Significant estimates include amounts related to regulatory accounting, energy derivatives, environmental remediation costs, legal contingencies, pension and other postretirement benefit costs, revenue recognition, goodwill, and evaluation of equity method investments for other-than-temporary impairment.impairment, and allowance for credit losses. Estimates may be subject to future uncertainties, including the continued evolution of the COVID-19 pandemic and its impact on our operations and economic conditions, which could affect the fair value of the ETG reporting unit and its goodwill balance (see Note 17), as well as the allowance for credit losses and the total impact and potential recovery of incremental costs associated with COVID-19 (see Notes 5 and 8).

ACQUISITIONS - SJI had no acquisitions for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. For further discussion on prior acquisitions, refer to Note 1 "Summary of Significant Accounting Policies" of SJI's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020.

SALE OF SOLAR ASSETS - On June 27, 2018, the Company, through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Marina, entered into a series of agreements whereby Marina agreed to sell its then-existing portfolio of solar energy projects (for this section, the "Projects"), along with the assets comprising the Projects. These sales occurred during 2018-2020, including one project sold during the first quarter of 2020 for total consideration of $7.2 million. In connection with this transaction, Marina is leasing back from the buyer certain of the Projects that have not yet passed the fifth anniversary of their placed-in-service dates for U.S. federal income tax purposes. The leaseback runs from the date each such project was acquired by the buyer until the later of the first anniversary of the applicable acquisition date and the fifth anniversary of the applicable placed-in-service date of the project. As of March 31, 2021, there are 10 such projects being leased back from the buyer through the end of 2021, which is the fifth anniversary of their placed-in-service date. The results of these projects being leased back are not material.

See Note 7 for a discussion of the Utilities' rate structure and regulatory actions. The Utilities maintain their accounts according to the BPU's and MPSC's prescribed Uniform System of Accounts. The Utilities follow the accounting for regulated enterprises prescribed by ASC 980, Regulated Operations. In general, Topic 980, which allows for the deferral of certain costs (regulatory assets) and creation of certain obligations (regulatory liabilities) when it is probable that such items will be recovered from or refunded to customers in future periods.periods. See Note 8 for a detailed discussion ofmore information related to regulatory assets and liabilities.

ACQUISITIONS - On June 30, 2020, SJI, through its wholly-owned subsidiary Marina, acquired ESNJ-AL-Somerspoint LLC, ESNJ-AL-Hamiltonsquare LLC, and ESNJ-AL-BrownsMills LLC, which own and operate solar-generation sites as noted above, for $2.8 million in total consideration. See Note 17. These entities are separate from the solar assets and projects that are discussed under "Agreement to Sell Solar Assets."

On August 31, 2019, SJI, through its wholly-owned subsidiary SJEI, completed its acquisition of AEP for $4.0 million in total consideration.

AGREEMENT TO SELL SOLAR ASSETS - See Note 1 to the Consolidated Financial Statements under "Agreement to Sell Solar Assets" in Item 8 of the Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019 for additional information regarding SJI’s agreement to sell its portfolio of solar energy assets (each, a "Project" and, in total, the "Transaction").

During the first six months of 2020, 1 Project was sold for total consideration of $7.2 million, which was the net book value of the asset on the date of sale. The solar assets related to this Project were recorded as Assets Held for Sale on the condensed consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2019. During the first six months of 2019, 7 Projects were sold for total consideration of $24.3 million.

The Company currently has 2 solar projects that are not part of the Transaction but are expected to be sold in 2020. The solar assets related to these 2 projects were recorded as Assets Held for Sale on the condensed consolidated balance sheets as of both June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, where they will remain until they are transferred to a buyer.

AGREEMENT TO SELL MTF & ACB - In December 2019, the Company announced it had entered into an agreement to sell MTF and ACB to a third-party buyer for an initial sales price of $100.0 million, which includes working capital.

IMPAIRMENT OF LONG-LIVED ASSETS - Long-lived assets that are held and used are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate carrying values may not be recoverable. We performed a qualitative assessment of the long-lived assets of SJI and SJG as of June 30, 2020 to determine whether the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, and the resulting fluctuations in market conditions, indicate that the fair value of the assets are less than their carrying value. There were no indicators noted through these qualitative assessments that indicate an impairment has occurred.

NaN impairments were identified at either SJI or SJG for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 or 2019, respectively.

OPERATING REVENUES - Gas and electric revenues are recognized in the period the commodity is delivered to customers. For retail customers (including SJG) that are not billed at the end of the month, we record an estimate to recognize unbilled revenues for gas and electricity delivered from the date of the last meter reading to the end of the month. The Utilities also have revenues that arise from alternative revenue programs, which are discussed further in Note 16.15. For ETG and SJG, unrealized gains and losses on energy-related derivative instruments are recorded in Regulatory Assets or Regulatory Liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheets of SJI and SJG (see Note 12) until they become realized, in which case they are recognized in operating revenues. SJRG's gas revenues are recognized in the period the commodity is delivered. Realizeddelivered, and operating revenues for SJRG include realized and unrealized gains and losses on energy-related derivative instruments are also recognized in operating revenues for SJRG.instruments. SJRG presents revenues and expenses related to its energy trading activities on a net basis in operating revenues. This net presentation has no effect on operating income or net income. The Company recognizes revenues on commissions received related to SJESP appliance service contracts from a third party, along with AEP and EnerConnex energy procurement service contracts from a third party, on a monthly basis as thesethe commissions are earned. Marina recognizes revenue for renewable energy projects when output is generated and delivered to the customer, and when renewable energy credits have been transferred to the third party at an agreed upon price.

We considered the impact the COVID-19 pandemic has had on operating revenues, noting that SJI and SJG have not seen a significant reduction in revenues as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. This is due to the delivery of gas and electricity being considered an essential service, and continuing to be delivered timelywith delivery to customers andcontinuing in a timely manner with no delays or operational shutdowns taking place to date. Given the performance obligation is satisfied at delivery, which matches the time when the Company is able to invoice the customer, the Company is confident in being able to meet its future performance obligations. To the extent that the pandemic does impact our ability to deliver in the future, operating revenues could be impacted.

ARO - The amounts included under ARO are primarily related to Currently, the legal obligations SJI and SJG have to cut and cap gas distribution pipelines when taking those pipelines out of service in future years. These liabilities are generally recognized upon the acquisition or constructionimpact of the asset, or when management has adequate informationpandemic on the collectability of our accounts receivable continues to be monitored, but such receivables have traditionally been included in order to make an estimate of the obligation. The related asset retirement cost is capitalized concurrently by increasing the carrying amount of the related asset by the same amount as the liability. Changes in the liability are recorded for the passage of time (accretion) or for revisions to cash flows originally estimated to settle the ARO.

Corresponding entries were made to Regulatory Assets and Utility Plant, thus having no impact on earnings.
TREASURY STOCK - SJI uses the par value method of accounting for treasury stock. As of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, SJI held 248,411 and 231,514 shares of treasury stock, respectively. These shares are related to deferred compensation arrangements where the amounts earned are held in the stock of SJI.

AFUDC - SJI and SJG record AFUDC, which represents the estimated debt and equity costs of capital funds that are necessary to finance the construction of new facilities. While cash is not realized currently, AFUDC increases the regulated revenue requirement and is included in rate base and recovered over the service life of the asset through a higher rate base and higher depreciation.

INCOME0INCOME TAXES - Deferred income taxes are provided for all significant temporary differences between the book and taxable bases of assets and liabilities in accordance with ASC 740, Income TaxesCertain deferred income taxes are recorded with offsetting regulatory assets or liabilities by the Company to recognize that income taxes will be recovered or refunded through future rates. A valuation allowance is establishedrecorded when it is determined that it is more likely than not that aany of SJI's or SJG's deferred tax assetassets will not be realized.

As of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the balance of the intangible asset is $9.0 million and $11.5 million, respectively, and is recorded to Other Current and Noncurrent Assets on the condensed consolidated balance sheets of SJI, with the reduction being due to amortization. As of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the balance in the liability is $8.5 million and $10.6 million, respectively, and is recorded to Regulatory Liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheets of SJI, with the change resulting from profit sharing earned.

VSIP - SJG entered into a VSIP program with IBEW Local 1293 and IAM Local 76 union employees over the age of 60 years old with 10 or more years of service to SJG. Communication was made to these employees in both the first and second quarter 2020, with acceptance made by the Local 1293 employees by April 14, 2020 and by the Local 76 employees by May 6, 2020. Total cost to SJG for the VSIP was $0.6 million, all of which related to employees of SJG and was included in Operations Expense on the condensed consolidated statements of income (loss) of SJI and SJG for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020.

THIRD PARTY GAS SUPPLIER REFUND - During the second quarter of 2020, a third party pipeline capacity supplier that is utilized by the Utilities and the wholesale energy operations at SJRG in the normal course of business settled its rate case with the FERC. As part of the executed settlement, the third party supplier was ordered to refund customers for over billings on transportation costs that had been charged during the rate case period. As a result, in June 2020, SJRG and SJG received notification from the supplier that refunds totaling approximately $11.2 million and $10.0 million, respectively, would be received. SJRG and SJG received the refunds in July 2020. Of the total SJRG refund, approximately $7.1 million will be remitted to ETG under the terms of the AMA (see above). As transportation costs incurred by ETG under the AMA can be recovered from ratepayers under its BGSS rate mechanism, the $7.1 million was recorded as an increase to ETG's Regulatory Liabilities as of June 30, 2020 (see Note 8). For the remaining $3.9 million retained by SJRG, approximately $3.8 million was recorded as Operating Revenues; as noted above, SJRG presents revenues and expenses related to its energy trading activities on a net basis in Operating Revenues. The remaining $0.1 million in interest was recorded in Other Income. As SJG also recovers these costs through its BGSS rate mechanism, the $10.0 million refund was recorded as a reduction to SJG's Regulatory Assets as of June 30, 2020 (see Note 8).

CURRENT PORTION OF LONG-TERM DEBT & SHORT-TERM BORROWINGS - As of June 30, 2020, the Company had $117.9 million of long-term debt that was due within one year ("current portion"), along with $452.8 million of notes payable which included borrowings under the commercial paper program and revolving credit facilities ("short-term borrowings"; see Note 10). As of December 31, 2019, the Company had $467.9 million of current portion and $848.7 million of short-term borrowings. This reduction is the result of SJI refinancing $600.0 million of short-term and current portion amounts that were outstanding as of December 31, 2019, including $400.0 million at SJG (see Note 14), with the remainder being paid down using proceeds from the agreements to sell assets discussed above. SJI expects to further reduce its debt and notes payable over the next twelve months using cash provided from the sale of ELK and the remaining solar assets as discussed above. The remaining portion of long-term debt that is due within one year is expected to be paid by utilizing funds provided from refinancing activities and from the Company's revolving credit facilities.

Although there can be no assurance, management believes that actions presently being taken to pay off or refinance the long-term debt and borrowings that are due within the next year will be successful, as the Company has been successful in refinancing debt in the past. No adjustments have been made to the financial statements to account for this uncertainty.

AOCL - SJI and SJG release income tax effects from AOCL on an individual unit of account basis.

NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS - Other than as described below, no new accounting pronouncement had, or is expected to have, a material impact on the condensed consolidated financial statements of SJI, or the condensed financial statements of SJG.

Recently Adopted Standards:

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-04, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment. The update simplifies how an entity is required to test goodwill for impairment by eliminating Step 2 from the goodwill impairment test. Step 2 measures a goodwill impairment loss by comparing the implied fair value of a reporting unit’s goodwill with the carrying amount. SJI and SJG adopted this guidance on January 1, 2020, consistent with the effective date. Adoption of this guidance did not have an impact on the financial statement results of SJI or SJG.

