Major factors influencing the period to period change in EPS -- Favorable/(Unfavorable)
 
 
A
Due primarily to lower residential and commercial sales because of milder weather in 2017

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
B
Due primarily to: higher operating and maintenance costs at coal fired plants mainly from scheduled outages -- ($3.6M); higher operating expense due to start of Western Plains Wind Farm -- ($1.3M); partially offset by a decrease in nuclear operating and maintenance costs due primarily to receipt of proceeds from a legal settlement at Wolf Creek -- $4.6M
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
C
Due principally to property additions at Western Plains Wind Farm in March 2017
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
D
Due primarily to: decrease in merger-related expense -- $7.5M; and decrease in employee benefit costs attributable partially to having fewer employees -- $4.9M

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
E
Due primarily to decreased property tax amortization expense that is largely offset by decreased prices --
$6.7M

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
F
Due primarily to a decrease in equity AFUDC -- ($2.8M)

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
G
Due primarily to: an increase in interest expense of long-term debt from issuances of FMBs during June 2016 -- ($2.8M); and a decrease in debt AFUDC -- ($1.4M)
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
H
Due primarily to an increase in tax benefits from production tax credits from Western Plains Wind Farm

Major factors influencing the period to period change in EPS -- Favorable/(Unfavorable)
 
 
A
Due primarily to lower residential and commercial sales because of milder weather in 2017 and one less calendar day due to 2016 being a leap year

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
B
Due primarily to: higher distribution maintenance expense -- ($5.6M); higher operating and maintenance costs at coal fired plants due primarily to scheduled outage -- ($3.1M); higher operating expense due to start of Western Plains Wind Farm -- ($1.7M); partially offset by a decrease in nuclear operating and maintenance costs due primarily to receipt of proceeds from a legal settlement at Wolf Creek -- $6.0M


 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
C
Due principally to property additions at Western Plains Wind Farm in March 2017


 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
D
Due primarily to: decrease in merger-related expense -- $7.1M; and decrease in employee benefit costs attributable partially to having fewer employees -- $3.1M


 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
E
Due primarily to decreased property tax amortization expense that is largely offset by decreased prices --
$13.4M




 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
F
Due primarily to: lower COLI benefit -- ($6.6M); and a decrease in equity AFUDC -- ($4.5M)


 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
G
Due primarily to: an increase in interest expense of long-term debt from the issuances of FMBs during June 2016 -- ($4.2M); and a decrease in debt AFUDC -- ($1.6M)


 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
H
Due primarily to lower income before income taxes and increases in tax benefits from production tax credits from Western Plains Wind Farm

Westar Energy, Inc.
GAAP to Non-GAAP Reconciliation

Fuel and purchased power costs fluctuate with electricity sales and unit costs. As permitted by regulators, prices are adjusted to reflect changes in the costs of fuel and purchased power. Fuel and purchased power costs for wholesale customers are recovered at prevailing market prices or based on a predetermined formula with a price adjustment approved by FERC. As a result, changes in fuel and purchased power costs are offset in revenues with minimal impact on net income. For this reason, Westar management believes that gross margin is useful for understanding and analyzing changes in operating performance from one period to the next. Gross margin is calculated as total revenues, including transmission revenues, less the sum of fuel and purchased power costs and amounts billed by the SPP for network transmission costs (SPP NITS). Accordingly, gross margin reflects transmission revenues and costs on a net basis.

The calculations of gross margin for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016 are shown in the table below. The table also includes a reconciliation of gross margin to income from operations for both periods. Income from operations is the GAAP financial measure most directly comparable to gross margin.
