 from Investing Activities

Ameren’s cash used in investing activities increased $6 million during the first nine months of 2025, compared with the year-ago period, primarily as a result of an $89 million increase in capital expenditures, largely resulting from increased natural gas generation-related investments at Ameren Missouri, increased expenditures for natural gas and electric distribution infrastructure upgrades at Ameren Illinois, and increased expenditures related to major storms at Ameren Missouri and Ameren Illinois. Ameren’s increase in cash used in investing activities was partially offset by a $54 million withdrawal of funds related to the cash surrender value of COLI and a $37 million decrease due to the timing of nuclear fuel expenditures at Ameren Missouri. 

Ameren Missouri’s cash used in investing activities decreased $57 million during the first nine months of 2025, compared with the year-ago period, primarily as a result of a $43 million return of net money pool advances and a $37 million decrease due to the timing of nuclear fuel expenditures. Ameren Missouri’s decrease in cash used in investing activities was partially offset by a $34 million increase in capital expenditures, largely resulting from increased natural gas generation-related investments, as well as increased expenditures related to major storms. 

Ameren Illinois’ cash used in investing activities increased $91 million during the first nine months of 2025, compared with the year-ago period, primarily as a result of a $51 million increase in net money pool advances, and a $36 million increase in capital expenditures, largely resulting from increased expenditures for natural gas and electric distribution infrastructure upgrades as well as increased expenditures related to major storms.

Cash Flows from Financing Activities

Cash provided by, or used in, financing activities is a result of our financing needs, which depend on the level of cash provided by operating activities, the level of cash used in investing activities, the level of dividends, and our long-term debt maturities, among other things.

Ameren’s cash provided by financing activities decreased $390 million during the first nine months of 2025, compared with the year-ago period. During the first nine months of 2025, Ameren utilized net proceeds from the issuance of long-term debt of $2.0 billion for general corporate purposes and to repay $300 million of long-term debt maturities and then-outstanding short-term debt. During the first nine months of 2025, Ameren also repaid net short-term debt of $239
