RRI Energy Reports Third Quarter 2009 Results
-- Implementing actions to mitigate near-term risk from current market
environment and position for longer-term market recovery
-- Open market purchases and tender offer reduce $177 million of secured
debt
-- Third quarter financial results and 2009 outlook reflect depressed
commodity prices and weak economic conditions
-- 2010 outlook shows significant improvement
HOUSTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- RRI Energy, Inc. today is reporting open EBITDA of $133 million for the third quarter of 2009, compared to $248 million for the same period of 2008. The decline was primarily due to lower unit margins resulting from lower commodity prices and lower power demand. Adjusted EBITDA was $100 million for the third quarter of 2009, compared to $350 million for the third quarter of 2008. Out-of-the-money coal hedges in 2009 compared to in-the-money coal hedges in 2008 form the primary difference between open and adjusted EBITDA for both periods. Free cash flow used in continuing operations was $179 million for the first nine months of 2009, compared to free cash flow provided by continuing operations of $298 million for the same period in 2008. These results exclude the performance of the Texas retail business, which was sold on May 1, 2009 and is included in discontinued operations.
"Managing challenges of this difficult economic environment continues to be our primary focus," said Mark Jacobs, president and chief executive officer of RRI Energy. "Our modest hedging program, which provides a high probability of achieving free cash flow breakeven or better in 2010 and 2011, secured debt reduction, and over $1.1 billion of cash position us to deliver long-term value to shareholders when the market recovers. Notwithstanding the difficult market conditions, we have taken actions to maximize the value of our assets through efficiency and effectiveness. Some of those actions include reducing our cost structure, utilizing invested capital more efficiently and implementing flexible operating models at some of our generating stations."
Open EBITDA was $129 million for the first nine months of 2009, compared to $505 million for the same period of 2008. Adjusted EBITDA was $42 million for the first nine months of 2009, compared to $709 million for the first nine months of 2008. The declines were due to the same factors as described above. These results exclude the performance of the Texas retail business, which was sold on May 1, 2009 and is included in discontinued operations.
The loss from continuing operations before income taxes for the third quarter of 2009 was $9 million, compared to income of $183 million for the third quarter of 2008. The reported results include net unrealized gains from energy derivatives of $7 million in 2009 and net unrealized losses from energy derivatives of $40 million in 2008.
The loss from continuing operations before income taxes for the first nine months of 2009 was $334 million, compared to income of $351 million for the first nine months of 2008. The 2009 reported results include net unrealized losses from energy derivatives of $30 million and severance costs totaling $8 million. The reported numbers for 2008 include net unrealized gains from energy derivatives of $58 million and a $37 million charge for western states litigation and similar settlements. Operating cash flow from continuing operations was ($275) million for the first nine months of 2009, compared to $505 million for the same period of 2008.
Outlook
RRI Energy's outlook is based on forward commodity prices as of October 23, 2009. The outlook for open EBITDA is $198 million and $455 million for the years ending December 31, 2009 and 2010, respectively. The outlook for adjusted EBITDA, which includes the impact of hedges and other items and gains on sales of assets and emission and exchange allowances, net is $56 million and $428 million for the same periods. The outlook for free cash flow provided by (used in) continuing operations is ($314) million and $167 million for the years ending December 31, 2009 and 2010, respectively.

(1) Generally represents economic generation (hours) divided by maximum generation hours (maximum plant
capacity multiplied by 8,760 hours).
(2) Estimated generation at 100% plant availability based on an hourly analysis of when it is economical to
generate based on the price of power, fuel, emission allowances and variable operating costs.
(3) Excludes generation related to power purchase agreements, including tolling agreements.
(4) Generation divided by economic generation.
(5) Represents open energy gross margin divided by generation.
(6) NM is not meaningful.
(7) Open energy gross margin is calculated using the power sales prices received by the plants less market
based delivered fuel cost. This figure excludes the effects of other margin, hedges and other items and
unrealized gains/losses on energy derivatives.
(8) Other margin represents power purchase agreements, capacity payments, ancillary services
revenues and selective commercial strategies.
(9) Segment profitability measure.
