Calpine Reports Second Quarter 2004 Financial and Operating Results
(SAN JOSE, CALIF.) /PR NEWSWIRE — First Call/ Aug. 5, 2004 — Calpine Corporation [NYSE:CPN], one of North America’s leading power companies, today announced financial and operating results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2004. A conference call, set for 8:30 a.m. PDT today, will be accompanied by a comprehensive presentation of the financial and operating results for the quarter. The presentation will be located on Calpine’s investor relations page at www.calpine.com.
For the three months ended June 30, 2004, the company reported a loss per share of $0.07, or $28.7 million of net loss, compared to a loss per share of $0.06, or $23.4 million of net loss for the quarter ended June 30, 2003. The results for the second quarter of 2004 include a gain of approximately $0.25 per share associated with the restructuring and sale of power purchase agreements for two of the company’s New Jersey power plants, net of transaction costs and the write-off of unamortized deferred financing costs; $0.02 per share from the restructuring of a long-term gas supply contract, net of transaction costs; and $0.02 per share from the King City restructuring transaction, which gave rise to a gain from the sale of the company’s collateral debt securities, net of transaction costs and write-off of deferred financing costs. This gain was offset by non-cash charges including losses of $0.02 per share from the expensing of deferred financing costs in connection with refinancing activities; $0.03 per share from mark-to-market activities, net; and $0.01 per share from foreign exchange transaction losses. The results for the three months ended June 30, 2003, included a gain of approximately $0.10 per share, or $52.8 million, in connection with terminating a tolling arrangement with a unit of Aquila on the Acadia facility.
For the six months ended June 30, 2004, the company reported a $0.24 loss per share, or a $99.9 million of net loss, compared with a $0.20 loss per share, or a $75.4 million of net loss for the six months ended June 30, 2003.

“During the second quarter, power plant performance remained strong, and we continued to execute on our liquidity-enhancing and financing programs,” stated Calpine Chief Executive Officer and President Peter Cartwright. “Calpine’s earnings, however, were impacted by weak spark spreads across North America as well as additional operating, depreciation and interest costs associated with new plants coming on line.
“For the quarter, Calpine added five plants to our power portfolio, representing more than 3,100 net megawatts of new capacity. Consistent with our long-term strategy, several of these new facilities are now serving major wholesale customers under long-term power and steam sales contracts. On the liquidity and financing front, we completed approximately $506 million in financing and liquidity transactions, and repurchased $181.6 million of debt and preferred securities.
“During the quarter, we continued to see promising signals that point to a positive market shift,” continued Cartwright. “Sparks spreads, while weak overall, rose quarter-over-quarter in all major markets, except for ERCOT. Power consumption in North America increased by about 2.4%, and we experienced record peak demand in two of Calpine’s major power markets. Moving forward, Calpine will continue our program to enhance liquidity, increase our revenue-generating capabilities, lower operating and overhead costs, and strengthen our balance sheet.”
2004 Second Quarter Results
Calpine recorded a net loss of $28.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2004, compared to a net loss of $23.4 million for the same period in 2003, as gross profit decreased by $107.9 million, or 61%, to $67.7 million. The gross profit decrease is the result of lower per megawatt-hour spark spreads realized during the three months ended June 30, 2004, and additional costs associated with new power plants coming on line. For the three months ended June 30, 2004, Calpine generated 22.1 million megawatt-hours, which equated to a baseload capacity factor of 47%, and realized an average spark spread of $21.91 per megawatt-hour. For the same period in 2003, Calpine generated 17.5 million megawatt-hours, which equated to a capacity factor of 48%, and realized an average spark spread of $26.93 per megawatt-hour. In the quarter ended June 30, 2004, the company netted approximately $322 million of sales of purchased power for hedging and optimization with purchased power expense. This was due to the adoption on October 1, 2003, on a prospective basis, of new accounting rules related to presentation of non-trading derivative activity. Without this netting from sales of purchased power for hedging and optimization, total revenue would have grown by approximately 22% versus 7% as reported. Additional increases in power plant costs for the three months ended June 30, 2004, as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2003, include a $22.8 million increase in depreciation expense and a $64.0 million increase in plant operating expense. Also, during the three months ended June 30, 2004, financial results were affected by a $115.1 million increase in interest expense and distributions on trust preferred securities, as compared to the same period in 2003. This occurred as a result of higher debt balances, higher average interest rates and lower capitalization of interest expense as new plants entered commercial operation. The results for the three months ended June 30, 2003, included a gain of approximately $0.10 per share, or $52.8 million, in connection with terminating a tolling arrangement with a unit of Aquila on the Acadia facility.

