 Illinois’ cash from operating activities between periods was partially offset by a $157 million increase resulting from higher customer collections primarily from electric distribution and transmission base rate increases and higher electric and natural gas distribution sales volumes due to colder winter temperatures in 2025, partially offset by lower customer collections under cost recovery mechanisms and higher purchased power costs due to summer capacity prices that were set by the 2025 MISO capacity auction.

Cash Flows from Investing Activities

Ameren’s cash used in investing activities increased $179 million during the first six months of 2025, compared with the year-ago period, primarily as a result of a $238 million increase in capital expenditures, largely resulting from increased natural gas generation-related investments at Ameren Missouri, increased expenditures for natural gas distribution and 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 an $18 million decrease due to the timing of nuclear fuel expenditures at Ameren Missouri. 

Ameren Missouri’s cash used in investing activities increased $167 million during the first six months of 2025, compared with the year-ago period, primarily as a result of a $221 million increase in capital expenditures, largely resulting from increased natural gas generation-related investments, as well as increased expenditures related to major storms. Ameren Missouri’s increase in cash used in investing activities was partially offset by a $43 million return of net money pool advances and an $18 million decrease due to the timing of nuclear fuel expenditures.
