Vistra Energy (NYSE: VST) reported Q2 EPS of $0.20, $0.07 worse than the analyst estimate of $0.27. Revenue for the quarter came in at $2.57 billion versus the consensus estimate of $2.43 billion.

Curt Morgan, Vistra's chief executive officer, commented, "Our company had another strong quarter, delivering adjusted EBITDA that exceeded expectations. Following the close of the Dynegy merger on April 9, our integration efforts are in full swing and we remain on track to achieve the full $500 million run-rate value lever targets by year-end 2019. We are confident our low-cost, low-leverage, integrated business model will generate strong, stable EBITDA while converting approximately 60 percent of adjusted EBITDA to adjusted free cash flow on an annual basis. This kind of performance will enable a diverse set of capital allocation alternatives to create and return value for our shareholders."
