Integrys Energy Group, Inc. Reports
2009 Second Quarter Financial Results
 

 

Chicago – August 5, 2009 – Integrys Energy Group, Inc. (NYSE: TEG) recognized net income attributed to common shareholders on a GAAP (generally accepted accounting principles) basis of $34.7 million ($0.45 diluted earnings per share) for the quarter ended June 30, 2009, compared with net income attributed to common shareholders on a GAAP basis of $24.1 million ($0.31 diluted earnings per share) for the quarter ended June 30, 2008.

Second quarter 2009 net income attributed to common shareholders of $34.7 million included $14.4 million of certain after-tax items, consisting of $26.3 million of after-tax non-cash gains related to derivative and inventory accounting activities at Integrys Energy Services, Inc., partially offset by $11.9 million of after-tax expenses related to restructuring activities at Integrys Energy Services.  Second quarter 2008 net income attributed to common shareholders of $24.1 million included $9.1 million of after-tax non-cash losses related to derivative and inventory accounting activities at Integrys Energy Services, and a $6.5 million after-tax non-cash goodwill impairment loss related to the natural gas utility segment.  Exclusive of these certain after-tax items recognized in the second quarters of 2009 and 2008, Integrys Energy Group’s earnings would have decreased quarter-over-quarter, to net income attributed to common shareholders of $20.3 million ($0.26 diluted earnings per share) for the quarter ended June 30, 2009, from net income attributed to common shareholders of $39.7 million ($0.52 diluted earnings per share) for the quarter ended June 30, 2008.

“Our core utility operations continue to perform well, despite the recessionary economic environment,” said Charles Schrock, President and Chief Executive Officer of Integrys Energy Group.  “We are executing our strategy to strengthen our balance sheet through the Integrys Energy Services divestiture, and the Integrys Energy Services of Canada Corp. transaction announced in July will result in a roughly $300 million reduction in our collateral support requirements.  Long-term growth will be driven by our core regulated utilities, as we make operational improvements and complete rate cases, and as the Integrys Energy Services divestiture activity enhances our ability to fund regulated investment opportunities.”

Highlights:

·  
Financial results at the natural gas utility segment improved 55.9% quarter-over-quarter, primarily related to a $6.5 million after-tax non-cash goodwill impairment loss recorded in the second quarter of 2008.

·  
Quarter-over-quarter, net income attributed to common shareholders at the electric utility segment increased 13.4%, driven by additional revenues recorded to generate the residential and small commercial and industrial margins approved in the 2009 rate case (i.e. – decoupling), higher margin from wholesale customers, and an increase in retail electric rates, partially offset by the negative impact on earnings of lower electric sales volumes to residential and commercial and industrial customers.

·  
Net income attributed to common shareholders in the amount of $11.4 million was recognized at Integrys Energy Services during the second quarter of 2009, representing a 26.7% increase over the same quarter in 2008.  Higher earnings were primarily driven by non-cash accounting gains generally due to the partial recovery of non-cash accounting losses related to derivative fair value and inventory valuation adjustments recorded in prior periods, as well as an increase in realized retail electric margins, partially offset by a decrease in realized natural gas margins, restructuring expenses recorded in the second quarter of 2009, and higher quarter-over-quarter operating and maintenance expense.

Details regarding Integrys Energy Group's financial results for the quarters ended June 30 are as follows:

Significant factors impacting the change in earnings and earnings per share were as follows:

·
A net loss of $4.1 million was recognized at the regulated natural gas utility segment during the second quarter of 2009, compared with a net loss of $9.3 million recognized during the same quarter in 2008.  The $5.2 million decrease in the net loss was driven by:
     
 
-
A non-cash after-tax goodwill impairment loss of $6.5 million recorded in the second quarter of 2008 related to North Shore Gas Company.
     
 
-
An approximate $3 million ($1.8 million after-tax) net positive quarter-over-quarter impact on margin as a result of rates, primarily related to rate increases at Michigan Gas Utilities Corporation and Minnesota Energy Resources Corporation.

Partially offsetting the above increases:
     
 
-
Operating and maintenance expenses increased $3.3 million ($2.0 million after-tax), primarily related to a $3.1 million ($1.9 million after-tax) increase in pension and other postretirement expenses and a $3.0 million ($1.8 million after-tax) increase in injuries and damages expense, partially offset by a $3.1 million ($1.9 million after-tax) reduction in bad debt expense.  The reduction in bad debt expense was driven by an average 57% decrease in the per-unit cost of natural gas sold by the natural gas utilities in the second quarter of 2009, compared with the same quarter in 2008.
     
