Duke Energy reports third quarter 2015 financial results

 

    Third quarter 2015 adjusted diluted earnings per share (EPS) were $1.47, compared to $1.40 for the third quarter of 2014

 

    Reported diluted EPS of $1.35 for third quarter 2015, compared to $1.80 for the third quarter of 2014

 

    Company narrows its 2015 adjusted diluted earnings guidance range from $4.55 to $4.75 per share to $4.55 to $4.65 per share

CHARLOTTE, N.C. – Duke Energy today announced third quarter 2015 adjusted diluted EPS of $1.47, compared to $1.40 for the third quarter of 2014. Third quarter 2015 reported EPS was $1.35, compared to $1.80 for the same period last year.

Earnings for the third quarter of 2015 were higher than the prior year quarterly results, primarily due to warmer weather compared to the previous year. The company also experienced strong growth in the Regulated Utilities business, including the impact of the recently completed North Carolina Eastern Municipal Power Agency (NCEMPA) acquisition.

During 2015, the company has been able to offset weakness in the International business with favorable weather, solid operational performance in the regulated business, and benefits from closing certain strategic initiatives earlier than anticipated. The company has narrowed its 2015 adjusted diluted earnings guidance range from $4.55 to $4.75 per share to $4.55 to $4.65 per share.

“I am pleased with our overall operational and financial performance to date in 2015,” said Lynn Good, president and CEO. “We are on-track to achieve our financial objectives for the year and our regulated generation fleet continues to reliably meet customer needs.

“Additionally, we are taking significant steps to grow our low-risk regulated business mix as highlighted by last week’s announced acquisition of Piedmont Natural Gas, which provides us with additional capabilities and growth potential around natural gas infrastructure,” Good added.

Business unit results

In addition to the summary business unit discussion below, a comprehensive table of quarterly and year-to-date adjusted earnings per share drivers by segment compared to the prior year is provided on pages 16 and 17.

The discussion below of third quarter results includes adjusted segment income, which is a non-GAAP financial measure. The tables on pages 25 through 28 present a reconciliation of reported results to adjusted results.

Regulated Utilities

Regulated Utilities recognized third quarter 2015 adjusted segment income of $965 million, compared to $920 million in the third quarter 2014, an increase of 7 cents per share, excluding the benefit of the $1.5 billion accelerated stock repurchase program that was completed in June.

Higher quarterly results at Regulated Utilities were primarily driven by:

 

    Favorable weather (+$0.09 per share) driven by warmer temperatures in the Carolinas. This was the first above normal summer weather experienced since 2012.

 

    Higher revenues from increased pricing and riders (+$0.07 per share) due to increased energy efficiency programs and prior year true-ups that did not recur

 

    Increased wholesale net margins (+$0.05 per share) resulting from growth in contracted amounts and earnings from the long-term wholesale contract associated with the recent NCEMPA asset purchase

These favorable drivers were partially offset by:

 

    Higher O&M expense (-$0.06 per share) due to the timing of planned work, increased costs related to the recent NCEMPA asset purchase and storm costs

 

    Higher effective tax rate (-$0.04 per share) primarily due to additional deductions in the prior year

On a year-to-date basis, Regulated Utilities recognized adjusted segment income of $2,371 million, compared to $2,346 million for the same period last year, an increase of 3 cents per share, excluding the benefit of the accelerated stock repurchase program.

Higher year-to-date results at Regulated Utilities were primarily driven by:

 

    Higher revenues from increased pricing and riders (+$0.14 per share) due to increased energy efficiency programs and prior year true-ups that did not recur, partially offset by a regulatory order in Ohio related to energy efficiency (-$0.03 per share)


Duke Energy News Release    3

 

    Favorable weather (+$0.11 per share) across Duke Energy’s service territories

 

    Increased wholesale net margins (+$0.12 per share) due to growth in contracted amounts and earnings from the long-term wholesale contract associated with the recent NCEMPA asset purchase

 

    Higher AFUDC equity (+$0.03 per share) due to increased capital spending

 

    Higher weather-normal retail volumes (+$0.03 per share) of 0.4 percent compared to 2014

These favorable drivers were partially offset by:

 

    Higher O&M expense (-$0.19 per share) due to timing of planned outages, increased costs related to the recent NCEMPA asset purchase and nuclear outage cost levelization. These costs were partially offset by lower storm costs.

