The Company faces no significant direct competition from other natural gas distributors for residential and commercial customers within its service areas but competes with alternative fuels, particularly electricity, and other natural gas suppliers for industrial customers. Natural gas has historically maintained a price advantage in these markets. The pipeline and storage segment, including Atmos Pipeline-Texas, is one of the largest intrastate pipeline operations in Texas, though it faces increasing competition from new pipelines.
Recent Strategic Developments: Atmos Energy Corporation's vision is to be the safest provider of natural gas services, recognized for exceptional customer service, being a great employer, and achieving superior financial results. The operating strategy focuses on modernizing business and infrastructure while reducing regulatory lag, supporting continued investment in safety, innovation, environmental sustainability, and communities. The Company anticipates significant capital expenditures of approximately $26 billion between fiscal years 2026 and 2030, with over 80% dedicated to safety and reliability. Ratemaking efforts have resulted in formula rate mechanisms in four states and infrastructure programs in all states, allowing recovery of approximately 95% of capital expenditures within six months and substantially all within twelve months. Weather Normalization Adjustment (WNA) mechanisms in seven states mitigate weather effects on approximately 97% of distribution residential and commercial revenues, and the Company can recover the gas cost portion of bad debts in six states, covering about 89% of residential and commercial revenues. Texas legislation related to infrastructure spending favorably impacted fiscal 2025 results by $26.2 million.
