Today, UIL Holdings Corporation (NYSE: UIL) reported consolidated net income of $12.5 million, or $0.22 per diluted share, for the third quarter 2014, compared to $5.1 million, or $0.10 per diluted share, for the third quarter 2013. For the first nine months of 2014, consolidated net income was $77.3 million, or $1.35 per diluted share, compared to $74.9 million, or $1.46 per diluted share, for the same period in 2013.

“Earnings for the quarter and year to date 2014 were negatively impacted by non-recurring items noted above. We will continue to closely manage our operations and maintenance costs at all our companies for the remainder of the year to help mitigate some of these charges, and we will continue to implement our strategic initiatives,” commented James P. Torgerson, UIL’s president and chief executive officer. “We have added over 9,400 natural gas heating customers through September, which is 97% of our year-to-date forecast. We are optimistic that we will exceed the 14,947 conversions we achieved in 2013 and will continue to work diligently towards our long-term goal of adding nearly 200,000 new gas heating customers by 2023.”

“In early March, we announced an agreement with the City of Philadelphia to acquire Philadelphia Gas Works (PGW), subject to approvals from the Philadelphia City Council and the Pennsylvania Public Utility Commission,” added Torgerson. “However, on October 27, 2014, the City Council announced that it had informed Philadelphia Mayor Michael Nutter that the City Council would not endorse the proposed sale of the assets of PGW.”

“We have expressed our disappointment in the City Council’s announcement that it plans for no public consideration or vote on the transaction and no opportunity to refute the characterizations by Concentric, the City Council’s consultant, of our commitment to the many considerations and objectives that are important to the City Council,” added Torgerson. “On October 28, 2014, we announced that we will determine whether to exercise our contractual right to terminate the agreement with the City and make a determination on future action within two weeks.”

Electric distribution & Other

The electric distribution business earned $17.9 million, or $0.31 per diluted share, for the third quarter 2014, compared to $7.1 million, or $0.14 per diluted share, for the same period in 2013. For the first nine months of 2014, the electric distribution business earned $43.1 million, or $0.75 per diluted share, compared to $33.7 million, or $0.66 per diluted share, for the same period in 2013.

Consolidated earnings for the third quarter and first nine months of 2013 reflect after-tax rate case disallowances of $10.5 million, or $0.21 per diluted share, as discussed above. Excluding these disallowances, the electric distribution business earned $17.9 million, or $0.31 per diluted share, for the third quarter 2014, compared to $17.6 million, or $0.35 per diluted share, for the third quarter 2013. Excluding these disallowances, the electric distribution business earned $43.1 million, or $0.75 per diluted share, for the first nine months of 2014, compared to $44.2 million, or $0.87 per diluted share, for the same period in 2013. The decrease in earnings for the first nine months of 2014 was mainly due to increased uncollectible expense.

Electric transmission

The electric transmission business earned $5.5 million, or $0.10 per diluted share, for the third quarter 2014, compared to $7.1 million, or $0.14 per diluted share, for the same period in 2013. For the first nine months of 2014, the electric transmission business earned $23.1 million, or $0.40 per diluted share, compared to $24.7 million, or $0.48 per diluted share, for the same period in 2013.
 
- more -
 
Consolidated earnings for the third quarter and first nine months of 2014 and 2013 reflect reserves recorded relating to the ROE proceedings pending at the FERC in the amounts of $3.2 million, or $0.06 per diluted share, and $1.5 million, or $0.03 per diluted share, for 2014 and 2013, respectively. Excluding these FERC ROE reserves, the electric transmission business earned $8.7 million, or $0.16 per diluted share, for the third quarter 2014, compared to $8.6 million, or $0.17 per diluted share, for the third quarter 2013. Excluding these reserves, the electric transmission business earned $26.3 million, or $0.46 per diluted share, for the first nine months of 2014, compared to $26.2 million, or $0.51 per diluted share, for the first nine months of 2013.

Gas distribution

The gas distribution business incurred a loss, consistent with the seasonal nature of the gas business, of $6.5 million, or $0.11 per diluted share, for the third quarter 2014, compared to a loss of $6.3 million, or $0.12 per diluted share, for the third quarter 2013. The increased loss for the third quarter was primarily due to increased uncollectible expense.

For the first nine months of 2014, the gas distribution business earned $30.3 million, or $0.53 per diluted share, compared to $24.3 million, or $0.48 per diluted share, for the same period in 2013. The increase in earnings in 2014 was primarily due to colder weather, increased customer growth and increased normalized usage per customer, partially offset by increased uncollectible expense.

The gross margin impacts from weather, normalized usage per customer and customer growth are presented in the table below:

Corporate

Corporate costs were $4.4 million, or $0.08 per diluted share, for the third quarter 2014, compared to costs of $2.8 million, or $0.06 per diluted share, for the third quarter 2013. For the first nine months of 2014, Corporate costs were $19.2 million, or $0.33 per diluted share, compared to costs of $7.8 million, or $0.16 per diluted share, for the same period in 2013.

