generate margins; however, the potential for asset optimization margins is expected to be lower than it has been in the past.
SaskEnergy Incorporated First Quarter Report
Weather is always a factor affecting financial results. Forecasted results are based on normal weather as defined by the 30-year average. To the extent that weather is colder than normal, delivery revenue will increase, and to the extent that weather is warmer than normal, delivery revenue will be lower. Transportation, storage, and other revenue items are typically not influenced by weather, as is the case with operating expenses. Commodity revenue and gas purchases are both affected by weather but typically offset each other.

Summary
SaskEnergy’s financial performance is expected to remain strong. Capital expenditure requirements and rising costs will remain a challenge throughout the forecast period as SaskEnergy adjusts to continued customer load growth, infrastructure renewal requirements, shifting natural gas supply dynamics and regulatory compliance. A low natural gas price environment will continue to create challenges from an asset optimization perspective. Delivery and transportation revenue will continue to grow along with increasing operating costs. The outcome will be moderate rate pressure assuming regular rate increases. SaskEnergy will continue to focus on providing safe and reliable service to its customers and investing in safety and growth initiatives while actively seeking operating and capital deployment efficiencies through collaboration and technology initiatives. Weather will be a key factor affecting 2019-20 financial results. Forecasted results are based on normal weather as defined by the 30-year average. To the extent that weather is colder than normal, delivery revenue will increase, and to the extent that weather is warmer than normal, deliver revenue will be lower. Assuming weather is not extremely cold, transportation and storage revenue are typically not impacted by weather, as is the case with operating expenses. Commodity revenue and gas purchases are both affected by weather but typically offset each other.
