Terry McCallister, CEO and chairman said, "...the strategic initiatives implemented over the past few years and the dedication of our employees have allowed us to deliver impressive results despite the challenging economy. These initiatives support our strong financial position and contributed to the growth of our non-regulated businesses and continued success in our utility operations," he added.

WGL's GAAP net loss for the fourth quarter ended 30 September 2009 was USD11.1m (USD0.22 per share), unchanged from the net loss of USD11.2m (USD0.22 per share) in the same quarter last fiscal year.

The net loss for quarters ending September is normally due to the seasons that reduces demand for natural gas in the period.

The GAAP earnings estimate for the fiscal year 2010 is between USD2.21 to USD2.33 per share.

Total operating revenues for the fiscal year were USD2.7bn, compared to the revenue of USD2.6bn last fiscal year. The total operating revenues for the fourth fiscal quarter were USD412.8m, while the revenues for the prior year fiscal quarter were USD391.9m.
