NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

1. General

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments, which include only normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair statement of our consolidated financial position as of June 30, 2012, and our consolidated results of operations, and cash flows for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011. The consolidated results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012, are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the entire year. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in our 2011 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

The accompanying financial statements reflect the consolidated accounts of Old Dominion Electric Cooperative and TEC. We are a not-for-profit wholesale power supply cooperative, incorporated under the laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia in 1948. We have two classes of members. Our Class A members are eleven customer-owned electric distribution cooperatives engaged in the retail sale of power to member consumers located in Virginia, Delaware, and Maryland. Our sole Class B member is TEC, a taxable corporation owned by our member distribution cooperatives. Our board of directors is composed of two representatives from each of the member distribution cooperatives and one representative from TEC. In accordance with Consolidation Accounting, TEC is considered a variable interest entity for which we are the primary beneficiary. We have eliminated all intercompany balances and transactions in consolidation. The assets and liabilities and non-controlling interest of TEC are recorded at carrying value and the net consolidated assets were $13.1 million at June 30, 2012, and December 31, 2011. The income taxes reported on our Condensed Consolidated Statement of Revenues, Expenses, and Patronage Capital relate to the tax provision for TEC. As TEC is 100% owned by our Class A members, its equity is presented as a non-controlling interest in our consolidated financial statements.

Our rates are set periodically by a formula that was accepted for filing by FERC, but are not regulated by the respective states’ public service commissions.

We comply with the Uniform System of Accounts as prescribed by FERC. In conformity with GAAP, the accounting policies and practices applied by us in the determination of rates are also employed for financial reporting purposes.

The preparation of our consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported therein. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

We do not have any other comprehensive income for the periods presented.

Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior years’ consolidated financial statements to conform to the current year’s presentation.

 

2. Fair Value Measurements

The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices in active markets (Level 1) and the lowest priority to unobservable data (Level 3). In some cases, the inputs used to measure fair value might fall in different levels of the fair value hierarchy. The lowest level input that is significant to a fair value measurement in its entirety determines the applicable level in the fair value hierarchy. Assessing the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment, considering factors specific to the asset or liability.

(1)

For additional information about our nuclear decommissioning trust see Note 4 below.

(2) 

Nuclear decommissioning trust includes investments that are available for sale and classified as level 2. These level 2 assets consist of an equity fund that attempts to replicate the return of the S&P 500 and an equity fund that seeks long-term capital appreciation by investing in a portfolio of small capitalization stocks. The fair values of the investments in the nuclear decommissioning trust have been estimated using the net asset value per share.

(3) 

Unrestricted investments and other includes investments that were available for sale and classified as level 1 related to equity securities.

(4) 

Derivatives—gas and power represent natural gas futures contracts and purchased power contracts, which are recorded on our balance sheet in deferred credits and other liabilities—other. The level 2 derivatives—gas and power include gas and purchased power contracts valued by ACES. The gas contracts are indexed against NYMEX and the purchased power contracts are valued using observable market inputs for similar transactions. For additional information about our derivative financial instruments, see Notes 1 and 4 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in our 2011 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

We did not have any financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis and included in the Level 3 fair value category.

 

3. Derivatives and Hedging:

We are exposed to market purchases of power and natural gas to meet the power supply needs of our member distribution cooperatives that are not met by our owned generation. To manage this exposure, we utilize derivative instruments. See Note 1 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in our 2011 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Changes in the fair value of our derivative instruments accounted for at fair value are recorded as a regulatory asset or regulatory liability. The change in these accounts is included in the operating activities section of our statement of cash flows.

Our hedging activities expose us to credit-related risks. We use hedging instruments, including forwards, futures, financial transmission rights, and options, to manage our power market price risks. Because we rely substantially on the use of hedging instruments, we are exposed to the risk that counterparties will default in performance of their obligations to us. Although we assess the creditworthiness of counterparties and other credit issues related to these purchases, and we may require our counterparties to post collateral with us, defaults may still occur. Defaults may take the form of failure to physically deliver the purchased energy or failure to pay. If this occurs, we may be forced to enter into alternative contractual arrangements or purchase energy in the forward, short-term or spot markets at then-current market prices that may be more or less than the prices previously agreed upon with the defaulting counterparty.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Caution Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations contains forward looking statements regarding matters that could have an impact on our business, financial condition, and future operations. These statements, based on our expectations and estimates, are not guarantees of future performance and are subject to risks, uncertainties, and other factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed in the forward looking statements. These risks, uncertainties, and other factors include, but are not limited to, general business conditions, demand for energy, federal and state legislative and regulatory actions and legal and administrative proceedings, changes in and compliance with environmental laws and policies, general credit and capital market conditions, weather conditions, the cost of commodities used in our industry, and unanticipated changes in operating expenses and capital expenditures. Our actual results may vary materially from those discussed in the forward looking statements as a result of these and other factors. Any forward looking statement speaks only as of the date on which the statement is made, and we undertake no obligation to update any forward looking statement or statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date on which the statement is made even if new information becomes available or other events occur in the future.

