OGE Energy operates through its wholly-owned subsidiary, OG&E, which is the largest electric company in Oklahoma and also serves Fort Smith, Arkansas, and surrounding communities. OG&E's rates are regulated by the Oklahoma Corporation Commission, the Arkansas Public Service Commission, and the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission. OGE Energy exited its midstream business in 2022 after selling all equity securities of Energy Transfer.

OG&E contributed $120.1 million, or $0.58 per diluted share, driven by increased recovery of capital investments and lower interest expense. Annual net income rose from $441.5 million in 2024 to $470.7 million in 2025, with diluted EPS of $2.32 in 2025. Recent quarterly revenue was $736.7 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2026.

Strategy

Management targets consolidated EPS growth of five to seven percent through 2030, with EPS in the top half of the range in 2027 and 2028. The strategy focuses on strengthening the grid, maintaining low customer rates, expanding capacity to meet strong load growth, and investing in lower-risk infrastructure projects. OGE Energy plans to grow its dividend over the next five years, targeting a payout ratio of 60 to 70 percent, while maintaining investment grade credit ratings.

Risks

• Regulatory risk — Rates are subject to OCC, APSC and FERC regulation; adverse rate decisions could limit recovery of capital expenditures and operating costs.
• Environmental compliance costs — EPA regulations, including the Cross State Air Pollution Rule and Good Neighbor FIP, may require significant capital expenditures for emission controls or plant retirements.
• Weather and seasonality — Earnings are significantly seasonal and weather-dependent; abnormal weather could impact both revenue and operating costs.
• Capital markets and financing — The company relies on access to capital markets for infrastructure investments; unfavorable terms or availability could affect growth plans.

Outlook

Management reaffirmed 2026 consolidated earnings guidance of $2.43 per average diluted share, within a range of $2.38 to $2.48, assuming normal weather for the remainder of the year. The company is preparing to serve new large-load opportunities and support economic development in Oklahoma and Arkansas.
