COLUMBUS, Ohio, July 31, 2007 - American Electric Power (NYSE: AEP) today reported 2007 second-quarter earnings, prepared in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP), of $180 million, or $0.45 per share, compared with $175 million, or $0.44 per share, for second-quarter 2006.
Ongoing earnings (earnings excluding special items) for second-quarter 2007 were $257 million, or $0.64 per share, compared with $172 million, or $0.44 per share, for second-quarter 2006.
GAAP earnings were lower than ongoing earnings by $77 million for the quarter, primarily because of the effect of Virginia re-regulation, enacted in April 2007, which resulted in a return to a form of cost-based regulation for the generation portion of electric utility service in Virginia. A full reconciliation of GAAP earnings to ongoing earnings for the quarter and year to date is included in the tables at the end of this news release.

“The second quarter was a very good one for our utilities, with ongoing earnings from our Utility Operations segment 50 percent higher than last year,” said Michael G. Morris, chairman, president and chief executive officer of AEP. “There were a number of positive factors contributing to this improvement. We’re seeing the benefit of rate changes in a number of our jurisdictions, and of new contracts with municipal and cooperative customers. The weather was more favorable than last year, and our generation fleet experienced fewer unplanned outages.
“Our relatively new Generation and Marketing segment continues to show growth, which offset the anticipated decline in ongoing earnings from our MEMCO barge operations after its stellar performance last year,” Morris said.
EARNINGS GUIDANCE
AEP reaffirmed its ongoing guidance range for 2007 of between $2.85 and $3.05 per share. In providing ongoing earnings guidance, there could be differences between ongoing earnings and GAAP earnings for matters such as, but not limited to, divestitures or changes in accounting principles. AEP management is not able to estimate the impact, if any, on GAAP earnings of these items. Therefore, AEP is not able to provide a corresponding GAAP equivalent for earnings guidance.

Ongoing earnings from Utility Operations increased by $79 million during the second quarter of 2007 when compared with the same period last year. Higher gross margins from retail sales, off-system sales, transmission and other margins were somewhat offset by higher expenses than those recorded in the same period in 2006.
A decrease in northbound freight demand, primarily related to steel and cement imports, has depressed spot market freight rates and reduced second-quarter 2007 ongoing earnings for AEP’s MEMCO barge operations when compared with the same period in 2006. MEMCO also reported higher operating expenses, primarily because of a 15 percent increase in barges operated in second-quarter 2007, higher fuel costs and wage increases for boat crews. MEMCO’s results in the prior period reflected a very strong freight market and higher rates.
2
Generation and Marketing, which includes AEP’s non-regulated generating, marketing and risk management activities, primarily in the Electric Reliability Council of Texas (ERCOT) market area, benefited from favorable marketing contracts with municipalities and cooperatives in ERCOT to increase its ongoing earnings in second-quarter 2007 compared with the prior period.
Results from All Other, which includes the Parent Company and other investments, were relatively flat in second-quarter 2007 when compared with the prior period.

Retail Sales - Increased usage across most customer classifications, favorable weather, the effect of rate changes - primarily in the Ohio and Texas companies - and new contracts with municipal and cooperative customers improved the results in second-quarter 2007 when compared with the prior period. The favorable factors were somewhat offset by the unfavorable effect of the final order issued by the Virginia State Corporation Commission on Appalachian Power Company’s base-rate filing. The order resulted in a provision of approximately $50 million for the refund of a portion of revenues collected from Virginia customers since October 2006, but other offsetting items included in the Virginia order reduced the second-quarter negative pre-tax earnings impact to approximately $3 million. A second provision, for $25 million, covers refunds to Texas customers of Southwestern Electric Power Company resulting from a Proposal for Decision by the Public Utilities Commission of Texas on a fuel reconciliation proceeding. Both provisions were included in Retail Sales.

