The primary engine behind the strong results was the company's Texas segment, which generated $807 million in Adjusted EBITDA, a $223 million year-over-year improvement driven by improved margins and supply cost optimization. GAAP net income swung to $152 million from a loss of $767 million a year ago, and Adjusted EBITDA climbed to $1.21 billion from $1.05 billion. Looking ahead, NRG reaffirmed its raised 2025 guidance for Adjusted EBITDA of $3.88 billion to $4.03 billion and Adjusted EPS of $7.55 to $8.15, while also initiating 2026 standalone guidance with Adjusted EBITDA of $3.93 billion to $4.18 billion, signaling confidence that its pending $19 GW LS Power acquisition and expanding data center agreements will sustain momentum into the next fiscal year.
