Portland General Electric (POR) Q1 2026 profit drops as it reaffirms full-year guidance
Rhea-AI Filing Summary
Portland General Electric reported weaker first quarter 2026 results as mild winter weather and higher costs weighed on earnings. GAAP net income was $45 million, or $0.38 per diluted share, down from $100 million or $0.91 a year earlier. After excluding regulatory deferral adjustments and business transformation and acquisition expenses, non-GAAP net income was $68 million, or $0.58 per diluted share.
Total revenues were $879 million versus $928 million in first quarter 2025, with flat overall energy demand and higher purchased power, fuel, operations and maintenance, depreciation and interest expenses. Industrial customer demand was a relative bright spot, growing 10% quarter‑over‑quarter, helped by data center and high‑tech customers.
The company reaffirmed full‑year 2026 adjusted earnings guidance of $3.33 to $3.53 per diluted share, based on weather‑adjusted energy deliveries rising 1.5%–2.5%, operating and maintenance expense of $810–$830 million, depreciation and amortization of $570–$590 million, cash from operations of $1.0–$1.2 billion, and capital expenditures of $1.655 billion. PGE is pursuing approval of its proposed acquisition of PacifiCorp’s Washington utility operations, targeting a 2027 closing, and previously approved a quarterly dividend of $0.55125 per share payable in July 2026.
Positive
- None.
Negative
- Material earnings decline: Q1 2026 GAAP net income fell to $45 million and diluted EPS to $0.38, down from $100 million and $0.91 in Q1 2025, while revenue decreased to $879 million from $928 million.
Insights
Q1 earnings fell sharply, but guidance and industrial demand remain intact.
Portland General Electric posted a sizeable year‑over‑year decline in profitability. GAAP net income dropped from $100 million to $45 million, with diluted EPS falling from $0.91 to $0.38. Revenue also slipped to $879 million from $928 million, while purchased power, fuel, operating, depreciation and interest costs all increased.
Management highlighted an unusually mild winter and regulatory deferral charges tied to the January 2024 storm and reliability contingency event, plus business transformation and acquisition expenses. On an adjusted basis, EPS of $0.58 still trails the prior‑year GAAP level, indicating underlying margin pressure despite the adjustments.
The company reaffirmed 2026 adjusted EPS guidance of $3.33–$3.53 per diluted share, anchored by weather‑adjusted load growth of 1.5%–2.5%, capital expenditures of $1.655 billion, and cash from operations of $1.0–$1.2 billion. Industrial demand grew 10% quarter‑over‑quarter, which may support future earnings if cost and regulatory factors align with the assumptions laid out for full‑year guidance.

Portland General Electric Announces First Quarter 2026 Results
PORTLAND, Oregon -- Portland General Electric Company (NYSE: POR) today reported net income based on generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) of $45 million, or $0.38 per diluted share, for the first quarter of 2026. After adjusting for the impact of regulatory deferral adjustments related to the January 2024 storm and 2024 reliability contingency event and business transformation, optimization and acquisition expenses, 2026 non-GAAP net income was $68 million, or $0.58 per diluted share. This compares with GAAP net income of $100 million, or $0.91 per diluted share, for the first quarter 2025.
“We are focused on disciplined execution as we move through the year,” said Maria Pope, PGE President and CEO. “Strong operational performance and cost control are allowing us to navigate the impact of an unusually mild winter.”
First Quarter 2026 Earnings Compared to First Quarter 2025 Earnings
On a GAAP basis, total revenues increased due to higher cost recovery. Total energy demand was flat to 2025, with variances between customer classes largely offsetting. Purchased power and fuel expense increased due to less favorable wholesale and environmental credit market conditions and due to the regulatory adjustment related to the January 2024 reliability contingency event deferral. Operations and maintenance expense increased due to the regulatory adjustment related to the January 2024 storm recovery deferral and business transformation and acquisition expenses. Depreciation and interest expense increased due to ongoing capital investment. Income tax increased due to the timing of production tax credit recognition.

Additional Company Updates
Washington Acquisition Update
On March 30, PGE and PacifiCorp submitted a joint application with the Washington Utility and Transportation (WUTC) Commission seeking approval of PGE's proposed acquisition of PacifiCorp's Washington utility operations.
On April 2, PGE submitted an application with the Public Utility Commission of Oregon (OPUC) for the proposed Washington acquisition.
The transaction is expected to consummate approximately twelve months after submission of regulatory filings, subject to customary closing conditions and regulatory approvals. PGE anticipates the transaction closing in 2027.
Quarterly Dividend
As previously announced, on April 24, 2026, the board of directors of Portland General Electric Company approved a quarterly common stock dividend of 55.125 cents per share. The quarterly dividend is payable on or before July 15, 2026 to shareholders of record at the close of business on June 25, 2026.
