Operational Earnings Highlights for First Quarter 2012
|
·
|
Utility results were lower due primarily to higher income tax expense associated with the write off of a regulatory asset, lower net revenue and higher non-fuel operation and maintenance expense.
|
|
·
|
Entergy Wholesale Commodities earnings decreased due to lower net revenue and higher non-fuel operation and maintenance expense.

“While we had a number of tactical and strategic successes during the quarter, financial results were negatively impacted by a number of items,” said J. Wayne Leonard, Entergy’s chairman and chief executive officer. “We continue to make good progress on our previously announced strategic initiatives related to our transmission business, including our efforts to join MISO, the Midwest Independent Transmission System Operator, Inc. Last week, the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission approved MISO’s cost allocation methodology for transmission projects once Entergy completes its planned integration into MISO. This decision ensures that Entergy’s customers will pay only for transmission projects that benefit them, and widens the pathway to a seamless integration into MISO and an opportunity for customers to realize up to $1.4 billion of projected savings in the first 10 years.
“We’re focused on these major initiatives and all aspects of our business, remaining attentive to safety, operational excellence, risk mitigation, potential growth opportunities and preserving sound creditworthiness.”

Utility
In first quarter 2012, Utility’s earnings were $62.9 million, or 35 cents per share, on an as- reported basis and $68.7 million, or 38 cents per share, on an operational basis, compared to $164.3 million, or 91 cents per share, on both as-reported and operational bases in first quarter 2011. Earnings for the Utility in the current quarter reflect higher income tax expense, lower net revenue and higher non-fuel operation and maintenance expense.

Higher income tax expense resulted from Entergy recording an adjustment to write off a net regulatory asset for income taxes to align the financial accounting with the actual ratemaking treatment. The adjustment increased income tax expense by approximately $46 million. Entergy Gulf States Louisiana determined that its regulatory asset for income taxes was overstated because there was a difference between the regulatory treatment of income taxes associated with certain items (primarily pension expense) and the financial accounting treatment of those taxes. Electric retail rates were developed using the normalization method of accounting for income taxes, while the financial accounting assumed the flow through method of accounting. As a result, Entergy Gulf States Louisiana had a regulatory asset representing expected future recovery of a portion of income tax expense, while the tax expense was already being collected in rates and would not be recovered in the future.
Utility net revenue was lower than the same quarter last year. The decrease in net revenue was attributable to significantly milder-than-normal weather experienced in the first quarter of 2012 compared to significantly colder-than-normal weather in the same period a year ago. The effect of milder weather was partially offset by weather-adjusted sales growth. The higher non-fuel operation and maintenance expense was driven by increases in compensation and benefit costs (largely post-employment benefits), fossil-related outage costs and the absence of nuclear insurance refunds received in 2011.
Residential sales in first quarter 2012, on a weather-adjusted basis, increased 2.6 percent compared to first quarter 2011. Commercial and governmental sales, on a weather-adjusted basis, increased 2.4 percent quarter over quarter. Industrial sales in the first quarter increased 4.6 percent compared to the same quarter of 2011. Overall retail sales growth on a weather-adjusted basis was 3.3 percent for the quarter. The Louisiana jurisdictions - including the city of New Orleans - recorded the strongest results for residential sales growth. Industrial sales growth was largely due to expansions. This sector saw growth from both large and small industrial customers. Improvements in chemicals were partially offset by declines in refineries and pipelines.

Entergy Wholesale Commodities
Entergy Wholesale Commodities reported a loss of $168.5 million, or 95 cents per share, on an as-reported basis for first quarter 2012, compared to earnings of $122.6 million, or 68 per cents per share, for first quarter 2011. On an operational basis, Entergy Wholesale Commodities earnings were $55.0 million, or 31 cents per share, in first quarter 2012, compared to $122.6 million, or 68 cents per share, in first quarter 2011.
Entergy Wholesale Commodities operational adjusted EBITDA (earnings before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, and interest and investment income excluding decommissioning expense and special items) was $144 million in the first quarter of 2012, compared to $253 million in the same period a year ago. The decline was largely due to lower net revenue from the nuclear portfolio on lower energy pricing. The average realized revenue per megawatt hour for the nuclear fleet was approximately $50, down 12 percent from $57 in the same period last year. Nuclear generation also declined slightly due primarily to an increase in refueling and other outage days. These net revenue decreases were partially offset by higher net revenue from the Rhode Island State Energy Center, which was acquired in December 2011. Higher non-fuel operation and maintenance expense also contributed to the operational adjusted EBITDA decline driven by higher compensation and benefits expense (largely related to post-employment benefits) and the Rhode Island State Energy Center acquisition.