 

    Higher effective tax rate (-$0.08 per share) primarily due to a favorable prior year state tax settlement and additional deductions in the prior year

 

    Higher depreciation and amortization expense (-$0.04 per share) primarily resulting from additional plant in-service

International Energy

International Energy recognized third quarter 2015 adjusted segment income of $69 million, compared to $80 million in the third quarter 2014, a decrease of 2 cents per share, excluding the benefit of the accelerated stock repurchase program.

Lower quarterly results at International Energy were primarily driven by:

 

    Lower results in Latin America (-$0.01 per share) principally driven by unfavorable foreign exchange rates and an asset impairment in Ecuador. These drivers were partially offset by lower purchased power costs in Brazil.

 

    Lower margins at National Methanol (-$0.01 per share) due to lower MTBE prices

On a year-to-date basis, International Energy recognized adjusted segment income of $157 million, compared to $356 million for the same period in 2014, a decrease of 29 cents per share, excluding the benefit of the accelerated stock repurchase program.

Lower year-to-date earnings at International Energy were driven by:

 

    Weaker results in Latin America (-$0.25 per share) primarily due to lower sales volumes and higher purchased power costs resulting from ongoing drought conditions and decreased demand in Brazil, a prior-year tax benefit in Chile, unfavorable foreign currency exchange rates, and an asset impairment in Ecuador

 

    Lower margins at National Methanol (-$0.04 per share) largely driven by lower MTBE and methanol prices

Commercial Portfolio

Subsequent to the sale of its nonregulated Midwest Commercial Generation Business to Dynegy Inc. in April, Commercial Portfolio (formerly Commercial Power) includes Duke Energy’s unregulated renewable assets as well as its commercial electric and gas transmission investments.

Commercial Portfolio recognized a third quarter 2015 adjusted segment loss of $4 million, compared to income of $51 million in the third quarter 2014, a decrease of 8 cents per share. The decline in Commercial Portfolio’s quarterly earnings was primarily due to the sale of the Midwest Generation business to Dynegy, which was completed in April 2015.

On a year-to-date basis, Commercial Portfolio recognized adjusted segment income of $99 million, compared to $77 million in the comparable year-to-date period of 2014, an increase of 3 cents per share.

Commercial Portfolio’s higher year-to-date earnings were driven by higher results from the Midwest Generation fleet (+$0.06 per share), which was sold in April 2015, partially offset by lower earnings from the renewables fleet (-$0.01 per share) resulting from lower wind resources during 2015.

Other

On an adjusted basis, Other primarily includes corporate interest expense not allocated to the business units, results from Duke Energy’s captive insurance company, other investments, and quarterly income tax levelization adjustments.

Other recognized a third quarter 2015 adjusted net expense of $19 million, compared to net expense of $58 million in the third quarter 2014, an improvement of 6 cents per share, excluding the impact of the accelerated stock repurchase program. Other’s quarterly results were primarily driven by a prior year tax charge and quarterly tax levelization, including the recognition of renewable tax credits.

On a year-to-date basis, Other recognized adjusted net expense of $77 million, compared to $171 million in the comparable period of 2014, an improvement of 14 cents per share, excluding the impact of the accelerated stock repurchase program. Other’s year-to-date results were primarily driven by favorable tax resolution, a prior year tax charge and quarterly tax levelization, including the recognition of renewable tax credits.

The consolidated adjusted effective tax rate for third quarter 2015 was 31 percent, compared to 34 percent in the third quarter of 2014. On a year-to-date basis, the consolidated adjusted effective tax rate was 32 percent, consistent with the prior year. Adjusted effective tax rate is a non-GAAP financial measure. The tables on pages 29 and 30 present a reconciliation of reported effective tax rate to adjusted effective tax rate.

Accelerated stock repurchase program

In connection with the transaction to sell the Midwest Generation business to Dynegy for $2.8 billion, which closed on April 2, 2015, Duke Energy completed a $1.5 billion accelerated stock repurchase program (ASR). The program resulted in share retirements of approximately 19.8 million, providing a benefit to the third quarter 2015 and year-to-date results of approximately 4 cents per share and 6 cents per share, respectively.

As a result of the ASR, weighted-average shares of Duke Energy common stock outstanding in 2015 are expected to be approximately 695 million.

