- FINANCIAL STATEMENT PRESENTATION
Consolidation — In this Quarterly Report, the terms “AES,” “the Company,” “us,” or “we” refer to the consolidated entity, including its subsidiaries and affiliates. The terms “The AES Corporation” or “the Parent Company” refer only to the publicly held holding company, The AES Corporation, excluding its subsidiaries and affiliates.
The condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company include the accounts of The AES Corporation and its controlled subsidiaries. Furthermore, VIEs in which the Company has an ownership interest and is the primary beneficiary, thus controlling the VIE, have been consolidated. Intercompany transactions and balances are eliminated in consolidation. Investments in entities where the Company has the ability to exercise significant influence, but not control, are accounted for using the equity method of accounting.
Consolidated VIEs — At June 30, 2026, the Company consolidates a number of entities that have been identified as VIEs under ASC 810, Consolidation. These entities are primarily limited liability entities or partnership arrangements with third-party investors structured to develop, construct, and operate power generation facilities and related assets. These entities were generally determined to have insufficient equity to finance their activities during development and construction without additional subordinated financial support. The Company also has tax equity arrangements entered into with third parties in order to monetize certain tax credits associated with renewables facilities. These tax equity partnerships meet the definition of a VIE as the holders of the membership interests, as a group, lack the characteristics of a controlling financial interest, including substantive kickout rights. Under these arrangements, the third-party investors are allocated earnings, tax attributes, and distributable cash in accordance with the respective limited liability company agreements. The assets of these tax equity partnerships are generally restricted from transfer under the terms of their limited liability company agreements. The third-party investor’s ownership interest is recorded as either Redeemable stock of subsidiaries or Noncontrolling interests in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets based on applicable guidance. See Note 11—Redeemable Stock of Subsidiaries and Note 12—Equity for further information.
Determining whether the Company is the primary beneficiary of a VIE requires judgment, including an assessment of contractual rights, operational responsibilities, and exposure to variability in returns. AES is considered the primary beneficiary of these VIEs when it has the power to direct the activities that most significantly affect their economic performance, such as construction, budgeting, operations, and maintenance, and it has the obligation to absorb expected losses and the right to receive benefits through its variable interests. As of June 30, 2026, certain consolidated VIEs have arrangements which may require the Company to contribute additional equity totaling $3.1 billion. Such contributions are generally contingent upon the underlying asset achieving specific project milestones. Certain consolidated VIEs are financed with non-recourse project‑level debt. Creditors of these VIEs have no recourse to the Company beyond the VIE’s assets. See Note 8—Obligations for further information.
Unconsolidated VIEs — The Company has noncontrolling interests in VIEs accounted for under the equity method. These entities include partnerships in which the limited partners do not have substantive rights over the significant activities of these entities, as well as renewable energy project joint ventures that have insufficient equity to finance their activities during development and construction without additional subordinated financial support. AES is not the primary beneficiary because it does not have a controlling financial interest in these entities, as it does not have the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact these VIEs' performance; therefore, AES does not consolidate any of these entities. AES’ investment in these entities totaled approximately $148 million and $127 million as of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively, which are included in Investments in and advances to affiliates on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. See Note 7—Investments In and Advances to Affiliates for further information. AES' maximum exposure to loss is limited to its current investments in these entities.
Interim Financial Presentation — The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and footnotes have been prepared in accordance with GAAP, as contained in the FASB ASC, for interim financial information and Article 10 of Regulation S-X issued by the SEC. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and footnotes required by GAAP for annual fiscal reporting periods. In the opinion of management, the interim financial information includes all adjustments of a normal recurring nature necessary for a fair presentation of the results of operations, financial position, comprehensive income, changes in equity, and cash flows. The results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 are not necessarily indicative of expected results for
11 | Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements | June 30, 2026 and 2025
the year ending December 31, 2026. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements are unaudited and should be read in conjunction with the 2025 audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto, which are included in the 2025 Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 2, 2026 (the “2025 Form 10-K”).
Proposed Merger — On March 1, 2026, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”), by and among the Company, Horizon Parent, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (“Parent”), and Horizon Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent (“Merger Sub”). Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, Merger Sub will merge with and into the Company (the “Merger”), with the Company continuing as the surviving corporation in the Merger. Parent is controlled by investment vehicles affiliated with one or more funds, accounts or other entities managed or advised by Global Infrastructure Management, LLC and the EQT Infrastructure VI fund.
At the effective time of the Merger, each share of the Company’s common stock outstanding immediately before the effective time (other than (i) shares of Company common stock held by any holder who properly exercises and perfects appraisal rights under Delaware law in respect of such shares and (ii) any shares of Company common stock held in the treasury of the Company or owned, directly or indirectly, by Parent or Merger Sub) will be converted automatically into the right to receive $15.00 in cash, without interest, per share.
The Board of Directors of the Company has unanimously approved the Merger Agreement, including the Merger and the other transactions contemplated thereby, and the Board of Directors of the Company has resolved to recommend that the Company stockholders approve the Merger and adopt the Merger Agreement.
The Merger Agreement includes certain representations, warranties, and covenants. Among other things, the Company has agreed (subject to certain exceptions) to conduct its business in the ordinary course consistent with past practice and not to take specified actions prior to closing without Parent’s consent. The Company is also required to hold a special meeting of its stockholders to seek approval of the Merger and, subject to certain exceptions, it has agreed not to solicit or engage in discussions or negotiations regarding alternative business combination proposals and not to withdraw or modify the Board’s recommendation in favor of the Merger.
In addition, subject to the terms of the Merger Agreement, the Company, Parent, and Merger Sub are required to use reasonable best efforts to obtain all required regulatory approvals, including certain regulatory approvals from the PUCO, the New York Public Service Commission, the FERC, and the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States, and the expiration or termination of the applicable waiting period under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended (the “HSR Act”), as well as the receipt of certain approvals under the applicable laws of certain foreign countries, so long as such approval does not result in a Burdensome Condition (as defined in the Merger Agreement).
Consummation of the Merger is subject to various closing conditions, including: (1) approval of the stockholders of the Company, (2) receipt of the specified regulatory approvals without the imposition of a Burdensome Condition, (3) absence of any law or order prohibiting the consummation of the Merger, (4) subject to materiality qualifiers, the accuracy of each party’s representations and warranties, (5) each party’s compliance in all material respects with its obligations and covenants under the Merger Agreement, and (6) the absence of a material adverse effect with respect to the Company and its subsidiaries. Approval by the stockholders of the Company was obtained on June 26, 2026. At 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on June 22, 2026, the waiting period under the HSR Act expired with respect to the Merger. The completion of the Merger is not conditioned on receipt of financing by Parent.
The Merger Agreement contains certain termination rights for both the Company and Parent, including if the Merger is not consummated by June 1, 2027 (subject to extension for an additional two successive three-month periods if all of the conditions to closing, other than the conditions related to obtaining regulatory approvals, have been satisfied). The Merger Agreement also provides for certain termination rights for each of the Company and Parent, and provides that, upon termination of the Merger Agreement under certain specified circumstances, Parent would be required to pay a termination fee of $100 million or approximately $588 million (depending on the specific circumstances of termination) to the Company, and under other specified circumstances, the Company would be required to pay Parent a termination fee of approximately $321 million.

