Pepco Holdings Reports Second-Quarter 2007 Earnings; | |
Pepco Holdings, Inc. (NYSE: POM) today reported second quarter 2007 consolidated earnings of $57.2 million, or 30 cents per share, compared to $51.2 million, or 27 cents per share, in the second quarter of 2006. There were no special items for the second quarter of 2007 or the second quarter of 2006. The weighted average shares outstanding for the second quarter of 2007 were 193.0 million compared to 190.2 million for the second quarter of 2006. | |
The increase in earnings for the second quarter of 2007 as compared to the 2006 quarter was due primarily to higher weather related kWh sales at Power Delivery, higher Merchant Generation and Load Service margins at Conectiv Energy driven primarily by higher generation output, and higher Pepco Energy Services earnings related primarily to Energy Services construction activity. Partially offsetting these increases were higher operation and maintenance expenses at Power Delivery and Conectiv Energy and the impact on Power Delivery of lower network transmission revenue resulting from a true-up in the 2006 transmission rates for rates in effect in 2005. | |
"We recently achieved another regulatory milestone with the electric distribution rate orders received from the Maryland Public Service Commission for Pepco and Delmarva Power," said Dennis R. Wraase, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer. "Importantly, the orders approved the implementation of the Bill Stabilization Adjustment Mechanism which is a key element of our previously announced "Blueprint for the Future." We are committed to aggressively pursuing energy efficiency and demand-side management programs, along with infrastructure development, to help our customers better manage their energy usage, and these orders provide a critical step toward that objective." He added, "In addition to the approval of the Bill Stabilization Adjustment Mechanism, the orders approved rate increases for Pepco and Delmarva Power and mostly reflected the adherence to regulatory precedents." | |
For the six months ended June 30, 2007, consolidated earnings were $108.8 million, or 56 cents per share, compared to $108.0 million, or 56 cents per share, for the same period in the prior year. There were no special items in the six months ended June 30, 2007. Excluding the special items described below, earnings for the six months ended June 30, 2006, would have been $104.3 million, or 54 cents per share. The weighted average shares outstanding for the six months ended June 30, 2007 were 192.6 million compared to 190.0 million for the same period in the prior year. |

The increase in earnings for the six months ended June 30, 2007, compared to earnings excluding special items for the same period in the prior year was driven primarily by higher weather related kWh sales at Power Delivery and increased Merchant Generation and Load Service margins at Conectiv Energy due to higher generation output and higher margin supply contracts. Partially offsetting these increases were higher operation and maintenance expenses at Power Delivery and Conectiv Energy and the impact on Power Delivery of lower network transmission revenue resulting from a true-up in the 2006 transmission rates for rates in effect in 2005. |
Second-Quarter Highlights |
Operations |
· | Power Delivery electric sales were 12,145 gigawatt hours (GWhs) in the second quarter of 2007 compared to 11,670 GWhs for the same period last year. Heating degree days (electric service territory) increased by 45% for the three months ended June 30, 2007, as compared to the same period in 2006. Cooling degree days (electric service territory) increased by 24% for the three months ended June 30, 2007, compared to the same period in 2006. Weather adjusted electric sales were 11,816 GWhs in the second quarter of 2007 compared to 11,842 GWhs for the same period last year. |
· | Conectiv Energy's gross margin from Merchant Generation and Load Service was $51.4 million in the second quarter of 2007, compared to $47.0 million in the second quarter of 2006. The increase resulted primarily from higher generation output. |
· | Conectiv Energy's total generating output was 1,172 GWhs in the second quarter of 2007 compared to 834 GWhs in the second quarter of 2006. The increase resulted primarily from a cooler April 2007 and a hotter June 2007. |
· | Pepco Energy Services' gross margin from Retail Energy Supply was $20.9 million in the second quarter of 2007, compared to $18.4 million in the second quarter of 2006. The increase was driven by higher retail electric volumes and more favorable natural gas margins. |
· | Pepco Energy Services had retail electric sales of 4,416 GWhs in the second quarter of 2007, compared to 2,753 GWhs in the second quarter of 2006. This increase primarily reflects the acquisition of additional commercial and industrial customer loads. |
Regulatory Matters |
· | On July 19, 2007, the Maryland Public Service Commission issued an order in Pepco's base rate case. The order authorizes a $10.6 million increase in electric distribution base rates annually, effective June 16, 2007, and a 10% return on equity. The order also authorizes a change in depreciation rates that results in a $30.7 million reduction in pre-tax annual depreciation expense and the adoption of a Bill Stabilization |

