|
(a)
|

|
(c)
|
Generally, significant increases (decreases) in this input in isolation would result in a significantly lower (higher) fair value measurement.
|
(d)
|

decreased demand primarily due to milder winter temperatures in 2016 (estimated at 10 cents per share);
|
•
|
decreased Ameren Illinois earnings resulting from the absence in 2016 of a January 2015 ICC order regarding Ameren Illinois’ cumulative power usage cost and its purchased power rider mechanism (4 cents per share);
|
•
|
decreased Ameren Missouri earnings resulting from the absence in 2016 of MEEIA net shared benefits due to the expiration of MEEIA 2013 (3 cents per share); and
|
•
|
excluding the estimated effects of weather, a decrease in electric demand at Ameren Missouri, primarily as a result of a reduction in Noranda sales volumes and the carryover effect of MEEIA 2013 partially offset by the additional day in 2016 as a result of the leap year and growth (estimated at 2 cents per share).
|
•
|
a decrease in the effective tax rate primarily due to an income tax benefit recorded at Ameren (parent) pursuant to the adoption of new accounting guidance related to share-based compensation (8 cents per share);
|
•
|
increased Ameren Illinois and ATXI electric transmission service and Ameren Illinois electric delivery service earnings under formula ratemaking primarily due to additional rate base investment (5 cents per share). These earnings were reduced by the recognition of a liability for a potential refund to customers based on the pending FERC complaint cases regarding the allowed base return on common equity (1 cent per share);
|
•
|
higher natural gas distribution rates at Ameren Illinois pursuant to a December 2015 order (4 cents per share); and
|
•
|
increased Ameren Illinois natural gas distribution rates due to seasonal rate redesign, which is not expected to materially affect earnings comparisons on an annual basis (2 cents per share).

