Free preview belowGAAP EPS was $0.50 and non-GAAP EPS was $0.53, roughly $0.03 or 6.3% above the $0.4988 consensus on the adjusted number. Growth and rate recovery added $0.09 a share and weather and usage $0.03, while higher financing expenses took $0.04 and other items took $0.05, mostly the absence of last year's one-time tax optimization benefit. Operating and maintenance expense was flat, which is the quiet good news in the release.
Revenue was $2.20 billion, up 10.6% from $1.99 billion a year earlier. Electric supplied $1.56 billion of that and natural gas $635 million, so the quarter is still overwhelmingly a Houston electric growth story. Management tied the improvement to growth and rate recovery plus weather and usage, not to any one-off item.
