CAUTIONARY STATEMENTS REGARDING CERTAIN FORWARD-LOOKING INFORMATION

Statements made in this document that are not based on historical facts are forward-looking, may involve risks and uncertainties, and are intended to be as of the date when made. Forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements relating to Evergy's strategic plan, including, without limitation, those related to earnings per share, dividend, operating and maintenance expense and capital investment goals; the outcome of legislative efforts and regulatory and legal proceedings; future energy demand, including demand driven by new and existing customers; future power prices; plans with respect to existing and potential future generation resources; the availability and cost of generation resources and energy storage; target emissions reductions; and other matters relating to expected financial performance or affecting future operations. Forward-looking statements are often accompanied by forward-looking words such as "anticipates," "believes," "expects," "estimates," "forecasts," "guidance," "should," "could," "may," "seeks," "intends," "predict," "potential," "opportunities," "proposed," "projects," "planned," "target," "outlook," "remain confident," "goal," "will" or other words of similar meaning. Forward-looking statements involve risks, uncertainties and other factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from the forward-looking information.

In connection with the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, the Evergy Companies are providing a number of risks, uncertainties and other factors that could cause actual results to differ from the forward-looking information. These risks, uncertainties and other factors include, but are not limited to: economic and weather conditions and any impact on sales, prices and costs; significant changes in the demand for electricity; changes in business strategy or operations, including with respect to the Evergy Companies' strategy to meet demand requirements of existing and future customers; the impact of federal, state and local political, legislative, judicial and regulatory actions or developments, including deregulation, re-regulation, securitization and restructuring of the electric utility industry; changes in U.S. trade policies (including tariffs and other trade measures) and responses from other countries; the ability to build or acquire generation and transmission facilities to meet the future demand for electricity from customers; the ability to control costs, avoid costs and schedule overruns during the development, construction and operation of generation, transmission, distribution or other projects due to challenges, which include, but are not limited to, changes in labor costs, availability and productivity, challenges with the management of contractors or vendors, subcontractor performance, shortages, delays, increased costs or inconsistent quality of equipment, materials and labor and increased financing costs as a result of changes in interest rates or as a result of project delays; decisions of regulators regarding, among other things, customer rates and the prudency of operational decisions such as capital expenditures and asset retirements; changes in applicable laws, regulations, rules, principles or practices, or the interpretations thereof, governing tax, accounting and environmental matters, including air and water quality and waste management and disposal; development, adoption and use of artificial intelligence by the Evergy Companies and its third-party vendors; the impact of climate change, including increased frequency and severity of significant weather events; risks relating to potential wildfires, including costs of litigation, potential regulatory penalties and damages in excess of insurance liability coverage; the extent to which counterparties are willing to do business with, finance the operations of or purchase energy from the Evergy Companies due to the fact that the Evergy Companies operate coal-fired generation; prices and availability of electricity and natural gas in wholesale markets; market perception of the energy industry and the Evergy Companies; the impact of future pandemic health events on, among other things, sales, results of operations, financial position, liquidity and cash flows, and also on operational issues, such as supply chain issues and the availability and ability of the Evergy Companies' employees and suppliers to perform the functions that are necessary to operate the Evergy Companies; changes in the energy trading markets in which the Evergy Companies participate, including retroactive repricing of transactions by regional transmission organizations (RTO) and independent system operators; financial market conditions and performance, disruptions in the banking industry, including volatility in interest rates and credit spreads and in availability and cost of capital and the effects on derivatives and hedges, nuclear decommissioning trust and pension plan assets and costs; impairments of long-lived assets or goodwill; credit ratings; inflation rates; effectiveness of risk management policies and procedures and the ability of counterparties to satisfy their contractual commitments; impact of physical and cybersecurity breaches, criminal activity, terrorist attacks, acts of war and other disruptions to the Evergy Companies' facilities or information technology infrastructure or the facilities and infrastructure of third-party service providers on which the Evergy Companies rely; impact of geopolitical conflicts on the global energy market, including the ability to contract for non-Russian sourced uranium; ability to carry out marketing and sales

plans; cost, availability, quality and timely provision of equipment, supplies, labor and fuel; ability to achieve generation goals and the occurrence and duration of planned and unplanned generation outages; the Evergy Companies' ability to manage their generation, transmission and distribution development plans and transmission joint ventures; the inherent risks associated with the ownership and operation of a nuclear facility, including environmental, health, safety, regulatory and financial risks; workforce risks, including those related to the Evergy Companies' ability to attract and retain qualified personnel, maintain satisfactory relationships with their labor unions and manage costs of, or changes in, wages, retirement, health care and other benefits; disruption, costs and uncertainties caused by or related to the actions of individuals or entities, such as activist shareholders or special interest groups, that seek to influence Evergy's strategic plan, financial results or operations; the impact of changing expectations and demands of the Evergy Companies' customers, regulators, investors and stakeholders, including differing views on environmental, social and governance concerns; the possibility that strategic initiatives, including mergers, acquisitions and divestitures, and long-term financial plans, may not create the value that they are expected to achieve in a timely manner or at all; difficulties in maintaining relationships with customers, employees, contractors, regulators or suppliers; the outcome of litigation involving the Evergy Companies; and other risks and uncertainties.

This list of factors is not all-inclusive because it is not possible to predict all factors. You should also carefully consider the information contained in the Evergy Companies' other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). Additional risks and uncertainties are discussed from time to time in current, quarterly and annual reports filed by the Evergy Companies with the SEC. New factors emerge from time to time, and it's not possible for the Evergy Companies to predict all such factors, nor can the Evergy Companies assess the impact of each such factor on the business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained or implied in any forward-looking statement. Given these uncertainties, undue reliance should not be placed on these forward-looking statements. The Evergy Companies undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by law.

Basis of Presentation

These unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Regulation S-X. Accordingly, these unaudited consolidated financial statements do not include all of the information and notes required by GAAP for annual financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements in the Evergy Companies' combined 2024 Form 10-K.

Table of Contents

These unaudited consolidated financial statements, in the opinion of management, reflect all normal recurring adjustments necessary to fairly present the unaudited consolidated financial statements for each of the Evergy Companies for these interim periods. In preparing financial statements that conform to GAAP, management must make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the reported amounts of revenues and expenses, and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Principles of Consolidation

Each of Evergy's, Evergy Kansas Central's and Evergy Metro's unaudited consolidated financial statements includes the accounts of their subsidiaries and the variable interest entities (VIE) of which Evergy and Evergy Kansas Central are the primary beneficiaries. Undivided interests in jointly-owned generation facilities are included on a proportionate basis. Intercompany transactions have been eliminated. The Evergy Companies assess financial performance and allocate resources on a consolidated basis (i.e., operate in one segment).

