Current report
Compared with last year, third quarter net income increased $10 million, from $517 million to $527 million. This increase is the result of higher energy and capacity sales and prices in the spot market, higher retail rates and demand at our utilities, and the prior year impairment of the Uplight equity method investment and adjustments to the convertible notes; partially offset by lower income tax benefit, lower contract sales volume mainly due to the expiration of the Maritza PPA in Bulgaria, and higher impairment expense.
Current report
Compared with last year, net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2026 increased $895 million, from $294 million to $1,189 million.

As such, there is some uncertainty with respect to the impact of GHG rules. The NSPS for new EGUs will not require us to comply with an emissions standard until we construct a new electric generating unit. We do not have any planned major modifications of an existing source or plans to construct a new major source at this time which are expected to be subject to these regulations. Furthermore, the EPA, states, and other utilities are still evaluating potential impacts of the GHG regulations in our industry. In light of these uncertainties, we cannot predict the impact of the EPA’s current and future GHG regulations on our consolidated results of operations, cash flows, and financial condition.
Previous report
Due to the future uncertainty of these regulations and associated litigation, we cannot at this time determine the impact on our operations or consolidated financial results, but we believe the cost to comply with a new Section 111(d) Rule, should it be implemented in a prior or a substantially similar form, could be material. The GHG NSPS for new EGUs remains in effect at this time, and absent further action from the EPA that rescinds or substantively revises the NSPS, it could impact any Company plans to construct and/or modify or reconstruct electric generating units in some locations, which may have a material impact on our business, financial condition, or results of operations.

Asset impairment expense increased $147 million to $42 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026, compared to a $105 million reversal for the six months ended June 30, 2025.

This was partially offset by lower impairment expense of $79 million at AES Clean Energy Development due to the write-off of project development intangibles and capitalized development costs for projects that were determined to be no longer viable, mainly driven by $51 million in the prior year due to the right sizing of our development company as part of the restructuring program initiated in February 2025.