Table of Contents
Recently Adopted Standards:
In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework - Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement. This ASU modifies the disclosure requirements on the timing of liquidation of an investee's assets and the description of measurement uncertainty at the reporting date. Entities are now required to disclose: (1) the changes in unrealized gains and losses for the period included in other comprehensive income for recurring Level 3 fair value measurements; and (2) the range and weighted average of significant unobservable inputs used to develop Level 3 fair value measurements. Further, the standard eliminates disclosure requirements with respect to: (1) the transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy; (2) the policy for timing of transfers between levels; and (3) the valuation process for Level 3 fair value measurements. The new disclosure requirement for unrealized gains and losses, the range and weighted average of significant unobservable inputs and the narrative description of measurement uncertainty should be applied prospectively. All other amendments should be applied retrospectively to all periods presented upon their effective date. SJI and SJG adopted this guidance on January 1, 2020, consistent with the effective date. Adoption of this guidance did not have an impact on the financial statement results of SJI or SJG.

In April 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-04, Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses, Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging, and Topic 825, Financial Instruments. The amendments in this ASU provide codification improvements and further clarification on several topics, including ASU 2017-12, Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities, as well as ASU 2016-01, Financial Instruments - Overall (Subtopic 825-10). Since SJI and SJG adopted the amendments in ASU 2017-12 (with no impact to the financial statement results of SJI or SJG) as of April 25, 2019 (the issuance date of ASU 2019-04), the remaining amendments became effective and were adopted by SJI and SJG on January 1, 2020. Adoption of this guidance did not have an impact on the financial statement results of SJI or SJG. See ASU 2016-13 below for more detail.

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, as amended. The amendments in this update replace the incurred loss impairment methodology in current GAAP with a methodology that reflects expected credit losses and requires consideration of a broader range of reasonable and supportable information to develop credit loss estimates. An entity will apply the amendment through a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings as of the beginning of the first reporting period in which the guidance is effective. ASU 2016-13 was effective for SJI and SJG beginning on January 1, 2020. The impact of adoption did not result in an adjustment to retained earnings for either SJI or SJG as of January 1, 2020.

Standards Not Yet Effective:

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-14, Compensation - Retirement Benefits - Defined Benefit Plans - General (Subtopic 715-20) Disclosure Framework - Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Defined Benefit Plan. This ASU eliminates requirements for certain disclosures such as the amount and timing of plan assets expected to be returned to the employer and the amount of future annual benefits covered by insurance contracts. The standard adds new disclosures that provide information relating to the weighted-average interest crediting rate for cash balance plans and other plans with promised interest crediting rates and an explanation for significant gains or losses related to changes in the benefit obligations for the period. The standard is effective for the annual disclosures for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2020. Management is currently determining the impact that adoption of this guidance will have on the financial statements of SJI and SJG.

In January 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-01, Investments - Equity Securities (Topic 321), Investments - Equity Method and Joint Ventures (Topic 323), and Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Clarifying the Interactions between Topic 321, Topic 323, and Topic 815. The amendments in this ASU clarify that an entity should consider observable transactions that require it to either apply or discontinue the equity method of accounting for the purposes of applying the measurement alternative in accordance with Topic 321 immediately before applying or upon discontinuing the equity method. The amendments in this ASU also clarify that for the purposes of applying Topic 815, an entity should not consider whether, upon the settlement of a forward contract or exercise of a purchased option, individually or with existing investments, the underlying securities would be accounted for under the equity method in Topic 323 or the fair value option in accordance with the financial instruments guidance in Topic 825. The standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, and interim periods within those fiscal years, for public companies.

The amendments in ASU 2020-04 provide various optional expedients and exceptions for applying GAAP to contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions affected by reference rate reform if certain criteria are met. The amendments apply only to contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions that reference LIBOR or another reference rate expected to be discontinued because of reference rate reform.

ASU 2020-06: Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity's Own EquityThe amendments in this ASU simplify the accounting for convertible instruments by removing certain separation models in Subtopic 470-20. Under the amendments, embedded conversion features are no longer separated from the host contract for convertible instruments with conversion features that are not required to be accounted for as derivatives under Topic 815, or that do not result in substantial premiums accounted for as paid-in capital. Consequently, a convertible debt instrument will be accounted for as a single liability measured at its amortized cost and a convertible preferred stock will be accounted for as a single equity instrument measured at its historical cost, as long as no other features require bifurcation and recognition as derivatives. The amendments also add new convertible instrument disclosure requirements. Additionally, the amendments in this ASU remove certain conditions from the settlement guidance within the derivative scope exception guidance contained in Subtopic 815-40 and further clarify the derivative scope exception guidance. Finally, the amendments in this ASU align the diluted EPS calculation for convertible instruments by requiring that an entity use the if-converted method instead of the treasury stock method when calculated diluted EPS for convertible instruments.January 1, 2022; early adoption permitted, but not before January 1, 2021.Retrospective or Modified RetrospectiveManagement is currently determining the impact that adoption of this guidance will have on the financial statements of SJI and SJG

2.    STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION PLAN:

Under SJI's 2015 Omnibus Equity Compensation Plan (Plan), sharesmay be issued to SJI’s officers (Officers), non-employee directors (Directors) and other key employees. NaN options were granted or outstanding during the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019. NaN stock appreciation rights have been issued under the Plan.  During the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, SJI granted 225,278 and 181,387 total restricted shares, respectively, to Officers and other key employees under the Plan.

SJI grants time-based shares of restricted stock, one-third of which vest annually over a three-yearthree-year period and which are limited to a 100% payout. The vesting and payout of time-based shares of restricted stock is solely contingent upon the service requirement being met in years one, two, and three of the grant. During the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, Officers and other key employees were granted 105,451 and 85,146 shares of time-based restricted stock, respectively, which are included in the total restricted shares noted above.

Performance-based restricted shares vest over a three-yearthree-year period and are subject to SJI achieving certain market and earnings-based performance targets, which can cause the actual amount of shares that ultimately vest to range from 0% to 200% of the original shares granted. DuringNaN options were granted or outstanding, and 0 restricted shares (time-based or performance-based) were granted during the sixthree months ended June 30, 2020March 31, 2021 and 2019,2020. NaN stock appreciation rights have been issued under the Plan. Restricted shares to Officers and other key employees wereare expected to be granted 119,827 and 96,241 shares of performance-based restricted stock, respectively, which are included in the total restricted shares noted above.second quarter of 2021.

Grants containing market-based performance targets use SJI's TSR relative to a peer group to measure performance. As TSR-based grants are contingent upon market and service conditions, SJI is required to measure and recognize stock-based compensation expense based on the fair value at the date of grant on a straight-line basis over the requisite three-yearthree-year period of each award. In addition, SJI identifies specific forfeitures of share-based awards, and compensation expense is adjusted accordingly over the requisite service period. Compensation expense is not adjusted based on the actual achievement of performancemarket goals. The fair value of TSR-based restricted stock awards on the date of grant is estimated using a Monte Carlo simulation model.

Table of Contents
Earnings-based performance targets include pre-defined EGR and ROE goals to measure performance. Performance targets include pre-defined CEGR for SJI. As EGR-based ROE-based and CEGR-based grants are contingent upon performance and service conditions, SJI is required to measure and recognize stock-based compensation expense based on the fair value at the date of grant over the requisite three-yearthree-year period of each award. The fair value is measured as the market price at the date of grant. The initial accruals of compensation expense are based on the estimated number of shares expected to vest, assuming the requisite service is rendered and probable outcome of the performance condition is achieved. That estimate is revised if subsequent information indicates that the actual number of shares is likely to differ from previous estimates. Compensation expense is ultimately adjusted based on the actual achievement of service and performance targets.

During the sixthree months ended June 30,March 31, 2021, SJI did not grant any restricted shares to its Directors; however 54,419 shares were issued in April 2021. During the three months ended March 31, 2020, and 2019, SJI granted 36,829 and 30,028 restricted shares respectively, to its Directors. Shares issued to Directors vest over twelve months and contain no performance conditions. As a result, 100% of the shares granted generally vest.

Expected volatility is based on the actual volatility of SJI’s share price over the preceding three-yearthree-year period as of the valuation date. The risk-free interest rate is based on the zero-coupon U.S. Treasury Bond, with a term equal to the three-yearthree-year term of the Officers’ and other key employees’ restricted shares. As notional dividend equivalents are credited to the holders during the three-yearthree-year service period, no reduction to the fair value of the award is required. As the Directors’ restricted stock awards contain no performance conditions and dividends are paid or credited to the holder during the requisitetwelve month service period, the fair value of these awards is equal to the market value of the shares on the date of grant.

The following table summarizes the total stock-based compensation cost to SJI for the three and six months ended June 30,March 31, 2021 and 2020 and 2019 (in thousands):

SJI has a policy of issuing new shares to satisfy its obligations under the Plan; therefore, there are no cash payment requirements resulting from the normal operation of the Plan. However, a change in control could result in such shares becoming non-forfeitable or immediately payable in cash. At the discretion of the Officers, Directors and other key employees, the receipt of vested shares can be deferred until future periods. These deferred shares are included in Treasury Stock on the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

SJG - Officers and other key employees of SJG participate in the stock-based compensation plans of SJI.

On the same day, PennEast filed an amendment with the FERC to construct PennEast in two phases. Phase one consists of construction of a pipeline in Pennsylvania from the eastern Marcellus Shale region in Luzerne County that would terminate in Northampton County. Phase two includes construction of the remaining original certificated route in Pennsylvania and New Jersey. Construction is expected to begin following approval by the FERC of the phased approach and receipt of any remaining governmental and regulatory permits.

On June 29, 2020, the U.S. Supreme Court invited the USU.S. Solicitor General to file a brief expressing the views of the United States.
On December 9, 2020 the Solicitor General filed a brief supporting PennEast's petition for a Writ of Certiorari.
On December 23, 2020 the NJ Attorney General filed a brief with the Supreme Court in response to the brief of the Solicitor General.
On February 3, 2021, the Supreme Court granted PennEast's petition for a Writ of Certiorari. The matter was argued before the Supreme Court on April 28, 2021 and is currently pending.

PennEast management remains committed to pursuing the project and intends to pursue all available options. SJI, along with the other partners, are intending to contribute to the project.

Our investment in PennEast totaled $86.9$93.2 million and $82.7$91.3 million as of June 30, 2020March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2019,2020, respectively. At June 30, 2020,March 31, 2021, the Company evaluated its investment in PennEast for impairment and determined there is not a triggering event for other-than-temporary impairment, and has not recorded any impairment charge to reduce the carrying value of our investment. Our evaluation considered that the pending legal and regulatory proceedings are ongoing, and the intent is to move forward with all potential legal and regulatory proceedings and other options available. Our evaluation also considered the current economic conditions as a result of COVID-19, noting that the timelines, potential options and legal and regulatory proceedings have not been materially impacted. However, it is reasonably possible that the legal and regulatory proceedings could have unfavorable outcomes, or there could be other future unfavorable developments, such as a reduced likelihood of success from development options and legal outcomes, estimated increases in construction costs, increases in the discount rate, or further significant delays, or PennEast could conclude that the project is not viable or does not go forward as actions progress. These could impact our conclusions with respect to other-than-temporary impairment and may require that we recognize an impairment charge of up to our recorded investment in the project, net of any cash and working capital. We will continue to monitor and update this analysis as required. Different assumptions could affect the timing and amount of any charge recorded in a period.

The estimated fair values of SJI's long-term debt (which includes SJG and all consolidated subsidiaries), including current maturities, as of both June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, were $2.73 billion.  The carrying amounts of SJI's long-term debt, including current maturities, as of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, were $2.68 billion and $2.54 billion, respectively. SJI's carrying amounts as of June 30, 2020 are net of unamortized debt issuance costs of $29.3 million and unamortized debt discounts of $5.3 million. SJI's carrying amounts as of December 31, 2019 are net of unamortized debt issuance costs of $25.5 million and unamortized debt discounts of $5.3 million.

The estimated fair values of SJG's long-term debt, including current maturities, as of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, were $982.9 million and $915.2 million, respectively. The carrying amounts of SJG's long-term debt, including current maturities, as of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, were $962.4 million and $965.1 million, respectively. The carrying amounts as of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019 are net of unamortized debt issuance costs of $8.9 million and $6.3 million, respectively.

