Introduction
Montana-Dakota was incorporated under the state laws of Delaware in 1924. The Company was incorporated under the state laws of Delaware in 2018. Upon the completion of the Holding Company Reorganization, Montana-Dakota became a subsidiary of the Company. Its principal executive offices are located at 1200 West Century Avenue, P.O. Box 5650, Bismarck, North Dakota 58506-5650, telephone (701) 530-1000.
Through a strategy focusing on its "CORE," the Company strives to deliver superior value and achieve industry-leading performance as a pure-play regulated energy delivery company, while pursuing organic growth opportunities. The Company's "CORE" strategy prioritizes customers and communities, operational excellence, returns focused initiatives and an employee driven culture. The Company generates, transmits and distributes electricity and provides natural gas distribution, transportation and storage services. These businesses are regulated by state public service commissions and/or the FERC.
The Company is organized into three reportable business segments. These business segments include: electric, natural gas distribution and pipeline. The Company's business segments are determined based on the Company's method of internal reporting, which generally segregates the business activities by differences in products and services. The internal reporting of these segments is defined based on the reporting and review process used by the Company's CODM.
The Company, through its wholly-owned subsidiary, MDU Energy Capital, owns Montana-Dakota, Cascade and Intermountain. The electric segment is comprised of Montana-Dakota while the natural gas distribution segment is comprised of Montana-Dakota, Cascade and Intermountain.
The Company, through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Centennial, owns WBI Energy and Centennial Capital. WBI Energy is the pipeline segment and Centennial Capital is reflected in the Other category.
For more information on the Company's business segments, see Note 14 of the Condensed Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

Note 1 -
Basis of presentation
The accompanying consolidated interim financial statements were prepared in accordance with GAAP for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. Interim financial statements do not include all disclosures provided in annual financial statements and, accordingly, these financial statements should be read in conjunction with those appearing in the 2025 Annual Report. The information is unaudited but includes all adjustments that are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of the accompanying consolidated interim financial statements and are of a normal recurring nature. Depreciation and amortization expense is reported separately on the Consolidated Statements of Income and therefore is excluded from the other line items within operating expenses.
Management has also evaluated the impact of events occurring after June 30, 2026, up to the date of issuance of these consolidated interim financial statements on August 6, 2026, that would require recognition or disclosure in the Consolidated Financial Statements.

On October 31, 2024, the Company completed the separation of Everus, its former construction services segment, into a new independent, publicly-traded company. As a result of the separation, the Company provided to Everus and Everus provided to the Company transition services in accordance with the TSA entered into on October 31, 2024. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, the Company received $

Seasonality of operations
Some of the Company's operations are highly seasonal and revenues from, and certain expenses for, such operations may fluctuate significantly among quarterly periods. Accordingly, the interim results for particular businesses, and for the Company as a whole, may not be indicative of results for the full fiscal year.
Note 5 -
Receivables and allowance for expected credit losses
Receivables consist primarily of trade receivables from the sale of goods and services net of expected credit losses. The Company's trade receivables are all due in 12 months or less.
The Company's expected credit losses are determined through a review using historical credit loss experience, changes in asset specific characteristics, current conditions and reasonable and supportable future forecasts, among other specific account data, and is performed at least quarterly. The Company develops and documents its methodology to determine its allowance for expected credit losses at each of its reportable business segments. Risk characteristics used by the business segments may include customer mix, knowledge of customers and general economic conditions of the various local economies, among others. Specific account balances are written off when management determines the amounts to be uncollectible.
Management has reviewed the balance reserved through the allowance for expected credit losses and believes it is reasonable.

Inventories and natural gas in storage
Natural gas in storage is generally valued at lower of cost or market using the last-in, first-out method or lower of cost or net realizable value using the average cost or first-in, first-out method. The majority of all other inventories are valued at the lower of cost or net realizable value using the average cost method.
The portion of the cost of natural gas in storage expected to be used within 12 months was included in inventories.
Inventories on the Consolidated Balance Sheets were as follows:

Earnings per share
Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the applicable period. Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing net income by the total of the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the applicable period, plus the effect of non-vested performance share awards and restricted stock units, as well as potentially issuable shares pursuant to FSAs using the treasury stock method.
Net income was the same for both the basic and diluted earnings per share calculations.
A reconciliation of the weighted average common shares outstanding used in the basic and diluted earnings per share calculations follows:

Equity
At-the-market offering program
On August 7, 2025, the Company entered into an EDA pursuant to which it may issue, offer, and sell, from time to time, up to an aggregate gross sales price of $
400.0
million of shares of its common stock through an ATM offering program, which includes the ability to enter into FSAs. Since the establishment of the ATM offering program, the Company did not enter into any FSAs related to the EDA.
As of June 30, 2026, the Company had capacity to issue up to an aggregate gross sales price of $
370.0
million in shares of common stock under the ATM offering program. Details of the Company's ATM offering activity were as follows:

Equity forward sale agreements
On December 5, 2025, the Company completed a follow-on public offering of
10.2
million shares of the Company's common stock at a public offering price of $
19.70
per share. In addition, on December 23, 2025, the underwriters exercised their option to purchase
1.5
million additional shares of common stock. Pursuant to the FSAs entered into in connection with the offering, the Company has discretion to settle the FSAs on one or more settlement dates prior to December 6, 2027, subject to certain price adjustments as set forth in the FSAs as well as adjustments for transaction and other associated fees. The FSAs will be physically settled with shares of common stock issued by the Company, unless the Company elects to settle the FSAs in net cash or net shares, subject to certain conditions. If the Company elects to physically settle the FSAs, the Company will physically issue shares of common stock to the banking counterparties at the then-applicable forward sale price and receive proceeds at that time.
In March 2026, the Company partially settled the FSAs with physical delivery of
4.3
million shares of common stock to the counterparties in exchange for cash of $
81.3
million. At June 30, 2026, the Company could have settled all of its outstanding FSAs with physical delivery of
7.4
million shares of common stock to the banking counterparties in exchange for cash of approximately $
139.6
million. If the FSAs had been net cash or net share settled at June 30, 2026, the Company estimates that the counterparties, in aggregate, would have been entitled to a net settlement of $
16.8
million or
792,557
shares, respectively.
14
Index
The forward price used to determine amounts due at settlement is calculated based on the public offering price, subject to transaction and other associated fees, adjusted by the overnight bank funding rate, less a spread, and less expected dividends on the Company's common stock during the period the FSAs are outstanding.
The FSAs are indexed to the Company's stock and meet the other requirements for equity classification. As a result of the equity classification, no gain or loss is recognized in earnings associated with the subsequent changes in fair value of the FSAs. Stockholders' equity equal to cash proceeds net of deferred issuance costs were and will be recorded upon settlement.
FSAs earnings per share dilution
Prior to settlement, the potentially issuable shares pursuant to the FSAs will be reflected in the Company's diluted earnings per share calculation using the treasury stock method. Share dilution occurs when the average market price of the Company's stock during the reporting period is higher than the then-applicable forward sale price at the end of the reporting period. For more information on earnings per share, see Note 7.
Note 9 -
Revenue from contracts with customers
Revenue is recognized when a performance obligation is satisfied by transferring control over a product or service to a customer. Revenue is measured based on consideration specified in a contract with a customer and excludes any sales incentives and amounts collected on behalf of third parties. The Company is considered an agent for certain taxes collected from customers. As such, the Company presents revenues net of these taxes at the time of sale to be remitted to governmental authorities, including sales and use taxes.
Under ASC 606 -
Revenue from Contracts with Customers
, the Company elected the practical expedient to recognize the incremental costs of obtaining a contract as an expense when incurred if the amortization period of the asset that the Company otherwise would have recognized is 12 months or less.
The Company recognizes revenue from the sale of emissions allowances allocated under the environmental programs in certain states. The Company has the right to payment when the allowances are sold at auction. Revenue is recognized on a point in time basis within the quarter that the auction is held. The revenues associated with the sale of these allowances are deferred as a component of the respective jurisdiction’s regulatory liability for environmental compliance.
For more information on the Company’s regulatory assets and liabilities, see Note 10.
Disaggregation
In the following tables, revenue is disaggregated by the type of customer or service provided. The Company believes this level of disaggregation best depicts how the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows are affected by economic factors. The table also includes a reconciliation of the disaggregated revenue by reportable segments. For more information on the Company's business segments, see Note 14.

