• 2026 outlook unchanged: Management maintained its guidance for $1.75 billion–$1.95 billion of Adjusted EBITDA and $600 million–$700 million of free cash flow before growth, assuming normal weather and operating conditions.
• Repowering and storage projects are progressing: Half of the planned 2026 repowerings are complete, while the Mammoth Plains and Carousel battery-storage joint ventures were formed with construction potentially beginning in the fourth quarter and most activity expected in 2027.
• Recontracting offers a longer-term value opportunity: XPLR is evaluating selective contract extensions and optimization opportunities, although management expects most major discussions to occur as legacy contracts approach expiration in the early to mid-2030s.
• Near-term cash is constrained by commitments: Management said project-level reserves, already committed capital expenditures and additional second-half spending will reduce available cash, with planned CEPF buyouts and debt refinancing largely expected in 2027.