(a)
|
Primarily includes amounts for ATXI and intercompany eliminations.
|
(b)
|
Represents the estimated variation resulting primarily from changes in cooling and heating degree-days on electric and natural gas demand compared with the prior-year period; this variation is based on temperature readings from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration weather stations at local airports in our service territories.
|
(c)
|
Electric and natural gas revenue changes are offset by corresponding changes in Fuel, Purchased power, and Gas purchased for resale, resulting in no change to electric and gas margins.
|
(d)
|
See Other Operations and Maintenance Expenses or Taxes Other Than Income Taxes in this section for the related offsetting increase or decrease to expense. These items have no overall impact on earnings.
|
(e)
|
Ameren Missouri amounts are subsequent to May 30, 2015, due to the exclusion of transmission revenues and substantially all transmission charges from the FAC as a result of the April 2015 MoPSC electric rate order.
|
•
|
Temperatures were milder in 2016 as heating degree-days decreased 22%, which
decreased
margins by an estimated
$26 million
. The change in margins due to weather is the sum of the effect of weather (estimate) on electric revenues (
-$37 million
) and the effect of weather (estimate) on fuel and purchased power (
+$11 million
) in the above table.
|
•
|
Noranda’s operations were idled in the first quarter of 2016, which
decreased
margins by $13 million. The change in margins is the sum of Noranda revenues (
-$24 million
) and Noranda energy costs (
+$11 million
) in the above table. Noranda energy costs include the impact of a provision in the FAC tariff that, under certain circumstances, allows Ameren Missouri to retain a portion of the revenues from any off-system sales it makes as a result of reduced tariff sales to Noranda. See Note 2 - Rate and Regulatory Matters under Part I, Item 1, of this report for information regarding Noranda.
|
•
|
The absence in 2016 of net shared benefits due to the expiration of MEEIA 2013, which decreased margins by
$11 million
. Net shared benefits compensated Ameren Missouri for lower sales volumes from energy-efficiency related volume reductions in current and future periods.
|
•
|
The exclusion of transmission revenues and substantially all transmission charges from the FAC beginning May 30, 2015, which
decreased
margins by
$5 million
.
|
•
|
Higher electric base rates, effective May 30, 2015, as a result of the April 2015 MoPSC electric rate order, which included a rate shift from Noranda to other customers,
increased
margins by an estimated
$5 million
. The change in electric base rates is the sum of the change in base rates (estimate) (
+$29 million
) and the effect of higher net energy costs included in base rates (
-$24 million
) in the above table.
|
•
|
Excluding the estimated effect of weather and reduced sales to Noranda, total retail sales volumes increased 1%, which increased margins by
$5 million
. The benefits of an additional day in 2016 as a result of the leap year, as well as growth, exceeded the carryover effect of MEEIA 2013.
|
•
|
Lower net energy costs, primarily due to higher MISO capacity revenues, which increased margins by $3 million. The change in net energy costs is the sum of the change in off-system sales and transmission services revenues (+$14 million) and the change in energy costs (-$11 million) in the above table.
|
•
|
Electric delivery service revenues increased by an estimated
$19 million
, primarily due to increased rate base investment and higher recoverable costs under formula ratemaking pursuant to the IEIMA.
|
•
|
Transmission services revenues increased by
$7 million
, primarily due to increased rate base investment and higher recoverable costs under forward-looking formula ratemaking.
|
•
|
The absence in 2016 of a January 2015 ICC order regarding Ameren Illinois’ cumulative power usage cost and its purchased power rider mechanism, which increased margins by $15 million in the first quarter of 2015.
|
•
|
Temperatures were milder as heating degree-days decreased 20%, which decreased margins by an estimated
$6 million
. The change in margins due to weather is the sum of the effect of weather (estimate) on electric revenues (
-$12 million
) and the effect of weather (estimate) on fuel and purchased power (
+$6 million
) in the above table.
|
•
|
Excluding the estimated effect of weather, total retail sales volumes decreased 4%, which decreased margins by an estimated
$5 million
. Lower retail sales volumes were due to industrial sales volumes, which decreased 8% and have less of a margin impact than residential and commercial sales volumes, which decreased a combined 2%.
|
•
|
Higher natural gas base rates in 2016, which
increased
margins by an estimated
$14 million
.
|
•
|
The implementation of redesigned seasonal rates in 2016, which increased margins by
$9 million
. These redesigned rates have an effect on quarterly earnings comparisons but are not expected to materially affect annual earnings.
|
•
|
Amortization of previously deferred solar rebate costs increased by $7 million, as a result of the April 2015 MoPSC
|
•
|
Refueling and maintenance outage costs at the Callaway energy center increased by $4 million, primarily due to preparation costs for the 2016 scheduled outage that began in April. There was no scheduled outage in 2015.
|
•
|
MEEIA customer energy efficiency program costs decreased by $4 million, due to the expiration of MEEIA 2013. The MEEIA 2016 customer programs began in March 2016. Electric revenues from customer billings decreased by a corresponding amount, with no overall effect on net income.
|
•
|
Energy center maintenance costs decreased by $4 million, primarily due to fewer major outages at coal-fired energy centers.
|
•
|
Employee benefit costs decreased by $3 million, primarily due to a change in pension and postretirement expenses allowed in rates, as a result of the April 2015 MoPSC electric rate order. Electric revenues from customer billings decreased by a corresponding amount, with no overall effect on net income.
|
•
|
Bad debt, customer energy efficiency, and environmental remediation costs decreased by $16 million. These expenses are included in cost riders that result in lower electric and natural gas revenues, resulting in no overall effect on net income.
|
•
|
Employee benefit costs decreased by $5 million, primarily due to lower pension and postretirement expenses caused by changes in actuarial assumptions and the performance of plan assets.
|
•
|
Storm-related repair costs increased by $4 million.
|
•
|
Electric delivery maintenance expenditures increased by $4 million, primarily related to increased system repair, circuit maintenance, and vegetation management work as a result of regulatory compliance requirements.
|
•
|
Labor costs increased by $3 million, primarily because of staff additions to meet enhanced reliability standards and customer service goals related to the IEIMA.

