Delivering results
No
In FY21, we remained resilient, answering challenges while continuing to drive value, resulting in a net economic earnings per share of $4.86. This increased value was driven largely by non-recurring benefits from Spire Marketing due to Winter Storm Uri.
Increasing capital spend
We invested a total of $625 million dollars in FY21, with over half of our utility investment for infrastructure upgrades. Through that program, we replaced 291 miles of pipeline, further driving sustainability in support of our midcentury carbon neutrality commitment.
Raising our dividend
Having confidence in our long-term growth strategy, Spire's Board of Directors approved a 5.4% increase to the common stock dividend, making it the 19th consecutive year of increases.
