Each filer's latest fiscal year as stored by the nightly crawl; fiscal year ends differ across the universe. A metric ranks only filers for which it is computable from filed facts. Ties split; a rank reads "better than N% of filers" in the metric's own direction. Descriptive and educational, not a rating.
Earnings quality
latest fiscal year ending 2025-12-31 · accruals and cash conversion as filedPer fiscal year from filed facts: cash conversion = operating cash flow / net income (net income > 0); cash-flow accrual ratio = (net income - operating cash flow) / average total assets; balance-sheet accrual ratio = change in net operating assets / average net operating assets, NOA = (assets - cash) - (liabilities - debt). Descriptive; a missing input yields a missing ratio. High accrual ratios and cash conversion well below one are the measures the accruals literature associates with less persistent earnings; they are screens to read the cash-flow statement with, not conclusions.

Fair value · 8,952 characters as filed
"15. Fair Value Measurements (All Registrants) Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (an exit price). A market approach (generally, data from market transactions), an income approach (generally, present value techniques and option-pricing models), and/or a cost approach (generally, replacement cost) are used to measure the fair value of an asset or liability, as appropriate. These valuation approaches incorporate inputs such as observable, independent market data and/or unobservable data that management believes are predicated on the assumptions market participants would use to price an asset or liability. These inputs may incorporate, as applicable, certain risks such as nonperformance risk, which includes credit risk. The fair value of a group of financial assets and liabilities is measured on a net basis. See Note 1 for information on the levels in the fair value hierarchy.

"3. Revenue from Contracts with Customers (All Registrants) The following is a description of the principal activities from which the Registrants and PPL's segments generate their revenues. (PPL and PPL Electric) Pennsylvania Regulated Segment Revenue The Pennsylvania Regulated segment generates substantially all of its revenues from contracts with customers from PPL Electric's tariff-based distribution and transmission of electricity. Distribution Revenue PPL Electric provides distribution services to residential, commercial, industrial, municipal and governmental end users of energy. PPL Electric satisfies its performance obligation to its distribution customers and revenue is recognized over time as electricity is delivered and simultaneously consumed by the customer. The amount of revenue recognized is the volume of electricity delivered during the period multiplied by the price per tariff, plus a monthly fixed charge and include unbilled amounts, which represent the amounts due from customers as a result of customer's bills being rendered throughout the month, rather than at the end of the month. This method of recognition fairly presents PPL Electric's transfer of electric service to the customer as the calculation is based on volumes delivered, and the price per tariff and the monthly fixed charge are set by the PAPUC. Customers are typically billed monthly and outstanding amounts are normally due within 21 days of the date of the bill. Distribution customers are ""at …

Segment reporting · 8,965 characters as filed
"2. Segment and Related Information (PPL) PPL is organized into three segments, broken down by geographic location: Kentucky Regulated, Pennsylvania Regulated, and Rhode Island Regulated. The Kentucky Regulated segment consists primarily of the regulated electricity generation, transmission and distribution operations conducted by LG&E and KU, as well as LG&E's regulated distribution and sale of natural gas. The Pennsylvania Regulated segment includes the regulated electricity transmission and distribution operations of PPL Electric. The Rhode Island Regulated segment includes the regulated electricity transmission and distribution and natural gas distribution operations of RIE. ""Corporate and Other"" primarily includes corporate level financing costs, certain unallocated corporate costs, and certain non-recoverable costs incurred in conjunction with the acquisition of RIE. ""Corporate and Other"" is presented to reconcile segment information to PPL's consolidated results and is not a reportable segment. PPL's Chief Operating Decision Maker (CODM) is the CLC. The CLC uses financial metrics including segment net income, earnings from ongoing operations, earnings per share and return on equity, as well as various operational metrics to assess segment performance and make investment and resource decisions. Segment net income is the measure of segment profit or loss that most closely aligns with GAAP and is being presented for disclosure purposes. The tables below provid …

Fair value · 8,821 characters as filed
"13. Fair Value Measurements (All Registrants) Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (an exit price). A market approach (generally, data from market transactions), an income approach (generally, present value techniques and option pricing models) and/or a cost approach (generally, replacement cost) are used to measure the fair value of an asset or liability, as appropriate. These valuation approaches incorporate inputs such as observable, independent market data and/or unobservable data that management believes are predicated on the assumptions market participants would use to price an asset or liability. These inputs may incorporate, as applicable, certain risks such as nonperformance risk, which includes credit risk. The fair value of a group of financial assets and liabilities is measured on a net basis. See Note 1 in each Registrant's 2024 Form 10-K for information on the levels in the fair value hierarchy. Recurring Fair Value Measurements The assets and liabilities measured at fair value were: September 30, 2025 December 31, 2024 Total Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 PPL Assets Cash and cash equivalents $ 1,102 $ 1,102 $ $ $ 306 $ 306 $ $ Restricted cash and cash equivalents (a) 17 17 33 33 Total Cash, Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash (b) 1,119 1,119 339 339 Special use funds (a): Money market fund 2 2 1 1 Comm …