OTHER FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS - The carrying amounts of SJI's and SJG's other financial instruments approximate their fair values at June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019.

SJI operates in several differentASC 280, Segment Reporting, establishes standards for reporting information about operating segments and requires that a public business enterprise report financial and descriptive information about its reportable operating segments. Operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise for which separate financial information is available that is regularly evaluated by the CODM in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance.

Beginning with the first quarter of 2021, our internal management reporting, specifically around our nonutility businesses, changed primarily due to recent acquisitions and divestitures, and new product lines entered into as a result. These were primarily within the fuel cell, solar, RNG, and retail businesses. Refer to Item 1, along with Note 1 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 8, of SJI’s and SJG's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020 for information about these acquisitions and divestitures.

As a result of these changes in our businesses, the Company realigned its operating segments. The realigned segments reflect the financial information regularly evaluated by the CODM. TheseCODM, which for SJI is the Company's Chief Executive Officer.

The operating segments are as follows:

SJG utility operations consist primarily of natural gas distribution to residential, commercial and industrial customers in southern New Jersey.
ETG utility operations consist of natural gas distribution to residential, commercial and industrial customers in northern and central New Jersey.
ELK utility operations consist of natural gas distribution to residential, commercial and industrial customers in Maryland. As discussed in Note 1, onOn July 31, 2020, SJI sold ELK to a third-party buyer.

All were approved as requested with the exception of RAC (a final rate reflecting a $6.0 million increase in revenues compared to a request of $6.1 million) and EEP (a final rate reflecting a $0.9 million increase in revenues compared to a request of $1.0 million).2021.

In February 2020, ETG entered into a Stipulation withApril 2021, the BPU andapproved the New Jersey Division of Rate Counsel extendingstipulation for ETG's new EEP program to expand its EEP through June 2020 under the previously approved budget and fromEEPs for three years effective July 2020 through December1, 2021 atauthorizing a total budget of approximately $4.2 million. The BPU issued an Order in February 2020 approving the Stipulation.

In April 2020, ETG submitted its annual filing, pursuant to the June 2019 BPU approval of the IIP, seeking a rider rate to$83.4 million which would initially increase annual revenues by approximately $6.5 million$2.8 million. This new EEP program will replace the one currently in effect. In May 2021, the BPU also approved the stipulation to reflectestablish a CIP similar to SJG's CIP, which eliminates the roll-in of approximately $60.0 million of IIP investments placed in service duringlink between usage and margin and includes a weather-related component. The CIP will become effective July 1, 2019 through June 30, 2020.The matter is currently pending BPU approval.

In June 2020, ETG submitted its annual BGSS filing, requesting a $15.5 million decrease in gas cost recoveries. with an effective date of October 1, 2020.The matter is currently pending BPU approval.

In June 2020, ETG along with the other New Jersey gas utilities filed jointly for a statewide USF rate decrease and a statewide Lifeline rate increase with effective dates of October 1, 2020 resulting in a reduction in the combined rates.The proposed revenue decrease for ETG is approximately $0.3 million. The matter is currently pending BPU approval.

Except where noted below, all regulatory assets are or are expected to be recovered through utility rate charges, as detailed in the following discussion. The Utilities are currently permitted to recover interest on Environmental Remediation Costs, SBC Receivable, EET and Pipeline Integrity Costs, while the other assets are being recovered without a return on investment.

ENVIRONMENTAL REMEDIATION COSTS - SJG and ETG have regulatory assets associated with environmental costs related to the cleanup of environmental sites. SJG has 12 sites where SJG or its predecessors previously operated gas manufacturing plants, while ETG is subject to environmental remediation liabilities associated with 5 former manufactured gas plant sitesas discussed in New Jersey. "Environmental Remediation Cost: Expended - Net" represents what was actually spent to clean upNote 15 of SJI's and SJG's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the sites, less recoveries through the RAC and insurance carriers. These costs meet the deferral requirements of ASC 980, as theyear ended December 31, 2020. The BPU allows SJG and ETG to recover such expenditures through the RAC. "Environmental Remediation Cost: Liability for Future Expenditures" relates to estimated future expenditures required to complete the remediation of these sites. SJG and ETG recorded this estimated amount as a regulatory asset with the corresponding current and noncurrent liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheets under the captions "Current Liabilities" (SJI and SJG), "Deferred Credits and Other Noncurrent Liabilities" (SJI) and "Regulatory and Other Noncurrent Liabilities" (SJG). The BPU allows SJG to recover the deferred costs not recovered from insurance carriers through their RAC mechanisms over seven-yearseven-year periods after theythe costs are incurred. Environmental remediation costs at ETG are recoverable from customers through the RAC approved by the BPU. "Insurance Recovery Receivables" represents the balance of an insurance settlement executed in the fourth quarter of 2019 with a third party. This settlement, which is expected to be received in installments through the end of 2021, will be returned to ETG's customers through the RAC. Of the original total of $20.4 million, $6.8 million was received by ETG in 2020.

DEFERRED GAS COSTS - NET - Over/under collections of gas costs are monitored through SJG's and ETG's BGSS clause. Net under-collected gas costs are classified as a regulatory asset and net over-collected gas costs are classified as a regulatory liability. Derivative contracts used to hedge natural gas purchases are also included in the BGSS, subject to BPU approval (see Note 12). SJG's balance as of both June 30, 2020March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2019 also2020 includes $22.9 million of costs related to a previous pricing dispute on a long-term gas supply contract. We believe that theThe amount paid by SJG to the third party supplier to settle the pricing dispute reflects a gas cost that ultimately will be recovered from SJG's customers through adjusted rates through the BGSS clause. The BGSS regulatory assets of SJI and SJG decreased from December 31, 2019 to June 30, 2020, primarily due to recoveries from customers exceedingclause, as approved by the actual gas commodity costs, changesBPU in valuations of hedged natural gas positions from prior periods and refunds from a third party gas supplierMay 2021 (see Note 1)7).

DEFERRED ARO COSTS - The Utilities record AROs primarily related to the legal obligation to cut and cap ETG's deferred gas distribution pipelines when taking those pipelines out of service. Deferred ARO costs represent the period to period passage of time (accretion) and the revision to cash flows originally estimated to settle the retirement obligation. Corresponding changescosts-net are made to the ARO liability, thus having no impact on earnings.over-recovered at March 31, 2021, resulting in a regulatory liability.

CIP RECEIVABLE - The CIP tracking mechanism at SJG adjusts earnings when the actual usage per customer experienced during the period varies from an established baseline usage per customer. Actual usage per customer was lessmore than the established baseline during the first sixthree months of 2020,2021, resulting in a reduction of the regulatory asset at June 30, 2020March 31, 2021 as compared to a regulatory liability at December 31, 2019.2020. This is primarily the result of warmercolder than normal weather experienced in the region during the winter months.region.

WNC - The tariffs for ETG include a weather normalization clause that reduces customer bills when weather is colder than normal and increases customer bills when weather is warmer than normal. The overall change in ETG's weather normalization from a regulatory liability at December 31, 2019 to a regulatory asset at June 30, 2020 was due to timing of collections from customers and warmer than normal weather during the winter months.

OTHER REGULATORY ASSETS - Some of the assets included in Other Regulatory Assets are currently being recoveredThe increase from ratepayers as approved by the BPU. Management believes the remaining deferredDecember 31, 2020 to March 31, 2021 is primarily related to incremental costs are probable of recovery from ratepayers through future utility rates. Included in Other Regulatory Assets for SJG is the impact of the ERIP on SJG employees, see Note 1incurred related to the Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 8 of SJI’s and SJG's Annual Report on Form 10-K forimpacts to our business from the year ended December 31, 2019. The increase in Other Regulatory Assets for SJG is primarily due to a $10.1 million reclassification of costs from Utility Plant to Regulatory Assets on the condensed consolidated balance sheet related to a previous project to re-power the former BL England facility with natural gas. RC Cape May Holdings, LLC has communicated to SJG that it no longer intends to proceed with a project to re-power the former BL England facility with natural gas. As of March 2020, SJG had determined that the project under construction will be abandoned. SJG requested that the project costs spent to date be recovered as a regulatory asset within its March 2020 rate case petition filed with the BPU. The matter is currently pending with the BPU.

COVID-19 pandemic. On July 2, 2020, the BPU issued an Order authorizing New Jersey's regulated utilities to create a COVID-19-related regulatory asset by deferring on their books and records the prudently incurred incremental costs related to COVID-19 beginning on March 9, 2020 and continuing through September 30, 2021, or 60 days after the termination of the public health emergency, whichever is later. The Company will beis required to file quarterly reports with the BPU, along with a petition of recovery of such incremental costs with the BPU by December 31, 2021 or within 60 days of the close of the tracking period, whichever is later. During the second quarterAs of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, ETG deferred $7.8 million and $5.8 million, respectively, and SJG deferred $9.0$6.8 million and $0.7$4.7 million, respectively, of incremental costs principally related to expected credit losses from uncollectibles as a result of the COVID-19

Companies with publicly traded equity securities that sponsor a postretirement benefit plan are required to fully recognize, as an asset or liability, the overfunded or underfunded status of its benefit plans and recognize changes in the funded status in the year in which the changes occur. Changes in funded status are generally reported in AOCL; however, since the Utilities recover all prudently incurred pension and postretirement benefit costs from their ratepayers, a significant portion of the changes resulting from the recording of additional liabilities under this requirement are reported as regulatory assets.

NaN contributions were made to the pension plans by either SJI or SJG during the sixthree months ended June 30, 2020March 31, 2021 or 2019.2020. Future pension contributions by SJI and SJG do 0t expect to make any contributions to the pension plans during the remainder of 2020; however, changes in future investment performance and discount rates may ultimately result in a contribution.cannot be determined at this time. Payments related to the unfunded SERP for SJG are expected to be approximately $3.7 million in 2020.2021.

The NPA for Senior Unsecured Notes issued by SJI, and the SJG bank facilities, contain a financial covenant limiting the ratio of indebtedness to total capitalization (as defined in the respective NPA or credit agreement) to not more than 0.70 to 1, measured at the end of each fiscal quarter. For SJI, the equity units are treated as equity (as opposed to how they are classified on the condensed consolidated balance sheet, as long-term debt) for purposes of the covenant calculation.

STANDBY LETTERS OF CREDIT — See Note 10. In addition, SJG has provided $25.1 million of letters of credit under a separate facility outside of the revolving credit facility to support variable-rate demand bonds issued through the NJEDA to finance the expansion of SJG’s natural gas distribution system.

EQUITY AND CONVERTIBLE UNITS - The Company has a contract obligating the holder of the unitsEquity Units to purchase from the Company, and for the Company to sell to the holder for a price in cash of $50, a certain number of shares of common stock. In April 2021, a similar contract related to SJI's Convertible Units was settled. See Note 4.

LITIGATION — SJI and SJG are subject to claims, actions and other legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business. Neither SJI nor SJG can make any assurance as to the outcome of any of these actions but, based on an analysis of these claims and consultation with outside counsel, we do not believe that any of these claims, other than described below, would be reasonably likely to have a material impact on the business or financial statements of SJI or SJG. 

In August 2018, the State of New Jersey filed a civil enforcement action against SJG and several other current and former owners of certain property in Atlantic City, NJ alleging damage to the State's natural resources and seeking payment for damages to those natural resources, where SJG and its predecessors previously operated a manufactured gas plant. Assessment of the nature and extent of the alleged damages requires substantial analysis from multiple experts. To date, discovery has not yet taken place and there is limited precedent on a number of the legal matters involved. As a result, SJG is currently evaluating the merits of the State of New Jersey'sJersey’s allegations. At this time,Consequently, SJG cannot reasonably estimate or provide an assessment of the claim or any assuranceassurances regarding its outcome.outcome; however, an adverse outcome in the litigation could have a material impact on SJG’s results of operations, financial condition, and liquidity. All parties have agreed to and begun mediation efforts. SJG intends to vigorously defend itself in this matter. This manufactured gas plant site has been fully remediated.

