Forward guidance
The company narrowed its fiscal 2022 NEE guidance range to $3.75 - $3.95 per share, reflecting the deferral of overhead costs at Spire Missouri and year-to-date financial performance.

- Growth strategy in place.
- Expectations of reasonable regulatory outcomes.
- Planned capital investment in infrastructure upgrades.
- Targeted capital investment for the 5-year period through fiscal 2026 remains $3.1 billion.
Headwinds
- Deferral of non-operational overhead costs for Spire Missouri into a regulatory asset.
- Prior-year results reflect the impacts of the February cold weather event (Winter Storm Uri), which led to outsized performance by Gas Marketing, compared to the current-year quarter.
- Performance in the current-year period reflects less favorable market conditions, offset by favorable resolution of certain customer claims from the prior year.
- O&M costs were $4.7 million lower, after removing a $3.1 million non-service cost transfer to other income (no earnings impact) and net regulatory adjustments of $8.0 million, reflecting lower employee-related costs and bad debt expenses.
