Rhea-AI Filing Summary

Portland General Electric Company agreed to acquire PacifiCorp’s Washington electric utility operations and select generation assets for $1.9 billion in cash, partnering with Manulife Investment Management as a minority joint venture owner. The deal adds about 140,000 customers, roughly 800 MW of generation, and thousands of miles of transmission and distribution lines, and is expected to be accretive to earnings in the first full year after closing, subject to extensive state and federal regulatory approvals.

To support the purchase, PGE arranged up to $1.9 billion in bridge financing and a $681 million term loan facility, alongside up to $600 million of equity from Manulife. Separately, PGE reported 2025 GAAP EPS of $2.77 and non-GAAP EPS of $3.05, and initiated 2026 adjusted EPS guidance of $3.33–$3.53 per diluted share, targeting 5% to 7% long-term EPS growth.

Positive

  • Transformational Washington acquisition: Agreement to buy PacifiCorp’s Washington utility operations and select generation for $1.9 billion, adding roughly 140,000 customers and ~800 MW of generation at about 1.4x estimated 2026 rate base, with management expecting first full-year EPS accretion.
  • Visible growth and guidance: 2025 non-GAAP EPS of $3.05 alongside 2026 adjusted EPS guidance of $3.33–$3.53 per diluted share and a reiterated 5%–7% long-term EPS growth target, supported by strong industrial demand and sizable capital investment.

Negative

  • None.

Insights

PGE is using a large Washington acquisition to expand regulated scale and guided EPS growth.

PGE plans to buy PacifiCorp’s Washington utility for $1.9 billion, adding about 140,000 customers and roughly 800 MW of generation at about 1.4x estimated 2026 rate base. Management expects the transaction to be accretive in the first full year after closing and to enhance long-term EPS and dividend growth.

Financing relies on a mix of bridge debt, a $681 million term facility, and up to $600 million of equity from Manulife Investment Management, plus utility-level debt at the acquired business. This structure seeks to preserve strong investment-grade credit metrics while funding increased rate base and capital needs.

Operationally, PGE is layering this deal onto robust organic growth, including 430 MW of new data center contracts and 2025 industrial load growth of 14%. The company reported 2025 non-GAAP EPS of $3.05 and set 2026 adjusted EPS guidance of $3.33–$3.53, supported by $1.655 billion in planned 2026 capital expenditures and a long-term 5%–7% EPS growth target.

Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

 

On February 15, 2026, Portland General Electric Company, an Oregon corporation (“PGE”), through a newly formed, wholly owned subsidiary (“Buyer”), entered into an Asset Purchase and Service Area Transfer Agreement (the “Agreement) with PacifiCorp, an Oregon corporation (the “Seller”). PGE is party to the Agreement as guarantor of the Buyer’s obligations through the closing of the transactions contemplated by the Agreement (the “Closing”). Under the Agreement, the Buyer will acquire certain assets (the “Transferred Assets”) and assume certain liabilities (the “Assumed Liabilities”) related to: (i) the electric transmission and distribution business conducted by the Seller serving customers in the Washington counties of Lewis, Yakima, Walla Walla, Columbia, Garfield and Benton (the “Service Area”); and (ii) the ownership and operation of the following generation facilities, including related interconnection and other facilities: Chehalis combined cycle gas turbine in Lewis County (“Chehalis”), Goodnoe Hills Wind in Klickitat County and Marengo I and Marengo II Wind in Columbia County (the “Business”). In connection with the Closing, the Buyer will assume the obligation to provide electric service in the Service Area. Certain liabilities are excluded from this transaction, including liabilities associated with wildfires outside of Washington. Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined have the meanings set forth in the Agreement.

 

Pursuant to the Agreement, in consideration for the Transferred Assets, the Buyer will pay at the Closing $1.9 billion in cash plus additional cash consideration for the value of specified assets delivered at closing (the “Cash Consideration”). The Cash Consideration is subject to certain adjustments as specified in the Agreement and excludes consideration for certain Non-Finalized Regulatory Assets, which will be determined and paid after the Closing upon final regulatory determination.

