Item 9. Regulation FD Disclosure
Pinnacle West is providing quarterly consolidated statistical summaries, earnings variance explanations, and a glossary of relevant terms (collectively, “Information”) to help interested parties better understand its business. This Information is concurrently being posted to Pinnacle West’s website at www.pinnaclewest.com. The Information may not represent all of the factors that could affect Pinnacle West’s operating or financial results for various periods. Some of the Information is preliminary in nature and could be subject to significant adjustment. Some of the Information is based on information received from third parties and may contain inaccuracies. Pinnacle West is not responsible for any such inaccuracies. Although Pinnacle West may update or correct the Information if it is aware that such Information has been revised or is inaccurate, Pinnacle West assumes no obligation to update or correct the Information and reserves the right to discontinue the provision of all or any portion of the Information at any time or to change the type of Information provided.
Item 12. Results of Operations and Financial Condition
Certain of the Information relates to the Company’s results of operations for its fiscal quarter and fiscal year ended December 31, 2003. This Information is incorporated into this Report on Form 8-K from a Pinnacle West filing (see Exhibits 99.1, 99.2, and 99.3).
On January 29, 2004, Pinnacle West issued a press release regarding its financial results for its fiscal quarter and fiscal year ended December 31, 2003. A copy of the press release is being incorporated by reference into this Report on Form 8-K from a Pinnacle West filing (see Exhibit 99.4).
The information in Exhibits 99.1, 99.2, 99.3 and 99.4 of this report relating to Pinnacle West’s financial results for its fiscal quarter and fiscal year ended December 31, 2003 shall not be deemed to be “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) or otherwise subject to the liability of that section, and shall not be incorporated by reference into any registration statement or other document filed under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Exchange Act, except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference in such filing.
Exhibit 99.4 to this report contains certain “non-GAAP financial measures,” as defined in Item 10(e) of Regulation S-K of the Exchange Act. The non-GAAP financial measures, which we describe as “on-going earnings” and “on-going earnings per share,” exclude from net income: income tax credits related to prior years and recorded in 2003; previously disclosed, non-recurring charges in 2002; and a 2002 charge for the cumulative effect of an accounting change. Exhibit 99.4 reconciles each of these non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable financial measure calculated and presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”). We believe on-going earnings provide investors with a useful indicator of our and Pinnacle West’s results that is comparable among periods because it excludes the effects of unusual items that may occur on an irregular basis. Investors should note that these non-GAAP financial measures involve judgments by management, including whether an item is classified as an unusual item. We use on-going earnings, or similar concepts, to internally measure performance in reports for management.
