Ameren Announces 2022 Results and Issues Guidance for 2023 Earnings and Long-Term Growth
  • 2022 Diluted Earnings Per Share (EPS) were $4.14, Compared to $3.84 in 2021
  • 2023 Diluted EPS Guidance Range Established at $4.25 to $4.45
  • 2023 through 2027 Diluted EPS Compound Annual Growth Rate Guidance of 6% to 8% using 2023 Guidance Midpoint as a Base

ST. LOUIS, Feb. 15, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Ameren Corporation (NYSE: AEE) today announced 2022 net income attributable to common shareholders of $1,074 million, or $4.14 per diluted share, compared to 2021 net income attributable to common shareholders of $990 million, or $3.84 per diluted share.

Earnings results for 2022 were driven by solid operating performance and execution of the company's strategy. Higher earnings were the result of increased infrastructure investments across all business segments. Ameren Missouri earnings were positively impacted by higher weather-driven electric retail sales, new electric service rates effective Feb. 28, 2022, and higher energy efficiency performance incentives in 2022. Earnings also benefited from a higher allowed return on equity at Ameren Illinois Electric Distribution due to a higher 30-year U.S. Treasury bond yield in 2022 compared to 2021. Ameren Illinois Natural Gas earnings increased due to higher delivery service rates effective in late January 2021. These positive factors were partially offset by higher operations and maintenance expenses at Ameren Missouri and Ameren Illinois Natural Gas driven, in part, by unfavorable market returns in 2022 on company-owned life insurance investments compared to favorable market returns in the prior year and increased energy center-related costs. Finally, the earnings comparison also reflected increased interest expense, primarily due to higher long-term debt outstanding at Ameren Missouri and Ameren Parent.

"We made significant strides in executing our strategy during 2022, for the benefit of our customers, communities and shareholders," said Martin J. Lyons Jr., president and chief executive officer of Ameren Corporation.  "This included advocating for constructive regulatory and legislative outcomes, accelerating our company-wide net zero carbon emissions goals and completing substantial energy infrastructure investments driving safer, more reliable and resilient service for customers as we transition to a cleaner energy future.  In 2022 our residential customers honored us for the third year in a row with top quartile Midwest utility customer satisfaction scores. We are confident our achievements this year will provide significant long-term value for our customers, communities we serve, shareholders and the environment."

Ameren recorded net income attributable to common shareholders for the three months ended Dec. 31, 2022, of $163 million, or 63 cents per diluted share, compared to net income attributable to common shareholders of $125 million, or 48 cents per diluted share, for the same period in 2021.

The year-over-year increase in fourth quarter 2022 earnings was due to increased infrastructure investments across all of our business segments. In addition, the improvement reflected higher weather-driven electric retail sales at Ameren Missouri from colder-than-normal winter temperatures compared to milder-than-normal winter temperatures in the year-ago quarter. Ameren Missouri also benefited from higher energy efficiency performance incentives in 2022. Ameren Illinois Electric Distribution earnings benefited from a higher allowed return on equity due to a higher 30-year U.S. Treasury bond yield in 2022 compared to 2021. These factors were partially offset by increased charitable donations, higher operations and maintenance expenses at Ameren Missouri, primarily due to increased energy center-related costs, and higher interest expense at Ameren Parent, primarily due to higher short-term rates.

Earnings and Rate Base Guidance

Ameren expects 2023 diluted earnings per share to be in a range of $4.25 to $4.45. Ameren expects diluted earnings per share to grow at a 6% to 8% compound annual rate from 2023 through 2027, using the 2023 guidance range midpoint of $4.35 per share as the base. Ameren's multi-year earnings growth is expected to be driven by strong projected rate base growth of approximately 8% compounded annually from 2022 through 2027.

"We remain focused on strong long-term execution of our strategy, which includes investments to modernize the energy grid and transition to a cleaner energy portfolio in a responsible fashion. This, along with our relentless focus on disciplined cost management, will continue to deliver superior and consistent value to our customers, the communities we serve, our shareholders and the environment," Lyons said.

Ameren's earnings guidance for 2023 and multi-year growth expectations assume normal temperatures and are subject to the effects of, among other things: 30-year U.S. Treasury bond yields in 2023; regulatory, judicial and legislative actions; energy center and energy distribution operations; energy, economic, capital and credit market conditions; severe storms; unusual or otherwise unexpected gains or losses; and other risks and uncertainties outlined, or referred to, in the Forward-looking Statements section of this press release.

Ameren Missouri Segment Results

Ameren Missouri 2022 earnings were $562 million, compared to 2021 earnings of $518 million. The year-over-year improvement reflected increased earnings on infrastructure investments, higher weather-driven electric retail sales and new electric service rates effective Feb. 28, 2022. Earnings also benefited from higher energy efficiency performance incentives in 2022. These favorable factors were partially offset by higher other operations and maintenance expenses driven, in part, by unfavorable market returns in 2022 on company-owned life insurance investments compared to favorable market returns in the prior year and an increase in energy center-related costs. Finally, the earnings comparison also reflected increased interest expense, primarily due to higher long-term debt outstanding.

Ameren Illinois Electric Distribution Segment Results

Ameren Illinois Electric Distribution 2022 earnings were $202 million, compared to 2021 earnings of $165 million. The year-over-year improvement reflected increased earnings on infrastructure investments and a higher allowed return on equity due to a higher average 30-year U.S. Treasury bond yield in 2022 compared to 2021.

Ameren Illinois Natural Gas Segment Results

Ameren Illinois Natural Gas 2022 earnings were $123 million, compared to 2021 earnings of $108 million. The year-over-year improvement reflected increased earnings on infrastructure investments and higher delivery service rates effective late January 2021, partially offset by higher other operations and maintenance expenses.

Ameren Transmission Segment Results

Ameren Transmission 2022 earnings were $263 million, compared to 2021 earnings of $230 million. The year-over-year improvement reflected increased earnings on infrastructure investments, as well as the absence of the 2021 FERC order addressing the historical recovery of materials and supplies inventories.

Ameren Parent Results (includes items not reported in a business segment)

Ameren Parent results for 2022 reflected a loss of $76 million, compared to a 2021 loss of $31 million. The year-over-year comparison reflected higher interest expense due to higher rates on short-term debt and higher long-term debt outstanding, increased charitable donations and a higher effective tax rate primarily driven by company-owned life insurance investment performance in 2022.

Analyst Conference Call

Ameren will conduct a conference call for financial analysts at 9 a.m. Central Time on Thursday, Feb. 16 to discuss 2022 earnings, 2023 earnings guidance and other matters. Investors, the news media and the public may listen to a live broadcast of the call at AmerenInvestors.com by clicking on "Webcast" under "Q4 2022 Earnings Conference Call," where an accompanying slide presentation will also be available.

New factors emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for management to predict all of such factors, nor can it assess the impact of each such factor on the business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained or implied in any forward-looking statement. Given these uncertainties, undue reliance should not be placed on these forward-looking statements.