Aug. 5, 2004
Other income was $206.0 million higher in the three months ended June 30, 2004, compared to the prior year primarily due to pre-tax income in the amount of $171.5 million associated with the restructuring and sale of power purchase agreements for two of the company’s New Jersey plants, net of transaction costs and the write-off of unamortized deferred financing costs; an $11.7 million pre-tax gain from the restructuring of a long-term gas supply contract, net of transaction costs; and a $12.6 million pre-tax gain from the King City restructuring transaction related to the sale of the company’s collateral debt securities, net of transaction costs.
2004 Six-Month Results
Calpine recorded a net loss of $99.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2004, compared to a net loss of $75.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2003. Gross profit decreased by $152.5 million, or 45%, to $188.2 million. This decrease is the result of lower per megawatt-hour spark spreads realized during the six months ended June 30, 2004, and additional costs associated with new power plants coming on line. For the six months ended June 30, 2004, Calpine generated 43.1 million megawatt-hours, which equated to a capacity factor of 48%, and realized an average spark spread of $21.49 per megawatt-hour. For the same period in 2003, Calpine generated 36.6 million megawatt-hours, which equated to a capacity factor of 52%, and realized an average spark spread of $24.83 per megawatt-hour. Additional increases in power plant costs for the six months ended June 30, 2004 as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2003, include a $38.4 million increase in depreciation expense, a $77.9 million increase in plant operating expense and a $10.9 million increase in transmission purchase expense. Also, during the six months ended June 30, 2004, financial results were affected by a $211.3 million increase in interest expense and distributions on trust preferred securities, as compared to the first six months of 2003. This occurred as a result of higher debt balances, higher average interest rates and lower capitalization of interest expense as new plants entered commercial operation.
Other income increased by $259.1 million during the six months ended June 30, 2004, as compared to the same period in 2003, primarily as a result of the factors indicated in the three-month discussion found above, and because during the six months ended June 30, 2004, the company recorded a foreign currency transaction gain of $4.8 million compared to a loss of $44.3 million in the corresponding period in 2003.
Finance Program Highlights
During the past several months, Calpine continued to focus on enhancing liquidity and addressing near-term financing obligations with a number of transactions, including:
| • | | The refinancing of its Rocky Mountain and Riverside Energy Centers with the issuance of $633.4 million of floating rate secured institutional term loans due 2011. After repayment of amounts outstanding under existing non-recourse project financing facilities, the refinancing returned approximately $160 million to Calpine for general corporate purposes. |

