FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
NextEra Energy reports third-quarter 2017 financial results
NextEra Energy delivers solid third-quarter financial and operational results
Florida Power & Light Company's continued investments in the business to further advance its customer value proposition result in approximately 9.8 percent growth in regulatory capital employed
NextEra Energy Resources adds 760 megawatts to its contracted renewables backlog and 514 megawatts to its repowering backlog

JUNO BEACH, Fla. - NextEra Energy, Inc. (NYSE: NEE) today reported third-quarter 2017 net income attributable to NextEra Energy on a GAAP basis of $847 million, or $1.79 per share, compared to $753 million, or $1.62 per share, in the third quarter of 2016. On an adjusted basis, NextEra Energy's third-quarter 2017 earnings were $875 million, or $1.85 per share, compared to $809 million, or $1.74 per share, in the third quarter of 2016.

Adjusted earnings for these periods exclude the effects of non-qualifying hedges, the net effect of other than temporary impairments (OTTI) on certain investments, operating results from the Spain solar projects and merger-related expenses.

NextEra Energy's management uses adjusted earnings, which is a non-GAAP financial measure, internally for financial planning, analysis of performance, 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's management believes that adjusted earnings provide a more meaningful representation of NextEra Energy's fundamental earnings power. A reconciliation of historical adjusted earnings to net income attributable to NextEra Energy, which is the most directly comparable GAAP measure, is included in the attachments to this news release.

"NextEra Energy delivered solid third-quarter results and remains well-positioned to achieve our overall objectives for 2017," said Jim Robo, chairman and chief executive officer of NextEra Energy. "NextEra Energy's third-quarter adjusted earnings per share increased more than 6 percent, driven primarily by new investments at both FPL and NextEra Energy Resources. FPL continues to advance its strategy of making long-term investments in energy infrastructure, while keeping electric bills low, maintaining high reliability and delivering superior customer service. Consistent with this strategy, FPL continues to make progress on its capital projects for the year and executed very well on behalf of customers while responding to Hurricane Irma – the largest hurricane event in our company's history. I am extremely proud that our team

completed the fastest storm restoration of the largest number of customers by any one utility in U.S. history, which we believe was enabled by the approximately $3 billion we have invested over the last 11 years to create a smarter, stronger and more storm-resilient energy grid. NextEra Energy Resources remains equally well-positioned to capitalize on what we view as one of the best environments for renewables development in our history. The team continued to build on its success of recent quarters with another excellent period of new project origination, signing 760 megawatts of additional long-term contracted projects and adding an additional 514 megawatts to our repowering backlog. Overall, we are positioned to continue delivering outstanding value for our shareholders, and I remain confident that we will be able to achieve our financial expectations at or near the top of the 6 to 8 percent adjusted earnings per share growth range through 2020."

Florida Power & Light Company
NextEra Energy's principal rate-regulated electric utility subsidiary, Florida Power & Light Company (FPL), reported third-quarter 2017 net income of $566 million, or $1.19 per share, compared to $515 million, or $1.11 per share, for the prior-year quarter.

FPL's contribution to adjusted earnings per share growth over the prior-year comparable quarter was primarily driven by continued investment in the business to further advance its long-term focus on delivering outstanding customer value, best-in-class reliability and typical residential customer bills that are significantly lower than the national and Florida averages. For the third quarter of 2017, FPL's average number of customers increased by approximately 62,000, or 1.3 percent, from the prior-year comparable period.
FPL completed service restoration to more than 4.4 million customers – more than 90 percent of the company’s customers – affected by Hurricane Irma. In preparation for the powerful storm, FPL assembled and pre-positioned the largest restoration workforce in U.S. history, which grew to approximately 28,000 at its peak, including support from partner utilities from 30 states and Canada. This preparation and coordinated response, combined with the significant investments in the grid, enabled FPL to restore service to more than 2 million customers – nearly half of all affected customers – by the end of the first full day of restoration. Approximately 95 percent of impacted customers were restored within one week and the full restoration was completed 10 days after Hurricane Irma left FPL's service territory.
FPL continues to execute on its major capital initiatives, including leading one of the largest solar expansions ever in the eastern U.S. Construction of eight 74.5-megawatt (MW) solar energy centers across FPL's service territory remains on track and on budget. The eight solar energy centers, anticipated to come online later this year and in early 2018, will produce nearly 600 MW of combined solar capacity – enough to power approximately 120,000 homes. Furthermore, FPL has secured potential sites that could support more than 5 gigawatts of solar expansion and is developing an additional 1,600 MW of new solar generating capacity planned for beyond 2018. All of the solar energy centers are expected to be built cost-effectively, which would result in millions of dollars in net lifetime savings for FPL customers.
In addition, construction on the state-of-the-art, natural gas-fueled FPL Okeechobee Clean Energy Center remains on schedule and under budget. The approximately 1,750-MW project, expected to begin operation in mid-2019, will be one of the cleanest, most efficient plants of its kind in the world. Earlier this month, FPL filed a determination of need with the Florida Public Service Commission (PSC) for the planned modernization of the existing Lauderdale Plant in Dania Beach. The new, approximately 1,200-MW FPL Dania Beach Clean Energy Center will be highly efficient and fueled by clean-burning natural gas. The facility is expected to begin operation by mid-2022 and produce more than $335 million in projected net savings for FPL customers over its operational life.

