About this update from Otter Tail Corporation

Board of Directors Declares Quarterly Dividend of $0.4125 per Share FERGUS FALLS, Minn. --(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Otter Tail Corporation (Nasdaq: OTTR) today announced financial results for the quarter ended September 30, 2022 . SUMMARY Compared to the quarter ended September 30, 2021 : Consolidated operating revenues increased 21% to $384 million . Consolidated net income increased 60% to $84 million . Diluted earnings per share increased 60% to $2.01 per share. CEO OVERVIEW “Our diversified business model produced exceptional financial results for the quarter ended September 30 , 2022,” said President and CEO Chuck MacFarlane . “Each operating segment contributed double digit earnings growth compared to the same period last year. Our Plastics segment completed another outstanding quarter, producing $56.0 million of earnings in the third quarter of 2022, compared to $28.4 million in the same period last year, as operating margins continue to benefit from elevated spreads of PVC pipe sale prices over resin input costs. However, demand for PVC pipe began to decline in the quarter due to multiple, larger than anticipated, resin price reductions which caused pipe distributors and contractors to reduce PVC pipe purchases in an effort to reduce inventory levels. “Electric segment earnings increased 10.3% compared to the third quarter of 2021, primarily driven by increased commercial and industrial sales volumes. Our Manufacturing segment produced earnings growth of 48.1% compared to the third quarter of 2021 driven by increased sales volumes, improved manufacturing cost absorption and lower operating and maintenance costs. “MISO recently approved several projects within the first tranche of its long-range transmission plan, which includes two new 345 kV transmission projects and a project to upgrade an existing transmission line. Otter Tail Power will have a varying level of ownership interest in these investments. We are beginning the early development phases of these projects and will be working with the co-owners and various industry partners to complete these projects over several years. Our total capital investment is anticipated to be $330 million , with approximately $122 million of the investment expected to occur before 2028. We have updated our five year capital expenditure plan to reflect this investment opportunity along with other updates. “We are adjusting our 2022 diluted earnings per share guidance to a range of $6.42 to $6.72 from our most recent guidance of $6.83 to $7.13 per share. This change is primarily driven by announced resin price reductions throughout the third quarter, which negatively impacts sales volumes within our Plastics segment as distributors and contractors reduce their own inventory levels before purchasing additional PVC pipe. “Our long-term focus remains on executing our strategy to grow our business and achieving operational, commercial and talent excellence to strengthen our position in the markets we serve. We remain confident in our ability to achieve a compounded annual growth rate in earnings per share in the range of 5% to 7% using 2024 as the base year. We currently expect to see elevated earnings from our manufacturing platform into 2023 with our earnings mix expected to move to approximately 65% from our Electric segment and 35% from our manufacturing platform beginning in 2024.” THIRD QUARTER HIGHLIGHTS AND UPDATES Our Minnesota Rate Case concluded with final rates becoming effective on July 1, 2022 , and interim rate refunds being completed during the third quarter. The rate case included the approval of a return on equity of 9.48% on a 52.5% equity layer, a revenue decoupling mechanism and numerous other items. Otter Tail Power has received regulatory approval to purchase the Ashtabula III wind farm, which will add 62.4 megawatts of capacity to our owned generation assets. The transaction is expected to close, subject to customary closing conditions, in January 2023 . Otter Tail Power recently submitted a supplemental filing to update its 2022 Integrated Resource Plan (2022 IRP), requesting the procedural schedule in Minnesota be amended. The amended procedural schedule will provide additional time to update our modeling given significant changes in the energy industry since the original 2022 IRP filing. Specifically, our request was prompted by developments including FERC’s approval of MISO’s new seasonal resource adequacy construct, MISO’s proposal to significantly increase winter and spring planning reserve margins requirements, and enactment of the Inflation Reduction Act. If granted permission, we plan to file an updated resource plan in March 2023 . Our supplemental filing requests maintaining the original procedural schedule for adding dual fuel capability at Astoria Station . Additionally, our initial filing proposed fuel oil as the secondary on-site fuel at Astoria Station , and our supplemental filing reflects revised cost estimates and liquified natural gas as the most cost-effective secondary fuel source. As required under the EPA’s Regional Haze Rule , the North Dakota Department of Environmental Quality (NDDEQ) submitted its state implementation plan to the EPA for approval in August. In its plan, the NDDEQ concluded it is not reasonable to require additional emission controls at Coyote Station , OTP's jointly owned coal-fired power plant in North Dakota , during this planning period. We continued to experience a volatile steel market, with prices rapidly decreasing during the third quarter. Steel prices peaked in the fourth quarter of 2021 at historically high levels with prices recently declining to below $800 per ton, impacting both our cost of materials and scrap revenues. Steel costs are a pass-through to customers. We continue to monitor customer demand and the impact that unpredictable supply chains have on their demand and the predictability of our shipping volumes. Sales prices for PVC pipe remain high, producing increased margins and earnings during the third quarter. However, demand for PVC pipe began to decline in the quarter primarily driven by improved resin and additive availability and announced resin price reductions throughout the third quarter, which led pipe distributors and contractors to lower purchase volumes in an effort to reduce their inventory levels. QUARTERLY DIVIDEND On October 31, 2022 , the corporation’s Board of Directors declared a quarterly common stock dividend of $0.4125 per share. This dividend is payable December 9, 2022 to shareholders of record on November 15, 2022 . CASH FLOWS AND LIQUIDITY Our consolidated cash provided by operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 was $288.0 million compared to $154.