IDACORP, Inc. Announces First Quarter 2023 Results, Affirms 2023 Earnings Guidance
BOISE--IDACORP, Inc. (NYSE: IDA) reported first quarter 2023 net income attributable to IDACORP of $56.1 million, or $1.11 per diluted share, compared with $46.3 million, or $0.91 per diluted share, in the first quarter of 2022.
“Customer growth and economic activity in our service area continue to be drivers of our success," said IDACORP President and Chief Executive Officer Lisa Grow. "This growth, combined with other factors such as an increase in transmission services revenue and a regulatory order last June, benefited the quarter's results.
"We are also pleased with the recent progress related to our Boardman-to-Hemingway project and expect to move forward with construction of that transmission line this summer," Grow added. "Increased transmission capacity plays a key role in safely providing reliable, affordable, clean energy to our customers and to the region."
IDACORP affirms its previously reported full-year 2023 earnings guidance to the range of $4.95 to $5.15 per diluted share, along with the expectation that Idaho Power will use approximately $15 million of additional tax credits available under its Idaho earnings support regulatory mechanism in 2023. The earnings guidance also assumes normal weather conditions through the remainder of the year.
Summary of Financial Results
The following is a summary of Idaho Power's net income, net income attributable to IDACORP, and IDACORP's earnings per diluted share for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022 (in thousands, except earnings per share amounts):
| Three months ended <br>March 31, | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2023 | 2022 | |||
| Net income attributable to IDACORP, Inc. | $ | 56,098 | $ | 46,260 |
| Weighted average outstanding shares – diluted | 50,723 | 50,660 | ||
| IDACORP, Inc. earnings per diluted share | $ | 1.11 | $ | 0.91 |
The table below provides a reconciliation of net income attributable to IDACORP for the three months ended March 31, 2023, from the same period in 2022 (items are in millions and are before related income tax impact unless otherwise noted):
| Three months ended | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| Net income attributable to IDACORP, Inc. - March 31, 2022 | $ | 46.3 | |
| Increase (decrease) in Idaho Power net income: | |||
| Customer growth, net of associated power supply costs and power cost adjustment (PCA) mechanisms | 2.7 | ||
| Usage per retail customer, net of associated power supply costs and PCA mechanisms | 0.4 | ||
| Idaho fixed cost adjustment revenues | (1.2) | ||
| Retail revenues per megawatt-hour (MWh), net of associated power supply costs and PCA mechanisms | 8.5 | ||
| Transmission wheeling-related revenues | 5.1 | ||
| Other operations and maintenance (O&M) expenses | — | ||
| Other changes in operating revenues and expenses, net | (7.8) | ||
| Increase in Idaho Power operating income | 7.7 | ||
| Non-operating expense, net | 2.7 | ||
| Additional accumulated deferred investment tax credits (ADITC) amortization | 3.8 | ||
| Income tax expense, excluding additional ADITC amortization | (4.7) | ||
| Total increase in Idaho Power net income | 9.5 | ||
| Other IDACORP changes (net of tax) | 0.3 | ||
| Net income attributable to IDACORP, Inc. - March 31, 2023 | $ | 56.1 |
IDACORP's net income increased $9.8 million for the first quarter of 2023 compared with the first quarter of 2022, due primarily to higher net income at Idaho Power. At Idaho Power, customer growth increased operating income by $2.7 million in the first quarter of 2023 compared with the first quarter of 2022, as the number of Idaho Power customers grew by approximately 13,500, or 2.2 percent, during the twelve months ended March 31, 2023. Usage per customer was relatively consistent in the first quarter of 2023 compared with the first quarter of 2022 as both periods experienced comparable below-normal temperatures.
The net increase in retail revenues per MWh, net of associated power supply costs and power cost adjustment mechanisms, increased operating income by $8.5 million in the first quarter of 2023 compared with the first quarter of 2022. This was due partially to changes in Idaho Power's customer sales mix, which includes separate rate tariffs based on customer class. To a greater extent, the net increase in retail revenues per MWh was due to the June 1, 2022 rate increase for Idaho Power’s Idaho retail customers related to an order from the Idaho Public Utilities Commission that authorized Idaho Power to accelerate the depreciation on and recover through 2030 the net book value of coal-related assets at Idaho Power's jointly-owned Jim Bridger plant as of December 31, 2020, plus forecasted plant investments.
Transmission wheeling-related revenues increased $5.1 million during the first quarter of 2023 compared with the first quarter of 2022, resulting from Idaho Power's open access transmission tariff rates being 1 percent higher during the quarter and due to elevated energy prices in the western United States in the first quarter of 2023 compared with the first quarter of 2022.
Total other O&M expenses in the first quarter of 2023 were consistent with the first quarter of 2022, as an increase in expenses due to inflationary pressures on labor-related and other costs were offset by lower expenses from planned maintenance projects compared with the same period in 2022, the timing of regulatory deferrals, and payment credits received related to a jointly-funded project.
Other changes in operating revenues and expenses, net, decreased operating income by $7.8 million in the first quarter of 2023 compared with the first quarter of 2022, due primarily to the increase in net power supply expenses that were not deferred for future recovery in rates through Idaho Power's PCA mechanisms. Higher wholesale natural gas and power market prices in the western United States increased Idaho Power's net power supply expenses in the first quarter of 2023 compared with the first quarter of 2022.
Non-operating expense, net, decreased $2.7 million in the first quarter of 2023 compared with the first quarter of 2022. Allowance for funds used during construction (AFUDC) increased as the average construction work in progress balance was higher throughout the first quarter of 2023 compared with the first quarter of 2022. Also, interest income and benefit plan rabbi trust income increased due to higher market interest rates. These increases were partially offset by higher interest expense on long-term debt in the first quarter of 2023 compared with the first quarter of 2022.
The increase in income tax expense was principally the result of higher income before income taxes, partially offset by additional ADITC amortization. Based on Idaho Power's current expectations of full-year 2023 results, Idaho Power recorded $3.8 million of additional ADITC amortization under its Idaho regulatory settlement stipulation during the first quarter of 2023. Idaho Power currently expects to amortize up to $15 million of additional ADITC for the full-year 2023, but did not record any additional ADITC amortization in 2022.
