PPL Corporation Reports 2010 Earnings

ALLENTOWN, Pa. (Feb. 4, 2011) ― PPL Corporation (NYSE: PPL) on Friday (2/4) reported increases in both fourth-quarter and full-year earnings for 2010, compared with the same periods of 2009.
PPL’s reported earnings for the fourth quarter of 2010 were $0.73 per share, compared with $0.40 per share a year ago. For the full year 2010, PPL’s reported earnings were $2.17 per share, compared with $1.08 per share for 2009.
Excluding special items, PPL’s earnings from ongoing operations were $0.83 per share in the fourth quarter of 2010, compared with $0.52 per share a year ago. For all of 2010, earnings from ongoing operations were $3.13 per share, compared with $1.95 per share for 2009, exceeding the midpoint of the company’s most recent 2010 forecast of earnings from ongoing operations of $2.87 per share.
Both reported earnings and earnings from ongoing operations reflect dilution associated with PPL’s June 2010 issuance of common stock and equity units related to its Nov. 1, 2010, acquisition of E.ON U.S., owner of Louisville Gas and Electric Company and Kentucky Utilities Company. The impact of this financing reduced PPL’s per share earnings from ongoing operations for the fourth quarter and full year 2010 by $0.26 and $0.49 per share, respectively. The financing reduced reported earnings by $0.23 and $0.36 per share for these periods.
The Kentucky regulated segment contributed $0.12 per share in earnings from ongoing operations for 2010, offset by $0.06 per share of dilution.
“Our 2010 per share earnings from ongoing operations are more than 60 percent higher than in 2009. The performance of our competitive supply segment accounted for most of this 2010 growth,” said James H. Miller, PPL’s chairman, president and chief executive officer.
PPL said the main drivers of improved performance in 2010 versus the midpoint of its most recent earnings forecast were the $0.12 per share of ongoing earnings from the Kentucky segment and $0.12 per share of income tax benefits, driven primarily by the release of deferred tax valuation allowances related to state net operating loss carryforwards
PPL Friday also announced a 2011 earnings forecast of $2.40 to $2.60 per share, with a midpoint of $2.50 per share. Miller said PPL is projecting that about half of its 2011 earnings will come from its regulated businesses, a substantial increase over the 27 percent contribution in 2010 earnings from ongoing operations.
“Our strategic actions of the past year have very clearly strengthened our financial position and improved our overall risk profile,” said Miller. “For 2011 and beyond, we expect that our growing regulated businesses will produce an increasing proportion of our earnings, reducing our relative exposure to commodity market swings. In addition, our competitive supply segment is well-positioned to benefit when wholesale electricity markets rebound.”
2010 Earnings Details
PPL’s reported earnings for 2010 included net special item charges totaling $0.96 per share, compared with net special item charges totaling $0.87 in 2009.
The major special item charges in 2010 were $0.67 per share for costs and charges related to the Kentucky acquisition and $0.27 per share for energy-related economic activity.
Reported earnings are calculated in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) in the U.S. Earnings from ongoing operations is a non-GAAP financial measure that is adjusted for special items. Special items include the impact of energy-related economic activity (principally changes in fair value of economic hedges and the ineffective portion of qualifying cash flow hedges), as well as other impacts fully detailed at the end of this news release.

Key Factors Impacting Segment Earnings from Ongoing Operations
International Regulated Segment
PPL’s international regulated segment primarily includes the U.K. regulated electric delivery operations of Western Power Distribution.
Segment earnings from ongoing operations in 2010 declined by $0.19 per share compared with 2009. This decline was primarily the net result of higher financing costs, higher pension expense and higher income taxes, which were partially offset by higher electric delivery revenue and more favorable foreign currency effects. Dilution for 2010 was $0.07 per share.
Segment earnings from ongoing operations declined in the fourth quarter of 2010 by $0.11 per share compared with a year ago. This decline was primarily the net result of higher income taxes, higher pension expense and higher financing costs, which were partially offset by higher electric delivery revenue. Dilution for the fourth quarter was $0.02 per share.
Pennsylvania Regulated Segment
PPL’s Pennsylvania regulated segment includes the regulated electric delivery operations of PPL Electric Utilities.
