- Robust capital plan enables new 7-9% long-term operating earnings growth rate through 2030
- Rate base expected to increase at a 10% compounded annual growth rate to $128 billion by 2030
- Third-quarter 2025 GAAP earnings of $1.82 per share; operating earnings of $1.80 per share
- AEP expects full-year 2025 operating earnings in the upper half of its guidance range: $5.75 to $5.95 per share
COLUMBUS, Ohio, Oct. 29, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- American Electric Power (Nasdaq: AEP) today reported third-quarter 2025 GAAP earnings of $972 million or $1.82 per share, compared with GAAP earnings of $960 million or $1.80 per share in third-quarter 2024. Operating earnings for third-quarter 2025 were $963 million or $1.80 per share, compared with operating earnings of $985 million or $1.85 per share in third-quarter 2024. See the detailed GAAP to operating earnings reconciliation at the end of this press release. AEP reaffirms its 2025 operating earnings guidance range of $5.75 to $5.95 per share and expects results to be in the upper half of the range.
AEP today announced a new, increased long-term operating earnings growth rate of 7-9% over the next five years, bolstered by a $72 billion capital plan and supported by an expected 10% annual growth in rate base. During the first two years of the company's plan, annual operating earnings growth is anticipated to be in the lower half of the range and at or above the high end of the range in 2028-2030. As infrastructure projects are put into service to meet customer demand, AEP expects operating earnings per share to increase at a 9% compounded annual growth rate over the five-year period. The rapidly accelerating load growth also supports AEP's 2026 operating earnings guidance of $6.15 to $6.45 per share.
Infrastructure for the Future
AEP's revised capital plan is based on customer commitments and the infrastructure needed to meet unprecedented power requirements, driven by large load customers including data centers and industrials. The confidence in the 28 gigawatts (GW) of load additions by 2030, up 4 GW since July 2025, is backed by Electric Service Agreements or Letters of Agreement and is supported by an additional 190 GW of load requests at various stages of development. The capital plan is one of the largest in the industry and is enabled by the company's attractive service territory and the nation's largest transmission system.
AEP's peak system demand is expected to surge to 65 GW by 2030, up from a current peak of 37 GW, highlighting the robust long-term growth that the company is experiencing across its service territory. To meet this opportunity, the company is investing $30 billion in transmission assets in the new capital plan. AEP's pioneering transmission work, including developing the nation's largest 765-kilovolt transmission network, has played a significant role in securing customers who need reliable delivery of large load power.
AEP also plans to invest more than $20 billion in generation resources across the service territory in the next five years to meet the demands of customers in fast-growing regions. Nearly a quarter of the capital plan – $17 billion – is dedicated to AEP's distribution network as the company builds on system enhancement programs.
"As one of the largest utilities in the nation, we are using our scale to ensure we can deliver the power our customers need. We are utilizing our position as a leading transmission owner, our experience building distribution and our success in securing critical infrastructure for generation and additional high voltage equipment to meet the needs of our customers over the next five years," said Bill Fehrman, AEP chairman, president and chief executive officer.
Effectively Managing Growth
Maintaining affordability has been a key priority. AEP is leading the way to implement new tariff structures across the states it serves that require customers with large power demands to make financial commitments based on their load forecasts. Operating companies have taken significant steps to ensure that costs of serving large load customers are allocated fairly and the right investments are made to support the long-term interests of all customers. Additionally, AEP is utilizing mechanisms like securitization, focusing on cost management, and allocating capital efficiently in support of continued growth.
"Listening to our regulators, policymakers and customers has been critical to improving regulatory and legislative outcomes. I am encouraged by the progress we have made this year and look forward to working together as we develop solutions to meet the needs of our customers and the generational opportunities ahead of us," Fehrman concluded.

EARNINGS GUIDANCE
AEP confirmed its 2025 operating earnings guidance range of $5.75 to $5.95 per share, guiding to the upper half of the range. Operating earnings could differ from GAAP earnings for matters such as impairments, divestitures, mark-to-market impacts or changes in accounting principles. AEP management is not able to forecast if any of these items will occur or any amounts that may be reported for future periods. Therefore, AEP is not able to provide a corresponding GAAP equivalent for 2025 earnings guidance.
Reflecting certain items recorded through the third quarter, the estimated earnings per share on a GAAP basis would be $6.58 to $6.78 per share. See the table below for a full reconciliation of 2025 earnings guidance.

AEP's earnings are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States and represent the company's earnings as reported to the Securities and Exchange Commission. The company's operating earnings, a non-GAAP measure representing GAAP earnings excluding certain items as described in the news release and charts, provide another representation for investors to evaluate the performance of the company's ongoing business activities. AEP uses operating earnings as the primary performance measurement when communicating with analysts and investors regarding its earnings outlook and results. The company uses operating earnings data internally to measure performance against budget, to report to AEP's Board of Directors and also as an input in determining performance-based compensation under the company's employee incentive compensation plans. A full reconciliation of GAAP earnings to operating earnings for the quarter and year to date is included in the tables at the end of this news release.

limitations or restrictions on the amounts and types of insurance available to cover losses that might arise in connection with natural disasters, wildfires or operations; the cost of fuel and its transportation, the creditworthiness and performance of parties who supply and transport fuel and the cost of storing and disposing of used fuel, including coal ash and spent nuclear fuel; the availability of fuel and necessary generation capacity and the performance of generation plants; the ability to recover fuel and other energy costs through regulated or competitive electric rates; the ability to build or acquire generation (including from renewable sources), transmission lines and facilities (including the ability to obtain any necessary regulatory approvals and permits) to meet the demand for electricity at acceptable prices and terms, including favorable tax treatment, cost caps imposed by regulators and other operational commitments to regulatory commissions and customers for generation projects, to recover all related costs and to earn a reasonable rate of return;

construction and development risks associated with the completion of the 2026-2030 capital investment plan, including shortages or delays in labor, materials, equipment or parts; prolonged or recurring U.S. federal government shutdowns could adversely affect our operations, regulatory approvals, and financial performance and could cause volatility in the capital markets which may interrupt our access to capital; new legislation, litigation or government regulation, including changes to tax laws and regulations, oversight of nuclear generation, energy commodity trading and new or modified requirements related to emissions of sulfur, nitrogen, mercury, carbon, soot or PM and other substances that could impact the continued operation, cost recovery and/or profitability of generation plants and related assets;
