Corning Natural Gas Holding Corporation Reports Quarterly Earnings
CORNING, N.Y., Feb. 11, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Corning Natural Gas Holding Corporation (OTCQX: CNIG) announced consolidated earnings of $403,222 or $0.13 per share for its first quarter ended December 31, 2021. This compares to consolidated earnings of $122,108 or $0.04 per share for its first quarter ended December 31, 2020. CFO Chuck Lenns stated, “The company saw earnings increase principally due to both electric and gas rate increases at Pike County Light & Power that were partially offset by high merger transaction costs.”
Net income for the three months ended December 31, 2021 is not necessarily indicative of expected results for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2022. Quarterly earnings are affected by the highly seasonal nature of the business and weather conditions such as temperature variations. The revenue and earnings increase in the quarter was the result of rate increases at Pike and Corning.
