18 Energy Services - Third Quarter & YTD 2013 Review and Outlook  Infrastructure Services & Energy Services – remain focus of future nonutility investments and earnings growth for Vectren  YTD loss of ($2.0) million vs. earnings of $0.9 million in 2012 • Third quarter results of $0.2 million compared to $2.6 million in 2012 • Overall, performance contracting market remains soft, though additional contracts were signed in Q3 – For example, finalized $15 million contract for Fort Rucker, Alabama to implement a federal Utility Energy Services Contract through a utility partner, Alabama Power ▪ Includes upgrades of lighting, HVAC equipment, and other equipment throughout the base • 4th quarter expected to be improved over 3rd quarter, including additional 179D tax deductions  Still committed to growing the business – both performance contracting & renewables • For example, renewables business finalized contract in Q1 2013 to develop, own and operate a landfill gas facility in Valdosta, GA • Federal government likely to rely on firms such as ESG to meet energy efficiency & renewable energy standards in its facilities - diminished governmental funds to achieve such goals • Customers’ HVAC, lighting, etc., replacement needs increase with passage of time • Projected increases in power prices expected to drive major energy efficiency projects  Earnings for Energy Services will be limited through 2014 due to approx. 18-24 month lead time for new sales professionals to deliver bottom line impact (projects in construction)


 
19 Coal Mining - Third Quarter & YTD 2013 Review  Coal Mining • 3rd quarter loss of ($2.3) million nearly flat to 2012; YTD loss of ($12.0) million vs. breakeven YTD 2012 – 3rd quarter 2013 results show continuing improvement vs. 2nd quarter loss of ($3.7) million and 1st quarter loss of ($6.0) million – Even though the scope and frequency of mine safety regulator (MSHA) inspections has significantly increased generally, citations at Prosperity dropped over 30% over the 12-month period ended 9/30/13 ▪ However, during two inspections in October, MSHA issued several “unwarrantable failure” citations to Prosperity; Prosperity is evaluating these citations and will likely challenge the basis for each citation ▪ Though not indicated at this time, should a trend of increased elevated citations persist, Prosperity could be placed on Pattern of Violation (POV) status, which would result in more frequent shutdowns of affected areas of the mine and thus increase production costs • Overall cost/ton in 3rd quarter of $43.87 improved by ~$4.50/ton compared to the 3rd quarter 2012 – Productivity improvement measures being implemented at Prosperity are working, but further cost improvements are needed to return Prosperity to profitability – Productivity is improving at Oaktown 2 as production ramp-up continues – Oaktown 1 continues to achieve very competitive costs/ton vs. other ‘room and pillar’ IL Basin mines – Increasing % of sales from the two Oaktown mines should further improve average cost/ton • Sales and pricing outlook – both moving in a positive direction, as with average cost/ton – 2013 tons sold out; expecting sales of 6.5 million tons at price of ~$43.50/ton – 6.0 million tons sold for 2014 at price of ~$44.50/ton; total projected sales of 7.3 million tons ▪ Tons sold include 0.6 million tons that are verbally agreed upon - contract is not yet signed ▪ Expected sales to Vectren’s electric utility of 2.1 million tons compared to 1.8 million in 2013 – 5.2 million tons sold for 2015 at price of ~$46/ton (including 0.6 million tons verbally agreed upon) • Better productivity & sales volumes should drive significantly improved results in 2014 & beyond


 
20 Coal Mining – Outlook for Illinois Basin (IB) Coal in 2014 and Beyond  Drivers of Expected Improvements • Scrubbers are being installed in larger, more efficient plants, increasing demand for IB coal compared to other coal basins and helping it compete against low natural gas prices. • Natural gas prices forecasted to remain above $3 level reducing likelihood of coal to gas switching in Midwest • Prices expected to firm up and increase as supply and demand become more balanced – 2014 and 2015 NYMEX quotes for Central Appalachian coal prices reflect ~7% and ~15% increases over 2013 prices. Would reasonably expect IB coal to reflect price increases as well • Vectren’s Coal Mining group is acting on changing market dynamics - IB coal is displacing coal from other regions, particularly Central Appalachia, as production continues to decline there Midwest 93% Northeast 1% Export 6% 2010 Coal Sales by Region [% of Volume] Midwest 61% Southeast 29% Northeast 10% 2013E Coal Sales by Region [% of Volume]


 
21 Vectren: Strength, Stability, Utility Stability  Constructive regulatory environments  Earnings stability driven by core utility operations  Consistent earnings growth through disciplined investments and cost controls  Growing dividends paid for 54 consecutive years Strength  Anchored by solid utility franchises  “A3/A-” rated by Moody’s & S&P  Well respected utility & nonutility competencies in infrastructure development Utility ~80-90% Nonutility ~10-20% Utility: Vectren’s Core Earnings Electric ~50% Gas ~50% 1.1 million customers, Indiana and Ohio  A management team that values the importance of financially strong, stable utility operations in delivering competitive shareholder returns