Remaining performance obligations
The remaining performance obligations at the pipeline segment include firm transportation and storage contracts with fixed pricing and fixed volumes. The Company has applied the practical expedient that does not require additional disclosures for contracts with an original duration of less than
12
months, to certain firm transportation, storage and non-regulated contracts. The Company's firm transportation and storage contracts included in the remaining performance obligations have weighted average remaining durations of less than
four years
and
two years
, respectively.
At June 30, 2026, the Company expects to recognize revenue in future periods from remaining performance obligations, as follows:

Estimated recovery or refund period for amounts currently being recovered or refunded in rates to customers.
**
Recovered as expense is incurred or cash contributions are made.
As of June 30, 2026 and 2025, and December 31, 2025, approximately $
178.9
million, $
177.2
million and $
174.3
million, respectively, of regulatory assets were not earning a rate of return but are expected to be recovered from customers in future rates. These assets are largely comprised of the unfunded portion of pension and postretirement benefits, asset retirement obligations, estimated future cost of manufactured gas plant site remediation and certain pipeline integrity cost recovery mechanisms.
The Company is subject to environmental compliance regulations in certain states which require natural gas distribution companies to reduce overall GHG emissions to certain thresholds as established by each applicable state. Compliance with these standards may be achieved through increased energy efficiency and conservation measures, purchased emission allowances and offsets and purchases of low carbon fuels. Emission allowances are allocated by the respective states to the Company at no cost, of which a portion is required to be sold at auction in certain states. The compliance costs for these regulations and the revenues from the sale of the allocated emissions allowances are passed through to customers in rates and the Company has, accordingly, deferred the environmental compliance costs as a regulatory asset and proceeds from the sale of allowances as a regulatory liability.
If, for any reason, the Company's regulated businesses cease to meet the criteria for application of regulatory accounting for all or part of their operations, the regulatory assets and liabilities relating to those portions ceasing to meet such criteria would be written off and included in the statement of income or accumulated other comprehensive loss in the period in which the discontinuance of regulatory accounting occurs.
Regulatory proceedings
The Company regularly reviews the need for electric and natural gas rate changes in each of the jurisdictions in which service is provided. The Company files for rate adjustments to seek recovery of operating costs and capital investments, as well as reasonable returns as allowed by regulators. Certain regulatory proceedings and cases may also contain recurring mechanisms that can have an annual true-up. Examples of these recurring mechanisms include: infrastructure riders, transmission trackers, renewable resource cost adjustment riders, as well as weather normalization and decoupling mechanisms. The Company is unable to predict the ultimate outcome of these matters, the timing of final decisions of the various regulators and courts, or the effect on the Company's results of operations, financial position or cash flows.

Note 11 -
Environmental allowances and obligations
The Company's natural gas distribution segment acquires environmental allowances as part of its requirement to comply with environmental regulations in certain states. Allowances are allocated by the respective states to the Company at no cost and additional allowances are required to be purchased as needed based on the requirements in the respective states. The segment records purchased and allocated environmental allowances at weighted average cost under the inventory method of accounting.
Environmental compliance obligations, which are based on GHG emissions, are measured at the carrying value of environmental allowances held plus the estimated value of additional allowances necessary to satisfy the compliance obligation.
The Company recognizes revenue from the sale of emissions allowances allocated under the environmental programs when the allowances are sold at auction. The revenues associated with the sale of these allowances are deferred as a component of the respective jurisdiction’s regulatory liability for environmental compliance.
As environmental allowances are surrendered, the segment reduces the associated environmental compliance assets and liabilities from the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The expenses and revenues associated with the Company’s environmental allowances and obligations are deferred as regulatory assets and liabilities and recognized as a component of purchased natural gas sold as recovered in customer rates.
For more information on the Company’s regulatory assets and liabilities, see Note 10.
Note 12 -
Fair value measurements
Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The fair value ASC establishes a hierarchy for grouping assets and liabilities, based on the significance of inputs. The estimated fair values of the Company's assets and liabilities measured on a recurring basis are determined using the market approach.
The Company measures its investments in certain fixed-income and equity securities at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in income.
The Company anticipates using these investments, which consist of insurance contracts, to satisfy its obligations under its unfunded, nonqualified defined benefit and defined contribution plans for executive officers and certain key management employees and invests in these fixed-income and equity securities for the purpose of earning investment returns and capital appreciation. These investments, which totaled $
70.4
million, $
64.1
million and $
67.4
million, at June 30, 2026 and 2025, and December 31, 2025, respectively, are classified as Investments on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The net unrealized gain on these investments was $
4.6
million and $
4.1
million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, respectively. The net unrealized gain on these investments was $
3.0
million and $
2.6
million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, respectively. The change in fair value, which is considered part of the cost of the plan, is classified in Other income on the Consolidated Statements of Income. In the first quarter of 2026 and second quarter of 2025, the Company withdrew $
4.0
million and $
5.0
million, respectively, of cash in excess of
125
percent of the full funding amount, which had no effect on the cost basis of the investments held.
20
Index
The Company did not elect the fair value option, which records gains and losses in income, for its available-for-sale securities, which include mortgage-backed securities and U.S. Treasury securities. These available-for-sale securities are recorded at fair value and are classified as Investments on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.
Unrealized gains or losses are recorded in Accumulated other comprehensive loss on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

The Company's money market funds are valued at the net asset value of shares held at the end of the period, based on published market quotations on active markets, or using other known sources including pricing from outside sources. The estimated fair value of the Company's mortgage-backed securities and U.S. Treasury securities are based on comparable market transactions, other observable inputs or other sources, including pricing from outside sources. The estimated fair value of the Company's insurance contracts are based on contractual cash surrender values that are determined primarily by investments in managed separate accounts of the insurer. These amounts approximate fair value. The managed separate accounts are valued based on other observable inputs or corroborated market data.
Though the Company believes the methods used to estimate fair value are consistent with those used by other market participants, the use of other methods or assumptions could result in a different estimate of fair value.
The Company applies the provisions of the fair value measurement standard to its nonrecurring, non-financial measurements, including long-lived asset impairments. These assets are not measured at fair value on an ongoing basis but are subject to fair value adjustments only in certain circumstances. The Company reviews the carrying value of its long-lived assets, excluding goodwill, whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that such carrying amounts may not be recoverable.

