Orange, CT – February 21, 2023 - Today AVANGRID, Inc. (NYSE: AGR), a leading sustainable energy company, and a member of the group of companies controlled by IBERDROLA, S.A., reported consolidated U.S. GAAP net income of $881 million, or $2.28 per share, compared to $707 million, or $1.97 per share, for the full year 2021. For the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2022, consolidated net income was $147 million, or $0.38 per share, compared to $164 million, or $0.42 per share, for the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2021. 

"Our excellent results for 2022 demonstrate our commitment to execution and to the successful implementation of our long-term outlook," said Pedro Azagra, chief executive officer of AVANGRID. “We managed through the challenges in the macro-economic environment, with sharp increases in inflation and interest rates and continued supply chain disruptions, while maintaining focus on operational excellence, improving customer experience, and achieving our strategic growth objectives.”  

On a non-U.S. GAAP adjusted basis, consolidated net income for the full year 2022 was $901 million, or $2.33 per share, compared to $780 million, or $2.18 per share, for the full year ended 2021. For the fourth quarter 2022, non-U.S. GAAP adjusted net income was $152 million, or $0.39 per share, compared to $171 million, or $0.44 per share, for the fourth quarter 2021.

Weighted average shares outstanding for the fourth quarter and full year of 2022 were 386.7 million, compared to 387.2 million and 358.1 million during the same periods in 2021, respectively.

Networks 
Networks earnings for the full year and fourth quarter 2022 were $628 million, or $1.62 per share, and $158 million, or $0.41 per share, compared to $636 million, or $1.78 per share, and $193 million, or $0.50 per share, for the same periods in 2021, respectively. Networks results for the full year and fourth quarter mainly benefited from the execution of rate plans in New York and Maine, which were more than offset by increased depreciation expense, business expenses and finance costs. 

Renewables
Renewables earnings for the full year and fourth quarter 2022 were $386 million, or $1.00 per share, and $76 million, or $0.20 per share, compared to $131 million, or $0.37 per share, and a loss of $14 million, or $0.04 per share, for the same periods in 2021, respectively. Renewables results for the full year improved mainly due to the gain from the restructuring of the Company’s New England offshore wind lease partnership agreement, improved pricing and production, tax credits, thermal and asset management and lower taxes, which were partially offset by business expenses, and the absence of the 2021 benefit from Storm Uri in ERCOT. Results for the quarter mainly benefited from improved pricing, production tax credits and lower taxes.

Outlook
AVANGRID's consolidated U.S. GAAP and non-U.S. GAAP adjusted earnings outlook for 2023 are projected to be in the range of $1.90-$2.10 per share and $2.20-$2.35 per share, respectively. This outlook assumes the PNM Resources merger closes by mid-year 2023, the NECEC transmission project resumes construction in mid-2023, a partial sale of the Kitty Hawk offshore wind lease and potential partnership structures in onshore projects.
