RICHMOND, Va., Nov. 5, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Dominion Energy (NYSE: D) today announced unaudited reported earnings determined in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (reported earnings) for the three months ended Sept. 30, 2020, of $356 million ($0.41 per share) compared with a net income of $975 million ($1.17 per share) for the same period in 2019. 

Operating earnings for the three months ended Sept. 30, 2020, were $916 million ($1.08 per share), compared to operating earnings of $946 million ($1.15 per share) for the same period in 2019.  The company estimates that its third-quarter 2020 operating earnings were positively impacted by $0.04 per share due to better-than-normal weather in its utility service areas.

The difference between GAAP and operating earnings for the three months ended Sept. 30, 2020, was primarily attributable to the recognition of a customer credit reinvestment offset for the benefit of customers in Virginia, charges associated with long-term contracted renewable portfolio outside the company's core service areas and net gains on nuclear decommissioning trust funds. 

Operating earnings are defined as reported earnings adjusted for certain items.  Details of operating earnings as compared to prior periods, business segment results and detailed descriptions of items included in reported earnings but excluded from operating earnings can be found on Schedules 1, 2, 3 and 4 of this release. 

Guidance

Dominion Energy expects fourth-quarter operating earnings in the range of $0.73 to $0.87 per share.

The company affirms its full-year 2020 operating earnings guidance range of $3.37 to $3.63 per share and expects weather-normal operating EPS for 2020 to be above the guidance range midpoint.

The company also affirms its long-term earnings and dividend growth guidance.

Webcast today

The company will host its third-quarter earnings conference call at 11 a.m. ET on Thursday, Nov. 5, 2020.  Management will discuss third-quarter financial results and other matters of interest to the financial community. 

A live webcast of the conference call, including accompanying slides and other financial information, will be available at investors.dominionenergy.com. A replay of the webcast will be available on the investor relations website by the end of the day Nov. 5.

To join telephonically, domestic callers should dial 1-800-341-6228.  International callers should dial 1-334-777-6993.  The passcode for the conference call is 63771662#.  Participants should dial in 10 to 15 minutes prior to the scheduled start time.  A replay of the conference call will be available beginning at about 3 p.m. ET Nov. 5 and lasting until 11 p.m. ET Nov. 12.  Domestic callers may access the recording by dialing 1-877-919-4059.  International callers should dial 1-334-323-0140.  The PIN for the replay is 65141144. 

Important note to investors regarding operating, reported earnings

Dominion Energy uses operating earnings as the primary performance measurement of its earnings guidance and results for public communications with analysts and investors.  Dominion Energy also uses operating earnings internally for budgeting, for reporting to the Board of Directors, for the company's incentive compensation plans and for its targeted dividend payouts and other purposes. Dominion Energy management believes operating earnings provide a more meaningful representation of the company's fundamental earnings power.

In providing its operating earnings guidance, the company notes that there could be differences between expected reported earnings and estimated operating earnings for matters such as, but not limited to, acquisitions, divestitures or extreme weather events and other natural disasters.  At this time, Dominion Energy management is not able to estimate the aggregate impact of these items on future period reported earnings.

Other risk factors are detailed from time to time in Dominion Energy's quarterly reports on Form 10-Q and most recent annual report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

2019 Earnings (Twelve months ended December 31, 2019)

The $2.0 billion pre-tax net effect of the adjustments included in 2019 reported earnings, but excluded from operating earnings, is primarily related to the following items:

  • $2.4 billion of merger and integration-related costs associated with the SCANA Combination, primarily reflecting $1 billion for refunds of amounts previously collected from retail electric customers of Dominion Energy South Carolina (DESC) for the NND Project, $383 million associated with a voluntary retirement program (which includes $111 million for employee benefit plan curtailment), and $641 million associated with litigation.
  • $769 million of charges at our regulated entities, primarily consisting of the retirement of electric generation facilities in cold reserve and certain automated meters and a purchase power contract termination.
  • $612 million of net income from discontinued operations primarily associated with the sale of the Gas Transmission & Storage segment.
  • $113 million benefit from the revision of certain asset retirement obligations for ash ponds and landfills at certain utility generation facilities, in connection with the enactment of Virginia legislation in March.
  • $553 million net gain related to our investments in nuclear decommissioning trust funds.