Liabilities related to claims are accrued when the amount or range of amounts of probable settlement costs or other charges for these claims can be reasonably estimated. For matters other than the disputes noted above, SJI has accrued approximately $4.0$4.3 million and $3.1$4.1 million related to all claims in the aggregate as of June 30, 2020March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2019,2020, respectively, of which SJG has accrued approximately $1.0 million and $0.9$1.2 million as of June 30, 2020both March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2019, respectively.2020.

ENVIRONMENTAL REMEDIATION COSTS — SJG incurred and recorded costs for environmental cleanup of 12 sites where SJG or its predecessors operated gas manufacturing plants. SJG stopped manufacturing gas in the 1950s. ETG is subject to environmental remediation liabilities associated with 5 former manufactured gas plant sites in New Jersey. These environmental remediation expenditures are recoverable from customers through rate mechanisms approved by the BPU (see Note 8). SJI and some of its nonutility subsidiaries also recorded costs for environmental cleanup of sites where SJF previously operated a fuel oil business and Morie maintained equipment, fueling stations and storage (see Note 3). ThereExcept as noted under "Litigation" above, there have been no significant changes to the status of SJI’s environmental remediation efforts since December 31, 2019,2020, as described in Note 15 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 8 of SJI’s and SJG's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019.2020.


12.    DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS:

Certain SJI subsidiaries, including SJG, are involved in buying, selling, transporting and storing natural gas and buying and selling retail electricity for their own accounts as well as managing these activities for third parties. These subsidiaries are

These contracts, which have not been designated as hedging instruments under GAAP, are measured at fair value and recorded in Derivatives - Energy Related Assets or Derivatives - Energy Related Liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheets of SJI and SJG. For SJE and SJRG contracts, the net unrealized pre-tax gains (losses) for these energy-related commodity contracts are included with realized gains (losses) in Operating Revenues – Nonutility on the condensed consolidated statements of income (loss) for SJI. These unrealized pre-tax (losses) were $(1.3)$(0.1) million and $(0.1)$(0.3) million for the three months ended June 30,March 31, 2021 and 2020, and 2019, respectively, and $(1.6) million and $(12.2) million for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. For ETG's and SJG's contracts, the costs or benefits are recoverable through the BGSS clause, subject to BPU approval. As a result, the net unrealized pre-tax gains and losses(losses) for SJG and ETG energy-related commodity contracts are included with realized gains and losses in Regulatory Assets or Regulatory Liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheets of SJI (ETG and SJG) and SJG. As of June 30, 2020March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2019,2020, SJI had $(0.2)$3.2 million and $(4.0)$2.4 million, respectively, and SJG had $2.2$0.4 million and $2.1$1.1 million, respectively, of unrealized gains (losses) included in its BGSS related to energy-related commodity contracts.

SJI, including SJG has also entered into interest rate derivatives to mitigate exposure to increasing interest rates and the impact of those rates on cash flows of variable-rate debt. These interest rate derivatives are measured at fair value and recorded in Derivatives - Other on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. Any unrealized gains and losses on these derivatives are being recorded in earnings over the remaining life of the derivative.

For SJI and SJG interest rate derivatives, the fair value represents the amount SJI and SJG would have to pay the counterparty to terminate these contracts as of those dates.


As of June 30, 2020, SJI’sMarch 31, 2021, SJG’s active interest rate swaps were as follows:

TheFor the unrealized gains and losses on interest rate derivatives that are not designated as cash flow hedges are included in Interest Charges in the condensed consolidated statements of income (loss). However, for selected interest rate derivatives at SJG, management believes that, subject to BPU approval, the market value upon termination can be recovered in rates and, therefore, these unrealized lossesgains (losses) have been included in Other Regulatory Assets in the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

Certain of SJI’s derivative instruments contain provisions that require immediate payment or demand immediate and ongoing collateralization on derivative instruments in net liability positions in the event of a material adverse change in the credit standing of SJI. The aggregate fair value of all derivative instruments with credit-risk-related contingent features that are in a liability position on June 30, 2020,March 31, 2021 is approximately $0.3 million. If the credit-risk-related contingent features underlying these agreements were triggered on June 30, 2020,not material. The amount SJI would have been required to pay to settle the instruments immediately or post collateral to its counterparties of approximately $0.2 millionif the credit-risk-related contingent features underlying these agreements were triggered on March 31, 2021 after offsetting asset positions with the same counterparties under master netting arrangements.arrangements, is also not material.


13.    FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL ASSETS AND FINANCIAL LIABILITIES:

GAAP establishes a hierarchy that prioritizes fair value measurements based on the types of inputs used for the various valuation techniques. The levels of the hierarchy are described below:

Level 1:  Observable inputs, such as quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2:  Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly; these include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets and quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active.

Level 3:  Unobservable inputs that reflect the reporting entity’s own assumptions.

Assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement requires judgment and may affect the valuation of financial assets and financial liabilities and their placement within the fair value hierarchy.

Counterparty credit risk and the credit risk of SJI are incorporated and considered in the valuation of all derivative instruments as appropriate. The effect of counterparty credit risk and the credit risk of SJI on the derivative valuations is not significant.

(A) Available-for-Sale Securities include securities that are traded in active markets and securities that are not traded publicly. The securities traded in active markets are valued using the quoted principal market close prices that are provided by the trustees and are categorized in Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy.

(B) Derivatives – Energy Related Assets and Liabilities are traded in both exchange-based and non-exchange-based markets. Exchange-based contracts are valued using unadjusted quoted market sources in active markets and are categorized in Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy - established by FASB ASC Topic 820 - “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures.”hierarchy. Certain non-exchange-based contracts are valued using indicative price quotations available through brokers or over-the-counter, on-line exchanges and are categorized in Level 2. These price quotations reflect the average of the bid-ask mid-point prices and are obtained from sources that management believes provide the most liquid market. Management reviews and corroborates the price quotations with at least one additional source to ensure the prices are observable market information, which includes consideration of actual transaction volumes, market delivery points, bid-ask spreads and contract duration. Derivative instruments that are used to limit our exposure to changes in interest rates on variable-rate, long-term debt are valued using quoted prices on commonly quoted intervals, which are interpolated for periods different than the quoted intervals, as inputs to a market valuation model. Market inputs can generally be verified and model selection does not involve significant management judgment, as a result, these instruments are categorized in Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy. For non-exchange-based derivatives that trade in less liquid markets with limited pricing information, model inputs generally would include both observable and unobservable inputs. In instances where observable data is unavailable, management considers the assumptions that market participants would use in valuing the asset or liability. This includes assumptions about market risks such as liquidity, volatility and contract duration. Such instruments are categorized in Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy as the model inputs generally are not observable. Counterparty credit risk and the credit risk of SJI are incorporated and considered in the valuation of all derivative instruments as appropriate. The effect of counterparty credit risk and the credit risk of SJI on the derivative valuations is not significant.

Significant Unobservable Inputs - Management uses the discounted cash flow model to value Level 3 physical and financial forward contracts, which calculates mark-to-market valuations based on forward market prices, original transaction prices, volumes, risk-free rate of return and credit spreads. Inputs to the valuation model are reviewed and revised as needed, based on historical information, updated market data, market liquidity and relationships, and changes in third party pricing sources. The validity of the mark-to-market valuations and changes in these values from period to period are examined and qualified against historical expectations by the risk management function. If any discrepancies are identified during this process, the mark-to-market valuations or the market pricing information is evaluated further and adjusted, if necessary.

(C) Derivatives – OtherDerivative instruments that are used to limit our exposure to changes in interest rates on variable-rate, long-term debt are valued using quoted prices on commonly quoted intervals, which are interpolated for periods different than the quoted intervals, as inputs to a market valuation model.

15.    REVENUE:

At contract inception, SJI and SJG assess the goods and services promised in all of its contracts with customers, and identify a performance obligation for each promise to transfer to a customer a distinct good or service.

Except as described below, along with the sale of MTF as noted in Note 1, thereThere have been no significant changes to the nature of the Company's revenues or the revenue recognition policies and practices of the Company since December 31, 2019,2020, which are described in Note 19 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 8 of SJI’s and SJG's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019.2020.

SJI and SJG disaggregate revenue from contracts with customers into customer type and product line. SJI and SJG have determined that disaggregating revenue into these categories achieves the disclosure objective in ASC 606 to depict how the nature, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows are affected by economic factors. Further, disaggregating revenue into these categories is consistent with information regularly reviewed by the CODM in evaluating the financial performance of SJI's operating segments. SJG only operates in the SJG Utility Operations segment. See Note 6 for further information regarding SJI's operating segments.

Disaggregated revenues from contracts with customers by both customer type and product line, are disclosed below, by operating segment (in thousands):. The presentation of disaggregated revenues for the prior periods has been revised to conform to the realignment of our operating segments as discussed in Note 6.

The SJG balance is a part of the SJG utility operatingUtility Operations segment, and is before intercompany eliminations with other SJI entities.

Revenues on the condensed consolidated statements of income (loss) that are not with contracts with customers consist of (a) revenues from alternative revenue programs at the SJG ETG and ELKETG utility operating segments (including CIP AIRP, SHARP, and WNC), (b) both utility and nonutility realized revenue from derivative contracts at the SJG and ETG utility, wholesale energyWholesale Energy Operations and retail electricRetail Services operating segments, and (c) unrealized revenues from derivative contracts of the wholesale energyWholesale Energy Operations and retail electricRetail Services operating segments (see Note 12).segments.

The Company’sUtilities' rate mechanisms that qualify as alternative revenue programs are described in Note 10 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 8 of SJI’s and SJG's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019.2020. These mechanisms are subject to compliance filings on at least an annual basis, and the tariff rate adjustments are designed to occur over this compliance period. These rate mechanisms satisfy the criteria in ASC 980-605-25-4, as (a) each mechanism is established by order of the BPU for SJG and ETG, and the MPSC for ELK;ETG; (b) the amounts recoverable under each program are determined by tracking and are probable of recovery; and (c) the adjustments to tariff rates are designed to recover from or refund to customers within a 24 month period. For each individual rate reconciling mechanism, operating revenues are recognized when allowable costs are greater than the amounts billed in the current period and are reduced when allowable costs are less than amounts billed in the current period. Total revenues arising from alternative revenue programs at SJI were $(3.1)$1.0 million and $8.8$47.7 million for the three months ended June 30,March 31, 2021 and 2020, and 2019, respectively, and $44.6 million and $21.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. Total revenues arising from alternative revenue programs at SJG were $(0.2)$(0.8) million and $8.8$37.1 million for the three months ended June 30,March 31, 2021 and 2020, and 2019, respectively, and $37.0 million and $26.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. The SJI and SJG amounts for revenues arising from alternative revenue programs were negative during the three months ended June 30, 2020 as a result of ETG's WNC program and SJG's CIP, AIRP, and SHARP programs being in a net over-collected position during the period, which caused a net reduction in operating revenues as allowable costs were less than amounts billed.

(A) Included in Accounts Receivable in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. A receivable is SJI's and SJG's right to consideration that is unconditional, as only the passage of time is required before payment is expected from the customer. All of SJI's and SJG's Accounts Receivable arise from contracts with customers.

(B) Included in Unbilled Revenues in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. All unbilled revenue for SJI and SJG arises from contracts with customers. Unbilled revenue relates to SJI's and SJG's right to receive payment for commodity delivered but not yet billed. This represents contract assets that arise from contracts with customers, which is defined in ASC 606 as the right to payment in exchange for goods already transferred to a customer, excluding any amounts presented as a receivable. The unbilled revenue is transferred to accounts receivable when billing occurs and the rights to collection become unconditional.

18.17.    GOODWILL AND IDENTIFIABLE INTANGIBLE ASSETS:

GOODWILL - Goodwill represents future economic benefits arising from other assets acquired in a business combination that are not individually identified and separately recognized. Goodwill is initially measured at cost, being the excess of the aggregate of the consideration paid or transferred over the fair value of identifiable net assets acquired. Goodwill is not amortized, but instead is subject to impairment testing on an annual basis, and between annual tests whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the fair value of a reporting unit may be below its carrying amount.

