, /PRNewswire/ -- OGE Energy Corp. (NYSE: OGE), the parent company of Oklahoma Gas and Electric Company ("OG&E"), today reported earnings of $0.53 per diluted share during the three months that ended June 30, 2025, compared to $0.51 per diluted share in the second quarter 2024. OG&E, a regulated electric company, contributed earnings of $0.53 per diluted share in the second quarter, compared to earnings of $0.54 per diluted share in the second quarter 2024. Other operations diluted earnings per share, which includes the holding company, was flat in the second quarter, compared to a loss of $0.03 per diluted share in the second quarter 2024. "Given the strong economies in Oklahoma and Arkansas, we are currently constructing approximately 550 MW of new natural gas combustion turbine generation projects which will be operational in 2026," stated Sean Trauschke, Chairman, President, and CEO of OGE Energy Corp. "We have proposed two additional natural gas combustion turbines, which are expected to be operational by the end of 2029. These projects are part of our broader strategy to ensure reliable and affordable service while addressing the increasing energy needs of our customers." Second Quarter 2025 results OG&E contributed net income of $107.7 million, or $0.53 per diluted share, in the second quarter compared to $109.3 million, or $0.54 per diluted share, in the same period 2024. The decrease in net income was primarily due to milder weather compared to last year and higher interest and depreciation expense on a growing asset base, partially offset by increased recovery of capital investments, higher weather-normalized load, and lower operation and maintenance expense. Other Operations resulted in a loss of $0.2 million in the second quarter compared to a loss of $7.0 million, or $0.03 per diluted share, in the same period 2024. The decrease in net loss was primarily due to a one-time benefit related to legacy midstream operations. OGE Energy's net income was $107.5 million or $0.53 per diluted share in the second quarter, compared to earnings of $102.3 million, or $0.51 per diluted share, in the same period 2024. 2025 OutlookOGE Energy's 2025 consolidated earnings guidance remains projected to be within a range of $2.21 to $2.33 per average diluted share. Due to year-to-date performance and continued strong economic growth in Oklahoma and Arkansas, OGE Energy's consolidated earnings are expected to be in the top half of its 2025 earnings guidance range. This guidance assumes, among other things, normal weather for the remainder of the year. OG&E has significant seasonality in its earnings due to weather on a year-over-year basis. See OGE Energy's 2024 Form 10-K for other key factors and assumptions underlying its 2025 guidance.

If the calculated average is above 65 degrees, then the difference between the calculated average and 65 is expressed as cooling degree days, with each degree of difference equaling one cooling degree day. If the calculated average is below 65 degrees, then the difference between the calculated average and 65 is expressed as heating degree days, with each degree of difference equaling one heating degree day. The daily calculations are then totaled for the particular reporting period. The calculation of heating and cooling degree normal days is based on a 30-year average. SOURCE OGE Energy Corp.
