UIL Holdings Corporation (NYSE: UIL) today reported consolidated
net income of $14.2 million, or $0.28 per diluted share, for the
second quarter of 2011, compared to net income of $11.5 million, or
$0.38 per diluted share, for the same period in 2010. For the first
six months of 2011, UIL’s consolidated net income was $66.2
million, or $1.30 per diluted share, compared to $27.4 million, or
$0.90 per diluted share, for the same period in 2010. The second
quarter and first six months results for 2011 reflect the earnings
impact of the gas distribution operations acquired in the fourth
quarter of 2010, the corporate expenses associated with that
acquisition and the share dilution resulting from the September
2010 equity issuance as detailed in the table below.
“Although it has only been a little over eight months since the
closing on the gas companies acquisitions, integration of all our
operating companies is well underway,” said James P. Torgerson,
UIL’s president and chief executive officer. “In April, we
initiated an aggressive multi-media marketing campaign to convert
businesses and households to natural gas, as the economical and
environmentally friendly fuel of choice. Year-to date, gas
conversions are running ahead of 2010 levels and we are on track to
meet our 2011 conversions target.”
“GenConn Energy’s Middletown facility, a 50-50 joint venture
between NRG Energy, Inc. and The United Illuminating Company, began
operating in the ISO markets in June,” added Torgerson. “Both Devon
and Middletown provide peaking generation resources, which enhances
system reliability in New England, especially when demand for
electricity is high.”
“And just yesterday, we received a final decision approving the
gas companies’ and Office of Consumer Counsel’s settlement
agreement, with minor modifications,” commented Torgerson. “We are
pleased with the outcome, as it resolves all pending issues related
to the rate case appeals and terminates The Southern Connecticut
Gas Company’s potential overearnings investigation.”
The following table provides earnings per diluted share for the
second quarter and first six months of 2011, compared to the same
periods in 2010.

Electric distribution, CTA & other
Earnings from the electric distribution business in the second
quarter of 2011 were $11.1 million, or $0.22 per diluted share,
compared to $9.4 million, or $0.31 per diluted share, for the same
period in 2010. For the first six months of 2011, the electric
distribution business had total earnings of $21.8 million, or $0.43
per diluted share, compared to $19.5 million, or $0.64 per diluted
share, for the same period in 2010. The increase in earnings for
both the quarter and first six months of 2011 were primarily
attributable to increased income from the investment in GenConn,
partially offset by lower CTA rate base.
Earnings from UI’s equity investment in GenConn in the second
quarter of 2011 were $2.6 million, or $0.05 per diluted share,
compared to a loss of $0.9 million, or $0.03 per diluted share in
the second quarter of 2010. For the first six months of 2011
GenConn earned $4.7 million, or $0.09 per diluted share, compared
to a loss of $0.9 million, or $0.03 per diluted share, for the same
period in 2010.
Electric transmission
Earnings from the electric transmission business in the second
quarter of 2011 were $7.9 million, or $0.15 per diluted share,
compared to $6.7 million, or $0.22 per diluted share, for the same
period in 2010. For the first six months of 2011, total
transmission earnings were $15.6 million, or $0.31 per diluted
share, compared to $13.1 million, or $0.43 per diluted share for
the same period in 2010. The increase in earnings for both the
quarter and first six months of 2011 were primarily attributable to
an increase in the allowance for funds used during
construction.
Gas distribution
The gas distribution businesses incurred a loss of $1.5 million,
or $0.03 per diluted share in the second quarter of 2011,
consistent with the seasonal nature of the gas business. For the
first six months of 2011, earnings from the gas distribution
business were $35.9 million, or $0.71 per diluted share. There were
no earnings from the gas distribution businesses for the second
quarter and first six months of 2010 as those businesses were not
acquired until November 2010.
Corporate
UIL Holdings retains certain costs, primarily interest expense,
at the holding company, or “corporate” levels, which are not
allocated to the various subsidiaries. UIL Corporate incurred net
after-tax costs of $3.3 million, or $0.06 per diluted share in the
second quarter of 2011, compared to net after-tax costs of $4.6
million, or $0.15 per diluted share, in the same period of 2010.
The decrease was primarily attributable to the absence in 2011 of
after-tax acquisition related costs incurred in the second quarter
of 2010, partially offset by interest expense related to the
October 2010 issuance of $450 million of public debt, the proceeds
of which were used to partially fund the acquisition.
For the first six months of 2011, UIL Corporate incurred net
after-tax costs of $7.1 million, or $0.15 per diluted share,
compared to $5.2 million, or $0.17 per diluted share, in the same
period in 2010. The increase was predominately attributable to
interest expense related to the October 2010 debt issuance
mentioned above.

Use of Non-GAAP Measures
UIL Holdings believes that a breakdown, presented on a net
income and per share basis, of how the acquisition-related
financial activities described above contributed to the change in
net income is useful in understanding the overall 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 dollar amount of the applicable change for
the acquisition activity, booked in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles (GAAP), and applying UIL Holdings'
combined effective statutory federal and state tax rate and then
dividing by the average number of 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 earnings per share (EPS) information
as presented in its earnings guidance is useful in understanding
the earnings expectations for the business, as a whole. The amounts
presented in the earnings guidance show the EPS for each of UIL
Holdings’ lines of business. EPS is calculated by dividing the
projected 2011 net income for each line of business by the
projected average number of shares of UIL Holdings common stock
outstanding for 2011. Total consolidated EPS is a GAAP-basis
presentation.
