Announcement: AGR 8-K Special Filing

Analysis Part 1: Performance of Avangrid, Inc.

Avangrid has reported a healthy performance with $41 billion in assets and operations in 24 states. The company operates in two primary lines of business, Avangrid Networks and Avangrid Renewables, with Networks owning eight electric and natural gas utilities serving around 3.3 million customers in New York and New England, and Renewables owning and operating 9.2 gigawatts of electricity capacity through wind and solar power across 22 states. Avangrid has positioned itself as a leading sustainable energy company in the US, with a focus on environmental, social, governance, and financial sustainability.

Avangrid has also been recognized as one of the World's Most Ethical companies for the fifth consecutive year by the Ethisphere Institute, and one of the 2023 Just 100 companies, an annual ranking of the most just US public companies. As of March 31, 2023, Avangrid Renewables has contracted or hedged above 80% of its capacity under long-term PPAs to limit market volatility.

During the Texas weather event in February 2021, Avangrid Renewables operated in a safe and responsible manner, meeting all delivery obligations in Texas while selling excess energy based on the rules established by ERCOT. However, certain plaintiffs have filed cases against Avangrid Renewables entities in Texas, alleging liability for injuries and damages arising from the event. As of October 11, 2022, the Renewables entities were part of a motion to dismiss and are waiting for the judge's decision on this matter.

Analysis Part 2: Forward-Looking Analysis for Avangrid, Inc.

Avangrid is well-positioned to capitalize on the increasing demand for sustainable energy in the US, indicated by its strong performance in the first part of the analysis. The New York State Public Service Commission (NYSPSC) has also approved Avangrid's proposed purchase of Liberty Utilities' New York natural gas and electric interests, which will further increase Avangrid's presence in the Northeast US.

Avangrid will also continue to focus on its commitment to sustainability to attract and retain customers and investors. With the Biden administration's commitment to clean energy, Avangrid is expected to benefit from federal support for sustainable and renewable energy sources through incentives and favorable policies. However, the company's performance could be impacted by regulatory changes, especially the US government's policies related to climate change and clean energy.

In conclusion, Avangrid's strong performance and commitment to sustainability puts it in a good position to capitalize on the growing demand for sustainable energy in the US. Avangrid's acquisition of Liberty Utilities' New York natural gas and electric interests will further increase its size and reach in the Northeast US. However, regulatory changes could impact Avangrid's future performance, and the company will need to monitor those closely.

Avangrid: Sustainable Energy Stock to Watch.

Avangrid, Inc., a leading sustainable energy company, reported consolidated net income of $245 million, or $0.63 per share, for the first quarter ended March 31, 2023. Comparatively, for the same period in 2022, the company reported consolidated net income of $445 million, or $1.15 per share. However, Q1 2022 results included a gain of $181 million from the restructuring of the Company’s New England offshore wind lease partnership agreement. In terms of business operations, Avangrid continued its focus on operational excellence, meeting strategic objectives, and providing long-term value to its shareholders and customers. The company has received positive court rulings on its NECEC transmission project, approved a $2.25 billion in clean energy transmission investments, extended the merger agreement with PNM resources and formed a partnership with the Navajo Tribal Utility Authority, thus leading the company to a cleaner energy future. However, the company has expressed concerns regarding the increased depreciation expenses, business expenses, uncollectibles, taxes, and finance costs related to the Networks results for Q1 of 2023. Renewables, on the other hand, had a positive Q1 2023 due to favorable thermal and asset management, increased production, and production tax credits with a slight offset of increased depreciation and business expenses. Overall, the company shows strong potential for long-term growth with its commitment to operational excellence and sustainability.
