Puget Energy Reports 2004 Financial Results
Core utility earnings on target; decision to monetize InfrastruX

 
Bellevue, Wash. (February 9, 2005) — Puget Energy (NYSE: PSD) today reported income for common stock of $55 million, or $0.55 per diluted share, for the year ended 2004, compared with $116.2 million, or $1.22 per diluted share, in 2003.
 
Puget Energy's full year 2004 results reflect a non-cash impairment charge of $76.6 million after-tax, or $0.77 per share, related to InfrastruX Group, an unregulated utility construction services subsidiary, and a previously reported Puget Sound Energy (PSE) regulatory disallowance of $28.2 million after-tax, or $0.28 per share.
 
Excluding the InfrastruX impairment charge and the PSE regulatory disallowance, Puget Energy's full year 2004 financial performance improved compared to 2003 as a result of higher electric sales margins, lower interest expense and preferred stock dividends, and higher InfrastruX earnings.
 
PSE, Puget Energy's core regulated utility business, reported full year 2004 earnings of $126.2 million, or $1.26 per share, reflecting a regulatory disallowance of $28.2 million after-tax, or $0.28 per share. In 2003, PSE's full year earnings were $114.7 million, or $1.20 per share.
 
"I'm very proud of our utility Puget Sound Energy’s performance this year," said Stephen P. Reynolds, Puget Energy President and CEO. "This is our core business. We reached several critical milestones in our drive to meet the growing energy needs of our dynamic service territory. We put into service new generation resources, enhanced our gas and electric distribution infrastructure and connected our 1-millionth electric customer.
 
"We’re executing well on our commitment to strengthen and diversify PSE's generation assets. The anticipated Hopkins Ridge and Wild Horse wind projects will broaden our resource portfolio. These environmentally friendly sources of energy will help protect our customers from volatile wholesale energy markets."
 
In early 2005, Puget Energy completed a strategic review of InfrastruX and determined to monetize its investment in this business. "Ownership of InfrastruX no longer fits our strategy given the resource needs of our core utility business," said Reynolds. "We are taking decisive action concerning InfrastruX for the longer term interest of Puget Energy, its customers and stakeholders."

PSE Full Year 2004 Highlights:
PSE’s income increased by $11.5 million, or $0.06 per share, for the year ended 2004 to $126.2 million, or $1.26 per share, from $114.7 million, or $1.20 per share, for the year ended 2003. Summarized below are items that impacted PSE’s full year results in 2004 as compared with 2003. All items discussed are pre-tax unless otherwise noted and all share amounts are presented on a diluted basis.

·   PSE’s electric margin increased by $5.9 million, or $0.04 per share. PSE’s electric margin was favorably impacted by an electric rate tariff increase effective May 24, 2004 primarily as a result of cost recovery associated with the Frederickson 1 combined cycle natural gas facility that was placed into service on April 30, 2004. Electric margin was also bolstered by a 1.5 percent increase in retail sales volumes, primarily driven by customer growth of 2.2 percent. PSE's electric customers totaled approximately 1,001,200 at year-end 2004. PSE’s electric margin represents electric sales to retail and transportation customers less the cost of generating and purchasing electricity.

·   PSE’s gas margin decreased by $1.8 million, or $0.01 per share, due to lower sales volumes resulting from slightly warmer temperatures and higher natural gas prices. Natural gas sales volumes declined by 1.5 percent in spite of a 3.7 percent increase in the number of gas customers to nearly 672,000 at year-end 2004. Gas prices at the closest regional delivery point, the Sumas hub, increased from 2003 average levels of $4.66 to $5.26 per dekatherm. Higher natural gas prices are passed on to customers through PSE’s Purchased Gas Adjustment mechanism (PGA). PSE’s gas margin represents natural gas sales to retail and transportation customers less the cost of purchasing and transporting natural gas.

·   PSE’s depreciation and amortization expense increased by $8.5 million, or $0.06 per share, as a result of utility plant additions, including an $81 million investment in the Frederickson 1 electric generating facility in 2004.

·   PSE’s other income increased by $2.8 million after-tax, or $0.03 per share. Other income in 2003 was adversely impacted by a write-down of $4 million after-tax, or $0.04 per share, in the carrying value of a non-utility venture capital investment.

·   PSE’s interest expense declined by $13 million and preferred stock dividends declined by $5.2 million. Together, this represents an after-tax savings of $14 million, or $0.14 per share, and reflects the redemption of high cost debt and preferred stock.

·   The dilutive impact of an increase in Puget Energy common shares outstanding reduced per share earnings by $0.06. Puget Energy average common shares outstanding increased to approximately 100 million for the year ended 2004 as compared with approximately 95 million shares for 2003. During the fourth quarter 2003, Puget Energy sold approximately $100 million of common stock. The net proceeds were invested in PSE and were used to redeem approximately $94 million of high-cost preferred stock.

