Key points
AI summaryThe company said its 2023 GAAP earnings were $4.26 per share, compared with $4.51 a year earlier, and its operating earnings were $5.25 per share, compared with $5.09. For Q4, GAAP earnings were $0.64 per share, compared with $0.75 in the same quarter a year earlier, and operating earnings were $1.23 per share, compared with $1.05 a year earlier.
The company attributed the difference between GAAP and operating earnings for Q4 and for the full year mainly to the disallowance of recovery of certain deferred fuel costs in West Virginia, the probable disallowance of certain capitalized costs associated with the Turk Plant, and the mark-to-market impact of economic hedging activities.
The company said it reaffirmed its 2024 operating earnings guidance range of $5.53 to $5.73 per share. It also set out a long-term growth rate of 6% to 7% and an FFO/Debt target of 14% to 15%.
The company said that of its 5-year $43 billion capital plan, $27.3 billion is allocated to transmission and distribution investments. It also said it will retain the Transource business and its share of the Pioneer and Prairie Wind transmission joint ventures, and expects to complete the sale of its 50% share in New Mexico Renewable Development to Exus for $115 million by the end of February.
