  1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING MATTERS

General

The unaudited condensed financial statements and footnotes were prepared in accordance with GAAP for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X of the SEC. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete annual financial statements.

In the opinion of management, the unaudited condensed interim financial statements reflect all normal and recurring accruals and adjustments necessary for a fair statement of the net income, financial position and cash flows for the interim periods for each Registrant. Net income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026 is not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2026. The condensed financial statements are unaudited and should be read in conjunction with the audited 2025 financial statements and notes thereto, which are included in the 2025 Annual Reports.

Change in Presentation

In 2025, the Company changed its rounding presentation in the Registrant’s financial statements and accompanying tabular footnote disclosures to the nearest whole number in millions, except per share data. The change had no material impact on previously reported financial information, however, certain amounts reported for prior periods may differ by insignificant amounts due to the rounding presentation. In addition, historical percentages and per share amounts presented may not recalculate due to rounding. This change does not impact the comparability of the Registrant’s financial statements and related disclosures.

Earnings Per Share (EPS) (Applies to AEP)

Basic EPS is calculated by dividing net earnings available to common shareholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted EPS is calculated by adjusting the weighted-average outstanding common shares, assuming conversion of all potentially dilutive securities. Dilutive securities are primarily related to forward sale of equity agreements and restricted stock units. See Note 12 - Financing Activities for more information regarding the forward sale of equity agreements.

The following table presents AEP’s basic and diluted EPS calculations included on the statements of income:

Weighted-Average Dilutive Effect5.7(0.05)2.2(0.02)
Weighted-Average Number of Diluted AEP Common Shares Outstanding549.3$5.05536.4$5.59

Upon settlement of the ATM Forward maturing December 2026, the Company will issue three million shares of common stock. However, as the forward price was greater than the average market price of the common shares as of September 30, 2026, the shares were not included in the computation of diluted EPS because to do so would be antidilutive. There wereno antidilutive shares outstanding as of September 30, 2025.

Restricted Cash (Applies to AEP, AEP Texas, APCo and SWEPCo)

Restricted Cash primarily includes funds held by trustees for the payment of securitization bonds.

Reconciliation of Cash, Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash

The following tables provide a reconciliation of Cash, Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash reported within the balance sheets that sum to the total of the same amounts shown on the statements of cash flows:

  1. NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

Management reviews the FASB’s standard-setting process and the SEC’s rulemaking activity to determine the relevance, if any, to the Registrants’ business. The following standards/rules will impact the Registrants’ financial statements.

SEC Climate Disclosure Rule

In March 2024, the SEC adopted final rules that would require registrants to disclose certain climate-related information in registration statements and annual reports. Litigation challenging the new rules was filed by multiple parties in multiple jurisdictions, which have been consolidated and assigned to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit. In March 2025, the SEC announced that it voted to end its defense of the final climate disclosure rules. In April 2025, 18 states filed a motion to intervene in the case and to hold the case in abeyance until the SEC takes action to amend or rescind the rules. In July 2025, the SEC filed a status report stating that it does not intend to review or reconsider the rules and asked the Court of Appeals to make a ruling on the case. In September 2025, the Court of Appeals issued an order holding the case in abeyance until the SEC either formally defends the rules or initiates a new rulemaking process for reconsideration. In May 2026, the SEC formally proposed to rescind its climate-related disclosure rules. The proposal is subject to notice-and-comment rulemaking before a final rule can be approved.

ASU 2024-03 “Income Statement-Reporting Comprehensive Income-Expense Disaggregation Disclosures” (ASU 2024-03)

In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, the intent of which is to improve financial reporting and respond to investor input by requiring public business entities to disclose additional information about certain expenses in the notes to financial statements in interim and annual reporting periods. Among other provisions, the new standard requires disclosure of disaggregated amounts for expenses such as employee compensation, depreciation and intangible asset amortization included in each expense caption presented on the face of the income statement. Public business entities are required to include certain amounts that are already required to be disclosed under GAAP in the same disclosure as the other disaggregation requirements as well as a qualitative description of any amounts remaining in relevant expense captions that are not separately disaggregated quantitatively. The new standard also requires disclosure of the total amount of selling expenses and, in annual reporting periods, an entity’s definition of selling expenses. An entity is not precluded from providing additional voluntary disclosures that may provide investors with additional decision-useful information.

The amendments in the new standard are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted. The amendments in the new standard should be applied either prospectively to financial statements issued for reporting periods after the effective date or retrospectively to any or all prior periods presented in the financial statements. Management is evaluating the new standard and has not yet determined when, or the method by which, the Registrants will adopt its amendments.

ASU 2025-06 “Intangibles—Goodwill and Other—Internal-Use Software” (ASU 2025-06)

In September 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-06, the intent of which is to modernize the cost capitalization threshold for internal-use software development costs by removing all references to software project development stages and providing new guidance on how to evaluate whether the probable-to-complete recognition threshold has been met for the commencement of capitalization of eligible costs.

The amendments in the new standard may be applied on either a retrospective, prospective or modified prospective basis for public business entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027 with early adoption permitted. Management elected to early adopt this standard prospectively beginning on January 1, 2026. The adoption of the new standard did not have a material impact on the results of operations, statements of financial position or cash flows.

ASU 2026-02 “Environmental Credits and Environmental Credit Obligations” (ASU 2026-02)

In May 2026, the FASB issued ASU 2026-02, the intent of which is to improve the financial accounting for and disclosure of environmental credits and environmental credit obligations. The new standard establishes guidance on the recognition, measurement, presentation, and disclosure requirements for all public business entities that generate, purchase, or receive environmental credits or have a regulatory compliance obligation that may be settled with environmental credits.

The amendments in the new standard are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027, and interim reporting periods within those annual reporting periods. Early adoption is permitted as of the beginning of an annual reporting period and should be applied on a retrospective basis. Management is currently evaluating the impact of this ASU on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

  1. RATE MATTERS

As discussed in the 2025 Annual Report, the Registrants are involved in rate and regulatory proceedings at the FERC and their state commissions. The Rate Matters note within the 2025 Annual Report should be read in conjunction with this report to gain a complete understanding of material rate matters still pending that could impact net income, cash flows and possibly financial condition. The following discusses ratemaking developments in 2026 and updates the 2025 Annual Report.

Regulated Generating Units (Applies to AEP, PSO and SWEPCo)

Compliance with extensive environmental regulations requires significant capital investment in environmental monitoring, installation of pollution control equipment, emission fees, disposal costs and permits. Management regularly evaluates cost estimates of complying with these regulations in balance with reliability and other factors, which has resulted in, and in the future may result in, a proposal to retire generating facilities earlier than their currently estimated useful lives.

Management is seeking or will seek regulatory recovery, as necessary, for any net book value remaining when the plants are retired. To the extent the net book value of these generation assets is not deemed recoverable, it could reduce future net income and cash flows and impact financial condition.

Regulated Generating Unit that has been Retired and Related Fuel Operations

SWEPCo

In March 2023, the Pirkey Plant was retired. SWEPCo is recovering, or is seeking recovery of, the remaining net book value of Pirkey Plant non-fuel costs. As of September 30, 2026, SWEPCo’s share of the net investment in the Pirkey Plant was $167 million, including materials and supplies, net of cost of removal. Fuel costs are recovered through active fuel clauses and are subject to prudency determinations by the various commissions.

As part of the 2021 Arkansas Base Rate Case, the APSC granted SWEPCo regulatory asset treatment of the Pirkey Plant net investment. SWEPCo requested recovery including a weighted average cost of capital carrying charge in its 2025 Arkansas Base Rate Case. In January 2026, the APSC approved a settlement agreement providing for the recovery of the Pirkey Plant net investment over 10 years with a 3% return, and the agreement also included a provision that the retirement of the Pirkey Plant was prudent.

As part of the 2020 Louisiana Base Rate Case, the LPSC authorized the recovery of SWEPCo’s Louisiana jurisdictional share of the Pirkey Plant, through a separate rider, through 2032.

In July 2023, the LPSC ordered that a separate proceeding be established to review the prudence of the decision to retire the Pirkey Plant, including the costs included in fuel for years starting in 2019 and after. In April 2025, the LPSC determined the retirement of the Pirkey Plant was reasonable and prudent and authorized continued recovery of and on the remaining balance of the Pirkey Plant at SWEPCo’s weighted average cost of capital through 2032.

In July 2023, Texas ALJs issued a PFD that concluded the decision to retire the Pirkey Plant was prudent. In September 2023, the PUCT rejected the July 2023 PFD conclusion. SWEPCo requested recovery of the Texas jurisdictional share of the remaining net book value of the Pirkey Plant in its 2025 Texas Base Rate Case. In April 2026, a unanimous settlement in principle was reached related to the 2025 Texas Base Rate Case. In September 2026, a unanimous stipulation and settlement agreement was filed with the PUCT. The agreement provides for partial recovery of the remaining net book value of the Pirkey Plant over 19 years with no return on the unamortized balance. Due to the settlement in principle reached in April, in the first quarter of 2026, SWEPCo recorded approximately $31 million for a probable, partial regulatory disallowance of the Pirkey Plant. See the “2025 Texas Base Rate Case” section below for additional information. As of September 30, 2026, the Texas jurisdictional share of the net book value of the Pirkey Plant was $47 million. To the extent the PUCT does not accept the settlement and any costs included in this filing are not approved for recovery as a result of the final PUCT order, it could reduce future net income and cash flows and impact financial condition.

Regulated Generating Units to be Retired

PSO

In 2014, PSO received final approval from the Federal EPA to close Northeastern Plant, Unit 3, in 2026. The plant was originally scheduled to close in 2040. As a result of the early retirement date, PSO revised the useful life of Northeastern Plant, Unit 3, to the projected retirement date of 2026 and the incremental depreciation is being deferred as a regulatory asset. Following the 2024 Oklahoma Base Rate Case, PSO continues to recover Northeastern Plant, Unit 3 through 2040. In April 2025, PSO and the ODEQ finalized a second amended regional haze agreement that would allow continued operation of the Northeastern Plant, Unit 3, on natural gas, through May 31, 2041. This agreement is contingent upon approval by the Federal EPA in the form of a revised SIP, which the Federal EPA has proposed to approve. In anticipation of approval from the Federal EPA, PSO began operating Northeastern Plant, Unit 3 on natural gas in January 2026. In the first quarter of 2026, PSO retired $325 million of coal-related assets at Northeastern Plant, Unit 3, resulting in a decrease to both Total Property, Plant and Equipment and Accumulated Depreciation and Amortization. As of September 30, 2026, the unrecovered value of these assets was $152 million, inclusive of ARO costs, which PSO is currently collecting in rates.

SWEPCo

In November 2020, management announced that it will cease using coal at the Welsh Plant in 2028. As a result of the announcement, SWEPCo began recording a regulatory asset for accelerated depreciation. In December 2024, SWEPCo filed an application for a CCN with the APSC, LPSC and PUCT to convert Welsh Plant, Units 1 and 3 to natural gas in 2028 and 2027, respectively. In February 2026, the APSC issued an order approving the application for a CCN. In July 2026, SWEPCo, PUCT staff and certain intervenors filed an unopposed stipulation and settlement agreement with the PUCT agreeing the application for a CCN should be approved. In September 2026, the PUCT issued an order approving the stipulation and settlement agreement with a modification establishing aseven-year validity period for the order. Additionally, in July 2026, SWEPCo and the LPSC staff filed a joint stipulation agreement and term sheet with the LPSC agreeing the application for a CCN should be approved. In October, the LPSC issued an order approving the joint stipulation agreement.

The table below summarizes the net book value including CWIP, before cost of removal and materials and supplies, as of September 30, 2026, of generating facilities planned for retirement:

AEP Texas Rate Matters (Applies to AEP and AEP Texas)

AEP Texas Interim Transmission and Distribution Rates

Through September 30, 2026, AEP Texas’ cumulative revenues from transmission and distribution interim base rate increases that are subject to review are estimated to be approximately $287 million. AEP Texas recognized a $12 million provision for refund related to the 2025 UTM filing for amounts collected through the third quarter of 2026. A base rate review could result in a refund to customers if AEP Texas incurs a disallowance of the transmission or distribution investment on which an interim increase was based. Management is unable to determine a range of potential losses, if any, that are reasonably possible of occurring. A revenue decrease, including a refund of interim transmission and distribution rates, could reduce future net income and cash flows and impact financial condition.

2025 UTM Filing

In October 2025, AEP Texas submitted its first filing with the PUCT seeking recovery of eligible costs through the UTM. In March 2026, a Texas ALJ issued a PFD recommending partial disallowance of the requested amounts which was based on an interpretation of a later effective date for eligible UTM deferrals. In April 2026, AEP Texas filed responses reflective of the legislative intent of Texas House Bill 5247 (2025). In May 2026, the PUCT Chairman issued a Commissioner Memorandum agreeing with the ALJ’s PFD and ordered the PUCT staff to complete a calculation to confirm the final disallowance amount. Completion of the Commission-required calculation and final order were filed in the third quarter of 2026. In conjunction with the Commissioner Memorandum, AEP Texas recognized an unfavorable pretax impact of $23 million in May 2026 attributable to a portion of the deferrals included in the UTM application period.

UTM Regulatory Assets

As of September 30, 2026, AEP Texas has deferred, beginning August 2025, approximately $89 million of eligible costs as a regulatory asset for inclusion in future AEP Texas’ UTM applications. AEP Texas has also deferred approximately $34 million related to its system resiliency plan for inclusion in future UTM applications. Investments included in the UTM and the existing capital tracker filings remain subject to prudency review in the utility’s next base rate case proceeding before the PUCT. If any of these deferred costs or investments are not approved for recovery, it could reduce future net income and cash flows and impact financial condition.

APCo and WPCo Rate Matters (Applies to AEP and APCo)

2021-2023 ENEC Remand Cases

In January 2024, the WVPSC issued an order resolving APCo’s and WPCo’s (the Companies) 2021-2023 ENEC cases. In the order, the WVPSC: (a) disallowed $232 million in ENEC under-recovered costs as of February 28, 2023 ($136 million related to APCo) and (b) approved the recovery of $321 million of ENEC under-recovered costs as of February 28, 2023 ($174 million related to APCo) plus a 4% debt carrying charge rate over aten-year recovery period starting September 1, 2024.

In February 2024, the Companies filed briefs with the WVSC to initiate an appeal of the January 2024 order. Following arguments that were held in September 2024, the WVSC issued a November 2024 opinion affirming in part and reversing in part the WVPSC’s January 2024 ENEC order. The WVSC remanded the ENEC case to the WVPSC to afford the Companies an opportunity to examine, analyze, rebut and refute the calculation of the $232 million disallowance.

In March 2025, the WVPSC entered an order in the Companies’ 2021-2023 ENEC remand cases further describing its calculations of the ordered $232 million disallowance. In June 2025, the Companies submitted direct testimony on remand supporting a reduction to the WVPSC’s previously ordered disallowance of at least $179 million.

In August 2025, WVPSC staff and an intervening party submitted testimony recommending the continued disallowance of $232 million of ENEC under-recovered costs as of February 28, 2023, with the intervening party recommending that the WVPSC consider a larger disallowance based on alleged imprudence of coal procurement.

