AES10-Q: Divestiture

AES faces potential losses from a 2016 divestiture of its Sul business in Brazil.

What happened

A 2025 court decision reversed a prior ruling in favor of AES's previously sold Sul business, exposing AES to potential recovery claims from the buyer for a loss of approximately $14 million plus an additional $5 million, plus interest. This lingering liability from a past divestiture creates financial risk and a need for robust legal and financial risk management.
