Quarterly Report for Quarter Ending 6/30/2026 (Form 10-Q)

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following discussion and analysis by management focuses on those factors that had a material effect on Xcel Energy's financial condition, results of operations and cash flows during the periods presented or are expected to have a material impact in the future. It should be read in conjunction with the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements and the related notes to consolidated financial statements. Due to the seasonality of Xcel Energy's operating results, quarterly financial results are not an appropriate base from which to project annual results.
The demand for electric power and natural gas is affected by seasonal differences in the weather. In general, peak sales of electricity occur in the summer months, and peak sales of natural gas occur in the winter months. As a result, the overall operating results may fluctuate substantially on a seasonal basis. Additionally, Xcel Energy's operations have historically generated less revenues and income when weather conditions are milder in the winter and cooler in the summer.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
The following discussion includes financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP, as well as certain non-GAAP financial measures such as ongoing earnings and ongoing diluted EPS. Generally, a non-GAAP financial measure is a measure of a company's financial performance, financial position or cash flows that adjusts measures calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP.
Xcel Energy's management uses non-GAAP measures for financial planning and analysis, for reporting results to the Board of Directors, in determining performance-based compensation and communicating its earnings outlook to analysts and investors. Non-GAAP financial measures are intended to supplement investors' understanding of our performance and should not be considered alternatives for financial measures presented in accordance with GAAP. These measures are discussed in more detail below and may not be comparable to other companies' similarly titled non-GAAP financial measures.
Earnings Adjusted for Certain Items (Ongoing Earnings and Ongoing Diluted EPS)
GAAP diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other agreements to issue common stock (i.e., common stock equivalents) were settled. The weighted average number of potentially dilutive shares outstanding used to calculate Xcel Energy Inc.'s diluted EPS is calculated using the treasury stock method.
Ongoing earnings reflect adjustments to GAAP earnings (net income) for certain items. Ongoing diluted EPS for Xcel Energy is calculated by dividing net income or loss, adjusted for certain items, by the weighted average fully diluted Xcel Energy Inc. common shares outstanding for the period. Ongoing diluted EPS for each subsidiary is calculated by dividing the net income or loss for such subsidiary, adjusted for certain items, by the weighted average fully diluted Xcel Energy Inc. common shares outstanding for the period.
We use these non-GAAP financial measures to evaluate and provide details of Xcel Energy's core earnings and underlying performance. For instance, to present ongoing earnings and ongoing diluted EPS, we may adjust the related GAAP amounts for certain items that are non-recurring in nature. We believe these measurements are useful to investors to evaluate the actual and projected financial performance and contribution of our subsidiaries. These non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered as an alternative to measures calculated and reported in accordance with GAAP.
The following table provides a reconciliation of GAAP earnings (net income) to ongoing earnings:

Tax effect (1) - (5) -
Ongoing earnings $ 589 $ 444 $ 1,156 $ 927
Prairie Island Outage Refunds - In March 2026, the ALJ recommended a disallowance of $41 million for estimated replacement power costs incurred during a 2023-2024 outage at NSP-Minnesota's Prairie Island nuclear facility. The MPUC ordered the ALJ-recommended disallowance in May 2026. Total non-recurring charges of $38 million were recorded to electric revenues during the six months ended June 30, 2026 for incremental customer refunds, including interest.
Marshall Wildfire Litigation - In the six months ended June 30, 2026, PSCo recognized $19 million of net reductions to operating expenses due primarily to an increase in the estimated amount recoverable from insurance for non-recurring Marshall Wildfire costs.
Results of Operations
The only common equity securities that are publicly traded are common shares of Xcel Energy Inc. Diluted earnings and EPS of each subsidiary discussed below do not represent a direct legal interest in the assets and liabilities allocated to such subsidiary but rather represent a direct interest in our assets and liabilities as a whole.
Xcel Energy's second quarter diluted GAAP and ongoing earnings were $0.93 per share compared with $0.75 per share in the same period in 2025. The change in earnings per share was primarily driven by increased recovery of electric infrastructure investments, partially offset by higher financing costs. Fluctuations in electric and natural gas revenues associated with changes in fuel and purchased power and/or natural gas sold and transported generally do not significantly impact earnings (changes in costs are offset by the related variation in revenues).