| • | | The restructuring and sale of its power contracts related to two of its plants in New Jersey, the 118-megawatt Parlin and 58-megawatt Newark Power Plants. Calpine raised approximately $101 million after transaction costs and the repayment of approximately $79 million of non-recourse project debt associated with the projects. |
|
| • | | In transactions initiated during the second quarter, Calpine has repurchased $181.6 million of the principal amount of its outstanding debt and its High Tides preferred securities as listed below: |
| | | | | | | | |
- | | 8 1/4% Senior Notes Due 2005 | | $ | 38,950,000 | |
- | | 7 3/4% Senior Notes Due 2009 | | $ | 11,000,000 | |
- | | 8 1/2% Senior Notes Due 2011 | | $ | 9,000,000 | |
- | | 10 1/2% Senior Notes Due 2006 | | $ | 7,650,000 | |
- | | 5 3/4% High Tides I | | $ | 40,000,000 | |
- | | 5 1/2% High Tides II | | $ | 75,000,000 | |
| | | The securities were repurchased in exchange for approximately $56.2 million in cash and approximately 24.3 million shares of Calpine common stock valued at approximately $112.5 million. |
|
| • | | Calpine created a new entity, Calpine Energy Management (CEM), and implemented a new credit enhancement structure that it expects will increase working capital and improve margins. CEM has entered into a $250 million letter of credit facility with Deutsche Bank (rated Aa3/AA-) that expires in October 2005. Deutsche Bank will guarantee CEM’s short-term power and gas obligations by issuing letters of credit. CEM will provide Deutsche Bank with collateral in the form of receivables from its power sales. |
|
| • | | The company continued to reduce capital requirements for Calpine Energy Services (CES), the company’s commodity transaction and risk management subsidiary. Compared to the first quarter of 2004, CES’s total collateral requirements decreased by 11% to $288 million from $323 million. |
The company has identified a number of potential liquidity-enhancing opportunities that could raise in excess of $2 billion through transactions that include the issuance of additional First Priority Secured Debt, previously announced sale of the company’s Canadian gas reserves and certain of its U.S. gas reserves, the monetization of power contracts, construction financing and the sale of a preferred interest in certain projects.

(1) | | This non-GAAP measure is presented not as a measure of operating results, but rather as a measure of our ability to service debt and to raise additional funds. It should not be construed as an alternative to either (i) income from operations or (ii) cash flows from operating activities. It is defined as net income less income from unconsolidated investments, plus cash received from unconsolidated investments, plus provision for tax, plus interest expense (including distributions on trust preferred securities and one-third of operating lease expense, which is management’s estimate of the component of operating lease expense that constitutes interest expense,) plus depreciation, depletion and amortization. The interest, tax and depreciation and amortization components of discontinued operations are added back in calculating EBITDA, as adjusted. |
|
(2) | | This non-GAAP measure is presented as a further refinement of EBITDA, as adjusted, to reflect the company’s ability to service debt with cash. |
|
(3) | | Does not include MWh generated by unconsolidated investments in power projects. |
|
(4) | | From continuing operations. |
|
(5) | | Amounts based on Calpine’s ownership percentage. |
|
(6) | | Includes accumulated other comprehensive income (“AOCI”) of $22,054 at June 30, 2004, and $56,594 at December 31, 2003. Excluding AOCI from stockholders’ equity would change the debt to capitalization ratio to 79% at June 30, 2004, but would not change the debt to capitalization ratio at December 31, 2003. |

APPENDIX D: CONTRACTUAL PORTFOLIO DEFINITIONS The following detailed reports represent several data points for Calpine's power generation portfolio as of June 30, 2004. Estimated Generation Baseload - Estimated generation, in millions of megawatt hours, represents the baseload generation capacity of Calpine's fleet based upon a 95% plant availability level. This availability factor is used to account for scheduled maintenance and other miscellaneous outages. It also takes into account the generation capacity year-by-year as a result of our current estimates of commercial operation dates for those plants currently in construction. Peaking - Estimated generation, in millions of megawatt hours, represents a peaking generation capacity based upon a 30% plant availability and dispatch factor or higher if a plant-specific contract dictates. |

APPENDIX D: CONTRACTUAL PORTFOLIO DEFINITIONS (continued) Contractual Generation This represents in millions of megawatt hours, the baseload and peaking generation under contract. For those contracts that are take or pay, the contractual generation estimate assumes the customers take 100% of the contracted power. Contracts Announced / Signed Subsequent to June 30, 2004 Contracts that have been announced and, or signed subsequent to June 30, 2004 are not reflected in this data. Such contracts, as they are finalized, will be reflected in future Contractual Portfolios. % Sold Calculated as the contractual generation divided by the estimated generation. Contractual Spark Spread Represents the contractual or "locked in" spark spread embedded in the company's contracted portfolio. Also includes the value of the company's equity gas reserves which is represented by the market price of gas less operating costs. |
