FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
NextEra Energy reports 2014 third-quarter financial results
NextEra Energy delivered strong financial and operating performance
Florida Power & Light Company continued to invest in the business to provide long-term customer benefits
NextEra Energy Resources benefited from the addition of new contracted renewables projects

JUNO BEACH, Fla. - NextEra Energy, Inc. (NYSE: NEE) today reported 2014 third-quarter net income attributable to NextEra Energy on a GAAP basis of $660 million, or $1.50 per share, compared to $698 million, or $1.64 per share, in the third quarter of 2013. On an adjusted basis, NextEra Energy’s earnings were $688 million, or $1.55 per share, compared to $607 million, or $1.43 per share, in the third quarter of 2013.

Adjusted earnings for these periods exclude the mark-to-market effects of non-qualifying hedges, as well as the net effect of other than temporary impairments (OTTI) on certain investments and operating results from the Spain solar project. All of these items relate primarily to the business of NextEra Energy Resources, LLC and its affiliated entities.

NextEra Energy’s management uses adjusted earnings, which is a non-GAAP financial measure, internally for financial planning, for analysis of performance, for reporting of results to the board of directors, and as an input in determining performance-based compensation under the company’s employee incentive compensation plans. NextEra Energy also uses earnings expressed in this fashion when communicating its financial results and earnings outlook to analysts and investors. NextEra Energy management believes that adjusted earnings provide a more meaningful representation of NextEra Energy’s fundamental earnings power. The attachments to this news release include a reconciliation of historical adjusted earnings to net income attributable to NextEra Energy, which is the most directly comparable GAAP measure.

“NextEra Energy delivered strong financial and operational performance for the third quarter,” said Jim Robo, chairman and chief executive officer of NextEra Energy. “NextEra Energy Resources delivered excellent adjusted earnings growth, driven by strong contributions from growth in the contracted renewables portfolio. NextEra Energy Resources also had a very strong quarter in terms of new contracted renewables origination and significantly firmed up strong origination prospects for the fourth quarter of this year. FPL also delivered solid results and performed very well operationally. We were pleased that the Florida Supreme Court unanimously affirmed the Florida Public Service Commission’s approval of FPL’s 2012 base rate settlement agreement. This four-year agreement benefits FPL customers by supporting our ability to deliver clean, reliable electricity, while keeping our typical residential customer’s monthly electric bill well below the national average.”

Florida Power & Light Company
NextEra Energy’s principal rate-regulated utility subsidiary, Florida Power & Light Company, reported third-quarter net income of $462 million, or $1.05 per share, compared to $422 million, or $0.99 per share, for the prior-year quarter.

FPL’s earnings per share growth of approximately 6 percent over the prior-year comparable quarter was driven by continued investment in the business and by growth in wholesale power sales. FPL’s capital expenditures were approximately $670 million in the quarter, and regulatory capital employed grew 5.2 percent over the same quarter of 2013. FPL’s continued investment in the business enhances its customer value proposition that includes high reliability, award-winning customer service, a clean emissions profile and the lowest typical residential customer bill in Florida. Growth in FPL’s wholesale operations added $0.04 per share.

During the quarter, FPL continued to make progress on the Port Everglades Clean Energy Center, which is the third of three combined-cycle natural gas generation modernization projects. Expected to come online in mid-2016, Port Everglades remains on schedule and on budget. During the operating lifetimes of the three new, highly efficient power plants (Cape Canaveral, Riviera Beach and Port Everglades), FPL estimates that customers will save more than $1 billion in fuel and other costs. By modernizing its generation fleet and being more fuel efficient, FPL has saved customers $6.8 billion in fuel costs since 2001. FPL now operates one of the most modern, clean, fuel-efficient generation fleets in the nation. 

During the quarter, FPL also continued to invest in its transmission and distribution network to improve its resilience during severe weather such as hurricanes, as well as to provide increased reliability to its customers on a daily basis.

FPL averaged approximately 82,000, or 1.8 percent, more customer accounts during the third quarter of 2014 than in the comparable prior-year quarter. Customer growth increased sales by approximately 1.2 percent over the prior-year comparable quarter, and overall usage grew 1.9 percent. The 12-month average of low-usage accounts fell to 8.0 percent, down from 8.3 percent in September 2013.

These customer metrics are consistent with continued improvement in Florida’s economy. According to the Florida Department of Economic Opportunity, the state’s seasonally adjusted unemployment rate in September 2014 was 6.1 percent, down 0.8 percentage points from a year earlier. The number of jobs in Florida grew by 206,000 positions, or 2.7 percent, compared to a year earlier. Over the long term, the company continues to expect that Florida will experience above-average economic growth.

