Avista Corporation Q1 2025 Earnings Summary

Consolidated Earnings: $0.98 per diluted share in Q1 2025, up from $0.91 in Q1 2024 (approximately 7.7% improvement). Results were slightly below consensus but aligned with internal expectations and support full-year 2025 guidance.

Key Financial & Operational Highlights

  • Avista Utilities Performance: Drove nearly 8% improvement in consolidated results vs. Q1 2024, primarily from improved utility margins and constructive regulatory outcomes.
  • Energy Recovery Mechanism (ERM): Recognized $7 million pre-tax expense in Q1 2025 (largely as expected); this contributes to the guided negative $0.12 impact for the full year (90% customer / 10% company sharing band).
  • Other Businesses: $0.03 loss per diluted share in Q1 2025 due to market volatility, early-stage JV losses, and borrowing costs (guidance remains zero contribution for 2025 with expected long-term returns).
  • Capital Expenditures: $100 million in Q1 2025; full-year 2025 expected at $525 million. 2025–2029 total projected at nearly $3 billion (5–6% annual growth rate). Excludes potential RFP-related or large-load incremental spend.