A hearing on the 2021-2023 ENEC remand cases was held in October 2025. If any additional 2021-2023 ENEC costs are not recoverable or refunds are ordered, it would reduce future net income and cash flows and impact financial condition.

2026 ENEC Update Filing

In April 2026, the Companies submitted their annual ENEC update filing with the WVPSC for the annual review period ended February 28, 2026, proposing a $21 million annual increase in ENEC rates when compared to existing ENEC rates. The Companies proposed that this increase in ENEC rates become effective September 1, 2026 with the increase in ENEC rates based on the Companies’ projected costs for period September 2026 through August 2027. The Companies’ ENEC update filing also included a projected August 31, 2026 ENEC under-recovery balance of $597 million ($285 million related to APCo). This projected ENEC under-recovery balance included recovery of final true-ups of the Companies’ West Virginia Modified Rate Base Cost (MRBC), Vegetation Management and Broadband surcharges as well as continued deferral of the Companies’ West Virginia base rate increase that was ordered by the WVPSC in August 2025 and February 2026. See the “West Virginia Modified Rate Base Cost (MRBC) Surcharge Update Filing” section below for further details. The Companies proposed that this projected August 31, 2026 ENEC under-recovery balance of $597 million be included in the final combined balance approved by the WVPSC for securitization in late 2026.

In May 2026, the Companies submitted supplemental testimony that adjusted the original requested annual increase in ENEC rates from a $21 million annual increase to a $9 million annual decrease. This modification was the result of a revised forecast of ENEC costs for the period September 2026 through August 2027.

In June 2026, the Companies, WVPSC staff and intervening parties filed a settlement with the WVPSC which recommended a projected August 31, 2026 ENEC under-recovery balance of $594 million ($275 million related to APCo) to be eligible for securitization. The settlement further recommended that the ENEC annual review period ending February 28, 2026 remain open until the Companies’ next ENEC proceeding.

In July 2026, the WVPSC issued an order on the June 2026 settlement, approving a $593 million projected August 31, 2026 ENEC under-recovery balance ($274 million related to APCo) that will be included in the Companies’ overall balance to be securitized. This WVPSC-approved projected ENEC under-recovery balance included the Companies’ proposed final true-ups of MRBC, Vegetation Management and Broadband surcharges as well as ongoing regulatory deferral until securitization of the West Virginia base rate increase that was originally approved in August 2025. The WVPSC’s order also approved an updated $2.7 billion overall balance to be securitized ($1.7 billion related to APCo) as further described in the “2025 West Virginia Securitization Filing” section below. It is currently estimated that this securitization will take place in the fourth quarter of 2026.

In August 2026, the WVPSC issued an order approving a $9 million annual decrease in ENEC rates effective September 1, 2026.

2024 West Virginia Base Rate Case

In September 2025, and in response to the WVPSC’s August 2025 order on the Companies’ 2024 West Virginia Base Rate Case, petitions for reconsideration were filed with the WVPSC to explain the financial consequences of the order and seek clarification on certain issues. In February 2026, the WVPSC issued an order upon reconsideration approving a revised ROE of 9.75%. This approved change in ROE results in a revision to the approved annual increase in base rates from $76 million ($67 million related to APCo) to $91 million ($79 million related to APCo) effective February 20, 2026. All other requests for reconsideration were rejected by the WVPSC.

West Virginia Modified Rate Base Cost (MRBC) Surcharge Update Filing

In March 2024, APCo and WPCo (the Companies) submitted an annual MRBC surcharge update filing with the WVPSC requesting a $32 million annual increase in the Companies’ combined MRBC rates. The MRBC is an infrastructure investment tracker that allows limited cost recovery related to capital investments between the Companies’ West Virginia jurisdictional base rate cases. WVPSC staff and an intervening party recommended revenue requirement disallowances in written and verbal testimony and briefs for certain ratemaking issues used to develop the Companies’ proposed MRBC rates, including the West Virginia jurisdictional effect of state deferred income taxes, NOLCs and AROs.

The WVPSC’s August 2025 order on the Companies’ 2024 West Virginia Base Rate Case filing approved the termination of the MRBC and the transition of MRBC rates into base rates. The WVPSC did not rule on MRBC refunds proposed by WVPSC staff and an intervening party related to NOLCs and other issues.

In April 2026, the WVPSC issued an order that adjudicated the Companies’ 2024 MRBC surcharge update filing. This order affirms previously approved MRBC revenue requirements and allows the Companies to perform a final true-up in an ENEC filing to recover past MRBC costs that were not reflected in MRBC surcharge rates in a timely manner during thefour-year existence of the surcharge. This order also allows the Companies to recognize carrying charges on revised MRBC under-recovery balances starting September 2024 to recover the updated MRBC under-recovery with carrying charges through current ENEC surcharge rates over a period to be determined in the Companies’ 2026 ENEC proceeding. The April 2026 order also noted that collection of revenue requirement related to inclusion of a stand-alone NOLC deferred tax asset in MRBC rates may be subject to refund, pending the future issuance of a PLR or other guidance by the IRS.

A group of APCo customers submitted an appeal to the WVSC alleging that the WVPSC erred in its April 2026 order approving a final MRBC true-up without sufficient record support. In September 2026, APCo and the WVPSC filed motions for the WVSC to dismiss this APCo customer appeal.

In July 2026, the WVPSC issued an order on the Companies’ June 2026 ENEC update filing, approving a $593 million projected August 31, 2026 ENEC under-recovery balance ($274 million related to APCo) that will be included in the Companies’ overall balance to be securitized. The WVPSC’s order approves the Companies’ proposed recovery of the remaining MRBC under-recovery balance of $34 million ($28 million related to APCo) as part of the $593 million ENEC under-recovery balance approved for securitization.

If any refund liabilities are imposed by the WVPSC related to MRBC, it could reduce future net income and cash flows and impact financial condition.

In April 2026, the WVPSC issued an order conditionally approving an annual Inflation-Based Rate Adjustment to current base rates of 4% for residential and commercial customers and 2.5% for industrial customers, provided that the Companies: (a) agree with proceeding with securitization, unless otherwise ordered by the WVPSC, (b) agree that the April 2026 Notice of Intent to file a 2026 West Virginia base rate case will be withdrawn and (c) agree that a new base rate case will not be filed prior to June 1, 2027. In April 2026, the Companies agreed to the terms of the Inflation-Based Rate Adjustment described above and filed revised tariff sheets reflecting a $40 million combined annual increase to base rates effective July 1, 2026.

A group of APCo customers submitted an appeal to the WVSC alleging that the WVPSC erred in its April 2026 order approving the Inflation-Based Rate Adjustment without adequate findings, evidentiary support or reasoned explanation demonstrating the approval of reasonable rates under WVPSC statutes. In September 2026, APCo and the WVPSC filed motions for the WVSC to dismiss the APCo customer appeal.

An intervening party submitted an appeal to the WVSC regarding the Inflation-Based Rate Adjustment alleging that the WVPSC: (a) failed to carry its burden of proving that the Companies’ existing rates were unreasonable and needed to be changed, (b) failed to adequately support its order with evidence of record and (c) violated the due process rights of the intervening party and the customers that it represents. A statement of reasons is due from the WVPSC and a brief is due from APCo in November 2026 while reply briefs are due in December 2026. Oral arguments will be held in the first half of 2027.

If the Companies are ordered to issue future refunds associated with the Inflation-Based Rate Adjustment, it would reduce future net income and cash flows and impact financial condition.

2025 West Virginia Securitization Filing

In March 2026, the WVPSC issued a final financing order approving the Companies’ proposed securitization of the following: (a) remaining combined unrecovered ENEC balances, (b) undepreciated West Virginia jurisdictional plant balances as of December 31, 2022 for the Amos, Mitchell and Mountaineer Plants, (c) undepreciated environmental costs previously approved for recovery through a separate West Virginia surcharge and (d) West Virginia jurisdictional deferred major storm operation and maintenance costs.

In July 2026, the WVPSC issued an order on the June 2026 settlement agreement in the Companies’ 2026 ENEC update filing, approving a modified $593 million projected August 31, 2026 ENEC under-recovery balance ($274 million related to APCo) and an overall securitization balance of $2.7 billion ($1.7 billion related to APCo) as reflected in the table below:

Eligible Costs Approved by the WVPSC for SecuritizationAPCoWPCoTotal

Total$1,672$1,036$2,708

(a)Amounts represent estimates. The WVPSC may update these estimates prior to securitization bond marketing.

In accordance with the West Virginia statutory requirements and the financing order, the issuance of the securitization bonds is subject to final review by the WVPSC after bond pricing. The Companies will proceed with the securitization bond issuance process and plan to complete the securitization in the fourth quarter of 2026, subject to market conditions. If any of these costs are not recoverable, it could reduce future net income and cash flows and impact financial condition.

2025 Virginia Securitization Filing

In May 2026, APCo issued 20-year securitization bonds to finance approximately $1.4 billion of jurisdictional costs, including: (a) $1.2 billion of certain Virginia jurisdictional Property, Plant and Equipment balances for the Amos and Mountaineer Plants, (b) $141 million of Virginia jurisdictional major storm other operation and maintenance expenses deferred to Regulatory Assets during the 2024-2025 biennial period and (c) $11 million of up-front financing costs. After issuing the securitization bonds, APCo implemented a rider to recover annual securitization debt financing costs and the Base Rate Reduction (BRR) Rider to credit customers for the recovery of, and return on, the Amos and Mountaineer Plant costs currently included in APCo Virginia base rates.

2026 Virginia Base Rate Case

In May 2026, APCo filed a request with the Virginia SCC for a net $105 million annual decrease in distribution and generation base rates. Approximately $166 million of the proposed decrease to base rates is currently credited to customers through the BRR Rider associated with the securitization of certain Virginia jurisdictional Amos and Mountaineer Plant balances as described in the “2025 Virginia Securitization Filing” section above, resulting in an estimated net $61 million increase to base rates. The BRR Rider will expire upon the implementation of new base rates. The proposed $61 million annual increase in base rates is based on a 10.5% ROE and an actual capital structure of 50.3% debt and 49.7% common equity. The $61 million requested base rate increase is primarily due to general inflation, increased investment in distribution and generation, increased capital costs and the costs of required programs to support electric vehicles and low-income solar.

In August 2026, intervenors submitted testimony recommending a $1 million annual increase in base rates based on a recommended 9.325% ROE. Included in this proposed revenue requirement is a proposed denial of recovery of a $9 million regulatory asset related to APCo’s targeted circuits program that was previously approved for deferral by the Virginia SCC. Intervenor testimony also proposed the disallowance of alleged above-market purchased power expense from OVEC.

In September 2026, Virginia SCC staff issued testimony recommending a $6 million annual decrease in base rates based on a recommended 9.65% ROE, the removal of $37 million of vegetation management costs from base rates for recovery through a separate surcharge and modifications to APCo’s forecasted capital expenditures, retirements and accumulated depreciation for 2026 and 2027. For purposes of Virginia retail ratemaking, Virginia SCC staff testimony recommended continued capitalization of certain vegetation management costs impacted by the recent FERC Audit of SWEPCo.

In September 2026, APCo filed rebuttal testimony supporting a revised annual increase in base rates of $16 million. The change in APCo’s proposal is based primarily on the recommended removal of $37 million of vegetation management costs to be recovered through a separate rider and $12 million of ARO costs that are also recommended to be recovered through a separate rider.

In October 2026, APCo, Virginia SCC staff and intervening parties entered into a settlement agreement that includes an estimated first year $4 million reduction to base revenues and a net $0 second year change in base revenues based on a 9.80% ROE and a capital structure of 50.2% debt and 49.8% common equity. The settlement agreement also includes: (a) an agreement for APCo to prospectively recover vegetation management capital and operation and maintenance costs through a separate rate adjustment clause, (b) an agreement for APCo to prospectively recover generation-related ARO costs through a separate rate adjustment clause, (c) approval for APCo to recover $8 million of deferred costs related to APCo’s targeted circuits program and (d) authority for APCo to defer PJM ancillary services costs using an $11 million band above or below the level approved for recovery in base rates. For purposes of Virginia retail ratemaking, the settlement agreement also provides for continued capitalization of certain vegetation management costs impacted by the recent FERC Audit of SWEPCo. See the “FERC Audit” section below for additional information. A hearing was held in October 2026.

The Virginia SCC’s final order is required to be issued no later than January 2027 with updated base rates to be implemented in March 2027. If any costs in this filing are not approved for recovery, it could reduce future net income and cash flows and impact financial condition.

ETT Rate Matters (Applies to AEP)

2026 ETT Base Rate Case

In April 2026, ETT filed a request with the PUCT for a $42 million annual base rate increase over its adjusted test year revenues which includes interim transmission rate updates. ETT’s request is based upon a proposed 10.5% ROE with a capital structure of 55% debt and 45% common equity. The rate case seeks a prudence review determination on cumulative capital additions included in interim rates.

In July 2026, ETT filed a motion on behalf of the parties to the proceeding to implement interim rates based on a settlement in principle. The motion for interim rates was approved by an ALJ and became effective August 1, 2026. In August 2026, a unanimous and unopposed settlement was filed with the PUCT. The settlement terms included a base rate increase of approximately $8 million, based on a 9.6% ROE and a capital structure of 59% debt and 41% equity. The settlement also included a determination that ETT’s invested capital and rate base are prudent and properly included in rates. In October 2026, the ALJ filed a proposed order recommending approval of the settlement. If any of the costs in the case are not recoverable, it could reduce future net income and cash flows and impact financial condition.

I&M Rate Matters (Applies to AEP and I&M)

2024 Michigan Power Supply Cost Recovery (PSCR) Reconciliation

In March 2025, I&M submitted its 2024 PSCR Reconciliation to the MPSC. In October 2025, MPSC staff and intervenors submitted testimony recommending PSCR cost disallowances associated with the OVEC Inter-Company Power Agreement (ICPA) and the Rockport UPA with AEGCo ranging from $259 thousand to $14 million. In July 2026, the MPSC ordered a $1 million cost disallowance associated with the OVEC ICPA andno cost disallowance associated with the Rockport UPA with AEGCo.

In July 2025, the IURC issued an order on I&M’s Resource Adequacy Rider update filing approving I&M’s proposed capacity resource adjustments, including prospective recovery of OVEC capacity, energy and associated costs that were previously assigned to I&M Michigan retail customers starting with the June 2025-May 2026 PJM delivery year.

Indiana Earnings Test

I&M is required by Indiana law to submit an earnings test evaluation for the most recent one-year and five-year periods as part of I&M’s semi-annual Indiana FAC filings. These earnings test evaluations require I&M to include a credit in the FAC factor computation for periods in which I&M earned above its authorized return for the one-year periods ending May and November. The credit is determined as 50% of the one-year earnings above the authorized level. If future IURC orders require that I&M provide credits in the FAC factor computation in excess of established earnings test requirements, it could reduce future net income and cash flows and impact financial condition.

In February 2026, I&M submitted its FAC filing and earnings test evaluation for the period ended November 2025. I&M proposed an over-earnings credit to customers for the earnings test period ending November 2025 of $53 million based on requested modifications to jurisdictional cost allocations to more accurately reflect I&M’s cost to serve Indiana retail customers. In June 2026, the IURC issued an order approving the jurisdictional cost allocation modifications and the $53 million over-earnings customer credit.

