Rhea-AI Summary

Public Service Enterprise Group (NYSE: PEG) reported a net loss of $177 million for Q2 2021, a stark contrast to a net income of $451 million in Q2 2020. Non-GAAP Operating Earnings fell to $356 million from $404 million year-over-year. The loss was impacted by a $519 million impairment charge for New England assets, partially offset by a $62 million gain from the sale of Solar Source LLC. The company raised its full-year non-GAAP Operating Earnings guidance to $3.40 to $3.55 per share, anticipating favorable results from PSEG Power and PSE&G, while ongoing capital investments and strategic reviews aim to simplify operations.

NEWARK, N.J., Aug. 3, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Public Service Enterprise Group (NYSE: PEG) reported a Net Loss for the second quarter of 2021 of $177 million, or $0.35 per share, compared to Net Income of $451 million, or $0.89 per share, in the second quarter of 2020.  Non-GAAP Operating Earnings for the second quarter of 2021 were $356 million, or $0.70 per share, compared to non-GAAP Operating Earnings for the second quarter of 2020 of $404 million, or $0.79 per share.  Non-GAAP results for the second quarter exclude items shown in Attachments 8 and 9.  For the second quarter of 2021, PSEG Power recorded a pre-tax impairment of approximately $519 million at its New England asset group, partially offset by a pre-tax gain of approximately $62 million from the sale of PSEG Power's ownership interest in Solar Source LLC. 

Ralph Izzo, chairman, president and chief executive officer, commented, "We continue to make great progress on a number of fronts to position ourselves for the future.  We had a strong operating quarter that once again produced non-GAAP Operating Earnings in line with our expectations for the year.  Our GAAP results for the quarter reflect an asset impairment charge related to the quarterly assessment of the likelihood and timing of potential asset sales in connection with exploring strategic alternatives for PSEG Power's non-nuclear generating assets.  As part of this transition, PSEG recently completed the sale of the 467 MW-dc Solar Source portfolio, and we are in advanced discussions regarding the potential sale of the fossil fleet." 

"The marketing of the fossil assets has garnered a significant level of interest from numerous qualified buyers in a competitive process, which is advancing as expected.  We announced the exploration of strategic alternatives last July with the intention of simplifying PSEG's business mix to be primarily a regulated electric and gas utility, complemented by a significantly contracted, carbon-free energy infrastructure company through the retention of our nuclear fleet and investments in regional offshore wind.  Over the past year we have eliminated uncertainty in many areas, and continue to favorably position the company for the future," said Izzo.

"We are also pleased with our recent announcement of PSE&G's agreement with the New Jersey Board of Public Utilities (BPU) and the Division of Rate Counsel to voluntarily reduce its annual transmission revenue requirement, which includes a reduction in its base return on equity on its transmission formula rate to 9.90% from 11.18%", Izzo continued.  "This agreement is a balanced resolution that delivers timely savings to customers and resolves a significant regulatory uncertainty for PSE&G.  Pending approval from the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC), the settlement is anticipated to save a typical electric residential customer approximately 3% on their monthly bills upon implementation."

On June 14, New Jersey lifted its Public Health Emergency Order in effect since March 2020.  The continued re-opening of the New Jersey economy has lifted commercial activity and resulted in a rebound in demand.  Electric sales adjusted for weather were up nearly 4% over the second quarter of 2020, led by an 11% increase in Commercial sales, offset by a 5% decline in Residential sales as people gradually return to work outside the home.  

Also in June, PSEG furthered its leadership position in the industry by accelerating our Net Zero carbon emissions vision by 20 years to 2030 and expanding the goal to include direct greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions (for scope 1) and indirect GHG emissions (for scope 2) from operations at both PSEG Power and PSE&G.  In establishing our Net Zero by 2030 vision, we assumed advances in technology, public policy, customer behavior and offsets.  Scope 1 emissions include power generation, methane leaks, vehicle fleet emissions, sulfur hexafluoride and refrigerant leaks.  Scope 2 emissions include both gas and electric purchased energy for our PSE&G facilities and line losses. 

