NEWARK, N.J., Feb. 24, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Public Service Enterprise Group (PSEG) reported a 2021 Net Loss of $648 million, or $1.29 per share, compared to Net Income of $1,905 million, or $3.76 per share for 2020.  Non-GAAP Operating Earnings for 2021 were $1,853 million, or $3.65 per share, compared to $1,741 million, or $3.43 per share for 2020. 

PSEG also reported Net Income for the fourth quarter of 2021 of $445 million, or $0.88 per share.  This compares to Net Income of $431 million, or $0.85 per share in 2020's fourth quarter.  Non-GAAP Operating Earnings for the fourth quarter of 2021 were $352 million, or $0.69 per share, compared to fourth quarter 2020 non-GAAP Operating Earnings of $329 million, or $0.65 per share.  Non-GAAP results for 2021's fourth quarter and full year exclude items shown in Attachments 8 and 9.

"We are pleased to report strong operating and financial results for 2021, marking the 17th year in a row that PSEG has delivered results within management's original or raised non-GAAP Operating Earnings guidance," said Ralph Izzo, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer.  For 2021, PSE&G Net Income increased by 9% above 2020 results, to $2.85 per share and contributed approximately 80% of PSEG's consolidated non-GAAP Operating Earnings.    

PSEG Power has completed the Fossil sale to ArcLight Capital Partners, LLC, having obtained all required federal and state regulatory approvals.  This closing, in addition to other key priorities achieved during 2021, will contribute to our robust set of opportunities going forward.  We outlined several of these accomplishments at our 2021 Investor Conference, built around a 2022 PSEG business mix that is 90% regulated.  This improved platform has enabled PSEG to provide a multi-year, earnings growth rate of 5% to 7% from the 2022 guidance midpoint to 2025. 

We also announced at last year's investor conference that we would pursue a $500 million share repurchase program.  We have completed half of that program, and intend on executing the remaining $250 million in the near future.  The $0.12 per share increase in the annual common dividend, to the indicative rate of $2.16 per share for 2022, goes into effect in this first quarter and demonstrates our confidence in the durability of PSEG's growth strategy and commitment to financial discipline that has enabled us to pay a common dividend for 115 years and counting. 

We also advanced our Environmental, Social and Governance leadership in 2021 by accelerating and expanding PSEG's climate goals by 20 years to Net Zero 2030 – for our entire operations – and signed onto the U.N.-backed Race to Zero campaign that will validate science-based targets for our Scopes 1, 2 and 3 emission reduction goals.  PSEG Power is ranked among the top ten producers of carbon-free energy in the U.S., and has a coal-free fuel mix.  PSEG was recently named to JUST Capital's 2022 JUST 100 ranking of America's Most Just Companies, and was added to the 2022 Bloomberg Gender-Equality Index."

The following tables provide a reconciliation of PSEG's Net Income/(Loss) 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/(Loss) in the determination of non-GAAP Operating Earnings.

The Net Loss reported for full year 2021 reflects a PSEG Power pre-tax impairment loss of approximately $2.7 billion, taken in connection with the Fossil sale announced in August 2021. 

As previously noted, PSEG's five-year, 2021-2025 capital investment program is estimated to be in a range of $15 billion to $17 billion, with approximately 90%, or $14 billion - $16 billion, allocated to PSE&G.  This plan is expected to produce 6.5% to 8% compound annual growth in rate base over that five-year period. We also expect that our strong cash flow, enhanced financial flexibility and solid investment grade ratings will enable us to fund the $15 billion - $17 billion program – as well as our planned offshore wind investment in Ocean Wind 1 through 2025 – without the need to issue new equity.

The following table outlines PSEG's 2021 non-GAAP Operating Earnings by subsidiary and expectations for 2022.  PSEG is narrowing the range of its existing 2022 full-year guidance for non-GAAP Operating Earnings to $3.35 to $3.55 per share, from the $3.30 to $3.60 per share initiated in September 2021.  The subsidiary guidance ranges for 2022 are narrower, with a slightly higher midpoint at PSE&G that is 6% above 2021 results, and reflects a more predictable earnings profile and improved business mix overall. 

