FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

NextEra Energy reports first-quarter 2022 financial results
NextEra Energy delivers strong first quarter
FPL continues to focus on delivering clean energy solutions for its customers and an outstanding value proposition of low bills, high reliability and outstanding customer service
FPL completes 2022 solar build on time and within budget
NextEra Energy Resources has another strong quarter of renewables and storage origination, adding approximately 1,770 net megawatts to its backlog

JUNO BEACH, Fla. - NextEra Energy, Inc. (NYSE: NEE) today reported 2022 first-quarter net loss attributable to NextEra Energy on a GAAP basis of $451 million, or $0.23 per share, compared to net income attributable to NextEra Energy of $1,666 million, or $0.84 per share, for the first quarter of 2021. On an adjusted basis, NextEra Energy's 2022 first-quarter earnings were $1,455 million, or $0.74 per share, compared to $1,330 million, or $0.67 per share, in the first quarter of 2021.

Adjusted earnings for these periods exclude the effects of non-qualifying hedges; NextEra Energy Partners, LP net investment gains; differential membership interests-related; change in unrealized gains and losses on equity securities held in NextEra Energy Resources' nuclear decommissioning funds and other than temporary impairments (OTTI); and an impairment charge.

NextEra Energy's management uses adjusted earnings, which is a non-GAAP financial measure, internally for financial planning, analysis of performance, reporting of results to the board of directors and as an input in determining performance-based compensation under the company's employee incentive compensation plans. NextEra Energy also uses earnings expressed in this fashion when communicating its financial results and earnings outlook to analysts and investors. NextEra Energy's management believes that adjusted earnings provide a more meaningful representation of NextEra Energy's fundamental earnings power. A reconciliation of historical adjusted earnings to net income (loss) attributable to NextEra Energy, which is the most directly comparable GAAP measure, is included in the attachments to this news release.

Florida Power & Light Company completed the regulatory integration of Gulf Power Company under its 2021 base rate settlement agreement and began serving customers under unified rates on Jan. 1, 2022. As a result, Gulf Power will no longer continue as a separate reporting segment within Florida Power & Light and NextEra Energy. For 2022 and beyond, FPL has one reporting segment and, therefore, 2021 financial results and other operational metrics have been restated for comparative purposes.

"NextEra Energy is off to a solid start to meet our overall objectives for the year, delivering strong first-quarter adjusted earnings per share growth of 10.4% year-over-year," said John Ketchum, president and chief executive officer of NextEra Energy. "FPL had a terrific quarter of execution, making smart capital investments and delivering operational efficiencies. During the quarter, FPL placed in service
1


approximately 450 megawatts of additional cost-effective solar projects and now owns and operates more than 3,600 megawatts of solar, which is the largest solar portfolio of any utility in the country. Florida's economic strength and the rapid growth in FPL's customer base bolsters the company's confidence in its disciplined investment strategy. NextEra Energy Resources had another strong quarter of renewables and storage origination, adding approximately 1,770 net megawatts to its backlog since the release of our fourth-quarter and full-year 2021 financial results in January. Our continued origination success is reflective of our ability to continue leveraging our competitive advantages to deliver clean energy solutions to meet our customers' ongoing demand for low-cost renewables and storage. We remain confident in the long-term growth prospects for NextEra Energy and our underlying core businesses, and we will be disappointed if we are not able to deliver financial results at or near the top end of our adjusted earnings per share expectations ranges in each of 2022, 2023, 2024 and 2025. We remain intensely focused on execution and believe NextEra Energy remains uniquely positioned to drive long-term shareholder value."

FPL
FPL reported first-quarter 2022 net income of $875 million, or $0.44 per share, compared to $777 million, or $0.39 per share, for the prior-year comparable quarter. As America's largest electric utility, FPL sells more power than any other utility, providing clean, affordable, reliable electricity to more than 5.7 million customer accounts, or more than 12 million people across Florida.

FPL's growth over the prior-year comparable quarter was primarily driven by continued investment in the business. FPL's capital expenditures were approximately $2.2 billion for the first quarter of 2022 and full-year capital investments are expected to be between $7.9 billion and $8.3 billion. Regulatory capital employed increased by approximately 11.3% over the same quarter last year. FPL's average number of customers increased by more than 91,000 from the prior-year comparable quarter.

During the quarter, FPL successfully executed on its strategic initiatives, including placing in service approximately 450 megawatts (MW) of additional cost-effective solar projects to be recovered through base rates as part of its new four-year settlement agreement that became effective on Jan. 1, 2022. As a result, FPL has now completed, on time and within budget, all of its planned solar build with 2022 in-service dates.
Additionally, FPL's other major capital investments, including the North Florida Resiliency Connection and highly efficient approximately 1,200-MW Dania Beach Clean Energy Center, are progressing well for completion later this year. By executing on smart capital investments such as these and running the business efficiently, FPL is able to maintain its best-in-class customer value proposition of clean energy, low bills, high reliability and outstanding customer service.

