Item 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure.
Black Hills Corporation’s management will meet with analysts and investors at the Credit Suisse Energy Summit Conference on February 25 and at the UBS Utilities and Natural Gas Conference on March 3, 2015 to discuss Black Hills Corporation’s operations and business plans. Black Hills Corporation will reaffirm 2015 earnings guidance of $2.80 to $3.00 per diluted share.
Interested investors may access the presentation materials at the following URL: http://www.blackhillscorporation.com
Our 2015 earnings guidance includes “forward-looking statements” as defined by the Securities and Exchange Commission, or SEC. We make these forward-looking statements in reliance on the safe harbor protections provided under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These forward-looking statements are based on assumptions which we believe are reasonable based on current expectations and projections about future events and industry conditions and trends affecting our business. However, whether actual results and developments will conform to our expectations and predictions is subject to a number of risks and uncertainties that, among other things, could cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in the forward-looking statements, including without limitation, the risk factors described in Item 1A of Part I of our 2013 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC, and other reports that we file with the SEC from time to time.
New factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those described in forward-looking statements emerge from time-to-time, and it is not possible for us to predict all such factors, or the extent to which any such factor or combination of factors may cause actual results to differ from those contained in any forward-looking statement. We assume no obligation to update publicly any such forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.
