NextEra Energy reports first-quarter 2024 financial results
•NextEra Energy delivers strong first-quarter 2024 results
•FPL remains focused on executing its capital plan and providing best-in-class reliability while keeping customer bills low
•NextEra Energy Resources adds approximately 2,765 megawatts of new renewables and storage projects to its backlog

JUNO BEACH, Fla. - NextEra Energy, Inc. (NYSE: NEE) today reported 2024 first-quarter net income attributable to NextEra Energy on a GAAP basis of $2.268 billion, or $1.10 per share, compared to $2.086 billion, or $1.04 per share, for the first quarter of 2023. On an adjusted basis, NextEra Energy's 2024 first-quarter earnings were $1.873 billion, or $0.91 per share, compared to $1.678 billion, or $0.84 per share, in the first quarter of 2023.

"NextEra Energy delivered strong first-quarter results, growing adjusted earnings per share by approximately 8.3% year-over-year," said John Ketchum, chairman, president and chief executive officer. "Both FPL and NextEra Energy Resources delivered solid financial and operating performances to start off the year. FPL placed into service 1,640 megawatts of new, cost-effective solar, while NextEra Energy Resources added approximately 2,765 megawatts of new renewables and storage to its backlog, marking its second-best origination quarter ever and its best quarter for both solar and storage origination. Our two businesses are well positioned to meet future power demand with renewables, storage and transmission, while leveraging our combination of enterprise-wide scale, decades of experience and investment in technology to drive long-term value for customers and shareholders. We will be disappointed if we are not able to deliver financial results at or near the top of our adjusted earnings per share expectations ranges in each year through 2026, while maintaining our strong balance sheet and credit ratings."

FPL
FPL reported first-quarter 2024 net income of $1.172 billion, or $0.57 per share, compared to $1.070 billion, or $0.53 per share, for the prior-year quarter. As America's largest utility, FPL's growth in the first quarter of 2024 primarily was driven by continued investment in the business. FPL's capital expenditures were approximately $2.3 billion for the quarter, and full-year capital investments are expected to be between $7.8 billion and $8.8 billion. Regulatory capital employed increased by approximately 11.5% over the same quarter last year. FPL had its strongest quarter of customer growth in over 15 years with the average number of customers increasing by more than 100,000 from the comparable prior-year quarter.

FPL continued to execute against its capital plan and deliver outstanding value to its customers in one of the fastest-growing states in the nation. During the first quarter, FPL placed into service approximately 1,640 megawatts (MW) of new, cost-effective solar, putting FPL's owned and operated solar portfolio at over 6,400 MW, which is the largest utility-owned solar portfolio in the country.

With a focus on delivering clean, affordable energy, FPL received approval earlier this month to reduce customer bills due to projected 2024 fuel savings, which will result in a typical 1,000-kilowatt-hour residential customer bill that is approximately 37% lower than the national average.

Also in April, FPL filed its Ten-Year Site Plan, which calls for roughly 21 gigawatts (GW) of solar and over 4 GW of storage. With this plan, FPL expects to increase its solar from approximately 6% of its total generation in 2023 to 38% in 2033, while doubling the expected deployment of battery storage.

NextEra Energy Resources
NextEra Energy Resources reported first-quarter 2024 net income attributable to NextEra Energy on a GAAP basis of $966 million, or $0.47 per share, compared to $1.440 billion, or $0.72 per share, in the prior-year quarter. On an adjusted basis, NextEra Energy Resources' earnings for the first quarter of 2024 were $828 million, or $0.40 per share, compared to $732 million, or $0.36 per share, for the first quarter of 2023.

NextEra Energy Resources had its second-best quarter in its history for new renewables and storage origination, adding approximately 2,765 MW to its backlog, as well as its best quarter ever for both solar and storage origination. NextEra Energy Resources added approximately 1,545 MW of solar, 145 MW of wind, 1,025 MW of storage and 50 MW of wind repowering to its backlog. With these additions, NextEra Energy Resources' backlog now totals roughly 21.5 GW after taking into account roughly 1,165 MW of new projects placed into service since the fourth-quarter and full-year 2023 financial results call in January.

Corporate and Other
In the first quarter of 2024 on a GAAP basis, Corporate and Other results increased $0.27 per share, compared to the prior-year quarter. On an adjusted basis, Corporate and Other results for the first quarter of 2024 decreased by $0.01, compared to the prior-year quarter.

Outlook
NextEra Energy's long-term financial expectations remain unchanged. For 2024, NextEra Energy continues to expect adjusted earnings per share to be in the range of $3.23 to $3.43. For 2025 and 2026, NextEra Energy expects to grow 6% to 8%, off the 2024 adjusted earnings per share range. This translates to a range of $3.45 to $3.70 for 2025 and $3.63 to $4.00 for 2026. NextEra Energy also continues to expect to grow its dividends per share at a roughly 10% rate per year through at least 2026, off a 2024 base.

Adjusted earnings for the periods in this news release exclude the effects of non-qualifying hedges; NextEra Energy Partners, LP net investment gains; differential membership interests-related; change in unrealized gains and losses on equity securities held in NextEra Energy Resources' nuclear decommissioning funds and other than temporary impairments (OTTI) and impairment charges.

NextEra Energy's management uses adjusted earnings, which is a non-GAAP financial measure, internally for financial planning, analysis of performance, reporting of results to the board of directors and as an input in determining performance-based compensation under the company's employee incentive compensation plans. NextEra Energy also uses earnings expressed in this fashion when communicating its financial results and earnings outlook to analysts and investors. NextEra Energy's management believes that adjusted earnings provide a more meaningful representation of NextEra Energy's fundamental earnings power. A reconciliation of historical adjusted earnings to net income attributable to NextEra Energy, which is the most directly comparable GAAP measure, is included in the attachments to this news release. Adjusted earnings does not represent a substitute for net income, as prepared in accordance with GAAP.

NextEra Energy's adjusted earnings expectations exclude the cumulative effect of adopting new accounting standards; the effects of non-qualifying hedges and unrealized gains and losses on equity securities held in NextEra Energy Resources, LLC's nuclear decommissioning funds and other than temporary impairments, none of which can be determined at this time. Adjusted earnings expectations also exclude the effects of NextEra Energy Partners, LP net investment gains and differential membership interests-related. In addition, adjusted earnings expectations assume, among other things, normal weather and operating conditions; positive macroeconomic conditions in the U.S. and Florida; supportive commodity markets; current forward curves; public policy support for wind and solar development and construction; market demand and transmission expansion to support wind and solar development; market demand for pipeline capacity; access to capital at reasonable cost and terms; divestitures to NextEra Energy Partners, LP; no adverse litigation decisions; and no changes to governmental policies or incentives. Please see the accompanying cautionary statements for a list of the risk factors that may affect future results.

This news release should be read in conjunction with the attached unaudited financial information.