Cash, Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash

Cash equivalents consist of highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less at acquisition. Evergy has restricted cash included in Other Current Assets and Other Non-current Assets on Evergy's consolidated balance sheet to facilitate the servicing of Evergy Missouri West Storm Funding I, LLC's debt and the funding requirements for a jointly-owned generation facility. The following table summarizes the cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash included on Evergy's consolidated balance sheet.

Earnings Per Share

To compute basic earnings per common share (EPS), Evergy divides net income attributable to Evergy, Inc. by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted EPS includes the effect of issuable common shares resulting from restricted share units, convertible notes and a warrant. Evergy computes the dilutive effects of potential issuances of common shares using the treasury stock method, the contingently issuable share method or the if-converted method, as applicable.

The following table reconciles Evergy's basic and diluted EPS.



Three Months Ended March 31		2025		2024
Income	(millions, except per share amounts)
Net income		$	128.1	$	125.8
Less: net income attributable to noncontrolling interests		3.1		3.1
Net income attributable to Evergy, Inc.		$	125.0	$	122.7
Common Shares Outstanding
Weighted average number of common shares outstanding - basic		230.4		230.2
Add: effect of dilutive securities		1.7		0.2
Diluted average number of common shares outstanding		232.1		230.4

Basic and Diluted EPS		$	0.54	$	0.53

The effect of dilutive securities for the three months ended March 31, 2025 included 1.3 million shares resulting from Evergy's convertible notes. There was no dilution resulting from Evergy's convertible notes for the three months ended March 31, 2024. There were no anti-dilutive shares excluded from the computation of diluted EPS for the three months ended March 31, 2025. Anti-dilutive securities excluded from the computation of diluted EPS for the three months ended March 31, 2024 were 3,950,000 common shares issuable pursuant to a warrant that expired in 2024.

Missouri Legislation

In April 2025, Missouri S.B. 4 was signed into law by the Governor of Missouri. Most notably, S.B. 4 establishes new mechanisms for Missouri electric utilities to recover the costs associated with the construction of new natural gas-fired generating units. The utilities will be able to include certain costs of construction work in progress (CWIP) in rate base. The inclusion of CWIP will be in lieu of allowance for funds used during construction (AFUDC) applicable to the construction of the new natural gas-fired generating units. The Public Service Commission of the State of Missouri (MPSC) will determine the amount of CWIP that may be included in rate base. Additionally, amounts collected arising from the inclusion of CWIP in rate base are subject to refund under certain circumstances. These provisions are scheduled to expire at the end of 2035.

Table of Contents

Additionally, the law extends Missouri's existing plant-in service accounting (PISA) provisions to include certain natural gas-fired generating units as qualifying electric plant and extends the sunset date of these provisions through the end of 2035. These provisions allow electric utilities to defer to a regulatory asset for recovery in a subsequent general rate case 85% of depreciation expense and the associated return on investment for qualifying electric plant rate base additions for assets placed in-service between general rate cases.

Natural Gas Plant Investments

The Evergy Companies use a triennial integrated resource plan (IRP), a detailed analysis that estimates factors that influence the future supply and demand for electricity, to inform the manner in which they supply electricity. The most recent IRPs incorporate the latest SPP resource adequacy requirements and anticipated load growth. Based on these and other factors, the IRP indicated the addition of new supply side resources, including combined and simple cycle natural gas plants, would be needed.

In October 2024, Evergy announced its plan to construct two combined-cycle natural gas plants located in Kansas. Evergy Kansas Central and Evergy Missouri West will jointly-own each plant and expect each plant to have an initial generating capacity of approximately 705 MW. The first plant is expected to begin operations by summer of 2029 and the second plant is expected to begin operations by summer of 2030.

Additionally, Evergy Missouri West plans to construct a 440 MW simple-cycle natural gas plant located in Missouri. The plant is expected to begin operations in 2030.

In 2024, Evergy Kansas Central and Evergy Missouri West requested predetermination from the KCC and a CCN from the MPSC, respectively, for their planned natural gas investments. In April 2025, Evergy Kansas Central and intervenors in the case reached a non-unanimous partial settlement agreement regarding its investments in its planned natural gas plants. See "Applications for Predetermination" and "Requests for Certificate of Convenience and Necessity" in Note 4 for information regarding Evergy Kansas Central's and Evergy Missouri West's applications for predetermination and Certificate of Convenience and Necessity (CCN) for their investments in these natural gas plants.

Renewable Plant Investments

Evergy Kansas Central intends to construct and own an approximately 159 MW solar generation facility to be located in Kansas and called Kansas Sky. The solar generation facility is expected to begin operations by summer of 2027. The construction of Kansas Sky is subject to the granting by the Kansas Corporation Commission (KCC) of predetermination with reasonably acceptable terms and other closing conditions. In April 2025, Evergy Kansas Central and intervenors in the case reached a unanimous partial settlement agreement regarding the Kansas Sky solar investment. See "Applications for Predetermination" in Note 4 for additional information regarding Evergy Kansas Central's application for predetermination for its investment in this renewable generating plant.

In 2024, Evergy Missouri West entered into agreements to own two solar generation facilities currently under development. The first facility, to be called Sunflower Sky, is a solar generation facility to be located in Kansas with an expected generating capacity of approximately 65 MW. The second facility, to be called Foxtrot, is a solar generation facility to be located in Missouri with an expected generating capacity of approximately 100 MW. The solar generation facilities are expected to begin operations by summer of 2027. The agreements are subject to regulatory approvals and closing conditions, including the granting by the MPSC of a CCN with reasonably acceptable terms. See "Requests for Certificate of Convenience and Necessity" in Note 4 for information regarding Evergy Missouri West's application for a CCN for its investment in this renewable generating plant.

4. RATE MATTERS AND REGULATION

KCC Proceedings

Evergy Kansas Central's 2025 Rate Case Proceeding

In January 2025, Evergy Kansas Central filed an application with the KCC to request an increase to its retail revenues of approximately $196 million. Evergy Kansas Central's request reflected a return on equity of 10.5% (with a capital structure composed of 52% equity) and increases related to the recovery of infrastructure investments made to improve reliability and enhance customer service and the update of expenses to current levels of spend. An evidentiary hearing in the case is scheduled to occur in July 2025 and new rates are expected to be effective in September 2025.

Applications for Predetermination

The KCC uses a process referred to as ‘predetermination’ to establish ratemaking principles and treatments for certain utility investments before they are included in a utility’s rate base. The process helps balance the interest of utilities and customers by ensuring broad agreement to the reasonableness of the investment and regulatory certainty regarding the recovery of costs associated with the investment. Investment in utility projects may be dependent on acceptable regulatory treatment determined in the predetermination process.