|
•
|
A $57 million increase resulting from electric and natural gas margins, as discussed in Results of Operations, excluding certain noncash items, as well as the change in customer receivable balances.
|
•
|
A $42 million insurance receipt at Ameren Missouri related to the Taum Sauk breach. See Note 15 - Commitments and Contingencies under Part II, Item 8, in the Form 10-K for additional information.
|
•
|
A $21 million increase in net energy costs collected from Ameren Missouri customers under the FAC.
|
•
|
A $16 million decrease in the cost of coal inventory at Ameren Missouri, as additional coal was purchased in 2015 to compensate for delivery disruptions experienced in 2014.
|
•
|
An $8 million increase in cash associated with the recovery of Ameren Illinois' IEIMA revenue requirement reconciliation adjustments. The 2014 revenue requirement reconciliation adjustment, which is being recovered from customers in 2016, was greater than the 2013 revenue requirement reconciliation adjustment, which was recovered from customers in 2015.
|
•
|
Income tax refunds of $3 million in 2016, compared with income tax payments of $1 million in 2015. In 2016, Ameren continued to generate net operating losses due to bonus depreciation, resulting in no current federal income tax liability.
|
•
|
A $42 million increase in the cost of natural gas held in storage caused primarily by fewer withdrawals as a result of milder winter temperatures compared with the prior year.
|
•
|
A $36 million increase in payments to purchase stock associated with share-based compensation plan awards.
|
•
|
A $15 million increase in purchased power commodity costs incurred compared with amounts collected from Ameren Illinois customers.
|
•
|
An $8 million increase in interest payments, primarily due to the issuance of senior unsecured notes at Ameren (parent) in November 2015 and the issuance of senior secured notes at Ameren Illinois in December 2015.
|
•
|
A $6 million increase in major storm restoration costs at Ameren Illinois.
|
•
|
A $5 million increase in property tax payments at Ameren Missouri caused by higher assessed property tax values.

Ameren continues to pursue its plans to invest in FERC-regulated electric transmission. MISO has approved three electric transmission projects to be developed by ATXI. The first project, Illinois Rivers, involves the construction of a transmission line from western Indiana across the state of Illinois to eastern Missouri. The last section of this project is expected to be completed by 2019. The Spoon River project in northwest Illinois and the Mark Twain project in northeast Missouri are the other two MISO-approved projects to be constructed by ATXI. These two projects are expected to be completed in 2018. The Illinois Rivers and the Spoon River projects have received all of the necessary commission approvals to authorize their construction.
In April 2016, the MoPSC granted ATXI a certificate of convenience and necessity for the Mark Twain project. Starting construction under the certificate is subject to ATXI obtaining assents from the five counties where the line will be constructed.
Extended difficulties in obtaining the assents could delay the completion date. The total investment in all three projects is expected to be more than $1.0 billion from 2016 through 2019. This total includes over $60 million of investment by Ameren Illinois to construct connections to its existing transmission system. In addition to its investment in the MISO-approved projects, Ameren Illinois expects to invest $1.9 billion in electric transmission assets from 2016 through 2020 to address load growth and reliability requirements.
|

|
Both Ameren Illinois and ATXI use a forward-looking rate calculation with an annual revenue requirement reconciliation for each company’s electric transmission business. With the rates that became effective on January 1, 2016, and the currently allowed 12.38% return on equity, the 2016 revenue requirement for Ameren Illinois’ electric
|
•
|
The 12.38% return on common equity is the subject of two FERC complaint proceedings, the November 2013 complaint case and the February 2015 complaint case, that challenge the allowed base return on common equity for MISO transmission owners. In December 2015, a FERC administrative law judge issued an initial decision in the November 2013 complaint case that would lower the allowed base return on common equity to 10.32%. The FERC is expected to issue a final order on the November 2013 complaint case by the fourth quarter of 2016.
The initial decision from an administrative law judge in the February 2015 complaint case, which will subsequently require FERC approval, is expected to be issued in the second quarter of 2016.
A 50 basis point reduction in the FERC-allowed base return on common equity would reduce Ameren's and Ameren Illinois' annual earnings by an estimated $6 million and $3 million, respectively, based on each company’s 2016 projected rate base. Ameren and Ameren Illinois recorded current regulatory liabilities on their respective
March 31, 2016
balance sheets, representing their estimate of the potential refunds from November 2013 through March 2016.
|
•
|
In January 2015, a FERC-approved incentive adder of up to 50 basis points on the allowed base return on common equity for our participation in an RTO became effective. Upon the issuance of the final order addressing the November 2013 complaint case, beginning with its January 2015 effective date, the incentive adder will reduce any refund to customers relating to a reduction of the base return on common equity.

