FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

NextEra Energy reports first-quarter 2021 financial results
NextEra Energy delivers strong financial and operational results
FPL's continued investments in the business to further advance its customer value proposition result in residential bills well below the national average and best-ever service reliability
NextEra Energy Resources has excellent quarter of origination, adding approximately 1,750 megawatts of contracted renewables and storage to its backlog

JUNO BEACH, Fla. - NextEra Energy, Inc. (NYSE: NEE) today reported 2021 first-quarter net income attributable to NextEra Energy on a GAAP basis of $1,666 million, or $0.84 per share, compared to $421 million, or $0.21 per share, for the first quarter of 2020. On an adjusted basis, NextEra Energy's 2021 first-quarter earnings were $1,330 million, or $0.67 per share, compared to $1,170 million, or $0.59 per share, in the first quarter of 2020. All share-based data has been adjusted to reflect NextEra Energy's Oct. 26, 2020, four-for-one stock split.

Adjusted earnings for these periods exclude the effects of non-qualifying hedges; NextEra Energy Partners, LP net investment gains; gain on disposal of a business; differential membership interests-related; and change in unrealized gains and losses on equity securities held in NextEra Energy Resources' nuclear decommissioning funds and other than temporary impairments (OTTI).

NextEra Energy's management uses adjusted earnings, which is a non-GAAP financial measure, internally for financial planning, analysis of performance, reporting of results to the board of directors and as an input in determining performance-based compensation under the company's employee incentive compensation plans. NextEra Energy also uses earnings expressed in this fashion when communicating its financial results and earnings outlook to analysts and investors. NextEra Energy's management believes that adjusted earnings provide a more meaningful representation of NextEra Energy's fundamental earnings power. A reconciliation of historical adjusted earnings to net income attributable to NextEra Energy, which is the most directly comparable GAAP measure, is included in the attachments to this news release.

Effective Jan. 1, 2021, Gulf Power legally merged into Florida Power & Light Company. Gulf Power will continue as a separate reporting segment of Florida Power & Light and NextEra Energy through 2021, serving its existing customers under separate retail rates. "FPL" refers to Florida Power & Light, excluding Gulf Power, unless otherwise noted or when using the term "combined."

"NextEra Energy delivered strong first-quarter results and remains well-positioned to meet our 2021 and longer-term growth prospects," said Jim Robo, chairman and chief executive officer of NextEra Energy. "We grew adjusted earnings per share by nearly 14% year-over-year, reflecting successful performance across all of the businesses. FPL continues to focus on delivering an outstanding value proposition of low
1


bills, high reliability, outstanding customer service and clean energy solutions for our customers. With the addition of 300 megawatts of cost-effective solar projects built under the SolarTogether program, FPL now owns and operates approximately 2,640 megawatts of solar on its combined system, which is more than any other utility in the country. NextEra Energy Resources' adjusted earnings grew 13% year-over-year, and it had another strong quarter of renewables origination, with its backlog increasing by approximately 1,750 megawatts since the release of fourth-quarter and full-year 2020 financial results in January. After a strong start to the year, we remain as enthusiastic as ever about our long-term growth prospects, and we will be disappointed if we are not able to deliver financial results at or near the top end of our adjusted earnings per share expectations ranges in 2021, 2022 and 2023, while at the same time maintaining our strong credit ratings and, most importantly, continuing to reliably deliver for our customers. We remain intensely focused on execution and believe NextEra Energy remains uniquely positioned to drive long-term shareholder value."

FPL
FPL reported first-quarter 2021 net income of $720 million, or $0.37 per share, compared to $642 million, or $0.33 per share, for the prior-year quarter. FPL, including Gulf Power, now serves more than 5.6 million customer accounts supporting more than 11 million residents across Florida and is the largest rate-regulated electric utility in the U.S. as measured by retail electricity produced and sold.

FPL's growth over the prior-year comparable quarter was primarily driven by continued investment in the business. FPL's capital expenditures were approximately $1.4 billion for the first quarter of 2021 and full year capital investments are expected to be between $6.6 billion and $6.8 billion. Regulatory capital employed increased by approximately 10.8% over the same quarter last year. During the first quarter of 2021, FPL's average number of customers increased by approximately 71,400 from the prior-year comparable quarter.

FPL's smart capital investments, including the 409-megawatt (MW) Manatee Energy Storage Center, which will be the world's largest integrated solar-powered battery system, and highly efficient 1,200-MW Dania Beach Clean Energy Center, are on schedule and on budget. During the first quarter, FPL also successfully placed in service approximately 300 MW of additional cost-effective solar projects built under its SolarTogether program, which remains the largest community solar program in the nation. FPL's advanced development initiatives continue to progress well, with nearly 70 new installations of electric vehicle (EV) charging ports as part of its goal to deploy more than 1,000 charging ports in more than 100 locations across the combined FPL service area from 2019-2022.

