COLUMBUS, Ohio, October 28, 2026 - American Electric Power (Nasdaq: AEP) today reported third-quarter 2026 GAAP earnings of $1,187 million or $2.18 per share, compared with GAAP earnings of $972 million or $1.82 per share in third-quarter 2025. Operating earnings for third-quarter 2026 were $1,216 million or $2.23 per share, compared with operating earnings of $963 million or $1.80 per share in third-quarter 2025. See the detailed GAAP-to-operating earnings reconciliation at the end of this news release. AEP expects full-year results to be at or above the high end of its 2026 operating earnings guidance range of $6.25 to $6.55 per share.
AEP is also announcing an expanded $100 billion five-year capital plan through 2031 and a new long-term operating earnings growth outlook as accelerating electricity demand creates significant investment opportunities across the company’s service territory. The updated capital plan is expected to support a robust 13% plus rate base compound annual growth rate (CAGR) through 2031.
AEP is further introducing an expected annual operating earnings per share growth rate of 9% to 11% from 2027 through 2031, with a greater than 10% CAGR through 2031 based off the original 2026 guidance midpoint of $6.30 per share. The company is also issuing operating earnings guidance ranges of $6.75 to $7.05 per share and $7.40 to $7.70 per share for 2027 and 2028, respectively.
“AEP is entering our next phase of growth from a position of strength,” said Bill Fehrman, AEP chairman, president and chief executive officer. “Our expanded capital plan and increased growth rate reflect the significant opportunities ahead and our ability to execute at scale to help meet rapidly growing energy needs while delivering long-term value to our customers, communities, shareholders and all other stakeholders.”
Growth Supports Customer Affordability
AEP’s growth strategy is designed to support both infrastructure investment and customer affordability. New manufacturers, hyperscalers and other large customers help spread fixed system costs across a broader customer base. Fully executed take-or-pay electric service agreements in AEP’s vertically integrated states are now expected to generate up to $21 billion in fixed cost offsets, increased from $16 billion, for existing residential customers over the life of the contracts. The second proposed rate reduction in Indiana is a clear example of this and demonstrates how responsibly managed load growth can benefit customers while supporting the investments needed for reliable service.
“As electricity demand accelerates, AEP is committed to having new large-load customers bear the incremental system costs they create and fund the investments required to serve them,” Fehrman said. “By pairing disciplined customer agreements with strategic investments in generation, transmission and distribution, we can strengthen reliability, drive affordability for customers and bring new economic opportunities to the communities we serve.”
Accelerating Demand Drives Diversified Capital Plan
With 15 gigawatts (GW) of new load commitments signed during the third quarter, AEP’s incremental contracted load is expected to grow to 84 GW by 2031. Projects are only included as incremental contracted load if backed by fully executed electric service agreements or letters of agreement.
AEP’s expanded five-year capital plan of $100 billion includes significant investment needs to strengthen reliability, modernize the grid and support growing customer demand. As a result, AEP’s rate base is expected to grow to $162 billion by 2031.
Building on its position as the nation’s largest owner and operator of transmission, the company plans to invest approximately $37 billion in transmission assets as part of the new capital plan. Accordingly, AEP’s transmission rate base is expected to nearly double and approach $70 billion by 2031.
AEP also plans to invest $36 billion in generation resources across its portfolio through 2031 to meet the increased demand, which is backed by long-term customer contracts. Approximately $22 billion of capital is planned for distribution, with investments focused on increasing the reliability and resiliency of the grid.

EARNINGS GUIDANCE
Given the strong year-to-date performance, AEP expects full-year 2026 operating earnings to be at or above the high end of the guidance range of $6.25-$6.55 per share and introduced operating earnings guidance ranges of $6.75 to $7.05 per share for 2027 and $7.40 to $7.70 per share for 2028.
NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES
Operating earnings, which could differ from earnings reported in accordance with GAAP, exclude certain gains and losses and other specified items that management believes are not indicative of AEP’s ongoing performance. 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 at this time.
2026 EPS GUIDANCE RECONCILIATION
Reflecting certain items recorded through the third quarter, the estimated earnings per share on a GAAP basis would be $6.11 to $6.41 per share. See the table below for a full reconciliation of 2026 earnings guidance.

AEP reports its financial results in accordance with GAAP. AEP supplements its reporting of financial information with certain non-GAAP financial measures, such as operating earnings and operating earnings per share. The most comparable GAAP measure to operating earnings and operating earnings per share is GAAP earnings and GAAP earnings per share, respectively.
This information is intended to enhance an investor's overall understanding of period over period financial results and provide an indication of AEP's baseline operating performance by excluding items that are considered by management to be not directly related to the ongoing operations of the business. In addition, this information is among the primary indicators management uses as a basis for evaluating performance, allocating resources, setting incentive compensation targets and planning and forecasting of future periods. These non-GAAP financial measures are not a presentation defined under GAAP and may not be comparable to other companies' presentations. These non-GAAP measures should not be deemed more useful than, a substitute for, or an alternative to the most comparable GAAP measures.
