CHESAPEAKE UTILITIES CORPORATION REPORTS SECOND QUARTER 2026 RESULTS
PR Newswire
DOVER, Del., Aug. 6, 2026
- Net income and earnings per share (“EPS”)* were $25.4 million and $1.05, respectively, for the second quarter and $84.7 million and $3.51, respectively, year to date
- Year-to-date growth rate of 8.0 percent on Adjusted EPS**, which excludes the transaction and transition-related expenses attributable to the acquisition and integration of Florida City Gas (“FCG”)
- Adjusted gross margin** growth of $7.4 million for the second quarter and $31.2 million year to date, representing a 9.6 percent growth rate for the six months ended June 30, 2026, driven largely by transmission expansion projects, regulatory initiatives and infrastructure programs, natural gas organic growth, and improved contributions from unregulated businesses.
- The Company is increasing its 2026 capital guidance range to $550 – $600 million in light of advances on various capital projects
DOVER, Del., Aug. 6, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Chesapeake Utilities Corporation (NYSE: CPK) (“Chesapeake Utilities” or the “Company”) today announced financial results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026.
Additional highlights include:
- Announced the Florida Energy Pathway (“FEP”) project, a $1.2 billion natural gas pipeline project in south Florida with approximately 250,000 Dts/d of committed capacity; targeted in-service date in 2030
- Increased capacity under the Company’s revolving credit facility to $650 million to support capital investment growth
- Capital investment of $139.7 million during the second quarter of 2026, bringing the year-to-date total to $261.6 million
- Interim rates of $16.2 million on an annualized basis, effective in July 2026, were approved by the Florida Public Service Commission (“PSC”) in connection with the Company’s ongoing FCG rate case
“Our second quarter results demonstrate consistent operational and financial performance as we make substantial progress on transforming for the next phase of sustained enterprise growth,” said Jeff Householder, the Company’s Chair of the Board, President and Chief Executive Officer. “We are also excited to be moving forward with the Florida Energy Pathway infrastructure project. This represents a significant investment opportunity to bring capacity and reliability to south Florida and support long-term growth across the state.”
Earnings and Capital Investment Guidance
The Company is increasing its 2026 capital expenditure guidance by $100 million to $550 – $600 million, driven primarily by increases in transmission (including initial investments in FEP), distribution and infrastructure investments.
The Company had previously issued long-term capital guidance for the 2024 – 2028 period of $1.5 – $1.8 billion. Given a robust capital investment program to date and the recently announced FEP project, the Company expects to achieve capital investment of approximately $1.4 billion through 2026 and total investment exceeding $2.2 billion for the five-year period ended 2028. The Company also continues to reaffirm its 2028 earnings guidance of $7.75 – $8.00 per share.
As the Company continues discussions with potential partners for the FEP project and makes additional progress on its long-term investment opportunities, the Company expects to provide a long-term guidance update during its Full-Year 2026 earnings call in February 2027. At that time, the Company expects to provide a capital guidance range and EPS growth rate for the 2027 – 2031 period.
*Unless otherwise noted, EPS and Adjusted EPS information are presented on a diluted basis.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
**This press release including the tables herein, include references to both Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”) and non-GAAP financial measures, including Adjusted Gross Margin, Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted EPS. A “non-GAAP financial measure” is generally defined as a numerical measure of a company’s historical or future performance that includes or excludes amounts, or that is subject to adjustments, so as to be different from the most directly comparable measure calculated or presented in accordance with GAAP. The Company’s management believes certain non-GAAP financial measures, when considered together with GAAP financial measures, provide information that is useful to investors in understanding period-over-period operating results separate and apart from items that may, or could, have a disproportionately positive or negative impact on results in any particular period.
The Company calculates Adjusted Gross Margin by deducting the purchased cost of natural gas, propane and electricity and the cost of labor spent on direct revenue-producing activities from operating revenues. The costs included in Adjusted Gross Margin exclude depreciation and amortization and certain costs presented in operations and maintenance expenses in accordance with regulatory requirements. The Company calculates Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted EPS by deducting costs and expenses associated with significant acquisitions that may affect the comparison of period-over-period results. These non-GAAP financial measures are not in accordance with, or an alternative to, GAAP and should be considered in addition to, and not as a substitute for, the comparable GAAP measures. The Company believes that these non-GAAP measures are useful and meaningful to investors as a basis for making investment decisions, and provide investors with information that demonstrates the profitability achieved by the Company under allowed rates for regulated energy operations and under the Company’s competitive pricing structures for unregulated energy operations. The Company’s management uses these non-GAAP financial measures in assessing a business unit and Company performance. Other companies may calculate these non-GAAP financial measures in a different manner.
The following tables reconcile Gross Margin, Net Income, and EPS, all as defined under GAAP, to the Company’s non-GAAP measures of Adjusted Gross Margin, Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted EPS for each of the periods presented.