In August 2026, I&M submitted its earnings test evaluation for the period ended May 2026 with a proposed over-earnings credit to customers through the FAC of $66 million. In September 2026, an intervening party submitted testimony agreeing with I&M’s proposed over-earnings credit of $66 million for the period ending May 2026. Beginning March 2026 and as approved by the IURC, I&M reflects costs associated with the Oregon Clean Energy Center and other plants approved by the IURC for acquisition under I&M’s Expedited Generation Resource (EGR) Plan either as eligible costs for recovery through existing I&M Indiana riders or in I&M’s ongoing Indiana earnings test evaluation. See the "Oregon Clean Energy Center" and the "Big Sandy Peaker Plant" sections of Note 6. I&M Indiana jurisdictional over-earnings up to the amount of revenue from large load customers are now accumulated in a separate regulatory liability for refund to customers over a time period to be determined in a future proceeding at the IURC. As of September 30, 2026, the balance of this regulatory liability was $97 million. Any over-earnings that exceed the amount of revenue from large load customers will continue to be credited to customers through the FAC. See the “2026 Indiana Base Rate Case” section below for discussion of I&M’s proposed Reduce-and-Freeze mechanism (RAF). The IURC is expected to issue an order in the fourth quarter of 2026.

2026 Indiana Base Rate Case

On February 26, 2026, House Enrolled Act 1002 (HEA 1002) was signed into law in Indiana. This law requires Indiana’s investor-owned electricity suppliers to petition the IURC for approval of a multi-year rate plan (MYRP). When establishing an electricity supplier’s authorized return for its MYRP, Indiana law requires the IURC to consider any changes in risk to the electricity supplier and its customers that may result from implementing the MYRP. HEA 1002 also states that performance metrics and performance incentive mechanisms (PIM) will be applicable to each year of the electricity supplier’s MYRP with regards to affordability and service restoration.

In July 2026, the IURC launched two investigations applicable to all Indiana electric suppliers. One investigation considers the risks to the electricity suppliers and customers in Indiana as a result of the electricity supplier implementing an MYRP with respect to an electric suppliers’ authorized return. The second investigation considers the development of guidelines for electric suppliers and stakeholders to utilize in evaluating the future use of trackers under a MYRP framework. In October 2026, the IURC finalized the list of issues for its investigations into ROE and tracker mechanisms with stakeholder testimony due in December 2026 and hearings scheduled for February 2027.

In August 2026, in accordance with a settlement agreement previously approved by the IURC and consistent with HEA 1002, I&M submitted a base rate filing with the IURC based on a MYRP for the forecasted years 2027 through 2029. The proposed MYRP includes a RAF rate mechanism with an overall $42 million decrease in I&M Indiana base and rider rates based on a 10.1% ROE and a capital structure of 48.8% debt and 51.2% equity. I&M’s MYRP proposes to freeze base rates and most rider rates, with limited exceptions primarily related to large load customers. The RAF will repurpose I&M’s existing Indiana Earnings Test. Under the RAF, I&M will continue to measure its actual earnings compared to its authorized earnings and record a regulatory liability for I&M Indiana jurisdictional earnings that exceed I&M’s authorized net operating income (NOI) and ROE thresholds. During the MYRP, I&M requested accounting authority to recover its increasing cost of service and earn up to its IURC-authorized Indiana jurisdictional NOI and ROE by amortizing existing regulatory liabilities or establishing a regulatory asset for recovery in a future MYRP proceeding.

I&M’s MYRP and authorized ROE will be subject to specific performance metrics and PIMs ordered by the IURC.

I&M’s Indiana base rate update filing also describes I&M’s intent to submit a Subsequent License Renewal Application (SLRA) filing with the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) in the first quarter of 2027 that will request an extension of the current licenses of Cook Plant Units 1 and 2 from 2034 and 2037 as currently authorized, to 2054 and 2057, respectively. I&M is requesting recovery of related costs expected to be incurred during the MYRP and proposed depreciation rates reflect this anticipated license extension.

For I&M’s MYRP base rate case, intervenor testimony is due in December 2026 and a hearing is scheduled for February 2027 . It is currently estimated that a final order from the IURC will be issued in June 2027 with changes to rates effective in July 2027. If any costs in this filing are not approved for recovery, it could reduce future net income and cash flows and impact financial condition.

KPCo Rate Matters (Applies to AEP)

Investigation of the Service, Rates and Facilities of KPCo

In June 2023, the KPSC issued an order directing KPCo to show cause why it should not be subject to Kentucky statutory remedies, including fines and penalties, for failure to provide adequate service in its service territory. The KPSC’s show cause order did not make any determination regarding the adequacy of KPCo’s service. In July 2023, KPCo filed a response to the show cause order demonstrating that it has provided adequate service. In December 2023 and February 2024, KPCo and certain intervenors filed testimony with the KPSC. A hearing with the KPSC was previously scheduled to occur in June 2024. The hearing was postponed and has not yet been rescheduled. If any fines or penalties are levied against KPCo relating to the show cause order, it could reduce future net income and cash flows and impact financial condition.

Mitchell Plant Filing for Certificate of Public Convenience and Necessity

KPCo and WPCo each own a 50% undivided interest in the 1,560 MW coal-fired Mitchell Plant. In July 2021, the KPSC rejected KPCo’s ELG compliance plan for KPCo’s 50% ownership share of ELG investments at the Mitchell Plant that would allow KPCo to take capacity and energy to serve customers beyond December 31, 2028. As a result of this order, and pursuant to September 2022 resolutions under the existing Mitchell Plant Operating Agreement, WPCo funded 100% of the Mitchell Plant ELG investments that have been placed in service. In addition, WPCo also paid for a greater than 50% share of certain non-ELG capital investments made at Mitchell Plant which will continue to be used in the operation of Mitchell Plant beyond 2028.

In June 2025, KPCo filed a request with the KPSC for a CPCN to make investments necessary to reflect: (a) a 50% share of the Mitchell Plant ELG Project and (b) a 50% share of non-ELG capital investments. KPSC approval of these investments would allow KPCo to continue taking a 50% share of energy and capacity from the Mitchell Plant to serve KPCo customers beyond December 31, 2028. KPCo proposed to recover the estimated $78 million investment in the ELG Project through KPCo’s existing Environmental Surcharge and requested recovery of an estimated $60 million of Mitchell Plant non-ELG capital investments through its 2025 Kentucky Base Rate Case filing. See the “2025 Kentucky Base Rate Case” section below for additional information.

In November 2025, KPCo and an intervening party submitted a settlement agreement that recommended the approval of KPCo’s proposed Mitchell Plant CPCN and use of KPCo’s Environmental Surcharge to recover Mitchell Plant ELG project costs through 2040. The settlement agreement further recommended granting KPCo authority to defer the depreciation expense and carrying costs associated with Mitchell Plant non-ELG capital investments to a regulatory asset until it can be reflected in rates. The recovery mechanism for Mitchell Plant non-ELG capital investments will be addressed in KPCo’s 2025 Kentucky Base Rate Case filing. See the “2025 Kentucky Base Rate Case” section below for additional information.

In December 2025, the KPSC issued an order approving the settlement agreement, the Mitchell Plant CPCN and recovery of ELG capital investments through the Environmental Surcharge. The KPSC’s order imposes annual reporting requirements to review capital investment costs at the Mitchell Plant.

To operate in accordance with KPSC and WVPSC directives related to Mitchell Plant ELG investments, KPCo and WPCo expect to utilize existing authority under the Mitchell Plant Operating Agreement to revise billing procedures resulting in equal allocation of costs. In February 2026, WPCo requested that the WVPSC grant any additional authorizations necessary to enable WPCo to reflect the holdings and impact of the December 2025 KPSC order or make a determination that no such authorizations are required. In September 2026, the WVPSC entered an order conditionally granting WPCo’s request, allowing the revised billing procedures and cost equalization to proceed, but deferred final determination of the appropriate amounts to be equalized until APCo’s and WPCo’s next base rate case. As of September 30, 2026, the net book value of KPCo’s share of the Mitchell Plant, before cost of removal and including CWIP and inventory, and prior to the effect of revised billing procedures expected under the Mitchell Plant Operating Agreement to comply with the KPSC’s December 2025 order, was $514 million.

2025 Kentucky Base Rate Case

In August 2025, KPCo filed a request with the KPSC for a $96 million net annual increase in base rates based upon a proposed 10% ROE and a proposed capital structure of 53.9% debt and 46.1% common equity, to be implemented no earlier than March 2026. Among other changes, the filing proposed a $10 million increase in PJM transmission costs, a $9 million increase due to load loss and a $6 million increase in depreciation rates.

The proposed annual rate increase also included a $20 million annual revenue requirement related to KPCo’s investment in the Mitchell Plant. See the “Mitchell Plant Filing for Certificate of Public Convenience and Necessity” section above for additional information. As part of this filing, KPCo requested a new generation rider to recover the remaining net book value of KPCo’s non-environmental investment in the Mitchell Plant that KPCo historically recovered through base rates. If the generation rider is approved, the $20 million would be removed from the requested revenue requirement increase and would be collected through the rider. Additionally, KPCo is pursuing securitization legislation that would allow KPCo to securitize the remaining net book value of the Mitchell Plant. If the securitization of the remaining Mitchell Plant net book value is successful, collection of costs through the generation rider would cease.

In January 2026, KPCo and certain intervening parties submitted a settlement agreement with the KPSC proposing a $77 million annual increase in Kentucky retail rates, including: (a) a $59 million annual increase in KPCo base rates based on a 9.8% authorized ROE and a capital structure of 53.9% debt and 46.1% common equity and (b) a new generation rider with a first year revenue requirement of $18 million based on a 9.7% authorized ROE to recover non-environmental plant investments at Mitchell Plant and all incremental capital investments after May 31, 2025 at both Mitchell Plant and Big Sandy Plant. Capital and other operation and maintenance expenses related to any new generating assets also will be eligible for inclusion in the Generation Rider, subject to KPSC approval. The settlement revenue requirement will be reduced by $25 million in the first year and $15 million in the second year through a new rider that returns certain unprotected deferred tax expenses in customer rates on a temporary basis, and then beginning in the third year, collects the deferred tax expense amounts from customers over the estimated time period that taxes are due to the IRS. The settlement agreement also proposes: (a) approval to defer all storm other operation and maintenance expenses above or below the level included in base rates and (b) approval to defer vegetation management costs above or below the level included in base rates, capped at a total of $45 million in 2026 and $52 million in 2027. Consistent with the KPSC order in KPCo’s 2023 Kentucky Base Rate Case filing, the settlement agreement also provides that KPCo’s proposal to include a stand-alone NOLC deferred tax asset in rate base will be addressed in a future proceeding upon KPCo’s receipt of a PLR or other guidance from the IRS. A hearing was held in January 2026.

In February 2026, the KPSC issued an order modifying the January 2026 settlement agreement and approving an annual increase of $55 million in Kentucky retail rates based upon a 9.75% base rate ROE effective March 1, 2026. This increase is inclusive of a $36 million increase in base rates and a $19 million increase due to the new generation rider. The order reduced the settlement revenue requirement by $22 million primarily due to a $10 million reduction related to FERC transmission expense and a $9 million reduction in incentive and other compensation. Additionally, the KPSC ordered that $47 million of certain vegetation management costs previously incurred and capitalized from January 2018 through May 2025 should be reclassified as a regulatory asset to be recovered over a 30 year period with no carrying costs, and that prospective vegetation management costs incurred should no longer be capitalized but instead be treated as operating expense.

In March 2026, KPCo filed a request with the KPSC seeking rehearing on the vegetation management finding in the base case order in addition to certain other denied costs. In April 2026, the KPSC issued an order approving KPCo’s request for rehearing. Additionally, the order authorized KPCo to defer $18 million of certain vegetation management costs previously incurred and capitalized from June 2025 through February 2026 to a regulatory asset, pending the KPSC’s final decision on rehearing. If any costs included in the request for rehearing are not approved for recovery, it could reduce future net income and cash flows and impact financial condition.

OPCo Rate Matters (Applies to AEP and OPCo)

OVEC Cost Recovery Audits

In December 2021, as part of OVEC cost recovery audits pending before the PUCO, intervenors filed positions claiming that costs incurred by OPCo during the 2018-2019 audit period were imprudent and should be disallowed. In May 2022, intervenors filed for rehearing on the 2016-2017 OVEC cost recovery audit period claiming the PUCO’s April 2022 order to adopt the findings of the audit report were unjust, unlawful and unreasonable for multiple reasons, including the position that OPCo recovered imprudently incurred costs. In May 2023, as part of the OVEC cost recovery audits pending before the PUCO, intervenors filed positions claiming that costs incurred by OPCo during the 2020 audit period were imprudent and should be disallowed.

In August 2024, the PUCO issued orders pertaining to the OVEC cost recovery audits that: (a) denied intervenors’ application for rehearing on the 2016-2017 audit period, (b) determined costs incurred by OPCo during the 2018-2019 audit period were prudent, (c) determined costs incurred by OPCo during the 2020 audit period were prudent and (d) recommended no disallowances for any mentioned audit period in question. In September 2024, intervenors filed for rehearing on the 2018-2019 and 2020 OVEC cost recovery audit periods claiming the PUCO’s August 2024 orders to adopt the findings of the audit reports were unjust, unlawful and unreasonable for multiple reasons, including the position that OPCo recovered imprudently incurred costs. In October 2024, the PUCO denied the intervenors’ applications for rehearing of the 2018-2019 and 2020 audit periods.

In December 2024, intervenors filed appeals with the Supreme Court of Ohio on the PUCO’s denial for rehearing. In April 2026 and June 2026, the Supreme Court of Ohio affirmed the PUCO’s August 2024 orders finding that costs incurred by OPCo during the 2018-2019 audit period and 2020 audit period, respectively, were prudent.

In February and March 2025, as part of OVEC cost recovery audits pending before the PUCO, intervenors filed positions claiming that costs incurred by OPCo during the 2021-2023 audit period were imprudent and should be disallowed. Management disagrees with these claims and is unable to predict the impact of these disputes. An evidentiary hearing was held in November 2025 and post-hearing briefs were submitted in February 2026. If any costs are disallowed or refunds are ordered, it could reduce future net income and cash flows and impact financial condition.

In October 2026, as part of OVEC cost recovery audits pending before the PUCO, intervenors filed positions claiming that costs incurred by OPCo during the 2024–2025 audit period were imprudent and should be disallowed. Management disagrees with these assertions and is unable to predict the impact of these disputes. If any costs are disallowed or refunds are ordered, it could reduce future net income and cash flows and impact financial condition.

2025 Ohio Base Rate Case

In May 2025, OPCo filed a request with the PUCO for a net $97 million annual increase in distribution base rates based upon a 10.9% ROE and a proposed capital structure of 49.1% debt and 50.9% common equity.