Critical Accounting Policies

As of June 30, 2012, there have been no significant changes in our critical accounting policies as disclosed in our 2011 Annual Report on Form 10-K. These policies include the accounting for rate regulation, deferred energy, margin stabilization plan, accounting for asset retirement obligations, and accounting for derivative contracts.

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying financial statements reflect the consolidated accounts of Old Dominion Electric Cooperative and TEC. See Note 1—Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in Part 1, Item 1.

Overview

We are a not-for-profit power supply cooperative owned entirely by our eleven Class A member distribution cooperatives and a Class B member, TEC. We supply our member distribution cooperatives’ power requirements, consisting of capacity requirements and energy requirements, through a portfolio of resources including generating facilities, long-term and short-term physically-delivered forward power purchase contracts, and spot market purchases.

Weather affects the demand for electricity. We experienced milder weather during the three and six months ended June 30, 2012, as compared to the same periods in 2011, which resulted in a reduction in our member distribution cooperatives’ customers’ requirements for power.

Fuel and purchased power expenses are affected by market pricing, the output provided by our owned generation, and our member distribution cooperatives’ customers’ requirements for power. Fuel expense decreased for the three months ended June 30, 2012, as compared to the same period in 2011, primarily as a result of maintenance outages at Clover. Fuel expense also decreased for the six months ended June 30, 2012, as compared to the same period in 2011. The decrease was the result of a decrease in the average cost of fuel for our combustion turbine facilities, decreased economic dispatch of our combustion turbine facilities, and the maintenance outages at Clover. Purchased power expense decreased for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012, as compared to the same periods in 2011 due to a decrease in the average cost of purchased power and the decrease in our member distribution cooperatives’ customers’ requirements for power.

Deferred energy expense represents the difference between energy revenues and energy expenses. In the three and six months ended June 30, 2012, we over-collected energy costs from our member distribution cooperatives as compared to the same periods in 2011 when we under-collected energy costs. Over-collected energy costs appear as a liability on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet and will be refunded to our member distribution cooperatives in subsequent periods through our formulary rate. For further discussion on deferred energy, see Item 7 Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Critical Accounting Policies—Deferred Energy in our 2011 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Table of Contents

Operations and maintenance expense is affected by scheduled and unscheduled outages at our generating facilities. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2012, both units at Clover experienced scheduled and unscheduled outages and North Anna Unit 1 experienced scheduled and unscheduled outages. The unscheduled outages at both facilities were primarily due to extensions of original scheduled outages to address additional maintenance items.

We have a Margin Stabilization Plan that allows us to review our actual capacity-related costs of service and capacity revenue and adjust revenues from our member distribution cooperatives to meet our financial coverage requirements and accumulate additional equity as approved by our board of directors. In accordance with our Margin Stabilization Plan, as of June 30, 2012, we had $6.9 million recorded as accounts payable—members as compared to $4.9 million as of December 31, 2011. For further discussion on our margin stabilization plan, see Item 7 Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Critical Accounting Policies—Margin Stabilization Plan in our 2011 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Factors Affecting Results

Formulary Rate

Our power sales are comprised of two power products—energy and capacity (also referred to as demand). Energy is the physical electricity delivered through transmission and distribution facilities to customers. We must have sufficient committed energy available to us for delivery to our member distribution cooperatives to meet their maximum energy needs at any time, with limited exceptions. This committed available energy is referred to as capacity.

The rates we charge our member distribution cooperatives for sales of energy and capacity are determined by a formulary rate accepted by FERC which is intended to permit collection of revenues which will equal the sum of:

 

   

all of our costs and expenses;

 

   

20% of our total interest charges; and

 

   

additional equity contributions approved by our board of directors.

The formulary rate has three main components: a demand rate, a base energy rate and an energy adjustment rate. The formulary rate identifies the cost components that we can collect through rates, but not the actual amounts to be collected. With limited minor exceptions, we can change our rates periodically to match the costs we have incurred and we expect to incur without seeking FERC approval. For further discussion on our formulary rate, see Item 7 Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Factors Affecting Results—Formulary Rate in our 2011 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Related to our contracts from renewable facilities from which we purchase renewable energy credits. We sell these renewable energy credits to our member distribution cooperatives and any remaining renewable energy credits are sold to non-members.

