Emera Inc. has filed its comprehensive annual report, detailing strong financial performance for 2025, including record adjusted EPS and a significant increase in net income. The company has extended its adjusted EPS growth target through 2030 and increased its annual common share dividend. A substantial $20 billion capital investment plan for 2026-2030, primarily focused on its Florida utilities, underpins future growth. Multiple positive regulatory outcomes, including approved rate increases for its Florida electric and gas utilities and proposed increases for its Canadian electric utility, provide revenue stability.

A non-cash impairment charge related to the pending sale of NMGC was recognized, but this is part of a strategic disposition.