In November 2024, Evergy Kansas Central requested predetermination from the KCC for its planned natural gas plant investments and Kansas Sky solar investment. In April 2025, Evergy Kansas Central and intervenors in the case reached a non-unanimous partial settlement agreement regarding its planned natural gas plant investments and a unanimous partial settlement agreement regarding the Kansas Sky solar investment.

The partial settlement agreement for the natural gas plant investments, if approved by the KCC, establishes that Evergy Kansas Central's investment in its planned natural plants is prudent. Subject to the approval of the KCC and within limitations, the agreement will permit Evergy Kansas Central to implement a CWIP rider one year after construction of each plant begins and Evergy Kansas Central will recover through the CWIP rider the return on up to 100% of amounts recorded to CWIP for each plant. Evergy Kansas Central will be permitted to update rates charged through the CWIP rider every six months. Evergy Kansas Central will be permitted to collect these amounts through the CWIP rider until new base rates reflecting Evergy Kansas Central's investment in the natural gas plants take effect. Evergy Kansas Central will not be able to accrue AFUDC on these amounts once the CWIP rider becomes effective and is included in customer rates. When new base rates reflecting Evergy Kansas Central's investment in each plant take effect, those base rates would include a deferral for depreciation expense incurred and carrying costs on any unrecovered portion of Evergy Kansas Central's investment in natural gas plants incurred between the time the natural gas plants are placed in service and the time the investment in the natural gas plants is included in base rates. Investments above certain amounts established in the settlement agreement would be subject to a prudence review.

The partial settlement agreement for the Kansas Sky solar investment, if approved by the KCC, allows Evergy Kansas Central’s investment in Kansas Sky to be included in rates at Evergy Kansas Central’s next general rate case at a fixed amount for the first thirty years of the life of the generation site. In addition, Evergy Kansas Central would be permitted to defer to a regulatory asset and recover over the remaining life of the Kansas Sky solar investment depreciation expense, the associated return on investment and other costs incurred between the time the investment is placed in service and the effective date of rates that include the fixed revenue requirement.

Table of Contents

Evergy Kansas Central is expecting an order from the KCC on its planned natural gas plant investments and its Kansas Sky solar investment in July 2025.

Evergy Kansas Central 2025 Transmission Delivery Charge (TDC)

In April 2025, the KCC issued an order adjusting Evergy Kansas Central's retail prices to include updated transmission costs as reflected in the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) transmission formula rate (TFR). The new prices are effective in May 2025 and are expected to increase Evergy Kansas Central's annual retail revenues by $55.9 million when compared to 2024.

Evergy Metro 2025 TDC

In April 2025, the KCC issued an order adjusting Evergy Metro's retail prices to include updated transmission costs as reflected in the FERC TFR. The new prices are effective in May 2025 and are expected to increase Evergy Metro's annual retail revenues by $4.8 million when compared to 2024.

MPSC Proceedings
Evergy Missouri West's 2024 Rate Case Proceeding

In January 2025, Evergy Missouri West implemented new rates approved by the MPSC in December 2024 providing for an increase to Evergy Missouri West's retail revenues of approximately $55 million after lowering base rates for fuel and purchased power expense of approximately $49 million and rebasing property tax expense.

Requests for Certificate of Convenience and Necessity

Missouri utilities must request a CCN from the MPSC to authorize them to build certain utility projects. The CCN process authorizes utilities to build projects and can provide assurance that the project is prudent and necessary. Investment in projects is dependent upon the granting by the MPSC of a CCN with reasonably acceptable terms. In 2024, Evergy Missouri West filed applications for CCNs for its planned renewable and natural gas plant investments. Final orders from the MPSC are expected in August 2025.

FERC Proceedings

In October of each year, Evergy Kansas Central and Evergy Metro post an updated TFR that includes projected transmission capital expenditures and operating costs for the following year. This rate is the most significant component in the retail rate calculation for Evergy Kansas Central's and Evergy Metro's annual request with the KCC to adjust retail prices to include updated transmission costs through the TDC.

Evergy Kansas Central TFR Annual Update

Most recently, the updated TFR was expected to adjust Evergy Kansas Central's annual transmission revenues by approximately:

•$19.1 million increase effective in January 2025; and

•$115.8 million increase effective in January 2024.

Evergy Kansas Central TFR Formal Complaint

In February 2023, certain Evergy Kansas Central TFR customers submitted a formal complaint with FERC requesting the refund of over-collections related to the capital structure calculation in determining Evergy Kansas Central's Annual Transmission Revenue Requirement for the 2018 and 2019 rate years. As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, Evergy and Evergy Kansas Central had recorded a $7.1 million regulatory liability related to the 2018 and 2019 rate year refund request. Evergy and Evergy Kansas Central are awaiting a response from FERC.

Evergy Metro TFR Annual Update

Most recently, the updated TFR was expected to adjust Evergy Metro's annual transmission revenues by approximately:

•$1.0 million increase effective in January 2025; and

•$23.7 million increase effective in January 2024.

5. PENSION PLANS AND POST-RETIREMENT BENEFITS

Evergy and certain of its subsidiaries maintain, and Evergy Kansas Central and Evergy Metro participate in, qualified non-contributory defined benefit pension plans covering the majority of Evergy Kansas Central's and Evergy Metro's employees as well as certain non-qualified plans covering certain active and retired officers. Evergy is also responsible for its indirect 94% ownership share of Wolf Creek Generating Station (Wolf Creek) defined benefit plans, consisting of Evergy Kansas South's and Evergy Metro's respective 47% ownership shares.

For the majority of employees, pension benefits under these plans reflect the employees' compensation, years of service and age at retirement. However, for the plan covering Evergy Kansas Central's employees, the benefits for non-union employees hired between 2002 and the second quarter of 2018 and union employees hired beginning in 2012 are derived from a cash balance account formula. The plan was closed to future non-union employees in 2018. For the plans covering Evergy Metro's employees, the benefits for union employees hired beginning in 2014 are derived from a cash balance account formula and the plans were closed to future non-union employees in 2014.

Evergy and its subsidiaries also provide certain post-retirement health care and life insurance benefits for substantially all retired employees of Evergy Kansas Central and Evergy Metro and their respective shares of Wolf Creek's post-retirement benefit plans.

The Evergy Companies record pension and post-retirement expense in accordance with rate orders from the KCC and MPSC that allow the difference between pension and post-retirement costs under GAAP and costs for ratemaking to be recognized as a regulatory asset or liability. This difference between financial and regulatory accounting methods is due to timing and will be eliminated over the life of the plans.

