Southwest Gas Holdings, Inc. is a company engaged in the distribution and transportation of natural gas, serving over 2 million customers across Arizona, Nevada, and California, and is also a majority owner of Centuri Holdings, Inc., which provides utility infrastructure services in North America.
In its second quarter of 2025, Southwest Gas Holdings reported a decline in net income compared to the previous year, primarily due to tax impacts from the sale of Centuri stock. However, the company achieved significant debt reduction and regulatory progress, including new legislation in Nevada that enables alternative ratemaking for natural gas utilities.
Key financial highlights include a 71% increase in adjusted net income compared to the second quarter of 2024, driven by a 22% earnings growth in its natural gas distribution segment. The company also reduced its debt by over $470 million through follow-on offerings of Centuri stock and reported an operating margin increase due to rate relief and customer growth.
Looking ahead, Southwest Gas Holdings remains focused on its transformation into a fully regulated natural gas business, with plans to further separate from Centuri. The company is also exploring expansion opportunities with the Great Basin Gas Transmission Company, reflecting a positive outlook on future growth and financial stability.
