Dynegy Inc. (NYSE: DYN) reported a net loss of $133 million for the third quarter of 2017, compared to a net loss of $249 million for the third quarter of 2016. Results for the most recent quarter benefited from $86 million in contributions from assets acquired from ENGIE in February 2017 and lower impairment charges, partially offset by losses of $78 million related to the sale of assets and $66 million associated with the early extinguishment of debt.

The Company reported consolidated Adjusted EBITDA of $397 million for the 2017 third quarter compared to $350 million for the 2016 third quarter. Contributions from the ENGIE assets were partially offset by lower energy margin as a result of milder weather.

Net income for the first nine months of 2017 was $167 million compared to a net loss of $1,062 million for the first nine months of 2016. The year-to-date increase was primarily driven by contributions from the ENGIE assets, income from a deferred tax valuation allowance release in 2017, a gain primarily due to the extinguishment of debt associated with the Genco bankruptcy reorganization, and lower impairment charges, partially offset by non-cash mark-to-market losses associated with hedging transactions, acquisition and integration costs related to the ENGIE acquisition, a loss on the sale of assets, and a loss on the early extinguishment of debt.

For the first nine months of 2017, the Company reported consolidated Adjusted EBITDA of $867 million compared to $788 million for the first nine months of 2016. The $79 million increase in Adjusted EBITDA was primarily driven by contributions from the ENGIE assets, partially offset by lower energy margin largely driven by milder weather.

“During the third quarter, Dynegy’s power generation fleet produced the highest generation volumes in the Company’s history while simultaneously achieving top decile safety performance for the second quarter in a row,” said Robert C. Flexon, Dynegy’s President and Chief Executive Officer. “In addition to our operational achievements, we made significant improvements to our balance sheet, reducing our outstanding 2019 maturity by $1.25 billion, with approximately half of that repaid with asset sale proceeds and cash on hand.”

Segment Review of Results Quarter-over-Quarter

PJM - Operating income for the 2017 third quarter totaled $86 million, compared to operating income of $29 million for the same period of 2016. The increase was primarily due to income from the ENGIE assets, higher capacity revenues as a result of higher pricing, an increase in the mark-to-market value of derivative transactions and lower asset impairments, partially offset by lower energy margin. Adjusted EBITDA totaled $243 million during the 2017 third quarter compared to $215 million during the same period in 2016 primarily due to higher capacity revenues and contributions from the ENGIE assets, partially offset by lower energy margins.

NY/NE - Operating loss for the 2017 third quarter totaled $30 million, compared to operating loss of $15 million for the same period in 2016. The increase was primarily due to a $77 million loss related to the sale of the Dighton and Milford facilities in Massachusetts, partially offset by income from the ENGIE assets, higher capacity revenues as a result of higher pricing, and the change in the mark-to-market value of derivative transactions. Adjusted EBITDA totaled $92 million during the 2017 third quarter, compared to $55 million during the same period in 2016, primarily due to the contributions from the ENGIE assets.

ERCOT - Operating income for the 2017 third quarter totaled $50 million. Energy margin of $68 million and a mark-to-market gain of $23 million were partially offset by $23 million of O&M costs. Adjusted EBITDA was $46 million.

MISO - Operating loss for the 2017 third quarter totaled $9 million, compared to an operating income of $13 million for the same period in 2016. Contributing to the operating loss were lower dark spreads as a result of milder weather, lower generation volumes as a result of shutdowns in 2016, and higher depreciation expense. Adjusted EBITDA totaled $12 million during the 2017 third quarter compared to $16 million during the same period in 2016. The decrease was primarily due to lower dark spreads as a result of milder weather and lower generation volumes due to shutdowns in 2016.

IPH - Operating income for the 2017 third quarter totaled $11 million, compared to operating loss of $104 million for the same period of 2016. The year-over-year increase was primarily due to a $148 million impairment charge on the Newton facility in the third quarter 2016, partially offset by lower energy margin due to milder weather. Adjusted EBITDA totaled $21 million during the 2017 third quarter compared to $50 million during the same period in 2016, primarily due to lower energy margin as a result of milder weather.