The following table provides a reconciliation of PSEG's Net Income/(Loss) to non-GAAP Operating Earnings for the second 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.

*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 quarter ended June 30, 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. 

Ralph Izzo added, "We are raising by $0.05 per share the bottom end of PSEG's non-GAAP Operating Earnings guidance for full-year 2021 to a range of $3.40 to $3.55 per share based on favorable results at PSE&G and Power through the first half of the year.  The updated guidance also reflects an August 1 effective date to implement the Transmission rate settlement, and the expectation that the fossil assets will contribute to consolidated results through the end of the year.  PSE&G's planned capital spending of $2.7 billion is on schedule and on budget, as is our consolidated, five-year, $14 billion to $16 billion capital plan, which we intend to execute without the need to issue new equity."

PSE&G reported Net Income of $309 million ($0.61 per share) for the second quarter of 2021 compared with Net Income of $283 million ($0.56 per share) for the second quarter 2020.

PSE&G's second quarter results reflect revenue growth from ongoing capital investment programs.  Growth in transmission rate base added $0.01 per share to second quarter Net Income, partly offset by the timing of Transmission O&M and true-ups from prior-year filings. Electric margin added $0.02 per share to Net Income compared to the year-earlier quarter, driven by Commercial and Industrial demand.  Gas margin added $0.01 per share, driven by Gas System Modernization Program II rate roll-ins.  Gas-related bad debt expense, and operating and maintenance expense were both $0.01 per share favorable compared to the year-earlier quarter, driven by the timing of deferrals that began last September.  Distribution related depreciation lowered Net Income by $0.01 per share.  Non-operating pension expense was $0.02 per share favorable compared with second quarter 2020.  Tax expense was $0.02 unfavorable compared to second quarter 2020, driven by the timing of adjustments to reflect PSE&G's estimated annual effective tax rate.

The recently announced Transmission agreement, if approved by the FERC, would reset the base return on equity for PSE&G's formula rate to 9.90% (reduced from 11.18%) which will lower its annual transmission revenue requirement by about $100 million per year (pre-tax).  Combined with other elements of the settlement, which has a requested August 1, 2021 effective date, the financial impact of this settlement agreement is expected to lower PSE&G's Net Income by approximately $50 million - $60 million, or $0.10 - $0.12 per share, on an annual basis in the first 12 months, once implemented. 

Weather for Q2 2021 was significantly warmer compared with the second quarter of 2020, with a Temperature Humidity Index that was 34% higher than normal and a significantly higher than normal number of hours at 90°F or greater.  The New Jersey economy continued to recover in the second quarter, increasing total weather normalized electric sales by approximately 4% compared to Q2 2020, at the height of the COVID-19 economic restrictions.  On a trailing 12-month basis, weather normalized electric and gas sales were each higher by approximately 1%, with residential electric and gas usage up by 4% and 2%, respectively. 

The Conservation Incentive Program, which started June 1 for electric sales, removes the variations of weather, economic activity, efficiency and customer usage from our financial results, resetting margins to a baseline level.  This new mechanism supports PSE&G's ability to maximize customer participation in energy efficiency programs without losing margin from lower sales.  A similar program covering gas sales will commence October 1 and replace the weather normalization clause.

PSE&G's capital program remains on schedule. PSE&G invested approximately $700 million in the second quarter and $1.3 billion through June.  This capital is part of 2021's $2.7 billion electric and gas infrastructure program to upgrade transmission and distribution facilities, and enhance reliability and increase resiliency.  We continue to forecast over 90% of PSEG's planned capital investment will be directed to the utility over the 2021-2025 timeframe.

PSE&G's forecast of Net Income for 2021 has been updated to $1,420 million - $1,470 million, from $1,410 million - $1,470 million.

