National Fuel Reports 13% Increase in Adjusted EPS for Q2
David P. Bauer, CEO, stated: "National Fuel had a solid second quarter, with adjusted EPS increasing 13% over the prior year. Operationally, our resilient natural gas system and dedicated workforce performed extremely well during the severe weather of Winter Storm Fern, delivering the safe and reliable production, transmission, storage, and distribution services that customers across our businesses expect. Looking forward, we've taken meaningful steps to position National Fuel for the next phase of our long-term growth strategy. In our regulated Pipeline and Storage business, our two major expansion projects are expected to be in-service late this calendar year, and we've signed an agreement for another expansion on our Line N system. At the Utility, our Ohio acquisition is on track to close in the calendar fourth quarter. Lastly, in our Integrated Upstream and Gathering business, we have decades of high-quality Appalachian inventory and a great track record of improving capital efficiency. With our ongoing testing to optimize well designs across our development footprint and our focus on continuously improving our integrated development plans, we expect to see further benefits in the future."