The following tables provide the components of net periodic benefit costs prior to the effects of capitalization and sharing with joint owners of power plants.

6. SHORT-TERM BORROWINGS AND SHORT-TERM BANK LINES OF CREDIT

The Evergy Companies' $2.5 billion master credit facility expires in 2028. Evergy, Evergy Kansas Central, Evergy Metro and Evergy Missouri West have borrowing capacity under the master credit facility with specific sublimits for each borrower. These sublimits can be unilaterally adjusted by Evergy for each borrower provided the sublimits remain within minimum and maximum sublimits as specified in the facility. The applicable interest rates and commitment fees of the facility are also subject to changes in ratings by the credit rating agencies.

A default by any borrower under the facility or one of its significant subsidiaries on other indebtedness totaling more than $100.0 million constitutes a default by that borrower under the facility. Under the terms of this facility, each of Evergy, Evergy Kansas Central, Evergy Metro and Evergy Missouri West is required to maintain a total indebtedness to total capitalization ratio, as defined in the facility, of not greater than 0.65 to 1.00. As of March 31, 2025, Evergy, Evergy Kansas Central, Evergy Metro and Evergy Missouri West were in compliance with this covenant.

8. DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS

The Evergy Companies engage in the wholesale and retail sale of electricity as part of their regulated electric operations, in addition to limited non-regulated energy marketing activities. These activities expose the Evergy Companies to market risks associated with the price of electricity, natural gas and other energy-related products. Management has established risk management policies and strategies to reduce the potentially adverse effects that the volatility of the markets may have on the Evergy Companies' operating results. The Evergy Companies' commodity risk management activities, which are subject to the management, direction and control of an internal risk management committee, utilize derivative instruments to reduce the effects of fluctuations in wholesale sales and fuel and purchased power expense caused by commodity price volatility.

The Evergy Companies are also exposed to market risks arising from changes in interest rates and may use derivative instruments to manage these risks. The Evergy Companies' interest rate risk management activities have included using derivative instruments to hedge against future interest rate fluctuations on anticipated debt issuances.

The Evergy Companies also engage in non-regulated energy marketing activity for trading purposes, primarily at Evergy Kansas Central, which focuses on seizing market opportunities to create value driven by expected changes in the market prices of commodities, primarily electricity and natural gas.

The Evergy Companies consider various qualitative factors, such as contract and marketplace attributes, in designating derivative instruments at inception. The Evergy Companies may elect the normal purchases and normal sales (NPNS) exception, which requires the effects of the derivative to be recorded when the underlying contract

Table of Contents

settles under accrual accounting. The Evergy Companies account for derivative instruments that are not designated as NPNS primarily as either economic hedges or trading contracts (non-hedging derivatives) which are recorded as assets or liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets at fair value. See Note 9 for additional information on the Evergy Companies' methods for assessing the fair value of derivative instruments. Changes in the fair value of non-hedging derivatives that are related to the Evergy Companies' regulated operations are deferred to a regulatory asset or regulatory liability when determined to be probable of future recovery or refund from/to customers. Recovery of the actual costs incurred by regulated activities will not impact earnings but will impact cash flows due to the timing of the recovery mechanism. Cash flows for all derivative instruments are classified as operating activities on the Evergy Companies' statements of cash flows, with the exception of cash flows for interest rate swap agreements accounted for as cash flows hedges of forecasted debt transactions, which are recorded as financing activities. Changes in the fair value of non-hedging derivatives that are not related to the Evergy Companies' regulated operations are recorded in operating revenues on the Evergy Companies' statements of income and comprehensive income.

The Evergy Companies offset fair value amounts recognized for derivative instruments under master netting arrangements, which include rights to reclaim cash collateral (a receivable), or the obligation to return cash collateral (a payable).

The gross notional contract amount by commodity type for derivative instruments is summarized in the following table.

Credit risk of the Evergy Companies' derivative instruments relates to the potential adverse financial impact resulting from non-performance by a counterparty of its contractual obligations. The Evergy Companies maintain credit policies and employ credit risk mitigation, such as collateral requirements or letters of credit, when necessary to minimize their overall credit risk and monitor exposure. Substantially all of the Evergy Companies' counterparty credit risk associated with derivative instruments relates to Evergy Kansas Central's non-regulated energy marketing activities. As of March 31, 2025, if counterparty groups completely failed to perform on contracts, Evergy's and Evergy Kansas Central's maximum exposure related to derivative assets was $32.9 million. As of March 31, 2025, the potential loss after the consideration of applicable master netting arrangements and collateral received for Evergy and Evergy Kansas Central was $20.0 million.

Certain of the Evergy Companies' derivative instruments contain collateral provisions that are tied to the Evergy Companies' credit ratings and may require the posting of collateral for various reasons, including if the Evergy Companies' credit ratings were to fall below investment grade. Substantially all of these derivative instruments relate to Evergy Kansas Central's non-regulated energy marketing activities. The aggregate fair value of all derivative instruments with credit-risk-related contingent features that were in a liability position as of March 31, 2025, was $37.0 million for which Evergy and Evergy Kansas Central have posted $2.5 million collateral in the normal course of business. If the credit-risk-related contingent features underlying these agreements were triggered as of March 31, 2025, Evergy and Evergy Kansas Central could be required to post an additional $32.9 million of collateral to their counterparties.

9. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

Values of Financial Instruments

GAAP establishes a hierarchical framework for disclosing the transparency of the inputs utilized in measuring assets and liabilities at fair value. Management's assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement requires judgment and may affect the classification of assets and liabilities within the fair value hierarchy levels. In addition, the Evergy Companies measure certain investments that do not have a readily determinable fair value at net asset value (NAV), which are not included in the fair value hierarchy. Further explanation of these levels and NAV is summarized below.

Level 1 – Quoted prices are available in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. The types of assets and liabilities included in Level 1 are highly liquid and actively traded instruments with quoted prices, such as equities listed on public exchanges or exchange-traded derivative instruments.

Level 2 – Pricing inputs are not quoted prices in active markets but are either directly or indirectly observable. The types of assets and liabilities included in Level 2 are certain marketable debt securities, financial instruments traded in less than active markets, non-exchange traded derivative instruments with observable forward curves and options contracts.

Level 3 – Significant inputs to pricing have little or no transparency. The types of assets and liabilities included in Level 3 are those with inputs requiring significant management judgment or estimation. The types of assets and liabilities included in Level 3 are non-exchange traded derivative instruments for which observable market data is

Table of Contents

not available to corroborate the valuation inputs and transmission congestion rights (TCRs) in the SPP Integrated Marketplace.

