Pepco Holdings Reports Full-Year and Fourth-Quarter 2009 Earnings;
Conference Call Scheduled
Pepco Holdings, Inc. (NYSE: POM) today reported full year 2009 consolidated earnings of $235 million, or $1.06 per share, compared to $300 million, or $1.47 per share, in 2008. Excluding special items (as described below), earnings for the full year 2009 would have been $200 million, or 91 cents per share, compared to $393 million, or $1.93 per share, in 2008. The weighted average number of basic shares outstanding in 2009 was 221 million compared to 204 million in 2008.
The earnings decrease, excluding special items, for the full year 2009 as compared to the prior year was driven primarily by lower Conectiv Energy and Power Delivery earnings. The lower Conectiv Energy earnings were primarily the result of lower generation output, reduced spark spreads and dark spreads, and the performance of economic fuel hedges. The lower Power Delivery earnings were primarily due to higher operation and maintenance expense, driven largely by increased pension expense, higher depreciation, and higher interest expense. The recognition of lower benefits from income tax adjustments than in 2008 and the effect of dilution negatively impacted the companys consolidated results.
2009 was a challenging earnings year given the pressures of the wholesale energy market, the economic downturn, and the impact of higher pension expense and capital costs principally incurred to support rate base growth not yet fully reflected in regulated rates, said Joseph M. Rigby, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer. However, the year was also marked by steady progress on our key growth initiatives. Our vision of a smart grid is becoming a reality. We began to install advanced meters for our Delaware customers, accelerated our smart grid plans in our other jurisdictions with the help of federal stimulus grant awards, and implemented decoupling in another of our service territories. In addition to our smart grid investments, we made significant investments in our transmission and distribution infrastructure to improve reliability, including $130 million for transmission projects above and beyond our spending for the Mid-Atlantic Power Pathway project.
Rigby also commented on the significant progress on the regulatory front. We filed electric distribution rate cases in each of the five electric jurisdictions we serve. We received a decision in the first of these cases which approved a revenue increase for Delmarva Power and reflected adherence to important regulatory precedents. We will continue to seek rate increases and other cost recovery mechanisms that reduce regulatory lag and provide us an opportunity to earn the authorized rates of return.

For the fourth quarter of 2009, consolidated earnings were $41 million, or 18 cents per share, compared to $67 million, or 32 cents per share, for the fourth quarter of 2008. There were no special items in either period. The weighted average number of basic shares outstanding for the fourth quarter of 2009 was 222 million compared to 211 million for the same period in the prior year.
The decrease in earnings for the fourth quarter of 2009 compared to earnings in the fourth quarter of 2008 was primarily caused by lower Power Delivery earnings due to higher operation and maintenance expenses and lower distribution sales caused by mild weather. At Pepco Energy Services, higher capital costs led to lower earnings.
Full Year Highlights
Regulatory Decisions
| On Jan. 14, 2010, the Maryland Public Service Commission (MPSC) granted PHIs request to suspend the procedural schedule relating to PHIs application to build the Mid-Atlantic Power Pathway (MAPP) project pending completion of PJM Interconnections annual study to re-evaluate the regions over-all transmission needs. This study is scheduled to be completed by June 2010 and will determine any impact on the planned in-service date for the project. |
| On Dec. 17, 2009, the District of Columbia Public Service Commission (DCPSC) approved Pepcos request to establish a regulatory asset to capture the costs related to the deployment of Advanced Metering Infrastructure. |
| On Dec. 2, 2009, the MPSC approved an $8 million annual increase in Delmarva Powers electric distribution base rates, effective Dec. 2, 2009, that is based on a 10.0% return on equity. The MPSC also approved the resetting of the Standard Offer Service uncollectible rate for residential customers resulting in a $2 million annual increase in revenue. |
| On Sept. 28, 2009, the DCPSC approved the revenue decoupling rate structure proposed by Pepco, effective Nov. 1, 2009. |
| In Nov. 2008, Pepco filed proposals with the DCPSC and the MPSC to share with customers the remaining balance of the proceeds from the Mirant bankruptcy settlement. On March 5, 2009, the DCPSC approved Pepcos proposal for the sharing of the District of Columbia portion of the proceeds. After giving effect to the sharing arrangement, Pepco recorded a pre-tax gain of $14 million in the first quarter of 2009. On July 2, 2009, the MPSC approved a settlement agreement providing for the sharing of the Maryland portion of the proceeds. As a result, Pepco recorded a pre-tax gain of $26 million in the third quarter of 2009. |

