Portland General Electric Reports 2017 Financial Results and Initiates 2018 Earnings Guidance

February 16, 2018 at 5:00 AM EST

  • Full-year 2017 financial results on target excluding the effects of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act
  • Initiating 2018 earnings guidance of $2.10 to $2.25 per diluted share
  • Filed 2019 General Rate Case with the Oregon Public Utility Commission

PORTLAND, Ore.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Portland General Electric Company (NYSE: POR) today reported net income based on generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) of $187 million, or $2.10 per diluted share, for the year ended December 31, 2017. This compares with $193 million, or $2.16 per diluted share, for the year ended December 31, 2016. After adjusting for the impacts of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (TCJA), non-GAAP net income was $204 million, or $2.29 per diluted share, for the year ended December 31, 2017. GAAP-based net income was $42 million, or 48 cents per diluted share, for the fourth quarter of 2017. This compares with $61 million, or 68 cents per diluted share, for the comparable period of 2016. After adjusting for the impacts of the TCJA, non-GAAP net income was $59 million, or 67 cents per diluted share, for the fourth quarter of 2017. Looking forward, the company is initiating full-year 2018 earnings guidance of $2.10 to $2.25 per diluted share.

"I'm very proud of our employees' accomplishments in delivering outstanding service to our growing customer base and in collaborating with our stakeholders and customers on our Integrated Resource Plan," said Maria Pope, president and CEO. "We are focused on meeting customer expectations for safe, reliable, affordable, clean and secure energy."

2017 earnings compared to 2016 earnings

Before reflecting the impact of the TCJA, annual earnings per diluted share increased year-over-year. Favorable weather had a positive impact on gross margin. This impact was partially offset by adjustments to net deferred taxes as a result of the TCJA, increased service restoration expenses resulting from unusually high storm activity, and depreciation expense and carrying costs related to previously reported incremental construction costs for Carty. Additionally, annual earnings per diluted share decreased due to lower production tax credit generation, higher depreciation and amortization expenses related to additional investments, and higher employee benefits expenses.

2018 earnings guidance

PGE is initiating full-year 2018 earnings guidance of $2.10 to $2.25 per diluted share, which includes the impact of warmer than normal weather in January 2018. Additional assumptions include the following:

  • A decline in retail deliveries between 0 and 1 percent, weather adjusted;
  • Average hydro conditions;
  • Wind generation based on five years of historical levels or forecast studies when historical data is not available;
  • Normal thermal plant operations;
  • Operating and maintenance costs between $575 and $595 million; and
  • Depreciation and amortization expense between $365 and $385 million.

The guidance provided assumes OPUC approval of the Company's intended filing of a deferral application to recover the revenue requirement associated with the customer information system replacement project (Customer Touchpoints), which is expected to be placed in service in the second quarter of 2018.

Company Updates

2019 General Rate Case

On February 15, 2018, PGE filed a general rate case with a 2019 test year (2019 GRC), which would result in an overall customer price increase of 4.8 percent, after adjusting for the effects of the TCJA, effective in January of 2019.

"We are respectful of the impact price increases can have on our customers, and we are committed to protecting affordability," said Pope. "We're making necessary investments in our grid to maintain the safe and reliable service customers expect, and we're upgrading our customer service systems to provide better, more secure service."

PGE's grid investments include:

  • Replacing or upgrading electrical equipment that poses a reliability risk
  • Equipping substations with technology that will shorten outages
  • Strengthening IT systems to protect against cyber and other potential threats
  • Adding infrastructure to accommodate rapid growth in the region while maintaining reliability for all customers

The requested price increase reflects:

  • Return on equity of 9.5 percent
  • Capital structure of 50 percent debt and 50 percent equity
  • Cost of capital of 7.31 percent
  • Rate base of $4.86 billion
  • Annual revenue increase of $86 million, net of customer credits and supplemental tariff updates

PGE expects the Commission to issue a final order in December 2018, with new prices effective in January of 2019. The specific impact on individual customers' bills will vary depending on usage and customer class. If the OPUC approves PGE's request as submitted, typical residential customers using a monthly average of 800 kilowatt-hours of power would see their bill increase by about $6.50 per month.

2018 General Rate Case

On January 1, 2018, new customer prices went into effect pursuant to the OPUC order issued in PGE's 2018 GRC. The OPUC authorized a $16 million increase in annual revenues, representing an approximate 1 percent overall increase in customer prices. In addition, the order approved a capital structure of 50 percent debt and 50 percent equity, a return on equity of 9.5 percent, a cost of capital of 7.35 percent, and a rate base of $4.5 billion.