NAV - Investments that do not have a readily determinable fair value are measured at NAV. These investments do not consider the observability of inputs and, therefore, they are not included within the fair value hierarchy. The Evergy Companies include in this category investments in private equity, real estate and alternative investment funds that do not have a readily determinable fair value. The underlying alternative investments include collateralized debt obligations, mezzanine debt and a variety of other investments.

The Evergy Companies record cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and short-term borrowings on their consolidated balance sheets at cost, which approximates fair value due to the short-term nature of these instruments.

Fair Value of Long-Term Debt

The Evergy Companies measure the fair value of long-term debt using Level 2 measurements available as of the measurement date. The book value and fair value of the Evergy Companies' long-term debt are summarized in the following table.



	March 31, 2025				December 31, 2024
	Book Value		Fair Value		Book Value		Fair Value
Long-term debt(a)	(millions)
Evergy(b)	$	13,057.4	$	12,411.5	$	12,460.9	$	11,535.0
Evergy Kansas Central	5,179.0		4,703.0		4,583.5		4,031.7
Evergy Metro	3,224.0		3,007.3		3,223.4		2,966.3

(a) Includes current maturities.

(b) Book value as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, includes $80.3 million and $81.7 million, respectively, of fair value adjustments recorded in connection with purchase accounting for the merger that created Evergy, which are not part of future principal payments and will amortize over the remaining life of the associated debt instrument.

10. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Environmental Matters

Set forth below are descriptions of contingencies related to environmental matters that may impact the Evergy Companies' operations or their financial results. Management's assessment of these contingencies, which are based on federal and state statutes and regulations, and regulatory agency and judicial interpretations and actions, has evolved over time. These laws, regulations, interpretations and actions can also change, restrict or otherwise impact the Evergy Companies' operations or financial results. The failure to comply with these laws, regulations, interpretations and actions could result in the assessment of administrative, civil and criminal penalties and the

Table of Contents

imposition of remedial requirements. The Evergy Companies believe that all their operations are in substantial compliance with current federal, state and local environmental standards.

There are a variety of final and proposed laws and regulations that could have a material adverse effect on the Evergy Companies' operations and consolidated financial results. Due in part to the complex nature of environmental laws and regulations, the Evergy Companies are unable to assess the impact of potential changes that may develop with respect to the environmental contingencies described below.

Ozone Interstate Transport State Implementation Plans (ITSIP)

In 2015, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) lowered the Ozone National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS) from 75 ppb to 70 ppb. States were required to submit ITSIPs in 2018 to comply with the "Good Neighbor Provision" of the Clean Air Act (CAA) as it applies to the revised NAAQS. The EPA did not act on these ITSIP submissions by the deadline established in the CAA and entered consent decrees establishing deadlines for the EPA to take final action on various ITSIPs. In February 2022, the EPA published a proposed rule to disapprove the ITSIPs submitted by nineteen states including Missouri and Oklahoma. In April 2022, the EPA published an approval of the Kansas ITSIP in the Federal Register. The Missouri Department of Natural Resources (MDNR) submitted a supplemental ITSIP to the EPA in November 2022. In February 2023, the EPA published a final rule disapproving the ITSIPs submitted by nineteen states, including the final disapproval of the Missouri and Oklahoma ITSIPs. In April 2023, the Attorneys General of Missouri and Oklahoma filed Petitions for Review in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit (Eighth Circuit) and the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Tenth Circuit (Tenth Circuit), respectively, challenging the EPA's disapproval. In May 2023, the Eighth Circuit granted a stay of the EPA's disapproval of the Missouri ITSIP. Similarly, in July 2023, the Tenth Circuit granted a stay of the EPA's disapproval of the Oklahoma ITSIP. In August 2024, the EPA published in the Federal Register a proposed rule to disapprove the supplemental ITSIP that Missouri submitted in November 2022. Due to uncertainty regarding the stays of the EPA's disapprovals of the Missouri and Oklahoma ITSIPs, the Evergy Companies are unable to accurately assess the impact on their operations or consolidated financial results, but the cost to comply could be material. In January 2024, the EPA proposed to disapprove the ITSIP for Kansas and four other states. The Kansas ITSIP was previously approved in April 2022. The impact of the EPA's disapproval of the Kansas ITSIP could have a material impact on the Evergy Companies' operations.

Ozone Interstate Transport Federal Implementation Plans (ITFIP)

In April 2022, the EPA published in the Federal Register the proposed ITFIP to resolve outstanding "Good Neighbor" obligations with respect to the 2015 Ozone NAAQS for twenty-six states including Missouri and Oklahoma. This ITFIP would establish a revised Cross-State Air Pollution Rule (CSAPR) ozone season nitrogen oxide (NOx) emissions trading program for EGUs beginning in 2023 and would limit ozone season NOx emissions from certain industrial stationary sources beginning in 2026. The proposed rule would also establish a new daily backstop NOx emissions rate limit for applicable coal-fired units larger than 100 MW, as well as unit-specific NOx emission rate limits for certain industrial emission units and would feature "dynamic" adjustments of emission budgets for EGUs beginning with ozone season 2025. The proposed ITFIP included reductions to the state ozone season NOx budgets for Missouri and Oklahoma beginning in 2023 with additional reductions in future years. The Evergy Companies provided formal comments as part of the rulemaking process. In March 2023, the EPA issued the final ITFIPs for twenty-three states, including Missouri and Oklahoma, which included reduced ozone season NOx budgets for EGUs in Missouri, Oklahoma and other states, and included other features and requirements that were in the proposed version of the rule. Because the EPA's authority to impose an ITFIP for a state is triggered by the state's failure to submit an ITSIP addressing NAAQS by the statutory deadline or disapproval of an ITSIP, the EPA lacks authority under the CAA to impose an ITFIP on a state for which state implementation plan (SIP) disapprovals have been stayed by the courts. Accordingly, the EPA issued interim final rules staying the effectiveness of the ITFIP in both Missouri and Oklahoma while the stays issued by the Eighth and Tenth Circuits in the ITSIP disapproval cases remain in place. During this time, both states will continue to operate under the existing CSAPR program. While Kansas was not originally included in the ITFIP, in January 2024, the EPA issued a proposal to include Kansas in the ITFIP. In June 2024, the U.S. Supreme Court issued an order granting emergency motions for stay filed by state and industry petitioners of the final ITFIP pending further review of the ITFIP by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit (D.C. Circuit). In March 2025, the EPA announced plans to end the Good Neighbor Rule for the 2015 Ozone NAAQS. And in April 2025, the D.C. Circuit granted an EPA

Table of Contents

request to hold all challenges to the ITFIP in indefinite abeyance. If the ITFIP ultimately takes effect for Missouri, Kansas and Oklahoma following the pending litigation or the EPA is unable to end the program as announced, the impact on the Evergy Companies' operations and the cost to comply could be material.

