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 2022 Form 10-K.

Table of Contents
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 variable interest entities (VIEs) of which they are the primary beneficiary. Undivided interests in jointly-owned generation facilities are included on a proportionate basis.  Intercompany transactions have been eliminated.

Earnings Per Share
To compute basic earnings per 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 and a warrant. Evergy computes the dilutive effects of potential issuances of common shares using the treasury stock method or the contingently issuable share method, as applicable.

The following table reconciles Evergy's basic and diluted EPS.

Renewable Generation Investment
In August 2022, Evergy Missouri West entered into an agreement with a renewable energy development company to purchase Persimmon Creek Wind Farm 1, LLC (Persimmon Creek), an operational wind farm located in the state of Oklahoma with a generating capacity of approximately 199 MW, for approximately $250 million. Pursuant to the agreement, Evergy Missouri West was permitted to assign its right to purchase Persimmon Creek to another entity, including to other Evergy affiliated companies.

Evergy Missouri West's purchase was subject to regulatory approvals and closing conditions, including the granting of a Certificate of Convenience and Necessity (CCN) by the Public Service Commission of the State of Missouri (MPSC). In April 2023, the MPSC issued a final order granting the CCN pursuant to certain conditions related to the sharing of operational costs between ratepayers and shareholders. In May 2023, Evergy Missouri West assigned its right to purchase Persimmon Creek to Evergy Kansas Central and Evergy Kansas Central closed on the purchase of Persimmon Creek for $220.9 million, including costs incidental to the purchase of the plant. Evergy Kansas Central included the purchase of Persimmon Creek in its rate case application to the State Corporation Commission of the State of Kansas (KCC) which was filed in April 2023. The addition of Persimmon Creek is consistent with the preferred plan identified through Evergy Kansas Central’s integrated resource plan filed with the KCC in June 2023, which identified it as part of the lowest-cost resource plan to serve customers. See Note 4 for additional information on Evergy Kansas Central's rate case proceeding.

4. RATE MATTERS AND REGULATION
KCC Proceedings
Evergy Kansas Central's and Evergy Metro's 2023 Rate Case Proceeding
In April 2023, Evergy Kansas Central and Evergy Metro filed applications with the KCC to request increases to their retail revenues of approximately $204 million and $14 million, respectively. Evergy Kansas Central's request reflects a return on equity of 10.25% (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, the inclusion of Evergy Kansas Central's non-regulated 8% of Jeffrey Energy Center (JEC) in rate base and the management of the previously established end to a corporate-owned life insurance program. Evergy Kansas Central is also requesting the inclusion of the cost of Persimmon Creek of approximately $220.9 million. The cost of Persimmon Creek is not included in Evergy Kansas Central's approximately $204 million increase to retail revenue requested in the case but if approved by the KCC, the cost of Persimmon Creek would result in an additional $21.5 million increase to Evergy Kansas Central's retail revenues. The addition of Persimmon Creek is consistent with the preferred plan identified through Evergy Kansas Central's integrated resource plan filed with the KCC in June 2023, which identified it as part of the lowest-cost resource plan to serve customers. Evergy Metro's request reflects a return on equity of 10.25% (with a capital structure composed of 52% equity) and increases related to recovery of infrastructure investments made to improve reliability and enhance customer service. Requests for increases in retail revenues in both proceedings are partially offset by significant customer savings and cost reductions. New rates are expected to be effective in December 2023.
Evergy Kansas Central 2023 Transmission Delivery Charge (TDC)
In April 2023, 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 were effective in May 2023 and include the adjustments to the 2023 TFR described under "Evergy Kansas Central TFR Formal Challenge" within this Note 4. The new prices are expected to decrease Evergy Kansas Central's annual retail revenues by $22.3 million when compared to 2022.
Evergy Metro 2023 TDC
In April 2023, 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 were effective in May 2023 and are expected to increase Evergy Metro's annual retail revenues by $4.0 million when compared to 2022.
Evergy Kansas Central and Evergy Metro Earnings Review and Sharing Plan (ERSP)
As part of their merger settlement agreement with the KCC, Evergy Kansas Central and Evergy Metro agreed to participate in an ERSP for the years 2019 through 2022. Under the ERSP, Evergy Kansas Central's and Evergy Metro's Kansas jurisdiction are required to refund to customers 50% of annual earnings in excess of their authorized return on equity of 9.3% to the extent the excess earnings exceed the amount of annual bill credits that Evergy Kansas Central and Evergy Metro agreed to provide in connection with the merger that resulted in the formation of Evergy.
Evergy Kansas Central estimates its 2022 annual earnings did not result in a refund obligation. As of December 31, 2022, Evergy Metro estimated that its 2022 annual earnings resulted in a $16.7 million refund obligation, which was recorded in the fourth quarter of 2022. Evergy Kansas Central and Evergy Metro filed their 2022 ERSP calculations with the KCC in March 2023. As part of these filings, Evergy Metro filed for a lower refund obligation for 2022 of approximately $6 million (compared with its $16.7 million refund obligation estimate) as a result of certain intercompany billings to Evergy Kansas Central. In May 2023, the KCC approved Evergy Metro's application ordering it to refund approximately $6 million.