We are providing 2022 non-GAAP Operating Earnings guidance for PSE&G, with an updated description of the remaining business activities for our nuclear generating fleet, investments in regional offshore wind, gas operations, PSEG Long Island contracts, other investments including Kalaeloa, as well as parent financing costs to be described as Carbon-Free, Infrastructure and Other.  Non-GAAP Operating Earnings for Carbon-Free, Infrastructure and Other are forecast at $170 million - $220 million for 2022. 

PSEG's 2022 Operating Earnings guidance excludes results from operations related to the Fossil assets held for sale.  All free cash flow generated from the Fossil units translates to an adjustment in the purchase price paid by ArcLight.

For the full-year 2021, PSE&G Net Income rose by $119 million, or by approximately 9%, compared with 2020 full-year results.  For the fourth quarter of 2021, net Transmission margin was $0.01 per share lower compared with the year-earlier quarter, reflecting the formula rate settlement implemented earlier in 2021, partly offset by growth in rate base and a benefit from O&M timing.  Gas margin was $0.03 per share favorable, reflecting GSMP roll-ins and the implementation of the Conservation Incentive Program (CIP) compared to last fourth quarter.  Electric margin was $0.01 per share higher compared to the fourth quarter of 2020, also reflecting adoption of the CIP.  Operation and maintenance expense was $0.01 per share unfavorable versus the year-earlier quarter.  Higher distribution depreciation expense reduced results by $0.01 per share, reflecting higher plant in service.  Lower pension expense added $0.02 per share versus the year-ago quarter.  Flow through taxes and Other were $0.08 per share unfavorable, reversing similar positive impacts in taxes in second and third quarter 2021 Net Income.

During 2021, the New Jersey Board of Public Utilities (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 approval of the $1 billion CEF-Energy Efficiency (CEF-EE) program in September 2020, represent the vast majority of our Clean Energy Future filing.  The BPU is expected to address the balance of the CEF filing, including medium and heavy-duty electric vehicles and energy storage, in conjunction with future stakeholder proceedings on each of these initiatives. 

PSE&G fully executed on its 2021 planned $2.7 billion electric and gas infrastructure capital spending program to upgrade transmission and distribution facilities, enhance reliability and increase resiliency, and launch its Clean Energy Future programs.  In November 2021, PSEG filed for approval of an Infrastructure Advancement Program (IAP) with the BPU.  The IAP proposes an $848 million investment program made over four years to improve the reliability of the "last mile" of our electric distribution system; address aging substations and gas metering and regulating stations; and invest in electric vehicle charging infrastructure at our facilities to support the electrification of PSE&G's vehicle fleet.  Based on the status of the proceeding, BPU action is anticipated in autumn 2022.

The New Jersey economy continued to recover from COVID-related restrictions throughout 2021, as more people returned to work outside the home and commercial activity stabilized.  For the full year, weather normalized total electric sales were flat versus 2020 and total gas sales (weather normalized) were slightly higher, up 0.3% over 2020.  However, with the CIP now in effect for electric and gas, growth in the number of customers, not sales, will drive Net Income for the utility.  The number of Electric and Gas customers rose by approximately 1% each in 2021. 

PA Consulting recently recognized PSE&G with the ReliabilityOne® Award for the 20th consecutive year as the Most Reliable Electric Utility in the Mid-Atlantic region. 

PSE&G Net Income for 2022 is forecasted at $1,510 million - $1,560 million and reflects the benefit of contemporaneously recovered investments and the full-year benefit of the CIP.

For the fourth quarter of 2021, Net Income was impacted by lower gains on NDT fund-related activity, higher mark-to-market gains, and additional charges related to the Fossil sales; Net Income and non-GAAP Operating Earnings benefited from the cessation of depreciation expense on the Fossil assets held for sale and lower interest expense following the redemption of all remaining long-term debt at PSEG Power in October 2021. 

Total generation output for the fourth quarter of 13.3 TWh was 9% higher than in the fourth quarter of 2020.  The nuclear fleet operated at an average capacity factor of 88.5% during the quarter, producing 7.6 TWh, which represented 57% of total generation.  The CCGT fleet produced 5.7 TWh of output and operated at a 49.4% capacity factor.  For the full-year, 2021 generation totaled 54 TWh, up 2% over 2020.  The nuclear fleet operated at an average capacity factor of 91.9% for the full year, and produced over 31 TWh of carbon-free, base load power, representing 58% of total generation. 

