32.5 Million Engines Later, Honda's Ohio Plant Turns 40

32.5 Million Engines Later, Honda's Ohio Plant Turns 40

Miami Herald3 days ago
Honda is celebrating 40 years of engine production at its Anna Engine Plant in Ohio. What started as a modest motorcycle engine facility in the mid-80s has grown into the company's largest engine plant in the world. As Honda shifts toward hybrid and electric power, shown by models like the new hybrid Prelude, the Anna plant is evolving to keep pace with the future of mobility.
Since opening its doors in 1985, the Anna Engine Plant has built over 32.5 million engines. That includes everything from basic four-cylinders for the Civic to high-output V6s found in Acura performance cars and SUVs. Back then, it was a 200,000 square-foot facility with fewer than 100 workers. Today, it covers 2.8 million square feet and supports nearly 3,000 employees. The plant currently produces a wide range of four-cylinder and V6 engines, including turbocharged and hybrid variants. It also makes essential components like cylinder heads, camshafts, crankshafts, and the precision pulleys used in Honda's CVTs.
Engines from Anna have powered some of Honda's most iconic vehicles. The plant builds the 190-hp 1.5-liter turbo used in the Civic, Accord, CR-V, and Acura Integra, as well as the 315-hp 2.0-liter turbo found in the Civic Type R and Integra Type S. It even produced the 500-hp 3.5-liter twin-turbo V6 that lived in the second-generation Acura NSX supercar. But Anna's output isn't all about performance. It's also behind the hybrid engines that help fuel-efficient models like the Accord and CR-V deliver impressive fuel economy. It's clear as day that the Anna Engine Plant has played a huge role in shaping Honda and Acura's lineup across North America.
While gas and hybrid engines are still a major focus, Anna is already preparing for Honda's next chapter. The plant has started producing aluminum battery cases for upcoming EVs, using cutting-edge processes like megacasting, Minimum Quantity Lubrication machining, and friction stir welding. These battery cases will be shipped to the Marysville Auto Plant, where they'll be paired with battery modules to power the next generation of Honda and Acura electric vehicles, including the Honda Prologue. Full EV production is set to begin in Ohio in 2026. With four decades of experience and a clear role in Honda's future, the Anna Engine Plant continues to be a key part of the company's evolution.

AMERICAN WATER REPORTS SOLID SECOND QUARTER RESULTS; NARROWS 2025 EPS GUIDANCE TO TOP HALF OF RANGE; AFFIRMS LONG-TERM TARGETS

BUSINESS WIRE)--American Water Works Company, Inc. (NYSE: AWK) today reported results for the quarter ended June 30, 2025, of $1.48 per share, compared to $1.42 per share for the same quarter in 2024 and $2.53 per share for the year-to-date period ended June 30, 2025, compared to $2.37 per share for the same period in 2024. 'The company delivered solid results for the first half of the year,' said John Griffith, President and CEO of American Water. 'We are excited about the outlook for growth in the business, the foundation of which is continued investment in the communities we currently serve. We are also pleased with the positive momentum in our acquisition growth strategy, including the recently announced transaction to purchase Nexus Water Group systems in eight of our existing regulated states,' added Griffith. 'Through this and other announced transactions, we will grow and continue to leverage our scale and size to deliver safe, clean, reliable and affordable water and wastewater services to customers.' 2025 EPS Guidance Narrowed to Top Half of Range; Long-Term Financial Targets Affirmed The company's 2025 earnings per share guidance range is now $5.70 to $5.75, narrowed from the previous EPS guidance range of $5.65 to $5.75, on a weather-normalized basis. Both ranges include approximately $0.10 per share of incremental interest income resulting from the early 2024 amendment to the terms of the secured seller note receivable from the 2021 sale of HOS. The company affirms its long-term financial targets, including its long-term EPS and dividend growth rate targets of 7-9%. The company's earnings forecasts are subject to numerous risks and uncertainties, including, without limitation, those described under 'Cautionary Statement Concerning Forward-Looking Statements' below and under 'Risk Factors' in its annual, quarterly, and current reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission ('SEC'). Consolidated Results For the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, earnings per share were $1.48 and $2.53 compared to $1.42 and $2.37 per share in the same periods in 2024. Results include increased revenues from implementation of new rates in the Regulated Businesses from the recovery of capital and acquisition investments. Results also reflect increased operating costs and higher depreciation and financing costs to support the current capital investment plan. Results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 compared to the same periods in 2024, reflect an estimated net unfavorable impact of weather of $0.06 per share, including an estimated $0.03 per share of unfavorable impact due to wet weather in the second quarter of 2025, across many states, and an estimated $0.03 per share of favorable impact due to warm, dry weather in the second quarter of 2024, primarily in New Jersey. The company is on track to meet its capital investment plan for the year with investment of $1.3 billion in the first six months of 2025. The company plans to invest a total of approximately $3.3 billion across its footprint in 2025. Regulated Businesses In the second quarter of 2025, the Regulated Businesses' net income was $288 million, compared to $274 million for the same period in 2024. For the first six months of 2025, the Regulated Businesses' net income was $489 million, compared to $459 million for the same period in 2024. Operating revenues increased $121 million and $242 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, respectively, as compared to the same periods in 2024. The increase in operating revenues was primarily a result of authorized revenue increases from completed general rate cases and infrastructure proceedings for the recovery of incremental capital and acquisition investments, as well as incremental revenue from closed acquisitions. Since January 1, 2025, the company has been authorized additional annualized revenues of $270 million, with $232 million from general rate cases and $38 million from infrastructure surcharges. The company has general rate cases in progress in three jurisdictions and has filed for an infrastructure surcharge in one jurisdiction, reflecting a total annualized revenue request of $126 million. Operating expenses were higher by $83 million and $161 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, respectively, as compared to the same periods in 2024. Operating expenses were higher primarily due to an increase in employee related costs and technology related costs, as well as general taxes associated with increased capital investment, and other operation and maintenance costs related to acquisitions closed in 2024. Operating expenses also include depreciation expense, which was higher by $28 million and $57 million in the same periods, due to the increase in capital investment. Interest expense was higher by $14 million and $31 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, respectively, as compared to the same periods in 2024, as a result of incremental short and long-term debt primarily to fund capital investments. Dividends On July 30, 2025, the company's Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend payment of $0.8275 per share, payable on September 3, 2025, to shareholders of record as of August 12, 2025. 2025 Second Quarter Earnings Conference Call The conference call to discuss second quarter 2025 earnings, 2025 earnings guidance, and long-term targets will take place on Thursday, July 31, 2025, at 9 a.m. Eastern Time.

A detailed reconciliation between GAAP results and results excluding certain items ('non-GAAP') is included in the following tables attached to this document. In situations where a non-GAAP reconciliation has not been provided, the Company was unable to provide such a reconciliation without unreasonable effort due to the uncertainty and inherent difficulty predicting the occurrence, the financial impact and the periods in which the non-GAAP adjustments may be recognized. Management uses non‐GAAP measures that exclude certain items in order to better assess operating performance and help investors compare results with our previous guidance. This document also references 'free cash flow', a non-GAAP measure, which the Company defines as cash flow from operations less additions to property, plant and equipment and purchased software. The Company's non‐GAAP information is not necessarily comparable to the non‐GAAP information used by other companies. Non‐GAAP information should not be viewed as a substitute for, or superior to, net income or other data prepared in accordance with GAAP as a measure of the Company's profitability or liquidity. Readers should consider the types of events and transactions for which adjustments have been made.