 
-
A 12.1% decrease in natural gas throughput volumes, attributed to the negative impact of the general economic slowdown, drove an approximate $2 million ($1.2 million after-tax) negative quarter-over-quarter impact on the natural gas utility segment margin.  This quarter-over-quarter decrease in margin included the impact of decoupling mechanisms that were first effective for The Peoples Gas Light and Coke Company (Peoples Gas) and North Shore Gas on March 1, 2008, and for Wisconsin Public Service on January 1, 2009.  Under decoupling, these utilities are allowed to defer the difference between the actual and rate case authorized delivery charge components of margin from certain customers and adjust future rates in accordance with rules applicable to each jurisdiction.  The decoupling mechanism for Wisconsin Public Service’s natural gas utility includes an annual $8.0 million pre-tax ceiling for the deferral of any excess or shortfall from the rate-case authorized margin.  Approximately $3 million of additional revenues were recognized due to a shortfall from the rate-case authorized margin during the six months ended June 30, 2009.

·
During the second quarter of 2009, the regulated electric utility segment recognized net income attributed to common shareholders of $22.9 million, compared with net income attributed to common shareholders of $20.2 million during the same quarter in 2008.  The $2.7 million change was driven by:
     
 
-
An approximate $5 million ($3.0 million after-tax) increase in margin from wholesale customers related to an increase in contracted sales volumes with a large existing customer and an increase in demand charges to wholesale customers to recover costs related to the Weston 4 generation plant.
     
 
-
An approximate $4 million ($2.4 million after-tax) increase in margin from the effect of the July 4, 2008 fuel surcharge that was incorporated into Wisconsin Public Service’s 2009 non-fuel base retail electric rates.

-
Electric utility earnings related to residential and commercial and industrial customers increased $4 million ($2.4 million after-tax) during the quarter ended June 30, 2009, compared with the same quarter in 2008.  This quarter-over-quarter impact on the electric utility margin included the impact of a decoupling mechanism that first became effective for Wisconsin Public Service on January 1, 2009.  Under decoupling, Wisconsin Public Service is allowed to defer the difference between its actual margin and the rate case authorized margin recognized from residential and small commercial and industrial customers.  In the second quarter of 2009, the difference between the actual and authorized margin was approximately $8 million ($4.8 million after-tax); therefore, Wisconsin Public Service recognized a regulatory asset under decoupling for this difference.  Sales volumes related to all electric residential and commercial and industrial customers declined  5.2% quarter-over-quarter, resulting in an approximate $4 million ($2.4 million after-tax) negative impact on margin, attributed to the general economic slowdown.  It is important to note that the rate order for this four-year pilot program for electric decoupling has an annual $14.0 million pre-tax ceiling for the deferral of any excess or shortfall from the rate-case authorized margin.  This ceiling was reached in the second quarter of 2009; therefore, no additional decoupling deferral can be recorded if there are any additional shortfalls from authorized margin for the remainder of the year.
     
 
-
Partially offsetting the above increases was a $2.0 million after-tax increase in electric maintenance expense and a $1.2 million after-tax increase in pension and other postretirement costs.  The increase in electric maintenance expense was driven by major planned outages at the Weston 4 generation plant and the Pulliam generation plant in the second quarter of 2009, compared with fewer planned outages during the same period in 2008.

·
Net income attributed to common shareholders at Integrys Energy Services increased $2.4 million, from earnings of $9.0 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2008, to earnings of $11.4 million for the same quarter in 2009, driven by:
   
 
 -
 A $35.4 million after-tax increase in Integrys Energy Services' margin quarter-over-quarter related to non-cash activity, due to a $63.7 million after-tax increase related to non-cash activity associated with natural gas operations, partially offset by a $28.3 million after-tax decrease related to non-cash activity associated with electric operations.  An overview of this non-cash activity is provided below.
 
Non-cash natural gas operations:
 
The market price of natural gas declined modestly in the second quarter of 2009, decreasing approximately 1% from March 31, 2009 to June 30, 2009, driving additional negative after-tax non-cash lower-of-cost-or-market inventory adjustments of $4.2 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2009.  These lower-of-cost-or-market adjustments were required to reflect natural gas in storage at June 30, 2009 at its net realizable value, as required by GAAP.  Quarter-over-quarter, the natural gas withdrawn from storage and sold to customers had a $32.6 million lower cost basis as a result of lower-of-cost-or-market adjustments recorded in prior periods.  Overall, the recovery of prior period lower-of-cost-or-market adjustments related to natural gas storage withdrawals (net of the additional $4.2 million of lower-of-cost-or-market adjustments recorded during the quarter) drove a $28.4 million after-tax quarter-over-quarter increase in the non-cash natural gas margin.