 

In connection with its entry into the Agreement, PGE entered into a debt commitment letter, dated February 15, 2026, and related fee letters with Barclays Bank PLC and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. (together, the “Commitment Parties”), pursuant to which, and subject to the terms and conditions set forth therein, the Commitment Parties have committed to provide to PGE up to $1.9 billion in an aggregate principal amount of senior unsecured bridge loans under a 364-day bridge loan credit facility (the “Bridge Facility”). The Bridge Facility is subject to customary commitment reductions in the event that certain permanent financing or other proceeds are obtained on or prior to the Closing and to customary closing conditions, including that, substantially concurrently with the initial funding under the Bridge Facility, the Transaction shall be consummated.

 

PGE also entered into a credit facilities engagement letter, dated February 15, 2026, and a related fee letter with the Commitment Parties, pursuant to which, and subject to the terms and conditions set forth therein, the Commitment Parties agreed to use commercially reasonable efforts to arrange $681 million in aggregate principal amount of senior unsecured delayed draw term loans under a 364-day term loan credit facility (the “Term Facility” and, together with the Bridge Facility, the “Debt Facilities”) and have committed to provide $476.7 million of such Term Facility. The proceeds of the loans under the Debt Facilities, to the extent drawn upon by PGE and/or the Buyer, as applicable, would be used to finance, in part, the Transaction and the payment of fees and expenses incurred in connection with the Transaction.

 

The Buyer expects to finance up to $600 million of the Cash Consideration with equity commitments from Manulife Infrastructure Fund III, L.P. and its affiliates including John Hancock Life Insurance Company (U.S.A.) and the remainder with the proceeds of debt financing. Assuming the Closing of the transactions contemplated by the Agreement (the “Transaction”) and the consummation of the financing transaction described above, Manulife Investment Management will be PGE's joint venture partner in the ownership of the Business.

Consummation of the Transaction is subject to customary closing conditions and the absence of any law or order restraining, enjoining, or otherwise prohibiting the Transaction. The Agreement is also subject to closing conditions for (i) the receipt of regulatory approvals for the execution, delivery, and performance of the Agreement and the consummation of the Transaction, including under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended (“HSR”), Section 203 of the Federal Power Act from the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (“FERC”), the Washington Utilities and Transportation Commission (“WUTC”), the Public Utility Commission of Oregon (“OPUC”) (including the Buyer’s purchase of the Transferred Assets (“Asset Purchase Approval”)); the Idaho Public Utilities Commission (“IPUC”), the Public Service Commission of Utah (“UPSC”), the Public Utilities Commission of the State of California (“CPUC”) and the Public Service Commission of Wyoming (“WPSC”); (ii) receipt of a waiver from FERC with respect to the bidding and posting obligations under FERC’s regulations with regard to two gas transportation agreements related to Chehalis; (iii) the transfer, assignment, reissuance, or issuance in the name of the Buyer of certain specified business permits; and (iv) the receipt of certain additional specified federal and state regulatory approvals (collectively, the “Required Regulatory Approvals”), in each case, without the imposition of an unduly burdensome regulatory condition (“Burdensome Condition”). In addition, the Agreement contains closing conditions related to the non-occurrence of a wildfire casualty event that is continuing which would be reasonably expected to have an aggregate liability to the Acquired Business, taken as a whole, after giving effect to the completion of the Transaction of greater than $35 million in excess of available insurance coverage applicable to such liabilities. The establishment of a Holding Company, currently being evaluated by the OPUC, is not a closing condition to the Transaction.

 

The Agreement also contains customary representations, warranties, and covenants for a transaction of this type, including, among others, covenants regarding (i) the Seller’s conduct of the Business prior to the Closing, (ii) cooperation and efforts (including the preparation of filings and taking other actions) to obtain Required Regulatory Approvals, (iii) financing cooperation, and (iv) public announcements.

 

The Agreement contains certain customary termination rights, including the right of each of the Seller and the Buyer to terminate the Agreement after August 15, 2027 (the “Outside Date”); provided that the Outside Date will automatically be extended for six months if, at that time, all closing conditions (other than those to be satisfied at the Closing or those relating to the receipt of certain regulatory approvals) are satisfied or are capable of being satisfied at the Closing. The right to terminate on this basis is not available to a party whose breach was the primary cause of the failure to close by the Outside Date.

