DPL Inc.
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)
Note 1 – Overview and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Description of Business
DPL is a regional energy company organized in 1985 under the laws of Ohio. DPL has 1 reportable segment: the Utility segment. See Note 11 – Business Segments for more information relating to this reportable segment. The terms “we,” “us,” “our” and “ours” are used to refer to DPL and its subsidiaries.
DPL is an indirectly wholly-owned subsidiary of AES.
DP&L, a wholly-owned subsidiary of DPL, is a public utility incorporated in 1911 under the laws of Ohio. Beginning in 2001, Ohio law gave Ohio consumers the right to choose the electric generation supplier from whom they purchase retail generation service; however, retail transmission and distribution services are still regulated. DP&L has the exclusive right to provide such transmission and distribution services to approximately 524,000 customers located in West Central Ohio. Additionally, DP&L provides retail SSO electric service to residential, commercial, industrial and governmental customers in a 6,000-square mile area of West Central Ohio. Principal industries located in DP&L’s service territory include automotive, food processing, paper, plastic, health care, data management, manufacturing and defense. Following the issuance of the DRO in September 2018 and the resulting changes to the decoupling rider effective January 1, 2019, DP&L's distribution sales are primarily impacted by customer growth within our service territory. DP&L sells its proportional share of energy and capacity from its investment in OVEC into the wholesale market.
DPL’s other primary subsidiaries include MVIC and AES Ohio Generation. MVIC is our captive insurance company that provides insurance services to DPL and our other subsidiaries. AES Ohio Generation's only operating asset is an undivided interest in Conesville. AES Ohio Generation sells all of its energy and capacity into the wholesale market. DPL's subsidiaries are all wholly-owned.
DPL also has a wholly-owned business trust, DPL Capital Trust II, formed for the purpose of issuing trust capital securities to investors.
DP&L’s electric transmission and distribution businesses are subject to rate regulation by federal and state regulators. Accordingly, DP&L applies the accounting standards for regulated operations to its electric transmission and distribution businesses and records regulatory assets when incurred costs are expected to be recovered in future customer rates, and regulatory liabilities when current cost recoveries in customer rates relate to expected future costs.
DPL and its subsidiaries employed 653 people as of September 30, 2019, of which 642 were employed by DP&L. Approximately 57% of all DPL employees are under a collective bargaining agreement, which expires October 31, 2020.
Financial Statement Presentation
DPL’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of DPL and its wholly-owned subsidiaries except for DPL Capital Trust II, which is not consolidated, consistent with the provisions of GAAP. As of September 30, 2019, AES Ohio Generation has an undivided ownership interest in 1 coal-fired generating facility, which is included in the financial statements at a carrying value of 0 as it has been fully impaired. Operating revenues and expenses of this facility are included on a pro rata basis in the corresponding lines in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.
Certain immaterial amounts from prior periods have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation.
All material intercompany accounts and transactions are eliminated in consolidation. We have evaluated subsequent events through the date this report is issued.
These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with GAAP for interim financial statements, the instructions of Form 10-Q and Regulation S-X. Accordingly, certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in the annual financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been omitted from this interim
13
report. Therefore, our interim financial statements in this report should be read along with the annual financial statements included in our Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2018.
In the opinion of our management, the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements presented in this report contain all adjustments necessary to fairly state our financial position as of September 30, 2019; our results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, our cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018 and the changes in our equity for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018. Unless otherwise noted, all adjustments are normal and recurring in nature. Due to various factors, interim results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 may not be indicative of our results that will be realized for the full year ending December 31, 2019.
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, and the revenues and expenses of the periods reported. Actual results could differ from these estimates. Significant items subject to such estimates and judgments include: recognition of revenue including unbilled revenues, the carrying value of property, plant and equipment; the valuation of derivative instruments; the valuation of insurance and claims liabilities; the valuation of allowances for receivables and deferred income taxes; regulatory assets and liabilities; liabilities recorded for income tax exposures; litigation; contingencies; the valuation of AROs; and assets and liabilities related to employee benefits.
Cash, Cash Equivalents, and Restricted Cash
The following table provides a summary of cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash amounts reported on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet that reconcile to the total of such amounts as shown on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows:
$ in millions | September 30, 2019 | December 31, 2018 | ||||||

Accounting for Taxes Collected from Customers and Remitted to Governmental Authorities
DP&L collects certain excise taxes levied by state or local governments from its customers. These taxes are accounted for on a net basis and not included in revenue. The amounts of such taxes collected for the three months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018 were $13.0 million and $13.8 million, respectively. The amounts of such taxes collected for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018 were $37.3 million and $39.2 million, respectively.
New accounting pronouncements adopted in 2019 – The following table provides a brief description of recently adopted accounting pronouncements that had an impact on our consolidated financial statements. Accounting pronouncements not listed below were assessed and determined to be either not applicable or did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
ASU Number and Name | Description | Date of Adoption | Effect on the financial statements upon adoption |
2018-02, Income Statement — Reporting Comprehensive Income (Topic 220), Reclassification of Certain Tax Effects from AOCI | This amendment allows a reclassification of the stranded tax effects resulting from the implementation of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act from AOCI to retained earnings at the election of the filer. Because this amendment only relates to the reclassification of the income tax effects of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, the underlying guidance that requires that the effect of a change in tax laws or rates be included in income from continuing operations is not affected. | January 1, 2019 | We have not elected to reclassify any amounts to retained earnings. Our accounting policy for releasing the income tax effects from AOCI occurs on a portfolio basis. |
14
ASU Number and Name | Description | Date of Adoption | Effect on the financial statements upon adoption |
2017-12, Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Targeted improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities | The standard updates the hedge accounting model to expand the ability to hedge nonfinancial and financial risk components, reduce complexity, and ease certain documentation and assessment requirements. When facts and circumstances are the same as at the previous quantitative test, a subsequent quantitative effectiveness test is not required. The standard also eliminates the requirement to separately measure and report hedge ineffectiveness. For cash flow hedges, this means that the entire change in the fair value of a hedging instrument will be recorded in other comprehensive income and amounts deferred will be reclassified to earnings in the same income statement line as the hedged item. Transition method: modified retrospective with the cumulative effect adjustment recorded to the opening balance of retained earnings as of the initial application date. Prospective for presentation and disclosures. | January 1, 2019 | The adoption of this standard had no material impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements. |
2016-02, 2018-01, 2018-10, 2018-11 Leases (Topic 842) | See "Adoption of FASC Topic 842, Leases" below. | January 1, 2019 | See impact upon adoption of the standard below. |
Adoption of FASC Topic 842, "Leases"
On January 1, 2019, we adopted ASU 2016-02 Leases and its subsequent corresponding updates (“FASC 842”). Under this standard, lessees are required to recognize assets and liabilities for most leases and recognize expenses in a manner similar to the current accounting method. For lessors, the guidance modifies the lease classification criteria and the accounting for sales-type and direct financing leases. The guidance eliminates current real estate-specific provisions.
Under FASC 842, it is expected that fewer contracts will contain a lease. However, due to the elimination of the real estate-specific guidance and changes to certain lessor classification criteria, more leases will qualify as sales-type leases and direct financing leases. Under these two models, a lessor will derecognize the asset and will recognize a net investment in a lease. According to FASC 842, the net investment in the lease includes the fair value of the plant after the contract period but does not include variable payments such as margin on the sale of energy. Therefore, the net investment in the lease could be significantly different than the carrying amount of the underlying asset at lease commencement. In such circumstances, the difference between the initially recognized net investment in the lease and the carrying amount of the underlying asset is recognized as a gain/loss at lease commencement.
During the course of adopting FASC 842, we applied various practical expedients including:
• | The package of practical expedients (applied to all leases) that allowed lessees and lessors not to reassess: |
a. | whether any expired or existing contracts are or contain leases, |
b. | lease classification for any expired or existing leases, and |
c. | whether initial direct costs for any expired or existing leases qualify for capitalization under FASC 842. |
• | The transition practical expedient related to land easements, allowing us to carry forward our accounting treatment for land easements on existing agreements, and |
• | The transition practical expedient for lessees that allowed businesses to not separate lease and non-lease components. We applied the practical expedient to all classes of underlying assets when valuing right-of-use assets and lease liabilities. Contracts where we are the lessor were separated between the lease and non-lease components. |
We applied the modified retrospective method of adoption and elected to continue to apply the guidance in FASC 840 Leases to the comparative periods presented in the year of adoption. Under this transition method, we applied the transition provisions starting at the date of adoption.
The adoption of FASC 842 did not have a material impact on our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

New Accounting Pronouncements Issued But Not Yet Effective – The following table provides a brief description of recent accounting pronouncements that could have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements. Accounting pronouncements not listed below were assessed and determined to be either not applicable or are expected to have no material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
ASU Number and Name | Description | Date of Adoption | Effect on the financial statements upon adoption |
2016-13, 2019-04, 2019-05, Financial Instruments — Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments | See discussion of the ASU below. | January 1, 2020 | We will adopt the standard on January 1, 2020; see below for the evaluation of the impact of the adoption on the condensed consolidated financial statements. |
ASU 2016-13 and its subsequent corresponding updates will update the impairment model for financial assets measured at amortized cost. For trade and other receivables, held-to-maturity debt securities, loans and other instruments, entities will be required to use a new forward-looking "expected loss" model that generally will result in the earlier recognition of allowance for losses. For available-for-sale debt securities with unrealized losses, entities will measure credit losses as it is done today, except that the losses will be recognized as an allowance rather than a reduction in the amortized cost of the securities. There are various transition methods available upon adoption.
We are currently evaluating the impact of adopting the standard on our condensed consolidated financial statements; however, it is expected that the new current expected credit loss model will primarily impact the calculation of expected credit losses on $70.2 million in gross trade accounts receivable.

Note 3 – Regulatory Matters
DMR
On October 20, 2017, the PUCO approved DP&L’s 2017 ESP. On January 7, 2019, the Ohio Consumers' Counsel appealed to the Supreme Court of Ohio the 2017 ESP with respect to the bypassability of the Reconciliation Rider and the exclusion of the DMR from the SEET. That proceeding has been stayed pending an appeal in a related case involving another utility.
Pursuant to the 2017 ESP, on January 22, 2019, DP&L filed a request with the PUCO for a two-year extension of its DMR through October 2022, in the proposed amount of $199.0 million for each of the two additional years. The extension request was set at a level expected to reduce debt obligations at both DP&L and DPL and to position
17
DP&L to make capital expenditures to maintain and modernize its electric grid. DP&L’s DMP investments are contingent upon the PUCO approving the two-year extension of its DMR.
A rehearing process in DP&L's 2017 ESP case, including the DMR, remains pending. On August 1, 2019, DP&L filed a supplemental brief with the PUCO focused on the applicability of a recent court decision involving another Ohio utility’s DMR which is similar to, but not identical to, DP&L’s DMR.
Ohio House Bill 6
On July 23, 2019, the Governor of Ohio signed Ohio House Bill 6, which, among other things, does the following:
• | beginning January 1, 2020, replaces DP&L’s non-bypassable Reconciliation Rider, permitting DP&L to defer, recover or credit the net proceeds from selling energy and capacity received as part of DP&L’s interest in OVEC and its OVEC-related costs through 2023, with a non-bypassable recovery mechanism for recovery of prudently incurred OVEC costs through 2030; |
• | eliminates the annual energy efficiency targets for Ohio utilities after 2020; and |
• | allows Ohio utilities to construct customer-sited renewable generation for mercantile customers or groups of mercantile customers, the costs of which may only be recovered from those customers. |
Regulatory impact of tax reform
On January 10, 2018, the PUCO initiated a proceeding to consider the impacts of the TCJA to determine the appropriate course of action to pass benefits resulting from the legislation on to ratepayers. The PUCO also directed Ohio utilities to record deferred liabilities for the estimated reduction in federal income tax resulting from the TCJA beginning January 1, 2018. Beginning October 1, 2018, the new distribution rates approved in the DRO include the impacts of the decrease in current federal income taxes as a result of the TCJA. Under the terms of the stipulation approved in the DRO, DP&L agreed to file an application at the PUCO to refund eligible excess accumulated deferred income taxes and any related regulatory liability over a ten-year period. DP&L made such a filing on March 1, 2019. DP&L negotiated a unanimous stipulation with the parties in the proceeding, agreeing to return a total of $65.1 million, $83.2 million when including taxes associated with the refunds. This stipulation was approved by the PUCO on September 26, 2019. See Note 7 – Income Taxes for additional information. In connection with this stipulation, we reduced our long-term regulatory liability related to deferred income taxes by $23.4 million.
Note 4 – Fair Value
The fair value of current financial assets and liabilities, debt service reserves and other deposits approximate their reported carrying amounts. The estimated fair values of our assets and liabilities have been determined using available market information. By virtue of these amounts being estimates and based on hypothetical transactions to sell assets or transfer liabilities, the use of different market assumptions and/or estimation methodologies may have a material effect on the estimated fair value amounts. For further information on our valuation techniques and policies, see Note 5—Fair Value in Item 8.—Financial Statements and Supplementary Data of our Form 10-K.
The following table presents the fair value, carrying value and cost of our non-derivative instruments at September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018. Further information about the fair value of our derivative instruments can be found in Note 5 – Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities.