See Note 8 —Obligations for further information.
(2)Includes approximately $40 million and $80 million of cash maintained in accordance with certain covenants of non-recourse debt agreements as of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively. See Note 8 —Obligations for further information.
Tax Credit Transferability — Historically, the Company has financed renewables projects with investments from tax equity investors who are allocated certain tax benefits associated with renewables projects (e.g., investment tax credits) through partnership agreements. The U.S Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 (the “IRA”) allows the owners of renewable energy projects to directly transfer ITCs to unrelated tax credit buyers. This provides the Company with the flexibility to obtain financing on any particular project with (i) the transfer of tax credits or (ii) investments from tax equity investors who are allocated tax benefits. The Company may also elect to retain the tax credit and use it to reduce its tax liability.
The Company accounts for tax credits that it will retain or transfer under ASC 740*—Income Taxes*, as a reduction in income tax expense by either including the expected amount of the tax credit to be claimed or the cash to be received when transferred, respectively, in the calculation of its annual effective tax rate throughout the year the renewables project is placed in service. The Company applies the flow-through method to account for its investment tax credits. The estimated tax credits are updated on a quarterly basis, with the year-end calculation including only the tax credits that are associated with projects placed in service, comprising credits claimed or transferred during the year. In assessing realizability for credits to be transferred, the Company includes cash it anticipates receiving in establishing any valuation allowance and establishes a valuation allowance equal to its best estimate of any discount on the transfer. In many cases, ITCs are generated at partnerships which are non-tax paying entities for U.S. federal income tax purposes. These entities cannot utilize tax credits, but rather allocate credits to their partners, who report their share of the partnership credits on their individual tax returns. Once a project is placed in service, any portion of the tax credit to be transferred which is allocated to a noncontrolling interest holder is recorded as a noncash deemed contribution within Noncontrolling interests or Redeemable stock of subsidiaries, as applicable, on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as this represents an increase in the partners’ capital account. To the extent any of the expected transfer proceeds are contractually obligated to be distributed to the noncontrolling interest holder, the Company records a corresponding noncash deemed distribution within Noncontrolling interests or Redeemable stock of subsidiaries, as applicable. The receipt of cash from the transfer of tax credits, inclusive of the portion allocated to noncontrolling interest holders, is treated as an operating cash inflow on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. Proceeds from the transfer of tax credits are excluded from the supplemental disclosure of Cash payments for income taxes, net of refunds.
During the six months ended June 30, 2026, the Company executed agreements for $535 million to transfer ITCs directly to a third party at a discount. Of this amount, $39 million was allocated to AES and will be recognized ratably as an income tax benefit throughout the year and $496 million was allocated to noncontrolling interests and treated as a contribution from noncontrolling interest holders. The Company received cash proceeds from these tax credit transfers of $466 million during the six months ended June 30, 2026 and recorded a receivable of $69 million in Other current assets and a corresponding payable in Accrued and other liabilities on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as of June 30, 2026, since the Company is contractually obligated to distribute the amount to the noncontrolling interest holders. In addition, during the six months ended June 30, 2026, we received and distributed cash proceeds of $448 million to noncontrolling interest holders related to a tax credit transfer agreement executed in 2025.
During the six months ended June 30, 2025, the Company executed agreements to transfer ITCs directly to third parties for $354 million. Of this amount, $142 million was allocated to AES and recognized ratably as an income tax benefit throughout the year and $212 million was allocated to noncontrolling interests and treated as a contribution from noncontrolling interest holders. The Company received cash proceeds from these tax credit transfers of $309 million during the six months ended June 30, 2025 and received the remaining $45 million in
13 | Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements | June 30, 2026 and 2025
September 2025. In addition, during the six months ended June 30, 2025, the Company received cash proceeds of $75 million related to a tax credit transfer agreement executed in 2024.

| 2024-03: Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40) | The amendments in this Update require disclosure, in the notes to financial statements, of specified information about certain costs and expenses. The amendments require that at each interim and annual reporting period an entity: 1. Disclose the amounts of (a) purchases of inventory, (b) employee compensation, (c) depreciation, (d) intangible asset amortization, and (e) depreciation, depletion, and amortization recognized as part of oil- and gas-producing activities (DD&A) (or other amounts of depletion expense) included in each relevant expense caption. A relevant expense caption is an expense caption presented on the face of the income statement within continuing operations that contains any of the expense categories listed in (a)–(e). 2. Include certain amounts that are already required to be disclosed under current generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) in the same disclosure as the other disaggregation requirements. 3. Disclose a qualitative description of the amounts remaining in relevant expense captions that are not separately disaggregated quantitatively. 4. Disclose the total amount of selling expenses and, in annual reporting periods, an entity’s definition of selling expenses. | The date for each amendment in this Update is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027.

| 2025-06: Intangibles—Goodwill and Other—Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Internal-Use Software | The amendments in this Update remove all references to prescriptive and sequential software development stages (referred to as “project stages”) throughout Subtopic 350-40. Therefore, an entity is required to start capitalizing software costs when both of the following occur: 1. Management has authorized and committed to funding the software project. 2. It is probable that the project will be completed and the software will be used to perform the function intended. In evaluating the probable-to-complete recognition threshold, an entity is required to consider whether there is significant uncertainty associated with the development activities of the software. The two factors to consider in determining whether there is significant development uncertainty are whether: 1. The software being developed has technological innovations or novel, unique, or unproven functions or features, and the uncertainty related to those technological innovations, functions, or features, if identified, has not been resolved through coding and testing. 2. The entity has determined what it needs the software to do (for example, functions or features), including whether the entity has identified or continues to substantially revise the software’s significant performance requirements. | The amendments in this Update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027, and interim reporting periods within those annual reporting periods. Early adoption is permitted as of the beginning of an annual reporting period. | The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting the standard on its consolidated financial statements. |

- FAIR VALUE
The fair value of current financial assets and liabilities, debt service reserves, and other deposits approximate their reported carrying amounts. The estimated fair values of the Company’s assets and liabilities have been determined using available market information. Because these amounts are estimates and based on hypothetical transactions to sell assets or transfer liabilities, the use of different market assumptions and/or estimation methodologies may have a material effect on the estimated fair value amounts. For further information on our valuation techniques and policies, see Note 5—Fair Value in Item 8.—Financial Statements and Supplementary Data of our 2025 Form 10-K.
Recurring Measurements
The following table presents, by level within the fair value hierarchy, the Company’s financial assets and liabilities that were measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of the dates indicated (in millions). For the Company’s investments in marketable debt securities, the security classes presented were determined based on the nature and risk of the security and are consistent with how the Company manages, monitors, and measures its marketable securities:

As of June 30, 2026, all available-for-sale debt securities had stated maturities within one year. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, no impairments of marketable securities were recognized in earnings or other comprehensive income (loss). Credit-related impairments are recognized as an allowance with a corresponding impact recognized as a credit loss in Other expense. Gains and losses on sale of investments are determined using the specific-identification method.

The Company accounts for equity securities without readily determinable fair values using the measurement alternative in accordance with ASC 321*.* These securities are measured at cost minus impairment, if any, plus or minus changes resulting from observable price changes in orderly transactions for the identical or similar investments of the same issuer. Upward adjustments resulting from observable price changes are recorded in Other income and impairments and downward adjustments are recorded in Other expense. As of both December 31, 2025 and June 30, 2026, the carrying amount of equity securities accounted for using the measurement alternative was $19 million, inclusive of $22 million of cumulative upward adjustments recorded in Other income in prior years and a $48 million downward adjustment recorded in Other expense in June 2025 to reflect observable price changes for our investment in 5B Holdings Ptd. Ltd. ("5B").
The following tables present a reconciliation of assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025 (derivative balances are presented net), in millions. Transfers between Level 3 and Level 2 principally result from changes in the significance of unobservable inputs used to calculate the credit valuation adjustment.

18 | Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements | June 30, 2026 and 2025
The following table summarizes the significant unobservable inputs used for Level 3 derivative assets (liabilities) as of June 30, 2026 (in millions, except range amounts):
| Type of Derivative | Fair Value | Unobservable Input | Amount or Range (Average) | ||||||||||||||||||||
| Commodity: | |||||||||||||||||||||||
| CAISO energy swap | $ | (28) | Forward CAISO energy prices per MWH from 2032 through 2038 | $4.21 to $132.82 ($51.18) | |||||||||||||||||||
| MISO energy swap | (3) | Forward MISO energy prices per MWH from 2032 through 2040 | $23.54 to $95.62 ($48.42) | ||||||||||||||||||||
| Other | 6 | ||||||||||||||||||||||
| Total | $ | (25) |
For the CAISO and MISO energy swaps, increases (decreases) in the estimates above would decrease (increase) the value of the derivatives.
Contingent consideration is primarily related to future milestone payments associated with acquisitions of renewables development projects. The estimated fair value of contingent consideration is determined using probability-weighted discounted cash flows based on internal forecasts, which are considered Level 3 inputs. Changes in Level 3 inputs, particularly changes in the probability of achieving development milestones, could result in material changes to the fair value of the contingent consideration and could materially impact the amount of expense or income recorded each reporting period. Contingent consideration is updated quarterly with any prospective changes in fair value recorded through earnings. Gains and losses on the remeasurement of contingent consideration are recognized in Other income and Other expense, respectively, on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.
Nonrecurring Measurements
The Company measures fair value using the applicable fair value measurement guidance. Impairment expense, shown as pre-tax loss below, is measured by comparing the fair value at the evaluation date to the then-latest available carrying amount and is included in Asset impairment expense on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. The following table summarizes our major categories of asset groups measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis and their level within the fair value hierarchy (in millions):
| Measurement Date | Carrying Amount (1) | Fair Value | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Six Months Ended June 30, 2025 | Level 1 | Level 2 | Level 3 | Pre-tax Loss | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Held-for-sale businesses: (2) | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Mong Duong (3) | 3/31/2025 | 383 | — | 371 | — | 17 | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(1)Represents the carrying values of the asset groups at the dates of measurement, before fair value adjustment.
(2)See Note 18—Held-for-Sale and Dispositions for further information.
(3)The pre-tax loss recognized was calculated using the fair value of the Mong Duong disposal group less costs to sell of $5 million.
AES Clean Energy Development Projects — On a quarterly basis, the Company reviews the status of development projects to identify projects that are no longer viable and will be abandoned. The fair value of each abandoned project with no salvage value is determined to be zero as there are no future projected cash flows, resulting in a full write-off of the carrying value of project development intangibles and capitalized development costs incurred.
The Company recognized $38 million and $117 million of pre-tax asset impairment expense related to AES Clean Energy Development Projects during the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively. See Note 16—Asset Impairment Expense for further information.
Mong Duong — In November 2023, the Company entered into an agreement to sell its entire 51% ownership interest in Mong Duong 2, a coal-fired plant in Vietnam, and 51% equity interest in Mong Duong Finance Holdings B.V., an SPV accounted for as an equity affiliate (collectively "Mong Duong"). As of May 31, 2025, due to delays in closing the transaction and the pending expiration of the agreement in November 2025, the Company determined Mong Duong no longer met the held-for-sale criteria and the asset group was reclassified as held and used.
During the six months ended June 30, 2025, the Company recognized a $243 million increase in the carrying value of the Mong Duong asset group due to the derecognition of a $239 million valuation allowance on the loan receivable accounted for under ASC 310, which had been recognized in Asset impairment expense between December 31, 2023 and March 31, 2025 while Mong Duong was classified as held-for-sale, and the elimination of $4 million in net estimated costs to sell from the measurement of the asset group. Upon reclassification out of held-for-sale, the loan receivable was remeasured at amortized cost and individual non-loan assets were remeasured at the lower of (i) carrying value before Mong Duong was classified as held for sale, adjusted for any depreciation
19 | Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements | June 30, 2026 and 2025
expense or impairment losses that would have been recognized had the asset been continuously classified as held and used, or (ii) fair value at the date of the subsequent determination that held-for-sale criteria was no longer met. See Note 16—Asset Impairment Expense for further information.

