Briefing
California Water Service Group announced third quarter results impacted by delayed proposed decision from the CPUC on California Water Service Company’s pending 2021 general rate case.
California Water Service Group reported a decrease in net income and earnings per share for the third quarter of 2023 compared to the same period in 2022, primarily due to the delayed decision from the California Public Utilities Commission on California Water Service Company’s pending 2021 general rate case.
- Net income attributable to Group was $34.4 million, compared to $55.9 million for the same quarter last year.
- Diluted earnings per share were $0.60, down from $1.03 in the third quarter of 2022.
- Operating revenue decreased by 4.3% to $255.0 million, mainly due to a decrease in Water Revenue Adjustment Mechanism and Modified Cost Balancing Account revenue.
- Operating expenses increased by 5.0% to $211.5 million, driven by higher water production costs and other operations expenses.