PSEG Power reported a Net Loss of $483 million ($0.95 per share) for the second quarter of 2021, non-GAAP Operating Earnings of $50 million ($0.10 per share), and non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA of $159 million.  This compares to second quarter 2020 Net Income of $170 million, non-GAAP Operating Earnings of $123 million and non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA of $258 million.

PSEG Power's second quarter non-GAAP Operating Earnings were affected by several items that combined lowered results by $0.14 per share below the year-ago quarter.  Re-contracting and market impact reduced results by $0.09 per share, reflecting seasonal shape of hedging activity and higher cost to serve load versus the year-ago quarter.  Generating volume and Zero Emission Certificates were each down by $0.01 per share, affected by lower nuclear output related to the spring refueling outage at the 100%-owned Hope Creek nuclear plant.  PJM capacity revenue added $0.02 per share to the year-ago quarterly comparison, following the slight stepdown in pricing with the new June 1 energy year.  Higher O&M expense reduced results by $0.04 per share compared to last year's second quarter primarily reflecting the planned Hope Creek refueling outage and higher fossil operating expenses.  Lower depreciation expense, reflecting the sale of the Solar Source portfolio and the early retirement of the Bridgeport Harbor coal-fired generating station, combined with lower interest expense added $0.02 per share versus the year-ago quarter. Taxes and other items were $0.03 per share unfavorable, reflecting the absence of the multi-year tax audit settlement included in second-quarter 2020 results.

Total generation output declined by 1% to 12.6 TWh in the second quarter as nuclear output declined due to the refueling outage at Hope Creek and a subsequent forced outage.  PSEG Power's CCGT fleet produced 5.3 TWh of output, up 8%, in response to higher market demand.  The nuclear fleet operated at an average capacity factor of 86% for the quarter, producing 7.2 TWh, down by 7% over Q2 2020, which represented 57% of total generation.  PSEG Power is forecasting generation output of 25 to 27 TWh for the remaining two quarters of 2021, and has hedged 95% - 100% of this production at an average price of $30 per MWh.  Also during the quarter, PSEG Power eliminated all coal from its generation mix with the early retirement of Bridgeport Harbor Station Unit 3. 

PSEG Power's quarterly impairment assessments related to its strategic review of non-nuclear generating assets determined that the ISO New England asset grouping showed an impairment as of June 30, 2021.  As a result, PSEG Power recorded a pre-tax charge of approximately $519 million for this asset grouping.  The PJM and New York-ISO groupings did not show an impairment as of June 30, 2021; however, a move of these assets to held-for-sale, which would be effective upon an anticipated sale agreement, would prompt an additional material impairment to the fossil portfolio.  In June 2021, PSEG completed the sale of PSEG Solar Source, which resulted in a pre-tax gain on the sale of approximately $62 million and income tax expense of approximately $63 million, primarily due to the recapture of investment tax credits on units that operated for less than five years.

The forecast of PSEG Power's non-GAAP Operating Earnings for 2021 has been updated to $295 million - $370 million (from $280 million - $370 million).  Our estimate of non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA remains unchanged at $850 million - $950 million

PSEG Enterprise/Other 

PSEG Enterprise/Other reported a Net Loss of $3 million ($0.01 per share) for the second quarter of 2021, compared to a Net Loss of $2 million ($0.01 per share) for the second quarter of 2020.  The Net Loss for the second quarter of 2021 reflects higher interest at the Parent partially offset by ongoing contributions from PSEG Long Island.  In June, PSEG Long Island entered into a non-binding Term Sheet with the Long Island Power Authority that would resolve all of the Authority's claims related to Tropical Storm Isaias.  The terms will guide amendments to our Operations Services Agreement (OSA) and then be submitted to New York State authorities for approval later this year.  The OSA contract term will continue through 2025, with a mutual option to extend.

For 2021, the forecast for PSEG Enterprise/Other remains unchanged at a Net Loss of $15 million.

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, 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.
