Evergy, Inc. reported third-quarter 2025 net income attributable to Evergy, Inc. of $475.0 milliona, or $2.03 diluted EPS, compared with $465.6 million, or $2.02, in the same period of 2024.

Year-to-date operating revenues were $4,621.4 million, up from $4,589.9 million.
Capital spending and financing remained heavy. Additions to property, plant and equipment were $1,932.4 millionc year to date, versus $1,822.4 million a year earlier, and long-term debt rose to $12,446.3 million from $11,809.2 million at December 31, 2024.

The filing also notes a $2.5 billion master credit facility with $1,263.5 million of available borrowing capacity at September 30, 2025, and a declared quarterly dividend of $0.6950 per share payable December 19, 2025.