The plant was constructed under a BOT contract and sold to the Vietnamese government, while we remain the operator for the duration of the 25-year PPA. Mong Duong was reclassified from held-for-sale to held and used as of May 31, 2025 and therefore $96 million was classified in Other current assets, and $710 million in Loan receivable on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of June 30, 2026. See Note 14—Revenue and Note 18—Held-for-Sale and Dispositions for further information.

Following the implementation of customer billing system upgrades at our utilities in 2023 and 2024, a temporary pause in customer disconnections, certain collections efforts, and write-off processes contributed to increased provisions and allowance for credit losses throughout 2025. AES Indiana and AES Ohio reinstituted customer disconnections and write-off processes in March and June 2025, respectively. The resumption of these activities resulted in increased write-offs.
- INVESTMENTS IN AND ADVANCES TO AFFILIATES
Summarized Financial Information — The following table summarizes financial information of the Company’s 50%-or-less-owned affiliates and majority-owned unconsolidated subsidiaries that are accounted for using the equity method (in millions):

(1)The summarized financial information of Uplight is not included in the table above for the six months ended June 30, 2026 as the equity method of accounting was suspended during the fourth quarter of 2025.
Fluence — In May 2026, the Company redeemed 10,066,414 common units of Fluence Energy, LLC. Fluence Energy, Inc. settled this redemption through the issuance of an equivalent number of shares of its Class A common stock. In conjunction with this redemption, the Company executed a public sale of the Class A shares, resulting in net proceeds of $207 million after expenses, and a pre-tax gain on sale of $186 million, recorded in Gain on disposal and sale of business interests. As a result of this transaction, AES' ownership interest decreased from 28% to 22%. As the Company still does not control but has significant influence over Fluence after the transaction, it continues to be accounted for as an equity method investment. Fluence is reported in the New Energy Technologies SBU reportable segment.
JK Projects — In May 2026, the Company completed the contribution of two of the Jemeiwaa Ka’I wind projects (“JK Projects”), JK1 and JK2, to a trust, receiving proceeds of $25 million. After closing the transaction, the Company retained 51% ownership in the trust, which is accounted for as an equity method investment. The Company recorded its retained interest in the trust at fair value of $27 million. See Note 18—Held-for-Sale and Dispositions for further information. The JK Projects are reported in the Renewables SBU reportable segment.
22 | Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements | June 30, 2026 and 2025
El Salvador — In April 2026, the Company acquired the remaining 50% ownership interests in Bosforo and Cuscatlan for a total of $44 million. The transactions were accounted for as asset acquisitions as the projects did not meet the definition of a business. Prior to the transactions, the Company’s investments in Bosforo and Cuscatlan were accounted for under the equity method; however, as a result of the transactions, both are now consolidated by AES. Bosforo and Cuscatlan are reported in the Utilities SBU reportable segment.
Uplight — In March 2026, the Company entered into an agreement to sell its 25% ownership interest and convertible note in Uplight for up to $40 million, including $10 million at closing and up to an additional $30 million contingent upon specified events. The transaction is expected to close in the second half of 2026. Uplight is reported in the New Energy Technologies SBU reportable segment.
Alto Maipo — The Company holds a 99% ownership interest in Alto Maipo SpA (“Alto Maipo”), a hydroelectric plant in Chile. In May 2022, Alto Maipo emerged from bankruptcy in accordance with Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code. Alto Maipo, as restructured, is considered a VIE. As the Company lacks the power to make significant decisions, it does not meet the criteria to be considered the primary beneficiary of Alto Maipo and therefore does not consolidate the entity. The Company has elected the fair value option to account for its investment in Alto Maipo as management believes this approach will better reflect the economics of its equity interest. As of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the fair value is insignificant. Alto Maipo is reported in the Renewables SBU reportable segment.
Barry — The Company holds a 100% ownership interest in AES Barry Ltd. ("Barry"), a dormant entity in the U.K. that disposed of its generation and other operating assets. Due to a debt agreement, no material financial or operating decisions can be made without the banks' consent, and the Company does not control Barry. As of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, other long-term liabilities included $43 million and $44 million, respectively, related to this debt agreement. Barry is reported in the Energy Infrastructure SBU reportable segment.
Dominican Republic Renewables — In June 2025, the Company completed the sale of 50% of its interests in AES DR Renewables Holdings, S.L. and its subsidiaries (collectively “Dominican Republic Renewables”) for $103 million and received cash proceeds for the sale of $100 million in July 2025. The Company retained a 50% ownership interest in Dominican Republic Renewables after the sale. However, the Company’s ownership in Dominican Republic Renewables is held through AES Hispanola Holdings II BV, a 65%-owned consolidated subsidiary, resulting in an AES effective ownership of 33%. The business was deconsolidated and accounted for as an equity method investment. The Company recorded its retained interest in Dominican Republic Renewables at fair value of $103 million, using the market approach. See Note 18—Held-for-Sale and Dispositions for further information. Dominican Republic Renewables is reported in the Renewables SBU reportable segment.
- OBLIGATIONS
Recourse Debt — Recourse debt represents debt that the Parent Company has an obligation to settle. This can be debt issued directly by the Parent Company or debt issued by a subsidiary under which the Parent Company has explicit commitments such as guarantees, indemnities, letters of credit, or agreements to settle if the subsidiary defaults.
Senior Notes due 2029 and 2033 — In June 2026, the Company issued $600 million aggregate principal of 5.20% senior notes due in 2029 and $400 million aggregate principal of 5.75% senior notes due in 2033. The Company used the net proceeds from this offering to repay existing indebtedness, including its senior unsecured term loan of $500 million due in December 2026, and for general corporate purposes.
Senior Notes due 2028 and 2032 — In March 2026, the Company entered into supplemental indentures with respect to its Senior Notes due 2028 and its Senior Notes due 2032 (together, the “Notes”). The supplemental indentures amend the indentures governing each series to provide that the Merger will not constitute a “Change of Control” under those indentures. The amendments will become operative only upon the consummation of the Merger and the payment of the consent fee with respect to each series of the Notes.
Senior Unsecured Term Loan due December 2026 — In October 2025, the Company executed a $300 million senior unsecured term loan agreement, maturing in December 2026. In March 2026, the Company and the lender executed an amendment providing lender consent to the consummation of the Merger. As of June 30, 2026, AES had $300 million in outstanding drawings under the loan agreement.
Senior Unsecured Term Loan due December 2026 — In June 2025, the Company executed a $500 million senior unsecured term loan agreement, maturing in June 2026. In November 2025, the Company executed an amendment extending the maturity date of the loan agreement to December 2026. In March 2026, the Company
23 | Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements | June 30, 2026 and 2025
and the lender executed an amendment providing lender consent to the consummation of the Merger. In June 2026, AES used the net proceeds of its senior notes issuance to fully repay this term loan.
Senior Notes due 2032 — In March 2025, the Company issued $800 million aggregate principal of 5.80% senior notes due in 2032. The Company used the proceeds from this issuance to purchase via tender offer a portion of its 3.30% senior notes due in 2025. As a result of the latter transaction, the Company recognized a gain on extinguishment of debt of $2 million.
Commercial Paper Program — In March 2023, the Company established a commercial paper program under which the Company may issue unsecured commercial paper notes (the “Notes”) up to a maximum aggregate face amount of $750 million outstanding at any time. In April 2025, the Company executed agreements to increase the maximum aggregate face amount to $1.5 billion outstanding at any time. The maturities of the Notes may vary but will not exceed 397 days from the date of issuance. The proceeds of the Notes will be used for general corporate purposes. The Notes will be sold on customary terms in the U.S. commercial paper market on a private placement basis. The commercial paper program is backed by the Company's $1.8 billion in revolving credit facilities, and the Company cannot issue commercial paper in an aggregate amount exceeding the then available capacity under its revolving credit facilities. During the six months ended June 30, 2026, the Company borrowed approximately $32.1 billion and repaid approximately $32.1 billion under the commercial paper program, with average daily outstanding borrowings of $891 million. As of June 30, 2026, the Company had no outstanding borrowings under the commercial paper program.
Revolving Credit Facilities — In December 2024, AES executed a $300 million senior unsecured revolving credit facility, maturing in December 2026. The aggregate commitment under its previously existing revolving credit facility is $1.5 billion and matures in August 2027. In March 2026, the Company executed amendments to each facility. Collectively, these amendments modify certain change of control provisions to permit direct or indirect ownership of the Company by Global Infrastructure Management, LLC, EQT Fund Management S.à r.l., Qatar Investment Authority, and certain investment vehicles affiliated with any of the foregoing or with funds, accounts, or other entities managed, advised, or controlled by any of the foregoing. As of June 30, 2026, AES had no outstanding borrowings under either of its revolving credit facilities.
Non-Recourse Debt — Non-recourse debt represents debt issued by one of our subsidiaries and is only required to be repaid solely from the subsidiary's assets. Repayments of the loans, and interest thereon, are secured solely by the capital stock, physical assets, contracts, and cash flows of one of our subsidiaries, and the Parent Company is not otherwise liable for such debt. Non-recourse debt balances on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet includes $2 billion of current and $11.7 billion of noncurrent non-recourse debt related to VIEs as of June 30, 2026.
During the six months ended June 30, 2026, the Company’s following subsidiaries had significant debt issuances (in millions):
| Subsidiary | Issuances (1) | |||||||
| AES Clean Energy | $ | 689 | ||||||
| AES Pacifico Chile | 407 |
(1) These amounts do not include revolving credit facility activity at the Company’s subsidiaries.
AES Pacifico Chile — During the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, several renewables development projects owned by AES Pacifico Chile executed project financing agreements with aggregate commitments of up to $1.7 billion to support the development and construction of wind and solar plants. As of June 30, 2026, there were $1.3 billion in borrowings under the agreements, maturing in 2029 and 2030.