MPSC Proceedings
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. As of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the value of Evergy Missouri West's February 2021 winter weather event regulatory asset was $316.6 million and $309.0 million, respectively. Evergy Missouri West will continue to record carrying charges on its February 2021 winter weather event regulatory asset until it issues the securitized bonds.
In January 2023, the Office of the Public Counsel (OPC) filed an appeal with the Missouri Court of Appeals, Western District, challenging the financing order regarding the treatment of income tax deductions, carrying costs and discount rates related to the financing of the extraordinary fuel and purchased power costs incurred as part of the February 2021 winter weather event. A final nonappealable financing order is required prior to the issuance of securitized bonds. With oral arguments scheduled for September 2023, a decision by the Missouri Court of Appeals, Western District, is currently expected in the second half of 2023, though the timeline for the decision is uncertain.
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:
•$21.7 million decrease effective in March 2023; and
•$33.2 million increase effective in January 2022.
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 regards 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, 2019, 2020, 2021 and 2022 as a result of the calculation of its capital structure included in the TFR. Evergy Kansas Central disputed that any refunds for 2018 - 2022 were required as Evergy Kansas Central was following its approved TFR formula.
In December 2022, FERC issued an order upholding in part, and denying in part, the formal challenge of Evergy Kansas Central's TFR by certain customers. As a result of this order, Evergy and Evergy Kansas Central recorded a $32.8 million regulatory liability on their consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2022 for the estimated refund of TFR revenue over-collections related to the calculation of Evergy Kansas Central's capital structure for rate years 2018 - 2022.
33

Table of Contents
In March 2023, Evergy Kansas Central refiled its annual update to include the refund of the 2020, 2021 and 2022 over-collections as part of its 2023 TFR effective in March 2023. In February 2023, certain Evergy Kansas Central TFR customers submitted a formal challenge requesting the refund of over-collections related to the 2018 and 2019 over-collections. A decision from FERC regarding this challenge is expected later in 2023.
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:
•$8.6 million increase effective in January 2023; and
•$18.1 million increase effective in January 2022.
5. GOODWILL
GAAP requires goodwill to be tested for impairment annually and when an event occurs indicating the possibility that an impairment exists. Evergy's impairment test for the $2,336.6 million of goodwill that was recorded as a result of the Great Plains Energy and Evergy Kansas Central merger was conducted as of May 1, 2023. The goodwill impairment test consists of comparing the fair value of a reporting unit to its carrying amount, including goodwill, to identify potential impairment. In the event that the carrying amount exceeds the fair value of the reporting unit, an impairment loss is recognized for the difference between the carrying amount of the reporting unit and its fair value. Evergy's consolidated operations are considered one reporting unit for assessment of impairment, as management assesses financial performance and allocates resources on a consolidated basis. The determination of fair value of the reporting unit consisted of two valuation techniques: an income approach consisting of a discounted cash flow analysis and a market approach consisting of a determination of reporting unit invested capital using a market multiple derived from the historical earnings before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization and market prices of the stock of peer companies. The results of the two techniques were evaluated and weighted to determine a point within the range that management considered representative of fair value for the reporting unit. The fair value of the reporting unit exceeded the carrying amount, including goodwill. As a result, there was no impairment of goodwill.
6. 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.

7. SHORT-TERM BORROWINGS AND SHORT-TERM BANK LINES OF CREDIT
In June 2023, the Evergy Companies extended the expiration date of their $2.5 billion master credit facility from 2026 to 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 June 30, 2023, Evergy, Evergy Kansas Central, Evergy Metro and Evergy Missouri West were in compliance with this covenant.

