Allegheny Energy Reports Second Quarter 2006 Results
GREENSBURG, Pa., July 27, 2006 – Allegheny Energy, Inc. (NYSE: AYE) today reported consolidated net income of $31.1 million, or $0.18 per diluted share, for the second quarter of 2006, compared with a net loss of $18.4 million, or a loss of $0.12 per diluted share, for the same period in 2005.
To provide a better understanding of core results and trends, Allegheny Energy also reports adjusted financial results, as shown in the table below:
| Three Months Ended June 30 |
| 2006 | 2005 |
| $ millions | Per Share | $ millions | Per Share |
Consolidated net income (loss)-GAAP | $31.1 | $0.18 | $(18.4) | $(0.12) |
Adjusted income from continuing operations | 37.8 | 0.22 | 12.7 | 0.08 |
Adjusted income from continuing operations for the second quarter of 2006 excludes a $9.5 million (pre-tax) charge for the write-off of prior deferred financing costs, and a $0.9 million (after-tax) loss from discontinued operations.
Adjusted income from continuing operations for the second quarter of 2005 excludes costs of $47.2 million (pre-tax) related to an April 2005 tender offer for the company’s 11 7/8% convertible trust preferred securities, $11.2 million (pre-tax) received from a former trading executive’s forfeited assets and insurance proceeds of $6.7 million (pre-tax) related to the 2004 extended outage at the Hatfield’s Ferry power station. Also excluded from second quarter 2005 adjusted results is a $12.3 million after-tax loss from discontinued operations. Adjusted results are non-GAAP financial measures. A reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to results reported in accordance with GAAP is attached to this release.
“Better plant performance, higher Pennsylvania generation rates and lower depreciation, interest and taxes helped us deliver strong earnings growth in the second quarter,” said Paul J. Evanson, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer of Allegheny Energy. “Looking ahead, we remain focused on growing earnings, improving our environmental performance and expanding our transmission system.”

Second Quarter Consolidated Results
Income from continuing operations before income taxes and minority interest, as adjusted, was $58.5 million for the second quarter of 2006, an increase of $25.4 million compared to adjusted results for the same period in 2005. Key factors contributing to the improved results include:
| • | Operating revenues increased by $7.6 million, reflecting better performance and increased output at the power stations, higher generation rates in Pennsylvania and the expiration of a below-market contract with a Maryland industrial customer. These benefits were partially offset by moderate weather, lower market prices and the expiration of a power purchase agreement with the Ohio Valley Electric Corporation (OVEC) and a transmission capacity sales contract. |
| • | Purchased power expense decreased by $13.1 million, resulting primarily from reduced purchases from OVEC. |
| • | Fuel expense increased by $20.0 million, primarily due to both higher prices paid for coal and increased coal consumption. |
| • | Operations and maintenance expense decreased by $1.7 million compared to adjusted expense for the same period of 2005, reflecting lower costs for outside legal services, partly offset by information technology outsourcing start-up costs. Adjusted expense for the second quarter of 2005 excludes the insurance proceeds previously mentioned. |
| • | Depreciation expense decreased by $9.2 million, largely due to the previously reported extension of estimated depreciable lives of certain unregulated power plants. |
| • | Interest expense, excluding the adjustments to both periods as previously noted, decreased by $15.1 million compared to adjusted results for the same period in 2005 due to a lower debt balance and more favorable borrowing rates. |
The effective tax rate for the second quarter of 2006 was 34 percent, well below the effective tax rate for the second quarter of 2005, which was affected by adjustments to deferred state income taxes.
Earnings from continuing operations before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) for the quarter were $193.6 million, an increase of $0.9 million compared to adjusted EBITDA for the second quarter of 2005. EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure. Details on the calculation of EBITDA and a reconciliation of EBITDA to net income are attached to this release.
Second Quarter Segment Results
Delivery and Services: The segment reported income from continuing operations of $23.3 million for the second quarter of 2006, an increase of $6.4 million compared to the same quarter of the prior year. Operating revenues decreased by $30.7 million, and purchased power and transmission costs decreased by $21.1 million. Both revenues and purchased power decreased due to the Maryland contract expiration mentioned above, the 2005 sale of the Ohio service territory and moderate weather, partially offset by customer growth and higher generation rates in Pennsylvania and Maryland. Retail electric kilowatt hour sales decreased by 11.6 percent. The revenue decrease also reflects the expiration of a transmission capacity sales contract. Operations and maintenance expense decreased by $6.6 million. Interest expense decreased by $25.0 million, reflecting lower debt balances, lower borrowing rates and the 2005 tender offer costs, partially offset by the 2006 write-off of prior deferred financing costs. Income taxes increased by $12.4 million.
2
Generation and Marketing: The segment reported income from continuing operations of $8.7 million for the second quarter of 2006. For the same period in the prior year, the segment reported a loss from continuing operations of $23.0 million. Operating revenues and kilowatt-hours generated increased by $9.6 million and 1.3 percent, respectively. The increase in revenues was primarily due to increased power plant output, increased Pennsylvania generation rates and reduced commitments to sell power under low-priced (POLR) contracts pertaining to a Maryland industrial customer and Allegheny’s former Ohio service territory. These benefits were partly offset by lower market prices and the expiration of the OVEC agreement. Fuel costs increased by $20.0 million, reflecting both higher prices paid for coal and increased coal consumption. Purchased power and transmission decreased by $20.5 million, reflecting reduced purchases from OVEC. Operations and maintenance expenses increased by $11.2 million, reflecting the insurance proceeds received in 2005. Depreciation expense decreased by $8.1 million, largely due to the extension of the estimated lives of certain unregulated power plants, as mentioned above. Interest expense decreased by $27.0 million, reflecting lower debt outstanding, reduced borrowing costs and the 2005 tender offer costs, partially offset by the 2006 write-off of prior deferred financing costs. Other income decreased by $8.6 million, primarily as a result of the 2005 receipt of forfeited assets. Income taxes decreased by $5.4 million.
Discontinued Operations: Allegheny reported a $0.9 million (after-tax) loss on discontinued operations, compared to a $12.3 million loss in the same quarter of the prior year. The 2006 results relate to the Gleason generating facility. The 2005 results reflected a net impairment charge of $8.9 million (after-tax) on the West Virginia natural gas operations and Allegheny Energy’s Midwest generating facilities, as well as the operating performance of those assets. Allegheny sold the gas operations and the Wheatland generating facility during 2005.
Six-Month Consolidated Results
For the first six months of 2006, Allegheny reported consolidated net income of $144.5 million, or $0.86 per diluted share, as compared to net income of $24.2 million, or $0.16 per diluted share, for the first six months of 2005.
Adjusted net income from continuing operations was $152.0 million, or $0.90 per diluted share, for the first six months of 2006, compared to $71.4 million, or $0.48 per diluted share, for the same period of 2005. Adjusted net income from continuing operations is a non-GAAP financial measure, and excludes items mentioned above and other items described in the attached reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures.
Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This news release and the attached table include non-GAAP financial measures as defined in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s Regulation G. Where noted, we present financial information on an adjusted basis to exclude the effect of certain items as described herein.
