Avista Corp. Reports Improved Financial Results for Fiscal Year and the Fourth Quarter 2009

Board of Directors Increases Common Stock Dividend by 19 Percent

SPOKANE, Wash. – Feb. 18, 2010, 4:05 a.m. PT: Avista Corp. (NYSE: AVA) today reported net income attributable to Avista Corp. of $87.1 million, or $1.58 per diluted share, for the year ended Dec. 31, 2009, compared to $73.6 million, or $1.36 per diluted share, for the year ended Dec. 31, 2008. For the fourth quarter of 2009 net income attributable to Avista Corp. was $22.1 million, or $0.40 per diluted share, compared to $17.5 million or $0.32 per diluted share for the fourth quarter of 2008.

“Overall, we are pleased with our results for 2009, which showed considerable improvement over 2008,” said Avista Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer Scott L. Morris.

“We are also pleased to announce that on Feb. 12, 2010, our board of directors increased the common stock dividend to $0.25 per diluted share. The dividend increase is indicative of the board’s confidence in our continued progress toward achieving our goals, and it provides a demonstration of that confidence to our shareholders.

“In 2009, we made progress in the recovery of our costs and capital investments in our generation, transmission and distribution infrastructure. We reset general rates in all of our jurisdictions since the middle of 2009.

“Although we were disappointed with the Washington Commission’s decision in our general rate case, which authorized a rate increase effective Jan. 1, 2010, the order provides additional guidance for procedures and documentation that we believe will facilitate improved cost recovery in the future.

“Even in these challenging economic times this past year, the number of retail customers grew with net additions of over 2,000 natural gas customers and 1,800 electric customers.

“Our power supply costs were less than the amount included in retail rates in Washington primarily due to lower wholesale electric and natural gas fuel prices. However, this was partially offset by below normal hydroelectric generation and an extended outage at the Colstrip Plant in Montana. The net result was a benefit under the Energy Recovery Mechanism.

“Also, contributing to our improved results for 2009 as compared to 2008 were lower interest costs, resulting from financing transactions and decisions we made in 2008 and 2009.

“We continued to strengthen our financial position with the September 2009 issuance of $250 million of long-term debt with an interest rate of 5.125 percent and the reduction in deferred power cost balances. We have also been able to fund a significant portion of our capital expenditures with cash flows from operations.

“In November, we lowered natural gas rates for customers in all jurisdictions, ranging from 22 to 26 percent, because of a decline in wholesale prices. In Washington and Idaho, this was the third reduction in natural gas rates in 2009. These Purchased Gas Adjustments are designed to pass through changes in natural gas costs to our customers with no change in gross margin or net income.

“In addition, the Washington Commission approved our request to lower electric rates for our Washington customers by 7 percent effective Feb. 12, 2010, through the elimination of the Energy Recovery Mechanism surcharge. The surcharge was eliminated because the previous balance of Washington deferred power costs has been substantially recovered. The elimination of the surcharge will not change gross margin or net income.

“Lastly, we are confirming our 2010 earnings guidance, and I believe we are well positioned to continue our long-term earnings growth,” Morris said.

Fourth Quarter and Fiscal Year 2009 Highlights

Avista Utilities: Avista Utilities contributed net income of $86.7 million, or $1.58 per diluted share, for 2009 compared to $70.0 million or $1.30 per diluted share, for 2008. For the fourth quarter of 2009, Avista Utilities contributed net income of $23.5 million, or $0.43 per diluted share, compared to $18.2 million or $0.33 per diluted share, for the fourth quarter of 2008. The increase in our annual and quarterly utility net income was due in part to an increase in gross margin (operating revenues less resource costs). The increase in gross margin was primarily due to the implementation of the general rate increases in Washington and Idaho, which more closely reflect the costs of providing service to customers.

The improvement in annual results also reflects a decrease in interest expense, net of capitalized interest, of $8.5 million that was achieved by refinancing maturing higher cost debt with lower cost long-term debt. Lower interest rates on borrowings under our $320 million committed line of credit also contributed to the decrease in interest expense.

