RRI Energy Reports Second Quarter 2010 Results

HOUSTON, TX--(Marketwire - July 30, 2010) - RRI Energy, Inc. (NYSE: RRI)

--  Merger with Mirant to create GenOn Energy expected to close by the end
    of the year
    --  Significant near-term value creation driven by $150 million annual
        cost savings
    --  Strengthened balance sheet and enhanced financial flexibility
    --  Increased scale and geographic diversity across regions
    --  Well positioned to benefit from improvement in market conditions
--  Captured approximately $400 million in additional future forward
    capacity revenue
--  Second quarter financial results reflect depressed commodity prices and
    weak economic conditions
--  Planned outage investments to improve future operating performance

RRI Energy, Inc. today is reporting open EBITDA of $4 million for the second quarter of 2010, compared to ($10) million for the second quarter of 2009. The improvement was primarily due to improved energy margins and capacity prices. The company reported break-even adjusted EBITDA in the second quarter of 2010, compared to ($78) million in the second quarter of 2009. The improvement was due to the items mentioned above and a reduction on losses from coal hedges. The free cash flow deficit from continuing operations during the first half of 2010 improved to $85 million, compared to $147 million for the first half of 2009.

"Our proposed merger with Mirant Corporation will create significant near-term value for shareholders while preserving the fundamental value proposition of a recovery in commodity prices and supply and demand fundamentals," said Mark Jacobs, president and chief executive officer of RRI Energy. "We are making excellent progress toward completing the steps necessary to finalize the merger and expect to close the transaction by the end of the year. Additionally, during the second quarter the company captured approximately $400 million in additional future forward capacity revenue. These revenues, primarily from the PJM assets, represent an important, stable and visible revenue stream."

During the second quarter of 2010, RRI participated in the PJM RPM base residual auction for planning year 2013. Planning year 2013 is June 1, 2013 through May 31, 2014. RRI sold approximately 7,100 megawatts of capacity capturing capacity revenue of approximately $400 million.

Open EBITDA was $29 million for the first six months of 2010, compared to ($4) million for the same period of 2009. Adjusted EBITDA was $32 million for the first six months of 2010, compared to ($58) million for the same period of 2009. The improvements were due to the same factors as described above.

The loss from continuing operations before income taxes for the second quarter of 2010 was $188 million, compared to $185 million for the second quarter of 2009. The 2010 reported results include net unrealized losses from energy derivatives of $66 million and $14 million in merger-related costs. The reported numbers for 2009 include net unrealized gains from energy derivatives of $7 million.

The loss from continuing operations before income taxes for the first six months of 2010 was $402 million, compared to $325 million for the first six months of 2009. The 2010 reported results include net unrealized gains from energy derivatives of $61 million, a $17 million charge for western states and similar settlements, $14 million in merger-related costs and a $248 million charge for long-lived assets impairments. The reported numbers for 2009 include net unrealized losses from energy derivatives of $37 million. Operating cash flow from continuing operations was $27 million for the first half of 2010, compared to ($96) million for the same period of 2009.

(1) Open energy gross margin is calculated using the day-ahead and
    real-time market power sales prices received by the plants less 
    market-based delivered fuel costs.
(2) Other margin represents power purchase agreements, capacity payments,
    ancillary services revenues and selective commercial strategies
    relating to optimizing our assets.
(3) Segment profitability measure.
(4) This figure excludes the effects of hedges and other items and
    unrealized gains/losses on energy derivatives.
(5) Total margin capture factor is calculated by dividing open gross
    margin generated by the plants by the total available open gross
    margin, assuming 100% availability.
(6) Excludes generation related to power purchase agreements.
(7) Represents open energy gross margin divided by generation.
