Third Quarter 2025 Highlights PSEG's solid third quarter and year-to-date operating and financial results reflect the expected incremental impact of new rates from the October 2024 base rate case settlement for the full quarter and higher power pricing for the year-to-date period. Our results through the first nine months enable us to narrow our 2025 non-GAAP Operating Earnings guidance to the upper half of the range at $4.00 to $4.06 per share, from $3.94 to $4.06 per share prior. Regulated investment was approximately $1 billion in the quarter and $2.7 billion over the first nine months of 2025 as part of our planned $3.8 billion capital spending program focused on replacing and modernizing New Jersey's energy infrastructure, meeting load growth, and expanding energy efficiency programs that lower energy demand and customer bills. PSEG Nuclear supplied the grid with 7.9 TWh of reliable, carbon-free baseload energy in the third quarter, while providing PSEG with the financial flexibility to fund our regulated investments. Our 100%-owned Hope Creek unit completed a breaker-to-breaker run, operating for 499 continuous days since its last refueling outage, and recently completed work to extend its fuel cycle from 18 to 24 months, positioning the unit to produce more megawatt hours going forward. The Long Island Power Authority Board of Trustees approved a five-year contract extension of PSEG Long Island as operations service provider for electric service on Long Island and in the Rockaways through 2030. "We continue executing PSEG's growth plan with a focus on operational excellence and rigorous cost discipline to maintain reliability and provide value for our customers.  This summer, however, a growing generation supply-demand imbalance, along with the impact of PJM's capacity market results, which PSE&G passes through to customers, directly caused summer electric bills to rise nearly 20%.  To address the growing resource adequacy imbalance in the mid-Atlantic region, we are actively collaborating with the State and other stakeholders to develop real solutions in New Jersey and ensure we can affordably meet our customers' energy needs.    We are reaffirming PSEG's five-year, non-GAAP Operating Earnings growth outlook of 5% to 7% through 2029 as we continue to pursue opportunities incremental to our long-term forecast, including the potential to contract our nuclear output under multi-year agreements and potential incremental investments to address the near-term need for additional supply due to growing customer demand.  Notably, our solid balance sheet enables the funding of PSEG's five-year capital investment program of $22.5 billion to $26 billion without the need to issue new equity or sell assets and provides the opportunity for consistent and sustainable dividend growth," said Ralph LaRossa, PSEG's chair, president and CEO. PSEG Results by Segment (unaudited) Third Quarter and Nine Months Ended September 30, Comparative Results ($ millions) 3Q 2025 3Q 2024 YTD 2025 YTD 2024 PSE&G Net Income/Non-GAAP Operating Earnings $515 $379 $1,393 $1,169 PSEG Power & Other Net Income 107 141 403 317      Total PSEG Net Income  $622 $520 $1,796 $1,486 PSEG Power & Other Non-GAAP Operating Earnings  $50 $69 $274 $249      Total PSEG Non-GAAP Operating Earnings $565 $448 $1,667 $1,418 PSE&G's results for the third quarter reflect the new electric and gas rates placed into effect last October 15, 2024, following settlement of its first distribution base rate case since 2018 as well as margin from Transmission and Energy Efficiency investments.  Partly offsetting this in the quarter's results was higher expected operation and maintenance costs, as well as higher depreciation and interest expenses driven by Distribution investments. Results for PSEG Power & Other reflect higher nuclear related operation and maintenance costs from the Hope Creek refueling outage and fuel cycle extension work along with lower generation volume, partly offset by higher power pricing.    PSEG will host a conference call to review its third quarter 2025 results, earnings guidance, and other matters with the financial community at 11:00 a.m. ET today.  Please register to access this event by visiting: https://investor.pseg.com/investor-news-and-events About PSEG Public Service Enterprise Group (PSEG) (NYSE: PEG) is a predominantly regulated infrastructure company operating New Jersey's largest transmission and distribution utility, serving approximately 2.4 million electric and 1.9 million natural gas customers.  PSEG also owns an independent fleet of 3,758 MW of carbon-free, baseload nuclear power generating units in NJ and PA. Guided by its Powering Progress vision, PSEG aims to power a future where people use less energy, and it's cleaner, safer and delivered more reliably than ever.  PSEG is a member of the S&P 500 Index and has been named to the Dow Jones Sustainability North America Index for 17 consecutive years. PSEG's businesses include Public Service Electric and Gas Co. (PSE&G), PSEG Power and PSEG Long Island (https://corporate.pseg.com). Non-GAAP Financial Measures Management uses non-GAAP Operating Earnings in its internal analysis, and in communications with investors and analysts, as a consistent measure for comparing PSEG's financial performance to previous financial results. Non-GAAP Operating Earnings exclude the impact of gains (losses) associated with the Nuclear Decommissioning Trust (NDT), Mark-to-Market (MTM) accounting and other material infrequent items. See Attachments 8 and 9 for a complete list of items excluded from Net Income in the determination of non-GAAP Operating Earnings. The presentation of non-GAAP Operating Earnings is intended to complement and should not be considered an alternative to the presentation of Net Income, which is an indicator of financial performance determined in accordance with GAAP. In addition, non-GAAP Operating Earnings as presented in this report may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies. Due to the forward-looking nature of non-GAAP Operating Earnings guidance, PSEG is unable to reconcile this non-GAAP financial measure to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure because comparable GAAP measures are not reasonably accessible or reliable due to the inherent difficulty in forecasting and quantifying measures that would be required for such reconciliation. Namely, we are not able to reliably project without unreasonable effort MTM and NDT gains (losses), for future periods due to market volatility. These items are uncertain, depend on various factors, and may have a material impact on our future GAAP results.
