August 6, 2015 5:00 AM
PR Newswire

CHARLOTTE, N.C., Aug. 6, 2015 /PRNewswire/ —

  • Second quarter 2015 adjusted diluted earnings per share (EPS) were 95 cents, compared to $1.11 for the second quarter of 2014
  • Reported diluted EPS of 78 cents for second quarter 2015, compared to 86 cents in second quarter of 2014
  • Company remains on track to achieve its 2015 adjusted diluted earnings guidance range of $4.55 to $4.75 per share

Duke Energy today announced second quarter 2015 adjusted diluted EPS of 95 cents, compared to $1.11 for the second quarter of 2014. Second quarter 2015 reported EPS was 78 cents, compared to 86 cents for the same period last year.

Earnings for the second quarter of 2015 were lower than the prior year quarterly results, primarily due to one-time tax items that did not recur in the current year. Results also were affected by continued weakness in the International business, particularly Brazil, and the timing of O&M expenses at Regulated Utilities.

Year-to-date adjusted diluted EPS through the second quarter of 2015 is in line with the company’s expectations. The company remains on track to achieve its 2015 adjusted diluted earnings guidance range of $4.55 to $4.75 per share.

Strength in the Regulated Utility business, coupled with the execution of the Midwest Generation sale and related share buyback, have served to offset weakness in the International business thus far in 2015.

“Operationally, we met our customers’ energy needs in the second quarter during extended periods of warmer than normal temperatures particularly in the Southeast,” said Lynn Good, president and CEO. “Equally important, we continued to follow through on the growth initiatives that will provide long-term benefits for our customers.

“We also continue to focus on providing solid returns for our shareholders,” Good added. “Last month, our board approved an approximate 4 percent increase in the quarterly dividend payment, reflecting its confidence in the strength of our core businesses and cash flows.”  

Business unit results

In addition to the summary business unit discussion below, a comprehensive table of quarterly and year-to-date adjusted earnings per share drivers compared to the prior year is provided on pages 16 and 17.

The discussion below of second quarter results includes adjusted segment income, which is a non-GAAP financial measure. The tables on pages 25 through 28 present a reconciliation of reported results to adjusted results.

Regulated Utilities

Regulated Utilities recognized second quarter 2015 adjusted segment income of $632 million, compared to $689 million in the second quarter 2014, a decrease of 9 cents per share, excluding the benefit of the accelerated stock repurchase program.

Lower quarterly results at Regulated Utilities were primarily driven by:

  • Higher O&M expense (-$0.11 per share) due to the timing of planned outages in the generation fleet. This includes the impact of nuclear outage cost levelization (-$0.05 per share)
  • Higher depreciation and amortization expense (-$0.05 per share) primarily resulting from additional plant in-service
  • Higher effective tax rate (-$0.04 per share) primarily due to a favorable prior-year state tax settlement

These unfavorable drivers were partially offset by:

  • Higher weather-normal retail volumes (+$0.05 per share) of 1.7 percent compared to 2014
  • Favorable weather (+$0.03 per share) driven by warmer than normal temperatures, primarily in the Carolinas
  • Higher revenues from increased pricing and riders (+$0.03 per share) due to increased energy efficiency programs and prior-year true-ups that did not recur
  • Increased wholesale net margins (+$0.02 per share) primarily resulting from growth in contracted amounts

On a year-to-date basis, Regulated Utilities recognized adjusted segment income of $1,406 million, compared to $1,426 million in the comparable year-to-date period of 2014, a decrease of 4 cents per share, excluding the benefit of the accelerated stock repurchase program.

