Properties, in its own words

Southwest Gas is engaged in the retail transmission, distribution, transportation and sale of natural gas for domestic, commercial, agricultural and industrial uses in Arizona, Nevada, and California. Service areas in Arizona includes Phoenix Tucson and surrounding communities. Service areas in Nevada include the Las Vegas valley and surrounding communities in Clark County in the south and the Lake Tahoe area to Elko and surrounding communities in the north. Service areas in California include high desert communities in San Bernardino County in the south and in communities in Placer, El Dorado and Nevada counties in the Lake Tahoe area in the northern part of the state.

Southwest Gas, through two subsidiaries, operates two primary pipeline transmission systems:

The rest of Item 2

•a system (including an LNG storage facility) owned by Great Basin extending from the Idaho-Nevada border to the Reno, Sparks, and Carson City areas and communities in the Lake Tahoe area in both California and Nevada and other communities in northern and western Nevada; and

•a system owned by Southwest Gas Transmission Company extending from the Colorado River at the southern tip of Nevada to the Las Vegas distribution area.

The plant investment of Southwest Gas consists primarily of transmission and distribution mains, compressor stations, peak shaving/storage facilities, service lines, meters, and regulators, which comprise the pipeline systems and facilities located in and around the communities served. Southwest Gas also includes other properties such as land, buildings, furnishings, work equipment, vehicles, and software systems in utility plant. Total gas plant, including construction work in progress, at December 31, 2025, was $11.8 billion at Southwest Gas. It is the opinion of management that the properties of Southwest Gas are suitable and adequate for its purposes. Subject to approval from FERC to construct and operate the system expansion, Great Basin estimates a potential estimated capital investment of approximately $1.7 billion in the next three years with an expected in-service date of late 2028.

Substantially all gas main and service lines are constructed across property owned by others under right-of-way grants obtained from the record owners thereof, under the streets and on the grounds of municipalities under authority conferred by franchises or otherwise, or beneath public highways or public lands under authority of various federal and state statutes. None of the numerous county and municipal franchises are exclusive, and some are of limited duration. These franchises are renewed regularly as they expire, and Southwest Gas anticipates no serious difficulties in obtaining future renewals.

With respect to the right-of-way grants, Southwest Gas generally has had continuous and uninterrupted possession and use of such rights-of-way, and the associated gas mains and service lines, commencing with the initial stages of construction of such facilities. Permits have been obtained from public authorities and other governmental entities in certain instances to cross or to install facilities through public lands and along roads and highways. These permits typically are revocable at the election of the grantor, and Southwest Gas occasionally must relocate its facilities when requested to do so by the grantor. Permits have also been obtained from railroad companies to cross over or under railroad lands or rights-of-way, which in some instances require annual or other periodic payments and are revocable at the election of the grantors.

The story

The company was founded in Barstow, California, in 1931, and soon expanded to the nearby town of Victorville. Natural gas was brought into southern Nevada in 1953, and Southwest Gas began service to the burgeoning communities of Las Vegas and Henderson the following year.

On January 24, 1956, Southwest Gas Corporation became a publicly owned company. Expansion into Arizona occurred in 1957 with the acquisition of Natural Gas Service of Arizona, which served customers in Gila, Greenlee, and Pinal counties.

In 1963, with the completion of a 250-mile pipeline in northern Nevada, the company was able to grow once again by extending its service territory to include Carson City. Several years later it began serving customers as far east as Elko in the northern part of the state. Expansion also occurred during this time in California with expansion from its Victorville operations to Big Bear.

During the next several decades the company made several more acquisitions and expanded in parts of its tri-state service territory. In 1979, the purchase of the gas system of what is now Tucson Electric Power, and the 1984 purchase of the gas system of Arizona Public Service Company, added the Phoenix area to the company's customer base. During a time of unprecedented growth in the desert Southwest, Southwest Gas was serving some of the fastest-growing areas in the country. In 2005, the company acquired service territory in South Lake Tahoe from Avista, enabling it to serve customers contiguously around Lake Tahoe in California and Nevada. The company is the largest distributor of natural gas in Arizona and Nevada.

