Third Quarter 2022 Results
For the three-month period ended September 30, 2022, SJI
reported consolidated GAAP earnings of $(37.8) million compared
with $(25.8) million in the prior year period.
SJI uses the non-GAAP measure of economic earnings when
discussing results. We believe this presentation provides clarity
into the continuing earnings of our business. A full explanation
and reconciliation of economic earnings is provided under
“Explanation and Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures”
later in this report and in our 10-K for the year ending
December 31, 2021.
For the three-month period ended September 30, 2022, economic
earnings were $(22.4) million compared with $(18.8) million in the
prior year period.
UTILITY
Utility entities include the regulated operations of South
Jersey Gas (SJG) and Elizabethtown Gas (ETG). Third quarter 2022
GAAP earnings were $(24.5) million compared with $(9.4) million in
2021. Economic earnings were $(19.3) million compared with $(17.2)
million in 2021.
South Jersey Gas
Performance. Third quarter 2022 GAAP/economic
earnings were $(8.1) million compared with $(7.7) million in 2021.
Utility margin increased $1.9 million, reflecting customer growth
and the roll-in of investments from infrastructure replacement
programs. We define utility margin, a non-GAAP measure, as natural
gas revenues plus depreciation and amortization expenses, less
natural gas costs, regulatory rider expenses and related volumetric
and revenue-based energy taxes. Total expenses increased $2.3
million, primarily reflecting higher depreciation and interest
expenses.
Customer Growth. SJG added approximately 5,000
new customers over the last 12 months and now serves approximately
412,000 customers. SJG’s 1.2% customer growth rate compares
favorably to the peer average and remains driven by gas conversions
from alternate fuels such as oil and propane, and new
construction.
Infrastructure Modernization. SJG's
Infrastructure Investment Program (IIP) accelerates planned capital
expenditures to enhance the delivery of safe, reliable, affordable
natural gas, create jobs, and support the State’s environmental
goals. SJG's program authorizes investment of $200 million from
2022-2027 for important infrastructure upgrades including the
replacement of up to 250 miles of pre-code coated steel and vintage
plastic main. Our annualized investment of approximately $40
million from July 2022 to June 2023 is anticipated to commence
recovery on October 1, 2023 under the terms of the program.
Base Rate Case. In April, SJG
filed a petition with the NJBPU requesting an increase of $73.1
million to its base rates, which was updated in September to an
increase of $82.3 million. The request is based on a proposed
pre-tax return on invested capital of 7.77%, with a capital
structure that includes a common equity component of 57.0% and a
return on common equity (ROE) of 10.75%. The request is
predominantly driven by the significant capital investments that
SJG has made since its last base rate proceeding that was resolved
in 2020. These capital investments have been and will continue to
be made to ensure the safety, reliability and resiliency of SJG's
distribution system, allow SJG to continue to provide safe,
reliable and best in class customer service, and facilitate the
environmental goals of NJ and SJI's commitment to ensuring that it
is part of New Jersey’s clean energy future. A resolution of the
case is expected later this year.
Energy Efficiency. Through energy efficiency
programs, SJG advances New Jersey’s clean energy goals in a manner
that benefits customers, the environment and the State’s green
economy while recovering our investments in a timely manner. SJG's
energy efficiency program, as approved by the BPU in April 2021,
authorizes investment of $133.2 million from July 1, 2021 to June
30, 2024. The revenue requirement associated with our net
investment of approximately $25 million from July 2021 to June 2022
commenced recovery in July 2021 under the terms of the
program.Elizabethtown Gas
Performance. Third quarter 2022 GAAP earnings
were $(16.4) million compared with $(1.7) million in 2021. Economic
earnings were $(11.3) million compared with ($9.5) million in 2021.
Utility margin, as previously defined, increased $3.9 million,
reflecting an increase in base rates, customer growth and the
roll-in of investments from infrastructure replacement programs.
Total expenses increased $5.7 million, primarily reflecting higher
O&M, depreciation and interest expenses.
Customer Growth. ETG added approximately 5,000
new customers over the last 12 months and now serves approximately
307,000 customers. ETG’s 1.5% customer growth rate has increased
from its historic 0.9% rate, driven by increases in gas conversions
from alternate fuels such as oil and propane, and new
construction.
Infrastructure Modernization. ETG's
Infrastructure Investment Plan (IIP) authorizes investment of $300
million from 2019-2024 for important infrastructure upgrades
including the replacement of up to 250 miles of cast iron and bare
steel mains. Our investment of approximately $58 million from July
2021 to June 2022 commenced recovery on October 1, 2022.
Base Rate Case. In August, the NJBPU approved a
settlement authorizing ETG to increase base rates by $40 million
effective September 1, 2022. The increase reflects a $1.28B rate
base, 9.6% ROE and 52.0% common equity component. The request was
predominantly driven by the significant capital investments that
ETG had made since its last base rate proceeding that was resolved
in 2019. These capital investments have been and will continue to
be made to ensure the safety, reliability and resiliency of ETG's
distribution system, allow ETG to continue to provide safe,
reliable and best in class customer service, and facilitate the
environmental goals of NJ and SJI's commitment to ensuring that it
is part of New Jersey’s clean energy future.
Energy Efficiency. ETG's energy efficiency
program, as approved by the BPU in April 2021, authorizes
investment of $74.0 million from July 1, 2021 to June 30, 2024. The
revenue requirement associated with our net investment of
approximately $12.7 million from July 2021 to June 2022 commenced
recovery in July 2021 under the terms of the program.
NON-UTILITY
SJI's non-utility entities include Energy Management, Energy
Production and Midstream. Third quarter 2022 GAAP earnings were
$15.7 million compared with $(6.8) million in 2021. Economic
earnings were $7.8 million compared with $8.1 million in 2021.
Energy Management
Performance. Energy Management includes
Wholesale Services (Fuel Management/Marketing) and Retail Services
(Account Services/Energy Consulting). Third quarter 2022 GAAP
earnings were $16.8 million compared with $(10.0) million in 2021.
Economic earnings were $8.6 million compared with $4.4 million in
2021, reflecting higher margins from daily energy trading
activities, robust asset optimization opportunities as compared
with the year ago period, and contributions from consulting
activities, meter reading and appliance service contract fees.
Energy Production
Performance. Energy Production primarily
includes renewable (fuel cell/solar) and decarbonization (REV/RNG
development) investments. Third quarter 2022 GAAP earnings were
$(2.2) million compared with $3.4 million in 2021. Economic
earnings were $(0.8) million compared with $3.9 million in 2021,
primarily reflecting timing associated with investment tax credits
(ITC's) from fuel cell and solar investments and contributions from
SJI's 35% equity interest in REV. RNG development activities at ten
dairy farms is proceeding on track, with in-service anticipated in
2023.
Midstream
Performance. Third quarter GAAP earnings were
$1.1 million compared with $(0.3) million in 2021. Economic
earnings were $0.0 million compared with $(0.3) million in 2021,
reflecting the absence of allowance for funds used during
construction following cessation of the PennEast Pipeline project
in 2021.
OTHER
Performance. Other entity includes interest on
debt, including debt associated with past acquisitions. Third
quarter 2022 GAAP earnings were $(29.0) million compared with
$(9.6) million in 2021, resulting from a valuation allowance
recorded on certain state net operating losses. Economic earnings
were $(10.8) compared with $(9.6), reflecting increased outstanding
indebtedness and higher interest and bank fees.

