Portland General Electric announces second quarter 2019 results

• Filed 2019 Integrated Resource Plan; identified need for 150 MWa renewable resources, energy efficiency, demand response and actions to add more capacity

• Plans to construct an Integrated Operations Center centralizing key resilience and reliability functions

• Maintaining full year 2019 earnings guidance of $2.35-$2.50 per share

PORTLAND, Ore. -- Portland General Electric Company (NYSE: POR)today reported net income of $25 million, or 28 cents per diluted share, for the second quarter of 2019. This compares with net income of $46 million, or 51 cents per diluted share, for the second quarter of 2018.

“This quarter, we navigated challenging regional power markets with significantly lower hydro production and are maintaining full year guidance,” said Maria Pope, PGE president and CEO, “We are also pleased to have filed our Integrated Resource Plan and to announce the construction of an Integrated Operations Center, which will enhance grid safety, resilience and security.”

Q2 2019 earnings compared to Q2 2018 earnings

Net variable power costs were less favorable than the prior year, primarily due to lower wholesale revenues and significantly lower than average hydro production. Higher operating expenses and lower production tax credits were partially offset by an increase in revenue as a result of the 2019 general rate case.

Company Updates

Integrated Resource Plan (IRP)

On July 19, 2019, PGE filed with the Public Utility Commission of Oregon its 2019 IRP including an Action Plan proposing resource actions to undertake through 2025. The Action Plan calls for adding more renewable resources, increased energy efficiency, demand-response, and actions to address capacity needs. A request for proposal (RFP) will be conducted to add new renewable resources by 2023. PGE anticipates a staged process that pursues cost competitive agreements for existing capacity in the region and will address remaining capacity needs with an RFP for non-emitting resources. PGE is considering submission of a benchmark resource for both RFPs and will communicate its decision to submit a benchmark before doing so. PGE expects an Order acknowledging the IRP and Action Plan in early 2020.

Integrated Operations Center (IOC)

PGE will construct an IOC that centralizes key operations and functions in a facility designed for enhanced resilience against seismic, cyber and physical security risks. It is expected to be in service by the end of 2021. Technology within the IOC will enable PGE to better monitor, control, optimize and safely operate the company’s distribution system. It will also maximize the use of carbon-free energy in PGE’s system and enhance overall system reliability.

2019 earnings guidance

PGE is affirming its 2019 guidance of $2.35 to $2.50 per diluted share. This guidance is based on the following assumptions:

• Increase in retail deliveries of 0.5%

• Normal hydro conditions for the remainder of the year based on the current hydro forecast

• Wind generation based on five years of historical levels or forecast studies when historical data is not available

• Normal thermal plant operations

• Depreciation and amortization expense between $400 million and $420 million

• Revised operating and maintenance costs between $600 million and $620 million driven by an increase in distribution costs

Second Quarter 2019 earnings call and webcast — August 2, 2019

PGE will host a conference call with financial analysts and investors on Friday, August 2, 2019, at 11 a.m. ET. The conference call will be webcast live on the PGE website at investors.portlandgeneral.com. A replay of the call will be available beginning at 2 p.m. ET on Friday, August 2, 2019, through 2 p.m. ET on Friday, August 9, 2019.

Maria Pope, president and CEO; Jim Lobdell, senior vice president of Finance, CFO, and treasurer; and Chris Liddle, director, Investor Relations and Treasury, will participate in the call. Management will respond to questions following formal comments.

The attached unaudited condensed consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income, condensed consolidated balance sheets and condensed consolidated statements of cash flows, as well as the supplemental operating statistics, are an integral part of this earnings release.
