WGL Holdings Posts Fiscal 4Q Loss
NEW YORK (AP) ¿ WGL Holdings Inc., a natural gas and energy provider, reported a fiscal fourth-quarter net loss, driven by the seasonal nature of utility operations and the corresponding reduced demand for natural gas during this period.

Excluding special items, adjusted net loss for the quarter amounted to 25 cents per share.
Analysts polled by Thomson Reuters estimated a loss of 31 cents per share, on average. Analysts typically exclude one-time items.
Revenue climbed 5 percent to $412.8 million, up from $391.9 million in the prior-year period. For the full-year, earnings rose 3.3 percent to $120.4 million, or $2.39 per share, compared with $116.5 million, or $2.33 per share, during the same period last year.
