(A)Includes amortization of EE programs regulatory investment expenditures of $30 million, $19 million, $57 million and $36 million for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

Three Months Ended June 30, 2024 as Compared to Three Months Ended June 30, 2023

Operating Revenues increased $201 million due to changes in delivery, commodity, clause and other operating revenues.

Delivery Revenues increased $49 million due primarily to

Electric and gas distribution revenues increased $38 million due primarily to a $52 million increase from higher sales volumes, a $14 million decrease in the flowback to customers of excess deferred tax liabilities and tax repair-related accumulated deferred income tax benefits resulting from rate reductions, which is offset in Income Tax Expense, $5 million from Energy Strong II (ESII) collections and a $4 million increase in Green Program Recovery Charge (GPRC) collections. These increases were partially offset by a $37 million reduction from Conservation Incentive Program (CIP) decoupling.

Transmission revenues were $11 million higher due primarily to an increase in revenue requirements attributable to higher rate base investment.

Commodity Revenues increased $118 million as a result of higher Electric revenues partially offset by lower Gas revenues. The changes in Commodity revenues for both electric and gas are entirely offset by the changes in Energy Costs. PSE&G earns no margin on the provision of BGS (basic generation service) and basic gas supply service (BGSS) to retail customers.

Electric commodity revenues increased $125 million due primarily to $85 million from higher BGS sales volumes and $39 million from higher BGS prices.

Gas commodity revenues decreased $7 million due primarily to a decrease of $17 million from lower BGSS prices, partially offset by $10 million from higher BGSS sales volumes.

Clause Revenues increased $24 million due primarily to a $21 million net increase in Tax Adjustment Credit (TAC) and GPRC deferrals and higher Societal Benefits Clause (SBC) revenues of $2 million. The changes in TAC and GPRC deferral amounts and SBC revenues are entirely offset by changes in the amortization of Regulatory Assets and Regulatory Liabilities and related costs in O&M, D&A, Interest and Income Tax Expenses. PSE&G does not earn margin on TAC and GPRC deferrals or on SBC revenue.

Energy Costs increased $132 million. This is entirely offset by changes in Commodity Revenues and Other Operating Revenues.

Operation and Maintenance increased $37 million due primarily to a $24 million increase in net distribution and transmission expenditures and $14 million of higher other operating expenses, partially offset by a $2 million reduction in clause and renewable costs.

Depreciation and Amortization increased $7 million due primarily to an increase in depreciation due to higher plant placed in service, partially offset by a decrease in the amortization of Regulatory Assets.

Net Other Income (Deductions)decreased $7 million due primarily to a decrease in the allowance for funds used during construction (AFUDC) and lower interest income.

Net Non-Operating Pension and OPEB Credits decreased $9 million due primarily to an $11 million decrease in the amortization of net prior service credits and a $1 million increase in the amortization of the net actuarial loss, partially offset by a $2 million increase in the expected return on plan assets and a $1 million decrease in interest cost.

Interest Expense increased $18 million due primarily to incremental debt and the replacement of maturing debt at higher rates.

Income Tax Expense increased $25 million due primarily to a decrease in the flowback of excess deferred income tax benefits.

Six Months Ended June 30, 2024 as Compared to Six Months Ended June 30, 2023

Operating Revenues increased $241 million due to changes in delivery, commodity, clause and other operating revenues.

Delivery Revenues increased $123 million due primarily to

Electric and gas distribution revenues increased $80 million due primarily to a $104 million increase from higher volumes, an $11 million increase in GPRC collections, a $7 million increase from ESII collections and a $6 million decrease in the flowback to customers of excess deferred tax liabilities and tax repair-related accumulated deferred income tax benefits resulting from rate reductions, which is offset in Income Tax Expense. These increases were partially offset by a $48 million reduction from CIP decoupling.

Transmission revenues were $43 million higher due primarily to an increase in revenue requirements attributable to higher rate base investment.

Commodity Revenues increased $45 million as a result of higher Electric partially offset by lower Gas revenues. The changes in Commodity revenues for both electric and gas are entirely offset by the changes in Energy Costs. PSE&G earns no margin on the provision of BGS and BGSS to retail customers.

Electric commodity revenues increased $146 million due to $97 million from higher sales volumes and $49 million from higher BGS prices.

Gas commodity revenues decreased $101 million due primarily to a decrease of $139 million from lower BGSS prices, partially offset by $38 million from higher BGSS sales volumes.

Clause Revenues increased $76 million due primarily to an $87 million increase in TAC and GPRC deferrals, partially offset by lower SBC revenues of $11 million. The changes in TAC and GPRC deferral amounts and SBC revenues are entirely offset by changes in the amortization of Regulatory Assets and Regulatory Liabilities and related costs in O&M, D&A, Interest and Income Tax Expenses. PSE&G does not earn margin on TAC and GPRC deferrals or on SBC revenue.

Energy Costs increased $76 million. This is entirely offset by changes in Commodity Revenues and Other Operating Revenues.

Operation and Maintenance increased $42 million due primarily to a $45 million increase in net distribution and transmission expenditures and $18 million of higher other operating expenses, partially offset by a $21 million reduction in clause and renewable costs.

Depreciation and Amortization increased $20 million due primarily to an increase in depreciation due to higher plant placed in service, partially offset by a decrease in the amortization of Regulatory Assets.

Net Other Income (Deductions)decreased $12 million due primarily to a decrease in AFUDC and lower interest income.

Net Non-Operating Pension and OPEB Credits decreased $18 million due primarily to a $22 million decrease in the amortization of net prior service credits and a $2 million increase in the amortization of the net actuarial loss, partially offset by a $4 million increase in the expected return on plan assets and a $2 million decrease in interest cost.

Interest Expense increased $43 million due primarily to incremental debt and the replacement of maturing debt at higher rates.

Income Tax Expense increased $63 million due primarily to higher pre-tax income and a decrease in the flowback of excess deferred income tax benefits.
