Full-year 2023 GAAP basis financial results of $2.33 per diluted share; full-year 2023 non-GAAP basis adjusted financial results of $2.38 per diluted share
Initiating 2024 adjusted earnings guidance of $2.98 to $3.18 per diluted share and reaffirming 5% to 7% long-term earnings per share growth using 2022 non-GAAP adjusted base year

PORTLAND, Ore., Feb. 16, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Portland General Electric Company (NYSE:POR) today reported net income based on generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) of $228 million, or $2.33 per diluted share, for the year ended December 31, 2023, which includes the $0.05 per diluted share Boardman revenue requirement settlement charge resulting from the Oregon Public Utility Commission's (OPUC) 2022 General Rate Case (GRC) Final Order. After adjusting for the impact of the Boardman revenue requirement settlement charge, 2023 non-GAAP net income was $233 million, or $2.38 per diluted share.

This compares with GAAP net income of $233 million, or $2.60 per diluted share, for the year ended December 31, 2022, which includes the $0.14 per diluted share Wildfire and COVID deferral reversal charge resulting from the OPUC 2022 GRC Final Order deferral earnings test. After adjusting for the impact of the deferral reversal charge, 2022 non-GAAP net income was $245 million, or $2.74 per diluted share.

GAAP net income was $68 million, or $0.67 per diluted share, for the fourth quarter of 2023. This compares with GAAP net income of $50 million, or $0.56 per diluted share, for the fourth quarter of 2022.

"While our 2023 results were impacted by challenging operating conditions and power market volatility, we achieved important milestones that reduce risk and solidify our long-term growth trajectory," said Maria Pope, PGE President and CEO. "Looking ahead, we are well-positioned to execute to meet increasing customer needs, enable the clean energy transition and strengthen our resilience to extreme weather."

2023 Year in Review

Key strategic accomplishments in 2023 included:

Invested $1,462 million in capital assets to address decarbonization, customer demand growth, grid resiliency and security, and risk mitigation;
Filed the 2023 Integrated Resource Plan, which was acknowledged by the OPUC in January 2024;
Entered into agreements for 475 MW of battery storage, 275 MW of which PGE will own, and 500 MW of hydropower contracts to improve grid flexibility and reliability;
Advanced construction of the Clearwater Wind Development, bringing 311 MW of non-emitting energy online in January 2024;
Submitted 16 federal grant applications and have been awarded eight grants totaling $314 million;
Concluded the 2024 General Rate Case (GRC), which resulted in a $742 million, or 14%, increase in rate base, a provision to recover certain costs for Reliability Contingency Events, established a balancing account for PGE's routine vegetation management expenses, and updates to PGE's Income Qualified Bill Discount program.

2023 Earnings Compared to 2022 Earnings

Total revenues increased due to higher demand from high-tech and digital customers and increased recovery of power costs, partially offset by lower residential and commercial usage;
Net variable power costs increased due to the increase in average variable power costs primarily from the impacts of mild weather on renewable production, and higher system load;
Operating and administrative expenses, net of deferral related items, increased slightly due to higher generation maintenance and grid resiliency costs, offset by lower administrative expenses from continued cost management actions;
Depreciation and amortization and interest expense increased due to higher asset balances and higher long-term debt balances as a result of ongoing capital investment;
Taxes other than income taxes increased due to higher property taxes;
Other income increased as a result of increases in the value of the non-qualified benefit plan trust assets and higher other regulatory interest income, partially offset by a prior year settlement gain on a benefit plan; and
Income tax expense increased primarily driven by lower research and development tax credit benefits.

2024 Earnings Guidance

PGE is initiating full-year 2024 adjusted earnings guidance of $2.98 to $3.18 per diluted share based on the following assumptions:

Exclusion of the impacts of the January 2024 winter storm, including non-deferrable storm restoration costs and non-deferrable Reliability Contingency Event (RCE) costs;
An increase in energy deliveries between 2% and 3%, weather adjusted;
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 $815 million and $840 million which includes approximately $165 million of wildfire, vegetation management, deferral amortization and other expenses that are offset in other income statement lines;
Depreciation and amortization expense between $475 million and $525 million;
Effective tax rate of 10% to 15%;
Cash from operations of $700 to $800 million;
Capital expenditures of $1,310 million; and
Average construction work in progress balance of $720 million.

Company Updates

Resource Planning and 2023 All-Source Request for Proposal Update

In Q1 2023, PGE filed with the OPUC its first combined Integrated Resource Plan (IRP) and Clean Energy Plan (CEP), which articulates the Company's strategy to meet the 2030, 2035, and 2040 emission reduction targets, as mandated by Oregon law, through an equitable transition to a decarbonized grid. PGE currently estimates a total resource need of approximately 3,500 to 4,500 MW of renewable energy and non-emitting capacity in order to meet the Company's 2030 emissions reduction target. Through the 2021 All-Source RFP, PGE procured 311 MW of wind resources and 475 MW of capacity, leaving a remaining need to procure of approximately 2,700 to 3,700 MW.

On January 25, 2024 the OPUC acknowledged PGE's IRP, subject to certain conditions, providing regulatory support for PGE to pursue the near-term resource additions articulated in the Action Plan. PGE issued the RFP to market on February 2, 2024, seeking bids for resources that can provide non-emitting dispatchable capacity and renewable generation. PGE will accept and evaluate bids during the first quarter of 2024 and present a shortlist for acknowledgment to the OPUC later in the year.

2024 Wildfire Mitigation Plan

On December 29, 2023, PGE submitted to the OPUC the 2024 Wildfire Mitigation Plan (WMP) which outlines PGE's approach to wildfire risk mitigation and guides PGE's Wildfire Mitigation Program. The 2024 WMP forecasts $45 million in operations and maintenance costs and an additional $43 to $49 million in capital investments to continue system hardening efforts, expand situational awareness capabilities, implement specific inspection and maintenance, vegetation management, community and customer awareness, operational actions within High Fire Risk Zones, and other wildfire mitigation activities.

Quarterly Dividend

As previously announced, on February 9, 2024, the board of directors of Portland General Electric Company approved a quarterly common stock dividend of $0.475 per share. The quarterly dividend is payable on or before April 15, 2024 to shareholders of record at the close of business on March 22, 2024.

Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2023 Earnings Call and Webcast — Feb. 16, 2024

PGE will host a conference call with financial analysts and investors on Friday, February 16, 2024, 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 February 16, 2024.

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.

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:

Boardman revenue requirement settlement charge associated with the year ended 2020, resulting from the OPUC's 2022 GRC Final Order.
Non-cash Wildfire and COVID deferral reversal charge associated with the year ended 2020, resulting from the OPUC's 2022 GRC Final Order deferral earnings test.

Items impacting 2024 earnings guidance, which PGE believes impact the comparability of comparative earnings and do not represent ongoing operating financial performance, include the following:

Non-deferrable storm restoration costs and non-deferrable Reliability Contingency Event (RCE) costs resulting from the January 2024 winter storm

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 years ended December 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022 are below.

Non-GAAP Earnings Reconciliation for the year ended December 31, 2023