Marahu — The Marahu project is currently constructing the Salinas and Jobos renewables projects in Puerto Rico, including both solar and energy storage facilities. In July 2025, the Marahu project executed a tax credit transfer bridge loan agreement for total commitments of $230 million, at interest rates of SOFR plus a margin of 1.25% to 2.25%, maturing in April 2027. As of June 30, 2026, there was $212 million in borrowings under the agreement.
In October 2024, the Marahu project obtained a loan guarantee for $861 million from the U.S. Department of Energy and began drawing on the loan in the first quarter of 2025. As of June 30, 2026, there was $877 million, inclusive of paid-in-kind interest, in outstanding borrowings, maturing in 2049.
24 | Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements | June 30, 2026 and 2025
AES Andes — In March 2025, AES Andes issued $400 million aggregate principal of 6.25% senior notes due in 2032. The net proceeds from the issuance were used to redeem the remaining $228 million aggregate principal of its 6.35% junior subordinated notes due in 2079 and to repay other existing indebtedness. As a result of the latter transaction, the Company recognized a loss on extinguishment of debt of $3 million.
AES Clean Energy — In May 2026, Four Horizons Seller, LLC and Four Horizons FinCo, LLC, subsidiaries of AES Clean Energy Development, executed a construction, tax equity bridge, and letter of credit financing agreement for commitments of up to $2.2 billion. As of June 30, 2026, there were $513 million in borrowings maturing in 2029.
In December 2024, Bellefield 2 Seller, LLC executed a construction, tax equity bridge, and letter of credit financing agreement for commitments of up to $1.7 billion. As of June 30, 2026, there were $1.4 billion in borrowings maturing in 2026 and 2027.
AES Clean Energy Development, AES Renewable Holdings, and sPower, an equity method investment, collectively referred to as the Issuers, entered into a Master Indenture agreement in 2022 whereby long-term notes will be issued from time to time to finance or refinance operating wind, solar, and energy storage projects that are owned by the Issuers. Each of the Issuers is considered a “Co-Issuer” and will be jointly and severally liable with each other Co-Issuer for all obligations under the facility. As of June 30, 2026, the aggregate principal outstanding for the Co-Issuers was $3.3 billion. As a result of repayment of notes in 2026, AES Clean Energy Development and AES Renewable Holdings recorded, in aggregate, a decrease in liabilities of $34 million, resulting in an aggregate carrying amount of notes at consolidated subsidiaries of $2.5 billion as of June 30, 2026.
AES Clean Energy Development, AES Renewable Holdings, and sPower, collectively referred to as the Borrowers, executed two Credit Agreements for revolving credit facilities in 2021 and subsequent amendments in the following years for aggregate commitments of up to $4 billion with maturity dates in May and June 2028. Each of the Borrowers is considered a “Co-Borrower” and will be jointly and severally liable with each other Co-Borrower for all obligations under the facilities. As a result of increases in commitments used and net of repayments, AES Clean Energy Development and AES Renewable Holdings recorded, in aggregate, an increase in liabilities of $841 million in 2026, resulting in total commitments used under the revolving credit facilities, as of June 30, 2026, of $2.5 billion at consolidated subsidiaries. As of June 30, 2026, the aggregate commitments used under the revolving credit facilities for the Co-Borrowers was $2.6 billion.
AES Puerto Rico — On June 1, 2023, AES Puerto Rico was unable to pay principal and interest obligations on its Series A Bond Loans due to insufficient funds resulting from financial difficulties at the business. AES Puerto Rico signed forbearance and standstill agreements with its noteholders in July 2023 because of the insufficiency of funds to meet these obligations. On March 5, 2024, AES Puerto Rico and its noteholders executed a financial restructuring, under which the $156 million (including interest) of 6.625% Series A Bond Loans due 2026 was exchanged for $112 million of 6.625% senior secured bonds due January 2028 and $44 million of preferred shares in AES Puerto Rico. The preferred shares bear interest at 3.125% and contain an option whereby AES may call the preferred shares to be converted into 99.9% of the ordinary shares of AES Puerto Rico between December 30, 2025 and December 30, 2027, or would have the option to settle the preferred shares in cash. AES Puerto Rico is required to make mandatory prepayments through cash sweeps based on excess cash (as defined in the loan agreements) available from operations on the senior secured bonds and preferred shares interest. The financial restructuring was accounted for as a troubled debt restructuring in accordance with ASC 470-60, “Troubled Debt Restructurings by Debtors” as AES Puerto Rico was experiencing financial difficulties and the lenders granted a concession. No gain was recognized as a result of this transaction. As of June 30, 2026, cash settlement of the preferred shares is contingent, as the amounts would not be required to be settled in cash if the option to settle the preferred shares with common shares is exercised.
Non-Recourse Debt Covenants, Restrictions, and Defaults — The terms of the Company's non-recourse debt include certain financial and nonfinancial covenants. These covenants are limited to subsidiary activity and vary among the subsidiaries. These covenants may include, but are not limited to, maintenance of certain reserves and financial ratios, minimum levels of working capital, and limitations on incurring additional indebtedness.
As of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, approximately $370 million and $531 million, respectively, of restricted cash was maintained in accordance with certain covenants of the non-recourse debt agreements. Of these amounts, $330 million and $451 million, respectively, were included within Restricted cash and $40 million and $80 million, respectively, were included within Debt service reserves and other deposits in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. As of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, approximately $159 million and $153 million, respectively, of the restricted cash balances were for collateral held to cover potential liability for
25 | Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements | June 30, 2026 and 2025
current and future insurance claims being assumed by AGIC, AES' captive insurance company. Of total restricted cash and debt service reserves of $583 million, $260 million related to VIEs as of June 30, 2026.
Various lender and governmental provisions restrict the ability of certain of the Company's subsidiaries to transfer their net assets to the Parent Company. Such restricted net assets of subsidiaries amounted to approximately $2 billion at June 30, 2026.
The following table summarizes the Company’s subsidiary non-recourse debt in default (in millions) as of June 30, 2026. Due to the defaults, these amounts are included in the current portion of non-recourse debt unless otherwise indicated:
| Subsidiary | Primary Nature of Default | Debt in Default | Net Assets | |||||||||||||||||
| AES Ilumina (Puerto Rico) | Covenant | $ | 19 | $ | 33 | |||||||||||||||
| Mount Olive Solar (AES Clean Energy Development) (1) | Covenant | — | 1 | |||||||||||||||||
| Total | $ | 19 |
(1) Debt in default at Mount Olive Solar is less than $1 million.
The above defaults are not payment defaults, but are instead technical defaults triggered by failure to comply with covenants or other requirements contained in the non-recourse debt documents of the applicable subsidiary.
The AES Corporation’s recourse debt agreements include cross-default clauses that will trigger if a subsidiary provides 20% or more of the Parent Company’s total cash distributions from businesses for the four most recently completed fiscal quarters and has an outstanding principal in excess of $200 million in default. As of June 30, 2026, the Company’s subsidiaries had no defaults which resulted in a cross-default under the recourse debt of the Parent Company. In the event the Parent Company is not in compliance with the financial covenants of its revolving credit facility, restricted payments will be limited to regular quarterly shareholder dividends at the then-prevailing rate. Payment defaults and bankruptcy defaults would preclude the making of any restricted payments.
Supplier Financing Arrangements — With some purchases, the Company enters into supplier financing arrangements with the goal of securing improved payment terms. The Company confirms supplier invoices to an intermediary financial institution who will pay the supplier directly or reimburse the Company for payments made to the supplier. These arrangements are included in Supplier financing arrangements on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets in Current liabilities as the amounts are all due in less than a year; the related interest expense is recorded on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations within Interest expense.
The Company had total outstanding balances of $826 million as of June 30, 2026. These agreements ranged from less than $1 million to $63 million with a weighted average interest rate of 6.37%. Of the amounts outstanding under supplier financing arrangements as of June 30, 2026, $684 million were guaranteed, including $103 million guaranteed by the Parent Company and $581 million guaranteed by subsidiaries.
The Company had total outstanding balances of $616 million as of December 31, 2025. These agreements ranged from less than $1 million to $51 million with a weighted average interest rate of 6.72%. Of the amounts outstanding under supplier financing arrangements as of December 31, 2025, $391 million were guaranteed, including $204 million guaranteed by the Parent Company and $187 million guaranteed by subsidiaries.
- COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Guarantees, Letters of Credit, and Surety Bonds — In connection with certain project financings (including tax equity transactions), acquisitions and dispositions, power purchases, EPC contracts, tax credit transfers, and other agreements, the Parent Company and its subsidiaries have expressly undertaken limited obligations and commitments, most of which will only be effective or will be terminated upon the occurrence of future events. In the normal course of business, the Parent Company and its subsidiaries have entered into various agreements, mainly guarantees and letters of credit, to provide financial or performance assurance to third parties on behalf of AES businesses. It is unlikely that the Parent Company or its subsidiaries would be required to perform or otherwise incur any material losses associated with guarantees of subsidiaries' or affiliates' obligations. These agreements are entered into primarily to support or enhance the creditworthiness otherwise achieved by a business on a stand-alone basis, thereby facilitating the availability of sufficient credit to accomplish their intended business purposes. Most of the contingent obligations relate to future performance commitments which the Company expects to fulfill within the normal course of business. Our tax equity and tax credit transfer guarantees typically consist of standard indemnifications of tax equity partners or tax credit purchasers in the event that an adverse determination arises due to a recapture event, tax controversy, or any breach by the AES project company of the representations in the
26 | Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements | June 30, 2026 and 2025
shared equity agreement. The expiration dates of these guarantees vary from less than 1 year to no more than 25 years.
The following table summarizes the Parent Company’s consolidated contingent contractual obligations as of June 30, 2026. Amounts presented in the following table represent the Parent Company’s current undiscounted exposure to guarantees and the range of maximum undiscounted potential exposure per individual agreement. The maximum exposure is not reduced by the amounts, if any, that could be recovered under the recourse or collateralization provisions in the guarantees.

