IDACORP (IDA) Q3 Earnings Drop Y/Y, View Narrow

Zacks Equity Research

IDACORP, Inc. IDA reported third-quarter 2019 earnings of $1.78 per share, which declined 11.88% from the year-ago quarter’s figure of $2.02.

The year-over-year decline in earnings was caused by mild and rainy weather, which led to lower irrigation sales and reduced transmission revenues on a year-over-year basis.

Highlights of the Release

Operating income increased $5.5 million from the year-ago quarter’s level. The upside can be attributed to 2.6% rise in Idaho Power customers.

Net income in the quarter under review was $89.9 million, reflecting a 12% decline from $102.2 million recorded in the year-ago period.
