| Metric | Latest | YoYYoY means Year-over-Year. It compares the latest annual value with the previous annual value to show long-term trend strength. | QoQQoQ means Quarter-over-Quarter. It compares the latest quarter with the immediately previous quarter to show short-term momentum changes. |
|---|---|---|---|
| RevenueThe total money that came through the front door from selling things, before paying a single bill. Think of it as the grand total of every credit card swipe from customers. (YoY compares this year to last year's performance, while QoQ compares the current three months to the previous three). | $930.0M | +18.1% | -42.8% |
| Net IncomeThe absolute bottom line. If the company paid every single supplier, employee, banker, and tax collector, this is the actual money left in their pocket at the end of the day. | $140.3M | +18.3% | -57.2% |
| Gross MarginThe basic markup. If they sell a $100 pair of sneakers, this percentage tells you how much of that price tag is profit right after paying for the rubber and shoelaces, but before paying for things like store rent or TV commercials. | +31.6% | -25.6% | +222.9% |
| Operating MarginThe 'day job' efficiency score. Out of every dollar a customer spends, this shows how many cents the company keeps after making the product AND paying for all the everyday corporate overhead (like salaries, marketing, and keeping the lights on). | +27.7% | -4.4% | -6.9% |
| Net MarginThe final take-home percentage. When you strip away every conceivable cost, tax, and interest payment, this is the exact number of cents the company truly gets to keep from every dollar in sales. | +15.1% | +0.1% | -25.1% |
| Free Cash FlowThe holy grail of corporate cash. It's the spendable, physical money left over after the business pays for its daily operations AND buys the big, expensive upgrades (like new factories or servers) it needs to survive. This is the 'free' money they can use to pay dividends or buy back stock. | $-214.9M | -85.4% | -23.0% |
| FCF MarginThe ultimate cash conversion rate. It shows how good the company is at turning regular sales directly into cold, hard, spendable cash. A high percentage means the business is an absolute cash-printing machine. | -23.1% | -56.9% | -115.2% |
| Debt / EquityThe financial risk gauge. It compares how much of the company's empire was built using borrowed money (loans) versus the owners' own money (shareholders). A high number means they are heavily leveraged and playing a riskier game; a low number means they are playing it safe. | 102.5% | -4.6% | +0.3% |
| Current RatioThe 12-month survival check. It simply compares the cash they have right now (plus things they can quickly turn into cash) against the immediate bills they absolutely must pay this year. A score above 1 means they have enough in the wallet to cover the upcoming bills without panicking. | 0.45x | -8.2% | -26.8% |
| Total AssetsThe absolute size of the company's empire. It bundles together absolutely everything of value they own—from the cash in the register and the inventory in the warehouse, to the software patents in the vault and the factories on the ground. | $4.0B | +13.0% | +1.9% |
| Metric | Annual (A vs E) | Annual Surprise | Quarter (A vs E) | Quarter Surprise |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| EPS Surprise | 5.97 vs 6.02 | -0.8% | 1.05 vs 0.94 | +11.8% |

Operator: Welcome to Chesapeake Utilities Corporation's Second Quarter 2026 Earnings Conference Call. [Operator Instructions] I would now like to turn the call over to Lucia Dempsey, Head of Investor Relations. Please go ahead. Lucia Dempsey: Thank you, and good morning, everyone. Today's presentation can be accessed on our website under the Investors page and Events and Presentations subsection. After our prepared remarks, we will open up the call for questions. On Slide 2, we show our typical disclaimers, while I remind you that matters discussed on this conference call may include forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Forward-looking statements and projections could differ materially from our actual results. The safe harbor for forward-looking statements section of our 2025 annual report on Form 10-K and in our second quarter Form 10-Q provide further information on the factors that could cause such statements to differ from our actual results. Additionally, the company evaluates its performance based on certain non-GAAP measures, including adjusted gross margin, adjusted net income and adjusted earnings per share, and the information presented today includes the appropriate disclosures in accordance with the SEC's Regulation G. A reconciliation of these non-GAAP measures to the related GAAP measures have been provided in the appendix of this presentation in our earnings release and our second quarter Form 10-Q. Here at Chesapeake Utilities, safety is our first priority. We start all meetings with a safety moment, and we'll do so here as highlighted on Slide 3. Given the impact that wildfires have caused across the country lately, today's safety moment focuses on wildfire smoke. Wildfire smoke contains fine particles and harmful gases that can irritate the eyes and lungs, worsen asthma or heart conditions and reduce air quality even far from the fire itself. When smoke levels are elevated, limit time outdoors, keep windows and doors closed and use air conditioning or air purifiers as available. I'll now introduce our presenters today. Jeffry Householder, Chair of the Board, President and Chief Executive Officer, will provide an update on this quarter's key accomplishments and our capital growth program. James Moriarty, Executive Vice President, General Counsel, Corporate Secretary and Chief Policy and Risk Officer, will discuss the Florida City Gas rate case and stakeholder engagement. And then Jeffrey Sylvester, Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, will discuss our financial results in more detail. With that, it's my pleasure to turn the call over to Jeff Householder. Jeffrey Householder: Thank you, Lucia, and good morning, everybody. I'll start with Slide 5. Our growth trajectory has continued through the second quarter as we reported a 5% increase in adjusted net income, driving an 8% increase in adjusted earnings per share through the first six months of this year. In the second quarter, we …
