Talen Energy Corporation filed an amended report to add detailed financial statements and pro forma information for its previously completed Cornerstone Acquisition from Energy Capital Partners. Talen bought three PJM-region natural gas facilities (Lawrenceburg, Waterford, Darby) with a combined nameplate capacity above 2,500 MW.
The aggregate purchase price was $3.5 billion, consisting of $2.6 billion in cash and 2,399,998 Talen common shares valued at $927 million at closing. Cornerstone’s audited 2025 results show $323.2 million in operating revenues, operating income of $62.9 million, and a small net loss of $3.0 million, on total assets of $2.85 billion and long-term debt of about $1.36 billion.
Unaudited Q1 2026 results for Cornerstone show operating revenues of $262.0 million, net income of $33.6 million and cash from operations of $81.7 million, reflecting strong cash generation but also significant use of derivatives, which produced sizable hedge losses recorded in revenue and operating expense. Pro forma combined statements of operations for 2025 and the first half of 2026 are provided to show Talen’s results as if the acquisition had been in place earlier.
Talen Energy Corporation reported Q2 2026 operating revenues of $747 million, up from $630 million a year earlier, driven by higher electricity and capacity sales, partly offset by a $212 million unrealized loss on derivatives.
The company recorded a net loss of $92 million (–$2.00 per share) versus net income of $72 million last year, as energy costs, depreciation and especially interest expense rose. Quarterly interest expense and other finance charges increased to $214 million from $62 million following issuance of $4.0 billion of new unsecured notes and redemption of $1.2 billion of secured notes.
Year‑to‑date, the net loss narrowed to $29 million from $63 million. The Cornerstone Acquisition expanded the asset base, lifting property, plant and equipment to $11.9 billion and total assets to $15.1 billion, while long‑term debt rose to $9.5 billion. Cash and restricted cash fell to $238 million, alongside access to a $1.35 billion revolver and $1.5 billion letter‑of‑credit facility. Nuclear decommissioning trust funds totaled $2.0 billion, and Talen describes significant PJM capacity market changes, RMR contracts, and evolving EPA rules that could affect future operations and capital needs.
Talen Energy Corporation reported Q2 2026 results with a GAAP net loss attributable to stockholders of $92 million, compared with $72 million of income a year earlier, largely due to unrealized losses on derivative instruments and higher interest expense. Underlying performance strengthened, with Adjusted EBITDA at $374 million versus $90 million in Q2 2025 and Adjusted Free Cash Flow at $212 million versus negative $78 million, driven by higher energy and capacity revenues and lower income tax payments.
For the first half of 2026, Adjusted EBITDA reached $847 million and Adjusted Free Cash Flow $562 million. Talen raised its 2026 outlook to Adjusted EBITDA of $2,025–$2,225 million and Adjusted Free Cash Flow of $1,200–$1,350 million, excluding Keystone from July 1, 2026. The company completed the Cornerstone Acquisition, adding about 2.6 GW of generation, issued $4.0 billion of new senior unsecured notes, upsized credit facilities, repurchased 550,000 shares for about $200 million in Q2 (15 million shares since 2024), and reported approximately $1.9 billion of available liquidity as of July 31, 2026, while maintaining a target of net leverage below 3.5x.
