Peer Comparison

1. Industry-wide analysis: When analyzing the overall change in industry-wide operating revenue, if the industry as a whole shows a growth trend, Avista's revenue growth may indicate that the company's performance is better than its competitors; otherwise, attention should be paid to the company's own operating strategies and market positioning.
