HOUSTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Dynegy Inc. (NYSE: DYN) reported 2015 third quarter consolidated Adjusted EBITDA of $350 million, compared to $90 million for the 2014 third quarter. The $260 million increase was primarily due to the Company’s recent acquisitions, higher spark spreads in the Gas segment, higher wholesale capacity revenues at the IPH and Coal segments, and improved results for the retail business. These improvements in Adjusted EBITDA were partially offset by the expiration of a capacity contract at the Independence plant in the Gas segment. Operating income was $107 million for the 2015 third quarter compared to $22 million for the same period in 2014. The net loss attributable to Dynegy Inc. for the 2015 third quarter was $24 million, compared to a net loss attributable to Dynegy Inc. of $5 million for the 2014 third quarter.

For the first nine months of 2015, Dynegy Inc. reported consolidated Adjusted EBITDA of $628 million, compared to $280 million for the first nine months of 2014. The $348 million increase in Adjusted EBITDA resulted from the Company’s recent acquisitions, higher spark spreads and tolling and market capacity revenues in the Gas segment, and stronger capacity and retail results in the Coal and IPH segments. Partially offsetting these improvements were lower realized power prices on the unhedged power sales in the Coal segment and the expiration of the capacity contract at Independence. The operating income for the first nine months of 2015 was $77 million compared to an operating loss of $31 million in the first nine months of 2014. The net income attributable to Dynegy Inc. for the first nine months of 2015 was $184 million, compared to a net loss attributable to Dynegy Inc. of $169 million for the first nine months of 2014.

“Dynegy remains on track to meet the 2015 guidance range for Adjusted EBITDA and Free Cash Flow in spite of the mild third quarter summer temperatures, which adversely impacted the demand for power and power prices across our operating regions,” said Dynegy President and Chief Executive Officer Robert C. Flexon. “Our recent acquisitions significantly contributed to our financial performance during the quarter, and that, along with recent PRIDE contributions to our balance sheet and liquidity management, has allowed us to accelerate our stock repurchase program with approximately 75% of our $250 million program already completed.”

EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are non-GAAP financial measures and are used by management to evaluate Dynegy’s business on an ongoing basis. Please refer to Item 2.02 of Dynegy’s Form 8-K which is available on the Company’s website: www.dynegy.com and filed on November 4, 2015, for definitions, purposes and uses of such non-GAAP financial measures. A reconciliation of EBITDA to Operating income (loss) is presented above. General and administrative expenses are not allocated to each segment and are included in the Other segment. Management does not allocate interest expense and income taxes on a segment level and therefore uses Operating income (loss) as the most directly comparable GAAP measure.

Segment Review of Results Quarter-over-Quarter

Coal - The 2015 third quarter operating loss was $36 million, compared to an operating loss of $2 million for the same period in 2014. Adjusted EBITDA totaled $54 million during the 2015 third quarter compared to $1 million during the same period in 2014. The quarter-over-quarter increase in Adjusted EBITDA primarily resulted from the positive impact of the Company’s recent acquisitions, higher realized power prices, and improved wholesale capacity revenues.

IPH - The 2015 third quarter operating income was $31 million, compared to an operating income of $19 million for the same period in 2014. Adjusted EBITDA totaled $34 million during the 2015 third quarter compared to $15 million during the same period in 2014. The quarter-over-quarter increase in Adjusted EBITDA resulted from higher wholesale capacity revenues and retail gross margin.

Gas - The 2015 third quarter operating income was $152 million, compared to an operating income of $40 million for the same period in 2014. Adjusted EBITDA totaled $291 million during the 2015 third quarter compared to $98 million during the same period in 2014. The quarter-over-quarter increase in Adjusted EBITDA is primarily due to the Company’s recent acquisitions, higher hedged energy margin, and tolling and market capacity revenues, partially offset by the expiration of the capacity contract at Independence.

Liquidity

As of September 30, 2015, Dynegy’s total available liquidity was $1.9 billion as reflected in the table below.

__________________________________________

(1)				Includes cash of $128 million related to Genco.
(2)				Due to the ring-fenced nature of IPH, cash at the IPH and Genco entities may not be moved out of these entities without meeting certain criteria. However, cash at these entities is available to support current operations of these entities.
(3)				Includes: (i) $950 million of aggregate available capacity related to our incremental revolving credit facilities, $475 million of available capacity related to the five-year senior secured revolving credit facility and $55 million related to a letter of credit facility at Dynegy Inc. and (ii) $25 million related to the two-year secured letter of credit facility at IPH.
(4)				On December 2, 2013, Dynegy and Illinois Power Resources, LLC entered into an intercompany revolving promissory note of $25 million. At September 30, 2015, there was approximately $16 million outstanding on the note, which is not reflected in the table above.