Regulatory Pending Cases
| On Dec. 30, 2009, Pepco filed an electric distribution base rate case in Maryland. The filing seeks approval of an annual rate increase of $40 million, based on a requested return on equity of 10.75%. A decision is expected from the MPSC in late July 2010. |
| On Sept. 18, 2009, Delmarva Power filed an electric distribution base rate case in Delaware. The filing seeks approval of an annual rate increase of $28 million, based on a requested return on equity of 10.75%. The proposed rate design incorporates the revenue decoupling rate structure previously approved in concept by the Delaware Public Service Commission (DPSC). Delmarva Power effected an annual rate increase of $2.5 million on a temporary basis on Nov. 17, 2009, subject to refund and pending final DPSC approval, which is expected in July 2010. |
| On Aug. 14, 2009, Atlantic City Electric filed a distribution base rate case in New Jersey. The filing seeks approval of an annual rate increase of $54 million, based on a requested return on equity of 11.50%. Alternatively, the filing seeks an annual rate increase of $52 million, based on a requested return on equity of 11.25%, if a revenue decoupling mechanism is approved. Hearings are scheduled to begin on May 24, 2010. |
| On May 22, 2009, Pepco filed a distribution base rate case in the District of Columbia. The filing seeks approval of an annual rate increase of $50 million, based on a requested return on equity of 11.25% (subsequently revised by Pepco to 10.75%). A decision is expected from the DCPSC in early 2010. |
Operations
| Power Delivery electric sales were 48,702 gigawatt hours (GWh) in 2009, compared to 49,967 GWh in 2008. In the electric service territory, heating degree days were higher by 7% and cooling degree days were lower by 14% in 2009, compared to 2008. Weather adjusted electric sales were 48,783 GWh in 2009, compared to 49,705 GWh in 2008. |
| In Nov. 2009, Delmarva Power began full scale installation of advanced meters for all of its Delaware electric and gas customers. On Oct. 27, the U.S. Department of Energy announced that Pepco and Atlantic City Electric had been awarded a total of $168 million in federal stimulus funds to help build Smart Grid projects in the District of Columbia, Maryland and New Jersey. |
| On June 1, 2009, Conectiv Energys Cumberland plant was placed into commercial operation. The 100 megawatt combustion turbine is located in Cumberland County, NJ. The total construction expenditure for this project was $75 million, including capitalized interest. |

Exit from Retail Energy Business
| On Dec. 7, 2009, Pepco Energy Services announced that it is exiting its retail energy supply business through an orderly wind down. In the fourth quarter, Pepco Energy Services recorded a pre-tax impairment charge of $4 million, reflecting the write off of all goodwill allocated to this business, and a pre-tax charge of less than $1 million related to employee severance expenditures. PHI expects the retail energy supply business will remain profitable through Dec. 31, 2012, based on its existing contract backlog and its hedge position, with minimal losses beyond that date. Pepco Energy Services remaining line of business - principally providing energy savings performance contracting services to federal, state and local government customers - will not be affected by the wind down of the retail energy supply business. |
Fourth Quarter Highlights
Operations
| Power Delivery electric sales were 11,333 gigawatt hours (GWh) in the fourth quarter of 2009, compared to 11,676 GWh for the same period last year. In the electric service territory, heating degree days were lower by 6% and cooling degree days were lower by 57% for the three months ended Dec. 31, 2009, compared to the same period in 2008. Weather adjusted electric sales were 11,446 GWh in the fourth quarter of 2009, compared to 11,630 GWh for the same period last year. |
| Conectiv Energys gross margin on Merchant Generation and Load Service was $49 million in the fourth quarter of 2009, compared to $41 million in the fourth quarter of 2008. The increase was due to higher capacity revenue resulting from higher capacity prices and a lower of cost or market adjustment to fuel inventory that was recorded in the 2008 period, partially offset by lower margins on default electricity supply contracts and lower generation spark spreads and dark spreads. |
| Pepco Energy Services had retail commercial and industrial electricity sales of 3,780 GWh in the fourth quarter of 2009, compared to sales of 4,912 GWh in the fourth quarter of 2008. |
Other
| In Feb. 2010, PHIs service territories were impacted by two severe winter storms. The cost of system restoration is currently estimated to range between $30 million and $35 million. A portion of the restoration cost will be expensed with the balance being charged to capital. |

Notes:
(1) | Merchant Generation and Load Service consists primarily of electric power, capacity, and ancillary services sales from Conectiv Energys generating plants; tolling arrangements entered into to sell energy and other products from Conectiv Energys generating plants and entered into to purchase energy and other products from other companies generating plants; hedges of power, capacity, fuel and load; the sale of excess fuel (primarily natural gas) and emission allowances; electric power, capacity, and ancillary services sales pursuant to competitively bid contracts entered into with affiliated and non-affiliated companies to fulfill their default electricity supply obligations; and fuel switching activities made possible by the multi-fuel capabilities of some of Conectiv Energys generating plants. |
(2) | Energy Marketing consists primarily of power origination, which primarily represents the fixed margin component of structured power transactions such as default electricity supply service, wholesale natural gas marketing, fuel oil marketing, and the activities of the short-term power desk which generates margin by identifying and capturing price differences between power pools, and locational and timing differences within a power pool. |
(3) | Higher generating plant output during the fourth quarter of 2009 compared to 2008 was primarily due to higher run time at the gas combined cycle units resulting from low natural gas prices and unit flexibility. Lower generating plant output during the full year 2009 compared to 2008 was primarily due to decreased demand for electricity related to the economic recession and mild weather. Coal generation experienced the sharpest decline because low natural gas prices caused more flexible natural gas units to replace coal generation in the dispatch order. |
(4) | Lower load service volumes during the fourth quarter and full year 2009 compared to the 2008 periods were primarily due to less load service under contract, decreased demand for electricity related to the economic recession and mild weather, and migration from default electricity supply service due to lower power prices. |
(5) | Higher Merchant Generation and Load Service gross margins for the fourth quarter of 2009 compared to 2008 were primarily due to higher capacity revenue resulting from higher capacity prices and a lower of cost or market adjustment to fuel inventory that was recorded in the 2008 period, partially offset by lower margins on default electricity supply contracts and lower generation spark spreads and dark spreads. Lower Merchant Generation and Load Service gross margins for the full year 2009 compared to 2008 were driven by lower generation output and lower spark spreads and dark spreads, and decreased mark-to-market and settled gains on derivative instruments, primarily natural gas and coal; partially offset by higher capacity prices and a lower of cost or market adjustment to fuel inventory that was recorded in 2008. |
(6) | Lower Operations and Maintenance Expenses in the fourth quarter and full year 2009 compared to the 2008 periods were primarily due to postponed plant maintenance projects because of lower run-time and other cost-saving measures. |
