Second-quarter Texas adjusted EBITDA fell $131 million year over year to $381 million because of higher supply costs, a roughly 30% decrease in heating degree days, lower retail load, and operating expenses for new generation assets. East adjusted EBITDA increased $370 million to $469 million, driven by new generation assets, CPower, and higher capacity prices, partly offset by Winter Storm Fern supply costs and lower natural gas margins. Vivint Smart Home adjusted EBITDA increased $42 million to $301 million as new customer additions and monthly recurring service margin per customer improved. West/Other adjusted EBITDA rose $27 million to $66 million primarily because of lower operating expenses after a lease expired in May 2025.