These financial instruments are not subject to master netting agreements or collateral requirements and as such are presented in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet at their gross fair value, except for Long-term debt, which is presented at amortized carrying value.
We did not have any transfers of the fair values of our financial instruments between Level 1, Level 2 or Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy during the nine months ended September 30, 2019 or 2018.
Master Trust Assets
DP&L established a Master Trust to hold assets that could be used for the benefit of employees participating in employee benefit plans and these assets are not used for general operating purposes. On January 1, 2018, AOCI of $1.6 million ($1.0 million net of tax) was reversed to Accumulated Deficit and all future changes to fair value on the Master Trust Assets will be included in income in the period that the changes occur. Changes to fair value were not material for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 or 2018. These assets are primarily comprised of open-ended mutual funds, which are valued using the net asset value per unit. These investments are recorded at fair value within Other deferred assets on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets and classified as available for sale.
Long-term debt
The fair value of debt is based on current public market prices for disclosure purposes only. Unrealized gains or losses are not recognized in the financial statements as long-term debt is presented at carrying value, net of unamortized premium or discount and unamortized deferred financing costs in the financial statements. The long-term debt amounts include the current portion payable in the next twelve months and have maturities that range from 2020 to 2061.

(a) | Includes credit valuation adjustment |
Our financial instruments are valued using the market approach in the following categories:
• | Level 1 inputs are used for money market accounts that are considered cash equivalents. The fair value is determined by reference to quoted market prices and other relevant information generated by market transactions. |
• | Level 2 inputs are used to value derivatives such as interest rate hedge contracts which are valued using a benchmark interest rate. Other Level 2 assets include open-ended mutual funds in the Master Trust, which are valued using the end of day NAV per unit. |
• | Level 3 inputs such as certain debt balances are considered a Level 3 input because the notes are not publicly traded. Our long-term debt is fair valued for disclosure purposes only. |
19
All of the inputs to the fair value of our derivative instruments are from quoted market prices.
Our long-term debt is fair valued for disclosure purposes only and most of the fair values are determined using quoted market prices in inactive markets. These fair value inputs are considered Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy. As the Wright-Patterson Air Force Base note is not publicly traded, fair value is assumed to equal carrying value. These fair value inputs are considered Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy as there are no observable inputs. Additional Level 3 disclosures are not presented since our long-term debt is not recorded at fair value.
Note 5 – Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities
In the normal course of business, DPL enters into interest rate hedges to manage the interest rate risk of our variable rate debt. All of our derivative instruments are used for risk management purposes and are designated as cash flow hedges if they qualify under FASC 815 for accounting purposes. In prior periods, we have used commodity derivatives principally to manage the risk of changes in market prices for commodities.
Cash Flow Hedges
As part of our risk management processes, we identify the relationships between hedging instruments and hedged items, as well as the risk management objective and strategy for undertaking various hedge transactions. The fair values of cash flow hedges determined by current public market prices will continue to fluctuate with changes in market prices up to contract expiration. With the adoption of ASU 2017-12, Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Targeted improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities effective January 1, 2019, we will no longer be required to calculate effectiveness and thus the entire change in the fair value of a hedging instrument will be recorded in other comprehensive income and amounts deferred will be reclassified to earnings in the same income statement line as the hedged item in the period in which it settles.
As of September 30, 2019, we have 2 interest rate swaps to hedge the variable interest on our $140.0 million variable interest rate tax-exempt First Mortgage Bonds. The interest rate swaps have a combined notional amount of $140.0 million and settle monthly based on a one-month LIBOR. On March 29, 2018, we settled $60.0 million of these interest rate swaps due to the partial repayment of the underlying debt and a gain of $0.8 million was recorded as a reduction to interest expense. Since the swap was partially settled, the remaining swaps were de-designated and then re-designated with a new hypothetical derivative. The AOCI associated with the remaining swaps will be amortized out of AOCI into interest expense over the remaining life of the underlying debt.
We had previously entered into interest rate derivative contracts to manage interest rate exposure related to anticipated borrowings of fixed-rate debt. These interest rate derivative contracts were settled in 2013 and we continue to amortize amounts out of AOCI into interest expense.

Significant transactions
On June 19, 2019, DP&L amended and restated its unsecured revolving credit facility. The revolving credit facility has a $175.0 million borrowing limit, with a $75.0 million letter of credit sublimit, a feature that provides DP&L the
22
ability to increase the size of the facility by an additional $100.0 million, a maturity date of June 2024, and a provision that provides DP&L the option to request up to two one-year extensions of the maturity date.
On June 6, 2019, DP&L closed on a $425.0 million issuance of First Mortgage Bonds due 2049. These new bonds carry an interest rate of 3.95%. The proceeds of this issuance were used to repay in full the outstanding principal of $435.0 million of DP&L's variable rate Term Loan B credit agreement.
On June 19, 2019, DPL amended and restated its secured revolving credit facility. The revolving credit facility has a $125.0 million borrowing limit, with a $75.0 million letter of credit sublimit, a feature that provides DPL the ability to increase the size of the facility by an additional $50.0 million, and a maturity date of June 2023.
On April 17, 2019, DPL closed a $400.0 million issuance of senior unsecured notes. These notes carry an interest rate of 4.35% and mature on April 15, 2029. Proceeds from the issuance and cash on hand were used to settle a partial redemption for $400.0 million of DPL's 7.25% senior unsecured notes maturing October 15, 2021, as discussed below. After the redemption, the DPL 7.25% senior notes due in 2021 have an outstanding balance of $380.0 million.
On April 8, 2019, DPL issued a Notice of Partial Redemption to the Trustee (Wells Fargo Bank N.A.) on the DPL 7.25% Senior Notes due 2021.

On March 30, 2018, DP&L commenced a redemption of $60.0 million of outstanding tax exempt First Mortgage Bonds due 2020 at par value (plus accrued and unpaid interest). These bonds were redeemed at par plus accrued interest on April 30, 2018 with cash on hand.
On March 27, 2018, DPL made a $70.0 million prepayment to eliminate the outstanding balance of its bank term loan in full. As of March 31, 2018, the term loan was fully paid off.
Long-term debt covenants and restrictions
DPL’s revolving credit agreement has 2 financial covenants. The first financial covenant, a Total Debt to EBITDA ratio, is calculated at the end of each fiscal quarter by dividing total debt at the end of the current quarter by consolidated EBITDA for the 4 prior fiscal quarters. The ratio in the agreement is not to exceed 7.00 to 1.00. As of September 30, 2019, this financial covenant was met with a ratio of 5.68 to 1.00.
The second financial covenant is an EBITDA to Interest Expense ratio that is calculated, at the end of each fiscal quarter, by dividing EBITDA for the 4 prior fiscal quarters by the consolidated interest charges for the same period. The ratio, per the agreement, is to be not less than 2.25 to 1.00. As of September 30, 2019, this financial covenant was met with a ratio of 2.99 to 1.00.
DPL’s secured revolving credit agreement also restricts dividend payments from DPL to AES, such that DPL cannot make dividend payments unless at the time of, and/or as a result of the distribution, (i) DPL’s leverage ratio does not exceed 0.67 to 1.00 and DPL’s interest coverage ratio is not less than 2.50 to 1.00 or, if such ratios are not within the parameters, (ii) DPL’s senior long-term debt rating from two of the three major credit rating agencies is at least investment grade. DPL is also restricted from making dividend and tax sharing payments from DPL to AES per its 2017 ESP. This order restricts dividend payments from DPL to AES during the term of the 2017 ESP and restricts tax sharing payments from DPL to AES during the term of the DMR.
DP&L’s Bond Purchase and Covenants Agreement (financing document entered into in connection with the sale of $200.0 million of variable rate tax-exempt First Mortgage Bonds, dated as of August 1, 2015) has 2 financial
23
covenants. The first measures Total Debt to Total Capitalization and is calculated, at the end of each fiscal quarter, by dividing total debt at the end of the quarter by total capitalization at the end of the quarter. DP&L’s Total Debt to Total Capitalization ratio shall not be greater than 0.65 to 1.00. Except that, after Generation Separation and the twelve-month period following (October 1, 2017 to September 30, 2018) the ratio shall be a) increased to 0.75 to 1.00 or b) suspended if DP&L’s long-term indebtedness is less than or equal to $750.0 million. Additionally, this covenant shall be suspended any time after separation during which DP&L maintains a rating of BBB- (or in the case of Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. Baa3) or higher with a stable outlook from at least one of Fitch Investors Service Inc., Standard & Poor’s Ratings Services or Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. The Total Debt to Capitalization covenant is calculated as the sum of DP&L’s current and long-term portion of debt, divided by the total of DP&L’s net worth and total debt. As of September 30, 2019, DP&L's ratings meet those requirements and this covenant is suspended for the quarter ended September 30, 2019.
The second financial covenant measures EBITDA to Interest Expense. The Total Consolidated EBITDA to Consolidated Interest Charges ratio is calculated, at the end of each fiscal quarter, by dividing consolidated EBITDA for the 4 prior fiscal quarters by the consolidated interest charges for the same period. The ratio, per the agreement, is to be not less than 2.50 to 1.00. This financial covenant was met with a ratio of 9.36 to 1.00 as of September 30, 2019.
DP&L's unsecured revolving credit facility has one financial covenant. The covenant measures Total Debt to Total Capitalization and is calculated, at the end of each fiscal quarter, by dividing total debt at the end of the quarter by total capitalization at the end of the quarter. DP&L’s Total Debt to Total Capitalization ratio shall not be greater than 0.67 to 1.00. This financial covenant was met with a ratio of 0.58 to 1.00 as of September 30, 2019.
As of September 30, 2019, DPL and DP&L were in compliance with all debt covenants, including the financial covenants described above.
DP&L does not have any meaningful restrictions in its debt financing documents prohibiting dividends to its parent, DPL.
Substantially all property, plant & equipment of DP&L is subject to the lien of the mortgage securing DP&L’s First and Refunding Mortgage.
Note 7 – Income Taxes
The following table details the effective tax rates for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018.
Three months ended | Nine months ended | |||||||
September 30, | September 30, | |||||||
2019 | 2018 | 2019 | 2018 | |||||
DPL | (35.6)% | 16.3% | (9.8)% | 15.2% |
Income tax expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018 was calculated using the estimated annual effective income tax rates for 2019 and 2018 of (10.1)% and 16.8%, respectively. Management estimates the annual effective tax rate based on its forecast of annual pre-tax income. To the extent that actual pre-tax results for the year differ from the forecasts applied to the most recent interim period, the estimated rates could be materially different from the actual effective tax rates. DPL’s effective combined state and federal income tax rate for all operations was (35.6)% and (9.8)% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, respectively. These rates are lower than the combined federal and state statutory rate of 21.6% primarily due to the flowthrough of the net tax benefit related to the reversal of excess deferred taxes of DP&L and the impact of the September 26, 2019 PUCO order which finalized the amount of excess deferred tax balances allocable to DP&L’s utility customers.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2019, DPL’s current period effective tax rate for all operations was not materially different than the estimated annual effective rate.
Per the terms of DP&L's 2017 ESP, DPL will not make any tax-sharing payments to AES and AES will forgo collection of the payments during the term of the DMR. As such, during the nine months ended September 30, 2019
24
and 2018, DPL converted $2.7 million and $30.2 million, respectively, of accrued tax sharing liabilities with AES to additional equity investment in DPL.
Note 8 – Benefit Plans
DP&L sponsors a defined benefit pension plan for the majority of its employees.
We generally fund pension plan benefits as accrued in accordance with the minimum funding requirements of ERISA and, in addition, make voluntary contributions from time to time. There were $7.5 million in employer contributions during each of the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018.
The amounts presented in the following tables for pension include the collective bargaining plan formula, the traditional management plan formula, the cash balance plan formula and the SERP, in the aggregate. The pension costs below have not been adjusted for amounts billed to the Service Company for former DP&L employees who are now employed by the Service Company that are still participants in the DP&L plan.
The net periodic benefit cost of the pension benefit plans for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018 was:

