    • First quarter financial results reflect unusual mild winter weather and lower residential and commercial seasonal usage
    • Industrial customer demand grew 10% quarter-over-quarter, driven by continued growth from data center and high tech customers
    • Reaffirming 2026 adjusted earnings guidance of $3.33 to $3.53 per diluted share

    PORTLAND, Ore., May 1, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Portland General Electric Company (NYSE:POR) today reported net income based on generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) of $45 million, or $0.38 per diluted share, for the first quarter of 2026. After adjusting for the impact of regulatory deferral adjustments related to the January 2024 storm and 2024 reliability contingency event and business transformation, optimization and acquisition expenses, 2026 non-GAAP net income was $68 million, or $0.58 per diluted share. This compares with GAAP net income of $100 million, or $0.91 per diluted share, for the first quarter 2025.

    "We are focused on disciplined execution as we move through the year," said Maria Pope, PGE President and CEO. "Strong operational performance and cost control are allowing us to navigate the impact of an unusually mild winter."

    First Quarter 2026 Earnings Compared to First Quarter 2025 Earnings

    On a GAAP basis, total revenues increased due to higher cost recovery. Total energy demand was flat to 2025, with variances between customer classes largely offsetting. Purchased power and fuel expense increased due to less favorable wholesale and environmental credit market conditions and due to the regulatory adjustment related to the January 2024 reliability contingency event deferral. Operations and maintenance expense increased due to the regulatory adjustment related to the January 2024 storm recovery deferral and business transformation and acquisition expenses. Depreciation and interest expense increased due to ongoing capital investment. Income tax increased due to the timing of production tax credit recognition.

    Additional Company Updates

    Washington Acquisition Update

    On March 30, PGE and PacifiCorp submitted a joint application with the Washington Utility and Transportation (WUTC) Commission seeking approval of PGE's proposed acquisition of PacifiCorp's Washington utility operations.

    On April 2, PGE submitted an application with the Public Utility Commission of Oregon (OPUC) for the proposed Washington acquisition.

    The transaction is expected to consummate approximately twelve months after submission of regulatory filings, subject to customary closing conditions and regulatory approvals. PGE anticipates the transaction closing in 2027.

    Quarterly Dividend

    As previously announced, on April 24, 2026, the board of directors of Portland General Electric Company approved a quarterly common stock dividend of 55.125 cents per share. The quarterly dividend is payable on or before July 15, 2026 to shareholders of record at the close of business on June 25, 2026.

    2026 Earnings Guidance

    PGE is reaffirming its estimate for full-year 2026 adjusted earnings guidance of $3.33 to $3.53 per diluted share based on the following assumptions:

    • An increase in energy deliveries between 1.5% and 2.5%, weather adjusted;
    • Execution of power cost and financing plans;
    • Execution of operating cost management plan;
    • Normal temperatures in its utility service area for the remainder of the year;
    • 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 $810 million and $830 million which includes approximately $150 million of wildfire, vegetation management, deferral amortization and other expenses that are offset in other income statement lines and $26 million of business transformation, optimization and acquisition expenses and $4 million of regulatory deferral adjustments related to the January 2024 storm and 2024 reliability contingency event;
    • Depreciation and amortization expense between $570 million and $590 million;
    • Effective tax rate of 15% to 20%;
    • Cash from operations of $1,000 to $1,200 million;
    • Capital expenditures of $1,655 million; an
    • Average construction work in progress balance of $830 million.

    First Quarter 2026 Earnings Call and Webcast — May 1, 2026

    PGE will host a conference call with financial analysts and investors on Friday, May 1, 2026, at 11 a.m. ET. The conference call will be webcast live on the PGE website at investors.portlandgeneral.com. A webcast replay will also be available on PGE's investor website "Events & Presentations" page beginning at 2 p.m. ET on May 1, 2026.

    Maria Pope, President and CEO; Joe Trpik, Senior Vice President of Finance and CFO; and Erin Schwartz, Senior Manager of Investor Relations, will participate in the call. Management will respond to questions following formal comments.

    2025 Purpose and Progress Report

    On March 17, PGE released its 2025 Purpose and Progress Report, which provides insight into how PGE is managing its carbon footprint, supporting its workforce and local communities, and maintaining ethical leadership and accountability. The report also highlights the Company's clean energy performance in 2025, with non-emitting resources making up 46% of PGE's energy mix.

    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 an alternative measure of the Company's comparative earnings per share and enables investors to evaluate the Company's operating financial performance trends, exclusive of items that are not normally associated with ongoing operations. 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-cash charge related to final orders on the January 2024 storm and damage and 2024 Reliability Contingency Event regulatory deferrals
    • Business transformation and optimization expenses, including strategic advisory, workforce realignment, corporate structure update costs and Washington acquisition related expenses including legal, financing and strategic advisory costs.

    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 quarters ended March 31, 2026 is below.
