CapyFin.com Forward Guidance
Avista Corp. is confirming its 2024 consolidated earnings guidance with a range of $2.36 to $2.56 per diluted share. We expect Avista Utilities to contribute within a range of $2.23 to $2.39 per diluted share in 2024.
Positive Outlook
- The increase in utility margin due to the addition of this customer is expected to offset substantially all of the forecast impact of higher power supply costs on results in 2024.
- We expect AEL&P to contribute in the range of $0.09 to $0.11 per diluted share in 2024.
- We expect our other businesses to contribute in the range of $0.04 to $0.06 per diluted share in 2024.
- We continue to expect long term earnings growth of 4 to 6 percent off of a 2025 base year.
- This assumes constructive outcomes in our general rate cases.
Challenges Ahead
- During the first half of 2024, we experienced lower than normal hydroelectric generation and we expect this to continue for the remainder of the year.
- In addition, forward market prices have not changed significantly since last quarter.
- As a result, the impact of the ERM on earnings is expected to be negative $0.07 per diluted share for the full year, within the 90 percent customer/10 percent Company sharing band.
- Our guidance does not include the effect of unusual or non-recurring items until the effects are probable.
- Various factors could cause actual results to differ materially from our expectations, including our earnings guidance.
