ST. LOUIS, Aug. 5, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Ameren
Corporation (NYSE: AEE) today announced second quarter 2016 GAAP
and core (non-GAAP) net income attributable to common shareholders
of $147 million, or 61 cents per share, compared to second quarter
2015 GAAP net income attributable to common shareholders of
$150 million, or 61 cents per share. Excluding certain items
discussed below, Ameren recorded second quarter 2015 core
(non-GAAP) net income of $141
million, or 58 cents per
share.
GAAP earnings for the second quarter of 2015 included results
from discontinued operations and a loss provision for discontinuing
the pursuit of a construction and operating license (COL) for a
second Callaway nuclear unit that
were excluded from core earnings. The year-over-year second quarter
GAAP and core earnings comparisons reflect higher 2016 retail
electric sales volumes, excluding those to Noranda Aluminum, driven
by warmer early summer temperatures. Earnings in 2016 also
benefited from increased electric transmission and electric and
natural gas distribution infrastructure investments made by Ameren
Transmission Company of Illinois
(ATXI) and Ameren Illinois under modern, constructive regulatory
frameworks. These positive factors were partially offset by
expenses for a 2016 scheduled nuclear refueling and maintenance
outage at Ameren Missouri's Callaway Energy Center and lower
electric sales volumes to Noranda, historically Ameren Missouri's
largest customer who suspended operations in early 2016.
"Our team continued to successfully execute all elements of our
strategy. That performance drove solid second quarter earnings
results, which also benefited from warmer-than-normal early summer
temperatures," said Warner L.
Baxter, chairman, president and chief executive officer of
Ameren Corporation. "As a result of these solid earnings, I am
pleased to report that we have raised our 2016 guidance to a range
of $2.45 to $2.65 per share, up from
our prior range of $2.40 to $2.60 per
share."
Ameren recorded GAAP and core net income attributable to common
shareholders for the six months ended June
30, 2016, of $252 million, or
$1.04 per share, compared to GAAP net
income attributable to common shareholders of $258 million, or $1.06 per share, for the same period in 2015.
Excluding certain items discussed below, Ameren recorded core
earnings of $249 million, or
$1.03 per share, for the six months
ended June 30, 2015.
GAAP earnings for the first six months of 2015 included results
from discontinued operations and a provision for a Callaway COL
that were excluded from core earnings. The year-over-year six-month
GAAP and core earnings comparisons reflect increased 2016 electric
transmission and electric and natural gas distribution
infrastructure investments made by ATXI and Ameren Illinois. These
comparisons also benefited from a decrease in the 2016 effective
income tax rate due to the recognition of tax benefits associated
with share-based compensation and from increased Illinois natural gas distribution service
rates. These positive factors were partially offset by 2016 nuclear
refueling and maintenance outage expenses at the Callaway Energy
Center and lower electric sales volumes to Noranda. The earnings
comparisons were also unfavorably affected by impacts of the 2015
Missouri energy efficiency plan.
As reflected in the table below, the following items were
excluded from core earnings for the three- and six-month periods
ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, as
applicable:
- Results from discontinued operations, which increased 2015 GAAP
net income for both the three- and six-month periods by
$52 million primarily reflecting
recognition of a tax benefit related to the resolution of an
uncertain tax position.
- A provision for discontinuing pursuit of a COL for a second
nuclear unit at Ameren Missouri's Callaway Energy Center, which
decreased 2015 net income from continuing operations for both the
three- and six- month periods by $43
million.
A reconciliation of GAAP to core earnings, including per share
amounts, is as follows:

Earnings Guidance
Ameren now expects its 2016 earnings to be in a range of
$2.45 to $2.65 per diluted share, an
increase from its prior range of $2.40 to
$2.60 per diluted share. This updated guidance reflects
year-to-date results and continues to include an estimated
15 cents per share reduction related
to the expected temporary net effect of significantly lower
electric sales volumes to Noranda.
Earnings guidance for 2016 assumes normal temperatures for the
last six months of this year and is subject to the effects of,
among other things: 30-year U.S. Treasury bond yields; regulatory
decisions and legislative actions; energy center and energy
distribution operations; energy, economic, capital and credit
market conditions; severe storms; unusual or otherwise unexpected
gains or losses; and other risks and uncertainties outlined, or
referred to, in the Forward-looking Statements section of this
press release.
Ameren Missouri Segment Results
Ameren Missouri segment second quarter 2016 GAAP and core
earnings were $92 million, compared
to second quarter 2015 GAAP and core earnings of $61 million and $104
million, respectively. GAAP earnings in 2015 included a
provision for a Callaway COL that was excluded from core earnings.
