TECO Energy, Inc. (NYSE:TE) today reported fourth-quarter non-GAAP results from continuing operations, which exclude $1.5 million of acquisition-related costs, of $52.5 million, or $0.23 on a per-share basis, compared with $45.0 million, or $0.19 on a per-share basis in 2014.

Fourth-quarter 2015 net income was $50.5 million, or $0.21 per share, compared with $10.8 million, or $0.04 per share, in the fourth quarter of 2014. Net income from continuing operations was $51.0 million, or $0.22 per share, in the 2015 fourth quarter, compared with $27.4 million, or $0.11 per share, for the same period in 2014. The fourth quarter losses in discontinued operations of $0.5 million and $16.6 million in 2015 and 2014, respectively, reflect the operating results and charges associated with TECO Coal, which was sold on Sept. 21.

Full-year 2015 non-GAAP results from continuing operations, which exclude $15.0 million of acquisition-related costs, were $256.2 million, or $1.10 on a per-share basis, compared with $229.7 million, or $1.03 on a per-share basis in 2014.

Full-year net income was $173.5 million, or $0.74 per share, compared with net income of $130.4 million, or $0.58 per share in 2014. Net income from continuing operations was $241.2 million, or $1.03 per share, compared with $206.4 million or $0.92 per share in 2014. The full-year losses from discontinued operations were $67.7 million and $76.0 million in 2015 and 2014, respectively.

TECO Energy President and Chief Executive Officer John Ramil said, “Our operating companies recorded strong earnings in 2015, delivering per-share results almost 7% higher than last year. We continue to see robust customer growth in Florida, with the number of electric and gas customers up 1.8% and 2.1%, respectively. We also had continued success with our New Mexico Gas integration activities, resulting in accretive earnings in 2015, despite disappointing first quarter weather. At the same time, we are making good progress on obtaining the various approvals needed to close our transaction with Emera. TECO Energy’s shareholders approved the transaction in December, and all the other required regulatory filings have been made. With the approval schedule established in New Mexico, we expect to close the transaction this summer.”

Non-GAAP Results

Tampa Electric

Tampa Electric’s net income for the fourth quarter of 2015 was $43.0 million, compared with $37.4 million for the same period in 2014. Results for the quarter reflected a 1.8% higher average number of customers, and higher energy sales primarily due to record high temperatures in November and December. Results reflected operations and maintenance expense slightly higher than 2014, and higher depreciation expense. Fourth-quarter net income in 2015 included $5.1 million of Allowance for Funds Used During Construction (AFUDC) equity, which represents allowed equity cost capitalized to construction costs, compared with $3.2 million in the 2014 quarter.

Total degree days in Tampa Electric's service area in the fourth quarter of 2015 were 36% above normal, and 51% above the 2014 period, driven by record high temperatures in November and December. Total net energy for load increased 9.6% in the fourth quarter of 2015, compared with the same period in 2014. In the 2015 period, pretax base revenues were $15.7 million higher than in 2014, driven by customer growth and higher energy sales as warm weather produced significant air conditioning load. The quarter included almost $3 million of higher pretax base revenue from higher base rates, as a result of the 2013 rate case settlement.

While net energy for load, is a calendar measurement of retail energy sales rather than a billing-cycle measurement, the quarterly energy sales shown on the operating statistical summary that accompanies this earnings release reflect the energy sales based on billing cycles, which can vary period to period. Retail energy sales to residential and commercial customers increased primarily from the warm weather and customer growth. Sales to non-phosphate industrial customers increased due to the strength of the Tampa area economy. Sales to lower-margin industrial-phosphate customers increased as self-generation by those customers decreased due to outages at a customer’s facilities.

Operations and maintenance expense, excluding all Florida Public Service Commission (FPSC)-approved cost-recovery clauses, was slightly higher than in the 2014 quarter, reflecting higher costs to safely and reliably operate and maintain the generating, transmission and distribution systems, essentially offset by lower employee-related costs, primarily due to the level of short-term incentive accruals for all employees in 2015 compared to 2014. Results also include a $1.9 million loss on the disposition of small generating units no longer in service.

Depreciation and amortization expense increased $1.4 million in 2015, as a result of normal additions to facilities to reliably serve customers.