The general rate case filings, as well as copies of the orders, direct testimony, exhibits, and stipulations are available on the OPUC website at www.oregon.gov/puc.

Integrated Resource Planning

In November 2016, PGE filed an IRP (2016 IRP) with the Oregon Public Utility Commission (OPUC). The 2016 IRP addressed acquisition of additional resources to meet Renewable Portfolio Standard (RPS) requirements and replace energy and capacity from Boardman, which will cease coal-fired operations at the end of 2020. Further actions identified through 2021 are expected to offset expiring power purchase agreements and integrate variable energy resources, such as wind or solar generation facilities.

In August 2017, the OPUC acknowledged PGE's 2016 IRP and the following primary action plan items:

  • Meet additional capacity needs of 561 MW, of which 240 MW must be dispatchable, in 2021;
  • Acquire a total of 135 MWa of cost-effective energy efficiency;
  • Acquire at least 77 MW (winter) and 69 MW (summer) demand response through 2020 and 16 MW of dispatchable standby generation from customers to help manage peak load conditions and other supply contingencies;
  • Submit one or more energy storage proposals, and;
  • Perform voltage reduction and various research and studies related to flexible capacity and curtailment metrics, customer insights, decarbonization, risks associated with Direct Access, treatment of market capacity, accessing resources from Montana, and load forecasting improvements.

In December 2017, PGE received acknowledgement from the OPUC of the filed addendum to the 2016 IRP for the procurement of 100 MWa of RPS compliant renewable resources.

Since issuing the 2016 IRP, PGE has identified a potential benchmark wind resource that could have a nameplate capacity of up to 300 MW that would meet the acknowledged need for renewable resources and qualify for the federal Production Tax Credit. The Company continues to explore this option and should due diligence be completed and agreements reached, the potential benchmark resource would be submitted into the RFP and considered along with other renewable resource proposals. The RFP process will include oversight by an independent evaluator and review by the OPUC.

In December 2017, the OPUC approved PGE's application for waiver of the competitive bidding guidelines for the procurement of capacity. PGE has now finalized bilateral power purchase agreements for a total capacity of 300 MW.

Tax Reform

On December 22, 2017, the TCJA was enacted and signed into law with an effective date of January 1, 2018. The reduction of the federal corporate tax rate from 35% to 21% required the Company to remeasure its existing deferred income tax balances as of December 31, 2017. As a result of the Company's remeasurement, net deferred tax liabilities on the Company's consolidated balance sheets were reduced by $340 million.

Of the remeasurement amount, $357 million has been deferred as a regulatory liability and is expected to be refunded to customers over time. The remaining remeasurement amount of $17 million represents a reduction to net deferred tax assets related to other business items, primarily comprised of deferred tax assets related to the Company's non-qualified employee benefit plans. The Company has recorded a $17 million charge to the results of operations, reflected as an increase in income tax expense in the Company's consolidated statements of income for the period ended December 31, 2017.

As a result of the TCJA, PGE expects to incur lower income tax expense in 2018 than what was estimated in setting customer prices in the Company's 2018 GRC. In addition to the effects of the 2017 remeasurement of deferred income taxes, PGE has proposed to defer and refund the 2018 expected net benefits of the TCJA under a deferral application filed with the OPUC on December 29, 2017. If approved as requested, any refund to customers of the net benefits associated with the TCJA in 2018 would be subject to an earnings test and limited by the Company's previously authorized regulated return on equity.

The impact of the TCJA may differ from these amounts due to, among other things, changes in interpretations and assumptions the Company has made; federal tax regulations, guidance or orders that may be issued by the U.S. Department of the Treasury, Internal Revenue Service, and OPUC; and actions the Company may take as a result of the TCJA.

Revenues increased $86 million, or 4.5%, in 2017 compared with 2016 as a result of the items discussed below.

Total retail revenues increased $77 million, or 4.3%, in 2017 compared with 2016, primarily due to the net effect of:

  • A $71 million increase due to a 3.9% increase in retail energy deliveries consisting of a 7.2% increase in residential deliveries, a 2.8% increase in industrial deliveries, and a 1.3% increase in commercial deliveries. Considerably cooler temperatures in the first half of 2017 than experienced in 2016 combined with warmer temperatures in the summer cooling season in 2017, both drove deliveries higher in 2017 than in 2016.
  • A $10 million increase resulting from the Decoupling mechanism, as an estimated $13 million collection was recorded in 2017; and
  • A $5 million increase, directly offset in Depreciation and amortization expense, related to the accelerated cost recovery of Colstrip, partially offset by
  • A $5 million reduction as a result of overall price changes, which includes a $55 million reduction in revenues attributable to lower NVPC, as filed in the 2017 AUT; and
  • A $3 million decrease due to higher customer credits related to the USDOE settlement in connection with operation of the ISFSI at the former Trojan nuclear power plant site. Such credits are directly offset in Depreciation and amortization expense.

