Nrg Energy Inc. Financials
Nrg Energy Inc. (NRG) reported $30.7B in revenue for fiscal year 2025, up 9.2% from the prior fiscal year. This page shows its income statement, balance sheet, cash flow statement, and key financial ratios.

Debt-funded liquidity masked a margin-and-cash reset as higher sales produced less profit and much less free cash.
The most important shift is that cash on hand rose to$4.7B while free cash flow fell to$766M ; the stronger liquidity headline was created mainly by balance-sheet funding, not by a surge in operating performance. That shows up in financing inflow of$3.5B alongside long-term debt climbing to$16.4B , even though operating cash flow still exceeded net income.
Higher revenue did not translate into better economics: gross profit barely changed while operating margin fell from
