Portland General Electric announces second quarter 2016 results
• | Carty Generating Station placed in-service on July 29, 2016 |
• | Delivered solid second quarter financial and operating performance |
• | Reaffirming guidance of $2.05 - $2.20 per share |
PORTLAND, Ore. — Portland General Electric Company (NYSE: POR) today reported net income of $37 million, or 42 cents per diluted share, for the second quarter of 2016. This compares with net income of $35 million, or 44 cents per diluted share, for the second quarter of 2015. The decrease in second quarter earnings per diluted share was due to lower load from mild weather and an increase in common shares outstanding due to new shares issued in June 2015. This was partially offset by higher allowance for equity funds used during construction and favorable power supply operations. Enhanced power supply operations were the result of increased wind production and better hydro conditions in the second quarter of 2016 in comparison to the second quarter of 2015.
“I’m pleased to report that our highly efficient Carty Generating Station is now in service and providing a safe, reliable, and cost-effective source of energy to our customers,” said Jim Piro, president and CEO. “I want to recognize and thank the many dedicated PGE employees and contractors who worked closely together to deliver this result. In addition to achieving this milestone, we also delivered another solid quarter of financial and operating performance.”
Company Updates
Carty Generating Station
On July 29, 2016, PGE placed into service its new 440 megawatt natural-gas fired baseload generating resource near Boardman, OR. The plant was selected in 2013 after a careful and exhaustive planning and competitive resource selection process that began with PGE’s 2009 integrated resource plan, which the Oregon Public Utility Commission (OPUC) acknowledged in 2010. Following the termination of the construction agreement in December of 2015, PGE assumed control of the project. Working with the help of key contractors on the project PGE’s project team and operating staff have focused their efforts on assuring that the completed facility will safely and reliably meet our customers’ energy needs.
As a result of placing the plant in-service, $514 million of capital costs as well as the plant’s operating costs approved in the 2016 General Rate Case, were included in customer prices beginning August 1, 2016. The company
1
Exhibit 99.1
currently estimates that the total final capital expenditures for Carty, including AFDC, will be approximately $640 million to $660 million. On July 29, 2016, PGE filed a regulatory deferral request with the OPUC for the incremental capital cost from Carty’s in-service date until the additional amounts are approved, if necessary, under a future regulatory filing, which will depend on whether those additional amounts are offset wholly or in part by funds received from two sureties, who had provided a $145.6 million performance bond, or from the original Carty contractor or the contractor’s parent company. PGE required the performance bond as part of financial protections incorporated into the original fixed price, turn-key engineering, procurement and construction contract for construction and delivery of Carty as a completed facility. PGE invoked the performance bond after the contractor defaulted on its construction agreement in December 2015, and is currently pursuing legal action against the sureties, Liberty Mutual and Zurich North America, to enforce satisfaction of the terms of the bond.
As of June 30, 2016, PGE had $587 million, including $59 million of AFDC, included in construction work in progress (CWIP) for the project. Refer to the company’s Form 10-Q for the second quarter of 2016 for additional details on the Carty project.
Accelerated Renewable Request for Proposal
On June 7, 2016 at the regular public hearing of the OPUC, PGE requested approval to issue an accelerated Request for Proposal (RFP) to obtain additional renewable resources of approximately 175 average megawatts. At the public hearing the OPUC decided to take no action on approval of the RFP and extended the public comment period until June 28, 2016. The OPUC also encouraged stakeholders to engage in timely discussions regarding any concerns with the RFP. Following numerous discussions with interested parties, on July 13, 2016 PGE submitted an amended application to the OPUC requesting approval of an updated version of the RFP by no later than July 29, 2016.
At a special public hearing on July 29, 2016 the OPUC took no action on PGE’s request to issue the accelerated RFP. The commission adopted the recommendation made by staff which concluded that the RFP was not aligned with the company’s most recently acknowledged Integrated Resource Plan (IRP), In light of the questions expressed by the OPUC, staff and other parties, the company is suspending the Renewable RFP until such time as we are able to complete further analysis and determine the appropriate timing for seeking approval of a revised RFP schedule.

Total revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2016 decreased $22 million compared to the three months ended June 30, 2015, comprised primarily of a $16 million decrease in retail revenues and $4 million decrease in wholesale revenues.
