Briefing
Unitil's Q4 2025 earnings report showed a decrease in revenue and net income compared to the previous year, primarily due to lower electric and gas sales.

Net income also saw a significant drop to $10.5 million, or $0.65 per diluted share, compared to $14.1 million, or $0.88 per diluted share, in Q4 2024.
