Insights

Dominion Energy's 2024 results reveal important insights about the utility's financial health and strategic positioning. The $2.77 operating earnings per share landing in the upper half of guidance demonstrates resilient operational execution, particularly noteworthy given the headwinds from unfavorable weather conditions in their service territories.

The 42% year-over-year improvement in operating earnings (from $1.95 to $2.77 per share) showcases strong operational momentum. However, the substantial gap between GAAP ($2.44) and operating earnings ($2.77) warrants scrutiny, primarily driven by nuclear decommissioning trust performance and hedging activities - typical for utilities but important for earnings quality assessment.

The narrowed 2025 guidance range of $3.28-$3.52 while maintaining the $3.40 midpoint suggests two key insights: 1) Management has increased visibility into near-term performance drivers, and 2) The 22.7% projected growth from 2024's $2.77 to 2025's $3.40 midpoint appears ambitious but may reflect confidence in regulatory outcomes and capital deployment plans.

The reaffirmed 5-7% long-term growth target through 2029 positions Dominion among the more aggressive growth utilities. This target's achievability will likely hinge on successful execution of their capital program and favorable regulatory treatment, particularly given the industry's challenges with rising interest rates and inflation pressures.

The preservation of credit and dividend guidance provides important stability signals to fixed-income and equity investors, though the sustainability of these commitments should be monitored against actual cash flow generation and balance sheet metrics in coming quarters.

  • Full year 2024 GAAP net income of $2.44 per share; operating earnings (non-GAAP) of $2.77 per share
  • Fourth-quarter 2024 GAAP net income of $0.15 per share; operating earnings (non-GAAP) of $0.58 per share
  • Company narrows 2025 operating EPS range to $3.28 to $3.52 per share; preserves original midpoint of $3.40 per share
  • Company reaffirms its existing guidance for long-term operating EPS growth rate, credit & dividend

RICHMOND, Va.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Dominion Energy, Inc. (NYSE: D), today announced unaudited net income determined in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP, or reported earnings) for the three months ended Dec. 31, 2024, of $145 million ($0.15 per share) compared with net income of $331 million ($0.37 per share) for the same period in 2023, with net income of $2.1 billion ($2.44 per share) for the 12 months ended Dec. 31, 2024, compared with net income of $2.0 billion ($2.33 per share) for the same period in 2023.

“We delivered 2024 operating earnings per share in the top half of our guidance range despite worse-than-normal weather in our regulated service areas. In addition, we continued to successfully provide the reliable, affordable, and increasingly clean energy that powers our customers every day while achieving near-record employee safety performance,” said Bob Blue, chair, president and chief executive officer of Dominion Energy.

Operating earnings (non-GAAP) for the three months ended Dec. 31, 2024, were $504 million ($0.58 per share), compared to operating earnings of $260 million ($0.29 per share) for the same period in 2023. Operating earnings for the 12 months ended Dec. 31, 2024, were $2.4 billion ($2.77 per share) compared with operating earnings of $1.7 billion ($1.95 per share) for the same period in 2023.

Differences between GAAP and operating earnings for the period include gains and losses on nuclear decommissioning trust funds, mark-to-market impact of economic hedging activities, a net benefit from discontinued operations primarily associated with the sale of gas distribution operations, and other adjustments. 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.

Important note to investors regarding operating, reported earnings

Dominion Energy uses operating earnings (non-GAAP) as the primary performance measurement of its results for public communications with analysts and investors. Operating earnings are defined as reported earnings adjusted for certain items. 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, the mark-to-market impact of economic hedging activities, gains and losses on nuclear decommissioning trust funds, market-related impacts on pension and other postretirement benefit plans, 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. Accordingly, Dominion Energy is not able to provide a corresponding GAAP equivalent for its operating earnings guidance.

Schedule 2 - Reconciliation of 2024 Reported Earnings to Operating Earnings

2024 Earnings (Twelve Months Ended December 31, 2024)

The $410 million pre-tax net loss of the adjustments included in 2024 reported earnings, but excluded from operating earnings, is primarily related to the following items:

  • $5 million net market loss primarily associated with $372 million on pension and other postretirement benefit (OPEB) plans and $198 million in economic hedging activities offset by $565 million from nuclear decommissioning trusts (NDT).
  • $228 million of net benefit from discontinued operations primarily related to a $247 million benefit associated with gas distribution operations (inclusive of a $130 million net loss on sales related to the East Ohio, Questar Gas and PSNC Transactions).
  • $276 million of regulated asset retirements and other charges primarily associated with a $103 million charge for Virginia Power’s share of costs not expected to be recovered from customers on the Coastal Virginia Offshore Wind (CVOW) Commercial project, a $58 million charge from the South Carolina electric rate case, $40 million in demolition and decommissioning costs at Virginia Power and a $30 million write off of certain early stage development costs for potential electric generation projects in Virginia no longer under consideration.
  • $229 million of nonregulated asset impairments and other charges related to a $122 million ARO revision at Millstone nuclear power station, $60 million of impairment charges associated with certain nonregulated renewable natural gas facilities and a $47 million charge in connection with the settlement of an agreement.

The calculation of reported and operating earnings per share on a consolidated basis utilizes shares outstanding on a diluted basis with all dilutive impacts, primarily consisting of potential shares which had not yet been issued, reflected in the Corporate and Other segment. The calculation of operating earnings per share for the three months ended June 30, 2024 and for the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2024 excludes a deemed dividend of $9 million, $1 million and $10 million, respectively, associated with the Company's repurchase of certain Series B preferred stock. During each quarter of 2024, the calculation of reported and operating earnings per share includes the impact of preferred dividends associated with Series B preferred stock of $9 million, $8 million, $4 million and $3 million, respectively. During each quarter of 2024, the calculation of reported and operating earnings per share includes the impact of preferred dividends associated with Series C preferred stock of $11 million. See Forms 10-Q and 10-K for additional information.

(3)

 

Excludes a $578 million tax benefit on non-deductible goodwill associated with the sale of gas distribution operations. Income taxes for individual pre-tax items include current and deferred taxes using a transactional effective tax rate. For interim reporting purposes, calculation of such amounts may be adjusted in connection with the calculation of the Company’s year-to-date income tax provision based on its estimated annual effective tax rate.

(4)

 

Represents the reversal of previously established deferred taxes related to the basis in the stock of the gas distribution operations.

(5)

 

YTD EPS may not equal sum of quarters due to share count differences.

Schedule 3 - Reconciliation of 2023 Reported Earnings to Operating Earnings

2023 Earnings (Twelve months ended December 31, 2023)

The $1.8 billion pre-tax net income of the adjustments included in 2023 reported earnings, but excluded from operating earnings, is primarily related to the following items:

  • $1.2 billion of net benefit from discontinued operations, primarily related to a $722 million benefit associated with the sale of the remaining non-controlling interest in Cove Point (including $626 million net gain on sale) and a $544 million benefit associated with the gas distribution operations expected to be sold to Enbridge (inclusive of a $286 million impairment charge associated with the East Ohio and Questar Gas Transactions).
  • $1.2 billion net market benefit primarily associated with $411 million from nuclear decommissioning trusts (NDT), $758 million in economic hedging activities and $36 million on pension and other postretirement benefit (OPEB) plans.
  • $370 million of regulated asset retirements and other charges primarily associated with the settlement of Virginia Power’s 2021 triennial review.
  • $118 million of nonregulated asset impairments and other charges primarily related to an ARO revision at Millstone nuclear power station in connection with the expected approval of an operating license extension.
