AMERICAN ELECTRIC POWER COMPANY, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY COMPANIES
MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

EXECUTIVE OVERVIEW

Customer Demand

AEP’s weather-normalized retail sales volumes for the third quarter of 2019 were flat compared to the third quarter of 2018. AEP’s third quarter 2019 industrial sales decreased by 1.1% compared to the third quarter of 2018. The decline in industrial sales was spread across most operating companies and most industries outside of the oil and gas sector. Weather-normalized residential sales increased 0.7% while weather-normalized commercial sales increased by 0.4% in the third quarter of 2019 compared to the third quarter of 2018.

AEP’s weather-normalized retail sales volumes for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 decreased by 0.6% compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2018. AEP’s industrial sales volumes for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 decreased 1.4% compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2018. The decline in industrial sales was spread across most operating companies and most industries outside of the oil and gas sector. Weather-normalized commercial sales decreased 0.7% for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2018, while weather-normalized residential sales increased by 0.2%.

Regulatory Matters

AEP’s public utility subsidiaries are involved in rate and regulatory proceedings at the FERC and their state commissions.  Depending on the outcomes, these rate and regulatory proceedings can have a material impact on results of operations, cash flows and possibly financial condition. AEP is currently involved in the following key proceedings. See Note 4 - Rate Matters for additional information.
 
In May 2019, AEP Texas filed a request with the PUCT for a $56 million annual increase in rates based upon a proposed 10.5% return on common equity. In July and August 2019, PUCT Staff and various intervenors filed testimony that includes recommended disallowances that could potentially result in write-offs exceeding $450 million. The PUCT staff's recommended disallowances primarily consisted of $85 million in capital incentives and $26 million for capitalized vegetation management expenses.  The intervenors recommended disallowances primarily consisted of (a) $173 million for a newly constructed transmission operations center and other service centers, (b) $94 million for Hurricane Harvey costs, (c) $36 million for capitalized cross arms and (d) $21 million for capitalized plant costs related to unreimbursed damages to assets caused by third-parties.  In addition, one intervenor recommended AEP Texas refund $115 million of Excess ADIT, which includes $2 million in interest, related to previously owned deregulated generation assets. AEP Texas recorded $113 million as a favorable adjustment to income tax expense in 2017 as a result of Tax Reform. The PUCT is expected to issue an order on the case by the first quarter of 2020.

In May 2019, I&M filed a request with the IURC for a $172 million annual increase. The requested increase in Indiana rates would be phased in through January 2021 and is based upon a proposed 10.5% return on common equity.  In August 2019, various intervenors filed testimony that includes recommended disallowances that could potentially result in write-offs of $41 million related to the remaining book value of existing Indiana jurisdictional meters and $11 million associated with certain Cook Plant study costs. The IURC is expected to issue an order on the case by the first quarter of 2020.



1



Virginia Legislation Affecting Earnings Reviews - In March 2018, Virginia enacted legislation requiring APCo to file its next generation and distribution base rate case by March 31, 2020 using 2017, 2018 and 2019 test years (triennial review). Triennial reviews are subject to an earnings test which provides that 70% of any earnings exceeding 70 basis points over the Virginia SCC authorized return on common equity would be refunded to customers or be used to lower APCo’s Virginia retail base rates on a prospective basis. The Virginia legislation also states that, under certain circumstances, costs associated with asset impairments related to early retirement determinations made by a utility for generation facilities fueled by coal, natural gas or oil or for automated meters be considered fully recovered in the period recorded. Management has reviewed APCo’s actual and forecasted earnings for the triennial period and concluded that it is not probable, but is reasonably possible, that APCo will over-earn in Virginia during the 2017-2019 triennial period. Due to various uncertainties, including weather, storm restoration, weather-normalized demand and potential customer shopping during 2019, management cannot estimate a range of potential APCo Virginia over-earnings during the 2017-2019 triennial period.