In February 2023, Evergy, Inc. amended a $500.0 million unsecured Term Loan Credit Agreement (Term Loan Facility) that originally expired in February 2023 to extend the expiration date to February 2024. As a result of the amendment, Evergy, Inc. demonstrated its intent and ability to refinance the Term Loan Facility and reflected this $500.0 million borrowing within long-term debt, net, on Evergy's consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2022. As of June 30, 2023, Evergy had borrowed $500.0 million under the Term Loan Facility that is reflected within notes payable and commercial paper on Evergy's consolidated balance sheet. Evergy's borrowings under the Term Loan Facility were used for, among other things, working capital, capital expenditures and general corporate purposes.
The weighted average interest rate for borrowings under the Term Loan Facility as of June 30, 2023, was 6.23%. The Term Loan Facility contains customary covenants, including one that sets the ratio of maximum allowed total indebtedness to total capitalization of not greater than 0.65 to 1.00, for Evergy and its subsidiaries on a consolidated basis. As of June 30, 2023, Evergy was in compliance with this covenant.

9. 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 10 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).

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 June 30, 2023, if counterparty groups completely failed to perform on contracts, Evergy's and Evergy Kansas Central's maximum exposure related to derivative assets was $41.6 million. As of June 30, 2023, the potential loss after the consideration of applicable master netting arrangements and collateral received for Evergy and Evergy Kansas Central was $29.4 million.
Certain of the Evergy Companies' derivative instruments contain collateral provisions that are tied to the Evergy Companies' credit ratings and may require the posting of collateral for various reasons, including if the Evergy Companies' credit ratings were to fall below investment grade. Substantially all of these derivative instruments relate to Evergy Kansas Central's non-regulated energy marketing activities. The aggregate fair value of all derivative instruments with credit-risk-related contingent features that were in a liability position as of June 30, 2023, was $34.9 million for which Evergy and Evergy Kansas Central have posted collateral of $1.1 million in the normal course of business. If the credit-risk-related contingent features underlying these agreements were triggered as of June 30, 2023, Evergy and Evergy Kansas Central could be required to post an additional $32.8 million of collateral to their counterparties.

10. 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 and long-term debt of variable interest entities is summarized in the following table.

11. 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.
Clean Air Act - Startup, Shutdown and Malfunction (SSM) Regulation
In 2015, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) issued a final rule addressing how state implementation plans (SIPs) can treat excess emissions during SSM events. This rule was referred to as the 2015 SIP Call Rule. The rule required 36 states to submit SIP revisions by November 2016 to remove certain exemptions and other discretionary enforcement provisions that apply to excess emissions during SSM events. Legal challenges ensued and the case was eventually placed in abeyance. In December 2021, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit (D.C. Circuit) restarted the litigation and oral arguments were held in March 2022. An additional case was also taking place in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California (District Court of Northern California) and in June 2022, the District Court of Northern California entered a final consent decree establishing deadlines for the EPA to take final action on SIP revisions that were submitted in response to the 2015 SIP Call Rule. Deadlines for 26 states and air districts, including Kansas, Missouri and Oklahoma, are listed in the final consent decree. Final action from the EPA could result in required SIP revisions in Oklahoma, Kansas and Missouri which could have a material impact on the Evergy Companies. If the D.C. Circuit overturns the EPA's 2015 SIP Call Rule, the final consent decree's deadlines will no longer be valid.
Mercury and Air Toxics Standards (MATS)
In April 2023, the EPA released a proposal to tighten certain aspects of the MATS rule. The EPA is proposing to lower the emission limit for particulate matter (PM), require the use of PM continuous emissions monitors (CEMS) and lower the mercury emission limit for lignite coal-fired electric generating units (EGUs). The EPA is also soliciting comment on further strengthening of the PM emission limitation. Due to uncertainty regarding final actions on the MATS rule, the Evergy Companies are unable to accurately assess the impacts of these potential EPA actions on their operations or consolidated financial results, but the cost to comply with the emission limitations as proposed do 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 of 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. MDNR submitted a supplemental ITSIP to the EPA on November 1, 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 have filed Petitions for Review in the U.S. 8th and 10th Circuit Courts of Appeals, respectively, challenging the EPA disapproval. In May 2023, the 8th Circuit granted Missouri's stay request and denied the EPA's request for a change of venue to the D.C. Circuit.
48

