The clean heat mandate for new buildings represents a structural growth driver that should support long-term electricity demand in Con Edison's service territory. This regulatory-driven growth, combined with the company's essential service nature in America's largest metropolitan area, provides a compelling foundation for its investment thesis despite the substantial capital needs ahead.
For the fourth quarter of 2024, net income for common stock was
"The effective implementation of our strategy yielded strong results in 2024. We support our customers' adoption of clean energy technologies while delivering the most reliable electric service in the nation," said Tim Cawley, the chairman and CEO of Con Edison. "We are optimistic about growth and are well positioned to continue to meet demand to power the electrification of buildings and transportation throughout our service territory with increased capital investments in grid infrastructure. This was underpinned by big wins last year, such as breaking ground and progressing construction of key substations and advancing a pair of new transmission lines under our Reliable Clean City program. We anticipate demand for electrification to grow steadily in 2025, driven by an increase in new construction downstate combined with policymaker's requirements for clean heat in new commercial and residential buildings."
"Our 2024 financial performance was driven by strong execution within our utility rate plans including ongoing investment to ensure reliability while continuing to support the clean energy transition," said Kirk Andrews, senior vice president and CFO. "The successful execution of an equity forward transaction in the fourth quarter provides us greater pricing certainty for a meaningful portion of our estimated 2025 equity funding needs."

The company's 2024 Annual Report on Form 10-K is being filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. A 2024 earnings release presentation will be available at www.conedison.com. (Select "For Investors" and then select "Press Releases.")
This press release contains forward-looking statements that are intended to qualify for the safe-harbor provisions of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Forward-looking statements are statements of future expectations and not facts. Words such as "forecasts," "expects," "estimates," "anticipates," "intends," "believes," "plans," "will," "target," "guidance," "potential," "goal," "consider" and similar expressions identify forward-looking statements. The forward-looking statements reflect information available and assumptions at the time the statements are made, and accordingly speak only as of that time.
Actual results or developments might differ materially from those included in the forward-looking statements because of various factors such as those identified in reports Con Edison has filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including that Con Edison's subsidiaries are extensively regulated and may be subject to substantial penalties; its utility subsidiaries' rate plans may not provide a reasonable return; it may be adversely affected by changes to the utility subsidiaries' rate plans; the failure of, or damage to, its subsidiaries' facilities could adversely affect it; a cyber-attack could adversely affect it; the failure of processes and systems, the failure to retain and attract employees and contractors, and their negative performance could adversely affect it; it is exposed to risks from the environmental consequences of its subsidiaries' operations, including increased costs related to climate change; its ability to pay dividends or interest depends on dividends from its subsidiaries; changes to tax laws could adversely affect it; it requires access to capital markets to satisfy funding requirements; a disruption in the wholesale energy markets, increased commodity costs or failure by an energy supplier or customer could adversely affect it; it faces risks related to health epidemics and other outbreaks; its strategies may not be effective to address changes in the external business environment; it faces risks related to supply chain disruptions, inflation and the imposition of tariffs; and it also faces other risks that are beyond its control. This list of factors is not all-inclusive because it is not possible to predict all factors that could cause actual results or developments to differ from the forward-looking statements. Con Edison assumes no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by law.
This press release also contains financial measures, adjusted earnings and adjusted earnings per share, that are not determined in accordance with GAAP. These non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered as an alternative to net income for common stock or net income per share, respectively, each of which is an indicator of financial performance determined in accordance with GAAP. Adjusted earnings and adjusted earnings per share exclude from net income for common stock and net income per share, respectively, certain items that Con Edison does not consider indicative of its ongoing financial performance such as adjustments to the gain and other impacts related to the sale of all of the stock of its former subsidiary, the Clean Energy Businesses, in 2023, the effects of HLBV accounting for tax equity investments, mark-to-market accounting and accretion of the basis difference of Con Edison's equity investment in MVP. Management uses these non-GAAP financial measures to facilitate the analysis of Con Edison's financial performance as compared to its internal budgets and previous financial results and to communicate to investors and others Con Edison's expectations regarding its future earnings and dividends on its common stock. Management believes that these non-GAAP financial measures are also useful and meaningful to investors to facilitate their analysis of Con Edison's financial performance.
