Forward guidance

NJR reaffirmed fiscal 2021 NFE guidance range of $1.55 to $1.65 per share and increased its fiscal 2022 NFE guidance to a range of $2.20 to $2.30.

Tailwinds

  • NJR reaffirmed fiscal 2021 NFE guidance range of $1.55 to $1.65 per share.
  • NJR increased its fiscal 2022 NFE guidance to a range of $2.20 to $2.30.
  • The increase to fiscal 2022 NFE guidance is due to the expected impact of the recently announced AMAs at Energy Services.
  • NJNG reported first-quarter fiscal 2021 NFE of $49.5 million.
  • The higher results in the quarter were due to higher natural gas storage spreads in the first quarter that benefited the storage incentive program compared to the same period last year.

Headwinds

  • CEV reported a net financial loss of $10.3 million during the first-quarter of fiscal 2021.
  • The decrease was due primarily to higher O&M expenses related to project maintenance costs and additional lease expense associated with new projects placed in service, which was partially offset by a decrease in depreciation expense.
  • Home Services and Other Operations reported first-quarter fiscal 2021 net financial loss of $0.1 million.
  • The decrease in NFE in the first quarter was primarily due to decreased operating revenue and increased interest expense compared to the prior period.
  • Management is not able to reasonably estimate the aggregate impact or significance of these items on reported earnings and, therefore, is not able to provide a reconciliation to the corresponding GAAP equivalent for its operating earnings guidance without unreasonable efforts.
