The earnings call reflected a generally positive outlook with increased EPS guidance, constructive regulatory outcomes, and effective cost management. However, there were some concerns with decreased net income and increased interest expense.
Company Guidance
During the ONE Gas Q3 2024 earnings call, guidance was updated to reflect an improved financial outlook, with EPS expectations raised to a range of $3.85 to $3.95, a $0.05 increase at the midpoint compared to the original guidance. The company plans to maintain capital expenditures at $750 million for the year. Contributing to the positive guidance revision were factors such as a favorable interest rate environment following a 50 basis point Fed rate cut, effective management of operations and maintenance expenses, and successful regulatory outcomes, including the Kansas rate case settlement and the Central Gulf rate case in Texas. Additionally, ONE Gas reported Q3 net income of $19.3 million or $0.34 per diluted share, which included $17.5 million in revenue from new rates offset by an increase in interest expenses. The board declared a quarterly dividend of $0.66 per share, maintaining a strong balance sheet with a projected adjusted CFO to debt ratio above 19% by year-end.