·   PSE’s operating income tax expense increased by $6.2 million primarily as a result of the absence of $9.3 million of non-recurring federal income tax benefits reflected in 2003 results, offset by a non-recurring federal income tax benefit of $1.4 million in 2004 related to a 2001 tax audit.
 
InfrastruX Group (InfrastruX) Full Year 2004 Highlights:
InfrastruX, the unregulated utility construction services subsidiary of Puget Energy, reported a loss, net of minority interest, of $70.6 million, or $0.70 per share, for the full year 2004, reflecting a $76.6 million, or $0.77 per share, after-tax non-cash impairment charge. Excluding the impairment charge, InfrastruX's full year 2004 earnings, net of minority interest, were $5.9 million, or $0.06 per share, compared with $1.6 million, or $0.02 per share, in 2003.
The impairment charge reflects Puget Energy's revised expectations for this business due to ongoing challenges in the utility construction services sector. Puget Energy's $110 million investment in InfrastruX was reduced by $76.6 million.

    Puget Energy’s fourth-quarter 2004 loss for common stock was $15.7 million or $0.16 per share, compared with income of $43.0 million, or $0.44 per share, for the same period in 2003. These results reflect a $76.6 million, or $0.77 per share, after-tax non-cash impairment charge taken by InfrastruX in the fourth quarter 2004.


PSE Fourth-Quarter 2004 Highlights:
PSE’s fourth quarter earnings in 2004 were $59.2 million, or $0.59 per share, compared with $42.3 million, or $0.44 per share, in the fourth quarter of 2003. Summarized below are items that impacted PSE’s fourth quarter results in 2004 as compared with 2003. All items are pre-tax unless otherwise noted and all share amounts are presented on a diluted basis.
·   PSE’s electric margin increased by $12.2 million, or $0.08 per share, despite a disallowance of $2.8 million related to the May 2004 Tenaska regulatory order as described in further detail in Puget Energy's August 5, 2004 Form 8-K and June 30, 2004 Form 10-Q filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). The improved margin is primarily attributable to an electric rate tariff increase effective May 24, 2004 related the Frederickson 1 plant acquisition and the absence of excess power costs during the quarter.

·   PSE’s gas margin decreased by $3.5 million, or $0.02 per share, due to slightly warmer temperatures and lower customer usage in response to higher natural gas prices.

·   PSE’s depreciation and amortization expense increased by $2.7 million or $0.02 per share as a result of utility plant additions. This trend is likely to accelerate in 2005 and beyond as PSE invests in its energy delivery and generation infrastructure to support service territory growth.

·   PSE’s other income increased by $6.4 million after-tax, or $0.06 per share. Other income in 2003 was adversely impacted by a write-down of $4 million after-tax in the carrying value of a non-utility venture capital investment in the fourth quarter of 2003.

·   PSE’s interest expense in the fourth quarter 2004 declined by $2.6 million, contributing $0.02 per share.

·   The dilutive impact of an increase in Puget Energy common shares outstanding reduced per share earnings by $0.01. Puget Energy's common shares outstanding increased to approximately 100 million shares, as compared with approximately 97 million shares for the same period in 2003.

·   PSE’s common equity ratio was 40.1 percent at December 31, 2004 compared with 40 percent at December 31, 2003. PSE is well ahead of the July 2002 rate settlement requirement to rebuild its common equity ratio to 39 percent by the end of 2005.

·   PSE's effective income tax rate on operating income was 40.5 percent as compared with 43.1 percent in the fourth quarter of 2003 before a non-recurring federal income tax benefit of $1.4 million recorded in the fourth quarter 2004, contributing $0.05 per share.

InfrastruX Group (InfrastruX) Fourth-Quarter 2004 Highlights:
InfrastruX’s fourth quarter 2004 revenues reached $102.4 million, a 20 percent increase from 2003 levels, resulting in income of $1.9 million, or $0.02 per share, prior to reflecting a $76.6 million, or $0.77 per share, after-tax non-cash impairment charge. In the fourth quarter 2003, InfrastruX's income was $0.7 million, or $0.01 per share.

2005 Outlook:
Puget Energy will provide 2005 earnings guidance after the Washington Utilities and Transportation Commission (WUTC) rules on PSE’s pending electric and natural gas general-rate increase requests, anticipated to be issued no later than March 5, 2005. PSE has requested increases of 7.1 percent, or $99.8 million annually, and 6.3 percent, or $46.2 million annually, for electric and natural gas customers, respectively.
