New Jersey Resources reported a significant increase in net income and net financial earnings for the second quarter of fiscal 2025, primarily driven by strong performance in the Natural Gas Distribution segment due to a base rate case settlement and outperformance in the Energy Services segment due to natural gas price volatility.
Consolidated net income for Q2 fiscal 2025 was $204.3 million, a substantial increase from $120.8 million in the same period last year.
Consolidated net financial earnings (NFE) for Q2 fiscal 2025 were $178.3 million, up from $138.6 million in Q2 fiscal 2024.
New Jersey Natural Gas (NJNG) reported higher NFE due to increased utility gross margin from a recent base rate case settlement.
Energy Services benefited from natural gas price volatility during the winter period, contributing to the strong overall performance.
NJR is raising its fiscal 2025 NFEPS guidance range due to outperformance from Energy Services and the gain from the sale of the residential solar portfolio, while maintaining its long-term NFEPS growth target.
