American Electric Power (Nasdaq: AEP) today reported
third-quarter 2021 earnings, prepared in accordance with Generally
Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP), of $796 million or $1.59 per share, compared with GAAP earnings of
$749 or $1.51 per share in third-quarter 2020. Operating
earnings for third-quarter 2021 were $717
million or $1.43 per share,
compared with operating earnings of $728
million or $1.47 per share in
third-quarter 2020.
Operating earnings is a non-GAAP measure representing GAAP
earnings excluding special items. The difference between 2021 GAAP
earnings and operating earnings for the quarter was due to the
mark-to-market impact of economic hedging activities.
A full reconciliation of GAAP earnings to operating earnings for
the quarter is included in the tables at the end of this news
release.
"Our investments in a reliable, resilient and cleaner energy
system for our customers continue to support our solid earnings
results. We have narrowed our 2021 earnings guidance to the upper
half of the original guidance range based on our strong performance
this year, continued execution on our strategy and confidence in
the strength and balance of the economic recovery across AEP's
service area. AEP's Board of Directors also voted last week to
boost our quarterly dividend by 4
cents to 78 cents per share,"
said Nicholas K. Akins, AEP
chairman, president and chief executive officer.
"In September, we brought the second of our three North Central
wind farms online, consistent with our plan to provide customers
with low-cost, clean resources and transform our generating
capacity to approximately 50 percent renewables by 2030. We also
continue to make significant investments to expand and enhance the
transmission grid, which is critical in supporting electric system
reliability and the nation's transition to cleaner energy. Our
Transmission Holding Co. contributed 33
cents per share in the third quarter, up 5 cents from last year. Net plant for this
business grew $1.3 billion, or 12
percent, since September 2020.
"We completed the strategic review of our Kentucky operations and announced earlier this
week our plan to sell Kentucky Power and the AEP Kentucky Transco.
We expect to complete the sale in the second quarter of 2022,
pending regulatory approvals, and plan to invest the proceeds in
regulated projects including renewables and transmission as we move
to a clean energy economy.
"We benefited from warmer temperatures in the third quarter
compared with last year. Operations and maintenance expenses
increased year over year, due partially to reduced spending last
year from actions we took to adjust to the pandemic. We remain
focused on controlling costs and continue to effectively adjust our
expenses based on the investments we are making to serve our
customers.
"Residential sales are down slightly from last year but have
increased from pre-pandemic levels as more of our customers
continue to work remotely. We continue to see growth in commercial
and industrial sales as businesses bounce back from the impacts of
the pandemic. Overall, our service territory is recovering faster
than expected and is well-positioned for future economic growth,"
Akins said.

EARNINGS GUIDANCE
AEP management narrowed its 2021 operating earnings guidance
range to $4.65 to $4.75 per share. Operating earnings could differ
from GAAP earnings for matters such as impairments, divestitures 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.
Reflecting special items recorded through the third quarter, the
estimated earnings per share on a GAAP basis would be $4.79 to $4.89 per
share. See the table below for a full reconciliation of 2021
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

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 special 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.
American Electric Power, based in Columbus, Ohio, is powering a cleaner,
brighter energy future for its customers and communities. AEP's
approximately 16,800 employees operate and maintain the nation's
largest electricity transmission system and more than 223,000 miles
of distribution lines to safely deliver reliable and affordable
power to 5.5 million regulated customers in 11 states. AEP also is
one of the nation's largest electricity producers with
approximately 31,000 megawatts of diverse generating capacity,
including more than 5,900 megawatts of renewable energy. The
company's plans include growing its renewable generation portfolio
to approximately 50% of total capacity by 2030. AEP is on track to
achieve an 80% reduction in carbon dioxide emissions from 2000
levels by 2030 and has committed to achieve net zero by 2050. AEP
is recognized consistently for its focus on sustainability,
community engagement, and diversity, equity and inclusion. AEP's
family of companies includes utilities AEP Ohio, AEP Texas,
Appalachian Power (in Virginia and
West Virginia), AEP Appalachian
Power (in Tennessee), Indiana
Michigan Power, Kentucky Power, Public Service Company of
Oklahoma, and Southwestern
Electric Power Company (in Arkansas, Louisiana, east Texas and the Texas
Panhandle). AEP also owns AEP Energy, which provides
innovative competitive energy solutions nationwide. For more