 

The Agreement provides for a $35 million termination fee payable by the Buyer to the Seller if the Agreement is terminated due to (i) failure to obtain applicable antitrust clearances or FERC approval (other than, with respect to FERC approval, as a result of the imposition of a Burdensome Condition), (ii) a WUTC determination that the rate base of the Transferred Assets is less than $1.36 billion (or a failure by WUTC to make a determination as to the rate base of the Transferred Assets), or (iii) the Buyer terminating the Agreement due to the existence of certain uncured real property title issues. The Agreement also provides for a $35 million termination fee payable by the Seller to the Buyer if the Agreement is terminated due to (i) failure to obtain certain state regulatory approvals from the IPUC, UPSC, WPSC, WUTC or OPUC, in each case other than as a result of the imposition of a Burdensome Condition); (ii) a termination by the Seller due to a negative decommissioning proceeding outcome resulting in a Burdensome Condition to the Seller; or (iii) an outcome in the Seller’s Multistate Protocol proceedings resulting in a Burdensome Condition to the Seller, in each case as further described in the Agreement.

 

The Agreement also provides that either party may seek specific performance to enforce its obligations under the

3


 

Agreement, subject to the terms and conditions set forth therein; provided that in no event will the Seller be entitled to receive both a grant of specific performance requiring the Buyer to consummate the Closing and payment of the Termination Fee.

 

The foregoing description of the Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by the full text of the Agreement, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 2.1 hereto and is incorporated by reference herein. The Agreement has been attached to provide investors with information regarding its terms. It is not intended to provide any other factual information about PGE, the Buyer, the Seller, or the Transferred Assets. In particular, the representations, warranties, and covenants of each party set forth in the Agreement have been made only for the purposes of, and were and are solely for the benefit of, the parties to the Agreement, may be subject to limitations agreed upon by the contracting parties, including being qualified by confidential disclosure letter made for the purposes of allocating contractual risk between the parties to the Agreement instead of establishing these matters as facts, and may be subject to standards of materiality applicable to the contracting parties that differ from those applicable to investors. Accordingly, the representations and warranties may not describe the actual state of affairs at the date they were made or at any other time, and investors should not rely on them as statements of fact. The confidential disclosure letter contains information that modifies, qualifies and creates exceptions to the representations and warranties and certain covenants set forth in the Agreement.

PGE to host a conference call and webcast today, February 17, at 8:00am Eastern Time

 

PORTLAND, Oregon -- Portland General Electric Company (NYSE: POR) today announced an agreement to acquire select Washington state generation, transmission and electric utility operations from PacifiCorp for $1.9 billion, representing a purchase price multiple of 1.4x estimated 2026 rate base. The acquisition will enable PGE to extend its long-standing commitments to reliability, affordability, economic development and a customer centric approach to approximately 140,000 Washington customers. PGE expects accretion in the first full year upon closing and overall enhancement of PGE’s long-term EPS and dividend growth from the transaction.

 

“We are excited for the opportunity to continue to grow, expanding into Washington and building upon PGE's foundation of operational excellence and customer service," said Maria Pope, president and CEO. "We look forward to our partnership with Manulife Investment Management, who brings a track record of investment success across the utility sector and Pacific Northwest agriculture and timberland industries."

Under the agreement, PGE will acquire three generation facilities: the Chehalis natural-gas plant (477 MW), the Goodnoe Hills wind facility (94 MW), and the Marengo I and II wind facilities (234 MW). The acquisition also includes 4,500 miles of transmission and distribution lines, and local utility operations across 2,700 square miles.

Central to this acquisition is PGE’s partnership with Manulife Infrastructure Fund III, L.P. and its affiliates including John Hancock Life Insurance Company (USA), which will collectively be a minority owner of the Washington utility business. Manulife Investment Management is an experienced, long-term investor in infrastructure, agriculture, and timberland with roots in the region - having managed farms and forests in the Pacific Northwest for more than two decades.

PGE will manage the Washington operations as a separate company through a newly formed subsidiary regulated by the Washington Utilities and Transportation Commission. PGE expects the state and federal regulatory reviews of the acquisition to close 12 months after submission of regulatory filings.

Lazard served as lead financial advisor and provided a fairness opinion to Portland General Electric. Barclays, J.P. Morgan and Citi also served as financial advisors to Portland General Electric. Latham & Watkins served as legal advisor to Portland General Electric. Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC served as financial advisor to Manulife Investment Management. Simpson Thacher & Bartlett LLP served as legal advisor to Manulife Investment Management.