In addition, DP&L provides postretirement health care and life insurance benefits to certain retired employees, their spouses and eligible dependents. We have funded a portion of the union-eligible benefits using a Voluntary Employee Beneficiary Association Trust. These postretirement health care benefits and the related unfunded obligation of $9.0 million at September 30, 2019 and $9.2 million at December 31, 2018 were not material to the financial statements in the periods covered by this report.
Note 9 – Shareholder's Deficit
Capital Contributions from AES
DP&L's approved six-year 2017 ESP restricts DPL from making dividend payments to its parent company, AES, during the term of the ESP, as well as from making tax-sharing payments to AES during the term of the DMR. The 2017 ESP also requires that existing tax payments owed by DPL to AES, and similar tax payments that accrue during the term of the DMR, be converted into equity investments in DPL.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, AES made capital contributions of $2.7 million and $30.2 million, respectively, by converting the amount owed to it by DPL related to tax-sharing payments for current tax liabilities.
Note 10 – Contractual Obligations, Commercial Commitments and Contingencies
Guarantees
In the normal course of business, DPL enters into various agreements with its wholly-owned subsidiary, AES Ohio Generation, providing financial or performance assurance to third parties. These agreements are entered into primarily to support or enhance the creditworthiness otherwise attributed to this subsidiary on a stand-alone basis, thereby facilitating the extension of sufficient credit to accomplish this subsidiary's intended commercial purposes.
At September 30, 2019, DPL had $21.0 million of guarantees on behalf of AES Ohio Generation to third parties for future financial or performance assurance under such agreements. The guarantee arrangements entered into by DPL with these third parties cover select present and future obligations of AES Ohio Generation to such beneficiaries and are terminable by DPL upon written notice to the beneficiaries within a certain time. At
25
September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, we had no outstanding balance of obligations covered by these guarantees.
To date, DPL has not incurred any losses related to the guarantees of AES Ohio Generation’s obligations and we believe it is unlikely that DPL would be required to perform or incur any losses in the future associated with any of the above guarantees.
Equity Ownership Interest
DP&L has a 4.9% equity ownership interest in OVEC, which is recorded using the cost method of accounting under GAAP. DP&L, along with several non-affiliated energy companies party to an OVEC arrangement, receive and pay for OVEC capacity and energy and are responsible for OVEC debt obligations and other fixed costs in proportion to their power participation ratios under the arrangement which, for DP&L, is the same as its equity ownership interest. At September 30, 2019, DP&L could be responsible for the repayment of 4.9%, or $67.2 million, of $1,371.3 million OVEC debt obligations if they came due, comprised of both fixed and variable rate securities with maturities from 2022 to 2040. OVEC could also seek additional contributions from DP&L to avoid a default in the event that other OVEC members defaulted on their respective OVEC obligations. One of the other OVEC members, with a 4.85% interest in OVEC, filed for bankruptcy protection and the bankruptcy court approved that member's rejection of the OVEC arrangement and its related obligations on July 31, 2018. We do not expect these events to have a material impact on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.
Contingencies
In the normal course of business, we are subject to various lawsuits, actions, proceedings, claims and other matters asserted under various laws and regulations. We believe the amounts provided in our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, as prescribed by GAAP, are adequate considering the probable and estimable contingencies. However, there can be no assurances that the actual amounts required to satisfy alleged liabilities from various legal proceedings, claims, tax examinations and other matters discussed below, and to comply with applicable laws and regulations, will not exceed the amounts reflected in our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. As such, costs, if any, that may be incurred in excess of those amounts provided as of September 30, 2019, cannot be reasonably determined.
Environmental Matters
DPL’s and DP&L’s facilities and operations are subject to a wide range of federal, state and local environmental regulations and laws. The environmental issues that may affect us include:
• | The federal CAA and state laws and regulations (including State Implementation Plans) which require compliance, obtaining permits and reporting as to air emissions; |
• | Litigation with federal and certain state governments and certain special interest groups; |
• | Rules and future rules issued by the USEPA, the Ohio EPA or other authorities associated with the federal Clean Water Act, which prohibits the discharge of pollutants into waters of the United States except pursuant to appropriate permits; and |
• | Solid and hazardous waste laws and regulations, which govern the management and disposal of certain waste. The majority of solid waste created from the combustion of coal and fossil fuels consists of fly ash and other coal combustion by-products. |
In addition to imposing continuing compliance obligations, these laws and regulations authorize the imposition of substantial penalties for noncompliance, including fines, injunctive relief and other sanctions. In the normal course of business, we have investigatory and remedial activities underway at our facilities to comply, or to determine compliance, with such regulations. We record liabilities for loss contingencies related to environmental matters when a loss is probable of occurring and can be reasonably estimated in accordance with the provisions of GAAP. Accordingly, we have immaterial accruals for loss contingencies for environmental matters. We also have several environmental matters for which we have not accrued loss contingencies because the risk of loss is not probable, or a loss cannot be reasonably estimated. We evaluate the potential liability related to environmental matters quarterly and may revise our estimates. Such revisions in the estimates of the potential liabilities could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.

We have several pending environmental matters associated with our current and previously owned coal-fired generation units. Some of these matters could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.
Note 11 – Business Segments
DPL has presented the results of operations of Miami Fort Station, Zimmer Station, the Peaker Assets, Stuart Station, and Killen Station as discontinued operations as a group of components for all periods presented. For more information, see Note 14 – Discontinued Operations of Notes to DPL's Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. As such, AES Ohio Generation only has operating activity coming from its undivided ownership interest in Conesville, which does not meet the thresholds to be a separate reportable operating segment. Therefore, DPL manages its business through 1 reportable operating segment, the Utility segment. The primary segment performance measure is income / (loss) from continuing operations before income tax as management has concluded that this measure best reflects the underlying business performance of DPL and is the most relevant measure considered in DPL’s internal evaluation of the financial performance of its segment. The Utility segment is discussed further below.
Utility Segment
The Utility segment is comprised of DP&L’s electric transmission and distribution businesses, which distribute electricity to residential, commercial, industrial and governmental customers. DP&L distributes electricity to more than 524,000 retail customers located in a 6,000-square mile area of West Central Ohio. DP&L’s electric transmission and distribution businesses are subject to rate regulation by federal and state regulators. Accordingly, DP&L applies the accounting standards for regulated operations to its electric transmission and distribution businesses recording regulatory assets when incurred costs are expected to be recovered in future customer rates and regulatory liabilities when current cost recoveries in customer rates relate to expected future costs. The Utility segment includes revenues and costs associated with our investment in OVEC and the historical results of DP&L’s Beckjord Facility, which was closed in 2014 and transferred to a third party in the first quarter of 2018, and Hutchings Coal generating facility, which was closed in 2013. These assets did not transfer to AES Ohio Generation as part of DP&L's Generation Separation on October 1, 2017. Thus, they are grouped within the Utility segment for segment reporting purposes. In addition, regulatory deferrals and collections, which include fuel deferrals in historical periods, are included in the Utility segment.
Included within the “Other” column are other businesses that do not meet the GAAP requirements for disclosure as reportable segments as well as certain corporate costs, which include interest expense and loss on early extinguishment of debt on DPL's long-term debt as well as adjustments related to purchase accounting from the Merger. DPL's undivided interest in Conesville is included within the "Other" column as it does not meet the requirement for disclosure as a reportable operating segment, since the results of operations of the other EGUs are presented as discontinued operations. The accounting policies of the reportable segment are the same as those described in Note 1 – Overview and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies of our 10-K. Intersegment sales, costs of sales and expenses are eliminated in consolidation. Certain shared and corporate costs are allocated between "Other" and the Utility reporting segment.

Note 12 – Revenue
Revenue is primarily earned from retail and wholesale electricity sales and electricity transmission and distribution delivery services. Revenue is recognized upon transfer of control to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which we expect to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. Revenue is recorded net of any taxes assessed on and collected from customers, which are remitted to the governmental authorities. For further discussion of our Retail, Wholesale, RTO ancillary, and Capacity revenues, see Note 14 — Revenue in Item 8.—Financial Statements and Supplementary Data of our Form 10-K.
DPL's revenue from contracts with customers was $195.0 million and $195.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively, and $576.5 million and $560.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively.

The balances of receivables from contracts with customers were $66.3 million and $72.6 million as of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively. Payment terms for all receivables from contracts with customers are typically within 30 days.
Note 13 – Dispositions
Beckjord Facility – On February 26, 2018, DP&L and its co-owners of the retired Beckjord Facility agreed to transfer their interests in the retired Facility to a third party, including their obligations to remediate the Facility and its site,
30
and the transfer occurred on that same date. As a result, DPL recognized a loss on the transfer of $11.7 million and made cash expenditures of $14.5 million, inclusive of cash expenditures for the transfer charges. The Beckjord Facility was retired in 2014, and, as such, the income / (loss) from continuing operations before income tax related to the Beckjord Facility was immaterial for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, excluding the loss on transfer noted above. Prior to the transfer, the Beckjord Facility was included in the Utility segment.
Note 14 – Discontinued Operations
On December 8, 2017, DPL and AES Ohio Generation completed the sale of their entire undivided interest in the Miami Fort Station and the Zimmer Station. On March 27, 2018, DPL and AES Ohio Generation completed the sale of the Peaker assets to Kimura Power, LLC, and this transaction resulted in a loss on sale of $1.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018. Further, on May 31, 2018, DPL and AES Ohio Generation retired the Stuart Station coal-fired and diesel-fired generating units and the Killen Station coal-fired generating unit and combustion turbine as planned.
Consequently, we determined that the disposal of this group of components, as a whole, represents a strategic shift to exit generation, and, as such, qualifies to be presented as discontinued operations. Therefore, the results of operations, assets and liabilities of this group of components were reported as such in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets for all periods presented.
The following table summarizes the major categories of assets and liabilities at the dates indicated:

Cash flows related to discontinued operations are included in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. Cash flows from operating activities for discontinued operations were $(0.5) million and $(7.2) million for the three months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively, and $12.4 million and $37.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively. Cash flows from investing activities for discontinued operations were $233.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018. There were no cash flows from
31
investing activities for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 or for the three months ended September 30, 2018.
AROs of Discontinued Operations
DPL's retired Stuart and Killen generating facilities continue to carry ARO liabilities consisting primarily of river intake and discharge structures, coal unloading facilities, landfills and ash disposal facilities. In the first quarter of 2019, DPL reduced the ARO liability related to the Stuart and Killen ash ponds and landfills by a combined $22.5 million based on updated internal analyses that reduced estimated closure costs associated with these ash ponds and landfills. The remaining ARO liability related to Stuart and Killen is included in the Asset retirement obligations balance in the total liabilities of the disposal group classified as liabilities of discontinued operations and held-for-sale businesses in the balance sheets as of September 30, 2019 above. As these plants are no longer in service, the reduction to the ARO liability was also recorded as a credit to depreciation and amortization expense in the same amount. The credit to depreciation and amortization expense is included in operating costs and other expenses of discontinued operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 in the table above.