Summary of Earnings
PSCo - GAAP and ongoing earnings increased $0.06 per share for the second quarter of 2026. Year-to-date GAAP earnings increased $0.03 per share and ongoing earnings increased $0.01 per share. The increase in year-to-date ongoing earnings was driven by higher recovery of electric infrastructure investments which was partially offset by unfavorable weather. The difference between GAAP and ongoing earnings was driven by an increase in the estimated amount recoverable from insurance for Marshall Wildfire costs.
NSP-Minnesota - GAAP and ongoing earnings increased $0.05 per share for the second quarter of 2026. Year-to-date GAAP earnings increased $0.03 per share and ongoing earnings increased $0.07 per share. The year-to-date ongoing earnings increase was driven by higher recovery of electric and natural gas infrastructure investments, which was partially offset by increased interest charges. The difference between GAAP and ongoing earnings was driven by recognition of customer refunds related to the 2023-2024 Prairie Island nuclear facility outage.
SPS - GAAP and ongoing earnings increased $0.02 per share for the second quarter and $0.06 per share year-to-date. The year-to-date change was driven by sales growth and higher recovery of electric infrastructure investments, partially offset by increased depreciation expense.
NSP-Wisconsin - GAAP and ongoing earnings increased $0.01 per share for the second quarter and $0.05 year-to-date. The year-to-date change was driven by higher recovery of electric and natural gas infrastructure investments, partially offset by increased depreciation expense and interest charges.
Xcel Energy Inc. and Other - Primarily includes financing costs and interest income at the holding company and earnings from investment funds, which are accounted for as equity method investments. The increase in earnings was largely due to unrealized gains on the investment funds' interests in energy technology companies, partially offset by higher debt levels.

Statement of Income Analysis
The following summarizes the items that affected the individual revenue and expense items reported in the consolidated statements of income.
Estimated Impact of Temperature Changes on Regulated Earnings -Unusually hot summers or cold winters increase electric and natural gas sales, while mild weather reduces electric and natural gas sales. The estimated impact of weather on earnings is based on the number of customers, temperature variances, the amount of natural gas or electricity historically used per degree of temperature and excludes any incremental related operating expenses that could result due to storm activity or vegetation management requirements. As a result, weather deviations from normal levels can affect Xcel Energy's financial performance. However, electric sales true-up and gas decoupling mechanisms in Minnesota predominately mitigate the positive and adverse impacts of weather in that jurisdiction.
Degree-day or THI data is used to estimate amounts of energy required to maintain comfortable indoor temperature levels based on each day's average temperature and humidity. HDD is the measure of the variation in the weather based on the extent to which the average daily temperature falls below 65° Fahrenheit. CDD is the measure of the variation in the weather based on the extent to which the average daily temperature rises above 65° Fahrenheit.
Each degree of temperature above 65° Fahrenheit is counted as one CDD, and each degree of temperature below 65° Fahrenheit is counted as one HDD. In Xcel Energy's more humid service territories, a THI is used in place of CDD, which adds a humidity factor to CDD. HDD, CDD and THI are most likely to impact the usage of Xcel Energy's residential and commercial customers. Industrial customers are less sensitive to weather. Typically, sales are not impacted in the first or fourth quarter due to THI or CDD.
Normal weather conditions are defined as either the 10, 20 or 30-year average of actual historical weather conditions. The historical period of time used in the calculation of normal weather differs by jurisdiction, based on regulatory practice. To calculate the impact of weather on demand, a demand factor is applied to the weather impact on sales. Extreme weather variations, windchill and cloud cover may not be reflected in weather-normalized estimates.

•C&I sales - Increase is due to higher use per customer in SPS (6.0%) and NSP-Minnesota (2.0%) and customer growth in NSP-Wisconsin (1.0%). Increased activity in the energy sector in SPS and the manufacturing sector in all jurisdictions contributed to the sales growth.
Weather-normalized natural gas sales growth (decline) - year-to-date
•Decrease in natural gas sales was driven primarily by reduced use per customer in most jurisdictions and customer classes.
Electric Revenues
Electric revenues are impacted by fluctuations in the price of natural gas, coal and uranium, regulatory outcomes, market prices and seasonality. In addition, electric customers receive a credit for PTCs generated, which reduce electric revenue and income taxes.

Electric Fuel and Purchased Power - Expenses incurred for electric fuel and purchased power are impacted by fluctuations in market prices of electricity, natural gas, coal and uranium, as well as seasonality. These incurred expenses are generally recovered through various regulatory recovery mechanisms. As a result, changes in these expenses are largely offset in operating revenues and have minimal earnings impact. Electric fuel and purchased power expenses decreased $240 million for the second quarter of 2026 and $241 million year-to-date. The year-to-date change was primarily due to lower commodity prices, largely in SPS..