The year-over-year GAAP and core earnings comparisons reflect 2016
nuclear refueling and maintenance outage expenses at the Callaway
Energy Center, lower electric sales volumes to Noranda, and the
impacts of the 2015 energy efficiency plan. These unfavorable
factors were partially offset by higher retail electric sales
volumes in 2016, excluding those to Noranda, driven by warmer early
summer temperatures, as well as lower other operations and
maintenance expenses.
Ameren Illinois Segment Results
Ameren Illinois segment second quarter 2016 GAAP and core
earnings were $45 million, compared
to second quarter 2015 GAAP and core earnings of $31 million. The earnings comparisons benefited
from increased investments in transmission and electric
distribution infrastructure, increased natural gas distribution
service rates, and higher residential and commercial electric sales
volumes driven by warmer early summer temperatures.
Other Results from Continuing Operations, including ATXI and
Parent
Other GAAP and core earnings, including those of ATXI and the
parent company, for the second quarter of 2016 were $10 million, compared to second quarter 2015 GAAP
and core earnings of $6 million. The
higher earnings reflect an increase in ATXI earnings to
$14 million from $7 million as a result of increased investments
in electric transmission infrastructure, partially offset by
increased parent company interest charges resulting from the
November 2015 issuance of
$700 million of senior notes that
replaced lower-cost, short-term debt.
Analyst Conference Call
Ameren will conduct a conference call for financial analysts at
9 a.m. Central Time on Friday, Aug. 5, to discuss second quarter 2016
earnings, earnings guidance, and regulatory and other matters.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
In this release, Ameren has presented core earnings,
which is a non-GAAP measure and may not be comparable to those of
other companies. A reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP results has
been included in this release. Generally, core earnings or losses
include earnings or losses attributable to Ameren common
shareholders and exclude income or loss from discontinued
operations and income or loss from significant discrete items that
management does not consider representative of ongoing earnings,
such as the Callaway COL provision. Ameren uses core
earnings internally for financial planning and for analysis of
performance. Ameren also uses core earnings as the
primary performance measurement when communicating with analysts
and investors regarding our earnings results and outlook, as the
company believes that core earnings allow the company to more
accurately compare its ongoing performance across periods. In
providing core earnings guidance, there could be differences
between core earnings and earnings prepared in accordance with GAAP
as a result of our treatment of certain items, such as those
described above. Ameren is unable to estimate the impact,
if any, on future GAAP earnings of such items.
Forward-looking Statements
Statements in this release not based on historical facts are
considered "forward-looking" and, accordingly, involve risks and
uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially
from those discussed. Although such forward-looking statements have
been made in good faith and are based on reasonable assumptions,
there is no assurance that the expected results will be achieved.
These statements include (without limitation) statements as to
future expectations, beliefs, plans, strategies, objectives,
events, conditions, and financial performance. In connection with
the "safe harbor" provisions of the Private Securities Litigation
Reform Act of 1995, we are providing this cautionary statement to
identify important factors that could cause actual results to
differ materially from those anticipated. The following factors, in
addition to those discussed under Risk Factors in Ameren's Form
10-K, and elsewhere in this release and in our other filings with
the Securities and Exchange Commission, could cause actual results
to differ materially from management expectations suggested in such
forward-looking statements:
- regulatory, judicial, or legislative actions, including changes
in regulatory policies and ratemaking determinations, that may
result from the complaint cases filed with the Federal Energy
Regulatory Commission seeking a reduction in the allowed base
return on common equity under the Midcontinent Independent System
Operator tariff, Ameren Missouri's July
2016 electric rate case filing, Ameren Missouri's appeal of
a Missouri Public Service Commission (MoPSC) order that clarified
the method applied to determine an input used to calculate its
performance incentive under the Missouri Energy Efficiency
Investment Act (MEEIA) 2013 plan, Ameren Illinois' April 2016 annual electric distribution service
formula rate update filing, and future regulatory, judicial, or
legislative actions that change regulatory recovery
mechanisms;
- the effect of Ameren Illinois participating in a
performance-based formula ratemaking process under the Illinois
Energy Infrastructure Modernization Act (IEIMA), including the
direct relationship between Ameren Illinois' return on common
equity and 30-year United States Treasury bond yields, the related
financial commitments required by the IEIMA, and the resulting
uncertain impact on Ameren Illinois' results of operations,
financial position, and liquidity;
- our ability to align our overall spending, both operating and
capital, with regulatory frameworks established by our regulators
in an attempt to earn our allowed return on equity;
- the effects of changes in laws and other governmental actions,
including monetary, fiscal, tax, and energy policies;
