The primary engine behind the results was higher regulated revenues from authorized rate increases designed to recover capital and acquisition investments, with the Regulated Businesses segment generating net income of $383 million compared to $356 million a year earlier. The quarter also carried strategic weight, as the company announced a definitive all-stock merger agreement with Essential Utilities that would create a combined entity with a pro forma market capitalization of approximately $40 billion. Looking ahead, management affirmed 2025 weather-normalized EPS guidance of $5.70 to $5.75 and initiated 2026 guidance of $6.02 to $6.12, representing 8% growth at the midpoint, while expanding its 2026-2030 capital investment plan to $19 billion to $20 billion to address infrastructure demands including EPA PFAS compliance.
