RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

 Executive Summary of Results of Operations

The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the unaudited condensed financial statements and notes thereto and the quarterly reports filed on Form 10-Q of both Vectren and Vectren Utility Holdings, Inc.

Earnings for the third quarter of 2005 were $18.1 million compared to $16.7 million for the same quarter last year. The $1.4 million increase was primarily due to the recovery of NOx related environmental expenditures and weather, offset by lower wholesale power marketing margins. Earnings were $41.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2005, compared to $34.0 million in the prior year. The $7.7 million increase was primarily due to the recovery of NOx related environmental expenditures, increased margins from wholesale power marketing activities, higher gas base rates and weather, partially offset by higher operating and depreciation expense. The Company estimates that weather favorably impacted third quarter earnings by $2.9 million after tax and year-to-date earnings by $1.8 million after tax, compared to last year. As compared to normal, weather decreased earnings an estimated $0.1 million after tax in the quarter and $0.8 million after tax in the year-to date period.

The Company generates revenue primarily from the delivery of natural gas and electric service to its customers. The primary source of cash flow results from the collection of customer bills and the payment for goods and services procured for the delivery of gas and electric services. The results are impacted by weather patterns in its service territory and general economic conditions both in its service territory as well as nationally.

Vectren has in place a disclosure committee that consists of senior management as well as financial management. The committee is actively involved in the preparation and review of SIGECO’s parent companies’ SEC filings.

Significant Fluctuations

Margin

Margin generated from the sale of natural gas and electricity to residential and commercial customers is seasonal and impacted by weather patterns in the Company’s service territory. Margin generated from sales to large customers (generally industrial, other contract, and firm wholesale customers) is impacted primarily by overall economic conditions. Margin is also impacted by the collection of state mandated taxes, which fluctuate with gas costs, and is also impacted by some level of price sensitivity in volumes sold. Electric generating asset optimization activities are primarily affected by market conditions, the level of excess generating capacity, and electric transmission availability. Following is a discussion and analysis of margin generated from regulated utility operations.

Retail & Firm Wholesale Margin
Electric retail and firm wholesale utility margins were $77.3 million and $194.9 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2005. This represents an increase over the prior year periods of $10.4 million and $13.3 million, respectively. The recovery of pollution control related investments and associated operating expenses and related depreciation increased margins $5.4 million quarter over quarter and $11.5 million for the nine month period. Cooling weather for the quarter and nine months ended was 14% and 7% warmer than normal, respectively. Cooling weather, compared to last year, was 50% and 19% warmer for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2005, respectively. The estimated increase in margins due to weather was $5.0 million and $3.2 million for the three and nine month periods, respectively, compared to the prior year. Retail residential and commercial volumes sold increased 15 percent during the quarter and 3 percent for the nine month period. Industrial volumes sold increased 5 percent during the quarter and 2 percent for the nine month period. During the nine months ended September 30, 2005, volumes sold to residential, commercial, and industrial customers were 4,738.4 GWh compared to 4,596.1 GWh in 2004.

Margin from Asset Optimization Activities
Periodically, generation capacity is in excess of that needed to serve native load and firm wholesale customers. The Company markets this unutilized capacity to optimize the return on its owned generation assets. Substantially all of the margin from these activities is generated from contracts that are integrated with portfolio requirements around power supply and delivery and are short-term purchase and sale transactions that expose the Company to limited market risk.

Following is a reconciliation of asset optimization activity:

For the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2005, net asset optimization margins were $3.3 million and $15.1 million, which represents a decrease for the quarter of $1.0 million and a year-to-date increase of $5.5 million, as compared to 2004. Increased retail load experienced during the three months ended September 30, 2005, reduced available wholesale capacity. The increase in year-to-date margin results primarily from an increase in available capacity and mark to market gains. The availability of excess capacity was reduced in 2004 by scheduled outages of owned generation related to the installation of environmental compliance equipment.

Gas utility margins were $6.1 million and $26.3 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2005. Gas utility margin in the third quarter, a non-heating base load usage quarter, was generally flat year over year while year-to-date margin increased $4.6 million or 17%, compared to last year. The year-to-date increase was primarily due to higher base rates and lower unaccounted for gas. Gas sold and transported volumes decreased slightly in the nine months ended September 30, 2005, compared to the prior year. The average cost per dekatherm of gas purchased for the nine months ended September 30, 2005, was $7.19 compared to $6.09 in 2004.

Operating Expenses

Other operating
For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2005, other operating expenses increased $3.3 million and $3.7 million, respectively, compared to 2004. The increases are primarily attributable to compensation and benefit costs increases, including allocated performance and share-based compensation, and amortization of rate case expenses. For the quarter, NOx-related operating expenses increased $0.3 million and, for the nine months, NOx related operating expenses decreased $0.3 million compared to last year.
 
Depreciation & amortization
For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2005, depreciation and amortization expenses increased $1.8 million, compared to 2004. In addition to depreciation on additions to plant in service, the increase was primarily due to incremental depreciation expense of $1.5 million for the quarter and $4.5 million for the year to date period, respectively, associated with environmental compliance equipment additions. Year-to-date 2004 also includes $3.6 million of additional depreciation resulting from a true-up of demand side management amortization to existing regulatory orders.

Taxes other than income taxes
For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2004, taxes other than income taxes increased $0.5 million and $0.6 million, respectively, compared to 2003. The quarter and year-to-date increases are primarily attributable to higher utility receipts taxes on higher electric sales, compared to the prior year.

Income Taxes
For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2005, Federal and state income taxes increased $1.3 million and $6.3 million, respectively, primarily due to higher pre-tax income.

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2005, total other income decreased $0.2 million and $0.9 million, respectively, compared to 2004, primarily due to lower levels of AFUDC. AFUDC is lower due to the higher levels of capital expenditures during 2004 compared to 2005.

Interest Expense
Interest expense for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2005 increased $1.1 million and $2.3 million, respectively, compared to 2004, primarily due to higher outstanding debt balances.