Decreased year-to-date results at Regulated Utilities were primarily driven by:

  • Higher O&M expense (-$0.12 per share) due to the timing of planned outages in the generation fleet. This includes the impact of nuclear outage cost levelization (-$0.07 per share) and is offset by lower storm costs
  • Higher depreciation and amortization expense (-$0.08 per share) primarily resulting from additional plant in-service
  • Higher effective tax rate (-$0.04 per share) primarily due to a favorable prior-year state tax settlement

These unfavorable drivers were partially offset by:

  • Higher revenues from increased pricing and riders (+$0.07 per share) due to increased energy efficiency programs and prior-year true-ups that did not recur
  • Increased wholesale net margins (+$0.06 per share) primarily due to growth in contracted amounts
  • Higher AFUDC equity (+$0.03 per share) due to increased capital spending
  • Higher weather-normal retail volumes (+$0.02 per share) of 0.5 percent compared to 2014
  • Favorable weather (+$0.02 per share) across Duke Energy’s service territories

International Energy

International Energy recognized second quarter 2015 adjusted segment income of $52 million, compared to $146 million in the second quarter 2014, a decrease of 13 cents per share.

Lower quarterly results at International Energy were primarily driven by:

  • Unfavorable results in Latin America (-$0.13 per share) primarily due to a prior-year favorable tax adjustment in Chile (-$0.07 per share), impacts from the weak economy and lower demand for electricity in Brazil (-$0.04 per share), as well as foreign currency exchange rates (-$0.01 per share)

On a year-to-date basis, International Energy recognized adjusted segment income of $88 million, compared to $276 million in the comparable year-to-date period of 2014, a decrease of 26 cents per share.

Lower year-to-date earnings at International Energy were driven by:

  • Weaker results in Latin America (-$0.23 per share), primarily due to a prior-year non-recurring tax benefit in Chile (-$0.07 per share), impacts from the weak economy and lower demand for electricity in Brazil (-$0.12 per share) as well as unfavorable foreign currency exchange rates (-$0.01 per share)
  • Lower margins at National Methanol (-$0.03 per share), largely driven by lower MTBE and methanol prices

Commercial Portfolio

Subsequent to the sale of its nonregulated Midwest Commercial Generation Business to Dynegy Inc. in April, Commercial Portfolio (formerly Commercial Power) includes Duke Energy’s unregulated renewable assets as well as its commercial electric and gas transmission investments.

Commercial Portfolio recognized second quarter 2015 adjusted segment income of $8 million, compared to $16 million in the second quarter 2014, a decrease of 1 cent per share. The decline in Commercial Portfolio’s quarterly earnings is primarily due to lower earnings from the renewables fleet resulting from lower wind resources.

On a year-to-date basis, Commercial Portfolio recognized adjusted segment income of $103 million, compared to $26 million in the comparable year-to-date period of 2014, an increase of 11 cents per share.

Commercial Portfolio’s higher year-to-date earnings were driven by higher results from the Midwest Generation fleet during the first quarter 2015 (+$0.14 per share), partially offset by lower earnings from the renewables fleet (-$0.01 per share) resulting from lower wind resources.

Other

On an adjusted basis, Other primarily includes corporate interest expense not allocated to the business units, results from Duke Energy’s captive insurance company, other investments, and quarterly income tax levelization adjustments.

Other recognized a second quarter 2015 adjusted net expense of $34 million, compared to net expense of $65 million in the second quarter 2014, an improvement of 4 cents per share. 

On a year-to-date basis, Other recognized adjusted net expense of $58 million, compared to $113 million in the comparable period of 2014, an improvement of 8 cents per share. Other’s quarterly and year-to-date results were primarily driven by favorable results from the company’s captive insurance business and favorable income tax levelization adjustments.

The consolidated adjusted effective tax rate for second quarter 2015 was 31.2 percent, compared to 28.2 percent in the second quarter of 2014. On a year-to-date basis, the consolidated adjusted effective tax rate was 32 percent, compared to 31.1 percent in the prior year. Adjusted effective tax rate is a non-GAAP financial measure. The tables on pages 29 and 30 present a reconciliation of reported effective tax rate to adjusted effective tax rate.