In addition to the drivers noted above, an asset impairment recorded in the first quarter of the current year contributed to the as-reported decrease. Under generally accepted accounting principles, power plants and other long-lived assets are generally required to be accounted for on a historical cost basis, unless a triggering event occurs which requires an impairment evaluation. In the case of Vermont Yankee, as described in our prior financial statement filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, Entergy has performed quarterly impairment evaluations since early 2010, triggered by state actions to shut down the plant early. A number of factors and inputs are used in the Vermont Yankee impairment evaluation, including the status of pending legal and state regulatory matters, as well as assumptions about future revenues and costs of the plant. Under the accounting rules, these inputs are required to be estimated as of the end of each quarterly period. The decline in the overall energy market and forward price of energy at March 31, 2012, which is used as an input in the current accounting analysis, yielded a different impairment result now as compared to earlier quarters, resulting in a pre-tax impairment charge of $356 million, or $1.26 per share after tax. This impairment is classified as a special item and is not included in operational results.
As previously noted, the triggering event and impairment result are unique to Vermont Yankee. This impairment does not reflect a change in Entergy’s point of view of the economic value of the plant assuming continued operation through 2032, nor does it impact the company’s continued commitment to invest to assure safe operations of the plant, which is always the top priority. It also does not reflect a change in Entergy’s point of view on the legal and state regulatory proceedings associated with obtaining certainty on continued operation of Vermont Yankee.
Parent & Other
Parent & Other reported a loss of $46.1 million, or 26 cents per share, on an as-reported basis and $44.6 million, or 25 cents per share, on an operational basis for first quarter 2012. This compares to a loss of $38.2 million, or 21 cents per share, on both as-reported and operational bases in first quarter 2011. Parent & Other’s earnings decrease was due to several individually insignificant items.

Earnings Guidance
Entergy updated its 2012 earnings guidance range to be $3.55 to $4.35 per share on an as-reported basis and affirmed operational guidance of $4.85 to $5.65 per share previously updated on April 19, 2012. The revised guidance ranges reflect:
|
·
|
The write-off of a regulatory asset discussed in the Utility results section of this release,
|
|
·
|
Higher pension expense resulting from lower-than-planned pension discount rate and other updated pension assumptions,
|
|
·
|
Lower market energy prices for EWC’s open position,
|
|
·
|
Significant unfavorable weather in the first quarter of 2012, and
|
|
·
|
Opportunities identified to partially offset these challenges.
|
The revised as-reported guidance range also reflects special items recorded in the current quarter (which totaled $1.30 per share), including the asset impairment on the Vermont Yankee power plant. As-reported earnings guidance for 2012 does not reflect any potential future expenses for the special item to be recorded in connection with the proposed spin-merge of Entergy’s transmission business. As-reported 2012 guidance will be updated throughout the year as these transaction-related expenses are incurred.

Long-term Financial Outlook
Entergy believes it offers a long-term, competitive utility investment opportunity combined with a valuable option represented by a unique, clean, non-utility generation business located in attractive power markets.
The current long-term financial outlook for 2010 through 2014 (prepared November 2011), excluding the effects of the proposed spin-merge of the transmission business discussed below, includes the following:
Earnings:
|
·
|
Utility net income: 6 to 8 percent compound annual net income growth rate over the 2010 – 2014 horizon (2009 base year).
|
|
·
|
Entergy Wholesale Commodities results: Revenue projections through 2014 will experience increased volatility due to commodity market activities – one of the most important fundamental drivers for this business. At current sold and forward prices with its existing asset portfolio and in-the-money hedges that will roll off in the coming few years, Entergy Wholesale Commodities is expected to deliver declining operational adjusted EBITDA for the period through 2014 compared to 2010. However, Entergy Wholesale Commodities offers a valuable long-term option from the potential positive effects of ongoing economic growth (driving increased load, market heat rates, capacity prices and natural gas prices), aging and unprofitable unit retirements (driving market heat rate expansion and capacity price increases), new environmental legislation and/or enforcement of additional environmental regulations.
|
|
·
|
Corporate results: Results will vary depending upon factors including future effective income tax and interest rates and the amount / timing of share repurchases.

Capital deployment:
|
·
|
A balanced capital investment / return program: Entergy continues to see value-added investment opportunities at the Utility in the coming years, as well as an investment outlook at Entergy Wholesale Commodities that supports continued safe, secure and reliable operations and opportunistic investments. Entergy aspires to fund this capital program without issuing traditional common equity, while maintaining a competitive capital return program. Given the company’s financial profile with a mix of utility and non-utility businesses, return of capital is expected to be provided similar to the past through a combination of common stock dividends and share repurchases. Absent other attractive investment opportunities, capital deployment through dividends and share repurchases could total as much as $4 – $5 billion from 2010 – 2014 under the current long-term business outlook. The amount of share repurchases may vary as a result of material changes in business results, capital spending or new investment opportunities.
|
Credit quality:
|
·
|
Strong liquidity.
|
|
·
|
Solid credit metrics that support ready access to capital on reasonable terms.

Transaction Overview
Entergy and ITC Boards of Directors approved a definitive agreement under which Entergy will spin off and then merge its electric transmission business into a subsidiary of ITC. Terms of the transaction agreements include:
|
·
|
Entergy will spin off its electric transmission business, or “Transco,” to Entergy’s shareholders in the form of a tax-free spin-off.
|
|
·
|
After the spin-off, the newly formed Transco will merge with a newly-formed subsidiary of ITC.
|
|
·
|
Prior to the merger, ITC expects to effectuate a $700 million recapitalization, currently anticipated to take the form of a one-time special dividend to its shareholders.
|
|
·
|
The merger will result in Entergy shareholders receiving 50.1 percent of the shares of pro forma ITC in exchange for their shares of Transco; existing ITC shareholders will own the remaining 49.9 percent of the combined company.
|
Entergy expects to receive gross cash proceeds of $1.775 billion from indebtedness that will be incurred in connection with the transaction, and this indebtedness will be assumed by ITC at the close of the merger. Entergy expects to utilize most of the cash proceeds to retire debt associated with the transmission business at its utility operating companies and the balance for debt reduction at the parent, Entergy Corporation.
