Emera Inc., a prominent energy service provider in North America, specializes in regulated electric and natural gas utilities, delivering energy to over 2.6 million customers across Canada, the US, and the Caribbean.
In its 2024 fourth quarter and annual financial results, Emera reported a solid performance with a 33% increase in quarterly adjusted earnings per share (EPS) to $0.84, despite a decrease in contributions from the Labrador Island Link. The full-year adjusted EPS remained stable at $2.94, slightly down from $2.96 in 2023.
Key financial metrics revealed that Emera’s annual capital spending reached a record $3.2 billion, spurring a 7% growth in the rate base. However, the company faced challenges with a significant drop in reported EPS, attributed to goodwill impairments and other charges offset by gains from asset sales and tax benefits. The Tampa Electric rate case completion is expected to generate substantial future revenues.
Looking ahead, Emera is focused on executing its ambitious $20 billion five-year capital plan, aimed at enhancing utility reliability and infrastructure, which is expected to drive consistent earnings growth and shareholder value through 2027.
