Second Quarter 2021 Results

For the three-month period ended June 30, 2021, SJI reported consolidated GAAP earnings of $(96.7) million compared to $(2.6) million in the prior year period. SJI uses the non-GAAP measure of economic earnings when discussing results. We believe this presentation provides clarity into the continuing earnings of our business. A full explanation and reconciliation of economic earnings is provided under "Explanation and Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures" later in this report and in our 10-K for the year ending December 31, 2020. For the three-month period ended June 30, 2021, economic earnings were $2.0 million compared to $(0.9) million in the prior year period.

UTILITY

Utility entities include South Jersey Gas (SJG) and Elizabethtown Gas (ETG) operations. Second quarter 2021 GAAP/economic earnings were $3.3 million compared with $3.0 million in 2020.

South Jersey Gas

Performance. Second quarter 2021 GAAP/economic earnings were $6.3 million compared with $3.7 million in 2020. Utility margin increased $10.1 million, reflecting rate relief effective October 1, 2020, customer growth and the roll-in of investments from infrastructure replacement programs. We define utility margin, a non-GAAP measure, as natural gas revenues plus depreciation and amortization expenses, less natural gas costs, regulatory rider expenses and related volumetric and revenue-based energy taxes. Total expenses increased $7.5 million, primarily reflecting higher interest and depreciation expenses.

Customer Growth. SJG added approximately 7,300 new customers over the last 12 months and now serves approximately 408,000 customers. SJG's 1.5% customer growth rate compares favorably to the peer average and remains driven by gas conversions from alternate fuels such as oil and propane, and new construction.

Infrastructure Modernization. Through infrastructure replacement programs, SJG enhances the safety and reliability of our system while earning our authorized utility return on approved investments in a timely manner.

SJG's Accelerated Infrastructure Replacement Program (AIRP) authorizes investment of $302.5 million from 2016-2021 for important infrastructure replacement upgrades. Our annual investment of approximately $60 million from July 2020 to June 2021 is expected to be rolled into rates on October 1, 2021. SJG's Storm Hardening and Reliability Program (SHARP) authorizes investment of $100 million from 2018-2021 for four projects to enhance the safety, redundancy and resiliency of the distribution system along our coastal communities. Our annual investment of approximately $30 million from July 2020 to June 2021 is expected to be rolled into rates on October 1, 2021.
In November 2020, SJG filed a request with the NJBPU for approval of an Infrastructure Investment Program (IIP) that would accelerate planned capital expenditures to enhance the delivery of safe, reliable, affordable natural gas, create jobs, and support the State's environmental goals. Under the proposed five-year program, beginning in June 2021, SJG will invest approximately $742.5 million to replace 825 miles of aging steel mains and install excess flow valves on new service lines. These enhancements ensure the continued safety and reliability of SJG's system. Settlement discussions are progressing toward a final resolution.

Energy Efficiency. Through energy efficiency programs, SJG advances New Jersey's clean energy goals in a manner that will benefit customers, the environment and the State's green economy while recovering our investments in a timely manner. SJG's energy efficiency program, as approved by the BPU in April 2021, authorizes investment of $133.2 million from July 1, 2021 to June 30, 2024. Our anticipated annual investment of approximately $45 million from July 2021 to June 2022 is expected to be recovered beginning in October 2022.

Redundancy. SJG has submitted an engineering and route proposal to the BPU for approval to construct needed system upgrades in support of a planned 2.0+ Bcf liquefied natural gas (LNG) facility. Discussions with the BPU surrounding this important project continue to progress, with resolution expected before year end. We also continue to explore system alternatives that will allow for a secondary supply of gas needed to create reliability and resiliency for approximately 140,000 customers in Atlantic and Cape May counties.

Elizabethtown Gas

Performance. Second quarter 2021 GAAP/economic earnings were $(3.0) million compared with $(0.8) million in 2020. Utility margin, as previously defined, remained consistent compared to the year ago period, primarily reflecting customer growth and the roll-in of investments from infrastructure replacement programs that was offset by true-ups for sales tax and regulatory programs. Total expenses increased $2.2 million, primarily reflecting higher operating and depreciation expenses.

Customer Growth. ETG added approximately 4,100 new customers over the last 12 months and now serves approximately 303,000 customers. ETG's 1.3% customer growth rate has increased from its historic 0.9% rate, driven by increases in gas conversions from alternate fuels such as oil and propane, and new construction.

Infrastructure Modernization. ETG's Infrastructure Investment Plan (IIP) authorizes investment of $300 million from 2019-2024 for important infrastructure upgrades including the replacement of up to 250 miles of cast iron and bare steel mains. Our annual investment of approximately $60 million from July 2020 to June 2021 is expected to be rolled into rates on October 1, 2021.

Energy Efficiency. ETG's energy efficiency program, as approved by the BPU in April 2021, authorizes investment of $74.0 million from July 1, 2021 to June 30, 2024. Our anticipated annual investment of approximately $25 million from July 2021 to June 2022 is expected to be recovered beginning in October 2022.

NON-UTILITY

Non-utility entities include Energy Management, Energy Production and Midstream. Second quarter 2021 GAAP earnings were $(90.7) million compared with $3.9 million in 2020. Second quarter 2021 economic earnings were $8.1 million compared with $5.0 million in 2020.

Energy Management

Performance. Energy Management includes Wholesale Services (Fuel Management/Marketing) and Retail Services (Account Services/Energy Consulting). Second quarter 2021 GAAP earnings were $(4.1) million compared with $5.4 million in 2020. Second quarter 2021 economic earnings were $7.0 million compared with $6.3 million in 2020.

