Talen Energy Q2 net income falls to $72 million; reaffirms 2025 guidance

Mixed Impact 4 of 5 earnings Written later

Talen Energy reported second quarter 2025 GAAP net income attributable to stockholders of $72 million, down from $454 million a year earlier, mainly because a 2024 gain on the ERCOT portfolio sale did not recur. Adjusted EBITDA rose slightly to $90 million, but Adjusted Free Cash Flow was a use of $(78) million, and the company reaffirmed its 2025 guidance while agreeing to buy two gas plants for a net price of $3.5 billion.

  • Q2 2025 GAAP net income attributable to stockholders was $72 million, compared with $454 million in Q2 2024.
  • Q2 2025 Adjusted EBITDA was $90 million, up $3 million from $87 million, while Adjusted Free Cash Flow was $(78) million, compared with $(29) million.