statements other than statements of historical fact, including
statements regarding guidance, industry prospects or future results
of operations or financial position, expected sources of
incremental margin, strategy, financing needs, future capital

forward-looking. This Quarterly Report uses words such as
"anticipate," "believe," "expect," "estimate," "forecast," "goal,"
"intend," "objective," "plan," "project," "seek," "strategy,"
"target," "will" and similar expressions are intended to identify
forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements are
based on the beliefs and assumptions of management at the time that
these statements were prepared and are inherently uncertain.
Forward-looking statements are subject to risks and uncertainties
that could cause actual results to differ materially from those
expressed or implied in the forward-looking statements. These risks
and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, general economic
conditions on an international, national, state and local level;
weather conditions in SJI’s marketing areas; changes in commodity
costs; changes in the availability of natural gas; “non-routine” or
“extraordinary” disruptions in SJI’s distribution system;
cybersecurity incidents and related disruptions; regulatory,
legislative and court decisions; competition; the availability and
cost of capital; costs and effects of legal proceedings and
environmental liabilities; the failure of customers, suppliers or
business partners to fulfill their contractual obligations; changes
in business strategies; failure to satisfy the conditions to

Merger-related issues; and public health crises and epidemics or
pandemics, such as the COVID-19 pandemic. These risks and
uncertainties, as well as other risks and uncertainties that could
cause our actual results to differ materially from those expressed

in SJI’s and SJG's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended
December 31, 2021, as they may be supplemented from time to time by
other SEC filings made by SJI or SJG. earnings release. Also refer
to the additional risk factor described below:
Explanation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Management uses the non-GAAP financial measures of Economic
Earnings and Economic Earnings per share when evaluating its
results of operations. These non-GAAP financial measures should not
be considered as an alternative to GAAP measures, such as net
income, operating income, earnings per share from continuing
operations or any other GAAP measure of financial performance. We
define Economic Earnings as: Income from Continuing Operations, (i)
less the change in unrealized gains and plus the change in
unrealized losses on non-utility derivative transactions; (ii) less
income and plus losses attributable to noncontrolling interests;
and (iii) less the impact of transactions, contractual arrangements
or other events where management believes period to period
comparisons of SJI's operations could be difficult or potentially
confusing. With respect to part (iii) of the definition of Economic
Earnings, items excluded from Economic Earnings for the three and
nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, are described in
(A)-(F) in the table below. Economic Earnings is a significant
financial measure used by our management to indicate the amount and
timing of income from continuing operations that we expect to earn
after taking into account the impact of the items described above.
Management uses Economic Earnings to manage its business and to
determine such items as incentive/compensation arrangements and
allocation of resources. Specifically regarding derivatives, we
believe that this financial measure indicates to investors the
profitability of the entire derivative-related transaction and not
just the portion that is subject to mark-to-market valuation under
GAAP. We believe that considering only the change in market value
on the derivative side of the transaction can produce a false sense
as to the ultimate profitability of the total transaction as no
change in value is reflected for the non-derivative portion of the
transaction.