Heating degree days in AEP’s eastern territory in the second quarter were 28 percent higher than normal and 108 percent higher than the prior period; cooling degree days were 34 percent higher than normal and 61 percent higher than the prior period. In AEP’s western territory, which includes AEP’s Public Service Company of Oklahoma and Southwestern Electric Power Company utility subsidiaries, cooling degree days in the second quarter were 5 percent below normal and 24 percent below the prior period.
“Typically when a utility talks about favorable weather, it refers to temperatures that increase sales,” Morris said. “Using that traditional definition, favorable weather helped our earnings in the second quarter. But weather in a more general sense hurt earnings of our Public Service Company of Oklahoma utility unit and, more importantly, hurt our customers in Oklahoma. It rained in Oklahoma the last 18 days of June, pushing the state beyond its annual average for precipitation in just six months and causing the most severe flooding Oklahomans had seen in more than half a century.”
Off-System Sales - Higher power prices and lower costs increased gross margins from Off-System Sales for second-quarter 2007 by $52 million compared with the same period in 2006.
Transmission Revenues - Transmission Revenues increased $22 million in the second quarter when compared with the 2006 period, primarily because of a provision recorded in second-quarter 2006 regarding potential refunds related to the cessation of the Seams Elimination Charge Adjustment, or SECA rates. The rates, which were put into place in December 2004 in various AEP jurisdictions in the East by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) to offset the loss of through-and-out rates brought by a change in the commission’s authorized tariffs, ended on April 1, 2006. Intervenors objected to the SECA rates and sought refunds. FERC has not issued a final order regarding potential refunds.
Other Operating Revenue - Higher securitization revenue at AEP’s Texas Central Company in second-quarter 2007 led to an increase in Other Operating Revenue when compared with the prior period.
Operations & Maintenance Expense - Lower administrative and general expenses and reduced expenses for storm restoration in second-quarter 2007 helped to reduce O&M expenses when compared to last year’s second quarter.
Depreciation & Amortization - The increase in Depreciation & Amortization in second-quarter 2007, when compared with the prior period, is primarily attributed to increased regulatory amortization related to securitization at AEP Texas Central and an increase in depreciable plant. A change in depreciation rates in Indiana, approved in mid-June by the Indiana Utility Regulatory Commission, had little effect on the second quarter but will have a positive impact moving forward.
4
Interest Expense & Preferred Dividends - Increased long-term debt, including the issuance of securitization bonds in October 2006 at AEP Texas Central Company, led to the increase in Interest Expense from the prior period.
Other Income & Deductions - The decrease in Other Income & Deductions from the prior period is the result of lower carrying cost income after AEP’s Texas Central began recovering stranded costs during fourth-quarter 2006.
Income Taxes - Income taxes for second-quarter 2007 were higher than in the prior period because of increased taxable income.

American Electric Power is one of the largest electric utilities in the United States, delivering electricity to more than 5 million customers in 11 states. AEP ranks among the nation’s largest generators of electricity, owning more than 38,000 megawatts of generating capacity in the U.S. AEP also owns the nation’s largest electricity transmission system, a nearly 39,000-mile network that includes more 765 kilovolt extra-high voltage transmission lines than all other U.S. transmission systems combined. AEP’s transmission system directly or indirectly serves about 10 percent of the electricity demand in the Eastern Interconnection, the interconnected transmission system that covers 38 eastern and central U.S. states and eastern Canada, and approximately 11 percent of the electricity demand in ERCOT, the transmission system that covers much of Texas. AEP’s utility units operate as AEP Ohio, AEP Texas, Appalachian Power (in Virginia and West Virginia), AEP Appalachian Power (in Tennessee), Indiana Michigan Power, Kentucky Power, Public Service Company of Oklahoma, and Southwestern Electric Power Company (in Arkansas, Louisiana and east Texas). AEP’s headquarters are in Columbus, Ohio.

AEP’s earnings are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States and represent the company’s earnings as reported to the Securities and Exchange Commission. AEP’s management believes that the company’s ongoing earnings, or GAAP earnings adjusted for certain items as described in the news release and charts, provide a more meaningful representation of the company’s performance. AEP uses ongoing earnings as the primary performance measurement when communicating with analysts and investors regarding its earnings outlook and results. The company also uses ongoing earnings data internally to measure performance against budget and to report to AEP’s board of directors.
