Spectra Energy Reports First Quarter 2007 Results

 

   

First quarter ongoing net income up 10 percent to $240 million; reported net income up 6 percent to $236 million

 

   

Ongoing net income per diluted share (EPS) of $0.38; reported EPS of $0.37

 

   

Strong operational performance in U.S. Transmission and Distribution businesses offset by impact of severe weather and lower commodity prices on Field Services

 

   

Quarterly dividend of $0.22 paid

HOUSTON – Spectra Energy (NYSE: SE) today reported first quarter 2007 net income of $236 million, or $0.37 per diluted share, compared with net income of $222 million in first quarter 2006. Results include negative impacts of special items of $4 million in first quarter 2007, and positive impacts of special items and discontinued operations of $3 million in the prior year quarter.


Ongoing net income was up 10 percent over first quarter 2006. This reflects strong ongoing operational results in both the U.S. Transmission and Distribution businesses; lower tax rates, partially offset by severe weather impacts on operations and lower commodity pricing for the Field Services segment.

On January 2, 2007, Duke Energy Corporation (Duke Energy) completed the spin-off of its natural gas businesses which became Spectra Energy Corp. Prior year results are those of Spectra Energy Capital, LLC (Duke Capital in 2006), which is the financial statement predecessor of Spectra Energy Corp.

“In our first quarter as an independent company, our core results were strong despite the challenging weather and lower commodity prices at Field Services. We continue to be excited about the growth opportunities that lie ahead for Spectra Energy and are focused on our three year, $3 billion capital expansion plan, which we expect to drive our 5 to 7 percent annual ongoing diluted EPS growth for 2007 through 2009,” said Fred J. Fowler, president and chief executive officer of Spectra Energy. “We are committed to delivering results to shareholders with solid, steady growth and an attractive dividend.”

BUSINESS UNIT RESULTS

U.S. Transmission

The U.S. Transmission segment is comprised of more than 12,800 miles of transmission pipelines and 115 billion cubic feet of storage capacity serving customers in various regions of the Northeast and Southeast United States.

U.S. Transmission reported first quarter 2007 segment EBIT of $220 million, compared with $235 million in first quarter 2006. The decrease was primarily due to $24 million received from the settlement of a customer’s transportation contract in 2006 which is reported as a favorable special item.

Excluding the special item noted above, ongoing EBIT for first quarter 2007 was $220 million, compared with $211 million in the previous year’s quarter. The increase was primarily attributable to a combination of lower operating expenses due to capitalization of project development costs, and favorable resolution of ad valorem tax issues, and higher revenues from improved storage prices and expansion projects. These increases were partially offset by decreased earnings from lower gas processing volumes associated with pipeline operations.


U.S. Transmission’s Maritimes & Northeast Pipeline, L.L.C. (Maritimes) unit received approval from the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) to double its capacity to accommodate supplies of natural gas sourced from the Canaport TM LNG receiving and re-gasification terminal in Saint John, New Brunswick. In addition, the FERC approved Maritimes’ request to amend its Presidential Permit to allow increased imported volumes of natural gas from Canada and to construct and operate an additional interconnection at the US-Canadian border.

Distribution

Spectra Energy’s Distribution segment, through its Union Gas subsidiary, provides natural gas distribution service to commercial, industrial and residential customers in Ontario, as well as storage and transportation services for other utilities and end market participants in Ontario, Quebec, and the United States.

Distribution reported a strong first quarter 2007 segment EBIT of $144 million, compared with $118 million in the first quarter of 2006, or a 22 percent increase. This increase is primarily attributable to more normal winter weather, compared with the prior year period, as well as higher storage prices and increased distribution rates.

Distribution margins were higher as a result of an increase in 2007 rates. In addition, natural gas usage increased as a result of weather that was nearly 12 percent colder in the 2007 first quarter than the previous year period, and storage revenues increased as a result of higher storage prices.


Western Canada Transmission & Processing

Spectra Energy’s Western Canada Transmission & Processing business is focused on the gathering, processing and transmission of natural gas, and the extraction, fractionation, transportation, storage and marketing of natural gas liquids.

Western Canada Transmission & Processing reported first quarter 2007 segment EBIT of $74 million, compared with $82 million in the first quarter 2006. The decrease is primarily a result of lower processing revenues, mainly due to reduced producer activity in the Fort Nelson area, as well as higher operating expenses, a portion of which were timing related. Higher natural gas liquids margins realized for the Empress marketing operations partly offset these decreases.

Field Services

Field Services consists of Spectra Energy’s 50 percent investment in DCP Midstream, a gathering and processing, transportation, storage and marketing company.

The Field Services business segment reported first quarter 2007 EBIT of $82 million, compared with $144 million in first quarter 2006. These earnings include special items of $3 million in costs associated with the initiative to create stand-alone corporate functions in the 2007 period, and a gain on the sale of assets of $14 million in the 2006 first quarter. Excluding these amounts, ongoing EBIT was $85 million, compared with $130 million in the prior year’s first quarter.

Lower results were primarily due to the impact of severe winter storms on volumes and plant operations, lower commodity prices and strong gas marketing margins in the first quarter of last year.

 


Other

“Other” is primarily comprised of corporate costs and a wholly owned captive insurance subsidiary.

“Other” reported net costs of $15 million in the first quarter of 2007, compared with net costs of $49 million in the first quarter of 2006. The 2007 period includes separation costs of $3 million. Prior year results include mark-to-market losses of $24 million on hedge contracts associated with the earnings of the Field Services segment. These contracts expired at the end of 2006. The remaining improvement over the prior year quarter resulted primarily from lower corporate costs, including a favorable resolution in the first quarter 2007 of a legal matter.

Interest Expense

Interest expense was $155 million for the quarter, compared with $143 million for the first quarter 2006, increasing largely as a result of interest costs capitalized in the prior period for capital projects of businesses transferred to Duke Energy.

Income Taxes

First quarter 2007 income tax expenses from continuing operations were $119 million, compared with $148 million in the first quarter of 2006. For the 2007 quarter, Spectra Energy’s effective tax rate was 34 percent, which represents an improvement from the prior period rate of 38 percent. The decrease was primarily a result of certain corporate and debt costs in 2006 for which no tax benefit was received by Spectra Energy Capital, LLC (Duke Capital in 2006). There was no tax-sharing arrangement in place between Duke Energy and Duke Capital until the second quarter of 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 non-operating), 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 our ownership interests in continuing operations without regard to financing methods or capital structures.


Spectra 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.

Spectra Energy also uses ongoing segment and Other EBIT 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.


Forward-looking statement

This release includes “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.
