1. BUSINESS AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Description of Business

References in this report to “we,” “our,” “us” and “the company” are to Oncor and/or its subsidiaries. See “Glossary” for definition of terms and abbreviations.

We are a regulated electricity transmission and distribution company primarily engaged in providing delivery services to REPs that sell power in the north-central, eastern, western and panhandle regions of Texas. We are a direct, majority-owned subsidiary of Oncor Holdings, which is indirectly wholly owned by Sempra. Oncor Holdings owns 80.25% of our membership interests and Texas Transmission owns 19.75% of our membership interests. We are managed as an integrated business; consequently, there are no separate reportable business segments.

Our consolidated financial statements include the results of our wholly-owned indirect subsidiary NTU, which is a regulated utility that provides electricity transmission delivery service in the north-central, western and panhandle regions of Texas. We acquired NTU as part of the InfraREIT Acquisition that closed on May 16, 2019.

Various “ring-fencing” measures have been taken to enhance our credit quality and the separateness between the Oncor Ring-Fenced Entities, Sempra and its affiliates (other than the Oncor Ring-Fenced Entities), and any other entities with a direct or indirect ownership interest in Oncor or Oncor Holdings. These measures serve to mitigate the Oncor Ring-Fenced Entities’ credit exposure to Sempra and its affiliates and any other direct or indirect owners of Oncor and Oncor Holdings, and to reduce the risk that the assets and liabilities of Oncor Ring-Fenced Entities would be substantively consolidated with the assets and liabilities of any Sempra entity or any other direct or indirect owners of Oncor and Oncor Holdings in connection with a bankruptcy of any such entities. Such measures include, among other things: the 19.75% equity interest held by Texas Transmission; maintenance of separate books and records for the Oncor Ring-Fenced Entities; and our board of directors being comprised of a majority of directors who meet certain independent/disinterested director standards. As a result, none of the assets of the Oncor Ring-Fenced Entities are available to satisfy the debt or obligations of any Sempra entity or any other direct or indirect owner of Oncor or Oncor Holdings. The assets and liabilities of the Oncor Ring-Fenced Entities are separate and distinct from those of any Sempra entities and any other direct or indirect owner of Oncor or Oncor Holdings. We do not bear any liability for debt or contractual obligations of Sempra and its affiliates or any other direct or indirect owner of Oncor or Oncor Holdings, and vice versa. Accordingly, our operations are conducted, and our cash flows are managed, independently from Sempra and its affiliates and any other direct or indirect owner of Oncor or Oncor Holdings.

Basis of Presentation

These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and related notes included in the 2018 Form 10-K. In the opinion of Oncor management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) necessary for a fair presentation of the results of operations and financial position have been made. We have evaluated all subsequent events through the date the financial statements were issued. All appropriate intercompany items and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The results of operations for an interim period may not give a true indication of results for a full year due to seasonality (see Note 13 to Financial Statements in our 2018 Form 10-K for additional information regarding quarterly results of operations). Our consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with GAAP governing rate-regulated operations. All dollar amounts in the financial statements and tables in the notes are stated in millions of U.S. dollars unless otherwise indicated.

Use of Estimates

Preparation of our financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions about future

events that affect the reporting of assets and liabilities at the balance sheet dates and the reported amounts of revenue and expense, including fair value measurements. In the event estimates and/or assumptions prove to be different from actual amounts, adjustments are made in subsequent periods to reflect more current information. No material adjustments were made to previous estimates or assumptions during the current period.

Goodwill

We discuss goodwill in Note 1 to Financial Statements in our 2018 Form 10-K. The increase in goodwill from $4,064 million at December 31, 2018 to $4,751 million at June 30, 2019 is due to the InfraREIT Acquisition. See Note 11 for more information on the InfraREIT Acquisition.

Changes in Accounting Standards

Topic 842, “Leases” – In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02 which created FASB Topic 842, Leases (Topic 842). Topic 842 amends previous GAAP to require the balance sheet recognition of substantially all lease assets and liabilities, including operating leases. Operating lease liabilities are not classified as debt for GAAP purposes under Topic 842 and are not treated as debt for our regulatory purposes. All of Oncor’s existing leases meet the definition of an operating lease. Under the new rules, the recognition of any finance leases (previously known as capital leases) on the balance sheet are classified as debt for both GAAP and regulatory capital structure purposes (see Note 7 for details) similar to the previous capital lease treatment.

We adopted Topic 842 on January 1, 2019, using the optional transition method to apply the new guidance prospectively and not restate comparative periods. We elected the package of practical expedients that permits us to not reassess (a) whether a contract is or contains a lease, (b) lease classification or (c) determination of initial direct costs, which allows us to carry forward accounting conclusions under previous GAAP on contracts that commenced prior to adoption of the lease standard. We also elected the land easement practical expedient, which allows us to continue to account for pre-existing land easements under our accounting policy that existed before adoption of the lease standard. We did not elect the practical expedient to use hindsight in making judgments when determining the lease term.

The adoption of Topic 842 affects our balance sheet, as our contracts for office space, service centers and fleet vehicles are operating leases. The following table shows the increases on our balance sheet at January 1, 2019 from the initial adoption of Topic 842.


	At January 1, 2019
Operating Leases:
ROU assets:
Operating lease ROU and other assets	$	82

Lease liabilities:
Other current liabilities	$	26
Employee benefit, operating lease and other obligations		56
Total operating lease liabilities	$	82

Topic 220, “Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income” amended by ASU 2018-02, “Reclassification of Certain Tax Effects from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income” – In February 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-02, an amendment to Topic 220. Under ASU 2018-02, an entity is required to provide certain disclosures regarding stranded tax effects, including its accounting policy related to releasing the income tax effects from accumulated other comprehensive income (AOCI). We elected to reclassify stranded tax effects resulting from the TCJA from AOCI to capital accounts. Our stranded tax effects in AOCI, which are related to previous interest rate cash flow hedges, were $4 million and increased our capital account upon reclassification. We adopted the standard on a prospective basis January 1, 2019.

2. REGULATORY MATTERS

Regulatory Assets and Liabilities

Recognition of regulatory assets and liabilities and the periods over which they are to be recovered or refunded through rate regulation reflect the decisions of the PUCT.

InfraREIT Acquisition Approval (PUCT Docket No. 48929)

On May 9, 2019, the PUCT issued a final order in Docket No. 48929 approving the transactions contemplated by the InfraREIT Acquisition, including the SDTS-SU Asset Exchange, and the Sempra-Sharyland Transaction. For more information on these transactions, see Note 11.

Regulatory Status of the TCJA

The excess deferred tax related balances above are primarily the result of the TCJA corporate federal income tax rate reduction from 35% to 21%. These regulatory liabilities reflect our obligation, as required by PUCT order in Docket No. 46957, to refund to utility customers any excess deferred tax related balances created by the reduction in the corporate federal income tax rate through reductions in our tariffs.

Docket No. 48325

In 2018, we made filings to incorporate the impacts of the TCJA into our tariffs, including the reduction in the corporate income tax rate from 35% to 21% and amortization of excess deferred federal income taxes. In the filings, we proposed a total net decrease in the revenue requirement used to set transmission and distribution rates of approximately $181 million annually as compared to the revenue requirement approved in Oncor’s most recent rate review, PUCT Docket No. 46957. In September 2018, we reached an unopposed stipulation regarding an overall settlement of the TCJA impacts. The settlement included, on an annual basis, $144 million related to the reduction of income tax expense currently in rates and $75 million related to amortization of excess deferred federal income taxes.

The settlement rates were implemented on an interim basis during 2018 and were approved by the PUCT on April 4, 2019. These rates include the refund of the unprotected portion of excess deferred federal income taxes over a ten-year period and the protected portion over the lives of the related assets.

Docket No. 49160

During 2018, interim TCOS rates included refunds of excess deferred federal income taxes that were lower than the amount approved by the PUCT. We proposed refunding the related $9 million regulatory liability balance at March 31, 2019 over a one-month period as part of our Docket No. 49160 interim TCOS update filed in January 2019. This TCOS filing was approved by the PUCT on April 26, 2019 and a total refund of $9 million was made in April and May of 2019.

DCRF (PUCT Docket No. 49427)

On April 8, 2019, we filed with the PUCT, as well as with cities with original jurisdiction over our rates, an application for approval of an updated DCRF. The DCRF allows us to recover, primarily through our tariff for retail delivery service, certain costs related to our distribution investments. In our DCRF application, we requested a $29 million increase in annual distribution revenues related to 2018 distribution investments. On May 30, 2019, a stipulated settlement agreement among the parties to the proceeding was reached that included a $25 million increase in annual distribution revenues, and, on June 10, 2019, interim rates based on the stipulated settlement agreement were authorized to begin on September 1, 2019. The stipulated settlement agreement and interim rates are pending final PUCT approval.

AMS Final Reconciliation (PUCT Docket No. 49721)

On July 9, 2019, we filed a request with the PUCT for a final reconciliation of our AMS costs. Effective with the implementation of rates pursuant to the Docket No. 46957 rate review, we ceased recovering AMS charges through a surcharge on November 26, 2017, and AMS costs are now being recovered through base rates. We made the following requests in our AMS reconciliation filing:

a reconciliation of all costs incurred with the $87 million of revenues collected during the final period of the AMS surcharge from January 1, 2017 to November 26, 2017,

a final PUCT determination of the net operating cost savings of $16 million from the final period of our AMS deployment that were used to reduce the amount of costs that were ultimately recovered through our AMS surcharge,

authorization to add the under-recovery of the 2017 AMS costs from this reconciliation proceeding of $6 million to the existing AMS regulatory asset currently being recovered through base rates, and

authorization to establish a regulatory asset to capture the costs associated with this reconciliation proceeding (if approved, Oncor would seek recovery of that regulatory asset in a future Oncor rate case).