The change in retail revenues resulted from the following:
• | A $21 million decrease related to 5.2% lower retail energy deliveries due to unfavorable weather conditions and a decrease in deliveries to industrial customers. Energy deliveries to residential and commercial customers decreased 4.4% and 2.8%, respectively, due to the effects of more moderate weather, and energy deliveries to industrial customers decreased 10.4%, largely due to the closure of a large paper customer that ceased operations in late 2015. PGE’s 2016 GRC took the loss of this customer into consideration and incorporated its effects into prices and load forecasts resulting in minimal impact on net income. After adjusting for the effects of weather, total retail energy deliveries were down 5.1% for the three months ended June 30, 2016 compared with the three months ended June 30, 2015; and |
• | A $5 million increase related to customer refunds that occurred in the second quarter of 2015 that did not reoccur in the second quarter of 2016 in connection with the receipt of proceeds pursuant to the settlement of a legal matter related to the operation of the ISFSI at the Trojan nuclear power plant, which was closed in 1993 (offset in depreciation and amortization). |
Net variable power costs (purchased power and fuel expense, net of wholesale revenues) for the three months ended June 30, 2016 decreased $18 million when compared with the three months ended June 30, 2015. The decrease was driven by a 14% decline in the average variable power cost per MWh, a 1% decrease in total system

Exhibit 99.1
load, offset by a 22% decrease in wholesale revenues. The decrease in wholesale revenues was driven primarily by a 45% decrease in the average wholesale sales price, partially offset by a 44% increase in wholesale sales volume. For the three months ended June 30, 2016 actual NVPC was $7 million below the baseline, while the three months ended June 30, 2015 actual NVPC approximated baseline NVPC.
Generation, transmission and distribution expense decreased $2 million, or 3%, in the three months ended June 30, 2016 compared with the three months ended June 30, 2015 driven primarily by a $3 million decrease due to the timing of the annual planned outage at Boardman, offset by a $2 million increase in service restoration expenses.
Administrative and other expense increased $1 million, or 2%, in the three months ended June 30, 2016 compared with the three months ended June 30, 2015. The increase was primarily due to a $2 million reduction in the reserve for customer receivables in 2015.
Depreciation and amortization expense increased $7 million in the three months ended June 30, 2016 compared with the three months ended June 30, 2015. The increase was primarily driven by $4 million additional expense due to capital additions, $4 million due to the temporary discontinuance of amortization of credits for the regulatory liability for the Trojan spent fuel settlement, and $4 million resulting from a combination of gains recorded on the sale of assets and other minor items, offset by a $5 million decrease that resulted from the completion of the amortization of the regulatory asset for four capital project deferrals as authorized in the company’s 2011 GRC. Increases or decreases in expense resulting from amortization of regulatory assets or liabilities are directly offset in revenues.
Interest expense decreased $1 million, or 4%, in the three months ended June 30, 2016 compared with the three months ended June 30, 2015, with $1 million related to a 7% decrease in the average balance of debt outstanding and $1 million related to a higher allowance for borrowed funds used during construction.
Other income, net was $9 million in the three months ended June 30, 2016 compared with $6 million in the three months ended June 30, 2015. The change was due to an increase in the allowance for equity funds used during construction resulting from higher average CWIP balances, primarily related to the Carty project.
Income tax expense was $9 million in the three months ended June 30, 2016 compared with $15 million in the three months ended June 30, 2015, with effective tax rates of 19.6% and 30.0%, respectively. The decrease in income tax expense and effective tax rate was primarily due to lower pre-tax income, an increase in the amount of allowance for equity funds used during construction, and an increase in production tax credits.
2016 earnings guidance
PGE is reaffirming its revised 2016 guidance of $2.05 - $2.20 per diluted share. The guidance is based on the following assumptions:
• | Retail delivery growth of approximately 1%, weather adjusted and excluding one large paper company; |
• | Slightly below average hydro conditions for the remainder of the year; |
• | Wind generation for the remainder of the year based on 5 years of historic levels or forecast studies when historical data is not available; |
• | Normal thermal plant operations; |
• | Operating and maintenance costs between $515 and $535 million; |
• | Depreciation and amortization expense between $315 and $325 million; and |
• | New customer prices effective August 1, 2016 which include only the return on and of the Carty capital costs of $514 million and all operating costs as allowed by the OPUC in the 2016 GRC. |
