Consolidated Results
WGL Holdings, Inc. (NYSE: WGL), the parent company of Washington Gas Light Company (Washington Gas) and other energy-related subsidiaries, today reported net income applicable to common stock determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (GAAP) for the quarter ended June 30, 2016, of $2.0 million, or $0.04 per share, an improvement of $17.7 million, or $0.36 per share, over a net loss applicable to common stock of $(15.7) million, or $(0.32) per share, reported for the quarter ended June 30, 2015.
For the nine months ended June 30, 2016, net income applicable to common stock was $176.5 million, or $3.50 per share, an improvement of $46.8 million, or $0.91 per share, over net income applicable to common stock of $129.7 million, or $2.59 per share, for the same period of the prior fiscal year. Our operations are seasonable and accordingly, our operating results for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2016, may not be indicative of the results expected for the 12 months ending September 30, 2016.
On a consolidated basis, WGL also uses non-GAAP operating earnings (loss) to evaluate overall financial performance, and evaluates segment financial performance based on earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT) and adjusted EBIT. Operating earnings (loss) and adjusted EBIT are non-GAAP financial measures, which are not recognized in accordance with GAAP and should not be viewed as alternatives to GAAP measures of performance. Both non-GAAP operating earnings (loss) and adjusted EBIT adjust for the accounting recognition of certain transactions that are not representative of the ongoing earnings of the company. Additionally, we believe that adjusted EBIT enhances the ability to evaluate segment performance because it excludes interest and income tax expense, which are affected by corporate-wide strategies such as capital financing and tax sharing allocations. Refer to “Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures,” attached to this news release, for a more detailed discussion of management’s use of these measures and for reconciliations to GAAP financial measures.
For the quarter ended June 30, 2016, operating earnings were $17.0 million, or $0.33 per share, compared to operating earnings of $10.7 million, or $0.22 per share, for the same quarter of the prior fiscal year. For the nine months ended June 30, 2016, operating earnings were $165.7 million, or $3.29 per share, compared to operating earnings of $169.8 million, or $3.39 per share, for the same period of the prior fiscal year.

For the nine months ended June 30, 2016, EBIT reflects higher unrealized mark-to-market valuations on energy-related derivatives, partially offset by the effects of warmer than normal weather patterns.
For both the three and nine months ended June 30, 2016, the comparisons in EBIT and adjusted EBIT reflect: (i) lower realized margins associated with our asset optimization program; (ii) negative effects of certain natural gas consumption patterns in the District of Columbia; (iii) higher depreciation expense related to the growth in our utility plant; (iv) increases in general taxes and (v) a decrease in the recovery of carrying costs due to lower average storage gas inventory balances. These unfavorable variances were partially offset by: (i) customer growth and (ii) higher rate recovery related to our accelerated pipe replacement programs.

Additionally, for both the three and nine months ended June 30, 2016, the comparisons in EBIT and adjusted EBIT reflect lower realized natural gas margins due to a decrease in portfolio optimization activity and lower realized electric margins due to higher capacity charges from the regional power grid operator (PJM) when compared to the same periods in the prior fiscal year. Further contributing to these unfavorable variances were higher operating expenses primarily due to commercial broker fees. Partially offsetting these variances were higher wholesale and large commercial and government volumes due to increased growth.

During the nine month period only, these improvements were partially offset by an impairment related to our investment in thermal solar projects and higher operating and depreciation expenses.
Additionally, the improvements in EBIT for both the three and nine months ended June 30, 2016, reflect prior period losses associated with unrecovered government contracting costs. The period-to-period comparisons of adjusted EBIT, for both the three and nine month periods, reflect an increase in investment tax credits related to our distributed generation assets.
Midstream Energy Services
Three Months Ended June 30, Increase/ Nine Months Ended June 30, Increase/ (In millions) 2016 2015 (Decrease) 2016 2015 (Decrease) EBIT $ (16.9 ) $ (26.6 ) $ 9.7 $ 17.6 $ (23.3 ) $ 40.9 Adjusted EBIT $ 14.4 $ (1.4 ) $ 15.8 $ 19.2 $ (1.9 ) $ 21.1For the three and nine months ended June 30, 2016, the improvements in EBIT primarily reflect: (i) higher valuations on our derivative contracts associated with our long-term transportation strategies; (ii) lower pipeline project development expenses and (iii) higher income related to our pipeline investments. Partially offsetting these improvements are lower valuations and realized margins related to storage inventory and the associated economic hedging transactions and lower realized margins on our transportation strategies, primarily as a result of losses associated with the index price used in certain gas purchases from Antero Resources Corporation, which is the subject of an arbitration proceeding. Losses realized during the current period were $5.0 million and $8.8 million for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2016, respectively. While these losses may continue in the near term, and are estimated to be approximately $13.5 million for the full fiscal year, we do anticipate that they will reverse in future periods upon completion of the arbitration proceeding.
The improvements in adjusted EBIT for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2016, primarily reflect favorable storage spreads when compared to the same periods in the prior fiscal year.