Table of Contents
Due to uncertainties regarding the legal challenges, the impact on the Evergy Companies' operations and the cost to comply is unknown but is not expected to be material if the ITSIPs are approved in their current forms.
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 June 2023, the EPA published in the Federal Register the final ITFIP for twenty-three states, including Missouri and Oklahoma. The EPA also released an Interim Final Rule in June 2023 that will stay the effectiveness of the ITFIP in Missouri, and five other states, while judicial stays remain in effect for the EPA's final rule disapproval of the ITSIPs submitted by those states. In the Interim Final Rule, the EPA acknowledges that it lacks authority to impose the ITFIP on sources in these states while its disapproval of the ITSIPs submitted by these states is stayed. Due to uncertainties regarding the legal challenges to the ITSIP disapprovals and the ITFIP, the Evergy Companies are unable to accurately assess the impacts of the ITFIP, but the impact on their operations and the cost to comply could be material.
Particulate Matter and Ozone National Ambient Air Quality Standards
In January 2023, the EPA proposed strengthening the primary annual PM2.5 (particulate matter less than 2.5 microns in diameter) NAAQS. The EPA is proposing to lower the primary annual PM2.5 NAAQS from 12.0 µg/m3 (micrograms per cubic meter) to a level that would be between 9.0 and 10.0 µg/m3. The EPA is proposing to retain the other PM NAAQS at their current levels. In March 2023, the EPA released a revised draft Policy Assessment for the Reconsideration of the Ozone NAAQS which recommended retaining the current Ozone NAAQS of 70 parts per billion (ppb). The EPA plans to issue a proposed decision on the Ozone NAAQS reconsideration in the spring of 2024, with a final decision no earlier than the end of 2024. Due to uncertainty regarding the potential lowering of the ozone and PM2.5 NAAQS, the Evergy Companies are unable to accurately assess the impacts of these potential EPA actions on their operations or consolidated financial results, but the cost to comply with lower future ozone or 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 31, 2021. The Evergy Companies have been in contact with the Kansas Department of Health and Environment (KDHE) and MDNR as they worked to draft their SIP revisions. 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 of August 15, 2022. As a result, on August 30, 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 was placed on public notice in June 2021 and requested no additional emission reductions by electric utilities based on the significant reductions that were achieved during the first implementation period.
49

Table of Contents
The EPA provided comments on the Kansas SIP revision in June 2021 that each state is statutorily required to conduct a "four-factor analysis" on at least two sources within the state to help determine if further emission reductions are necessary. The EPA also stated it would be difficult to approve the Kansas SIP revision if at least two four-factor analyses are not conducted on Kansas emission sources. KDHE submitted the Kansas SIP revision in July 2021. 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. In June 2023, several environmental organizations filed a suit against the EPA in the D.C. Circuit for failure of the EPA to timely approve or disapprove of the SIP revisions submitted by Kansas and seven other states.
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 May 2023, the EPA published in the Federal Register proposed GHG regulations that would apply to fossil fuel fired EGUs. The proposal would set CO2 limitations for new gas-fired combustion turbines, existing coal, oil and gas-fired steam generating units, and certain existing gas-fired combustion turbines. The proposed CO2 limitations assume technologies such as carbon capture and sequestration/storage (CCS), hydrogen co-firing, and natural gas co-firing will be utilized.
Due to uncertainty regarding the future of the EPA's GHG regulations, the Evergy Companies cannot determine the impacts on their operations or consolidated financial results, but the cost to comply with potential GHG rules could be material.
Water
The Evergy Companies discharge some of the water used in generation and other operations containing substances deemed to be pollutants. A November 2015 EPA rule applicable to steam-electric power generating plants establishes effluent limitations guidelines (ELG) and standards for wastewater discharges, including limits on the amount of toxic metals and other pollutants that can be discharged. Implementation timelines for this 2015 rule vary from 2018 to 2023. In April 2019, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 5th Circuit (5th Circuit) issued a ruling that vacated and remanded portions of the original ELG rule. Due to this ruling, the EPA announced a plan in July 2021 to issue a proposed rule in the fall of 2022 to address the vacated limitations for legacy wastewater and landfill leachate. In March 2023, the EPA published a proposed 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, coal residual leachate, and legacy wastewater are addressed in the proposal. The Evergy Companies have reviewed the proposed modifications to limitations on FGD wastewater and bottom ash transport water and if the regulation is finalized as proposed, the Evergy Companies do not believe the impact to be material. Modifications for best available technology economically available for the discharge of coal residual leachate could be material if the rulemaking is finalized as proposed.
In August 2021, based on an order issued by the U.S. District Court for the District of Arizona, which vacated and remanded the EPA's 2020 Navigable Waters Protection Rule (NWPR), the EPA and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers announced that they had halted implementation of the NWPR nationwide, and were interpreting "Waters of the United States" consistent with the regulatory regime that was in place prior to 2015. In December 2021, the EPA and the Department of the Army published a proposed rule that would formally repeal the NWPR and revise the definition of "Waters of the United States." In December 2022, the EPA and the Department of the Army issued a final rule establishing a definition for "Waters of the United States." The final rule was published in the Federal Register in January 2023 and took effect in March 2023. In May 2023, the Supreme Court issued a decision that impacts the final rule and has led the EPA to announce an upcoming rulemaking and changes to the current interpretation. The Evergy Companies are reviewing the Supreme Court's decision and awaiting the announced rulemaking. The impact on the Evergy Companies' operations or consolidated financial results are not expected to be material.

