FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
NextEra Energy reports 2015 first-quarter financial results
NextEra Energy delivered strong operational performance and financial results
NextEra Energy Resources benefited from growth in contracted renewables and strong results in customer supply business
Florida Power & Light Company continued solid execution on capital initiatives

JUNO BEACH, Fla. - NextEra Energy, Inc. (NYSE: NEE) today reported 2015 first-quarter net income attributable to NextEra Energy on a GAAP basis of $650 million, or $1.45 per share, compared to $430 million, or $0.98 per share, in the first quarter of 2014. On an adjusted basis, NextEra Energy’s earnings were $631 million, or $1.41 per share, compared to $557 million, or $1.26 per share, in the first quarter of 2014.

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. Adjusted earnings also exclude merger-related expenses in 2015 and the 2014 gain associated with the Maine fossil assets. All of these items, except for the merger-related expenses, 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 very strong operational performance and financial results during the first quarter of 2015, highlighted by 12 percent adjusted earnings per share growth over the comparable prior-year quarter,” said Jim Robo, chairman and chief executive officer of NextEra Energy. “NextEra Energy Resources delivered excellent adjusted earnings growth and had an excellent quarter in terms of new contracted renewables origination, adding approximately 500 megawatts (MW) to its backlog. We continue to be well positioned to add further projects in the coming months. FPL performed well operationally and continued its excellent track record of executing on capital projects and investing in the business to deliver on its customer value proposition. We are pleased that FPL recently once again was ranked as having the best reliability among Florida’s major electric companies.”

Florida Power & Light Company
NextEra Energy’s principal rate-regulated electric utility subsidiary, Florida Power & Light Company, reported first-quarter 2015 net income of $359 million, or $0.80 per share, compared to $347 million, or $0.79 per share, for the prior-year quarter.

FPL’s contribution to adjusted earnings per share growth over the prior-year comparable quarter was driven by continued investments in its infrastructure, which strengthens the company’s value proposition that combines low electric bills, high reliability, award-winning customer service and a clean emissions profile. FPL’s capital expenditures were approximately $765 million in the quarter.

FPL averaged approximately 66,000 more customer accounts during the first quarter of 2015 than in the comparable prior-year quarter. Customer growth increased sales by approximately 1.4 percent over the prior-year comparable quarter. Overall usage per customer decreased 0.4 percent.

FPL’s customer metrics are consistent with improving Florida economic indicators that the
company tracks. Florida’s March unemployment rate of 5.7 percent is the lowest level since mid-2008, and the number of jobs in Florida grew by approximately 284,000 positions, or 3.7 percent, compared to the same period in 2014. Over the long term, the company continues to expect that Florida will experience above-average economic growth.

During the first quarter, FPL continued to make progress on its Port Everglades Clean Energy Center, which is the third in a series of highly efficient, combined-cycle natural gas generation modernization projects. Expected to come online in mid-2016, the new plant remains on schedule and on budget. Since 2001, FPL’s investments in clean, fuel-efficient power plants have saved customers more than $7.5 billion in fuel costs, helped reduce the company’s use of foreign oil by 99 percent and have significantly reduced power plant emissions rates. FPL now operates one of the most modern, clean, fuel-efficient and low-carbon generation fleets in the nation.

In April, the Florida Public Service Commission (PSC) approved FPL’s request to further reduce its customer electric rates -- the second such reduction this year -- because of lower fuel costs. Beginning May 1, FPL’s typical residential customer’s electric bill will be reduced by approximately $3 per month and will be approximately 30 percent lower than the latest national average. FPL’s typical residential electric bill has been the lowest in Florida for more than five years running.

