share, compared to GAAP earnings of $880&nbsp;million, or $3.83 per share, for the full year 2021. Fourth quarter 2022 GAAP earnings were $7.5&nbsp;million, or $0.03 per share, compared to earnings of $53.4&nbsp;million, or $0.23 per share, for the
fourth quarter of 2021. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Evergy&#146;s full year 2022 adjusted earnings <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">(non-GAAP)</FONT> and adjusted earnings per share
<FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">(non-GAAP)</FONT> were $854&nbsp;million and $3.71, respectively, compared to $795&nbsp;million and $3.46 in 2021, resulting in a 7.2% year-over-year increase, and a 12.4% increase over the $3.30 midpoint of the

<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">For the year, adjusted earnings <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">(non-GAAP)</FONT> per share were driven by higher weather-normalized demand, favorable
weather, and higher transmission margin, partially offset by higher depreciation and amortization expense and higher interest expense. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">&#147;We are
pleased with our strong results in 2022, exceeding the top end of our earnings per share guidance range while continuing to advance our objectives of affordability, reliability, and sustainability,&#148; said David Campbell, Evergy president and
chief executive officer. &#147;We&#146;re proud of our ongoing improvements in employee safety and customer satisfaction. In 2023, we look forward to working with Kansas regulators and stakeholders on our first general rate reviews since
Evergy&#146;s formation in 2018. We remain laser-focused on our culture of operational excellence that has provided significant savings to our customers and communities.&#148; </P>
