• Our Plastics segment manufactures PVC pipe for use in, among other applications, municipal and rural water, wastewater, and water reclamation projects.
• Other Income (Expense), net increased $1.6 million primarily due to higher allowance for funds used during construction (AFUDC) in our Electric segment, reflecting continued investment in our Abercrombie and Solway solar projects.
• Operating and Maintenance expenses increased $9.0 million primarily due to higher labor costs, driven by a lower level of labor capitalization resulting from the timing of construction project activity, increased vegetative management expenses, plant outage-related costs, and an increase in insurance costs.
