NIPSCo earnings still below dividend rate

HAMMOND, Ind. — Edmund A. Schroer, chairman and chief executive officer of Northern Indiana Public Service Company, reported July 26 that unaudited figures for the 12 months ended June 30, 1983, indicate that earnings per average common share were essentially flat, decreasing to $1.23 per share from $1.27 (including the cumulative effect on prior periods of an accounting change) during the same 12 month period a year ago. “Earnings continue to be well below the annual dividend rate of $1.50 per share which has not been raised since 1977,” Schroer said. There were nearly eight million additional average common shares outstanding during the 1983 period. Earnings available for common stock were also adversely affected by increased preferred dividend requirements. For the six months ended June 30, 1983, earnings per average common share were SO.BO compared to $1.16 (Including the cumulative effect on prior periods of an accounting change) for the same period a year ago. “While 12 month and six month figures are still disappointing,” Schroer said, “comparisons for the latest three month period en-

ding June 30, 1983, improved substantially. This improvement resulted principally from the gradually strengthening northern Indiana economy and the positive effects of the stringent cost-con-trol measures announced earlier this year. Throughout northern Indiana, industrial activity has firmed, unemployment figures have declined and steel shipments have increased, all pointing to a sustainable business recovery.” Earnings for the second quarter of 1983 increased to $0.35 per share from $0.02 per share for the corresponding period in 1982. The severely depressed 1982 came in the midst of the 1981-82 recession. During the same quarter in 1981, however, earnings were $0.49 per average common share, with fewer shares outstanding. “While we are encouraged by the recent improvement,” Schroer said, “we are still earning substantially below our authorized rate of return. W are optimistic, however, that progress toward a return to financial health has begun. Receiving a ruling on our pending $277 million electric rate case within the next few weeks will allow us to continue this progress,” the utility chairman concluded.
