Consolidated Edison, Inc. Reports Second Quarter Income
|
NEW YORK, July 20 /PRNewswire/ -- Consolidated Edison, Inc. (NYSE: ED) today reported net income for common stock for the second quarter of 2000 of $68.7 million or $.33 a share, compared with $66.4 million or $.30 a share for the second quarter of 1999. The company also declared a dividend of 54-1/2 cents a share on its common stock payable September 15, 2000 to stockholders of record as of August 16, 2000. The company's net income for common stock for the first six months of 2000 was $256.9 million or $1.21 a share, compared with $243.0 million or $1.06 a share for the first six months of 1999. The company reported net income for common stock for the 12 months ended June 30, 2000 of $714.5 million or $3.32 a share, compared with $721.9 million or $3.13 a share for the 12 months ended June 30, 1999. The company's earnings for the second quarter of 2000 were favorably impacted by higher electric sales growth, reflecting the strong local economy. Results for the quarter also reflect the impact of the company's previously announced $1.3 billion common stock repurchase program. Through June 30, 2000, the company had repurchased 23.2 million shares for $1.0 billion. Earnings for the six and 12-month periods reflect the same factors. Con Edison's electric and firm gas sales and transportation volumes in the first six months of 2000 reflect the July 1999 acquisition of Orange and Rockland Utilities, and increases in Con Edison of New York's electric and firm gas sales and transportation of 4.5 percent and 4.2 percent, respectively, compared to the first six months of 1999.