Non-GAAP financial measures

Management evaluates financial performance in part based on the non-GAAP financial measures, adjusted earnings and adjusted diluted earnings per share (EPS). These items are measured as income from continuing operations net of income (loss) attributable to non-controlling interests, adjusted for the dollar and per-share impact of mark-to-market impacts of economic hedges in the Commercial Portfolio segment and special items including the operating results of the Midwest Generation business (Disposal Group) classified as discontinued operations for GAAP purposes. Special items represent certain charges and credits, which management believes will not be recurring on a regular basis, although it is reasonably possible such charges and credits could recur. Operating results of the Disposal Group sold to Dynegy are reported as discontinued operations, including a portion of the mark-to-market adjustments associated with derivative contracts. Management believes that including the operating


Duke Energy News Release    7

 

results of the Disposal Group reported as discontinued operations better reflects its financial performance and therefore has included these results in adjusted earnings and adjusted diluted EPS prior to the sale of the Disposal Group. Additionally, as a result of completing the sale of the Disposal Group during the second quarter of 2015, state income tax expense increased as state income tax apportionments changed. The additional tax expense was recognized in Continuing Operations on a GAAP basis. This impact to state income taxes has been reflected in Discontinued Operations in the Commercial Portfolio segment for adjusted diluted EPS purposes as management believes these impacts are incidental to the sale of the Disposal Group. Derivative contracts are used in Duke Energy’s hedging of a portion of the economic value of its generation assets in the Commercial Portfolio segment. The mark-to-market impact of derivative contracts is recognized in GAAP earnings immediately and, if associated with the Disposal Group, classified as discontinued operations, as such derivative contracts do not qualify for hedge accounting or regulatory treatment. The economic value of generation assets is subject to fluctuations in fair value due to market price volatility of input and output commodities (e.g. coal, electricity, natural gas). Economic hedging involves both purchases and sales of those input and output commodities related to generation assets. Operations of the generation assets are accounted for under the accrual method. Management believes excluding impacts of mark-to-market changes of the derivative contracts from adjusted earnings until settlement better matches the financial impacts of the derivative contract with the portion of economic value of the underlying hedged asset. Management believes the presentation of adjusted earnings and adjusted diluted EPS provides useful information to investors, as it provides them an additional relevant comparison of Duke Energy’s performance across periods. Management uses these non-GAAP financial measures for planning and forecasting and for reporting results to the Board of Directors, employees, shareholders, analysts and investors concerning Duke Energy’s financial performance. Adjusted diluted EPS is also used as a basis for employee incentive bonuses. The most directly comparable GAAP measures for adjusted earnings and adjusted diluted EPS are Net Income Attributable to Duke Energy Corporation and Diluted EPS Attributable to Duke Energy Corporation common shareholders, which include the dollar and per share impact of special items, mark-to-market impacts of economic hedges in the Commercial Portfolio segment and discontinued operations.

Management evaluates segment performance based on segment income. Segment income is defined as income from continuing operations net of income attributable to non-controlling interests. Segment income, as discussed below, includes intercompany revenues and expenses that are eliminated in the Consolidated Financial Statements. Management also uses adjusted segment income as a measure of historical and anticipated future segment performance. Adjusted segment income is a non-GAAP financial measure, as it is based upon segment income adjusted for the mark-to-market impacts of economic hedges in the Commercial Portfolio segment and special items,


Duke Energy News Release    8

 

including the operating results of the Disposal Group classified as discontinued operations for GAAP purposes. Management believes the presentation of adjusted segment income as presented provides useful information to investors, as it provides them with an additional relevant comparison of a segment’s performance across periods. The most directly comparable GAAP measure for adjusted segment income is segment income, which represents segment income from continuing operations, including any special items and the mark-to-market impacts of economic hedges in the Commercial Portfolio segment.

Due to the forward-looking nature of any forecasted adjusted earnings guidance, information to reconcile this non-GAAP financial measure to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure is not available at this time, as management is unable to project all special items or mark-to-market adjustments for future periods.

Due to the forward-looking nature of any forecasted adjusted segment income or adjusted Other net expenses and any related growth rates for future periods, information to reconcile these non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures is not available at this time, as the company is unable to forecast all special items, the mark-to-market impacts of economic hedges in the Commercial Portfolio segment, or any amounts that may be reported as discontinued operations or extraordinary items for future periods.

(a) Due to the decrease in common shares outstanding as a result of shares repurchased and retired under the Accelerated Stock Repurchase Program. Weighted-average diluted shares outstanding decreased from 707 million shares for the three months ended September 30, 2014, to 688 million shares for the three months ended September 30, 2015.
(b) Primarily due to prior-year fuel and purchased power cost true-ups that did not recur (+$0.04) and higher energy efficiency and other rider recoveries across jurisdictions (+$0.02).
(c) Primarily due to higher volumes and capacity rates due to favorable weather and the implementation of new contracts, including the new 30-year contract with NCEMPA.
(d) Primarily due to an increase in planned spending, increased costs related to the recent NCEMPA asset purchase and higher storm restoration costs.
(e) Primarily due to weakness in foreign currency exchange rates (-$0.03) and an asset impairment in Ecuador (-$0.02), partially offset by higher results in Brazil (+$0.04) due to lower purchased power costs.
(f) Due to the sale of the nonregulated Midwest generation business.
(g) Amount for Regulated Utilities includes increased depreciation and amortization expense (-$0.01) and an impairment of the Crystal River Unit 3 regulatory asset (-$0.02).

