AND SUBSIDIARIES<\/b><\/p>\n \nNotes to Investor Relations Earnings Release (Unaudited)\n<\/p>\n \nDue to the seasonality of Xcel Energy\u2019s operating results, quarterly financial results are not an appropriate base from which to project annual results.\n<\/p>\n Non-GAAP Financial Measures<\/b><\/p>\n \nThe following discussion includes financial information prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), as well as certain non-GAAP financial measures such as ongoing return on equity (ROE), ongoing earnings and ongoing diluted EPS. Generally, a non-GAAP financial measure is a measure of a company\u2019s financial performance, financial position or cash flows that adjusts measures calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP. Xcel Energy\u2019s management uses non-GAAP measures for financial planning and analysis, for reporting of results to the Board of Directors, in determining performance-based compensation and communicating its earnings outlook to analysts and investors. Non-GAAP financial measures are intended to supplement investors\u2019 understanding of our performance and should not be considered alternatives for financial measures presented in accordance with GAAP. These measures are discussed in more detail below and may not be comparable to other companies\u2019 similarly titled non-GAAP financial measures.\n<\/p>\n Ongoing ROE<\/span><\/p>\n\nOngoing ROE is calculated by dividing the net income or loss of Xcel Energy or each subsidiary, adjusted for certain nonrecurring items, by each entity\u2019s average stockholder\u2019s equity. We use these non-GAAP financial measures to evaluate and provide details of earnings results.\n<\/p>\n Earnings Adjusted for Certain Items (Ongoing Earnings and Ongoing Diluted EPS)<\/span><\/p>\n\nGAAP diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other agreements to issue common stock (i.e., common stock equivalents) were settled. The weighted average number of potentially dilutive shares outstanding used to calculate Xcel Energy Inc.\u2019s diluted EPS is calculated using the treasury stock method. Ongoing earnings reflect adjustments to GAAP earnings (net income) for certain items. Ongoing diluted EPS for Xcel Energy is calculated by dividing net income or loss, adjusted for certain items, by the weighted average fully diluted Xcel Energy Inc. common shares outstanding for the period. Ongoing diluted EPS for each subsidiary is calculated by dividing the net income or loss for such subsidiary, adjusted for certain items, by the weighted average fully diluted Xcel Energy Inc. common shares outstanding for the period.\n<\/p>\n \nWe use these non-GAAP financial measures to evaluate and provide details of Xcel Energy\u2019s core earnings and underlying performance. We believe these measurements are useful to investors to evaluate the actual and projected financial performance and contribution of our subsidiaries. For the three and nine months ended Sept. 30, 2022 and 2021, there were no such adjustments to GAAP earnings and therefore GAAP earnings equal ongoing earnings for these periods.\n<\/p>\n Note 1. Earnings Per Share Summary<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n\nXcel Energy\u2019s third quarter diluted earnings were $1.18 per share in 2022, compared with $1.13 per share in 2021. The increase was driven by regulatory rate outcomes, partially offset by higher depreciation, interest charges and O&M expenses. Costs for natural gas significantly increased in 2022 due to supply and demand conditions. However, fluctuations in electric and natural gas revenues associated with changes in fuel and purchased power and\/or natural gas sold and transported generally do not significantly impact earnings (changes in costs are offset by the related variation in revenues).\n<\/p>\n \nSummarized diluted EPS for Xcel Energy:\n<\/p>\n \n\n| \n \n\u00a0\n<\/p>\n<\/td>\n | \n \n\u00a0\n<\/p>\n<\/td>\n | \n

Regulated Utility Results<\/span><\/b><\/p>\nEstimated Impact of Temperature Changes on Regulated Earnings <\/i><\/b>\u2014 Unusually hot summers or cold winters increase electric and natural gas sales, while mild weather reduces electric and natural gas sales. The estimated impact of weather on earnings is based on the number of customers, temperature variances, the amount of natural gas or electricity historically used per degree of temperature and excludes any incremental related operating expenses that could result due to storm activity or vegetation management requirements. As a result, weather deviations from normal levels can affect Xcel Energy\u2019s financial performance. However, decoupling mechanisms in Colorado and proposed sales true-up mechanisms in Minnesota predominately mitigate the positive and adverse impacts of weather for the electric utility in those jurisdictions.\n<\/p>\n \nNormal weather conditions are defined as either the 10, 20 or 30-year average of actual historical weather conditions. The historical period of time used in the calculation of normal weather differs by jurisdiction, based on regulatory practice. To calculate the impact of weather on demand, a demand factor is applied to the weather impact on sales. Extreme weather variations, windchill and cloud cover may not be reflected in weather-normalized estimates.\n<\/p>\n Weather<\/i><\/b> \u2014 Estimated impact of temperature variations on EPS compared with normal weather conditions:\n<\/p>\n\n\n| \n \n\u00a0\n<\/p>\n<\/td>\n | \n Three Months Ended Sept. 30<\/b><\/p>\n<\/td>\n | \n \n\u00a0\n<\/p>\n<\/td>\n | \n Nine Months Ended Sept. 30<\/b><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n\n| \n \n\u00a0\n<\/p>\n<\/td>\n | \n 2022 vs.

