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 2023 Form 10-K.

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).

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 (RSUs), restricted stock, 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	2024		2023
Income	(millions, except per share amounts)
Net income	$	125.8	$	145.7
Less: net income attributable to noncontrolling interests	3.1		3.1

Add: effect of dilutive securities	0.2		0.3
Diluted average number of common shares outstanding	230.4		230.3
Basic and Diluted EPS	$	0.53	$	0.62

Anti-dilutive securities excluded from the computation of diluted EPS for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023 were 3,950,000 common shares issuable pursuant to a warrant. Also, there was no dilution resulting from Evergy's convertible notes for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023.

Dividends Declared

In May 2024, Evergy's Board of Directors (Evergy Board) declared a quarterly dividend of $0.6425 per share on Evergy's common stock. The common dividend is payable on June 20, 2024, to shareholders of record as of May 20, 2024.

Retirement Benefits [Abstract]

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's (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.

For the three months ended March 31, 2024, Evergy, Evergy Kansas Central and Evergy Metro recorded no pension settlement charges. For the three months ended March 31, 2023, Evergy, Evergy Kansas Central and Evergy Metro recorded pension settlement (gains) losses of $(15.9) million, $0.4 million and $(16.3) million, respectively. These settlement charges were the result of accelerated distributions as a result of employee retirements for certain plan participants. Evergy, Evergy Kansas Central and Evergy Metro deferred substantially all of the charges to regulatory assets or regulatory liabilities and expect to recover these amounts over future periods pursuant to regulatory agreements.

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.

Debt Disclosure [Abstract]

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

Evergy's $2.5 billion master credit facility expires in 2027. 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 subject to upward or downward adjustments, within certain limitations, if Evergy achieves, or fails to achieve, certain sustainability-linked targets based on two key performance indicator metrics: (i) Non-Emitting Generation Capacity and (ii) Diverse Supplier Spend (as defined in the facility).

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 at all times. As of March 31, 2024, Evergy, Evergy Kansas Central, Evergy Metro and Evergy Missouri West were in compliance with this covenant.

VARIABLE INTEREST ENTITIES

Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]

VARIABLE INTEREST ENTITIES

In determining the primary beneficiary of a VIE, the Evergy Companies assess the entity's purpose and design, including the nature of the entity's activities and the risks that the entity was designed to create and pass through to its variable interest holders. A reporting enterprise is deemed to be the primary beneficiary of a VIE if it has (a) the power to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly impact the VIE's economic performance and (b) the obligation to absorb losses or right to receive benefits from the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE. The primary beneficiary of a VIE is required to consolidate the VIE.

All involvement with entities by the Evergy Companies is assessed to determine whether such entities are VIEs and, if so, whether or not the Evergy Companies are the primary beneficiaries of the entities. The Evergy Companies also continuously assess whether they are the primary beneficiary of the VIE with which they are involved. Prospective changes in facts and circumstances may cause identification of the primary beneficiary to be reconsidered.

Evergy Missouri West Storm Funding

In 2022, Evergy Missouri West created Evergy Missouri West Storm Funding solely for the purpose of recovering extraordinary fuel and purchased power costs incurred as part of the February 2021 winter weather event. In February 2024, Evergy Missouri West Storm Funding issued, at a discount, $331.1 million of 5.10% Securitized Bonds with a final payment scheduled for 2038, maturing in 2040. The obligations of Evergy Missouri West Storm Funding's Securitization Bonds are repaid through charges imposed on customers in Evergy Missouri West's service territory and collected by Evergy Missouri West on behalf of Evergy Missouri West Storm Funding. Creditors of Evergy Missouri West have no recourse to any assets or revenues of Evergy Missouri West Storm Funding, and the bondholders have no recourse to the general credit of Evergy Missouri West. See Note 4 for additional information regarding the February 2021 winter weather event securitization.

Evergy Missouri West Storm Funding is considered a VIE primarily because, as described above, Evergy Missouri West has the power to direct the activities of Evergy Missouri West Storm Funding that most significantly impact economic performance and Evergy Missouri West has the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits from Evergy Missouri West Storm Funding that could potentially be significant. Therefore, Evergy Missouri West is considered the primary beneficiary and consolidates Evergy Missouri West Storm Funding.

The following table summarizes the impact of Evergy Missouri West Storm Funding on Evergy's consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2024. There was no impact on Evergy's consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2023.