In January 2026, OPCo, the PUCO staff, and certain intervenors filed a settlement agreement with the PUCO. After incorporating reductions to rider rates, the settlement reflects an annual net revenue increase of $11 million based upon a 9.84% ROE and a capital structure of 49.1% debt and 50.9% common equity while also securing a reduction in customer rates through the amortization of $82 million of deferred tax regulatory liabilities over 18 months, an item not included in the original application. The resulting overall annual revenue impact is a net decrease of $59 million. The difference between OPCo’s requested annual base rate increase and the settlement is primarily due to a reduction in the requested ROE. Additionally, the agreement proposed increased revenue caps for the Distribution Investment Rider, annual cost cap increases in the Enhanced Service Reliability Rider and would result in no material disallowances. In April 2026, the PUCO issued an order approving the joint stipulation and settlement agreement and rates went into effect. In May 2026, the PUCO denied applications for rehearing submitted bytwo intervenors.

March and August 2026 Storm Costs

In March 2026, OPCo’s service territory was impacted by strong winds from an isolated storm resulting in power outages and damage to the transmission and distribution infrastructure. In August 2026, OPCo’s service territory was impacted by severe winds from another storm resulting in power outages and damage to the transmission and distribution infrastructure. As of September 30, 2026, OPCo had incurred approximately $27 million and $30 million in incremental operation and maintenance costs related to service restoration efforts for March 2026 and August 2026 storms, respectively. These incremental storm restoration costs have been deferred as a regulatory asset and OPCo expects to seek future recovery of those costs through its approved storm cost recovery mechanism.

PSO Rate Matters (Applies to AEP and PSO)

2026 Oklahoma Base Rate Case

In January 2026, PSO filed a request with the OCC for a $299 million annual base rate increase based upon a 10.5% ROE with a capital structure of 50.1% debt and 49.9% common equity, net of existing rider revenue and certain incremental renewable facility benefits expected to be provided to customers through riders. PSO also requested an expanded transmission cost recovery rider and a new vegetation management rider. Further, PSO is seeking approval of new large load special terms and conditions in the Large Power and Light tariff.

In May 2026, various intervenors and staff filed testimony supporting an annual base rate increase ranging from $10 million to $109 million based on a recommended ROE ranging from 8.3% to 9.38%. The primary differences between PSO’s requested annual increase in base rates and staff and intervenors’ recommendations include: (a) a reduction in the proposed ROE, (b) modifications to PSO’s previously approved treatment of a stand-alone NOLC deferred tax asset in rate base, (c) treatment of storm costs and (d) adjustments to PSO's proposed depreciation and amortization.

In June 2026, PSO, OCC staff and certain intervening parties filed a non-unanimous partial joint stipulation and settlement agreement for a $73 million revenue increase based upon a 9.375% ROE utilizing PSO’s filed actual capital structure of 50.1% debt and 49.9% common equity that included: (a) a requirement for PSO to provide a credit over atwo-year period for deferred tax liabilities related to tax repairs which will then be recovered over the life of the underlying plant after the credit period, (b) PSO to expand its SPP Transmission Cost Rider as requested, (c) no change in the treatment of PSO’s NOLC, and (d) PSO to recover vegetation management costs consistent with the amount in PSO’s filed request and defer $13 million of eligible vegetation management costs in the first year of implemented rates, and $4 million each year thereafter. All issues related to PSO's proposed large load tariffs would be an open issue at hearing. Certain intervening parties did not sign the settlement agreement and contested certain of its provisions. Interim rates were implemented, subject to refund, on July 1, 2026 reflecting the terms of this settlement. A hearing was held and an order is expected in the fourth quarter of 2026. If any costs included in this filing are not approved for recovery, it could reduce future net income and cash flows and impact financial condition.

SWEPCo Rate Matters (Applies to AEP and SWEPCo)

2025 Texas Base Rate Case

In October 2025, SWEPCo filed a request with the PUCT for a $164 million annual increase in Texas base rates based upon a 10.75% ROE and a proposed capital structure of 48% debt and 52% common equity. The request would move certain revenues recovered through riders, including interim revenues on transmission and distribution investment since the 2020 Texas Base Rate Case, into base rates resulting in a net annual rate increase of $95 million. The proposed net annual increase includes recovery of the Texas jurisdictional share of the retired Pirkey Plant through depreciation expense and requests $21 million annually to recover deferred storm costs and expand the utility’s self-insurance reserve for potential losses and damages.

In March 2026, various intervenors filed testimony supporting a reduction to SWEPCo's net request ranging from $36 million to $64 million based on a recommended ROE ranging from 9.25% to 9.44%. In March 2026, PUCT staff filed testimony supporting a reduction to SWEPCo's net request of $26 million based on an ROE of 9.6%. The primary differences between SWEPCo’s requested annual increase in base rates and staff and intervenors’ recommendations include: (a) recovery of the Pirkey Plant, (b) modifications to SWEPCo’s previously approved treatment of a stand-alone NOLC deferred tax asset in rate base and (c) a reduction in the proposed ROE.

In April 2026, a unanimous settlement in principle was reached and SWEPCo filed a motion to abate the hearing. In September 2026, a unanimous stipulation and settlement agreement was filed with the PUCT. The agreement provides: (a) a 9.53% ROE and a capital structure of 48.02% debt and 51.98% common equity resulting in a $48 million annual increase, (b) partial recovery of the remaining net book value of the Pirkey Plant over 19 years with no return on the unamortized balance and (c) $11 million annually to recover deferred storm costs and fund the utility’s self-insurance reserve. A PUCT order on the settlement is expected in the fourth quarter of 2026, with rates implemented retroactively back to March 2026. If the PUCT does not accept the settlement and any costs included in this filing are not approved for recovery, it could reduce future net income and cash flows and impact financial condition.

PSO and SWEPCo Rate Matters (Applies to AEP, PSO and SWEPCo)

North Central Wind Energy Facilities (NCWF)

The NCWF are subject to various regulatory performance requirements, including a Net Capacity Factor (NCF) guarantee. The NCF guarantee measures in MWhs across all facilities on a combined basis for each five-year period for the first thirty full years of operation. The first NCF guarantee five year period began in April 2022. Certain wind turbines experienced performance issues that prompted PSO and SWEPCo to file a lawsuit against the manufacturer, which led to an agreement between PSO and SWEPCo and the manufacturer that addressed the performance issues. If regulatory performance requirements, such as the NCF guarantee, are not met, PSO and SWEPCo may recognize a regulatory liability associated with a refund to retail customers.

SPP OATT Upgrade Costs

Under the SPP OATT, costs of sponsor-funded transmission upgrades may be recovered, in part, from SPP customers whose transmission service is dependent upon capacity enabled by the upgrades. In 2016, SPP billed transmission service customers, including PSO and SWEPCo, for upgrade costs incurred since 2008. SPP then credited the qualifying transmission owners, including SWEPCo, for the use of these upgrades. In July 2026, as a result of a FERC order, the amounts billed relating to the period 2008 to 2015 were required to be refunded. In the third quarter of 2026, PSO recognized a net favorable impact of approximately $12 million while SWEPCo had no net impact related to this matter. SPP is currently analyzing impacts related to costs of sponsor-funded transmission upgrades for the period subsequent to 2015. Based on the information currently available, management does not believe a loss is probable and cannot determine a range of potential losses, if any, that is reasonably possible of occurring.

FERC Rate Matters

Independence Energy Connection Project (Applies to AEP)

In 2016, PJM approved the Independence Energy Connection Project (IEC) and included it in its Regional Transmission Expansion Plan to alleviate congestion. Transource Energy has an ownership interest in the IEC, which is located in Maryland and Pennsylvania. In June 2020, the Maryland Public Service Commission approved a CPCN to construct the portion of the IEC in Maryland. In May 2021, the Pennsylvania Public Utility Commission (PAPUC) denied the IEC certificate for siting and construction of the portion in Pennsylvania. Transource Energy appealed the PAPUC ruling in Pennsylvania state court and challenged the ruling before the United States District Court for the Middle District of Pennsylvania. In May 2022, the Pennsylvania state court issued an order affirming the PAPUC decision as to state law claims. In December 2023, the United States District Court for the Middle District of Pennsylvania granted summary judgment in favor of Transource Energy, finding that the PAPUC decision violated federal law and the United States Constitution. In January 2024, the PAPUC filed an appeal of the district court’s grant of summary judgment with the United States Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit. In September 2025, the United States Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit affirmed the December 2023 district court order in favor of Transource Energy. The Pennsylvania Attorney General subsequently petitioned to intervene, which the United States Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit denied. The Pennsylvania Attorney General sought review of the United States Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit’s decision at the United States Supreme Court, which was denied in June 2026.

In May 2026, the Maryland Public Service Commission approved an extension of the construction commencement deadline to June 2027. In May 2026, Transource Energy filed its siting application for a CPCN to provide utility service in Franklin County, Pennsylvania, a petition for exemption from certain local zoning regulations and a motion to consolidate thethree filings.

In September 2021, PJM notified Transource Energy that the IEC was suspended to allow for the regulatory and related appeals process to proceed in an orderly manner without breaching milestone dates in the project agreement. At that time, PJM stated that the IEC had not been canceled and remained necessary to alleviate congestion. In July 2025, PJM removed the IEC from suspended status and indicated the project going forward will be included in PJM’s models with a modified scope. PJM continues to evaluate reliability and market efficiency in the area. As of September 30, 2026, AEP’s share of IEC capital expenditures was approximately $73 million, located in Total Property, Plant and Equipment - Net on AEP’s balance sheets related to the continuing portion of the IEC project. In addition, AEP’s share of IEC capital expenditures located in Regulatory Assets on AEP’s balance sheets as of September 30, 2026 was approximately $20 million related to the portion of the project that is excluded from the modified scope and not continuing. Transource Energy intends to seek recovery of the regulatory asset through the abandonment incentive previously granted by the FERC for this project which allows for the recovery of prudently incurred costs if the project is canceled for reasons outside the control of Transource Energy. The modified IEC project is pending regulatory approvals in Pennsylvania as mentioned above. If any of the IEC costs are not recoverable, it could reduce future net income and cash flows and impact financial condition.

FERC 2021 PJM and SPP Transmission Formula Rate Challenge (Applies to all Registrant Subsidiaries except AEP Texas)

The Registrants transitioned to stand-alone treatment of NOLCs in their PJM and SPP transmission formula rates beginning with the 2022 projected transmission revenue requirements and 2021 true-up to actual transmission revenue requirements, and provided notice of this change in informational filings made with the FERC. The annual revenue requirement increase as a result of the transition to stand-alone treatment of NOLCs for transmission formula rates is shown in the table below:

20212022202320242025Total
(in millions)
$78$68$61$52$49$308

In January 2024, the FERC issuedtwo orders granting formal challenges by certain unaffiliated customers related to stand-alone treatment of NOLCs in the 2021 Transmission Formula Rates of the AEP transmission owning subsidiaries within PJM and SPP. The FERC directed the AEP transmission owning subsidiaries within PJM and SPP to provide refunds with interest on all amounts collected for the 2021 rate year, and for such refunds to be reflected in the annual update for the next rate year. Accordingly, AEP transmission owning subsidiaries within PJM and SPP provided refunds for the 2021 rate year, primarily through 2025 transmission revenue requirements. AEP transmission owning subsidiaries within PJM and SPP have not been directed to make cash refunds related to 2022 through 2025 rate years. As a result of the January 2024 FERC orders, the Registrants’ balance sheets reflected a liability for the probable refund of all NOLC revenues included in transmission formula rates, with interest.

In February 2024, AEPSC on behalf of the AEP transmission owning subsidiaries within PJM and SPP filed requests for rehearing. In March 2024, the FERC denied AEPSC’s requests for rehearing of the January 2024 orders by operation of law and stated it may address the requests for rehearing in future orders. In March 2024, AEPSC submitted refund compliance reports to the FERC, which preserve the non-finality of the FERC’s January 2024 orders pending further proceedings on rehearing and appeal. In April 2024, AEPSC made filings with the FERC which requested that the FERC: (a) reopen the record so that the FERC may take the IRS PLRs received in April 2024 regarding the treatment of stand-alone NOLCs in ratemaking into evidence and consider them in substantive orders on rehearing and (b) stay its January 2024 orders and related compliance filings and refunds to provide time for consideration of the April 2024 IRS PLRs. In May 2024, AEPSC filed a petition for review with the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit seeking review of the FERC’s January 2024 and March 2024 decisions. In July 2024, the FERC issued orders approving AEPSC’s request to reopen the record for the limited purpose of accepting into the record the IRS PLRs and establish additional briefing procedures. In August 2024, AEPSC filed briefs with the FERC requesting the commission modify or overturn its initial orders.

In June 2025, the FERC issuedtwo orders, partially reversing its January 2024 decisions on the basis of IRS PLRs accepted into the record, and concluding that the accelerated depreciation-related NOLC adjustments should be included in rate base and should also be included in the computation of Excess ADIT regulatory liabilities to be refunded to customers. Requests for rehearing were filed by intervenors in July 2025 and were rejected by the FERC on the merits in November 2025. Intervenors have filed petitions for review of the FERC’s orders in this matter with the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit. The appeals have been consolidated, and briefs were filed by the various parties in the third quarter of 2026. In October 2026, the court issued an order scheduling oral arguments for the fourth quarter of 2026.

As directed by the FERC in its June 2025 order, AEP transmission owning subsidiaries within PJM and SPP submitted compliance filings in August 2025 that revised the March 2024 refund compliance reports and permit the collection of excess refunds provided to customers, with interest, in the annual update for the 2025 rate year. In October 2025, intervenors filed comments in response to the compliance filings. In March and April 2026, the FERC approved the AEP transmission owning subsidiaries’ compliance filings related to PJM and SPP, respectively.

As a result of the June 2025 FERC orders, the Registrants recognized revenues, with interest, attributable to accelerated depreciation-related NOLCs included in transmission formula rates for years 2021 through 2025 and reduced Excess ADIT regulatory liabilities. Increases in affiliated transmission expense, which correspond to affiliated transmission revenues recognized, were deferred as an increase to regulatory assets or a reduction to regulatory liabilities on the balance sheets where management expects that expense would be collected from retail customers through authorized retail jurisdiction rider mechanisms. The table below summarizes the impact to the statements of income recorded by the Registrants in the second quarter of 2025:

FERC 2025 PJM Transmission Formula Rate Challenge (Applies to AEP, AEPTCo, APCo, I&M and OPCo)

In March 2026, an intervenor filed a formal challenge and complaint regarding the NOLC adjustments in the 2025 annual update covering the transmission formula rates for 2024 in PJM. In July 2026, the FERC rejected and denied the formal challenge and complaint. In August 2026, the intervenor filed a request for rehearing of the FERC’s July 2026 rejection and denial. In September 2026, the FERC issued a notice of denial of the request for rehearing by operation of law, providing the FERC with additional time to consider and decide on the merits of the request.

