TORONTO, May 11, 2017 /CNW/ - Toronto Hydro Corporation ("the Corporation") today announced its first quarter ended March 31, 2017 consolidated financial and operating results.

For the three months ended March 31, 2017:

  • Distribution revenue was $178.2 million
  • Net income after net movements in regulatory balances was $39.6 million
  • Capital expenditures were $134.3 million

The decrease in net income after net movements in regulatory balances over the previous year was primarily due to increased depreciation and amortization, finance costs, and income tax expenses, increased amounts being deferred into capital related regulatory accounts for future refunds to customers, and lower consumption due to warm winter weather. These variances were partially offset by higher 2017 electricity distribution rates. 

QUOTE
"Toronto Hydro had a strong beginning to the year, while continuing to invest in distribution infrastructure that is helping to improve reliability for our customers, keep pace with our growing city and safeguard against severe weather events."
-       Anthony Haines, President and CEO, Toronto Hydro
