For the quarter ended March 31, 2023, we reported consolidated growth in net income of $5.6 million and NEE of $18.2 million. All segments reflected improved results in the quarter-over-quarter comparisons, as discussed below.
Gas Utility
The Gas Utility segment includes the regulated distribution operations of our five gas utilities across Alabama, Mississippi and Missouri. For the second quarter of fiscal 2023, Gas Utility reported NEE of $183.9 million, up $14.7 million from last year as higher contribution margins were partially offset by higher expenses including from regulatory cost recovery and other non-employee costs.
Contribution margin increased $41.7 million from the prior year reflecting new rates, partially offset by lower usage due to over 21% warmer weather compared to normal for our Utilities combined. Weather adjustment mechanisms did not fully mitigate the impact of these mild temperatures, especially in Alabama.
Operation and maintenance (O&M) expenses of $119.3 million were $12.4 million higher than a year ago, after consideration of a $2.7 million benefit from non-service costs which is offset in other income. The higher expenses include approximately $6 million of Spire Missouri overhead costs that are expensed in 2023 but were deferred last year pending the 2022 Missouri rate order. Bad debt expense, customer service, and other distribution operations costs were also higher.
Depreciation and amortization expense increased by $3.7 million from last year due to increased capital investment, and taxes other than income taxes increased by $10.1 million, driven by $8.1 million increase in pass-through taxes.
Gas utility interest expenses, net of carrying cost credits at Spire Missouri, was $30.0 million compared to $19.0 million in the prior year, with the increase resulting from higher average borrowing levels and interest rates.
Gas Marketing
The Gas Marketing segment includes the results of Spire Marketing, which provides natural gas marketing services throughout the United States. NEE, which excludes mark-to-market and other fair value adjustments, was $21.8 million, compared to $14.4 million in the prior year. The $7.4 million increase in year-over-year performance was driven by the continuation of favorable market conditions that created opportunities to optimize storage and transportation positions. Prior-year results also include a $6.2 million reserve release related to the resolution of commercial disputes from Winter Storm Uri.
Midstream
NEE for the Midstream segment, which includes Spire STL Pipeline and Spire Storage, totaled $4.2 million, up from $3.0 million a year ago, reflecting increased opportunities to optimize operational and withdrawal commitments at Spire Storage.
Other
Corporate costs, on an NEE basis totaled $10.7 million, up from $5.6 million a year ago, primarily due to increased interest expense reflecting higher rates and average short-term borrowing balances.
Regulatory Update
Missouri
On December 27, 2022, Spire Missouri filed with the Missouri Public Service Commission (MoPSC) a request for Infrastructure System Replacement (ISRS) revenues, reflecting infrastructure upgrade investments for the period October 2022 – February 2023. On April 20, 2023, the MoPSC approved an incremental annual ISRS revenue increase of $7.7 million effective May 6, 2023.

*Non-GAAP, see “Net Economic Earnings and Reconciliation to GAAP.”
For the first six months of fiscal 2023, we reported consolidated net income growth of $40.9 million and NEE growth of $40.7 million. Gas Marketing continued to deliver strong results through the second quarter. Gas Utility results also improved primarily from new rates, while higher Midstream earnings were driven by Storage optimization opportunities.
Gas Utility
For the first half of fiscal 2023, Gas Utility reported NEE of $246.8 million, up $10.4 million from last year as higher contribution margins were partially offset by higher costs and net interest expense.
Contribution margin increased $71.1 million from the prior year, with Spire Missouri and Spire Alabama contributing $54.6 and $7.8 million from rate resets, partially offset by lower usage as weather was almost 15% warmer than normal and 6% warmer than the prior year. Spire Gulf and Spire Mississippi also contributed $8.7 million to the year-over-year increase due to similar factors.
O&M expenses of $239.2 million were $27.0 million higher than a year ago after consideration of a $0.7 million benefit from non-service costs which is offset in other income. The higher costs include approximately $12.0 million in Spire Missouri general overhead costs that were being deferred in the prior-year period. O&M, net of expensed overheads and bad debt, was up roughly $9.5 million, due to similar trends we experienced in the quarter. These increases were partially offset by lower insurance and employee-related costs.
Depreciation and amortization expense increased by $8.8 million from last year, and other taxes — primarily pass-through taxes — increased by $23.0 million, both reflecting recent capital investment.
Gas Utility interest expense, net of carrying cost credits for the six months ended March 31, 2023, was $58.7 million compared to $38.7 million for the prior-year quarter. The $20.0 million increase was driven by higher average borrowing levels and rates.
Gas Marketing
NEE improved $32.6 million. The significant increase in year-over-year performance was driven by market conditions that created opportunities to optimize storage and transportation positions. Prior-year results were also impacted by a $6.2 million reserve release that occurred in the second quarter of fiscal 2022 as noted on the discussion of quarterly results.
