NEWARK, N.J., Feb. 26, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Public Service Enterprise Group (NYSE: PEG) reported the following results for the full year and fourth quarter 2025:

"PSEG closed 2025 with a solid operating and financial performance as results for the fourth quarter represented the high end of our narrowed full year guidance provided in November.  PSEG's full year results were achieved while facing multiple severe storms and extreme weather events throughout the year that stressed our electric and gas systems, during which PSE&G demonstrated excellent operating performance in safety, reliability and customer satisfaction measures.  Furthermore, on the customer front, we implemented the Summer Relief Initiative in cooperation with New Jersey regulators and policymakers to help our customers manage the impact of last summer's rise in PJM-related electric supply costs.  On the generating side, PSEG Nuclear posted a 91.2% capacity factor for the full year, producing 24x7, carbon-free baseload power for the grid during the intense June 2025 heatwave when New Jersey needed it most," said Ralph LaRossa, chair, president and CEO of PSEG.  

LaRossa added, "As we begin 2026, I am proud of the work PSEG is doing in support of New Jersey's efforts to minimize utility rate increases.  The latest example of these efforts occurred on February 1, when PSE&G held its residential gas rate flat for the remainder of the 2025/2026 winter heating season.  Extending the stability of our gas rates further highlights PSE&G's favorable residential gas bill profile, which is not only the lowest cost in the state but in the region.  We are also continuing to work with policymakers to address the resource adequacy imbalance in New Jersey and are confident in our ability to maintain system reliability as we invest in critical energy infrastructure to deliver value to our customers and meet our shareholder growth expectations. 

Consistent with delivering on expectations, PSEG's full year 2025 financial results mark the 21^st consecutive year that the company has delivered non-GAAP Operating Earnings at or above management's earnings guidance.  Our solid balance sheet supports the continued execution of PSEG's strategy to grow our businesses without the need to issue new equity or sell assets, while providing the opportunity for consistent and sustainable dividend growth.  Earlier today, PSEG reported that our Board of Directors raised the 2026 common dividend – by $0.16 per share, or approximately 6% – to the indicative annual rate of $2.68 per share.  This increase reflects our confidence in PSEG's growth opportunities and is the 15^th consecutive year that PSEG has raised its dividend, extending our track record of providing a shareholder dividend to 119 years."

2025 Highlights

• PSE&G invested approximately $1 billion in regulated infrastructure during the fourth quarter and $3.7 billion for the full year for the benefit of customers.
• PSE&G implemented the 2025 Summer Relief Initiative to help manage customer bills.
• PSE&G obtained regulatory approval to replace cast iron and bare steel gas main through the three-year Gas System Modernization Program III (GSMP), covering $1.4 billion of infrastructure investment to further lower methane emissions.
• PSEG Nuclear supplied the grid with 30.9 terawatt hours (TWh) of reliable, carbon-free baseload energy.
• PSEG Nuclear's 100%-owned Hope Creek unit extended its fuel cycle from 18 to 24 months.
• The Long Island Power Authority Board of Trustees approved a five-year contract extension with PSEG Long Island through 2030.
• PSE&G received the 2025 ReliabilityOne® Awards for Outstanding System Resiliency; Outstanding Customer Engagement; and for the 24^th year in a row, Outstanding Reliability Performance in the Mid-Atlantic Region.
• PSE&G ranked #1 in Customer Satisfaction among Large Electric Utilities in the East Region according to the J.D. Power 2025 U.S. Electric Utility Residential Customer Satisfaction Study, marking the fourth consecutive year PSE&G earned the top position in its segment.
• PSEG Long Island ranked #1 in Customer Satisfaction among Large Electric Utilities in the East Region according to the J.D. Power 2025 U.S. Electric Utility Business Customer Satisfaction Study, capping an 11-year rise from the bottom of the rankings since PSEG Long Island took over operation of the electric grid.

2026 Outlook

• PSEG initiated full year 2026 non-GAAP Operating Earnings guidance in the range of $4.28 to $4.40 per share, an increase at the midpoint of over 7% above 2025 results.
• Regulated investments are expected to total ~$4.2 billion in 2026, up ~13.5% from 2025.
• PSEG's 2026-2030 capital spending plan of $24 billion to $28 billion consists of $22.5 billion to $25.5 billion of regulated investments.
• PSE&G's 2026-2030 capital investment plan is expected to produce compound annual growth in rate base of 6% to 7.5%, starting from a year end 2025 balance of approximately $36 billion, an increase of approximately 7% over year end 2024.
• PSEG is updating its long-term outlook for compound annual growth in non-GAAP Operating Earnings to 6% to 8% through 2030 based on the higher midpoint of 2026 guidance, rebasing higher for the second year in a row.
• PSEG's long-term earnings outlook is supported by our updated capital spending plan and projected rate base growth, continued stringent cost control, as well as our expected nuclear output at anticipated market prices that exceed the nuclear PTC threshold price.
• Earnings growth above our long-term forecast could be achieved through contracts of our nuclear output, including planned additions, and incremental regulated capital investments.
• PSEG raised the 2026 indicative annual common dividend by $0.16 per share to $2.68 per share, the 15^th consecutive annual increase.

PSE&G's results for the fourth quarter reflect higher costs related to operation and maintenance, taxes, and interest and depreciation expense that were partly offset by higher earnings from increased investment in infrastructure replacement and energy efficiency.  For the full year, PSE&G's results reflect the benefit of implementing the remainder of new base rates following the October 2024 electric and gas rate case order, which followed the settlement of PSE&G's first distribution base rate case since 2018, as well as investment in Energy Efficiency, Transmission and GSMP.  During the fourth quarter, PSE&G obtained approval from New Jersey regulators to invest $1.4 billion in GSMP III over a three-year period beginning January 2026.  

PSEG Power & Other Net Loss and non-GAAP Operating Earnings for the quarter reflect higher nuclear-related operation and maintenance costs from the Hope Creek refueling and fuel cycle extension work, higher interest expense, lower generation volume and the absence of zero emission certificates which concluded in May, partly offset by higher capacity revenues and gas operations.  Net Income and non-GAAP Operating Earnings for the full year reflect higher costs related to the Hope Creek refueling outage and fuel cycle extension, as well as higher interest, offset by higher nuclear output (30.9 TWh) that realized prices in excess of the nuclear production tax credit and favorable tax items.  In addition to these variances for the quarter and full year, PSEG Power & Other Net Income (Loss) also reflects lower net losses from non-trading mark-to-market activity and more favorable returns related to the Nuclear Decommissioning Trust.

PSEG will host a conference call to review its fourth quarter and full year 2025 results, 2026 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

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 (Loss) 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.
