Dec. 31, 2023
Accounting Policies [Abstract] |
Nature of Business | Nature of Business Avista Corp. is primarily an electric and natural gas utility with certain other business ventures. Avista Utilities is an operating division of Avista Corp., comprising its regulated utility operations in the Pacific Northwest. Avista Utilities provides electric distribution and transmission, and natural gas distribution services in parts of eastern Washington and northern Idaho. Avista Utilities also provides natural gas distribution service in parts of northeastern and southwestern Oregon. Avista Utilities has electric generating facilities in Washington, Idaho, Oregon and Montana. Avista Utilities also supplies electricity to a small number of customers in Montana. AERC is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Avista Corp. The primary subsidiary of AERC is AEL&P, which comprises Avista Corp.'s regulated utility operations in Alaska. Avista Capital, a wholly owned non-regulated subsidiary of Avista Corp., is the parent company of the subsidiary companies in the non-utility businesses, except AJT Mining Properties, Inc., which is a subsidiary of AERC. See Note 24 for business segment information.
Basis of Reporting | Basis of Reporting The consolidated financial statements include the assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses of the Company and its subsidiaries and other majority owned subsidiaries and variable interest entities for which the Company or its subsidiaries are the primary beneficiaries. Intercompany balances were eliminated in consolidation. The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the Company’s proportionate share of utility plant and related operations associated with its interests in jointly owned plants (see Note 9).
Use of Estimates | Use of Estimates The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported for assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Significant estimates include: • determining the market value of energy commodity derivative assets and liabilities, • pension and other postretirement benefit plan obligations, • contingent liabilities, • goodwill impairment testing, • fair value of equity investments, • recoverability of regulatory assets, and • unbilled revenues. Changes in these estimates and assumptions are considered reasonably possible and may have a material effect on the consolidated financial statements and thus actual results could differ from the amounts reported and disclosed herein.
Regulation | Regulation The Company is subject to state regulation in Washington, Idaho, Montana, Oregon and Alaska. The Company is subject to federal regulation primarily by the FERC, as well as various other federal agencies with regulatory oversight of particular aspects of its operations. Regulatory Deferred Charges and Credits The Company prepares its consolidated financial statements in accordance with regulatory accounting practices because: • rates for regulated services are established by or subject to approval by independent third-party regulators, • the regulated rates are designed to recover the cost of providing the regulated services, and • in view of demand for the regulated services and the level of competition, it is reasonable to assume that rates can be charged to and collected from customers at levels that will recover costs. Regulatory accounting practices require certain costs and/or obligations (such as incurred power and natural gas costs not currently reflected in rates, but expected to be recovered or refunded in the future), to be reflected as deferred charges or credits on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. These costs and/or obligations are not reflected in the Consolidated Statements of Income until the period during which matching revenues are recognized. The Company also has decoupling revenue deferrals. See Note 4 for discussion on decoupling revenue deferrals. If at some point in the future the Company determines it no longer meets the criteria for continued application of regulatory accounting practices for all or a portion of its regulated operations, the Company could be: • required to write off its regulatory assets, and • precluded from the future deferral of costs or decoupled revenues not recovered through rates at the time such amounts are incurred, even if the Company expected to recover these amounts from customers in the future. See Note 23 for further details of regulatory assets and liabilities.