Generating Facilities

Our operating expenses, and consequently our rates to our member distribution cooperatives, are significantly affected by the operations of our baseload generating facilities, Clover and North Anna. Baseload generating facilities, particularly nuclear power plants such as North Anna, generally have relatively high fixed costs. Nuclear facilities operate with relatively low variable costs due to lower fuel costs and technological efficiencies. In addition, coal-fired facilities have relatively low variable costs, as compared to combustion turbine facilities such as Louisa, Marsh Run, and Rock Springs. Our combustion turbine facilities have relatively low fixed costs and greater operational flexibility; however, they are more expensive to operate and, as a result, are dispatched only when the market price of energy makes their operation economical or when their operation is required by PJM for system reliability purposes. For further discussion on PJM, see Item 1 Business—Power Supply Resources—PJM in our 2011 Annual Report on Form 10-K. Owners of power plants incur the fixed costs of these facilities whether or not the units operate.

Our generating facilities are under dispatch control of PJM. Typically, nuclear facilities are almost always dispatched, and coal-fired and combustion turbine facilities are dispatched based upon economic factors including the market price of energy. The operational availability of Clover for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, was as follows:

 

     Clover  
     Three Months Ended

    Six Months Ended

Sales to Member Distribution Cooperatives

Revenues from sales to our member distribution cooperatives are a function of our formulary rate for sales of power to our member distribution cooperatives and our member distribution cooperatives’ consumers’ requirements for power. Our formulary rate is based on our cost of service in meeting these requirements. See “Factors Affecting Results—Formulary Rate” above.

Sales to TEC

In accordance with Consolidation Accounting, TEC is considered a variable interest entity for which ODEC is the primary beneficiary. The financial statements of TEC are consolidated and the inter-company balances are eliminated in consolidation. TEC’s sales to third parties are reflected as non-member revenues. In 2012 and 2011, TEC had no sales to third parties.

Sales to Non-members

Sales to non-members consist of sales of excess purchased and generated energy. We primarily sell excess energy to PJM at the prevailing market price at the time of sale. Excess energy is the result of changes in our purchased power portfolio, differences between actual and forecasted needs, as well as changes in market conditions.

Our energy sales in MWh to our member distribution cooperatives for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012, were 2.4% and 5.6% lower, respectively, as compared to the same periods in 2011. Our demand sales in MW to our member distribution cooperatives for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012, were 2.6% and 2.7% lower, respectively, as compared to the same periods in 2011. These decreases were primarily a result of milder weather in 2012 as compared to 2011.

Our energy sales in MWh to non-members for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 were 77.0% and 52.3% lower, respectively, as compared to the same periods in 2011. Sales to non-members consist of sales of excess purchased and generated energy.

Total revenues from sales to our member distribution cooperatives for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012, decreased $5.6 million, or 2.8%, and $14.5 million, or 3.4%, respectively, as compared to the same periods in 2011. The decrease in total revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2012, is primarily related to the 2.4% decrease in our energy sales volume. The decrease in total revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2012, is primarily related to the 5.6% decrease in our energy sales volume, partially offset by a 2.2% increase in our total energy rate (our total energy rate includes our base energy rate and our energy rate). Additionally, the capacity costs we incurred, and thus the capacity-related revenues we reflected, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012, were 2.6% and 3.3% lower, respectively, as compared to the same periods in 2011, primarily due to a decrease in the cost of purchased capacity.

Our average cost per MWh to member distribution cooperatives for the three months ended June 30, 2012, was relatively flat and for the six months ended June 30, 2012, increased $1.61 per MWh, or 2.3%, as compared to the same periods in 2011. The increase for the six months ended June 30, 2012, was primarily due to the 2.2% increase in our total energy rate, and an increase in the average cost of demand (capacity) on a per MWh basis. Our capacity-related revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2012, decreased 3.3%, while our MWh volume decreased 5.6%, resulting in a higher average cost of demand on a per MWh basis, as compared to the same period in 2011.

Our operating expenses are comprised of the costs that we incur to generate and purchase power to meet the needs of our member distribution cooperatives, and the costs associated with any sales of power to non-members. Our energy costs generally are variable and include fuel expense as well as the energy portion of our purchased power expense. Our capacity or demand costs generally are fixed and include administrative and general, and depreciation and amortization expenses, as well as the capacity portion of our purchased power expense. Additionally, all non-operating expenses and income items, including interest charges, net and investment income, are components of our capacity costs. See “Factors Affecting Results—Formulary Rate.”

Total operating expenses decreased $19.0 million, or 9.4%, and $28.7 million, or 6.8%, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012, respectively, as compared to the same periods in 2011, primarily due to decreases in purchased power and fuel expenses partially offset by increases in deferred energy and operations and maintenance expenses.