The Company performs its annual goodwill impairment test in the fourth quarteras of October 1 of each fiscal year beginningand on an interim basis as events and changes in circumstances occur that could be an indication of a potential impairment, including, but not limited to, a significant change in operating performance, the business climate, legal or regulatory factors, or a planned sale or disposition of a significant portion of the business.

The Company's impairment evaluations begin with a qualitative assessment at the reporting unit level. The reporting unit level is identified by assessing whether the components of our operating segments constitute businesses for which discrete financial information is available, whether segment management regularly reviews the operating results of those components and whether the economic and regulatory characteristics are similar. Factors utilized in the qualitative analysis performed on goodwill in our reporting units include, among other things, macroeconomic conditions, industry and market considerations, cost factors, overall financial performance, company specific operating results and other relevant entity-specific events affecting individual reporting units.

If sufficient qualitative factors exist, potential goodwill impairment is determined quantitatively. Potential impairment is identifiedevaluated quantitatively by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit to the book value, including goodwill. TheFor each reporting unit, the Company estimates the fair value of a reporting unit using a discounted cash flow analysis.  Managementanalysis (an income approach) and, for certain reporting units, management also considers other methods, which includes a market multiples analysis.analysis, and performs a weighted combination of the income approach and the market approach. Determining the fair value of a reporting unit requires judgment and the use of significant estimates and assumptions. Such estimates and assumptions include, but are not limited to, forecasts of future operating results, discount and growth rates, capital expenditures, tax rates, and projected terminal values. Changesvalues and, in estimates or the applicationcases where market multiples analysis is utilized, implied market multiples for a selected group of alternative assumptions could produce significantly different results. peer companies.

If the fair value exceeds book value, goodwill of the reporting unit is not considered impaired. If the book value exceeds fair value, an impairment charge is recognized for the excess up until the amount of goodwill allocated to the reporting unit. Changes in estimates or the application of alternative assumptions could produce significantly different results.

As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic and the resulting macroeconomic market conditions, theThe Company determined it necessary to perform a quantitative goodwill impairment analysis on the goodwill at the ETG reporting unitthat, as of March 31, 2020.2021, there were not indicators of impairment of the goodwill associated with its reporting units, and as such did not perform a quantitative analysis. The qualitative factors analyzed as described above also included macroeconomic conditions related to the COVID-19 pandemic. There were 0no impairments recorded as a result of this interim impairment test. Duringfor the second quarter of 2020, management did not identify any qualitative factors indicating that it was more likely than not that the fair value of the ETG reporting unit was less than its carrying amount.three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020. Should economic conditions deteriorate in future periods or remainbecome depressed for a prolonged period of time, estimates of future cash flows and market valuation assumptions may not be sufficient to support the carrying value, requiring impairment charges in the future.

Total goodwill of $702.1 million was recorded on the condensed consolidated balance sheets as of both June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019. As of both June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, $700.2 million was included in the ETG Utility Operations segment and $1.9 million was included in the Corporate & Services segment.


As of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, SJI had $707.0 million of goodwill, including $700.2 million in the ETG Utility Operations segment and $6.8 million included in the Retail Services segment.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Introduction

Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (Management's Discussion) analyzes the financial condition, results of operations and cash flows of SJI and its subsidiaries. It also includes management’s analysis of past financial results and potential factors that may affect future results, potential future risks and approaches that may be used to manage them. Except where the content clearly indicates otherwise, “SJI,” “we,” “us” or “our” refers to the holding company or the consolidated entity of SJI and all of its subsidiaries.

Management's Discussion is divided into the following two major sections:

SJI - This section describes the financial condition and results of operations of SJI and its subsidiaries on a consolidated basis. It includes discussions of our regulated operations, including SJG, and our non-regulated operations.

SJG - This section describes the financial condition and results of operations of SJG, a subsidiary of SJI and separate registrant, which comprises the SJG utility operations segment.

Both sections of Management's Discussion - SJI and SJG - are designed to provide an understanding of each company's respective operations and financial performance and should be read in conjunction with each other as well as in conjunction with the respective company's condensed consolidated financial statements and the combined Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in this Quarterly Report as well as SJI’s and SJG's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019.2020.

Unless otherwise noted, earnings per share amounts are presented on a diluted basis, and are based on weighted average common and common equivalent shares outstanding. SJI's and SJG's operations are seasonal and accordingly, operating results for the interim periods presented are not indicative of the results to be expected for the full fiscal year.

Critical Accounting Policies — Estimates and AssumptionsCOVID-19 — Management must make estimates- Except as noted below, the impact of COVID-19 on the financial results of the Company has not been material for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and assumptions that affect2020, respectively. For additional information related to COVID-19 and its impacts, see the amounts reported in the condensed consolidated financial statements"COVID-19" section of Item 7 "Management Discussion & Analysis of Financial Condition and related disclosures. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Certain typesResults of transactions presented in our condensed consolidated financial statements require a significant amountOperations" of judgment and estimation. These relate to regulatory accounting, derivatives, environmental remediation costs, pension and other postretirement benefit costs, revenue recognition, goodwill, and evaluation of equity method investments for other-than-temporary impairment. A discussion of these estimates and assumptions may be found in SJI's and SJG's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019.2020.

COVID-19- In March 2020, the World Health Organization classified the outbreak of COVID-19 as a pandemic. The rapid spread has resulted in worldwide shutdowns and the halting of business and personal activity as governments around the world imposed regulations to control the spread of COVID-19. As a result, the global economy has been marked by significant slowdowns and uncertainty.

Our business operations continue to function effectively during the pandemic. We are continuously evaluating the global pandemic and are taking necessary steps to mitigate known risks. We continue to closely monitor developments related to the pandemic and will adjust our actions and operations as appropriate in order to continue to provide safe and reliable service to our customers and communities while keeping employees safe. The full impact on the businesses of SJI and SJG from the pandemic, including the regulatory responses, is unknown at this time and difficult to predict as the situation remains fluid. SJI and SJG provide critical and essential services to our customers and the health and safety of our employees and customers is our first priority. SJI and SJG considered the impact of COVID-19 on the use of estimates and assumptions used for financial reporting and noted there were no material impacts on our results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, as operations and delivery of product to our customers has not been materially impacted. To date, SJI has not experienced significant reductions in sales volumes across our businesses.

SJI has been actively addressing the COVID-19 pandemic and has established a task force comprised of members of management, with the mission of ensuring the safety of individuals (customers and employees), while continuing to perform our daily responsibilities in an efficient and safe manner. SJI is following the guidance from federal, state and local authorities to help safeguard the health, safety and well-being of its employees. To date, all of our employees are currently working. The task force identified which roles are essential (i.e. need to work in field/office to conduct daily activities) and non-essential (i.e. able to perform work from a remote location) and developed a plan for all employees in non-essential roles to work remotely from home while ensuring that the appropriate safety measures are in place for all employees in essential roles in the field/office. These plans remain in place, as all employees in non-essential roles continue to work remotely despite some states, including New Jersey, easing restrictions. For employees in essential roles, safety measures include additional personal protective equipment and adjusting shifts to reduce the number of workers in close contact. Given the additional safety measures in place, and the ability for employees in non-essential roles to work remotely, we have not had a material impact on our operations as a result of these human capital constraints, and we do not believe operations will be materially impacted going forward by human capital constraints.

In order to initiate the business continuity plan, the Company has incurred operating costs for emergency supplies, cleaning services, enabling technology and other specific needs during the pandemic. SJI has incurred costs during the six months ended June 30, 2020 of $1.4 million, with $0.8 million being recorded as Property, Plant & Equipment on the condensed consolidated balance sheets, and the remaining $0.6 million recorded as Operations Expense on the condensed consolidated statements of income (loss). SJG has recorded $0.2 million of such costs, which are recorded as Property, Plant & Equipment on the condensed balance sheets. Going forward, we expect further expenses for the above mentioned items; however, we do not anticipate these expenses to be material.

The supply chain has not been materially impacted by COVID-19; this is because the Company has a large inventory of standard products such as pipe material. In addition, given that the products are considered essential products, factories are remaining open, therefore allowing materials to be replenished. The Company is actively managing the materials, supplies and contract services necessary for our operations, and does not expect a disruption to the Company's gas supply in the future.

Our infrastructure investment programs to replace and upgrade critical utility infrastructure continue to move forward. As a result of COVID-19, certain construction activity had been delayed due to some activity being ceased in accordance with directives from the Governor of New Jersey. Construction activity has since resumed given the directive from the Governor was lifted. Our infrastructure investment programs continue to move forward and we remain on track to achieve our capital spending projections in 2020; however, to the extent the pandemic worsens or a similar directive is put in place in the future for a long period of time, our capital projects could be significantly impacted.

We have considered the impact of COVID-19 on the liquidity position of the Company, and note that it has remained stable throughout this uncertain period, and SJI's and SJG's ability to borrow has not been impacted to date. Further, SJI and SJG have successfully paid off and refinanced debt, and raised equity through the ATM offering, during the second quarter of 2020. See Liquidity and Capital resources section for detailed description of borrowings entered into during the period.

As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic and the resulting macroeconomic market conditions, the Company determined it necessary to perform a quantitative goodwill impairment analysis on the goodwill at the ETG reporting unit as of March 31, 2020. There were no impairments recorded as a result of this interim impairment test. During the second quarter of 2020, management did not identify any qualitative factors indicating that it was more likely than not that the fair value of the ETG reporting unit was less than its carrying amount. See "Goodwill" below, along with Note 18 to the condensed consolidated financial statements.

We considered the impact the pandemic has had on operating revenues, noting that SJI and SJG have not seen a significant reduction in revenues as a result of the pandemic. This is due to gas and electricity being considered an essential service and continuing to be delivered timely to customers, and no delays or operational shutdowns taking place to date. Given the performance obligation is satisfied at delivery, which matches the time when the Company is able to invoice the customer, the Company is confident in being able to meet its future performance obligations. To the extent that the pandemic does impact our ability to deliver in the future, operating revenues could be impacted.

All accounts receivables arise from contracts with customers and are carried at the amount owed by customers. The provision for uncollectible accounts is established based on expected credit losses. On July 2, 2020, the BPU issued an Order authorizing New Jersey's regulated utilities to create a COVID-19-related regulatory asset by deferring on their books and records the prudently incurred incremental costs related to COVID-19 beginning on March 9, 2020 and continuing through September 30, 2021, or 60 days after the termination of the public health emergency, whichever is later. The Company will beis required to file quarterly reports with the BPU, along with a petition offor recovery of such incremental costs with the BPU by December 31, 2021 or within 60 days of the close of the tracking period, whichever is later. During the second quarter 2020,three months ended March 31, 2021, ETG deferred $1.9 million and SJG deferred $9.0$2.2 million and $0.7 million, respectively, of incremental costs principally related to expected credit losses from uncollectibles as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, specifically related to changes in payment patterns observed to date and consideration of macroeconomic factors. We have deemed these costs to be probable of recovery.recovery (see Note 8 to the condensed consolidated financial statements). The Utilities have suspendedcontinued the suspension of disconnects for nonpayment by our customers, based on orders and requests from our various regulators; these suspensions will continue until further orders are received from our regulators.

Given the impact that COVID-19 has had on the economy, on March 27, 2020 the President signed into law the CARES Act, an economic stimulus package in response to the COVID-19 global pandemic, as a way to provide relief to both businesses and individuals affectedexecutive order issued by the virus. The CARES Act contains several corporate tax provisions that could impact SJIGovernor of New Jersey, in which water, gas and SJG, including making remaining alternative minimum tax credits immediately refundable, deferring payments on social security taxes for employees, and other employee retention credits. The Company does not currently expectelectricity providers are barred from cutting services to New Jersey residents. On March 3, 2021, the CARES Act, and these provisions,Governor of New Jersey signed an executive order to have a material effect on current income tax expense or deferred tax assets/liabilities; however, we are currently evaluatingextend the overall impact of the CARES Act and note that new or additional changes to regulations in the future could have a material impact.