PSEG is forecasting total baseload nuclear generation of 31 TWh for the full year of 2022, hedged 95%-100% at an average price of $29 per MWh.  For 2023, total nuclear generation is forecasted to be 31 TWh and is 85%-90% hedged at an average price of $28 per MWh; and for 2024, total nuclear generation is forecasted to be 30 TWh and is hedged 45%-50% at an average price of $31 per MWh.

PSEG Enterprise/Other reported a Net Loss that increased by $0.02 per share compared with the fourth quarter of 2020, and reflects higher contributions to PSEG Foundation, higher interest expense, and other.

Headquartered in Newark, N.J., PSEG's principal operating subsidiaries are Public Service Electric and Gas Co. (PSE&G), PSEG Power and PSEG Long Island.

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/(Loss) 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/(Loss), 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. 

Forward-Looking Statements

Certain of the matters discussed in this report about our and our subsidiaries' future performance, including, without limitation, future revenues, earnings, strategies, prospects, consequences and all other statements that are not purely historical constitute "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.

  • the impact of changes in state and federal legislation and regulations on our business, including PSE&G's ability to recover costs and earn returns on authorized investments;
  • PSE&G's proposed investment programs may not be fully approved by regulators and its capital investment may be lower than planned;
  • the absence of a long-term legislative or other solution for our New Jersey nuclear plants that sufficiently values them for their carbon-free, fuel diversity and resilience attributes, or the impact of the current or subsequent payments for such attributes being materially adversely modified through legal proceedings;
  • adverse changes in and non-compliance with energy industry laws, policies, regulations and standards, including market structures and transmission planning and transmission returns;
  • risks associated with our ownership and operation of nuclear facilities, including increased nuclear fuel storage costs, regulatory risks, such as compliance with the Atomic Energy Act and trade control, environmental and other regulations, as well as financial, environmental and health and safety risks;
  • changes in federal and state environmental laws and regulations and enforcement;
  • delays in receipt of, or an inability to receive, necessary licenses and permits; and changes in tax laws and regulations.

All of the forward-looking statements made in this report are qualified by these cautionary statements and we cannot assure you that the results or developments anticipated by management will be realized or even if realized, will have the expected consequences to, or effects on, us or our business, prospects, financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

In August 2021, PSEG entered into two agreements to sell PSEG Power's 6,750 MW fossil generating portfolio to newly formed subsidiaries of ArcLight Energy Partners Fund VII, L.P., a fund controlled by ArcLight Capital Partners, LLC. In February 2022, PSEG completed the sale of this fossil generating portfolio.  As a result, risks highlighted in these forward-looking statements that relate solely to this 6,750 MW fossil generating portfolio, except for those related to certain assets and liabilities excluded from the sale transactions, primarily for obligations under environmental regulations, including possible remediation obligations under the New Jersey Industrial Site Recovery Act and the Connecticut Transfer Act, are no longer relevant to our business.

The forward-looking statements contained in this report are intended to qualify for the safe harbor provisions of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

*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 Liberty International Airport. Comparisons to normal are based on twenty years of historic data.

(c) Income tax effect calculated at the statutory rate except for qualified NDT related activity, which records an additional 20% trust tax on income (loss) from qualified NDT Funds, the additional investment tax credit (ITC) recapture related to the sale of PSEG Solar Source, and leveraged lease related activity, which is calculated at a combined leveraged lease effective tax rate.




(d) Approximately three million potentially dilutive shares were excluded from fully diluted average shares outstanding used to calculate the diluted GAAP loss per share for the year ended December 31, 2021 as their impact was antidilutive to GAAP results. For non-GAAP per share calculations, we used fully diluted average shares outstanding of 507 million, including the three million potentially dilutive shares as they were dilutive to non-GAAP results. As a result of the use of different denominators for non-GAAP Operating Earnings and GAAP Net Loss, a reconciling line item, "Share Differential," has been added to the year to date results to reconcile the two EPS calculations.
