UNISOURCE ENERGY REPORTS 2010 EARNINGS, INCREASES QUARTERLY DIVIDEND, AND
ISSUES EARNINGS GUIDANCE FOR 2011
  UniSource Energy’s net income for 2010 was $111.5 million, or $2.82 per share of common stock on a fully-diluted basis, compared with net income of $104.3 million, or $2.69 per diluted share in 2009.
 
  Excluding net losses at Millennium Energy Holdings (Millennium), a subsidiary that holds UniSource Energy’s unregulated energy investments, UniSource Energy’s 2010 net income was $124.9 million or $3.15 per diluted share. In 2010, Millennium recorded $13 million of non-cash, non-operating after-tax charges compared with net income of $2 million in 2009.
 
  The Board of Directors of UniSource Energy has declared a first quarter dividend for common shareholders of 42 cents per share.
 
  Earnings at UniSource Energy’s primary subsidiary, Tucson Electric Power Company (TEP), were $107.0 million in 2010 compared with $89.2 million in 2009. Cost control efforts, lower generating plant maintenance expense, benefits from the operation of Unit 4 at the Springerville Generating Station (SGS) and lower depreciation and amortization expense contributed to higher earnings at TEP.
 
  UniSource Energy reported operating cash flows of $342 million for 2010.
 
  UniSource Energy estimates its 2011 diluted earnings per share will be between $2.60 and $2.90.
Tucson, Ariz. — UniSource Energy Corporation (NYSE: UNS) today reported 2010 net income of $111.5 million, or $2.82 per share of common stock on a fully-diluted basis, compared with $104.3 million, or $2.69 per diluted share in 2009.
“Our 2010 financial results reflect the resilience of our core utility business in the face of a third consecutive year of declining retail sales at TEP,” said Paul Bonavia, UniSource Energy’s Chairman, President and CEO. “We have prudently managed our costs and continue to identify opportunities to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of our operations.”
TEP’s retail kilowatt-hour (kWh) sales in 2010 fell 0.8 percent from 2009 levels. Although the weather in TEP’s service area was hotter than normal, there were 3.5 percent fewer cooling degree days than in 2009. Sales volumes to TEP’s mining customers were strong, increasing by 1.4 percent compared with 2009. Mining activity in TEP’s service area continues to increase as the price of copper remains strong in response to robust demand.

“While we are encouraged by the sales outlook for our mining customers, we expect lingering weakness in the local economy and the implementation of additional energy efficiency programs to moderate any growth in sales to residential and business customers,” Bonavia said.
UniSource Energy’s earnings for 2011 are estimated to be in the range of $2.60 to $2.90 per diluted share. The mid-point of the range assumes consolidated base operations and maintenance (O&M) expense of $272 million and an increase in TEP’s annual kWh sales of 0.5 percent. In 2010, UniSource Energy’s consolidated base O&M expense was $265 million.
“If sales at TEP remain near current levels, the higher costs of necessary maintenance activity, combined with an increase in depreciation and interest expense, will put pressure on our earnings,” Bonavia said. TEP’s non-fuel base rates cannot be increased before 2013.
“Our operating cash flows, however, are expected to remain strong with $350 million forecasted for 2011,” Bonavia said. UniSource Energy posted operating cash flows in 2010 of $342 million, which exceeded capital expenditures of $317 million. “Our board of directors’ decision to increase the dividend signals its confidence in the company’s ability to continue its strong operating performance and maintain solid cash flows from operations.”
Common Stock Dividend
UniSource Energy’s board of directors declared a first quarter dividend for common shareholders of 42 cents per share. The dividend will be paid on March 23, 2011 to common shareholders of record as of March 11, 2011. In 2010, the company’s quarterly dividend was 39 cents per share.
The board’s decision to increase the dividend is consistent with the strategy it adopted in 2010, of continuing to increase the dividend and to reach a targeted dividend payout level of approximately 60 percent of UniSource Energy’s net income.
The declaration of dividend payments is at the board’s sole discretion and is subject to numerous factors that ordinarily affect dividend policy, including the results of UniSource Energy’s operations and its financial position as well as general economic and business conditions.

