Delivering Strong Second Quarter for Utility Net Income and Centuri Revenue
Reaffirming 2023 Utility Earnings Guidance and 2023 Centuri Revenue and EBITDA Margin Guidance
LAS VEGAS, Aug. 9, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Southwest Gas Holdings, Inc. (NYSE: SWX) ("Southwest Gas" or "Company") today reported second quarter 2023 financial results.
"I am pleased with our strong financial results across the utility and Centuri, and the progress we made on our strategic priorities," said Karen S. Haller, President and Chief Executive Officer of Southwest Gas. "During the quarter, we executed on our business plan and made progress on our transformational strategy towards becoming a pure-play natural gas leader. We also achieved significant regulatory milestones, including receiving Arizona Corporation Commission approval for the Centuri separation and implementing an increase in the Gas Cost Balancing Account rate to facilitate timely recovery of purchased gas costs. At the federal level, we confidentially submitted a draft Registration Statement on Form 10 with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission and we anticipate a decision from the Internal Revenue Service on the tax-free nature of the separation in the fourth quarter. We're proud of these advancements, as well as delivering the highest second quarter utility net income and Centuri revenue on record."
Ms. Haller continued, "Our commitment to executing our strategic plan is as strong as ever. We continue to be there for our customers, delivering safe, reliable, and affordable energy, and investing in our communities and employees. As always, we are focused on maximizing value for our stockholders, which is reflected by our year to date performance."