Segment earnings from ongoing operations in 2010 declined by $0.08 per share compared with 2009. This decline was primarily the net result of higher operation and maintenance expense and lower distribution revenue, which were partially offset by higher transmission revenue and lower financing costs. Dilution for 2010 was $0.03 per share.
Segment earnings from ongoing operations declined in the fourth quarter of 2010 by $0.04 per share compared with a year ago. This decline was primarily the result of lower distribution revenue and higher operation and maintenance expense. Dilution for the fourth quarter was $0.02 per share.
Supply Segment
PPL’s supply segment primarily consists of domestic electricity generation and the marketing operations of PPL Energy Supply.
Segment earnings from ongoing operations in 2010 increased by $1.39 per share compared with 2009. This increase resulted primarily from significantly higher sales prices for Eastern baseload generation, due to the expiration of the provider-of-last-resort contract at the end of 2009, combined with higher hedged prices established over the past few years and lower income taxes. The lower income taxes primarily resulted from the release of deferred tax valuation allowances related to Pennsylvania net operating loss carryforwards of $0.16 per share. These benefits were partially offset by higher operation and maintenance expense, higher depreciation and higher average fuel costs. Dilution for 2010 was $0.33 per share.
Segment earnings from ongoing operations increased by $0.39 per share in the fourth quarter of 2010 compared with a year ago. The increase was primarily the net result of the same factors that drove overall 2010 earnings for this segment, except that operation and maintenance expenses were lower in the fourth quarter of 2010 compared with the same period of 2009. Dilution for the fourth quarter was $0.17 per share.

* The 2010 earnings for the Kentucky regulated segment only include results for November and December, partially offset by the interest expense associated with the equity units issued in June 2010 related to the acquisition of E.ON U.S.
A full year of earnings from the Kentucky regulated segment is the largest positive driver of PPL’s 2011 projected earnings. Partially offsetting this benefit is dilution of $0.34 per share associated with PPL’s June 2010 issuance of common stock.
Kentucky Regulated Segment
The projected 2011 segment earnings represent a full year of earnings versus two months in 2010. This segment’s 2011 earnings are expected to be generally driven by high-performing utilities in the progressive state regulatory environment and by the results of electric and gas base rate increases that became effective Aug. 1, 2010. Dilution for 2011 is expected to be $0.01 per share.
International Regulated Segment
After adjusting for dilution of $0.06 per share, PPL expects segment earnings in 2011 to be comparable with 2010 earnings. This is primarily the result of higher electric delivery revenue and a more favorable currency exchange rate offset by higher income taxes, higher depreciation and higher financing costs.
Pennsylvania Regulated Segment
PPL projects higher segment earnings in 2011 compared with 2010 due to higher distribution revenues resulting from an approved distribution base rate increase effective Jan. 1, 2011. Dilution for 2011 is expected to be $0.03 per share.
Supply Segment
PPL expects lower segment earnings in 2011 compared with 2010 as a result of lower energy margins driven by lower energy and capacity prices in the East, higher average fuel costs, and higher operation and maintenance expense. Dilution for 2011 is expected to be $0.24 per share.
PPL Corporation, headquartered in Allentown, Pa., owns or controls about 19,000 megawatts of generating capacity in the United States, sells energy in key U.S. markets, and delivers electricity and natural gas to about 5.2 million customers in the United States and the United Kingdom. More information is available at www.pplweb.com.

(Note: All references to earnings per share in the text and tables of this news release are stated in terms of diluted earnings per share.)
Conference Call and Webcast
PPL invites interested parties to listen to a live Internet webcast of management’s teleconference with financial analysts about annual and fourth-quarter 2010 financial results at 9 a.m. EST Friday, Feb. 4. The meeting is available online live, in audio format, along with slides of the presentation, on PPL’s website: www.pplweb.com. The webcast will be available for replay on the PPL website for 30 days. Interested individuals also can access the live conference call via telephone at 702-696-4769 (ID# 35502001).