Midstream
NEE for the Midstream segment totaled $8.0 million for the first half of fiscal 2023, up from $5.5 million a year ago, as Storage was able to optimize operational and withdrawal commitments.
Other
Corporate costs, primarily interest expense on corporate borrowings, on an NEE basis totaled $18.0 million this quarter, compared to $13.2 million a year ago, with higher interest expense being the primary driver.
Balance Sheets and Cash Flow
For the second quarter of fiscal 2023, we maintained a balanced capital structure and ample liquidity. Short-term borrowings outstanding at March 31, 2023, were $561.0 million, down from $1,037.5 million at the end of fiscal 2022 and $607.1 million a year ago. On February 13, 2023, Spire Missouri issued $400 million of 10-year first mortgage bonds with a 4.80% coupon. Proceeds were used to pay down short-term borrowings related to natural gas costs and for general corporate purposes. On March 7, 2023, Spire issued $150 million of 10-year senior notes with a 5.80% coupon. The proceeds will be used primarily to finance Storage investments and for general corporate purposes.
Net cash provided by operating activities was $179.9 million for the six months ended March 31, 2023, up from $155.1 million for the comparable period a year ago. The increase reflects higher net income in the current year, combined with higher recovery of deferred gas costs partially offset by other working capital variances.
Capital expenditures for the first half of fiscal 2023 were $307.8 million, compared to $275.9 million last year.
For additional details on Spire’s results for the second quarter and first half of fiscal 2023, please see the accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income, Balance Sheets, and Statements of Cash Flows.
Guidance and Outlook
We remain confident in our long-term ability to grow NEE per share 5-7% given our growth strategy and planned capital investment in infrastructure upgrades, new business and innovation. The base year for this growth is the midpoint of our original fiscal 2023 earnings guidance ($4.15 per share).
Reflecting results for the first half of our fiscal year, we are narrowing our fiscal 2023 NEE per share guidance range to $4.20–$4.30, and adjusting the NEE ranges at our business units as follows:
NEE by segment
| ($ Millions) | FY23 target |
| Gas Utility | $210 - $220 |
| Gas Marketing | 43 - 48 |
| Midstream | 10 - 12 |
| Corporate & Other | (25) - (30) |
The ranges above reflect the strong performance of our Gas Marketing and Midstream businesses, offset by the impacts of lower margins during the winter just concluded (Gas Utilities) and high interest expenses (Gas Utilities and Corporate costs).
Our targeted capital investment for the 10-year period through fiscal 2023 remains $7 billion, which is anticipated to drive 7–8% utility rate base growth. Expected capital expenditures for fiscal 2023 remain $700 million, including our Midstream expansion for Spire Storage, which remains on plan.
Dividends
The Spire board of directors has declared a quarterly common stock dividend of $0.72 per share, payable July 5, 2023, to shareholders of record on June 12, 2023. We have continuously paid a cash common stock dividend since 1946, with 2023 marking the 20th consecutive year of increasing dividends on an annualized basis.
The board also declared the regular quarterly dividend of $0.36875 per depositary share on Spire’s 5.90% Series A Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock payable August 15, 2023, to holders of record on July 25, 2023.

Forward-Looking Information and Non-GAAP Measures
This news release contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Spire’s future operating results may be affected by various uncertainties and risk factors, many of which are beyond the Company’s control, including weather conditions, economic factors, the competitive environment, governmental and regulatory policy and action, and risks associated with acquisitions. More complete descriptions and listings of these uncertainties and risk factors can be found in the Company’s annual (Form 10-K) filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
This news release includes the non-GAAP financial measures of “net economic earnings,” “net economic earnings per share,” and “contribution margin.” Management also uses these non-GAAP measures internally when evaluating the Company’s performance and results of operations. Net economic earnings exclude from net income, as applicable, the impacts of fair value accounting and timing adjustments associated with energy-related transactions, the impacts of acquisition, divestiture and restructuring activities and the largely non-cash impacts of impairments and other non-recurring or unusual items such as certain regulatory, legislative, or GAAP standard-setting actions. The fair value and timing adjustments, which primarily impact the Gas Marketing segment, include net unrealized gains and losses on energy-related derivatives resulting from the current changes in the fair value of financial and physical transactions prior to their completion and settlement, lower of cost or market inventory adjustments, and realized gains and losses on economic hedges prior to the sale of the physical commodity. Management believes that excluding these items provides a useful representation of the economic impact of actual settled transactions and overall results of ongoing operations. Contribution margin adjusts revenues to remove the costs that are directly passed on to customers and collected through revenues, which are the wholesale cost of natural gas and gross receipts taxes. These internal non-GAAP operating metrics should not be considered as an alternative to, or more meaningful than, GAAP measures such as operating income, net income, or earnings per share.
