Southwest Gas Holdings, Inc., the 10-K for 2025

Southwest Gas Holdings is a holding company headquartered in Las Vegas, Nevada, that owns Southwest Gas, a regulated natural gas utility serving parts of Arizona, Nevada and California. The holding company is incorporated in Delaware and Southwest Gas in California. As of December 31, 2025 Southwest Gas bought and distributed or transported natural gas to approximately 2,281,000 residential, commercial and industrial customers, and it added 37,000 first-time meter sets in 2025.

Centuri and the segments

Until August 2025 it reported two segments, natural gas distribution through Southwest Gas and utility infrastructure services through Centuri. It took Centuri public on April 22, 2024 and then sold its remaining interests in a series of transactions, deconsolidating Centuri after an August 11, 2025 sale and selling its last shares on September 5, 2025. Since then its business has been only natural gas distribution. It also owned MountainWest until February 14, 2023.

Gas distribution

Southwest Gas buys, distributes and transports natural gas for heating, cooking and other household needs and for commercial and industrial customers. Its rates, practices, facilities and service territories are regulated by the state commissions it calls the ACC, the PUCN and the CPUC, and certain accounting practices, transmission facilities and rates are subject to regulation by FERC. Its rate structures in all three states decouple the recovery of operating margin from the amount of gas customers use, and purchased gas adjustment provisions let it change rates as its cost of gas changes. Transportation of gas that customers buy themselves made up 41% of total system throughput in 2025, with 83.7 million dekatherms moved. Demand is seasonal, peaking in the colder winter months, and deliveries follow a state priority system that serves residential and other small customers before large interruptible users.

Supply and storage

In 2025 Southwest Gas bought natural gas from 44 suppliers, using a mix of spot and firm purchases with terms from one day to several years, and it runs a separate supply portfolio for each of its jurisdictions. Its subsidiary Great Basin owns the FERC-regulated transmission and LNG storage facilities in northern Nevada, and NV Energy, which serves Reno and Sparks, also transports gas on the Great Basin system. For Arizona it operates a 233,000 dekatherm above-ground LNG regasification facility in southern Arizona.

People

At December 31, 2025 Southwest Gas had 2,453 regular full-time equivalent employees.

Read moreFree cash flow is operating cash flow less capital expenditure; the effective tax rate is income tax over pre-tax income; margins are the line over revenue. Gross profit is revenue less cost of revenue, and operating income is revenue less the company's own total costs, where the statement does not print those lines. Those four are arithmetic on the filed numbers; everything else is as filed. Money is in $ million as the company files it, or in $ billion by the switch above the tables; per share figures and share counts are as they are.