New Accounting Pronouncements— See detailed discussions concerning New Accounting Pronouncementsstatements and their impact on SJI and SJGrelated disclosures. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

These relate to regulatory accounting, derivatives, environmental remediation costs, pension and other postretirement benefit costs, revenue recognition, goodwill, income taxes and evaluation of equity method investments for other-than-temporary impairment. A discussion of these estimates and assumptions may be found in Item 7 in SJI's and SJG's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020.

Regulatory Actions — Other than the changes discussed in Note 7 to the condensed consolidated financial statements, there have been no significant regulatory actions since December 31, 2019.

Environmental Remediation— There have been no significant changes to the status of SJI’s and SJG's environmental remediation efforts since December 31, 2019. See detailed discussion concerning Environmental Remediation Costs in Note 15 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 8 of SJI’s and SJG's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets — Long-lived assets that are held and used are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances, such as significant adverse changes in regulation, business climate or market conditions, indicate carrying values may not be recoverable. Such reviews are performed in accordance with ASC 360. An impairment loss is indicated if the total future estimated undiscounted cash flows expected from an asset are less than its carrying value. An impairment charge is measured by the difference between an asset's carrying amount and fair value with the difference recorded within Impairment Charges on the condensed consolidated statements of income (loss). Fair values can be determined by a variety of valuation methods, including third-party appraisals, sales prices of similar assets, and present value techniques.  SJI and SJG determine the fair values by using an income approach by applying a discounted cash flow methodology to the future estimated cash flows, and include key inputs such as forecasted revenues, operating expenses and discount rates. No impairments were identified at either SJI or SJG for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 or 2019, respectively. See Note 1 to the condensed consolidated financial statements.2020.

Goodwill - See discussion on Goodwill in Note 1817 to the condensed consolidated financial statements, along with Note 21 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 8 of SJI’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019.2020.

As discussed in Note 1817 to the condensed consolidated financial statements, SJI monitors all relevant events and circumstances during the year to determine if an interim impairment test is required. Such events and circumstances include macroeconomic conditions, industry and market considerations, cost factors, overall financial performance, company specific operating results and other relevant entity-specific events affecting individual reporting units. Subsequent to December 31, 2019, certain qualitative factors were presentThe Company determined that, required the Company to perform a quantitative assessment for goodwill impairment at March 31, 2020 related to the ETG reporting unit. The qualitative factors primarily included macroeconomic conditions related to COVID-19. No impairment was recorded as a result of this interim impairment test. During the second quarter of 2020, management did not identify any qualitative factors indicating that it was more likely than not that the fair value of the ETG reporting unit was less than its carrying amount.

In preparing the goodwill impairment tests as of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the fair value2021, there were not indicators of impairment of the goodwill associated with its reporting unit was calculated usingunits, and as such did not perform a weighted combination of the income approach, which estimates fair value based on discounted cash flows, and the market approach, which estimates fair value based on market comparables within the utility and energy industries. Determining the fair value of a reporting unit requires judgment and the use of significant estimates and assumptions. Such estimates and assumptions include, but are not limited to, forecasts of future operating results capital expenditures, tax rates, and projected terminal values and assumptions related to discount and growth rates and implied market multiples for a selected group of peer companies. Based on the analysis, the fair value of the ETG reporting unit closely approached, but exceeded, its carrying amount.quantitative analysis. Should economic conditions deteriorate in future periods or remainbecome depressed for a prolonged period of time, estimates of future cash flows and market valuation assumptions may not be sufficient to support the carrying value of goodwill, requiring impairment charges in the future.

Evaluation of Equity Method Investments for Other-Than-Temporary Impairment - Our evaluation of impairment of equity method investments when conditions exist that could indicate that the fair value of the investment is less than book value includes key inputs that involve significant management judgments and estimates, including projections of the investment's cash flows, selection of a discount rate and probability weighting of potential outcomes of legal proceedings and other available options. Our evaluation also considered the current economic conditions as a result of COVID-19, noting that the timelines, potential options and legal proceedings have not been impacted. However, the legal proceedings could have unfavorable outcomes, or there could be other future unfavorable developments, such as a reduced likelihood of success from development options and legal outcomes, estimated increases in construction costs, increases in the discount rate, or further significant delays, or PennEast could conclude that the project is not viable or does not go forward as actions progress.

These could impact our conclusions with respect to other-than-temporary impairment and may require that we recognize an impairment charge of up to our recorded investment in the project, net of any cash and working capital.
See detailed discussion in Note 3 to the condensed consolidated financial statements, along with Note 3 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 8 of SJI’s and SJG's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019.


2020 related to our investment in PennEast. At March 31, 2021, the Company evaluated its investment in PennEast for impairment and determined there is not a triggering event for other-than-temporary impairment, and has not recorded any impairment charge to reduce the carrying value of our investment. Our evaluation considered that the pending legal and regulatory proceedings are ongoing, and the intent is to move forward with all potential legal and regulatory proceedings and other options available. Our evaluation also considered the current economic conditions as a result of COVID-19, noting that the timelines, potential options and legal and regulatory proceedings have not been impacted. However, the legal and regulatory proceedings could have unfavorable outcomes, or there could be other future unfavorable developments, such as a reduced likelihood of success from development options and legal and regulatory outcomes, estimated increases in construction costs, increases in the discount rate, or further

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS:

Summary:

SJI's net income for the three months ended June 30, 2020March 31, 2021 increased $10.8$27.7 million to a net loss of $2.6$128.7 million compared with the same period in 2019.2020. SJI's income from continuing operations for the three months ended June 30, 2020March 31, 2021 increased $10.7$27.7 million to a net loss of $2.6$128.8 million compared with the same period in 2019.2020. The significant drivers for the overall change were as follows (all numbers in the bullet points below are presented after-tax):

The income contribution from the wholesale energygas utility operations at SJRGSJG for the three months ended June 30, 2020March 31, 2021 increased $6.0$13.1 million to $4.7$83.6 million compared with the same period in 2019,2020, primarily due to favorable changes in base rates resulting from the completion of SJG's rate case in September 2020, along with customer growth.

The income contribution from the wholesale energy operating segment for the three months ended March 31, 2021 increased $7.6 million to $13.0 million compared with the same period in 2020, primarily due to higher margins on daily energy trading activities as well as colder weather experienced in the first quarter of 2021.

There was an income contribution of $4.0 million related to an unrealized loss recorded on interest rate derivative contracts during the first quarter of 2020 that did not recur in 2021 as these contracts were terminated during the fourth quarter of 2020.

The income contribution from the renewables operating segment for the three months ended March 31, 2021 increased $2.1 million to $1.0 million compared with the same period in 2020, primarily due to the results from the fuel cell project at Annadale, which was placed into service during the fourth quarter of 2020, along with a refund received from a third party supplier as discussed in Note 1reduced operations and maintenance expenses due to the condensed consolidated financial statements. This was partially offset with the changesale of MTF and ACB in unrealized gains and losses on forward financial contracts due to price volatility.2020.

The income contribution from the gas utility operations at ETG for the three months ended June 30, 2020March 31, 2021 increased $3.1$1.3 million to a loss of $0.8$38.0 million compared with the same period in 2019,2020, primarily due to positive margins due to favorable changes in base rates resulting from the completion of ETG's rate case in November 2019, along with customer growth and lower maintenance expenses.growth. This was partially offset with higher operations, maintenance and depreciation expenses.

The income contribution from gas utility operations at SJG for the three months ended June 30, 2020 increased $1.7 million to $3.7 million compared with the same period in 2019, primarily due to customer growth and the roll-in to rates of infrastructure program investments. Also contributing was higher investment performance and higher AFUDC income. These were partially offset with increases in depreciation and maintenance expenses.

SJI's net income for the six months ended June 30, 2020 increased $26.2 million to $98.4 million compared with the same period in 2019. SJI's income from continuing operations for the six months ended June 30, 2020 increased $26.1 million to $98.5 million compared with the same period in 2019. The significant drivers for the overall change were as follows (all numbers in the bullet points below are presented after-tax):

The income contribution from the wholesale energy operations at SJRG for the six months ended June 30, 2020 increased $12.9 million to $10.1 million compared with the same period in 2019, primarily due to higher margins on daily energy trading activities, along with a refund received from a third party supplier as discussed in Note 1 to the condensed consolidated financial statements. Also contributing to the increase was the change in unrealized gains and losses on forward financial contracts due to price volatility.

The income contribution from the gas utility operations at ETG for the six months ended June 30, 2020 increased $9.0 million to $35.9 million compared with the same period in 2019, primarily due to positive margins due to favorable changes in base rates resulting from the completion of ETG's rate case in November 2019, along with customer growth and lower maintenance expenses. This was partially offset with higher operations and depreciation expenses.

The income contribution from gas utility operations at SJG for the six months ended June 30, 2020 increased $3.5 million to $74.2 million compared with the same period in 2019, primarily due to customer growth and the roll-in to rates of infrastructure program investments. SJG's utility margin increased from its CIP mechanism as discussed in "Utility Margin - SJG Utility Operations" below. These were partially offset with increases in depreciation and maintenance expenses, along with a one-time tax adjustment resulting from SJG's Stipulation of Settlement with the BPU as part of its recent rate case filing (see Note 7 to the condensed consolidated financial statements).

A significant portion of the volatility in operating results is due to the impact of the accounting methods associated with SJI’s derivative activities. SJI uses derivatives to limit its exposure to market risk on transactions to buy, sell, transport and store natural gas and to buy and sell retail electricity. SJI also usespreviously used derivatives to limit its exposure to increasing interest rates on variable-rate debt.

Table of Contents
The types of transactions that typically cause the most significant volatility in operating results are as follows:

The wholesale energy operations at SJRG purchases and holds natural gas in storage and maintains capacity on interstate pipelines to earn profit margins in the future. The wholesale energy operations utilizeSJRG utilizes derivatives to mitigate price risk in order to substantially lock-in the profit margin that will ultimately be realized. However, both gas stored in inventory and pipeline capacity are not considered derivatives and are not subject to fair value accounting. Conversely, the derivatives used to reduce the risk associated with a change in the value of inventory and pipeline capacity are accounted for at fair value, with changes in fair value recorded in operating results in the period of change. As a result, earnings are subject to volatility as the market price of derivatives change, even when the underlying hedged value of inventory and pipeline capacity are unchanged. Additionally, volatility in earnings is created when realized gains and losses on derivatives used to mitigate commodity price risk on expected future purchases of gas injected into storage are recognized in earnings when the derivatives settle, but the cost of the related gas in storage is not recognized in earnings until the period of withdrawal. This volatility can be significant from period to period. Over time, gains or losses on the sale of gas in storage, as well as use of capacity, will be offset by losses or gains on the derivatives, resulting in the realization of the profit margin expected when the transactions were initiated.

The retail electric operations at SJE useuses forward contracts to mitigate commodity price risk on fixed price electric contracts with customers. In accordance with GAAP, the forward contracts are recorded at fair value, with changes in fair value recorded in earnings in the period of change. Several related customer contracts are not considered derivatives and, therefore, are not recorded in earnings until the electricity is delivered. As a result, earnings are subject

to volatility as the market price of the forward contracts change, even when the underlying hedged value of the customer contract is unchanged. Over time, gains or losses on the sale of the fixed price electric under contract will be offset by losses or gains on the forward contracts, resulting in the realization of the profit margin expected when the transactions were initiated.

As a result, management also uses the non-GAAP financial measures of Economic Earnings and Economic Earnings per share when evaluating its results of operations. These non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered as an alternative to GAAP measures, such as net income, operating income, earnings per share from continuing operations or any other GAAP measure of financial performance.

