Ameren (NYSE: AEE) ha riportato un utile netto nel secondo trimestre 2025 di 275 milioni di dollari, ovvero 1,01 dollari per azione diluita, in aumento rispetto ai 258 milioni di dollari (0,97 dollari per azione) del secondo trimestre 2024. Il miglioramento è stato determinato da maggiori investimenti nelle infrastrutture, nuove tariffe per il servizio elettrico di Ameren Missouri e una gestione rigorosa dei costi, parzialmente compensata da maggiori spese per interessi e da una diminuzione delle vendite al dettaglio.

Nei primi sei mesi del 2025, l'utile netto GAAP ha raggiunto i 564 milioni di dollari (2,08 dollari per azione), rispetto ai 519 milioni di dollari (1,95 dollari per azione) del 2024. La società ha confermato la previsione degli utili per il 2025 compresa tra 4,85 e 5,05 dollari per azione, con una solida performance da inizio anno che posiziona gli utili nella metà superiore della fascia prevista.

Ameren (NYSE: AEE) reportó un ingreso neto en el segundo trimestre de 2025 de 275 millones de dólares, o 1,01 dólares por acción diluida, frente a los 258 millones de dólares (0,97 dólares por acción) del segundo trimestre de 2024. La mejora se debió a mayores inversiones en infraestructura, nuevas tarifas de servicio eléctrico en Ameren Missouri y una gestión disciplinada de costos, parcialmente compensada por mayores gastos por intereses y menores ventas minoristas.

En los primeros seis meses de 2025, el ingreso neto GAAP alcanzó los 564 millones de dólares (2,08 dólares por acción), en comparación con los 519 millones de dólares (1,95 dólares por acción) de 2024. La compañía reafirmó su guía de ganancias para 2025 de 4,85 a 5,05 dólares por acción, con un sólido desempeño en lo que va del año que posiciona las ganancias en la mitad superior del rango previsto.

Ameren (NYSE: AEE)는 2025년 2분기 순이익이 2억 7,500만 달러, 희석 주당 1.01달러를 기록했다고 발표했으며, 이는 2024년 2분기의 2억 5,800만 달러(주당 0.97달러)에서 증가한 수치입니다. 이러한 개선은 인프라 투자 증가, Ameren Missouri의 신규 전기 서비스 요금, 엄격한 비용 관리에 힘입었으며, 일부는 이자 비용 증가와 소매 판매 감소에 의해 상쇄되었습니다.

2025년 상반기 GAAP 순이익은 5억 6,400만 달러(주당 2.08달러)에 달했으며, 2024년의 5억 1,900만 달러(주당 1.95달러)와 비교됩니다. 회사는 2025년 주당 4.85달러에서 5.05달러 사이의 수익 가이던스를 재확인했으며, 올해 들어 강력한 실적이 가이던스 범위 상위권에 수익을 위치시키고 있습니다.

Ameren (NYSE : AEE) a annoncé un bénéfice net au deuxième trimestre 2025 de 275 millions de dollars, soit 1,01 dollar par action diluée, en hausse par rapport à 258 millions de dollars (0,97 dollar/action) au deuxième trimestre 2024. Cette amélioration résulte d'investissements accrus dans les infrastructures, de nouveaux tarifs de service électrique chez Ameren Missouri, et d'une gestion rigoureuse des coûts, partiellement compensée par des charges d'intérêts plus élevées et une baisse des ventes au détail.

Pour les six premiers mois de 2025, le bénéfice net selon les normes GAAP a atteint 564 millions de dollars (2,08 dollars/action), contre 519 millions de dollars (1,95 dollar/action) en 2024. La société a confirmé ses prévisions de bénéfices pour 2025 entre 4,85 et 5,05 dollars par action, une performance solide depuis le début de l'année positionnant les bénéfices dans la moitié supérieure de la fourchette prévue.

