What's Driving NJR's Business? Latest 10-Q Breakdown
AI-extracted from NEW JERSEY RESOURCES CORP's 10-Q filed 2026-05-05 — Q2 FY2026 (six months ended March 31, 2026). Every figure is machine-verified against the filing text on SEC EDGAR.
NJR net income grew to $341.4M (+1.7% YoY) driven by NJNG rate increases, ES market volatility gains, and S&T rate settlement benefits, offsetting CEV's $39.8M prior-year residential solar sale gain.
Biggest Revenue Drivers
Total revenue: $1,544.3M+10.2% YoY
Higher natural gas prices (+22% increase) on lower volumes; colder weather created favorable market volatility and pricing spreads
Higher rates at Adelphia due to recent FERC rate case settlement; improved margins on storage and transportation operations
Higher REC sales from commercial solar projects in service; three projects (13.4 MW) placed in service during period
Largest Expense Items
Increased cost of natural gas with higher commodity prices, partially offset by lower volumes and storage optimization
Result of additional utility plant placed into service and CEV solar asset additions
Higher employee expenses at NJNG offset by normal operational efficiency
Higher outstanding long-term debt and increased borrowing costs across segments
Margins: NJNG's Utility Gross Margin increased $35.3M (+7.4% YoY) to $511.4M due to base rate increase and BGSS incentive programs, offset by CIP weather adjustments. ES Financial Margin improved significantly to $135.3M (+78.0% YoY) benefiting from colder-than-normal weather and commodity price volatility.
Watch Items from the Filing
- CEV dependence on federal ITC eligibility; OBBBA accelerated phase-out requiring projects placed in service by December 31, 2027 unless construction began before July 4, 2026, and new construction guidance issued August 2025 may impact project pipeline.
- MGP remediation liability of $166.1M with estimated total future expenditures of $144.3M to $200.2M; NJNG seeking recovery through BPU-approved RAC rider mechanism, subject to regulatory approval and cost allocation.
- ES earnings highly volatile due to natural gas commodity derivatives marked-to-market; unrealized gains/losses of $(1.1)M in six months could significantly fluctuate with market movements and storage timing mismatches.
- NJNG's BGSS rate self-implementation of $38.1M increase effective December 1, 2025 through September 30, 2026 provisionally approved by BPU on December 17, 2025, subject to final reconciliation and potential adjustments.