Regulation of Coal Combustion Residuals
In the course of operating their coal generation plants, the Evergy Companies produce coal combustion residuals (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 May 2023, the EPA published a proposed expansion to the CCR regulation focused on legacy surface impoundments. This regulation expands applicability of the 2015 CCR regulation to two newly defined types of CCR disposal units. If finalized, the Evergy Companies anticipate having additional CCR units requiring evaluation and potential remediation. The cost to comply with these proposed regulations by the EPA could be material.
The Evergy Companies have recorded 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.

EVERGY, INC.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Evergy is a public utility holding company incorporated in 2017 and headquartered in Kansas City, Missouri. Evergy operates primarily through the following wholly-owned direct subsidiaries listed below.
•Evergy Kansas Central is an integrated, regulated electric utility that provides electricity to customers in the state of Kansas. Evergy Kansas Central has one active wholly-owned subsidiary with significant operations, Evergy Kansas South.
•Evergy Metro is an integrated, regulated electric utility that provides electricity to customers in the states of Missouri and Kansas.
•Evergy Missouri West is an integrated, regulated electric utility that provides electricity to customers in the state of Missouri.
•Evergy Transmission Company owns 13.5% of Transource with the remaining 86.5% owned by AEP Transmission Holding Company, LLC, a subsidiary of AEP. Transource is focused on the development of competitive electric transmission projects. Evergy Transmission Company accounts for its investment in Transource under the equity method.
Evergy Kansas Central also owns a 50% interest in Prairie Wind, which is a joint venture between Evergy Kansas Central and subsidiaries of AEP and Berkshire Hathaway Energy Company. Prairie Wind owns a 108-mile, 345 kV double-circuit transmission line that provides transmission service in the SPP. Evergy Kansas Central accounts for its investment in Prairie Wind under the equity method.
Evergy Kansas Central, Evergy Kansas South, Evergy Metro and Evergy Missouri West conduct business in their respective service territories using the name Evergy. Collectively, the Evergy Companies have approximately 15,600 MWs of owned generating capacity and renewable power purchase agreements and engage in the generation, transmission, distribution and sale of electricity to approximately 1.7 million customers in the states of Kansas and Missouri. The Evergy Companies assess financial performance and allocate resources on a consolidated basis (i.e., operate in one segment).
Evergy Kansas Central and Evergy Metro 2023 Rate Case Proceeding
In April 2023, Evergy Kansas Central and Evergy Metro filed an application with the KCC to request an increase to their retail revenues. See Note 4 to the consolidated financial statements for additional information.
Renewable Generation Investment
In August 2022, Evergy Missouri West entered into an agreement with a renewable energy development company to purchase Persimmon Creek, an operational wind farm located in the state of Oklahoma with a generating capacity of approximately 199 MW, for approximately $250 million. Pursuant to the agreement, Evergy Missouri West was permitted to assign its right to purchase Persimmon Creek to another entity, including to other Evergy affiliated companies.
Evergy Missouri West's purchase was subject to regulatory approvals and closing conditions, including the granting of a CCN by the MPSC. In April 2023, the MPSC issued a final order granting the CCN pursuant to certain conditions related to the sharing of operational costs between ratepayers and shareholders. In May 2023, Evergy Missouri West assigned its right to purchase Persimmon Creek to Evergy Kansas Central and Evergy Kansas Central closed on the purchase of Persimmon Creek for $220.9 million, including costs incidental to the purchase of the plant. Evergy Kansas Central included the purchase of Persimmon Creek in its rate case application to the KCC which was filed in April 2023. The addition of Persimmon Creek is consistent with the preferred plan identified through Evergy Kansas Central’s integrated resource plan filed with the KCC in June 2023, which identified it as part of the lowest-cost resource plan to serve customers. See Note 4 to the consolidated financial statements for additional information on Evergy Kansas Central's rate case proceeding.

