Spectra Energy Reports Fourth Quarter and Year-End 2009 Results
| | o | $1.18 ongoing 2009 diluted earnings per share (EPS); exceeded $1.15 EPS target. |
| | o | Placed $650 million of expansion projects into service, delivering returns on capital employed of more than 12 percent. |
| | o | Almost $3 billion in new expansion growth projects secured through customer contracts signed in 2009. |
| | o | 2010 expectation of $1.42 EPS; 8 to 10 percent compound annual EPS growth rate for 2010 to 2012. |
HOUSTON –Spectra Energy Corp (NYSE: SE) today reported 2009 net income from controlling interests of $848 million, or $1.32 diluted EPS, compared with $1.13 billion, or $1.81 diluted EPS in 2008. Ongoing 2009 net income was $758 million, or $1.18 diluted EPS, compared with $1.14 billion, $1.83 diluted EPS, in the prior year.
2009 year-end results reflect strong earnings growth from expansion projects brought into service in both 2008 and 2009. These results were more than offset by lower commodity prices relative to the record-high prices seen in 2008 and a weaker Canadian dollar.
1
The company reported 2009 fourth quarter net income from controlling interests of $219 million, or $0.34 diluted EPS, compared with $171 million, $0.28 diluted EPS, in the prior year quarter. Ongoing net income from controlling interests for the 2009 quarter was $217 million, or $0.33 diluted EPS, versus $197 million, $0.32 diluted EPS, in the prior year quarter.
The 2009 fourth quarter results reflect the effects of improving commodity prices, a stronger Canadian dollar and increased gathering and processing revenues at Western Canada Transmission & Processing.
“We experienced solid earnings and strong performance from our core, fee-based businesses last year. We also executed extremely well on our capital expansion projects and signed multiple new customer contracts, which will fuel continued growth,” said Greg Ebel, president and chief executive officer, Spectra Energy Corp. “We finished the year financially strong and that momentum gives us confidence in our ability to achieve 20 percent earnings growth this year.”
“We will continue our focus on securing new growth opportunities for the future, as well as executing on our current portfolio of attractive expansion projects – projects that will deliver returns in excess of 12 percent, and that underpin our strong, sustainable earnings growth,” said Ebel.
SEGMENT RESULTS
U.S. Transmission
U.S. Transmission reported fourth quarter 2009 earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT) of $204 million, compared with $161 million in fourth quarter 2008. The 2008 period included a $44 million special item for an impairment of the Islander East project.
Ongoing EBIT for fourth quarter 2009 was $204 million and, excluding the above special item, compares with $205 million in the prior year quarter. The segment benefited during the 2009 quarter from business expansion projects placed into service during 2009. These earnings were offset by the timing of operating and maintenance
2
expenses, including increased pipeline integrity and lower capitalized costs. In addition, the 2008 quarter included a favorable customer settlement.
Year-end reported EBIT for U.S. Transmission was $894 million, compared with $844 million in 2008.
Distribution
Distribution reported fourth quarter 2009 EBIT of $96 million, compared with $90 million in fourth quarter 2008. Excluding the effect of a stronger Canadian dollar, earnings were $7 million lower than in the 2008 quarter, primarily a result of warmer weather.
Year-end reported EBIT for Distribution was $336 million, compared with $353 million in 2008.
Western Canada Transmission & Processing
Western Canada Transmission & Processing reported fourth quarter 2009 EBIT of $120 million, compared with $65 million in fourth quarter 2008. Beyond the effect of the stronger Canadian dollar, which added $16 million to earnings this quarter compared with last year, the increase was due mainly to higher frac spreads affecting our Empress natural gas liquids (NGL) earnings. The segment also benefited from improved results in the base gathering and processing business, primarily driven by higher contracted volumes and revenues from expansions.
Year-end reported EBIT for Western Canada Transmission & Processing was $343 million, compared with $398 million in 2008.
Field Services
Field Services reported fourth quarter 2009 EBIT of $77 million, compared with $69 million in fourth quarter 2008. The increase in earnings was driven by higher commodity prices. During fourth quarter 2009, crude oil averaged approximately $76 per barrel, compared with approximately $59 per barrel in the prior year quarter, and the NGL to crude relationship averaged 53 percent versus 46 percent in fourth quarter 2008. These results were partially offset by non-cash mark-to-market losses in fourth quarter 2009, compared with gains in fourth quarter 2008 on hedges used to protect
3
distributable cash flow at DCP Midstream’s master limited partnership. Volumes were lower in fourth quarter 2009 versus 2008; however, drilling activity and rig counts around DCP Midstream’s assets have continued to increase since the first half of 2009.
DCP Midstream paid distributions of $70 million to Spectra Energy for the 2009 quarter and $100 million for the year.
Year-end reported EBIT for Field Services was $296 million, compared with $716 million in 2008.
Other
“Other” reported net costs of $28 million in fourth quarter 2009, compared with net costs of $21 million in fourth quarter 2008. This increase primarily reflects higher benefit costs.
Year-end reported net costs for “Other” were $74 million, compared with $78 million in 2008.
Interest Expense
Interest expense was $154 million for fourth quarter 2009, compared with $166 million for the 2008 quarter. The decrease was primarily due to the benefit of interest rate swaps and lower commercial paper balances, partially offset by the effects of a stronger Canadian dollar during the 2009 quarter.
Interest expense for 2009 was $610 million, compared with $636 million in 2008.
Income Taxes
Fourth quarter 2009 income tax expense from continuing operations was $93 million, compared with $43 million in fourth quarter 2008. The increase was primarily a result of higher earnings in 2009. The effective tax rate was 28 percent in fourth quarter 2009, compared with 19 percent in fourth quarter 2008. The lower effective tax rate in fourth quarter 2008 was due to favorable adjustments in 2008 for final 2007 tax returns, and lower 2008 state income taxes.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
We use ongoing net income and ongoing diluted EPS, which are non-GAAP financial measures as they represent net income (controlling interests) and diluted EPS, adjusted for special items and discontinued operations, as measures to evaluate operations of the company. Special items represent certain charges and credits which we believe will not be recurring on a regular basis, and discontinued operations do not represent our ongoing core business. We believe that the presentation of ongoing net income and ongoing diluted EPS provide useful information to investors, as it allows them to more accurately compare our ongoing performance across periods.
The primary performance measure used by us to evaluate segment performance is segment EBIT from continuing operations, which at the segment level represents earnings from continuing operations (both operating and non-operating) before interest and taxes, net of noncontrolling interests related to those earnings. We consider segment EBIT, which is the GAAP measure used to report segment results, to be a good indicator of each segment’s operating performance from its continuing operations as it represents the results of our ownership interest in operations without regard to financing methods or capital structures.
We also use ongoing segment and Other EBIT as a measure of performance. Ongoing segment and Other EBIT is a non-GAAP financial measure as it represents reported segment and Other EBIT adjusted for special items. We believe that the presentation of ongoing segment and Other EBIT provides useful information to investors, as it allows them to more accurately compare a segment’s or Other’s ongoing performance across periods. The most directly comparable GAAP measure for ongoing segment or Other EBIT is reported segment or Other EBIT, which represents EBIT from continuing operations, including any special items.
6
We use Return on Capital Employed (ROCE) as a measure of the profitability of capital projects. ROCE is a non-GAAP financial measure and may not be defined and calculated by other companies in the same manner. ROCE as it relates to capital expansion projects is calculated by Spectra Energy as earnings before interest and taxes generated by a project divided by the total cost of a project.
