NEWARK, N.J., Feb. 26, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Public Service Enterprise Group (PSEG) reported 2020 Net Income of $1,905 million, or $3.76 per share, compared to Net Income of $1,693 million, or $3.33 per share for 2019. Non-GAAP Operating Earnings for 2020 were $1,741 million, or $3.43 per share, compared to $1,666 million, or $3.28 per share for 2019. Non-GAAP Operating Earnings for the full-year 2020 exclude items shown in Attachments 8 and 9. 

PSEG also reported Net Income for the fourth quarter of 2020 of $431 million, or $0.85 per share.  This compares to Net Income of $437 million, or $0.86 per share in 2019's fourth quarter. Non-GAAP Operating Earnings for the fourth quarter of 2020 were $329 million compared to fourth quarter 2019 non-GAAP Operating Earnings of $330 million. Non-GAAP results for the fourth quarter of 2020 exclude items shown in Attachments 8 and 9.

"We are pleased to report that PSEG posted strong operating and financial results for the fourth quarter, and our full-year 2020 non-GAAP Operating Earnings rose by 4.6% over 2019 results. I am particularly proud of the achievements of our employees during a year that was one of the most challenging in recent memory. Over a longer horizon, our 2020 financial performance also marked the 16th consecutive year that PSEG has delivered results within management's original earnings guidance," said Ralph Izzo, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer. PSEG is making steady progress on several business priorities, and on our strategy to become primarily a regulated utility with contracted generation, comprised of our zero carbon nuclear fleet and recent announcement regarding New Jersey offshore wind through our partnership with Ørsted North America. 

For 2020, PSE&G contributed over 75% of consolidated full-year non-GAAP Operating Earnings.  PSE&G has successfully initiated the majority of our landmark Clean Energy Future program following settlements covering nearly $2 billion of investments in energy efficiency, smart meter installations and electric vehicle infrastructure that will enhance the state's environmental profile for years to come. PSE&G executed on the full $2.7 billion of its broader planned capital spending program in 2020, providing continued critical investment to support the New Jersey economy and preserving essential jobs, all while replacing vital energy infrastructure that generates customer benefits of improved reliability and resiliency, as well as methane reduction. Regarding weather normalized sales, while total electric sales volumes declined by 2%, gas sales rose by 1%, and in both cases, higher residential usage largely offset declines in commercial and industrial sales, resulting in stable margins overall.

PSEG Power is also on-track with the asset sale processes tied to the exploration of strategic alternatives for its non-nuclear generating fleet, and has received initial indications of interest on both its solar and fossil portfolios. In addition, this June, PSEG Power will become a coal-free generating fleet upon the retirement of Bridgeport Harbor Unit 3.  PSEG Nuclear recently concluded public hearings at the New Jersey Board of Public Utilities (BPU) regarding its application to extend the Zero Emission Certificate (ZEC) program for a second three-year period (from June 2022 through May 2025) at the existing $10/MWh level. A BPU decision, expected in late April, will determine eligibility and the amount of the attribute payment for the Salem 1 & 2 and Hope Creek units to recognize the carbon free output of their 3,400 MWs of baseload nuclear generation. Each of these actions serve to further PSEG's already strong ESG leadership position.     

The recent action by the Board of Directors to increase the common dividend by $0.08 to the indicative annual rate of $2.04 per share for 2021 demonstrates our confidence in the durability of PSEG's growth strategy and commitment to financial discipline. 

The following tables provide a reconciliation of PSEG's Net Income to non-GAAP Operating Earnings for the full year and the fourth quarter. See Attachments 8 and 9 for a complete list of items excluded from Net Income in the determination of non-GAAP Operating Earnings.

Comparison of 2020 to 2019 quarterly non-GAAP results per share is impacted by rounding to sum to year-to-date totals and does not reflect an actual increase quarter over quarter.