In addition, results for 2009 were positively impacted by adjustments related to Internal Revenue Service audits and adjustments for the 2008 filed federal tax return. In total, these adjustments (recorded in the third quarter of 2009) had a favorable impact on recorded income tax expense of $3.2 million.

These positive impacts on net income were partially offset by an increase in other operating expenses, depreciation and amortization, and taxes other than income taxes.

We had a benefit of $3.0 million under the Washington Energy Recovery Mechanism (ERM) for fiscal year 2009 compared to an expense of $7.4 million for 2008, which increased electric gross margin and income from operations by $10.4 million in 2009 as compared to 2008. The ERM is an accounting method used to track certain differences between actual net power supply costs and the amount included in base retail rates for our Washington customers.

We had a benefit of $9.1 million under the ERM in the fourth quarter of 2009 compared to an expense of $0.1 million in the fourth quarter of 2008, which increased electric gross margin and income from operations by $9.2 million in the fourth quarter of 2009 as compared to the fourth quarter of 2008.

Avista Utilities’ operating revenues decreased $177.5 million for 2009 as compared to 2008 due to decreased natural gas revenues of $179.8 million, partially offset by increased electric revenues of $2.3 million. The decrease in natural gas revenues was primarily the result of decreased wholesale revenues of $138.1 million (due to decreased prices, offset by increased volumes) and retail natural gas revenues of $44.5 million (primarily due to decreased prices and partially due to decreased volumes). These decreases were partially offset by an increase in other natural gas revenues.

The increase in electric revenues was primarily due to increased retail revenues of $68.8 million (primarily due to the Washington general rate increase implemented on Jan. 1, 2009 and the Idaho general rate increases implemented on Oct. 1, 2008 and Aug. 1, 2009), partially offset by decreased wholesale revenues of $53.3 million (due to a decrease in prices, partially offset by an increase in volumes) and sales of fuel of $11.7 million.

Resource costs for Avista Utilities decreased $232.5 million for 2009 as compared to 2008 due to decreases in natural gas resource costs of $186.1 million and electric resource costs of $46.3 million. The decrease in natural gas

resource costs primarily reflects a decrease in the price of natural gas purchases. The decrease in electric resource costs was primarily due to a decrease in fuel costs (due to a decrease in thermal generation and natural gas fuel prices).

Utility other operating expenses increased $23.4 million for 2009 as compared to 2008 primarily due to an increase of $8.9 million in electric generation operating and maintenance expenses, an increase of $4.3 million in natural gas distribution and service costs, as well as a $10.7 million increase in pension and other benefit costs.

Utility depreciation and amortization increased $5.9 million for 2009 as compared to 2008 primarily due to additions to utility plant.

Utility taxes other than income taxes increased $4.5 million for 2009 as compared to 2008 due to increased revenue-related taxes and increased property taxes.

Advantage IQ: Advantage IQ’s net income attributable to Avista Corporation was $5.3 million, or $0.09 per diluted share, for 2009 compared to $6.1 million or $0.11 per diluted share, for 2008. For the fourth quarter of 2009, Advantage IQ’s net income attributable to Avista Corporation was $1.5 million, or $0.03 per diluted share, compared to $1.4 million or $0.03 per diluted share, for the fourth quarter of 2008. The decrease for 2009 as compared to 2008 was primarily due to lower short-term interest rates (which decreases interest revenue on funds held for customers), the decrease in our ownership percentage in the business in connection with the acquisition of Cadence Network effective July 2, 2008 and increased amortization of intangible assets (related to the Cadence Network and Ecos Consulting acquisitions). During 2009, we experienced slower internal growth at Advantage IQ than was originally expected, as some of its clients are experiencing bankruptcies and store closures in these difficult economic times. Additionally, interest revenue was lower in 2009 due to the historic low short-term interest rate environment that we are experiencing, which is expected to continue in 2010. The decrease in interest revenue was offset by other customer billing services, which increased operating revenues for 2009 as compared to 2008.

Advantage IQ’s revenues for 2009 increased 31 percent as compared to 2008 and totaled $77.3 million. The increase in revenues was primarily due to the third quarter 2008 acquisition of Cadence Network and the third quarter 2009 acquisition of Ecos Consulting, as well as other customer billing services. These increases in operating revenues were partially offset by a decrease in interest revenue on funds held for customers (due to a decrease in interest rates).

