What Are NRG Energy's Key Financial Figures?
| Fiscal year | FY2025 ended December 31, 2025 | FY2024 ended December 31, 2024 | FY2023 ended December 31, 2023 | FY2022 ended December 31, 2022 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Revenue | $30.7 billion | $28.1 billion | $28.8 billion | $31.5 billion |
| Operating income | $1.8 billion | $2.4 billion | $384 million | $2.0 billion |
| Operating margin | 6.0% | 8.6% | 1.3% | 6.4% |
| Net income | $864 million | $1.1 billion | -$202 million | $1.2 billion |
| Net margin | 2.8% | 4.0% | -0.7% | 3.9% |
| Operating cash flow | $1.9 billion | $2.3 billion | -$221 million | $360 million |
| Capital expenditures | $1.1 billion | $472 million | $598 million | $367 million |
| Free cash flow | $766 million | $1.8 billion | -$819 million | -$7 million |
Operating margin narrowed by 2.6 percentage points between fiscal 2024 and 2025, which separates pricing and cost discipline from revenue growth alone. Free cash flow (operating cash flow minus capital expenditures) was $766 million against net income of $864 million; cash generation fell short of reported earnings, which is worth reconciling in the cash flow statement.

Where These Numbers Come From
Every figure on this page is a value NRG Energy reported in its own SEC filings, read from the SEC's XBRL data (accession 0001013871-26-000004 for fiscal year 2025). Ratios are computed from those reported values. Figures were retrieved on October 7, 2026; a later amendment or a new annual report can change them, and the filing itself always takes precedence over this summary.
Each fiscal year is labeled by the calendar year in which it ended, so a company that names the same period differently in its own filings (many retailers whose year ends in January) may use another label. A year is left out of the table when the SEC data set holds no value for it. A figure shown as "Not reported" means the company did not file a value under the standard tag Swoopr reads, not that the amount was zero. This page is educational and describes reported history only; it is not a forecast or a recommendation.
