Portland General Electric Announces Third Quarter 2025 Results

Third quarter 2025 GAAP earnings of $0.94 per diluted share, non-GAAP earnings of $1.00 per diluted share Third quarter financial results reflect continued demand growth from data center customers, driving 13% industrial load growth quarter-over-quarter Reaffirming 2025 adjusted earnings guidance of $3.13 to $3.33 per diluted share , /PRNewswire/ -- Portland General Electric Company (NYSE: POR) today reported net income based on generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) of $103 million, or $0.94 per diluted share, for the third quarter of 2025. After adjusting for the impact of business transformation and optimization expenses, third quarter 2025 non-GAAP net income was $110 million, or $1.00 per diluted share. This compares with GAAP net income of $94 million, or $0.90 per diluted share, for the third quarter of 2024. "Our team delivered another strong quarter in Q3 as we remain laser-focused on execution and driving value for customers, communities and shareholders," said Maria Pope, President and CEO. "We are working to procure energy to meet dramatically higher customer demand under our rigorous least-cost, least-risk approach. Our multi-pronged strategy prioritizes reliable delivery of energy to customers while maximizing the window of federal clean energy tax credits, allowing our customers to receive the full benefit of high-value clean energy resources at the lowest cost possible." Third Quarter 2025 Compared to Third Quarter 2024 On a GAAP basis, total revenues increased, driven by continued demand growth from technology infrastructure customers and improved cost recovery. Purchased power and fuel expense declined slightly, reflecting stable market conditions and a reduction in wholesale energy deliveries. Operating and maintenance expenses were largely flat after considering a 2024 reserve. Depreciation and amortization expense and interest expense increased due to ongoing capital investment. Income tax expense increased primarily due to lower production tax credit benefits. Company Updates Resource Procurement On October 1, 2025, PGE requested acknowledgement from the Public Utility Commission of Oregon (OPUC) of an updated final shortlist of bidders for the 2023 All-Source Request for Proposal (RFP) to meet PGE's articulated resource needs. PGE is proceeding to commercial negotiations with bidders for projects on the updated final shortlist and expects finalization of contracts for projects that meet selection criteria by the end of 2025 or in the first quarter of 2026, with projects in service by the end of 2027. The 2023 RFP is a component of PGE's multi-pronged procurement approach focused on customer affordability, system reliability, and decarbonization. In parallel with the 2023 RFP, the Company is seeking additional renewable energy and non-emitting capacity through purchased power agreements (PPAs), including a bilateral all-call for PPAs, community-based renewable energy procurement, and the ongoing 2025 RFP process. The 2025 RFP was issued to market in July 2025, seeking bids for owned and contracted resources that can provide non-emitting dispatchable capacity and renewable generation. Bids have been received and are currently being evaluated based on the OPUC-approved scoring methodology. PGE plans to file for acknowledgement of a proposed final shortlist in the first quarter of 2026, allowing PGE to begin negotiations with shortlisted bids. Regulatory Updates As previously announced, on October 21, 2025, the OPUC issued an Order in the request to recover the revenue requirement associated with the Seaside Battery Energy Storage System (Seaside). The Order results in an annual revenue requirement increase of $42 million, excluding impacts related to Net Variable Power Costs. The Order was supported by a memorandum of understanding (MOU) entered into between PGE and key regulatory stakeholders. The MOU guided the recovery proceeding for Seaside, PGE's largest standalone battery storage project which has been serving customers since July 2025. Quarterly Dividend As previously announced, on October 22, 2025, the board of directors of Portland General Electric Company approved a quarterly common stock dividend of $0.525 per share. The quarterly dividend is payable on or before January 15, 2026 to shareholders of record at the close of business on December 22, 2025. 2025 Earnings Guidance PGE is reaffirming its estimate for full-year 2025 adjusted earnings guidance of $3.13 to $3.33 per diluted share based on the following assumptions: An increase in energy deliveries between 3.5% and 4.5%, weather adjusted; Execution of power cost and financing plans; Execution of operating cost controls; Normal temperatures in its utility service territory; Hydro conditions for the year that reflect current estimates; Wind generation based on five years of historical levels or forecast studies when historical data is not available; Normal thermal plant operations; Operating and maintenance expense between $810 million and $830 million which includes approximately $135 million of wildfire, vegetation management, deferral amortization and other expenses that are offset in other income statement lines and $30 million of business transformation and optimization expenses; Depreciation and amortization