COLUMBUS, Ohio, July 30, 2024 -- American Electric Power (Nasdaq: AEP) today reported second-quarter 2024 earnings, prepared in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP), of $340 million or $0.64 per share, compared with GAAP earnings of $521 million or $1.01 per share in second-quarter 2023. Operating earnings for second-quarter 2024 were $662 million or $1.25 per share, compared with operating earnings of $582 million or $1.13 per share in second-quarter 2023.

Operating earnings is a non-GAAP measure representing GAAP earnings excluding special items. The difference between 2024 GAAP and operating earnings for the quarter was largely due to a revenue refund provision associated with the Turk Plant, impacts of the EPA's revised Coal Combustion Residuals Rule, and severance expenses related to AEP's recent workforce reduction. On a year-to-date basis, the variance between GAAP and operating earnings is $0.03 per share. A full reconciliation of GAAP earnings to operating earnings for the quarter and year to date is included in the tables at the end of this news release.
"AEP’s investments in a modern, affordable and reliable energy system continue to benefit our customers and communities while supporting our earnings results. Our solid performance in the first half of the year and our team’s proven ability to efficiently manage the business allow us to reaffirm our 2024 earnings guidance range,” said Ben Fowke, interim chief executive officer and president.
“We’re seeing unprecedented growth in portions of our service territory, supported by our robust transmission network and focus on economic development. Commercial load increased 12.4% over second quarter last year, driven by a gain of more than 20% at our Transmission & Distribution companies, as new data processing facilities came online. We currently have commitments from customers for more than 15 gigawatts of incremental load by the end of the decade. We continue to see strong interest in Ohio and Texas, as well as several of our vertically integrated states, from customers looking to develop new data processing facilities. Affordability remains top of mind, and we’re working to ensure that the investments made in the grid to support this increased demand are allocated fairly and provide benefits to all customers,” Fowke said.
“To help meet the growing energy needs of our customers and communities, we’re making steady progress transforming our generation fleet with active requests for proposals and plans to add more than 20 gigawatts of new resources over the next decade. In June, Public Service Company of Oklahoma announced it will seek regulatory approval of an agreement to purchase Green Country, a 795-megawatt natural gas generation facility that will serve as a reliable and affordable local energy resource for customers.
“As part of our efforts to address the impacts of inflation, we initiated a voluntary workforce reduction program in the second quarter. Approximately 1,000 employees participated, and I’m grateful for their service to our company and our customers. We’ll begin to see the benefits of the program in the second half of the year, helping to offset higher interest rates and other inflationary pressures as we reinvest in the business to deliver for our customers," Fowke said.
“I’m proud of what our team has achieved this year and excited for the opportunities ahead for AEP as Bill Fehrman takes the helm August 1 as president and CEO. Bill is an accomplished business
2

leader with deep experience in the energy industry and a proven track record of driving strong results. I look forward to serving as senior advisor over the next few months to ensure a smooth transition and remaining on the Board to help guide the company’s strategy as we enhance value for all of our stakeholders," Fowke added.

EARNINGS GUIDANCE
AEP management reaffirms its 2024 operating earnings guidance range of $5.53 to $5.73 per share. Operating earnings could differ from GAAP earnings for matters such as impairments, divestitures or changes in accounting principles. AEP management is not able to forecast if any of these items will occur or any amounts that may be reported for future periods. Therefore, AEP is not able to provide a corresponding GAAP equivalent for 2024 earnings guidance.
Reflecting special items recorded through the second quarter, the estimated earnings per share on a GAAP basis would be $5.56 to $5.76 per share. See the table below for a full reconciliation of 2024 earnings guidance.

WEBCAST

AEP’s quarterly discussion with financial analysts and investors will be broadcast live over the internet at 9 a.m. Eastern today at http://www.aep.com/webcasts. The webcast will include audio of the discussion and visuals of charts and graphics referred to by AEP management.

AEP’s earnings are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States and represent the company’s earnings as reported to the Securities and Exchange Commission. The company’s operating earnings, a non-GAAP measure representing GAAP earnings excluding special items as described in the news release and charts, provide another representation for investors to evaluate the performance of the company’s ongoing business activities. AEP uses operating earnings as the primary performance measurement when communicating with analysts and investors regarding its earnings outlook and results. The company uses operating earnings data internally to measure performance against budget, to report to AEP’s Board of Directors and also as an input in determining performance-based compensation under the company’s employee incentive compensation plans.

