Portland General Electric Announces Second Quarter 2025 Results
Second quarter financial results reflect significant demand growth from data center customers, driving 16.5% industrial load growth quarter-over-quarter Advancing recovery of the Seaside battery, distribution system investments and holding company structure Reaffirming 2025 adjusted earnings guidance of $3.13 to $3.33 per diluted share PORTLAND, Ore., July 25, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Portland General Electric Company (NYSE: POR) today reported net income based on generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) of $62 million, or $0.56 per diluted share, for the second quarter of 2025. After adjusting for the impact of business transformation and optimization expenses, second quarter 2025 non-GAAP net income was $73 million, or $0.66 per diluted share. This compares with GAAP net income of $72 million, or $0.69 per diluted share, for the second quarter of 2024. "The second quarter was a period of execution and solid progress at Portland General Electric," said Maria Pope, President and CEO. "We are focused on safely and reliably serving customers, engaging with stakeholders, driving efficiencies and updating our corporate structure to lower costs and deliver results." Second Quarter 2025 Compared to Second Quarter 2024 On a GAAP basis, total revenues increased due to continued demand growth from semiconductor manufacturing and technology infrastructure customers, partially offset by lower average price of deliveries from changing customer mix. Purchased power and fuel expense increased given rising prices for purchased power and fuel. Operating and maintenance expenses increased due to wildfire mitigation, vegetation management, and business transformation expenses. Depreciation and amortization expense and interest expense increased due to ongoing capital investment. Income tax expense increased as a result of lower production tax credit generation. Company Updates Corporate Structure Today, PGE is submitting a formal application to the Oregon Public Utilities Commission (OPUC) for approval of a holding company reorganization. The structure contemplated involves placing a non-operating corporate entity over the Company's existing structure. It would also allow for the formation of a subsidiary to hold existing and future transmission assets. The intent of the reorganization is to provide benefits to customers and shareholders by taking advantage of the financial flexibility provided by a holding company structure, and to support construction of new transmission assets, reliability planning, and economic development. Regulatory Updates Also today, PGE is submitting a request to the OPUC for recovery of costs associated with PGE's Distribution System Plan (DSP). PGE's request includes an annualized revenue requirement increase of $72 million, with a proposed rate effective date of April 1, 2026. On May 30, 2025, PGE submitted a request for recovery of the revenue requirement associated with the Seaside Battery Energy Storage System (Seaside), consistent with the option presented by the OPUC in the 2025 GRC order. PGE's request includes an annualized revenue requirement increase of $46 million, with a proposed rate effective date of October 31, 2025. PGE entered into a memorandum of understanding with intervenors, which establishes the scope of recovery mechanisms for both Seaside and costs associated with PGE's DSP. PGE is committed to continuing to collaborate with key stakeholders and providing safe, reliable service at the lowest possible cost for customers. 2023 Request for Proposals Following the passage of the One Big Beautiful Bill (OBBB), PGE plans to provide an opportunity for all conforming 2023 RFP bidders to refresh their pricing. PGE, in collaboration with an independent evaluator, will work to update scoring and ranking to reflect pricing changes from bidders in the coming months. PGE continues to expect finalization of contracts in the second half of 2025, with projects in service by the end of 2027. This timing will allow PGE to maximize the impact of important federal tax credits received for each project, as allowed by the OBBB, keeping customer prices as low as possible. Quarterly Dividend As previously announced, on July 18, 2025, 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 October 15, 2025 to shareholders of record at the close of business on September 25, 2025. 2025 Earnings Guidance PGE is reaffirming its estimate for full-year 2025 adjusted earnings guidance of $3.13 to $3.33 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 territory; Hydro conditions for the year that reflect current estimates; Wind generation based on five years of historical levels or forecast studies when historical data is not available; Normal thermal plant operations; Operating and maintenance expense between $795 million and $815 million which includes approximately $135 million of wildfire, vegetation management, deferral amortization and other expenses that are offset in other income statement lines; Depreciation and amortization expense between $550 million and $575 million; Effective tax rate of 15% to 20%; Cash from operations of $900 to $1,000 million; Capital expenditures of $1,215 million; and Average construction work in progress balance of $595 million. Second Quarter 2025 Earnings Call and Webcast — July 25, 2025 PGE will host a conference call with financial analysts and investors on Friday, July 25, 2025, at 11 a.m. ET. The conference call will be webcast live on the PGE website at A webcast replay will also be available on PGE's investor website "Events & Presentations" page beginning at 2 p.m. ET on July 25, 2025. 