Based on the documents, the explanation for the negative Operating Revenue in Q4 2023 isn’t explicitly provided. One document reports a negative figure of **(1,286.00)** million USD for Q4 2023  **[0000950170-24-019110_d-20231231.htm:142]** , but it does not detail the specific factors leading to this result. Another document mentions that various factors, such as weather conditions, regulatory changes, and operational adjustments, can influence revenue but does not confirm any particular reason for the negative figure.  **[20240502PH03264:2]** 

Why is Operating Revenue negative in Q4 2023?

In Q4 2023, the negative net income was primarily driven by several factors. **A $323 million after-tax impairment charge** related to the impairment of certain goodwill stood out as a major factor, alongside a **decline in operating earnings by $385 million** compared to Q4 2022. Additionally, the quarter faced adverse impacts from **worse-than-normal weather (−$0.02 per share)**, an **accounting methodology change for investment tax credits (−$0.02 per share)**, and **Millstone outages (−$0.03 per share)**, all of which compounded the negative results.  **[0000950170-24-019110_d-20231231.htm:293]** **[0000950170-24-018433_d-ex99.htm:5]** **[D_3374575_6]** **[0000950170-24-019110_d-20231231.htm:149]** 

What drove Net Income into negative territory in Q4 2023?

There is conflicting information in the documents. One source reports FY 2023 Operating Revenue as **9,573 million USD** compared to **17,174 million USD** in FY 2022, which implies a sharp drop.  **[0000950170-23-003287_d-20221231.htm:124]** **[0000950170-24-019110_d-20231231.htm:142]**  However, another source explains that Dominion Energy’s operating revenue actually **increased by 455 million USD** (from **13,938 million USD** in FY 2022 to **14,393 million USD** in FY 2023) and attributes this change to both positive and negative factors.  **[0000950170-24-019110_d-20231231.htm:103]**  The factors that would have negatively affected revenue, according to the explanation, include:  

- **Legislative changes in Virginia** leading to a **206 million USD decrease**  
- **Weather-related declines** causing a **167 million USD decrease**  
- **Market-based rates and settlements** resulting in an **86 million USD net decrease**  
- **Lower PJM off‐system sales** decreasing revenue by **27 million USD**  
- **Absence of privatization operations** contributing a **19 million USD decrease**  **[0000950170-24-019110_d-20231231.htm:103]** 

Thus, while one document links a set of downward adjustments to the FY 2023 results, its net impact in that explanation was an increase. The documents do not provide a definitive reconciliation of these numbers or a clear explanation for a sharp drop overall.

What factors contributed to the sharp drop in FY 2023 Operating Revenue?

There is conflicting information regarding Q4 2023. One document shows Income from operations of **(242.00) million USD** for Q4 2023, indicating a significant decline from Q3 2023’s **549.00 million USD**, while another explanation states that Q4 2023 resulted in **504 million USD** (an increase from Q4 2022’s **447 million USD**), with the change attributed mostly to factors such as the non‐recurrence of a **633 million USD impairment charge** in Q4 2022, improved operational performance, and an accounting methodology change.  **[0000950170-24-019110_d-20231231.htm:142]** **[0000950170-24-019110_d-20231231.htm:294]**  Without further clarification, it is not possible to definitively explain the drastic decline in Q4 2023 based on the available documents.

Why did Income from operations decline drastically in Q4 2023?

The documents do not provide a definitive explanation for the near-zero depreciation and amortization reported in Q4 2023. One document lists the Q4 2023 figure as **(13.00)** USD millions  **[0000950170-24-019110_d-20231231.htm:142]** , while another notes a significant change for Dominion Energy—reporting **$684 million** in Q4 2023 compared to **$610 million** in Q4 2022—but does not detail specific causes for these changes.  **[0000950170-24-018433_d-ex99.htm:4]**  Generally, such variations can result from factors like shifts in capital investments or adjustments in asset life estimates, but the documents do not explicitly link these factors to the near-zero figure.

What explains the near-zero Depreciation and Amortization in Q4 2023?

In Q1 2024, the low cash balance of **$265 million** resulted mainly from strategic transactions and changes in cash classifications. Dominion Energy used cash for significant **debt reduction initiatives**—achieving **53% of its targeted $21 billion reduction** through asset sales including the East Ohio Gas Company—which, despite generating modest interest savings, reduced available cash. In addition, a notable change in **restricted cash** (dropping from **$188 million** at December 31, 2023, to **$67 million** by March 31, 2024) further impacted the overall cash position.  **[0000950170-24-051708_d-20240331.htm:9]** **[0000950170-24-089020_d-20240630.htm:18]** **[D_3382140_1]** 

Why was cash so low in Q1 2024?

The significant cash surge in Q3 2024 was primarily driven by several factors. **First**, the cash and cash equivalents increased substantially—from **$184 million** at the end of December 2023 to **$1,776 million** in Q3 2024.  **[0000950170-24-119871_d-20240930.htm:9]**  **Second**, the company generated **$182 million** in net income from discontinued operations, largely due to the sale of gas distribution operations, which contributed to this rise.  **[0000950170-24-119871_d-20240930.htm:7]**  **Third**, strong operating performance, evidenced by an operating income of **$2,856 million** for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, further supported the cash increase.  **[0000950170-24-119871_d-20240930.htm:7]**  **Finally**, a reduction in restricted cash—from **$188 million** to **$126 million**—helped free up additional funds for general use.  **[0000950170-24-119871_d-20240930.htm:19]** 

What caused the cash surge in Q3 2024?

The decline in total assets in Q3 2024 was driven primarily by a **reduction in current assets** and **debt reduction initiatives**. Specifically, current assets decreased significantly—from **$25,387 million** at the end of 2023 to **$7,991 million**—mainly due to the completion of asset sales, including a dramatic drop in current assets held for sale (from **$18,529 million** to **$26 million**). Additionally, the company executed around **$21 billion in debt reduction** by selling assets, which further decreased the reported asset base.  **[0000950170-24-119871_d-20240930.htm:9]** **[D_3405480_1]** 

Why did total assets decline in Q3 2024?

Based on the documents, **Q3 2024 did not see an increase but rather a significant decrease** in long-term debt—from **$42,526 million** at the end of 2023 to **$34,555 million** as of September 30, 2024.  **[0000950170-24-119871_d-20240930.htm:38]**  The change resulted from several strategic actions, including **debt reduction initiatives** (such as the sale of major assets, e.g., the Public Service Company of North Carolina and a 50% noncontrolling interest in the CVOW Commercial Project)  **[D_3405480_1]** , **repayments and redemptions** amounting to **$1,642 million** during the period (including repayments of secured senior and hybrid notes)  **[0000950170-24-119871_d-20240930.htm:108]** , and the **use of proceeds from new issuances** (where part of the **$5,782 million** raised was used to repay existing debt, including repaying a **$450 million Sustainability Revolving Credit Facility**).  **[0000950170-24-119871_d-20240930.htm:107]** **[0000950170-24-119871_d-20240930.htm:69]**