Ameren (NYSE: AEE) meldete für das zweite Quartal 2025 einen Nettogewinn von 275 Millionen US-Dollar oder 1,01 US-Dollar je verwässerter Aktie, gegenüber 258 Millionen US-Dollar (0,97 US-Dollar/Aktie) im zweiten Quartal 2024. Die Verbesserung resultierte aus erhöhten Infrastrukturinvestitionen, neuen Stromtarifen bei Ameren Missouri und diszipliniertem Kostenmanagement, teilweise ausgeglichen durch höhere Zinsaufwendungen und geringere Einzelhandelsverkäufe.

Für die ersten sechs Monate 2025 erreichte der GAAP-Nettogewinn 564 Millionen US-Dollar (2,08 US-Dollar/Aktie), verglichen mit 519 Millionen US-Dollar (1,95 US-Dollar/Aktie) im Jahr 2024. Das Unternehmen bestätigte seine Gewinnprognose für 2025 von 4,85 bis 5,05 US-Dollar je Aktie, wobei die starke bisherige Jahresleistung die Gewinne im oberen Bereich der Prognose positioniert.

Insights

Ameren delivered solid Q2 results with 4.1% EPS growth, reaffirming 2025 guidance with strong execution across business segments.

Ameren's second quarter results show healthy growth with diluted EPS increasing to $1.01 from $0.97 in the prior year, representing a 4.1% year-over-year improvement. This growth was primarily driven by three factors: increased infrastructure investments, new electric service rates at Ameren Missouri (effective June 1, 2025), and disciplined cost management.

Looking at the business segments, Ameren Missouri posted the strongest improvement, with earnings rising to $150 million from $128 million, a 17.2% increase. The transmission segment also performed well, growing to $86 million from $79 million. These gains were partially offset by higher interest expenses at the parent company level, where losses increased to $35 million from $16 million.

For the first half of 2025, Ameren reported net income of $564 million ($2.08 per share), compared to $519 million ($1.95 per share) in 2024 - a 6.7% increase in EPS. On an adjusted basis (excluding a $11 million charge in 2024), the six-month EPS growth was 4.5%.

Management has reaffirmed its full-year 2025 EPS guidance of $4.85 to $5.05, but notably indicated they are well-positioned to deliver results in the top half of this range based on strong year-to-date performance. This suggests their internal projections are trending toward the higher end of their public guidance.

The utility continues to execute its strategic priorities of grid hardening, expanding its generation portfolio, and supporting economic development. The results reflect Ameren's ability to effectively deploy capital into rate-based investments while managing costs in a higher interest rate environment. The company's continued focus on regulatory recovery mechanisms across its service territories in Missouri and Illinois remains central to its earnings growth trajectory.

  • Second Quarter Diluted Earnings Per Share were $1.01 in 2025 vs. $0.97 in 2024
  • Reaffirm 2025 Diluted EPS Guidance Range of $4.85 to $5.05 Per Share

ST. LOUIS, July 31, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Ameren Corporation (NYSE: AEE) today announced second quarter 2025 net income attributable to common shareholders of $275 million, or $1.01 per diluted share, compared to second quarter 2024 net income of $258 million, or $0.97 per diluted share.

Second quarter 2025 earnings reflected increased infrastructure investments, new Ameren Missouri electric service rates that became effective June 1, 2025, and continued disciplined cost management. These positive factors were partially offset by higher interest expense at Ameren Parent and Ameren Missouri and lower Ameren Missouri retail sales, primarily driven by near-normal temperatures in the second quarter of 2025 compared to warmer-than-normal temperatures in the prior-year period. Finally, the earnings per diluted share comparison reflected higher weighted-average basic common shares outstanding in the second quarter 2025.

"We are executing across all elements of our strategy, including by hardening the grid, expanding our balanced generation portfolio, and supporting economic development, " said Martin J. Lyons, Jr., chairman, president and chief executive officer of Ameren Corporation. "These efforts reinforce our commitment to investing in a reliable and resilient energy future that provides value for our customers and communities. We remain on track to deliver earnings within our 2025 earnings guidance range of $4.85 to $5.05 per share."

