Item 2.02. Results of Operations and Financial Condition
OGE Energy Corp. (the "Company") is the parent company of Oklahoma Gas and Electric Company ("OG&E"), a regulated electric utility with approximately 801,000 customers in Oklahoma and western Arkansas, and OGE Enogex Holdings LLC and its subsidiaries ("Enogex"), a midstream natural gas pipeline business with principal operations in Oklahoma.
On May 2, 2013, the Company issued a press release describing the Company's consolidated financial results for the quarter ended March 31, 2013, which is furnished as Exhibit 99.01 and incorporated herein by reference. As described in the press release, the Company reported earnings of $0.23 per diluted share for the quarter ended March 31, 2013 as compared to $0.38 per diluted share for the quarter ended March 31, 2012. At OG&E, the increase was primarily due to revenues associated with transmission projects, favorable weather and new customer growth. Net income at the utility was $13 million, which included the previously announced one-time reserve associated with Oklahoma investment tax credits. At Enogex, earnings were lower primarily due to lower gross margins in the processing and transportation businesses primarily resulting from the previously announced conversion of a major customer to a fee-based processing arrangement and lower natural gas liquids prices partially offset by a 16 percent increase in processing volumes and a 15 percent increase in gathered volumes. Net income attributable to OGE Enogex Holdings decreased from $25 million in the first quarter of 2012 to $12 million in the first quarter of 2013 in part due to higher depreciation expense associated with system expansion in addition to lower gross margin on revenues.