Transmission Agreement Cost Allocation Complaint (Applies to AEP, APCo, I&M and OPCo)

In March 2025, the KPSC and the Attorney General of Kentucky filed a complaint at the FERC against AEPSC and the AEP East Companies challenging the manner in which costs are allocated for local transmission projects pursuant to the TA. The complaint contends that certain costs allocated to KPCo are unjust, unreasonable and provide no benefit to KPCo customers. The relief requested in the complaint includes requiring a revision to the TA so that the costs for local transmission projects remain exclusively with the retail distribution service territory where the project is located unless a specific project is granted approval to establish a different cost allocation by the state commissions. Various parties have filed comments and motions to intervene. In May 2025, AEP filed a motion to dismiss and answered the complaint. In November 2025, the FERC issued an order denying the KPSC and Attorney General of Kentucky complaint. In December 2025, the KPSC and Attorney General of Kentucky requested a rehearing of the November order denying the complaint. In January 2026, the FERC issued a notice of denial of the request for rehearing by operation of law, providing the FERC with additional time to consider and decide on the merits of the request. In March 2026, the FERC denied the request for rehearing on the merits of the request, continuing to find that the KPSC and Attorney General of Kentucky had not met their burden of proof. The KPSC and Attorney General of Kentucky filed a petition for review of the FERC’s orders in this matter with the United States Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit and in June 2026, filed their brief. The parties completed briefing in the appeal in the third quarter of 2026. If the FERC orders a change in the way costs are allocated pursuant to the TA, it could impact future net income, cash flows and financial condition.

FERC Audit (Applies to all Registrant Subsidiaries)

The FERC Division of Audits and Accounting initiated an audit of SWEPCo in April 2024 evaluating certain accounting and reporting requirements under various FERC regulations, including compliance with the approved terms, rates and conditions of its SPP transmission formula rate mechanism. In March 2026, the FERC issued a final audit report which included, among other things, findings and recommendations related to SWEPCo's policy for the capitalization of certain vegetation management costs.

As a result of the final audit report, beginning in the first quarter of 2026, AEP will no longer capitalize the vegetation management costs identified in the FERC finding on a prospective basis. AEP's PJM and SPP transmission formula rates will provide recovery of these costs as an expense effective with the 2026 rate year. Retail ratemaking for these costs will be determined in current or future ratemaking proceedings in each jurisdiction which may allow the continued capitalization of these costs as property, plant and equipment or deferral as regulatory assets. Management is unable to predict the outcome in any current or future ratemaking proceeding. If any refund liabilities are imposed by any retail commission or any disallowances occur, it would reduce future net income and cash flows and impact financial condition.

SWEPCo continues to hold discussions with FERC audit staff to finalize the resolution of all findings noted in the final audit report. If any refund liabilities are imposed by the FERC or any disallowances occur, it would reduce future net income and cash flows and impact financial condition for SWEPCo.

  1. COMMITMENTS, GUARANTEES AND CONTINGENCIES

The Registrants are subject to certain claims and legal actions arising in the ordinary course of business. In addition, the Registrants’ business activities are subject to extensive governmental regulation related to public health and the environment. The ultimate outcome of such pending or potential litigation against the Registrants cannot be predicted. Management accrues contingent liabilities only when management concludes that it is both probable that a liability has been incurred at the date of the financial statements and the amount of loss can be reasonably estimated. When management determines that it is not probable, but rather reasonably possible that a liability has been incurred at the date of the financial statements, management discloses such contingencies and the possible loss or range of loss if such estimate can be made. Any estimated range is based on currently available information and involves elements of judgment and significant uncertainties. Any estimated range of possible loss may not represent the maximum possible loss exposure. Circumstances change over time and actual results may vary significantly from estimates.

For current proceedings not specifically discussed below, management does not anticipate that the liabilities, if any, arising from such proceedings would have a material effect on the financial statements. The Commitments, Guarantees and Contingencies note within the 2025 Annual Report should be read in conjunction with this report.

COMMITMENTS

In June 2026, OPCo completed the transfer of its 4.3% ownership in OVEC to Parent and its 19.93% OVEC power participation entitlement to AGR. Parent remains responsible for the financial and other obligations of AGR under the intercompany power agreement. As a result, OPCo's remaining energy and capacity purchase contract commitments are immaterial.

During the third quarter of 2026, management concluded that I&M’s $782 million agreement to purchase gas- and steam-powered turbines met the definition of an unconditional purchase obligation in accordance with the accounting guidance for “Commitments.” Remaining spend on the contract is as follows: $31 million through 2026, $497 million in 2027, $145 million in 2028 and $31 million in 2030.

During the third quarter of 2026, management concluded that PSO’s $349 million agreement to purchase gas- and steam-powered turbines met the definition of an unconditional purchase obligation in accordance with the accounting guidance for “Commitments.” Remaining spend on the contract is as follows: $54 million through 2026, $129 million in 2027 and $9 million in 2028 and 2029.

GUARANTEES

Liabilities for guarantees are recorded in accordance with the accounting guidance for “Guarantees.” There is no collateral held in relation to any guarantees. In the event any guarantee is drawn, there is no recourse to third-parties unless specified below.

Letters of Credit (Applies to AEP)

Standby letters of credit are entered into with third-parties. These letters of credit are issued in the ordinary course of business and cover items such as natural gas and electricity risk management contracts, construction contracts, insurance programs, security deposits and debt service reserves.

In April 2026, AEP increased its $5 billion revolving credit facility to $6.5 billion and extended the due date from March 2029 to April 2031. Also, in April 2026, AEP increased its $1 billion revolving credit facility to $1.5 billion and extended the due date from March 2027 to April 2029. AEP may issue up to $1.2 billion as letters of credit under these revolving credit facilities on behalf of subsidiaries. As of September 30, 2026, no letters of credit were issued under either revolving credit facility.

An uncommitted facility gives the issuer of the facility the right to accept or decline each request made under the facility. AEP issues letters of credit on behalf of subsidiaries under seven uncommitted facilities totaling $850 million. The Registrants’ maximum future payments for letters of credit issued under the uncommitted facilities as of September 30, 2026 were as follows:

CompanyAmountMaturity
(in millions)
AEP$525October 2026 to September 2027

During the second quarter of 2026, AEP issued an additional $131 million of letters of credit under existing uncommitted facilities with maturity dates ranging from April 2027 to June 2027.

Indemnifications and Other Guarantees

Contracts

The Registrants enter into certain types of contracts which require indemnifications. Typically these contracts include, but are not limited to, sale agreements, lease agreements, purchase agreements and financing agreements. Generally, these agreements may include, but are not limited to, indemnifications around certain tax, contractual and environmental matters. With respect to sale agreements, exposure generally does not exceed the sale price. As of September 30, 2026, there were no material liabilities recorded for any indemnifications.

AEPSC conducts power purchase-and-sale activity on behalf of APCo, I&M, KPCo and WPCo, who are jointly and severally liable for activity conducted on their behalf. AEPSC also conducts power purchase-and-sale activity on behalf of PSO and SWEPCo, who are jointly and severally liable for activity conducted on their behalf.

Master Lease Agreements (Applies to all Registrants except AEPTCo)

The Registrants lease certain equipment under master lease agreements. Under the lease agreements, the lessor is guaranteed a residual value up to a stated percentage of the equipment cost at the end of the lease term. If the actual fair value of the leased equipment is below the guaranteed residual value at the end of the lease term, the Registrants are committed to pay the difference between the actual fair value and the residual value guarantee. Historically, at the end of the lease term the fair value has been in excess of the amount guaranteed. As of September 30, 2026, the maximum potential loss by the Registrants for these lease agreements assuming the fair value of the equipment is zero at the end of the lease term was as follows:

ENVIRONMENTAL CONTINGENCIES (Applies to all Registrants except AEPTCo)

Federal EPA’s Revised CCR Rule

In April 2024, the Federal EPA finalized revisions to the CCR Rule (Legacy CCR Rule) to expand the scope of the rule to include inactive impoundments at inactive facilities (legacy CCR surface impoundments) as well as to establish requirements for currently exempt solid waste management units that involve the direct placement of CCR on the land (CCR management units). The Federal EPA is requiring that owners and operators of legacy surface impoundments comply with all of the Legacy CCR Rule requirements applicable to CCR surface impoundments at active facilities, except for the location restrictions and liner design criteria. The rule establishes compliance deadlines for legacy surface impoundments to meet regulatory requirements, including a requirement to initiate closure by May 2028. The rule requires evaluations to be completed at both active facilities and inactive facilities with one or more legacy surface impoundments. Closure may be accomplished by applying an impermeable cover system over the CCR material (closure in place) or the CCR material may be excavated and placed in a compliant landfill (closure by removal). Groundwater monitoring and other analysis will provide additional information on the planned closure method. In the second quarter of 2024, AEP evaluated the applicability of the rule to current and former plant sites and recorded a $674 million increase in ARO, based on initial cost estimates primarily reflecting compliance with the rule through closure in place and future groundwater monitoring requirements pursuant to the Legacy CCR Rule.

As further groundwater monitoring and other analysis is performed, management expects to refine the assumptions and underlying cost estimates used in recording the ARO. These refinements may include, but are not limited to, changes in the expected method of closure, changes in estimated quantities of CCR at each site, the identification of new CCR management units, the Federal EPA revisions to the rule, among other items. These future changes could have a material impact on the ARO and materially reduce future net income and cash flows and further impact financial condition.

In January 2026, APCo received a final order from the Virginia SCC approving the recovery of $80 million of Legacy CCR Rule regulatory assets through 2041 and concurrent recovery of ongoing depreciation and accretion expenses. AEP will continue to seek cost recovery through regulated rates in other jurisdictions, including proposal of new regulatory mechanisms for cost recovery where existing mechanisms are not applicable. The rule could have an additional, material adverse impact on net income, cash flows and financial condition if AEP cannot ultimately recover these additional costs of compliance.

The Comprehensive Environmental Response Compensation and Liability Act (Superfund) and State Remediation

By-products from the generation of electricity include materials such as ash, slag, sludge, low-level radioactive waste and SNF. Coal combustion by-products, which constitute the overwhelming percentage of these materials, are typically treated and deposited in captive disposal facilities or are beneficially utilized. In addition, the generation plants and transmission and distribution facilities have used asbestos, polychlorinated biphenyls and other hazardous and non-hazardous materials. The Registrants currently incur costs to dispose of these substances safely. For remediation processes not specifically discussed, management does not anticipate that the liabilities, if any, arising from such remediation processes would have a material effect on the financial statements.

NUCLEAR CONTINGENCIES (Applies to AEP and I&M)

I&M owns and operates the Cook Plant under licenses granted by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission. I&M has a significant future financial commitment to dispose of SNF and to safely decommission and decontaminate the plant. The licenses to operate thetwo nuclear units at the Cook Plant expire in 2034 and 2037. Management has started the application process for license extensions for both units that would extend Unit 1 and Unit 2 to 2054 and 2057, respectively. The operation of a nuclear facility also involves special risks, potential liabilities and specific regulatory and safety requirements. By agreement, I&M is partially liable, together with all other electric utility companies that own nuclear generation units, for a nuclear power plant incident at any nuclear plant in the U.S. Should a nuclear incident occur at any nuclear power plant in the U.S., the resultant liability could be substantial.

OPERATIONAL CONTINGENCIES

Insurance and Potential Losses

The Registrants maintain insurance coverage normal and customary for electric utilities, subject to various deductibles. The Registrants also maintain property and casualty insurance that may cover certain physical damage or third-party injuries caused by cybersecurity incidents. Insurance coverage includes all risks of physical loss or damage to nonnuclear assets, subject to insurance policy conditions and exclusions. Covered property generally includes power plants, substations, facilities and inventories. Excluded property generally includes transmission and distribution lines, poles and towers. The insurance programs also generally provide coverage against loss arising from certain claims made by third-parties and are in excess of retentions absorbed by the Registrants. Coverage is generally provided by a combination of the protected cell of EIS and/or various industry mutual and/or commercial insurance carriers.

Some potential losses or liabilities may not be insurable or the amount of insurance carried may not be sufficient to meet potential losses and liabilities, including, but not limited to, liabilities relating to a cybersecurity incident, extreme weather, wildfire related liabilities or damage to the Cook Plant and costs of replacement power in the event of an incident at the Cook Plant. Future losses or liabilities, if they occur, which are not completely insured, unless recovered through the ratemaking process, could reduce future net income and cash flows and impact financial condition.

Claims for Indemnification Made by Owners of the Gavin Power Station (Applies to AEP)

AEP sold the Gavin Power Station to Gavin Power LLC and Lighthouse Generation LLC in 2017. Pursuant to the PSA for that transaction, AEP maintained responsibility to complete closure of the 300 acre unlined fly ash reservoir (FAR) pond in accordance with the closure plan approved by the Ohio Environmental Protection Agency and to indemnify the purchasers for that work. In July 2021, closure work was completed by AEP. In November 2022, the Federal EPA issued a final decision denying Gavin Power LLC’s requested extension to allow another pond at the Gavin Power Station, the CCR surface impoundment, to continue to receive CCR and non-CCR waste streams after April 11, 2021 until May 4, 2023 (the Gavin Denial). As part of the Gavin Denial, the Federal EPA made several assertions related to the CCR Rule, including an assertion that the closure of the FAR is noncompliant with the CCR Rule in multiple respects. The owners of the Gavin Power Station have notified AEP that they believe they are entitled to indemnification for any damages that may result from these claims, including any future enforcement or litigation resulting from any determinations of noncompliance by the Federal EPA with various aspects of the CCR Rule consistent with the Gavin Denial. The owners of the Gavin Power Station have also sought indemnification for landowner claims for property damage allegedly caused by modifications to the FAR. Management does not believe that the owners of the Gavin Power Station have any valid claim for indemnity or otherwise against AEP under the PSA. In January 2024, Gavin Power LLC filed a complaint with the United States District Court for the Southern District of Ohio, alleging various violations of the Administrative Procedure Act and asserting that the Federal EPA, through its prior inaction, has waived and is estopped from raising certain objections raised in the Gavin Denial. The complaint does not assert any claims against AEP. In August 2025, the District Court granted the Federal EPA’s Motion to Dismiss the complaint and the Court dismissed the case in December 2025. Based on the information currently available, management does not believe a loss is probable and cannot determine a range of potential losses, if any, that is reasonably possible of occurring.

Wholesale Generating Contracts (Applies to SWEPCo)

AEP’s subsidiaries within the Vertically Integrated Utilities and Generation & Marketing segments engage in generation supply contracts with certain wholesale customers as part of the normal course of business. These contracts have been entered into with various municipalities and cooperatives and are FERC-regulated, cost-based contracts. These contracts are generally formula rate mechanisms, which are trued-up to actual costs annually.

During the second quarter of 2026, SWEPCo reached agreements with certain existing wholesale customers resulting in credits to these wholesale customers. During the third quarter of 2026, an agreement was reached with the remaining wholesale customer resulting in an additional $22 million credit being recorded within revenues on the statement of income for the three months ended September 30, 2026, resulting in a total year to date accrual of $45 million. All amounts have been paid in 2026.

  1. ACQUISITIONS, DISPOSITIONS AND IMPAIRMENTS

The disclosures in this note apply to AEP unless indicated otherwise.

ACQUISITIONS

Lazbuddie Wind Energy (Applies to AEP and PSO)

In August 2026, PSO completed the acquisition of 100% of the equity interests in Lazbuddie Wind Energy, LLC, the owner of Lazbuddie Wind, a wind generation facility located in Parmer and Castro Counties, Texas. This facility, placed in service in August 2026, serves both retail and wholesale customers in Oklahoma. Oklahoma’s jurisdictional share of the Lazbuddie Wind revenue requirement, net of PTC benefit, is recoverable through existing riders until the amounts are reflected in base rates. The acquisition of Lazbuddie Wind resulted in the recognition of operating leases for easement and access rights to the land on which the facilities are located, as well as the associated ARO.

