NRG Energy (NYSE: NRG) reported $187 million of Adjusted EBITDA for second quarter 2015. Revenue for the quarter came in at $3.4 billion versus the consensus estimate of $3.52 billion.

Updating Guidance

• Reducing 2015 Adjusted EBITDA guidance from $690 million to $660 million and 2015 CAFD guidance from $195 million to $160 million to reflect lower expected wind production across the fleet and a modified pace of residential solar deployments by NRG Home Solar over the balance of 2015, partially offset by the impact of acquisitions
• Excluding the impact of future drop downs, NRG Yield expects its existing portfolio to deliver $760 million of Adjusted EBITDA and $245 million of CAFD on an annual run rate basis
• Targeting $0.25 per share quarterly dividend ($1.00 per share annualized) by the fourth quarter 2016, a 19% increase over the current rate and a 67% increase since our first post-IPO dividend in the fourth quarter 2013
