Portland General Electric announces second quarter results
PORTLAND, Ore. — Portland General Electric Company (NYSE: POR) today reported net income of $35 million, or 43 cents per diluted share, for the second quarter of 2014. This compares with a net loss of $22 million, or 29 cents per diluted share, for the second quarter of 2013. The increase in earnings primarily reflects the impact of two expenses in the second quarter of 2013 - the Cascade Crossing transmission project write off and an industrial customer refund - totaling 49 cents when including the full year of tax benefits.
Excluding these two items, second quarter 2013 non-GAAP adjusted earnings per share would have been 20 cents per diluted share. Earnings per diluted share for the second quarter of 2014 were 23 cents higher than the
non-GAAP adjusted earnings per diluted share for the second quarter of 2013 primarily due to the alignment of revenues and operating expenses as authorized in the 2014 general rate case and increased allowance of equity funds used during construction for the company’s three new generating resources.
“PGE continues to demonstrate strong operational performance across the company in 2014,” said Jim Piro, president and chief executive officer. “Construction of our three new generating resources is proceeding on time and on budget, our 2015 general rate case is progressing on schedule, and our financial performance is in line with our expectations.”
Company updates
| |
• | Generation projects: Construction is progressing smoothly on all three generation projects selected last year through the competitive RFP processes. |
| |
◦ | Port Westward Unit 2—All twelve engines are now installed at Port Westward Unit 2, a 220 megawatt natural gas-fired capacity resource, and initial testing will begin later this summer. The plant is expected to be placed in service in the first quarter of 2015 at an estimated cost of $300 million, excluding allowances for funds used during construction. |
| |
◦ | Tucannon River Wind Farm—Construction of all 116 turbine foundations is complete at Tucannon River Wind Farm, a 267 megawatt wind farm in southeastern Washington, and turbine erection has begun. The wind farm is expected to be placed in service between December 2014 and March 2015 at an estimated cost of $500 million, excluding AFDC. |
| |
◦ | Carty Generating Station—Foundations are being poured at Carty Generating Station, a 440 megawatt natural gas-fired baseload power plant, and heat recovery steam generator construction |
will begin soon. The plant is expected to be placed in service mid-2016 at an estimated cost of $450 million, excluding AFDC.
| |
• | General rate case filing: In February of this year, PGE filed a general rate case primarily requesting recovery of incremental costs to bring Port Westward Unit 2 and Tucannon River Wind Farm into service. The request originally proposed an $81 million increase in revenue requirements and included a return on equity of 10 percent, a capital structure of 50 percent debt and 50 percent equity, and an average rate base of $3.9 billion. |
On July 16, 2014, PGE filed testimony supporting a revised revenue requirement increase of $31 million, which reflects the impacts of stipulations reached to-date with Staff and interveners, updates to 2015 power cost and load forecasts, and other updates. The cost of long-term debt and the capital structure have been settled, while the return on equity and modifications to the PCAM are among things yet to be resolved. PGE expects the Oregon Public Utility Commission to issue a final order with approved price changes before the end of 2014 for prices effective early 2015.
Second quarter operating results
Retail revenues increased $23 million, or 6 percent, to $396 million for the second quarter of 2014 from $373 million for the second quarter of 2013. The increase consisted of:
| |
• | $14 million resulting from the January 1, 2014 price increase authorized by the OPUC in the company’s 2014 general rate case; |
| |
• | $9 million due to an industrial customer refund recorded in the second quarter of 2013; and |
| |
• | $5 million related to the collection of costs deferred in 2012 related to four capital projects beginning January 1, 2014 (offset in depreciation and amortization); partially offset by |
| |
• | $3 million decrease related to various items, including the decoupling mechanism and other supplemental tariff changes; and |
| |
• | $2 million decrease related to lower volumes of energy delivered in the second quarter of 2014 compared with the second quarter of 2013. Residential and industrial energy deliveries declined 1.8 percent and 0.7 percent, respectively, while commercial energy deliveries increased 1.0 percent. |
Net variable power cost, which consists of purchased power and fuel expense net of wholesale revenues, decreased approximately $10 million for the second quarter of 2014 compared with the second quarter of 2013. The decrease was due to a 7 percent decline in total system load, a 3 percent decline in the average variable power cost per MWh and a 22 percent increase in the average wholesale sales price, partially offset by a 34 percent decrease in wholesale sales volume. The decrease in the average variable power cost was driven by the economic displacement of a greater amount of thermal generation with purchased power during the second quarter of 2014 relative to the second quarter of 2013, combined with an increase in energy received from wind generating resources. For the second quarters of 2014 and 2013, actual NVPC was $11 million and $13 million, respectively, below baseline NVPC (which is included in customer prices).
Production and distribution expense increased $3 million, or 5 percent, in the second quarter of 2014 compared with the second quarter of 2013, primarily due to an increase in costs associated with the company’s ownership of Boardman. On December 31, 2013, PGE’s ownership of Boardman increased from 65 percent to 80 percent.
Cascade Crossing transmission project consists of $52 million of costs charged to expense in the second quarter of 2013 that were previously capitalized in connection with this project.
Depreciation and amortization expense increased $11 million, or 18 percent, in the second quarter of 2014 compared with the second quarter of 2013, with $8 million related to timing of the deferral and amortization of costs of four capital projects as authorized in the company’s 2011 General Rate Case. In the second quarter of 2013, PGE deferred $4 million of costs related to these four projects and in the second quarter of 2014, the company
recorded $4 million of amortization expense related to the recovery of these costs (offset in retail revenues). In addition, capital additions increased depreciation and amortization expense by $4 million.
Interest expense decreased $2 million, or 8 percent, in the second quarter of 2014 compared with the second quarter of 2013, as a $4 million decrease related to higher AFDC from the construction of three new generation projects, was partially offset by an increase related to a higher average balance of debt outstanding.
Other income, net increased $7 million in the second quarter of 2014 compared with the second quarter of 2013 due to an increase in AFDC from the higher average CWIP balance.
Income tax expense was $10 million in the second quarter of 2014 compared with a benefit of $11 million in the second quarter of 2013. The change is primarily due to the increase in the annual estimated pre-tax income for 2014 compared to 2013, which was driven by the charge to expense related to Cascade Crossing and an industrial customer refund recorded in 2013, offset by a favorable income tax benefit in 2014 related to an increase in the allowance for equity funds used during construction.
2014 earnings guidance
PGE is affirming full-year 2014 earnings guidance of $2.05 to $2.20 per diluted share, based on the following assumptions:
| |
• | Average hydro conditions; |
| |
• | Wind generation based on historical levels; |
| |
• | Normal thermal plant operations; |
| |
• | Colstrip Unit 4 replacement power costs of $1.5 million in January; |
| |
• | Operating and maintenance costs between $480 and $500 million; |
| |
• | Depreciation and amortization expense between $295 and $305 million; and |
| |
• | Capital expenditures of approximately $1 billion. |