Ameren recorded GAAP net income attributable to common shareholders for the six months ended June 30, 2025, of $564 million, or $2.08 per diluted share, compared to GAAP net income attributable to common shareholders for the six months ended June 30, 2024, of $519 million, or $1.95 per diluted share. Excluding a prior year charge discussed below, Ameren recorded six month 2024 adjusted net income attributable to common shareholders of $530 million, or $1.99 per diluted share. The increase in year-over-year six month earnings reflected increased infrastructure investments, new Ameren Missouri electric service rates and higher Ameren Missouri electric retail sales. These positive factors were partially offset by higher interest expense at Ameren Missouri and Ameren Parent.

A reconciliation of three-month and six-month GAAP to adjusted earnings is reflected in the table below. There were no adjustments to 2025 or second quarter 2024 earnings. A charge for additional mitigation relief related to Ameren Missouri's Rush Island Energy Center, which decreased first quarter 2024 earnings by $11 million, was excluded from adjusted six-month 2024 earnings.

Earnings Guidance

Today, Ameren reaffirms its 2025 earnings per share guidance range of $4.85 to $5.05. Due to strong year-to-date performance, Ameren is well positioned to deliver 2025 earnings in the top half of its 2025 earnings guidance range. Earnings guidance for 2025 assumes normal temperatures for the last six months of the year and is subject to the effects of, among other things: regulatory, judicial and legislative actions; energy center and energy transmission and distribution operations; energy, economic, capital and credit market conditions; customer usage; severe storms; market returns on company-owned life insurance investments; unusual or otherwise unexpected gains or losses; and other risks and uncertainties outlined, or referred to, in the Forward-looking Statements section of this press release.

Ameren Missouri Segment Results

Ameren Missouri second quarter 2025 earnings were $150 million, compared to second quarter 2024 earnings of $128 million. The year-over-year increase reflected new electric service rates that became effective June 1, 2025, earnings on increased infrastructure investments and lower operations and maintenance expenses. These positive factors were partially offset by lower electric retail sales, primarily driven by near-normal temperatures in the second quarter of 2025 compared to warmer-than-normal temperatures in the prior-year period, and higher interest expense.

Ameren Transmission Segment Results

Ameren Transmission second quarter 2025 earnings were $86 million, compared to second quarter 2024 earnings of $79 million.

Ameren Illinois Electric Distribution Segment Results

Ameren Illinois Electric Distribution second quarter 2025 earnings were $64 million, compared to second quarter 2024 earnings of $61 million.

Ameren Illinois Natural Gas Segment Results

Ameren Illinois Natural Gas second quarter 2025 earnings were $10 million, compared to second quarter 2024 earnings of $6 million.

Ameren Parent Results (includes items not reported in a business segment)

Ameren Parent's second quarter 2025 loss was $35 million, compared to a second quarter 2024 loss of $16 million. The year-over-year comparison reflected higher interest expense.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In this release, Ameren has presented adjusted earnings and adjusted earnings per share, which are non-GAAP measures and may not be comparable to those of other companies. A reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP information is included in this release. Generally, adjusted earnings or losses include earnings or losses attributable to Ameren common shareholders and exclude income or loss from significant discrete items that management does not consider representative of ongoing earnings, such as the cumulative impact of the first and third quarter 2024 charges for additional mitigation relief related to an agreement in principle to settle the New Source Review (NSR) and Clean Air Act proceeding and a third quarter 2024 charge for customer refunds related to the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission's (FERC) October 2024 order on MISO's allowed base return on equity (ROE), both of which related to matters that had been ongoing for over ten years. Ameren uses adjusted earnings internally for financial planning and for analysis of performance. Ameren also uses adjusted earnings as the primary performance measurement when communicating with analysts and investors regarding our earnings results and outlook, as the company believes that adjusted earnings allow the company to more accurately compare its ongoing performance across periods. In providing adjusted earnings guidance, there could be differences between adjusted earnings and earnings prepared in accordance with GAAP as a result of our treatment of certain items, such as those described above.