Depreciation | Depreciation For utility operations, depreciation expense is estimated by a method of depreciation accounting utilizing composite rates for utility plant. Such rates are designed to provide for retirements of properties at the expiration of their service lives. For utility operations, the ratio of depreciation provisions to average depreciable property was as follows for the years ended December 31:
|  | 2023 |  |  | 2022 |  |  | 2021 |
Avista Utilities |  |  | 3.52 | % |  |  | 3.50 | % |  |  | 3.54 | %
Alaska Electric Light and Power Company |  |  | 2.78 | % |  |  | 2.78 | % |  |  | 2.77 | %
The average service lives for the following broad categories of utility plant in service are (in years):
|  | Avista Utilities |  |  | Alaska Electric Light and Power Company |
Electric thermal/other production |  |  | 26 |  |  |  | 41 |
Hydroelectric production |  |  | 79 |  |  |  | 42 |
Electric transmission |  |  | 50 |  |  |  | 43 |
Electric distribution |  |  | 40 |  |  |  | 39 |
Natural gas distribution property |  |  | 44 |  |  | N/A |
Other shorter-lived general plant |  |  | 8 |  |  |  | 18 |
Allowance for Funds Used During Construction | Allowance for Funds Used During Construction AFUDC represents the cost of both the debt and equity funds used to finance utility plant additions during the construction period. As prescribed by regulatory authorities, AFUDC is capitalized as a part of the cost of utility plant. The debt component of AFUDC is credited against total interest expense in the Consolidated Statements of Income in the line item “capitalized interest.” The equity component of AFUDC is included in the Consolidated Statements of Income in the line item “other income-net.” The Company is permitted, under established regulatory rate practices, to recover the capitalized AFUDC, and a reasonable return thereon, through its inclusion in rate base and the provision for depreciation after the related utility plant is placed in service. Cash inflow related to AFUDC does not occur until the related utility plant is placed in service and included in rate base. The WUTC and IPUC have authorized Avista Utilities to calculate AFUDC using its allowed rate of return. To the extent amounts calculated using this rate exceed the AFUDC amounts calculated using the FERC formula, Avista Utilities capitalizes the excess as a regulatory asset. The regulatory asset associated with plant in service is amortized over the average useful life of Avista Utilities' utility plant which is approximately 30 years. The regulatory asset associated with construction work in progress is not amortized until the plant is placed in service. The effective AFUDC rate was the following for the years ended December 31:
|  | 2023 |  |  | 2022 |  |  | 2021 |
Avista Utilities |  |  | 7.03 | % |  |  | 7.12 | % |  |  | 7.19 | %
Alaska Electric Light and Power Company |  |  | 8.61 | % |  |  | 8.08 | % |  |  | 8.90 | %
Income Taxes | Income Taxes Deferred income tax assets represent future income tax deductions the Company expects to utilize in future tax returns to reduce taxable income. Deferred income tax liabilities represent future taxable income the Company expects to recognize in future tax returns. Deferred tax assets and liabilities arise when there are temporary differences resulting from differing treatment of items for tax and accounting purposes. A deferred income tax asset or liability is determined based on the enacted tax rates that will be in effect when the temporary differences between the financial statement carrying amounts and tax basis of existing assets and liabilities are expected to be reported in the Company’s consolidated income tax returns. The effect on deferred income taxes from a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date unless a regulatory order specifies deferral of the effect of the change in tax rates over a longer period of time. The Company establishes a valuation allowance when it is more likely than not that all, or a portion, of a deferred tax asset will not be realized. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities and regulatory assets and liabilities are established for income tax benefits flowed through to customers. The Company has elected to account for transferable tax credits as a component of the income tax provision. The Company recognizes the benefit of production tax credits as a reduction of income tax expense in the period the credit is generated, which corresponds to the period the energy production occurs. The Company applies the deferral method of accounting for investment tax credits (ITCs). Under this method, ITCs are amortized as a reduction to income tax expense over the estimated useful lives of the underlying property that gave rise to the credit. The Company's largest deferred income tax item is the difference between the book and tax basis of utility plant. This item results from the temporary difference on depreciation expense. In early tax years, this item is recorded as a deferred income tax liability that will eventually reverse and become subject to income tax in later tax years. The Company did no t incur penalties on income tax positions in 2023, 2022 or 2021. The Company would recognize interest accrued related to income tax positions as interest expense or interest income and penalties incurred as other operating expense.
