Article content

HALIFAX, Nova Scotia — Today Emera Inc. (“Emera”) (TSX: EMA) reported financial results for the second quarter and year-to-date 2024.

Highlights

  • Growth in Reported Net Income Per Share (“EPS”)(1): Reported EPS saw a substantial increase of $0.35 to $0.45 in Q2 2024, compared to $0.10 in Q2 2023. This improvement was driven by a gain on the strategic sale of the Labrador Island Link (“LIL”).
  • Decrease in Adjusted EPS: Adjusted EPS decreased $0.07 to $0.53 compared to adjusted EPS of $0.60 in Q2 2023. The decline was primarily driven by:
    • Higher corporate costs resulting from increased interest expenses, and unrealized foreign exchange (“FX”) losses on the translation of short-term debt balances;
    • A decrease in earnings at Nova Scotia Power (“NSPI”) resulting from higher investment in reliability and customer experience initiatives impacting operating costs;
    • A decrease in earnings at New Mexico Gas Company (“NMGC”) due to higher operating costs.
  • Strong Performance in Florida Businesses: Tampa Electric (“TEC”) and Peoples Gas (“PGS”) reported higher earnings due to robust customer growth and new base rates, affirming the significant potential of our Florida operations.
  • Strengthening the Balance Sheet: We took definitive measures to enhance our financial position, improving our balance sheet and key credit metrics. The strategic sale of Emera’s interest in the LIL reduced holding company debt by $957 million and the replacement of US $500 million of holding company debt with hybrid capital, further optimized the capital structure and improved credit metrics. The announced sale of NMGC to Bernhard Capital Partners for an enterprise value of US$1.252 billion will additionally strengthen the balance sheet when closed in late 2025. These actions demonstrate our commitment to financial strength and flexibility.
  • Capital Deployment on Track: Emera is on course to deploy $2.9 billion in capital in 2024, with $1.4 billion already invested in the first half of the year.

Article content

“While our adjusted earnings were lower for the quarter and for the year to date, we expect stronger results for the balance of the year. We saw strong operational performance and customer growth in our utilities, particularly Tampa Electric and Peoples Gas, which underscores the significance of our Florida operations and reinforces the strategic decision to reallocate capital to invest in our strongest businesses” said Scott Balfour, President and CEO of Emera Inc. “Our commitment to deploying $2.9 billion in capital this year, as part of our three-year $8.8 billion capital investment plan, not only highlights our dedication to enhancing infrastructure and delivering reliable energy to our customers but is also expected to deliver strong results for shareholders.”

Q2 2024 Financial Results

Q2 2024 reported net income was $129 million, or $0.45 per common share, compared with net income of $28 million, or $0.10 per common share, in Q2 2023, driven by the LIL gain on sale, higher earnings in Tampa Electric and Peoples Gas, both of which benefitted from customer growth and new base rates.

Reported net income for the quarter included a $107 million gain, after tax and transaction costs, on the sale of Emera’s LIL equity interest, and a $129 million mark-to-market (“MTM”) after-tax loss, primarily at Emera Energy Services (“EES”) compared to a $134 million MTM after-tax loss in Q2 2023. The recently announced sale of New Mexico Gas Company will result in a non-cash impairment of goodwill in subsequent periods.

Q2 2024 adjusted net income(1) was $151 million, or $0.53 per common share, compared with $162 million, or $0.60 per common share, in Q2 2023. The decrease was primarily due to decreased earnings at NMGC and NSPI, higher Corporate interest expense and unrealized FX losses on translation of USD short term debt balances. These were partially offset by increased earnings at PGS and TEC and increased Corporate income tax recovery due to increased losses before provision for income taxes.

Year-to-date Financial Results

Year-to-date reported net income was $336 million or $1.17 per common share, compared with net income of $588 million or $2.17 per common share year-to-date in 2023. Year-to-date reported net income included a $107 million gain, after tax and transaction costs, on the sale of Emera’s LIL equity interest and a $138 million MTM loss, after-tax, compared to a $158 million MTM gain, after-tax, primarily at EES in 2023.

Article content

Year-to-date adjusted net income(1) was $367 million or $1.28 per common share, compared with $430 million or $1.58 per common share year-to-date in 2023.

Year-to-date adjusted net income decreased primarily due to decreased earnings at NMGC, NSPI, TEC and EES, increased Corporate interest expense, higher operating, maintenance and general expenses (“OM&G”) in the Corporate segment due to the timing of long-term compensation hedges and realized FX losses. These were partially offset by increased earnings at PGS and increased Corporate income tax recovery.

The translation impact of a weaker Canadian dollar on US denominated earnings was more than offset by the losses on FX hedges used to mitigate translation risk of US dollar earnings which, combined, decreased net income by $11 million in Q2 2024 and $13 million year-to-date, compared to the same periods in 2023. Weakening of the Canadian dollar increased adjusted net income by $2 million in Q2 2024 and $1 million year-to-date compared to the same period in 2023.

1 Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Ratios

Emera uses financial measures that do not have standardized meaning under USGAAP and may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other entities. Emera calculates the non-GAAP measures and ratios by adjusting certain GAAP measures for specific items. Management believes excluding these items better distinguishes the ongoing operations of the business. For further information on the non-GAAP financial measure, adjusted net income, and the non-GAAP ratio, adjusted EPS – basic, refer to the “Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Ratios” section of the Emera’s Q2 2024 MD&A which is incorporated herein by reference and can be found on SEDAR+ at www.sedarplus.ca. Reconciliation to the nearest GAAP measure is included in “Segment Results and Non-GAAP Reconciliation” above.
