Financials and synergies drive higher growth

NextEra expects the deal to be EPS accretive from day one and guides for EPS CAGR above

9% through 2032 off 2025 adjusted EPS. Further, the company extends this growth target

(EPS CAGR above c9%) to 2035, which is an upgrade compared to its stand-alone guidance of

EPS CAGR above 8% through 2032, off 2025 base, and is confident beyond.

Regulatory capital for the pro forma combined entity is expected to increase at an 11% CAGR

during 2025-32 which is an upgrade vs NextEra and Dominion stand-alone guidance of

10% CAGR to 2030 for Dominion and 10% CAGR to 2032 for NextEra.

Higher growth rates are the combined effect of financials and strategic synergies, with both

management teams confident to put the increased financial headroom to good use.

NextEra outlines that 9%+ EPS CAGR could be a minimum with multiple avenues to upgrade

expectations. In addition to the financial benefits of the deal, we see clear strategic rational.

◆ First, we think Dominion’s two regulated businesses plus FPL results in a transparent

structure with three major regulated activities, which adds the helpful diversification without

being overly complex.

◆ The deal rationale includes scale benefits in procurement, development, and operational

cost. NextEra’s cost leadership and scale benefits today already demonstrate this as a

winning formula and we expect upside from doubling down on this strength.

◆ There are also strategic synergies such as NEER and Dominion working closer together

which could lead to higher volumes, for example in storage in the PJM market.

Accretion looks attractive from 2031/32e onwards
