ARLINGTON, Va., July 31, 2025 – The AES Corporation (NYSE: AES) today reported financial results for the quarter ended June 30, 2025.

"AES is in a uniquely strong position due to our diversified operating portfolio, well-protected 12 GW backlog of signed long-term PPAs, and established domestic supply chain," said Andrés Gluski, AES President and Chief Executive Officer. "With 1.6 GW of signed PPAs with data centers since our first quarter results in May, we are a leader in the fastest growing segment in the market."

The Company is not able to provide a corresponding GAAP equivalent or reconciliation for its Adjusted EPS guidance without unreasonable effort.

"We made excellent progress during the second quarter of 2025, as demonstrated by the robust growth in Adjusted EBITDA at our Renewables SBU, which was 56% higher than in the same period last year," said Stephen Coughlin, AES Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer. "Our strong track record with our customers, resilient supply chain strategy, and advanced construction execution enable us to confidently reaffirm both our 2025 guidance and long-term growth rate targets through 2027."

Second quarter 2025 Net Loss was $150 million, a decrease of $303 million compared to Net Income of $153 million in second quarter 2024, primarily due to higher day-one losses on sales type leases at AES Clean Energy Development4. In addition, Net Income was negatively impacted by higher income tax expense, lower margins from the Energy Infrastructure Strategic Business Unit (SBU) from prior year unrealized derivative gains and higher prior year revenues from the monetization of the Warrior Run coal plant PPA. This decrease was partially offset by the impact of reclassifying Mong Duong from held-for-sale to held and used, and higher contributions from renewables projects placed in service in the current year.

Second quarter 2025 Adjusted EBITDA5 (a non-GAAP financial measure) was $681 million, an increase of $23 million compared to second quarter 2024, driven by higher contributions from the Renewables SBU primarily due to higher revenues from renewables projects placed in service and prior year outages in Colombia. This was partially offset by the sale of AES Brasil, higher prior year revenues from the monetization of the Warrior Run coal plant PPA, and the impact of the sell-down of AES Ohio in the Utilities SBU.

Second quarter 2025 Adjusted EBITDA with Tax Attributes5,6 (a non-GAAP financial measure) was $1,057 million, an increase of $208 million compared to second quarter 2024, due to higher realized tax attributes driven by more projects placed in service and higher income from tax credit transfers, as well as the drivers above.

Second quarter 2025 Diluted Earnings Per Share from Continuing Operations (Diluted EPS) was ($0.15), a decrease of $0.54 compared to second quarter 2024, mainly driven by higher income tax expense, day-one losses on the commencement of sales-type leases at AES Clean Energy Development, and lower earnings at the Energy Infrastructure SBU primarily due to higher prior year revenues from the monetization of the Warrior Run coal plant PPA. This was partially offset by the derecognition of a valuation allowance on the loan receivable upon reclassifying Mong Duong from held-for-sale to held and used.

Second quarter 2025 Adjusted Earnings Per Share7 (Adjusted EPS, a non-GAAP financial measure) was $0.51, an increase of $0.13 compared to second quarter 2024, mainly driven by a lower adjusted tax rate and higher contributions due to new renewables projects placed in service, partially offset by lower contributions from the Utilities SBU due to planned outages.

•The Company's backlog, which consists of projects with signed contracts, but which are not yet operational, is 12 GW, including 5.2 GW under construction. Since the Company's first quarter 2025 earnings call in May 2025, the Company:

◦Completed the construction of 1.2 GW of energy storage and solar, including the 1 GW Bellefield 1 solar-plus-storage facility, for a total of 1.9 GW year-to-date, and is on track to add a total of 3.2 GW to its operating portfolio by year-end 2025; and

4     Losses recognized on the commencement of sales-type leases primarily relate to the exclusion of the value of Investment Tax Credits from the fair value of the renewable asset.

5     Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure. See attached "Non-GAAP Measures" for definition of Adjusted EBITDA and a description of the adjustments to reconcile Adjusted EBITDA to Net Income for the quarter ended June 30, 2025. The Company is not able to provide a corresponding GAAP equivalent or reconciliation for its Adjusted EBITDA guidance without unreasonable effort.

6     Pre-tax effect of Production Tax Credits, Investment Tax Credits, and depreciation tax deductions allocated to tax equity investors, as well as the tax benefit recorded from tax credits retained or transferred to third parties.

7     Adjusted EPS is a non-GAAP financial measure. See attached "Non-GAAP Measures" for definition of Adjusted EPS and a description of the adjustments to reconcile Adjusted EPS to Diluted EPS for the quarter ended June 30, 2025. The Company is not able to provide a corresponding GAAP equivalent or reconciliation for its Adjusted EPS guidance without unreasonable effort.

◦Signed or was awarded new long-term PPAs for 1.6 GW of renewables, all with data center companies, and a total of 2 GW year-to-date.

•In June, AES Indiana filed a petition for regulatory rate review with the Indiana Utility Regulatory Commission (IURC).

