RGC Resources, Inc. Reports Second Quarter Earnings
05 Maio 2023 - 10:37AM
RGC Resources, Inc. (NASDAQ: RGCO) announced consolidated Company
earnings of $6,341,886, or $0.64 per share, for the quarter ended
March 31, 2023, compared to a net loss of $24,494,429, or $2.89 per
share, for the quarter ended March 31, 2022. Underlying earnings of
$6,341,886, a non-GAAP measure that excludes the after-tax
impairments recorded in fiscal 2022, for the current fiscal quarter
represents a 25% increase over the prior year second fiscal quarter
underlying earnings of $5,077,546. CEO Paul Nester stated, “We
experienced strong underlying earnings growth from improved utility
margins associated with customer growth and implementation of the
new non-gas rates.”
Net loss for the twelve months ended March 31,
2023 was $1,224,411, or $0.12 per share. Underlying net income for
the twelve months ended March 31, 2023 was $10,115,158, or $1.03
per share, compared to $9,273,396, or $1.11 per share, for the
twelve months ended March 31, 2022. Nester attributed the
underlying net income increase to improved utility margins
associated with infrastructure replacement programs, customer
growth and the implementation of the new non-gas rates. The
underlying earnings per share change is due to the impact of the
March 2022 equity offering on the weighted average shares
outstanding.
RGC Resources, Inc. provides energy and related
products and services to customers in Virginia through its
operating subsidiaries Roanoke Gas Company and RGC Midstream,
LLC.
Utility margins is a non-GAAP measure defined as
utility revenues less cost of gas. Underlying net income removes
the effect of the after-tax impairment charge from the results of
operations to enhance the comparability of financial results
between periods. Management considers these non-GAAP measures to
provide useful information to both management and investors for
purpose of such comparability and in evaluating operating
performance, but they should be considered in addition to results
prepared in accordance with GAAP and should not be considered a
substitute for, or superior to, GAAP results.
Net income for the three months ended March 31,
2023 is not indicative of the results to be expected for the fiscal
year ending September 30, 2023 as quarterly earnings are affected
by the highly seasonal nature of the business and weather
conditions generally result in greater earnings during the winter
months.
The statements in this release that are not
historical facts constitute “forward-looking statements” made
pursuant to the safe harbor provision of the Private Securities
Litigation Reform Act of 1995 that involve risks and uncertainties.
In order to comply with the terms of the safe harbor, the Company
notes that a variety of factors could cause the Company’s actual
results and experience to differ materially from any expectations
expressed in the Company’s forward-looking statements, regarding
customer growth, infrastructure investment and margins. These risks
and uncertainties include gas prices and supply, geopolitical
considerations and regulatory and legal challenges and those set
forth in Item 1-A of the Company’s fiscal 2022 Form 10-K.
Forward-looking statements reflect the Company’s current
expectations only as of the date they are made. The Company assumes
