GREENSBURG, Pa.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Allegheny Energy, Inc. (NYSE: AYE) today reported financial results for the third quarter of 2009.
Consolidated Net Income Attributable to Allegheny Energy, Inc.
$ millions Per share
Three Months Ended September 30 2009 2008 2009 2008
GAAP $77.0 $89.0 $0.45 $ 0.52
Adjusted 100.1 91.4 0.59 0.54
Nine Months Ended September 30
GAAP $283.5 $379.2 $1.67 $ 2.23
Adjusted 283.9 304.0 1.67 1.79
Adjusted net income for the third quarter of 2009 excludes $19.3 million of pre-tax interest expense related to a debt tender offer and net unrealized pre-tax losses of $18.3 million on economic hedges that do not qualify for hedge accounting. Adjusted net income for the third quarter of 2008 excludes $4.0 million of unrealized pre-tax losses on economic hedges.
Adjusted net income is a non-GAAP financial measure. For information on the calculation of adjusted net income for all periods, see the attached reconciliations of non-GAAP financial measures.
"Adjusted earnings grew in the third quarter due to improved results in our regulated delivery and transmission business," said Paul J. Evanson, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer of Allegheny Energy. "However, the weak economy and low power prices reduced earnings in our generation business. We recently completed several financings which improved our liquidity and financial flexibility, and we continue to focus on cost control. We believe Allegheny is well-positioned to benefit from an economic recovery."
Third Quarter Consolidated Results
Adjusted net income for the third quarter of 2009 increased by $8.7 million compared with the same period in 2008. Key factors contributing to the results include:
-- Adjusted operating revenues decreased by $41.6 million, reflecting
reduced generation volume, largely due to weak demand and lower power
prices, as well as planned outages to complete the installation of
scrubbers at the Hatfield's Ferry power plant. Factors benefiting
revenues included higher rates in Pennsylvania, increased cost recovery
in Virginia, hedging activity, increased revenue from transmission
expansion and increased sales to third parties.
-- Fuel expense decreased by $111.2 million, primarily due to reduced
generation volume and lower gas prices, partially offset by higher coal
prices.
-- Purchased power costs were higher by $26.1 million, primarily due to
increased purchases from third parties to serve Maryland customers.
-- Deferred energy expense increased by $4.4 million due to a fuel and
energy cost recovery clause in West Virginia.
-- Operations and maintenance costs decreased by $1.1 million.
-- Depreciation increased $3.9 million, primarily due to placing some
scrubber equipment in service at the Hatfield's Ferry power plant.
-- Adjusted interest expense increased $7.9 million, primarily due to
higher debt balances and lower capitalized interest.
-- Adjusted income tax expense increased by $13.9 million due to a higher
effective tax rate and an increase in adjusted pre-tax income.
Adjusted EBITDA for the third quarter of 2009 was $297.0 million, an increase of $34.4 million compared to the same quarter of the prior year. EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA are non-GAAP financial measures. Details on the calculation of EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA, as well as reconciliations of these financial measures to net income, are attached to this release.

2009 2008 (Decrease)
Generation and Marketing:
GAAP $45.5 $84.7 $(39.2)
Adjusted 68.6 87.1 (18.5)
Delivery and Services:
GAAP $31.5 $4.3 $27.2
Adjusted 31.5 4.3 27.2
Adjusted net income for the Generation and Marketing segment in both the third quarter of 2009 and 2008 excludes net unrealized pre-tax losses previously discussed, and the 2009 third quarter adjusted results also exclude expense related to a debt tender offer. There were no adjustments in the Delivery and Services segment for the third quarter of either year.
Generation and Marketing: Adjusted net income for the quarter decreased by $18.5 million compared to the same period a year earlier. Results were adversely impacted by lower generation volume and power prices, as well as the scrubber tie-in work at Hatfield's Ferry and the elimination of an intercompany transfer payment, partially offset by higher generation rates in Pennsylvania, the benefit of hedging activity, lower fuel costs and lower income taxes.
Delivery and Services: Net income for the quarter increased by $27.2 million compared to the same period a year earlier. Key factors contributing to the improved results include increased cost recovery in Virginia, the elimination of an intercompany transfer payment and higher revenues from transmission expansion. These benefits were partially offset by lower retail electricity sales and higher income taxes, primarily due to an increase in pre-tax income.
Nine-Month Consolidated Results
Adjusted net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 decreased by $20.1 million compared to the same period in 2008. Adjusted EBITDA for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 increased by $38.5 million compared to the same period of the prior year. Details on the calculation of EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA, as well as reconciliations of these financial measures to net income, are attached to this release.