RATE MATTERS AND REGULATION	RATE MATTERS AND REGULATION State Corporation Commission of the State of Kansas (KCC) Proceedings Evergy Kansas Central 2024 Transmission Delivery Charge (TDC) In April 2024, 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 2024 and are expected to increase Evergy Kansas Central's annual retail revenues by $80.1 million when compared to 2023. Evergy Metro 2024 TDC In April 2024, 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 2024 and are expected to increase Evergy Metro's annual retail revenues by $7.1 million when compared to 2023. MPSC Proceedings Evergy Missouri West's 2024 Rate Case Proceeding In February 2024, Evergy Missouri West filed an application with the MPSC to request an increase to its retail revenues of approximately $104 million. Evergy Missouri West'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 inclusion of certain costs related to Dogwood and Crossroads Energy Center (Crossroads), two natural gas plants. An evidentiary hearing in the case is scheduled to occur beginning in late September 2024 and new rates are expected to be effective in January 2025. Evergy Missouri West February 2021 Winter Weather Event Securitization In February 2021, much of the central and southern United States, including the service territories of the Evergy Companies, experienced a significant winter weather event that resulted in extremely cold temperatures over a multi-day period (February 2021 winter weather event). In November 2022, the MPSC issued a revised financing order authorizing Evergy Missouri West to issue securitized bonds to recover its extraordinary fuel and purchased power costs incurred as part of the February 2021 winter weather event. As part of the order, the MPSC found that Evergy Missouri West's costs were prudently incurred, that it should only be allowed to recover 95% of its extraordinary fuel and purchased power costs consistent with the 5% sharing provision of its fuel recovery mechanism, that it should be allowed to recover carrying costs incurred since February 2021 at Evergy Missouri West's long-term debt rate of 5.06% and approved a 15 year repayment period for the bonds with a 17 year legal maturity. Evergy Missouri West continued to record carrying charges on its February 2021 winter weather event regulatory asset until it issued the securitized bonds in February 2024. See Note 7 for additional information regarding the issuance of the securitized bonds. 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 In the most recent two years, the updated TFR was expected to adjust Evergy Kansas Central's annual transmission revenues by approximately: •$115.8 million increase effective in January 2024; and •$21.7 million decrease effective in March 2023. See "Evergy Kansas Central TFR Formal Challenge" within this Note 4 for more information regarding the March 2023 adjustment. Evergy Kansas Central TFR Formal Challenge In March 2022, certain Evergy Kansas Central TFR customers submitted a formal challenge regarding the implementation of Evergy Kansas Central's TFR, specifically with regard to how Evergy Kansas Central's capital structure was calculated as part of determining the Annual Transmission Revenue Requirement (ATRR). As part of this challenge, the customers requested that Evergy Kansas Central make refunds for over-collections in rate years 2018 through 2022 as a result of the calculation of its capital structure included in the TFR. Evergy Kansas Central disputed that any refunds for 2018 through 2022 were required because Evergy Kansas Central was following its approved TFR formula. In December 2022, FERC issued an order addressing the challenge to the 2020 through 2022 over-collections which were refunded to customers as part of Evergy Kansas Central's 2023 TFR effective in March 2023. In February 2023, certain Evergy Kansas Central TFR customers submitted a formal complaint with FERC requesting the refund of over-collections related to the 2018 and 2019 rate years. As of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, Evergy and Evergy Kansas Central had recorded a $7.1 million regulatory liability related to the 2018 and 2019 rate year refund request. A decision from FERC regarding this complaint is expected in 2024. Evergy Metro TFR Annual Update In the most recent two years, the updated TFR was expected to adjust Evergy Metro's annual transmission revenues by approximately: •$23.7 million increase effective in January 2024; and •$8.6 million increase effective in January 2023.

- Definition

Tabular disclosure of the significant judgments and assumptions made in determining whether a variable interest (as defined) held by the entity requires the variable interest entity (VIE) (as defined) to be consolidated and (or) disclose information about its involvement with the VIE, individually or in aggregate (as applicable); the nature of restrictions, if any, on the consolidated VIE's assets and on the settlement of its liabilities reported by an entity in its statement of financial position, including the carrying amounts of such assets and liabilities; the nature of, and changes in, the risks associated with involvement in the VIE; how involvement with the VIE affects the entity's financial position, financial performance, and cash flows; the lack of recourse if creditors (or beneficial interest holders) of the consolidated VIE have no recourse to the general credit of the primary beneficiary (if applicable); the terms of arrangements, giving consideration to both explicit arrangements and implicit variable interests, if any, that could require the entity to provide financial support to the VIE, including events or circumstances that could expose the entity to a loss; the methodology used by the entity for determining whether or not it is the primary beneficiary of the variable interest entity; the significant factors considered and judgments made in determining that the power to direct the activities of a VIE that most significantly impact the VIE's economic performance are shared (as defined); the carrying amounts and classification of assets and liabilities of the VIE included in the statement of financial position; the entity's maximum exposure to loss, if any, as a result of its involvement with the VIE, including how the maximum exposure is determined and significant sources of the entity's exposure to the VIE; a comparison of the carrying amounts of the assets and liabilities and the entity's maximum exposure to loss; information about any liquidity arrangements, guarantees, and (or) other commitments by third parties that may affect the fair value or risk of the entity's variable interest in the VIE; whether or not the entity has provided financial support or other support (explicitly or implicitly) to the VIE that it was not previously contractually required to provide or whether the entity intends to provide that support, including the type and amount of the support and the primary reasons for providing the support; and supplemental information the entity determines necessary to provide.