We cannot predict the outcome of the proceeding at this time.

3. REVENUES

General

Our revenue is billed monthly under tariffs approved by the PUCT and the majority of revenues are related to providing electric delivery service to consumers. Tariff rates are designed to recover the cost of providing electric delivery service to customers including a reasonable rate of return on invested capital. As the volumes delivered can be directly measured, our revenues are recognized when the underlying service has been provided in an amount prescribed by the related tariff. We recognize revenue in the amount that we have the right to invoice. Substantially all of our revenues are from contracts with customers except for alternative revenue program revenues discussed below.

Reconcilable Tariffs

The PUCT has designated certain tariffs (primarily TCRF and EECRF) as reconcilable, which means the differences between amounts billed under these tariffs and the related incurred costs are deferred as either regulatory assets or regulatory liabilities. Accordingly, at prescribed intervals, future tariffs are adjusted to either repay regulatory liabilities or collect regulatory assets.

Alternative Revenue Program

The PUCT has implemented an incentive program allowing us to earn performance bonuses by exceeding PUCT energy efficiency program targets. This incentive program and the related performance bonus revenues are considered an “alternative revenue program” under GAAP. Annual performance bonuses are recognized as revenue when approved by the PUCT, typically in the third or fourth quarter each year.

Disaggregation of Revenues

The following table reflects electric delivery revenues disaggregated by tariff for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018:


	Three Months Ended June 30,				Six Months Ended June 30,
	2019		2018		2019		2018
Operating revenues
Revenues contributing to earnings:
Distribution base revenues	$	497	$	529	$	996	$	1,036
Transmission base revenues (TCOS revenues):
Billed to third-party wholesale customers		168		141		312		266
Billed to REPs serving Oncor distribution customers, through TCRF		93		79		177		157
Total transmission base revenues		261		220		489		423
Other miscellaneous revenues		19		16		35		31
Total revenues contributing to earnings		777		765		1,520		1,490

Revenues collected for pass-through expenses:
TCRF - third-party wholesale transmission service		254		238		514		483
EECRF and other regulatory charges		10		18		23		38
Revenues collected for pass-through expenses		264		256		537		521

Total operating revenues	$	1,041	$	1,021	$	2,057	$	2,011

Customers

Our distribution customers consist of approximately 90 REPs and certain electric cooperatives in our certificated service area. The consumers of the electricity we deliver are free to choose their electricity supplier from REPs who compete for their business. Our transmission base revenues are collected from load serving entities benefiting from our transmission system. Our transmission customers consist of municipalities, electric cooperatives and other distribution companies. REP subsidiaries of our two largest counterparties represented 18% and 15% of our total operating revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2019, and 21% and 15% of our total operating revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2019. No other customer represented more than 10% of our total operating revenues.

Variability

Our revenues and cash flows are subject to seasonality, timing of customer billings, weather conditions and other electricity usage drivers, with revenues being highest in the summer. Payment is due 35 days after invoicing. Under a PUCT rule relating to the Certification of Retail Electric Providers, write-offs of uncollectible amounts owed by nonaffiliated REPs are recoverable as a regulatory asset.

Pass-through Expenses

Expenses which are allowed to be passed-through to customers (primarily, third party wholesale transmission service and energy efficiency program costs) are generally recognized as revenue at the time the costs are incurred. Franchise taxes are assessed by local governmental bodies, based on kWh delivered and are not a “pass-through” item. The rates we charge customers are intended to recover the franchise taxes, but we are not acting as an agent to collect the taxes from customers; therefore, franchise taxes are reported as a principal component of “taxes other than amounts related to income taxes” instead of a reduction to “revenues” in the income statement.

4. SHORT-TERM BORROWINGS

At June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, outstanding short-term borrowings under our CP Program and Credit Facility consisted of the following:


	At June 30,		At December 31,
	2019		2018
Total borrowing capacity	$	2,000	$	2,000
Commercial paper outstanding (a)		(1,073)		(813)
Credit facility outstanding (b)		-		-
Letters of credit outstanding (c)		(10)		(9)
Available unused credit	$	917	$	1,178

____________

The weighted average interest rates for commercial paper at June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 were 2.70% and 2.74%, respectively.

At June 30, 2019, the applicable interest rate for any outstanding borrowings would have been LIBOR plus 1.00%

The interest rate on outstanding letters of credit at both June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 was 1.20% based on our credit ratings.

CP Program

In March 2018, we established the CP Program, under which we may issue unsecured commercial paper notes (CP Notes) on a private placement basis up to a maximum aggregate face or principal amount outstanding at any time of $2.0 billion. The proceeds of CP Notes issued under the CP Program are used for working capital and general corporate purposes. The CP Program obtains liquidity support from our Credit Facility, which is discussed below. If at any time funds are not available on favorable terms under the CP Program, we may utilize the Credit Facility for funding.

Credit Facility

At June 30, 2019, we had a $2.0 billion unsecured revolving Credit Facility to be used for working capital and general corporate purposes, issuances of letters of credit and support for commercial paper issuances. We may request increases in our borrowing capacity in increments of not less than $100 million, not to exceed $400 million in the aggregate provided certain conditions are met, including lender approvals. The Credit Facility’s five-year term expires in November 2022 and gives us the option of requesting up to two one-year extensions, with such extensions subject to certain conditions and lender approvals. Borrowings are classified as short-term on the balance sheet.

May 2019 Term Loan Credit Agreement

On May 9, 2019, we entered into a short-term unsecured term loan credit agreement (Bridge Loan) in an aggregate principal amount of up to $600 million in connection with the InfraREIT Acquisition. The Bridge Loan had a six-month term. Borrowings under the Bridge Loan could only be used to finance the repayment of indebtedness of InfraREIT or its affiliates and to pay expenses and fees related to the InfraREIT Acquisition. A fee was payable to the lenders under the Bridge Loan in an amount equal to 0.075% per annum on the average daily undrawn amount of the commitments.

The Bridge Loan contained customary covenants for facilities of this type, restricting, subject to certain exceptions, us and our subsidiaries from, among other things, incurring additional liens, entering into mergers and consolidations, and sales of substantial assets. The Bridge Loan also contained a senior debt-to-capitalization ratio covenant that effectively limited our ability to incur indebtedness in the future.

On May 15, 2019, we borrowed $600 million under the Bridge Loan to pay, at closing of the InfraREIT Acquisition, all amounts outstanding under SDTS’s term loan, all amounts outstanding under the revolving credit facilities of SDTS and InfraREIT Partners, and amounts owed to discharge certain outstanding notes of SDTS. The borrowing under the Bridge Loan bore interest at a per annum rate equal to LIBOR plus 0.65%. The Bridge Loan was repaid in full in May 2019 with the proceeds from our May 23, 2019 senior secured notes issuance (discussed in Note 5 below) and as a result the agreement is no longer in effect.

InfraREIT Short-Term Debt Repayments in Connection with InfraREIT Acquisition

In connection with the closing of the InfraREIT Acquisition, on May 16, 2019, the credit facilities of InfraREIT and its subsidiaries were terminated and borrowings totaling $114 million were repaid in full by Oncor. For more information on the extinguishment of InfraREIT debt in connection with the InfraREIT Acquisition, see Notes 5 and 11.

5. LONG-TERM DEBT

Our senior notes are secured by a first priority lien on certain transmission and distribution assets equally and ratably with all of Oncor’s other secured indebtedness. See “Deed of Trust” below for additional information. At June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, our long-term debt consisted of the following:

Long-Term Debt-Related Activity in 2019

Debt Repayments

Repayments of long-term debt in the six months ended June 30, 2019 included $250 million aggregate principal amount of our 2.15% senior secured notes due June 1, 2019 and $488 million aggregate principal amount of long-term debt of InfraREIT’s subsidiaries that we paid on May 16, 2019 in connection with and immediately following the InfraREIT Acquisition.

Long-Term Debt Activity in Connection with InfraREIT Acquisition

[In connection with the closing of the InfraREIT Acquisition, on May 16, 2019, we extinguished all of the $839 million of outstanding long-term debt of InfraREIT and its subsidiaries. As part of that extinguishment, we repaid $288 million principal amount of outstanding InfraREIT subsidiary senior notes (plus $5 million in accrued interest and $19 million in make-whole fees relating to those notes) and an outstanding $200 million principal amount InfraREIT subsidiary term loan. Additionally, we issued $351 million of new Oncor secured senior notes in exchange for a like principal amount of outstanding InfraREIT subsidiary senior notes.]

We received no proceeds from the issuance of the new Oncor notes and the exchanges were accounted for as debt modifications. Following are details of the exchanges:

(i)

$87 million aggregate principal amount of newly issued Oncor 6.47% Senior Notes, Series A, due September 30, 2030 (2030 Notes), issued in exchange for a like principal amount of SDTS’s 6.47% Senior Notes due September 30, 2030,

(ii)

$38 million aggregate principal amount of newly issued Oncor 7.25% Senior Notes, Series B, due December 30, 2029 (2029 Notes), issued in exchange for a like principal amount of SDTS’s 7.25% Senior Notes due December 30, 2029,

(iii)

$14 million aggregate principal amount of newly issued Oncor 8.50% Senior Notes, Series C, due December 30, 2020 (2020 Notes), issued in exchange for a like principal amount of Transmission and Distributions Company, L.L.C.’s 8.5% Senior Notes due December 30, 2020,

(iv)

$174 million aggregate principal amount of newly issued Oncor 3.86% Senior Notes, Series A, due December 3, 2025 (2025 Notes), issued in exchange for a like principal amount of SDTS’s 3.86% Senior Notes due December 3, 2025, and

(v)

$38 million aggregate principal amount of newly issued Oncor 3.86% Senior Notes, Series B, due January 14, 2026 (2026 Notes), issued in exchange for a like principal amount of SDTS’s 3.86% Senior Notes due January 14, 2026.