Total heating degree-days in 2017 were above the 15-year average and considerably greater than total heating degree-days in 2016. Total cooling degree-days in 2017 exceeded the 15-year average by 49% and were considerably higher than 2016. The following table presents the number of heating and cooling degree-days in 2017 and 2016, along with the 15-year averages, reflecting that weather had a considerable influence on comparative energy deliveries:

           
  Heating Degree-Days   Cooling Degree-Days
  2017       2016      

15-Year
Average

  2017       2016      

15-Year
Average

1st quarter 2,171   1,585   1,867    
2nd quarter 686 403 689 129 154 70
3rd quarter 78 78 78 571 394 399
4th quarter   1,623     1,486     1,599             2  
Total   4,558     3,552     4,233     700     548     471  
Increase (decrease) from the 15-year average   8 %   (16 )%   49 %   16 %
 

On a weather-adjusted basis, total retail energy deliveries in 2017 were 0.6% below 2016 levels. PGE projects that retail energy deliveries for 2018 will be nearly comparable to slightly lower than 2017 weather-adjusted levels, reflecting the closure of a large paper customer in late 2017 as well as continued energy efficiency and conservation efforts.

Wholesale revenues result from sales of electricity to utilities and power marketers made in the Company's efforts to secure reasonably priced power for its retail customers, manage risk, and administer its current long-term wholesale contracts. Such sales can vary significantly from year to year as a result of economic conditions, power and fuel prices, hydro and wind availability, and customer demand.

In 2017, the $2 million, or 2%, increase in wholesale revenues from 2016 consisted of a $7 million increase that resulted as a 7% increase in average prices was received when the Company sold power into the wholesale market, partially offset by a $5 million decrease related to 5% less wholesale sales volume.

Other operating revenues increased $7 million, or 19%, in 2017 from 2016, as the sale of excess natural gas not used to fuel the Company's generating facilities accounted for the majority of the increase.

Actual NVPC, which consists of Purchased power and fuel expense net of Wholesale revenues, decreased $27 million in 2017 compared with 2016. The decrease attributable to changes in Purchased power and fuel expense was the result of a 6% decline in the average variable power cost per MWh, offset slightly by a 2% increase in total system load. The decrease in actual NVPC was also driven by a 7% increase in the average price per MWh of wholesale power sales, offset slightly by a 5% decrease in the volume of wholesale energy deliveries as a greater portion of its system load was used to meet retail load requirements, largely due to the effects of weather.

For 2017, actual NVPC, as calculated for regulatory purposes under the PCAM, was $15 million above the 2017 baseline NVPC. In 2016, NVPC was $10 million below the anticipated baseline.

Generation, transmission, and distribution expense increased $23 million, or 8%, in 2017 compared with 2016. The increase was driven by the combination of $10 million in higher costs due to the addition of Carty, $8 million higher service restoration and storm costs, $3 million higher plant maintenance expenses, and $2 million higher information technology expenses.

Administrative and other expense increased $17 million, or 7%, in 2017 compared with 2016, primarily due to $12 million higher overall labor and employee benefit expenses and $3 million higher legal costs attributable to Carty.

Depreciation and amortization expense in 2017 increased $24 million, or 7%, compared with 2016. The increase was primarily driven by $26 million higher expense resulting from capital additions, offset by a $3 million reduction in expense due to higher amortization credits in 2017 of the regulatory liability for the ISFSI spent fuel settlement. The overall impact resulting from the amortization of the regulatory assets and liabilities is directly offset by corresponding reductions in retail revenues.

Taxes other than income taxes expense increased $4 million, or 3%, in 2017 compared with 2016, driven by $2 million higher Oregon property taxes and $2 million higher payroll taxes.

Interest expense increased $8 million, or 7%, in 2017 compared with 2016 due to a $4 million decrease in the credits for the allowance for borrowed funds used during construction (primarily due to the Carty plant being placed in service in 2016) and increased expense of $3 million resulting from a 5% increase in the average balance of debt outstanding.

Other income, net was $17 million in 2017 compared to $22 million in 2016, with the decrease primarily due to lower allowance for equity funds used during construction, which resulted from Carty being placed in service during 2016.

Income tax expense increased $36 million, or 72%, in 2017 compared to 2016. The change relates to a $13 million increase due to higher pre-tax income and $7 million due to lower production tax credits. Additionally, income tax expense increased $17 million due to the remeasurement of deferred taxes pursuant to the change in corporate tax rates in the TCJA.
