FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: July 25, 2002
RELIANT ENERGY REPORTS SECOND QUARTER 2002 EARNINGS
HOUSTON, TX. - Reliant Energy, Incorporated (NYSE: REI) today reported
net income for the second quarter of 2002, of $236 million, or $0.79 per diluted
share, compared to net income of $316 million, or $1.08 per diluted share, for
the second quarter of 2001. Reliant Energy's earnings reflect its approximately
83 percent interest in Reliant Resources (NYSE: RRI).
The decrease in net income for the second quarter of 2002 was largely
driven by an earnings decline in the company's wholesale energy segment due to
less favorable market conditions, somewhat offset by increases in earnings in
the company's retail energy, European energy and natural gas distribution
segments. Results for the second quarter of 2002 also reflected increased
interest expense and a negative impact related to the ZENS securities.
For the six months ended June 30, 2002, Reliant Energy reported income
before the cumulative effect of accounting change of $461 million, or $1.55 per
diluted share, compared to $517 million, or $1.78 per diluted share, for the
same period of 2001. The decrease for this period was largely driven by the
factors discussed above.
"The company and our industry have faced many challenges in recent
months," said Steve Letbetter, chairman, president and chief executive officer.
"We remain focused on the effective operation of our businesses, and in the
quarter, our retail electric business in Houston and our regulated natural gas
distribution operations performed very well. However, weak wholesale market
conditions negatively impacted our results."
SUMMARY OF TWO NEW REPORTABLE BUSINESS SEGMENTS
This year, Reliant Energy started reporting two new reportable business
segments, electric transmission & distribution and electric generation, instead
of the former electric operations segment. With the opening of the Texas market
to retail electric competition in January, generation and retail electric sales
were deregulated. Retail electric sales are now reported as the retail energy
segment of Reliant Resources and the previously regulated generation operations
in Texas are being reported in the new segment, electric generation.

The electric transmission and distribution segment reports results from
two sources, including the regulated transmission and distribution operations as
well as the impacts of generation-related stranded costs recoverable by the
regulated utility. This segment also reports the impact of some regulated
electric utility operations resulting from the transition to a restructured
electric market in Texas.
As a result of the implementation of deregulation and the subsequent
new segments, there are no meaningful comparisons for these segments against
prior periods.
EBIT BY SEGMENT DETAILED
ELECTRIC TRANSMISSION & DISTRIBUTION
The electric transmission & distribution segment reported EBIT
(earnings before interest and taxes) of $277 million for the second quarter of
2002. This reflected EBIT of $107 million for the regulated electric
transmission and distribution business and non-cash EBIT of $170 million
associated with certain generation-related regulatory assets (ECOM, or Excess
Cost Over Market, true-up) recorded pursuant to the Texas restructuring law.
The electric transmission and distribution business recovers the cost
of its service through an energy delivery charge. This business benefited from
growth in residential demand in the second quarter of 2002 compared to the same
period of last year, partially offset by an anticipated decline in deliveries to
industrial customers resulting from a move to self-generation. Metered electric
customers, totaling 1.75 million at the end of the second quarter of 2002,
continue to grow at an annualized rate of 2 percent.
Under the Texas restructuring law, a regulated utility may recover as
part of its stranded investment any difference between auction market prices and
the market prices used in the Texas Public Utility Commission's ECOM model. This
difference, which is recorded as a regulatory asset, produced the $170 million
of non-cash EBIT for the ECOM true-up in the second quarter of 2002.
Although the company's retail electric sales are now conducted by
Reliant Resources, retail customers remained regulated customers of Reliant
Energy HL&P through the date of their first meter reading in 2002. Sales during
this transition period produced EBIT of $14 million in the first quarter of
2002, which is reflected in this segment. In the second quarter of 2002,
additional costs of $7 million associated with transitioning to a competitive
marketplace were incurred. The company expects to continue to incur transition
costs during the remainder of the year, which the company anticipates will
substantially offset the EBIT recorded in the first quarter.
ELECTRIC GENERATION
The electric generation segment is comprised of over 14,000 MW of
electric generation located entirely in the state of Texas, and will be called
Texas Genco after the company's restructuring. This segment reported a $26
million loss before interest and taxes for the second quarter of 2002.
- more -
NATURAL GAS DISTRIBUTION
The natural gas distribution segment reported EBIT of $14 million for
the second quarter of 2002 compared to a loss before interest and taxes of $41
million for the same period of 2001. The amount of goodwill amortization expense
recognized in the second quarter of 2001 was approximately $8 million. A
significant improvement in bad debt expense in the second quarter of 2002
compared to the high levels of bad debt experienced in the same period last year
contributed to the operating improvement. Also contributing to the
quarter-over-quarter EBIT increase were changes in estimates of unbilled
revenues and deferred gas costs, which negatively impacted the second quarter of
2001.