Particulate Matter National Ambient Air Quality Standards

In March 2024, the EPA published in the Federal Register the final rule which strengthens the primary annual PM2.5 (particulate matter less than 2.5 microns in diameter) NAAQS. The EPA is lowering the primary annual PM2.5 NAAQS from 12.0 µg/m3 (micrograms per cubic meter) to 9.0 µg/m3. The final rule took effect in May 2024. In August 2024, the EPA released the PM2.5 ambient monitor design values for calendar years 2021 through 2023. These design values will be used by each state governor for recommending to the EPA attainment designations for their states. In February 2025, the Kansas Governor sent recommendations to the EPA to designate the entire state of Kansas as either attainment or attainment/unclassifiable for the 2024 annual PM2.5 NAAQS. In March 2025, the EPA announced it plans to reconsider the 2024 PM2.5 NAAQS. As a result of the EPA's plans to reconsider this NAAQS, the Missouri Governor delayed submitting area designations to the EPA. While the EPA is required to issue final designations for all states, including Kansas and Missouri, by February 2026, the issuance of final designations is in question based on the EPA's plans to reconsider this NAAQS. Due to the uncertainty of the attainment status of portions of the service territory and potential reconsideration of the NAAQS, the Evergy Companies are unable to accurately assess the impacts on their operations or consolidated financial results, but the cost to comply with lower PM2.5 NAAQS could be material.

Regional Haze Rule

In 1999, the EPA finalized the Regional Haze Rule which aims to restore national parks and wilderness areas to pristine conditions. The rule requires states in coordination with the EPA, the National Park Service, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, the U.S. Forest Service, and other interested parties to develop and implement air quality protection plans to reduce the pollution that causes visibility impairment. There are 156 "Class I" areas across the U.S. that must be restored to pristine conditions by the year 2064. There are no Class I areas in Kansas, whereas Missouri has two: the Hercules-Glades Wilderness Area and the Mingo Wilderness Area. States must submit revisions to their Regional Haze Rule state implementation plans (SIPs) every ten years and the first round was due in 2007. For the second ten-year implementation period, the EPA issued a final rule revision in 2017 that allowed states to submit their SIP revisions by July 2021.

The Missouri SIP revision does not require any additional reductions from the Evergy Companies' generating units in the state. MDNR submitted the Missouri SIP revision to the EPA in August 2022, however, they failed to do so by the EPA's revised submittal deadline in August 2022. As a result, in August 2022, the EPA published "finding of failure" with respect to Missouri and fourteen other states for failing to submit their Regional Haze SIP revisions by the applicable deadline. This finding of failure established a two-year deadline for the EPA to issue a Regional Haze federal implementation plan (FIP) for each state unless the state submits and the EPA approves a revised SIP that meets all applicable requirements before the EPA issues the FIP. In July 2024, the EPA published in the Federal Register a proposal to partially approve and partially disapprove Missouri's Regional Haze SIP revision.

The Kansas SIP revision did not include any additional emission reductions by electric utilities based on the significant reductions that were achieved during the first implementation period. The Kansas Department of Health and Environment submitted the Kansas SIP revision in July 2021. In August 2024, the EPA issued the final disapproval of the Kansas SIP revision for failing to conduct a four-factor analysis for at least two emission sources in Kansas. If a Kansas generating unit of the Evergy Companies is selected for analysis, the possibility exists that the state or the EPA, through a revised SIP or a FIP, could determine that additional operational or physical modifications are required on the generating unit to further reduce emissions.

In March 2025, the EPA announced it plans to restructure the Regional Haze Program, however no specific details of the planned restructuring have been provided. If a Kansas or Missouri revised SIP or FIP is finalized, the overall costs of implementing the rules could be material to the Evergy Companies.

Greenhouse Gases

Burning coal and other fossil fuels releases carbon dioxide (CO2) and other gases referred to as greenhouse gases (GHG). Various regulations under the CAA limit CO2 and other GHG emissions, and in addition, other measures

Table of Contents

are being imposed or offered by individual states, municipalities and regional agreements with the goal of reducing GHG emissions. In April 2024, the EPA finalized the GHG regulations and GHG guidelines that apply to new and existing fossil fuel fired EGUs. The final GHG regulation establishes CO2 limitations on emissions from new and reconstructed stationary combustion turbines. The GHG guidelines set CO2 emission limitations for existing coal, oil and gas-fired steam generating units. For new and reconstructed stationary combustion turbines, the emission limitations were developed by applying the Best System of Emission Reduction (BSER) to three distinct subcategories (low load, intermediate load and base load) taking into consideration the annual capacity factor of the stationary combustion turbine. For intermediate and base load stationary combustion turbines, BSER is assumed to be the utilization of highly efficient combustion turbine technology. Base load stationary combustion turbines are also required to consider the emissions reduction associated with the application of carbon capture and sequestration (CCS) beginning in 2032. For existing coal-fired EGUs, the emission limitations were established by applying the BSER to two subcategories (medium and long-term). For medium-term existing coal-fired units, which are units retiring between 2032 and 2038, the BSER established emission limitation is based on co-firing natural gas beginning in 2030. For units operating in 2039 and after, BSER is the application of CCS starting in 2032. In July 2024, the D.C. Circuit denied motions of stay filed by various states, industry and trade organizations; however, the D.C. Circuit has ordered expedited review of the challenges to the final regulations and guidelines. In December 2024, a three-judge panel of the D.C. Circuit heard oral arguments on challenges to the merits of the rule. In March 2025, the EPA announced it plans to reconsider the GHG regulation and guidelines by issuing a proposed reconsideration of the rule in spring 2025 and issuing final regulations by December 2025. While the EPA reconsiders the GHG regulation and guidelines, the D.C. Circuit granted an unopposed motion to hold the case challenging the merits of the rule in abeyance.

Due to uncertainty regarding the implementation of these final rules, ongoing judicial review and potential reconsideration of these rules, the Evergy Companies are unable to accurately assess the impacts on their operations or consolidated financial results, but the cost to comply could be material.