Note 13 -
Debt
Certain debt instruments of the Company and its subsidiaries contain restrictive and financial covenants and cross-default provisions. In order to borrow under the respective debt agreements, the Company and its subsidiaries must be in compliance with the applicable covenants and certain other conditions. The Company and its subsidiaries were in compliance with applicable covenants at June 30, 2026. In the event the Company or its subsidiaries do not comply with the applicable covenants and other conditions, alternative sources of funding may need to be pursued.
Credit facilities
Montana-Dakota's commercial paper program is supported by a revolving credit agreement. While the amount of commercial paper outstanding does not reduce available capacity under the revolving credit agreement, Montana-Dakota does not issue commercial paper in an aggregate amount exceeding the available capacity under the credit agreement. The Company's borrowings under the commercial paper program and revolving credit agreements are classified as long-term debt as they are intended to be refinanced on a long-term basis through continued borrowings. All of the credit agreements contain customary covenants and provisions, including covenants not to permit, as of the end of any fiscal quarter, the ratio of funded debt to total capitalization (determined on a consolidated basis) to be greater than
65
percent. Other covenants include restrictions on the sale of certain assets, limitations on indebtedness and the making of certain investments.

Note 14 -
Business segment data
The Company's
reportable segments
are those that are based on the Company's method of internal reporting, which generally segregates the strategic business units due to differences in products, services and regulation. The internal reporting of these operating segments is defined based on the reporting and review process used by the Company's CODM, the chief executive officer.
The Company's operations are located within the United States.
The Company's CODM regularly reviews discrete financial information of each reportable segment and uses net income to assess the performance of each reportable segment. The CODM uses this information to assess performance and make decisions about resources to be allocated to each reportable segment, including capital and personnel. The information provided to the CODM is prepared at the reportable segment level in quarterly financial packages and on a more summarized basis monthly. Budget and forecast information is also provided to the CODM at the reportable segment level.
The electric segment generates, transmits and distributes electricity in Montana, North Dakota, South Dakota and Wyoming. The natural gas distribution segment distributes natural gas in those states, as well as in Idaho, Minnesota, Oregon and Washington. These operations also supply related value-added services.
The pipeline segment provides natural gas transportation and underground storage services through a FERC regulated pipeline system primarily in the Rocky Mountain and northern Great Plains regions of the United States. This segment also provides non-regulated energy-related services, including cathodic protection.
The Other category includes the activities of Centennial Capital, which, through its subsidiary InterSource Insurance Company, insures various types of risks as a captive insurer for certain of the Company's subsidiaries. The function of the captive insurer is to fund the self-insured layers of the insured Company's general liability, automobile liability and other coverages. In addition, the Other category includes certain assets, liabilities and tax adjustments of the holding company primarily associated with corporate functions. Also included are certain general and administrative costs (reflected in operation and maintenance expense) and interest expense, which were previously allocated to the Company's former businesses which do not meet the criteria for discontinued operations.
Discontinued operations includes certain costs associated with legacy business activities other than certain general and administrative costs and interest expense as described above.

Note 16 -
Commitments and contingencies
The Company is party to claims and lawsuits arising out of its business and that of its consolidated subsidiaries, which may include, but are not limited to, matters involving property damage, personal injury, and environmental, contractual, statutory and regulatory obligations. The Company accrues a liability for those contingencies when the incurrence of a loss is probable and the amount can be reasonably estimated. If a range of amounts can be reasonably estimated and no amount within the range is a better estimate than any other amount, then the minimum of the range is accrued. The Company does not accrue liabilities when the likelihood that the liability has been incurred is probable but the amount cannot be reasonably estimated or when the liability is believed to be only reasonably possible or remote. For contingencies where an unfavorable outcome is probable or reasonably possible and which are material, the Company discloses the nature of the contingency and, in some circumstances, an estimate of the possible loss. Accruals are based on the best information available, but in certain situations management is unable to estimate an amount or range of a reasonably possible loss including, but not limited to when: (1) the damages are unsubstantiated or indeterminate, (2) the proceedings are in the early stages, (3) numerous parties are involved, or (4) the matter involves novel or unsettled legal theories.
At June 30, 2026 and 2025, and December 31, 2025, the Company accrued liabilities, which have not been discounted, of $
24.6
million, $
25.0
million and $
26.1
million, respectively. The Company also recorded corresponding receivables of $
69,000
, $
1.4
million, and $
1.6
million, at June 30, 2026 and 2025, and December 31, 2025, respectively. The Company recorded regulatory assets of $
22.7
million, $
22.3
million and $
23.2
million, at June 30, 2026 and 2025, and December 31, 2025, respectively, related to the accrued liabilities. The accruals are for contingencies resulting from litigation, regulatory and environmental matters. This includes amounts that have been accrued for matters discussed in Environmental matters within this note. The Company will continue to monitor each matter and adjust accruals as might be warranted based on new information and further developments. In January 2026, the Company received a final order on a regulatory commission complaint for $
2.0
million, with $
250,000
suspended on the condition that the Company complete additional compliance actions outlined in the order. At December 31, 2025, the Company had $
1.75
million included in accrued liabilities, which was paid in February 2026.
Management believes that the outcomes with respect to probable and reasonably possible losses in excess of the amounts accrued, net of recoveries, while uncertain, either cannot be estimated or will not have a material effect upon the Company's financial position, results of operations or cash flows. Unless otherwise required by GAAP, legal costs are expensed as they are incurred.
Environmental matters
The Company is a party to claims for the cleanup of environmental contamination at certain manufactured gas plant sites. There were no material changes to the Company's environmental matters that were previously reported in the 2025 Annual Report.

