Insights

Financial Analyst

The reported net income of $5.13 per share for the full year of 2023 by Public Service Enterprise Group (PSEG) indicates a substantial improvement over the previous year's $2.06 per share. This performance could be attributed to strategic business optimizations, such as the retention of their nuclear fleet and the exit from offshore wind generation, which may have provided financial stability and allowed for the recovery of investments. The reaffirmation of the 2024 non-GAAP Operating Earnings Guidance suggests confidence in the company's future performance and might be a positive signal for investors looking for stable returns, especially considering the increase in the dividend rate, which extends a significant history of consecutive payouts.

However, the non-GAAP Operating Earnings showing marginal year-over-year growth from $3.47 to $3.48 per share could raise questions about the underlying operational efficiency and growth prospects. A detailed evaluation of the company's operational segments, such as the impact of the Gas System Modernization Program and the Clean Energy Future-Energy Efficiency program, would be necessary to assess the long-term sustainability of earnings growth. Additionally, the proposed $3.1 billion investment in the CEF-EE II filing should be scrutinized for its potential to drive future earnings and the ability to recover these investments through rate cases.

Market Research Analyst

PSEG's performance, particularly in the context of its capital investment plan and the expansion of energy efficiency offerings, reflects an industry trend towards infrastructure modernization and sustainability. The company's focus on energy efficiency and modernization programs aligns with broader regulatory and consumer demand for clean energy solutions and could position PSEG favorably in the market. The 93% capacity factor at PSEG Nuclear and the inclusion in the Dow Jones Sustainability North America Index for the 16th year highlight the company's commitment to operational excellence and sustainability, which are increasingly important to socially responsible investors.

The smart meter implementation and labor agreements are also indicative of PSEG's long-term strategy to enhance operational efficiency and stakeholder relations. The company's ability to deliver consistent results that meet or exceed guidance for 19 consecutive years could reinforce investor confidence in management's ability to execute on strategic initiatives and maintain financial discipline. The expansion of the regulated capital spending plan underscores the commitment to growth, with potential implications for rate base expansion and long-term shareholder value.

Economist

The economic implications of PSEG's reported earnings and strategic decisions extend beyond the company's financial health. The streamlining of PSEG's business mix and the focus on regulated growth through capital investments in infrastructure modernization could have broader economic benefits, such as job creation, enhanced energy security and support for state-level clean energy objectives. The $900 million settlement to extend the Gas System Modernization Program and the $280 million settlement for the Clean Energy Future-Energy Efficiency program may also stimulate local economies and support the energy sector's transition towards more efficient and sustainable operations.

Moreover, the reduction in PSE&G's gas commodity charge suggests a responsive approach to market conditions and consumer cost concerns, which might positively influence consumer spending and sentiment. The company's rate case filings and the alignment with New Jersey's energy efficiency framework demonstrate the interplay between corporate strategy and regulatory environments, with potential implications for the cost of utilities and the pace of infrastructure improvements within the state. The proposed capital investments, if approved, could enhance the reliability of services and support economic growth through improved energy infrastructure.

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

"PSEG achieved solid operating and financial performance in 2023.  Our non-GAAP results for the full year came in at the high-end of our 2023 guidance range and marked the 19th consecutive year that we delivered results that met or exceeded our guidance.  PSE&G efficiently completed its largest ever capital investment plan in a single year – totaling $3.7 billion – focused on meeting our customers' needs by modernizing our system infrastructure, maintaining our best in the state reliability and resiliency, and expanding our energy efficiency offerings to customers at every income level to help them reduce their energy usage and bills," said Ralph LaRossa, PSEG's chair, president and CEO.