During the quarter, FPL also continued its multi-year investment program in its transmission and distribution network, which is designed to improve resiliency during severe weather and provide increased reliability to customers on a daily basis. Since the 2005 storm season, FPL has invested more than $2 billion to strengthen its electric grid against severe weather by inspecting more than 1.2 million power poles and reinforcing or replacing the poles and wires that serve critical facilities in its communities. FPL also has installed 4.8 million smart meters and thousands of intelligent devices throughout its system to help reduce the number of outages and restore service faster when outages do occur. In March, FPL once again was ranked as the most reliable of Florida’s major electric companies, based on 2014 performance data submitted to the Florida PSC. In 2014, P.A. Consulting also recognized FPL for delivering the most reliable service of any utility in the U.S. Southeast and for making the best use of technology among all utilities in the nation.

In March, FPL filed a petition with the Florida PSC to request approval to acquire the Cedar Bay Generating Plant located in Jacksonville, Fla. FPL has purchased power from the 250-megawatt

2



coal-fired facility under a long-term contract since 1988. If approved, upon taking ownership, FPL expects to be able to reduce the plant’s operations by 90 percent and potentially enable earlier shutdown of the facility than would otherwise be the case. This plan is projected to save FPL customers an estimated $70 million and prevent nearly one million tons of carbon dioxide emissions annually. FPL expects a PSC decision on this petition in September.

Also during the quarter, FPL closed on its Woodford Shale natural gas production project in southeastern Oklahoma. FPL expects this investment will save money for customers over the long term and help to reduce variability in the fuel portion of customers’ bills. The investment represents a first, small step in what FPL believes could become a larger program that would further improve the value it delivers to its customers. FPL also anticipates a decision in the coming months on its request that the Florida PSC approve a set of guidelines for potential additional 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 first-quarter 2015 contribution to net income attributable to NextEra Energy on a GAAP basis of $278 million, or $0.62 per share, compared to $86 million, or $0.20 per share, in the prior-year quarter. On an adjusted basis, NextEra Energy Resources’ earnings for the first quarter of 2015 were $260 million, or $0.58 per share, compared to $211 million, or $0.48 per share, for the first quarter of 2014.

NextEra Energy Resources’ contribution to adjusted earnings per share in the first quarter of 2015 increased $0.10 year-over-year, or approximately 21 percent, primarily as a result of a return to more normal levels of profitability for its customer supply and trading business and new 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 first quarter of 2014. The customer supply and trading business added $0.20 per share year-over-year as it returned to more normal levels of profitability, and the gas infrastructure business increased earnings by $0.02 per share year-over-year. Existing assets decreased earnings by $0.17 per share, primarily because of below-average wind resource in the first quarter of 2015. All other factors reduced results by $0.04 per share.

NextEra Energy Resources had a good quarter of originating new renewables. Within the first few months of 2015, NextEra Energy Resources added 200 MW of new wind and approximately 300 MW of new solar projects to its backlog.

Corporate and Other
In the first quarter of 2015, Corporate and Other adjusted earnings increased by $0.04 per share, compared to the prior-year quarter, primarily due to miscellaneous corporate items.

The company’s natural gas pipeline projects, Sabal Trail Transmission and Florida Southeast Connection, continue to progress well through the development process. Federal Energy Regulatory Commission decisions are expected for both projects around year-end 2015, with construction of the proposed interstate pipeline system beginning in 2016 and operations commencing in mid-2017.

The company’s Mountain Valley Pipeline joint venture with EQT Corporation added two additional partners during the first quarter, WGL Midstream and Vega Midstream MVP LLC. WGL Midstream also will be a shipper and gas purchaser on the proposed 300-mile Mountain Valley Pipeline, 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 2015 adjusted earnings per share to be in the range of $5.40 to $5.70 and 2016 full-year adjusted earnings per share to be in the range of $5.75 to $6.25.

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. Adjusted earnings expectations also exclude the operating results from the Spain solar project and merger-related expenses. 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; current forward curves; 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 divestitures other than NextEra Energy Partners, LP or acquisitions; 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.

 
As previously announced, NextEra Energy’s first-quarter earnings conference call is scheduled for 9 a.m. ET today. Also discussed during the call will be financial results for NextEra Energy Partners, LP (NYSE: NEP).