Index
Guarantees
The Company and certain subsidiaries have outstanding letters of credit to third parties related to insurance policies and other agreements, some of which are guaranteed by other subsidiaries of the Company. At June 30, 2026, the fixed maximum amounts guaranteed under these letters of credit aggregated $
3.2
million, all of which have scheduled expiration of the maximum amounts in 2026. There were
no
amounts outstanding under the previously mentioned letters of credit at June 30, 2026. In the event of default under these letter of credit obligations, the Company or subsidiary guaranteeing the letter of credit would be obligated for reimbursement of payments made under the letter of credit.
In the normal course of business, the Company and its subsidiaries have surety bonds. In the event the Company or its subsidiaries do not fulfill a bonded obligation, the Company or its subsidiaries would be responsible to the surety bond company for completion of the bonded contract or obligation. At June 30, 2026, approximately $
12.4
million of surety bonds were outstanding, which were not reflected on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.
Leases
The Company's leases primarily include operating leases for equipment, buildings, easements and vehicles. The Company leases certain equipment to third parties through its utility business, which are considered short-term operating leases with terms of less than 12 months. Lease revenue was not material for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 or 2025. At June 30, 2026, the Company had
no
lease receivables.
Variable interest entities
The Company evaluates its arrangements and contracts with other entities to determine if they are VIEs and if so, if the Company is the primary beneficiary.
Fuel Contract
Coyote Station entered into a coal supply agreement with Coyote Creek that provides for the purchase of coal necessary to supply the coal requirements of the Coyote Station for the period May 2016 through December 2040. Coal purchased under the coal supply agreement is reflected in Inventories on the Consolidated Balance Sheets and is recovered from customers as a component of electric fuel and purchased power.
The coal supply agreement creates a variable interest in Coyote Creek due to the transfer of all operating and economic risk to the Coyote Station owners, as the agreement is structured so that the price of the coal will cover all costs of operations, as well as future reclamation costs. The Coyote Station owners are also providing a guarantee of the value of the assets of Coyote Creek as they would be required to buy the assets at book value should they terminate the contract prior to the end of the contract term and are providing a guarantee of the value of the equity of Coyote Creek in that they are required to buy the entity at the end of the contract term at equity value. Although the Company has determined that Coyote Creek is a VIE, the Company has concluded that it is not the primary beneficiary of Coyote Creek because the authority to direct the activities of the entity is shared by the four unrelated owners of the Coyote Station, with no primary beneficiary existing. As a result, Coyote Creek is not required to be consolidated in the Company's financial statements.
At June 30, 2026, the Company's exposure to loss as a result of the Company's involvement with the VIE, based on the Company's ownership percentage, was $
22.6
million.

Three Months Ended June 30, 2026, Compared to Three Months Ended June 30, 2025
The Company's consolidated earnings increased $7.6 million. Drivers of the earnings increase include:
•
The electric business earnings increase was largely the result of higher retail sales revenue, primarily from recovery mechanisms associated with renewable investments including Badger Wind Farm. Interim rates in Montana and new rates in Wyoming, along with higher retail sales volumes across all major customer classes, further drove the increase. The increase was partially offset by higher interest expense associated with debt issuances for recent capital investments, including Badger Wind Farm, as well as higher depreciation expense and operation and maintenance expense, primarily related to Badger Wind Farm.
•
The natural gas distribution business reported a decreased seasonal loss, primarily driven by new rates in Idaho, Washington, Montana and Wyoming, as well as higher retail sales volumes across all customer classes. These impacts were partially offset by higher interest expense resulting from higher long-term debt balances.
•
The earnings decrease at the pipeline business was driven by lower other income and higher depreciation and amortization expense from a growth project placed in service. These impacts were partially offset by continued customer demand for short-term natural gas transportation contracts and interruptible storage services, as well as contributions from previously constructed growth projects, including a contracted volume increase.
•
Other experienced an increase in net income primarily due to income from discontinued operations associated with a $1.5 million tax benefit related to an election to change the tax method for certain strategic initiative costs. Other also reflects income tax adjustments related to the Company's annualized estimated tax rate.
Six Months Ended June 30, 2026, Compared to Six Months Ended June 30, 2025
The Company's consolidated earnings increased $6.4 million. Drivers of the earnings increase include:
•
The electric business earnings increase was largely the result of higher retail sales revenue, primarily from recovery mechanisms associated with renewable investments including Badger Wind Farm. Interim rates in Montana and new rates in Wyoming further drove the increase. The increase was partially offset by higher interest expense associated with debt issuances for recent capital investments, including Badger Wind Farm, as well as higher depreciation expense and operation and maintenance expense, primarily related to Badger Wind Farm.
•
The natural gas distribution business reported an increase in earnings, primarily driven by new rates in Washington, Idaho, Montana and Wyoming. The increase was partially offset by lower retail sales and electric generation transportation volumes due to warmer first quarter weather. Higher interest expense resulting from higher debt balances, lower other income, and higher operation and maintenance expense, primarily attributable to increased payroll-related costs, further offset the increase.
33
Index
•
The decrease in earnings at the pipeline business was driven by lower other income. The business also incurred higher operation and maintenance expense, primarily attributable to higher payroll-related costs, materials, and consulting and legal costs associated with the business's recently filed rate case. Lower interruptible natural gas storage withdrawals and higher Montana property tax accruals also contributed to the decrease. These impacts were partially offset by continued customer demand for short-term natural gas transportation contracts, as well as contributions from previously constructed growth projects, including a contracted volume increase.
•
Other experienced an increase in net income primarily due to income from discontinued operations associated with a $1.5 million tax benefit related to an election to change the tax method for certain strategic initiative costs. Other also reflects income tax adjustments related to the Company's annualized estimated tax rate.
A discussion of key financial data from the Company's business segments follows.
Business Segment Financial and Operating Data
The following sections include key financial and operating data for each of the Company's business segments. Also included are highlights on key growth strategies, projections and certain assumptions for the Company and its subsidiaries and other matters of the Company's business segments.
For information pertinent to various commitments and contingencies, see the Condensed Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. For a summary of the Company's business segments, see Note 14 of the Condensed Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.
Electric and Natural Gas Distribution
Strategy and challenges
The electric and natural gas distribution segments provide electric and natural gas distribution services to customers, as discussed in Note 14. Both segments strive to be top performing utilities and provide safe, reliable, competitively priced and environmentally responsible energy services to customers. The segments are focused on cultivating organic growth while managing operating costs and monitoring opportunities for these segments to retain, grow and expand their customer base through extensions of existing operations, including building and upgrading electric generation, transmission and distribution, and natural gas systems. The continued efforts to create operational improvements and efficiencies across both segments promotes the Company's business integration strategy. The primary factors that impact the results of these segments are the ability to earn authorized rates of return; weather; climate change laws, regulations and initiatives; competitive factors in the energy industry; population growth; and economic conditions in the segments' service areas.
The electric and natural gas distribution segments are subject to extensive regulation in the jurisdictions where they conduct operations with respect to costs, timely recovery of investments and permitted returns on investment. The Company is focused on modernizing utility infrastructure to meet the varied energy needs of both its customers and communities while working to deliver safe, reliable, affordable and environmentally responsible energy. The segments continue to invest in facility upgrades to be in compliance with existing and known future regulations. To assist in the reduction of regulatory lag in obtaining revenue increases to align with increased investments, tracking mechanisms have been implemented in certain jurisdictions. The Company also seeks rate adjustments for operating costs and capital investments, as well as reasonable returns on investments not covered by tracking mechanisms. For more information on the Company's tracking mechanisms and recent rate cases, see Note 10 and the 2025 Annual Report.
These segments are also subject to extensive regulation related to certain operational and environmental compliance, cybersecurity, permit terms and system integrity. Both segments are faced with the ongoing need to actively evaluate cybersecurity processes and procedures related to its transmission and distribution systems for opportunities to further strengthen its cybersecurity protections. There have been cyber and physical attacks within the energy industry on infrastructure, such as substations, and the Company continues to evaluate the safeguards implemented to protect its electric and natural gas utility systems. Implementation of enhancements and additional requirements to protect the Company's infrastructure is ongoing.
To date, many states have enacted and others are considering, mandatory energy standards requiring utilities to meet certain thresholds of renewable and/or carbon-free energy supply. Over the long-term, the Company expects overall electric demand to be positively impacted by increased electrification trends as a means to address economy-wide carbon emission concerns, large data center growth and changing customer conservation patterns. MISO and NERC announced concerns with reliability of the electric grid due to rapid expansion of renewables and retirement of baseload resources such as coal and the uncertainty of adequate energy production during certain periods of time, while load growth has increased faster than expected due to large power users. The Company will continue to monitor the progress of these changes, including the impacts associated with the implementation of MISO's direct loss of load accreditation in 2028, and assess the potential impacts they may have on its stakeholders, business processes, results of operations, cash flows and disclosures.
34
Index
Revenues are impacted by both customer growth and usage, the latter of which is primarily impacted by weather, as well as impacts associated with commercial and industrial slow-downs, including economic recessions, and energy efficiencies. Very cold winters increase demand for natural gas and to a lesser extent, electricity, while warmer than normal summers increase demand for electricity, especially among residential and commercial customers. Average consumption among both electric and natural gas customers has tended to decline as more efficient lighting, appliances, and furnaces are installed, and as the Company has implemented conservation programs. Natural gas weather normalization and decoupling mechanisms in certain jurisdictions have been implemented to largely mitigate the effect that would otherwise be caused by variations in volumes sold to these customers due to weather and changing consumption patterns on the Company's distribution margins.
The Company continues to proactively monitor and work with its manufacturers to reduce the effects of increased pricing and lead times on delivery of certain raw materials and equipment used in electric generation, transmission and distribution system and natural gas pipeline projects. Long lead times are attributable to increased demand for steel products from pipeline companies as they continue pipeline system safety and integrity replacement projects driven by PHMSA regulations, as well as delays in the manufacturing and shipping of electrical equipment and increased demand for electrical equipment due to regulatory activity and grid expansion. The Company has been able to minimize the effects by working closely with suppliers or obtaining additional suppliers, as well as modifying project plans to accommodate extended lead times and increased costs. The Company expects these delays to continue. Inflationary pressures remain volatile and costs for goods and services also remain high. The Company also continues to monitor the impact tariffs will have on its costs. Tariff increases on raw materials could negatively affect the Company's construction projects and maintenance work. For additional discussion regarding risks and uncertainties, see Part I, Item 1A. Risk Factors in the 2025 Annual Report.
The ability to grow through acquisitions is subject to significant competition and acquisition premiums. In addition, the ability of the segments to grow their service territory and customer base is affected by regulatory constraints, the economic environment of the markets served, population changes and competition from other energy providers and fuel. The construction of new electric generating facilities, transmission lines and other service facilities is subject to higher costs and long lead times for equipment, extensive permitting procedures, and federal and state legislative and regulatory initiatives, which may necessitate increases in electric energy prices. As the industry continues to expand the use of renewable energy sources, the need for additional transmission infrastructure is growing. As part of MISO's long range transmission plan, in August 2022, the Company announced its intent to develop, construct and co-own JETx with Otter Tail Power Company in central North Dakota. In October 2023, the FERC issued an order approving the Company's request for CWIP Incentive Rate and Abandoned Plant Incentive treatment on this project. Montana-Dakota and Otter Tail Power Company received approval of a Certificate of Public Convenience and Necessity from the NDPSC in November 2024 on this project. The route permit for the JETx line was approved by the NDPSC in June 2026.

