Portland General Electric Announces First Quarter 2024 Results
•First quarter results reflect continued strong semiconductor and data center demand growth
•Clearwater Wind Development placed into service in January, providing geographic resource diversity and 311 MW of clean energy generation to customers
•Reaffirming 2024 adjusted earnings guidance of $2.98 to $3.18 per diluted share
PORTLAND, Ore. -- Portland General Electric Company (NYSE: POR) today reported net income based on generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) of $109 million, or $1.08 per diluted share, for the first quarter of 2024. After adjusting for the impact of the January 2024 storm, first quarter 2024 non-GAAP net income was $123 million, or $1.21 per diluted share. This compares with GAAP net income of $74 million, or $0.80 per diluted share, for the first quarter of 2023.
“Our results this quarter speak to strong execution and robust semiconductor and data center growth, underscoring the importance of Portland General Electric’s commitment to investments in grid resilience,” said Maria Pope, PGE President and CEO. “The PGE team navigated extreme winter storms and energy market conditions early in the first quarter and, as we look ahead, we remain focused on advancing plans to meet the growing needs of our customers.”
First Quarter 2024 Compared to First Quarter 2023
Total revenues increased due to demand growth from semiconductor and digital customers and recovery of capital, operating and power costs, partially offset by lower residential and commercial usage. Purchased power and fuel expense increased primarily due to unfavorable market conditions during severe weather events during the quarter. Operating and administrative expenses increased due to higher generation maintenance, vegetation management, wildfire mitigation, and service restoration costs. Depreciation and amortization expense and interest expense increased due to ongoing capital investment.
Company Updates
Clearwater Wind Development
Clearwater Wind Development, a 311 MW wind project, was placed in-service in January 2024. This resource, located in eastern Montana, is complementary to generation in Oregon and Washington. The project is expected to deliver higher levels of production during the winter and summer, allowing PGE to serve Oregon customers with reliable, clean energy at reduced energy costs, capturing the benefits of regional diversity.

2025 General Rate Case Update
On February 29, 2024, PGE filed with the OPUC a general rate case based on a 2025 test year (2025 GRC). Regulatory review of the 2025 GRC will continue throughout 2024, with issuance of a final order by the OPUC expected by the end of the year, with new prices effective January 1, 2025.
Extended Day Ahead Market
On March 21, 2024, PGE announced plans to join the California Independent System Operator’s (CAISO) Extended Day-Ahead Market (EDAM) to help lower power costs, increase resilience and access more clean energy sources from across the West. The EDAM is expected to begin operating in 2026 and PGE anticipates gross energy cost savings between $6 million and $18 million annually, depending on the final number of EDAM participants.
2023 Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) Report
In March, PGE released its 2023 ESG Report, the annual report showcases PGE’s progress to support resilient energy ecosystems, thriving communities and good governance. This report outlines PGE’s commitment to advancing environmental, social and governance values core to our business.
Quarterly Dividend
As previously announced, on April 19, 2024, the board of directors of Portland General Electric Company approved a quarterly common stock dividend of $0.50 per share. The quarterly dividend is payable on or before July 15, 2024 to shareholders of record at the close of business on June 24, 2024.
2024 Earnings Guidance
PGE is reaffirming its estimate for 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 Reliability Contingency Event (RCE) costs and non-deferred incremental storm restoration costs;
•An increase in energy deliveries of 2% to 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 $1,340 million; and
•Average construction work in progress balance of $795 million.

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:
•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 quarter ended March 31, 2024 are below.