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. The attached unaudited condensed consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income, balance sheets and statements of cash flows, as well as the supplemental operating statistics, are an integral part of this earnings release. 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 a meaningful representation of the Company's comparative earnings per share and enables investors to evaluate the Company's ongoing operating financial performance. 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 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 quarter ended June 30, 2025 is below. Non-GAAP Earnings Reconciliation for the quarter ended June 30, 2025 (Dollars in millions, except EPS) Net Income Diluted EPS GAAP as reported for the quarter ended June 30, 2025 $ 62 $ 0.56 Exclusion of business transformation and optimization expenses 15 0.14 Tax effect (1) (4) (0.04) Non-GAAP as reported for the quarter ended June 30, 2025 $ 73 $ 0.66 (1) Tax effects were determined based on the Company's full-year blended federal and state statutory rate.

North America Leads in MRD Testing Market with Advanced Reimbursement Ecosystem
The Minimal Residue Disease (MRD) Testing Market is projected to reach USD 4.50 billion by 2030, with a CAGR of 10.1% from 2025. Key drivers include the rising use of MRD tests in cancer prognosis and personalized medicine. In 2024, flow cytometry and hematological malignancies held major market shares. North America leads due to advanced diagnostics and healthcare infrastructure. This report offers comprehensive insights and strategic recommendations. Minimal Residual Disease Testing Market Dublin, July 25, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The "Minimal Residual Disease Testing Market Size, Share & Trends Analysis Report By Technology (NGS, PCR), By Cancer Type (Hematological Malignancy, Solid Tumors), By End-use (Hospitals, Diagnostic Laboratories), By Region, And Segment Forecasts, 2025 - 2030" report has been added to global minimal residual disease testing market size is estimated to reach USD 4.50 billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of 10.1% from 2025 to 2030. The adoption of MRD testing as a novel diagnostic and prognostic assay facilitates robust moderation of treatment regimes to treat all kinds of hematological malignancies. Measurement of therapeutic outcomes is critical for the successful adoption of a given cancer therapeutic regime. MRD generates important molecular information to better understand the cancer conditions and ultimately work towards leveraging treatment outcomes. Therefore, MRD testing is increasingly used as an end-point analysis step in numerous clinical trial studies for oncology-based research and also effectively records the variations in outcomes due to individual genetic characteristics. For instance, in November 2020, Adaptive Biotechnologies Corporation, entered into a collaboration with GlaxoSmithKline plc., to use its clonoSEQ assay for the assessment of residual cancer cells after treatment with GSK's hematology removal of tumors with other associative therapies does not essentially mean, that the cancerous cells are removed completely. Traces of cancer can remain in the body parts and bloodstream. The diagnosis of such residual cells is crucial for deciding upon the need for further rounds of chemotherapy and radiation. Researchers are devising non-invasive tests to effectively detect MRD. For instance, in February 2022, a blood test from C2i Genomics quantified the residual cancer cells after surgical oncology procedures. The C2inform test also achieved the CE mark clearance and is offered as a 'software-as-a-medical-device' MRD test in therapeutics are effectively moderated to avoid a residue of tumorous cells using the relevant clinical evidence and are also personalized based on specific progression profiles in an individual. Numerous research studies are driving the need for consideration of individual genetic characteristics for effective Residue Disease Testing Market Report Highlights By technology, the flow cytometry segment held a dominant share in the minimal residual disease testing market in 2024, owing to the high sensitivity and wide applicability of MRD testing. By cancer type, the hematological malignancy cancer dominated the market with a revenue share of 68.58% in 2024, owing to the increasing prevalence of hematological malignancy. By end-use, the hospitals and specialty clinics segment is the highest revenue-generating segment in 2024, owing to the availability of advanced diagnostic devices and skilled professionals in hospitals and specialty clinics. North America dominated the minimal residual disease testing market in 2024, which is attributed to the growing prevalence of hematological malignancies in the region aided by a well-developed reimbursement landscape.