The 2030 Notes, 2029 Notes and 2020 Notes were issued pursuant to a note purchase agreement (ABC Note Purchase Agreement) that we entered into on May 3, 2019. The 2025 Notes and 2026 Notes were issued pursuant to a note purchase agreement (AB Note Purchase Agreement, and together with the ABC Note Purchase Agreement, Note Purchase Agreements) that we entered into on May 6, 2019. Closing of the Note Purchase Agreements and issuance of the 2030 Notes, 2029 Notes, 2020 Notes, 2025 Notes and 2026 Notes (collectively, NPA Notes) occurred on May 16, 2019, immediately following consummation of the InfraREIT Acquisition.

Interest and the applicable principal prepayment for the 2029 Notes and 2030 Notes are payable on the 30th day of March, June, September and December of each year, and interest and the applicable principal prepayment for the 2020 Notes are payable on the 15th day of January, April, July and October of each year. Interest on the 2025 Notes is payable on June 3 and December 3 of each year, and interest on the 2026 Notes is payable on January 14 and July 14 of each year. At closing of the Note Purchase Agreements, we paid accrued and unpaid interest and certain fees with respect to the exchanged notes totaling an aggregate of $6 million.

The Note Purchase Agreements contain customary covenant restrictions and events of default. The NPA Notes are secured equally and ratably with our other secured indebtedness pursuant to the Deed of Trust. For more information on the Deed of Trust, see “Deed of Trust” below. We received no proceeds from the issuance of the NPA Notes.

Additional Long-Term Debt Issuances

On May 23, 2019, we completed a sale of $500 million aggregate principal amount of 2.75% Senior Secured Notes due 2024 (2024 Notes), $300 million aggregate principal amount of 3.70% Senior Secured Notes due 2028 (2028 Notes) and $500 million aggregate principal amount of 3.80% Senior Secured Notes due 2049 (2049 Notes and, together with the 2024 Notes and the 2028 Notes, the New Indenture Notes). The 2028 Notes constitute an additional issuance of our 3.70% Senior Secured Notes due 2028, $350 million of which we previously issued on August 10, 2018 and are currently outstanding (Outstanding Notes). The 2028 Notes were issued as part of the same series as the Outstanding Notes. Additionally, the 2028 Notes exchanged or sold in connection with the transactions

contemplated by a registration rights agreement are expected to become fungible with the Outstanding Notes. We used the proceeds (net of the initial purchasers’ discount, fees, expenses and accrued interest) of $1,297 million from the sale of the New Indenture Notes for general corporate purposes, including to repay all amounts outstanding under the Bridge Loan, to repay our $250 million aggregate principal amount of 2.15% Senior Secured Notes due June 1, 2019 and to repay CP Notes, when due, under our CP Program. For more information on the Bridge Loan, see Note 4.

The New Indenture Notes were issued in a private placement and were not registered under the Securities Act of 1933. We have agreed, subject to certain exceptions, to register with the SEC notes having substantially identical terms as the New Indenture Notes (except for provisions relating to the transfer restriction and payment of additional interest) as part of an offer to exchange freely tradable exchange notes for the New Indenture Notes. We have agreed to use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the exchange offer to be completed within 315 days after the issue date of the New Indenture Notes. If a registration statement for the exchange offer is not declared effective by the SEC within 270 days after the issue date of the New Indenture Notes or the exchange offer is not completed within 315 days after the issue date of the New Indenture Notes (an exchange default), then the annual interest rate on the New Indenture Notes will increase 50 basis points per annum until the earlier of the expiration of the exchange default or the second anniversary of the issue date of the New Indenture Notes.

Deed of Trust

Our secured indebtedness is secured equally and ratably by a first priority lien on property we acquired or constructed for the transmission and distribution of electricity. The property is mortgaged under the Deed of Trust. The Deed of Trust permits us to secure indebtedness (excluding borrowings under the CP Program, the Credit Facility and the term loan credit agreement) with the lien of the Deed of Trust up to the aggregate of (i) the amount of available bond credits, and (ii) 85% of the lower of the fair value or cost of certain property additions that could be certified to the Deed of Trust collateral agent. At June 30, 2019, the amount of available bond credits was $3,232 million and the amount of future debt we could secure with property additions, subject to those property additions being certified to the Deed of Trust collateral agent, was $1,790 million.

Borrowings under the CP Program, the Credit Facility, the term loan credit agreement and, while it was outstanding, the Bridge Loan, are not secured.

Maturities

Long-term maturities (including current maturities) at June 30, 2019, are as follows:


Year	Amount
2019	$	361
2020		148
2021		9
2022		891
2023		10
Thereafter		6,458
Unamortized discount and debt issuance costs		(46)
Total	$	7,831

Fair Value of Long-Term Debt

At June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the estimated fair value of our long-term debt (including current maturities) totaled $9,085 million and $7,086 million, respectively, and the carrying amount totaled $7,831 million and $6,435 million, respectively. The fair value is estimated using observable market data, representing Level 2 valuations under accounting standards related to the determination of fair value.

6. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Legal/Regulatory Proceedings

We are involved in various legal and administrative proceedings in the normal course of business, the ultimate resolution of which, in the opinion of management, should not have a material effect upon our financial position, results of operations or cash flows. See Notes 2 and 11 and Note 8 to Financial Statements in our 2018 Form 10-K for additional information regarding our regulatory and legal proceedings, respectively.

Leases

General

A lease exists when a contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration. As lessee, our leased assets primarily consist of our vehicle fleet and real estate leased for company offices and service centers. Our leases are accounted for as operating leases for both GAAP and rate-making purposes. We generally recognize operating lease costs on a straight-line basis over the lease term in operating expenses. We are not a lessor to any material lease contracts.

As of the lease commencement date, we recognize a lease liability for our obligation to make lease payments, which we initially measure at present value using our incremental borrowing rate at the date of lease commencement, unless the rate implicit in the lease is readily determinable. We determine our incremental borrowing rate based on the rate of interest that we would have to pay to borrow on a collateralized basis over a similar term an amount equal to the lease payments in a similar economic environment. We also record a ROU asset for our right to use the underlying asset, which is initially equal to the lease liability and adjusted for any lease payments made at or before lease commencement, lease incentives and any initial direct costs.

Some of our lease agreements contain nonlease components, which represent items or activities that transfer a good or service. We separate lease components from nonlease components, if any, for our fleet vehicle and real estate leases for purposes of calculating the related lease liability and ROU asset.

Certain of our leases include options to extend the lease terms for up to 20 years, while others include options to terminate early. Our lease liabilities and ROU assets are based on lease terms that may include such options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that we will exercise that option.

Short-term Leases

Some of our contracts are short-term leases, which have a lease term of 12 months or less at lease commencement. As allowed by GAAP, we do not recognize a lease liability or ROU asset arising from short-term leases for all existing classes of underlying assets. We recognize short-term lease costs on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

Lease Obligations, Lease Costs and Other Supplemental Data

The following tables summarize lease information as of and for the six months ended June 30, 2019.

7. MEMBERSHIP INTERESTS

Cash Distributions

The PUCT order issued in the Sempra Acquisition and our limited liability company agreement set forth various restrictions on distributions to our members. Among those restrictions is the commitment that we will make no distributions that would cause us to be out of compliance with the PUCT’s approved debt-to-equity ratio which is currently 57.5% debt to 42.5% equity. The distribution restrictions also include the ability of our board, a majority of the disinterested directors, or any Texas Transmission director to limit distributions to the extent each determines it is necessary to meet expected future requirements of Oncor (including continuing compliance with the PUCT debt-to-equity ratio commitment).

The PUCT has the authority to determine what types of debt and equity are included in a utility’s debt-to-equity ratio. For purposes of this ratio, debt is calculated as long-term debt including finance leases plus unamortized gains on reacquired debt less unamortized issuance expenses, premiums and losses on reacquired debt. Equity is calculated as membership interests determined in accordance with GAAP, excluding the effects of acquisition accounting from a 2007 transaction.

At June 30, 2019, we had $612 million available to distribute to our members as our regulatory capitalization ratio was 55.0% debt to 45.0% equity.

On July 30, 2019, our board of directors declared a cash distribution of $71 million, which was paid to our members on July 31, 2019. On May 1, 2019, our board of directors declared a cash distribution of $71 million, which was paid to our members on May 2, 2019.

Cash Contributions

On July 29, 2019 our members made capital contributions of 70 million. On May 15, 2019, Sempra and certain indirect owners of Texas Transmission made capital contributions of $1,330 million to fund the cash consideration and certain expenses payable in connection with the InfraREIT Acquisition. For more information on the InfraREIT Acquisition, see Note 11. In addition, on April 30, 2019, our members made capital contributions of $70 million.

8. PENSION AND OPEB PLANS

Pension Plans

We sponsor the Oncor Retirement Plan and also have liabilities under the Vistra Retirement Plan, both of which are qualified pension plans under Section 401(a) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and are subject to the provisions of ERISA. Employees do not contribute to either plan. We also have a supplemental pension plan for certain employees whose retirement benefits cannot be fully earned under the qualified retirement plans. See Note 10 to Financial Statements in our 2018 Form 10-K for additional information regarding pension plans.

OPEB Plans

We currently sponsor two OPEB plans. One plan covers our eligible current and future retirees whose services are 100% attributed to the regulated business. Effective January 1, 2018, we established a second plan to cover EFH Corp./Vistra retirees and eligible current and future retirees whose employment services were assigned to both Oncor (or a predecessor regulated utility business) and the non-regulated business of EFH Corp./Vistra. Vistra is solely responsible for its portion of the liability for retiree benefits related to those retirees. See Note 10 to Financial Statements in our 2018 Form 10-K for additional information.