In accordance with the guidance for “Business Combinations,” management determined the acquisition of Lazbuddie Wind Energy, LLC, represented an asset acquisition. An asset acquisition is accounted for using a cost accumulation model with the cost of the acquisition allocated to the acquired assets and assumed liabilities based on their relative fair value. The table below summarizes the impact at acquisition on PSO’s balance sheets:

Plant NameStateFuel TypeNet Maximum CapacityProperty, Plant and Equipment,NetOperating Lease AssetsAsset Retirement Obligations

LazbuddieTXWind265$637$20$8

Big Sandy Peaker Plant (Applies to AEP and I&M)

In August 2026, I&M completed the acquisition of 100% of the equity interests in Big Sandy Peaker Plant, LLC, the owner of the Big Sandy Peaker Plant, a natural gas-fired, simple-cycle electric generation facility located in Kenova, West Virginia. The Big Sandy Peaker Plant began commercial operations in 2001. I&M acquired the Big Sandy Peaker Plant to provide capacity and energy to both I&M Indiana and FERC jurisdictional customers. As approved by the IURC in September 2026 and prior to incorporation into the development of Indiana base rates, I&M reflects costs associated with the Big Sandy Peaker Plant either as eligible costs for recovery through existing I&M Indiana riders or in I&M’s ongoing Indiana earnings test evaluation.

In accordance with the guidance for “Business Combinations,” management determined the acquisition of the Big Sandy Peaker Plant, LLC, represented an asset acquisition. An asset acquisition is accounted for using a cost accumulation model with the cost of the acquisition allocated to the acquired assets and assumed liabilities based on their relative fair value.

In August 2026, AGR completed the acquisition of 100% of the equity interests in Wolf Hills Energy, LLC, the owner of the Wolf Hills Energy Facility (Wolf Hills), a natural gas-fired, simple-cycle electric generation facility located in Bristol, Virginia. Wolf Hills, a competitive generation asset operating within the PJM market, began commercial operations in 2001. As AGR is not a regulated electric utility, Wolf Hills is not currently subject to regulatory rate recovery approvals.

In accordance with the guidance for “Business Combinations,” management determined the acquisition of Wolf Hills Energy, LLC, represented an asset acquisition.

This facility, placed in service in May 2026, serves both retail and wholesale customers in Virginia and West Virginia. The Virginia and West Virginia jurisdictional shares of the Grover Hill revenue requirement, net of PTC benefits, are recoverable through existing riders until the amounts are reflected in base rates. The acquisition of Grover Hill resulted in the recognition of operating leases for easement and access rights to the land on which the facility is located, as well as the associated ARO. In accordance with the guidance for “Business Combinations,” management determined the acquisition represented an asset acquisition.

Oregon Clean Energy Center (Applies to AEP and I&M)

In March 2026, I&M completed the acquisition of 100% of the equity interests in Oregon Clean Energy, LLC, the owner of the Oregon Clean Energy Center (Oregon Plant), a natural gas-powered, combined-cycle electric generation facility located in Oregon, Ohio. The Oregon Plant began commercial operations in 2017. I&M acquired the Oregon Plant to provide capacity and energy to both I&M Indiana and FERC jurisdictional customers. As approved by the IURC in November 2025 and prior to incorporation into the development of Indiana base rates, I&M reflects costs associated with the Oregon Plant either as eligible costs for recovery through existing I&M Indiana riders or in I&M’s ongoing Indiana earnings test evaluation.

In accordance with the guidance for “Business Combinations,” management determined the acquisition of the Oregon Plant represented an asset acquisition. An asset acquisition is accounted for using a cost accumulation model with the cost of the acquisition allocated to the acquired assets and assumed liabilities based on their relative fair value.

Green Country Power Plant, Pixley Solar Energy Facility, Flat Ridge IV Wind Energy Facility and Flat Ridge V Wind Energy Facility (Applies to AEP and PSO)

In May 2025, PSO acquired 100% of the equity interests in Pixley Solar Energy, LLC, the owner of the newly constructed Pixley solar energy facility in Barber County, Kansas. The Pixley facility, placed in service in May 2025, serves both retail and wholesale customers in Oklahoma. PSO’s revenue requirement is recoverable through an authorized rider until it is incorporated into base rates. Regulatory approval of Pixley’s output in retail rates included capital cost, performance and other guarantees, which may subject PSO to future regulatory liabilities. In June 2025, PSO also acquired 100% of the equity interests in Flat Ridge IV Wind, LLC, the owner of the newly constructed Flat Ridge IV Wind Energy Facility located in Kingman and Harper Counties, Kansas. This facility, also placed in service in June 2025, serves both retail and wholesale customers under similar recovery and regulatory provisions as the Pixley facility. The acquisitions of Pixley and Flat Ridge IV also resulted in the recognition of operating leases for easement and access rights to the land on which the facilities are located, as well as the associated ARO. In accordance with the guidance for “Business Combinations,” management determined the acquisitions of Pixley and Flat Ridge IV represented asset acquisitions.

Additionally, in June 2025, PSO completed the acquisition of 100% of the equity interests in Green Country Energy, LLC, the owner of a combined-cycle natural gas facility located in Jenks, Oklahoma, following approvals from both the FERC and the OCC. The transaction included the acquisition of a previously executed capacity sales agreement between Green Country Energy, LLC, as seller, and SWEPCo, as purchaser. Since July 2025, PSO sells a portion of Green Country’s capacity to SWEPCo, and this arrangement will continue through May 2027, when the agreement ends. The acquisition also resulted in the extinguishment of a previously executed capacity sales agreement between Green Country Energy, LLC, as seller, and PSO, as purchaser. In accordance with the guidance for “Business Combinations,” management determined the acquisition of Green Country represented an asset acquisition. Asset acquisitions are accounted for using a cost accumulation model, with the cost of the acquisition allocated to the acquired assets and assumed liabilities based on their relative fair value. The liabilities recognized for the capacity sales agreements will reduce PSO’s revenue requirement to recover its overall investment in Green Country, which is recoverable through a rider authorized by the OCC until it is included in base rates for the depreciable life of the facility. Management elected the income approach for its nonrecurring valuation of both the intangible liability and regulatory liability. Specifically, management applied a discounted cash flow model based on a forward market price assumption.

Furthermore, in August 2025, PSO completed the acquisition of 100% of the equity interests in Flat Ridge V Wind Energy, LLC, the owner of the Flat Ridge V Wind Energy Facility located in Kingman and Harper Counties, Kansas. This facility, placed in service in August 2025, serves both retail and wholesale customers under similar recovery and regulatory provisions as the Flat Ridge IV and Pixley facilities. The acquisition of Flat Ridge V also resulted in the recognition of operating leases for easement and access rights to the land on which the facilities are located, as well as the associated ARO. In accordance with the guidance for “Business Combinations,” management determined the acquisition of Flat Ridge V represented an asset acquisition.

In 2025, PSO expanded its generation portfolio by acquiring four electric generation facilities for an aggregate purchase price of $1.7 billion. The table below summarizes the impact at acquisition on PSO’s balance sheets:

  1. BUSINESS SEGMENTS

AEP’s Reportable Segments

AEP’s primary business is the generation, transmission and distribution of electricity. Within its Vertically Integrated Utilities segment, AEP centrally dispatches generation assets and manages its overall utility operations on an integrated basis because of the substantial impact of cost-based rates and regulatory oversight applicable to each public utility subsidiary. Intersegment sales and transfers are generally based on underlying contractual arrangements and agreements.

The CODM of AEP is the President and CEO of AEP, whomakes operating decisions, allocates resources to and assesses performance based on these reportable segments. The CODM uses earnings (loss) attributable to AEP common shareholders (presented on a GAAP basis) as a measure of segment profit or loss in making these decisions. Earnings (loss) attributable to AEP common shareholders includes intercompany revenues and expenses that are eliminated on the consolidated financial statements.

AEP’s reportable segments and their related business activities are outlined below:

Vertically Integrated Utilities

Generation, transmission and distribution of electricity for sale to retail and wholesale customers through assets owned and operated by AEGCo, APCo, I&M, KGPCo, KPCo, PSO, SWEPCo and WPCo.

Transmission and Distribution Utilities

Transmission and distribution of electricity for sale to retail and wholesale customers through assets owned and operated by AEP Texas and OPCo.

OPCo purchases energy and capacity to serve standard service offer customers and provides transmission and distribution services for all connected load.

AEP Transmission Holdco

Development, construction and operation of transmission facilities through investments in AEPTCo. These investments have FERC-approved ROEs.

Development, construction and operation of transmission facilities through investments in AEP’s transmission-only joint ventures. These investments have PUCT-approved ROEs, FERC-approved ROEs or are engaged in settlement proceedings at the FERC to establish an authorized ROE.

Generation & Marketing

Marketing, risk management and retail activities in ERCOT, MISO, PJM and SPP.

Registrant Subsidiaries’ Reportable Segments (Applies to all Registrant Subsidiaries except AEPTCo)

The Registrant Subsidiaries each haveone reportable segment, an integrated electricity generation, transmission and distribution business for APCo, I&M, PSO and SWEPCo, and an integrated electricity transmission and distribution business for AEP Texas and OPCo. Other activities are insignificant. The Registrant Subsidiaries’ operations are managed on an integrated basis because of the substantial impact of cost-based rates and regulatory oversight on the business process, cost structures and operating results. The CODM of each Registrant Subsidiary is the AEP President and CEO, who makes operating decisions, allocates resources to and assesses performance based on these reportable segments. The CODM uses earnings (loss) attributable to common shareholders and net income (loss) that is reported on the Registrant Subsidiaries’ statements of income as a measure of segment profit or loss in making these decisions. Earnings (loss) attributable to common shareholders and net income (loss) include intercompany revenues and expenses that are eliminated on the consolidated financial statements. The expenses disclosed on the Registrant Subsidiaries’ statements of income align with the segment-level significant expenses that are regularly provided to the CODM. Total Assets is reported on the consolidated financial statements. Gross Property Additions for the Registrant Subsidiaries is represented by the sum of Construction Expenditures and Acquisition of Assets on the consolidated financial statements. See Registrant Subsidiaries statements of income, balance sheets and cash flows for details.

AEPTCo’s Reportable Segments

AEPTCo Parent is the holding company ofseven FERC-regulated transmission-only electric utilities. Theseven State Transcos have been identified as operating segments of AEPTCo under the accounting guidance for “Segment Reporting.” The State Transcos’ business consists of developing, constructing and operating transmission facilities at the request of the RTOs in which they operate and in replacing and upgrading facilities, assets and components of the existing AEP transmission system as needed to maintain reliability standards and provide service to AEP’s wholesale and retail customers. The State Transcos are regulated for ratemaking purposes exclusively by the FERC and earn revenues through tariff rates charged for the use of their electric transmission systems.

The CODM of AEPTCo is the AEP President and CEO, who makes operating decisions, allocates resources to and assesses performance based on these operating segments. The CODM uses earnings (loss) attributable to AEPTCo common shareholders (presented on a GAAP basis) as a measure of segment profit or loss in making these decisions. Earnings (loss) attributable to AEPTCo common shareholders includes intercompany revenues and expenses that are eliminated on the consolidated financial statements. The State Transcos operating segments all have similar economic characteristics and meet all of the criteria under the accounting guidance for “Segment Reporting” to be aggregated intoone reportable segment. As a result, AEPTCo hasone reportable segment. The remainder of AEPTCo’s activity is presented in AEPTCo Parent. While not considered a reportable segment, AEPTCo Parent represents the activity of the holding company which primarily relates to debt financing activity and general corporate activities.

The tables below present AEPTCo’s reportable segment income statement information for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025 and reportable segment balance sheet information as of September 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025.

  1. DERIVATIVES AND HEDGING

The disclosures in this note apply to all Registrants unless indicated otherwise. For the periods presented, AEPTCo did not have any derivative and hedging activity.

OBJECTIVES FOR UTILIZATION OF DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS

AEPSC is agent for and transacts on behalf of certain AEP subsidiaries, including the Registrant Subsidiaries. AEPEP is agent for and transacts on behalf of other AEP subsidiaries.

The Registrants are exposed to certain market risks as major power producers and participants in the electricity, capacity, natural gas, coal and emission allowance markets. These risks include commodity price risks which may be subject to capacity risk, interest rate risk and credit risk. These risks represent the risk of loss that may impact the Registrants due to changes in the underlying market prices or rates. Management utilizes derivative instruments to manage these risks.

STRATEGIES FOR UTILIZATION OF DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS TO ACHIEVE OBJECTIVES

Risk Management Strategies

The strategy surrounding the use of derivative instruments primarily focuses on managing risk exposures, future cash flows and creating value utilizing both economic and formal hedging strategies. The risk management strategies also include the use of derivative instruments for trading purposes which focus on seizing market opportunities to create value driven by expected changes in the market prices of the commodities. To accomplish these objectives, the Registrants primarily employ risk management contracts including physical and financial forward purchase-and-sale contracts and, to a lesser extent, OTC swaps and options. Not all risk management contracts meet the definition of a derivative under the accounting guidance for “Derivatives and Hedging.” Derivative risk management contracts elected normal under the normal purchases and normal sales scope exception are not subject to the requirements of this accounting guidance.

The Registrants utilize power, capacity, coal, natural gas, interest rate and, to a lesser extent, heating oil, gasoline and other commodity contracts to manage the risk associated with the energy business. The Registrants utilize interest rate derivative contracts in order to manage the interest rate exposure associated with the commodity portfolio. For disclosure purposes, such risks are grouped as “Commodity,” as these risks are related to energy risk management activities. The Registrants also utilize derivative contracts to manage interest rate risk associated with debt financing. For disclosure purposes, these risks are grouped as “Interest Rate.” The amount of risk taken is determined by the Commercial Operations, Energy Supply and Finance groups in accordance with established risk management policies as approved by the Finance Committee of the Board of Directors of AEP.

The following table represents the gross notional volume of the Registrants’ outstanding derivative contracts:

Fair Value Hedging Strategies (Applies to AEP)

Parent enters into interest rate derivative transactions as part of an overall strategy to manage the mix of fixed-rate and floating-rate debt. Certain interest rate derivative transactions effectively modify exposure to interest rate risk by converting a portion of fixed-rate debt to a floating-rate. Provided specific criteria are met, these interest rate derivatives may be designated as fair value hedges.

Cash Flow Hedging Strategies

The Registrants utilize cash flow hedges on certain derivative transactions for the purchase and sale of power (“Commodity”) in order to manage the variable price risk related to forecasted purchases and sales. Management monitors the potential impacts of commodity price changes and, where appropriate, enters into derivative transactions to protect profit margins for a portion of future electricity sales and purchases. The Registrants do not hedge all commodity price risks.

The Registrants utilize a variety of interest rate derivative transactions in order to manage interest rate risk exposure. The Registrants also utilize interest rate derivative contracts to manage interest rate exposure related to future borrowings of fixed-rate debt. The Registrants do not hedge all interest rate exposure.

ACCOUNTING FOR DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND THE IMPACT ON THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The accounting guidance for “Derivatives and Hedging” requires recognition of all qualifying derivative instruments as either assets or liabilities on the balance sheets at fair value. The fair values of derivative instruments accounted for using MTM accounting or hedge accounting are based on exchange prices and broker quotes. If a quoted market price is not available, the estimate of fair value is based on the best information available including valuation models that estimate future energy prices based on existing market and broker quotes and other assumptions. In order to determine the relevant fair values of the derivative instruments, the Registrants apply valuation adjustments for discounting, liquidity and credit quality.