2025 Financial Results

 

Today, PGE also reported net income based on generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) of $306 million, or $2.77 per diluted share, for the year ended December 31, 2025. After adjusting for the impact of business transformation and optimization expenses, 2025 non-GAAP net income was $336 million, or $3.05 per diluted share.

This compares with GAAP net income of $313 million, or $3.01 per diluted share, for the year ended December 31, 2024. After adjusting for the impact of the January 2024 winter storms, 2024 non-GAAP net income was $327 million, or $3.14 per diluted share.

GAAP net income was $41 million, or $0.36 per diluted share, for the fourth quarter of 2025. After adjusting for the impact of business transformation and optimization expenses, fourth quarter 2025 non-GAAP net income was $53 million, or $0.47 per diluted share. This compares with GAAP net income of $39 million, or $0.36 per diluted share, for the fourth quarter of 2024.

2025 Earnings Compared to 2024 Earnings

On a GAAP basis, total revenues increased, driven by continued demand growth from data center and high-tech customers and improved cost recovery. Purchased power and fuel expense declined slightly, reflecting stable market conditions and lower commodity prices. Operating and maintenance expenses remained largely flat. Depreciation and amortization expense and interest expense increased due to ongoing capital investment. Income tax expense increased primarily due to lower production tax credit benefits.

 

Additional Company Updates

High-tech and Data Center Growth

In 2025 and the first part of 2026, PGE executed five contracts with data center customers for 430 MW. The contracts build on PGE's track record of strong industrial demand, which has grown at a 10% compounded annual growth rate from 2020 to 2025, and forecast to continue at this rate through 2030.

Resource Procurement

2023 Request for Proposals (RFP) - After a robust and competitive bidding and negotiating process as part of the 2023 RFP, PGE has entered into agreements to construct two solar and battery hybrid projects for a total of 615 MWs. Agreements for the PGE-owned resources include:

Biglow Optimization - 125 MW solar facility and 125 MW BESS located in Sherman County, Oregon, with an investment of approximately $540 million, excluding AFUDC. The project has an estimated commercial operation date at the end of 2027.
Wheatridge Expansion - 240 MW solar facility and 125 MW BESS located in Morrow County, Oregon. PGE will own 110 MW of solar and 65 MW of BESS production capacity with an investment of approximately $490 million, excluding AFUDC. NextEra Energy, Inc. will operate the facility, own the remaining 130 MW of solar and 60 MW of BESS production capacity and sell their portion of the output to PGE under a 30-year PPA. The project has an estimated commercial operation date at the end of 2027.

 

Additional Procurement Activities - PGE has also entered into the following agreements:

Meadowlark BESS - a 20-year storage capacity agreement for a 200 MW BESS located in Washington County, Oregon. This project will be owned by Copenhagen Infrastructure Partners, LLC and has an estimated commercial operation date at the end of 2027.
Nottingham BESS - a 20-year storage capacity agreement for a 200 MW BESS located in Washington County, Oregon. This project has an estimated commercial operation date in 2028.

 

2025 Request for Proposals - PGE plans to file a request for acknowledgement of the final shortlist of bidders for the 2025 All-source RFP to the Public Utility Commission of Oregon (OPUC) on February 17, 2026. The final shortlist, which totals approximately 5,000 MW, is made up of both renewables and non-emitting capacity projects.

PGE is proceeding to commercial negotiations with projects on the final shortlist, prioritizing those that include renewable generation, have a viable pathway to achieve commercial operations earlier in the 2028 - 2030 eligibility period and to maximize tax credits to reduce project costs. The ultimate outcome of the RFP process may involve the selection of multiple projects for both renewable and non-emitting dispatchable capacity resources, which PGE expects will be approximately 2,500 MW in total.

Quarterly Dividend

As previously announced, on February 13, 2026, the board of directors of Portland General Electric Company approved a quarterly common stock dividend of $0.525 per share. The quarterly dividend is payable on or before April 15, 2026 to shareholders of record at the close of business on March 23, 2026.

2026 Earnings Guidance

PGE is reaffirming 5% to 7% long-term earnings per share growth using a base of $3.08 per diluted share, the mid-point of original 2024 adjusted earnings guidance.