Pension and OPEB Costs

Our net costs related to pension plans and the Oncor OPEB Plans for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018 were comprised of the following:


	Three Months Ended June 30,				Six Months Ended June 30,

The discount rates reflected in net pension and OPEB costs in 2019 are 4.16%, 4.40% and 4.41% for the Oncor Retirement Plan, the Vistra Retirement Plan and the Oncor OPEB Plans, respectively. The expected return on pension and OPEB plan assets reflected in the 2019 cost amounts are 5.43%, 5.29% and 6.19% for the Oncor Retirement Plan, the Vistra Retirement Plan and the Oncor OPEB Plans, respectively.

Pension and OPEB Plans Cash Contributions

We made cash contributions to the pension plans and Oncor OPEB Plans of $12 million and $18 million, respectively, during the six months ended June 30, 2019. We expect to make additional cash contributions to the pension plans and Oncor OPEB Plans of $29 million and $17 million, respectively, during the remainder of 2019. Our aggregate pension plans and Oncor OPEB Plans funding is expected to total approximately $538 million and $179 million, respectively, in the 2019 to 2023 period based on the latest actuarial projections.

9. RELATED-PARTY TRANSACTIONS

The following represent our significant related-party transactions. As a result of the Sempra Acquisition, Sempra became a related party and the Sponsor Group ceased to be a related party as of March 9, 2018. In addition, as of the May 16, 2019 closing of the Sempra-Sharyland Transaction, Sharyland became a related party.

We are not a member of another entity’s consolidated tax group, but our owners’ federal income tax returns include their portion of our results. Under the terms of a tax sharing agreement among us, Oncor Holdings, Texas Transmission and STH (as successor to EFH Corp.), we are generally obligated to make payments to our owners, pro rata in accordance with their respective membership interests, in an aggregate amount that is substantially equal to the amount of federal income taxes that we would have been required to pay if we were filing our own corporate income tax return. STH will file a combined

Texas margin tax return that includes our results and our share of Texas margin tax payments, which are accounted for as income taxes and calculated as if we were filing our own return. See discussion in Note 1 to Financial Statements in our 2018 Form 10-K under “Provision in Lieu of Income Taxes.” Under the “in lieu of” tax concept, all in lieu of tax assets and tax liabilities represent amounts that will eventually be settled with our members. In the event such amounts are not paid under the tax sharing agreement, it is probable that this regulatory liability will continue to be included in Oncor’s rate setting processes.

Amounts payable to (receivable from) members related to income taxes under the tax sharing agreement and reported on our balance sheets consisted of the following:


	At June 30, 2019						At December 31, 2018
	STH		Texas Transmission		Total		STH		Texas Transmission		Total

Federal income taxes payable (receivable)	$	(2)	$	(1)	$	(3)	$	4	$	1	$	5

See Note 7 for information regarding distributions to and capital contributions from members, including an aggregate of $1,330 million in capital contributions received from members to fund the InfraREIT Acquisition and certain expenses.

From the May 16, 2019 InfraREIT Acquisition date through June 30, 2019, Sharyland provided wholesale transmission service to Oncor in the amount of $2 million.

11. INFRAREIT ACQUISITION

On May 16, 2019, we completed the InfraREIT Acquisition, pursuant to which we acquired all of the equity interests of InfraREIT and its subsidiary, InfraREIT Partners. The InfraREIT Acquisition occurred through the merger of InfraREIT with and into a newly formed wholly-owned subsidiary of Oncor, followed by the merger of another newly formed wholly-owned subsidiary of Oncor with and into InfraREIT Partners. The stockholders of InfraREIT and the limited partners of InfraREIT Partners received $21.00 in cash per share of common stock or limited partnership unit, as applicable, resulting in a total cash consideration of $1,275 million. In addition, we paid certain transaction costs incurred by InfraREIT (including a management agreement termination fee of $40 million that InfraREIT paid an affiliate of Hunt Consolidated, Inc. at closing), with the aggregate cash consideration and payment of InfraREIT expenses totaling $1,328 million.

In connection with and immediately following the closing of the InfraREIT Acquisition, on May 16, 2019, we extinguished all outstanding debt of InfraREIT and its subsidiaries through repaying $602 million principal amount of InfraREIT subsidiary debt and exchanging $351 million principal amount of InfraREIT subsidiary debt for new Oncor senior secured debt, as discussed in more detail in Notes 4 and 5.

On May 15, 2019, in connection with the InfraREIT Acquisition, we received capital contributions in an aggregate amount of $1,330 million from Sempra and certain indirect equity holders of Texas Transmission (collectively, Equity Commitment Parties) to fund the cash consideration and certain transaction expenses.

As a condition to the InfraREIT Acquisition, SDTS, and SDTS’s tenant, SU, completed the SDTS-SU Asset Exchange immediately prior to the closing of the InfraREIT Acquisition, pursuant to which SDTS exchanged certain of its south Texas assets for certain north Texas assets owned by SU. The north Texas assets acquired by SDTS consisted of certain real property and other assets used in the electric transmission and distribution business in Central, North and West Texas, as well as equity interests in GS Project Entity, L.L.C., a Texas limited liability company that was merged with and into SDTS. The south Texas assets acquired by SU consisted of real property and other assets near the Texas-Mexico border. As a result of the InfraREIT Acquisition closing, we and our subsidiary NTU now own all of the assets and projects in the north, central, west and panhandle regions of Texas held by SDTS and SU immediately prior to the InfraREIT Acquisition, and Sharyland owns the assets that were held by SU and SDTS in south Texas immediately prior to the InfraREIT Acquisition. The assets we acquired include approximately 1,575 miles of transmission lines, including 1,235 circuit miles of 345kV transmission lines and approximately 340 circuit miles of 138kV transmission lines. The north, central, and west Texas transmission system acquired by us in the transaction is directly connected to approximately 20 operational generation facilities totaling approximately 3,900 MW and serves over 50 transmission stations and substations.

In addition, as a condition to the closing of the SDTS-SU Asset Exchange, Sempra acquired an indirect 50 percent interest in Sharyland Holdings, the parent of Sharyland (Sempra-Sharyland Transaction). As a result of the Sempra-Sharyland Transaction, Sharyland is now our affiliate for purposes of PUCT rules. Pursuant to the agreement governing the SDTS-SU Asset Exchange and the PUCT order in Docket No. 48929 approving the InfraREIT Acquisition, upon closing of the InfraREIT Acquisition we entered into an operation agreement pursuant to which we will provide certain operations services to Sharyland at cost with no markup or profit.

Business Combination Accounting

We accounted for the InfraREIT Acquisition as a business acquisition with identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed recorded at their estimated fair values on the closing date. The combined results of operations are reported in our consolidated financial statements beginning as of the closing date. A summary of techniques used to estimate the preliminary fair value of the identifiable assets and liabilities is listed below.

Assets and liabilities that are included in the PUCT cost-based regulatory rate-setting processes are recorded at fair values equal to their regulatory carrying value consistent with GAAP and industry practice.

Working capital was valued using market information (Level 2).

The following tables set forth the purchase price paid and the allocation of the total purchase price paid to the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed. The purchase price allocation is preliminary and the allocation to each identifiable asset acquired and liability assumed may change based upon the receipt of more detailed information and additional analyses related primarily to final working capital adjustments. We currently expect the final purchase price allocation will be completed no later than the second quarter of 2020.


The total purchase price paid was comprised of the following

Purchase of outstanding InfraREIT shares and units	$	1,275
Certain transaction costs of InfraREIT paid by Oncor (a)		53
Total purchase price paid	$	1,328

__________________

(a)

Represents certain transaction costs incurred by InfraREIT in connection with the transaction and paid by Oncor, including a $40 million management termination fee payable to an affiliate of Hunt Consolidated, Inc.


Purchase price allocation is as follows:
	At May 16, 2019
Assets acquired:
Accounts receivables, inventories and other current assets	$	40
Property, plant and equipment - net		1,799
Goodwill		687
Regulatory assets		16
Other noncurrent assets		10
Total assets acquired		2,552

Liabilities assumed:
Short-term debt		114
Other current liabilities		25
Regulatory liabilities		148
Deferred tax liabilities		98
Long-term debt, including due currently		839
Total liabilities assumed		1,224
Net assets acquired	$	1,328
Total purchase price paid	$	1,328

The goodwill of $687 million arising from the InfraREIT Acquisition is attributable to the assets acquired, which expand our transmission footprint and help us support ERCOT market growth. None of the goodwill is recoverable nor provides a tax benefit in the rate-making process. We did not assume any employee benefit obligations in the acquisition.

Acquisition costs incurred in the InfraREIT Acquisition by Oncor and recorded to other deductions totaled $7 million and $9 million for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2019, respectively. Our condensed statements of consolidated income include estimated revenues and net income totaling $31 million and $13 million, respectively, since the May 16, 2019 acquisition date.

Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information

The following unaudited pro forma financial information for the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018 assumes that the InfraREIT Acquisition occurred on January 1, 2018. The unaudited pro forma financial information is provided for information purposes only and is not necessarily indicative of the results of operations that would have occurred had the InfraREIT Acquisition been completed on January 1, 2018, nor is the unaudited pro forma financial information indicative of future results of operations, which may differ materially from the pro forma financial information presented here.

The unaudited pro forma financial information above excludes pro forma earnings due to the impracticability of a calculation. The acquiree previously operated under a real estate investment trust structure with a unique cost structure and unique federal tax attributes. An accurate retrospective application cannot be objectively and reliably calculated as the new cost structure and new tax attributes would require a significant amount of estimates and judgments.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018 should be read in conjunction with the condensed financial statements and the notes to those statements herein as well as the consolidated financial statements and the notes to those statements and “Risk Factors” contained in our 2018 Form 10-K.

All dollar amounts in the tables in the following discussion and analysis are stated in millions of U.S. dollars unless otherwise indicated.

