Second Quarter Comparative Results
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
($ millions, except per share amounts) | | 2023 | | | 2022 | | | Change | |
Net Income/(Loss) | | | $255 | | | | $(174) | | | | $429 | |
Net Income/(Loss) Per Share (EPS) | | | $0.51 | | | | $(0.35) | | | | $0.86 | |
Non-GAAP Operating Earnings | | | $10 | | | | $15 | | | | $(5) | |
Non-GAAP Operating EPS | | | $0.02 | | | | $0.03 | | | | $(0.01) | |
PSEG Power & Other results for the second quarter of 2023 reflect higher interest expense and lower pension income and OPEB credits, partly offset by a slight improvement in PSEG Power margins compared to the second quarter of 2022.
The full-year 2023 forecast for PSEG Power & Other non-GAAP Operating Earnings is unchanged at $200 million - $225 million. Upon completion of the pension “lift-out,” we anticipate taking a one time, non-cash settlement charge in the range of $225 million to $260 million, net of tax in the third quarter of 2023 related to the immediate recognition of unamortized net actuarial loss associated with the portion of the pension involved in the transaction. This charge is not expected to impact full-year 2023, non-GAAP Operating Earnings guidance for PSEG, PSE&G or PSEG Power & Other.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Management uses non-GAAP Operating Earnings in its internal analysis, and in communications with investors and analysts, as a consistent measure for comparing PSEG’s financial performance to previous financial results. Non-GAAP Operating Earnings exclude the impact of gains (losses) associated with the Nuclear Decommissioning Trust (NDT), Mark-to-Market (MTM) accounting and material one-time items.
See Attachments 8 and 9 for a complete list of items excluded from Net Income/(Loss) in the determination of non-GAAP Operating Earnings. The presentation of non-GAAP Operating Earnings is intended to complement, and should not be considered an alternative to the presentation of Net Income/(Loss), which is an indicator of financial performance determined in accordance with GAAP. In addition, non-GAAP Operating Earnings as presented in this release may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies.
Due to the forward-looking nature of non-GAAP Operating Earnings guidance, PSEG is unable to reconcile this non-GAAP financial measure to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure because comparable GAAP measures are not reasonably accessible or reliable due to the inherent difficulty in forecasting and quantifying measures that would be required for such reconciliation. Namely, we are not able to reliably project without unreasonable effort MTM and NDT gains (losses), for future periods due to market volatility. These items are uncertain, depend on various factors, and may have a material impact on our future GAAP results.
