Company Guidance -

Q3 2025

During the Otter Tail Corporation's Second Quarter 2025 Earnings Conference Call, the company presented several key metrics and updates. They reported a diluted earnings per share of $1.85 for the second quarter, down from $2.07 in the previous year. Despite this decline, the company raised its 2025 earnings guidance midpoint to $6.26 from $5.88, driven by better-than-anticipated performance in the Plastics segment. The Electric segment earnings increased by $0.02 per share, attributed to higher rider revenues and favorable weather conditions, while the Manufacturing segment earnings decreased by $0.08 per share due to soft-end market demand and lower sales volumes. The company highlighted a 9% projected compound annual growth rate for its Electric segment rate base through 2029, supported by a $1.4 billion capital investment plan. Additionally, Otter Tail is maintaining its original 2025 earnings guidance for all other segments, with a forecasted consolidated 5-year CAGR near 22%.