BUSINESS

We are a regulated electricity transmission and distribution company primarily engaged in providing delivery services to REPs that sell power in the north-central, eastern, western and panhandle regions of Texas. We are a direct, majority-owned subsidiary of Oncor Holdings, which is indirectly wholly owned by Sempra. Oncor Holdings owns 80.25% of our outstanding membership interests and Texas Transmission owns 19.75% of our outstanding membership interests. We are managed as an integrated business; consequently, there are no separate reportable business segments.

Significant Activities and Events

InfraREIT Acquisition — On May 16, 2019, we completed the InfraREIT Acquisition, pursuant to which we acquired all of the equity interests of InfraREIT and InfraREIT Partners. The cash consideration paid to stockholders of InfraREIT and limited partners of its subsidiary InfraREIT Partners totaled $1,275 million. In addition, we paid certain transaction costs incurred by InfraREIT (including a management agreement termination fee of $40 million that InfraREIT paid an affiliate of Hunt Consolidated, Inc. at closing), with the aggregate cash consideration and payment of certain InfraREIT expenses totaling $1,328 million. In connection with and immediately after the closing of the InfraREIT Acquisition, on May 16, 2019, we also extinguished all $953 million aggregate principal amount of the outstanding debt of InfraREIT and its subsidiaries through repayment of $602 million of InfraREIT subsidiary debt and the exchange of $351 million of InfraREIT subsidiary debt for newly issued Oncor senior secured notes. See Notes 4, 5 and 11 to Financial Statements for more information on the exchange of notes and repayment of debt of InfraREIT and its subsidiaries.

Debt-Related Activities — In May 2019, we entered into the short-term Bridge Loan with an aggregate principal amount of up to $600 million, which was repaid on May 23, 2019. In connection with the closing of the InfraREIT Acquisition, on May 16, 2019, the short-term credit facilities of InfraREIT and its subsidiaries were terminated and borrowings totaling $114 million were repaid in full by Oncor. See Note 4 to Financial Statements for more information on these transactions.

Also in May 2019, we issued (i) $351 million of NPA Notes in exchange for a like principal amount of notes issued by InfraREIT subsidiaries, (ii) $500 million aggregate principal amount of 2024 Notes, (iii) $300 million aggregate principal amount of 2028 Notes, and (iv) $500 million aggregate principal amount of 2049 Notes. Repayments of long-term debt in the six months ended June 30, 2019 consisted of our repayment of $250 million aggregate principal amount of senior secured notes due June 1, 2019 and the repayment of $488 million aggregate principal amount of certain InfraREIT-related long-term debt on May 16, 2019, in connection with and immediately following the closing of the InfraREIT Acquisition. See Note 5 to Financial Statements regarding the new long-term debt issuances and long-term debt repayments. See Note 11 to Financial Statements regarding the InfraREIT Acquisition.

(a)

SAIDI is the average number of minutes electric service is interrupted per consumer in a year. SAIFI is the average number of electric service interruptions per consumer in a year. CAIDI is the average duration in minutes per electric service interruption in a year. The statistics presented are based on twelve months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018 data.

Financial Results — Three Months Ended June 30, 2019 Compared to Three Months Ended June 30, 2018

Total operating revenues increased $20 million, or 2%, to $1.041 billion in 2019. Revenue is billed under tariffs approved by the PUCT.

Revenues that contribute to earnings increased $12 million during the three months ended June 30, 2019. The change reflected the following components:

A Decrease in Distribution Base Revenues — Distribution base rate revenues decreased $32 million during the three months ended June 30, 2019. Distribution base rates are set periodically in a rate review docket initiated by either us or the PUCT. The PUCT allows utilities to file, under certain circumstances, a DCRF case once per year and up to four rate adjustments between comprehensive base rate proceedings to recover distribution investments and certain other related costs on an interim basis. The decrease in distribution base rate revenues primarily reflects:

$33 million net decrease due to lower consumption driven by weather, and

$9 million decrease due to refund of excess deferred federal income taxes beginning July 2018,

Partially offset by $6 million increase due to growth in points of delivery, and

$4 million increase due to the effects of the 2018 DCRF rate increase effective September 1, 2018.

See the DCRF Filings Table below for a listing of annual filings impacting revenues for 2019 and 2018.

DCRF Filings Table


Docket No.	Filed	Effective	Annual Revenue Impact
49427 (pending)	April 2019	September 2019	$	25
48231	April 2018	September 2018	$	15

An Increase in Transmission Base Revenues — Transmission base revenues (or TCOS revenues) increased $41 million during the three months ended June 30, 2019. TCOS revenues are collected from load serving entities benefitting from our transmission system. REPs serving customers in our service territory are billed through the TCRF mechanism discussed below, while other load serving entities are billed directly. In order to reflect changes in our invested transmission capital, PUCT rules allow us to update our TCOS rates by filing up to two interim TCOS rate adjustments in a calendar year. The increase in TCOS revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2019 compared to the 2018 period reflects a:

$29 million increase due to the InfraREIT Acquisition, and

$19 million increase due to effects of TCOS updates,

Partially offset by a $7 million decrease due to the refund of excess deferred federal income taxes resulting from the TCJA.

See TCOS Filings Table below for a listing of transmission interim rate update applications and anticipated impacts on revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, as well as filings and the anticipated impact to revenues for the year ended December 31, 2019.

* Anticipated effective date and amounts.

An Increase in Other Miscellaneous Revenues — Other miscellaneous revenues increased $3 million primarily due to NTU miscellaneous revenues and higher facility study revenues.

Revenues collected for pass-through expenses include the following components. While changes in these tariffs affect revenues and the timing of cash flows, they do not impact operating income and do not contribute to earnings. These revenues increased $8 million during the three-month period ended June 30 and the change reflected:

An Increase in TCRF – third-party wholesale transmission service (TCRF Third-Party) — TCRF revenues increased $16 million during the three months ended June 30, 2019. TCRF is a reconcilable distribution rate charged to REPs to recover fees we pay to third-party transmission service providers under their TCOS rates and the retail portion of our own TCOS rate described above. Changes in our TCRF Third-Party revenue are to pass through an increase in third-party wholesale transmission service expense. At June 30, 2019, $32 million was deferred as under-recovered wholesale transmission service expense (see Note 2 to Financial Statements). PUCT rules require us to update the TCRF component of our retail delivery rates on March 1 and September 1 each year. See TCRF Filings Table below for a listing of TCRF filings impacting cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, as well as filings and the anticipated impacts to cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2019.

A Net Decrease in EECRF and Other Regulatory Surcharges — EECRF and other regulatory surcharge revenues decreased by $8 million during the three months ended June 30, 2019. The EECRF is a reconcilable rate designed to recover current energy efficiency program costs and performance bonuses earned by exceeding PUCT targets in prior years and refund or recover any over/under recovery of our costs in prior years. We recognize the performance bonuses in other miscellaneous revenues upon approval by the PUCT. PUCT rules require us to file an annual EECRF tariff update by the first business day in June of each year for implementation on March 1 of the next calendar year. The net decrease includes a $9 million reduction due to cessation of certain rate case expense and remand surcharges, partially offset by a $1 million increase in energy efficiency cost recovery. See EECRF Filings Table below for a listing of EECRF filings

impacting revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, as well as filings that will impact revenues for the year ended December 31, 2019.

Wholesale transmission service expense increased $16 million, or 7%, to $254 million in 2019 due to higher fees paid to third-party transmission entities.

Operation and maintenance expenses increased $1 million to $204 million in 2019. The current period includes a $3 million increase in contractor costs, offset by a $3 million decrease in transportation costs.

Depreciation and amortization increased $10 million to $178 million in 2019. The increase is primarily attributable to ongoing investments in property, plant and equipment and $6 million related to the InfraREIT Acquisition.

Provision in lieu of income taxes totaled $27 million (including a $4 million benefit related to nonoperating income) in 2019 compared to $43 million (including a $4 million benefit related to nonoperating income) in 2018.

The effective income tax rate was 16.3% and 23.1% for the 2019 and 2018 periods, respectively. The effective tax rate on pretax income differs from the U.S. federal statutory rate of 21% primarily due to the amortization of the regulatory liability for excess deferred taxes as a result of the TCJA, partially offset by the effects of the Texas margin tax.

Taxes other than income taxes was $121 million in both 2019 and 2018 and reflects a decrease due to a $7 million expense in the prior period related to recovery of certain municipal franchise fees as part of the 2017 rate review, offset by a $7 million increase in property taxes including a $2 million impact resulting from the InfraREIT Acquisition.

Other income and (deductions) - net was $7 million unfavorable in 2019 compared to 2018. The variance is primarily due to InfraREIT Acquisition related costs reflected in the current period. See Note 10 to Financial Statements for more information.

Interest expense and related charges were $93 million and $87 million for 2019 and 2018, respectively. The current period includes a $15 million increase due to higher average borrowings including a $4 million increase attributable to the InfraREIT Acquistion, partially offset by a $9 million decrease due to lower average interest rates.

Net income was $4 million lower than the prior period, primarily driven by depreciation, InfraREIT Acquisition related costs and interest expense, partially offset by increased revenues that contribute to earnings.

Financial Results — Six Months Ended June 30, 2019 Compared to Six Months Ended June 30, 2018

Total operating revenues increased $46 million, or 2%, to $2,057 million in 2019.

Revenues that contribute to earnings increased $30 million during the six months ended June 30, 2019. The change reflected the following components:

A Decrease in Distribution Base Revenues — Distribution base rate revenues decreased $40 million during the six months ended June 30, 2019 and primarily reflects:

$42 million net decrease due to lower consumption driven primarily by weather, and

$18 million decrease due to refund of excess deferred federal income taxes beginning July 2018,

Partially offset by a $14 million increase due to growth in points of delivery, and

$7 million increase due to the effects of the 2018 DCRF rate increase effective September 1, 2018.

