AND SUBSIDIARIES

<\/b>Notes to Investor Relations Earnings Release (Unaudited)<\/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.<\/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.<\/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.<\/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.<\/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 months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, there were no such adjustments to GAAP earnings and therefore GAAP earnings equal ongoing earnings for these periods.<\/p>\n Note 1. Earnings Per Share Summary<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n\nXcel Energy\u2019s first quarter diluted earnings were $0.76 per share in 2023, compared with $0.70 per share in 2022. The increase was driven by recovery of electric and natural gas infrastructure investment, partially offset by higher depreciation, O&M expenses and interest charges. 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).

The higher earnings primarily reflect the timing of recovery of electric and natural gas infrastructure investment and the impact of colder than normal weather, partially offset by increased depreciation, O&M expenses and interest charges. Incremental investment recovery was implemented for electric operations in April 2022 and natural gas operations in November 2022, resulting in higher revenues in the first quarter of 2023 compared to 2022. The year-over-year impact of these higher revenues is not expected to continue throughout the rest of the year. Earnings are not a result of higher natural gas prices as PSCo does not profit on fuel or power costs purchased for its customers.<\/p>\n NSP-Minnesota <\/i><\/b>\u2014 Earnings increased $0.02 per share for the first quarter of 2023.

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 decoupling mechanisms in Minnesota predominately mitigate the positive and adverse impacts of weather for the electric utility in those jurisdictions.<\/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.<\/p>\n Weather<\/i><\/b> \u2014 Estimated impact of temperature variations on EPS compared

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.<\/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. In addition, electric customers receive a credit for PTCs generated, which reduce electric revenue and income taxes.<\/p>\n \nElectric revenues, fuel and purchased power and margin:<\/p>\n \n\n| \n \n\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/td>\n | \n \n\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/td>\n | \n Three Months Ended March 31<\/b><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n\n| \n (Millions of Dollars)<\/b><\/p>\n<\/td>\n | \n \n\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/td>\n | \n \n\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/td>\n | \n 2023<\/b><\/p>\n<\/td>\n | \n \n\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/td>\n | \n \n\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/td>\n | \n \n\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/td>\n | \n 2022<\/b><\/p>\n<\/td>\n | \n \n\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n | \n| \n \nElectric revenues<\/p>\n<\/td>\n | \n \n\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/td>\n | \n \n$<\/p>\n<\/td>\n | \n \n2,763<\/p>\n<\/td>\n | \n \n\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/td>\n | \n \n\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/td>\n | \n \n$<\/p>\n<\/td>\n | \n \n2,633<\/p>\n<\/td>\n | \n \n\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n | \n| \n \nElectric fuel and purchased power<\/p>\n<\/td>\n | \n \n\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/td>\n | \n \n\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/td>\n | \n \n(1,117<\/p>\n<\/td>\n | \n \n)<\/p>\n<\/td>\n | \n \n\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/td>\n | \n \n\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/td>\n | \n \n(1,094<\/p>\n<\/td>\n | \n \n)<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n | \n| \n \nElectric margin<\/p>\n<\/td>\n | \n \n\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/td>\n | \n \n$<\/p>\n<\/td>\n | \n \n1,646<\/p>\n<\/td>\n | \n \n\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/td>\n | \n \n\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/td>\n | \n \n$<\/p>\n<\/td>\n | \n \n1,539<\/p>\n<\/td>\n | \n \n\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n \n\n| \n (Millions of Dollars)<\/b><\/p>\n<\/td>\n | \n \n\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/td>\n | \n Three Months Ended March 31, 2023 vs. 2022<\/b><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n\n| \n \nRegulatory rate outcomes (Minnesota, Colorado, Texas, New Mexico, South Dakota and Wisconsin)<\/p>\n<\/td>\n | \n \n\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/td>\n | \n \n$<\/p>\n<\/td>\n | \n \n88<\/p>\n<\/td>\n | \n \n\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n | \n| \n \nSales and demand (a)<\/sup><\/p>\n<\/td>\n| \n \n\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/td>\n | \n \n\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/td>\n | \n \n18<\/p>\n<\/td>\n | \n \n\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n | \n| \n \nWholesale transmission (net)<\/p>\n<\/td>\n | \n \n\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/td>\n | \n \n\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/td>\n | \n \n17<\/p>\n<\/td>\n | \n \n\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n | \n| \n \nNon-fuel riders<\/p>\n<\/td>\n | \n \n\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/td>\n | \n \n\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/td>\n | \n \n15<\/p>\n<\/td>\n | \n \n\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n | \n| \n \nConservation and demand side management (offset in expense)<\/p>\n<\/td>\n | \n \n\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/td>\n | \n \n\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/td>\n | \n \n(17<\/p>\n<\/td>\n | \n \n)<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n | \n| \n \nPTCs flowed back to customers (offset by a lower ETR)<\/p>\n<\/td>\n | \n \n\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/td>\n | \n \n\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/td>\n | \n \n(12<\/p>\n<\/td>\n | \n \n)<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n | \n| \n \nEstimated impact of weather, net of decoupling<\/p>\n<\/td>\n | \n \n\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/td>\n | \n \n\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/td>\n | \n \n(10<\/p>\n<\/td>\n | \n \n)<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n | \n| \n \nOther (net)<\/p>\n<\/td>\n | \n \n\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/td>\n | \n \n\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/td>\n | \n \n8<\/p>\n<\/td>\n | \n \n\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n | \n| \n \nTotal increase<\/p>\n<\/td>\n | \n \n\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/td>\n | \n \n$<\/p>\n<\/td>\n | \n \n107<\/p>\n<\/td>\n | \n \n\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n \n\n(a)<\/sup><\/td>\n| \n \nSales excludes weather impact, net of decoupling in Colorado and proposed decoupling in Minnesota.<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n Natural Gas Margin <\/i><\/b>\u2014 Natural gas margin is presented as natural gas revenues less the cost of natural gas sold and transported.
