The company said the ICC also disallowed $1.7 million of capital costs related to NSG's construction of a gas infrastructure project. It noted that this item is listed separately from the amount disallowed for the PGL service centers.
The company said that on January 3, 2024, the ICC granted a limited-scope rehearing to PGL and NSG, but the capital cost disallowances are not part of the rehearing. As a result, it will record a non-cash charge of $178.9 million pre-tax ($129.8 million after tax, or $0.41 per share) to earnings in 2023. The company also said it expects to appeal the disallowance to the Illinois circuit court.
The company said it has provided GAAP earnings per share guidance for 2023 of $4.17 to $4.21, reflecting this charge. Excluding the $0.41 per share charge, its adjusted (non-GAAP) guidance is $4.58 to $4.62, and it expects to reach the upper end of that range.