expense between $550 million and $575 million; Effective tax rate of 15% to 20%; Cash from operations of $950 to $1,050 million; Capital expenditures of $1,220 million; and Average construction work in progress balance of $575 million. Third Quarter 2025 Earnings Call and Webcast — October 31, 2025 PGE will host a conference call with financial analysts and investors on Friday, October 31, 2025, at 11 a.m. ET. The conference call will be webcast live on the PGE website at investors.portlandgeneral.com. A webcast replay will also be available on PGE's investor website "Events & Presentations" page beginning at 2 p.m. ET on October 31, 2025. Maria Pope, President and CEO; Joe Trpik, Senior Vice President of Finance and CFO; and Nick White, Manager of Investor Relations, will participate in the call. Management will respond to questions following formal comments. The attached unaudited condensed consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income, balance sheets and statements of cash flows, as well as the supplemental operating statistics, are an integral part of this earnings release. Non-GAAP Financial Measures This press release contains certain non-GAAP measures, such as adjusted earnings, adjusted EPS and adjusted earnings guidance. These non-GAAP financial measures exclude significant items that are generally not related to our ongoing business activities, are infrequent in nature, or both. PGE believes that excluding the effects of these items provides a meaningful representation of the Company's comparative earnings per share and enables investors to evaluate the Company's ongoing operating financial performance. Management utilizes non-GAAP measures to assess the Company's current and forecasted performance, and for communications with shareholders, analysts and investors. Non-GAAP financial measures are supplementary information that should be considered in addition to, but not as a substitute for, the information prepared in accordance with GAAP. Items in the periods presented, which PGE believes impact the comparability of comparative earnings and do not represent ongoing operating financial performance, include the following: Business transformation and optimization expenses, including strategic advisory, workforce realignment and corporate structure update costs Due to the forward-looking nature of PGE's non-GAAP adjusted earnings guidance, and the inherently unpredictable nature of items and events which could lead to the recognition of non-GAAP adjustments (such as, but not limited to, regulatory disallowances or extreme weather events), management is unable to estimate the occurrence or value of specific items requiring adjustment for future periods, which could potentially impact the Company's GAAP earnings. Therefore, management cannot provide a reconciliation of non-GAAP adjusted earnings per share guidance to the most comparable GAAP financial measure without unreasonable effort. For the same reasons, management is unable to address the probable significance of unavailable information. PGE's reconciliation of non-GAAP earnings for the quarter ended September 30, 2025 is below. Non-GAAP Earnings Reconciliation for the quarter ended September 30, 2025 (Dollars in millions, except EPS) Net Income Diluted EPS GAAP as reported for the quarter ended September 30, 2025 $ 103 $ 0.94 Exclusion of business transformation and optimization expenses 10 0.09 Tax effect (1) (3) (0.03) Non-GAAP as reported for the quarter ended September 30, 2025 $ 110 $ 1.00 (1) Tax effects were determined based on the Company's full-year blended federal and state statutory rate.

impacts from the lack of legislation limiting wildfire-related liability or providing a wildfire relief fund; cybersecurity attacks, data security breaches, physical attacks and security breaches, or other malicious acts internally or to third parties, that cause damage to the Company's generation, transmission or distribution facilities, information technology systems, or employees, or inhibit the capability of equipment or systems to function as designed or expected, or result in the release of confidential customer, vendor, employee or Company information; reputational damage from negative publicity, protests, fines, penalties and other negative consequences resulting in regulatory and/or legal actions; employee workforce factors, including potential strikes, work stoppages, transitions in senior management, and the ability to recruit and retain key employees and other talent and turnover due to macroeconomic trends; the impact of widespread health developments, and responses to such developments, which could materially and adversely affect demand for electric services, customers' ability to pay, supply chains, personnel, contract counterparties, liquidity, and financial markets; failure to achieve the Company's greenhouse gas emission goals or being perceived to have either failed to act responsibly with respect to the environment or effectively responded to legislative requirements concerning greenhouse gas emission reductions; acts of war, terrorism or civil disruption; changes in financial or regulatory accounting principles or policies imposed by governing bodies; and increases to operating costs that could result from changes to trade tariffs, rising inflation, and volatility in interest rates.
