FINANCIAL INFORMATION (Continued) ------------------------------------------ CITIZENS UTILITIES COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES ------------------------------------------- Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and --------------------------------------------------------------- Results of Operations --------------------- (a) Liquidity and Capital Resources ------------------------------- The primary source of funds was from operations. The company considers operating cash flows and its ability to raise debt and equity capital as the principal indicators of its liquidity. Although the level of working capital is not considered to be an indicator of the company's liquidity, the company experiences an improvement in working capital at September 30, 1993 as compared to December 31, 1992 primarily due to funds from operations which were partially applied against the accounts payable balance at December 31, 1992 resulting from Hurricane Inicki. The company used funds from operations, from 1993, 1992 and 1991 Industrial Development Revenue Bond construction fund trust accounts and from customer advances to pay for the construction of utility plant. Commercial paper notes payable in the amount of $46,730,000 were outstanding as of September 30, 1993. The company has committed lines of credit with commercial banks under which it may borrow up to $200,000,000. On May 19, 1993, the company and GTE Corporation announced the signing of ten definitive agreements in which the company will purchase from GTE Corporation, for $1.1 billion in cash, telephone operations serving approximately 500,000 access lines in nine states. These transactions are consistent with the company's growth strategy, will enable the company to achieve operating economies of scale and increase the company's annual revenues to more than $1 billion. These transactions require the approval of the Federal Communications Commission and the regulatory commissions of the nine states in which the properties are located. The transfers of operations are expected to take place state by state and be completed in part during 1993, with the remaining closings expected to be concluded in 1994. The company has received approval from the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission to issue up to $1.25 billion in various forms of securities over the next two years to fund the acquisition of the GTE properties and for other corporate requirements. In addition, the company anticipates filing a shelf-registration statement with the Securities Exchange Commission to offer, from time to time, up to $1 billion in securities to fund the acquisition of GTE telephone operations and for other corporate requirements. On October 6, 1993 the company announced that it has entered into a definitive merger agreement with Natural Gas Company of Louisiana (NGL). Under the terms of the agreement, each of NGL's almost 60,000 outstanding shares will be exchanged for approximately 10.4 shares of Citizens' Series B common stock, for an aggregate value of $10.6 million. The completion of the merger is subject to, among other things, receipt of regulatory and NGL shareholder approvals. The approval of Citizens shareholders is not required. NGL is a local gas distribution company serving approximately 15,500 customers in Louisiana. Upon completion of the merger, NGL will operate as part of Citizens' Louisiana gas division. During the nine months ended September 30, 1993, the company was authorized net increases in annual revenues for properties in California, Hawaii, Illinois, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Arizona and Vermont totaling $10,368,000. The company has requests for increases in annual revenues pending before regulatory commissions in Arizona, California, Pennsylvania and Vermont. -7- (b) Results of Operations --------------------- Operating revenues for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 1993 increased compared with the like 1992 periods primarily due to increased natural gas, electric and water/wastewater revenues. Natural gas revenues for the quarter totaled $33,772,000, a 7% increase over the 1992 amount of $31,422,000. The increase was primarily due to $253,000 of increased average revenue per MCF of gas sold to industrial customers and $2,097,000 of increased volume of natural gas sold to industrial customers. Natural gas revenues for the nine months totaled $141,483,000, a 10% increase over the 1992 amount of $128,052,000. The increase was primarily due to $6,168,000 of increased average revenue per MCF of gas sold to industrial customers and $9,407,000 of pass-ons of increases in the wholesale costs of commodities purchased to residential and commercial customers. Electric revenues for the quarter totaled $46,175,000, a 18% increase over the 1992 amount of $39,094,000. The increase was primarily due to $2,858,000 of rate increases, $548,000 of pass-ons to customers of increases in the wholesale costs of commodities purchased, $779,000 of customer growth and increased customer usage. Electric revenues for the nine months totaled $126,720,000, a 18% increase over the 1992 amount of $107,510,000. The increase was primarily due to $9,250,000 of rate increases, $414,000 of pass-ons to customers of increases in the wholesale costs of commodities purchased, $284,000 of customer growth and increased customer usage. Pass-ons are required under tariff provisions and do not affect net income. Water/wastewater revenues for the quarter totaled $18,082,000, a 12% increase over the 1992 amount of $16,205,000. The increase was primarily due to $704,000 of rate increases, $824,000 of customer growth and increased usage per customer; in addition to $340,000 of revenues received from water/wastewater properties acquired in December 1992. Water/wastewater revenues for the nine months totaled $48,843,000, a 10% increase over the 1992 amount of $44,423,000. The increase was primarily due to $1,506,000 of rate increases, $1,973,000 of customer growth and increased usage per customer; in addition to $955,000 of revenues received from water/wastewater properties acquired in December 1992. Telecommunications revenues for the quarter totaled $45,616,000, a 12% decrease compared to the 1992 amount of $51,658,000. The decrease was primarily due to $7,485,000 of regulatory changes in the state of California, as referenced in the company's 1992 Annual Report, Form 10-K; partially offset by $617,000 of increased local revenues as a result of customer growth and $907,000 of increased toll revenues as a result of increased toll calls completed. Telecommunications revenues for the nine months totaled $133,091,000, a 7% decrease compared to the 1992 amount of $143,147,000. The decrease was primarily due to $12,216,000 from the company exiting the toll settlement pools, as referenced in the company's 1992 Annual Report, Form 10-K; partially offset by $2,166,000 of increased local revenues as a result of customer growth and $854,000 of increased toll revenues as a result of increased toll calls completed. Operating expenses for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 1993 increased compared with the like 1992 periods primarily due to increased commodities purchased for resale offset in part by decreases in telecommunications operating expenses. Natural gas purchased increased due to higher supplier prices for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 1993 and increased customer demand for the three months ended September 30, 1993. Electric energy and fuel oil purchased increased primarily due to increased supplier prices and customer demand. Depreciation expense for the nine months ended September 30, 1993 increased compared to the like 1992 period primarily due to increased investment in plant in service. Other income, net for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 1993 increased compared with the like 1992 periods primarily due to an increase in the allowance for funds used during construction as a result of increased property, plant and equipment, as well as, an increase in investment income from the Company's Centennial investment. Interest expense for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 1993 decreased compared with the like 1992 periods primarily due to the refinancing of higher-coupon First Mortgage Bonds with lower cost debentures and increased allowance for funds used during construction which is related to borrowings; partially offset by an increase in industrial development revenue bond borrowings. Income taxes for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 1993 increased compared with the like 1992 periods primarily due to increased taxable income. -8- PART II.
