AEP Reports Fourth Quarter and Full-Year 2025 Results, Reaffirms Long-Term Growth Outlook

PR Newswire

  • Full-year GAAP earnings of $6.70 per share and operating earnings of $5.97 per share
  • 56 GW of incremental load by 2030, up from 28 GW in October, all backed by signed agreements
  • Opportunities identified for $5 billion to $8 billion of incremental investment beyond AEP's $72 billion five-year capital plan
  • 2026 operating earnings guidance of $6.15 to $6.45 per share and long-term operating earnings growth rate of 7% to 9% reaffirmed

COLUMBUS, Ohio, Feb. 12, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- American Electric Power (Nasdaq: AEP) today reported fourth-quarter 2025 GAAP earnings of $582 million or $1.09 per share, compared with GAAP earnings of $664 million or $1.25 per share in fourth-quarter 2024. Operating earnings for fourth-quarter 2025 were $638 million or $1.19 per share, compared with operating earnings of $660 million or $1.24 per share in fourth-quarter 2024.

Year-end 2025 GAAP earnings were $3.58 billion or $6.70 per share, compared with GAAP earnings of $2.97 billion or $5.60 per share for year-end 2024. Year-end 2025 operating earnings were $3.19 billion or $5.97 per share, compared with operating earnings of $2.98 billion or $5.62 per share for year-end 2024. See the detailed GAAP to operating earnings reconciliation at the end of this press release.

AEP reaffirmed its 2026 operating earnings outlook of $6.15 to $6.45 per share and its long-term operating earnings growth rate of 7% to 9%. These results reflect AEP's continued focus on developing essential infrastructure while maintaining affordability for customers.

"We delivered an exceptional year in 2025, with strong financial performance enabling us to advance infrastructure investments that are driving sustained growth," said Bill Fehrman, AEP chairman, president and chief executive officer. "AEP is exceptionally well positioned for the future with the scale and discipline to execute large-scale infrastructure projects needed to meet unprecedented customer demand in some of the highest-growth regions in the country. We remain committed to making investments that deliver long-term value while helping keep rates affordable for our customers."

Generational Load Growth Drives Investment

AEP continues to expand its large load customer base, with signed agreements for an additional 28 gigawatts (GW) of load since last October, bringing the incremental demand to 56 GW of new load by 2030. This incremental load has doubled since October, underscoring the confidence customers have in AEP to deliver complex projects throughout its service area. Load in AEP Texas alone has increased from 13 GW to 36 GW all backed by signed letters of agreement with well-capitalized hyperscalers and mega-sized data center developers. AEP is committed to building the necessary transmission and distribution infrastructure in Texas and is partnering with ERCOT to bring these large loads online in a timely manner and within the regulatory construct. The implementation of Texas Senate Bill 6 is expected to provide additional clarity and certainty on the timing of when these new loads will interconnect.

Additional opportunities are expanding the company's current $72 billion five-year capital plan. AEP has identified $5 billion to $8 billion in additional transmission and generation projects. These include competitively awarded 765-kilovolt (kV) transmission projects selected by multiple regional transmission organizations, both inside and outside AEP's service territory. AEP was proactive in securing Bloom Energy fuel cells which has positioned the company very well to pursue early development of a generation facility project in Wyoming, backed by $2.65 billion in fuel cell purchase commitments. The investments needed to serve the additional 28 GW of load in the updated demand forecast are not included in the current capital plan or the $5 billion to $8 billion of additional investment.

AEP is also advancing multiple generation solutions to support incremental load growth. In 2025, AEP's operating companies acquired 2.2 GW of new generation resources which provide immediate access to needed generation in high-growth regions. Additionally, AEP has secured over 10 GW of gas turbine capacity from major manufacturers, as well as strategic partnership agreements that support AEP's industry-leading 765-kV development capabilities, enabling the company to connect new load to the grid.

In conjunction with strong financial performance, the company continues to manage its balance sheet with discipline and strength allowing for continued execution around this unprecedented growth.

Sustained Focus on Customer Affordability

AEP supports federal and state calls for action to ensure that costs for providing service to new large load customers are fairly allocated. The company has led the way in working with stakeholders to protect customers from these cost impacts.

In 2025, new rate structures were approved for AEP's operating companies in Indiana, Ohio, Kentucky and West Virginia, requiring large load customers to pay for the new infrastructure needed to connect to the grid. Similar proposals are under review in Michigan, Oklahoma, Virginia and SWEPCO's Texas service territory.

"AEP's approach to large load customers is serving as a model for the industry," Fehrman said. "Nearly two years ago, AEP proposed a first-of-its-kind rate structure to address the costs of connecting large customers to the grid. This approach is being adopted in states across the country. Through federal loans, state grants, innovative rate designs and direct bill assistance, we are working to limit bill impacts while continuing to invest in the system. In addition to delivering safe and reliable power, we remain focused on affordability and protecting residential customers from increased costs."

Regulatory and Legislative Progress

AEP continues to make meaningful progress across its regulated jurisdictions, improving outcomes for customers while supporting long-term investment. Base rate cases have been approved or settled in Arkansas, Kentucky, Ohio and West Virginia. The company also achieved constructive legislative outcomes that are helping to reduce regulatory lag in Ohio, Oklahoma and Texas.

"AEP is making investments that we believe will benefit customers for decades to come. I have challenged and empowered our team to continue focusing on improved service for our customers. We are proud of what we accomplished in 2025, and we are committed to delivering value for our stakeholders," Fehrman concluded.

EARNINGS GUIDANCE

AEP management reaffirms its 2026 operating earnings guidance range of $6.15 to $6.45 per share. Operating earnings could differ from GAAP earnings for matters such as mark-to-market adjustments, divestitures, impairments or changes in accounting principles. AEP management is not able to forecast if any of these items will occur or any amounts that may be reported for future periods. Therefore, AEP is not able to provide a corresponding GAAP equivalent for earnings guidance.

WEBCAST

AEP's quarterly discussion with financial analysts and investors will be broadcast live over the internet at 9 a.m. Eastern today at http://www.aep.com/webcasts. The webcast will include audio of the discussion and visuals of charts and graphics referred to by AEP management. The charts and graphics will be available for download at http://www.aep.com/webcasts.

AEP's earnings are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States and represent the company's earnings as reported to the Securities and Exchange Commission. The company's operating earnings, a non-GAAP measure representing GAAP earnings excluding specific items as described in the news release and charts, provide another representation for investors to evaluate the performance of the company's ongoing business activities. AEP uses operating earnings as the primary performance measurement when communicating with analysts and investors regarding its earnings outlook and results. The company uses operating earnings data internally to measure performance against budget, to report to AEP's Board of Directors and also as an input in determining performance-based compensation under the company's employee incentive compensation plans.