PSEG made significant progress during 2023, executing on its strategy to increase the predictability of the business and the visibility of growth, and providing value to its customers, including:

• Streamlining the business mix by retaining our 3,760 MW nuclear fleet (which benefits from the nuclear production tax credit, effective January 1, 2024, and helps us finance regulated growth through 2028 without the need for new equity) and exiting offshore wind generation with recovery of our investment.
• Reaching a $900 million settlement to extend our Gas System Modernization Program through 2025, and a $280 million settlement to extend our award-winning Clean Energy Future-Energy Efficiency (EE) program into mid-2024.
• Enabling the broad expansion of our EE programs through an effective Conservation Incentive Program, which also offset the 2023 volumetric impacts of unseasonably mild winter and summer weather.
• Lowering PSE&G's gas commodity charge from $0.47 to $0.40 per therm for winter 2024, following the two previous supply charge reductions during the winter of 2023.
• Placing into service over 1.5 million PSE&G smart meters.
• Reaching new multi-year labor agreements with all of our represented employees.
• Achieving a 93% capacity factor at PSEG Nuclear that included a breaker-to-breaker run at Salem Unit 1, and producing approximately 32 TWh of carbon free, base-load power.
• Successfully reducing our pension variability, twice, through the approval of a regulatory accounting order last February and a billion-dollar lift-out in August.
• Being named to the Dow Jones Sustainability North America Index for the 16^th year in a row.
• Being recognized as #1 in Customer Satisfaction with Residential and Business Electric Service in the East among Large Utilities by J.D. Power in 2023.

Looking ahead, PSEG recently updated its five-year regulated capital spending plan to $18 billion to $21 billion, which supports our outlook for compound annual growth in rate base (of 6% to 7.5%) and for non-GAAP Operating Earnings (of 5% to 7%) over the 2024 to 2028 period.

In December 2023, PSE&G filed its comprehensive electric and gas base rate case, as required, with the New Jersey Board of Public Utilities (BPU).  A main component of the case is to recover over $3 billion in capital investments that were made to strengthen and modernize the state's electric and gas infrastructure since PSE&G's last rate case in 2018. PSE&G's request is its first in six years and is among the lowest proposed rate increases filed by a NJ public utility over that time period.    

PSE&G also submitted its Clean Energy Future–Energy Efficiency II (CEF-EE II) filing to the BPU.  The $3.1 billion proposal is aligned with New Jersey's updated energy efficiency framework covering the 30-month period from January 2025 through June 2027 and would be spent over a six-year period. 

LaRossa added, "For 2024, we are reaffirming our non-GAAP Operating Earnings guidance range of $3.60 to $3.70 per share.  The recent $0.12 increase to PSEG's 2024 indicative annual common dividend rate to $2.40 per share also extends our track record of providing dividend income to our investors for 117 consecutive years."

PSEG Results by Segment

Public Service Electric and Gas
Fourth Quarter and Full Year Comparative Results
($ millions, except per share amounts)	4Q 2023	4Q 2022	FY 2023	FY 2022
Net Income	$291	$352	$1,515	$1,565
Net Income Per Share (EPS)	$0.58	$0.70	$3.03	$3.12
Non-GAAP Operating Earnings	$296	$352	$1,532	$1,565
Non-GAAP Operating EPS	$0.59	$0.70	$3.06	$3.12

Consistent with management's guidance for full-year 2023 non-GAAP earnings, PSE&G's fourth quarter results benefited from growth in incremental investments in Transmission and Gas Distribution, which were offset by the expected decline in pension income and lower OPEB related credits, as well as higher depreciation, amortization and interest expense resulting from higher investment (not yet reflected in rates), as well as higher O&M costs in the quarter due to timing.

PSEG Power & Other
Fourth Quarter and Full Year Comparative Results
($ millions, except per share amounts)	4Q 2023	4Q 2022	FY 2023	FY 2022
Net Income (Loss)	$255	$436	$1,048	$(534)
Net Income (Loss) Per Share (EPS)	$0.52	$0.88	$2.10	$(1.06)
Non-GAAP Operating Earnings	$(25)	$(34)	$210	$174
Non-GAAP Operating EPS	$(0.05)	$(0.06)	$0.42	$0.35

PSEG Power & Other results for the quarter reflect an improvement in energy margin, offset by a reduction in capacity revenues, and expected lower pension income and OPEB credits compared with the fourth quarter of 2022.

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 gains (losses) associated with the Nuclear Decommissioning Trust (NDT), Mark-to-Market (MTM) accounting and other material infrequent items.

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 presentation of non-GAAP Operating Earnings 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 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 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.

*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.
