Via Renewables, Inc. Reschedules Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2022 Financial Results Release
HOUSTON, March 1, 2023 (ACCESSWIRE) -- Via Renewables, Inc. ("Via Renewables" or the "Company") (NASDAQ: VIA; VIASP), an independent retail energy services company, today announced that it has rescheduled its fourth quarter and full year 2022 earnings conference call. The Company will announce its earnings and conference call schedule in a future press release.
The earnings release and conference call is being rescheduled due to a delay in finalizing the Company’s Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022. The rescheduling will provide for additional time for the Company to review and finalize its calculation of its deferred tax asset and liabilities and related impact on income tax expense for the year ended December 31, 2022 and assess the impact to prior years, if any, as well as complete the Company's assessment of the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2022.
While the work is not yet finalized, the Company does not expect any changes to the Adjusted EBITDA, Gross Profit/Loss or Retail Gross Margin it expected to report in December 31, 2022, or in prior fiscal years.
