Forward guidance

Following the close of the Vivint Smart Home acquisition, NRG is updating 2023 guidance to reflect the 10-month ownership of Vivint Smart Home, harmonizing the combined Adjusted EBITDA, and expanding Adjusted EBITDA and FCFbG guidance ranges.

Tailwinds

  • NRG Adjusted EBITDA has been updated to exclude amortization of customer acquisition costs (primarily related to capitalized sales commissions) and stock-based compensation.
  • Excluding the updates for the Vivint Smart Home acquisition and EBITDA harmonization, NRG’s previous standalone 2023 Adjusted EBITDA, Cash provided by Operating Activities, and FCFbG guidance remain unchanged.
  • Adjusted EBITDA guidance shown above has been updated to reflect the inclusion of Vivint and the harmonization of the definitions for the combined company.