Excluding the after-tax acquisition-related expenses of $0.9 million, or $0.02 per diluted share, Corporate costs for the third quarter of 2014 were $3.5 million, or $0.06 per diluted share, compared to costs of $2.8 million, or $0.06 per diluted share, for the third quarter 2013. Corporate cost variances for the third quarter were primarily due to the partial reversal of an interim tax benefit recognized in the first quarter 2014, which adjusted consolidated tax expense to the projected, annualized consolidated income tax rate.

Excluding the after-tax acquisition-related expenses of $12.8 million, or $0.22 per diluted share, Corporate costs for the first nine months of 2014 were $6.4 million, or $0.11 per diluted share, compared to costs of $7.8 million, or $0.16 per diluted share, for the same period in 2013. The decrease in costs was primarily due to an increase in the return on shared capital assets.

Looking Forward
 
UIL is revising its 2014 earnings guidance from $1.94 to $2.14 per diluted share to $1.80 to $2.00 per diluted share and its 2014 Consolidated net income guidance from a range of $110 million to $122 million to a range of $103 million to $114 million. The revisions reflect increased acquisition-related expenses related to Philadelphia Gas Works and regulatory reserves, which relate primarily to UIL’s current assessment of the ultimate outcome of the FERC ROE proceedings. Excluding the impact of these non-recurring items, UIL has narrowed its 2014 earnings guidance range from $2.15 to $2.35 per diluted share to $2.17 to $2.33 per diluted share. On a net income basis, excluding these non-recurring items, UIL’s 2014 earnings guidance is narrowed from a range of $122 million to $134 million to a range of $124 million to $133 million. The change in
 
4

guidance reflects the impact of year-to-date earnings, which now include three quarters of actual results.

- more -

This guidance excludes the impact of any additional acquisition-related expenses, including, but not limited to, investment banking and legal fees which become payable if certain acquisition milestones are met, along with additional potential costs related to the bridge facility. It also excludes interest expense from the proposed debt financing, dilution from the proposed equity issuance and any potential earnings from Philadelphia Gas Works.

Use of Non-GAAP Measures

UIL Holdings believes that a breakdown presented on a net income and per share basis is useful in understanding the change in the consolidated results of operations for UIL Holdings from one reporting period to another. UIL Holdings presents such per share amounts by taking the net income determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), and then dividing the results by the average number of diluted shares of UIL Holdings common stock outstanding for the periods presented. Any such amounts provided are provided for informational purposes only and are not intended to be used to calculate "Pro-forma" amounts.

UIL Holdings also believes presenting earnings excluding certain non-recurring items, as well as earnings per share (EPS) information by line of business, including as presented above in the net income discussion and in the earnings guidance section, are useful in understanding and evaluating actual and projected financial performance and contribution of UIL’s businesses. EPS by business is calculated by taking the pretax amounts determined in accordance with GAAP of each line of business, and applying the effective statutory federal and state tax rate and then dividing the results by the average number of diluted shares of UIL common stock outstanding for the periods presented. Total consolidated EPS is a GAAP-basis presentation.

Forward-Looking Statements

Certain statements contained herein, regarding matters that are not historical facts, are forward-looking statements (as defined in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995). These include statements regarding management’s intentions, plans, beliefs, expectations or forecasts for the future. Such forward-looking statements are based on our expectations and involve risks and uncertainties; consequently, actual results may differ materially from those expressed or implied in the statements. Such risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, general economic conditions, conditions in the debt and equity markets (particularly as they affect the terms on which we can issue equity securities or incur borrowings in connection with the pending acquisition of the operating assets and certain liabilities of Philadelphia Gas Works), legislative and regulatory changes, changes in demand for electricity, gas and other products and services, unanticipated weather conditions, changes in accounting principles, policies or guidelines, the expected timing and likelihood of completion of the pending acquisition, including the timing, receipt and terms and conditions of any required governmental and regulatory approvals of the pending acquisition that could reduce anticipated benefits or cause the parties to abandon the transaction, the allocation of personnel and resources to the pending acquisition during this time period, as well as the ability to successfully integrate the businesses, and other economic, competitive, governmental, and technological factors affecting the operations, markets, products and services of our subsidiaries. All such factors are difficult to predict, contain uncertainties that may materially affect our actual results and are beyond our control. You should not place undue reliance on the forward-looking statements, each speaks only as of the date hereof and we undertake no obligation to revise or update such statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date hereof or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events or circumstances. New factors emerge from time to time and it is not possible for us to predict all such factors, nor can we 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 in any forward-looking statements. The foregoing and other factors are discussed and should be reviewed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013, as amended, and other subsequent filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