Stock-Based Compensation | Stock-Based Compensation The Company issues three types of stock-based compensation awards - restricted shares, market-based awards and performance-based awards. Compensation cost relating to share-based payment transactions is recognized in the Company’s financial statements based on the fair value of the equity instruments issued and recorded over the requisite service period. The Company recorded stock-based compensation expense (included in other operating expenses) and income tax benefits in the Consolidated Statements of Income of the following amounts for the years ended December 31 (dollars in thousands):
|  | 2023 |  |  | 2022 |  |  | 2021 |
Stock-based compensation expense |  | $ | 7,144 |  |  | $ | 7,567 |  |  | $ | 4,713 |
Income tax benefits |  |  | 1,500 |  |  |  | 1,589 |  |  |  | 990 |
Excess tax benefits (expenses) on settled share-based employee payments |  |  | 84 |  |  |  | (19 | ) |  |  | (909 | )
Restricted share awards vest in equal thirds each year over 3 years and are payable in Avista Corp. common stock at the end of each year if the service condition is met. Restricted stock is valued at the close of market of the Company’s common stock on the grant date. Total Shareholder Return (TSR) awards are market-based awards and Cumulative Earnings Per Share (CEPS) awards are performance awards. Both types of awards vest after a period of 3 years and are payable in cash or Avista Corp. common stock at the end of the three-year period. The method of settlement is at the discretion of the Company and historically the Company has settled these awards through issuance of Avista Corp. common stock and intends to continue this practice. Both types of awards entitle the recipients to dividend equivalent rights, are subject to forfeiture under certain circumstances, and are subject to meeting specific market or performance conditions. Based on the level of attainment of the market or performance conditions, the amount of cash paid or common stock issued will range from 0 to 200 percent of the initial awards granted. Dividend equivalent rights are accumulated and paid out only on shares that have vested and have met the market and performance conditions. The Company accounts for both the TSR awards and CEPS awards as equity awards and compensation cost for these awards is recognized over the requisite service period, provided the requisite service period is rendered. For TSR awards, if the market condition is not met at the end of the three-year service period, there will be no change in the cumulative amount of compensation cost recognized, since the awards are still considered vested even though the market metric was not met. For CEPS awards, at the end of the three-year service period, if the internal performance metric of cumulative earnings per share is not met, all compensation cost for these awards is reversed as these awards are not considered vested. The fair value of each TSR award is estimated on the date of grant using a statistical model incorporating the probability of meeting the market targets based on historical returns relative to a peer group. CEPS awards are valued at the close of market of the Company's common stock on the grant date. The following table summarizes the number of grants, vested and unvested shares, earned shares (based on market metrics), and other pertinent information related to the Company's stock compensation awards for the years ended December 31:

Outstanding restricted, TSR and CEPS share awards include a dividend component paid in cash. A liability for the dividends payable related to these awards is accrued as dividends are announced throughout the life of the award. As of December 31, 2023 and 2022, the Company had recognized a liabi lity of $2.2 million and $1.7 million, respectively, related to the dividend equivalents payable on the outstanding and unvested share grants.
Other Expense (Income) - Net | Other Income - Net Other income - net consisted of the following items for the years ended December 31 (dollars in thousands):
|  | 2023 |  |  | 2022 |  |  | 2021 |
Interest income |  | $ | 5,949 |  |  | $ | 1,957 |  |  | $ | 1,943 |
Interest on regulatory deferrals |  |  | 8,713 |  |  |  | 1,914 |  |  |  | 1,206 |
Equity-related AFUDC |  |  | 6,886 |  |  |  | 6,704 |  |  |  | 7,004 |
Non-service portion of pension and other postretirement benefit expenses |  |  | 630 |  |  |  | 3,037 |  |  |  | (1,386 | )
Earnings (losses) on investments |  |  | (3,227 | ) |  |  | 48,492 |  |  |  | 21,402 |
Other income |  |  | 575 |  |  |  | 613 |  |  |  | 3,129 |
Total |  | $ | 19,526 |  |  | $ | 62,717 |  |  | $ | 33,298 |
Earnings per Common Share | Earnings per Common Share Basic earnings per common share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings per common share is calculated by dividing net income by diluted weighted-average common shares outstanding during the period, including common stock equivalent shares outstanding using the treasury stock method, unless such shares are anti-dilutive. Common stock equivalent shares include shares issuable under contingent stock awards. See Note 21 for earnings per common share calculations.
Cash and Cash Equivalents | Cash and Cash Equivalents For the purposes of the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows, the Company considers all temporary investments with a maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents.
