Basis of Presentation
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 2025 Form 10-K.
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
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. The Evergy Companies assess financial performance and allocate resources on a consolidated basis (i.e., operate in one segment).
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash, Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash
Cash equivalents consist of highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less at acquisition. Evergy has restricted cash included in Other Current Assets and Other Non-current Assets on Evergy's consolidated balance sheets to facilitate the servicing of Evergy Missouri West Storm Funding I, LLC's debt and the funding requirements for a jointly-owned generation facility. The following table summarizes the cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash included on Evergy's consolidated balance sheets.

Earnings Per Share
Earnings Per Share
To compute basic earnings per common 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), convertible notes and forward sale agreements entered into through Evergy's at-the-market equity offering program (ATM Program). Evergy computes the dilutive effects of potential issuances of common shares using the treasury stock method and the if-converted method, as applicable.
