Briefing
Ameren's Q4 2023 earnings decreased slightly compared to the same period in 2022, primarily due to milder winter temperatures and increased interest expenses, despite increased infrastructure investments and new electric service rates in Missouri.
Ameren Corporation reported net income attributable to common shareholders of $158 million, or $0.60 per diluted share, for the three months ended December 31, 2023. This compares to a net income of $163 million, or $0.63 per diluted share, for the same period in 2022. The decrease was primarily due to lower Ameren Missouri electric retail sales driven by milder-than-normal winter temperatures and higher interest expense at Ameren Parent, offset by increased infrastructure investments and new electric service rates.