Full-year net income was $241.0 million, compared with $224.5 million in 2014, driven by 1.8% higher average number of customers and higher energy sales from customer growth, warmer than normal spring and early winter weather and a stronger economy. Higher operations and maintenance, depreciation and interest expenses partially offset the higher revenues. Full-year net income in 2015 included $17.2 million of AFUDC equity, compared with $10.5 million in 2014.

Full-year total degree days in Tampa Electric's service area were 12% above normal and 17% above the prior full-year period. Pretax base revenues were more than $37 million higher than in 2014, including approximately $8 million of higher pretax base revenues as a result of the Nov.1, 2014 and 2015 base rate increases. In the 2015 full-year period, total net energy for load was 4.1% higher than in 2014. Higher energy sales were driven by more favorable weather in 2015 than in 2014.

Operations and maintenance expenses, excluding all FPSC-approved cost-recovery clauses, increased $5.4 million in the 2015 full-year period, reflecting higher costs to safely and reliably serve customers partially offset by lower employee-related expenses. Compared to 2014, depreciation and amortization expense increased $5.0 million, reflecting additions to facilities to serve customers. Interest expense increased $1.4 million due to higher long-term debt balances.

Peoples Gas

Peoples Gas System (PGS) reported net income of $6.9 million for the fourth quarter, compared with $8.9 million in the 2014 quarter. Average customer growth was 2.0% in the quarter, and therm sales to retail customers decreased as a result of warm fall and early winter weather partially offset by customer growth and a stronger economy. Sales to power-generation customers and off-system sales increased due to levels of operation by gas-fired generation in the state due to the warm weather. As a result, total retail base revenues and off-system revenues (net of fuel) were unchanged from last year. Fourth-quarter results in 2015 reflected non-fuel operations and maintenance expense $2.4 million higher than in 2014, driven by higher operating costs, partially offset by lower employee-related costs, primarily due to the level of short-term incentive accruals for all employees in 2015 compared to 2014. Depreciation and amortization increased slightly due to normal additions to facilities to serve customers.

PGS reported net income of $35.3 million for the full-year period, compared with $35.8 million in 2014. Results reflect a 2.1% higher average number of customers, lower therm sales to residential customers due to warmer-than-normal spring and winter weather, and increased therm sales to commercial and industrial customers due to strong economic conditions in Florida. Sales to power generation customers and off-system sales increased due to the same reasons as in the fourth quarter. Non-fuel operations and maintenance expense increased $1.9 million compared to the 2014 period, driven by the same factors as the fourth quarter. Operations and maintenance expense in 2014 reflected a first-quarter recovery of $1.6 million of costs incurred in connection with a 2010 outage incident.

NMGC

NMGC reported fourth-quarter net income of $13.1 million, compared with $11.4 million in the 2014 period. Results reflected the benefit of 5% higher heating degree days, 0.8% higher average number of customers, and lower operating and maintenance expenses from acquisition synergies and a focus on cost control. Results included $1.3 million of pretax rate credits to customers under the Certification of Stipulation approved by the New Mexico Public Regulation Commission.

NMGC reported full-year 2015 net income of $24.1 million. Results reflected customer growth of 0.7% and much milder than normal winter weather in the first quarter partially offset by colder fourth quarter 2015 weather that resulted in degree days 5.5% below normal but 1.4% above 2014. Operations and maintenance expense was lower than in the 2014 period from acquisition synergies and a focus on cost control. Results included $2.7 million of pretax rate credits to customers. Net income of $10.5 million in 2014 reflects a partial year beginning with the Sept. 2, 2014 date of acquisition.

Other - net

The fourth quarter 2015 non-GAAP cost from continuing operations for Other – net of $10.5 million excluded $0.9 million of transaction costs related to the pending Emera acquisition and $0.6 million of costs associated with the integration of NMGC, compared with the non-GAAP cost of $12.7 million in 2014, which excluded $3.0 million of NMGC-related costs and a $14.6 million consolidated deferred income tax balance adjustment to reflect the then pending sale of TECO Coal. Fourth-quarter results in 2015 reflected lower income tax adjustments and lower interest expense as a result of refinancing debt maturities in May. The GAAP cost from continuing operations for Other – net in the fourth quarter of 2015 was $12.0 million, compared with a cost of $30.3 million in 2014.