Outlook
In 2025, the utility business experienced rate base growth of 16.0 percent which includes the purchase of its ownership stake in Badger Wind Farm as discussed below. These segments grew rate base by 8.7 percent annually over the last five years on a compound basis and expect to invest approximately $2.5 billion of capital expenditures over the next five years. Operations are spread across eight states where the Company expects customer growth to be higher than the national average. In 2025, these segments experienced retail customer growth of approximately 1.5 percent, and the Company expects customer growth to continue to average 1 percent to 2 percent per year. This customer growth, along with system upgrades and replacements needed to supply safe and reliable service, will require investments in new and replacement electric and natural gas systems.
These segments are exposed to energy price volatility and may be impacted by changes in oil and natural gas exploration and production activity. Rate schedules in the jurisdictions in which the Company's natural gas distribution segment operates contain clauses that permit the Company to file for rate adjustments for changes in the cost of purchased natural gas. Although changes in the price of natural gas are passed through to customers and have minimal impact on the Company's earnings, the natural gas distribution segment's customers may benefit through the Company's utilization of storage and fixed price contracts to help manage price volatility.
Recent regulatory developments have the potential to impact the operation and compliance strategy for Coyote Station. In December 2024, the EPA issued a final decision on the NDDEQ's Regional Haze state implementation plan, disapproving the state's conclusion that no additional controls are warranted for Coyote Station during this implementation period. The EPA has not issued a federal implementation plan in place of the state plan. In January 2025, the Coyote Station co-owners filed a petition challenging the plan disapproval for review with the Eighth Circuit. This action is currently being held in abeyance. In February 2025, the co-owners filed a petition for reconsideration with the EPA, which was granted in April 2025. In October 2025, the EPA released an advanced notice of proposed rulemaking seeking input on restructuring the program with the intent to streamline regulatory requirements for states' visibility improvement obligations. The Electric Generation GHG Rule and Mercury and Air Toxics Standards Rule, as discussed below, also have the potential to impact the operation of Coyote Station. The Company is one of four owners of Coyote Station and cannot make a unilateral decision on the plant's future; therefore, the Company could be negatively impacted by decisions of the other owners. The joint owners continue to collaborate in analyzing data and weighing decisions that impact the plant and its employees as well as each company's customers and communities served.
In December 2025, the Company completed the acquisition of a 49 percent ownership interest in Badger Wind Farm and placed the asset in service. The completed transaction secures 122.5 MW of the project's total 250 MW generation capacity for the Company and follows the NDPSC's Advance Determination of Prudence and Certificate of Public Convenience and Necessity approvals, confirming the project is a prudent, cost-effective investment for customers.
In March 2023, the Company began to provide power for Applied Digital's data center near Ellendale, North Dakota. At full capacity, the data center requires 180 MW of electricity, equivalent to approximately 21 percent of the Company's generation portfolio. Applied Digital's load is purchased from the MISO market and does not impact the power supply available to other customers. The NDPSC approved an electric service agreement to serve an additional 350 MW of data center load with Applied Digital in the Company's service territory. Approximately 60 MW of the incremental data center load is currently online, with the remaining capacity available and awaiting Applied Digital's request to increase service. Load at the second HPC building in Ellendale is expected to begin ramping in the third quarter of 2026. The third HPC building at Ellendale is scheduled to begin ramping in January 2027.
In June 2026, the Company announced the signing of a new electric service agreement to serve its newest data center campus near Center, North Dakota. The electric service agreement supports 430 MWs of HPC load and is currently scheduled to come online in the third quarter of 2027, pending various approvals, including NDPSC approval of the electric service agreement.
In August 2024, the Company filed a request with the SDPUC seeking approval on an electric service agreement to provide up to 50 MW of electricity to a data center near Leola, South Dakota. Construction of the data center and approval of the electric service agreement which had been pending development of new local siting requirements for data center loads by McPherson County in South Dakota, were effective August 5, 2025. Approval of the electric service agreement with the SDPUC is still pending along with an updated conditional use permit for the data center siting with McPherson County.
The Company's approach to serving data center customers, is grounded in protecting existing customers and ensuring that growth creates values for the communities the Company serves. Data center customers are responsible for paying the costs associated with connecting to and being served by the electric system, including infrastructure and energy-related expenses. Through careful planning, regulatory oversight and cost-allocation mechanisms, the Company works to ensure that existing customers are not subsidizing the costs of serving these new customers. At the same time, the additional revenue generated from serving data center customers can help support the electric system and contribute to reducing certain fixed costs by allocating them across a broader customer base. The Company believes this current approach creates benefits for all customers.