2023 Change 2022 2023 Change 2022
(millions, except per share amounts)
Net income attributable to Evergy, Inc. $ 179.1  $ (15.4) $ 194.5  $ 321.7  $ 4.7  $ 317.0 
Earnings per common share, diluted 0.78  (0.06) 0.84  1.40  0.02  1.38 
Net income attributable to Evergy, Inc. decreased for the three months ended June 30, 2023, compared to the same period in 2022, primarily due to higher depreciation expense, higher interest expense and lower retail sales in the second quarter of 2023 driven by unfavorable weather; partially offset by lower operating and maintenance expenses, new Evergy Metro and Evergy Missouri West retail rates effective in January 2023 and lower income tax expense.
Diluted EPS decreased for the three months ended June 30, 2023, compared to the same period in 2022, primarily due to the decrease in net income attributable to Evergy, Inc. discussed above.
Net income attributable to Evergy, Inc. increased year to date June 30, 2023, compared to the same period in 2022, primarily due to lower operating and maintenance expenses, new Evergy Metro and Evergy Missouri West retail rates effective in January 2023, a realized loss in 2022 from an equity investment, higher interest income and lower income tax expense; partially offset by higher depreciation expense, higher interest expense and lower retail sales in 2023 driven by unfavorable weather.
Diluted EPS increased year to date June 30, 2023, compared to the same period in 2022, primarily due to the increase in net income attributable to Evergy, Inc. discussed above.
For additional information regarding the change in net income, refer to the Evergy Results of Operations section within this MD&A.
Non-GAAP Measures
Evergy Utility Gross Margin (non-GAAP)
Utility gross margin (non-GAAP) is a financial measure that is not calculated in accordance with GAAP.  Utility gross margin (non-GAAP), as used by the Evergy Companies, is defined as operating revenues less fuel and purchased power costs and amounts billed by the SPP for network transmission costs. Expenses for fuel and purchased power costs, offset by wholesale sales margin, are subject to recovery through cost adjustment mechanisms.  As a result, changes in fuel and purchased power costs are offset in operating revenues with minimal impact on net income. In addition, SPP network transmission costs fluctuate primarily due to investments by SPP members for upgrades to the transmission grid within the SPP RTO.  As with fuel and purchased power costs, changes in SPP network transmission costs are mostly reflected in the prices charged to customers with minimal impact on net income. The Evergy Companies' definition of utility gross margin (non-GAAP) may differ from similar terms used by other companies.
Utility gross margin (non-GAAP) is intended to aid an investor's overall understanding of results. Management believes that utility gross margin (non-GAAP) provides a meaningful basis for evaluating the Evergy Companies' operations across periods because utility gross margin (non-GAAP) excludes the revenue effect of fluctuations in fuel and purchased power costs and SPP network transmission costs.
57

