Talen Energy posts $135 million Q1 net loss, affirms and narrows 2025 guidance
Talen Energy reported a first-quarter 2025 GAAP net loss attributable to stockholders of $135 million, compared with net income of $294 million a year earlier, as the absence of a prior-year asset sale gain and lower realized hedge gains weighed on results. The company affirmed and narrowed its 2025 guidance, with 2025 Adjusted EBITDA now projected at $975 million to $1.125 billion, which gives shareholders a clearer range but no increase in expectations.
