Filing receipts

Financing activities A change of $2.3 billion in net cash provided by (used in) financing activities was primarily due to (i) $4.0 billion in new debt from the issuance of the Unsecured Notes due 2031 and 2033; (ii) $(1.2) billion redemption of the Secured Notes; (iii) $(195) million decrease in share repurchases; and (iv) $(140) million in payments for tax withholdings related to stock-based awards.

This is primarily driven by: (i) higher cleared capacity prices, partially offset by a decrease to lowered cleared volumes through the 2025/2026 PJM BRA compared to the 2024/2025 PJM BRA; and (ii) higher capacity results due to the Freedom and Guernsey acquisitions that were completed in November 2025. ◦ Unrealized gain (loss) on derivative instruments, net. $(275) million unfavorable decrease.