Notes to Condensed Financial Statements (Unaudited)
Note 1 – Overview and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Description of Business
DP&L is a public utility incorporated in 1911 under the laws of Ohio. Beginning in 2001, Ohio law gave Ohio consumers the right to choose the electric generation supplier from whom they purchase retail generation service; however, retail transmission and distribution services are still regulated. DP&L has the exclusive right to provide such transmission and distribution services to approximately 524,000 customers located in West Central Ohio. Additionally, DP&L provides retail SSO electric service to residential, commercial, industrial and governmental customers in a 6,000-square mile area of West Central Ohio. As a result of Generation Separation, DP&L now only has 1 reportable segment, the Utility segment. In addition to DP&L's electric transmission and distribution businesses, the Utility segment includes revenues and costs associated with DP&L's investment in OVEC and the historical results of DP&L’s Beckjord and Hutchings Coal generating facilities, which have either been closed or sold. Principal industries located in DP&L’s service territory include automotive, food processing, paper, plastic, health care, data management, manufacturing and defense. Following the issuance of the DRO in September 2018 and the resulting changes to the decoupling rider effective January 1, 2019, DP&L's distribution sales are primarily impacted by customer growth within our service territory. DP&L sells its proportional share of energy and capacity from its investment in OVEC into the wholesale market. DP&L is a subsidiary of DPL. The terms “we,” “us,” “our” and “ours” are used to refer to DP&L.
DP&L’s electric transmission and distribution businesses are subject to rate regulation by federal and state regulators. Accordingly, DP&L applies the accounting standards for regulated operations to its electric transmission and distribution businesses and records regulatory assets when incurred costs are expected to be recovered in future customer rates, and regulatory liabilities when current cost recoveries in customer rates relate to expected future costs.
DP&L employed 642 people as of September 30, 2019. Approximately 58% of DP&L employees are under a collective bargaining agreement, which expires October 31, 2020.
Financial Statement Presentation
DP&L does not have any subsidiaries.
We have evaluated subsequent events through the date this report is issued.
Certain immaterial amounts from prior periods have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation.
These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with GAAP for interim financial statements, the instructions of Form 10-Q and Regulation S-X. Accordingly, certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in the annual financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been omitted from this interim report. Therefore, our interim financial statements in this report should be read along with the annual financial statements included in our Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2018.
In the opinion of our management, the Condensed Financial Statements presented in this report contain all adjustments necessary to fairly state our financial position as of September 30, 2019; our results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, our cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018 and the changes in our equity for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018. Unless otherwise noted, all adjustments are normal and recurring in nature. Due to various factors, interim results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 may not be indicative of our results that will be realized for the full year ending December 31, 2019.
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, and the revenues and expenses of the periods reported. Actual results could differ from these estimates. Significant items subject to such estimates and judgments include: recognition of revenue including unbilled revenues, the carrying value of property, plant and equipment; the valuation of derivative instruments; the valuation of insurance and claims liabilities; the valuation of allowances for receivables and deferred income taxes; regulatory assets and
39
liabilities; liabilities recorded for income tax exposures; litigation; contingencies; the valuation of AROs; and assets and liabilities related to employee benefits.
Cash, Cash Equivalents, and Restricted Cash
The following table provides a summary of cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash amounts reported on the Condensed Balance Sheet that reconcile to the total of such amounts as shown on the Condensed Statements of Cash Flows:
$ in millions | September 30, 2019 | December 31, 2018 | ||||||
Cash and cash equivalents | $ | 14.4 | $ | 45.0 | ||||
Restricted cash | 17.6 | 21.2 | ||||||
Cash, Cash Equivalents, and Restricted Cash, End of Period | $ | 32.0 | $ | 66.2 |
Accounting for Taxes Collected from Customers and Remitted to Governmental Authorities
DP&L collects certain excise taxes levied by state or local governments from its customers. These taxes are accounted for on a net basis and not included in revenue. The amounts of such taxes collected for the three months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018 were $13.0 million and $13.8 million, respectively. The amounts of such taxes collected for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018 were $37.3 million and $39.2 million, respectively.
New accounting pronouncements adopted in 2019 – The following table provides a brief description of recently adopted accounting pronouncements that had an impact on our financial statements. Accounting pronouncements not listed below were assessed and determined to be either not applicable or did not have a material impact on our financial statements.
ASU Number and Name | Description | Date of Adoption | Effect on the financial statements upon adoption |
2018-02, Income Statement — Reporting Comprehensive Income (Topic 220), Reclassification of Certain Tax Effects from AOCI | This amendment allows a reclassification of the stranded tax effects resulting from the implementation of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act from AOCI to retained earnings at the election of the filer. Because this amendment only relates to the reclassification of the income tax effects of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, the underlying guidance that requires that the effect of a change in tax laws or rates be included in income from continuing operations is not affected. | January 1, 2019 | We have not elected to reclassify any amounts to retained earnings. Our accounting policy for releasing the income tax effects from AOCI occurs on a portfolio basis. |
2017-12, Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Targeted improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities | The standard updates the hedge accounting model to expand the ability to hedge nonfinancial and financial risk components, reduce complexity, and ease certain documentation and assessment requirements. When facts and circumstances are the same as at the previous quantitative test, a subsequent quantitative effectiveness test is not required. The standard also eliminates the requirement to separately measure and report hedge ineffectiveness. For cash flow hedges, this means that the entire change in the fair value of a hedging instrument will be recorded in other comprehensive income and amounts deferred will be reclassified to earnings in the same income statement line as the hedged item. Transition method: modified retrospective with the cumulative effect adjustment recorded to the opening balance of retained earnings as of the initial application date. Prospective for presentation and disclosures. | January 1, 2019 | The adoption of this standard had no material impact on our condensed financial statements. |
2016-02, 2018-01, 2018-10, 2018-11 Leases (Topic 842) | See "Adoption of FASC Topic 842, Leases" below. | January 1, 2019 | See impact upon adoption of the standard below. |
Adoption of FASC Topic 842, "Leases"
On January 1, 2019, we adopted ASU 2016-02 Leases and its subsequent corresponding updates (“FASC 842”). Under this standard, lessees are required to recognize assets and liabilities for most leases and recognize expenses in a manner similar to the current accounting method. For lessors, the guidance modifies the lease classification criteria and the accounting for sales-type and direct financing leases. The guidance eliminates current real estate-specific provisions.
Under FASC 842, it is expected that fewer contracts will contain a lease. However, due to the elimination of the real estate-specific guidance and changes to certain lessor classification criteria, more leases will qualify as sales-type leases and direct financing leases. Under these two models, a lessor will derecognize the asset and will recognize a net investment in a lease. According to FASC 842, the net investment in the lease includes the fair value of the
40
plant after the contract period but does not include variable payments such as margin on the sale of energy. Therefore, the net investment in the lease could be significantly different than the carrying amount of the underlying asset at lease commencement. In such circumstances, the difference between the initially recognized net investment in the lease and the carrying amount of the underlying asset is recognized as a gain/loss at lease commencement.
During the course of adopting FASC 842, we applied various practical expedients including:
• | The package of practical expedients (applied to all leases) that allowed lessees and lessors not to reassess: |
a. | whether any expired or existing contracts are or contain leases, |
b. | lease classification for any expired or existing leases, and |
c. | whether initial direct costs for any expired or existing leases qualify for capitalization under FASC 842. |
• | The transition practical expedient related to land easements, allowing us to carry forward our accounting treatment for land easements on existing agreements, and |
• | The transition practical expedient for lessees that allowed businesses to not separate lease and non-lease components. We applied the practical expedient to all classes of underlying assets when valuing right-of-use assets and lease liabilities. Contracts where we are the lessor were separated between the lease and non-lease components. |
We applied the modified retrospective method of adoption and elected to continue to apply the guidance in FASC 840 Leases to the comparative periods presented in the year of adoption. Under this transition method, we applied the transition provisions starting at the date of adoption.
The adoption of FASC 842 did not have a material impact on our Condensed Financial Statements.
New Accounting Pronouncements Issued But Not Yet Effective – The following table provides a brief description of recent accounting pronouncements that could have a material impact on our financial statements. Accounting pronouncements not listed below were assessed and determined to be either not applicable or are expected to have no material impact on our financial statements.
ASU Number and Name | Description | Date of Adoption | Effect on the financial statements upon adoption |
2016-13, 2019-04, 2019-05, Financial Instruments — Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments | See discussion of the ASU below. | January 1, 2020 | We will adopt the standard on January 1, 2020; see below for the evaluation of the impact of the adoption on the condensed financial statements. |
ASU 2016-13 and its subsequent corresponding updates will update the impairment model for financial assets measured at amortized cost. For trade and other receivables, held-to-maturity debt securities, loans and other instruments, entities will be required to use a new forward-looking "expected loss" model that generally will result in the earlier recognition of allowance for losses. For available-for-sale debt securities with unrealized losses, entities will measure credit losses as it is done today, except that the losses will be recognized as an allowance rather than a reduction in the amortized cost of the securities. There are various transition methods available upon adoption.
We are currently evaluating the impact of adopting the standard on our condensed financial statements; however, it is expected that the new current expected credit loss model will primarily impact the calculation of expected credit losses on $72.1 million in gross trade accounts receivable.

Note 3 – Regulatory Matters
DMR
On October 20, 2017, the PUCO approved DP&L’s 2017 ESP. On January 7, 2019, the Ohio Consumers' Counsel appealed to the Supreme Court of Ohio the 2017 ESP with respect to the bypassability of the Reconciliation Rider and the exclusion of the DMR from the SEET. That proceeding has been stayed pending an appeal in a related case involving another utility.
42
Pursuant to the 2017 ESP, on January 22, 2019, DP&L filed a request with the PUCO for a two-year extension of its DMR through October 2022, in the proposed amount of $199.0 million for each of the two additional years. The extension request was set at a level expected to reduce debt obligations at both DP&L and DPL and to position DP&L to make capital expenditures to maintain and modernize its electric grid. DP&L’s DMP investments are contingent upon the PUCO approving the two-year extension of its DMR.
A rehearing process in DP&L's 2017 ESP case, including the DMR, remains pending. On August 1, 2019, DP&L filed a supplemental brief with the PUCO focused on the applicability of a recent court decision involving another Ohio utility’s DMR which is similar to, but not identical to, DP&L’s DMR.
Ohio House Bill 6
On July 23, 2019, the Governor of Ohio signed Ohio House Bill 6, which, among other things, does the following:
• | beginning January 1, 2020, replaces DP&L’s non-bypassable Reconciliation Rider, permitting DP&L to defer, recover or credit the net proceeds from selling energy and capacity received as part of DP&L’s interest in OVEC and its OVEC-related costs through 2023, with a non-bypassable recovery mechanism for recovery of prudently incurred OVEC costs through 2030; |
• | eliminates the annual energy efficiency targets for Ohio utilities after 2020; and |
• | allows Ohio utilities to construct customer-sited renewable generation for mercantile customers or groups of mercantile customers, the costs of which may only be recovered from those customers. |
Regulatory impact of tax reform
On January 10, 2018, the PUCO initiated a proceeding to consider the impacts of the TCJA to determine the appropriate course of action to pass benefits resulting from the legislation on to ratepayers. The PUCO also directed Ohio utilities to record deferred liabilities for the estimated reduction in federal income tax resulting from the TCJA beginning January 1, 2018. Beginning October 1, 2018, the new distribution rates approved in the DRO include the impacts of the decrease in current federal income taxes as a result of the TCJA. Under the terms of the stipulation approved in the DRO, DP&L agreed to file an application at the PUCO to refund eligible excess accumulated deferred income taxes and any related regulatory liability over a ten-year period. DP&L made such a filing on March 1, 2019. DP&L negotiated a unanimous stipulation with the parties in the proceeding, agreeing to return a total of $65.1 million, $83.2 million when including taxes associated with the refunds. This stipulation was approved by the PUCO on September 26, 2019. See Note 7 – Income Taxes for additional information. In connection with this stipulation, we reduced our long-term regulatory liability related to deferred income taxes by $23.4 million.
Note 4 – Fair Value
The fair value of current financial assets and liabilities, debt service reserves and other deposits approximate their reported carrying amounts. The estimated fair values of our assets and liabilities have been determined using available market information. By virtue of these amounts being estimates and based on hypothetical transactions to sell assets or transfer liabilities, the use of different market assumptions and/or estimation methodologies may have a material effect on the estimated fair value amounts. For further information on our valuation techniques and policies, see Note 5—Fair Value in Item 8.—Financial Statements and Supplementary Data of our Form 10-K.
The following table presents the fair value, carrying value and cost of our non-derivative instruments at September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018. Further information about the fair value of our derivative instruments can be found in Note 5 – Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities.

