“In 2015, Pepco Holdings continued to improve its reliability performance, reflecting the positive impact of the significant investments we have made in reliability improvements and advanced technologies,” said Joseph M. Rigby, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer. “These investments are notably strengthening our operating performance and restoration efforts, as demonstrated during the recent record snowfall. As we seek to maintain this trend of enhancing reliability for our customers, we plan to invest more than $6 billion in the electric system throughout our service area during the next five years.” Rigby added, “We continue to await the final decision on our pending merger with Exelon. The record in the District of Columbia proceeding closed on December 23, 2015. I am hopeful that the Commission will provide this final approval required to close the merger. I remain convinced that joining the Exelon family of utilities will make Pepco Holdings a stronger company, both financially and operationally.”

In 2015, Pepco Holdings’ GAAP net income from continuing operations was $318 million or $1.25 per share, as compared to $242 million, or 96 cents per share in the prior year. Excluding items that we believe are not representative of ongoing business operations, 2015 adjusted net income from continuing operations would have been $325 million or $1.28 per share, as compared to $321 million, or $1.27 per share in the prior year.

The primary drivers of the increase in adjusted net income from continuing operations (Non-GAAP) for 2015, were higher distribution and transmission revenue (primarily due to higher rates from continued infrastructure investment, growth in the number of distribution customers and rate mix), the global tax settlement with the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) for the years 2001 through 2011 and related income tax adjustments (14 cents per share) and gains from sales of non-utility land (11 cents per share). Partially offsetting the increases were higher operation and maintenance expense (primarily related to the implementation of a new customer information system, system maintenance and environmental remediation costs), higher interest expense and increased depreciation expense resulting from infrastructure investment.

Pepco Holdings’ GAAP net income from continuing operations for the three months ended December 31, 2015 was $121 million, or 48 cents per share, as compared to $35 million, or 14 cents per share, for the same quarter in the prior year. Excluding items that we believe are not representative of ongoing business operations, adjusted net income from continuing operations for the fourth quarter of 2015 would have been $124 million, or 49 cents per share, as compared to $59 million, or 23 cents per share, in the fourth quarter of 2014.

The increase in adjusted net income from continuing operations (Non-GAAP) in the fourth quarter of 2015, as compared to the 2014 fourth quarter, was due to higher distribution and transmission revenue (primarily due to higher transmission rates, growth in the number of distribution customers, higher usage and rate mix), the global tax settlement with the IRS for the years 2001 through 2011 and related income tax adjustments (14 cents per share) and gains from sales of non-utility land (11 cents per share). Higher operation and maintenance expense related to the implementation of a new customer information system and environmental remediation, and the impacts of unfavorable weather in the fourth quarter of 2015 partially offset the increase.

Due to the pending merger with Exelon, Pepco Holdings will not be providing earnings guidance for 2016.

Non-GAAP Financial Information

Management believes the adjusted net income and related per share data are representative of Pepco Holdings’ ongoing business operations. Management uses this information internally to evaluate Pepco Holdings’ period-over-period financial performance and, therefore, believes that this information is useful to investors. The presentation of adjusted net income and related per share data is intended to complement, and should not be considered as an alternative to, reported earnings and related per share data presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (GAAP).

Discontinued Operations

Net income from discontinued operations for the year ended December 31, 2015 was $9 million as a result of the global tax settlement with the IRS which resolves tax matters related to Pepco Holdings’ previously held cross-border energy lease investments. During 2014, there was no activity related to Pepco Holdings’ discontinued operations.

Recent Events

Pepco Holdings – Exelon Merger

On December 23, 2015, the record closed on the Exelon and Pepco Holdings merger proceeding pending with the District of Columbia Public Service Commission (DCPSC). District of Columbia law does not impose a time limit on the DCPSC’s review of the merger application. Pursuant to the settlement agreement entered into with the District of Columbia government and others, Pepco Holdings or Exelon may terminate the settlement agreement and the merger agreement if the DCPSC fails to issue a final order approving the merger without condition or modification of the terms of the settlement agreement by March 4, 2016.

On December 2, 2015, the Hart-Scott-Rodino Act (HSR Act) waiting period expired. The HSR Act no longer precludes the parties from closing the merger at any time on or before December 1, 2016.

Global Tax Settlement

On November 18, 2015, Pepco Holdings entered into a settlement with the IRS and the Department of Justice (DOJ) to provide for a resolution of all outstanding tax issues for the period 2001 through 2011 including the tax treatment of its previously held cross-border energy lease investments involving public utility assets located outside of the United States structured as sale-in, lease-out (SILO) transactions. On the same date, the DOJ accepted Pepco Holdings’ offer letter for the settlement of litigation related to Pepco Holdings’ SILO transactions. As a result of the settlement, Pepco Holdings and the DOJ filed stipulations of dismissal regarding outstanding litigation in the U.S. Court of Federal Claims. The Court dismissed the complaint on November 20, 2015. In the fourth quarter of 2015, Pepco Holdings recorded a tax benefit of $56 million, including $47 million associated with continuing operations and $9 million associated with discontinued operations.

Regulatory Matters

  • On November 6, 2015, a settlement agreement was filed with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) regarding the base return on equity (ROE) for transmission investments. The settlement agreement provides for a base ROE of 10 percent effective March 8, 2016 with an additional 50-basis-point incentive for being a member of a regional transmission organization. Under the settlement agreement, no party may file with FERC to change the base ROE or any incentives prior to June 1, 2018. The parties to the settlement agreement have requested FERC approval of the settlement agreement by March 16, 2016.

Financing

  • On January 13, 2016, Pepco Holdings entered into a $500 million unsecured term loan agreement with a term of six months. The net proceeds were used to repay outstanding commercial paper and for general corporate purposes.
  • On December 8, 2015, Atlantic City Electric issued $150 million of 10-year first mortgage bonds. The bonds bear interest at a fixed rate of 3.50 percent and are due December 1, 2025.