PIPELINES AND GATHERING
EBIT for the pipelines and gathering segment increased to $41 million
for the second quarter of 2002 compared to $34 million for the same period of
2001. The amount of goodwill amortization expense recognized in the second
quarter of 2001 was approximately $4 million.
WHOLESALE ENERGY
EBIT for the wholesale energy segment was $31 million in the second
quarter of 2002, compared to $298 million in the same period of 2001. The
decrease was primarily due to less favorable market conditions, which resulted
in lower operating margins from trading and marketing activities and power
generation operations. Other factors affecting the decrease include: charges in
connection with the cancellation of power plant development projects; increased
depreciation expense related to ownership of the Orion assets and a write-off
due to closure of a power plant in Pennsylvania; increased operation and
maintenance expense primarily related to ownership of the Orion assets and an
increase in a reserve for anticipated refunds to be ordered by the FERC relating
to California operations.
RETAIL ENERGY
The company's retail energy segment produced EBIT of $205 million in
the second quarter of 2002, compared to a loss of $2 million in the second
quarter of 2001. The Texas retail electricity market opened to full competition
in January 2002. At that time, the retail energy segment began serving
approximately 1.7 million electricity customers in the greater Houston, Texas
area. These increased sales were partially offset by increased overhead, gross
receipts taxes, marketing and bad debt expense.
EUROPEAN ENERGY
The European energy segment produced EBIT of $105 million in the second
quarter of 2002, compared to $62 million in the 2001 period. This increase was
primarily the result of a one-time net gain of $109 million due to amendments to
two power supply contracts. Results for 2001 reflected efficiency and energy
payments from NEA, the coordinating body for the Dutch electric generating
sector prior to the start of wholesale competition, and the valuation of the
company's interest in NEA, which was recorded as equity income in 2001.
- more -
OTHER OPERATIONS
The company's other operations, which include its thermal systems,
power systems, new ventures businesses, various real estate used in business
operations, remaining operations in Latin America and unallocated corporate
costs, reported a loss before interest and taxes for the second quarter of 2002
of $15 million. This compares to a loss before interest and taxes of $25 million
for the same period of 2001.
GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLE ASSETS
On January 1, 2002, the company discontinued amortizing goodwill in
accordance with SFAS No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets". The
amounts of goodwill amortization expense that were recognized in 2001 were $21
million and $42 million for the quarter and six months ended June 30,
respectively. During the second quarter, the company completed the evaluation of
goodwill for its regulated operations units, the natural gas distribution and
pipeline and gathering units. The evaluation concluded that no impairment was
required to be recognized for these units. The analysis of impairment for the
goodwill associated with its European operations has concluded that an
impairment does exist. However, the quantification of the impairment has not
been finalized. Upon completion of the quantification, the impairment will be
recorded as a cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle as of
January 1, 2002.
OUTLOOK FOR 2002
After the spin-off of Reliant Resources, CenterPoint Energy will
include primarily the regulated businesses reported under the electric
transmission and distribution, natural gas distribution and pipelines and
gathering segments. CenterPoint Energy will also include the Texas power
generation assets, reported under the electric generation segment, until at
least 2004 when Reliant Resources has an option to purchase these assets.
Reliant Resources provides competitive energy services including non-regulated
power generation, wholesale energy trading and marketing, retail energy services
and wholesale energy in Europe.
Assuming completion of the spin-off of Reliant Resources, 2002 earnings
per share for the segments that will comprise CenterPoint Energy are expected to
be in the range of $1.17 to $1.22, excluding its prior interests in Reliant
Resources. Reliant Resources, Inc. (NYSE: RRI), which completed its initial
public offering of approximately 20 percent of its shares in May 2001, revised
its earnings guidance for 2002 from a range of $1.80 to $2.00 per share to a
range of $1.65 to $1.85 per share. This revision is primarily due to continued
weakness in wholesale market conditions in the U.S. and Europe, partially offset
by stronger performance in Reliant Resources' retail operations.
Reliant Energy and Reliant Resources continue to have constructive
discussions with their banks regarding refinancing alternatives and expect
acceptable results will be achieved.
Reliant Energy remains committed to the spin-off of Reliant Resources
and continues to believe it is the right strategic step for both companies. Each
company is well positioned for success in its respective market sector.
Additionally, as separate entities, the companies will have better access to
capital than as a combined company.
