For the first nine months of 2025, Southern Company reported earnings of $3.93 billion, or $3.56 per share, compared with $3.87 billion, or $3.53 per share, for the same period in 2024.
Adjusted earnings drivers for the third quarter 2025, as compared with the same period in 2024, were higher utility revenues, partially offset by higher depreciation and amortization and interest expense, as well as milder weather.