Allowance For Doubtful Accounts | Allowance for Doubtful Accounts The Company maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts to provide for estimated and potential losses on accounts receivable. The Company determines the allowance for utility and other customer accounts receivable based on historical write-offs as compared to accounts receivable and operating revenues. Additionally, the Company establishes specific allowances for certain individual accounts. The following table presents the activity in the allowance for doubtful accounts during the years ended December 31 (dollars in thousands):
|  | 2023 |  |  | 2022 |  |  | 2021 |
Allowance as of the beginning of the year |  | $ | 6,473 |  |  | $ | 10,465 |  |  | $ | 11,387 |
Additions expensed during the year |  |  | 6,865 |  |  |  | 149 |  |  |  | 9,279 |
Net deductions (1) |  |  | (8,351 | ) |  |  | (4,141 | ) |  |  | (10,201 | )
Allowance as of the end of the year |  | $ | 4,987 |  |  | $ | 6,473 |  |  | $ | 10,465 |
(1) The higher balance in 2021 is related to COVID-19 forgiveness program. The Company received support from various government agencies in 2023 and 2022 in the amounts of $1.5 million and $6.1 million, respectively, which were applied to overdue customer accounts.
Utility Plant in Service | Utility Plant in Service The cost of additions to utility plant in service, including an allowance for funds used during construction and replacements of units of property and improvements, is capitalized. The cost of depreciable units of property retired plus the cost of removal less salvage is charged to accumulated depreciation.
Asset Retirement Obligations | Asset Retirement Obligations The Company records the fair value of a liability for an ARO in the period in which it is incurred. When the liability is initially recorded, the associated costs of the ARO are capitalized as part of the carrying amount of the related long-lived asset. The liability is accreted to its present value each period and the related capitalized costs are depreciated over the useful life of the related asset. In addition, if there are changes in the estimated timing or estimated costs of the AROs, adjustments are recorded during the period new information becomes available as an increase or decrease to the liability, with the offset recorded to the related long-lived asset. Upon retirement of the asset, the Company either settles the ARO for its recorded amount or recognizes a regulatory asset or liability for the difference, which will be surcharged/refunded to customers through the ratemaking process. The Company records regulatory assets and liabilities for the difference between asset retirement costs currently recovered in rates and AROs recorded since asset retirement costs are recovered through rates charged to customers (see Note 11 for further discussion of the Company's AROs). The Company recovers certain asset retirement costs through rates charged to customers as a portion of its depreciation expense for which the Company has not recorded asset retirement obligations. The Company records the amount of estimated retirement costs collected from customers (that do not represent legal or contractual obligations) and includes them as a non-current regulatory liability on the Consolidated Balance Sheets in the following amounts as of December 31 (dollars in thousands):
|  | 2023 |  |  | 2022 |
Regulatory liability for utility plant retirement costs |  | $ | 417,027 |  |  | $ | 376,817 |
Goodwill | Goodwill Goodwill arising from acquisitions represents the future economic benefit arising from other assets acquired in a business combination not individually identified and separately recognized. In 2023, the Company evaluated goodwill for impairment using a qualitative analysis (Step 0). The Company completed its annual evaluation of goodwill for potential impairment as of November 30, 2023 and determined goodwill was not impaired at that time. No events or circumstances occurred between November 30, 2023 and December 31, 2023 that would more likely than not reduce the fair values of the reporting units below their carrying amounts. As of December 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the carrying amount of goodwill was $52.4 million. There are no accumulated impairment losses recognized to date.