See the DCRF Filings Table above for a listing of annual filings impacting revenues for 2019 and 2018.

An Increase in Transmission Base Revenues — TCOS revenues increased $66 million during the six months ended June 30, 2019 and primarily reflects a:

$51 million increase due to effects of TCOS updates,

$29 million increase due to the InfraREIT Acquisition,

Partially offset by a $14 million decrease due to the refund of excess deferred federal income taxes resulting from the TCJA.

See TCOS Filings Table above for a listing of transmission interim rate update applications and anticipated impacts on revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018.

An Increase in Other Miscellaneous Revenues — Other miscellaneous revenues increased $4 million primarily due to NTU miscellaneous revenues and higher facility study revenues.

Revenues collected for pass-through expenses include the following components. While changes in these tariffs affect revenues and the timing of cash flows, they do not impact operating income and do not contribute to earnings. These revenues increased $16 million during the six-month period ended June 30 and the change reflected:

An Increase in TCRF – third-party wholesale transmission service — TCRF revenues increased $31 million during the six months ended June 30, 2019. See TCRF Filings Table above for a listing of TCRF filings impacting cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, as well as filings and the anticipated impacts to cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2019.

A Net Decrease in EECRF and Other Regulatory Surcharges — EECRF and other regulatory surcharge revenues decreased by $15 million during the six months ended June 30, 2019. The net decrease includes a $17 million reduction due to cessation of certain rate case expense and remand surcharges, partially offset by a $2 million increase in energy efficiency cost recovery. See EECRF Filings Table above for a listing of EECRF filings impacting revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018.

Wholesale transmission service expense increased $31 million, or 6%, to $514 million in 2019 due to higher fees paid to third-party transmission entities.

Operation and maintenance expenses increased $3 million, or 1%, to $425 million in 2019. The increase is primarily due to higher vegetation management costs of $4 million.

Depreciation and amortization increased $16 million to $350 million in 2019. The increase is primarily attributable to ongoing investments in property, plant and equipment and $6 million from plant acquired in the InfraREIT Acquisition.

Provision in lieu of income taxes totaled $49 million (including a $7 million benefit related to nonoperating income) in 2019 compared to $69 million (including a $11 million benefit related to nonoperating income) in 2018.

The effective income tax rate was 16.1% and 22.9% for the 2019 and 2018 periods, respectively. The effective tax rate on pretax income differs from the U.S. federal statutory rate of 21% primarily due to the amortization of the regulatory liability for excess deferred taxes as a result of the TCJA, partially offset by the effects of the Texas margin tax.

Taxes other than income taxes decreased $3 million, or 1%, to $243 million in 2019. The decrease is primarily due to a $15 million expense in the prior period related to recovery of certain municipal franchise fees as part of the 2017 rate review, partially offset by $4 million higher local franchise taxes and $7 million higher property taxes in the current period including $2 million related to the InfraREIT Acquistion.

Other income and (deductions) - net was $8 million favorable in 2019 compared to 2018. The variance is primarily due to Sempra acquisition related costs reflected in the prior period, partially offset by InfraREIT Acquisition related costs in the current period. See Note 10 to Financial Statements for more information.

Interest expense and related charges were $179 million and $175 million for 2019 and 2018, respectively. The current period includes a $19 million increase due to higher average borrowings including $4 million related to the InfraREIT Acquisition, partially offset by a $14 million decrease attributable to lower average interest rates.

Net income was $23 million higher than the prior period, primarily driven by a net increase in revenues that contribute to earnings including the acquisition of NTU and Sempra acquisition related costs reflected in the prior period, partially offset by InfraREIT Acquisition related costs and depreciation expense in the current period.

FINANCIAL CONDITION

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Cash Flows — Six Months Ended June 30, 2019 Compared to Six Months Ended June 30, 2018

Cash provided by operating activities totaled $355 million and $550 million in 2019 and 2018, respectively. The $195 million decrease is primarily the result of a $42 million decrease in transmission and distribution receipts, an increase in payments to third party transmission providers of $41 million, a $36 million increase in storm costs and a $24 million tax refund received in the prior period. These items were partially offset by a decrease in employee benefit plan funding of $39 million.

Cash provided by financing activities totaled $2,007 million and $346 million in 2019 and 2018, respectively. The $1,661 million increase is primarily due to debt restructuring activity in connection with the InfraREIT Acquisition that included new debt issuances and the receipt of capital contributions, partially offset by the extinguishment of certain debt of InfraREIT and its subsidiaries and the repayment of Oncor senior secured notes that matured during the period. For more details, see Notes 4, 5 and 11 to the Financial Statements.

Cash used in investing activities totaled $2,358 million and $916 million in 2019 and 2018, respectively. The $1,442 million increase is primarily due to the $1,328 million purchase price paid for the InfraREIT Acquisition and a $121 million increase in capital expenditures for transmission and distribution facilities to serve new customers and infrastructure capital maintenance spending. For more details on the purchase price paid for the InfraREIT Acquisition, see Note 11 to the Financial Statements.

Depreciation and amortization expense reported in the statements of consolidated cash flows was $41 million and $59 million more than the amounts reported in the statements of consolidated income in the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively. The differences result from certain regulatory asset amortization reported in operation and maintenance expense and taxes other than income taxes.

Long-Term Debt Activity

In May 2019, we issued (i) $351 million of NPA Notes in exchange for a like principal amount of notes issued by InfraREIT subsidiaries, (ii) $500 million aggregate principal amount of 2024 Notes, (iii) $300 million aggregate principal amount of 2028 Notes, and (iv) $500 million aggregate principal amount of 2049 Notes. Repayments of long-term debt in the six months ended June 30, 2019 consisted of our repayment of $250 million aggregate principal amount of senior secured notes due June 1, 2019 and the repayment of $488 million aggregate principal amount of certain InfraREIT-related long-term debt on May 16, 2019, in connection with and immediately following the closing of the InfraREIT Acquisition. See Note 5 to Financial Statements for more information regarding the new long-term debt issuances and long-term debt repayments.

Available Liquidity/CP Program/Credit Facility/Term Loan Credit Agreements

Available Liquidity — Our primary source of liquidity, aside from operating cash flows, has been our ability to borrow under our Credit Facility, which also supports our CP Program. Because the CP Program is supported by the Credit Facility, commercial paper outstanding is a reduction to the available borrowing capacity. Cash and cash equivalents totaled $7 million and $3 million at June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively. Considering commercial paper and letters of credit outstanding, available liquidity (cash and available Credit Facility borrowing capacity) at June 30, 2019 totaled $924 million, reflecting a decrease of $257 million from December 31, 2018 primarily due to capital spending.

CP Program — As we discuss in Note 4 to Financial Statements, in March 2018 we established the CP Program, under which we may issue unsecured commercial paper notes (CP Notes) on a private placement basis up to a maximum aggregate amount outstanding at any time of $2.0 billion. A national bank acts as the issuing and paying agent under the CP Program pursuant to the terms of an issuing and paying agent agreement. Under the CP

Program, we issue CP Notes from time to time, and the proceeds of the CP Notes are used for short-term financing of our business operations. At June 30, 2019, we had $1.073 billion of CP Notes outstanding under the CP Program.

The CP Program obtains liquidity support from our Credit Facility discussed below. If at any time funds are not available on favorable terms under the CP Program, we may utilize the Credit Facility for funding.

The maturities of the CP Notes will vary, but may not exceed 364 days from the date of issue. Interest rates will vary based upon market conditions at the time of issuance of the CP Notes and may be fixed or floating determined by reference to a base rate and spread.

Credit Facility — At June 30, 2019, we had a $2.0 billion unsecured Credit Facility to be used for working capital and general corporate purposes, issuances of letters of credit and support for commercial paper issuances that we entered into on November 17, 2017 with a five-year term expiring in November 2022. We have the option of requesting up to two one-year extensions and an option to request an increase in our borrowing capacity of $400 million, in increments of not less than $100 million, provided certain conditions are met, including lender approvals. Borrowings are classified as short-term on the balance sheet. At June 30, 2019, we had no outstanding borrowings under the Credit Facility.

Because the CP Program is supported by the Credit Facility, commercial paper outstanding reduces the available borrowing capacity. Considering the commercial paper outstanding and the limitations described below, available borrowing capacity under the Credit Facility totaled $917 million and $1.178 billion at June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively.

The Credit Facility contains customary covenants for facilities of this type, restricting, subject to certain exceptions, us and our subsidiaries from, among other things: incurring certain additional liens (not including liens relating to obligations secured pursuant to our Deed of Trust, which are permitted); entering into mergers and consolidations; sales of substantial assets and acquisitions and investments in subsidiaries. The Credit Facility also contains a senior debt-to-capitalization ratio covenant that effectively limits our ability to incur indebtedness in the future. At June 30, 2019, we were in compliance with this covenant and all other covenants in the Credit Facility. See “Credit Rating Provisions, Covenants and Cross Default Provisions” below for additional information on this covenant and the calculation of this ratio.

Under the terms of the Credit Facility, the commitments of the lenders to make loans to us are several and not joint. Accordingly, if any lender fails to make loans to us, our available liquidity could be reduced by an amount up to the aggregate amount of such lender’s commitments under the facility.

Term Loan Credit Agreements — On May 9, 2019, we entered into the Bridge Loan, a short-term, unsecured term loan credit agreement in an aggregate principal amount of up to $600 million in connection with the InfraREIT Acquisition. The Bridge Loan had a six-month term, maturing on November 9, 2019, and allowed us to make up to two borrowings under the Bridge Loan agreement. The proceeds of any borrowings under the Bridge Loan could only be used to finance the repayment of indebtedness owing by InfraREIT or its affiliates and to pay expenses and fees related to the InfraREIT Acquisition. We borrowed $600 million under the Bridge Loan on May 15, 2019 and used the proceeds to repay certain debt of InfraREIT subsidiaries. We repaid all outstanding amounts under the Bridge Loan in full on May 23, 2019. See Note 4 to Financial Statements for more information relating to the Bridge Loan and its repayment.

