Con Edison Declares Common Stock Dividend
January 17 2019 - 4:37PM
Consolidated Edison, Inc. (Con Edison) (NYSE: ED) declared a
quarterly dividend of 74 cents a share on its common stock, payable
March 15, 2019 to stockholders of record as of February 13, 2019,
an annualized increase of 10 cents over the previous annualized
dividend of $2.86 a share.
“The increase in the dividend, the 45th consecutive annual
increase for stockholders, reflects our continued emphasis on
providing a return to our investors while meeting the needs of our
customers,” said Robert Hoglund, Con Edison’s senior vice president
and chief financial officer. The increase continues the longest
period of consecutive annual dividend increases of any utility in
the S&P 500 index. For 2019, the company expects to exceed its
previously provided payout range of 60% to 70% of adjusted earnings
as a result of non-cash earnings impact from its Sempra Solar
acquisition.
This press release contains a forward-looking statement that
reflects an expectation and not a fact. Actual results may differ
materially from this expectation because of factors such as those
identified in reports the company has filed with the Securities and
Exchange Commission. Con Edison assumes no obligation to update
forward-looking statements. This press release also refers to a
financial measure, adjusted earnings, that is not determined in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the
United States of America (GAAP). This non-GAAP financial measure
should not be considered as an alternative to net income (which is
an indicator of financial performance determined in accordance with
GAAP) and may exclude from net income amounts that the company does
not consider indicative of its ongoing financial performance.