Regulation of Coal Combustion Residuals (CCRs)

In the course of operating their coal generation plants, the Evergy Companies produce CCRs, including fly ash, gypsum and bottom ash. The EPA published a rule to regulate CCRs in April 2015 that requires additional CCR handling, processing and storage equipment and closure of certain ash disposal units. In January 2022, the EPA published proposed determinations for facilities that filed closure extensions for unlined or clay-lined CCR units. These proposed determinations include various interpretations of the CCR regulations and compliance expectations that may impact all owners of CCR units. These interpretations could require modified compliance plans such as different methods of CCR unit closure. Additionally, more stringent remediation requirements for units that are in corrective action or forced to go into corrective action are possible. The cost to comply with these proposed determinations by the EPA could be material.

In April 2024, the EPA finalized an expansion to the CCR regulations focused on legacy surface impoundments and historic placements of CCR. This regulation expands applicability of the 2015 CCR regulation to inactive landfills and beneficial use sites not previously regulated. Litigation could impact the timing or cost to comply. In March 2025, the EPA announced its plans to update regulations of CCRs, however specific details of any planned revisions have not been provided.

The Evergy Companies have recorded asset retirement obligations (AROs) for their current estimates for the closure of ash disposal ponds and landfills and recorded additional ARO liabilities in the second quarter of 2024 related to the April 2024 CCR regulation. The revision of these AROs may be required in the future due to information collected in the April 2024 CCR regulation's Facility Evaluation Reports (FERs), changes in existing CCR regulations, the results of groundwater monitoring of CCR units or changes in interpretation of existing CCR regulations or changes in the timing or cost to close ash disposal ponds and landfills. The revision of AROs for regulated operations has no income statement impact due to the deferral of the adjustments through a regulatory asset. If revisions to these AROs are necessary, the impact on the Evergy Companies' operations or consolidated financial results could be material.

Montrose Station CCRs

In January 2025, two lawsuits, including one seeking class certification, were filed in the Circuit Court of Henry County, Missouri against Evergy Metro and two other defendants alleging unspecified damages resulting from the defendants' alleged unlawful and negligent spreading of CCRs associated with the Montrose Station coal ash landfill. Montrose Station was a coal-fired generating facility which was operated by Evergy Metro until its closure in 2018. The cases are at preliminary stages and Evergy and Evergy Metro are unable to assess the outcome or reasonably estimate any possible damages with respect to the claims. However, Evergy and Evergy Metro believe the claims are without merit and intend to vigorously defend themselves.

Evergy Kansas Central's 2025 Rate Case Proceeding

Missouri Legislation

In April 2025, Missouri S.B. 4 was signed into law by the Governor of Missouri. Most notably, S.B. 4 establishes new mechanisms for Missouri electric utilities to recover the costs associated with the construction of new natural gas-fired generating units. The utilities will be able to include certain costs of CWIP in rate base. The inclusion of CWIP will be in lieu of AFUDC applicable to the construction of the new natural gas-fired generating units. The MPSC will determine the amount of CWIP that may be included in rate base. Additionally, amounts collected arising from the inclusion of CWIP in rate base are subject to refund under certain circumstances. These provisions are scheduled to expire at the end of 2035.

Additionally, the law extends Missouri's existing PISA provisions to include certain natural gas-fired generating units as qualifying electric plant and extends the sunset date of these provisions through the end of 2035. These provisions allow electric utilities to defer to a regulatory asset for recovery in a subsequent general rate case 85% of depreciation expense and the associated return on investment for qualifying electric plant rate base additions for assets placed in-service between general rate cases.

Table of Contents

Kansas Legislation

In April 2025, Kansas H.B. 2107 was signed into law by the Governor of Kansas. Most notably, H.B. 2107 establishes a two-year statute of limitations for wildfire-related claims against a Kansas electric public utility and a $5.0 million limit for punitive damages awarded under a fire claim. The law also requires the plaintiff to establish the burden of proof for fire claims by a preponderance of evidence.

Natural Gas Plant Investments

The Evergy Companies use a triennial IRP, a detailed analysis that estimates factors that influence the future supply and demand for electricity, to inform the manner in which they supply electricity. The most recent IRPs incorporate the latest SPP resource adequacy requirements and anticipated load growth. Based on these and other factors, the IRP indicated the addition of new supply side resources, including combined and simple cycle natural gas plants, would be needed.

Additionally, Evergy Missouri West plans to construct a 440 MW simple-cycle natural gas plant located in Missouri. The plant is expected to begin operations in 2030.

In 2024, Evergy Kansas Central and Evergy Missouri West requested predetermination from the KCC and a CCN from the MPSC, respectively, for their planned natural gas investments. In April 2025, Evergy Kansas Central and intervenors in the case reached a non-unanimous partial settlement agreement regarding its investments in its planned natural gas plants. See "Applications for Predetermination" and "Requests for Certificate of Convenience and Necessity" in Note 4 to the consolidated financial statements for information regarding Evergy Kansas Central's and Evergy Missouri West's applications for predetermination and CCN for their investments in these natural gas plants.

Renewable Plant Investments

Evergy Kansas Central intends to construct and own an approximately 159 MW solar generation facility to be located in Kansas and called Kansas Sky. The solar generation facility is expected to begin operations by summer of 2027. The construction of Kansas Sky is subject to the granting by the KCC of predetermination with reasonably acceptable terms and other closing conditions. In April 2025, Evergy Kansas Central and intervenors in the case reached a unanimous partial settlement agreement regarding the Kansas Sky solar investment. See "Applications for Predetermination" in Note 4 to the consolidated financial statements for additional information regarding Evergy Kansas Central's application for predetermination for its investment in this renewable generating plant.

In 2024, Evergy Missouri West entered into agreements to own two solar generation facilities currently under development. The first facility, to be called Sunflower Sky, is a solar generation facility to be located in Kansas with an expected generating capacity of approximately 65 MW. The second facility, to be called Foxtrot, is a solar generation facility to be located in Missouri with an expected generating capacity of approximately 100 MW. The solar generation facilities are expected to begin operations by summer of 2027. The agreements are subject to regulatory approvals and closing conditions, including the granting by the MPSC of a CCN with reasonably acceptable terms. See "Requests for Certificate of Convenience and Necessity" in Note 4 to the consolidated financial statements for information regarding Evergy Missouri West's application for a CCN for its investment in this renewable generating plant.

The following table summarizes Evergy's net income and diluted EPS.



Three Months Ended March 31	2025		Change		2024
	(millions, except per share amounts)
Net income attributable to Evergy, Inc.	$	125.0	$	2.3	$	122.7
Earnings per common share, diluted	0.54		0.01		0.53

Net income attributable to Evergy, Inc. increased for the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared to the same period in 2024, primarily due to new Evergy Missouri West retail rates effective in January 2025, higher transmission revenues and retail sales driven by favorable weather; partially offset by higher interest and depreciation expense and lower investment earnings.

Diluted EPS increased for the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared to the same period in 2024, primarily due to the increase in net income attributable to Evergy, Inc. discussed above.