In April 2015, the MoPSC issued an order approving an increase in Ameren Missouri’s annual revenues for electric service. The order also approved Ameren Missouri’s request for continued use of the FAC; however, it changed the FAC to exclude all transmission revenues and substantially all transmission charges. This change to Ameren Missouri’s FAC is contributing to regulatory lag. For example, the April 2015 MoPSC electric rate order included $29 million of transmission charges in base rates that were previously included in the FAC. Ameren Missouri expects transmission charges to increase to $53 million in 2016, with further cost increases expected in the foreseeable future. However, transmission revenues included in base rates in the April 2015 MoPSC electric rate order totaled $34 million and are expected to remain relatively constant in 2016 and into the near future.

Ameren Missouri supplies electricity to Noranda’s aluminum smelter located in southeast Missouri. In its April 2015 electric rate order, the MoPSC approved a rate design that established $78 million in annual revenues, net of fuel and purchased power costs, as Noranda’s portion of Ameren Missouri’s revenue requirement. The portion of Ameren Missouri’s annual revenue requirement reflected in Noranda’s electric rate is based on the smelter using approximately 4.2 million megawatthours annually, which is almost 100% of its operating capacity. In the first quarter of 2016, Noranda idled production at its aluminum smelter. In addition, Noranda filed voluntary petitions for a court-supervised restructuring process under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code. Noranda stated it would maintain the flexibility to restart operations at the smelter should conditions allow. As a result of these events in 2016, actual sales volumes to Noranda will be significantly below the sales volumes reflected in rates, and therefore, Ameren Missouri will not fully recover its revenue requirement until rates are adjusted by the MoPSC in a future electric rate case to reflect Noranda’s actual sales volumes. Ameren Missouri estimates a $38 million reduction in 2016 earnings, compared to 2015, relating to the significantly lower expected electric sales volumes to Noranda after consideration of the FAC-tariff provision that allows Ameren Missouri to retain a portion of its off-system sales. Ameren Missouri expects to file an electric rate case in 2016 to reflect additional infrastructure investments and rising costs, including depreciation, transmission service, and property tax expenses, and expects the resulting new rates to reflect Noranda's actual sales volumes, which would prospectively eliminate the impact of the current revenue shortfall from Noranda sales levels. Rate case proceedings take place over a period of up to 11 months from the date of filing. Ameren Missouri will continue to monitor Noranda’s sales volumes and to evaluate its regulatory and legislative options that might mitigate adverse financial impacts. The reduction in Noranda’s sales volumes have adversely affected and will continue to adversely affect Ameren’s and Ameren Missouri’s results of operations, financial condition, and liquidity until customer rates are adjusted in a future rate case.

The MEEIA 2013 performance incentive allowed Ameren Missouri an opportunity to earn additional revenues by achieving certain customer energy efficiency goals, including $19 million if 100% of the goals were achieved during the three-year period, with the potential to earn a larger performance incentive if Ameren Missouri’s energy savings exceeded those goals. In November 2015, the MoPSC issued an order that clarified how an input used in the calculation of the performance incentive would be determined. Ameren Missouri filed an appeal of the order with the Missouri Court of Appeals, Western District. If the Missouri Court of Appeals upholds the MoPSC order, the MEEIA 2013 performance incentive will be significantly less than the performance incentive calculated using Ameren Missouri’s interpretation. A decision from the Missouri Court of Appeals is expected in 2016. Separately, an order from the MoPSC determining the MEEIA 2013 performance

The throughput disincentive recovery under MEEIA 2016 replaced the net shared benefits that were collected under MEEIA 2013. Net shared benefits compensated Ameren Missouri for the current year and longer-term financial impacts of customer energy efficiency programs in each year of the program from 2013 through 2015. The throughput disincentive included in MEEIA 2016, on the other hand, is designed to be earnings neutral each year by compensating Ameren Missouri for the lost sales volumes from its customer energy efficiency programs that occur in that year, and does not compensate for the longer-term financial impacts of these programs until sales volumes are lost in a future year. The unfavorable effects of sales volume reductions in 2016 from the MEEIA 2013 energy efficiency programs were previously recognized during 2013 through 2015 as net shared benefits, and therefore, any such lost sales volumes have impacted and will continue to negatively impact 2016 earnings.