Table of Contents
Utility gross margin (non-GAAP) is used internally to measure performance against budget and in reports for management and the Evergy Board. Utility gross margin (non-GAAP) should be viewed as a supplement to, and not a substitute for, gross margin, which is the most directly comparable financial measure prepared in accordance with GAAP. Gross margin under GAAP is defined as the excess of sales over cost of goods sold.
Utility gross margin (non-GAAP) differs from the GAAP definition of gross margin due to the exclusion of operating and maintenance expenses determined to be directly attributable to revenue-producing activities, depreciation and amortization and taxes other than income tax. See the Evergy Companies' Results of Operations for a reconciliation of utility gross margin (non-GAAP) to gross margin, the most comparable GAAP measure.
Adjusted Earnings (non-GAAP) and Adjusted EPS (non-GAAP)
Management believes that adjusted earnings (non-GAAP) and adjusted EPS (non-GAAP) are representative measures of Evergy's recurring earnings, assists in the comparability of results and is consistent with how management reviews performance. Evergy's adjusted earnings (non-GAAP) and adjusted EPS (non-GAAP) for the three months ended and year to date June 30, 2022 have been recast, as applicable, to conform to the current year presentation.
Evergy's adjusted earnings (non-GAAP) and adjusted EPS (non-GAAP) for the three months ended and year to date June 30, 2023 were $186.1 million or $0.81 per share and $322.2 million or $1.40 per share, respectively. For the three months ended and year to date June 30, 2022, Evergy's adjusted earnings (non-GAAP) and adjusted EPS (non-GAAP) were $194.5 million or $0.84 per share and $324.4 million or $1.41 per share, respectively.
In addition to net income attributable to Evergy, Inc. and diluted EPS, Evergy's management uses adjusted earnings (non-GAAP) and adjusted EPS (non-GAAP) to evaluate earnings and EPS without i.) the costs resulting from non-regulated energy marketing margins from the February 2021 winter weather event; ii.) gains or losses related to equity investments subject to a restriction on sale; iii.) the revenues collected from customers for the return on investment of the retired Sibley Station in 2022 for future refunds to customers; iv.) the mark-to-market impacts of economic hedges related to Evergy Kansas Central's non-regulated 8% ownership share of JEC; v.) costs resulting from advisor expenses; and vi.) the transmission revenues collected from customers in 2022 through Evergy Kansas Central's FERC TFR to be refunded to customers in accordance with a December 2022 FERC order and vii.) the second quarter 2023 deferral of the cumulative amount of prior year revenues collected since October 2019 for costs related to an electric subdivision rebate program to be refunded to customers in accordance with a June 2020 KCC order.
Adjusted earnings (non-GAAP) and adjusted EPS (non-GAAP) are intended to aid an investor's overall understanding of results. Management believes that adjusted earnings (non-GAAP) provides a meaningful basis for evaluating Evergy's operations across periods because it excludes certain items that management does not believe are indicative of Evergy's ongoing performance or that can create period to period earnings volatility.
Adjusted earnings (non-GAAP) and adjusted EPS (non-GAAP) are used internally to measure performance against budget and in reports for management and the Evergy Board. Adjusted earnings (non-GAAP) and adjusted EPS (non-GAAP) are financial measures that are not calculated in accordance with GAAP and may not be comparable to other companies' presentations or more useful than the GAAP information provided elsewhere in this report.

See the Evergy Companies' combined 2022 Form 10-K for more information on Evergy's sources and uses of cash.

Short-Term Borrowings
As of June 30, 2023, Evergy had $627.2 million of available borrowing capacity under its master credit facility. The available borrowing capacity under the master credit facility consisted of $162.8 million for Evergy, Inc., $185.2 million for Evergy Kansas Central, $188.5 million for Evergy Metro and $90.7 million for Evergy Missouri West. The Evergy Companies' borrowing capacity under the master credit facility also supports their issuance of commercial paper. See Note 7 to the consolidated financial statements for more information regarding the master credit facility.
In February 2022, Evergy, Inc. entered into a $500.0 million unsecured Term Loan Facility that originally expired in February 2023. In February 2023, Evergy, Inc. amended the $500.0 million Term Loan Facility to extend the expiration date to February 2024. As a result of the amendment, Evergy, Inc. demonstrated its intent and ability to refinance the Term Loan Facility and reflected this $500.0 million borrowing within long-term debt, net, on Evergy's consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2022. As of June 30, 2023, Evergy had borrowed $500.0 million under the Term Loan Facility that is reflected within notes payable and commercial paper on Evergy's consolidated balance sheet. Evergy's borrowings under the Term Loan Facility were used for, among other things, working capital, capital expenditures and general corporate purposes.
Along with cash flows from operations and receivable sales facilities, Evergy generally uses borrowings under its master credit facility and the issuance of commercial paper to meet its day-to-day cash flow requirements. Evergy may also utilize these short-term borrowings to repay maturing long-term debt until the long-term debt is able to be refinanced. Evergy believes that its existing cash on hand and available borrowing capacity under its master credit facility provide sufficient liquidity for its existing capital requirements.