These financial instruments are not subject to master netting agreements or collateral requirements and as such are presented in the Condensed Balance Sheet at their gross fair value, except for Long-term debt, which is presented at amortized carrying value.
We did not have any transfers of the fair values of our financial instruments between Level 1, Level 2 or Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy during the nine months ended September 30, 2019 or 2018.
Master Trust Assets
DP&L established a Master Trust to hold assets that could be used for the benefit of employees participating in employee benefit plans and these assets are not used for general operating purposes. On January 1, 2018, AOCI of $1.7 million ($1.1 million net of tax) was reversed to Accumulated Deficit and all future changes to fair value on the Master Trust Assets will be included in income in the period that the changes occur. Changes to fair value were not material for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 or 2018. These assets are primarily comprised of open-ended mutual funds, which are valued using the net asset value per unit. These investments are recorded at fair value within Other deferred assets on the Condensed Balance Sheets and classified as available for sale.
Long-term debt
The fair value of debt is based on current public market prices for disclosure purposes only. Unrealized gains or losses are not recognized in the financial statements as long-term debt is presented at carrying value, net of unamortized premium or discount and unamortized deferred financing costs in the financial statements. The long-term debt amounts include the current portion payable in the next twelve months and have maturities that range from 2020 to 2061.
The fair value of assets and liabilities at September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 and the respective category within the fair value hierarchy for DP&L is as follows:

(a) | Includes credit valuation adjustment |
Our financial instruments are valued using the market approach in the following categories:
• | Level 1 inputs are used for money market accounts that are considered cash equivalents. The fair value is determined by reference to quoted market prices and other relevant information generated by market transactions. |
• | Level 2 inputs are used to value derivatives such as interest rate hedge contracts which are valued using a benchmark interest rate. Other Level 2 assets include open-ended mutual funds in the Master Trust, which are valued using the end of day NAV per unit. |
• | Level 3 inputs such as certain debt balances are considered a Level 3 input because the notes are not publicly traded. Our long-term debt is fair valued for disclosure purposes only. |
44
All of the inputs to the fair value of our derivative instruments are from quoted market prices.
Our long-term debt is fair valued for disclosure purposes only and most of the fair values are determined using quoted market prices in inactive markets. These fair value inputs are considered Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy. As the Wright-Patterson Air Force Base note is not publicly traded, fair value is assumed to equal carrying value. These fair value inputs are considered Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy as there are no observable inputs. Additional Level 3 disclosures are not presented since our long-term debt is not recorded at fair value.
Note 5 – Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities
In the normal course of business, DP&L enters into interest rate hedges to manage the interest rate risk of our variable rate debt. All of our derivative instruments are used for risk management purposes and are designated as cash flow hedges if they qualify under FASC 815 for accounting purposes. In prior periods, we have used commodity derivatives principally to manage the risk of changes in market prices for commodities.
Cash Flow Hedges
As part of our risk management processes, we identify the relationships between hedging instruments and hedged items, as well as the risk management objective and strategy for undertaking various hedge transactions. The fair values of cash flow hedges determined by current public market prices will continue to fluctuate with changes in market prices up to contract expiration. With the adoption of ASU 2017-12, Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Targeted improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities effective January 1, 2019, we will no longer be required to calculate effectiveness and thus the entire change in the fair value of a hedging instrument will be recorded in other comprehensive income and amounts deferred will be reclassified to earnings in the same income statement line as the hedged item in the period in which it settles.
As of September 30, 2019, we have 2 interest rate swaps to hedge the variable interest on our $140.0 million variable interest rate tax-exempt First Mortgage Bonds. The interest rate swaps have a combined notional amount of $140.0 million and settle monthly based on a one-month LIBOR. On March 29, 2018, we settled $60.0 million of these interest rate swaps due to the partial repayment of the underlying debt and a gain of $0.8 million was recorded as a reduction to interest expense. Since the swap was partially settled, the remaining swaps were de-designated and then re-designated with a new hypothetical derivative. The AOCI associated with the remaining swaps will be amortized out of AOCI into interest expense over the remaining life of the underlying debt.
The following tables provide information concerning gains or losses recognized in AOCI for the cash flow hedges for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018:

Financial Statement Effect
DP&L has elected not to offset derivative assets and liabilities and not to offset net derivative positions against the right to reclaim cash collateral pledged (an asset) or the obligation to return cash collateral received (a liability) under derivative agreements.

Line of credit
At September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, DP&L had outstanding borrowings on its line of credit of $60.0 million and $0.0 million, respectively.
Significant transactions
On June 19, 2019, DP&L amended and restated its unsecured revolving credit facility. The revolving credit facility has a $175.0 million borrowing limit, with a $75.0 million letter of credit sublimit, a feature that provides DP&L the ability to increase the size of the facility by an additional $100.0 million, a maturity date of June 2024, and a provision that provides DP&L the option to request up to two one-year extensions of the maturity date.
On June 6, 2019, DP&L closed on a $425.0 million issuance of First Mortgage Bonds due 2049. These new bonds carry an interest rate of 3.95%. The proceeds of this issuance were used to repay in full the outstanding principal of $435.0 million of DP&L's variable rate Term Loan B credit agreement.
On March 30, 2018, DP&L commenced a redemption of $60.0 million of outstanding tax exempt First Mortgage Bonds due 2020 at par value (plus accrued and unpaid interest). These bonds were redeemed at par plus accrued interest on April 30, 2018 with cash on hand.
Long-term debt covenants and restrictions
DP&L’s Bond Purchase and Covenants Agreement (financing document entered into in connection with the sale of $200.0 million of variable rate tax-exempt First Mortgage Bonds, dated as of August 1, 2015) has 2 financial covenants. The first measures Total Debt to Total Capitalization and is calculated, at the end of each fiscal quarter, by dividing total debt at the end of the quarter by total capitalization at the end of the quarter. DP&L’s Total Debt to Total Capitalization ratio shall not be greater than 0.65 to 1.00. Except that, after Generation Separation and the twelve-month period following (October 1, 2017 to September 30, 2018) the ratio shall be a) increased to 0.75 to 1.00 or b) suspended if DP&L’s long-term indebtedness is less than or equal to $750.0 million. Additionally, this covenant shall be suspended any time after separation during which DP&L maintains a rating of BBB- (or in the case of Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. Baa3) or higher with a stable outlook from at least one of Fitch Investors Service Inc., Standard & Poor’s Ratings Services or Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. The Total Debt to Capitalization covenant is calculated as the sum of DP&L’s current and long-term portion of debt, divided by the total of DP&L’s net worth and total debt. As of September 30, 2019, DP&L's ratings meet those requirements and this covenant is suspended for the quarter ended September 30, 2019.
The second financial covenant measures EBITDA to Interest Expense. The Total EBITDA to Interest Charges ratio is calculated, at the end of each fiscal quarter, by dividing EBITDA for the 4 prior fiscal quarters by the interest charges for the same period. The ratio, per the agreement, is to be not less than 2.50 to 1.00. This financial covenant was met with a ratio of 9.36 to 1.00 as of September 30, 2019.
47
DP&L's unsecured revolving credit facility has one financial covenant. The covenant measures Total Debt to Total Capitalization and is calculated, at the end of each fiscal quarter, by dividing total debt at the end of the quarter by total capitalization at the end of the quarter. DP&L’s Total Debt to Total Capitalization ratio shall not be greater than 0.67 to 1.00. This financial covenant was met with a ratio of 0.58 to 1.00 as of September 30, 2019.
As of September 30, 2019, DP&L was in compliance with all debt covenants, including the financial covenants described above.
DP&L does not have any meaningful restrictions in its debt financing documents prohibiting dividends to its parent, DPL.
Substantially all property, plant & equipment of DP&L is subject to the lien of the mortgage securing DP&L’s First and Refunding Mortgage.
Note 7 – Income Taxes
The following table details the effective tax rates for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018.
Three months ended | Nine months ended | |||||||
September 30, | September 30, | |||||||
2019 | 2018 | 2019 | 2018 | |||||
DP&L | (19.1)% | 16.8% | 4.7% | 16.2% |
Income tax expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018 was calculated using the estimated annual effective income tax rates for 2019 and 2018 of 4.5% and 17.1%, respectively. Management estimates the annual effective tax rate based on its forecast of annual pre-tax income. To the extent that actual pre-tax results for the year differ from the forecasts applied to the most recent interim period, the estimated rates could be materially different from the actual effective tax rates. DP&L’s effective combined state and federal income tax rate was (19.1)% and 4.7% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, respectively. This is lower than the combined federal and state statutory rate of 21.6% primarily due to the net tax benefit related to the reversal of excess deferred taxes and the impact of the September 26, 2019 PUCO order which finalized the amount of excess deferred tax balances allocable to DP&L’s utility customers.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2019, DP&L’s current period effective tax rate for all operations was not materially different than the estimated annual effective rate.
Note 8 – Benefit Plans
DP&L sponsors a defined benefit pension plan for the majority of its employees.
We generally fund pension plan benefits as accrued in accordance with the minimum funding requirements of ERISA and, in addition, make voluntary contributions from time to time. There were $7.5 million in employer contributions during each of the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018.
The amounts presented in the following tables for pension include the collective bargaining plan formula, the traditional management plan formula, the cash balance plan formula and the SERP, in the aggregate. The pension costs below have not been adjusted for amounts billed to the Service Company for former DP&L employees who are now employed by the Service Company or for amounts billed to AES Ohio Generation for employees employed by AES Ohio Generation that are still participants in the DP&L plan.

