Executive Summary

The Southern Company delivered a cash-generative quarter with meaningful top-line growth in QQ1 2025. Reported revenue of USD 7.775 billion rose 16.99% year over year and 22.61% quarter over quarter, driven by a favorable mix of regulated earnings and higher energy prices within its utility segments. Gross profit reached USD 3.741 billion, yielding a gross margin of 48.12%, while operating income climbed to USD 2.01 billion and net income to USD 1.334 billion, producing EPS of USD 1.21. The improvements in EBITDA (USD 3.675 billion) and margins reflect a combination of rate-based earnings and ongoing efficiency in core utility operations, though the quarter also reflects the high cost of capital that accompanies large-scale grid modernization and asset development.