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]

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 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.

COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES	Mar. 31, 2024
Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract]
COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES	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 imposition of remedial requirements. The Evergy Companies believe that all of 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. Mercury and Air Toxics Standards (MATS) In April 2024, the EPA finalized a rule to tighten certain aspects of the MATS rule. The EPA is lowering the emission limit for particulate matter (PM), requiring the use of PM continuous emissions monitors (CEMS) and lowering the mercury emission limit for lignite coal-fired electric generating units (EGUs). The Evergy Companies are in the process of reviewing the details of the final rule, however, the cost to comply does not appear to be material. Ozone Interstate Transport State Implementation Plans (ITSIP) In 2015, the EPA lowered the Ozone National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS) from 75 ppb to 70 ppb. Impacted states were required to submit ITSIPs in 2018 to comply with the "Good Neighbor Provision" of the Clean Air Act (CAA). The EPA did not act on these ITSIP submissions by the deadline established in the CAA and entered consent decrees establishing deadlines 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 a final 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 19 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. Courts of Appeals for the Eighth and Tenth Circuits, 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. 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 Evergy Companies are in the process of reviewing this proposed disapproval of the Kansas ITSIP; however, the impact on the Evergy Companies' operations could be material. 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 26 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 electric generating units (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 includes 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 Clean Air Act to impose an ITFIP on a state for which 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. If finalized, the ITFIP for Kansas would become effective for the 2025 ozone season beginning in May 2025. The Evergy Companies are in the process of reviewing the details of this proposal; however, 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. The Evergy Companies are in the process of reviewing this final rule, however, due to uncertainty regarding the long-term implementation of this final rule, 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 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. The Kansas SIP revision requested no 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 (KDHE) submitted the Kansas SIP revision in July 2021. In January 2024, the EPA issued a proposal to disapprove 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. The overall cost of those modifications 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 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. The Evergy Companies are in the process of reviewing the final GHG regulation and guidelines however, due to uncertainty regarding the implementation of these final 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. Water The Evergy Companies discharge some of the water used in generation and other operations containing substances deemed to be pollutants. In April 2024, the EPA finalized an update to the ELG to address the vacated limitations and prior reviews of the existing rule by the current administration. Flue Gas Desulfurization (FGD) wastewater, bottom ash transport wastewater (BATW), coal residual leachate (CRL), and legacy wastewater are addressed in the rulemaking. FGD, BATW and CRL at operating facilities are required to achieve zero liquid discharge as soon as feasible and no later than December 2029. The Evergy Companies have reviewed the modifications to limitations on FGD wastewater and bottom ash transport water and the Evergy Companies do not believe the impact to be material. The Evergy Companies are reviewing the limitations on CRL, its impact on their operations and financial results and believe 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. In April 2022, the Utility Solid Waste Activities Group (USWAG) and other interested parties filed similar petitions in the D.C. Circuit challenging the EPA's legal positions regarding the CCR rule determinations proposed in January 2022. 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 regulation focused on legacy surface impoundments and historic placements of CCR. This regulation expands applicability of the 2015 CCR regulation to two newly defined types of CCR disposal units. The Evergy Companies are reviewing the final regulation and anticipate having additional CCR units requiring evaluation and potential remediation. The cost to comply with this regulation by the EPA could be material. The Evergy Companies have recorded asset retirement obligations (AROs) for their current estimates for the closure of ash disposal ponds and landfills, but the revision of these AROs may be required in the future due to 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.

DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Disclosure [Abstract]

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 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 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, 2024, if counterparty groups completely failed to perform on contracts, Evergy's and Evergy Kansas Central's maximum exposure related to derivative assets was $36.4 million. As of March 31, 2024, the potential loss after the consideration of applicable master netting arrangements and collateral received for Evergy and Evergy Kansas Central was $29.4 million.