Cost of Natural Gas Sold and Transported - Expenses incurred for the cost of natural gas sold are impacted by market prices and seasonality. These costs are generally recovered through various regulatory recovery mechanisms. As a result, changes in these expenses are largely offset in operating revenues and have minimal earnings impact.
Natural gas sold and transported decreased $41 million for the second quarter of 2026 and $34 million year-to-date. The year-to-date change was primarily due to decreased volumes in PSCo, partially offset by higher commodity prices.
Non-Fuel Operating Expenses and Other Items
O&M Expenses - O&M expenses increased $16 million for the second quarter of 2026 and $5 million year-to-date. The year-to-date change was primarily due to increased generation costs.
Depreciation and Amortization - Depreciation and amortization decreased $60 million for the second quarter of 2026 and $20 million year-to-date. The year-to-date change was primarily due to the recognition of 2025 and 2026 depreciation reductions (nuclear life extensions) in the second quarter of 2026, partially offset by system expansion.
Interest Charges - Interest charges increased $94 million for the second quarter of 2026 and $174 million year-to-date. The year-to-date change was primarily due to higher debt levels.
Earnings from Equity Method Investments - Earnings from equity method investments increased $84 million for the second quarter of 2026 and $98 million year-to-date. The year-to-date change was primarily due to unrealized gains on investment funds' interests in energy technology companies in the first six months of 2026 and losses in the first six months of 2025.
AFUDC, Equity and Debt - AFUDC increased $54 million for the second quarter of 2026 and $115 million year-to-date. The year-to-date change was primarily due to system investment.
Public Utility Regulation and Other
The FERC and various state and local regulatory commissions regulate Xcel Energy Inc.'s utility subsidiaries and West Gas Interstate. Xcel Energy is subject to rate regulation by state utility regulatory agencies, which have jurisdiction with respect to the rates of electric and natural gas distribution companies in Minnesota, North Dakota, South Dakota, Wisconsin, Michigan, Colorado, New Mexico and Texas.
Rates are designed to recover plant investment, operating costs and an allowed return on investment. Our utility subsidiaries request changes in utility rates through commission filings. Changes in operating costs can affect Xcel Energy's financial results, depending on the timing of rate cases and implementation of final rates. Other factors affecting rate filings are new investments, sales, conservation and demand side management efforts and the cost of capital.
In addition, the regulatory commissions authorize the ROE, capital structure and depreciation rates in rate proceedings. Decisions by these regulators can significantly impact Xcel Energy's results of operations.
Except to the extent noted below, the circumstances set forth in Public Utility Regulation included in Item 7 of Xcel Energy's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended Dec. 31, 2025 appropriately represent, in all material respects, the current status of public utility regulation and are incorporated herein by reference.

•Equity ratio of 54.70%.
A hearing on the non-unanimous stipulation took place in July 2026. An NMPRC decision is anticipated in the fourth quarter of 2026, with implementation of rates expected in December 2026.
SPS Resource Acquisition - In October 2023, SPS filed its IRP with the NMPRC, which supports projected load growth and increasing reliability requirements, and secures replacement energy and capacity for retiring resources.
In July 2024, SPS issued a RFP, seeking approximately 3,200 MW of accredited capacity by 2030. In July 2025, the portfolio selection report was publicly filed with the NMPRC. SPS has received NMPRC approval of the CCN filings for the specific assets, and PUCT approval is expected in the third quarter. SPS is continuing to pursue approximately 2,800 MW of accredited resources, including approximately 4,000 MW of nameplate capacity company owned resources and approximately 500 MW of nameplate capacity PPAs.
In October 2025, SPS issued a RFP to solicit 870 MW of accredited capacity through 2032 (approximately 1,500 MW to 3,000 MW nameplate capacity, or more depending on resource mix), with additional resources to be evaluated to meet the New Mexico RPS compliance need. Bids were received in January 2026, and the portfolio selection report was publicly filed with the NMPRC in July 2026. Project CCNs are expected to be filed in late 2026 or early 2027.