Last month, the PSC approved the settlement agreement with the Office of Public Counsel regarding FPL's proposal for the early shutdown of the St. Johns River Power Park, an approximately 1,300-MW coal-fired plant jointly owned with JEA. The early retirement of the plant, which is expected in January 2018, is projected to provide total savings to FPL customers of $183 million and prevent nearly 5.6 million tons of carbon dioxide emissions annually, adding to the customer savings and emission reductions of the early retirements of the Cedar Bay Generating Plant and the Indiantown Cogeneration Plant.
NextEra Energy Resources
NextEra Energy Resources, the competitive energy business of NextEra Energy, reported a third-quarter 2017 contribution to net income attributable to NextEra Energy on a GAAP basis of $292 million, or $0.62 per share, compared to $307 million, or $0.66 per share, in the prior-year comparable quarter. On an adjusted basis, NextEra Energy Resources' earnings for the third-quarter of 2017 were $292 million, or $0.62 per share, compared to $279 million, or $0.60 per share, for the third quarter of 2016.
 
NextEra Energy Resources' contribution to third-quarter 2017 adjusted earnings per share increased $0.02, compared to the prior-year quarter. The business' results were primarily driven by contributions from new investments, reflecting continued growth in the contracted renewables portfolio. Partially offsetting the positive results were higher interest expense and a decline in contributions from existing generation assets due to low wind resource.
During the third quarter, the NextEra Energy Resources team continued to execute on its backlog and pursue additional opportunities for contracted renewables development. Over the past few months, the team added 760 MW of additional renewables projects to its backlog, including approximately 566 MW of new wind projects for 2018 delivery, approximately 164 MW of new solar projects for delivery between 2018 and 2020 and a 30-MW battery storage project that will be paired with one of the solar power purchase agreements. This project is the largest combined solar and storage facility in the U.S. announced to date. Also during the quarter, NextEra Energy Resources added 514 MW to its repowering backlog, commissioned an additional 308 MW of wind repowering projects and closed its first tax equity financing for a wind repowering portfolio.

Progress continues on the Mountain Valley Pipeline project, with the issuance of a Certificate of Public Convenience and Necessity by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission earlier this month. Final development activities are underway on the 303-mile underground pipeline, and the Mountain Valley Pipeline joint venture expects to begin advancing construction efforts to support a December 2018 commercial operation date.

Corporate and Other
On a GAAP basis, Corporate and Other earnings increased $0.13 per share in the third quarter of 2017, compared to the prior-year comparable period. On an adjusted basis, Corporate and Other earnings increased $0.01 per share in the third quarter of 2017, compared to the prior-year comparable period.

Earlier this month, NextEra Energy Transmission New York was selected by the New York Independent System Operator (NYISO) to develop a 20-mile, 345-kV transmission line and accompanying facilities located near Buffalo, New York. The project is NYISO’s first competitive transmission award under its Public Policy Transmission Planning Process and will help allow the state to maximize the flow of energy from lower-cost renewable generation. The project is required to be in service by June 2022.

Outlook

3



NextEra Energy continues to expect adjusted earnings per share to be in the range of $6.35 to $6.85 for 2017. For 2018, the company expects adjusted earnings per share to be in the range of $6.80 to $7.30 and in the range of $7.85 to $8.45 for 2020, implying a compound annual growth rate off a 2016 base of 6 to 8 percent.

NextEra Energy's adjusted earnings expectations exclude the cumulative effect of adopting new accounting standards, the 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 projects, merger-related expenses, net gains associated with NextEra Energy Partners, LP's deconsolidation beginning in 2018 and the gain on the sale of the fiber-optic telecommunications business in 2017. 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; market demand for pipeline capacity; access to capital at reasonable cost and terms; no divestitures other than to NextEra Energy Partners 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 third-quarter 2017 conference call is scheduled for 9 a.m. ET today. Also discussed during the call will be third-quarter 2017 financial results for NextEra Energy Partners, LP (NYSE: NEP).