- the effects of changes in federal, state, or local tax laws,
regulations, interpretations, or rates and any challenges to the
tax positions we have taken;
- the effects on demand for our services resulting from
technological advances, including advances in customer energy
efficiency and distributed generation sources, which generate
electricity at the site of consumption and are becoming more
cost-competitive;
- the effectiveness of Ameren Missouri's customer energy
efficiency programs and the related amount of any revenues and
performance incentive earned under the 2013 MEEIA plan, the 2016
MEEIA plan, and any future MEEIA plan;
- the timing of increasing capital expenditure and operating
expense requirements and our ability to recover these costs in a
timely manner;
- the cost and availability of fuel, such as coal, natural gas,
and enriched uranium used to produce electricity; the cost and
availability of purchased power and natural gas for distribution;
and the level and volatility of future market prices for such
commodities, including our ability to recover the costs for such
commodities and our customers' tolerance for the related rate
increases;
- disruptions in the delivery of fuel, failure of our fuel
suppliers to provide adequate quantities or quality of fuel, or
lack of adequate inventories of fuel, including ultra-low-sulfur
coal used for Ameren Missouri's compliance with environmental
regulations;
- the effectiveness of our risk management strategies and our use
of financial and derivative instruments;
- the ability to obtain sufficient insurance, including insurance
relating to Ameren Missouri's Callaway Energy Center and insurance
for cyber attacks or, in the absence of insurance, the ability to
recover uninsured losses from our customers;
- business and economic conditions, including their impact on key
customers, interest rates, collection of our receivable balances,
and demand for our products;
- Noranda Aluminum, Inc.'s (Noranda) bankruptcy filing, the
idling of operations at its aluminum smelter located in southeast
Missouri, and the resulting
impacts to Ameren Missouri's ability to recover its revenue
requirement until rates are adjusted by the MoPSC in Ameren
Missouri's July 2016 electric rate
case to accurately reflect Noranda's actual sales volumes;
- disruptions of the capital markets, deterioration in our credit
metrics, or other events that may have an adverse effect on the
cost or availability of capital, including short-term credit and
liquidity;
- the impact of adopting new accounting guidance and the
application of appropriate accounting rules and guidance;
- the actions of credit rating agencies and the effects of such
actions;
- the impact of weather conditions and other natural phenomena on
us and our customers, including the impact of system outages;
- the construction, installation, performance, and cost recovery
of generation, transmission, and distribution assets;
- the effects of breakdowns or failures of equipment in the
operation of natural gas distribution and transmission systems and
storage facilities, such as leaks, explosions and mechanical
problems, and compliance with natural gas safety regulations;
- the effects of our increasing investment in electric
transmission projects, our ability to obtain all of the necessary
approvals to complete the projects, and the uncertainty as to
whether we will achieve our expected returns in a timely
manner;
- operation of Ameren Missouri's Callaway Energy Center,
including planned and unplanned outages, and decommissioning
costs;
- the effects of strategic initiatives, including mergers,
acquisitions and divestitures, and any related tax
implications;
- the impact of current environmental regulations and new, more
stringent, or changing requirements, including those related to
carbon dioxide, other emissions and discharges, cooling water
intake structures, coal combustion residuals, and energy
efficiency, that are enacted over time and that could limit or
terminate the operation of certain of our energy centers, increase
our costs or investment requirements, result in an impairment of
our assets, cause us to sell our assets, reduce our customers'
demand for electricity or natural gas, or otherwise have a negative
financial effect;
- the impact of complying with renewable energy portfolio
requirements in Missouri;
- labor disputes, work force reductions, future wage and employee
benefits costs, including changes in discount rates, mortality
tables, and returns on benefit plan assets;
- the inability of our counterparties to meet their obligations
with respect to contracts, credit agreements, and financial
instruments;
- the cost and availability of transmission capacity for the
energy generated by Ameren Missouri's energy centers or required to
satisfy Ameren Missouri's energy sales;
- legal and administrative proceedings;
- the impact of cyber attacks, which could result in the loss of
operational control of energy centers and electric and natural gas
transmission and distribution systems and/or the loss of data, such
as utility customer data and account information; and
- acts of sabotage, war, terrorism, or other intentionally
disruptive acts.
New factors emerge from time to time and it is not possible for
management to predict all of such factors, nor can it assess the
impact of each such factor on the business or the extent to which
any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to
differ materially from those contained or implied in any
forward-looking statement. Given these uncertainties, undue
reliance should not be placed on these forward-looking statements.
Except to the extent required by the federal securities laws, we
undertake no obligation to update or revise publicly any
forward-looking statements to reflect new information or future
events.
