"PSEG delivered a solid operating and financial performance to begin the year," said Ralph LaRossa, PSEG's chair, president and CEO. "Our teams across PSE&G and PSEG Power successfully responded to multiple extreme weather events during the first quarter. These included the worst winter storm to hit our service territory in the past 30 years and several days of single digit temperatures that prompted our highest gas send-out since 2019. PSEG's investments in critical energy infrastructure and our dedicated workforce that worked tirelessly to restore service in frigid conditions proved to be the key factors in our ability to deliver best-in-class storm response and reliability."
"PSEG has worked with the Governor's Office and the New Jersey Board of Public Utilities to keep electric rates flat in 2026, in keeping with Governor Sherrill's Executive Orders 1 & 2 addressing utility costs and generation supply. PSE&G rates will also benefit from the update to reflect the latest Basic Generation Service auction results effective on June 1. On February 1 st, we also kept our residential natural gas rate flat for the remainder of the 2025-2026 winter heating season, providing our customers with the lowest gas bills in New Jersey and in the region. PSEG Nuclear also had a strong first quarter, supplying 8 TWh of reliable, carbon-free baseload energy to New Jersey and the grid."
LaRossa added, "We continue to execute on our long-term strategy to grow PSEG's non-GAAP Operating Earnings by a compound annual rate of 6% to 8% through 2030 – without the need to issue new equity or sell assets – which remains a core differentiator from our peers."

PSE&G's results for the first quarter reflect ongoing investments in Energy Efficiency, Gas System Modernization and Transmission; the seasonality of gas demand during the winter months; and the continued, gradual increase in the number of electric and gas customers. These results were partially offset by higher operation and maintenance costs as well as higher depreciation and interest expense related to incremental investments.
PSEG Power & Other results for the quarter reflect higher realized prices and lower operation and maintenance costs, partly offset by lower generating volume and the absence of zero emission certificates.
PSEG will host a conference call to review its first quarter 2026 results, 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. Operating Earnings is a non-GAAP financial measure that differs from Net Income. 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 7 and 8 for a complete list of items excluded from Net Income 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.