The following table summarizes our subsidiaries’ consolidated contingent contractual obligations as of June 30, 2026. These contingent contractual obligations are issued at the subsidiary level and are non-recourse to the Parent Company. Amounts presented in the following table represent our subsidiaries' current undiscounted exposure to guarantees and the range of maximum undiscounted potential exposure per individual agreement. The maximum exposure is not reduced by the amounts, if any, that could be recovered under the recourse or collateralization provisions in the guarantees.

Contingencies
Environmental — The Company periodically reviews its obligations as they relate to compliance with environmental laws, including site restoration and remediation. As of both June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the Company recognized liabilities of $1 million for projected environmental remediation costs. These amounts are reported on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets within Accrued and other liabilities and Other noncurrent liabilities. Due to the uncertainties associated with environmental assessment and remediation activities, future costs of compliance or remediation could be higher or lower than the amount currently accrued. Moreover, where no liability has been recognized, it is reasonably possible that the Company may be required to incur remediation costs or make expenditures in amounts that could be material but could not be estimated as of June 30, 2026. Unasserted claims are not included in the range of potential losses related to environmental matters until it is probable that a claim will be asserted and there is a reasonable possibility that the outcome will be unfavorable. In aggregate, the Company estimates the range of potential losses related to environmental matters, where estimable, to be between $1 million and $5 million. The amounts considered reasonably possible do not include the amounts accrued, as discussed above.
Litigation — The Company is involved in certain claims, suits, and legal proceedings in the normal course of business. The Company accrues for litigation and claims when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of loss can be reasonably estimated. The Company has recognized aggregate liabilities for all claims of approximately $16 million and $22 million as of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively. These amounts are reported on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets within Accrued and other liabilities and Other noncurrent liabilities. A significant portion of these accrued liabilities relate to regulatory matters and commercial disputes in international jurisdictions. There can be no assurance that these accrued liabilities will be adequate to cover all existing and future claims or that we will have the liquidity to pay such claims as they arise.
Where no accrued liability has been recognized, it is reasonably possible that some matters could be decided unfavorably to the Company and could require the Company to pay damages or make expenditures in amounts that could be material but could not be estimated as of June 30, 2026. The material contingencies where a loss is reasonably possible primarily include disputes with offtakers, suppliers and EPC contractors; alleged breaches of contract; alleged violation of laws and regulations; income tax and non-income tax matters with tax authorities
27 | Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements | June 30, 2026 and 2025
(including but not limited to tax disputes in Brazil and El Salvador); and regulatory matters. In aggregate, the Company estimates the range of potential losses, where estimable, related to these reasonably possible material contingencies to be between $96 million and $170 million. Included in this range is a reasonably possible legal contingency for environmental remediation costs related to Sul, a business the Company disposed of in 2016, estimated to be approximately R$15 million to R$60 million ($3 million to $12 million). The amounts considered reasonably possible do not include the amounts accrued, as discussed above. These material contingencies do not include income tax-related contingencies which are considered part of our uncertain tax positions.
- LEASES
LESSOR — The Company has operating leases for certain generation contracts that contain provisions to provide capacity to a customer, which is a stand-ready obligation to deliver energy when required by the customer. Capacity obligations are generally considered lease elements as they cover the majority of available output from a facility. The allocation of contract payments between the lease and non-lease elements is made at the inception of the lease. Lease receipts from such contracts are recognized as lease revenue on a straight-line basis over the lease term, whereas variable lease receipts are recognized when earned.
The following table presents lease revenue from operating leases in which the Company is the lessor, recognized in Revenue on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations for the periods indicated (in millions):

| Net assets | $ | 1,648 | $ | 1,692 |
The option to extend or terminate a lease is based on customary early termination provisions in the contract, such as payment defaults, bankruptcy, or lack of performance on energy delivery. The Company has not recognized any early terminations as of June 30, 2026. Certain leases may provide for variable lease payments based on usage or index-based (e.g., the U.S. Consumer Price Index) adjustments to lease payments.

Battery Storage Lease Arrangements — The Company constructs and operates projects consisting only of a stand-alone BESS facility, as well as projects that pair a BESS with solar energy systems. These projects allow more flexibility on when to provide energy to the grid. The Company enters into PPAs for the full output of the facility which allow customers the ability to determine when to charge and discharge the BESS. Generally, these arrangements include both lease and non-lease elements under ASC 842, with the BESS component typically constituting a sales-type lease. Losses recognized on the commencement of sales-type leases primarily relate to the exclusion of the value of ITCs from the fair value of the renewable asset, which is used in the determination of the rate implicit in the lease. This results in a higher discount rate, which reduces the lease receivable to an amount below the carrying value of the associated lease asset, resulting in a pre-tax loss on commencement.

- REDEEMABLE STOCK OF SUBSIDIARIES
Noncontrolling interests with redemption features that are not solely within the control of the issuer are classified as temporary equity and are included in Redeemable stock of subsidiaries on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Generally, these instruments are initially measured at fair value and are subsequently adjusted for income and dividends allocated to the noncontrolling interest. Subsequent measurement varies depending on whether the instrument is probable of becoming redeemable. For those securities that are currently redeemable or where it is probable that the instrument will become redeemable, any changes from the carrying value to redemption value are recognized in temporary equity against Retained earnings or Additional paid-in capital in the absence of retained earnings. When the instrument is not probable of becoming redeemable, no adjustment to the carrying value is recognized.
The following table is a reconciliation of changes in redeemable stock of subsidiaries for the periods indicated (in millions):