The following resources are included in SPS' preferred portfolio:
Generation Resource Nameplate Capacity (in Megawatts) Company Owned PPAs Total
Wind resources 500 305 805
Solar 1,890 - 1,890
Solar + storage - 1,000 1,000
Natural gas 233 - 233
Total 2,623 1,305 3,928
Excess Liability Insurance Deferral - In early 2025, SPS filed requests with the NMPRC and PUCT for deferred accounting treatment for incremental excess liability insurance expense incurred as a result of the October 2024 policy renewal, estimated at approximately $30 million across the two jurisdictions. In October 2025, the NMPRC approved the request, resulting in a deferral of approximately $15 million of incremental excess liability insurance costs in 2025 and $7 million in the six months ended June 30, 2026. In January 2026, SPS, PUCT Staff and other intervenors filed a black box settlement expected to result in annual deferrals of approximately $8 million in 2026 and 2027. A PUCT decision is forthcoming.
Other
Tariffs, Trade Complaints and Federal Actions
Several trade cases related to anti-dumping and countervailing duty investigations are ongoing and we continue to monitor the potential impacts of these cases.
Executive orders have been issued imposing new global and country-specific tariffs on many imports, which may impact our procurement and development activities. Additionally, executive orders and actions from government agencies may impact the permitting of wind and solar facilities and the retirement of coal facilities.
Xcel Energy continues to assess the impacts of these tariffs, executive orders, trade complaints and federal policies on its business, including company owned projects and PPAs. Xcel Energy may seek regulatory relief, if required, in its jurisdictions.
Continued and/or further policy actions or other restrictions, disruptions in imports from key suppliers, or any new trade complaint could impact viability, timelines and costs of various projects and PPAs.
Large Load/Data Center Tariffs
In several of our jurisdictions, we have proposed tariffs applicable to large load customers. These tariffs are designed to allow us to serve these new customers and support local economic development while protecting existing customers from bearing the incremental costs to serve these loads.
While the details of these tariffs vary by jurisdiction, they generally include provisions to ensure data center customers pay the incremental costs to serve them, minimum demand or revenue requirements, termination or exit fees and customer security provisions. These tariffs and contracts are subject to approval by state regulatory commissions. The status of the filings in each jurisdiction is as follows.
NSP-Minnesota -The tariff, which was approved by the MPUC in June 2026, is mandatory for new loads over 100 MW and includes an incremental cost test, minimum initial term of 15 years, minimum bill provisions, termination and exit fees, and credit requirements.
NSP-Wisconsin - NSP-Wisconsin filed a proposed tariff in the second quarter of 2026, which would be mandatory for new loads over 100 MW and requires the customer pay for generation and other infrastructure costs needed to serve the load, if approved as filed. The proposed tariff also includes a minimum initial term of 15 years, minimum bill provisions, termination and exit fees, and credit requirements. A PSCW decision is expected in early 2027.
PSCo - The proposed tariff, filed in the second quarter of 2026, would be mandatory for new loads over 50 MW and requires the customer pay for generation and other infrastructure costs needed to serve the load. The proposed tariff also includes a minimum initial term of 15 years, minimum bill provisions, termination and exit fees, and credit requirements. A CPUC decision is expected in late 2026 or early 2027.
Similar large load tariff requests are expected to be filed in New Mexico and Texas by the end of 2026.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Preparation of the consolidated financial statements requires the application of accounting rules and guidance, as well as the use of estimates. Application of these policies involves judgments regarding future events, including the likelihood of success of particular projects, legal and regulatory challenges and anticipated recovery of costs. These judgments could materially impact the consolidated financial statements, based on varying assumptions. The financial and operating environment also may have a significant effect on the operation of the business and results reported. Items considered critical are included within the Xcel Energy Inc. Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended Dec. 31, 2025.
Environmental Regulation
Throughout 2025 and 2026, the EPA has announced various regulatory actions addressing a wide range of environmental regulations. Xcel Energy will continue to monitor proposed rules as they move toward final action. Additionally, any other amendments and changes to rules will be evaluated as proposed by the EPA.
Clean Air Act
Power Plant Greenhouse Gas Regulations - In April 2024, the EPA published final rules addressing control of CO2 emissions from the power sector. The rules regulate new natural gas generating units and emission guidelines for existing coal and certain natural gas generation.
Based on current estimates and assumptions, Xcel Energy has determined that due to scheduled plant retirements, there is minimal financial or operational impact associated with these requirements and believes that the cost of these initiatives or replacement generation would be recoverable through rates based on prior state commission practices.
In June 2025, the EPA proposed to repeal these and all other GHG emissions standards for the power sector. In the alternative, the EPA proposed to repeal a narrower subset of the 2024 regulations.
Endangerment Finding - In February 2026, the EPA issued a final rule repealing the 2009 Endangerment Finding and associated regulations addressing GHG emissions from new motor vehicles and engines under the Clean Air Act. Xcel Energy will monitor any additional proposed rules and evaluate the impacts of any final rule on the utility sector.
