Briefing
Ameren's first quarter earnings decreased compared to the same period last year, but the company affirmed its 2020 earnings guidance.
Ameren Corporation reported a decrease in net income attributable to common shareholders for the first quarter of 2020, with earnings per share also declining. The company's results were affected by lower weather-driven retail sales and the absence of energy efficiency performance incentives at Ameren Missouri, as well as lower allowed returns on equity at Ameren Illinois Electric Distribution and Ameren Transmission. Despite these challenges, Ameren reaffirmed its 2020 earnings guidance and long-term earnings growth guidance.
- First quarter diluted earnings per share were $0.59 in 2020, compared to $0.78 in 2019.
- Net income attributable to common shareholders was $146 million, down from $191 million in the first quarter of 2019.
- The company reaffirmed its 2020 earnings guidance range of $3.40 to $3.60 per diluted share.
- Ameren also affirmed its 2020 through 2024 compound annual diluted earnings per share growth expectations of 6% to 8%.