CAISO - Operating income for the 2017 third quarter totaled $0 million, compared to operating income of $10 million for the same period in 2016. The decrease in operating income was primarily due to lower tolling revenue due to the expiration of a tolling agreement and lower capacity revenues due to lower contracted volumes and prices, partially offset by higher energy margin as a result of warmer weather. Adjusted EBITDA totaled $18 million during the 2017 third quarter compared to Adjusted EBITDA of $24 million during the same period in 2016.

Dynegy Inc. includes $1.5 billion in senior secured revolving credit facilities and $105 million related to LCs.

Consolidated Cash Flow

Cash provided by operations totaled $501 million for the first nine months of 2017. During the period, our power generation facilities and retail operations provided cash of $932 million. Corporate activities, primarily related to general and administrative, interest and acquisition-related expenses, as well as other working capital changes, used cash of $431 million during the period.

Cash used in investing activities totaled $2,771 million during the first nine months of 2017 as Dynegy used $3,249 million at the ENGIE acquisition closing and invested $129 million in capital expenditures, offset by $600 million proceeds received primarily related to the Troy and Armstrong, and Milford-MA and Dighton sales, in addition to $7 million distributions received from our unconsolidated investment in NELP.

Cash used in financing activities totaled $955 million for the first nine months of 2017 primarily as a result of the remaining payment obligation relating to the purchase of ECP’s interest in Atlas Power, payments related to our Genco subsidiary’s emergence from bankruptcy as well as various other financing activities.

2017 Guidance

Dynegy’s full-year 2017 Adjusted EBITDA guidance range remains unchanged at $1,200-1,400 million. The Company’s Adjusted free cash flow range is affirmed at $300 - $500 million.

The sale of Armstrong, Troy, Milford (MA), Dighton and Lee, together with the later than expected closing of the ENGIE acquisition, has impacted Adjusted EBITDA by approximately $70 million this year. As a result we currently expect to be near the bottom of the Adjusted EBITDA guidance range for the year.

PRIDE Update

Dynegy’s PRIDE Energized (Producing Results through Innovation by Dynegy Employees) program is on track to meet or exceed its 2017 target of $65 million in EBITDA by the end of the fourth quarter. The Company has already exceeded its three-year goal of $400 million in balance sheet improvements with $422 million in improvements accomplished in 2016. For 2017, Dynegy has identified more than $100 million of incremental balance sheet opportunities that will add to its aggregate total.

Safety

Dynegy’s safety performance for the third quarter 2017 was in the top decile for the industry for the second consecutive quarter. Both coal and gas facilities are focused on intensive safety initiatives helping to drive safety culture. Dynegy expects that all of its plants will complete the Voluntary Protection Program (VPP) process, a rigorous evaluation conducted by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), within the next three years. The Milford, Connecticut facility went through the VPP certification renewal process and was recommended for VPP recertification during the third quarter.

Retail Growth

Dynegy’s business has grown to serve approximately 1.2 million residential and commercial accounts. The retail business expanded to New England this summer with its municipal aggregation contracts in the greater Boston area. The Company now provides electricity to more than 500 communities in Illinois, Massachusetts and Ohio.

Asset Portfolio Updates

PJM and ISO-NE Asset Sales

Since June 30, Dynegy has completed the sale of five generating facilities, providing approximately $785 million in proceeds which were used for debt reduction. In July, Dynegy completed the sales of the Armstrong and Troy peaking units in Pennsylvania and Ohio, respectively, to an affiliate of LS Power for approximately $480 million in cash. In September, Dynegy completed the sale of the Dighton and Milford intermediate gas-fueled plants in Massachusetts to an affiliate of Starwood Energy Group Global for $125 million in cash including approximately $6 million in working capital adjustments. In October, Dynegy completed the sale of the Lee Energy Facility, a gas-fueled peaking asset in the PJM ComEd region, to an affiliate of Rockland Capital for $180 million in cash.

(1) EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are non-GAAP financial measures. Please refer to Item 2.02 of our Form 8-K filed on November 1, 2017, for definitions, utility and uses of such non-GAAP financial measures.