PGE is also initiating full-year 2026 adjusted earnings guidance of $3.33 to $3.53 per diluted share based on the following assumptions:

An increase in energy deliveries between 2.5% and 3.5%, weather adjusted;
Execution of power cost and financing plans;
Execution of operating cost controls;
Normal temperatures in its utility service area;
Hydro conditions for the year that reflect current estimates;

Operating and maintenance expense between $820 million and $840 million which includes approximately $155 million of wildfire, vegetation management, deferral amortization and other expenses that are offset in other income statement lines and $15 million of business transformation and optimization expenses;
Depreciation and amortization expense between $560 million and $580 million;
Effective tax rate of 15% to 20%;
Cash from operations of $1,000 to $1,200 million;
Capital expenditures of $1,655 million; and
Average construction work in progress balance of $850 million.

 

 

Business Update, Fourth Quarter and Full-Year 2025 Earnings Call and Webcast — Feb. 17, 2026

PGE will host a conference call with financial analysts and investors on Tuesday, February 17, 2026, at 8 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 February 17, 2026. This conference call will replace the previously scheduled conference call on February 20, 2026.

 

Maria Pope, President and CEO; Joe Trpik, Senior Vice President of Finance and CFO; and Nick White, Manager of Investor Relations, will participate in the call. Management will respond to questions following formal comments.

 

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:

Business transformation and optimization expenses, including strategic advisory, workforce realignment and corporate structure update costs
Non-deferrable Reliability Contingency Event (RCE) costs resulting from the January 2024 winter storm

 

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.

Statements in this press release 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. These forward-looking statements represent our estimates and assumptions as of the date of this report, and the Company assumes no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statement as a result of new information, future events or other factors. Investors should not rely unduly on any forward-looking statements.

Forward-looking statements include statements, other than statements of historical or current fact, regarding the Company's earnings guidance (including all the assumptions and expectations upon which such guidance is based), the Company’s proposed purchase of electric utility operations and certain assets in Washington state from PacifiCorp (the “Acquisition”), the Company’s financing plans for the Acquisition, the timing of the closing of the Acquisition, and the realization of anticipated benefits of the Acquisition, 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: the timing or outcome of various legal and regulatory actions; closing of the Acquisition being delayed or not occurring at all due to regulatory approvals not being obtained or other closing conditions not being fulfilled; opposition of the Acquisition from special interest groups; the Acquisition may encounter unanticipated delays or be postponed or canceled due to the occurrence of any event, change or other circumstance or condition that could give rise to the delay or termination of the Acquisition; the ability of the Company and Manulife Investment Management to obtain financing and remain invested in the acquired business; successful integration of the acquired business and the Company’s ability to achieve the anticipated benefits of the Acquisition within the expected timeframe; the acquired assets not performing as expected; the Company assuming unexpected risks, liabilities and obligations of the acquired assets; significant transaction costs associated with the Acquisition; the risk that disruptions from the Acquisition will harm the businesses, including current plans and operations; the ability to retain and/or hire key personnel to successfully operate and integrate the acquired assets; potential adverse reactions or changes to business relationships resulting from the announcement or completion of the Acquisition; new or revised governmental policies, executive orders, legislative actions, and regulatory audits, investigations and actions; uncertainties associated with increased energy demand or significant accelerated growth in demand due to new data centers; general economic conditions; trade tariffs; rising inflation; volatility in interest rates; changes in the tax code and treatment of tax credits; risks and uncertainties related to current or future All-Source Request for Proposals; changing customer expectations and choices that may reduce customer demand; natural or human-caused disasters and other risks or events that disrupt PGE operations, damage PGE facilities and systems, cause the release of harmful materials, cause fires, and subject the Company to liability; ignitions caused by PGE assets or PGE’s ability to effectively implement a Public Safety Power Shutoffs (PSPS) and de-energize its system in the event of heightened wildfire risk or implement effective system hardening programs; impacts from legislative action on wildfire-related liability; operational factors affecting the Company's power generating and battery storage facilities; default or nonperformance on the part of any parties from whom PGE purchases fuel, capacity or energy; complications arising from PGE’s jointly-owned plant; delays in the supply chain and increased supply costs; failure to complete capital projects on schedule or within budget; failure to obtain permits necessary to operate the business; PGE’s ability to complete negotiations on contracts for capital projects; failure of counterparties to perform under agreements for capital projects; abandonment of capital projects; volatility in wholesale power and natural gas prices; changes in the availability and price of wholesale power and fuels; changes in capital market conditions; future laws, regulations and proceedings that could increase the Company’s costs of operating its thermal generating plants; changes in, and compliance with, and general uncertainty surrounding environmental laws and policies; the effects of climate change, whether global or local in nature; changes in customer growth or demographic patterns; changes in the Company's or

