For the three months ended June 30, 2020, Vistra reported Net Income of $164 million, Net Income from Ongoing Operations(1) of $178 million, and Ongoing Operations Adjusted EBITDA(1) of $929 million. Vistra's second quarter 2020 Net Income was $190 million lower than second quarter 2019 Net Income, driven by a decrease in unrealized gains on hedging transactions. Vistra's second quarter Adjusted EBITDA from Ongoing Operations(2) was $212 million higher than second quarter 2019 results, driven by the acquisitions of Ambit and Crius in the second half of 2019, results of Vistra's OPI program, and higher generation margins in ERCOT and PJM.
Vistra reported second quarter Adjusted EBITDA from the Retail segment of $401 million, $108 million higher than second quarter 2019 results, driven by the acquisitions of Crius and Ambit. Second quarter Adjusted EBITDA from the generation(3) segments, on an aggregate basis, totaled $528 million, $104 million higher than second quarter 2019 results driven by Vistra's OPI program and higher margins in the ERCOT and PJM segments.
For the first half of 2020, Vistra reported Net Income of $209 million, Net Income from Ongoing Operations(1) of $240 million and Ongoing Operations Adjusted EBITDA(1) of $1,779 million. Vistra's Net Income for the first half of 2020 was $369 million lower than first half of 2019 Net Income, driven primarily by a decrease in unrealized gains on hedging transactions. Ongoing Operations Adjusted EBITDA(2) for the first half of 2020 was $238 million higher than the first half of 2019, driven by higher generation margins and the acquisitions of Crius and Ambit.
"We continue to operate during an unprecedented tail event, proving the resilience of Vistra's business model - one that prioritizes a strong balance sheet and low-cost, integrated operations. Our second quarter performance is further evidence that this business model is the right one, and stronger and more stable than ever," said Curt Morgan, Vistra's president and chief executive officer. "Vistra's strong financial results are the direct result of the work of our No. 1 asset - our people - and our advantaged asset and business positions. We are committed to the health and safety of our employees and that includes an obligation to ensure an equitable workplace so that all team members can achieve their career aspirations. Vistra is prudently investing time and money in its people, its customers, its facilities, and its communities, so that whether faced with a pandemic, a natural disaster, or inequality and social injustice, Vistra will be a sustainable company providing reliable, essential electricity and needed assistance to the communities and customers we serve, while delivering attractive returns to our investors."

Capital Allocation
Vistra took further steps during the second quarter and continuing into July 2020 to reduce its debt obligations as it approaches its long-term leverage target of 2.5x net debt to EBITDA. Specifically, Vistra redeemed approximately $666 million of debt, consisting of $500 million aggregate principal amount of Vistra 5.875% senior unsecured notes due 2023 and approximately $166 million aggregate principal amount of Vistra's 8.125% senior unsecured notes due 2026. Vistra continues to prioritize debt reduction in 2020 and, as a result, has not repurchased additional shares under its authorized share repurchase program since November 2019. Net shares outstanding are approximately 488.8 million as of July 31, 2020. Vistra plans to announce its long-term capital allocation plan during a virtual investor event on Sept. 29, 2020.
Liquidity
As of June 30, 2020, Vistra had total available liquidity of approximately $1,669 million, including cash and cash equivalents of $382 million and $1,287 million of availability under its revolving credit facility.

About Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Items Affecting Comparability
"Adjusted EBITDA" (EBITDA as adjusted for unrealized gains or losses from hedging activities, tax receivable agreement impacts, reorganization items, and certain other items described from time to time in Vistra's earnings releases),"Adjusted Free Cash Flow before Growth" (or "Adjusted FCFbG") (cash from operating activities excluding changes in margin deposits and working capital and adjusted for capital expenditures (including capital expenditures for growth investments), other net investment activities, and other items described from time to time in Vistra's earnings releases), "Ongoing Operations Adjusted EBITDA" (adjusted EBITDA less adjusted EBITDA from Asset Closure segment), "Net Income from Ongoing Operations" (net income less net income from Asset Closure segment) and "Ongoing Operations Adjusted Free Cash Flow before Growth" or "Ongoing Operations Adjusted FCFbG" (adjusted free cash flow before growth less cash flow from operating activities from Asset Closure segment before growth), are "non-GAAP financial measures." A non-GAAP financial measure is a numerical measure of financial performance that excludes or includes amounts so as to be different than the most directly comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP in Vistra's consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive income, changes in stockholders' equity, and cash flows. Non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the most directly comparable GAAP measures. Vistra's non-GAAP financial measures may be different from non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies.
Vistra uses Adjusted EBITDA as a measure of performance and believes that analysis of its business by external users is enhanced by visibility to both Net Income prepared in accordance with GAAP and Adjusted EBITDA. Vistra uses Adjusted Free Cash Flow before Growth as a measure of liquidity and believes that analysis of its ability to service its cash obligations is supported by disclosure of both cash provided by (used in) operating activities prepared in accordance with GAAP as well as Adjusted Free Cash Flow before Growth. Vistra uses Ongoing Operations Adjusted EBITDA as a measure of performance and Ongoing Operations Adjusted Free Cash Flow before Growth as a measure of liquidity and Vistra's management and board of directors have found it informative to view the Asset Closure segment as separate and distinct from Vistra's ongoing operations. Vistra uses Net Income from Ongoing Operations as a non-GAAP measure that is most comparable to the GAAP measure Net Income in order to illustrate the Company's Net Income excluding the effects of the Asset Closure segment, as well as a measure to compare to Ongoing Operations Adjusted EBITDA. The schedules attached to this earnings release reconcile the non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable financial measures calculated and presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP.