In addition, DP&L provides postretirement health care and life insurance benefits to certain retired employees, their spouses and eligible dependents. We have funded a portion of the union-eligible benefits using a Voluntary Employee Beneficiary Association Trust. These postretirement health care benefits and the related unfunded obligation of $9.0 million at September 30, 2019 and $9.2 million at December 31, 2018 were not material to the financial statements in the periods covered by this report.
Note 9 – Shareholder's Equity
Capital Contribution and Returns of Capital
During the nine months ended September 30, 2019, DP&L made returns of capital payments of $90.0 million to DPL.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2018, DP&L received an $80.0 million capital contribution from its parent, DPL. In addition, DP&L made returns of capital payments of $43.8 million to DPL.
Note 10 – Contractual Obligations, Commercial Commitments and Contingencies
Equity Ownership Interest
DP&L has a 4.9% equity ownership interest in OVEC, which is recorded using the cost method of accounting under GAAP. DP&L, along with several non-affiliated energy companies party to an OVEC arrangement, receive and pay for OVEC capacity and energy and are responsible for OVEC debt obligations and other fixed costs in proportion to their power participation ratios under the arrangement which, for DP&L, is the same as its equity ownership interest. At September 30, 2019, DP&L could be responsible for the repayment of 4.9%, or $67.2 million, of $1,371.3 million OVEC debt obligations if they came due, comprised of both fixed and variable rate securities with maturities from 2022 to 2040. OVEC could also seek additional contributions from DP&L to avoid a default in the event that other OVEC members defaulted on their respective OVEC obligations. One of the other OVEC members, with a 4.85% interest in OVEC, filed for bankruptcy protection and the bankruptcy court approved that member's rejection of the OVEC arrangement and its related obligations on July 31, 2018. We do not expect these events to have a material impact on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.
Contingencies
In the normal course of business, we are subject to various lawsuits, actions, proceedings, claims and other matters asserted under various laws and regulations. We believe the amounts provided in our Condensed Financial Statements, as prescribed by GAAP, are adequate considering the probable and estimable contingencies. However, there can be no assurances that the actual amounts required to satisfy alleged liabilities from various legal proceedings, claims, tax examinations and other matters discussed below, and to comply with applicable laws and regulations, will not exceed the amounts reflected in our Condensed Financial Statements. As such, costs, if any, that may be incurred in excess of those amounts provided as of September 30, 2019, cannot be reasonably determined.
Environmental Matters
DP&L’s facilities and operations are subject to a wide range of federal, state and local environmental regulations and laws. The environmental issues that may affect us include:
• | The federal CAA and state laws and regulations (including State Implementation Plans) which require compliance, obtaining permits and reporting as to air emissions; |
49
• | Litigation with federal and certain state governments and certain special interest groups; |
• | Rules and future rules issued by the USEPA, the Ohio EPA or other authorities associated with the federal Clean Water Act, which prohibits the discharge of pollutants into waters of the United States except pursuant to appropriate permits; and |
• | Solid and hazardous waste laws and regulations, which govern the management and disposal of certain waste. |
In addition to imposing continuing compliance obligations, these laws and regulations authorize the imposition of substantial penalties for noncompliance, including fines, injunctive relief and other sanctions. In the normal course of business, we have investigatory and remedial activities underway at our facilities to comply, or to determine compliance, with such regulations. We record liabilities for loss contingencies related to environmental matters when a loss is probable of occurring and can be reasonably estimated in accordance with the provisions of GAAP. Accordingly, we have immaterial accruals for loss contingencies for environmental matters. We also have several environmental matters for which we have not accrued loss contingencies because the risk of loss is not probable, or a loss cannot be reasonably estimated. We evaluate the potential liability related to environmental matters quarterly and may revise our estimates. Such revisions in the estimates of the potential liabilities could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.
Note 11 – Revenue
Revenue is primarily earned from retail and wholesale electricity sales and electricity transmission and distribution delivery services. Revenue is recognized upon transfer of control to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which we expect to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. Revenue is recorded net of any taxes assessed on and collected from customers, which are remitted to the governmental authorities. For further discussion of our Retail, Wholesale, RTO ancillary, and Capacity revenues, see Note 13 — Revenue in Item 8.—Financial Statements and Supplementary Data of our Form 10-K.
DP&L's revenue from contracts with customers was $187.0 million and $186.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively, and $554.4 million and $532.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively. The following table presents our revenue from contracts with customers and other revenue for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018:

The balances of receivables from contracts with customers were $65.2 million and $70.1 million as of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively. Payment terms for all receivables from contracts with customers are typically within 30 days.
Note 12 – Dispositions
Beckjord Facility – On February 26, 2018, DP&L and its co-owners of the retired Beckjord Facility agreed to transfer their interests in the retired Facility to a third party, including their obligations to remediate the Facility and its site, and the transfer occurred on that same date. As a result, DP&L recognized a loss on the transfer of $12.4 million and made cash expenditures of $14.5 million, inclusive of cash expenditures for the transfer charges. The Beckjord Facility was retired in 2014, and, as such, the income / (loss) from continuing operations before income tax related to the Beckjord Facility was immaterial for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, excluding the loss on transfer noted above.

DPL – Revenues
Retail customers, especially residential and commercial customers, consume more electricity during warmer and colder weather than they do during mild temperatures. Therefore, our retail sales volume is impacted by the number of heating and cooling degree-days occurring during a year. Cooling degree-days typically have a more significant impact than heating degree-days since some residential customers do not use electricity to heat their homes. Because of the impact of the decoupling rider (effective January 1, 2019) and because DPL's generation has greatly decreased in recent years due to plant sales and closures, weather has a minimal impact on our net operating results.

(a) | Heating and cooling degree-days are a measure of the relative heating or cooling required for a home or business. The heating degrees in a day are calculated as the degrees that the average actual daily temperature is below 65 degrees Fahrenheit. For example, if the average temperature on March 20th was 40 degrees Fahrenheit, the heating degrees for that day would be the 25-degree difference between 65 degrees and 40 degrees. Similarly, cooling degrees in a day are calculated as the degrees that the average actual daily temperature is above 65 degrees Fahrenheit. |

Factors impacting our wholesale sales volume each hour of the year include wholesale market prices; retail demand throughout the entire wholesale market area; availability of our generating plant and non-affiliated generating plants to sell into the wholesale market; contracted wholesale sales and our variable generation costs. Our goal is to make wholesale sales when it is profitable to do so.
During the three months ended September 30, 2019, revenue decreased $8.7 million to $199.0 million compared to $207.7 million in the same period of the prior year, and, during the nine months ended September 30, 2019, revenue increased $0.7 million to $592.2 million compared to $591.5 million in the same period of the prior year.

DPL – Depreciation and Amortization
During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, Depreciation and amortization decreased $2.0 million and $4.7 million respectively, compared to the same periods in the prior year. The decrease was primarily due to lower software amortization and lower depreciation expense recorded at Conesville in 2019.
DPL – Taxes Other Than Income Taxes
During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, Taxes other than income taxes increased $1.9 million and $4.0 million respectively, compared to the same periods in the prior year. The increase for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 was primarily the result of a favorable adjustment recorded in the second quarter of 2018 related to 2017 Ohio property taxes to reflect actual payments made in 2018.
55
DPL – Operating Expenses - Other
During the nine months ended September 30, 2018, DPL recorded other operating expenses of $14.6 million primarily due to the loss on the transfer of business interests in the Beckjord facility of $11.7 million and a $2.8 million fixed-asset impairment charge recorded on Conesville.
DPL – Interest Expense
During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, Interest expense decreased $4.3 million and $10.7 million respectively, compared to the same periods in the prior year. The decrease was primarily the result of the reduction and refinancing of debt at DPL and DP&L in 2018 and 2019.
DPL – Loss on Early Extinguishment of Debt
During the nine months ended September 30, 2019, Loss on early extinguishment of debt increased $38.5 million, compared to the same period in the prior year. The increase was primarily due to the make-whole premium payment of $41.4 million related to the $400.0 million partial redemption of the $780.0 million 7.25% Notes due 2021 in the second quarter of 2019, partially offset by the make-whole premium payment of $5.1 million related to the $101.0 million partial redemption of the 6.75% Senior Notes due 2019 in the second quarter of 2018.
DPL – Income Tax Expense / (Benefit) From Continuing Operations
Income tax expense of $3.1 million during the three months ended September 30, 2018 changed to an Income tax benefit of $9.4 million during the three months ended September 30, 2019. The change of $12.5 million was primarily due to the impact of the September 26, 2019 PUCO order, which finalized the amount of excess deferred tax balances allocable to DP&L’s utility customers.
Income tax expense of $1.5 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2018 changed to an income tax benefit of $12.6 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2019. The change of $14.1 million was primarily due to the impact of the September 26, 2019 PUCO order, which finalized the amount of excess deferred tax balances allocable to DP&L’s utility customers.
DPL – Discontinued Operations
Net income from discontinued operations was $(0.5) million and $25.8 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, respectively, compared to $4.3 million and $29.2 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, respectively. This income relates to the generation components of Miami Fort, Zimmer, Stuart, Killen and the Peaker assets, which were disposed of either by sale or retirement in recent years. See Part I, Item 1, Note 14 – Discontinued Operations in the Notes to DPL's Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS BY SEGMENT - DPL
DPL has presented the results of operations of Miami Fort Station, Zimmer Station, the Peaker Assets, Stuart Station, and Killen Station as discontinued operations as a group of components for all periods presented. For more information, see Part I, Item 1, Note 14 – Discontinued Operations of Notes to DPL's Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. As such, AES Ohio Generation only has operating activity coming from its undivided ownership interest in Conesville, which does not meet the thresholds to be a separate reportable operating segment. Therefore, DPL manages its business through one reportable operating segment, the Utility segment. The primary segment performance measure is income / (loss) from continuing operations before income tax as management has concluded that this measure best reflects the underlying business performance of DPL and is the most relevant measure considered in DPL’s internal evaluation of the financial performance of its segment. The Utility segment is discussed further below.
Utility Segment
The Utility segment is comprised of DP&L’s electric transmission and distribution businesses, which distribute electricity to residential, commercial, industrial and governmental customers. DP&L distributes electricity to more than 524,000 retail customers located in a 6,000-square mile area of West Central Ohio. DP&L’s electric transmission and distribution businesses are subject to rate regulation by federal and state regulators. Accordingly, DP&L applies the accounting standards for regulated operations to its electric transmission and distribution businesses recording regulatory assets when incurred costs are expected to be recovered in future customer rates and regulatory liabilities when current cost recoveries in customer rates relate to expected future costs. The Utility segment includes revenues and costs associated with our investment in OVEC and the historical results of DP&L’s Beckjord Facility, which was closed in 2014 and transferred to a third party in the first quarter of 2018, and
56
Hutchings Coal generating facility, which was closed in 2013. These assets did not transfer to AES Ohio Generation as part of DP&L's Generation Separation on October 1, 2017. Thus, they are grouped within the Utility segment for segment reporting purposes. In addition, regulatory deferrals and collections, which include fuel deferrals in historical periods, are included in the Utility segment.
Included within the “Other” column are other businesses that do not meet the GAAP requirements for disclosure as reportable segments as well as certain corporate costs, which include interest expense and loss on early extinguishment of debt on DPL's long-term debt as well as adjustments related to purchase accounting from the Merger. DPL's undivided interest in Conesville is included within the "Other" column as it does not meet the requirement for disclosure as a reportable operating segment, since the results of operations of the other EGUs are presented as discontinued operations. The accounting policies of the reportable segment are the same as those described in Note 1 – Overview and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies of our 10-K. Intersegment sales, costs of sales and expenses are eliminated in consolidation. Certain shared and corporate costs are allocated between "Other" and the Utility reporting segment.
See Part I, Item 1, Note 11 – Business Segments of Notes to DPL's Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information regarding DPL’s reportable segment.
The following table presents DPL’s Income / (loss) from continuing operations before income tax by business segment:

DP&L – Revenues
Retail customers, especially residential and commercial customers, consume more electricity during warmer and colder weather than they do during mild temperatures. Therefore, our retail sales volume is impacted by the number of heating and cooling degree-days occurring during a year. Cooling degree-days typically have a more significant impact than heating degree-days since some residential customers do not use electricity to heat their homes. Because of the impact of the decoupling rider (effective January 1, 2019) weather has a minimal impact on our net operating results.
We sell our share of the generation from OVEC into the wholesale market which covers a multi-state area and settles on an hourly basis throughout the year. Factors impacting our wholesale sales volume each hour of the year include wholesale market prices; retail demand throughout the entire wholesale market area; and availability of OVEC generating plants to sell into the wholesale market.