Integrys Energy Services’ natural gas margin was positively impacted by a $35.3 million after-tax quarter-over-quarter decrease in non-cash unrealized losses related to derivative instruments.  The required fair value adjustments primarily related to changes in the fair market value of contracts utilized to mitigate market price risk associated with certain natural gas storage contracts, as well as basis swaps utilized to mitigate market price risk associated with natural gas transportation contracts and certain natural gas sales contracts.  Earnings volatility results from the application of derivative accounting rules to the transactions used to mitigate price risk (requiring that these derivative instruments be reflected at fair market value), without a corresponding offset related to the physical natural gas storage contracts, the natural gas transportation contracts, or the natural gas sales contracts (as these contracts are not considered derivative instruments).  Therefore, there is no gain or loss recognized on the natural gas storage contracts (unless the inventory underlying these storage contracts becomes subject to lower-of-cost-or-market adjustments, as was the case in the second quarter of 2009), the transportation contracts, or the customer sales contracts until physical settlement of these contracts occurs.
 
Non-cash electric operations:
 
During the second quarter of 2009, Integrys Energy Services recognized $14.0 million of net after-tax non-cash unrealized gains, $18.2 million of which related to the reversal of after-tax non-cash unrealized losses recorded in prior periods through physical settlement of certain transactions, partially offset by $4.2 million of additional net after-tax non-cash unrealized losses recognized during the quarter related to an approximate 6% decrease in electric commodity prices from March 31, 2009 to June 30, 2009.  During the second quarter of 2008, Integrys Energy Services recognized $42.3 million of net after-tax non-cash unrealized gains, resulting from $61.9 million of net after-tax non-cash unrealized gains recognized during the quarter related to an approximate 23% increase in electric commodity prices from March 31, 2008 to June 30, 2008, partially offset by the reversal of $19.6 million of after-tax non-cash unrealized gains recorded in prior periods through physical settlement of certain transactions.  Non-cash unrealized gains and losses are recognized as the result of the application of derivative accounting rules to Integrys Energy Services' portfolio of derivative electric customer supply contracts, requiring that these derivative instruments be adjusted to fair market value.  The derivative instruments are utilized to economically hedge the price, volume, and ancillary risks associated with related electric customer sales contracts.  The associated electric customer sales contracts are not adjusted to fair value, as they do not meet the definition of derivative instruments under GAAP, creating an accounting mismatch.  As such, the non-cash unrealized gains and losses related to the electric customer supply contracts will vary each period, with non-cash unrealized gains being recognized in periods of increasing energy prices and non-cash unrealized losses being recognized in periods of declining energy prices, and will ultimately reverse when the related customer sales contracts settle.
     
 
-
Combined, realized retail and wholesale electric margin increased $14.4 million after-tax:
 
Margins from realized retail electric operations increased $9.2 million after-tax, from $4.5 million after-tax in the second quarter of 2008, to $13.7 million after tax in the second quarter of 2009.  Higher quarter-over-quarter retail electric margins were experienced in Illinois, New England, and New York as Integrys Energy Services focused on customer markets with higher margins in 2009.  Margins were also higher in the Mid-Atlantic region, as Integrys Energy Services

    continued to realize volume growth in this newer market.
     
    The realized wholesale electric margin increased $5.2 million after-tax, from $13.7 million after-tax during the quarter ended June 30, 2008, to $18.9 million after-tax during the quarter ended June 30, 2009.  In general, realized margins are impacted by transaction activity in prior periods.  Integrys Energy Services recognizes realized margin when the contracts actually settle, which typically occurs over a 12 to 24 month time period from the time the contract was actually entered into.  Wholesale transactions were scaled back in conjunction with the global credit crisis in the latter half of 2008 and continue to be scaled back with the announced Integrys Energy Services strategy change.  The scaled back transaction activity will negatively impact realized margin in subsequent periods.
     
 
Partially offsetting the above increases:
     
 
-
Realized natural gas margins decreased $21.0 million after-tax, from $24.8 million after-tax in the second quarter of 2008, to $3.8 million after-tax in the second quarter of 2009, primarily related to a reduction in wholesale transactions.  As a result of the current volatility and uncertainty in the global financial markets and in order to improve its liquidity position, Integrys Energy Services has reduced the volume of wholesale natural gas transactions entered into.
     
 
-
After-tax restructuring expenses recorded at Integrys Energy Services of $11.9 million, which included anticipated employee related costs of $7.0 million, the write-off of $3.1 million of software that will not be utilized because of the restructuring, and $1.8 million of consulting and legal costs.
     
 
-
Operating and maintenance expense increased $10.6 million after-tax, primarily related to a $5.4 million after-tax fee paid to a counterparty in order to consolidate certain wholesale financial and physical transactions.  This novation agreement is expected to enable Integrys Energy Services to reduce costs in the future through reductions in collateral postings.  The remaining increase in operating and maintenance expense related primarily to higher bad debt expense resulting from an increase in customer bankruptcies quarter-over-quarter.
     