This report made by American Electric Power and its Registrant Subsidiaries contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Although AEP and each of its Registrant Subsidiaries believe that their expectations are based on reasonable assumptions, any such statements may be influenced by factors that could cause actual outcomes and results to be materially different from those projected. Among the factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements are: changes in economic conditions, electric market demand and demographic patterns in AEP service territories; the economic impact of increased global conflicts and trade tensions and the adoption or expansion of economic sanctions, tariffs or trade restrictions; inflationary or deflationary interest rate trends; volatility and disruptions in the financial markets precipitated by any cause, including turmoil related to federal budget or debt ceiling matters, particularly developments affecting the availability or cost of capital to finance new capital projects and refinance existing debt; the availability and cost of funds to finance working capital and capital needs, particularly if expected sources of capital such as proceeds from the sale of assets, subsidiaries and tax credits, and anticipated securitizations, do not materialize or do not materialize at the level anticipated, and during periods when the time lag between incurring costs and recovery is long and the costs are material; decreased demand for electricity; the impact of extreme weather conditions, natural disasters and catastrophic events such as storms, drought conditions and wildfires that pose significant risks including potential litigation and the inability to recover significant damages and restoration costs incurred; limitations or restrictions on the amounts and types of insurance available to cover losses that might arise in connection with natural disasters or operations; the cost of fuel and its transportation, the creditworthiness and performance of parties who supply and transport fuel and the cost of storing and disposing of used fuel, including coal ash and spent nuclear fuel; the availability of fuel and necessary generation capacity and the performance of generation plants; AEP’s ability to recover fuel and other energy costs through regulated or competitive electric rates; the ability to transition from generation nearing the end of its economic life and the ability to build or acquire generation (including from renewable sources), transmission lines and facilities (including the ability to obtain any necessary regulatory approvals and permits) when needed at acceptable prices and terms, including favorable tax treatment, and to recover those costs; the impact of pandemics and any associated disruption of AEP’s business operations due to impacts on economic or market conditions, costs of compliance with potential government regulations, electricity usage, supply chain issues, customers, service providers, vendors and suppliers; new legislation, litigation and government regulation, including changes to tax laws and regulations, oversight of nuclear generation, energy commodity trading and new or heightened requirements for reduced emissions of sulfur, nitrogen, mercury, carbon, soot or particulate matter and other substances that could impact the continued operation, cost recovery, and/or profitability of generation plants and related assets; the impact of federal tax legislation on results of operations, financial condition, cash flows or credit ratings; the risks associated with fuels used before, during and after the generation of electricity and the byproducts and wastes of such fuels, including coal ash and spent nuclear fuel; timing and resolution of pending and future rate cases, negotiations and other regulatory decisions, including rate or other recovery of new investments in generation, distribution and transmission service and environmental compliance; resolution of litigation or regulatory proceedings or investigations; AEP’s ability to efficiently manage operation and maintenance costs; prices and demand for power generated and sold at wholesale; changes in technology, particularly with respect to energy storage and new, developing, alternative or distributed sources of generation; AEP’s ability to recover through rates any remaining unrecovered investment in generation units that may be retired before the end of their previously projected useful lives; volatility and changes in markets for coal and other energy-related commodities, particularly changes in the price of natural gas; the impact of changing expectations and demands of customers, regulators, investors and stakeholders, including evolving expectations related to environmental, social and governance concerns; changes in utility regulation and the allocation of costs within regional transmission organizations, including ERCOT, PJM and SPP; changes in the creditworthiness of the counterparties with contractual arrangements, including participants in the energy trading market; actions of rating agencies, including changes in the ratings of debt;
5

the impact of volatility in the capital markets on the value of the investments held by AEP’s pension, other postretirement benefit plans, captive insurance entity and nuclear decommissioning trust and the impact of such volatility on future funding requirements; accounting standards periodically issued by accounting standard-setting bodies; other risks and unforeseen events, including wars and military conflicts, the effects of terrorism (including increased security costs), embargoes, cyber security threats, global information technology disruptions and other catastrophic events; and the ability to attract and retain the requisite work force and key personnel.