27 Utility – Elements of Consistent Earnings Growth Gas System Infrastructure Replacement & Bare Steel/Cast Iron Acceleration  Background - Pipeline Safety, Regulatory Certainty and Job Creation act of 2011 requires PHMSA to implement new regulations for maximum allowable operating pressures, to expand integrity management (IM) regulations, and to study other items that could lead to changes in the replacement rates of cast iron pipe, for example  Vectren’s Gas Infrastructure Replacement Plans • Transmission Pipeline Infrastructure Replacement - Investments to include hydrostatic testing, in-line inspection modifications (‘smart pigging’), installation of remotely-controlled valves, etc. • Distribution Pipeline Infrastructure Replacement - projects include inside meter move outs, obsolete equipment replacements, valve additions, vintage and odd pipe replacements, etc.  Vectren’s Bare Steel/Cast Iron Acceleration Plans • Currently replacing ~50 miles annually; will propose to significantly accelerate Sustainable Cost Management and Process Improvement Initiatives  Performance Management • Amended postretirement medical plans - improved access for retirees, lowered plan costs • Consolidated 29 operating centers to 13 based on efficiency gains & mobile technologies  Strategic Sourcing • Modified fleet management strategy, saving $1.4 million annually Appendix


 
28 Infrastructure Services – Estimated Backlog  General Description of Types of Customer Contracts for Infrastructure Services • Infrastructure Services operates primarily under two types of contracts – blanket contracts and fixed price contracts. Blanket contracts are ones which a customer is not contractually committed to specific volumes of services, but where we have been chosen to perform work needed by a customer in a given time frame (typically awarded on a yearly basis). Fixed price contracts are ones which a customer has contractually committed to a specific service to be performed for a specific price, whether in total for a project or on a per unit basis (e.g., per dig or per foot).  General Description of Backlog for Infrastructure Services • Backlog represents an estimate of the amount of gross revenue that we expect to realize from work to be performed in the next 12 months on existing contracts or contracts we reasonably expect to be renewed or awarded based upon recent history or discussions with customers. While there is a reasonable basis to estimate backlog, there can be no assurance as to our customers’ eventual demand for our services each year or, therefore, the accuracy of our estimate of backlog.  Backlog for Infrastructure Services estimated as follows: • For blanket contracts, estimated backlog as of 9/30/2013 is $465 million. This estimate is based upon 80% of a rolling 12-month calculation of gross revenues. An 80% multiplier was used to factor in such unknowns as weather and potential budgetary restrictions of customers. • For fixed price contracts, estimated backlog as of 9/30/2013 is $40 million. This represents the value remaining on contracts awarded, but not yet completed as of 9/30/2013. • Total estimated backlog as of 9/30/2013: $505 million Appendix

34 Use of Non-GAAP Performance Measures and Per Share Measures Results Excluding ProLiance Management uses consolidated net income, consolidated earnings per share, and Nonutility Group net income, excluding ProLiance results, to evaluate its results. Management believes analyzing underlying and ongoing business trends is aided by the removal of the ProLiance results and the rationale for using such non-GAAP measures is that, through the disposition by ProLiance of certain ProLiance Energy assets, the Company has now exited the gas marketing business. A material limitation associated with the use of these measures is that the measures that exclude ProLiance results do not include all costs recognized in accordance with GAAP. Management compensates for this limitation by prominently displaying a reconciliation of these non-GAAP performance measures to their closest GAAP performance measures. This display also provides financial statement users the option of analyzing results as management does or by analyzing GAAP results. Contribution to Vectren's basic EPS Per share earnings contributions of the Utility Group, Nonutility Group excluding ProLiance results, and Corporate and Other are presented and are non-GAAP measures. Such per share amounts are based on the earnings contribution of each group included in Vectren’s consolidated results divided by Vectren’s basic average shares outstanding during the period. The earnings per share of the groups do not represent a direct legal interest in the assets and liabilities allocated to the groups, but rather represent a direct equity interest in Vectren Corporation's assets and liabilities as a whole. These non-GAAP measures are used by management to evaluate the performance of individual businesses. In addition, other items giving rise to period over period variances, such as weather, may be presented on an after tax and per share basis. These amounts are calculated at a statutory tax rate divided by Vectren’s basic average shares outstanding during the period. Accordingly, management believes these measures are useful to investors in understanding each business’ contribution to consolidated earnings per share and in analyzing consolidated period to period changes and the potential for earnings per share contributions in future periods.