Index
Legislation and rulemaking
The Company monitors legislation and rulemaking that may impact its segments. Below are some of the specific actions the Company is monitoring.
•
In May 2024, the EPA published four final rules, affecting power sector GHG standards, mercury controls, effluent limits and coal ash management. In March 2025, the EPA announced reconsideration of the Electric Generation and GHG Rule, Mercury and Air Toxics Standards Rule, and Effluent Limitations Guidelines Rule. Depending on final outcomes, compliance costs, and regulatory recovery of compliance costs from customers, these rules could have a material adverse effect on the Company's results of operations and cash flows.
◦
In June 2025, the EPA proposed repealing and replacing the May 2024 Electric Generation GHG Rule, with options to (a) exclude the power sector from GHG regulations or (b) remove carbon capture and sequestration requirements while retaining efficiency based standards for natural gas fired combustion units. A final rule is expected in 2026. The Company continues to monitor this rulemaking.
◦
In February 2026, the EPA repealed the 2024 Mercury and Air Toxics Standard Rule and restored the 2012 Mercury and Air Toxics Standard Rule, under which the Company’s coal plants maintain compliance. The repeal of the 2024 Mercury and Air Toxics Standard Rule is in litigation.
◦
The Company determined that the Effluent Limitations Guidelines Rule and related amendments do not have a material impact on the Company.
◦
In April 2026, the EPA proposed amendments to federal regulations for coal combustion residuals at legacy coal ash sites. Comments were due in June 2026.
•
In February 2026, the EPA rescinded the 2009 Endangerment Finding and related motor vehicle GHG standards under the Clean Air Act. This action does not directly address or repeal GHG regulations for power plants and other non-motor vehicle sources. The rescinded rules are in litigation.
•
In July 2024, the ODEQ published its proposed rules to create a new CPP. The OEQC adopted the rules in November 2024. In April 2026, Cascade joined with 28 other companies, organizations and individuals in filing a lawsuit in the Oregon Court of Appeals challenging the OEQC's statutory authority to adopt the CPP and asking the court to invalidate the CPP. In May 2026, the Oregon Court of Appeals granted a motion to expedite litigation challenging the CPP. The Company will continue to strive to satisfy all requirements set by the CPP while this litigation is underway. The Company intends to meet its obligations first through no-cost emissions allowances and will fill remaining compliance obligations by investing in additional customer conservation and energy efficiency programs, purchasing community climate investment credits, and acquiring environmental attributes from low-carbon fuel projects such as RNG. Compliance costs for these regulations are being recovered through customer rates. Due to the timing of regulatory recovery, future compliance obligation purchases could impact the Company's operating cash flow.
•
In Washington, the Climate Commitment Act was adopted by the Washington Legislature in 2021 and became effective in 2023. The Climate Commitment Act establishes a cap-and-invest program designed to reduce GHG emissions over time, while using auctioned allowances to fund state energy and environmental policy goals. The Company intends to meet its compliance obligations through a combination of energy efficiency measures, no-cost allowances, purchased allowances, and carbon offsets. Compliance costs for these regulations are being recovered through customer rates. Due to the timing of regulatory recovery, the purchase of allowances could impact the Company's operating cash flow.
•
The Washington SBCC in 2023 adopted residential and commercial building code amendments that will significantly limit the use of natural gas for space and water heating in new and retrofitted commercial and residential buildings. In May 2024, the Company filed a joint complaint seeking declaratory and injunctive relief under federal law against the Washington SBCC's adoption of the amended Washington State Energy Code. This complaint was dismissed by the federal district court. Petitioners have appealed this decision to the Ninth Circuit. The Company's opening brief was filed in July 2025. Oral argument before a three-judge panel of the Ninth Circuit was held in February 2026.
Initiative Measure No. 2066, which was approved by voters, does not allow the Washington State Energy Code to "in any way prohibit, penalize, or discourage the use of gas for any form of heating, or for uses related to any appliance or equipment, in any building." In May 2025, the King County Superior Court filed an order ruling Initiative Measure No. 2066 unconstitutional. Following the ruling, the Building Industry Association of Washington filed a notice of appeal with the King County Superior Court. The King County Superior Court’s order invalidating Initiative Measure No. 2066 is now pending review by the Washington State Supreme Court. The Court heard oral arguments in the case in January 2026.
•
In June 2026, the Bend, Oregon City Council passed a Climate Pollution Fee to discourage the use of natural gas in new residential construction. The ordinance is set to take effect in April 2027 and fees apply to certain natural gas appliances in new single-family homes, duplexes, townhomes and accessory dwelling units. It does not apply to manufactured homes, triplexes or larger housing developments, existing buildings, renovations, replacements or commercial construction.