We define Economic Earnings as: Income from continuing operations,Continuing Operations, (i) less the change in unrealized gains and plus the change in unrealized losses on non-utility derivative transactions; (ii) less income and (ii)plus losses attributable to noncontrolling interest; and (iii) less the impact of transactions, contractual arrangements or other events where management believes period to period comparisons of SJI's operations could be difficult or potentially confusing. With respect to part (ii)(iii) of the definition of Economic Earnings, several items are excluded from Economic Earnings for the three and six months ended June 30,March 31, 2021 and 2020, and 2019, consisting of the impact of pricing disputes with third parties, costs to acquire ETG and ELK, costs to prepare to exit the TSA, costs incurred and gains recognized on sales of solar, MTF/ACB, and ELK, costs incurred to cease operations at three landfill gas-to-energy-production facilities, severance and other employee separation costs, and a one-time tax adjustment resulting from SJG's Stipulation of Settlement with the BPU. Seeare described in (A)-(E)(D) in the table below.

Economic Earnings is a significant financial measure used by our management to indicate the amount and timing of income from continuing operations that we expect to earn after taking into account the impact of derivative instruments on the related transactions, as well as the impact of contractual arrangements and other events that management believes make period to period comparisons of SJI's operations difficult or potentially confusing. Management uses Economic Earnings to manage its business and to determine such items as incentive/compensation arrangements and allocation of resources. Specifically regarding derivatives, we believe that this financial measure indicates to investors the profitability of the entire derivative-related transaction and not just the portion that is subject to mark-to-market valuation under GAAP. We believe that considering only the change in market value on the derivative side of the transaction can produce a false sense as to the ultimate profitability of the total transaction as no change in value is reflected for the non-derivative portion of the transaction.

Economic Earnings for the three months ended June 30, 2020March 31, 2021 increased $11.4$22.1 million to a loss of $0.9$128.9 million compared with the same period in 2019. The significant drivers for the overall change were as follows (all numbers in the bullet points below are presented after-tax):

The Economic Earnings contribution from the wholesale energy operations at SJRG for the three months ended June 30, 2020 increased $7.7 million to $5.7 million compared with the same period in 2019, primarily due to higher margins on daily energy trading activities, along with a refund received from a third party supplier as discussed in Note 1 to the condensed consolidated financial statements.

The Economic Earnings contribution from gas utility operations at ETG for the three months ended June 30, 2020 increased $3.1 million to a loss of $0.8 million compared with the same period in 2019, primarily due to positive margins due to favorable changes in base rates resulting from the completion of ETG's rate case in November 2019, along with customer growth and lower maintenance expenses.

Operating Revenues - SJG Utility Operations

Revenues from the gas utility operations at SJG increased $24.9$10.7 million, or 40.0%4.4%, for the three months ended June 30, 2020March 31, 2021 compared with the same period in 2019.2020. Excluding intercompany transactions, revenues increased $25.6$5.5 million, or 41.9%2.3%, for the three months ended June 30, 2020March 31, 2021 compared with the same period in 2019.2020. The significant drivers for the overall change were as follows:

Total firm revenue increased $29.8$4.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020March 31, 2021 compared with the same period in 2019,2020, primarily due to higher base rates effective October 1, 2020, along with customer growth, a higher BGSS refundpartially offset with decreased revenue related to customers in 2019 compared to 2020, and colder weather during the second quarter of 2020.SJG's BGSS. While changes in gas costs and BGSS recoveries/refunds fluctuate from period to period, SJG does not profit from the sale of the commodity. Therefore, corresponding fluctuations in Operating Revenue or Cost of Sales have no impact on profitability, as further discussed below under the caption "Utility Margin."

Partially offsetting these increases wasIn addition, OSS which decreased $4.0increased $6.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020March 31, 2021 compared with the same period in 2019,2020, primarily due to decreased commodity costs ascolder weather during the first quarter of 2021. During February 2021, SJG's service territory experienced a result of lower cash marketpolar vortex, pushing gas prices to high levels and lower demand.creating sales opportunities for SJG. However, the impact of changes in OSS activity does not have a material impact on the earnings of SJG, as SJG is required to return 93% of the profits of such activity to its ratepayers. Earnings from OSS can be seen in the “Margin” table above.

Revenues from the gas utility operations at SJG decreased $6.6 million, or 2.0%, for the six months ended June 30, 2020 compared with the same period in 2019. Excluding intercompany transactions, revenues decreased $5.6 million, or 1.7%, for the six months ended June 30, 2020 compared with the same period in 2019. The significant drivers for the overall change were as follows:

Total OSS decreased $10.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020 compared with the same period in 2019 primarily due to lower commodity costs as a result of lower cash market prices and lower demand, along with warmer weather during the first quarter of 2020. However, the impact of changes in OSS do not have a material impact on the earnings of SJG as discussed above.

Table of Contents
Partially offsetting these decreases was firm revenue, which increased $3.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020 compared with the same period in 2019 primarily due to customer growth and a higher BGSS refund to customers in 2019 compared to 2020. Partially offsetting this increase was warmer weather during the first quarter of 2020. SJG does not profit from the sale of the commodity as discussed above.

Utility Margin - SJG Utility Operations

Management uses Utility Margin, a non-GAAP financial measure, when evaluating the operating results of SJG. Utility Margin is defined as natural gas revenues plus depreciation and amortization expenses, less natural gas costs, regulatory rider expenses and related volumetric and revenue-based energy taxes. Management believes that Utility Margin provides a more meaningful basis for evaluating utility operations than revenues since natural gas costs, regulatory rider expenses and related energy taxes are passed through to customers, and since depreciation and amortization expenses are considered to be administrative. Natural gas costs are charged to operating expenses on the basis of therm sales at the prices approved by the BPU through SJG’s BGSS clause. Non-GAAP financial measures are not in accordance with, or an alternative to, GAAP and should be considered in addition to, and not as a substitute for, the comparable GAAP measure.

Table of Contents
Total Utility Margin increased $1.1$16.7 million, or 2.1%, and $8.2 million, or 4.3%11.3%, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, respectively,March 31, 2021 compared with the same periodsperiod in 2019.2020. The increase is primarily due to favorable changes in base rates resulting from the completion of SJG's rate case in September 2020, along with customer growth and the roll-ingrowth. The decrease in revenues from SJG's BGSS clause had no impact to rates of infrastructure program investments. Also contributing toSJG's Utility Margin as discussed under "Operating Revenues - SJG Utility Operations" above. Partially offsetting SJG's Utility Margin is the CIP tracking mechanism, which adjusts earnings when actual usage per customer experienced during the period varies from an established baseline usage per customer. As reflected in the Utility Margin table above and the CIP table in SJG's Management Discussion section, changes year over year to the CIP mechanism are primarily due to variation in customer usage compared to the same period in 2019. Partially offsetting the six month comparative period increases is warmer weather in the first three months of 2020 compared to the same period in the prior year.2020.

The significant drivers for the overall change were as follows:

Revenues from wholesale energy operations at SJRG, net of intercompany transactions, decreased $25.0increased $133.1 million to $101.5 million and decreased $86.6 million to $229.8$261.5 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, respectively,March 31, 2021 compared with the same periodsperiod in 2019,2020 primarily due to lower salesrevenues earned on fuelgas supply management contracts, that SJRG has with severalincluding two electric generation facilities which was a result of decreasesthat began operating after March 31, 2020, along with increases in the average monthly NYMEX settle price. Also contributing to the six month comparative period decrease was maintenanceprice and scheduled outages at these electric generation facilities duringcolder weather experienced in the first quarter of 2020. Also impacting the comparative period revenues was the change in unrealized gains and losses recorded on forward financial contracts due to price volatility, which is excluded for Economic Earnings and represented a total decrease of $3.2 million and a total increase of $7.7 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, respectively, compared with the same periods in 2019. As discussed in Note 1 to the condensed consolidated financial statements, revenues and expenses related to the energy trading activities of the wholesale energy operations at SJRG are presented on a net basis in Operating Revenues – Nonutility on the condensed consolidated statement of income (loss).2021.

Revenues from retail electric operations at SJE,services, net of intercompany transactions, decreased $9.1$8.7 million to $10.0 million and decreased $19.1 million to $21.6$3.8 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, respectively,March 31, 2021 compared with the same periodsperiod in 2019,2020 primarily due to lower overall sales volumes as SJE didchose not to renew several contracts that have expired over the last twelve months. Partially offsetting this decreaseThis was partially offset with revenues earned at EnerConnex, which became a wholly-owned subsidiary in the change in unrealized gains and losses recorded on forward financial contracts due to price volatility, which is excluded for Economic Earnings and represented a total increasesecond half of $2.1 million and $3.0 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, respectively, compared with the same periods in 2019.2020.

SJE uses forward financial contracts to mitigate commodity price risk on fixed price electric contracts. In accordance with GAAP, the forward financial contracts are recorded at fair value, with changes in fair value recorded in earnings in the period of change. The related customer contracts are not considered derivatives and, therefore, are not recorded in earnings until the electricity is delivered. As a result, earnings are subject to volatility as the market price of the forward financial contracts change, even when the underlying hedged value of the customer contract is unchanged. Over time, gains or losses on the sale of the fixed price electric under contract will be offset by losses or gains on the forward financial contracts, resulting in the realization of the profit margin expected when the transactions were initiated. The retail electric operations at SJE serve both fixed and market-priced customers.

As discussed in Note 1 to the condensed consolidated financial statements, revenues and expenses related to the energy trading activities of the wholesale energy operations at SJRG are presented on a net basis in Operating Revenues – Nonutility on the condensed consolidated statement of income.

Net Cash Provided by Financing Activities$(96,098)$(152,191)

Cash Flows from Operating Activities — Liquidity needs are first met with net cash provided by operating activities. Net cash provided by operating activities totaled $206.3 million and $216.1 million in the first six months of 2020 and 2019, respectively. Net cash provided by operating activities varies from year-to-year primarily due to the impact of weather on customer demand and related gas purchases, customer usage factors related to conservation efforts and the price of the natural gas commodity, inventory utilization, and gas cost recoveries. Cash flows provided by operating activities in the first sixthree months of 20202021 produced lessmore net cash than the same period in 2019,2020, primarily due to lower revenues on fuel supply management contracts at SJRG (see "Operating Revenues-Energy Group") along with the timing of a refund from a third party gas supplier that was received in July (see Note 1 to the condensed consolidated financial statements). These changes are partially offset with higher ETGfollowing: (1) SJG revenues due to favorable changes in base rates resulting from the completion of ETG'sSJG's rate case in November 2019 (see "ETG Utility Operations").September 2020; (2) higher margins and increased collections on daily energy trading activities at SJRG; and (3) customer growth at ETG.

Cash Flows from Investing Activities — SJI has a continuing need for cash resources and capital, primarily to invest in new and replacement facilities and equipment. Net cash outflows from investing activities, which are primarily construction projects, for the first six months of 2020 and 2019 amounted to $135.1 million and $222.2 million, respectively. We estimate the cash outflows for investing activities, net of refinancings and returns/advances on investments from affiliates, for fiscal years 2020, 2021, 2022 and 20222023 at SJI to be approximately $491.3$801.5 million, $777.3$758.3 million and $650.1$701.3 million, respectively. The high level of investing activities for 2020, 2021, 2022 and 20222023 is due to the accelerated infrastructure investment programs and future capital expenditures at SJG and ETG, projected investment in PennEast, in 2021 and 2022, and investments in future renewable energy projects.projects including efforts to meet our decarbonization goals, which were announced in April 2021. targeting 70% reduction in emissions by 2030 and 100% by 2040, with at least 25% of capital spending annually in support of sustainability investments. SJI expects to use short-term borrowings under lines of credit from commercial banks and a commercial paper program to finance these investing activities as incurred. From time to time, SJI may refinance the short-term debt with long-term debt.

Other keysignificant investing activities of SJI during the first sixthree months of 20202021 and 20192020 were as follows:

SJI received approximately $97.0 million from the sale of MTF and ACB during the sixthree months ended June 30,March 31, 2020. See Note 1 to the condensed consolidated financial statements.

During the six months ended June 30, 2020, SJI paid $2.8 million to acquire ESNJ-AL-Somerspoint LLC, ESNJ-AL-Hamiltonsquare LLC, and ESNJ-AL-BrownsMills LLC, which own and operate solar-energy projects in New Jersey. See Note 17 to the condensed consolidated financial statements.