The IEIMA provides for an annual reconciliation of the revenue requirement necessary to reflect the actual costs incurred in a given year with the revenue requirement that was reflected in customer rates for that year. Consequently, Ameren Illinois' 2016 electric delivery service revenues will be based on its 2016 actual recoverable costs, rate base, and return on common equity as calculated under the IEIMA's performance-based formula ratemaking framework. The 2016 revenue requirement is expected to be higher than the 2015 revenue requirement because of an expected increase in recoverable costs and rate base growth. A 50 basis point change in the average monthly yields of the 30-year United States Treasury bonds would result in an estimated $6 million change in Ameren's and Ameren Illinois' net income, based on its 2016 projected rate base.

•
|
In December 2015, the ICC issued an order with respect to Ameren Illinois’ annual update filing. The ICC approved a $106 million increase in Ameren Illinois’ electric delivery service revenue requirement beginning in January 2016.
These rates have affected and will continue to affect Ameren Illinois' cash receipts during 2016, but will not be the sole determinant of its electric delivery service operating revenues, which will instead be largely determined by the IEIMA's 2016 revenue requirement reconciliation. The 2016 revenue requirement reconciliation, as discussed above, is expected to result in a regulatory asset that will be collected from customers in 2018.

In April 2016, Ameren Illinois filed with the ICC its annual electric delivery service formula rate update to establish the revenue requirement used for 2017 rates. Pending ICC approval, Ameren Illinois’ update filing will result in a

Ameren Missouri's Callaway energy center’s scheduled refueling and maintenance outage began on April 2, 2016, and is expected to conclude in May. Ameren Missouri expects to incur approximately $37 million of maintenance expenses in 2016 related to this outage. There was no refueling outage scheduled in 2015. During a scheduled outage, which occurs every 18 months, maintenance expenses increase relative to non-outage years. Additionally, depending on the availability of its other generation sources and the market prices for power, Ameren Missouri's purchased power costs may increase and the amount of excess power available for sale may decrease versus non-outage years. Changes in purchased power costs and excess power available for sale are included in the FAC, which results in limited impacts to earnings.

