The company stated that their revenues went down as well from $1.9 billion in 2011 to $1.66 billion this year.

The company said that the country had a warm winter this time and therefore the utility sales were not as per what they expected. The company also said that in the year 2011 the country had cooler winters and therefore customers used more electricity which actually helped them to improve their profits. The company has announced that although they have had a poor start they will continue to have steady earnings throughout the year.
