Avangrid, Inc. (AGR - Free Report) reported third-quarter 2024 earnings of 55 cents per share, which surpassed the Zacks Consensus Estimate of 33 cents by 66.7%. The bottom line also increased 104% from the year-ago figure of 27 cents.
Total Revenues
Operating revenues amounted to $2.08 billion, which beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $2.01 billion by 3.7%. The top line also increased 5.5% from $1.97 billion reported in the comparable period of 2023.
Operating expenses totaled $1.83 billion, down 3.1% from the year-ago recorded number of $1.89 billion. This was due to a decrease in purchased power, natural gas and fuel used and lower operation and maintenance expenses.
The operating income amounted to $254 million, up 185% from $89 million reported a year ago.
The adjusted net income was $211 million, up 101% from $105 million recorded in the comparable period of 2023.
In the third quarter, the business completed installing modules at the True North, a 238 MW clean energy solar project in Texas and started work on the Camino, a 57 MW solar farm, which is the company's first solar farm in California.
The Commonwealth of Massachusetts awarded Avangrid’s New England Wind 1 offshore wind project 791 MW in the multi-state regional offshore wind solicitation. AGR was awarded a $425 million Federal capacity contract in connection with its upcoming transmission request for proposal bid in Maine, one of the largest Federal investments in energy development in the state’s history.
Segmental Details
Networks’ adjusted net income was $161 million, up 75% from $92 million reported in the year-ago quarter. This was due to the execution of existing rate plans in New York and Maine.
Renewables’ adjusted net income was $93 million compared with $9 million a year ago. This was due to strong balancing resource performance and increased pricing, partially offset by increased depreciation expense and lower production.
Corporate and Others’ net loss was $48 million compared with a reported net loss of $43 million in the year-ago quarter.