Credit risk is the risk that a counterparty will fail to perform on the contract or fail to pay amounts due. Liquidity risk represents the risk that imperfections in the market will cause the price to vary from estimated fair value based upon prevailing market supply and demand conditions. Since energy markets are imperfect and volatile, there are inherent risks related to the underlying assumptions in models used to fair value risk management contracts. Unforeseen events may cause reasonable price curves to differ from actual price curves throughout a contract’s term and at the time a contract settles. Consequently, there could be significant adverse or favorable effects on future net income and cash flows if market prices are not consistent with management’s estimates of current market consensus for forward prices in the current period. This is particularly true for longer term contracts. Cash flows may vary based on market conditions, margin requirements and the timing of settlement of risk management contracts.

According to the accounting guidance for “Derivatives and Hedging,” the Registrants reflect the fair values of derivative instruments subject to netting agreements with the same counterparty net of related cash collateral. For certain risk management contracts, the Registrants are required to post or receive cash collateral based on third-party contractual agreements and risk profiles. AEP netted cash collateral received from third-parties against short-term and long-term risk management assets in the amounts of $116 million and $83 million as of September 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively. The amount of cash collateral received from third-parties netted against short-term and long-term risk management assets was not material for the Registrant Subsidiaries as of September 30, 2026. There was no cash collateral received from third-parties netted against short-term and long-term risk management assets for the Registrant Subsidiaries as of December 31, 2025. The amount of cash collateral paid to third-parties netted against short-term and long-term risk management liabilities was not material for the Registrants as of September 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025.

Location and Fair Value of Derivative Assets and Liabilities Recognized On the Balance Sheet

The following tables represent the gross fair value of the Registrants’ derivative activity on the balance sheets. The derivative instruments are disclosed as gross. They are subject to master netting agreements and are presented on the balance sheets on a net basis in accordance with the accounting guidance for “Derivatives and Hedging.” Unless shown as a separate line on the balance sheets due to materiality, Current Risk Management Assets are included in Prepayments and Other Current Assets, Long-term Risk Management Assets are included in Deferred Charges and Other Noncurrent Assets, Current Risk Management Liabilities are included in Other Current Liabilities and Long-term Risk Management Liabilities are included in Deferred Credits and Other Noncurrent Liabilities on the balance sheets.

(a)Represents realized and unrealized gains and losses subject to regulatory accounting treatment recorded as either current or noncurrent on the balance sheets.

Certain qualifying derivative instruments have been designated as normal purchase or normal sale contracts, as provided in the accounting guidance for “Derivatives and Hedging.” Derivative contracts that have been designated as normal purchases or normal sales under that accounting guidance are not subject to MTM accounting treatment and are recognized on the statements of income on an accrual basis.

The accounting for the changes in the fair value of a derivative instrument depends on whether it qualifies for and has been designated as part of a hedging relationship and further, on the type of hedging relationship. Depending on the exposure, management designates a hedging instrument as a fair value hedge or a cash flow hedge.

For contracts that have not been designated as part of a hedging relationship, the accounting for changes in fair value depends on whether the derivative instrument is held for trading purposes. Unrealized and realized gains and losses on derivative instruments held for trading purposes are included in revenues on a net basis on the statements of income. Unrealized and realized gains and losses on derivative instruments not held for trading purposes are included in revenues or expenses on the statements of income depending on the relevant facts and circumstances. Certain derivatives that economically hedge future commodity risk are recorded in the same line item on the statements of income as that of the associated risk being hedged. However, unrealized and some realized gains and losses in regulated jurisdictions for both trading and non-trading derivative instruments are recorded as regulatory assets (for losses) or regulatory liabilities (for gains) in accordance with the accounting guidance for “Regulated Operations.”

Accounting for Fair Value Hedging Strategies (Applies to AEP)

For fair value hedges (i.e., hedging the exposure to changes in the fair value of an asset, liability or an identified portion thereof attributable to a particular risk), the gain or loss on the derivative instrument as well as the offsetting gain or loss on the hedged item associated with the hedged risk impacts net income during the period of change.

AEP records realized and unrealized gains or losses on interest rate swaps that are designated and qualify for fair value hedge accounting treatment and any offsetting changes in the fair value of the debt being hedged in Interest Expense on the statements of income.

The following table shows the impacts recognized on the balance sheets related to the hedged items in fair value hedging relationships:

Accounting for Cash Flow Hedging Strategies (Applies to AEP, AEP Texas, APCo, I&M, PSO and SWEPCo)

For cash flow hedges (i.e. hedging the exposure to variability in expected future cash flows that is attributable to a particular risk), the Registrants initially report the gain or loss on the derivative instrument as a component of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss) on the balance sheets until the period the hedged item affects net income.

Realized gains and losses on derivative contracts for the purchase and sale of power designated as cash flow hedges are included in Total Revenues or Purchased Electricity, Fuel and Other Consumables Used for Electric Generation on the statements of income or in Regulatory Assets or Regulatory Liabilities on the balance sheets, depending on the specific nature of the risk being hedged. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025, AEP applied cash flow hedging to outstanding power derivatives and the Registrant Subsidiaries did not.

The Registrants reclassify gains and losses on interest rate derivative hedges related to debt financings from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss) on the balance sheets into Interest Expense on the statements of income in those periods in which hedged interest payments occur. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026, SWEPCo applied cash flow hedging to outstanding interest rate derivatives and the other Registrant Subsidiaries did not. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, the Registrants did not apply cash flow hedging to outstanding interest rate derivatives.

For details on effective cash flow hedges included in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss) on the balance sheets and the reasons for changes in cash flow hedges, see Note 3 - Comprehensive Income.

Cash flow hedges included in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss) on the balance sheets were:

As of September 30, 2026, the maximum length of time that AEP is hedging its exposure to variability in future cash flows related to forecasted transactions is approximately 9 years.

The actual amounts reclassified from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss) to Net Income can differ from the estimate above due to market price changes.

Credit Risk

Management mitigates credit risk in wholesale marketing and trading activities by assessing the creditworthiness of potential counterparties before entering into transactions with them and continuing to evaluate their creditworthiness on an ongoing basis. Management uses credit agency ratings and current market-based qualitative and quantitative data as well as financial statements to assess the financial health of counterparties on an ongoing basis.

Master agreements are typically used to facilitate the netting of cash flows associated with a single counterparty and may include collateral requirements. Collateral requirements in the form of cash, letters of credit and parental/affiliate guarantees may be obtained as security from counterparties in order to mitigate credit risk. Some master agreements include margining, which requires a counterparty to post cash or letters of credit in the event exposure exceeds the established threshold. The threshold represents an unsecured credit limit which may be supported by a parental/affiliate guaranty, as determined in accordance with AEP’s credit policy. In addition, master agreements allow for termination and liquidation of all positions in the event of a default including a failure or inability to post collateral when required.

Credit-Risk-Related Contingent Features

Credit Downgrade Triggers (Applies to AEP)

A limited number of derivative contracts include collateral triggering events, which include a requirement to maintain certain credit ratings. On an ongoing basis, AEP’s risk management organization assesses the appropriateness of these collateral triggering events in contracts. The Registrants have not experienced a downgrade below a specified credit rating threshold that would require the posting of additional collateral. The total exposure of AEP’s derivative contracts with collateral triggering events in a net liability position was immaterial as of September 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025. The Registrant Subsidiaries had no derivative contracts with collateral triggering events in a net liability position as of September 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025.

Cross-Acceleration Triggers (Applies to AEP)

Certain interest rate derivative contracts contain cross-acceleration provisions that, if triggered, would permit the counterparty to declare a default and require settlement of the outstanding payable. These cross-acceleration provisions could be triggered if there was a non-performance event by the Registrants under any of their outstanding debt of at least $50 million and the lender on that debt has accelerated the entire repayment obligation. On an ongoing basis, AEP’s risk management organization assesses the appropriateness of these cross-acceleration provisions in contracts. AEP had derivative contracts with cross-acceleration provisions in a net liability position of $30 million and $30 million as of September 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively. There was no cash collateral posted as of September 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively. If a cross-acceleration provision would have been triggered, settlement at fair value would have been required. The Registrant Subsidiaries had no derivative contracts with cross-acceleration provisions outstanding as of September 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025.

Cross-Default Triggers (Applies to AEP, APCo, I&M, PSO and SWEPCo)

In addition, a majority of non-exchange traded commodity contracts contain cross-default provisions that, if triggered, would permit the counterparty to declare a default and require settlement of the outstanding payable. These cross-default provisions could be triggered if there was a non-performance event by Parent or the obligor under outstanding debt or a third-party obligation that is $50 million or greater. On an ongoing basis, AEP’s risk management organization assesses the appropriateness of these cross-default provisions in the contracts. AEP had derivative contracts with cross-default provisions in a net liability position of $207 million and $183 million and no cash collateral posted as of September 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively, after considering contractual netting arrangements. APCo, I&M, PSO and SWEPCo had derivative contracts with cross-default provisions in a net liability position of $15 million, $1 million, $31 million and $10 million, respectively, and no cash collateral posted as of September 30, 2026. APCo, PSO and SWEPCo had derivative contracts with cross-default provisions in a net liability position of $2 million, $27 million and $10 million, respectively, and no cash collateral posted as of December 31, 2025. If a cross-default provision would have been triggered, settlement at fair value would have been required. The other Registrant Subsidiaries had immaterial derivative contracts with cross-default provisions in a net liability position as of September 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025.

  1. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

The disclosures in this note apply to all Registrants except AEPTCo unless indicated otherwise.

Fair Value Hierarchy and Valuation Techniques

The accounting guidance for “Fair Value Measurement” establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurement) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurement). Where observable inputs are available for substantially the full term of the asset or liability, the instrument is categorized in Level 2. When quoted market prices are not available, pricing may be completed using comparable securities, dealer values, operating data and general market conditions to determine fair value. Valuation models utilize various inputs such as commodity, interest rate and, to a lesser degree, volatility and credit that include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in inactive markets, market corroborated inputs (i.e. inputs derived principally from, or correlated to, observable market data) and other observable inputs for the asset or liability.

For commercial activities, exchange-traded derivatives, namely futures contracts, are generally fair valued based on unadjusted quoted prices in active markets and are classified as Level 1. Level 2 inputs primarily consist of OTC broker quotes in moderately active or less active markets, as well as exchange-traded derivatives where there is insufficient market liquidity to warrant inclusion in Level 1. Management verifies price curves using these broker quotes and classifies these fair values within Level 2 when substantially all of the fair value can be corroborated. Management typically obtains multiple broker quotes, which are nonbinding in nature but are based on recent trades in the marketplace. When multiple broker quotes are obtained, the quoted bid and ask prices are averaged. In certain circumstances, a broker quote may be discarded if it is a clear outlier. Management uses a historical correlation analysis between the broker quoted location and the illiquid locations. If the points are highly correlated, these locations are included within Level 2 as well. Certain OTC and bilaterally executed derivative instruments are executed in less active markets with a lower availability of pricing information. Illiquid transactions, complex structured transactions, FTRs and counterparty credit risk may require nonmarket-based inputs. Some of these inputs may be internally developed or extrapolated and utilized to estimate fair value. When such inputs have a significant impact on the measurement of fair value, the instrument is categorized as Level 3. The main driver of contracts being classified as Level 3 is the inability to substantiate energy price curves in the market. A portion of the Level 3 instruments have been economically hedged which limits potential earnings volatility.

AEP utilizes its trustee’s external pricing service to estimate the fair value of the underlying investments held in the nuclear trusts. AEP’s investment managers review and validate the prices utilized by the trustee to determine fair value. AEP’s management performs its own valuation testing to verify the fair values of the securities. AEP receives audit reports of the trustee’s operating controls and valuation processes.

Assets in the nuclear trusts, cash and cash equivalents, other temporary investments and restricted cash for securitized funding are classified using the following methods. Equities are classified as Level 1 holdings if they are actively traded on exchanges. Items classified as Level 1 are investments in money market funds, fixed income and equity mutual funds and equity securities. They are valued based on observable inputs, primarily unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets. Items classified as Level 2 are primarily investments in individual fixed income securities. Fixed income securities generally do not trade on exchanges and do not have an official closing price but their valuation inputs are based on observable market data. Pricing vendors calculate bond valuations using financial models and matrices. The models use observable inputs including yields on benchmark securities, quotes by securities brokers, rating agency actions, discounts or premiums on securities compared to par prices, changes in yields for U.S. Treasury securities, corporate actions by bond issuers, prepayment schedules and histories, economic events and, for certain securities, adjustments to yields to reflect changes in the rate of inflation. Other securities with model-derived valuation inputs that are observable are also classified as Level 2 investments. Investments with unobservable valuation inputs are classified as Level 3 investments.

Fair Value Measurements of Long-term Debt (Applies to all Registrants)

The fair values of Long-term Debt are based on quoted market prices, without credit enhancements, for the same or similar issues and the current interest rates offered for instruments with similar maturities classified as Level 2 measurement inputs. These instruments are not marked-to-market. The estimates presented are not necessarily indicative of the amounts that could be realized in a current market exchange.

Fair Value Measurements of Trust Assets for Decommissioning and SNF Disposal (Applies to AEP and I&M)

Nuclear decommissioning and SNF trust funds represent funds that regulatory commissions allow I&M to collect through rates to fund future decommissioning and SNF disposal liabilities. By rules or orders, the IURC, the MPSC and the FERC established investment limitations and general risk management guidelines. In general, limitations include:

Acceptable investments (rated investment grade or above when purchased).

Maximum percentage invested in a specific type of investment.

Prohibition of investment in obligations of AEP, I&M or their affiliates.

Withdrawals permitted only for payment of decommissioning costs and trust expenses.

I&M maintains trust funds for each regulatory jurisdiction. Regulatory approval is required to withdraw decommissioning funds. These funds are managed by an external investment manager that must comply with the guidelines and rules of the applicable regulatory authorities. The trust assets are invested to optimize the net of tax earnings of the trust giving consideration to liquidity, risk, diversification and other prudent investment objectives.

I&M records securities held in these trust funds in Spent Nuclear Fuel and Decommissioning Trusts on its balance sheets. I&M records these securities at fair value. I&M classifies debt securities in the trust funds as available-for-sale due to their long-term purpose.

Other-than-temporary impairments for investments in debt securities are considered realized losses as a result of securities being managed by an external investment management firm. The external investment management firm makes specific investment decisions regarding the debt and equity investments held in these trusts and generally intends to sell debt securities in an unrealized loss position as part of a tax optimization strategy. Impairments reduce the cost basis of the securities which will affect any future unrealized gain or realized gain or loss due to the adjusted cost of investment. I&M records unrealized gains, unrealized losses and other-than-temporary impairments from securities in these trust funds as adjustments to the regulatory liability account for the nuclear decommissioning trust funds and to regulatory assets or liabilities for the SNF disposal trust funds in accordance with their treatment in rates. Consequently, changes in fair value of trust assets do not affect earnings or AOCI.