 

   

Purchased power expense, which includes the cost of purchased energy, capacity, and transmission, decreased $25.4 million, or 17.5%, and $49.1 million, or 16.0%, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012, respectively. The average cost of purchased power was 13.0% and 10.2% lower for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012, respectively, as compared to the same periods in 2011. Additionally, the volume of purchased power decreased 5.1% and 6.5% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012, respectively, as compared to the same periods in 2011, primarily due to milder weather.

 

   

Fuel expense decreased $7.6 million, or 28.4%, and $15.3 million, or 24.7%, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012, respectively, as compared to the same periods in 2011. The decrease for the three months was primarily a result of the maintenance outages at Clover. The decrease for the six months was the result of a decrease in the average cost of fuel for our combustion turbine facilities, decreased economic dispatch of our combustion turbine facilities by PJM, and the maintenance outages at Clover.

 

   

Deferred energy expense increased $7.3 million and $28.3 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012, respectively, as compared to the same periods in 2011. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2012, we over-collected $6.0 million and $15.4 million, respectively, in energy costs; whereas for the same periods in 2011, we under-collected $1.4 million and $12.9 million, respectively, in energy costs. Our deferred energy balance was a net over-collection of energy costs of $34.7 million at December 31, 2011, as compared to a net over-collection of energy costs of $50.1 million at June 30, 2012.

 

   

Operations and maintenance expense increased $6.8 million, or 80.6%, and $8.8 million, or 52.5%, due to scheduled and unscheduled maintenance outages at Clover and North Anna during the three and six months ended June 30, 2012, as compared to the same periods in 2011.

Other Items

Investment Income

Investment income decreased for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012, by $0.1 million, or 7.6%, and $0.5 million, or 17.1%, respectively, primarily due to lower income earned on our nuclear decommissioning trust in 2012 as compared to 2011.

Interest Charges, Net

The primary factors affecting our interest charges, net are issuances of indebtedness, scheduled payments of principal on our indebtedness, interest charges related to our credit facilities, and capitalized interest. The major components of interest charges, net for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, were as follows:

Interest expense on long-term debt decreased $2.4 million, or 16.3%, and $1.5 million, or 5.7%, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012, respectively, as compared to the same periods in 2011. We issued $350.0 million of debt in April 2011 and repaid $215.0 million of maturing debt in June 2011, resulting in additional interest expense on long-term debt for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011.

Net Margin Attributable to ODEC

Net margin attributable to ODEC, which is a function of our total interest charges plus any additional equity contributions approved by our board of directors, decreased $0.6 million, or 18.2%, and $0.4 million, or 7.9%, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012, respectively, as compared to the same periods in 2011 due to lower total interest charges.

Financial Condition

The principal changes in our financial condition from December 31, 2011 to June 30, 2012, were caused by the decrease in accounts payable—members, substantially offset by increases in deferred energy, unrestricted investments and other, and fuel, materials, and supplies.

 

   

Accounts payable—members decreased $33.1 million due to the $35.1 million decrease in member prepayments and the $2.0 million increase in the margin stabilization adjustment as compared to December 2011.

 

   

Deferred energy increased $15.4 million as a result of the over-collection of our energy costs in 2012.

 

   

Unrestricted investments and other increased $10.0 million as a result of the investment of excess working capital.

 

   

Fuel, materials, and supplies increased $8.5 million primarily as a result of increased coal supply at Clover.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Sources

Cash generated by our operations, periodic borrowings under our credit facilities, and occasional issuances of long-term indebtedness provide our sources of liquidity and capital.

Operations

During the first six months of 2012 and 2011 our operating activities provided cash flows of $3.5 million and $12.3 million, respectively. Operating activities in 2012 were primarily impacted by the following:

 

   

Current liabilities changed $28.5 million primarily due to the $33.1 million decrease in accounts payable—members partially offset by the $3.0 million increase in accounts payable and the $1.6 million increase in accrued expenses.

 

   

Deferred energy changed $15.4 million due to the over-collection of energy costs in 2012.

 

   

Current assets changed $13.3 million primarily due to the $8.5 million increase in fuel, materials, and supplies, the $4.2 million increase in accounts receivable—deposits and the $3.4 million increase in accounts receivable—members.

Credit Facilities

In addition to liquidity from our operating activities, we currently maintain a $500.0 million, five-year revolving credit facility to cover our short-term and medium-term funding needs. At June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, we did not have any borrowings outstanding under this facility.

Financings

We fund the portion of our capital expenditures that we are not able to supply from operations through financings in the debt capital markets. These capital expenditures consist primarily of the costs related to the development, construction, acquisition, or improvement of our owned generating facilities.

Uses

Our uses of liquidity and capital relate to funding our working capital needs, investment activities, and financing activities. Substantially all of our investment activities relate to capital expenditures in connection with our generating facilities. We expect that cash flows from our operations, our syndicated credit facility, and potential long-term borrowings will be sufficient to meet our currently anticipated operational and capital requirements.
