Over the last few weeks, SR has announced several portfolio-shaping transactions and capital actions. On Apr 22, it agreed to sell its Mississippi gas business for $75 million, and the same day a related acquisition headline appeared, both followed by modest share declines. On Apr 30, Spire completed the sale of Spire Marketing for $215 million, again with a slightly negative reaction. In contrast, a dividend declaration on Apr 30 with a $0.825 per‑share payout coincided with a positive move, highlighting investor sensitivity to income stability.
Regulatory & Risk Context
An effective S-3ASR filed on 2026-04-29 registers 250,000 shares for a Dividend Reinvestment and Direct Stock Purchase Plan, providing a mechanism to issue common stock for general corporate purposes. This structure can support ongoing capital needs in small, programmatic increments.
Market Pulse Summary
This announcement highlights stronger Q2 performance and a sharper focus on regulated gas utilities. Net income grew to $217.6 million with adjusted EPS of $3.76, and the Gas Utility segment delivered higher adjusted earnings. Management lowered FY26 adjusted EPS guidance to $3.90–$4.10 but reaffirmed FY27 guidance of $5.40–$5.60 and a 5–7% long-term growth target, supported by a $11.2 billion capital plan. Investors may watch execution on divestitures, Tennessee integration, and future capital raising under the effective shelf.

Adjusted earnings exclude from net income, as applicable, the impacts of fair value accounting and timing adjustments associated with energy-related transactions, the impacts of acquisition, divestiture and restructuring activities, and the largely non-cash impacts of other non-recurring or unusual items such as impairments and certain regulatory, legislative, or GAAP standard-setting actions.

Continuing operations
For the first six months of fiscal 2026, Spire reported consolidated net income of
Gas Utility results reflect solid performance across all utilities. Earnings were higher primarily due to new Spire Missouri rates effective in October 2025 and Spire Alabama rates under the RSE mechanism that were effective in December 2025. After adjusting for the impact of a pension reclass and bad debt expense, lower operation and maintenance expenses and favorable off-system sales also benefited earnings compared to prior year. These items were offset, in part, by lower weather-related usage, net of weather mitigation, at Spire Missouri and Spire Alabama, higher depreciation costs, increased taxes other than income taxes and higher interest expense. Spire
Spire's other activities reflect higher corporates costs and interest expense in the current year.

Forward-Looking Information and Non-GAAP Measures
This news release contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. All statements, other than statements of historical fact, including statements regarding our expectations, plans and objectives for future performance, future operating results, earnings guidance, capital investment plans, and the expected timing and benefits of, and risks associated with, acquisitions, dispositions and related integration and transition activities (including the acquisition of the Piedmont Natural Gas Tennessee business, the sale of Spire Marketing and the announced sales of Spire Storage and Spire Mississippi), are forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements may be identified by words such as "estimates," "expects," "projects," "anticipates," "intends," "targets," "plans," "forecasts," "may," "likely," "would," "should," "anticipated" and similar expressions. Although the forward-looking statements contained in this news release are based on estimates and assumptions that management believes are reasonable, various uncertainties and risk factors may cause future performance or results to be different than those anticipated, including, among other things, weather conditions and catastrophic events; economic factors; the competitive environment; governmental and regulatory policy and action; the satisfaction of conditions to, and the timing and completion of, the announced dispositions (including receipt of required regulatory approvals); our ability to realize anticipated benefits from completed and announced transactions; transaction costs and potential disruption from completed and announced transactions; and our ability to retain and hire key personnel. More complete descriptions and listings of these uncertainties and risk factors can be found in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K, Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and Current Reports on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Such forward-looking statements are made based on information available as of the date of this document, and Spire undertakes no obligation to revise or update such statements to reflect subsequent events or circumstances, except as otherwise required by securities and other applicable laws.
This news release includes the non-GAAP financial measures of "adjusted earnings," "adjusted earnings per share," and "contribution margin." Management also uses these non-GAAP measures internally when evaluating the Company's performance and results of operations. Adjusted earnings exclude from net income, to the extent incurred in a given period, the impacts of acquisition, divestiture and restructuring activities and the largely non-cash impacts of impairments, and the impacts of certain regulatory, legislative, or GAAP standard-setting actions. Contribution margin adjusts revenues to remove the costs that are directly passed on to customers and collected through revenues, which are the wholesale cost of natural gas and gross receipts taxes. These internal non-GAAP operating metrics should not be considered as an alternative to, or more meaningful than, GAAP measures such as operating income, net income, or earnings per share.