As we continue to experience cost increases and to make infrastructure investments, Ameren Missouri and Ameren Illinois expect to seek regular electric and natural gas rate increases and timely cost recovery and tracking mechanisms from their regulators. Ameren Missouri and Ameren Illinois will also seek, as necessary, legislative solutions to address regulatory lag and to support investment in their utility infrastructure for the benefit of their customers, including Ameren Missouri's current efforts to advocate for a legislative solution to support Noranda's operations and modernize the state’s regulatory framework. Ameren Missouri and Ameren Illinois continue to face cost recovery pressures including limited economic growth in their service territories, customer conservation efforts, the impacts of additional customer energy efficiency programs, increased customer use of innovative and increasingly cost-effective technological advances including distributed generation and storage, increased investments and expected future investments for environmental compliance, system reliability improvements, and new generation capacity, including renewable energy requirements. Increased investments also result in higher depreciation and financing costs. Increased costs are also expected from rising employee benefit costs and higher property and income taxes, among other costs.
|
•
|
We expect to incur significant capital expenditures in order to make investments to improve our electric and natural gas utility infrastructure and to comply with existing environmental regulations. We estimate that we will incur up to $11.5 billion (Ameren Missouri – up to $4.3 billion; Ameren Illinois – up to $6.2 billion; ATXI – up to $1.0 billion) of capital expenditures during the period from 2016 through 2020, excluding the impact of the Clean Power Plan.
|
•
|
Environmental regulations, including those related to CO
2
emissions, or other actions taken by the EPA could result in significant increases in capital expenditures and operating costs. These costs could be prohibitive at some of Ameren Missouri's coal-fired energy centers. Ameren Missouri's capital expenditures are subject to MoPSC prudence reviews, which could result in cost disallowances as well as regulatory lag. The cost of Ameren Illinois’ purchased power and gas purchased for resale could increase. However, Ameren Illinois expects these costs would be recovered from customers with no material adverse effect on its results of operations, financial position, or liquidity. Ameren's and Ameren Missouri's earnings could benefit from increased investment to comply with environmental regulations if those investments are reflected and recovered on a timely basis in rates charged to customers.
|
•
|
Ameren is evaluating the Clean Power Plan's potential impacts to its operations, including those related to electric system reliability, and its level of investment in customer energy efficiency programs, renewable energy, and other forms of generation investment. In February 2016, the United States Supreme Court stayed the Clean Power Plan and all implementation requirements until the legal appeals are concluded. Appeals are expected to take several years to conclude. If the rule is ultimately upheld and implemented in substantially similar form to the rule when issued, Ameren Missouri expects to incur increased net fuel and operating costs, and make new or accelerated capital expenditures, in addition to the costs of making modifications to existing operations in order to achieve compliance. Compliance measures could result in the closure or alteration of the operation of some of Ameren Missouri’s coal and natural-gas-fired energy centers, which could result in increased operating costs.
|
•
|
Ameren Missouri files a nonbinding integrated resource plan with the MoPSC every three years. Ameren Missouri’s integrated resource plan filed with the MoPSC in October 2014, prior to the issuance of the Clean Power Plan, was a 20-year plan that supported a more fuel-diverse energy portfolio in Missouri, including coal, solar, wind, natural gas, and nuclear power. The plan involves expanding renewable generation, retiring coal-fired generation as energy centers reach the end of their useful lives, continuation and expansion of the then-existing energy efficiency programs, and adding natural gas-fired combined cycle generation.

The Ameren Companies have multiyear credit agreements that cumulatively provide $2.1 billion of credit through December 2019, subject to a 364-day repayment term in the case of Ameren Missouri and Ameren Illinois. See Note 3 –

In December 2015, a federal tax law was enacted that authorized the continued use of bonus depreciation that allows for an acceleration of deductions for tax purposes at a rate of 50% for 2015, 2016, and 2017. The rate will be reduced to 40% in 2018 and then to 30% in 2019. Bonus depreciation will be phased out in 2020 unless a new law is enacted. Bonus depreciation is expected to increase cash flow through at least 2020. Ameren expects to use this incremental cash flow to make capital investments in utility infrastructure for the benefit of its customers. Without these investments, bonus depreciation would reduce rate base, which reduces our revenue requirements and future earnings growth. The impact of bonus depreciation on Ameren Missouri, Ameren Illinois, and ATXI will vary based on investment levels at each company.

As of
March 31, 2016
, Ameren had $557 million in tax benefits from federal and state net operating loss carryforwards (Ameren Missouri – $74 million and Ameren Illinois – $142 million) and $137 million in federal and state income tax credit carryforwards (Ameren Missouri – $27 million and Ameren Illinois – $2 million). In addition, Ameren has $37 million of expected state income tax refunds and state overpayments. Consistent with the tax allocation agreement between Ameren and its subsidiaries, these carryforwards are expected to partially offset income tax liabilities for Ameren Missouri until 2019 and Ameren Illinois until 2021. Ameren does not expect to make material federal income tax payments until 2021. These tax benefits, primarily at the Ameren (parent) level, when realized, would be available to fund ATXI transmission investments.

|
Ameren expects its cash used for capital expenditures and dividends to exceed cash provided by operating activities over the next several years. Ameren expects to use debt to fund such cash shortfalls; it does not currently expect to issue equity over the next several years.
|
•
|
The use of cash from operating activities and short-term borrowings to fund capital expenditures and other long-term investments may periodically result in a working capital deficit, defined by current liabilities exceeding current assets, as was the case at
March 31, 2016
, for Ameren and Ameren Illinois. The working capital deficit as of
March 31, 2016
, was primarily the result of current maturities of long-term debt and commercial paper issuances. With the credit capacity available under the Credit Agreements and our cash and cash equivalents, the Ameren Companies had access to
$1.5 billion
of liquidity, at
March 31, 2016
