FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
NextEra Energy reports 2015 third-quarter financial results
NextEra Energy delivers solid operational performance and financial results
Florida Power & Light Company continues to invest in the business to provide customer benefits
NextEra Energy Resources has another strong quarter in new wind and solar origination
NextEra Energy authorizes program to purchase up to $150 million of outstanding common units of NextEra Energy Partners, LP

JUNO BEACH, Fla. - NextEra Energy, Inc. (NYSE: NEE) today reported 2015 third-quarter net income attributable to NextEra Energy on a GAAP basis of $879 million, or $1.93 per share, compared to $660 million, or $1.50 per share, in the third quarter of 2014. On an adjusted basis, NextEra Energy’s 2015 third-quarter earnings were $730 million, or $1.60 per share, compared to $688 million, or $1.55 per share, in the third quarter of 2014.

Adjusted earnings for these periods exclude the mark-to-market effects of non-qualifying hedges, as well as the net effect of other than temporary impairments (OTTI) on certain investments and operating results from the Spain solar project. Adjusted earnings also exclude merger-related expenses in 2015. All of these items, except for the merger-related expenses, relate primarily to the business of NextEra Energy Resources, LLC and its affiliated entities.

NextEra Energy’s management uses adjusted earnings, which is a non-GAAP financial measure, internally for financial planning, for analysis of performance, for reporting of results to the board of directors, and as an input in determining performance-based compensation under the company’s employee incentive compensation plans. NextEra Energy also uses earnings expressed in this fashion when communicating its financial results and earnings outlook to analysts and investors. NextEra Energy management believes that adjusted earnings provide a more meaningful representation of NextEra Energy’s fundamental earnings power. The attachments to this news release include a reconciliation of historical adjusted earnings to net income attributable to NextEra Energy, which is the most directly comparable GAAP measure.

“NextEra Energy delivered solid operational and financial performance for the third quarter,” said Jim Robo, chairman and chief executive officer of NextEra Energy. “FPL performed well operationally, is on track this year to deliver its best-ever reliability performance and last week was recognized as the most reliable electric utility in the nation. Typical residential customer bills are now 30 percent below the national average, and FPL recently filed to reduce them further in 2016 by about $2.50 a month. NextEra Energy Resources added approximately 725 megawatts of new wind and solar projects to its backlog, continued a very strong year for new origination activity and is on pace to exceed its wind and solar origination expectations for 2016. Overall,

NextEra Energy is on track to finish the year in the upper half of our previously stated range for adjusted earnings per share expectations of $5.40 to $5.70.”

Florida Power & Light Company
NextEra Energy’s principal rate-regulated electric utility subsidiary, Florida Power & Light Company (FPL), reported third-quarter 2015 net income of $489 million, or $1.07 per share, compared to $462 million, or $1.05 per share, for the prior-year quarter.

FPL’s contribution to adjusted earnings per share growth over the prior-year comparable quarter was driven primarily by continued investment in the business. The investments FPL is making continue to strengthen its value proposition that includes electric bills that are among the lowest in the nation, high reliability, award-winning customer service and one of the cleanest emissions profiles in America.

FPL’s long-term investments in more efficient power plants, coupled with low fuel prices, continue to generate savings for its customers. FPL owns and operates one of the cleanest and most fuel-efficient generation fleets in America, and the company’s investments since 2001 in fuel efficiency have saved customers more than $8 billion and prevented more than 95 million tons of carbon emissions. FPL’s typical residential customer bill is lower today than it was in 2006, is the lowest in Florida among reporting utilities and is among the lowest in the nation. In September, FPL filed a request with the Florida Public Service Commission (Florida PSC) to reduce rates beginning in January 2016. With Florida PSC approval, FPL’s typical residential monthly bill will decrease to approximately $94, reflecting savings of about $2.50 per month on average in 2016, compared to current rates.

During the quarter, FPL continued to make progress on its major capital projects. The company’s generation modernization project at Port Everglades remains on budget and on schedule to enter service in mid-2016. In addition, FPL’s development of three new large-scale solar energy centers remains on schedule, with each of these approximately 74-megawatt (MW) projects expected to be completed in 2016. Once complete, these plants will roughly triple FPL’s solar capacity and add to the overall fuel diversity of its fleet.

FPL also continued to invest in modernizing its electric grid, making it stronger, smarter and more resilient. Since 2006, FPL has invested more than $2 billion to strengthen its transmission and distribution system, positioning the company to deliver service reliability of more than 99.98 percent. FPL is on track to deliver its best-ever reliability performance this year and recently received several reliability-related awards, including being named as the nation’s most reliable electric utility by PA Consulting Group.

FPL averaged approximately 67,000 more customer accounts during the third quarter of 2015 than in the comparable prior-year quarter. Retail sales growth was 2.6 percent, compared to the prior-year quarter, which included approximately 1.4 percent usage growth due to weather. The average number of inactive accounts for the quarter declined 16 percent from the prior year.

FPL’s customer metrics are consistent with improving Florida economic indicators that the company tracks. In September, Florida’s seasonally adjusted unemployment rate was 5.2 percent, representing a 0.6 percentage point decrease from a year earlier and the lowest level since early 2008. Along with strong growth in jobs, July retail activity grew 8.6 percent since last year, increasing markedly since mid-2009.

