Unitil expanded its utility operations by adding two new natural gas distribution subsidiaries in Maine, growing its customer base from approximately 198,600 to 215,100 customers.

The company has executed a strategic expansion into Maine's natural gas market through the addition of Bangor Natural Gas Company and Maine Natural Gas Corporation, adding roughly 15,400 new natural gas customers. This geographic diversification strengthens Unitil's regulated utility footprint and provides additional rate base for earnings growth.

FINANCIAL ANALYSIS

Unitil's balance sheet reflects meaningful growth with total assets expanding 18.9% to $2.1 billion and stockholders' equity rising proportionally to $609.6 million, indicating the company maintained its capital structure during expansion. However, current liabilities increased substantially to $425.8 million, likely reflecting financing needs for the business expansion and higher seasonal working capital requirements. Operating income grew modestly to $101.2 million, suggesting the new operations are contributing positively to earnings while the company integrates the acquired assets.
