Portland General Electric announces 2020 financial results and initiates 2021 earnings guidance
•Full-year 2020 financial results of $1.72 per diluted share
•New goals set to reduce emissions associated with the power supplied to customers by at least 80% by 2030
•Initiating 2021 earnings guidance of $2.55 to $2.70 per diluted share
•Reaffirming 4% to 6% long-term diluted earnings per share growth using 2019 base year
•Significant progress on operational and sustainability initiatives, including fleet decarbonization
PORTLAND, Oregon -- Portland General Electric Company (NYSE: POR) today reported net income based on generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) of $155 million, or $1.72 per diluted share, for the year ended December 31, 2020, which includes the $1.03 loss per diluted share from previously disclosed energy trading losses. After adjusting for the impact of the energy trading losses, non-GAAP net income was $247 million, or $2.75 per diluted share. This compares with GAAP net income of $214 million, or $2.39 per diluted share, for the year ended December 31, 2019. GAAP net income was $52 million, or $0.57 per diluted share, for the fourth quarter of 2020. This compares with GAAP net income of $61 million, or $0.68 per diluted share, for the fourth quarter of 2019.
“PGE delivered solid results in 2020, as we navigated numerous challenges,” said Maria Pope, PGE president and CEO. “We focused on productivity across our operations and our teams executed well, building resiliency into the grid and responding to historic natural events. These operational improvements set us up well to advance our strategy in 2021 and beyond. Improved technology helped reduce costs, as our team learned to overcome the challenges brought on by the pandemic. Importantly, we outlined new ambitious clean energy initiatives that will be foundational to our efforts to ensure the continued supply of reliable and affordable electricity to our fellow Oregonians. We are as confident as ever in PGE’s long-term growth potential.”
2020 Year in Review
PGE is focused on leading Oregon on a path to a clean energy future, helping customers maximize their energy journey with clean and innovative solutions that are also safe, reliable and affordable. At the same time, PGE recognizes the economic challenges and social injustices that many in our community are experiencing due to the pandemic and systemic barriers that put our most vulnerable customers at a disadvantage. The Company’s strategy strives to balance these interests, and the accomplishments below reflect PGE’s progress and continued work toward these strategic objectives:
•Announced the goal of reducing greenhouse gas emissions associated with the power we serve by 80% by 2030, and achieving companywide net-zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2040;
•Closed Boardman, the last coal-fired power generating plant in Oregon;
•Opened the Wheatridge Renewable Energy Facility, one of the first large-scale energy facilities in the United States to combine wind, solar and battery storage;
Page 1
•Gained regulatory approval for our Transportation Electrification Plan, which creates opportunities to develop electric vehicle charging infrastructure and support customers’ electrification plans;
•Achieved a perfect score on the Human Rights Campaign Foundation’s Corporate Equality Index, reflecting our ongoing dedication to creating a diverse, equitable and inclusive workplace and earned inclusion in the Bloomberg Gender-Equality Index; and
•PGE, employees, retirees and the PGE Foundation donated $5.6 million and volunteered 18,200 hours with more than 400 nonprofits across Oregon.
2020 Earnings Compared to 2019 Earnings
Total revenue increased due to higher energy demand, which was partially offset by impacts associated with COVID-19. Net variable power costs were favorable, excluding the impact of the energy trading losses. Operating and administrative expenses declined, as PGE implemented technology efficiencies throughout its operations. Depreciation and amortization expense increased due to higher plant in service from capital additions in 2020, and remeasurement of the Company's only non-utility Asset Retirement Obligation. Production Tax Credit generation was higher than forecast due to more production at PGE’s wind facilities.
2021 Earnings Guidance
PGE is initiating full-year 2021 earnings guidance of $2.55 to $2.70 per diluted share based on the following assumptions:
•An increase in energy deliveries between 1% and 1.5%, weather adjusted, which reflects the continued impacts of COVID-19:
◦Elevated residential deliveries through the second quarter of 2021;
◦Reduced commercial deliveries in the first quarter of 2021, with improvement beginning in the second quarter; and
◦Strong industrial customer deliveries;
•Normal temperatures in its utility service territory;
•Average hydro conditions for the year;
•Wind generation based on five years of historical levels or forecast studies when historical data is not available;
•Normal thermal plant operations;
•Capital expenditures of $655 million;
•Average construction work in progress balance of $340 million;
•Operating and maintenance expense between $575 million and $595 million;
•Depreciation and amortization expense between $410 million and $430 million;
•Effective tax rate of 15% to 20%;
•Cash from operations of $600 to $650 million;
•No new common equity to be issued for investment or operations; and
•Continuation of existing regulatory mechanisms during 2021, including decoupling, the PCAM, the COVID-19 deferral, and the wildfire recovery deferral.
Company Updates
New net-zero emissions goal
As previously announced, PGE aims to achieve net-zero greenhouse gas emissions companywide by 2040. This goal will touch every part of PGE’s business, including the power delivered to customers, as we recognize this is our largest source of greenhouse gas emissions. In doing so, PGE also aims to reduce greenhouse gas emissions in the power served to customers by at least 80% below 2010 levels by 2030, with an aspirational goal of achieving zero greenhouse emissions associated with power served to customers by 2040. Meeting these goals will require PGE to continue investing in new clean energy technologies that decarbonize our system while keeping the system reliable and affordable.

Integrated Resource Plan (IRP)
In January 2021, PGE filed an update with the Public Utility Commission of Oregon (OPUC) to the 2019 IRP. PGE’s proposed action plan is unchanged from its prior plan, which was acknowledged by the Commission in May 2019. PGE currently plans to seek approval to launch an RFP process in 2021 but will continue to consider customer and stakeholder interests as it evaluates timing.
Quarterly dividend
As previously announced, on February 17, 2021, the board of directors of Portland General Electric Company approved a quarterly common stock dividend of 40.75 cents per share. The quarterly dividend is payable on or before April 15, 2021 to shareholders of record at the close of business on March 25, 2021.
Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2020 Earnings Call and Webcast — Feb. 19, 2021
PGE will host a conference call with financial analysts and investors on Friday, Feb. 19, 2021, at 11 a.m. ET. The conference call will be webcast live on the PGE website at investors.portlandgeneral.com. A replay of the call will be available beginning at 2 p.m. ET on Friday, Feb. 19, 2021, through 2 p.m. ET on Friday, Feb. 26, 2021.
Maria Pope, president and CEO; Jim Ajello, senior vice president of Finance, CFO, and treasurer; and Jardon Jaramillo, senior director, Investor Relations, Treasury, and Risk Management will participate in the call. Management will respond to questions following formal comments.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Management believes that excluding the effects of the previously disclosed energy trading losses provides a meaningful representation of the Company’s comparative earnings per share. The Company has adjusted this amount to maintain comparability between periods. The effect of the energy trading losses was $1.03 per diluted share on a full-year basis. PGE’s reconciliation of non-GAAP earnings for the twelve months ended December 31, 2020 is below.