Structure of transaction PGE’s Proposed Corporate Structure Update Transaction Description Illustrative Pro Forma Structure(1) PacifiCorp, a subsidiary of Berkshire Hathaway Energy, is a regulated electric utility serving customers in portions of UT, OR, WY, WA, ID and CA PGE has agreed to acquire select PacifiCorp utility assets serving in WA Regulatory approvals required in all Portland General and PacifiCorp jurisdictions and from FERC Upon closing, PGE and Manulife IM will form a joint venture to own the regulated utility in WA, which PGE will operate Closing expected to occur following an approximately 12 month regulatory approval process In July 2025, PGE proposed a corporate structure update that would form a Holding Company and create Portland General Transmission(2) If the Holding Company is approved, the Washington Utility will become a subsidiary of HoldCo(3) at closing PGE HoldCo (2) Manulife IM PGE Shareholders 100% 100% 49% PGE Oregon WA Utility PGE Transmission Co 51% Structure shown for illustrative purposes, actual corporate structure may differ upon closing of the transaction. PGE’s proposed corporate structure update (docket UM 2385) includes a target final order date of June 25, 2026. Management cannot predict the outcome of the proceeding and all items are subject to OPUC approval. The successful completion of the transaction is not dependent on the establishment of a Holding Company. Without Holding Company formation, transaction would result in the creation of an operating subsidiary that consolidates to the Portland General Electric operating company


Slide 19

Financing plan for transaction Expected Financing Plan Illustrative Pro Forma Structure and Financing (1) PGE obtained commitments for the $1.9B purchase price, including a bridge from Barclays and J.P. Morgan and commitment from Manulife IM PGE expects to utilize a combination of permanent financing sources, including: ~$600 million equity contribution from Manulife IM ~$600 million raised at HoldCo(3) ~$700 million secured debt at WA Utility $600 million PGE HoldCo(2) Manulife IM PGE Shareholders 100% 100% 49% PGE Oregon Operating Co WA Utility PGE Transmission Co 51% All entities are expected to have strong investment grade credit ratings $700 million $600 million Structure shown for illustrative purposes, actual corporate structure may differ upon closing of the transaction. PGE’s proposed corporate structure update (docket UM 2385) includes a target final order date of June 25, 2026. Management cannot predict the outcome of the proceeding and all items are subject to OPUC approval. The successful completion of the transaction is not dependent on the establishment of a Holding Company. Without Holding Company formation, necessary financing would occur at the PGE Oregon Operating Company utilizing a combination of debt, equity or equity content securities.

Washington regulatory construct Multiyear rate plans (MYRP): 2021 legislation drove reform of the regulatory framework to incorporate MYRPs of 2-4 years, and performance-based ratemaking; the reforms enhance earnings stability and reduce filing frequency Fuel cost recovery: power cost adjustment mechanisms allow utilities to true-up actual fuel and market costs, limiting exposure to price volatility Purchased power cost recovery: ensures utilities can recover market purchases and PPA costs needed to meet load, supporting stable margins (includes deadband + sharing mechanisms) Return adders for distributed generation investments and energy efficiency: financial incentive for utilities to invest in local energy projects or help customers use energy more efficiently Securitization for early thermal retirements: enables low-cost financing of undepreciated coal/thermal plant balances, lowering stranded-cost risk and customer impacts Securitization for costs related to disasters or emergencies: helps utilities appropriately manage costs from unexpected natural disasters 24 Washington Utilities and Transportation Commission (WUTC) is a three-member commission appointed by Washington’s Governor and confirmed by the state senate for 6-year terms General rate cases utilize historical test year Washington regulatory framework for utilities has been modernized in recent years and includes a number of supportive provisions      


Slide 25

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: 2025: Business transformation and optimization expenses, including strategic advisory, workforce realignment and corporate structure update costs 2024: Non-deferrable Reliability Contingency Event (RCE) costs resulting from the January 2024 winter storm 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 June 30, 2025, the three months ended September 30, 2025, the three months ended December 31, 2025, the year ended December 31, 2025, the three months ended March 31, 2024 and the year ended December 31, 2024 are on the following slide.
