Duke Energy Reports Third-Quarter 2007 Results

 

  •  

Ongoing diluted earnings per share (EPS) of 48 cents versus 29 cents in the prior year’s quarter.

  •  

Company expects year-end EPS to be well above the 2007 employee ongoing diluted incentive target of $1.15.

  •  

Reported diluted EPS of 48 cents versus 60 cents in the previous year’s quarter, which included the results from Spectra Energy.

CHARLOTTE, N.C. – Duke Energy today reported ongoing diluted earnings per share (EPS) of 48 cents for third-quarter 2007, significantly higher than the 29 cents per share posted in third-quarter 2006.

Hotter than normal weather throughout Duke Energy’s U.S. service territory was a primary driver behind the company’s strong quarter-over-quarter performance. U.S. Franchised Electric and Gas (USFE&G) and Commercial Power increased earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT) by $82 million and $64 million, respectively.

“In our regulated business, we met our customers’ record demand for power in the Carolinas and Midwest with superior operational performance,” said James E. Rogers, Duke Energy chairman, president and CEO. “Our other businesses, Commercial Power and International, also performed exceedingly well. Based on these results, we expect our annual earnings to finish well above our 2007 employee incentive target of $1.15 ongoing diluted EPS.”

The company reported third-quarter 2007 diluted EPS of 48 cents, or $607 million in net income, substantially all from continuing operations. This compares to 60 cents reported diluted EPS in third-quarter 2006, or $763 million in net income, which included 38 cents from continuing operations and 22 cents from discontinued operations (primarily the natural gas operations that were spun off to become Spectra Energy).

BUSINESS UNIT RESULTS

U.S. Franchised Electric and Gas (USFE&G)

USFE&G reported third-quarter 2007 segment EBIT from continuing operations of $760 million, compared to $678 million in the prior year. The EBIT increase over the prior year’s quarter was primarily driven by favorable weather, the completion of rate credits related to the Cinergy merger and additional long-term wholesale contracts. Both the Carolinas and the Midwest experienced record-setting temperatures during August and September 2007.

These increases were partially offset by additional regulatory amortization and higher operation and maintenance costs.

The outstanding performance of the nuclear fleet played an important role in the company’s ability to respond to the summer-long heat wave in the Carolinas, which resulted in record customer demand. Duke Energy’s seven-unit nuclear fleet set an all-time operating record with 107 consecutive days online, surpassing the previous record of 89 days. The run began with the completion of the Oconee unit 2 refueling outage and ended with the planned shutdown of Catawba unit 2 for refueling on Sept. 15.

Year-to-date segment EBIT from continuing operations for USFE&G was $1,786 million, compared to $1,388 million in 2006.

 

Commercial Power

For third-quarter 2007, Commercial Power reported segment EBIT of $121 million from continuing operations, compared to $57 million in the prior year’s quarter.

Commercial Power’s improved results were driven by improved retail margins resulting mainly from the timing of the recovery of fuel and purchased power costs, higher overall prices and favorable weather. The Midwest gas-fired assets also contributed to Commercial Power’s improved results due to increased generation and higher revenues from capacity and tolling agreements.

This contribution was partially offset by higher costs associated with increased synfuel production.

Year-to-date segment EBIT from continuing operations for Commercial Power was $147 million, compared to $50 million in 2006.

 

2

 

Duke Energy International (DEI)

For third-quarter 2007, DEI reported segment EBIT from continuing operations of $92 million, compared to $68 million in last year’s third quarter. DEI’s improved results for the quarter were driven primarily by higher margins in Peru, partially offset by lower volumes in Argentina.

Year-to-date segment EBIT from continuing operations for DEI was $283 million, compared with $178 million in 2006.

 

Crescent Resources

Crescent Resources reported third-quarter 2007 segment EBIT from continuing operations of $10 million, compared to $300 million in the previous year’s quarter.

Last year’s third-quarter results included a one-time $246 million gain related to the creation of a joint-venture partnership in Crescent Resources LLC.

