Dynegy Inc. (NYSE: DYN) reported third quarter 2014 consolidated Adjusted EBITDA of $90 million, compared to $113 million for the third quarter 2013. The $23 million decrease in Adjusted EBITDA was primarily due to lower revenues associated with the Moss Landing toll and lower generation volumes, partially offset by the addition of Illinois Power Holdings (IPH). Operating income was $22 million for the third quarter 2014 compared to an operating income of $15 million for the same period in 2013. The net loss attributable to Dynegy Inc. for the third quarter 2014 was $5 million, compared to a net income of $22 million for the third quarter 2013.
For the first nine months of 2014, Dynegy reported consolidated Adjusted EBITDA of $280 million, compared to $164 million for the same period in 2013. The $116 million increase in Adjusted EBITDA was primarily due to improved spark spreads and generation volumes in the Gas segment, improved realized energy prices in the Coal segment and the addition of the IPH segment, partially offset by lower revenues from the Moss Landing toll and higher delivered fuel cost for the Coal segment. The operating loss for the first nine months of 2014 was $31 million compared to an operating loss of $211 million for the first nine months of 2013. The net loss attributable to Dynegy Inc. for the first nine months of 2014 was $169 million, compared to a net loss of $265 million for the first nine months of 2013.
“The Company remains on track to meet our 2014 financial guidance targets in spite of the mild summer weather and unplanned outages which impacted generation volumes at our Coal and IPH segments,” said Dynegy President and Chief Executive Officer Robert C. Flexon. “In October, we completed the financings for the Duke Midwest and EquiPower acquisitions announced during the quarter. Our integration plans and synergy targets are progressing as planned while the closing timeframes remain unchanged.”

Please refer to Item 2.02 of Dynegy’s Form 8-K which is available on the Company’s website: www.dynegy.com and filed on November 5, 2014, for definitions, purposes and uses of such non-GAAP financial measures. A reconciliation of EBITDA to Operating income (loss) is presented above. General and administrative expenses are not allocated to each segment and are included in the Other segment. Management does not allocate interest expense and income taxes on a segment level and therefore uses Operating income (loss) as the most directly comparable GAAP measure. |
Segment Review of Results Quarter-over-Quarter
Coal - The third quarter 2014 operating loss was $2 million, compared to an operating loss of $34 million for the same period in 2013. Adjusted EBITDA totaled $1 million during the third quarter 2014 compared to $6 million during the same period in 2013. The quarter-over-quarter decrease in Adjusted EBITDA is due to higher delivered fuel costs and lower generation volumes as a result of higher planned and unplanned outages, which more than offset higher realized prices, during the third quarter 2014 compared to third quarter 2013.
Gas - The third quarter 2014 operating income was $40 million, compared to operating income of $74 million for the same period in 2013. Adjusted EBITDA totaled $98 million during the third quarter 2014 compared to $121 million during the same period in 2013. The quarter-over-quarter decrease in Adjusted EBITDA is primarily due to a decrease in revenues associated with the Moss Landing toll.
IPH - The third quarter 2014 operating income was $19 million. Adjusted EBITDA totaled $15 million during the third quarter 2014. The segment generated 6.8 million megawatt-hours, a meaningful portion of which was hedged through the segment’s retail business and third parties. The segment’s capacity factor was 74% during the quarter primarily due to unplanned outages as well as mild summer weather which adversely impacted results.
Liquidity
As of September 30, 2014, Dynegy’s total available liquidity was $1.4 billion as reflected in the table below.

(3) | The financings for the EquiPower and Duke transactions were completed in October 2014 and therefore the totals above do not include funds from the financings. |
Consolidated Cash Flow
Cash provided by operations for the first nine months 2014 was $276 million. During the first nine months 2014, the power generation business provided cash of $285 million primarily due to the operation of the Company’s power generation facilities, including retail sales. Corporate and other activities used cash of $97 million primarily due to interest payments related to the Company’s Credit Agreement and Senior Notes and the Genco Senior Notes and payments for acquisition-related costs. In addition, there were $88 million in positive working capital and other changes.
Cash used in investing activities totaled $77 million for the first nine months 2014. During the first nine months 2014, capital expenditures totaled $94 million, including $55 million in maintenance capital expenditures, $24 million in environmental capital expenditures and $15 million in capitalized interest. During the first nine months 2014, there was a $17 million cash inflow related to cash proceeds received upon the close of the sale of the Company’s 50 percent interest in Nevada Cogeneration Associates #2, a partnership that owns Black Mountain.
Cash used in financing activities during the quarter was $10 million.
PRIDE Reloaded
Over the next three years, the Company is targeting $135 million in operating improvements and $165 million in balance sheet efficiencies from its PRIDE (Producing Results through Innovation by Dynegy Employees) Reloaded program. The Company is on track to meet its 2014 PRIDE Reloaded EBITDA improvement target of $60 million and its balance sheet efficiency target of $65 million. Year-to-date, Dynegy has achieved $50 million of the 2014 EBITDA improvement target and $50 million of the balance sheet efficiency target. PRIDE projects to improve reliability are underway and are expected to drive our 2015 PRIDE contributions. The overall goal of the PRIDE Reloaded program continues to be improving operating performance, cost structure and the balance sheet to drive incremental cash flow benefits.
2014 and 2015 Guidance
Dynegy has narrowed the guidance ranges for 2014 consolidated Adjusted EBITDA to $330 million to $360 million and consolidated 2014 Free Cash Flow to $45 million to $75 million.
Full-year 2015 Adjusted EBITDA and Free Cash Flow guidance have been raised to $1.35-1.55 billion and $600-800 million, respectively. The updated guidance is based on October 20, 2014 price curves and assumes that the Duke Midwest and EquiPower transactions close on January 1, 2015.
Transactions Update
Dynegy announced the acquisitions of EquiPower Resources Corp. and Brayton Point Holdings, LLC from Energy Capital Partners and ownership interests in certain Midwest generation assets and a retail energy business from Duke Energy on August 22, 2014. The transactions will almost double the Company’s power generation capacity to nearly 26,000 MW.
The transactions are subject to customary closing conditions, including approval from the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) and expiration of Hart-Scott-Rodino (HSR) waiting periods. The FERC Section 203 filings and notifications under the HSR Act were submitted in September 2014.
In October, Dynegy completed the financing for the Duke Midwest and EquiPower acquisitions. The financing included 22,500,000 shares of common stock priced at $31.00 per share for gross proceeds of approximately $698 million, before underwriting discounts and commissions; 4,000,000 shares of mandatory convertible preferred stock at $100 per share for gross proceeds of approximately $400 million, before underwriting discounts and commissions; and $5.1 billion in aggregate principal amount of senior unsecured notes in a private placement.
Plans to capture Dynegy’s initial synergy target of $40 million in annual cost savings are in place. As part of the integration, Dynegy will also expand its PRIDE (Producing Results through Innovation by Dynegy Employees) program to both businesses to generate balance sheet and operational efficiencies beyond those identified to date.