Earlier this month, an updated Ten Year Site Plan was filed with the Florida Public Service Commission (PSC), reflecting the expectation that FPL and Gulf Power will begin to operate as an integrated electric system in 2022. The Ten Year Site Plan projects that zero-emission sources will provide nearly 40% of all energy produced across the combined FPL system in 2030, largely as a result of FPL's continued rapid expansion of solar energy through the execution of its "30-by-30" plan and success in its coal phase-out strategy.

In March, Florida Power & Light filed a comprehensive four-year request with the Florida PSC for new base rates that would be phased in, beginning in 2022. The proposal includes four adjustments to base revenue requirements that would be phased in during the four-year period, 2022-2025, providing customers continued, longer-term cost certainty. Consistent with the initial estimate in January, the plan includes an adjustment to base annual revenue requirements of approximately $1.1 billion, starting in January 2022; a subsequent year adjustment to base annual revenue requirements of approximately $607 million, starting in 2023; and a request for a Solar Base Rate Adjustment (SoBRA) mechanism to recover up to a total of 1,788 MW of cost-effective solar projects in 2024 and 2025. With the proposed base rate adjustments and current projections for fuel and other costs, FPL's typical residential bill is expected to grow at an average annual rate of about 3.4% from January 2021 through the end of 2025, which is expected to result in its typical residential bill being approximately 20% below the projected national average and more than 20% lower than its typical bills 15 years ago when adjusted for inflation.

Gulf Power
Gulf Power reported first-quarter 2021 net income of $57 million, or $0.03 per share, compared to $40 million, or $0.02 per share, for the prior-year quarter.

During the first quarter, Gulf Power continued to execute on smart capital investments for the benefit of customers. Gulf Power's capital expenditures were approximately $170 million for the first quarter of 2021 and full-year capital investments are expected to be between $800 million and $900 million. All of Gulf Power's major capital investments, including the North Florida Resiliency Connection that is expected to be in-service in mid-2022, continue to progress well. As a result of these ongoing investments, regulatory capital employed increased by approximately 16% year-over-year.

NextEra Energy Resources
NextEra Energy Resources, the competitive clean energy business of NextEra Energy, reported a first-quarter 2021 contribution to net income attributable to NextEra Energy on a GAAP basis of $491 million, or $0.25 per share, compared to $318 million, or $0.16 per share, in the prior-year quarter. On an adjusted basis, NextEra Energy Resources' earnings for the first quarter of 2021 were $598 million, or $0.30 per share, compared to $529 million, or $0.27 per share, for the first quarter of 2020.

NextEra Energy Resources had another strong period of origination during the first quarter, adding approximately 1,750 MW to its renewables backlog. Since the fourth-quarter and full-year 2020 financial results call in January, NextEra Energy Resources added roughly 503 MW of new solar projects, including 190 MW of solar that will be paired with approximately 100 MW of four-hour battery storage capacity, and 916 MW of new wind projects to its backlog. In addition, NextEra Energy Resources' backlog increased by its share of NextEra Energy Partners' planned acquisition of 391 MW of operating wind projects announced previously. NextEra Energy Resources' backlog of signed contracts now totals approximately 15,250 MW.

During the first quarter, NextEra Energy Transmission furthered its efforts to build America's leading competitive transmission company with the closing of its previously announced acquisition of GridLiance. GridLiance owns approximately 700 miles of high-voltage transmission lines and related equipment with utility rates set by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission. NextEra Energy Transmission now operates in 10 states and six regional transmission organizations.

Corporate and Other
In the first quarter of 2021 on a GAAP basis, Corporate and Other earnings increased $0.49 per share, compared to the prior-year quarter. On an adjusted basis, Corporate and Other earnings per share for the first quarter of 2021 were flat compared to the prior-year quarter.

Outlook
NextEra Energy's long-term financial expectations remain unchanged. For 2021, NextEra Energy expects adjusted earnings per share to be in the range of $2.40 to $2.54. For 2022 and 2023, NextEra Energy expects to grow 6% to 8% off the expected 2021 adjusted earnings per share. For 2022 and 2023, this translates to an adjusted earnings per share range of $2.55 to $2.75 and $2.77 to $2.97, respectively.

NextEra Energy's adjusted earnings expectations exclude the cumulative effect of adopting new accounting standards; the effects of non-qualifying hedges and unrealized gains and losses on equity securities held in NextEra Energy Resources' nuclear decommissioning funds and OTTI, none of which can be determined at this time. Adjusted earnings expectations also exclude the effects of NextEra Energy Partners, LP net investment gains and differential membership interests-related. In addition, adjusted earnings expectations assume, among other things, normal weather and operating conditions; supportive commodity markets; current forward curves; public policy support for wind and solar development and construction; market demand and transmission expansion to support wind and solar development; market demand for pipeline capacity; access to capital at reasonable cost and terms; no divestitures other than to NextEra Energy Partners, LP or acquisitions; no adverse litigation decisions;
