•Announces 2025 second-quarter reported earnings (GAAP) per share of $0.25.
•Achieves 2025 second-quarter ongoing earnings per share of $0.32 versus $0.38 in 2024, with lower results primarily due to timing and weather.
•Reaffirms 2025 ongoing earnings forecast range of $1.75 to $1.87 per share; expects to achieve at least the midpoint of $1.81 per share.
•Reaffirms 6% to 8% annual EPS and dividend growth targets through at least 2028; expects to achieve EPS growth in the top half of targeted growth range.
ALLENTOWN, Pa. (July 31, 2025) - PPL Corporation (NYSE: PPL) today announced second-quarter 2025 reported earnings (GAAP) of $183 million, or $0.25 per share, compared with second-quarter 2024 reported earnings of $190 million, or $0.26 per share.
PPL reported earnings of $597 million, or $0.80 per share, for the first six months of 2025, compared with the reported earnings of $497 million, or $0.67 per share, for the first six months of 2024.
Adjusting for special items, second-quarter 2025 earnings from ongoing operations (non-GAAP) were $240 million, or $0.32 per share, compared with $282 million, or $0.38 per share, a year ago. The decline was primarily due to several anticipated factors, including the timing of certain operating costs and true-ups, as well as favorable weather in the second quarter of 2024 and higher interest expense.
Earnings from ongoing operations for the first six months of 2025 were $684 million, or $0.92 per share, compared with $684 million, or $0.92 per share, for the first six months of 2024.
“Across PPL, we continue to gain momentum in executing our utility of the future strategy,” said PPL President and Chief Executive Officer Vincent Sorgi. “We are significantly enhancing the reliability and resiliency of our electric and gas networks to better protect against severe weather. We are advancing a cleaner energy mix while maintaining our unwavering commitment to safety, affordability and reliability. Moreover, we are at the forefront of innovation, integrating cutting-edge technology across all aspects of our business to deliver superior outcomes for our customers and shareowners.”
Sorgi continued, “We are also making substantial progress in delivering on our financial commitments to shareowners. We anticipate strong earnings growth in the second half of 2025, driven by higher returns on capital investments and lower O&M year over year, in line with our business plan. We remain confident about achieving at least the midpoint of our 2025 forecast and are reaffirming our ongoing earnings forecast range of $1.75 to $1.87 per share with a midpoint of $1.81 per share.”
“Importantly, we also continue to focus on engaging with key stakeholders to strengthen resource adequacy and power economic development that benefits the regions we serve and enhances America’s competitiveness,” added Sorgi. “This month, we were excited to announce our joint venture with Blackstone Infrastructure to build, own and operate new electric generation stations to power data centers under long-term energy services agreements. This is just another example of how we are developing innovative solutions to some of the most pressing challenges in today’s energy landscape.”
In conjunction with today's earnings announcement, PPL reaffirmed its projection of 6% to 8% annual earnings per share (EPS) and dividend growth through at least 2028, with EPS growth expected to be in the top half of the targeted range. The company’s projected growth is based off its 2025 forecast midpoint of $1.81 per share.

Earnings from ongoing operations is a non-GAAP measure that could differ from reported earnings due to special items that are, in management’s view, non-recurring or otherwise not reflective of the company’s ongoing operations. PPL management is not able to forecast whether any of these factors will occur or whether any amounts will be reported for future periods. Therefore, PPL is not able to provide an equivalent GAAP measure for earnings guidance.

Management utilizes “Earnings from Ongoing Operations” or “Ongoing Earnings” as a non-GAAP financial measure that should not be considered as an alternative to reported earnings, or net income, an indicator of operating performance determined in accordance with GAAP. PPL believes that Earnings from Ongoing Operations is useful and meaningful to investors because it provides management’s view of PPL’s earnings performance as another criterion in making investment decisions. In addition, PPL’s management uses Earnings from Ongoing Operations in measuring achievement of certain corporate performance goals, including targets for certain executive incentive compensation. Other companies may use different measures to present financial performance.
Earnings from Ongoing Operations is adjusted for the impact of special items. Special items are presented in the financial tables on an after-tax basis with the related income taxes on special items separately disclosed. Income taxes on special items, when applicable, are calculated based on the statutory tax rate of the entity where the activity is recorded. Special items may include items such as:
•Gains and losses on sales of assets not in the ordinary course of business.
•Impairment charges.
•Significant workforce reduction and other restructuring effects.
•Acquisition and divestiture-related adjustments.
•Significant losses on early extinguishment of debt.
•Other charges or credits that are, in management’s view, non-recurring or otherwise not reflective of the company’s ongoing operations.

Although PPL Corporation believes that the expectations and assumptions reflected in these forward-looking statements are reasonable, these statements are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties, and actual results may differ materially from the results discussed in the statements. The following are among the important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from the forward-looking statements: strategic acquisitions, dispositions, joint ventures or similar transactions and our ability to consummate these business transactions, integrate the acquired entities or realize expected benefits from them; pandemic health events or other catastrophic events and their effect on financial markets, economic conditions and our businesses; market demand for energy in our service territories; weather conditions affecting customer energy usage and operating costs; volatility in or the impact of other changes on financial markets, commodity prices and economic conditions, including inflation; the effect of any business or industry restructuring; the profitability and liquidity of PPL Corporation and its subsidiaries; new accounting requirements or new interpretations or applications of existing requirements; operating performance of our facilities; the length of scheduled and unscheduled outages at our generating plants; environmental conditions and requirements and the related costs of compliance; system conditions and operating costs; development of new projects, markets and technologies; performance of new ventures; any impact of severe weather on our business; receipt of necessary government permits, approvals, rate relief and regulatory cost recovery; capital market conditions and decisions regarding capital structure; the impact of state, federal or foreign investigations applicable to PPL Corporation and its subsidiaries; the outcome of litigation against PPL Corporation and its subsidiaries; PPL Corporation's stock price performance; the market prices of equity securities and the impact on pension income and resultant cash funding requirements for defined benefit pension plans; the securities and credit ratings of PPL Corporation and its subsidiaries; political, regulatory or economic conditions in jurisdictions where PPL Corporation or its subsidiaries conduct business, including any potential effects of threatened or actual cyberattack, terrorism or war or other hostilities; new state, federal or foreign legislation, including new tax legislation; and the commitments and liabilities of PPL Corporation and its subsidiaries. Any such forward-looking statements should be considered in light of such important factors and in conjunction with factors and other matters discussed in PPL Corporation’s Form 10-K and other reports on file with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
