“Our strong third quarter results, which include Emera Florida and New Mexico for the first time, reflect summer earnings in Florida and excellent cost control at New Mexico Gas Company. With the addition of these companies, we have now exceeded our target mix of net income from regulated operations and our dividend is more than covered by regulated earnings,” said Chris Huskilson, President and CEO of Emera Inc. “While the quarter was positive from a financial perspective, our thoughts remain with the citizens of Grand Bahama, following Hurricane Matthew’s direct strike on Grand Bahama Island and the damage to property, livelihoods and the transmission and distribution system. Crews from the Grand Bahama Utility and crews from virtually all of Emera’s utilities continue to work diligently to safely restore power to our customers. We are proud of the efforts of all of the Emera companies who are assisting in this significant effort.”

Emera Florida and New Mexico’s net income was $109 million. Results were driven by higher electricity sales resulting from strong customer growth, warmer than normal weather in Florida, and a continued focus on cost control in New Mexico Gas Company. The net contribution to adjusted net income was $60 million or $0.33 per common share after the $49 million in after-tax incremental interest expense associated with the permanent financing of the TECO Energy acquisition.
Nova Scotia Power Inc.’s net income was $15 million in Q3 2016, an increase of $10 million from the $5 million in Q3 2015. The increase was primarily due to decreased OM&G and timing of regulatory deferrals partially offset by Demand Side Management (DSM) program costs that are no longer deferred. NSPI’s net income year-to-date was $96 million compared to $90 million for the same period last year.
Emera Maine’s net income was $17 million Q3 2016, compared to Q3 2015 net income of $15 million. Emera Maine’s net income year-to-date was $36 million compared to $40 million for the same period last year.
Emera Caribbean’s net income of $24 million in Q3 2016 represents an increase of $11 million compared to Q3 2015 net income of $13 million. The increase was primarily due to a decrease in OM&G, and higher energy sales at BLPC. Emera Caribbean’s net income year-to-date was $92 million compared to $27 million for the same period last year. In addition, the year-to-date increase was primarily the result of the gain from the BLPC SIF as a result of the reduction in the regulatory liability recorded in Q2 2016. Third quarter results do not reflect any costs associated with Hurricane Matthew, which are expected to be fully recovered from customers over time.
Emera Energy’s net income, adjusted to exclude mark-to-market changes, was nil in Q3 2016 compared to net income of $15 million in the same quarter last year. The decrease was primarily due to higher fuel for generation and purchased power due to the expiration of a favorable gas contract at Bayside Power in 2016, lower marketing and trading margin reflecting continued low natural gas prices and volatility across the Northeast US and an increase in short-term fixed cost commitments for transportation and storage. Emera Energy’s adjusted net income year-to-date was $19 million compared to $95 million for the same period last year.
Mark-to-Market Adjustments after-tax mark-to-market losses increased $121 million to $109 million in Q3 2016 compared to $12 million gain in Q3 2015 and increased $176 million to $214 million year-to-date in 2016 compared to $38 million loss for the same period in 2015. The increased mark-to market losses in the quarter are primarily due to changes in existing positions on long-term contracts and the amortization of 2015 gas transportation assets at Emera Energy.
Corporate & Other’s net loss, adjusted to exclude mark-to-market changes, was $(151) million in Q3 2016 compared to a net loss of $(25) million in Q3 2015. The increased loss was primarily due to higher interest expense as a result of interest on the permanent financing of the TECO acquisition, non-cash accounting related costs associated with the conversion of the convertible debentures, and costs related to the TECO acquisition. Corporate & Other’s adjusted net income was $19 million year-to-date compared to a loss of $(9) million for the same period last year. Year-to-date results include $179 million of after-tax TECO acquisition costs, which were more than offset by the $199 million of after-tax gains on the sale of the APUC shares and the conversion of the APUC subscription receipts in the second quarter of 2016.
