CFC Tabulates Initial Results for 2018 Key Ratio Trend Analysis
DULLES, Va., April 15, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The National Rural Utilities Cooperative Finance Corporation (CFC) has analyzed preliminary data for its 2018 Key Ratio Trend Analysis (KRTA), an annual assessment of financial trends among electric distribution cooperatives nationwide. CFC expects to release final KRTA numbers in June.
Preliminary KRTA results are based on data submitted by 596 electric distribution cooperatives for the year ending Dec. 31, 2018. Notable trends include a 6.68 percent increase in kilowatt-hour (kWh) sales for the typical cooperative—that compares with a median 1.02 percent decline posted in 2017.
Electric cooperatives also continued to maintain strong financial metrics. The median system’s equity as a percentage of assets inched up to 45.39 percent in 2018 from 45.27 percent in 2017; median modified debt service coverage (MDSC) and times interest earned ratio (TIER) were 1.87 and 2.79, respectively.