Note 1: Earnings Per Share amounts are calculated using the consolidated effective income tax rate.

(a) Due to the decrease in common shares outstanding as a result of shares repurchased and retired under the Accelerated Stock Repurchase Program. Weighted-average diluted shares outstanding decreased from 707 million shares for the nine months ended September 30, 2014, to 696 million shares for the nine months ended September 30, 2015.
(b) Primarily due to prior-year fuel and purchased power cost true-ups that did not recur (+$0.08), and higher energy efficiency and other rider recoveries in most jurisdictions (+$0.05), partially offset by the impact of a regulatory order that limited the ability to carry forward energy efficiency savings for Duke Energy Ohio (-$0.03).
(c) Primarily due to higher volumes and capacity rates due to favorable weather and the implementation of new contracts, including the new 30-year contract with NCEMPA.
(d) Primarily due to an increase in planned spending, increased costs related to the recent NCEMPA asset purchase and nuclear outage cost levelization, partially offset by lower storm restoration costs.
(e) Primarily due to lower results in Brazil (-$0.09) due to lower sales volumes and higher purchased power costs resulting from ongoing drought conditions and decreased demand, a prior year tax benefit related to the reorganization of the company’s operations in Chile (-$0.07), lower results in Central America (-$0.04) due to lower generation and prices from increased competition and unfavorable foreign currency exchange rates (-$0.03).
(f) Primarily due to lower wind results.
(g) Primarily due to higher capacity revenues, improved generation margins and the suspension of depreciation as a result of held for sale status prior to the sale of the nonregulated Midwest generation business.
(h) Amount for Regulated Utilities includes increased depreciation and amortization expense (-$0.04) due to higher depreciable base and an impairment of the Crystal River Unit 3 regulatory asset (-$0.02), partially offset by higher AFUDC-equity (+$0.03).

* Mark-to-market adjustments reflect the impact of derivative contracts, which are used in Duke Energy’s hedging of a portion of the economic value of its generation assets in the Commercial Portfolio segment. The mark-to-market impact of derivative contracts is recognized in GAAP earnings immediately as such derivative contracts do not qualify for hedge accounting or regulatory treatment. The economic value of generation assets is subject to fluctuations in fair value due to market price volatility of input and output commodities (e.g. coal, electricity, natural gas). Economic hedging involves both purchases and sales of those input and output commodities related to generation assets. Operations of the generation assets are accounted for under the accrual method. Management believes excluding impacts of mark-to-market changes of the derivative contracts from adjusted earnings until settlement better matches the financial impacts of the derivative contract with the portion of economic value of the underlying hedged asset. Management believes that the presentation of adjusted diluted EPS Attributable to Duke Energy Corporation provides useful information to investors, as it provides them an additional relevant comparison of Duke Energy Corporation’s performance across periods.

* Mark-to-market adjustments reflect the impact of derivative contracts, which are used in Duke Energy’s hedging of a portion of the economic value of its generation assets in the Commercial Portfolio segment and also relate to existing derivative positions that may have tenors beyond the planned disposal date of the nonregulated Midwest generation business. The mark-to-market impact of derivative contracts is recognized in GAAP earnings immediately as such derivative contracts do not qualify for hedge accounting or regulatory treatment. The economic value of generation assets is subject to fluctuations in fair value due to market price volatility of input and output commodities (e.g. coal, electricity, natural gas). Economic hedging involves both purchases and sales of those input and output commodities related to generation assets. Operations of the generation assets are accounted for under the accrual method. Management believes excluding impacts of mark-to-market changes of the derivative contracts from adjusted earnings until settlement better matches the financial impacts of the derivative contract with the portion of economic value of the underlying hedged asset. However, due to the divestiture of the nonregulated Midwest generation business as mentioned above, certain derivative positions have tenors beyond the planned disposal date of these assets. As such, management has excluded settlements of these derivative positions from adjusted diluted EPS as these realized gains and losses more closely relate to the loss on disposal of these assets. Management believes that the presentation of adjusted diluted EPS Attributable to Duke Energy Corporation provides useful information to investors, as it provides them an additional relevant comparison of Duke Energy Corporation’s performance across periods.