Non-GAAP Measures

Evergy Utility Gross Margin (non-GAAP)

Utility gross margin (non-GAAP) is a financial measure that is not calculated in accordance with GAAP. Utility gross margin (non-GAAP), as used by the Evergy Companies, is defined as operating revenues less fuel and purchased power costs and amounts billed by the SPP for network transmission costs. Expenses for fuel and purchased power costs, offset by wholesale sales margin, are subject to recovery through cost adjustment mechanisms. As a result, changes in fuel and purchased power costs are offset in operating revenues with minimal impact on net income. In addition, SPP network transmission costs fluctuate primarily due to investments by SPP members for upgrades to the transmission grid within the SPP RTO. As with fuel and purchased power costs, changes in SPP network transmission costs are mostly reflected in the prices charged to customers with minimal impact on net income. The Evergy Companies' definition of utility gross margin (non-GAAP) may differ from similar terms used by other companies.

Utility gross margin (non-GAAP) is intended to aid an investor's overall understanding of results. Management believes that utility gross margin (non-GAAP) provides a meaningful basis for evaluating the Evergy Companies' operations across periods because utility gross margin (non-GAAP) excludes the revenue effect of fluctuations in fuel and purchased power costs and SPP network transmission costs. Utility gross margin (non-GAAP) is used internally to measure performance against budget and in reports for management and the Evergy Board. Utility gross margin (non-GAAP) should be viewed as a supplement to, and not a substitute for, gross margin, which is the most directly comparable financial measure prepared in accordance with GAAP. Gross margin under GAAP is defined as the excess of sales over cost of goods sold.

Utility gross margin (non-GAAP) differs from the GAAP definition of gross margin due to the exclusion of operating and maintenance expenses determined to be directly attributable to revenue-producing activities, depreciation and amortization and taxes other than income tax. See the Evergy Companies' Results of Operations for a reconciliation of utility gross margin (non-GAAP) to gross margin, the most comparable GAAP measure.

Adjusted Earnings (non-GAAP) and Adjusted EPS (non-GAAP)

Management believes that adjusted earnings (non-GAAP) and adjusted EPS (non-GAAP) are representative measures of Evergy's recurring earnings, assists in the comparability of results and is consistent with how management reviews performance.

Evergy's adjusted earnings (non-GAAP) and adjusted EPS (non-GAAP) for the three months ended March 31, 2025 were $125.0 million or $0.54 per share. For the three months ended March 31, 2024, Evergy's adjusted earnings (non-GAAP) and adjusted EPS (non-GAAP) were $124.7 million or $0.54 per share.

Table of Contents

In addition to net income attributable to Evergy, Inc. and diluted EPS, Evergy's management uses adjusted earnings (non-GAAP) and adjusted EPS (non-GAAP) to evaluate earnings and EPS without the mark-to-market impacts of economic hedges related to Evergy Kansas Central's 8% ownership share of JEC.

Adjusted earnings (non-GAAP) and adjusted EPS (non-GAAP) are intended to aid an investor's overall understanding of results. Management believes that adjusted earnings (non-GAAP) provides a meaningful basis for evaluating Evergy's operations across periods because it excludes certain items that management does not believe are indicative of Evergy's ongoing performance or that can create period to period earnings volatility.

Adjusted earnings (non-GAAP) and adjusted EPS (non-GAAP) are used internally to measure performance against budget and in reports for management and the Evergy Board. Adjusted earnings (non-GAAP) and adjusted EPS (non-GAAP) are financial measures that are not calculated in accordance with GAAP and may not be comparable to other companies' presentations or more useful than the GAAP information provided elsewhere in this report.

The following table provides a reconciliation between net income attributable to Evergy, Inc. and diluted EPS as determined in accordance with GAAP and adjusted earnings (non-GAAP) and adjusted EPS (non-GAAP), respectively.

Evergy's gross margin (GAAP) increased $38.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared to the same period in 2024 and Evergy's utility gross margin (non-GAAP) increased $40.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared to the same period in 2024, both measures were driven by:

•a $23.5 million increase from new Evergy Missouri West retail rates effective in January 2025;

•an $18.6 million increase in transmission revenue primarily due to updated transmission costs reflected in Evergy Kansas Central's FERC TFR effective in January 2025; and

Depreciation and Amortization

Evergy's depreciation and amortization expense increased $12.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared to the same period in 2024, primarily due to capital additions.

Other Income (Expense), Net

Evergy's other income, net for the three months ended March 31, 2024 became other expense, net for the three months ended March 31, 2025 as a result of a $7.3 million increase in net other expense items, primarily driven by:

•a $5.2 million decrease due to recording lower Evergy Kansas Central corporate-owned life insurance (COLI) benefits in 2025; and

•a $3.2 million decrease in investment earnings primarily driven by a $3.9 million decrease due to unrealized losses from various equity investments.

Interest Expense

Evergy's interest expense increased $19.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared to the same period in 2024, primarily driven by:

•a $20.4 million increase due to issuances of long-term debt; and

•a $3.9 million increase due to lower debt AFUDC primarily due to lower short-term debt balances in 2025; partially offset by

•a $4.9 million decrease due to the repayment of long-term debt.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Evergy relies primarily upon cash from operations, short-term borrowings, long-term debt and equity and equity-like issuances and its existing cash and cash equivalents to fund its capital requirements. Evergy's capital requirements primarily consist of capital expenditures, payment of contractual obligations and other commitments, and the payment of dividends to shareholders. In addition, tax legislation and regulation could result in significant impacts to cash flow. Evergy expects cash flows to be sufficient to meet existing short-term capital requirements. See the Evergy Companies' combined 2024 Form 10-K for more information on Evergy's sources and uses of cash.

Short-Term Borrowings

As of March 31, 2025, Evergy had $1,502.7 million of available borrowing capacity under its master credit facility. The available borrowing capacity under the master credit facility consisted of $112.0 million for Evergy, Inc., $755.5 million for Evergy Kansas Central, $346.2 million for Evergy Metro and $289.0 million for Evergy Missouri West. The Evergy Companies' borrowing capacity under the master credit facility also supports their issuance of commercial paper. See Note 6 to the consolidated financial statements for more information regarding the master credit facility.

Along with cash flows from operations and receivable sales facilities, Evergy generally uses borrowings under its master credit facility and the issuance of commercial paper to meet its day-to-day cash flow requirements. Evergy may also utilize these short-term borrowings to repay maturing long-term debt until the long-term debt is able to be refinanced.

Significant Debt Issuances

See Note 7 to the consolidated financial statements for information regarding significant debt issuances.
