EX-99.1RELEASE 2 vvc8kfinancial-jun.txt PRESS RELEASE NEWS RELEASE Vectren Corporation P.O. Box 209 Evansville, IN 47702-0209 July 25, 2001 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Vectren Corporation Reports Second Quarter Results; Dividend Unchanged Evansville, Indiana - Today, Vectren Corporation (NYSE:VVC) announced 2001 second quarter income from operations of $3.9 million, or $.06 per share, compared to $14.2 million, or $.23 per share, for the same quarter a year ago. Operating results for the current quarter were negatively impacted by significantly warmer weather this year and the impact of increased gas prices. The reported net loss for the quarter was $(17.7) million, or $(.26) per share, compared to net income of $8.3 million, or $.14 per share, for the same period a year ago. The current quarter loss reflects the impact of restructuring costs incurred in the continuing organizational alignment following the 2000 merger. The current loss also includes the extraordinary loss associated with the disposition of certain leveraged lease assets and the negative impact of market price swings as a result of marking power contracts to market under the accounting standard, FAS 133. Income from operations has been adjusted by these items. Reported net income for the six months ended June 30, 2001 was $26.7 million, or $.40 per share, compared to $30.4 million, or $.50 per share, for the same period in 2000. Income from operations for the six months ended June 30, 2001 was $43.2 million, or $.65 per share, as compared to $50.6 million, or $.83 per share a year ago. "The reported results include nonrecurring merger and integration costs, restructuring charges and an extraordinary loss on the disposition of assets," said Niel C. Ellerbrook, Vectren's Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. Mr. Ellerbrook added, "The recognition of these nonrecurring charges substantially completes our efforts to eliminate duplicate corporate and administrative programs, promote greater efficiencies in operations and business processes and realign our business units, both regulated and nonregulated in a manner that compliments our core purpose and long term growth strategy. We fully expect to begin realizing these benefits during the remainder of 2001." Specific second quarter and year to date items include: * A restructuring charge of $7.3 million net of tax and additional merger costs (accelerated depreciation) of $1.7 million net of tax, a total of $.13 per share, was reflected during the quarter as a continuation of the organization alignment following the merger. For the year, combined merger and restructuring costs total $11.2 million net of tax, or $.17 per share. * Leveraged lease assets were sold during the quarter resulting in an extraordinary loss of $7.7 million, or $.12 per share. Cash proceeds from the transaction of $46 million were used to reduce debt outstanding. -more- * The impact of the adoption of FAS 133 by the regulated wholesale power group, requiring mark to market accounting for certain power contracts, was an unfavorable $4.9 million net of tax, or $.07 per share. The impact for the year is a favorable $2.4 million net of tax, or $.04 per share. * For the quarter and year to date, warmer than normal weather negatively impacted results by $.11 per share. * Gas cost increases continue to adversely impact results due to decreased consumption, higher uncollectibles and other expenses. Results for the quarter were lower by approximately $.05 per share and, for the full year, by $.18 per share. The board of directors of Vectren today also declared a cash dividend of 25 1/2 cents per share of common stock. This is unchanged from the previous quarter. The dividend is payable September 1, 2001 to shareholders of record as of August 15, 2001. Please SEE ATTACHED unaudited schedules for additional financial information.
