Chesapeake Utilities' Strong 2016 Performance Marks Tenth Straight Year Of Record Earnings
For the fourth quarter of 2016, the Company reported net income of
"Our performance during 2016 was exceptional as our earnings per share set a record for the tenth consecutive year, surpassing 2015 by 5.1 percent, despite the warmer winter weather in the first quarter," stated
A more detailed discussion and analysis of the Company's results for each segment is provided in the following pages.
Operating Results for the Years Ended
Operating income increased by
Regulated Energy
Operating income for the Regulated Energy segment increased by
$7.2 million generated from natural gas transmission expansions completed in 2014 and 2015, as well as interim services provided pending completion of new facilities, which are more fully discussed in the "Major Projects and Initiatives" section later in this press release;$4.0 million generated by additional GRIP investments in theFlorida natural gas distribution operations;$2.7 million from customer growth in natural gas distribution and transmission services over and above the growth attributable to recent service expansions;$1.5 million generated from the partial year implementation of new rates for the Company'sDelaware natural gas distribution division;$1.4 million from new natural gas transmission and distribution services provided toEight Flags Energy, LLC's ("Eight Flags") CHP plant; and$736,000 from higher margins generated bySandpiper Energy, Inc. ("Sandpiper") associated with the continued conversion of its distribution system from propane to natural gas.
The significant drivers of the
$3.6 million in higher staffing and associated costs for additional personnel to support growth;$2.6 million in higher depreciation, asset removal and property tax costs associated with recent capital investments to support growth and system integrity; and$1.4 million due to the absence of a$1.5 million gain from a customer billing system settlement in 2015.
Unregulated Energy
Operating income for the Unregulated Energy segment decreased by
Gross margin increased
$4.2 million from Aspire Energy, due to the fact that 2015 reflected only nine months of margin for Aspire Energy, which became a wholly-owned subsidiary ofChesapeake Utilities onApril 1, 2015 ;$1.7 million from Aspire Energy as a result of pricing amendments to long-term gas sales agreements, additional management fees and higher volumes of natural gas delivered to or on behalf of certain of its customers;$3.6 million from Eight Flags' CHP plant, which commenced operations inJune 2016 ; and$1.0 million from PESCO due to an increase in the number of contracts and customers served.
The above increases were offset by the following:
$2.8 million of lower gross margin for the Company's propane distribution operations as propane retail margins per gallon returned to more normal levels;$1.4 million of lower gross margin due to lower customer consumption of propane mainly as a result of warmer than normal temperatures on theDelmarva Peninsula , primarily during the first quarter of 2016 compared to colder than normal temperatures during the first quarter of 2015; and$847,000 of lower gross margin fromXeron .
The significant components of the
$2.8 million incurred by Aspire Energy,$1.6 million of which occurred in the first quarter of 2016, compared to zero in the first quarter of 2015 prior to the closing of the acquisition of Aspire Energy's operations;$2.4 million in operating expenses incurred by the Eight Flags' CHP plant, which commenced operations inJune 2016 ;$817,000 in higher staffing and associated costs for additional personnel to support growth; and$683,000 in higher outside services costs primarily associated with growth and ongoing compliance activities.

The Company's operating income for the fourth quarter of 2016 was
Regulated Energy Segment
Operating income for the Regulated Energy segment increased by
$1.7 million generated from natural gas transmission expansions completed in 2014 and 2015, as well as interim services pending completion of new facilities, which are discussed in the "Major Projects and Initiatives" section later in this press release;$1.2 million as a result of colder weather experienced during the fourth quarter of 2016;$975,000 generated by additional GRIP investments in theFlorida natural gas distribution operations;$794,000 from customer growth in natural gas distribution services, unrelated to a recent service expansion offset by$304,000 in decreased margin from interruptible service to customers; and$477,000 from new natural gas transmission and distribution services provided to Eight Flags' CHP plant.
The significant components of the
$1.2 million in higher staffing and associated costs for additional personnel to support growth; and$1.1 million in higher depreciation expense, amortization, asset removal and property tax costs associated with capital investments to support growth and maintain system integrity.
Unregulated Energy Segment
Operating income for the Unregulated Energy segment for the fourth quarter of 2016 was
$2.4 million from higher propane gas sales by the Company's propane distribution operation primarily on theDelmarva Peninsula in response to colder weather quarter-over-quarter;$1.9 million from Eight Flags' CHP plant; and$1.4 million from Aspire Energy as a result of pricing amendments to long-term gas sales agreements, additional management fees and higher volumes of natural gas delivered to or on behalf of certain of its customers; which increases were offset by$427,000 of lower gross margin fromXeron .
The significant components of the
$1.3 million in operating expenses incurred by Eight Flags' CHP plant;$738,000 in higher staffing and associated costs for additional personnel to support growth;$344,000 in operating expenses, primarily higher staffing and associated costs as well as depreciation expense, incurred by Aspire Energy; and$289,000 in higher outside service expenses and facilities maintenance expenses.

(1) "Gross margin" is determined by deducting the cost of sales from operating revenue. Cost of sales includes the purchased fuel cost for natural gas, electricity and propane and the cost of labor spent on direct revenue-producing activities and excludes depreciation, amortization and accretion. Gross margin should not be considered an alternative to operating income or net income, which are determined in accordance with GAAP. |