Pipeline
Strategy and challenges
The pipeline segment provides natural gas transportation, underground storage and energy-related services, including cathodic protection, as discussed in Note 14. The segment focuses on utilizing its extensive expertise in the design, construction and operation of energy infrastructure and related services to increase market share and profitability through optimization of existing operations, organic growth and investments in energy-related assets within or in close proximity to its current operating areas. The segment focuses on the continual safety and reliability of its systems, which entails building, operating and maintaining safe natural gas pipelines and facilities. The segment continues to evaluate growth opportunities including the expansion of natural gas facilities; incremental pipeline projects; and expansion of energy-related services leveraging on its core competencies. In support of this strategy, the Minot Expansion Project was placed in service in November 2025 and increased system capacity by 7 MMcf of natural gas per day.
The segment is exposed to natural gas and oil price volatility including fluctuations in basis differentials. Legislative and regulatory initiatives on increased pipeline safety regulations and environmental matters such as the reduction of methane emissions could also impact the price and demand for natural gas.
The pipeline segment is subject to extensive regulation related to certain operational and environmental compliance, cybersecurity, permit terms and system integrity. The Company continues to actively evaluate cybersecurity processes and procedures, including changes in the industry's cybersecurity regulations, for opportunities to further strengthen its cybersecurity protections. Implementation of enhancements and additional requirements is ongoing. The segment reviews and secures existing permits and easements, as well as new permits and easements as necessary, to meet current demand and future growth opportunities on an ongoing basis.
Tariff increases on raw materials could negatively affect the Company's construction projects and maintenance work. The Company continues to monitor the impact tariffs will have on its costs. The Company continues to actively manage the national supply chain challenges by working with its manufacturers and suppliers to help mitigate some of these risks on its business. The segment regularly experiences extended lead times on raw materials that are critical to the segment's construction and maintenance work which could delay maintenance work and construction projects potentially causing lost revenues and/or increased costs. The Company is partially mitigating these challenges by planning for extended lead times further in advance. The Company expects these delays to continue. Inflationary pressures remain volatile, and costs for raw material and contract services also remain high. For additional discussion regarding risks and uncertainties, see Part I, Item 1A. Risk Factors in the 2025 Annual Report.
The segment focuses on the recruitment and retention of a skilled workforce to remain competitive and provide services to its customers. The industry in which it operates relies on a skilled workforce to construct energy infrastructure and operate existing infrastructure in a safe manner. A shortage of skilled personnel can create a competitive labor market which could increase costs incurred by the segment. Competition from other pipeline companies can also have a negative impact on the segment.

Outlook
The Company has continued to experience the effect of associated natural gas production in the Bakken, which has provided opportunities for organic growth projects and increased transportation demand. The completion of organic growth projects has contributed to higher volumes of natural gas the Company transports through its system. Bakken natural gas production is currently at or near record levels and the outlook remains positive with continued growth expected due to increasing gas to oil ratios.
Increases in national and global natural gas supply have moderated pressure on natural gas prices and price volatility. While the Company believes there will continue to be varying pressures on natural gas production levels and prices, the long-term outlook for natural gas prices continues to provide growth opportunities for industrial supply and demand related projects and seasonal pricing differentials provide opportunities for natural gas storage services.
The Company continues to monitor, evaluate and implement additional GHG emissions reduction strategies, including increased monitoring frequency and emission source control technologies to minimize potential risk.
GHG emissions regulations continue to evolve due to congressional actions and agency reconsideration. Methane Waste Emissions Charge regulations finalized in 2024 were eliminated by a resolution of disapproval passed by Congress and signed by the President in March 2025. The OBBBA postponed the Waste Emissions Charge provisions in the Clean Air Act to 2034. The EPA has issued several actions since the Administrator's announcement regarding 31 historic actions to advance the President's "Power the Great American Comeback" agenda, which includes extending deadlines for and reconsidering certain oil and gas new source performance standards as well as a proposal to reconsider the Greenhouse Gas Reporting Program. The Company continues to comply with rules as they remain effective, and to monitor and assess these rulemakings and the potential impacts they may have on its business processes, current and future projects, results of operations and disclosures.
The Company continues to focus on improving existing operations and on growth opportunities through organic expansion projects in all areas in which it operates, which includes additional projects supporting the needs of local distribution companies, Bakken area producers, electric generation customers and industrial customers in various stages of development, including:
•
Line Section 32 Expansion project which will provide natural gas transportation service to a new electric generation facility in northwest North Dakota. The project consists of approximately 20 miles of pipe and ancillary facilities and is designed to increase natural gas transportation capacity by 190 MMcf per day, which is supported by a long-term customer agreement. The Company continues to make progress on required surveys and filed its FERC 7(c) application in March 2026. The project is dependent on regulatory approvals and targeted to be in service in late 2028.
•
Potential Bakken East Pipeline project, which could consist of 350 miles of pipeline construction from western North Dakota to the eastern part of the state, plus additional pipeline laterals. A Binding Open Season concluded in March 2026, with customer requests of approximately 1.4 billion cubic feet per day of natural gas transportation capacity obtained through this process. With recently signed Precedent Agreements, the Company has now executed agreements with all customers that submitted binding open season interest totaling nearly 1.2 billion cubic feet per day of firm natural gas transportation capacity, with a negotiated option in place that may increase contracted volumes to nearly all of the original interest from the Binding Open Season. The Company continues to design the project for 1.4 billion cubic feet per day of transportation capacity. Overall project design is being finalized based on confirmed customer volumes and delivery locations before a final investment decision is made, which is expected ahead of a FERC Section 7(c) application. This application is now anticipated to be filed in the fourth quarter of 2026. Included in the open season results is a firm capacity commitment from the State of North Dakota of up to $50 million annually for 10 years, reinforcing the strategic importance of the project to the region's energy infrastructure and economic development opportunities. As development progresses, the Company continues to evaluate all financing options to support the projected $2.7 billion to $3.2 billion project. This investment would be incremental to the Company's capital investment plan. The Company continues to advance engineering, environmental review and pre-filing activities for the proposed

Index
Bakken East Project and incur preliminary development costs associated with those activities, which are included in other noncurrent assets on the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Company has certain contractual and commercial arrangements in place that are intended to mitigate the Company's financial exposure associated with these investments and will continue to evaluate these amounts and their classification in conjunction with project developments as they occur. Phase One of the proposed project is targeted to be complete in late 2029, with Phase Two targeted to be complete in late 2030.
•
Potential Minot Industrial Pipeline Project, which could consist of an approximately 90-mile pipeline from Tioga, North Dakota to Minot, North Dakota and ancillary facilities. The Company has signed an agreement to support the early stage development of the project which has been extended through late 2026. The project would provide incremental natural gas transportation capacity for anticipated industrial demand.

