Executive summary

  • Delivered strong operational and financial performance in Q3 2025, with net income attributable to common shareholders rising to $413.2 million ($3.39 per diluted share), driven by customer growth, increased usage, and industry-leading reliability during record-peak demand and extreme weather events.

  • Arizona's economic momentum is accelerating, supported by population growth, major investments from semiconductor and data center companies, and a robust business climate.

  • Strategic investments in transmission, baseload generation, and infrastructure are underway to support robust customer and sales growth.

  • Maintained a focus on cost control, customer affordability, and operational reliability, with a lean culture and flat core O&M despite a growing customer base.

excellent app, it gives me free access to company earnings calls and annual reports. I also love the convenience of calls being available offline so I can listen in whilst doing other things and even when internet or WiFi isn't available.

One of the very few apps you could call perfect. If something was to add to it, maybe the share price of the company when you search for it, but it's already excellent.
