November&nbsp;7, 2023 &#150; Evergy, Inc. (NASDAQ: EVRG) today announced third quarter 2023 GAAP earnings of $351.6&nbsp;million, or $1.53 per share, compared to GAAP earnings of $428.2&nbsp;million, or $1.86 per share, for third quarter 2022. </P>

STYLE="white-space:nowrap">(non-GAAP)</FONT> were $432.3&nbsp;million and $1.88, respectively, compared to $460.8&nbsp;million and $2.00 in 2022. Adjusted earnings <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">(non-GAAP)</FONT> and adjusted earnings per share <FONT

earnings <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">(non-GAAP)</FONT> per share were driven by lower operations and maintenance expense, higher corporate owned life insurance proceeds, and tax items offset by unfavorable weather compared to the corresponding
period in the prior year, lower weather-normalized demand, 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 reached an
important milestone in the third quarter in announcing a unanimous settlement agreement in our Kansas rate cases, which, if approved by the Kansas Corporation Commission (KCC), will deliver significant savings back to our customers and advance
regional rate competitiveness,&#148; said David Campbell, Evergy president and chief executive officer. &#147;We are narrowing our 2023 adjusted earnings per share guidance range to $3.55 to $3.65 from $3.55 to $3.75 and establishing a long-term
growth target of 4% to 6% off the original 2023 midpoint of $3.65. As we look ahead, we remain focused on operational and financial execution and advancing constructive regulatory policies. Constructive and competitive regulatory frameworks are
crucial to our ability to compete for capital that funds our investment programs, which are essential to our ability to support economic development, reliability, and affordability in Kansas and Missouri.&#148; </P>
