Earnings Scheduled For November 12, 2024

On October 25, 2024, the OPUC issued an order approving the Stipulations and resolving the remaining open items in the Rate Case. Along with resolving several non-revenue items, the OPUC affirmed its decision in NW Natural's prior general rate case docket to phase out NW Natural's line extension allowance (LEA) by November 1, 2027. Additionally, the OPUC ordered a downward adjustment to rate base of $13.7 million of undepreciated line extension costs, which we expect to result in a non-cash, pre-tax charge of approximately $13.7 million, or approximately $10.1 million after-tax (or approximately 26 cents per share1), in the fourth quarter of 2024.
 &nbsp;
The final order and adjustments for completed capital projects resulted in a revenue requirement increase of $93.3 million over existing rates. Average rate base after final adjustments for completed capital projects was $2.09 billion or an increase of $334 million since the last rate case.
 &nbsp;
NW Natural expects new rates to take effect November 1, 2024.

OPUC Approves Northwest Natural's Rate Case, Phases Out Line Extension Allowance By 2027, And Orders $13.7M Rate Base Reduction; Revenue Requirement Increases By $93.3M With Adjusted Rate Base At $2.09B; New Rates To Begin November 1, 2024

On August 2, 2024, NW Holdings reaffirmed 2024 annual earnings guidance in the range of $2.20 to $2.40 per share on a generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) basis. When set, that guidance range did not assume the above-described disallowance. Therefore, NW Holdings is revising its 2024 annual guidance range to $1.94 to $2.14 per share on a GAAP basis, or $2.20 to $2.40 per share on a non-GAAP adjusted basis, with the only adjustment to the GAAP guidance numbers being the exclusion of the $13.7 million non-cash, pre-tax charge (approximately $10.1 million or 26 cents per share after-tax1).
