Rhea-AI Summary
Dominion Energy, Inc. (NYSE: D) reported fourth-quarter 2023 GAAP net income of $0.30 per share and operating earnings of $0.29 per share. Full-year 2023 GAAP net income was $2.29 per share, with operating earnings at $1.99 per share. The company affirmed business review commitments, announced a noncontrolling equity partnership interest sale in CVOW, provided project updates, and scheduled an investor meeting. Dominion Energy also agreed to sell a 50% interest in CVOW to Stonepeak, retaining operational control. The CVOW project remains on time and on budget, set to be the largest U.S. offshore wind farm by 2026.
Positive
  • Strong fourth-quarter 2023 financial performance with GAAP net income of $0.30 per share.
  • Operating earnings for the same period stood at $0.29 per share.
  • Full-year 2023 saw GAAP net income of $2.29 per share and operating earnings of $1.99 per share.
  • Affirmed business review commitments and priorities.
  • Agreement to sell a noncontrolling equity partnership interest in CVOW.
  • CVOW project updates confirm on time, on budget status.
  • Scheduled business review investor meeting for March 1, 2024.
  • Sale of 50% noncontrolling interest in CVOW to Stonepeak, ensuring operational control retention by Dominion Energy.
  • CVOW, set to be the largest U.S. offshore wind farm, on track to power 660,000 homes by late 2026.
Negative
  • None.

The reported fourth-quarter and full-year financial results for Dominion Energy, Inc. reveal a significant year-over-year decrease in operating earnings, which could be interpreted as a potential concern for profitability and operational efficiency. Despite the GAAP net income showing an increase for the full year, the decline in operating earnings from $3.06 to $1.99 per share is a substantial drop. This divergence between GAAP and non-GAAP earnings warrants a closer examination of non-recurring items and accounting adjustments that may have influenced these figures. It's critical for investors to understand the nature of these discrepancies, as they could either represent one-time events or signal underlying issues that could affect future performance.

Furthermore, the announcement of the sale of a 50% noncontrolling interest in the Coastal Virginia Offshore Wind (CVOW) project to Stonepeak is a strategic move that could bolster Dominion's balance sheet and mitigate risk through cost-sharing. This divestiture aligns with the company's business review commitments and could be viewed favorably by the market, given Stonepeak's reputable background in infrastructure investments. However, the anticipated closing by the end of 2024 suggests that the financial impact of this transaction will not be immediate and the long-term benefits will hinge on the successful execution of the CVOW project.

The energy sector is increasingly transitioning towards renewable sources and Dominion Energy's CVOW project plays a significant role in this shift. As the largest offshore wind farm in the U.S., CVOW's progress is critical not only for Dominion but also for the broader industry's move toward clean energy. The affirmation of the project's on-time and on-budget status is a positive signal for stakeholders concerned with project execution risks. It's important to note that offshore wind projects are capital-intensive and complex, which makes the on-time and on-budget completion a challenging but essential aspect for investor confidence.

The strategic partnership with Stonepeak could provide Dominion with not only financial backing but also with a level of expertise in managing large-scale infrastructure projects. This could potentially accelerate the project's development and enhance its chances of success. The impact of CVOW on Dominion's financials will be more pronounced once the project is operational, with the potential to generate a stable and long-term revenue stream from the sale of clean energy. The project's scale and the involvement of experienced suppliers and partners underscore its significance within the renewable energy landscape.

Investor sentiment often reacts to both the financial performance of a company and its strategic decisions. Dominion Energy's recent financial results, coupled with the key strategic move to sell a stake in the CVOW project, will likely influence investor perception. While the decline in operating earnings may raise questions about the company's current profitability trends, the sale of the equity stake could be seen as a proactive measure to strengthen the company's financial position and share risk. This is particularly relevant given the current economic climate where investors are closely monitoring companies' balance sheets and cash flow management.

Moreover, the renewable energy sector is attracting significant investor interest due to the global push for sustainability. Dominion's commitment to CVOW and the partnership with Stonepeak may enhance the company's appeal to environmentally conscious investors and those looking for exposure to renewable energy assets. The scheduled business review investor meeting on March 1, 2024, will be an important event for the market, providing further insights into Dominion's strategic and financial repositioning. The details shared during this meeting could have a material impact on investor confidence and the company's stock performance going forward.

  • Full year 2023 GAAP net income of $2.29 per share; operating earnings (non-GAAP) of $1.99 per share
  • Affirms previously communicated business review commitments and priorities
  • Announces agreement to sell a noncontrolling equity partnership interest in CVOW in a highly credit positive transaction that features robust cost and risk-sharing and is consistent with objectives of the business review
  • Provides key project updates on CVOW and affirms on time, on budget status
  • Schedules business review investor meeting for March 1, 2024, to conclude business review and provide comprehensive update on repositioned strategic and financial outlook

RICHMOND, Va., Feb. 22, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- 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, 2023, of $273 million ($0.30 per share) compared with net income of $344 million ($0.39 per share) for the same period in 2022, with net income of $2.0 billion ($2.29 per share) for the 12 months ended Dec. 31, 2023, compared with net income of $1.3 billion ($1.49 per share) for the same period in 2022.

Operating earnings (non-GAAP) for the three months ended Dec. 31, 2023, were $267 million ($0.29 per share), compared to operating earnings of $652 million ($0.76 per share) for the same period in 2022.  Operating earnings for the 12 months ended Dec. 31, 2023, were $1.7 billion ($1.99 per share) compared with operating earnings of $2.6 billion ($3.06 per share) for the same period in 2022.

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.

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. Effective January 2022, the calculation of diluted reported and operating earnings per share assumes conversion, if dilutive, of the Series A preferred stock to common stock as of January 1, 2022. The Series A preferred stock was reclassified to a liability in June 2022 and redeemed in September 2022. During each quarter of 2023 and 2022, the calculation of reported and operating earnings per share includes the impact of preferred dividends associated with preferred stock of $9 million (Series B) and $11 million (Series C). Reported earnings per share for the twelve months ended December 31, 2022 also includes the impact of preferred dividends associated with Series A preferred stock of $12 million. See Forms 10-Q and 10-K for additional information.

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. As a result of reported net loss for the three months ended June 30, any adjustments to earnings or shares would be considered antidilutive and are excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share. Effective January 2022, the calculation of diluted reported and operating earnings per share assumes conversion, if dilutive, of the Series A preferred stock to common stock as of January 1, 2022. The Series A preferred stock was reclassified to a liability in June 2022 and redeemed in September 2022. During each quarter of 2022, the calculation of reported and operating earnings per share includes the impact of preferred dividends associated with preferred stock of $9 million (Series B) and $11 million (Series C, issued in December 2021). Reported earnings per share for the three months ended June 30, 2022 and the twelve months ended December 31, 2022 also includes the impact of preferred dividends associated with Series A preferred stock of $5 million and $12 million, respectively. See Forms 10-Q and 10-K for additional information.

(3)

In the fourth quarter of 2022, Dominion Energy determined that its nonregulated solar generation assets within the Contracted Assets segment were impaired following the determination that it expects it is more likely than not such assets will be sold before the end of their useful lives.

(4)

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.

(5)

Represents deferred taxes related to the basis in Hope Gas, Inc.'s stock that reversed when the sale closed in the third quarter of 2022. This charge is reflected as a component of current income tax expense on the sale in the third quarter of 2022.

(6)

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