Management will address impacts from recent extreme cold weather on its businesses

RAPID CITY, S.D., Feb. 26, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Black Hills Corp. (NYSE: BKH) today announced that members of its senior management team will visit virtually with investors during the following conferences in March:

During these meetings, management will address the impacts to its electric and natural gas utilities from the significant increases in energy demand and the unforeseeable and unprecedented market prices caused by the prolonged period of historic cold temperatures during February. Management will also review the impacts from the extreme weather on Black Hills Energy Services, which serves 49,000 customers in Nebraska and Wyoming under the Choice Gas program. This program saw increases in demand that required incremental market-priced purchases of natural gas to meet customer needs.

Management will also discuss its recent financing activity to bolster its liquidity, as detailed in our Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 24.

Black Hills also reaffirms its 2021 and 2022 earnings guidance most recently issued on Feb. 10, and reiterates that management will be available during the March investor meetings to discuss its guidance and long-term growth targets.
