| Metric | Latest | YoYYoY means Year-over-Year. It compares the latest annual value with the previous annual value to show long-term trend strength. | QoQQoQ means Quarter-over-Quarter. It compares the latest quarter with the immediately previous quarter to show short-term momentum changes. |
|---|---|---|---|
| RevenueThe total money that came through the front door from selling things, before paying a single bill. Think of it as the grand total of every credit card swipe from customers. (YoY compares this year to last year's performance, while QoQ compares the current three months to the previous three). | $5.9B | +1.7% | +3.9% |
| Net IncomeThe absolute bottom line. If the company paid every single supplier, employee, banker, and tax collector, this is the actual money left in their pocket at the end of the day. | $855.6M | -2.0% | +41.9% |
| Gross MarginThe basic markup. If they sell a $100 pair of sneakers, this percentage tells you how much of that price tag is profit right after paying for the rubber and shoelaces, but before paying for things like store rent or TV commercials. | +32.3% | -0.9% | -62.4% |
| Operating MarginThe 'day job' efficiency score. Out of every dollar a customer spends, this shows how many cents the company keeps after making the product AND paying for all the everyday corporate overhead (like salaries, marketing, and keeping the lights on). | +25.2% | +1.6% | +15.0% |
| Net MarginThe final take-home percentage. When you strip away every conceivable cost, tax, and interest payment, this is the exact number of cents the company truly gets to keep from every dollar in sales. | +14.5% | -3.6% | +36.6% |
| Free Cash FlowThe holy grail of corporate cash. It's the spendable, physical money left over after the business pays for its daily operations AND buys the big, expensive upgrades (like new factories or servers) it needs to survive. This is the 'free' money they can use to pay dividends or buy back stock. | $-751.7M | -113.0% | -24.9% |
| FCF MarginThe ultimate cash conversion rate. It shows how good the company is at turning regular sales directly into cold, hard, spendable cash. A high percentage means the business is an absolute cash-printing machine. | -12.7% | -109.5% | -20.2% |
| Debt / EquityThe financial risk gauge. It compares how much of the company's empire was built using borrowed money (loans) versus the owners' own money (shareholders). A high number means they are heavily leveraged and playing a riskier game; a low number means they are playing it safe. | 151.0% | +6.9% | +3.2% |
| Current RatioThe 12-month survival check. It simply compares the cash they have right now (plus things they can quickly turn into cash) against the immediate bills they absolutely must pay this year. A score above 1 means they have enough in the wallet to cover the upcoming bills without panicking. | 0.49x | -2.2% | -19.4% |
| Total AssetsThe absolute size of the company's empire. It bundles together absolutely everything of value they own—from the cash in the register and the inventory in the warehouse, to the software patents in the vault and the factories on the ground. | $35.4B | +9.8% | +2.5% |
| Metric | Annual (A vs E) | Annual Surprise | Quarter (A vs E) | Quarter Surprise |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| EPS Surprise | 3.66 vs 3.95 | -7.4% | 0.91 vs 2.52 | -63.8% |

Operator: Good day, and thank you for standing by. Welcome to the Quarter 2 2026 Evergy, Inc. Earnings Conference Call. [Operator Instructions] Please be advised that today's conference is being recorded. I would like to now hand the conference over to your first speaker today, Senior Director of Insurance and Investor Relations, Peter Flynn. Please go ahead. Peter Flynn: Thank you, Courtney, and good morning, everyone. Welcome to Evergy's Second Quarter 2026 Earnings Conference Call. Our webcast slides and supplemental financial information are available on our Investor Relations website at investors.evergy.com. Today's discussion will include forward-looking information. Slide 2 and the disclosures in our SEC filings contain a list of some of the factors that could cause future results to differ materially from our expectations. They also include additional information on our non-GAAP financial measures. Joining us on today's call are David Campbell, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer; and Bryan Buckler, Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer. David will cover second quarter highlights, economic development, our planned resource additions and our regulatory agenda. Bryan will cover our second quarter results, retail sales trends and our financial outlook. Other members of management are with us and will be available during the Q&A portion of the call. I'll now turn the call over to David. David Campbell: Thanks, Pete, and good morning, everyone. I'll begin on Slide 5. This morning, we are pleased to report second quarter adjusted earnings of $0.88 per share compared to $0.82 per share a year ago. Our results were driven primarily by the recovery of regulated investments, load growth and revenues from our large load customers, partially offset by higher operations and maintenance and depreciation expense. Our solid results through June put us on target for the midpoint of full year 2026 adjusted EPS guidance of $4.14 to $4.34 per share. Bryan will cover our results in more detail. Safety is a core value within our organization, and I'm also pleased to report that our 2026 safety performance is trending favorably to target. This result reflects the commitment of our employees and the effectiveness of our efforts to drive continuous improvement through training, accountability and operational discipline. We are encouraged by our progress, and it's imperative that we remain disciplined going forward with the goal of sending every employee home safely every day. I also want to recognize our employees for their relentless efforts to keep the lights on during a very active Q2 storm season. In early June, we experienced back-to-back severe storms that generated straight-line winds of 115 miles per hour and multiple tornadoes that caused extensive damage across our service territory, ranging from Central and Southeastern Kansas through the Kansas City metro area. Despite these challenging conditions, our team safely restored power to …

Regulated utilities are the definition of boring, and that is exactly the point: predictable rate bases, essential service demand and quarterly checks that keep landing in accounts year after year.
The evolution of the artificial intelligence (AI) trade breathed new life into the once-sleepy utilities sector. It was once seen a boring bond-like group made for risk-averse income investors.
Evergy's $21.6B grid plan targets rising power demand, with strong Q1 sales and large-load projects driving long-term growth.
