Earnings drivers year-over-year for the second quarter 2017 were positively influenced by Southern Company Gas, which was acquired on July 1, 2016 and retail revenue effects at Southern Company’s traditional electric operating companies. Earnings were negatively influenced by mild weather, increased interest expense and share issuances.

“Our premier state-regulated electric and gas operating companies performed well during the second quarter,” said Chairman, President and CEO Thomas A. Fanning. “This consistency in our core operations has been a hallmark of the Southern Company system and reflects our long-standing commitment to keep customers at the center of all we do as we continue to deliver safe, clean, reliable and affordable energy to the constituents we are privileged to serve.”

Second quarter 2017 operating revenues were $5.43 billion, compared with $4.46 billion for the second quarter of 2016, an increase of 21.8 percent. Southern Company Gas accounted for $716 million of the increase in operating revenues for the second quarter of 2017. For the six months ended June 30, 2017, operating revenues were $11.20 billion, compared with $8.45 billion, an increase of 32.6 percent. Southern Company Gas accounted for $2.28 billion of the increase in operating revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2017.

Southern Company’s second quarter earnings slides with supplemental financial information are available at http://investor.southerncompany.com.

Southern Company’s financial analyst call will begin at 1 p.m. Eastern Time today, during which Fanning and Chief Financial Officer Art P. Beattie will discuss earnings and provide a general business update.

Financial Highlights

Notes

- In connection with the adoption in the fourth quarter 2016 of a new accounting standard for stock compensation, previously reported amounts for income tax expense were reduced by a total of $11.3 million and $15.8 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, respectively.

- For comparative purposes, Net Income - Excluding Items and Basic Earnings Per Share - Excluding Items in prior year periods do not reflect any adjustments to exclude acquisition debt financing costs ($0.03 per share for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016) related to the acquisition of Southern Company Gas. This item was not contemplated in Southern Company's February 2016 guidance and was excluded in the previously reported periods through December 31, 2016.

(1) On July 1, 2016, Southern Company completed the acquisition of Southern Company Gas.

(2) For the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, dilution does not change basic earnings per share by more than 1 cent and is not material.

(3) Earnings for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016 include the estimated losses relating to Mississippi Power Company's integrated coal gasification combined cycle facility construction project in Kemper County, Mississippi (Kemper IGCC) which significantly impacted the presentation of earnings and earnings per share. Further charges of uncertain amounts may occur in future periods in connection with the resolution of the Mississippi Public Service Commission's Kemper Settlement Docket.

(4) Earnings for the six months ended June 30, 2017 include a $32.5 million write-down ($20 million after tax) of Gulf Power Company's ownership of Plant Scherer Unit 3 as a result of the retail rate case settlement approved by the Florida Public Service Commission on April 4, 2017. Further charges are not expected to occur.

(5) Earnings for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016 include costs related to the acquisition and integration of Southern Company Gas. Further costs are expected to continue to occur in connection with the related integration activities; however, the amount and duration of such expenditures is uncertain.

(6) Earnings for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 include the Wholesale Gas Services business of Southern Company Gas. Presenting earnings and earnings per share excluding Wholesale Gas Services provides investors with an additional measure of operating performance that excludes the volatility resulting from mark-to-market and lower of weighted average cost or current market price accounting adjustments.

(7) Earnings for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 include additional allowance for funds used during construction (AFUDC) equity as a result of extending the schedule for the Kemper IGCC construction project. AFUDC equity ceased as of the project's suspension in June 2017. Southern Company's 2017 earnings guidance, initially presented in October 2016 assumed construction would be complete and AFUDC equity would cease by November 30, 2016. As a result, Southern Company believes presentation of earnings per share excluding these amounts provides investors with information comparable to the 2017 guidance. Management also uses such measures to evaluate Southern Company's performance in 2017.

Notes

- In connection with the adoption in the fourth quarter 2016 of a new accounting standard for stock compensation, previously reported amounts for income tax expense were reduced by a total of $11.3 million and $15.8 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, respectively.

- For comparative purposes, Basic Earnings Per Share - Excluding Items in prior year periods does not reflect any adjustments to exclude acquisition debt financing costs ($0.03 per share for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016) related to the acquisition of Southern Company Gas. This item was not contemplated in Southern Company's February 2016 guidance and was excluded in the previously reported periods through December 31, 2016.

(1) For the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, dilution does not change basic earnings per share by more than 1 cent and is not material.

(2) On July 1, 2016, Southern Company completed the acquisition of Southern Company Gas.

(3) Per share changes for each of the business segments reported in this table are calculated based on average shares outstanding as of June 30, 2016. The per share change attributable to Increase in Shares reflects the impact of the increase in average shares outstanding from June 30, 2016 through June 30, 2017. Because Southern Company reported a net loss for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2017, the dilutive impact of the increase of average shares outstanding for these periods served to reduce the net loss per share.

(4) Earnings for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016 include the estimated losses relating to Mississippi Power Company's integrated coal gasification combined cycle facility construction project in Kemper County, Mississippi (Kemper IGCC) which significantly impacted the presentation of earnings and earnings per share. Further charges of uncertain amounts may occur in future periods in connection with the resolution of the Mississippi Public Service Commission's Kemper Settlement Docket.

(6) Earnings for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016 include costs related to the acquisition and integration of Southern Company Gas. Further costs are expected to continue to occur in connection with the related integration activities; however, the amount and duration of such expenditures is uncertain.

(7) Earnings for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 include the Wholesale Gas Services business of Southern Company Gas.