For both the three and nine months ended June 30, 2016, the comparisons in EBIT and adjusted EBIT reflect lower operating expenses in the current period. Additionally, for the nine months ended June 30, 2016, the comparisons in EBIT and adjusted EBIT reflect an impairment related to American Solar Direct Holdings Inc. (ASDHI) recorded in the prior period.
Earnings Outlook
We provide earnings guidance for consolidated non-GAAP operating earnings. In providing fiscal year 2016 guidance, we note that there will likely be differences between our reported GAAP earnings and our non-GAAP operating earnings due to matters such as, but not limited to, unrealized mark-to-market positions for our energy-related derivatives and changes in the measured value of our trading inventory for WGL Midstream. On a year-to-date basis, non-GAAP operating earnings are lower than GAAP earnings due to $10.8 million of after-tax non-GAAP adjustments. Non-GAAP adjustments could change significantly and are subject to swings from period to period. As a result, WGL management is not able to reasonably estimate the aggregate impact of these items to derive GAAP earnings guidance and therefore is not able to provide a corresponding GAAP equivalent for its non-GAAP operating earnings guidance.
We are affirming our consolidated non-GAAP operating earnings estimate for fiscal year 2016 in a range of $3.00 per share to $3.20 per share and guiding to the high end of the range, after adjusting for losses relating to the Antero contract.
We assume no obligation to update this guidance. The absence of any statement by us in the future should not be presumed to represent an affirmation of this earnings guidance. For the assumptions underlying this guidance, please refer to the slides accompanying our webcast that will be posted to WGL’s website, www.wglholdings.com.

The tables below reconcile operating earnings (loss) on a consolidated basis to GAAP net income (loss) applicable to common stock and adjusted EBIT on a segment basis to EBIT. Management believes that operating earnings (loss) and adjusted EBIT provide a meaningful representation of our earnings from ongoing operations on a consolidated and segment basis, respectively. These measures facilitate analysis by providing consistent and comparable measures to help management, investors and analysts better understand and evaluate our operating results and performance trends, and assist in analyzing period-to-period comparisons. Additionally, we use these non-GAAP measures to report to the board of directors and to evaluate management’s performance.
To derive our non-GAAP measures, we adjust for the accounting recognition of certain transactions (non-GAAP adjustments) based on at least one of the following criteria:
There are limits in using operating earnings (loss) and adjusted EBIT to analyze our consolidated and segment results, respectively, as they are not prepared in accordance with GAAP and may be different than non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies. In addition, using operating earnings (loss) and adjusted EBIT to analyze our results may have limited value as they exclude certain items that may have a material impact on our reported financial results. We compensate for these limitations by providing investors with the attached reconciliations to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures.

(a)
Adjustments to eliminate unrealized mark-to-market gains (losses) for our energy-related derivatives for our regulated utility and retail energy-marketing operations as well as certain derivatives related to the optimization of transportation capacity for the midstream energy services segment. With the exception of certain transactions related to the optimization of system capacity assets as discussed in footnote (b) below, when these derivatives settle, the realized economic impact is reflected in our non-GAAP results, as we are only removing interim unrealized mark-to-market amounts.
(b)
Adjustments to shift the timing of storage optimization margins for the regulated utility segment from the periods recognized for GAAP purposes to the periods in which such margins are recognized for regulatory sharing purposes. In addition, lower-of-cost or market adjustments related to system and non-system storage optimization are eliminated for non-GAAP reporting because the margins will be recognized for regulatory purposes when the withdrawals are made at the unadjusted historical cost of storage inventory.
(c)
Eliminates the estimated financial effects of warm or cold weather in the District of Columbia, as measured consistent with our regulatory tariff. Washington Gas has regulatory weather protection mechanisms in Maryland and Virginia designed to neutralize the estimated financial effects of weather. Utilization of normal weather is an industry standard, and it is our practice to evaluate our rate-regulated revenues by utilizing normal weather and to provide estimates and guidance on the basis of normal weather.
(d)
To reclassify the amortization of deferred investment tax credits from income taxes to operating income for the commercial energy systems segment. These credits are a key component of the operating success of this segment and therefore are included within adjusted EBIT to help management and investors better assess the segment's performance.
(e)
For our midstream energy services segment, adjustments to reflect storage inventory at market or at a value based on the price used to value the physical forward sales contract that is economically hedging the storage inventory. Adjusting our storage optimization inventory in this fashion better aligns the settlement of both our physical and financial transactions and allows investors and management to better analyze the results of our non-utility asset optimization strategies. Additionally, this adjustment also includes the net effect of certain sharing mechanisms on the difference between the changes in our non-GAAP storage inventory valuations and the unrealized gains and losses on derivatives not subject to non-GAAP adjustments.
(f)
Adjustment to eliminate losses associated with the index price used in certain gas purchases from Antero, which are the subject of arbitration. These losses are expected to reverse in future periods upon completion of the arbitration proceedings.
(g)
Represents an impairment charge as well as accrued selling expenses related to Washington Gas' Springfield Operations Center.
(h)
Represents unrecovered government contracting costs under the Small Business Administration's Business Development 8(a) Program. We do not anticipate any further unrecovered costs as WGL has exited its participation in this program.
(i)
Represents an impairment of an equity investment in a solar holding company, accounted for at cost, which occurred in the first quarter of fiscal year 2015.
(j)
Activities and transactions that are not significant enough on a standalone basis to warrant treatment as an operating segment and that do not fit into one of our four operating segments.