Accelerated stock repurchase program

In connection with the transaction to sell the Midwest Generation business to Dynegy for $2.8 billion, which closed on April 2, 2015, Duke Energy completed a $1.5 billion accelerated stock repurchase program (ASR). The program resulted in share retirements of approximately 19.8 million, providing a benefit to the second quarter 2015 and year-to-date results of approximately 3 cents per share.

As a result of the ASR, weighted-average shares of Duke Energy common stock outstanding in 2015 are expected to be approximately 695 million.

Non-GAAP financial measures

Management evaluates financial performance in part based on the non-GAAP financial measures, adjusted earnings and adjusted diluted earnings per share (EPS). These items are measured as income from continuing operations net of income (loss) attributable to non-controlling interests, adjusted for the dollar and per-share impact of mark-to-market impacts of economic hedges in the Commercial Portfolio segment and special items including the operating results of the Midwest Generation business (Disposal Group) classified as discontinued operations for GAAP purposes. Special items represent certain charges and credits, which management believes will not be recurring on a regular basis, although it is reasonably possible such charges and credits could recur. Operating results of the Disposal Group sold to Dynegy are reported as discontinued operations, including a portion of the mark-to-market adjustments associated with derivative contracts. Management believes that including the operating results of the Disposal Group reported as discontinued operations better reflects its financial performance and therefore has included these results in adjusted earnings and adjusted diluted EPS prior to the sale of the Disposal Group. Additionally, as a result of completing the sale of the Disposal Group during the second quarter of 2015, state income tax expense increased as state income tax apportionments changed. The additional tax expense was recognized in Continuing Operations on a GAAP basis. This impact to state income taxes has been reflected in Discontinued Operations in the Commercial Portfolio segment for adjusted diluted EPS purposes as management believes these impacts are incidental to the sale of the Disposal Group. Derivative contracts are used in Duke Energy’s hedging of a portion of the economic value of its generation assets in the Commercial Portfolio segment. The mark-to-market impact of derivative contracts is recognized in GAAP earnings immediately and, if associated with the Disposal Group, classified as discontinued operations, as such derivative contracts do not qualify for hedge accounting or regulatory treatment. The economic value of generation assets is subject to fluctuations in fair value due to market price volatility of input and output commodities (e.g. coal, electricity, natural gas). Economic hedging involves both purchases and sales of those input and output commodities related to generation assets. Operations of the generation assets are accounted for under the accrual method. Management believes excluding impacts of mark-to-market changes of the derivative contracts from adjusted earnings until settlement better matches the financial impacts of the derivative contract with the portion of economic value of the underlying hedged asset. Management believes the presentation of adjusted earnings and adjusted diluted EPS provides useful information to investors, as it provides them an additional relevant comparison of Duke Energy’s performance across periods. Management uses these non-GAAP financial measures for planning and forecasting and for reporting results to the Board of Directors, employees, shareholders, analysts and investors concerning Duke Energy’s financial performance. Adjusted diluted EPS is also used as a basis for employee incentive bonuses. The most directly comparable GAAP measures for adjusted earnings and adjusted diluted EPS are Net Income Attributable to Duke Energy Corporation and Diluted EPS Attributable to Duke Energy Corporation common shareholders, which include the dollar and per share impact of special items, mark-to-market impacts of economic hedges in the Commercial Portfolio segment and discontinued operations.

Management evaluates segment performance based on segment income. Segment income is defined as income from continuing operations net of income attributable to non-controlling interests. Segment income, as discussed below, includes intercompany revenues and expenses that are eliminated in the Consolidated Financial Statements. Management also uses adjusted segment income as a measure of historical and anticipated future segment performance. Adjusted segment income is a non-GAAP financial measure, as it is based upon segment income adjusted for the mark-to-market impacts of economic hedges in the Commercial Portfolio segment and special items, including the operating results of the Disposal Group classified as discontinued operations for GAAP purposes. Management believes the presentation of adjusted segment income as presented provides useful information to investors, as it provides them with an additional relevant comparison of a segment’s performance across periods. The most directly comparable GAAP measure for adjusted segment income is segment income, which represents segment income from continuing operations, including any special items and the mark-to-market impacts of economic hedges in the Commercial Portfolio segment.

