2018 YEAR END EARNINGS REPORT


•	GAAP 2018 earnings per share were $2.47 compared with $2.25 per share in 2017.


•	Ongoing 2018 earnings per share were $2.47 compared with $2.30 per share in 2017.


•	Xcel Energy reaffirms 2019 earnings guidance of $2.55 to $2.65 per share.

MINNEAPOLIS — Xcel Energy Inc. (NASDAQ: XEL) today reported 2018 GAAP and ongoing earnings of $1,261 million, or $2.47 per share, compared with GAAP earnings of $1,148 million or $2.25 per share and ongoing earnings of $1,171 million or $2.30 per share in 2017.

GAAP and ongoing earnings increased as a result of higher electric and natural gas revenues primarily due to favorable weather and sales growth and higher AFUDC. These positive factors were partially offset by increased O&M, depreciation and interest expenses. GAAP earnings for 2017 include the non-recurring negative impact of the TCJA.

“Xcel Energy executed exceptionally well in 2018, achieving our financial targets and delivering outstanding value to customers and stakeholders. For the 14th consecutive year, we have met or exceeded our earnings guidance,” said chairman, president and CEO Ben Fowke. “In addition, throughout our entire company there is great pride that we became the first utility in the nation to announce a vision to deliver 100 percent carbon-free energy to our customers by 2050.”

“Our clean energy leadership is creating economic development opportunities for the communities we serve,” Fowke continued. “This is demonstrated by Google’s recent announcement regarding a new data center in Becker, Minnesota, which would be powered by our renewable energy.”