On December 10, 2018, we entered into an unsecured term loan credit agreement in an aggregate principal amount of $350 million. We used the proceeds (net of the fees and expenses) for general corporate purposes, including to repay notes under our CP Program. The term loan credit agreement has a 12-month term maturing on December 9, 2019, and may be extended at our option up to an additional six months. At June 30, 2019, we had outstanding borrowings of $350 million under this term loan credit agreement bearing interest at a rate per annum of 2.96%.

The term loan credit agreement contains customary covenants for facilities of this type, restricting, subject to certain exceptions, us and our subsidiaries from, among other things, incurring additional liens, entering into mergers and consolidations, and sales of substantial assets. The term loan credit agreement also contains a senior

debt-to-capitalization ratio covenant that effectively limits our ability to incur indebtedness in the future. At June 30, 2019, we were in compliance with this covenant and all other covenants in the term loan credit agreement. See “Credit Rating Provisions, Covenants and Cross Default Provisions” below for additional information on this covenant and the calculation of this ratio.

Regulatory Capital Structure — We have committed to the PUCT to maintain a regulatory capital structure at or below the assumed debt-to-equity ratio established periodically by the PUCT for ratemaking purposes, which is currently 57.5% debt to 42.5% equity. Our actual regulatory capitalization ratio was 55.0% debt to 45.0% equity at June 30, 2019. See Note 7 to Financial Statements for discussion of the regulatory capitalization ratio. Our ability to incur additional long-term debt is limited by our regulatory capital structure, as we are able to issue future long-term debt only to the extent that we are in compliance therewith.

Liquidity Needs, Including Capital Expenditures — We expect capital expenditures to total $2.1 billion in 2019 (including capital expenditures as a result of the May 2019 closing of the InfraREIT Acquisition). Management currently expects to recommend to our board of directors capital expenditures of $2.3 billion to $2.5 billion in each of the years 2020 through 2023, based on the long-term plan presented to our board of directors and anticipated additional capital projects, including capital expenditures as a result of the InfraREIT Acquisition. These capital expenditures are expected to be used for investment in transmission and distribution infrastructure.

We expect cash flows from operations, combined with cash available under the CP Program and Credit Facility, to provide sufficient liquidity to fund current obligations, projected working capital requirements, maturities of long-term debt and capital spending for at least the next twelve months. Should additional liquidity or capital requirements arise, we may need to access capital markets, generate equity capital or preserve equity through reductions or suspension of distributions to members. In addition, we may also consider new debt issuances, repurchases, exchange offers and other transactions in order to refinance or manage our long-term debt. The inability to raise capital on favorable terms or failure of counterparties to perform under credit or other financial agreements, particularly during any uncertainty in the financial markets, could impact our ability to sustain and grow the business and would likely increase capital costs that may not be recoverable through rates.

We continuously evaluate opportunities to make selective strategic acquisitions involving regulated assets. Additional equity or debt capital may be required to complete any acquisition. In addition, any acquisition may be structured in such a manner that could result in the assumption of secured or unsecured debt and other liabilities. Any such transaction may require PUCT and other regulatory approvals. An acquisition may involve risks relating to the combination of assets and facilities, the diversion of management’s attention and the impact on our credit ratings. For information on the impacts of the recently completed InfraREIT Acquisition, see Note 11 to Financial Statements.

Distributions — The PUCT order issued in the Sempra Acquisition and our limited liability company agreement set forth various restrictions on distributions to our members. Among those restrictions is the commitment that we will make no distributions that would cause us to be out of compliance with the PUCT’s approved debt-to-equity ratio which is currently 57.5% debt to 42.5% equity. The distribution restrictions also include the ability of our board, a majority of the disinterested directors, or any Texas Transmission director to limit distributions to the extent each determines it is necessary to meet expected future requirements of Oncor (including continuing compliance with the PUCT debt-to-equity ratio commitment).

At June 30, 2019, we had $612 million available to distribute to our members as our regulatory capitalization ratio was 55.0% debt to 45.0% equity.

On July 30, 2019, our board of directors declared a cash distribution of $71 million, which was paid to our members on July 31, 2019. Management recommended, and our board of directors approved, that the remaining amount available for distribution be withheld to meet expected future requirements, including our capital structure objectives. On May 1, 2019, our board of directors declared a cash distribution of $71 million, which was paid to our members on May 2, 2019. See Note 7 to Financial Statements for a discussion of distribution restrictions.

Contributions — On May 15, 2019, in connection with the InfraREIT Acquisition, we received capital contributions in an aggregate amount of $1,330 million from Sempra and certain indirect equity holders of Texas Transmission (collectively, Equity Commitment Parties) to fund the cash consideration and certain transaction expenses. These capital contributions were made pursuant to a commitment letter provided to us by the Equity Commitment Parties in October 2018 in connection with our entrance into the InfraREIT Merger Agreement that committed the Equity Commitment Parties to provide their pro rata share of capital contributions in an aggregate principal amount of up to $1,330 million. In addition, on July 29, 2019 and April 30, 2019, our members made capital contributions of $71 million and $70 million, respectively.

Pension and OPEB Plan Funding — Our funding for the pension plans and Oncor OPEB Plans in the calendar year 2019 is expected to total $41 million and $35 million, respectively. In the six months ended June 30, 2019, we made cash contributions to the pension plans and the Oncor OPEB Plans of $12 million and $18 million, respectively.

Credit Rating Provisions, Covenants and Cross Default Provision

Impact on Liquidity of Credit Ratings — The rating agencies assign credit ratings to certain of our debt securities. Our access to capital markets and cost of debt could be directly affected by our credit ratings. Any adverse action with respect to our credit ratings could generally cause borrowing costs to increase and the potential pool of investors and funding sources to decrease. In the event any adverse action with respect to our credit ratings takes place and causes borrowing costs to increase, we may not be able to recover such increased costs if they exceed our PUCT-approved cost of debt determined in our most recent rate review or subsequent rate reviews.

Most of our large suppliers and counterparties require an expected level of creditworthiness in order for them to enter into transactions with us. If our credit ratings decline, the costs to operate our business could increase because counterparties could require the posting of collateral in the form of cash-related instruments, or counterparties could decline to do business with us.

Presented below are the credit ratings assigned for our debt securities at August 2, 2019.


	Senior Secured	Commercial Paper
S&P	A+	A-1
Moody’s	A2	Prime-2
Fitch	A	F2

A rating reflects only the view of a rating agency, and is not a recommendation to buy, sell or hold securities. Ratings can be revised upward or downward at any time by a rating agency if such rating agency decides that circumstances warrant such a change.

Material Credit Rating Covenants — The Credit Facility contains terms pursuant to which the interest rates charged under the agreement may be adjusted depending on credit ratings. Borrowings under the Credit Facility bear interest at per annum rates equal to, at our option, (i) adjusted LIBOR plus a spread ranging from 0.875% to 1.50% depending on credit ratings assigned to our senior secured non-credit enhanced long-term debt or (ii) an alternate base rate (the highest of (1) the prime rate of JPMorgan Chase, (2) the federal funds effective rate plus 0.50%, and (3) adjusted LIBOR plus 1.00%) plus a spread ranging from 0.00% to 0.50% depending on credit ratings assigned to our senior secured non-credit enhanced long-term debt. Based on the ratings assigned to our senior secured debt securities at August 2, 2019, our borrowings are generally LIBOR-based and will bear interest at LIBOR plus 1.00%. A decline in credit ratings would increase the cost of borrowings under the Credit Facility and

likely increase the cost of our CP Program and any other debt issuances and additional credit facilities. The CP Program requires prompt notice to the dealer of any notice of intended or potential downgrade of our credit ratings.

Material Financial Covenants — Our Credit Facility, term loan credit agreement and the Note Purchase Agreements each contain a financial covenant that requires maintenance of a consolidated debt-to-capitalization ratio of no greater than 0.65 to 1.00. For purposes of this ratio, debt is calculated as indebtedness defined in the applicable agreement (principally, the sum of long-term debt, any capital leases (referred to as finance leases under current accounting literature), short-term debt and debt due currently in accordance with GAAP). Capitalization for our Credit Facility and term loan credit agreement is calculated as membership interests determined in accordance with GAAP plus debt described above. The ratio under our Note Purchase Agreements is calculated as total debt (all debt of the company and subsidiaries on a consolidated basis) divided by the sum of total debt plus capitalization. Capitalization under the Note Purchase Agreements is calculated as membership interests plus liabilities for indebtedness maturing more than 12 months from the date of determination, with capitalization determined in accordance with GAAP and practices applicable to our type of business. At June 30, 2019, we were in compliance with this covenant and all other covenants under the Credit Facility, term loan credit agreement and Note Purchase Agreements.

Material Cross Default Provisions — Certain financing arrangements contain provisions that may result in an event of default if there was a failure under other financing arrangements to meet payment terms or to observe other covenants that could result in an acceleration of payments due. Such provisions are referred to as “cross default” provisions.

Under the Credit Facility, our term loan credit agreement and the Note Purchase Agreements, a default by us or any subsidiary in respect of indebtedness in a principal amount in excess of $100 million or any judgments for the payment of money in excess of $100 million that are not discharged within 60 days may cause the maturity of outstanding balances under those facilities to be accelerated.

Under the Deed of Trust, an event of default under our indentures or, after all applicable notices have been given and all applicable grace periods have expired, under the Note Purchase Agreements, would permit the holders of our senior secured notes to exercise their remedies under the Deed of Trust.

Long-Term Contractual Obligations and Commitments — The following table summarizes our contractual cash obligations at June 30, 2019. See Notes 5 and 6 to Financial Statements for additional disclosures regarding long-term debt and operating lease obligations.