US Trade Talk Delays Jolt South Korean Leader's Honeymoon Phase
(Bloomberg) -- Less than two months into his presidency, South Korean leader Lee Jae Myung is facing an early diplomatic and economic test, as his top negotiators struggle to make headway in trade talks with the US before higher levies kick in next week.

Salt Lake City Turns Winter Olympic Bid Into Statewide Bond Boom South Korean negotiators faced a series of canceled meetings this week, a setback in their push to finalize a trade deal ahead of the looming Aug. 1 deadline, when across-the-board tariffs on US imports of Korean goods are set to rise to 25% from 10%. While some meetings may be rescheduled in the coming days, the delays stand in stark contrast to the progress made by countries like Japan, the Philippines, Indonesia, and Vietnam, all of which have secured agreements that helped them avoid the worst-case tariff scenarios. Lee is enjoying strong support on hopes for an economic recovery after months of political turmoil sparked by the impeachment of former President Yoon Suk Yeol. But he needs a breakthrough in trade negotiations to shield Korea's export-reliant economy. In 2024, overseas shipments were equivalent to more than 40% of South Korea's GDP, making the stakes especially high. The back-to-back, last-minute cancellations come at a precarious moment. South Korea's National Security Adviser Wi Sung-lac said the talks are at their 'final stages' and a 'critical juncture,' but he was unable to meet with his US counterpart, Secretary of State Marco Rubio, during a four-day visit to Washington that concluded Thursday. Wi said he made a planned visit to the White House, but Rubio was called away at the last minute after receiving an 'urgent call' from Trump. The two officials spoke by phone instead. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent canceled a scheduled meeting with South Korean Finance Minister Koo Yun-cheol, just hours before Koo was due to board a plane to the US. Bessent cited a scheduling conflict. Adding urgency is the freshly signed US–Japan trade agreement this week, which Trump has hailed as a 'great deal for everybody.' Under the agreement, the US will impose 15% tariffs on most imports of goods from Japan, including automobiles, in exchange for Tokyo creating a $550 billion fund to make investments in the US. 'You know the Koreans also like the Europeans, they very very much want to make a deal,' Trump's Commerce Secretary, Howard Lutnick, said on CNBC on Thursday. 'I mean you could hear the expletives out of Korea when they read the Japanese deal because the Koreans and the Japanese they stare at each other.' What Bloomberg Economics Says... 'With US President Donald Trump striking a 'massive Deal with Japan,' the task for South Korea now is to ensure its automakers don't get a raw deal that puts them at a competitive disadvantage to Japanese rivals.' — Hyosung Kwon, economist Click here to see full report Despite the setback, South Korean officials are working to keep the momentum alive, focusing on meetings with Lutnick and US Trade Representative Jamieson Greer. After a meeting on Thursday, Lutnick and South Korean Industry Minister Kim Jung-kwan reaffirmed their commitment to pursue a mutually beneficial agreement ahead of the Aug. 1 deadline, Kim's office said. The more talks drag on, the more people question the capability of the negotiators. But Rintaro Nishimura, a Tokyo-based associate with strategic advisory firm the Asia Group, said the US trading partners are dealing with a 'very challenging negotiation with three different people who have three different kinds of interests at play.' 'I don't think the US side had one singular idea in terms of what they wanted,' he said, referring to the Japan deal. 'And then Trump would just come in at some point and then say something else.'
