The earnings call reflects a generally positive outlook due to strong growth in the Houston Electric service territory, significant increases in the capital investment plan, and efficient recycling of assets from the Ohio Gas LDC sale. However, there are challenges with a decrease in year-over-year non-GAAP EPS, ongoing regulatory hurdles, and increased interest expenses. The sentiment is balanced by the expectation of improved operating cash flows and positive EPS guidance.

Company Guidance -

Q3 2025

During the CenterPoint Energy Second Quarter 2025 Earnings Conference Call, the company provided detailed guidance on their financial performance and strategic initiatives. CenterPoint reported a non-GAAP earnings per share (EPS) of $0.29 for Q2 2025, aligning with their full-year guidance range of $1.74 to $1.76, which represents an 8% growth from the 2024 non-GAAP EPS of $1.62. The company reaffirmed its long-term non-GAAP EPS growth expectations at the mid-to-high end of 6% to 8% annually through 2030. CenterPoint announced a $500 million increase to its capital investment plan for 2025, bringing the total to $5.5 billion in capital increases for the year, without the need for additional common equity. This investment is part of a broader $53 billion capital plan through 2030, driven by strong growth in their Houston Electric service territory, where they anticipate a nearly 50% increase in peak demand by 2031. Additionally, CenterPoint plans to recycle capital through the proposed sale of their Ohio Gas LDC, which is expected to contribute to a reprioritization of nearly $1 billion in capital expenditures towards their Texas jurisdictions.

Strong Growth in Houston Electric Service Territory

The Houston Electric service territory continues to experience robust growth, with a forecasted peak load increase of 10 gigawatts by 2031, representing a nearly 50% increase in peak demand over the next six years. This growth is driven by diverse economic drivers such as data centers, advanced manufacturing, and energy exports.

Increase in Capital Investment Plan

Announcement of an additional $500 million increase to the 2025 capital investment plan, bringing the total increase to $5.5 billion this year, with no need for additional common equity. The plan now stands at $53 billion through 2030.

Recycling of Ohio Gas LDC Sale Proceeds

The proposed sale of the Ohio Gas LDC is expected to efficiently recycle cash proceeds to support increasing investment programs in Texas, allowing for a reprioritization of nearly $1 billion in capital expenditures through 2030.

Improved Operating Cash Flow

Operating cash flow is expected to improve by 5% beginning next year, enhancing the ability to self-fund capital investments without the need for additional common equity.

Positive Non-GAAP EPS Guidance

Reaffirmation of 2025 non-GAAP EPS guidance range of $1.74 to $1.76, equating to 8% growth at the midpoint from 2024.