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, Depreciation and amortization decreased $1.7 million and $3.6 million, respectively, compared to the same periods in the prior year. The decrease was primarily due to lower software amortization in 2019.
DP&L – Taxes Other Than Income Taxes
During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, Taxes other than income taxes increased $1.8 million and $3.9 million, respectively, compared to the same periods in the prior year. The increase for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 was primarily the result of a favorable adjustment made in 2018 for 2017 Ohio property taxes to reflect actual payments.
DP&L – Loss on Disposal of Business
During the nine months ended September 30, 2018, DP&L recorded a loss on disposal of business of $12.4 million due to the loss on the transfer of business interests in the Beckjord facility.
60
DP&L – Income Tax Expense / (Benefit)
Income tax expense of $6.3 million during the three months ended September 30, 2018 changed to a benefit of $7.2 million during the three months ended September 30, 2019 primarily due to the impact of the September 26, 2019 PUCO order, which finalized the amount of excess deferred tax balances allocable to DP&L’s utility customers.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2019, Income tax expense decreased $6.9 million, compared to the same period in the prior year primarily due to the impact of the September 26, 2019 PUCO order, which finalized the amount of excess deferred tax balances allocable to DP&L’s utility customers, partially offset by higher pre-tax income in the current year as compared to the prior year.
61
KEY TRENDS AND UNCERTAINTIES
Following the issuance of the DRO in September 2018 and the resulting changes to the decoupling rider, we expect that our financial results will be less driven by retail demand and weather but will be impacted by customer growth within our service territory. In addition, DPL's and DP&L's financial results are likely to be driven by other factors including, but not limited to:
• | regulatory outcomes; |
• | the passage of new legislation, implementation of regulations or other changes in regulation; |
• | timely recovery of transmission and distribution expenditures; and |
• | with respect to DPL, exiting generation assets currently owned by AES Ohio Generation. |
Regulatory Environment
DPL’s, DP&L’s and our other subsidiaries’ facilities and operations are subject to a wide range of regulations and laws by federal, state and local authorities. As well as imposing continuing compliance obligations, these laws and regulations authorize the imposition of substantial penalties for noncompliance, including fines, injunctive relief and other sanctions. In the normal course of business, we have investigatory and remedial activities underway at these facilities and operations in an effort to comply, or to determine compliance, with such regulations. We record liabilities for losses that are probable and can be reasonably estimated. In addition to matters discussed or updated herein, our 2018 Form 10-K and Forms 10-Q previously filed with the SEC during 2019 describe other regulatory matters which have not materially changed since those filings.
Ohio Regulatory Proceedings
DMR
On October 20, 2017, the PUCO approved DP&L’s 2017 ESP. On January 7, 2019, the Ohio Consumers' Counsel appealed to the Supreme Court of Ohio the 2017 ESP with respect to the bypassability of the Reconciliation Rider and the exclusion of the DMR from the SEET. That proceeding has been stayed pending an appeal in a related case involving another utility.
Pursuant to the 2017 ESP, on January 22, 2019, DP&L filed a request with the PUCO for a two-year extension of its DMR through October 2022, in the proposed amount of $199.0 million for each of the two additional years. The extension request was set at a level expected to reduce debt obligations at both DP&L and DPL and to position DP&L to make capital expenditures to maintain and modernize its electric grid. DP&L’s DMP investments are contingent upon the PUCO approving the two-year extension of its DMR.
A rehearing process in DP&L's 2017 ESP case, including the DMR, remains pending. On August 1, 2019, DP&L filed a supplemental brief with the PUCO focused on the applicability of a recent court decision involving another Ohio utility’s DMR which is similar to, but not identical to, DP&L’s DMR.
Ohio House Bill 6
On July 23, 2019, the Governor of Ohio signed Ohio House Bill 6, which, among other things, does the following:
• | beginning January 1, 2020, replaces DP&L’s non-bypassable Reconciliation Rider, permitting DP&L to defer, recover or credit the net proceeds from selling energy and capacity received as part of DP&L’s interest in OVEC and its OVEC-related costs through 2023, with a non-bypassable recovery mechanism for recovery of prudently incurred OVEC costs through 2030; |
• | eliminates the annual energy efficiency targets for Ohio utilities after 2020; and |
• | allows Ohio utilities to construct customer-sited renewable generation for mercantile customers or groups of mercantile customers, the costs of which may only be recovered from those customers. |
Regulatory impact of tax reform
On September 26, 2019 the PUCO approved a unanimous stipulation agreeing to return a total of $65.1 million, $83.2 million when including taxes associated with the refunds, to distribution customers.
See Part I, Item 1, Note 3 – Regulatory Matters of Notes to DPL's Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and Part I, Item 1, Note 3 – Regulatory Matters of Notes to DP&L's Condensed Financial Statements for further information regarding regulatory matters.
62
United States Tax Law Reform
Considering the significant changes to the U.S. tax system enacted in 2017, the U.S. Treasury Department and Internal Revenue Service have issued numerous regulations. While certain regulations are now final, there are many regulations that are proposed and still others anticipated to be issued in proposed form. The final version of any regulations may vary from the proposed form. When final, these regulations may materially impact our effective tax rate. Certain of the proposed regulations, when final, may have retroactive effect to January 1, 2018 or January 1, 2019.
Environmental Matters
In addition to imposing continuing compliance obligations, these laws and regulations authorize the imposition of substantial penalties for noncompliance, including fines, injunctive relief and other sanctions. In the normal course of business, we have investigatory and remedial activities underway at our facilities to comply, or to determine compliance, with such regulations. We record liabilities for loss contingencies related to environmental matters when a loss is probable of occurring and can be reasonably estimated in accordance with the provisions of GAAP. Accordingly, we have immaterial accruals for loss contingencies for environmental matters. We also have several environmental matters for which we have not accrued loss contingencies because the risk of loss is not probable, or a loss cannot be reasonably estimated. We evaluate the potential liability related to environmental matters quarterly and may revise our estimates. Such revisions in the estimates of the potential liabilities could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, financial condition and cash flows. We refer to the discussion in “Item 1. Business - Environmental Matters” in our 2018 Form 10-K for a discussion of certain recent developments in environmental laws and regulations.
We have several pending environmental matters associated with our stations. Some of these matters could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.
Because of DPL’s decision to retire its Stuart and Killen generating stations, the sale of its ownership interest in the Miami Fort and Zimmer generating stations and the planned 2020 retirement of Conesville, the following environmental regulations and requirements are now not expected to have a material impact on DPL:
• | The CAA and the following regulations: |
• | CSAPR and associated updates; |
• | MATS and any associated regulatory or judicial processes; |
• | NAAQS; and |
• | the Affordable Clean Energy Rule. |
Additionally, because of the retirement of Stuart and Killen noted above, the following environmental regulations and requirements are not expected to have a material impact on DPL with respect to either of the two generating stations:
• | water intake regulations finalized by the USEPA on May 19, 2014 and |
• | revised technology-based regulations governing water discharges from steam electric generating facilities, finalized by the USEPA on November 3, 2015. |
Clean Water Act Regulation of Water Discharge
On January 7, 2013, the Ohio EPA issued a final NPDES permit to the Stuart Station which included a compliance schedule for performing a study to justify an alternate thermal limitation or take undefined measures to meet certain temperature limits. On February 1, 2013, DP&L appealed various aspects of the final permit to the ERAC. On August 8, 2019, the ERAC dismissed the appeal in response to a Joint Motion to Dismiss.
Notice of Potential Liability for Third Party Disposal Site
On October 16, 2019, DP&L received a special notice that USEPA considers DP&L, along with other parties, to be a PRP for the clean-up of hazardous substances at a third-party landfill known as the Tremont City Barrel Site, located near Dayton, Ohio. While DP&L is currently unable to predict the outcome of this matter, if DP&L were required to contribute to the clean-up of the site, it could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations.
Regulation of Waste Disposal
The USEPA's final CCR rule became effective in October 2015. Generally, the rule regulates CCR as nonhazardous solid waste and establishes national minimum criteria for existing and new CCR landfills and existing and new CCR ash ponds, including location restrictions, design and operating criteria, groundwater monitoring, corrective action and closure requirements and post-closure care. On December 16, 2016, President Obama signed into law the
63
Water Infrastructure Improvements for the Nation Act ("WIIN Act"), which includes provisions to implement the CCR rule through a state permitting program, or if the state chooses not to participate, a possible federal permit program. The USEPA has indicated that they will implement a phased approach to amending the CCR rule. In July 2018, the USEPA published final CCR rule amendments (Phase One, Part One) in the Federal Register. In August 2018, the D.C. Circuit Court issued a decision in certain CCR litigation matters, which may result in additional revisions to the CCR rule. In October 2018, some environmental groups filed a petition for review challenging the USEPA's final CCR rule amendments (Phase One, Part One) which have since been remanded without vacatur to the USEPA. On August 14, 2019, the USEPA published amendments to the CCR rule relating to the CCR rule’s criteria for determining beneficial use and the regulation of CCR piles, among other revisions. On November 4, 2019, the USEPA signed additional amendments to the CCR Rule titled “A Holistic Approach To Closure Part A: Deadline To Initiate Closure.” The October 2015 CCR rule, current or proposed amendments to the October 2015 CCR rule, the results of groundwater monitoring data or the outcome of CCR-related litigation could have a material impact on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
CAPITAL RESOURCES AND LIQUIDITY
DPL and DP&L had unrestricted cash and cash equivalents of $36.8 million and $14.4 million, respectively, at September 30, 2019. At that date, neither DPL nor DP&L had short-term investments. DPL and DP&L had aggregate principal amounts of long-term debt outstanding of $1,378.2 million and $582.6 million, respectively.
Approximately $139.6 million of DPL's long-term debt, including $139.6 million of DP&L's long-term debt, matures within twelve months of the balance sheet date. From time to time, we may elect to repurchase our outstanding debt through cash purchases, privately negotiated transactions or otherwise when management believes such repurchases are favorable to make. The amounts involved in any such repurchases may be material. See Part I, Item 1, Note 6 – Long-term Debt of Notes to DPL's Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and Part I, Item 1, Note 6 – Long-term Debt of Notes to DP&L's Condensed Financial Statements.
We depend on timely and continued access to capital markets to manage our liquidity needs. The inability to raise capital on favorable terms, to refinance existing indebtedness or to fund operations and other commitments during times of political or economic uncertainty could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, financial condition and cash flows. In addition, changes in the timing of tariff increases or delays in regulatory determinations could affect the cash flows and results of operations of our businesses.
Our discussion of DPL’s financial condition, liquidity and capital requirements include the results of its principal subsidiary DP&L.
CASH FLOWS
DPL’s financial condition, liquidity and capital requirements include the consolidated results of its principal subsidiary DP&L. All material intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Net cash provided by / (used in) investing activities was $(125.9) million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 compared to $157.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018. The investing activity for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 primarily relates to capital expenditures of $122.4 million, which increased from the prior year mainly due to significant storm restoration efforts in the third quarter of 2019. The investing activity for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 primarily relates to proceeds from the sale of business of $234.9 million due to the sale of the Peaker assets, and proceeds of $10.6 million related to the June transmission swap with Duke and AEP. This was partially offset by capital expenditures of $75.8 million and a payment on the disposal of Beckjord of $14.5 million.
DPL – Cash flows from financing activities
Net cash used in financing activities was $(67.7) million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 compared to $(249.4) million from financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2018. The financing activity for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 is primarily due to debt repayments, including early payment premiums, of $978.0 million, and $9.2 million of payments of deferred financing costs. This was partially offset by debt issuances, net of discount, of $821.7 million, and net revolving credit facility borrowings of $98.0 million. The financing activity for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 is primarily due to debt repayments of $239.4 million.