Ralph Izzo went on to say, "For 2021, we are introducing non-GAAP Operating Earnings guidance of $3.35 - $3.55 per share, with PSE&G expected to contribute over 80% of consolidated earnings at the mid-point of guidance.  Going forward, we expect that PSE&G will represent 80-90% of PSEG's Operating Earnings, with a growing percentage of the remaining balance being zero-carbon, contracted generation.  For PSEG Power, over 70% of its 2021 gross margin has been secured via energy hedges, capacity revenues established in prior auctions, Zero Emission Certificates and ancillary service payments.

PSEG has updated its 5-year capital spending forecast to $14 billion - $16 billion for the 2021-2025 period.  This update includes nearly $2 billion of recently approved investments from our Clean Energy Future program and the expected extension of the Gas System Modernization and Energy Efficiency programs at their average annual investment levels during the last two years of the period.  Approximately 90%, or $13 billion - $15 billion, of this capital program will be directed to PSE&G, which is expected to produce 6.5% to 8% compound annual growth in rate base over the five-year period, starting from a year-end 2020 rate base of $22 billion.  We also expect that our strong cash flow will enable us to fund the entire $14 - $16 billion, 5-year capital spending program – as well as our planned offshore wind investments during the 2021-2025 period – without the need to issue new equity.

As we continue to plan for the responsible re-entry of our employees to our facilities, currently targeted for this July, I would like to thank our dedicated employees for their professionalism, persistence and flexibility over the past year.  Whether responding to a myriad of COVID-19 challenges or their excellent, injury free response to the February 2021 nor'easter, PSEG employees across our organization have embodied operational excellence as they provide our New Jersey and Long Island customers with reliable, essential energy services."  

The following table outlines PSEG's 2020 non-GAAP Operating Earnings by subsidiary and expectations for 2021.  PSEG's 2021 full-year guidance for consolidated results of $3.35 to $3.55 per share remains at a consistent $0.20 band, as provided in recent years.  The subsidiary guidance ranges are wider, to allow for variability by business, as they are often offset in consolidated results.

PSE&G's Net Income for the fourth quarter 2020 increased by $0.04 per share from the year earlier quarter.  For the full-year, PSE&G Net Income increased by $0.16 per share, or 6.5%, compared with 2019 results. For the fourth quarter of 2020, continued growth in utility earnings resulting from investments in Transmission added $0.02 per share versus the 2019 fourth quarter. Gas margin was $0.02 per share favorable, reflecting GSMP roll-ins and higher weather normalized volume. Electric margin was flat compared to the fourth quarter of 2019, as higher weather normalized volumes were offset by lower demand.  Mild temperatures during the quarter had a negative $0.03 per share impact. Operating and maintenance expense was flat versus fourth quarter 2019. Higher distribution depreciation expense of $0.01 per share offset lower pension expense of $0.01 per share in the quarter. Taxes and other were $0.03 per share favorable – partly reversing the negative $0.07 per share impact that the timing of taxes had on third-quarter 2020 Net Income.    

For the full year, PSE&G's weather normalized residential electric sales increased by 5.6%, but a larger decline in commercial sales resulted in total electric sales down by 2%. Total weather normalized gas sales were up 1.2% for 2020, led by a 4.9% increase in residential use partially offset by a smaller decline in the commercial and industrial segment.   

In January 2021, the BPU authorized a $707 million investment in PSE&G's CEF-Energy Cloud (smart meter) program and a $166 million investment in Electric Vehicle charging infrastructure. These approvals, combined with the BPU's landmark approval of the $1 billion CEF-Energy Efficiency program last September, represent the vast majority of the Clean Energy Future filing PSE&G proposed to help realize New Jersey's clean energy goals outlined in the state's Clean Energy Act and Energy Master Plan. The balance of the CEF filing, energy storage and remaining EV programs, will be addressed in future stakeholder proceedings. 

In 2020 PA Consulting recognized PSE&G with the ReliabilityOne® Award, for the 19th year in a row, as the Most Reliable Electric Utility in the Mid-Atlantic region, and their 2020 Outstanding Customer Engagement Award.

PSE&G's Net Income for 2021 is forecasted at $1,410 million - $1,470 million and reflects an assumed reduction of our transmission formula rate during the year, as well as incremental investment in T&D infrastructure and energy efficiency.