2026 Earnings Guidance
PGE is reaffirming its estimate for full-year 2026 adjusted earnings guidance of $3.33 to $3.53 per diluted share based on the following assumptions:
First Quarter 2026 Earnings Call and Webcast — May. 1, 2026
PGE will host a conference call with financial analysts and investors on Friday, May 1, 2026, at 11 a.m. ET. The conference call will be webcast live on the PGE website at investors.portlandgeneral.com. A webcast replay will also be available on PGE's investor website “Events & Presentations” page beginning at 2 p.m. ET on May 1, 2026.
Page 2
Maria Pope, President and CEO; Joe Trpik, Senior Vice President of Finance and CFO; and Erin Schwartz, Senior Manager of Investor Relations, will participate in the call. Management will respond to questions following formal comments.
2025 Purpose and Progress Report
On March 17, PGE released its 2025 Purpose and Progress Report, which provides insight into how PGE is managing its carbon footprint, supporting its workforce and local communities, and maintaining ethical leadership and accountability. The report also highlights the Company's clean energy performance in 2025, with non-emitting resources making up 46% of PGE's energy mix.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This press release contains certain non-GAAP measures, such as adjusted earnings, adjusted EPS and adjusted earnings guidance. These non-GAAP financial measures exclude significant items that are generally not related to our ongoing business activities, are infrequent in nature, or both. PGE believes that excluding the effects of these items provides an alternative measure of the Company’s comparative earnings per share and enables investors to evaluate the Company’s operating financial performance trends, exclusive of items that are not normally associated with ongoing operations. Management utilizes non-GAAP measures to assess the Company’s current and forecasted performance, and for communications with shareholders, analysts and investors. Non-GAAP financial measures are supplementary information that should be considered in addition to, but not as a substitute for, the information prepared in accordance with GAAP.
Items in the periods presented, which PGE believes impact the comparability of comparative earnings and do not represent ongoing operating financial performance, include the following:
Due to the forward-looking nature of PGE’s non-GAAP adjusted earnings guidance, and the inherently unpredictable nature of items and events which could lead to the recognition of non-GAAP adjustments (such as, but not limited to, regulatory disallowances or extreme weather events), management is unable to estimate the occurrence or value of specific items requiring adjustment for future periods, which could potentially impact the Company’s GAAP earnings. Therefore, management cannot provide a reconciliation of non-GAAP adjusted earnings per share guidance to the most comparable GAAP financial measure without unreasonable effort. For the same reasons, management is unable to address the probable significance of unavailable information.
PGE’s reconciliation of non-GAAP earnings for the quarters ended March 31, 2026 is below.

Portland General Electric EARNINGS CONFERENCE CALL FIRST QUARTER 2026 Exhibit 99.2
Cautionary statement Information Current as of May 1, 2026 Except as expressly noted, the information in this presentation is current as of May 1, 2026 – the date on which Portland General Electric Company (PGE) filed its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2026 - and should not be relied upon as being current as of any subsequent date. PGE undertakes no duty to update this presentation, except as may be required by law. Forward-Looking Statements Statements in this presentation that relate to future plans, objectives, expectations, performance, events and the like may constitute "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Investors should not rely unduly on any forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements include statements, other than statements of historical or current fact, regarding PGE’s earnings guidance (including all the assumptions and expectations upon which such guidance is based), PGE’s proposed purchase of electric utility operations and certain assets in Washington state from PacifiCorp (Acquisition), and PGE’s operating and financing plans, as well as other statements containing words such as "anticipates," "assumptions," "believes," "continue,” "could," "estimates," "expects," "expected," "forecast," "goals," "guidance,” "intends," “may,” "plans," "predicts," “proposed,” "seeks," "should," well-positioned to execute,” "will," “working to,” or similar expressions. Forward-looking statements are inherently subject to risks and uncertainties, some of which cannot be predicted or quantified, which could cause future events and actual results to differ materially from those set forth in, contemplated by, or underlying the forward-looking statements. Such risks, uncertainties and other factors include, without limitation: wildfire and public safety risks, including ignitions caused by PGE assets, the effectiveness of wildfire mitigation, vegetation management, and system hardening, the ability to implement public safety power shutoffs (PSPS), related liability exposure, and the timing and extent of regulatory cost recovery; severe weather, climate, and catastrophe risks, including extreme or unseasonable weather and other natural or human caused disasters that could endanger public safety, disrupt operations, damage assets, limit access to power or fuel supplies, increase costs, or adversely affect cost recovery; electric system operational risks, including forced outages, fires, equipment failures, adverse hydro or wind conditions, fuel supply disruptions, and complications at jointly owned facilities, resulting in increased costs or the need to procure replacement power; power and fuel supply and price risks, including availability, counterparty nonperformance, and volatility in wholesale electricity, natural gas, coal, and other fuel