Derivative Assets and Liabilities | Derivative Assets and Liabilities Derivatives are recorded as either assets or liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets measured at estimated fair value. The WUTC and the IPUC issued accounting orders authorizing Avista Corp. to offset energy commodity derivative assets or liabilities with a regulatory asset or liability. This accounting treatment is intended to defer the recognition of mark-to-market gains and losses on energy commodity transactions until the period of delivery. Realized benefits and costs result in adjustments to retail rates through PGAs, the ERM in Washington, the PCA mechanism in Idaho, and periodic general rate cases. The resulting regulatory assets associated with energy commodity derivative instruments are probable of recovery through future rates. Substantially all forward contracts to purchase or sell power and natural gas are recorded as derivative assets or liabilities at estimated fair value with an offsetting regulatory asset or liability. Contracts not considered derivatives are accounted for on the accrual basis until they are settled or realized unless there is a decline in the fair value of the contract determined to be other-than-temporary. For interest rate swap derivatives, Avista Corp. records all mark-to-market gains and losses in each accounting period as assets and liabilities, as well as offsetting regulatory assets and liabilities, such that there is no income statement impact. The interest rate swap derivatives are risk management tools similar to energy commodity derivatives. Upon settlement of interest rate swap derivatives, the regulatory asset or liability is amortized as a component of interest expense over the term of the associated debt. The Company records an offset of interest rate swap derivative assets and liabilities with regulatory assets and liabilities, based on the prior practice of the commissions to provide recovery through the ratemaking process. The Company has multiple master netting agreements with a variety of entities allowing for cross-commodity netting of derivative agreements with the same counterparty (i.e. power derivatives can be netted with natural gas derivatives). In addition, some master netting agreements allow for the netting of commodity derivatives and interest rate swap derivatives for the same counterparty. The Company does not have agreements which allow for cross-affiliate netting among multiple affiliated legal entities. The Company nets all derivative instruments when allowed by the agreement for presentation in the Consolidated Balance Sheets.
Fair Value Measurements | Fair Value Measurements Fair value represents the price that would be received when selling an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Energy commodity derivative assets and liabilities, deferred compensation assets, some equity investments, as well as derivatives related to interest rate swaps and foreign currency exchange contracts, are reported at estimated fair value on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. See Note 18 for the Company’s fair value disclosures.
Unamortized Debt Expense | Unamortized Debt Expense Unamortized debt expense includes debt issuance costs that are amortized over the life of the related debt. These costs are recorded as an offset to Long-Term Debt on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Unamortized Debt Repurchase Costs Premiums paid or discounts received to repurchase debt are amortized over the remaining life of the original debt repurchased or, if new debt is issued in connection with the repurchase, these costs are amortized over the life of the new debt. These costs are recovered through retail rates as a component of interest expense.
Appropriated Retained Earnings | Appropriated Retained Earnings In accordance with the hydroelectric licensing requirements of section 10(d) of the Federal Power Act (FPA), the Company maintains an appropriated retained earnings account for earnings in excess of the specified rate of return on the Company's investment in the licenses for its various hydroelectric projects. Per section 10(d) of the FPA, the Company must maintain these excess earnings in an appropriated retained earnings account until the termination of the licensing agreements or apply them to reduce the net investment in the licenses of the hydroelectric projects at the discretion of the FERC. The Company calculates the earnings in excess of the specified rate of return on an annual basis, usually during the second quarter. The appropriated retained earnings amounts included in retained earnings were as follows as of December 31 (dollars in thousands):
|  | 2023 |  |  | 2022 |
Appropriated retained earnings |  | $ | 59,118 |  |  | $ | 57,231 |
Contingencies | Contingencies The Company has unresolved regulatory, legal and tax issues which have inherently uncertain outcomes. The Company accrues a loss contingency if it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the loss or impairment can be reasonably estimated. The Company also discloses loss contingencies that do not meet these conditions for accrual, if there is a reasonable possibility that a material loss may be incurred. As of December 31, 2023, the Company has not recorded significant amounts related to unresolved contingencies. See Note 22 for further discussion of the Company's commitments and contingencies.
Inventory | Inventories of materials and supplies, emissions allowances, stored natural gas and fuel stock are recorded at average cost and consisted of the following as of December 31 (dollars in thousands):
|  | 2023 |  |  | 2022 |
Materials and supplies |  | $ | 81,651 |  |  | $ | 75,766 |
Emission allowances |  |  | 56,097 |  |  |  | — |
Stored natural gas |  |  | 16,272 |  |  |  | 26,788 |
Fuel stock |  |  | 5,964 |  |  |  | 5,120 |
Total |  | $ | 159,984 |  |  | $ | 107,674 |
