Adjusted earnings drivers for the second quarter 2025, as compared with the same period in 2024, were higher non-fuel operations and maintenance expenses, prior year gains on transmission asset sales, milder weather, and higher income taxes, depreciation and amortization, and interest expense, partially offset by higher utility revenues.
Second-quarter 2025 operating revenues were $7.0 billion, compared with $6.5 billion for the second quarter of 2024, an increase of 7.9%. For the six months ended June 30, 2025, operating revenues were $14.7 billion, compared with $13.1 billion for the corresponding period in 2024, an increase of 12.5%.

We performed well both financially and operationally through the first half of the year and remain well positioned to deliver on our 2025 goals," said Chris Womack, chairman, president and CEO.

(1) | Dilution is not material in any period presented. Diluted earnings per share was $0.79 and $2.00 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, respectively, and $1.09 and $2.12 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, respectively. | |
(2) | Earnings include income tax charges of $4 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 and $14 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 related to the remeasuring of deferred tax assets associated with the previously recognized estimated probable loss on Plant Vogtle Units 3 and 4 due to changes in the State of Georgia corporate tax rate. Additionally, earnings for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 include a pre-tax credit to income of $21 million ($16 million after tax) related to the estimated probable loss on Plant Vogtle Units 3 and 4 reflecting a revision to Georgia Power Company's total project capital cost forecast resulting from a reduction in remaining expected site demobilization costs and other contractor obligations. Further charges and/or credits may occur; however, the amount and timing are uncertain. Earnings for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 also include charges (net of salvage proceeds), associated legal expenses (net of insurance recoveries), and tax impacts related to Mississippi Power Company's integrated coal gasification combined cycle facility project in Kemper County, Mississippi. Mississippi Power Company expects to incur additional pre-tax period costs through the end of 2025 related to dismantlement of the abandoned gasifier-related assets and site restoration activities, including related costs for compliance and safety, asset retirement obligation accretion, and property taxes, net of salvage. | |
(3) | Earnings for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 include pre-tax charges, net of noncontrolling interests impacts, of $40 million ($31 million after tax) and $65 million ($51 million after tax), respectively, associated with accelerated depreciation related to the repowering of certain wind facilities at Southern Power. Accelerated depreciation related to the equipment being replaced will continue until the commercial operation dates of the repowering projects, which are projected to occur between the third quarter 2026 and the second quarter 2027. At June 30, 2025, the remaining pre-tax accelerated depreciation, net of noncontrolling interest impacts, is projected to total approximately $215 million in 2025, $320 million in 2026, and $25 million in 2027. | |
(4) | Earnings for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 include costs associated with the extinguishment of debt at Southern Company as a result of Southern Company's repurchase of certain convertible senior notes. Similar transaction costs may occur in the future at Southern Company or one of its unregulated subsidiaries; however, the amount and timing of any such costs are uncertain. | |