This press release contains statements reflecting assumptions, expectations, projections, intentions or beliefs about future events that are intended as “forward-looking statements,” particularly those statements concerning synergy targets, timing of the integration and closing of the Duke Midwest and EquiPower transactions; execution of its PRIDE reloaded target in balance sheet and operating improvements; anticipated earnings and cash flows and Dynegy’s 2014 and 2015 Adjusted EBITDA and Free Cash Flow guidance. Historically, Dynegy’s performance has deviated, in some cases materially, from its cash flow and earnings guidance. Discussion of risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from current projections, forecasts, estimates and expectations of Dynegy is contained in Dynegy’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Specifically, Dynegy makes reference to, and incorporates herein by reference, the section entitled “Risk Factors” in its 2013 Form 10-K and subsequent Form 10-Qs. In addition to the risks and uncertainties set forth in Dynegy’s SEC filings, the forward-looking statements described in this press release could be affected by, among other things, (i) expectations regarding environmental matters, including costs of compliance, availability and adequacy of emission credits and the impact of ongoing proceedings and potential regulations or changes to current regulations, including those relating to climate change, air emissions, cooling water intake structures, coal combustion byproducts and other laws and regulations to which we are, or could become, subject; (ii) beliefs, assumptions and projections regarding the demand for power, generation volumes and commodity pricing, including natural gas prices and the timing of a recovery in natural gas prices, if any; (iii) sufficiency of, access to and costs associated with coal, fuel oil and natural gas inventories and transportation thereof; (iv) beliefs and assumptions about market competition, generation capacity and regional supply and demand characteristics of the wholesale and retail power generation market, including the anticipation of plant retirements and higher market pricing over the longer term; (v) the effects of, or changes to, MISO, PJM or ISO-NE power procurement process; (vi) the effectiveness of our strategies to capture opportunities presented by changes in commodity prices and to manage our exposure to energy price volatility; (vii) efforts to secure retail sales and the ability to grow the retail business; (viii) efforts to identify opportunities to reduce congestion and improve busbar power prices; (ix) beliefs and assumptions about weather and general economic conditions; (x) projected operating or financial results, including anticipated cash flows from operations, revenues and profitability; (xi) expectations regarding our compliance with the Credit Agreement, including collateral demands, interest expense, any applicable financial ratios and other payments; (xii) our focus on safety and our ability to efficiently operate our assets so as to capture revenue generating opportunities and operating margins; (xiii) beliefs about the costs and scope of the ongoing demolition and site remediation efforts at the South Bay and Vermilion facilities; (xiv) the strategic evaluation of our California assets; (xv) beliefs regarding redevelopment efforts for the Morro Bay facility; (xvi) ability to mitigate impacts associated with expiring RMR and/or capacity contracts; (xvii) beliefs about the outcome of legal, administrative, legislative and regulatory matters; (xviii) the timing and anticipated benefits to be achieved through our company-wide savings improvement programs, including our PRIDE initiative; (xix) expectations regarding performance standards and capital and maintenance expenditures; and (xx) expectations regarding the synergies, completion, timing, terms and anticipated benefits of the Duke Midwest Acquisition and the EquiPower Acquisition. Any or all of Dynegy’s forward-looking statements may turn out to be wrong. They can be affected by inaccurate assumptions or by known or unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors, many of which are beyond Dynegy’s control.

(1) EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are non-GAAP financial measures. Please refer to Item 2.02 of our Form 8-K filed on November 5, 2014, for definitions, utility and uses of such non-GAAP financial measures. A reconciliation of EBITDA to Operating income (loss) is presented below. Management does not allocate interest expense and income taxes on a segment level and therefore uses Operating income (loss) as the most directly comparable GAAP measure. | ||||||||||||||||