In a unanimous decision in late August, the Florida Supreme Court affirmed the Florida Public Service Commission’s (PSC) approval of FPL’s 2012 base rate settlement agreement. The court’s decision upheld all aspects of this four-year rate agreement, which was developed and supported by key customer advocacy groups and thoroughly examined by the PSC. FPL’s typical residential customer’s electric monthly bill is approximately 25 percent below the national average and the lowest in Florida for the fifth consecutive year. Beginning in 2015, FPL’s typical residential customer’s electric bill will further decrease by nearly $2 per month.

FPL’s petition with the Florida PSC seeking approval to invest in long-term natural gas supplies remains in progress, with a decision expected by the end of 2014 or in early 2015. If approved, FPL would partner to develop natural gas production wells in the Woodford Shale region in southeastern Oklahoma. While the proposed initial program of up to roughly $200 million of capital investment is modest in size relative to its overall natural gas needs, FPL views the transaction as an important first step in what it expects could become a larger program that

would further improve the value it delivers to its customers. FPL has also requested that the PSC approve a set of guidelines for subsequent natural gas production projects that would allow the company and, in turn, its customers to take advantage of future beneficial natural gas investment opportunities.
 
NextEra Energy Resources
NextEra Energy Resources, the competitive energy business of NextEra Energy, reported a third-quarter contribution to net income attributable to NextEra Energy on a GAAP basis of $204 million, or $0.46 per share, compared to $281 million, or $0.66 per share, in the prior-year quarter. On an adjusted basis, NextEra Energy Resources’ earnings for the third quarter of 2014 were $231 million, or $0.52 per share, compared to $190 million, or $0.45 per share, for the third quarter of 2013.

NextEra Energy Resources’ adjusted earnings per share increased $0.07 year-over-year, or 16 percent, primarily as a result of additional investments in its contracted renewables business. Growth in the contracted renewables portfolio added $0.09 per share, reflecting new wind and solar investments placed into service during or after the third quarter of 2013, while existing assets added $0.01 per share. The customer supply and trading business added $0.03 per share year-over-year. Lower contributions from the gas infrastructure business decreased earnings by $0.03 per share year-over-year. All other factors reduced results by $0.03 per share.

During the quarter, NextEra Energy Resources signed contracts for 445 megawatts (MW) of new contracted renewables projects, adding 91 MW of U.S wind, 50 MW of Canadian wind and 304 MW of U.S. solar. All of the new projects are expected to be in operation by the end of 2016. With these additions and expected fourth-quarter originations in wind and solar, NextEra Energy Resources now expects its U.S. wind development program for 2013 through 2015 to be more than 2,500 MW, its 2013 through 2016 Canadian wind program to be 640 MW and its 2013 through 2016 U.S. solar program to be in the range of 1,600 MW to 1,800 MW.

Corporate and Other
In the third quarter of 2014, Corporate and Other earnings decreased by $0.01 per share, compared to the prior-year quarter, on an adjusted basis, but were flat year-over-year on a GAAP basis.

The company’s natural gas pipeline projects, Sabal Trail Transmission and Florida Southeast Connection, continue to progress well through the development process. Florida Southeast Connection filed its certification application with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) in September 2014, and Sabal Trail expects to file its FERC certification application in November 2014. Both projects expect FERC decisions by year-end 2015, with construction of the proposed interstate pipeline system beginning in 2016 and operations commencing in mid-2017.

During the third quarter of 2014, the company formed the Mountain Valley Pipeline joint venture with EQT Corporation. The joint venture completed a binding open season for the approximately 300-mile Mountain Valley natural gas pipeline project, which is designed to connect the Marcellus and Utica natural gas supply to markets in the U.S. Southeast to support growing demand and to improve reliability.

Outlook
NextEra Energy continues to expect full-year 2014 adjusted earnings per share to be in the range of $5.15 to $5.35. For 2015, the company expects full-year adjusted earnings per share to be in the range of $5.40 to $5.70. NextEra Energy also continues to expect 2016 full-year adjusted earnings per share to be in the range of $5.50 to $6.00.

NextEra Energy’s adjusted earnings expectations exclude the cumulative effect of adopting new accounting standards, the unrealized mark-to-market effect of non-qualifying hedges, as well as net OTTI losses on securities held in NextEra Energy Resources’ nuclear decommissioning funds, none of which can be determined at this time, and operating results from the Spain solar project. Adjusted earnings expectations also exclude the 2014 gain associated with the Maine fossil assets. In addition, adjusted earnings expectations assume, among other things: normal weather and operating conditions; continued recovery of the national and the Florida economy; supportive commodity markets; public policy support for wind and solar development and construction; market demand and transmission expansion to support wind and solar development; access to capital at reasonable cost and terms; no acquisitions or divestitures; no adverse litigation decisions; and no changes to governmental tax policy or incentives. Please see the accompanying cautionary statements for a list of the risk factors that may affect future results.
