2025 GUIDANCE AND LONG-TERM TARGETS
NW Natural Holdings updated 2025 GAAP EPS guidance to $2.65 to $2.85 (from the previous range of $2.66 to $2.86) as a result of the expected transaction costs from the Hughes acquisition.

This guidance assumes continued customer growth, average weather conditions, and no significant changes in prevailing regulatory policies, mechanisms, or assumed outcomes, or significant local, state or federal laws, legislation or regulations.
NW Natural Holdings reaffirmed its long-term EPS growth rate target of 4% to 6% compounded annually from the expected 2025 adjusted EPS3.
We expect NW Natural Holdings capital expenditures for 2025 to be in the range of $450 - $500 million. The timing and amount of the capital expenditures and projects for 2025 or additional investments in our infrastructure during or after 2025 could change based on customer growth, significant changes in prevailing regulatory policies or outcomes, or significant local, state or federal laws, legislation or regulations, or cost estimates. Required funds for the investments are expected to be internally generated or financed with long-term debt or equity, as appropriate.