“Earnings from ongoing operations” should not be considered as an alternative to reported earnings, or net income attributable to PPL, which is an indicator of operating performance determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). PPL believes that “earnings from ongoing operations,” although a non-GAAP financial measure, is also useful and meaningful to investors because it provides management’s view of PPL’s fundamental earnings performance as another criterion in making investment decisions. PPL’s management also uses “earnings from ongoing operations” in measuring certain corporate performance goals. Other companies may use different measures to present financial performance.
“Earnings from ongoing operations” is adjusted for the impact of special items. Special items include:
|
·
|
Energy-related economic activity (as discussed below).
|
|
·
|
Foreign currency-related economic hedges.
|
|
·
|
Gains and losses on sales of assets not in the ordinary course of business.
|
|
·
|
Impairment charges (including impairments of securities in the company’s nuclear decommissioning trust funds).
|
|
·
|
Workforce reduction and other restructuring impacts.
|
|
·
|
Costs and charges related to the acquisition of E.ON U.S.
|
|
·
|
Other charges or credits that are, in management’s view, not reflective of the company’s ongoing operations.
|
Energy-related economic activity includes the changes in fair value of positions used economically to hedge a portion of the economic value of PPL’s generation assets, load-following and retail activities. This economic value is subject to changes in fair value due to market price volatility of the input and output commodities (e.g., fuel and power). Also included in this special item are the ineffective portion of qualifying cash flow hedges and the premium amortization associated with options classified as economic activity. These items are included in ongoing earnings over the delivery period of the item that was hedged or upon realization. Management believes that adjusting for such amounts provides a better matching of earnings from ongoing operations to the actual amounts settled for PPL’s underlying hedged assets. Please refer to the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements and MD&A in PPL Corporation’s periodic filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission for additional information on energy-related economic activity.
Statements contained in this news release, including statements with respect to future events and their timing, including statements concerning the Nov. 1, 2010, acquisition by PPL Corporation of E.ON U.S. LLC and its subsidiaries Louisville Gas and Electric Company and Kentucky Utilities Company (collectively, the “Kentucky Entities”), the expected results of operations of any of the Kentucky Entities or PPL Corporation, as well as statements as to future earnings, energy prices, margins and sales, growth, revenues, expenses, cash flow, credit profile, ratings, financing, asset disposition, marketing performance, hedging, regulation, corporate strategy and generating capacity and performance, are “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the federal securities laws. Although PPL Corporation believes that the expectations and assumptions reflected in these forward-looking statements are reasonable, these expectations, assumptions and statements are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties, and actual results may differ materially from the results discussed in the statements. The following are among the important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from the forward-looking statements: capital market conditions and decisions regarding capital structure; the market prices of equity securities and the impact on pension income and resultant cash funding requirements for defined benefit pension plans; the securities and credit ratings of PPL Corporation and its subsidiaries; stock price performance; receipt of necessary government permits, approvals, rate relief and regulatory cost recovery; market demand and prices for energy, capacity and fuel; weather conditions affecting customer energy usage and operating costs; competition in power markets; the effect of any business or industry restructuring; the profitability and liquidity of PPL Corporation, the Kentucky Entities and either of their subsidiaries; new accounting requirements or new interpretations or applications of existing requirements; operating performance of plants and other facilities; environmental conditions and requirements and the related costs of compliance, including environmental capital expenditures and emission allowance and other expenses; system conditions and operating costs; development of new projects, markets and technologies; performance of new ventures; asset acquisitions and dispositions; any impact of hurricanes or other severe weather on our business, including any impact on fuel prices; the impact of state, federal or foreign investigations applicable to PPL Corporation, the Kentucky Entities and either of their subsidiaries; the outcome of litigation against PPL Corporation, the Kentucky Entities and either of their subsidiaries; political, regulatory or economic conditions in states, regions or countries where PPL Corporation, the Kentucky Entities and either of their subsidiaries conduct business, including any potential effects of threatened or actual terrorism or war or other hostilities; foreign exchange rates; new state, federal or foreign legislation, including new tax or environmental legislation or regulation; and the commitments and liabilities of PPL Corporation, the Kentucky Entities and each of their subsidiaries. Any such forward-looking statements should be considered in light of such important factors and in conjunction with PPL Corporation’s Form 10-K and other reports on file with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