REGULATION AND RATES

State Legislation

The Texas Legislature meets every two years. The current Legislature was in session from January 8, 2019 to May 27, 2019. However, at any time, the governor of Texas may convene a special session of the Legislature. During the 2019 regular legislative session, no legislation passed that is expected to have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Matters with the PUCT

For the status of regulatory proceedings related to DCRF (PUCT Docket No. 49427), the TCJA (Docket Nos. 48325 and 49160) and the AMS Final Reconciliation (PUCT Docket No. 49721), see Note 2 to Financial Statements. On May 9, 2019, the PUCT issued a final order in Docket No. 48929 approving the transactions contemplated by the InfraREIT Acquisition, including the SDTS-SU Asset Exchange, and the Sempra-Sharyland Transaction. For more information on the InfraREIT Acquisition, see Note 11 to Financial Statements.

Summary

We cannot predict future regulatory or legislative actions or any changes in economic and securities market conditions. Such actions or changes could significantly alter our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Interest Rate Risk

Market risk is the risk that we may experience a loss in value as a result of changes in market conditions such as interest rates that may be experienced in the ordinary course of business. We may transact in financial instruments to hedge interest rate risk related to our debt, but there are currently no such hedges in place. All of our long-term debt (except for the $350 million term loan credit agreement) at June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 carried fixed interest rates. The term loan credit agreement contains terms pursuant to which the interest rate charged can vary, at our option, depending on the selected interest period.

The Credit Facility contains terms pursuant to which the interest rates charged under the agreement may be adjusted depending on credit ratings. Borrowings under the CP Program may bear interest on a fixed rate or floating rate basis and will vary based on market conditions at the time of borrowings. For information on our interest rates charged under the CP Program and Credit Facility, see Note 6 to Financial Statements in our 2018 Form 10-K.

Except as discussed below, the information required hereunder is not significantly different from the information set forth in “Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk” in our 2018 Form 10-K and is therefore not presented herein.

Credit Risk

Credit risk relates to the risk of loss associated with nonperformance by counterparties. Our customers consist primarily of REPs. As a prerequisite for obtaining and maintaining certification, a REP must meet the financial resource standards established by the PUCT. Meeting these standards does not guarantee that a REP will be able to perform its obligations. REP certificates granted by the PUCT are subject to suspension and revocation for significant violation of PURA and PUCT rules. Significant violations include failure to timely remit payments for invoiced charges to a transmission and distribution utility pursuant to the terms of tariffs approved by the PUCT. We believe PUCT rules that allow for the recovery of uncollectible amounts due from nonaffiliated REPs through rates significantly reduce our credit risk.

Our exposure to credit risk associated with trade accounts receivable from nonaffiliates totaled $656 million at June 30, 2019. The nonaffiliated receivable balance is before the allowance for uncollectible accounts, which totaled $4 million at June 30, 2019. The nonaffiliated exposure includes trade accounts receivable from REPs totaling $475 million, which are almost entirely noninvestment grade. At June 30, 2019, REP subsidiaries of our two largest customers represented 13% and 10% of the trade receivable balance, respectively. No other parties represented 10% or more of the nonaffiliated total trade accounts receivable balance. We view our exposure to these customers to be within an acceptable level of risk tolerance considering PUCT rules and regulations; however, this concentration increases the risk that a default could have a material effect on cash flows.

Our net exposure to credit risk associated with trade accounts and other receivables from affiliates was zero at both June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This report and other presentations made by us contain “forward-looking statements.” All statements, other than statements of historical facts, that are included in this report, or made in presentations, in response to questions or otherwise, that address activities, events or developments that we expect or anticipate to occur in the future, including such matters as projections, capital allocation, future capital expenditures, business strategy, competitive strengths, goals, future acquisitions or dispositions, development or operation of facilities, market and industry developments and the growth of our business and operations (often, but not always, through the use of words or phrases such as “intends,” “plans,” “will likely result,” “are expected to,” “will continue,” “is anticipated,” “estimated,” “should,” “projection,” “target,” “goal,” “objective” and “outlook”), are forward-looking statements. Although we believe that in making any such forward-looking statement our expectations are based on reasonable assumptions, any such forward-looking statement involves uncertainties and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the discussion of risk factors under “Item 1A. Risk Factors ” and “Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" in our 2018 Form 10-K, “Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" in this report and the following important factors, among others, that could cause actual results to differ materially from those projected in such forward-looking statements:

prevailing governmental policies and regulatory actions, including those of the U.S. Congress, the President of the U.S., the Texas Legislature, the Governor of Texas, the FERC, the PUCT, the North American Electric Reliability Corporation, the Texas RE, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, and the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality, with respect to:

allowed rate of return;

permitted capital structure;

industry, market and rate structure;

recovery of investments;

acquisition and disposal of assets and facilities;

operation and construction of facilities;

changes in tax laws and policies, including the impact of the TCJA; and

changes in and compliance with environmental, reliability and safety laws and policies;

legal and administrative proceedings and settlements, including the exercise of equitable powers by courts;

weather conditions and other natural phenomena;

acts of sabotage, wars or terrorist or cyber security threats or activities;

economic conditions, including the impact of a recessionary environment;

unanticipated population growth or decline, or changes in market demand and demographic patterns, particularly in ERCOT;

changes in business strategy, development plans or vendor relationships;

unanticipated changes in interest rates or rates of inflation;

unanticipated changes in operating expenses, liquidity needs and capital expenditures;

inability of various counterparties to meet their financial obligations to us, including failure of counterparties to perform under agreements;

general industry trends;

hazards customary to the industry and the possibility that we may not have adequate insurance to cover losses resulting from such hazards;

changes in technology used by and services offered by us;

significant changes in our relationship with our employees, including the availability of qualified personnel, and the potential adverse effects if labor disputes or grievances were to occur;

changes in assumptions used to estimate costs of providing employee benefits, including pension and OPEB, and future funding requirements related thereto;

significant changes in critical accounting policies material to us;

commercial bank and financial market conditions, access to capital, the cost of such capital, and the results of financing and refinancing efforts, including availability of funds in the capital markets and the potential impact of disruptions in U.S. credit markets;

circumstances which may contribute to future impairment of goodwill, intangible or other long-lived assets;

financial restrictions under our revolving credit facility, term loan credit agreement, note purchase agreements, and indentures governing our debt instruments;

our ability to generate sufficient cash flow to make interest payments on our debt instruments;

actions by credit rating agencies; and

our ability to effectively execute our operational strategy.

In addition, such forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements about the InfraREIT Acquisition, and any of the applicable parties’ post-acquisition plans and intentions, and other statements that are not historical facts. The following important factors, among others, could cause actual results to differ materially from those set forth in the forward-looking statements:

the risk that the businesses will not be integrated successfully;

the risk that any potential cost savings and any other potential synergies from the InfraREIT Acquisition may not be fully realized or may take longer to realize than expected; and

the diversion of management time and attention to issues related to the InfraREIT Acquisition.

Any forward-looking statement speaks only at the date on which it is made, and, except as may be required by law, we undertake no obligation to update any forward-looking statement to reflect events or circumstances after the date on which it is made or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events. New factors emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for us to predict all of them; nor can we assess the impact of each such factor or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statement. As such, you should not unduly rely on such forward-looking statements.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

An evaluation was performed under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including the principal executive officer and principal financial officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the disclosure controls and procedures in effect at the end of the current period included in this quarterly report. Based on the evaluation performed, our management, including the principal executive officer and principal financial officer, concluded that the disclosure controls and procedures were effective. That evaluation excluded the impacts of the InfraREIT Acquisition, which closed May 16, 2019. SEC interpretive guidance permits management to exclude an assessment of an acquired business' internal control over financial reporting from management's assessments of internal control over financial reporting and disclosure controls and procedures for a period not to exceed one year from the date of the acquisition. While management has begun an evaluation of controls and procedures relating to the impacts of the InfraREIT Acquisition, such evaluation is not complete, and as a result we excluded the impacts of the InfraREIT Acquisition from our evaluation as of June 30, 2019.

We have reported the operating results of the entities acquired in the InfraREIT Acquisition in our condensed statements of consolidated income and condensed statements of consolidated cash flows from the closing date on May 16, 2019 through June 30, 2019. As of June 30, 2019, total assets related to entities acquired in the InfraREIT Acquisition represented approximately 10% of our total assets, recorded on a preliminary basis as the measurement period for the business combination remained open as of June 30, 2019. Revenues from entities acquired in the InfraREIT Acquisition comprised 3% of our consolidated revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2019.

Other than the InfraREIT Acquisition, there has been no other change in our internal control over financial reporting during the most recently completed fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

Reference is made to the discussion in Notes 2 and 6 to Financial Statements regarding regulatory and legal proceedings.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

There are numerous factors that affect our business and results of operations, many of which are beyond our control. In addition to the other information set forth in this report, including “Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” you should carefully consider the factors discussed in “Part I, Item 1A. Risk Factors” in our 2018 Form 10-K, as well as the risk factor discussed below, which could materially affect our business, financial condition or future results. The risks described in such reports are not the only risks we face.

We may not be able to integrate the business of InfraREIT successfully with our own or realize the anticipated benefits of the acquisition.

The InfraREIT Acquisition was completed on May 16, 2019 and involved the acquisition of a business that owned primarily regulated electric transmission and distribution assets and previously operated as an independent company. We have devoted, and expect to continue to devote, significant management attention and resources to integrating the acquired entities and assets into our business. We may encounter difficulties in the integration process that could have an adverse impact on Oncor, and any potential cost savings, synergies or other benefits from the transaction may not be fully realized or may take longer to realize than expected. In addition, some of the assets that we acquired have yet to undergo prudence review by the PUCT. There can be no assurance that the PUCT will judge all of the costs related to those assets to have been prudently incurred.