Risk factors and legal proceedings

The risks Southwest Gas names in Item 1A of its 10-K filed Feb 25, 2026: 29 risks under these headings, as written.17

  • Operational Risks
  • Southwest Gas relies on having access to interstate pipelines’ transportation capacity, including extractive‑sector supply paths and midstream pipeline infrastructure. If these pipelines and related transportation capacity were not available, it could impact Southwest Gas’ ability to meet customers’ full requirements.
  • Failure to attract and retain an appropriately qualified employee workforce, including executives and other management, could adversely affect our collective operations and ability to timely deploy on our plans.
  • Limited availability of contract labor and critical materials could delay or increase the cost of the Great Basin Expansion Project
  • Certain of our costs, such as operating expenses (including labor, fuel, and materials) at Southwest Gas, and interest and general and administrative expenses at both Southwest Gas and the Company could be adversely impacted by periods of heightened inflation, which could have an adverse impact on our results of operations.
  • The nature of our operations presents inherent risks of loss that could adversely affect our results of operations.
  • Regulatory and legislative developments related to climate change, renewable portfolio standards, or costs for renewables, may adversely affect our operations and financial results.
  • Southwest Gas may be impacted by the effects of weather and climate change, including physical and transition risks.
  • A cybersecurity incident has the potential to disrupt normal business operations, expose sensitive and confidential customer, employee or Company information, and/or lead to physical damages, and may result in legal claims or damage to our reputation.
  • The failure of technology may hinder the Company’s business operations and adversely affect its financial condition and results of operations.
  • Our operations are subject to increased competition.
  • The concentration of our operations in the States of Arizona, Nevada and California exposes our operations and financial results to economic conditions, weather patterns, and regulatory decisions in Arizona, Nevada, and California.
The other 18 risks
  • Financial, Economic, and Market Risks
  • As a holding company, the Company depends on our operating subsidiary, Southwest Gas, to meet financial obligations.
  • Southwest Gas’ liquidity, and in certain circumstances, its earnings, may be reduced from historical amounts or expectations during periods in which natural gas prices are rising significantly or are more volatile.
  • Southwest Gas’ earnings may be materially impacted due to volatility in the cash surrender value of our COLI policies during periods in which stock market changes are significant.
  • The cost of providing pension and postretirement benefits is subject to changes in pension asset values, changing demographics, and actuarial assumptions which may have an adverse effect on our financial results.
  • Uncertain economic conditions may affect Southwest Gas’ ability to finance capital expenditures, including the Great Basin Expansion Project.
  • Our business could be negatively affected as a result of actions of activist stockholders.
  • Increases in market interest rates may have an adverse effect on the market price of our common stock.
  • The Company identified a material weakness in the Company's internal control over financial reporting, which could impact the Company's ability to report its results of operations and financial condition accurately and in a timely manner.
  • Our regulated operations plant and other assets may be subject to impairment in the future.
  • Regulatory, Legislative, and Legal Risks
  • The Company is currently subject to, and may in the future be subject to, litigation or threatened litigation, which may result in liability exposure that could have a material adverse effect on its business and results of operations.
  • Governmental policies and regulatory actions can reduce or impact the stability of Southwest Gas’ earnings or cash flows.
  • Southwest Gas may be subject to increased costs related to the operation of natural gas pipelines under regulations concerning natural gas pipeline safety, which could have an adverse effect on our results of operations, financial condition, and/or cash flows.
  • Southwest Gas’ delivery and related systems require numerous permits and other approvals from various federal, state, and local governmental agencies, and others, including for pipeline expansion or infrastructure development; any failure to obtain or maintain required permits or approvals, or other factors that could prevent or delay planned development, could negatively affect our business and results of operations.
  • General Risks
  • The Company’s operating results may be adversely impacted by an economic downturn.
  • A significant reduction in the Company’s and Southwest Gas’ credit ratings could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations.
  • We may pursue acquisitions, divestitures, and other strategic opportunities which, if not successful, may adversely impact our results of operations, cash flows and financial condition.
  • Natural disasters, public health crises and epidemic or pandemic related illness, war, or terrorist activities, and other extreme events could adversely affect the Company’s business, results of operations, financial condition, liquidity, and/or cash flows.
  • If securities or industry analysts do not publish research or reports or publish unfavorable research or reports about our business, our stock price and trading volume could decline.
