    Total Operating Revenues

    -20% (from $489M in Q2 2024 to $390M in Q1 2025)

    The 20% decline in total operating revenues reflects a broad-based contraction, driven by underperformance in both core (PJM) and non-core (Other regions) segments, indicating that the issues affecting key geographical areas have materially reduced total top-line performance.

    PJM Revenue

    -16% (from $438M in Q2 2024 to $367M in Q1 2025)

    The 16% drop in PJM revenue suggests weakening market demand and disruptions in capacity pricing dynamics, which have eroded revenue from the region that historically represented a significant portion of operating income.

    Revenue from Other Regions

    -28% (from $58M in Q2 2024 to $42M in Q1 2025)

    A sharper 28% decline in revenue from Other regions indicates intensified competitive pressures or reduced sales volumes in these markets, hinting at broader challenges beyond the core PJM market.

    Derivative Gains/Losses

    Shift from +$100M (Q2 2024) & +$95M (Q3 2024) to -$241M

    The swing from positive derivative gains in prior periods to a -$241M loss signals significant adverse market movements and unfavorable hedging outcomes, likely stemming from rapid changes in forward power prices and reversals of previously beneficial positions.

    Net Income

    From +$82M in Q4 2024 to -$135M in Q1 2025

    A dramatic reversal in net income—from a $82M profit to a $135M loss—reflects the compounded impact of lower operating revenues and substantial losses in derivative transactions, underscoring how multiple adverse factors have converged to drive overall profitability into negative territory.

    Earnings Per Share (EPS)

    From $1.96 (Q4 2024) to -$2.94 (Q1 2025)

    EPS fell sharply as a direct consequence of the net income reversal and potential share count adjustments (e.g., share repurchases), reflecting the lower earnings per share for stockholders and signaling deteriorating profitability on a per-share basis.