Retail kWh Sales
TEP’s retail kilowatt-hour (kWh) sales fell 0.8 percent in 2010 compared with 2009. Sales to residential customers decreased 0.9 percent, while kWh sales to TEP’s commercial and industrial sales declined by 1.3 percent and 1.0 percent, respectively. Sales to TEP’s mining customers increased by 1.4 percent in 2010 compared with the prior year.
During the fourth quarter of 2010, which included one of the warmest Decembers on record in Tucson, retail sales declined 0.3 percent compared with the same period last year. Although commercial, industrial, and mining customers all posted year-over-year sales increases in the fourth quarter of 2010, only residential – TEP’s most weather-sensitive customer class – consumed less electricity during the period.
Retail Revenues
Retail margin revenues decreased $5 million, or 1.0 percent, in 2010 compared with 2009. These revenues do not include a $12 million increase in customer surcharges used to fund renewable energy and energy efficiency programs or a $6 million decrease in charges to cover fuel and purchased power costs.

Long-Term Wholesale and Transmission Revenues
In 2010, the margin on long-term wholesale sales of electricity was $28 million compared with $25 million in 2009. The increase reflects higher kWh sales to the Navajo Tribal Utility Authority. Wholesale revenues from the sale of transmission services were $21 million in 2010 compared with $19 million in 2009.
Other Operating Expenses
TEP’s 2010 base O&M expense of $228 million was down $3 million, or 1.3 percent, from 2009 levels. Base O&M excludes costs directly offset by customer surcharges and third-party reimbursements. The reduction reflects the impact of cost containment efforts as well as lower generation maintenance outage expense.
Depreciation expense decreased by $10 million primarily due to new lower depreciation rates for transmission assets and lower depreciation on Unit 4 at TEP’s H. Wilson Sundt Generating Station. Those savings were partially offset by depreciation expense related to new plant additions. Amortization expense decreased $7 million due to a decline in the balance of capital lease obligations. The decreases in depreciation and amortization exclude adjustments made in 2009 related to an investment in Springerville Unit 1 lease equity.
Benefits of SGS Units 3 and 4
The December 2009 completion of SGS Unit 4 resulted in an $11 million increase in rents and fees for the operations of SGS Units 3 and 4. In 2010, rents and fees related to the operation of these Units totaled $24 million. Phoenix-based Salt River Project (SRP) owns Unit 4, while Tri-State Generation and Transmission Association leases Unit 3 from a financial owner. TEP operates all four units at the eastern Arizona plant.
Interest Expense
Total interest expense on long-term debt increased by $6 million in 2010 compared with 2009, primarily due to the January 2010 conversion of $130 million of bonds from a variable to a fixed rate.
UNS Gas
UNS Gas reported net income of $9 million in 2010 compared with $7 million in 2009. The increase resulted from a 3.7 percent increase in retail therm sales and a 2 percent non-fuel base rate increase that took effect in April 2010. Cooler weather drove heating degree days 3 percent higher than in 2009 and 3 percent higher than the 10-year average.
UNS Electric
UNS Electric reported net income of $10 million in 2010 compared with $6 million in the previous year. The increase is due primarily to a 4.1 percent increase in kWh sales, a 4 percent non-fuel base rate increase that took effect October 1, 2010 and a settlement related to previous transactions with the California Power Exchange that resulted in after-tax income of $2 million.
The increase in UNS Electric’s retail kWh sales reflects higher usage by a copper mining customer and the addition of a new industrial customer.

Millennium
Millennium recorded a $13 million net loss in 2010 compared with net income of $2 million in 2009.
Millennium’s 2010 results include $3 million of income tax expense related to the write-off of deferred tax assets and an $8 million after-tax impairment loss related to its investments.
In the fourth quarter of 2010, Millennium recorded a net loss of $4 million, compared with a net loss of $1 million in the fourth quarter of 2009.
On December 31, 2010, Millennium had assets of $22 million, including a $15 million note receivable, land and buildings of $2 million, deferred tax assets of $2 million and cash of $3 million.
Seasonality of Earnings
The net income and results of operations of TEP as well as of UNS Gas and UNS Electric — operating subsidiaries of UniSource Energy Services (UES) — are seasonal in nature. TEP and UNS Electric typically record the majority of their net income during the second and third quarters when hot weather contributes to higher energy consumption. TEP’s retail prices, which include higher rates for higher levels of energy use, also shift a larger share of the company’s earnings into those periods.
Energy demand from UNS Gas customers typically peaks during the winter. Accordingly, UNS Gas records the majority of its net income during the first and fourth quarters.
