</div>Spire Inc. faces several challenges and risks, including:
<div class="lb-trans">Spire Inc.面临多项挑战和风险，包括：
</div><ul>
<li>Regulatory and Legislative Risks: The company faces significant regulatory and legislative risks, particularly related to climate change initiatives that could increase compliance costs and impact demand for natural gas. The potential enactment of new regulations or changes in existing laws could adversely affect operations and financial results. The SEC's climate disclosure rules, although currently stayed, could require significant expenditures if implemented.</li>
<li>Operational Risks: The Utilities are subject to regulation by federal, state, and local authorities, which impacts rates, costs, and profitability. There is a risk of disallowance of cost recovery, which could affect financial results. The expiration of the ISRS statute in 2029 poses a risk to revenue timing and cash flows. Operational risks include the potential for significant costs and liabilities due to federal safety and integrity regulations related to pipeline and storage operations. The rescission of the PHMSA advisory bulletin adds uncertainty to future regulatory requirements.</li>
<li>Environmental and Legal Risks: Environmental laws and regulations may require significant expenditures, and the overturning of the Chevron Doctrine adds uncertainty to regulatory interpretations. The Utilities' liquidity may be affected by delays in cost recovery due to regulation. The company is exposed to risks from changes in income tax policy, which could impact the value of net operating losses and financial results. Legal proceedings could also adversely affect financial condition if outcomes require payments beyond provisions.</li>
<li>Market and Competitive Risks: Commodity markets and derivative instruments are regulated, and new developments could impact Spire Marketing's operations. The company faces risks from market competition, which could affect customer retention and acquisition.</li>
<li>Acquisition Risks: The acquisition of Piedmont Natural Gas's Tennessee business presents risks, including potential delays in regulatory approvals and integration challenges. The transaction is expected to close in early 2026, subject to conditions.</li>
<li>Market Risks: The company is exposed to market risks from natural gas price fluctuations, which could impact liquidity and financial results. The use of derivative instruments to hedge risks may not fully protect against volatility.</li>
<li>Operational Disruptions: Operational risks include the potential for disruptions in natural gas supply and transportation, which could affect financial performance. The company is also vulnerable to cyberattacks, which could disrupt operations and lead to financial losses.</li>
<li>Economic and Accounting Risks: The company's financial condition could be impacted by economic downturns, which may reduce energy consumption and affect customer payments. Changes in accounting standards could also affect financial results.</li>
