Adjusted earnings drivers for the first quarter of 2026, as compared with 2025, were higher utility revenues, partially offset by milder than normal weather at the regulated electric utilities and higher interest expense.
First-quarter 2026 operating revenues were $8.4 billion, compared with $7.8 billion for the first quarter of 2025, an increase of 8.0%.

(1)Dilution is not material in any period presented. Diluted earnings per share was $1.20 and $1.21 for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively.
(2)Earnings include pre-tax charges of $154 million ($120 million after tax) and $26 million ($20 million after tax, net of noncontrolling interest impacts) for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively, associated with accelerated depreciation related to the repowering of certain wind facilities at Southern Power Company.

(4)Earnings for the three months ended March 31, 2026 include an estimated loss of $2 million (before and after tax) at Southern Company Gas related to costs associated with Nicor Gas capital investments disallowed by the Illinois Commerce Commission in November 2025.