Utility gross margin (non-GAAP) $ 634.3  $ 3.1  $ 631.2 
(a) Operating and maintenance expenses which are deemed to be directly attributable to revenue-producing activities include plant operating and maintenance expenses at generating units and transmission and distribution operating and maintenance expenses and have been separately presented in order to calculate gross margin as defined under GAAP. These amounts exclude general and administrative expenses not directly attributable to revenue-producing activities of $39.9 million and $61.4 million year to date June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively.
Evergy Metro's gross margin (GAAP) decreased $24.6 million year to date June 30, 2023, compared to the same period in 2022 and Evergy Metro's utility gross margin (non-GAAP) increased $3.1 million year to date June 30, 2023, compared to the same period in 2022, both measures were driven by:
•an $8.5 million decrease primarily due to lower retail sales driven by unfavorable weather (cooling degree days decreased by 15% and heating degree days decreased by 13%), partially offset by higher weather-normalized demand; partially offset by
•a $10.1 million increase from new Evergy Metro retail rates effective in January 2023; and
•a $1.5 million increase related to Evergy Metro's TDC rider in 2023.
Additionally, the decrease in Evergy Metro's gross margin (GAAP) was also driven by:
•a $40.4 million increase in depreciation and amortization expense as described further below; partially offset by
•an $11.3 million decrease in operating and maintenance expenses which are determined to be directly attributable to revenue producing activities primarily driven by a $3.8 million decrease in transmission and distribution operating and maintenance expenses, a $3.6 million decrease in plant operating and maintenance expense at Wolf Creek and a $3.0 million decrease in operating and maintenance expense at fossil-fuel generating units as further described below.

Evergy Metro Operating and Maintenance
Evergy Metro's operating and maintenance expense decreased $32.7 million year to date June 30, 2023, compared to the same period in 2022, primarily driven by:
•a $14.7 million decrease in administrative labor and employee benefits expenses primarily due to lower employee headcount in 2023;
•a $6.8 million decrease in various administrative and general operating and maintenance expenses primarily driven by lower regulatory amortizations as a result of Evergy Metro's 2022 rate case;
•a $3.8 million decrease in various transmission and distribution operating and maintenance expenses primarily due to lower labor costs driven by an increase in labor capitalization, lower employee headcount and lower contractor costs;
•a $3.6 million decrease in plant operating and maintenance expense at Wolf Creek primarily due to lower refueling outage amortizations in 2023 and lower labor costs driven by an increase in labor capitalization and lower employee headcount; and
•a $3.0 million decrease in plant operating and maintenance expense at fossil-fuel generating units primarily driven by major maintenance outages at Iatan Station Unit 1 and LaCygne Unit 2 in 2022; partially offset by a major maintenance outage at Hawthorn Station in 2023; partially offset by
•a $1.8 million increase in property insurance expense due to a lower annual refund of nuclear insurance premiums received in 2023 related to Evergy Metro's ownership interest in Wolf Creek.
Evergy Metro Depreciation Expense
Evergy Metro's depreciation and amortization expense increased $40.4 million year to date June 30, 2023, compared to the same period in 2022, primarily driven by:
•a $25.2 million increase primarily due to a change in depreciation rates and the rebasing of PISA depreciation deferrals as a result of Evergy Metro's 2022 rate case effective in January 2023; and
•a $15.4 million increase primarily due to capital additions.
Evergy Metro Interest Expense
Evergy Metro's interest expense increased $11.8 million year to date June 30, 2023, compared to the same period in 2022, primarily driven by an $8.9 million increase in interest expense on short-term borrowings primarily due to higher short-term debt balances and weighted-average interest rates in 2023.
Evergy Metro Income Tax Expense
Evergy Metro's income tax expense decreased $3.4 million year to date June 30, 2023, compared to the same period in 2022, primarily driven by lower pre-tax income in 2023.
ITEM 3.  QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK 
In the ordinary course of business, Evergy faces risks that are either non-financial or non-quantifiable. Such risks principally include business, legal, operational and credit risks and are discussed elsewhere in this report as well as in the Evergy Companies' combined 2022 Form 10-K and therefore are not represented here.
Evergy's interim period disclosures about market risk included in quarterly reports on Form 10-Q address material changes, if any, from the most recently filed annual report on Form 10-K. Therefore, these interim period disclosures should be read in conjunction with Part II, Item 7A, Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk included in the Evergy Companies' combined 2022 Form 10-K. Evergy's exposure to market risk has not changed materially since December 31, 2022.
