The regulated utility posted revenue of $1.28 billion, up 11.1% year over year and ahead of the $1.23 billion consensus estimate by 3.91%, as authorized rate increases from completed general rate cases and infrastructure proceedings drove the gains. Earnings per share, however, came in at $1.48, falling short of the $1.53 consensus by 3.05%, with management attributing roughly $0.06 per share of the shortfall to unfavorable weather conditions, including wet weather in the current quarter and the absence of the warm, dry conditions that had lifted year-ago results. Rising employee, technology, and depreciation costs added further pressure on the bottom line. Looking ahead, the company narrowed its full-year 2025 weather-normalized EPS guidance to $5.70 to $5.75 and reaffirmed long-term EPS and dividend growth targets of 7% to 9%, while announcing an agreement to acquire Nexus Water Group systems adding approximately 87,000 customer connections across eight states.
Key Takeaways
- • Authorized revenue increases from completed general rate cases and infrastructure proceedings
- • Recovery of incremental capital and acquisition investments
- • Incremental revenue from closed acquisitions
- • $270 million in additional annualized revenues authorized since January 1, 2025
- • Net unfavorable weather impact of approximately $0.06 per share in Q2 2025 vs Q2 2024