The lower current-year results reflect the September 2006 change from 100 percent ownership to an effective 50-50 joint venture. Reduced residential developed lot sales and legacy land sales also contributed to the segment’s lower results.

Year-to-date segment EBIT from continuing operations for Crescent Resources was $29 million, compared with $515 million in 2006.

 

Other

Other primarily includes costs associated with corporate governance, merger costs-to-achieve and Duke Energy’s captive insurance company, Bison Insurance Co. Ltd.

Other reported a third-quarter 2007 net expense from continuing operations of $44 million, compared to $151 million in the prior year’s quarter. The reduction was primarily due to lower costs related to captive insurance, reduced corporate governance costs and a benefit associated with contract settlement negotiations.

The year-to-date net expense from continuing operations for Other was $194 million, compared with a $355 million net expense from continuing operations in 2006.

 

Discontinued Operations

In third-quarter 2007, Discontinued Operations had a net-of-tax loss of $4 million, compared to a third-quarter 2006 after-tax income of $282 million. The 2006 results include after-tax earnings of $231 million related to Spectra Energy, which was spun off to shareholders in January 2007.

 

INTEREST EXPENSE

Interest expense from continuing operations remained relatively flat, at $178 million for third-quarter 2007, compared to $182 million for the third quarter of 2006.

Interest expense from continuing operations was $502 million for year-to-date 2007, compared to $470 million for year-to-date 2006.

 

INCOME TAX EXPENSE

Third-quarter 2007 income tax expense from continuing operations was $223 million, compared to $310 million in third-quarter 2006. The effective tax rate for the quarter decreased to approximately 27 percent from approximately 39 percent in the prior-year quarter. The lower effective tax rate reflects the recognition of $66 million in synfuel tax credits in the current-year quarter.

Year-to-date income tax expense from continuing operations was $447 million compared to $469 million in 2006.

 

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

The primary performance measure used by management to evaluate segment performance is segment EBIT from continuing operations, which at the segment level represents all profits from continuing operations (both operating and nonoperating), including any equity in earnings of unconsolidated affiliates, before deducting interest and taxes, and is net of the minority interest expense related to those profits. Management believes segment EBIT from continuing operations, which is the GAAP measure used to report segment

results, is a good indicator of each segment’s operating performance as it represents the results of Duke Energy’s ownership interests in continuing operations without regard to financing methods or capital structures.

Duke Energy’s management uses ongoing diluted EPS, which is a non-GAAP financial measure as it represents diluted EPS from continuing operations, adjusted for the impact of special items, as a measure to evaluate operations of the company. Special items represent certain charges and credits, which management believes will not be recurring on a regular basis. Management believes that the presentation of ongoing diluted EPS provides useful information to investors, as it allows them to more accurately compare the company’s ongoing performance across periods. Ongoing diluted EPS is also used as a basis for employee incentive bonuses.

The most directly comparable GAAP measure for ongoing diluted EPS is reported diluted EPS from continuing operations, which includes the impact of special items. Due to the forward-looking nature of ongoing diluted EPS for future periods, information to reconcile such non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure is not available at this time, as the company is unable to forecast any special items for future periods.

Duke Energy also uses ongoing segment (including ongoing equity earnings for Crescent Resources) and Other EBIT, including diluted-EPS-equivalent amounts, as a measure of historical and anticipated future segment and other performance. When used for future periods, ongoing segment and Other EBIT may also include any amounts that may be reported as discontinued operations. Ongoing segment and Other EBIT are non-GAAP financial measures, as they represent reported segment and Other EBIT adjusted for special items. Management believes that the presentation of ongoing segment and Other EBIT provides useful information to investors, as it allows them to more accurately compare a segment’s or Other’s ongoing performance across all periods. The most directly comparable GAAP measure for ongoing segment or Other EBIT is reported segment or Other EBIT, which represents EBIT from continuing operations, including any special items. Due to the forward-looking nature of any forecasted ongoing segment or Other EBIT and any related growth rates for future periods, information to reconcile these non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures is not available at this time, as the company is unable to forecast any special items or any amounts that may be reported as discontinued operations for future periods.