Emerging Contaminants of Concern
PFAS are man-made chemicals that are widely used in consumer products and can persist and bio-accumulate in the environment. Xcel Energy does not manufacture PFAS, but because PFAS are so ubiquitous in products and the environment, it may impact our operations.
In June 2024, the EPA finalized a rule that designated certain PFAS as hazardous substances under CERCLA. In July 2024, the EPA finalized another rule that set enforceable drinking water standards for certain PFAS.
Potential costs for these rules and any additional proposed regulations related to PFAS are uncertain and will be determined on a site specific basis where applicable. If costs are incurred, Xcel Energy believes the costs would be recoverable through rates based on prior state commission practices.
Effluent Limitation Guidelines
In April 2024, the EPA published final rules under the Clean Water Act, setting Effluent Limitations Guidelines and Standards for steam generating coal plants. This rule establishes more stringent wastewater discharge standards for bottom ash transport water, flue-gas desulfurization wastewater and combustion residuals leachate from steam electric power plants, particularly coal-fired power plants. Based on current estimates and assumptions, Xcel Energy has determined that there is minimal financial or operational impact associated with these requirements and that any costs would be recoverable through rates based on prior state commission practices.
Derivatives, Risk Management and Market Risk
We are exposed to a variety of market risks in the normal course of business. Market risk is the potential loss that may occur as a result of adverse changes in the market or fair value for a particular instrument or commodity. All financial and commodity-related instruments, including derivatives, are subject to market risk.
Xcel Energy is exposed to the impact of adverse changes in price for energy and energy-related products, which is partially mitigated by the use of commodity derivatives. In addition to ongoing monitoring and maintaining credit policies intended to minimize overall credit risk, management takes steps to mitigate changes in credit and concentration risks associated with its derivatives and other contracts, including parental guarantees and requests of collateral. While we expect that the counterparties will perform on the contracts underlying our derivatives, the contracts expose us to credit and non-performance risk.
Distress in the financial markets may impact counterparty risk and the fair value of the securities in the nuclear decommissioning fund and pension fund.
Commodity Price Risk - We are exposed to commodity price risk in our electric and natural gas operations. Commodity price risk is managed by entering into long and short-term physical purchase and sales contracts for electric capacity, energy and energy-related products and fuels used in generation and distribution activities.
Commodity price risk is also managed through the use of financial derivative instruments. Our risk management policy allows us to manage commodity price risk within each rate-regulated operation per commission approved hedge plans.
Wholesale and Commodity Trading Risk - Xcel Energy conducts various wholesale and commodity trading activities, including the purchase and sale of electric capacity, energy, energy-related instruments and natural gas-related instruments, including derivatives. Our risk management policy allows management to conduct these activities within guidelines and limitations as approved by our risk management committee.

Fair value of commodity trading net contracts outstanding at June 30 $ (18) $ (8)
A 10% increase and 10% decrease in forward market prices for Xcel Energy's commodity trading contracts would have likewise increased and decreased pretax income from continuing operations by approximately $2 million and $3 million at June 30, 2026 and June 30, 2025.
The utility subsidiaries' commodity trading operations measure the outstanding risk exposure to price changes on contracts and obligations using an industry standard methodology known as VaR. VaR expresses the potential change in fair value of the outstanding contracts and obligations over a particular period of time under normal market conditions.
The VaRs for the NSP-Minnesota and PSCo commodity trading operations, excluding both non-derivative transactions and derivative transactions designated as normal purchases and normal sales, calculated on a consolidated basis using a Monte Carlo simulation with a 95% confidence level and a one-day holding period, were as follows:
(Millions of Dollars) Three Months Ended June 30 Average High Low
2026 $ - $ 1 $ 1 $ -
2025 1 1 1 -
Interest Rate Risk - Xcel Energy is subject to interest rate risk. Our risk management policy allows interest rate risk to be managed through the use of fixed rate debt, floating rate debt and interest rate derivatives.
A 100-basis point change in the benchmark rate on Xcel Energy's variable rate debt would impact pretax interest expense annually by approximately $25 million and $8 million at June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively
NSP-Minnesota maintains a nuclear decommissioning fund, as required by the NRC. The nuclear decommissioning fund is subject to interest rate and equity price risk. The fund is invested in a diversified portfolio of debt securities, equity securities and other investments. These investments may be used only for the purpose of decommissioning NSP-Minnesota's nuclear generating plants.