Virginia Staff Depreciation Study Request - In November 2018, Virginia staff recommended that APCo implement new Virginia jurisdictional depreciation rates effective January 1, 2018 based on APCo’s depreciation study that was prepared at Virginia staff’s request using December 31, 2017 APCo property balances. Implementation of those depreciation rates would result in a $21 million pretax increase in annual depreciation expense with no corresponding increase in retail base rates. In December 2018, APCo submitted a response to the Virginia Staff stating that it was inappropriate for APCo to change Virginia depreciation rates in advance of APCo’s triennial review, citing the Virginia SCC’s November 2014 order to not change APCo’s Virginia depreciation rates until APCo’s next base rate case/review.

2020 Increase in West Virginia Retail Rates for WPCo 17.5% Merchant Share of Mitchell Plant - In January 2015, the WVPSC approved a settlement agreement in which 82.5% of the costs associated with WPCo’s acquired interest were prospectively reflected in retail rates with the remaining 17.5% of costs associated with the acquired interest to be included in rates starting January 2020. APCo and WPCo file joint retail rates in West Virginia. In June 2019, APCo and WPCo filed with the WVPSC to increase each company’s retail rates (through a surcharge) starting January 1, 2020 to reflect the recovery of WPCo’s remaining 17.5% interest in the Mitchell Plant. The joint filing will increase APCo’s and WPCo’s combined West Virginia retail rates by approximately $21 million annually.

2012 Texas Base Rate Case - In 2012, SWEPCo filed a request with the PUCT to increase annual base rates primarily due to the completion of the Turk Plant. In 2013, the PUCT issued an order affirming the prudence of the Turk Plant. In July 2018, the Texas Third Court of Appeals reversed the PUCT’s judgment affirming the prudence of the Turk Plant and remanded the issue back to the PUCT. In August 2018, SWEPCo filed a Motion for Reconsideration at the Court of Appeals, which was denied. In January 2019, SWEPCo and the PUCT filed petitions for review with the Texas Supreme Court. In May 2019, various intervenors filed replies to the petition. In July 2019, SWEPCo filed its response to these briefs. The Texas Supreme Court has requested full briefing by the parties. SWEPCo’s initial brief is due in October 2019. Response briefs are due in November 2019 and SWEPCo’s reply brief is due in December 2019. As of September 30, 2019, the net book value of Turk Plant was $1.5 billion, before cost of removal, including materials and supplies inventory and CWIP. SWEPCo’s Texas jurisdictional share of the Turk Plant investment is approximately 33%.

In July 2019, clean energy legislation which offers incentives for power-generating facilities with zero or reduced carbon emissions was signed into law by the Ohio Governor.  The clean energy legislation phases out current energy efficiency and renewable mandates no later than 2020 and after 2026, respectively.  The bill provides for the recovery of existing renewable energy contracts on a bypassable basis through 2032. The clean energy legislation also includes a provision for recovery of OVEC costs through 2030 which will be allocated to all electric distribution utilities on a non-bypassable basis.  OPCo’s Inter-Company Power Agreement for OVEC terminates in June 2040. To the extent that OPCo is unable to recover the costs of renewable energy contracts on a bypassable basis by the end of 2032, recover costs of OVEC after 2030 or fully recover energy efficiency costs through 2020 it could reduce future net income and cash flows and impact financial condition.

Renewable Generation

The growth of AEP’s renewable generation portfolio reflects the company’s strategy to diversify generation resources to provide clean energy options to customers that meet both their energy and capacity needs.

Contracted Renewable Generation Facilities

AEP continues to develop its renewable portfolio within the Generation & Marketing segment.  Activities include working directly with wholesale and large retail customers to provide tailored solutions based upon market knowledge, technology innovations and deal structuring which may include distributed solar, wind, combined heat and power, energy storage, waste heat recovery, energy efficiency, peaking generation and other forms of cost reducing energy technologies.  The Generation & Marketing segment also develops and/or acquires large scale renewable generation projects that are backed with long-term contracts with creditworthy counterparties.