In 2009, Advantage IQ managed bills totaling $17.4 billion, an increase of $0.7 billion, or 4 percent, as compared to 2008. The acquisition of Cadence Network added $1.7 billion in managed bills for 2009 as compared to 2008. Advantage IQ had a 6 percent increase in the number of accounts managed at December 31, 2009 as compared to December 31, 2008.

Other Businesses: For 2009, the net loss attributable to Avista Corporation was $0.09 per diluted share for the other businesses, compared to a net loss of $0.05 for 2008. For the fourth quarter of 2009, the net loss attributable to Avista Corporation was $0.06 per diluted share for the other businesses, compared to a net loss of $0.04 for the fourth quarter of 2008. Contributing to the net loss attributable to Avista Corporation for the full year and fourth quarter of 2009 was a $3.0 million impairment of a commercial building. Losses on long-term venture fund investments were $0.8 million in 2009 compared to $1.4 million in 2008.

Summary Results: Avista Corp.’s results for the fourth quarter of 2009 and the year ended Dec. 31, 2009, as compared to the respective periods of 2008 are presented in the table below:

Liquidity and Capital Resources: In November 2009, we entered into a new committed line of credit in the total amount of $75 million with an expiration date of April 5, 2011. The new committed line of credit replaced a $200 million committed line of credit that expired in November 2009. We reduced the facility based on our forecasted liquidity needs.

As of Dec.31, 2009, we had a combined $365 million of available liquidity under our $320 million committed line of credit, our $75 million committed line of credit and our $85 million revolving accounts receivable sales facility.

In December 2009, we purchased $17 million of our Pollution Control Bonds. We are planning, subject to market conditions, to refund these bonds in 2010 along with $66.7 million of our Pollution Control Bonds we purchased in December 2008.

In December 2009, we entered into an amended and restated sales agency agreement with a sales agent to issue up to 1.25 million shares of our common stock from time to time.

We are planning to issue up to $45 million of common stock in 2010 in order to finance a portion of our capital expenditures and maturing long-term debt, while maintaining our capital structure at an appropriate level for our business.

Utility capital expenditures were $205 million for 2009. We are expecting capital expenditures of $210 million for 2010, excluding costs for projects associated with stimulus funding. Actual capital expenditures may vary from our estimates due to factors such as changes in business conditions, construction schedules and environmental requirements.

Board of Directors Increases Common Stock Dividend by 19 Percent

On Feb. 12, 2010, Avista Corp.’s board of directors declared a quarterly dividend of $0.25 per share on the company’s common stock, an increase of $0.04 per share or 19 percent. The common stock dividend is payable March 15, 2010, to shareholders of record at the close of business on Feb. 25, 2010.

The declaration of dividends is at the sole discretion of the board of directors. The board considers the level of dividends on a regular basis, taking into account numerous factors, including financial results, business strategies, and economic and competitive conditions.

Earnings Guidance and Outlook

Avista is confirming its 2010 guidance for consolidated earnings to be in the range of $1.55 to $1.75 per diluted share. We expect Avista Utilities to contribute in the range of $1.45 to $1.60 per diluted share for 2010. Our range for Avista Utilities encompasses a certain level of variability in power supply costs, including the variability of applying the ERM in Washington and Power Cost Adjustment mechanism in Idaho. Our outlook for Avista Utilities also assumes, among other variables, normal precipitation, temperatures and hydroelectric generation for the remainder of the year. We expect Advantage IQ to contribute in the range of $0.10 to $0.13 per diluted share and the other businesses to be between break-even and a contribution of $0.02 per diluted share.

Although the recent rate adjustments in Washington, Idaho and Oregon provide progress in the recovery of utility costs, we will continue to experience regulatory

lag in 2010 due to a delay in the recovery of incremental capital investment and increased operating expenses. We will actively manage our capital investment and operating costs, while continuing to provide safe and reliable service for our customers. Avista plans to file general rate cases in Washington and Idaho by the end of the first quarter and we expect to file a general rate case in Oregon by the end of the second quarter to more closely align earned returns with those authorized.