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 , with the increase primarily due to a $117.0 million increase in net income and a lower level of working capital needs compared to last year. Investing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 included capital expenditures of $123.2 million , primarily related to capital investments within our Electric segment. Financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 included the issuance of $90.0 million of long-term debt at Otter Tail Power and the maturity and repayment of $30.0 million of debt at Otter Tail Power . Financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 also included net repayments of short-term borrowings of $91.2 million and dividend payments of $51.6 million . As of September 30, 2022 , we had $170.0 million and $160.1 million of available liquidity under our Otter Tail Corporation Credit Agreement and Otter Tail Power Credit Agreement, respectively, along with $73.0 million of available cash and cash equivalents, for total available liquidity of $403.1 million . SEGMENT PERFORMANCE Electric Segment Three Months Ended September 30 , ($ in thousands) 2022 2021 Change % Change Operating Revenues $ 142,747 $ 118,775 $ 23,972 20.2 % Net Income 24,847 22,528 2,319 10.3 Retail MWh Sales 1,275,051 1,076,580 198,471 18.4 % Heating Degree Days (HDDs) 22 3 19 633.3 Cooling Degree Days (CDDs) 376 463 (87 ) (18.8 ) The following table shows heating and cooling degree days as a percent of normal. Three Months Ended September 30 , 2022 2021 HDDs 43.1 % 5.8 % CDDs 108.4 % 132.7 % The following table summarizes the estimated effect on diluted earnings per share of the difference in retail kilowatt-hour (kwh) sales under actual weather conditions and expected retail kwh sales under normal weather conditions in 2022 and 2021. 2022 vs Normal 2022 vs 2021 2021 vs Normal Effect on Diluted Earnings Per Share $ 0.01 $ (0.02 ) $ 0.03 Operating Revenues increased $24.0 million primarily due to increased fuel recovery revenues and higher sales volumes. The increase in fuel recovery revenues is the result of higher purchased power and production fuel costs arising from increased natural gas and market energy costs. Sales volumes benefited from demand from commercial and industrial customers, including a new commercial customer load in North Dakota added in the current year, partially offset by the impact of unfavorable weather. Operating revenues in the third quarter of 2021 were impacted by additional adjustments to our estimated interim rate refund. Net Income increased $2.3 million primarily due to the increased operating revenues described above, partially offset by increased operating and maintenance expenses driven by a number of maintenance activities, including our planned outage at Coyote Station , maintenance at our wind farm facilities, and vegetation management, as well as higher transmission tariff expenses. Manufacturing Segment Three Months Ended September 30 , (in thousands) 2022 2021 $ Change % Change Operating Revenues $ 98,767 $ 89,977 $ 8,790 9.8 % Net Income 6,219 4,200 2,019 48.1 Operating Revenues increased $8.8 million primarily due to a 17% increase in sales volumes at BTD, partially offset by lower steel prices, which resulted in a $5.4 million decrease in material costs that are passed through to customers. Declines in scrap metal prices resulted in a $1.3 million decrease in scrap revenue. End market demand remains strong, however, supply chain disruptions experienced by our customers have continued to cause unpredictable shipments of our products to our customers. Increases in sales prices and volumes at T.O. Plastics, due to continued strong customer demand, also contributed to the segment increase in operating revenues. Net Income increased $2.0 million due to increased operating revenues described above, as well as lower operating expenses. Plastics Segment Three Months Ended September 30 , (in thousands) 2022 2021 $ Change % Change Operating Revenues $ 142,342 $ 107,542 $ 34,800 32.4 % Net Income 55,982 28,410 27,572 97.1 Operating Revenues increased $34.8 million due to a 57% increase in the price per pound of PVC pipe sold, as sales prices remain high due to extraordinary market conditions. Demand for PVC pipe began to soften during the third quarter as customers started to consume high priced inventory instead of buying additional PVC pipe. Sales volumes for the quarter decreased 15% due to softening customer demand. Net Income increased $27.6 million due to the increased operating revenues described above, and an increase in gross profit margins, as the increase in sales prices exceeded the increased costs of PVC resin and other input materials. Resin prices in the third quarter of 2022 increased compared to the same period in the previous year, but decreased compared to the second quarter of 2022. Corporate Costs Three Months Ended September 30 , (in thousands) 2022 2021 $ Change % Change Losses Before Income Taxes $ 4,727 $ 3,346 $ 1,381 41.3 % Income Tax Benefit (1,918 ) (962 ) (956 ) 99.4 Net Loss $ 2,809 $ 2,384 $ 425 17.8 % Net Loss at our corporate cost center was impacted by increased employee health care costs, increased professional service costs and losses on our corporate-owned life insurance policy investments, partially offset by a decrease in interest expense due to lower average borrowings on our corporate credit facility and a favorable effective tax rate based on our estimated consolidated effective tax rate for 2022. 