In April 2019, AEP acquired Sempra Renewables LLC and its ownership interests in 724 MWs of wind generation and battery assets valued at approximately $1.1 billion. AEP paid $583 million in cash and acquired a 50% ownership interest in five non-consolidated joint ventures with net assets valued at $406 million as of the acquisition date (which includes $364 million of existing debt obligations). Additionally, the transaction included the acquisition of two tax equity partnerships and the associated recognition of noncontrolling tax equity interest of $135 million. The wind generation portfolio includes seven wind farms with long-term PPAs for 100% of their energy production. Five of the wind farms are jointly-owned with BP Wind Energy and two wind farms are consolidated by AEP and are tax equity partnerships with nonaffiliated noncontrolling interests. See “Acquisitions” section of Note 6 for additional information.

3



In July 2019, AEP acquired a 75% interest, or 227 MWs, in Santa Rita East for approximately $356 million. The project is located in west Texas and was placed in-service in July 2019. Long-term virtual power purchase agreements are in place with nonaffiliates for the project’s generation. See “Acquisitions” section of Note 6 for additional information.

As of September 30, 2019, subsidiaries within AEP’s Generation & Marketing segment had approximately 1,396 MWs of contracted renewable generation projects in-service.  In addition, as of September 30, 2019, these subsidiaries had approximately 54 MWs of renewable generation projects under construction with total estimated capital costs of $67 million related to these projects.

Regulated Renewable Generation Facilities

In September 2018, OPCo, consistent with its commitment in the previously approved PPA application, submitted a filing with the PUCO demonstrating a need for up to 900 MWs of economically beneficial renewable resources in Ohio. This filing was followed by a separate filing for two solar Renewable Energy Purchase Agreements totaling 400 MWs. In January 2019, PUCO staff recommended that the PUCO reject OPCo’s request. If approved, the solar generation facilities are expected to be operational by the end of 2021.

In July 2019, PSO and SWEPCo submitted filings before their respective commissions for the approval to acquire the North Central Wind Energy Facilities, comprised of three Oklahoma wind facilities totaling 1,485 MWs, on a fixed cost turn-key basis at completion.  Subject to regulatory approval, PSO will own 45.5% and SWEPCo will own 55.5% of the project, which will cost approximately $2 billion.  Two wind facilities, totaling 1,286 MWs, would qualify for 80% of the federal PTC with year-end 2021 in-service dates.  The third wind facility (199 MWs) would qualify for 100% of the PTC with a year-end 2020 in-service date. The acquisition can be scaled, subject to commercial limitation, to align with individual state resource needs and approvals. Hearings are scheduled for the first quarter of 2020. PSO and SWEPCo are seeking regulatory approvals by July 2020.

Racine

A project to reconstruct a defective dam structure at Racine began in the first quarter of 2017.  Due to a significant increase in estimated costs to complete the reconstruction project, AEP recorded impairments in 2017 and 2018.  See Note 7 - Dispositions and Impairments in the 2018 Annual Report for additional information.

Due to weather-related delays in the first quarter of 2019, reconstruction activities at Racine are now estimated to be completed in the first half of 2020. AEP expects to incur additional capital expenditures to complete the reconstruction project, at which point the fair value of Racine, as fully operational, is expected to approximate the book value once complete. Future revisions in cost estimates or delays in completion could result in additional losses which could reduce future net income and cash flows and impact financial condition.

Dolet Hills Lignite Company Operations

During the second quarter of 2019, Dolet Hills Power Station switched to a seasonal operational strategy. DHLC’s mining operation will continue year-round but will reduce its lignite output. SWEPCo’s share of the net investment in the Dolet Hills Power Station is $129 million and the maximum exposure of SWEPCo’s total investment in DHLC is $153 million. Management will continue to monitor the economic viability of the Dolet Hills Power Station and DHLC.

