Earnings Call Q1 2026

May 8, 2026 - AI Summary

Earnings + 2026 outlook reaffirmed (core positive): - Reported Q1 2026 GAAP EPS of $0.60 vs $0.56 in Q1 2025; ongoing (adjusted) earnings EPS of $0.63 (includes $0.03 of special items). - Reaffirmed 2026 ongoing earnings guidance: $1.90–$1.98 EPS (midpoint $1.94) and indicated strong start toward at least the midpoint. - Key Q1 drivers: higher Kentucky base-rate recovery and higher transmission revenues from added capital, partly offset by higher depreciation and financing costs.
Planned investment + growth targets (good visibility): - On track for ~$5.1B planned investments in 2026 supporting reliability/affordability. - Long-term plan reaffirmed: ~$23B capital investment through 2029, implying ~10.3% average annual rate base growth. - Long-term financial targets reiterated: 6%–8% annual EPS growth through at least 2029 (expected near upper end), and dividend growth target of 4%–6%.
Major regulatory milestones by state (mixed but actionable): - Pennsylvania (PPL Electric) distribution base rate case: settlement with most intervenors; bill increases <4% across all customer classes, delivery rates among the lowest in the state; two-year stay-out after new rates. - ALJ recommended approval April 17; PUC final decision expected by June, new rates effective July 1. - Settlement also includes affordability supports (hardship credits, remove reconnection fees, streamline deposits, low-income weatherization budget, etc.). - Kentucky (LG&E & KU): reconsideration granted for limited issues; intervenor requests denied. Additional discovery scheduled to conclude May 22, with potential decision in Q3. - Rhode Island (Electric & Gas ISR): approved $330M+ of infrastructure investments; recovery began April 1 with rider recovery to reduce lag; strong storm performance cited.
