NWN EPS Beats Estimates
Northwest Natural (NYSE:NWN), a regulated utility with operations in natural gas, water, and related services across the Pacific Northwest and Texas, released results for its second quarter on August 4, 2025. The quarter’s headline was a Non-GAAP adjusted earnings per share (EPS) of $0.01, a notable turnaround from an analyst estimate of $(0.13) non-GAAP and improvement over the prior year period’s $(0.07) per share net loss. However, revenue (GAAP) totaled $236.2 million, up 11.6% year over year (GAAP). Management highlighted steady organic customer growth, results from recent Texas and water utility acquisitions, and an Oregon rate case settlement as key drivers. Increased operating and interest costs partially offset these gains, but the company reaffirmed its full-year adjusted earnings guidance.