Adjustment Mechanism, which decouples revenues from kilowatt-hour sales. The change in rates is deemed to be temporary pending resolution of a second phase of the proceeding for the purpose of examining Pepco's compliance with its Cost Allocation Manual. | |
· | On July 19, 2007, the Maryland Public Service Commission issued an order in Delmarva Power's base rate case. The order authorizes a $14.9 million increase in electric distribution base rates annually, effective June 16, 2007, and a 10% return on equity. The order also authorizes a change in depreciation rates that results in a $0.9 million reduction in pre-tax annual depreciation expense and the adoption of a Bill Stabilization Adjustment Mechanism, which decouples revenues from kilowatt-hour sales. The change in rates is deemed to be temporary pending resolution of a second phase of the proceeding for the purpose of determining Delmarva Power's compliance with its Cost Allocation Manual. |
· | On June 13, 2007, Delmarva Power entered into agreements to sell all of its distribution assets and substantially all of its transmission assets in Virginia for an aggregate sales price of approximately $45 million, subject to closing adjustments. The buyer of the distribution assets is A&N Electric Cooperative and the sale is contingent upon the approval of the Virginia State Corporation Commission. The buyer of the transmission assets is Old Dominion Electric Cooperative and the sale is contingent upon approvals by the Virginia State Corporation Commission and the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission. The transactions are expected to close in the fourth quarter. |
· | On June 8, 2007, the Virginia State Corporation Commission issued an order stating that the fuel index procedure that was put into place when Delmarva Power sold its generating plants remains applicable on and after July 1, 2007 for purposes of establishing Delmarva Power's fuel factor. Delmarva Power had asserted that the fuel index procedure would not be effective after June 30, 2007. On July 31, 2007, Delmarva Power appealed the Commission's decision to the Supreme Court of Virginia. |
· | On June 8, 2007, the Maryland Public Service Commission issued an order establishing a Pepco/Delmarva Power collaborative on near-term utility sponsored demand-side management initiatives and a state-wide collaborative on advanced metering initiatives and demand-side management programs. |
· | On April 23, 2007, the District of Columbia Public Service Commission issued an order opening a proceeding to consider Pepco's "Blueprint for the Future" application which includes plans for demand-side management programs, advanced metering, and distribution automation. |
· | On June 27, 2007, Conectiv Energy filed its compliance plan as required by the Delaware Multi-Pollutant Regulations. These regulations identified Edge Moor Units 3, 4 and 5 as being subject to its provisions for limiting NOX, SO2,and mercury emissions. The plan filed by Conectiv Energy includes installation of a sodium-based sorbent injection system, Selective Non-Catalytic Reduction (SNCR) systems and carbon injection for Units 3 and 4 and low sulfur oil and a SNCR system at Unit 5. Conectiv Energy believes that with these modifications, it can meet the requirements of the new regulations at an estimated capital cost of $50 million to $80 million, most of which will be spent from 2007 through 2009. |

Notes: | |||||||
(1) | Merchant Generation and Load Service is comprised of the two business activities that previously were reported separately as Merchant Generation and Full Requirements Load Service. The combination of the two activities for reporting purposes has been implemented because Full Requirements Load Service contracts are primarily used, along with other hedges already considered part of Merchant Generation, to hedge capacity and energy output from Conectiv Energy's generating plants. Merchant Generation and Load Service consists primarily of electric power, capacity and ancillary services sales from Conectiv Energy's generating plants; tolling arrangements entered into to sell energy and other products from Conectiv Energy's generating plants and entered into to purchase energy and other products from other companies' generating plants; hedges of power, capacity, fuel and load; the sale of excess fuel (primarily natural gas) and emission allowances; electric power, capacity, and ancillary services sales pursuant to competitively bid contracts entered into with affiliated and non-affiliated companies to fulfill their Default Electricity Supply obligations; and fuel switching activities made possible by the multi-fuel capabilities of some of Conectiv Energy's generating plants. | ||||||
(2) | The activity designated as "Other Power, Oil and Gas Marketing Services" in previous reports has been renamed "Energy Marketing." The activities continue to consist primarily of wholesale natural gas marketing and fuel oil marketing; the activities of the real-time power desk which generates margin by identifying and capturing price differences between power pools, and locational and timing differences within a power pool; and prior to October 31, 2006, providing operating services under an agreement with an unaffiliated power plant. Beginning in 2007, power origination activities have been reclassified into Energy Marketing from Merchant Generation and Load Service. | ||||||
(3) | Higher generating plant output during the second quarter of 2007 compared to the 2006 quarter was due to a cooler April 2007 and a warmer June 2007, which resulted in a 41% increase in output. | ||||||
(4) | Higher generating plant output during the first half of 2007 compared to the 2006 period was due to colder weather in the first quarter and a warmer June 2007, which resulted in a 34% increase in output. | ||||||
(5) | Lower load service volumes during the second quarter and first half of 2007 compared to the 2006 periods resulted from the termination of the Delaware POLR load obligation in April 2006, which was partially offset with new, higher margin load service contracts. | ||||||
(6) | Higher Merchant Generation and Load Service gross margins during the second quarter of 2007 compared to the 2006 quarter were driven by a 41% increase in generation output, favorable default supply load bidding results, and gas remarketing. These items were partially offset by less favorable results on natural gas hedging activities and the expiration of an agreement with an international investment banking firm to hedge approximately 50% of the commodity price risk of Conectiv Energy's generation and Default Electricity Supply commitment to Delmarva Power. | ||||||
(7) | Higher Merchant Generation and Load Service gross margins during the first half of 2007 compared to the 2006 period were driven by a 34% increase in generation output, higher margin Default Electricity Supply contracts, and gas remarketing. These items were partially offset by the expiration of an agreement with an international investment banking firm to hedge approximately 50% of the commodity price risk of Conectiv Energy's generation and Default Electricity Supply commitment to Delmarva Power and less favorable results on natural gas hedging activities. | ||||||
(8) | Higher Energy Marketing gross margins during the second quarter of 2007 compared to the 2006 quarter resulted primarily from true-ups related to an unaffiliated generation operating services agreement and increases in power origination and gas origination margins, partially offset by decreases in oil marketing margins and real-time power margins. Beginning in 2007, power origination activities have been reclassified into Energy Marketing from Merchant Generation and Load Service. | ||||||
(9) | Higher Energy Marketing gross margins during the first half of 2007 compared to the 2006 period resulted primarily from true-ups related to an unaffiliated generation operating services agreement and an increase in power origination margins, partially offset by a decrease in real-time power margins. Beginning in 2007, power origination activities have been reclassified into Energy Marketing from Merchant Generation and Load Service. | ||||||
(10) | Higher operating and maintenance expenses during the second quarter and first half of 2007 compared to the 2006 periods were primarily due to higher maintenance expenses at the power plants. |