LITIGATION

In the ordinary course of business, AEP is involved in employment, commercial, environmental and regulatory litigation. Since it is difficult to predict the outcome of these proceedings, management cannot predict the eventual resolution, timing or amount of any loss, fine or penalty. Management assesses the probability of loss for each contingency and accrues a liability for cases that have a probable likelihood of loss if the loss can be estimated.  Adverse results in these proceedings have the potential to reduce future net income and cash flows and impact financial condition. See Note 4 – Rate Matters and Note 5 – Commitments, Guarantees and Contingencies for additional information.

Rockport Plant Litigation

In 2013, the Wilmington Trust Company filed a complaint in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York against AEGCo and I&M alleging that it would be unlawfully burdened by the terms of the modified NSR consent decree after the Rockport Plant, Unit 2 lease expiration in December 2022.  The terms of the consent decree allow the installation of environmental emission control equipment, repowering, refueling or retirement of the unit.  The plaintiffs seek a judgment declaring that the defendants breached the lease, must satisfy obligations related to installation of emission control equipment and indemnify the plaintiffs.  The New York court granted a motion to transfer this case to the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Ohio.

AEGCo and I&M sought and were granted dismissal by the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Ohio of certain of the plaintiffs’ claims, including claims for compensatory damages, breach of contract, breach of the implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing and indemnification of costs. Plaintiffs voluntarily dismissed the surviving claims that AEGCo and I&M failed to exercise prudent utility practices with prejudice, and the court issued a final judgment. The plaintiffs subsequently filed an appeal in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit.

In 2017, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit issued an opinion and judgment affirming the district court’s dismissal of the owners’ breach of good faith and fair dealing claim as duplicative of the breach of contract claims, reversing the district court’s dismissal of the breach of contract claims and remanding the case for further proceedings.

Thereafter, AEP filed a motion with the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Ohio in the original NSR litigation, seeking to modify the consent decree. The district court granted the owners’ unopposed motion to stay the lease litigation to afford time for resolution of AEP’s motion to modify the consent decree. The consent decree was modified based on an agreement among the parties in July 2019. The district court entered a stipulated order to stay the lease litigation to afford time for the parties in the lease litigation to engage in settlement discussions. See “Modification of the NSR Litigation Consent Decree” section below for additional information.

Management will continue to defend against the claims. Given that the district court dismissed plaintiffs’ claims seeking compensatory relief as premature, and that plaintiffs have yet to present a methodology for determining or any analysis supporting any alleged damages, management cannot determine a range of potential losses that are reasonably possible of occurring.

Patent Infringement Complaint

In July 2019, Midwest Energy Emissions Corporation and MES Inc. (collectively, the plaintiffs) filed a patent infringement complaint against various parties, including AEP Texas, AGR, Cardinal Operating Company and SWEPCo (collectively, the AEP Defendants). The complaint alleges that the AEP Defendants infringed two patents owned by the plaintiffs by using specific processes for mercury control at certain coal-fired generating stations.  The complaint seeks injunctive relief and damages.  Management will continue to defend against the claims. Management is unable to determine a range of potential loss that is reasonably possible of occurring.

ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUES

AEP has a substantial capital investment program and incurs additional operational costs to comply with environmental control requirements.  Additional investments and operational changes will be made in response to existing and anticipated requirements to reduce emissions from fossil generation, rules governing the beneficial use and disposal of coal combustion by-products, clean water rules and renewal permits for certain water discharges.

AEP is engaged in litigation about environmental issues, was notified of potential responsibility for the clean-up of contaminated sites and incurred costs for disposal of SNF and future decommissioning of the nuclear units.  AEP, along with other parties challenged some of the Federal EPA requirements.  Management is engaged in the development of possible future requirements including the items discussed below.  Management believes that further analysis and better coordination of these environmental requirements would facilitate planning and lower overall compliance costs while achieving the same environmental goals.