◦This is AES Indiana's first rate case using a forward-looking test year, which will enable a more efficient investment program to best serve customers with cost-effective and reliable electricity service.

Guidance and Expectations8,10

The Company is reaffirming its 2025 guidance for Adjusted EBITDA8 of $2,650 to $2,850 million. Growth in 2025 is expected to be driven by contributions from new renewables projects, rate base growth at the Company's US utilities, and normalized results in Colombia and Mexico, partially offset by revenues from the monetization of the Warrior Run coal plant PPA in 2024 and asset sales.

The Company is reaffirming its expectation for annualized growth in Adjusted EBITDA8 of 5% to 7% through 2027, from a base of its 2023 guidance of $2,600 to $2,900 million.

The Company is reaffirming its expectation that 2025 Adjusted EBITDA with Tax Attributes8,9 of $3,950 to $4,350 million.

The Company is reaffirming its 2025 Adjusted EPS10 guidance of $2.10 to $2.26. Growth in 2025 is expected to be primarily driven by contributions from new renewables projects, rate base growth at the Company's US utilities, and normalized results in Colombia and Mexico, partially offset by revenues from the monetization of the Warrior Run coal plant PPA in 2024, asset sales, higher Parent interest, and a higher adjusted tax rate.

The Company is reaffirming its annualized growth target for Adjusted EPS10 of 7% to 9% through 2025, from a base year of 2020. The Company is also reaffirming its annualized growth target for Adjusted EPS8 of 7% to 9% through 2027, from a base of its 2023 guidance of $1.65 to $1.75.

The Company's 2025 guidance is based on foreign currency and commodity forward curves as of June 30, 2025.

The Company expects to maintain its current quarterly dividend payment of $0.17595 going forward.

We define EBITDA as earnings before interest income and expense, taxes, depreciation, amortization, and accretion of AROs. We define Adjusted EBITDA as EBITDA adjusted for the impact of NCI and interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization, and accretion of AROs of our equity affiliates, adding back interest income recognized under service concession arrangements, and excluding gains or losses of both consolidated entities and entities accounted for under the equity method due to (a) unrealized gains or losses pertaining to derivative transactions, equity securities, and financial assets and liabilities measured using the fair value option; (b) unrealized foreign currency gains or losses; (c) gains, losses, benefits and costs associated with dispositions and acquisitions of business interests, including early plant closures, and gains and losses recognized at commencement of sales-type leases; (d) losses due to impairments; (e) gains, losses, and costs due to the early retirement of debt or troubled debt restructuring, and (f) costs directly associated with a major restructuring program, including, but not limited to, workforce reduction efforts. We define Adjusted EBITDA with Tax Attributes as Adjusted EBITDA, adding back the pre-tax effect of Production Tax Credits ("PTCs"), Investment Tax Credits ("ITCs"), and depreciation tax deductions allocated to tax equity investors, as well as the tax benefit recorded from tax credits retained or transferred to third parties.

The GAAP measure most comparable to EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, and Adjusted EBITDA with Tax Attributes is net income. We believe that EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, and Adjusted EBITDA with Tax Attributes better reflect the underlying business performance of the Company. Adjusted EBITDA is the most relevant measure considered in the Company’s internal evaluation of the financial performance of its segments. Factors in this determination include the variability due to unrealized gains or losses pertaining to derivative transactions, equity securities, or financial assets and liabilities remeasurement, unrealized foreign currency gains or losses, losses due to impairments, strategic decisions to dispose of or acquire business interests, retire debt, or implement restructuring initiatives, and the variability of allocations of earnings to tax equity investors, which affect results in a given period or periods. In addition, each of these metrics represent the business performance of the Company before the application of statutory income tax rates and tax adjustments, including the effects of tax planning, corresponding to the various jurisdictions in which the Company operates. EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, and Adjusted EBITDA with Tax Attributes should not be construed as alternatives to net income, which is determined in accordance with GAAP.

_______________________________

(1)         The allocation of earnings and losses to tax equity investors from both consolidated entities and equity affiliates is removed from Adjusted EBITDA. NCI also excludes amounts allocated to preferred shareholders during the construction phase before a project becomes operational, as this is akin to a financing arrangement.

(2)         Adjusted EBITDA with Tax Attributes includes the impact of the share of the ITCs, PTCs, and depreciation deductions allocated to tax equity investors under the HLBV accounting method and recognized as Net loss (income) attributable to noncontrolling interests and redeemable stock of subsidiaries on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. It also includes the tax benefit recorded from tax credits retained or transferred to third parties. The tax attributes are related to the Renewables and Utilities SBUs.