Wholesale Services/Other second quarter 2021 GAAP earnings were $(4.7) million compared with $4.8 million in 2020. Second quarter 2021 economic earnings were $6.3 million compared with $5.8 million in 2020, primarily reflecting improved asset optimization opportunities, as well as fuel management contracts that became operational over the last 12 months.
Retail Services second quarter 2021 GAAP earnings were $0.6 million compared with $0.6 million in 2020. Second quarter 2021 economic earnings were $0.7 million compared with $0.5 million in 2020, reflecting meter reading and appliance service contract fees, as well as contributions from Energy Consulting activities.

Energy Production

Performance. Energy Production primarily includes renewable (fuel cell/solar) and decarbonization (REV/RNG development) investments. Second quarter 2021 GAAP earnings were $(0.4) million compared with $(2.4) million in 2020. Second quarter 2021 economic earnings were $(0.2) million compared with $(2.2) million in 2020.

Renewables second quarter 2021 GAAP earnings were $(0.2) million compared with $(2.4) million in 2020. Second quarter 2021 economic earnings were $0.1 million compared with $(2.2) million in 2020, reflecting income associated with fuel cell and solar investments over the last twelve months, and landfill activities.
In June, Catamaran Renewables, a JV between SJI subsidiary Marina Energy and renewable industry leader Captona, announced the acquisition of a 5.0 MW fuel cell project in Bronx, New York ("Bronx Midco"). Similar to the two fuel cells in Staten Island brought online in 2020, this investment qualifies under New York's Value of Distributed Energy Resources (VDER) program. With roughly 75% of fuel cell revenues fixed under VDER and an anticipated 95% availability rate, these projects produce steady, low-risk cash flows and unlevered returns in line with our hurdle rate for non-utility investments. Marina will own 92% of the project and accordingly, receive 92% of the ITC, cash flows and net income associated with the project. The project is supported by long-term off-take agreements with two creditworthy anchor customers. This project will support a substantial portion of SJI's 2021 ITC goals.
In December 2020, SJI acquired a minority interest in REV LNG, LLC (REV), along with the rights to develop anaerobic digesters at a portfolio of dairy farms to produce renewable natural gas. Decarbonization second quarter 2021 GAAP/economic earnings were $(0.2) million, reflecting contributions from SJI's minority interest in REV offset by initial operating costs. RNG development at 8 diary farms is proceeding on track, with in-service anticipated in 2022.

Midstream

Performance. Midstream includes SJI's 20% equity interest in the PennEast Pipeline. Second quarter 2021 GAAP earnings were $(86.1) million compared with $0.9 million in 2020. Second quarter 2021 economic earnings were $1.2 million compared with $0.9 million in 2020, reflecting Allowance for Funds Used During Construction related to the project.

Update. Work continues with state and federal agencies to obtain the required permits to begin construction of the PennEast Pipeline. Despite the favorable outcome from the Supreme Court, PennEast continues to experience regulatory and legal challenges resulting in continued delays preventing the commencement of construction and commercial operation of the project. As a result, the Company evaluated its investment in PennEast and recorded an other-than-temporary impairment charge of $87.4 million in the condensed consolidated statements of income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021. This action does not change our belief that PennEast is an important and needed project to serve constrained markets in the region, and that it should be built. Natural gas continues to play a critical role in meeting the energy needs of the United States, and the northeast in particular, and will be critical to ensure that energy remains affordable and reliable as we transition our supplies to lower-carbon sources.

OTHER

Performance. Other entity includes interest on debt, including debt associated with past acquisitions. Second quarter 2021 GAAP earnings were $(9.3) million compared with $(9.5) million in 2020. Second quarter 2021 economic earnings were $(9.3) million compared with $(8.8) million in 2020, reflecting an increase in outstanding debt partially offset by debt repayments and refinancing.

Forward-looking statements are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied in the forward-looking statements. These risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, general economic conditions on an international, national, state and local level; weather conditions in SJI's marketing areas; changes in commodity costs; changes in the availability of natural gas; "non-routine" or "extraordinary" disruptions in SJI's distribution system; cybersecurity incidents and related disruptions; regulatory, legislative and court decisions; competition; the availability and cost of capital; costs and effects of legal proceedings and environmental liabilities; the failure of customers, suppliers or business partners to fulfill their contractual obligations; changes in business strategies; and public health crises and epidemics or pandemics, such as a novel coronavirus (COVID-19).

Explanation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Management uses the non-GAAP financial measures of Economic Earnings and Economic Earnings per share when evaluating its results of operations. These non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered as an alternative to GAAP measures, such as net income, operating income, earnings per share from continuing operations or any other GAAP measure of financial performance. We define Economic Earnings as: Income from Continuing Operations, (i) less the change in unrealized gains and plus the change in unrealized losses on non-utility derivative transactions; (ii) less income and plus losses attributable to noncontrolling interest; and (iii) less the impact of transactions, contractual arrangements or other events where management believes period to period comparisons of SJI's operations could be difficult or potentially confusing. With respect to part (iii) of the definition of Economic Earnings, items excluded from Economic Earnings for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, are described in (A)-(E) in the table below. Economic Earnings is a significant financial measure used by our management to indicate the amount and timing of income from continuing operations that we expect to earn after taking into account the impact of derivative instruments on the related transactions, as well as the impact of contractual arrangements and other events that management believes make period to period comparisons of SJI's operations difficult or potentially confusing. Management uses Economic Earnings to manage its business and to determine such items as incentive/compensation arrangements and allocation of resources. Specifically regarding derivatives, we believe that this financial measure indicates to investors the profitability of the entire derivative-related transaction and not just the portion that is subject to mark-to-market valuation under GAAP. We believe that considering only the change in market value on the derivative side of the transaction can produce a false sense as to the ultimate profitability of the total transaction as no change in value is reflected for the non-derivative portion of the transaction.