Fluctuations in equity prices or interest rates affecting the nuclear decommissioning fund do not have a direct impact on earnings due to the application of regulatory accounting. Realized and unrealized gains on the decommissioning fund investments are deferred as an offset of NSP-Minnesota's regulatory liability for nuclear decommissioning costs.
The value of pension and postretirement plan assets and benefit costs are impacted by changes in discount rates and expected return on plan assets. Xcel Energy's ongoing pension and postretirement investment strategy is based on plan-specific investment recommendations that seek to optimize potential investment risk and minimize interest rate risk associated with changes in the obligations as a plan's funded status increases over time. The impacts of fluctuations in interest rates on pension and postretirement costs are mitigated by pension cost calculation methodologies and regulatory mechanisms that minimize the earnings impacts of such changes.
Credit Risk - Xcel Energy is also exposed to credit risk. Credit risk relates to the risk of loss resulting from counterparties' nonperformance on their contractual obligations. Xcel Energy maintains credit policies intended to minimize overall credit risk and actively monitors these policies to reflect changes and scope of operations.
Credit exposure is monitored, and when necessary, the activity with a specific counterparty is limited until credit enhancement is provided. Distress in the financial markets could increase our credit risk.
Xcel Energy's subsidiaries are subject to credit risk from contracts with generating equipment manufacturers and other suppliers that require deposits or milestone payments. In the event of non-performance by these counterparties, the Xcel Energy subsidiaries could experience credit losses, increased costs or project delays. Xcel Energy frequently seeks to mitigate this risk by requiring parent guarantees, letters of credit or other types of credit support.
Xcel Energy is also subject to credit risk for all wholesale, trading and non-trading commodity counterparties and employs credit risk controls, such as letters of credit, parental guarantees, master netting agreements and termination provisions.
At June 30, 2026, a 10% increase in commodity prices would have resulted in an increase in credit exposure of $30 million, while a decrease in prices of 10% would have resulted in a decrease in credit exposure of $27 million. At June 30, 2025, a 10% increase in commodity prices would have resulted in an increase in credit exposure of $39 million, while a decrease in prices of 10% would have resulted in a decrease in credit exposure of $38 million.
Fair Value Measurements
Derivative contracts, with the exception of those designated as normal purchases and normal sales, are reported at fair value. Xcel Energy's investments held in the nuclear decommissioning fund, rabbi trusts, pension and other postretirement funds are also subject to fair value accounting. See Note 8 to the consolidated financial statements for further information.

Earnings Guidance and Long-Term EPS and Dividend Growth Rate Objectives
Xcel Energy 2026 Earnings Guidance - Xcel Energy's 2026 ongoing earnings guidance is a range of $4.04 to $4.16 per share. (a)
Key assumptions as compared with 2025 actual levels unless noted:
•Constructive outcomes in all pending rate case and regulatory proceedings.
•Normal weather patterns for the remainder of the year.
•Weather-normalized retail electric sales are projected to increase ~3%.
•Weather-normalized retail firm natural gas sales are projected to increase ~1%.
•Capital rider revenue is projected to increase $480 million to $490 million.
•O&M expenses are projected to increase ~3%.
•Depreciation expense is projected to increase approximately $140 million to $150 million. The decrease from prior guidance is primarily due to nuclear life extensions, which is offset by lower revenue.
•Property taxes are projected to increase $30 million to $40 million.
•Interest expense (net of AFUDC - debt) is projected to increase $240 million to $250 million, net of interest income.
•AFUDC - equity is projected to increase $150 million to $160 million.
(a)Ongoing earnings is calculated using net income and adjusting for certain nonrecurring or infrequent items that are, in management's view, not reflective of ongoing operations. Ongoing earnings could differ from those prepared in accordance with GAAP for unplanned and/or unknown adjustments. As Xcel Energy is unable to quantify the financial impacts of any additional adjustments that may occur for the year, we are unable to provide a quantitative reconciliation of the guidance for ongoing EPS to corresponding GAAP EPS.
Long-Term EPS and Dividend Growth Rate Objectives - Xcel Energy expects to deliver an attractive total return to our shareholders through a combination of earnings growth and dividend yield, based on the following long-term objectives:
• Deliver long-term annual EPS growth of 6% to 8+% based off of $3.80 per share.
• Deliver annual dividend increases of 4% to 6%.
• Target a dividend payout ratio of 45% to 55%.
• Maintain senior secured debt credit ratings in the "A" range.