C&I sales decline was attributable to decreased use per customer, primarily in the manufacturing sector (largely due to an alternative generation arrangement with a significant customer), partially offset by strong small C&I sales in the professional services and health care sectors.\n<\/li>\n
- \nNSP-Minnesota \u2014 Residential sales growth reflects a 1.2% increase in customers, partially offset by decreased use per customer. Growth in C&I sales was primarily due to higher use per customer, particularly in the manufacturing, real estate and leasing, and food service sectors.\n<\/li>\n

Electric Margin <\/i><\/b>\u2014 Electric margin is presented as electric revenues less electric fuel and purchased power expenses. Expenses incurred for electric fuel and purchased power are generally recovered through various regulatory recovery mechanisms. As a result, changes in these expenses are generally offset in operating revenues.\n<\/p>\n \nElectric revenues and fuel and purchased power expenses are impacted by fluctuations in the price of natural gas, coal and uranium. However, these price fluctuations generally have minimal earnings impact due to fuel recovery mechanisms that recover fuel expenses. In addition, electric customers receive a credit for PTCs generated, which reduce electric revenue and income taxes.\n<\/p>\n \nElectric revenues, fuel and purchased power and margin and explanation of the changes are listed as follows:\n<\/p>\n \n\n| \n \n\u00a0\n<\/p>\n<\/td>\n | \n \n\u00a0\n<\/p>\n<\/td>\n | \n Three Months Ended Sept. 30<\/b><\/p>\n<\/td>\n | \n \n\u00a0\n<\/p>\n<\/td>\n | \n Nine Months Ended Sept. 30<\/b><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n\n| \n (Millions of Dollars)<\/b><\/p>\n<\/td>\n | \n \n\u00a0\n<\/p>\n<\/td>\n | \n 2022<\/b><\/p>\n<\/td>\n | \n \n\u00a0\n<\/p>\n<\/td>\n | \n 2021<\/b><\/p>\n<\/td>\n | \n \n\u00a0\n<\/p>\n<\/td>\n | \n 2022<\/b><\/p>\n<\/td>\n | \n \n\u00a0\n<\/p>\n<\/td>\n | \n 2021<\/b><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n\n| \n \nElectric revenues\n<\/p>\n<\/td>\n | \n \n\u00a0\n<\/p>\n<\/td>\n | \n \n$\n<\/p>\n<\/td>\n | \n \n3,699\n<\/p>\n<\/td>\n | \n \n\u00a0\n<\/p>\n<\/td>\n | \n \n\u00a0\n<\/p>\n<\/td>\n | \n \n$\n<\/p>\n<\/td>\n | \n \n3,176\n<\/p>\n<\/td>\n | \n \n\u00a0\n<\/p>\n<\/td>\n | \n \n\u00a0\n<\/p>\n<\/td>\n | \n \n$\n<\/p>\n<\/td>\n | \n \n9,255\n<\/p>\n<\/td>\n | \n \n\u00a0\n<\/p>\n<\/td>\n | \n \n\u00a0\n<\/p>\n<\/td>\n | \n \n$\n<\/p>\n<\/td>\n | \n \n8,643\n<\/p>\n<\/td>\n | \n \n\u00a0\n<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n | \n| \n \nElectric fuel and purchased power\n<\/p>\n<\/td>\n | \n \n\u00a0\n<\/p>\n<\/td>\n | \n \n\u00a0\n<\/p>\n<\/td>\n | \n \n(1,497\n<\/p>\n<\/td>\n | \n \n)\n<\/p>\n<\/td>\n | \n \n\u00a0\n<\/p>\n<\/td>\n | \n \n\u00a0\n<\/p>\n<\/td>\n | \n \n(1,210\n<\/p>\n<\/td>\n | \n \n)\n<\/p>\n<\/td>\n | \n \n\u00a0\n<\/p>\n<\/td>\n | \n \n\u00a0\n<\/p>\n<\/td>\n | \n \n(3,772\n<\/p>\n<\/td>\n | \n \n)\n<\/p>\n<\/td>\n | \n \n\u00a0\n<\/p>\n<\/td>\n | \n \n\u00a0\n<\/p>\n<\/td>\n | \n \n(3,643\n<\/p>\n<\/td>\n | \n \n)\n<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n | \n| \n \nElectric margin\n<\/p>\n<\/td>\n | \n \n\u00a0\n<\/p>\n<\/td>\n | \n \n$\n<\/p>\n<\/td>\n | \n \n2,202\n<\/p>\n<\/td>\n | \n \n\u00a0\n<\/p>\n<\/td>\n | \n \n\u00a0\n<\/p>\n<\/td>\n | \n \n$\n<\/p>\n<\/td>\n | \n \n1,966\n<\/p>\n<\/td>\n | \n \n\u00a0\n<\/p>\n<\/td>\n | \n \n\u00a0\n<\/p>\n<\/td>\n | \n \n$\n<\/p>\n<\/td>\n | \n \n5,483\n<\/p>\n<\/td>\n | \n \n\u00a0\n<\/p>\n<\/td>\n | \n \n\u00a0\n<\/p>\n<\/td>\n | \n \n$\n<\/p>\n<\/td>\n | \n \n5,000\n<\/p>\n<\/td>\n | \n \n\u00a0\n<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n \n\n| \n (Millions of Dollars)<\/b><\/p>\n<\/td>\n | \n \n\u00a0\n<\/p>\n<\/td>\n | \n Three Months Ended

