Item 7.01. | Regulation FD Disclosure |
RGC Resources, Inc. (the “Company”) reaffirms its Earnings Per Share ("EPS") guidance for the fiscal years ended September 30, 2018 and 2019 of $0.91 and $1.00, respectively.
Non-GAAP Measures
The Company is adjusting its EBITDA guidance for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2018 from $20.8 million to $19.6 million for the impact of tax reform to its regulated utility subsidiary, Roanoke Gas Company.
EBITDA is a non-GAAP measure that represents net income (loss) before interest expense, provision for income taxes, depreciation and amortization. EBITDA does not represent net income, which is the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure, and should not be considered as an alternative to net income (loss) as indicator of our operating performance. The $19.6 million is comprised of: net income - $6.9 million; interest expense - $2.6 million; provision for income taxes - $3.1 million; and depreciation - $7.0 million. EBITDA is not intended to be a measure of free cash flow available for management or discretionary use as such measures do not consider certain cash requirements such as capital expenditures, tax payments and debt service requirements.
Forward-Looking Statements
This report contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 that relate to the Company’s anticipated financial performance. These statements, by their nature, involve estimates, projections, forecasts and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed in the applicable statement.
