Key takeaways

What improved, and what deserves a closer read.

Constructive signals

  • Achieved 18th consecutive year of EPS growth, with FY2025 EPS of $5.90 vs. $5.50 in 2024
  • Finished $0.15 per share above the midpoint of original 2025 EPS guidance; Q4 EPS of $0.78 beat $0.70 prior year
  • Customer base grew 2.3% in 2025 (residential +2.5%) to over 660,000 metered customers
  • Settled 2025 Idaho general rate case with positive outcomes; no general rate case planned to be filed by June 1
  • B2H transmission project under construction (80 towers completed), targeted operational late 2027; SWIP-North and Gateway West also progressing
  • Added 200 MW Pleasant Valley Solar and 230 MW battery storage in 2025; 167 MW natural gas addition planned for 2028

Risks & pressure points

  • Benefit from additional tax credit amortization is expected to step down from about $40 million in 2025 to less than $30 million in 2026, pressuring earnings
  • Higher depreciation and financing costs from infrastructure investments partially offset 2025 results and are expected to continue
  • Residential customer growth and large-load ramp-up may be lumpy and uneven rather than smooth through the next several years
  • Capital spending is back-end loaded, with significant financing needs and ADITC usage potentially continuing into 2027
  • Ongoing wildfire mitigation costs noted as a headwind alongside higher depreciation and interest expense

Key moments

Jump directly to management's words in the synchronized transcript.

“We believe that, even after implementing the outcome of our 2025 Idaho general rate case, our prices will still be significantly lower than the national average. We take pride in our low rates, and despite considerable infrastructure investments and the expansion of our customer base, we anticipate rates will remain stable according to our regulatory framework in Idaho. To emphasize affordability, based on current projections, we do not plan to file a general rate case in Idaho by June 1 of this year.” Lisa Grow, CEO
“Based on our findings, we are experiencing the fastest load growth rate in the nation, and we are managing it with a prudent and considered approach to ensure there are advantages for our company and its owners, while also reducing the risk of cost shifts to our other customers that could arise if our growth were not managed effectively under Idaho's regulatory model.” Lisa Grow, CEO