 
-
A small decrease in other income and an increase in interest expense also negatively impacted Integrys Energy Services’ earnings by an after-tax combined $2.6 million quarter-over-quarter.

·
Net income attributed to common shareholders related to the holding company and other segment increased $0.3 million, from $4.2 million during the quarter ended June 30, 2008, to $4.5 million during the quarter ended June 30, 2009, due primarily to a $2.5 million ($1.5 million after-tax) increase in equity earnings from Integrys Energy Group’s approximate 34% ownership interest in American Transmission Company.  Pre-tax equity earnings from American Transmission Company were $18.4 million during the second quarter of 2009, compared with $15.9 million during the same quarter in 2008.  Higher earnings related to American Transmission Company were partially offset by an increase in holding company legal expenses.

YEAR-TO-DATE RESULTS

Integrys Energy Group recognized a net loss attributed to common shareholders on a GAAP basis of $145.5 million ($1.90 net loss per share) for the six months ended June 30, 2009, compared with net income attributed to common shareholders on a GAAP basis of $159.9 million ($2.08 diluted earnings per share) for the six months ended June 30, 2008.

The net loss attributed to common shareholders for the six months ended June 30, 2009, of $145.5 million included $285.9 million of certain after-tax items, consisting of a $248.8 million after-tax non-cash goodwill impairment loss related to the natural gas utility segment, $25.2 million of after-tax non-cash losses related to derivative and inventory accounting activities at Integrys Energy Services, and $11.9 million of after-tax expenses related to restructuring activities at Integrys Energy Services.  Net income attributed to common shareholders for the six months ended June 30, 2008 of $159.9 million included $30.6 million of after-tax non-cash gains related to derivative and inventory accounting activities at Integrys Energy Services, and a $6.5 million after-tax non-cash goodwill impairment loss related to the regulated natural gas utility segment.  Exclusive of these certain after-tax items recognized during the six months ended June 30, 2009, and 2008, Integrys Energy Group’s earnings would have increased period-over-period to net income attributed to common shareholders of $140.4 million ($1.83 diluted earnings per share) for the six months ended June 30, 2009, from net income attributed to common shareholders of $135.8 million ($1.77 diluted earnings per share) for the six months ended June 30, 2008.

EARNINGS FORECAST

Given the previously announced strategic shift to focus on our core utility businesses, we have excluded any guidance related to Integrys Energy Services from the ranges below.  The projected guidance range for 2009 diluted earnings per share – adjusted remains the same as previously announced – it is anticipated to be between $2.17 and $2.32.  In 2011, the first full year Integrys Energy Group expects to be a predominantly Midwestern regional regulated utility company, the projected guidance range for diluted earnings per share – adjusted also remains the same as previously announced – it is anticipated to be between $2.80 and $3.20.  This guidance assumes operational improvements and rate relief for certain utilities, the availability of generation units, successful execution of the divestiture of Integrys Energy Services, a return to more normal economic conditions, and normal weather conditions.  Diluted earnings per share – adjusted guidance provides investors with additional insight into the company's operating performance because it eliminates the effects of certain items that are not comparable from one period to the next.  Please see the “Diluted Earnings per Share Information – Non-GAAP Financial Information” included at the end of this news release and also included with the supplemental data package on the company's Web site for a reconciliation of diluted earnings per share to diluted earnings per share – adjusted.

Integrys Energy Group reiterates its expected long-term diluted earnings per share growth rate of 4% to 6%, on an average annualized basis, with 2009 as its base year, excluding non-cash derivative accounting and inventory valuation adjustment gains and losses.

Integrys Energy Group’s management will discuss earnings guidance for 2009 and also for 2011, the first full year it expects to be a predominantly Midwestern regional regulated utility company,

Diluted Earnings Per Share Information – Non-GAAP Financial Information

Non-GAAP Financial Information

Integrys Energy Group prepares financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (GAAP).  Along with this information, we disclose and discuss diluted earnings per share (EPS) – adjusted, which is a non-GAAP measure.  Management uses the measure in its internal performance reporting and for reports to the Board of Directors.  We disclose this measure in our quarterly earnings releases, on investor conference calls, and during investor conferences and related events.  Management believes that diluted EPS – adjusted is a useful measure for providing investors with additional insight into our operating performance because it eliminates the effects of certain items that are not comparable from one period to the next.  Therefore, this measure allows investors to better compare our financial results from period to period.  The presentation of this additional information is not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for our results of operations prepared and presented in conformance with GAAP.