We define Adjusted PTC as pre-tax income from continuing operations attributable to The AES Corporation excluding gains or losses of the consolidated entity due to (a) unrealized gains or losses pertaining to derivative transactions, equity securities, and financial assets and liabilities measured using the fair value option; (b) unrealized foreign currency gains or losses; (c) gains, losses, benefits, and costs associated with dispositions and acquisitions of business interests, including early plant closures, and gains and losses recognized at commencement of sales-type leases; (d) losses due to impairments; (e) gains, losses, and costs due to the early retirement of debt or troubled debt restructuring; and (f) costs directly associated with a major restructuring program, including, but not limited to, workforce reduction efforts. Adjusted PTC also includes net equity in earnings of affiliates on an after-tax basis adjusted for the same gains or losses excluded from consolidated entities.

We define Adjusted EPS as diluted earnings per share from continuing operations excluding gains or losses of both consolidated entities and entities accounted for under the equity method due to (a) unrealized gains or losses pertaining to derivative transactions, equity securities, and financial assets and liabilities measured using the fair value option; (b) unrealized foreign currency gains or losses; (c) gains, losses, benefits and costs associated with dispositions and acquisitions of business interests, including early plant closures, and the tax impact from the repatriation of sales proceeds, and gains and losses recognized at commencement of sales-type leases; (d) losses due to impairments; (e) gains, losses, and costs due to the early retirement of debt or troubled debt restructuring; and (f) costs directly associated with a major restructuring program, including, but not limited to, workforce reduction efforts.

The GAAP measure most comparable to Adjusted PTC is income from continuing operations attributable to AES. The GAAP measure most comparable to Adjusted EPS is diluted earnings per share from continuing operations. We believe that Adjusted PTC and Adjusted EPS better reflect the underlying business performance of the Company and are considered in the Company’s internal evaluation of financial performance. Factors in this determination include the variability due to unrealized gains or losses pertaining to derivative transactions, equity securities, or financial assets and liabilities remeasurement, unrealized foreign currency gains or losses, losses due to impairments, and strategic decisions to dispose of or acquire business interests, retire debt, or implement restructuring initiatives, which affect results in a given period or periods. In addition, for Adjusted PTC, earnings before tax represents the business performance of the Company before the application of statutory income tax rates and tax adjustments, including the effects of tax planning, corresponding to the various jurisdictions in which the Company operates. Adjusted PTC and Adjusted EPS should not be construed as alternatives to income from continuing operations attributable to AES and diluted earnings per share from continuing operations, which are determined in accordance with GAAP.

The Company reported diluted loss per share of $0.15 and $0.08 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025. The Company reported diluted earnings per share of $0.39 and $0.99 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024. For purposes of measuring earnings per share under U.S. GAAP, income available to AES common stockholders is reduced by increases in the carrying amount of redeemable stock of subsidiaries to redemption value and increased by decreases in the carrying amount to the extent they represent recoveries of amounts previously reflected in the computation of earnings per share. While the adjustment for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 decreased earnings per share and the adjustment for the three months ended June 30, 2024 increased earnings per share, neither adjustment impacted Net income on the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations. For purposes of computing Adjusted EPS, the Company excluded the adjustment to redemption value from the numerator. The table below reconciles the income available to AES common stockholders used in GAAP diluted earnings per share to the income from continuing operations used in calculating the non-GAAP measure of Adjusted EPS.

____________________________

(1)Subsidiary distributions received by Qualified Holding Companies ("QHCs") excluded from Schedule 1. Subsidiary Distributions should not be construed as an alternative to Consolidated Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities, which is determined in accordance with US GAAP. Subsidiary Distributions are important to the Parent Company because the Parent Company is a holding company that does not derive any significant direct revenues from its own activities but instead relies on its subsidiaries’ business activities and the resultant distributions to fund the debt service, investment and other cash needs of the holding company. The reconciliation of the difference between the Subsidiary Distributions and Consolidated Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities consists of cash generated from operating activities that is retained at the subsidiaries for a variety of reasons which are both discretionary and non-discretionary in nature. These factors include, but are not limited to, retention of cash to fund capital expenditures at the subsidiary, cash retention associated with non-recourse debt covenant restrictions and related debt service requirements at the subsidiaries, retention of cash related to sufficiency of local GAAP statutory retained earnings at the subsidiaries, retention of cash for working capital needs at the subsidiaries, and other similar timing differences between when the cash is generated at the subsidiaries and when it reaches the Parent Company and related holding companies.

(2)Parent Company Liquidity is defined as cash available to the Parent Company, including cash at qualified holding companies (QHCs), plus available borrowings under our existing credit facility. AES believes that unconsolidated Parent Company liquidity is important to the liquidity position of AES as a Parent Company because of the non-recourse nature of most of AES’ indebtedness.

(3)The cash held at QHCs represents cash sent to subsidiaries of the company domiciled outside of the US. Such subsidiaries have no contractual restrictions on their ability to send cash to AES, the Parent Company. Cash at those subsidiaries was used for investment and related activities outside of the US. These investments included equity investments and loans to other foreign subsidiaries as well as development and general costs and expenses incurred outside the US. Since the cash held by these QHCs is available to the Parent, AES uses the combined measure of subsidiary distributions to Parent and QHCs as a useful measure of cash available to the Parent to meet its international liquidity needs.