The changes in cash flows from operating activities generally follow the results of operations, as discussed in Business Segment Financial and Operating Data, and are affected by changes in working capital.
•
Net cash provided by continuing operations was $71.6 million lower, primarily attributable to:
◦
Other current assets $(109.7) million: due to lower collections of purchased gas costs of $43.0 million, carbon compliance costs of $31.7 million, decoupling balances of $8.2 million, all at the natural gas distribution business; as well as lower fuel cost collections at the electric business of $7.1 million.
◦
Receivables $(25.7) million: due to lower collection of accounts receivable due to warmer than normal weather in December 2025.
◦
Other noncurrent changes $(5.0) million: due to increased preliminary project costs incurred in 2026 versus 2025.
◦
Partially offset by:
▪
Deferred income taxes $30.6 million: which resulted from higher plant related deferrals of $14.4 million, purchased gas cost adjustments of $9.8 million, and environmental compliance deductions of $2.2 million.
46
Index
▪
Other current liabilities $20.8 million: due to higher environmental compliance obligations due to customers of $26.2 million, a large load customer deposit of $12.0 million, and higher electric fuel balances owed to customers of $9.5 million; partially offset by lower income taxes paid of $30.6 million.

Capital expenditures
Capital expenditures for the first six months of 2026 and 2025 were $193.8 million and $179.4 million, respectively. Capital expenditures at the Company's business segments are estimated to be approximately $529.2 million for 2026, which is a slight reduction to what was previously reported in the 2025 Annual Report due to the timing of JETx capital expenditures. Capital expenditure estimates have been updated to accommodate project timeline and scope changes made thus far in 2026.
Planned utility investments in the Company's estimated capital expenditures for 2026 through 2028 include system upgrades, substation improvements and generation projects, construction of JETx, system replacements, expansion and modernization projects to meet demand from a growing customer base, including new service extensions and capacity expansion to accommodate economic and population growth across the Company's eight-state territory. The pipeline business will continue to evaluate customer-driven projects, including expansion projects, to serve power generation and industrial demand in the region. In addition, the pipeline will focus on system maintenance and expanding capacity where market conditions support additional investment. Investment in the potential Bakken East Pipeline project would be incremental to the outlined capital program. A number of projects are included in the planned investments as the Company continues to invest in safe, reliable and environmentally-responsible energy delivery infrastructure across its regulated businesses. For more information on the Company's growth projects, see Business Segment Financial and Operating Data.
47
Index
The Company continues to evaluate potential future acquisitions and other growth opportunities that would be incremental to the outlined capital program; however, they are dependent upon the availability of economic opportunities and, as a result, capital expenditures may vary significantly from the estimate previously discussed. The Company continuously monitors its capital expenditures for project delays and changes in economic viability and adjusts as necessary. It is anticipated that all funds required for capital expenditures for the years 2026 through 2028 will be funded by various sources, including equity issuance, debt financing and internally generated funds.
Capital resources
The Company requires significant cash to support and grow its businesses. The primary sources of cash other than cash generated from operating activities are cash from revolving credit facilities, the issuance of long-term debt and the sale of equity securities.
Debt resources
Certain debt instruments of the Company and its subsidiaries contain restrictive and financial covenants and cross-default provisions. In order to borrow under the respective debt instruments, the Company and its subsidiaries must be in compliance with the applicable covenants and certain other conditions. The Company and its subsidiaries were in compliance with applicable covenants at June 30, 2026. In the event the Company and its subsidiaries do not comply with the applicable covenants and other conditions, alternative sources of funding may need to be pursued. As of June 30, 2026, the Company had investment grade credit ratings at all entities issuing debt. For more information on the Company's debt instruments, covenants, certain other conditions and cross-default provisions, see Note 13 and Part II, Item 6 in this document and Part II, Item 8 in the 2025 Annual Report.
Equity offerings
In August 2025, the Company entered into an EDA pursuant to which it may issue, offer, and sell, from time to time, up to an aggregate gross sales price of $400.0 million of shares of its common stock through an ATM offering program, which includes the ability to enter into FSAs. Since the establishment of the ATM offering program, the Company did not enter into any FSAs related to the EDA. As of June 30, 2026, the Company had capacity to issue up to an aggregate gross sales price of $370.0 million in shares of common stock under the ATM offering program.
On December 5, 2025, the Company completed a follow-on public offering of 10.2 million shares of the Company's common stock at a public offering price of $19.70 per share. In addition, on December 23, 2025, the underwriters exercised their option to purchase 1.5 million additional shares of the Company's common stock. Pursuant to the FSAs entered into in connection with the offering, the Company has the discretion to settle the FSAs on one or more settlement dates prior to December 6, 2027, subject to certain price adjustments as set forth in the FSAs as well as adjustments for transaction and other associated fees. The FSAs will be physically settled with shares of common stock issued by the Company, unless the Company elects to settle the FSAs in net cash or net shares, subject to certain conditions. If the Company elects to physically settle the FSAs, the Company will physically issue shares of common stock to the banking counterparties at the then-applicable forward sale price and receive proceeds at that time.
In March 2026, the Company partially settled the FSAs with physical delivery of 4.3 million shares of common stock to the counterparties in exchange for cash of $81.3 million. At June 30, 2026, the Company could have settled all of its outstanding FSAs with physical delivery of 7.4 million shares of common stock to the banking counterparties in exchange for cash of approximately $139.6 million. If the FSAs had been net cash or net share settled at June 30, 2026, the Company estimates that the counterparties, in aggregate, would have been entitled to a net settlement of $16.8 million or 792,557 shares, respectively.
Actual cash proceeds, if any, for settlement of FSAs will depend on the method and timing the Company elects for settlement. Prior to settlement, the potentially issuable shares pursuant to the FSAs were and will be reflected in the Company's diluted earnings per share calculation using the treasury stock method. For more detailed information about the Company's equity transactions, see Note 8.
Material cash requirements
There were no material changes in the Company's remaining contractual obligations related to estimated interest payments, asset retirement obligations and uncertain tax positions for 2026 from those reported in the 2025 Annual Report. For more information on the Company's contractual obligations on long-term debt, operating leases and purchase commitments, see Part II, Item 7 in the 2025 Annual Report.
Material short-term cash requirements of the Company include repayment of outstanding borrowings and interest payments on those agreements, payments on operating lease agreements, payment of obligations on purchase commitments and asset retirement obligations.
Material long-term cash requirements of the Company include repayment of outstanding borrowings and interest payments on those agreements, payments on operating lease agreements, payment of obligations on purchase commitments and asset retirement obligations.

Defined benefit pension plans
The Company has noncontributory qualified defined benefit pension plans for certain employees. Various actuarial assumptions are used in calculating the benefit expense (income) and liability (asset) related to these plans, as such costs of providing these benefits bear the risk of changes as they are dependent upon assumptions of future conditions.
There were no material changes to the Company's noncontributory qualified defined benefit pension plans from those reported in the 2025 Annual Report other than the Company now expects to contribute approximately $3.7 million to its pension plans in 2026. For more information, see Note 15 and Part II, Item 7 in the 2025 Annual Report.