The 2015 full-year non-GAAP cost from continuing operations for Other – net was $44.2 million, which excluded $13.1 million of transaction costs related to the pending Emera acquisition and $1.9 million of NMGC integration-related costs, compared with $41.1 million in 2014, which excluded $16.6 million of NMGC acquisition and integration-related costs, and net consolidated state deferred tax balance adjustments of $6.7 million. Cost drivers in the 2015 full-year period included $3.1 million of interest at New Mexico Gas Intermediate (the parent company of NMGC), $2.8 million of interest previously allocated to TECO Coal that was offset by lower interest expense on refinanced debt, and a $2.9 million tax expense related to long-term incentive compensation shares that vested below target levels. The 2015 full-year GAAP Other – net cost from continuing operations was $59.2 million, compared with $64.4 million in the 2014 period.

Discontinued Operations

The sale of TECO Coal closed in September 2015. The 2015 loss of $67.7 million recorded in discontinued operations reflects TECO Coal’s operating results prior to its sale, net impairment charges of $50.8 million recorded in the second quarter, and a $7.7 million charge related to black-lung liabilities recorded in the third quarter. Discontinued operations include fourth quarter costs of $0.5 million and $0.2 million in the 2015 and 2014 periods, respectively, and full-year benefits of $1.9 million and $6.0 million in the 2015 and 2014 periods, respectively, recorded in the Other – net segment.

Emera Acquisition Progress

  • In October, TECO Energy and Emera filed for approval of the merger with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) requesting a decision in March 2016. On Jan. 20, 2016, the FERC issued an order authorizing the merger finding that it is consistent with the public interest.
  • On Oct. 19, 2015, TECO Energy and Emera filed for approval of the merger with the New Mexico Public Regulation Commission (NMPRC) Docket No. 15-00327-UT.
  • On Dec. 3, 2015, TECO Energy shareholders approved the merger with Emera.
  • On Dec. 11, 2015, the hearing examiner in the application with the NMPRC issued a Procedural Oder establishing a schedule for the case. The significant schedule dates are: direct testimony or a settlement to be filed April 22, 2016, and a public hearing is scheduled to begin May 23, 2016.
  • On Jan. 6, 2016, TECO Energy and Emera filed a Premerger Notification with the U.S. Department of Justice as required by the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976 (HSR).
  • On Jan. 6, 2016, TECO Energy and Emera made the initial filings required to obtain approval of the merger with the Committee on Foreign Investment in the U.S. (CFIUS).

2016 Business Drivers

Results in 2016 are expected to be driven by customer growth trends for all three utilities at or above the trends experienced in 2015. Tampa Electric and PGS are expected to continue to earn in the upper half of their allowed Return on Equity ranges of 9.25% to 11.25% and 9.75% to 11.75%, respectively. Expected results for all utilities assume normal weather.

On a weather normalized basis, energy sales at Tampa Electric are expected to increase about 0.3% to 0.5% below the rate of customer growth.

Depreciation expense at all three utilities is expected to increase from normal additions to facilities to safely and reliably serve customers. Tampa Electric expects higher AFUDC-equity earnings from the growing investment in the Polk Power Station conversion project.

Non-GAAP Presentation

Management believes it is helpful to present a non-GAAP measure of performance that reflects the ongoing operations of TECO Energy’s businesses and that allows investors to better understand and evaluate the business as it is expected to operate in future periods.

Management and the board of directors use non-GAAP measures as a tool for measuring the company’s performance, for making decisions that are dependent upon the profitability of the company’s various operating units, and for determining levels of incentive compensation.

The non-GAAP measures of financial performance used by the company are not measures of performance under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States and should not be considered an alternative to net income or other GAAP figures as an indicator of the company’s financial performance or liquidity. TECO Energy’s non-GAAP presentation of results from operations may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies.

The Results Reconciliation table below presents non-GAAP financial results after eliminating the effects of identified charges and gains. This provides investors additional information to assess the company’s results and future earnings potential.