This report made by American Electric Power and its Registrant
Subsidiaries contains forward-looking statements within the meaning
of Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Although AEP
and each of its Registrant Subsidiaries believe that their
expectations are based on reasonable assumptions, any such
statements may be influenced by factors that could cause actual
outcomes and results to be materially different from those
projected. Among the factors that could cause actual results to
differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements are:
changes in economic conditions, electric market demand and
demographic patterns in AEP service territories; the impact of
pandemics, including COVID-19, and any associated disruption of
AEP's business operations due to impacts on economic or market
conditions, costs of compliance with vaccination or testing
mandates to AEP, electricity usage, employees including employee
unwillingness to comply with potential vaccination mandates,
customers, service providers, vendors and suppliers; inflationary
or deflationary interest rate trends; volatility in the financial
markets, particularly developments affecting the availability or
cost of capital to finance new capital projects and refinance
existing debt; the availability and cost of funds to finance
working capital and capital needs, particularly during periods when
the time lag between incurring costs and recovery is long and the
costs are material; decreased demand for electricity; weather
conditions, including storms and drought conditions, and AEP's
ability to recover significant storm restoration costs; the cost of
fuel and its transportation, the creditworthiness and performance
of fuel suppliers and transporters and the cost of storing and
disposing of used fuel, including coal ash and spent nuclear fuel;
the availability of fuel and necessary generation capacity and the
performance of AEP's generation plants; AEP's ability to recover
fuel and other energy costs through regulated or competitive
electric rates; AEP's ability to build or acquire renewable
generation, transmission lines and facilities (including the
ability to obtain any necessary regulatory approvals and permits)
when needed at acceptable prices and terms, including favorable tax
treatment, and to recover those costs; new legislation, litigation
and government regulation, including changes to tax laws and
regulations, oversight of nuclear generation, energy commodity
trading and new or heightened requirements for reduced emissions of
sulfur, nitrogen, mercury, carbon, soot or particulate matter and
other substances that could impact the continued operation, cost
recovery, and/or profitability of AEP's generation plants and
related assets; evolving public perception of the risks associated
with fuels used before, during and after the generation of
electricity, including coal ash and nuclear fuel; timing and
resolution of pending and future rate cases, negotiations and other
regulatory decisions, including rate or other recovery of new
investments in generation, distribution and transmission service
and environmental compliance; resolution of litigation; AEP's
ability to constrain operation and maintenance costs; prices and
demand for power generated and sold at wholesale; changes in
technology, particularly with respect to energy storage and new,
developing, alternative or distributed sources of generation; AEP's
ability to recover through rates any remaining unrecovered
investment in generation units that may be retired before the end
of their previously projected useful lives; volatility and changes
in markets for coal and other energy-related commodities,
particularly changes in the price of natural gas; changes in
utility regulation and the allocation of costs within regional
transmission organizations, including ERCOT, PJM and SPP; changes
in the creditworthiness of the counterparties with whom AEP has
contractual arrangements, including participants in the energy
trading market; actions of rating agencies, including changes in
the ratings of AEP debt; the impact of volatility in the capital
markets on the value of the investments held by AEP's pension,
OPEB, captive insurance entity and nuclear decommissioning trust
and the impact of such volatility on future funding requirements;
accounting standards periodically issued by accounting
standard-setting bodies; other risks and unforeseen events,
including wars, the effects of terrorism (including increased
security costs), embargoes, naturally occurring and human-caused
fires, cyber security threats and other catastrophic events; and
the ability to attract and retain the requisite work force and key
personnel.