Earlier this month, FPL filed its annual updated Ten-Year Site Plan with the Florida Public Service Commission (PSC), which included plans for roughly 9,500 MW of additional cost-effective solar projects across the FPL service territory over the next 10 years. This planned solar build-out includes nearly 1,200 MW of base rate solar projects, inclusive of the approximately 450 MW placed in service during the first quarter, that FPL plans to build over the next two years. In addition, it includes approximately 1,800 MW under the Solar Base Rate Adjustment (SoBRA) mechanism of FPL's settlement agreement, 1,800 MW of SolarTogether community solar projects that FPL expects to construct over the next four years, as well as roughly 4,700 MW of additional solar after 2025, subject to approval by the PSC. When this plan is completed, FPL expects that nearly 20% of its forecasted energy delivery in 2031 will come from solar generation, reflecting an approximately 65% increase, as compared to current levels, in zero-carbon-emissions electricity produced by the FPL system over the next decade.

NextEra Energy Resources
NextEra Energy Resources, the competitive clean energy business of NextEra Energy, reported a first-quarter 2022 net loss attributable to NextEra Energy on a GAAP basis of $1,499 million, or $0.76 per share, compared to net income attributable to NextEra Energy of $491 million, or $0.25 per share, in the prior-year quarter. On an adjusted basis, NextEra Energy Resources' earnings for the first quarter of 2022
2


were $628 million, or $0.32 per share, compared to $598 million, or $0.30 per share, for the first quarter of 2021.

NextEra Energy Resources delivered another strong quarter of renewables and storage origination, adding approximately 1,770 net MW to its backlog. Since the release of the fourth-quarter and full-year 2021 financial results in January, NextEra Energy Resources added approximately 1,200 net MW of new wind projects for 2022, 2023 and 2024 commercial operations dates to its backlog. NextEra Energy Resources' backlog additions also include approximately 440 MW of solar projects and approximately 130 MW of battery storage projects.

Also during the first quarter, NextEra Energy Transmission, along with its partners, completed the construction of the East-West Tie Transmission Line Project. The 450-kilometer, 230-kilovolt transmission line runs from Wawa to Thunder Bay, Ontario, and is expected to address long-standing regional transmission constraints, thereby increasing much-needed access to energy to support new economic growth in the region for years to come.

NextEra Energy Resources' first-quarter 2022 adjusted results exclude a charge associated with its investment in Mountain Valley Pipeline. Due to the current legal and regulatory challenges involved with the pipeline investment, as well as the substantial delays in reaching commercial operation and increased costs associated with those delays, the business recorded an impairment charge of approximately $600 million on an after-tax basis, primarily to completely write off NextEra Energy Resources' equity method investment carrying amount.

Corporate and Other
In the first quarter of 2022 on a GAAP basis, Corporate and Other results decreased $0.11 per share, compared to the prior-year quarter. On an adjusted basis, Corporate and Other results for the first quarter of 2022 were roughly flat, compared to the prior-year quarter.

Outlook
NextEra Energy's long-term financial expectations remain unchanged. For 2022, NextEra Energy continues to expect adjusted earnings per share to be in the range of $2.75 to $2.85. For 2023 through 2025, NextEra Energy expects to grow roughly 6% to 8% per year off the expected 2022 adjusted earnings per share. For 2023 through 2025, this translates to adjusted earnings per share ranges for NextEra Energy of $2.93 to $3.08, $3.13 to $3.33 and $3.35 to $3.60, respectively.

NextEra Energy's adjusted earnings expectations exclude the cumulative effect of adopting new accounting standards; the effects of non-qualifying hedges and unrealized gains and losses on equity securities held in NextEra Energy Resources, LLC's nuclear decommissioning funds and other than temporary impairments, none of which can be determined at this time. Adjusted earnings expectations also exclude the effects of NextEra Energy Partners, LP net investment gains, differential membership interests-related and an impairment charge and ongoing costs related to NextEra Energy's investment in Mountain Valley Pipeline, LLC. In addition, adjusted earnings expectations assume, among other things, normal weather and operating conditions; positive macroeconomic conditions in the U.S. and Florida; supportive commodity markets; current forward curves; public policy support for wind and solar development and construction; market demand and transmission expansion to support wind and solar development; market demand for pipeline capacity; access to capital at reasonable cost and terms; divestitures to NextEra Energy Partners, LP; no acquisitions; no adverse litigation decisions; and no changes to governmental policies or incentives. Please see the accompanying cautionary statements for a list of the risk factors that may affect future results.