2022 BUSINESS OUTLOOK We are lowering our 2022 diluted earnings per share guidance to a range of $6.42 to $6.72 primarily driven by expected sales volume reductions in our Plastics segment due to declining PVC resin prices. The midpoint of our revised 2022 diluted earnings per share guidance of $6.57 per share reflects a 55% growth rate from our 2021 diluted earnings per share of $4.23 . The segment components of our revised 2022 diluted earnings per share guidance range compared to 2021 actual earnings are as follows: 2021 EPS by Segment 2022 EPS Guidance August 1, 2022 2022 EPS Guidance October 31, 2022 Low High Low High Electric $ 1.73 $ 1.84 $ 1.88 $ 1.90 $ 1.94 Manufacturing 0.41 0.42 0.46 0.47 0.51 Plastics 2.34 4.96 5.15 4.45 4.64 Corporate (0.25 ) (0.39 ) (0.36 ) (0.40 ) (0.37 ) Total $ 4.23 $ 6.83 $ 7.13 $ 6.42 $ 6.72 Return on Equity 19.2 % 25.9 % 26.8 % 24.4 % 25.3 % The following items contributed to our revised 2022 earnings guidance: Electric Segment - We are increasing our guidance for our Electric Segment based on the following: Increased sales volumes from commercial and industrial customers and improved margins from favorable pricing. Lower than anticipated labor and non-labor operating and maintenance costs, partially offset by a higher planned contribution to our charitable foundation. Our revised guidance assumes normal weather conditions for the remainder of the year. Manufacturing Segment - We are increasing our guidance for our Manufacturing segment based on the following: Increased sales volumes at BTD driven by end market demand as our customers continue to build inventory to fill shortages created by supply chain challenges. Our customers continue to experience supply chain challenges which impact their ability to consistently take our product in line with their production timelines. The increase in sales volumes is partially offset by lower scrap income due to declining scrap metal prices. Increased earnings from T.O. Plastics driven by customer demand and improved gross profit margins due to the availability of low-cost raw material inputs and improved manufacturing productivity. Backlog for the manufacturing companies as of September 30, 2022 was approximately $141 million , compared with $116 million one year ago. Plastics Segment - We are decreasing our guidance for our Plastics segment based on the following: Reduced demand for PVC pipe in the fourth quarter of 2022 due to anticipated further declines in PVC resin prices resulting in reduced purchase volumes from distributors and contractors as they consume their higher priced inventories. We anticipate sale prices for PVC pipe will remain elevated for the remainder of 2022, but the potential for continued decline of resin prices and reduced sales volumes could put downward pressure on sales prices for the remainder of 2022 and into 2023. Finished goods inventory levels have started to increase as the availability of resin, additives and other ingredients used to manufacture PVC pipe has improved. We anticipate building inventory levels during the remainder of 2022 to position our businesses for the start of 2023 as we anticipate distributors will seek to restock inventory levels at that time. Corporate Costs - We are increasing our guidance for corporate costs based on the following: Investment losses on our corporate-owned life insurance policies and other investments during the third quarter of 2022 and an expected increase in health insurances costs in our self-insured health plan due to higher claims experience. CAPITAL EXPENDITURES The following provides a summary of actual capital expenditures for the year ended December 31, 2021 , anticipated annual capital expenditures for the current year ending December 31, 2022 , and anticipated capital expenditures for the next five years, along with average rate base and annual rate base growth of our Electric segment: (in millions) 2021 2022(1) 2023 2024 2025 2026 2027 Total 2023 - 2027 Electric Segment: Renewables and Natural Gas Generation $ 33 $ 88 $ 119 $ 88 $ 79 $ 10 $ 384 Technology and Infrastructure 9 33 30 6 5 1 75 Distribution Plant Replacements 40 33 37 38 38 43 189 Transmission (includes replacements) 38 34 36 46 87 78 281 Other 30 26 25 30 25 22 128 Total Electric Segment $ 140 $ 150 $ 214 $ 247 $ 208 $ 234 $ 154 $ 1,057 Manufacturing and Plastics Segments 32 34 48 53 29 25 24 179 Total Capital Expenditures $ 172 $ 184 $ 262 $ 300 $ 237 $ 259 $ 178 $ 1,236 Total Electric Utility Average Rate Base $ 1,575 $ 1,620 $ 1,750 $ 1,850 $ 1,990 $ 2,110 $ 2,210 Annual Rate Base Growth 2.9 % 8.0 % 5.7 % 7.6 % 6.0 % 4.7 % (1) Includes actual results for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 , and anticipated capital expenditures for the fourth quarter of 2022. Our capital expenditure plan for the next five years includes Electric segment investments in wind and solar resources, transmission and distribution assets, and investments in system reliability and technology. Our Electric segment capital plan produces a compounded annual growth rate in average rate base of 6.4% over the next five years and will serve as a key driver in increasing Electric segment earnings over this timeframe. Our capital expenditure plan in our Manufacturing and Plastics segments includes investments to bring additional capacity to our operations, providing an opportunity for organic growth within these segments.