markets; regulatory, legislative, and policy risks, including new or revised laws, regulations, executive actions, audits, investigations, and proceedings that could affect rates, cost recovery, operations, capital plans, or financial results; Acquisition risks, including risks related to regulatory approvals, financing and joint‑venture arrangements, integration and operational execution, cost recovery, and the possibility that the anticipated benefits of the Acquisition are delayed, not realized, or cost more than expected; environmental compliance and permitting risks, including evolving environmental laws and permitting requirements and site specific remediation obligations, such as Superfund liabilities, where uncertainties regarding remediation scope, cost allocation, litigation, and regulatory cost recovery could result in material costs or adversely affect PGE’s financial position, results of operations, or cash flows; capital investment and execution risks, including supply chain disruptions, cost inflation, labor constraints, permitting delays, contractual disputes, counterparty failures, or project abandonment, which could impair timely completion or cost recovery; load growth and demand uncertainty, including accelerated or uneven growth from large customers such as data centers, changes in customer usage patterns requiring substantial capital investment, variability in demand driven by weather variations, and reduced consumption or load shifting resulting from energy efficiency measures or other changes in customer behavior; customer choice and market structure risks, including reduced demand or usage shifts due to distributed generation or increased procurement from alternative providers, such as registered Electricity Service Suppliers (ESSs) or community choice aggregation programs; cybersecurity and physical security risks, including cyberattacks, data breaches, physical attacks, or other malicious acts that could damage assets, disrupt systems, or result in the disclosure of sensitive information; geopolitical and macroeconomic risks, including acts of war, terrorism, or civil unrest—such as the war involving the United States and Iran—that could disrupt energy markets or supply chains, increase costs, or contribute to volatility in capital markets, inflation, or interest rates; economic and financial market risks, including availability and cost of capital, interest rate and equity market volatility, inflation, and trade tariffs affecting operating or capital costs; legal and litigation risks, including the timing and outcome of judicial, administrative, or regulatory proceedings, which may result in material liabilities or costs; workforce and labor risks, including the ability to attract and retain skilled employees, transitions in senior management, and potential labor disputes or work stoppages; resource procurement and All-Source Request for Proposals (RFP) project risks, including uncertainties related to the availability, cost, permitting, financing, and performance of resources selected through RFP processes and associated regulatory and counterparty risks; insurance availability and cost, particularly for wildfire or catastrophe related coverage; accounting, tax, and policy changes, including changes in accounting standards, tax laws, or regulatory accounting policies that could affect reported results or cash flows; and the other risks and uncertainties set forth in PGE’s Annual Report on Form 10‑K for the year ended December 31, 2025, as filed with the SEC.

This presentation contains certain non-GAAP measures, such as adjusted earnings, adjusted EPS and adjusted earnings guidance. These non-GAAP financial measures exclude significant items that are generally not related to our ongoing business activities, are infrequent in nature, or both. PGE believes that excluding the effects of these items provides an alternative measure of the Company’s comparative earnings per share and enables investors to evaluate the Company’s operating financial performance trends, exclusive of items that are not normally associated with ongoing operations. Management utilizes non-GAAP measures to assess the Company’s current and forecasted performance, and for communications with shareholders, analysts and investors. Non-GAAP financial measures are supplementary information that should be considered in addition to, but not as a substitute for, the information prepared in accordance with GAAP. Items in the periods presented, which PGE believes impact the comparability of comparative earnings and do not represent ongoing operating financial performance, include the following: 2026: Business transformation and optimization expenses, including strategic advisory, workforce realignment and corporate structure update costs; acquisition costs, including legal, financing and strategic advisory costs; Non-cash charge related to final orders on the January 2024 storm and damage and 2024 Reliability Contingency Event regulatory deferrals 2025: Business transformation and optimization expenses, including strategic advisory, workforce realignment and corporate structure update costs Due to the forward-looking nature of PGE’s non-GAAP adjusted earnings guidance, and the inherently unpredictable nature of items and events which could lead to the recognition of non-GAAP adjustments (such as, but not limited to, regulatory disallowances or extreme weather events), management is unable to estimate the occurrence or value of specific items requiring adjustment for future periods, which could potentially impact the Company’s GAAP earnings. Therefore, management cannot provide a reconciliation of non-GAAP adjusted earnings per share guidance to the most comparable GAAP financial measure without unreasonable effort. For the same reasons, management is unable to address the probable significance of unavailable information. PGE’s reconciliation of non-GAAP earnings for the three months ended March 31, 2026, June 30, 2025, September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2025 and the year ended December 31, 2025 are on the following slide.