Desarrollos Renovables — In March 2026, AES Pacifico and Global Infrastructure Management, LLC (“GIP”) executed an extension of the renewables partnership originally established in the third quarter of 2025. Under the extension, AES Pacifico contributed the Cristales, Pampas, and Atacama Solar renewables projects to Desarrollos Renovables, and GIP contributed an additional $112 million to maintain its 49% ownership interest, resulting in an increase to Redeemable stock of subsidiaries. AES Pacifico retained a 51% ownership interest in Desarrollos Renovables. The agreement contains certain redemption features that expire upon certain agreed-upon project milestones being achieved. While not currently in effect, the redemption features are not solely in AES’ control. As a result, the noncontrolling ownership interest is considered temporary equity. The Company has concluded it is probable that these projects will reach the specified milestones. Therefore, the noncontrolling ownership interests are not probable of becoming redeemable and subsequent adjustments to the carrying value were not required. Desarrollos Renovables is reported in the Renewables SBU reportable segment.
29 | Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements | June 30, 2026 and 2025
AES Clean Energy Tax Equity Partnerships — The majority of solar projects in the U.S. have been financed with tax equity structures, in which tax equity investors receive a portion of the economic attributes of the facilities, including tax attributes, which vary over the life of the projects. The substance of such arrangements is that of a preferred structure, whereby tax equity investors are granted preferential returns in the form of significant earnings and tax allocations from the partnership, until a specified internal rate of return is achieved.
In some cases, these agreements contain certain partnership rights, though not currently in effect, which may enable the tax equity investor to exit in the future. As a result, the noncontrolling ownership interest is considered temporary equity. Some of these tax equity partnership agreements have redemption features dependent upon the passage of time, therefore the noncontrolling ownership interests are probable of becoming redeemable. As of June 30, 2026, the carrying values of these noncontrolling ownership interests exceeded the redemption values, therefore no adjustments to the carrying values were necessary. Certain other tax equity partnership agreements have redemption features that expire upon certain agreed-upon project milestones being achieved. The Company has concluded it is probable that these projects will reach the specified milestones, therefore the noncontrolling ownership interests are not probable of becoming redeemable and subsequent adjustments to the carrying value were not required.
During the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, AES Clean Energy, through multiple transactions, sold noncontrolling interests in project companies to tax equity investors, resulting in increases to Redeemable stock of subsidiaries of $194 million and $149 million, respectively, net of transaction costs.
During the six months ended June 30, 2025, certain renewables development projects with redemption features were placed in service, resulting in the expiration of the redemption features. As a result, noncontrolling ownership interests of $18 million were reclassified from Redeemable stock of subsidiaries to Noncontrolling interests on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. AES Clean Energy is reported in the Renewables SBU reportable segment.
AES Global Insurance — On April 30, 2025, the Company sold minority interests in AES Global Insurance Company, LLC (“AGIC”), AES’ captive insurance company, and AGIC Holdings, LLC (together with AGIC, the “AGIC Companies”) in exchange for $450 million in total proceeds for Class B units representing 17.5% and 18.0%, respectively, of each entity’s total outstanding units, for a combined ownership (directly and indirectly) of AGIC’s total outstanding units of 32.4% by the Class B Member. The Company continues to own Class A units for the remaining economic interest in the AGIC Companies. The Class B units provide for target distribution amounts for the Class B Member, with a call option for AES for years 2030 through 2035 to redeem these units at pre-agreed redemption prices.
As the agreement contains certain redemption features that may require future redemption of the Class B units and are not solely in AES’ control, the noncontrolling interest is considered temporary equity. The contractual target rate of return increases the redemption price on the Class B units and the annual distributions reduce the applicable redemption price. Annual dividends are subject to regulatory and the AGIC Companies Boards’ approval. Through March 31, 2045, the AGIC Companies Boards will approve distributions to the Class B Member to the extent that there is sufficient cash generated from operations each annual period. After March 31, 2045, all dividends are discretionary if the Class B units remain outstanding. It is probable that the AGIC Companies’ performance will generate sufficient cash to require distributions to be made to the Class B Member of an amount that would redeem the instrument after the call option period. Therefore, the noncontrolling interest is probable of becoming redeemable and the carrying value of the Class B units will be adjusted to equal the redemption value each reporting period. As of June 30, 2025, the redemption value of the noncontrolling ownership interest of $456 million exceeded the carrying value; as such, an adjustment of $10 million was recorded to Redeemable stock of subsidiaries on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets to increase the carrying value to the Class B units’ redemption value. As of June 30, 2026, the redemption value of the noncontrolling ownership interest of $448 million equaled the carrying value; as such, no adjustment to the carrying value was necessary. The AGIC Companies are reported in Corporate and Other.
As part of the transaction, it is required that either (i) the AGIC Companies achieve a minimum distribution target to the Class B Member ranging from $146 million to $199 million over pre-defined periods of time ranging from three to five years (the “distribution period”) or (ii) AGIC achieves an average cash basis quarterly net income threshold for the period comprising the relevant distribution period and the four quarters immediately prior to the start of such distribution period. AES can make disproportionate distributions to the Class B Member to meet the minimum distribution target for the distribution period. If, at the end of a distribution period, (1) such cash basis net income threshold is not met and (2) the minimum distribution target for such distribution period is not achieved, AES would be required to address the shortfall by issuing AES common stock (“Shortfall Stock”) to AGIC for the net

difference between actual and targeted distributions. Distributions of cash from the sale of Shortfall Stock are subject to regulatory approval and at the discretion of AES.
AES Ohio — On April 4, 2025, DPL sold an indirect equity interest in AES Ohio of approximately 30% to Astrid Holdings LP, a wholly-owned subsidiary of CDPQ, for total proceeds of approximately $544 million, resulting in an increase to Redeemable stock of subsidiaries of $538 million, net of transaction costs. The Company also recognized an increase to additional paid-in capital and a reduction to retained earnings of $188 million for the excess of the fair value of the shares over the share of the net assets sold. The agreement contains certain redemption features that, while not currently in effect, are not solely in AES’ control. As a result, the noncontrolling ownership interest is considered temporary equity. The Company has concluded that the likelihood of an event that would allow CDPQ to redeem its interest under the terms of the shareholder agreement is not probable, but would require redemption at fair value. Therefore, as of June 30, 2026, the noncontrolling ownership interest is not probable of becoming redeemable and subsequent adjustments to the carrying value were not required. AES Ohio is reported in the Utilities SBU reportable segment.
AES Indiana Pike County BESS — The redemption feature of the tax equity partnership agreement was contingent upon the underlying assets being placed in service by a guaranteed date. In March 2025, the Pike County BESS project was placed in service, resulting in the expiration of the redemption feature. As a result, the noncontrolling ownership interest of $38 million was reclassified from Redeemable stock of subsidiaries to Noncontrolling interests on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. AES Indiana is reported in the Utilities SBU reportable segment.
- EQUITY
Equity Transactions with Noncontrolling Interests
Marahu — In June 2026, the Company sold a preferred membership interest in CleanFlex Puerto Rico Partners, LLC (“Marahu”) to TotalEnergies (“Total”), resulting in a $169 million increase to NCI. Marahu is a holding company over the Jobos and Salinas renewables development projects in Puerto Rico, and is reported in the Renewables SBU reportable segment.
Cochrane — In May 2025, the Company acquired the remaining 40% of the common shares in Empresa Electrica Cochrane SpA (“Cochrane”), a coal-fired plant in Chile, from a third-party investor for $89 million, increasing AES’ ownership in Cochrane to 96.7%. This transaction resulted in a $46 million decrease in Parent Company Stockholder’s Equity due to a decrease in additional paid-in-capital of $29 million and a reclassification of accumulated other comprehensive losses from NCI to AOCL of $17 million.
In February 2026, AES Andes acquired all of the outstanding preferred shares in Cochrane for $29 million, increasing AES’ effective ownership in Cochrane to 99.6%. Cochrane is reported in the Energy Infrastructure SBU reportable segment.
AES Indiana Petersburg Energy Center — In February 2026, AES Indiana sold additional noncontrolling interests in the Petersburg Energy Center project to the tax equity investor, resulting in a $120 million increase to NCI. AES Indiana is reported in the Utilities SBU reportable segment.
AES Clean Energy Tax Equity Partnerships — The majority of solar projects in the U.S. have been financed with tax equity structures, in which tax equity investors receive a portion of the economic attributes of the facilities, including tax attributes, which vary over the life of the projects. The substance of such arrangements is that of a preferred structure, whereby tax equity investors are granted preferential returns in the form of significant earnings and tax allocations from the partnership, until a specified internal rate of return is achieved.
During the six months ended June 30, 2025, AES Clean Energy Development and AES Renewable Holdings, through multiple transactions, sold noncontrolling interests in project companies to tax equity investors, resulting in increases to NCI of $282 million. AES Clean Energy Development and AES Renewable Holdings are reported in the Renewables SBU reportable segment.
AES Indiana Pike County BESS — In March 2025, as a result of the Pike County BESS project being placed in service, the noncontrolling ownership interest of $38 million was reclassified from Redeemable stock of subsidiaries to Noncontrolling interests on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. See Note 11—Redeemable Stock of Subsidiaries for further information. Subsequently, AES Indiana sold additional noncontrolling interests to the tax equity investor, resulting in a $150 million increase to NCI. AES Indiana is reported in the Utilities SBU reportable segment.
31 | Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements | June 30, 2026 and 2025
Chile Renovables — In December 2023, Chile Renovables issued $275 million of preferred shares to Global Infrastructure Management, LLC (“GIP”), the proceeds of which are being used to fund the development of an additional pipeline of renewables projects. Under the terms of the operating agreement, GIP receives an escalating specified internal rate of return up until the point the projects reach commercial operations. As each project reaches commercial operations, the preferred shares convert to common stock and GIP may make additional contributions to maintain its 49% ownership interest. In February 2025, the Andes Solar 2a BESS project reached commercial operations. The preferred shares were converted to common stock and GIP made additional contributions of $14 million, resulting in an increase to NCI of $17 million and a decrease to additional paid-in capital of $3 million. As the Company maintained control after these transactions, Chile Renovables continues to be consolidated by the Company within the Renewables SBU reportable segment.

