OG&E contributed net income of $107.7 million, or $0.53 per diluted share, in the second quarter compared to $109.3 million, or $0.54 per diluted share, in the same period 2024. The decrease in net income was primarily due to milder weather compared to last year and higher interest and depreciation expense on a growing asset base, partially offset by increased recovery of capital investments, higher weather-normalized load, and lower operation and maintenance expense.

Other Operations resulted in a loss of $0.2 million in the second quarter compared to a loss of $7.0 million, or $0.03 per diluted share, in the same period 2024. The decrease in net loss was primarily due to a one-time benefit related to legacy midstream operations.

2025 Outlook

OGE Energy's 2025 consolidated earnings guidance remains projected to be within a range of $2.21 to $2.33 per average diluted share. Due to year-to-date performance and continued strong economic growth in Oklahoma and Arkansas, OGE Energy's consolidated earnings are expected to be in the top half of its 2025 earnings guidance range. This guidance assumes, among other things, normal weather for the remainder of the year. OG&E has significant seasonality in its earnings due to weather on a year-over-year basis. See OGE Energy's 2024 Form 10-K for other key factors and assumptions underlying its 2025 guidance.