Due to the forward-looking nature of any forecasted adjusted earnings guidance, information to reconcile this non-GAAP financial measure to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure is not available at this time, as management is unable to project all special items or mark-to-market adjustments for future periods.

Due to the forward-looking nature of any forecasted adjusted segment income or adjusted Other net expenses and any related growth rates for future periods, information to reconcile these non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures is not available at this time, as the company is unable to forecast all special items, the mark-to-market impacts of economic hedges in the Commercial Portfolio segment, or any amounts that may be reported as discontinued operations or extraordinary items for future periods.

Duke Energy is the largest electric power holding company in the United States with approximately $120 billion in total assets.

Note 1: Earnings Per Share amounts are calculated using the consolidated effective income tax rate.

Note 2: Adjusted and Reported Earnings Per Share amounts by segment may not recompute from other published schedules due to rounding.

Note 3: Prior period operating results reflect reclassifications due to the impact of discontinued operations.

(a)

Reflects the impact on earnings per diluted share due to the decrease in weighted-average diluted common shares outstanding as a result of shares repurchased and retired under the Accelerated Stock Repurchase Program. Weighted-average diluted shares outstanding decreased from 707 million shares for the three months ended June 30, 2014, to 692 million shares for the three months ended June 30, 2015.

(b)

Primarily due to prior-year fuel and purchased power costs true-ups (+$0.02) and higher energy efficiency rider recovery in North Carolina and South Carolina (+$0.01), partially offset by the impact of a regulatory order that limited the ability to carry forward energy efficiency savings for Duke Energy Ohio (-$0.02).

(c)

Primarily due to higher volumes and capacity rates due to favorable weather and the implementation of new contracts.

(d)

Primarily due to an increase in planned spending and the prior-year benefit associated with the adoption of nuclear outage levelization (-$0.05), partially offset by lower storm restoration costs.

(e)

Primarily due to a prior year tax benefit related to the reorganization of the company’s operations in Chile (-$0.07), lower results in Brazil (-$0.04) due to higher purchased power costs resulting from ongoing drought conditions, lower results in Central America (-$0.01) due to lower generation and prices from increased competition, and unfavorable foreign currency exchange rates (-$0.01).

(f)

Primarily due to lower wind production and additional depreciation expense from higher depreciable base.

(g)

Amount for Regulated Utilities includes increased depreciation and amortization expense (-$0.05) due to higher depreciable base and higher non-income taxes (-$0.03), partially offset by higher AFUDC-equity

(+$0.01).

* Mark-to-market adjustments reflect the impact of derivative contracts, which are used in Duke Energy’s hedging of a portion of the economic value of its generation assets in the Commercial Portfolio segment and also relate to existing derivative positions that may have tenors beyond the planned disposal date of the nonregulated Midwest generation business. The mark-to-market impact of derivative contracts is recognized in GAAP earnings immediately as such derivative contracts do not qualify for hedge accounting or regulatory treatment. The economic value of generation assets is subject to fluctuations in fair value due to market price volatility of input and output commodities (e.g. coal, electricity, natural gas). Economic hedging involves both purchases and sales of those input and output commodities related to generation assets. Operations of the generation assets are accounted for under the accrual method. Management believes excluding impacts of mark-to-market changes of the derivative contracts from adjusted earnings until settlement better matches the financial impacts of the derivative contract with the portion of economic value of the underlying hedged asset. However, due to the divestiture of the nonregulated Midwest generation business as mentioned above, certain derivative positions have tenors beyond the planned disposal date of these assets. As such, management has excluded settlements of these derivative positions from adjusted diluted EPS as these realized gains and losses more closely relate to the loss on disposal of these assets. Management believes that the presentation of adjusted diluted EPS Attributable to Duke Energy Corporation provides useful information to investors, as it provides them an additional relevant comparison of Duke Energy Corporation’s performance across periods.