- SEGMENTS
The segment reporting structure uses the Company’s management reporting structure as its foundation to reflect how the Company manages the businesses internally. The management reporting structure is composed of four SBUs, mainly organized by technology, led by our Chief Executive Officer, who is our Chief Operating Decision Maker. Using the accounting guidance on segment reporting, the Company determined that its four operating segments are aligned with its four reportable segments corresponding to its SBUs. In March 2026, the Company announced changes in its internal management structure, including a change in its President. These changes did not result in a change to our Chief Operating Decision Maker or to the Company’s operating or reportable segments.
*•*Renewables — Solar, wind, energy storage, and hydro generation facilities;
*•*Utilities — AES Indiana, AES Ohio, and AES El Salvador regulated utilities and their generation facilities;
*•*Energy Infrastructure — Natural gas, LNG, coal, pet coke, diesel, and oil generation facilities; and
*•*New Energy Technologies — Investments in Fluence, Maximo, the AI Fund, and other new and innovative energy technology businesses.
Our Renewables, Utilities, and Energy Infrastructure SBUs participate in our generation business line, in which we own and/or operate power plants to generate and sell power to customers, such as utilities, industrial users, and other intermediaries. Our Utilities SBU participates in our utilities business line, in which we own and/or operate utilities to generate or purchase, distribute, transmit, and sell electricity to end-user customers in the residential, commercial, industrial, and governmental sectors within a defined service area. In certain circumstances, our utilities also generate and sell electricity on the wholesale market. Our New Energy Technologies SBU includes investments in new and innovative technologies to support leading-edge greener energy solutions.
Included in “Corporate and Other” are the results of AES Global Insurance Company, LLC ("AGIC"), AES' captive insurance company, corporate overhead costs which are not directly associated with the operations of our four reportable segments, and certain intercompany charges such as self-insurance premiums which are fully eliminated in consolidation.
The Company uses Adjusted EBITDA as its primary segment performance measure. Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP measure, is defined by the Company as earnings before interest income and expense, taxes, depreciation, amortization, and accretion of AROs, adjusted for the impact of NCI and interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization, and accretion of AROs of our equity affiliates, and adding back interest income recognized under service concession arrangements; excluding gains or losses of both consolidated entities and entities accounted for under the equity method due to (a) unrealized gains or losses pertaining to derivative transactions, equity securities, and financial assets and liabilities measured using the fair value option; (b) unrealized foreign currency gains or losses; (c) gains, losses, benefits, and costs associated with dispositions and acquisitions of business interests, including early plant closures, and gains and losses recognized at commencement of sales-type leases; (d) losses due to impairments; (e) gains, losses, and costs due to the early retirement of debt or troubled debt restructuring; (f) costs directly associated with a major restructuring program, including, but not limited to, workforce reduction efforts; and (g) costs directly associated with the Merger, including, but not limited to, advisory, legal, and employee-related costs.
The Company has concluded Adjusted EBITDA better reflects the underlying business performance of the Company and is the most relevant measure considered in the Company's internal evaluation of the financial performance of its segments. Additionally, given its large number of businesses and overall complexity, the Company concluded that Adjusted EBITDA is a more transparent measure that better assists investors in determining which businesses have the greatest impact on the Company's results. The Chief Operating Decision Maker uses Adjusted EBITDA to allocate resources and capital for each segment in the annual budget and forecasting process, including making decisions on where to reinvest profits to support segment growth. On a monthly basis, the Chief Operating Decision Maker reviews variances in budget versus actual Adjusted EBITDA and monitors changes in forecasted Adjusted EBITDA to assess the underlying operating performance and analyze risks and opportunities at each segment.
Revenue and Adjusted EBITDA are presented before inter-segment eliminations, which includes the effect of intercompany transactions with other segments except for charges for certain management fees and the write-off of intercompany balances, as applicable. All intra-segment activity has been eliminated within the segment. Inter-segment activity has been eliminated within the total consolidated results.

Contract Balances — The timing of revenue recognition, billings, and cash collections results in accounts receivable and contract liabilities. The contract liabilities from contracts with customers were $246 million and $374 million as of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively.
During the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, we recognized revenue of $162 million and $15 million, respectively, that was included in the corresponding contract liability balance at the beginning of the periods.
A significant financing arrangement exists for our Mong Duong plant in Vietnam. The plant was constructed under a BOT contract and sold to the Vietnamese government, while we remain the operator for the duration of the 25-year PPA. The performance obligation to construct the facility was substantially completed in 2015. Contract consideration related to the construction, but not yet collected through the 25-year PPA, was reflected on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. As of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the loan receivable balance was $806 million and $862 million, respectively. Of these amounts, $96 million and $107 million were classified in Other current assets, and $710 million and $755 million in Loan receivable on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, respectively.
Remaining Performance Obligations — The transaction price allocated to remaining performance obligations represents future revenue for unsatisfied (or partially unsatisfied) performance obligations at the end of the reporting period. As of June 30, 2026, the aggregate amount of transaction price allocated to remaining performance obligations was $258 million, primarily consisting of fixed consideration in development services contracts in the U.S., of which $120 million has been collected. We expect to recognize revenue of approximately $127 million in the remainder of 2026, $127 million in 2027, and the remainder thereafter.
- OTHER INCOME AND EXPENSE
Other income generally includes gains on insurance recoveries in excess of property damage, gains on asset sales and liability extinguishments, favorable judgments on contingencies, allowance for funds used during construction, gains on contingent consideration remeasurement, and other income from miscellaneous transactions. Other expense generally includes losses on asset sales and dispositions, losses on legal contingencies, losses on

