Management Comments
Jim Burke
The Vistra team delivered another strong quarter, building on our momentum from the start of the year and continuing to execute at a high level. I'm incredibly proud of our employees across the company - through their commitment, collaboration, and focus on serving our customers, Vistra delivered a more than 30% year-over-year increase in Ongoing Operations Adjusted EBITDA. From our generation team maintaining a reliable fleet, to our commercial and retail teams navigating dynamic market conditions and delivering solutions for customers, these results reflect the hard work and dedication of our people. We also announced an important investment to further position Vistra for long-term growth. The formation of Helix Digital Infrastructure, alongside our partners NVIDIA, KKR, and Kuwait Investment Authority, as well as Vistra's role as Helix's preferred power provider, create an exciting opportunity for the company. At the same time, we continued advancing key strategic initiatives, including the pending Cogentrix acquisition, construction of our two Permian Basin natural gas units, and development of solar facilities, including Oak Hill 2 and Pulaski. Operationally, the Vistra team's preparation and disciplined execution during our annual spring maintenance season set us up for strong, reliable performance during the first half of the summer. During recent periods of extreme heat in Texas and the PJM market, Vistra achieved commercial availability of 97% or greater across our fleet, helping ensure reliable power when our customers and communities needed it most. As we complete the critical summer period and the remainder of the year, we remain focused on safely and reliably operating our fleet, advancing our strategy, and continuing to create solutions and value for our customers, communities, employees, and shareholders.
