Company Guidance -

Q3 2025

During the second quarter 2025 earnings call, Otter Tail Corporation provided updated financial guidance, increasing the midpoint of their 2025 earnings per share (EPS) guidance to $6.26 from $5.88, driven by stronger-than-anticipated performance in the Plastics segment. The company reported diluted EPS of $1.85 for Q2 2025, down from $2.07 the previous year, but still exceeding expectations. The Electric segment saw a $0.02 increase in earnings per share due to favorable weather and higher rider revenues, despite increased operating and maintenance expenses. The Plastics segment experienced a decrease in EPS by $0.18, attributed to a 15% decline in sales prices, although sales volumes rose by 11% due to robust demand and enhanced production capabilities. The company reaffirmed its Electric segment capital investment plan, projecting a 9% compound annual growth rate in earnings per share through 2029, focusing on customer-focused investments totaling $1.4 billion. Additionally, Otter Tail highlighted legislative impacts such as the phase-out of renewable energy credits, and the EPA's reconsideration of environmental regulations, emphasizing their potential to extend coal facility availability.