DP&L – Cash flows from investing activities
Net cash used in investing activities was $(124.6) million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 compared to $(69.0) million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018. The investing activity for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 primarily represents capital expenditures of $121.1 million, which increased from the prior year mainly due to significant storm restoration efforts in the third quarter of 2019. The investing activity for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 is primarily capital expenditures of $65.0 million and a payment on the disposal of Beckjord of $14.5 million. This was partially offset by proceeds of $10.6 million related to the June transmission swap with Duke and AEP.
DP&L – Cash flows from financing activities
Net cash used in financing activities was $(48.5) million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 compared to $(37.1) million from financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2018. The financing activity for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 is primarily due to returns of capital paid to parent of $90.0 million, debt repayments, including early payment premium, of $436.1 million, and payments of deferred financing costs of $4.6 million. This was partially offset by debt issuances, net of discount, of $422.3 million. The financing activity for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 is primarily related to $63.3 million of debt repayments and returns of capital paid to parent of $43.8 million. This was partially offset by an $80.0 million capital contribution from DPL.
LIQUIDITY
We expect our existing sources of liquidity to remain sufficient to meet our anticipated operating needs. Our business is capital intensive, requiring significant resources to fund operating expenses, construction expenditures, scheduled debt maturities, debt carrying costs and, for DP&L, dividend payments to DPL. In 2019 and subsequent years, we expect to satisfy these requirements with a combination of cash from operations and funds from debt financing as internal liquidity needs and market conditions warrant. We also expect that the borrowing capacity under bank credit facilities will continue to be available to us to manage working capital requirements during these periods.
At September 30, 2019, DP&L and DPL have access to the following revolving credit facilities:
$ in millions | Type | Maturity | Commitment | Amounts available as of September 30, 2019 | ||||||||
DP&L | Revolving | June 2024 | $ | 175.0 | $ | 113.9 | ||||||
DPL | Revolving | June 2023 | 125.0 | 75.9 | ||||||||
$ | 300.0 | $ | 189.8 |
DP&L has an unsecured revolving credit agreement with a syndicated bank group with a borrowing limit of $175.0 million and a $75.0 million letter of credit sublimit, as well as a feature that provides DP&L the ability to increase the size of the facility by an additional $100.0 million. This facility expires in June 2024. At September 30, 2019, there was one letter of credit in the amount of $1.1 million outstanding under this facility, and $60.0 million in borrowings,
66
with the remaining $113.9 million available to DP&L. Fees associated with this letter of credit facility were not material during the nine months ended September 30, 2019 or 2018.
DPL has a revolving credit facility of $125.0 million, with a $75.0 million letter of credit sublimit and a feature that provides DPL the ability to increase the size of the facility by an additional $50.0 million. This facility is secured by a pledge of common stock that DPL owns in DP&L, limited to the amount permitted to be pledged under certain Indentures dated October 3, 2011 and April 17, 2019 between DPL and Wells Fargo Bank, NA and U.S. Bank National Association, respectively, as Trustee. The facility expires in June 2023. At September 30, 2019, there were six letters of credit in the aggregate amount of $11.1 million outstanding and $38.0 million in borrowings, with the remaining $75.9 million available to DPL. Fees associated with this facility were not material during the nine months ended September 30, 2019 or 2018.
Capital Requirements
Planned construction additions for 2019 relate primarily to new investments in and upgrades to DP&L’s transmission and distribution system. Capital projects are subject to continuing review and are revised considering changes in financial and economic conditions, load forecasts, legislative and regulatory developments and changing environmental requirements, among other factors.
DPL is projecting to spend an estimated $657.0 million in capital projects for the period 2019 through 2021, of which $649.0 million is projected to be spent by DP&L. These amounts include expected spending under DP&L's Distribution Modernization Plan filed with the PUCO in December 2018. On January 22, 2019, DP&L filed a request with the PUCO for a two-year extension of its DMR through October 2022, in the proposed amount of $199.0 million for each of the two additional years. The request was made pursuant to the PUCO’s October 20, 2017 ESP order, which approved the DMR and had the option for DP&L to file for a two-year extension. The extension request was set at a level expected to reduce debt obligations at both DP&L and DPL and to position DP&L to make capital expenditures to maintain and modernize its electric grid. To that end, DP&L’s DMP investments are contingent upon the PUCO approving the two-year extension of its DMR.
DP&L is subject to the mandatory reliability standards of NERC and Reliability First Corporation (RFC), one of the eight NERC regions, of which DP&L is a member. DP&L anticipates spending approximately $221.0 million within the next five years to reinforce its 138-kV system to comply with NERC standards. Our ability to complete capital projects and the reliability of future service will be affected by our financial condition, the availability of internal funds and the reasonable cost of external funds. We expect to finance our construction additions with a combination of cash on hand, short-term financing, long-term debt and cash flows from operations.
Long-term debt covenants
For information regarding our long-term debt covenants, see Part I, Item 1, Note 6 – Long-term Debt of Notes to DPL's Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and Part I, Item 1, Note 6 – Long-term Debt of Notes to DP&L's Condensed Financial Statements.

If the rating agencies were to reduce our debt or credit ratings, our borrowing costs may increase, our potential pool of investors and funding resources may be reduced, and we may be required to post additional collateral under selected contracts. These events could have an adverse effect on our results of operations, financial condition and cash flows. In addition, any such reduction in our debt or credit ratings may adversely affect the trading price of our outstanding debt securities.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
For information on guarantees, commercial commitments, and contractual obligations, see Part I, Item 1, Note 10 – Contractual Obligations, Commercial Commitments and Contingencies of Notes to DPL's Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and Part I, Item 1, Note 10 – Contractual Obligations, Commercial Commitments and Contingencies of Notes to DP&L's Condensed Financial Statements.
MARKET RISK
We are subject to certain market risks including, but not limited to, changes in commodity prices for electricity and fluctuations in interest rates. Our Risk Management Committee (RMC), comprised of members of senior management, is responsible for establishing risk management policies and the monitoring and reporting of risk exposures. The RMC meets on a regular basis with the objective of identifying, assessing and quantifying material risk issues and developing strategies to manage these risks.
The disclosures presented in this section are based upon a number of assumptions; actual effects may differ. The safe harbor provided in Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 shall apply to the disclosures contained in this section. For further information regarding market risk, see Item 1A.—Risk Factors and Item 7A - Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk of our Form 10-K. Our businesses may incur substantial costs and liabilities and be exposed to price volatility as a result of risks associated with the electricity markets, which could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, financial condition and cash flows. In addition, we may not be adequately hedged against our exposure to changes in interest rates.
Interest Rate Risk
Because of our normal investing and borrowing activities, our financial results are exposed to fluctuations in interest rates which we manage through our regular financing activities. We maintain both cash on deposit and investments in cash equivalents that may be affected by adverse interest rate fluctuations. DPL has fixed-rate long-term debt. DP&L has both fixed-rate and variable-rate long-term debt. The variable-rate debt is comprised of bank held tax-exempt bonds. The variable-rate bonds bear interest based on an underlying interest rate index, typically LIBOR. Market indexes can be affected by market demand, supply, market interest rates and other economic conditions. As of September 30, 2019, the effect of a 100-basis-point change in interest rates would be approximately $1.2 million for DPL and $1.2 million for DP&L. See Part I, Item 1, Note 6 – Long-term Debt of Notes to DPL's Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and Part I, Item 1, Note 6 – Long-term Debt of Notes to DP&L's Condensed Financial Statements.
As of September 30, 2019, we have two interest rate swaps to hedge the variable interest on our $140.0 million variable interest rate tax-exempt First Mortgage Bonds. The interest rate swaps have a combined notional amount of $140.0 million and settle monthly based on a one-month LIBOR.
Long-term debt maturities and repayments occurring in the next twelve months are discussed under "CAPITAL RESOURCES AND LIQUIDITY".

Critical Accounting Estimates
DPL’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and DP&L’s Condensed Financial Statements are prepared in accordance with GAAP. In connection with the preparation of these financial statements, our management is required to make assumptions, estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, expenses and the related disclosure of contingent liabilities. These assumptions, estimates and judgments are based on our historical experience and assumptions that we believe to be reasonable at the time. However, because future events and their effects cannot be determined with certainty, the determination of estimates requires the exercise of judgment. Our critical accounting estimates are those which require assumptions to be made about matters that are highly uncertain.
Different estimates could have a material effect on our financial results. Judgments and uncertainties affecting the application of these policies and estimates may result in materially different amounts being reported under different conditions or circumstances. Historically, however, recorded estimates have not differed materially from actual results. Significant items subject to such judgments include: the carrying value of property, plant and equipment; unbilled revenues; the valuation of derivative instruments; the valuation of insurance and claims liabilities; the valuation of allowances for receivables and deferred income taxes; regulatory assets and liabilities; liabilities recorded for income tax exposures; litigation; contingencies; the valuation of AROs; assets and liabilities related to employee benefits and intangible assets. Refer to our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018 for a complete listing of our critical accounting policies and estimates. We have reviewed and determined that these remain as critical accounting policies as of and for the nine months ended September 30, 2019.
Item 3 – Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
See the “MARKET RISK” section in Item 2 of this Part I, which is incorporated by reference into this item.
Item 4 – Controls and Procedures
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
DPL and DP&L, under the supervision and with the participation of its management, including our Chief Executive Officer (CEO) and Chief Financial Officer (CFO), evaluated the effectiveness of our “disclosure controls and procedures,” as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Based on that evaluation, our CEO and CFO concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of September 30, 2019, to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and include controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in such reports is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our CEO and CFO, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.
Changes in Internal Controls over Financial Reporting
We periodically review our internal controls over financial reporting as part of our efforts to ensure compliance with the requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. In addition, we routinely review our system of internal controls over financial reporting to identify potential changes to our processes and systems that may improve controls and increase efficiency, while ensuring that we maintain an effective internal controls environment. Changes may include such activities as implementing new, more efficient systems, migrating certain processes to our shared services organizations, formalizing policies and procedures, improving segregation of duties and increasing monitoring controls. During the second quarter of 2019, we implemented a new core enterprise resource planning (ERP) system, which we expect to enhance our system of internal controls over financial reporting. As a result of this implementation, we modified certain existing internal controls as well as implemented new controls and procedures related to the new ERP. We continued to evaluate the design and operating effectiveness of these internal controls during the third quarter of 2019.
Except with respect to the implementation of the ERP, there were no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting that occurred in the third quarter of 2019 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting. We will continue to monitor the internal control structure over financial reporting to ensure that the design is proper and operating effectively.

Part II – Other Information
Item 1 – Legal Proceedings
In the normal course of business, we are subject to various lawsuits, actions, claims, and other proceedings. We are also, from time to time, involved in other reviews, investigations and proceedings by governmental and regulatory agencies regarding our business, certain of which may result in adverse judgments, settlements, fines, penalties, injunctions or other relief. We have accrued in our Financial Statements for litigation and claims where it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of loss can be reasonably estimated. We believe the amounts provided in our Financial Statements, as prescribed by GAAP, for these matters are adequate considering the probable and estimable contingencies. However, there can be no assurances that the actual amounts required to satisfy alleged liabilities from various legal proceedings, claims and other matters (including those matters noted below), and to comply with applicable laws and regulations will not exceed the amounts reflected in our Financial Statements. As such, costs, if any, that may be incurred in excess of those amounts provided for in our Financial Statements, cannot be reasonably determined, but could be material.
Our Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2018 and Forms 10-Q for the quarters ended March 31, and June 30, 2019 and the Notes to DPL’s Consolidated Financial Statements and DP&L’s Financial Statements included therein contain descriptions of certain legal proceedings in which we are or were involved. The information in or incorporated by reference into this Item 1 to Part II is limited to certain recent developments concerning our legal proceedings and new legal proceedings, since the filing of such Forms 10-K and 10-Q, and should be read in conjunction with such Forms 10-K and 10-Q.
The following information is incorporated by reference into this Item: information about the legal proceedings contained in Part I, Item 2 – Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations and Part I, Item 1, Note 3 – Regulatory Matters of Notes to DPL's Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and Part I, Item 1, Note 3 – Regulatory Matters of Notes to DP&L's Condensed Financial Statements of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
Item 1A – Risk Factors
A listing of the risk factors that we consider to be the most significant to a decision to invest in our securities is provided in our Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2018. As of September 30, 2019, there have been no material changes with respect to the risk factors disclosed in our Form 10-K. If any of the events described in our risk factors occur, it could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.
The risks and uncertainties described in our risk factors are not the only ones we face. In addition, new risks may emerge at any time, and we cannot predict those risks or estimate the extent to which they may affect our business or financial performance. Our risk factors should be read in conjunction with the other detailed information concerning DPL and DP&L set forth in the Notes to DPL’s and DP&L’s Financial Statements found in Part I, Item 1, and the “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” sections included in our filings.