Consolidated Cash Flow

Cash provided by operations for the first nine months of 2015 was $302 million. During the period, our power generation business provided cash of $655 million. Corporate and other activities used cash of $357 million primarily due to interest payments on our various debt agreements of $263 million and payments for acquisition-related costs of $111 million. Partially offsetting these costs was a $17 million cash inflow related to a receipt of escrow funds from Ponderosa Pine Energy, LLC. In addition, changes in working capital provided cash of approximately $4 million.

Cash used in investing activities during the first nine months of 2015 was $1.099 billion. The Company paid $6.078 billion in cash, net of cash acquired, in connection with the Company’s recent acquisitions. In addition, there was a $5.148 billion cash inflow related to the release of restricted cash from existing escrow accounts for closing the acquisitions. The Company had $142 million in maintenance capital expenditures, $20 million in environmental capital expenditures, and $9 million in capitalized interest.

Cash used in financing activities during the first nine months of 2015 was $139 million.

PRIDE (Producing Results through Innovation by Dynegy Employees)

In 2013, Dynegy launched the PRIDE Reloaded program with a three-year target (2014-2016) of $135 million in operating improvements and $165 million in balance sheet efficiencies. Dynegy is projected to achieve its three-year targets by the end of 2015 – a full year ahead of schedule. Dynegy has identified, secured, or realized $132 million of the $135 million EBITDA target, and has achieved $230 million in balance sheet efficiencies, which is 39% above the balance sheet efficiency goal.

Through the end of this year, Dynegy’s PRIDE program will have produced more than $280 million in EBITDA improvements and approximately $950 million in balance sheet benefits with minimal investments since its inception in 2011.

On September 29, 2015, Dynegy announced “PRIDE Energized” - the next iteration of the Company’s PRIDE program - targeted to deliver an incremental $250 million in EBITDA and $400 million in balance sheet improvements for Dynegy over the next three years (2016-2018). The benefits of “PRIDE Energized” come in addition to Dynegy’s previously announced $130 million in acquisition synergies. The overall goal of the PRIDE program continues to be improving operating performance, cost structure and balance sheet efficiency to drive incremental cash flow benefits.

2015 and 2016 Guidance

Dynegy’s full-year 2015 Adjusted EBITDA and Free Cash Flow guidance ranges are narrowed at $825 million to $925 million and $140 million to $240 million, respectively.

Full-year 2016 Adjusted EBITDA guidance range is set at $1,100 million to $1,300 million and Free Cash Flow guidance of $300 million to $500 million.

Beginning in 2016, the company’s Free Cash Flow guidance will exclude the upfront initial capital cost for newly required environmental compliance capital expenditures and will instead include only the recurring spend necessary to operate that equipment over time. As such, $50 million in capital spend, including $30 million for the Newton Power Station scrubber, has been excluded from Dynegy’s 2016 Free Cash Flow guidance range, and will instead be reported as part of its capital allocation program similar to the company’s other capital investments.

Share Repurchase Program

On August 3, 2015, the company announced that its Board of Directors had authorized a new $250 million share buyback program to be completed during 2016. As of September 30, 2015, the Company had repurchased 4,996,299 shares at an aggregate cost of $127 million. From October 1 - October 13, 2015, Dynegy repurchased an additional 2,629,056 shares at an aggregate cost of $60 million.

Wood River Power Station Retirement

Dynegy Inc. announced today plans to retire its 465 megawatt Wood River Power Station in Alton, Illinois in mid-2016. The Wood River Power Station includes two coal-fueled units that entered commercial operation in 1954 and 1964, respectively.

The decision to retire the Wood River facility is attributable to its uneconomic operation stemming from the poorly designed wholesale capacity market that mixes out-of-state regulated generators, that receive rate based compensation from their home states to recover costs, with Central and Southern Illinois competitive generators that rely on the capacity market for fair compensation to recover costs.

Investor Conference Call/Webcast

Dynegy’s earnings presentation and management comments on the earnings presentation will be available on the “Investor Relations” section of www.dynegy.com later today. Dynegy will answer questions about its 2015 third quarter financial results during an investor conference call and webcast tomorrow, November 5, 2015 at 9 a.m. ET/8 a.m. CT. Participants may access the webcast from the Company’s website.