AES Clean Energy Development Projects — AES Clean Energy Development has a pipeline of U.S. renewables projects that are in various stages of development and construction. In some cases, if development efforts are not successful, the Company may abandon a particular project, writing off all the intangible assets and capitalized development costs incurred. The fair value of each abandoned project with no salvage value is determined to be zero as there are no future projected cash flows. The Company recognized $38 million and $117 million of pre-tax asset impairment expense related to the write-off of projects that were determined to be no longer viable during the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively. Of the $86 million pre-tax asset impairment expense recorded during the three months ended June 30, 2025, $51 million was related to right sizing our development company as part of the restructuring program initiated in February 2025. See Note 21—Restructuring for further information. AES Clean Energy Development is reported in the Renewables SBU reportable segment.
Mong Duong — In November 2023, the Company entered into an agreement to sell its entire 51% ownership interest in Mong Duong 2, a coal-fired plant in Vietnam, and 51% equity interest in Mong Duong Finance Holdings B.V., an SPV accounted for as an equity affiliate (collectively "Mong Duong"). The carrying amount of the Mong Duong disposal group, which primarily consisted of our loan receivable from the sale of the power plant to the Vietnamese government, in subsequent periods exceeded the expected sales proceeds and as a result, the Company recognized pre-tax impairment expense of $17 million during the three months ended March 31, 2025.
As of May 31, 2025, due to delays in closing the transaction and the pending expiration of the agreement in November 2025, the Company determined Mong Duong no longer met the held-for-sale criteria. As such, the Mong Duong asset group was reclassified as held and used. The loan receivable was remeasured at amortized cost and non-loan assets were each individually remeasured at the lower of (i) carrying value before being classified as held
41 | Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements | June 30, 2026 and 2025
for sale, adjusted for any depreciation expense or impairment losses that would have been recognized had the assets been continuously classified as held and used, or (ii) fair value at the date of the subsequent determination that held-for-sale criteria was no longer met. As a result, the Company recorded a $243 million increase in the carrying value of the Mong Duong asset group due to the derecognition of a $239 million valuation allowance on the loan receivable accounted for under ASC 310, which had been recognized in Asset impairment expense between December 31, 2023 and March 31, 2025 while Mong Duong was classified as held-for-sale, and the elimination of $4 million in net estimated costs to sell from the measurement of the asset group. See Note 18—Held-for-Sale and Dispositions for further information. Mong Duong is reported in the Energy Infrastructure SBU reportable segment.
- INCOME TAXES
The Company’s provision for income taxes is based on the estimated annual effective tax rate, plus discrete items. The effective tax rates for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 were 6% and (2)%, respectively. The effective tax rates for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 were 428% and 1,082%, respectively. The effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2025 was not meaningful due to pretax book income being near breakeven. The difference between the Company’s effective tax rates for the 2026 and 2025 periods and the U.S. statutory tax rate of 21% related primarily to foreign tax rate differentials, the impacts of foreign currency fluctuations at certain foreign subsidiaries, nondeductible expenses, valuation allowance, the impacts of U.S. investment tax credits (“ITCs”), and noncontrolling interest in our U.S. subsidiaries.
During the second quarter of 2026, the Company executed a public sale of the Fluence Class A shares, resulting in a pre-tax gain on sale of $186 million. The sale resulted in approximately $42 million of discrete tax expense for both the three and six months ended June 30, 2026. Additionally, the Company recognized discrete tax benefit of approximately $54 million associated with the Fluence sell-down transaction due to release of valuation allowance on U.S. capital losses. See Note 7—Investments in and Advances to Affiliates for additional information regarding the Fluence sell-down transaction.
For the six months ended June 30, 2026, the Company recorded discrete tax benefit of approximately $20 million associated with the merger of Cochrane into AES Andes and discrete tax expense of approximately $37 million resulting from allocations of losses to tax equity investors on renewables projects.
For the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, the Company recognized discrete tax expense of approximately $18 million and $44 million, respectively, resulting from allocations of losses to tax equity investors on renewables projects.
- HELD-FOR-SALE AND DISPOSITIONS
Held-for-Sale
JK Projects — In April 2025, the Company executed an agreement to contribute the Jemeiwaa Ka’I wind projects (“JK Projects”) to two trusts. In May 2026, the Company completed the contribution of two of the JK Projects, JK1 and JK2, to one of the trusts. See Dispositions below and Note 7—Investments in and Advances to Affiliates for further information. As of June 30, 2026, the contribution of the remaining JK Projects has not been completed and they continue to be classified as held-for-sale but do not meet the criteria to be reported as discontinued operations. These projects are expected to be contributed to the trusts in late 2026 or early 2027. Since the fair value less costs to sell exceeded the carrying value of the disposal group, no impairment was recorded. On a consolidated basis, the carrying value of the remaining JK Projects held-for-sale as of June 30, 2026 was $10 million, consisting primarily of intangible assets. The JK Projects are reported in the Renewables SBU reportable segment.
Mong Duong — In November 2023, the Company entered into an agreement to sell its entire 51% ownership interest in Mong Duong 2, a coal-fired plant in Vietnam, and 51% equity interest in Mong Duong Finance Holdings B.V., an SPV accounted for as an equity affiliate (collectively "Mong Duong"). As a result, Mong Duong was classified as held-for-sale but did not meet the criteria to be reported as discontinued operations. The sale was subject to regulatory approval, and due to delays in closing the transaction and the pending expiration of the agreement, the Company determined the sale was no longer probable and that Mong Duong no longer met the held-for-sale criteria as of May 31, 2025. As a result, Mong Duong was classified as held and used as of June 30, 2026. The Company recorded an increase in the carrying value of the Mong Duong asset group primarily due to the derecognition of a $239 million valuation allowance on the loan receivable accounted for under ASC 310, which had been recognized in Asset impairment expense between December 31, 2023 and March 31, 2025 while Mong Duong was classified as held-for-sale. The agreement expired in November 2025 and the sale did not close. See
42 | Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements | June 30, 2026 and 2025
Note 16*—Asset Impairment Expense* for further information. Mong Duong is reported in the Energy Infrastructure SBU reportable segment.
Dispositions
JK Projects — In May 2026, the Company completed the contribution of two of the JK Projects, JK1 and JK2, to a trust, receiving proceeds of $25 million. After closing the transaction, the Company retained 51% ownership in the trust, which is accounted for as an equity method investment. The transaction resulted in a pre-tax gain on sale of $24 million reported in Gain on disposal and sale of business interests. See Note 7—Investments in and Advances to Affiliates for further information. The JK Projects are reported in the Renewables SBU reportable segment.
Dominican Republic Renewables — In June 2025, the Company completed the sale of 50% of its interest in AES DR Renewables Holdings, S.L. and its subsidiaries (collectively “Dominican Republic Renewables”), whose main objective is the operation and administration of energy generation assets from primary energy resources. Of the sale price of $103 million, the Company received cash proceeds of $100 million in July 2025. The Company retained a 50% ownership interest in Dominican Republic Renewables after the sale and the business was deconsolidated and accounted for as an equity method investment. The transaction resulted in a pre-tax gain on sale of $70 million reported in Gain on disposal and sale of business interests, of which $37 million was related to remeasurement of the Company’s retained interest to its fair value. See Note 7—Investments in and Advances to Affiliates for further information. Dominican Republic Renewables is reported in the Renewables SBU reportable segment.
Ventanas — In January 2025, the Company completed the sale of its 100% ownership interest in Empresa Electrica Ventanas SpA and Nucleo SpA (collectively “Ventanas”), owner of a coal-fired energy generation facility in Chile, for $5 million. An immaterial loss on sale was recognized as a result of this transaction. The sale did not meet the criteria to be reported as discontinued operations. Prior to its sale, Ventanas was reported in the Energy Infrastructure SBU reportable segment.
- ACQUISITIONS
Crossvine — On May 16, 2025, the Company completed the acquisition of 100% of the membership interests in Crossvine Solar 1, LLC, which is developing an 85 MW solar generation facility and an 85 MW battery storage project in Indiana, for total consideration of $78 million. The nature of the assets acquired is largely intangible, consisting mainly of a project development intangible valued at $64 million. The transaction was accounted for as an asset acquisition of a variable interest entity that did not meet the definition of a business. Crossvine is reported in the Utilities SBU reportable segment.
AES Clean Energy Solar Project Acquisitions — On April 4, 2025, the Company closed on the acquisition of 100% of the membership interests in Homer Solar Energy Center, LLC, Moraine Solar Energy Center, LLC, and Tracy Solar Energy Center, LLC, which hold early-stage development solar energy projects in New York, with a capacity of 303 MW. The total fair value of the consideration was $30 million, including contingent consideration of $8 million. The contingent consideration will be updated quarterly with any prospective changes in fair value recorded through earnings. The fair value of the consideration paid was attributed mainly to a project development intangible asset. The transaction was accounted for as an asset acquisition of variable interest entities that did not meet the definition of a business. AES Clean Energy is reported in the Renewables SBU reportable segment.
- EARNINGS PER SHARE
Basic and diluted earnings per share are based on the weighted average number of shares of common stock and potential common stock outstanding during the period. Potential common stock, for purposes of determining diluted earnings per share, includes the effects of dilutive RSUs and stock options. The effect of such potential common stock is computed using the treasury stock method.
The following table is a reconciliation of the numerator and denominator of the basic and diluted earnings per share computation for income from continuing operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, where income represents the numerator and weighted-average shares represent the denominator.

Adjustments to Redemption Value — For the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, income from continuing operations available to AES common stockholders included a $10 million adjustment related to the increase of the carrying value of redeemable stock of subsidiaries at the AGIC Companies, as discussed in Note 11*—Redeemable Stock of Subsidiaries*.
The Company has elected to administer this entire non-fair value redemption adjustment consistent with the treatment of dividends in the earnings per share calculation. While the adjustment impacted net income available to AES common stockholders and earnings per share, it did not impact Net income in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations.
Anti-Dilutive Securities — The calculation of diluted earnings per share excluded 3 million outstanding stock awards for both the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, which would be anti-dilutive. The calculation of diluted earnings per share excluded 6 million outstanding stock awards for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 because their impact would be anti-dilutive given the loss from continuing operations. Had the Company generated income, potential shares of common stock of 2 million related to the stock awards would have been included in weighted-average shares outstanding for both the three and six months ended June 30, 2025. These stock awards could potentially dilute basic earnings per share in the future.
AES Global Insurance — As described in Note 11*—Redeemable Stock of Subsidiaries*, on April 30, 2025, the Company sold noncontrolling interests in the AGIC Companies. It is required that either (i) the AGIC Companies achieve a minimum distribution target to the Class B Member ranging from $146 million to $199 million over pre-defined periods of time ranging from three to five years (the “distribution period”) or (ii) AGIC achieves an average cash basis quarterly net income threshold for the period comprising the relevant distribution period and the four quarters immediately prior to the start of such distribution period. AES can make disproportionate distributions to the Class B Member to meet the minimum distribution target for the distribution period. If, at the end of a distribution period, (1) such cash basis net income threshold is not met and (2) the minimum distribution target for such distribution period is not achieved, AES would be required to address the shortfall by issuing AES common stock (“Shortfall Stock”) to AGIC for the net difference between actual and targeted distributions. If AES is required to issue Shortfall Stock, the amount will be based upon the number of shares multiplied by the then current share price to equal the net difference between actual and targeted distributions. Distributions of cash from the sale of Shortfall Stock are subject to regulatory approval and at the discretion of AES.
As part of the quarterly diluted earnings per share calculation, AES evaluates whether (1) average cash basis quarterly net income in a given quarter exceeds the threshold or (2) aggregate distributions made to the investor for the related distribution period exceed such target distribution amount. If either condition is met, no Shortfall Stock will be included in the diluted earnings per share calculation. As of June 30, 2026, the average cash basis quarterly net income condition was met, and therefore, no shares are included in the calculation of diluted EPS.