SJI received approximately $7.2 million and $24.3 million during the first six months of 2020 and 2019, respectively, from the sale of certain solar assets. See Note 1 toassets during the condensed consolidated financial statements.

During the first sixthree months of 2020 and 2019, SJI made net investments in unconsolidated affiliates of $2.0 million and $3.9 million, respectively.ended March 31, 2020.

During the first six months of 2019, SJI received $15.6 million as an adjustment to the purchase price related to the Acquisition.

Cash Flows from Financing Activities — Short-term borrowings from the commercial paper program and lines of credit from commercial banks are used to supplement cash flows from operations, to support working capital needs and to finance capital expenditures and acquisitions as incurred. From time to time, short-term debt incurred to finance capital expenditures is refinanced with long-term debt.

The Utilities' (including SJG) facilities are restricted as to use and availability specifically to the respective Utilities; however, if necessary, the SJI facilities can also be used to support liquidity needs of the Utilities. All committed facilities contain one financial covenant limiting the ratio of indebtedness to total capitalization of the applicable borrowers (as defined in the respective credit agreements), measured on a quarterly basis. SJI and the Utilities were in compliance with these covenants as of June 30, 2020. Borrowings under these credit facilities are at market rates.

SJI's weighted average interest rate on these borrowings (inclusive of SJG, ETG and SJIU), which changes daily, was 1.27% and 3.45% at June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. SJG's weighted average interest rate on these borrowings, which changes daily, was 0.74% and 2.60% at June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

SJI's average borrowings outstanding under these credit facilities (inclusive of SJG, ETG and SJIU), not including letters of credit, during the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019 were $595.3 million and $347.2 million, respectively. The maximum amounts outstanding under these credit facilities, not including letters of credit, during the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019 were $872.2 million and $687.2 million, respectively.

SJG's average borrowings outstanding under these credit facilities during the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019 were $146.3 million and $72.5 million, respectively. The maximum amount outstanding under its credit facilities during the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019 were $171.7 million and $108.0 million, respectively.

Based upon the existing credit facilities and a regular dialogue with our banks, we believe there will continue to be sufficient credit available to meet our business’ future liquidity needs.

The SJI and the Utilities (including SJG) principal credit facilities are provided by a syndicate of banks. The NPA for Senior Unsecured Notes issued by SJI, and the SJG bank facilities, contain a financial covenant limiting the ratio of indebtedness to total capitalization (as defined in the respective NPA or credit agreement) to not more than 0.70 to 1, measured at the end of each fiscal quarter. For SJI, the equity units are treated as equity (as opposed to how they are classified on the condensed consolidated balance sheet, as long-term debt) for purposes of the covenant calculation. SJI and SJG were in compliance with these covenants as of June 30, 2020.

SJG has a commercial paper program under which SJG may issue short-term, unsecured promissory notes to qualified investors up to a maximum aggregate amount outstanding at any time of $200.0 million. The notes have fixed maturities which vary by note, but may not exceed 270 days from the date of issue. Proceeds from the notes are used for general corporate purposes. SJG uses the commercial paper program in tandem with its $200.0 million revolving credit facility and does not expect the principal amount of borrowings outstanding under the commercial paper program and the credit facility at any time to exceed an aggregate of $200.0 million.

SJI supplements its operating cash flow, commercial paper program and credit lines with both debt and equity capital. Over the years, SJG has used long-term debt, primarily in the form of First Mortgage Bonds and Medium Term Notes, secured by the same pool of utility assets, to finance its long-term borrowing needs. These needs are primarily capital expenditures for property, plant and equipment.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES:

Liquidity and capital resources for SJG are substantially covered in the Management’s Discussion of SJI (except for the items and transactions that relate to SJI and its nonutility subsidiaries). Those explanations are incorporated by reference into this discussion.

Liquidity needs for SJG are driven by factors that include natural gas commodity prices; the impact of weather on customer bills; lags in fully collecting gas costs from customers under the BGSS charge, settlement of legal matters, and environmental remediation expenditures through the RAC; the timing of construction and remediation expenditures and related permanent financings; mandated tax payment dates; both discretionary and required repayments of long-term debt; and the amounts and timing of dividend payments.

Cash flows for the period were the following (in thousands):


Three months ended March 31, 2021Three months ended March 31, 2020
Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities$125,284 $86,431 
Net Cash Used in Investing Activities(64,233)(56,136)
Net Cash Used in Financing Activities(50,009)(29,400)

Cash Flows from Operating Activities - Liquidity needs are first met with net cash provided by operating activities. Net cash provided by operating activities totaled $125.5 million and $126.3 million in the first six months of 2020 and 2019, respectively. Net cash provided by operating activities varies from year-to-year primarily due to the impact of weather on customer demand and related gas purchases, customer usage factors related to conversion efforts and the price of the natural gas commodity, inventory utilization, and gas cost recoveries. Cash flows provided by operating activities in the first sixthree months of 2020 compared to2021 produced more net cash than the same period in 2019, did not change significantly.2020, primarily due to higher revenues due to favorable changes in base rates resulting from the completion of SJG's rate case in September 2020.

Cash Flows from Investing Activities - SJG has a continuing need for cash resources for capital expenditures, primarily to invest in new and replacement facilities and equipment. SJG estimates the net cash outflows for capital expenditures for fiscal years 2020, 2021, 2022 and 20222023 to be approximately $283.3$275.0 million, $320.2$240.5 million and $327.1$325.4 million, respectively. For capital expenditures, including those under the AIRP and SHARP, SJG expects to use short-term borrowings under both its commercial paper program and lines of credit from commercial banks to finance capital expenditures as incurred. From time to time, SJG may refinance the short-term debt incurred to support capital expenditures with long-term debt.

Cash Flows from Financing Activities - SJG supplements its operating cash flow and credit lines with both debt and equity capital. Over the years, SJG has used long-term debt, primarily in the form of First Mortgage Bonds and Medium Term Notes, secured by the same pool of utility assets, to finance its long-term borrowing needs. These needs are primarily capital expenditures for property, plant and equipment.

See SJI's Management Discussion section above.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

SJI:

Commodity Market Risks — Certain SJI subsidiaries, including SJG, are involved in buying, selling, transporting and storing natural gas, and buying and selling retail electricity, for their own accounts as well as managing these activities for third parties. These subsidiaries are subject to market risk on expected future purchases and sales due to commodity price fluctuations. To hedge against this risk, SJI enters into a variety of physical and financial transactions including forward contracts, swaps, futures and options agreements. To manage these transactions, SJI has a well-defined risk management policy approved by SJI's Board of Directors that includes volumetric and monetary limits. Management reviews reports detailing activity daily. Generally, the derivative activities described above are entered into for risk management purposes.

As part of its gas purchasing strategy, SJG and ETG use financial contracts to hedge against forward price risk. These contracts are recoverable through SJG's and ETG's BGSS, subject to BPU approval.

SJRG manages risk for its own portfolio by entering into the types of transactions noted above. The retail electric operations of SJE use forward physical and financial contracts to mitigate commodity price risk on fixed price electric contracts. It is management's policy, to the extent practical, within predetermined risk management policy guidelines, to have limited unmatched positions on a deal or portfolio basis while conducting these activities. As a result of holding open positions to a minimal level, the economic impact of changes in value of a particular transaction is substantially offset by an opposite change in the related hedge transaction.

Interest Rate Risk — Our exposure to interest-rate risk relates to short-term and long-term variable-rate borrowings. Variable-rate debt outstanding, including short-term and long-term debt, at June 30, 2020March 31, 2021 was $652.8$196.2 million and averaged $1.0 billion$531.7 million during the first sixthree months of 2020.2021. A hypothetical 100 basis point (1%) increase in interest rates on our average variable-rate debt outstanding would result in a $7.7$3.9 million increase in our annual interest expense, net of tax. The 100 basis point increase was chosen for illustrative purposes, as it provides a simple basis for calculating the impact of interest rate changes under a variety of interest rate scenarios. Over the past five years, the change in basis points (b.p.) of our average monthly interest rates from the beginning to end of each year was as follows: 2020 - 152 b.p. decrease; 2019 - 64 b.p. decrease; 2018 - 91 b.p. increase; 2017 - 82 b.p. increase; and 2016 - 47 b.p. increase; and 2015 - 14 b.p. increase. At June 30, 2020,March 31, 2021, our average interest rate on variable-rate debt was 2.15%1.27%.

Item l. Legal Proceedings

Information required by this Item for SJI and SJG is incorporated by reference to Part I, Item 1, Note 11, Litigation.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

Other than described below, there have been no material changes in the risk factors for SJI or SJG from those disclosed in Item 1A of SJI’s and SJG's Annual Reports on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019.2020.

Public health crisesWe issued additional securities in March and epidemics or pandemics, suchApril 2021, and, as a novel coronavirus, could materiallyresult, we are subject to market risks including market demand for our debt and adversely affectequity securities.

We have obtained financing which includes common stock and Equity Units.

Among other risks, the increase in our indebtedness may:

• make it more difficult for us to repay or refinance our debts as they become due during adverse economic and industry conditions;
• limit our flexibility to pursue other strategic opportunities or react to changes in our business and the industry in which we operate and, consequently, place us at a competitive disadvantage to competitors with less debt;
• require an increased portion of our cash flows from operations to be used for debt service payments, thereby reducing the availability of cash flows to fund working capital, capital expenditures, dividend payments and financial condition. Our business could be materially and adversely affected byother general corporate purposes;
• result in a public health crisis or the widespread outbreak of contagious disease, such as the recent outbreak of respiratory illness caused by a novel coronavirus (COVID-19), which has been declared a pandemic by the World Health Organization in March 2020. In recent weeks, the continued spread of COVID-19 across the world has led to disruption and volatilitydowngrade in the global capital markets, which increases the cost of capital and adversely impacts access to capital. Additionally, our reliance on third-party suppliers, contractors, service providers, and commodity markets exposes us to possibility of delay or interruptioncredit rating of our operations. For the duration of the outbreak of COVID-19, legislative and government action limitsindebtedness, which could limit our ability to collectborrow additional funds or increase the interest rates applicable to our indebtedness;
• result in higher interest expense in the event of increases in market interest rates for both long-term debt as well as short-term commercial paper, bank loans or borrowings under our line of credit at variable rates;
• reduce the amount of credit available to support hedging activities; and
• require that additional terms, conditions or covenants be placed on overdue accounts,us.

Among other risks, the issuance of additional equity by SJI may:

• be dilutive to our existing shareholders and prohibits us from shutting off services, which may cause a decrease inearnings per share;
• impact our cash flows or net income. We have been executing our business continuity plans since the outbreak of COVID-19capital structure and are closely monitoring potential impacts due to COVID-19 pandemic responses at the state and federal level. As expected, we have incurred operating costs for emergency supplies, cleaning services, enabling technology and other specific needs during this crisis which have traditionally been recognized as prudent expenditures by our regulators. The effectscost of the pandemic also may have a material adversecapital;
• be adversely impacted by movements in the overall equity markets or the utility or natural gas utility industry sectors of that market, which could impact onthe offering price of any new equity or necessitate the use of other equity or equity-like instruments such as preferred stock, convertible preferred shares, or convertible debt; and
• impact our ability to collect accounts receivablemake our current and future dividend payments, or make future dividend payments at similar amounts per share as customers face higher liquidity and solvency risks. Currently, the impact of the pandemic to the collectability of our accounts receivable is an unknown and continues to be monitored, but such receivables have traditionally been included in rate recovery. Our infrastructure investment programs continue to move forward, and construction activity that was delayed in accordance with directives from the Governor of New Jersey have since continued; however, to the extent the pandemic worsens or a similar directive is put in place in the future for a long period of time, our capital projects could be significantly impacted. It is impossible to predict the effect of the continued spread of the coronavirus in the communities we service. Should the coronavirus continue to spread or not be contained, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be materially impacted, including impairment of goodwill or access to capital markets, which in turn may have a negative effect on the market price of our common stock.