PSEG Power reported non-GAAP Operating Earnings of $0.10 per share for the fourth quarter 2020, unchanged from the fourth quarter of 2019.  A scheduled increase in PSEG Power's average capacity prices in PJM for the second half of 2020 and higher gas operations results improved non-GAAP Operating Earnings comparisons by $0.04 and $0.01 per share, respectively, compared to the fourth quarter of 2019.  However, lower generation output and lower market prices reduced non-GAAP Operating Earnings by a total of $0.08 per share versus the year-ago quarter.  A decline in O&M expense in the quarter improved results by $0.01 per share and reflects the absence of the Hope Creek refueling outage from the fourth quarter of 2019.  The extension of the Peach Bottom nuclear operating licenses (to 2053/2054) contributed to lower depreciation expense of $0.01 per share, and lower taxes improved non-GAAP Operating Earnings by $0.01 over the year-ago quarter.   

Output from PSEG Power's generating facilities declined by 9% in fourth quarter 2020 compared with fourth quarter 2019.  The lower generation levels reflect planned outages at Fossil and an extended outage at the Salem 1 nuclear unit during the quarter.  Full-year 2020 output of 53 TWh came in above our 50 – 52 TWh forecast.  The nuclear fleet operated at an average capacity factor of 78.9% in the quarter and 90.3% for the full year, and produced nearly 31 TWh of zero carbon, base load power.  The CCGT fleet operated at an average capacity factor of approximately 46.2% in the quarter and 48.3% for the full year, and generated production of approximately 22 TWh in 2020.  The three newest combined cycle generating units posted an average capacity factor of over 75% for the full-year 2020.  In June 2021, Power will complete the planned early retirement of its 383 MW coal-fired Bridgeport Harbor 3 generating station, resulting in a coal-free fleet.      

For 2021, PSEG Power has hedged approximately 90%-95% of its expected output of 48 to 50 TWh at an average price of $32 per MWh, which represents an approximately $2 per MWh decline from 2020.  In addition, 2021 average hedge prices no longer include cost based transmission charges of approximately $3 per MWh in Basic Generation Service revenues as of February 1, 2021. 

For 2021, non-GAAP Operating Earnings and non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA at PSEG Power are forecast to be $280 million - $370 million and $850 million - $950 million, respectively.   PSEG Power segment guidance for 2021 reflects a full year of fossil and solar operations, lower expected generation volume and lower market prices, as well as the absence of one-time tax benefits realized in 2020.

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 returns (losses) associated with the Nuclear Decommissioning Trust (NDT), Mark-to-Market (MTM) accounting and material one-time items.

Management believes the presentation of non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA for PSEG Power is useful to investors and other users of our financial statements in evaluating operating performance because it provides them with an additional tool to compare business performance across companies and across periods. Management also believes that non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA is widely used by investors to measure operating performance without regard to items such as income tax expense, interest expense and depreciation and amortization, which can vary substantially from company to company depending upon, among other things, the book value of assets, capital structure and whether assets were constructed or acquired. Non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA also allows investors and other users to assess the underlying financial performance of our fleet before management's decision to deploy capital. Non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA excludes the same items as our non-GAAP Operating Earnings measure as well as income tax expense, interest expense and depreciation and amortization.

See Attachments 8 and 9 for a complete list of items excluded from Net Income in the determination of non-GAAP Operating Earnings and non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA. The presentation of non-GAAP Operating Earnings and non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA 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 and non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA as presented in this release may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies.

Due to the forward looking nature of non-GAAP Operating Earnings and non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA guidance, PSEG is unable to reconcile these non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure. Management is unable to project certain reconciling items, in particular MTM and NDT gains (losses), for future periods due to market volatility.

*Winter weather as defined by heating degree days (HDD) to serve as a measure for the need for heating. For each day, HDD is calculated as HDD = 65°F – the average hourly daily temperature. Summer weather is measured by the temperature-humidity index (THI), which takes into account both the temperature and the humidity to measure the need for air conditioning. Both measures use data provided by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration based on readings from Newark Airport. Comparisons to normal are based on twenty-years of historic data.
