(firmenpresse) - CALGARY, ALBERTA -- (Marketwired) -- 03/03/17 -- Canadian Utilities Limited (TSX: CU, CU.X) -
Canadian Utilities Limited today announced record adjusted earnings for 2016 of $590 million compared to $483 million in 2015. Canadian Utilities had fourth quarter 2016 adjusted earnings of $166 million compared to $153 million in 2015.
Higher adjusted earnings in 2016 were mainly due to continued capital investment and growth in the Regulated Utilities and business-wide cost reduction initiatives. In late 2015, Canadian Utilities initiated an organizational transformation to streamline and gain operational efficiencies that created tangible benefits in 2016.
"Throughout 2016, we were relentless in challenging the status quo to generate sustainable growth for our share owners and creating premier solutions for our customers around the world," said Nancy Southern, Chair & Chief Executive Officer, Canadian Utilities. "This year''s achievements are a reflection of the transformation initiatives, the efforts of our people and our unwavering commitment to operational excellence that has long been a hallmark of our company."
Canadian Utilities invested $1.4 billion in capital growth projects in 2016 of which 91 per cent was invested in assets that earn a return under a regulatory business model or are secured under long-term contracts.
In the 2017 to 2019 period, Canadian Utilities expects to invest an additional $5 billion in Regulated Utility and commercially secured capital growth projects. This capital investment is expected to contribute significant earnings and cash flow and create long-term value for share owners.