O&M costs increased due to recognition of previously deferred amounts related to the 2021 Texas Electric Rate Case, additional investments in technology and customer programs, higher costs for storms and vegetation management and inflationary impacts. These increases were partially offset by a reduction in employee benefit costs and timing of certain power plant overhaul costs.\n<\/p>\n Depreciation and Amortization <\/i><\/b>\u2014 Depreciation and amortization increased $70 million for the third quarter and $221 million year-to-date. The increase was primarily driven by normal system expansion, recognition of previously deferred costs related to the Texas Electric Rate Case and several wind farms going into service.\n<\/p>\n Other (Expense) Income<\/i><\/b> \u2014 Other (expense) income decreased $12 million for the third quarter and $25 million year-to-date, largely related to rabbi trust performance, which is primarily offset in O&M expenses (employee benefit costs).\n<\/p>\n Interest Charges <\/i><\/b>\u2014 Interest charges increased $33 million for the third quarter and $77 million year-to-date, largely due to higher

rate assumption method. Income tax benefits associated with the credit are offset by corresponding revenue reductions.\n<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n \nIncome tax expense increased $1 million for the third quarter and income tax benefit increased $63 million year-to-date. The year-to-date increase was primarily driven by an increase in wind PTCs due to greater production at existing wind farms, several new wind farms going into service and an increase in the PTC rate.\n<\/p>\n Inflation Reduction Act \u2014 <\/i><\/b>In August 2022, the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) was signed into law.\n<\/p>\n \nKey provisions impacting Xcel Energy include:\n<\/p>\n \n- \nExtends current PTC and ITC (Investment Tax Credit) for renewable technologies (e.g., wind and solar).\n<\/li>\n
- \nRestores full value of the PTC and ITC for qualifying facilities placed in-service after 2021.\n<\/li>\n
- \nCreates a PTC for solar, clean hydrogen and nuclear.\n<\/li>\n
- \nEstablishes an ITC for energy storage, microgrids, interconnection facilities, etc.\n<\/li>\n
- \nAllows companies to monetize or sell credits to unrelated parties.\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
\nXcel Energy anticipates the IRA will drive approximately $500 million of customer savings over the next 5 years for existing company owned renewable projects, assuming appropriate regulatory mechanisms and development of a market for the sale of credits. The IRA will drive additional customer savings as Xcel Energy adds new renewable projects due to the extension of tax credits and transferability.\n<\/p>\n \nThe IRA is expected to allow Xcel Energy to monetize tax credits more efficiently with the incremental benefits passed through to customers. Transferability provisions apply to eligible tax credits generated starting in 2023 for both new and existing facilities. Xcel Energy anticipates tax credit transferability from existing renewable projects will improve cash from operations by $1.8 billion (2023-2027), assuming constructive regulatory outcomes and the development of a market. Tax credit transferability has been included in our five-year financing plan and rate base projections.\n<\/p>\n \nThe IRA creates a nuclear PTC beginning in 2024 that may also provide additional customer savings. The annual customer benefit from these PTCs could range from $0 to $200 million, depending on locational marginal pricing, as well as constructive U.S. Treasury guidance regarding computation of the credits.\n<\/p>\n \nIn addition, the IRA created a new corporate alternative minimum tax (AMT). Xcel Energy does not anticipate AMT having a material cash impact based on current estimates and our interpretation of AMT application.\n<\/p>\n Note 3.