During the quarter, FPL received approval from the Florida PSC and completed the acquisition of the Cedar Bay Generating Plant. In addition, FPL filed a petition for determination of need with the Florida PSC for the proposed high-efficiency Okeechobee Clean Energy Center. The

approximately 1,600-MW combined-cycle power plant, fueled by clean, U.S.-produced natural gas, requires approval by a number of federal, state and local agencies. Contingent upon receiving all necessary approvals, FPL expects to begin construction in 2017, with the new plant entering service in mid-2019.

NextEra Energy Resources
NextEra Energy Resources, the competitive energy business of NextEra Energy, reported a third-quarter 2015 contribution to net income attributable to NextEra Energy on a GAAP basis of $375 million, or $0.82 per share, compared to $204 million, or $0.46 per share, in the prior-year quarter. On an adjusted basis, NextEra Energy Resources’ earnings for the third quarter of 2015 were $221 million, or $0.48 per share, compared to $231 million, or $0.52 per share, for the third quarter of 2014.

NextEra Energy Resources’ contribution to adjusted earnings per share in the third quarter of 2015 decreased $0.04 per share, compared to the prior-year comparable quarter. Overall, the business’ results were consistent with its financial expectations for the quarter, and NextEra Energy Resources remains on pace to achieve its full-year expectations. NextEra Energy Resources benefited from continued growth in its contracted renewables portfolio, reflecting the addition of more than 1,900 MW of wind and solar projects during or after the third quarter of 2014. The customer supply and trading business and the existing generation assets both had strong results. Offsetting the positives, among other things, were higher interest expense due to growth in the business and higher corporate expenses due largely to timing differences and increased renewables development activity in light of what NextEra Energy Resources considers to be a very positive landscape for the renewables business. Results also were impacted by share dilution and lower state and federal tax incentives versus the prior-year comparable quarter.

NextEra Energy Resources had another excellent quarter of originating new renewables projects. The business signed power purchase agreements for approximately 725 MW of new wind and solar projects, including 600 MW of wind for delivery by the end of 2016 and 125 MW of solar for post-2016 delivery. Based on the strength of its wind development pipeline, NextEra Energy Resources now expects to exceed the high end of its previously announced 2015 to 2016 wind build range.

Corporate and Other
In the third quarter of 2015, Corporate and Other adjusted earnings per share increased $0.07, compared to the prior-year quarter.

The company’s natural gas pipeline projects, Sabal Trail Transmission and Florida Southeast Connection, continue to progress well through the development process. Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) decisions are expected for both projects in early 2016, with construction of the proposed interstate pipeline system beginning in 2016 and operations commencing in mid-2017.
Earlier this month, the company’s Mountain Valley Pipeline joint venture announced the addition of RGC Midstream, LLC as an equity partner and its affiliate, Roanoke Gas Company, as a shipper on the pipeline. The Mountain Valley Pipeline joint venture also recently filed a formal application with FERC requesting authorization to build the 301-mile interstate natural gas transmission pipeline that is designed to transport clean-burning natural gas from the Marcellus and Utica shale regions to the growing demand markets in the U.S. Mid-Atlantic and Southeast. The proposed Mountain Valley Pipeline is expected to begin commercial operations by year-end 2018, subject to FERC approval. Mountain Valley Pipeline, LLC is a joint venture of EQT Midstream Partners, LP, and affiliates of NextEra Energy, WGL Holdings, Inc., Vega Energy Partners, Ltd. and RGC Resources, Inc.

NextEra Energy authorizes a program to purchase up to $150 million of NextEra Energy Partners’ outstanding common units
NextEra Energy has authorized a program to purchase, from time to time, subject to market conditions and other considerations, up to $150 million of NextEra Energy Partners’ outstanding common units. The common unit purchase program will not require NextEra Energy to acquire any specific number of common units and may be modified or terminated by NextEra Energy at any time.
Outlook
NextEra Energy expects full-year 2015 adjusted earnings per share to be in the upper half of the range of $5.40 to $5.70. After 2015, NextEra Energy expects to grow adjusted earnings per share at a compound annual growth rate of 6 to 8 percent per year through 2018, off a 2014 base. NextEra Energy continues to expect adjusted earnings per share to be in the range of $5.85 to $6.35 for 2016 and in the range of $6.60 to $7.10 for 2018.
NextEra Energy’s adjusted earnings expectations exclude the cumulative effect of adopting new accounting standards, the unrealized mark-to-market effect of non-qualifying hedges, as well as net OTTI losses on securities held in NextEra Energy Resources’ nuclear decommissioning funds, none of which can be determined at this time. Adjusted earnings expectations also exclude the operating results from the Spain solar project and merger-related expenses. In addition, adjusted earnings expectations assume, among other things: normal weather and operating conditions; continued recovery of the national and the Florida economy; supportive commodity markets; current forward curves; public policy support for wind and solar development and construction; market demand and transmission expansion to support wind and solar development; access to capital at reasonable cost and terms; no divestitures other than NextEra Energy Partners, LP or acquisitions; no adverse litigation decisions; and no changes to governmental tax policy or incentives. Please see the accompanying cautionary statements for a list of the risk factors that may affect future results.
 
As previously announced, NextEra Energy’s third-quarter earnings conference call is scheduled for 9 a.m. ET today.
