Renewables SBU operating margin increased $162 million in the three months ended June 30, 2026, driven by a $76 million favorable U.S. energy-derivatives impact, $62 million of U.S. development services, and $34 million of higher spot sales and prices associated with El Niño. Six-month operating margin increased $252 million, including $123 million from U.S. development services, $93 million from U.S. energy derivatives, and $27 million from higher El Niño-driven spot sales and prices. Six-month Adjusted EBITDA increased $237 million after adjustments for unrealized derivatives, restructuring costs, noncontrolling interests, and depreciation and amortization. Higher depreciation reduced operating margin by $14 million in the quarter and $36 million year to date, while lower contracted energy margin in Colombia partially offset the gains.