Fair Value Measurements of Financial Assets and Liabilities

The following tables set forth, by level within the fair value hierarchy, the Registrants’ financial assets and liabilities that were accounted for at fair value on a recurring basis. As required by the accounting guidance for “Fair Value Measurement,” financial assets and liabilities are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Management’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement requires judgment and may affect the valuation of fair value assets and liabilities and their placement within the fair value hierarchy levels. There have not been any significant changes in management’s valuation techniques.

Federal and State Income Tax Audit Status

The statute of limitations (SOL) for the IRS to examine AEP and subsidiaries’ originally filed federal income tax returns has expired for tax years prior to 2023. In July 2026, AEP received notification that its 2023 federal income tax return would no longer be audited and only remains open for potential items identified in subsequent year exams. In the second quarter of 2026, AEP received notification that its 2024 federal income tax return was selected for IRS examination. That examination began in July 2026.

AEP and subsidiaries file income tax returns in various state and local jurisdictions. AEP and subsidiaries are not currently under any state and local income tax examinations. Generally, the SOL have expired for tax years prior to 2023. In addition, management is monitoring and continues to evaluate the potential impact of federal legislation and corresponding state conformity.

Federal Legislation

On July 4, 2025, President Trump signed H.R. 1 into law, commonly known as the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBBA). This budget reconciliation legislation modifies and accelerates the phase out of technology neutral PTCs and ITCs available for wind and solar projects, adds new restrictions to guard against certain foreign ownership, influence or assistance with respect to otherwise credit-eligible projects and makes 100% bonus depreciation permanent for certain non-regulated entities. With the exception of bonus depreciation, this legislation is not expected to have a material impact on the Registrants.

On August 15, 2025, the Department of Treasury and the IRS issued new and revised wind and solar tax credit guidance, Notice 2025-42, which modified the definition of “begin construction” for tax purposes by eliminating the previously available 5% cost safe harbor standard for projects that begin construction after September 1, 2025. Notice 2025-42 was vacated in Oregon Environmental Council v. IRS, No. CV-25-4400 (D.D.C. June 6, 2026), which restored the availability of the 5% safe harbor. There is, however, uncertainty as to whether a court would overturn the ruling on appeal. Neither the ruling nor any related subsequent decision is expected to have a material impact on the Registrants.

On February 18, 2026, the Department of Treasury and the IRS issued additional interim guidance on the application of CAMT, Notice 2026-7. This guidance allows taxpayers to deduct certain tax-deductible repairs when determining adjusted financial statement income for CAMT purposes. This guidance is expected to result in a reduction to applicable Registrants’ prior and future CAMT liabilities.

Additional significant guidance from the Department of Treasury and the IRS is expected on the tax provisions in recently enacted legislation. AEP will continue to monitor any issued guidance and evaluate the impact on AEP’s future net income, cash flows and financial condition.

  1. FINANCING ACTIVITIES

The disclosures in this note apply to all Registrants, unless indicated otherwise.

Common Stock (Applies to AEP)

ATM Program

In November 2025, AEP filed a prospectus supplement under which it may sell up to $3.5 billion of its common stock through an ATM program. In first quarter 2026, two million shares of common stock were issued for $264 million in net proceeds. In addition to these issuances and sales of shares of common stock, AEP also may use the ATM program to enter into forward sale agreements. See below for information regarding shares issued or expected to be issued under forward sale agreements.

Forward Equity Agreements

AEP has entered into the following forward sales under its ATM program and its March 2025 and May 2026 forward sale of equity agreements as follows:

Final MaturityCommon Shares into Forward (Number of Shares)Settled (Number of Shares) (a)Net Proceeds from Settlement (a)Common Shares Remaining in Forward (Number of Shares)Expected Proceeds (b)

In October 2026, AEPTCo issued $270 million of variable rate Other Long-term Debt due in 2028.

In October 2026, I&M issued $110 million of 5.51% Notes Payable due in 2031.

In October 2026, I&M retired $7 million of Notes Payable related to DCC Fuel.

Debt Covenants (Applies to AEP and AEPTCo)

Covenants in AEPTCo’s note purchase agreements and indenture limit the amount of contractually-defined priority debt (which includes a further sub-limit of $50 million of secured debt) to 10% of consolidated tangible net assets. AEPTCo’s contractually-defined priority debt was 1.4% of consolidated tangible net assets as of September 30, 2026. The method for calculating the consolidated tangible net assets is contractually-defined in the note purchase agreements.

Dividend Restrictions

Subsidiary Restrictions

Parent depends on its subsidiaries to pay dividends to shareholders. AEP subsidiaries pay dividends to Parent provided funds are legally available. Various financing arrangements and regulatory requirements may impose certain restrictions on the ability of the subsidiaries to transfer funds to Parent in the form of dividends.

All of the dividends declared by AEP’s utility subsidiaries that provide transmission or local distribution services are subject to a Federal Power Act requirement that prohibits the payment of dividends out of capital accounts in certain circumstances; payment of dividends is generally allowed out of retained earnings. The Federal Power Act also creates a reserve on earnings attributable to hydroelectric generation plants. Because of their ownership of such plants, this reserve applies to APCo and I&M.

Certain AEP subsidiaries have credit agreements that contain covenants that limit their debt to capitalization ratio to 67.5%. The method for calculating outstanding debt and capitalization is contractually-defined in the credit agreements.

The Federal Power Act restriction does not limit the ability of the AEP subsidiaries to pay dividends out of retained earnings.

Parent Restrictions (Applies to AEP)

The holders of AEP’s common stock are entitled to receive the dividends declared by the Board of Directors provided funds are legally available for such dividends. Parent’s income primarily derives from common stock equity in the earnings of its utility subsidiaries.

Pursuant to the leverage restrictions in credit agreements, AEP must maintain a percentage of debt to total capitalization at a level that does not exceed 67.5%. The method for calculating outstanding debt and capitalization is contractually-defined in the credit agreements.

Corporate Borrowing Program (Applies to all Registrant Subsidiaries)

AEP subsidiaries use a corporate borrowing program to meet their short-term borrowing needs. The corporate borrowing program includes a Utility Money Pool, which funds AEP’s utility subsidiaries; a Nonutility Money Pool, which funds certain AEP nonutility subsidiaries; and direct borrowing from AEP. The AEP Utility Money Pool operates in accordance with the terms and conditions of its agreement filed with the FERC. The amounts of outstanding loans to (borrowings from) the Utility Money Pool as of September 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025 are included in Advances to Affiliates and Advances from Affiliates, respectively, on the Registrant Subsidiaries’ balance sheets. The Utility Money Pool participants’ money pool activity and corresponding authorized borrowing limits for the nine months ended September 30, 2026 are described in the following table:

Securitized Accounts Receivables – AEP Credit (Applies to AEP)

AEP Credit has a receivables securitization agreement with bank conduits. Under the securitization agreement, AEP Credit receives financing from the bank conduits for the interest in the receivables AEP Credit acquires from affiliated utility subsidiaries. These securitized transactions allow AEP Credit to repay its outstanding debt obligations, continue to purchase the operating companies’ receivables and accelerate AEP Credit’s cash collections.

AEP Credit’s receivables securitization agreement provides a commitment of $900 million from bank conduits to purchase receivables and expires in September 2028. As of September 30, 2026, the affiliated utility subsidiaries were in compliance with all requirements under the agreement.

Securitized Accounts Receivables – AEP Credit (Applies to all Registrant Subsidiaries except AEP Texas and AEPTCo)

Under this sale of receivables arrangement, the Registrant Subsidiaries sell, without recourse, certain of their customer accounts receivable and accrued unbilled revenue balances to AEP Credit and are charged a fee based on AEP Credit’s financing costs, administrative costs and uncollectible accounts experience for each Registrant Subsidiary’s receivables. APCo does not have regulatory authority to sell its West Virginia accounts receivable. The costs of customer accounts receivable sold are reported in Other Operation expense on the Registrant Subsidiaries’ statements of income. The Registrant Subsidiaries manage and service their customer accounts receivable, which are sold to AEP Credit. AEP Credit securitizes the eligible receivables for the operating companies and retains the remainder.

  1. VARIABLE INTEREST ENTITIES AND EQUITY METHOD INVESTMENTS

The accounting guidance for “Variable Interest Entities” is a consolidation model that considers if a company has a variable interest in a VIE. A VIE is a legal entity that possesses any of the following conditions: the entity’s equity at risk is not sufficient to permit the legal entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support, equity owners are unable to direct the activities that most significantly impact the legal entity’s economic performance (or they possess disproportionate voting rights in relation to the economic interest in the legal entity), or the equity owners lack the obligation to absorb the legal entity’s expected losses or the right to receive the legal entity’s expected residual returns. Entities are required to consolidate a VIE when it is determined that they have a controlling financial interest in a VIE and therefore, are the primary beneficiary of that VIE, as defined by the accounting guidance for “Variable Interest Entities.” In determining whether AEP is the primary beneficiary of a VIE, management considers whether AEP has the power to direct the most significant activities of the VIE and is obligated to absorb losses or receive the expected residual returns that are significant to the VIE. Management believes that significant assumptions and judgments were applied consistently.

AEP holds ownership interests in businesses with varying ownership structures. Partnership interests and other variable interests are evaluated to determine if each entity is a VIE, and if so, whether or not the VIE should be consolidated into AEP’s financial statements. AEP has not provided material financial or other support that was not previously contractually required to any of its consolidated VIEs. AEP’s interests in non-consolidated VIEs are accounted for under the equity method of accounting.

Consolidated Variable Interest Entities

Appalachian Recovery Funding (Applies to AEP and APCo)

In May 2026, Appalachian Recovery Funding was formed for the sole purpose of issuing and servicing securitization bonds primarily related to certain Virginia jurisdictional Property, Plant and Equipment balances for the Amos and Mountaineer Plants and certain Virginia jurisdictional major storm costs deferred to Regulatory Assets. Management concluded that APCo holds a variable interest in Appalachian Recovery Funding and is the primary beneficiary of the VIE because APCo has the power to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly impact the VIE’s economic performance and has the obligation to absorb losses of, or the right to receive benefits from, the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE. Therefore, APCo is required to consolidate Appalachian Recovery Funding. As of September 30, 2026, $35 million of the securitized bonds was included in Long-term Debt Due Within One Year - Nonaffiliated and $1.3 billion was included in Long-term Debt - Nonaffiliated on the balance sheets. Appalachian Recovery Funding’s securitized asset was $1.3 billion as of September 30, 2026 which is presented in Securitized Assets on the face of the balance sheets.

The securitized asset represents the right to impose and collect Virginia jurisdictional recovery charges from APCo’s Virginia jurisdictional customers. The securitization bonds are payable only from and secured by the securitized asset. The bondholders have no recourse to APCo or any other AEP entity. APCo acts as the servicer for Appalachian Recovery Funding’s securitized asset and remits all related amounts collected from customers to Appalachian Recovery Funding for interest and principal payments on the securitization bonds and related costs. See the tables below for the classification of Appalachian Recovery Funding’s assets and liabilities on APCo’s balance sheets.

The 2025 Annual Report includes a detailed discussion of AEP’s and Registrant Subsidiaries’ other consolidated VIEs.

The balances below represent the assets and liabilities of consolidated VIEs. These balances include intercompany transactions that are eliminated upon consolidation.

Non-Consolidated Significant Variable Interests

OVEC (Applies to AEP and OPCo)

In November 2025 and December 2025, OPCo filed applications with the PUCO and FERC, respectively, to transfer its 4.3% ownership in OVEC to Parent and its 19.93% OVEC power participation entitlement to AGR. In December 2025 and April 2026, the PUCO approved the application and the FERC authorized the transaction, respectively. The transaction was completed in June 2026. As a result of the transaction, Parent remains responsible for the financial and other obligations of AGR under the intercompany power agreement.

The 2025 Annual Report includes a detailed discussion of AEP’s and Registrant Subsidiaries’ other significant variable interests in non-consolidated VIEs.

Equity Method Investment in Unconsolidated Entities

Gigawatt AI (Applies to AEP)

In August 2025, AEP and Gigawatt AI, Inc. (GWAI), a privately held company, entered into a new commercial arrangement. GWAI is focused on developing AI-centric operating systems and applications that optimize utility operations and infrastructure. AEP initially invested $100 million in exchange for shares of GWAI voting common stock and received a warrant to purchase additional shares of voting common stock for $50 million. Additionally, AEP committed to invest up to $100 million through four separate performance-based milestones. Upon achievement of specified performance milestones, AEP made four additional investments of $25 million each and received additional voting common stock. As of September 30, 2026, AEP had invested a cumulative $200 million in GWAI and owned 20 million shares of voting common stock, representing 21% of GWAI’s outstanding voting common stock.

In connection with AEP’s equity interest, AEP was granted the right to designateone of thethree members of GWAI’s board of directors. The board position is currently held by an officer of AEP and, therefore, the investment is a related-party transaction. AEP’s board participation provides AEP with direct influence over GWAI’s governance and oversight, while GWAI’s founders retain all other equity interests and board representation. AEP also acquired a perpetual software license for software developed by GWAI.

The equity interest is accounted for as an equity method investment due to AEP’s ability to exercise significant influence over certain GWAI policies. As of September 30, 2026, AEP’s carrying value of the investment in GWAI was $200 million, which is recognized in Deferred Charges and Other Noncurrent Assets on the balance sheet. AEP’s proportionate share of GWAI’s losses was immaterial for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026.

The common stock warrant meets the definition of a derivative instrument and is therefore required to be carried at fair value on a recurring basis. The fair value of the common stock warrant and AEP’s acquired perpetual software license were immaterial as of September 30, 2026.

The 2025 Annual Report includes a detailed discussion of AEP’s and Registrant Subsidiaries’ other equity method investments.

Contract Assets and Liabilities

Contract assets are recognized when the Registrants have a right to consideration that is conditional upon the occurrence of an event other than the passage of time, such as future performance under a contract. The Registrants did not have material contract assets as of September 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025.

When the Registrants receive consideration, or such consideration is unconditionally due from a customer prior to transferring goods or services to the customer under the terms of a sales contract, they recognize a contract liability on the balance sheets in the amount of that consideration. Revenue for such consideration is subsequently recognized in the period or periods in which the remaining performance obligations in the contract are satisfied.

AEP's contract liabilities primarily relate to advance payments received under contracts for the procurement of long-lead-time transmission and distribution equipment and related construction services, as well as services provided under joint use agreements for utility poles. During 2026, AEP T&D Services entered into additional transmission and distribution equipment arrangements under which customers provided consideration in advance of performance. Revenue associated with these arrangements is recognized over time as the related performance obligations are satisfied. AEP T&D Services had contract liabilities of $197 million and $37 million as of September 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively. Contract liabilities for the Registrant Subsidiaries were not material as of September 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025.

Accounts Receivable from Contracts with Customers

Accounts receivable from contracts with customers are presented on the Registrant Subsidiaries’ balance sheets within the Accounts Receivable - Customers line item. The Registrant Subsidiaries’ balances for receivables from contracts that are not recognized in accordance with the accounting guidance for “Revenue from Contracts with Customers” included in Accounts Receivable - Customers were not material as of September 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025. See “Securitized Accounts Receivables - AEP Credit” section of Note 12 for additional information.