5



AEP will seek recovery of expenditures for pollution control technologies and associated costs from customers through rates in regulated jurisdictions.  Environmental rules could result in accelerated depreciation, impairment of assets or regulatory disallowances.  If AEP cannot recover the costs of environmental compliance, it would reduce future net income and cash flows and impact financial condition.

Environmental Controls Impact on the Generating Fleet

The rules and proposed environmental controls discussed below will have a material impact on AEP System generating units.  Management continues to evaluate the impact of these rules, project scope and technology available to achieve compliance.  As of September 30, 2019, the AEP System had generating capacity of approximately 25,500 MWs, of which approximately 13,200 MWs were coal-fired.  Management continues to refine the cost estimates of complying with these rules and other impacts of the environmental proposals on fossil generation. Based upon management estimates, AEP’s investment to meet these existing and proposed requirements ranges from approximately $550 million to $1.1 billion through 2026.

The cost estimates will change depending on the timing of implementation and whether the Federal EPA provides flexibility in finalizing proposed rules or revising certain existing requirements.  The cost estimates will also change based on: (a) potential state rules that impose more stringent standards, (b) additional rulemaking activities in response to court decisions, (c) actual performance of the pollution control technologies installed, (d) changes in costs for new pollution controls, (e) new generating technology developments, (f) total MWs of capacity retired and replaced, including the type and amount of such replacement capacity and (g) other factors.  In addition, management continues to evaluate the economic feasibility of environmental investments on regulated and competitive plants.

The table below represents the net book value before cost of removal, including related materials and supplies inventory, of plants or units of plants previously retired that have a remaining net book value as of September 30, 2019.

APCo obtained permits following the Virginia SCC’s and WVPSC’s approval to convert Clinch River Plant, Units 1 and 2 to natural gas. In 2015, APCo retired the coal-related assets of Clinch River Plant, Units 1 and 2. Clinch River Plant, Units 1 and 2 began operations as natural gas units in 2016.
(b)
In October 2019, SWEPCo filed a stipulation and settlement agreement with the APSC, which includes recovery of the remaining $15 million Arkansas jurisdictional share of the net book value of Welsh Plant, Unit 2. An order from the APSC is expected in the fourth quarter of 2019.

Management is seeking or will seek recovery of the remaining net book value in future rate proceedings. To the extent the net book value of these generation assets is not recoverable, it could materially reduce future net income and cash flows and impact financial condition.

Modification of the New Source Review Litigation Consent Decree

In 2007, the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Ohio approved a consent decree between AEP subsidiaries in the eastern area of the AEP System and the Department of Justice, the Federal EPA, eight northeastern states and other interested parties to settle claims that the AEP subsidiaries violated the NSR provisions of the CAA when they undertook various equipment repair and replacement projects over a period of nearly 20 years.  The consent decree’s terms include installation of environmental control equipment on certain generating units, a declining cap on SO2 and NOx emissions from the AEP System and various mitigation projects.

In 2017, AEP filed a motion with the district court seeking to modify the consent decree to eliminate an obligation to install future controls at Rockport Plant, Unit 2 if AEP does not acquire ownership of that unit, and to modify the consent decree in other respects to preserve the environmental benefits of the consent decree.  The other parties to the consent decree opposed AEP’s motion. The district court granted AEP’s request to delay the deadline to install SCR technology at Rockport Plant, Unit 2 until June 2020.

In May 2019, the parties filed a proposed order to modify the consent decree. The proposed order requires AEP to enhance the dry sorbent injection system on both units at the Rockport Plant by the end of 2020, and meet 30-day rolling average emission rates for SO2 and NOx at the combined stack for the Rockport Plant beginning in 2021. Total SO2 emissions from the Rockport Plant are limited to 10,000 tons per year beginning in 2021 and reduce to 5,000 tons per year when Rockport Plant, Unit 1 retires in 2028. The proposed modification was approved by the district court and became effective in July 2019. As part of the modification to the consent decree, I&M agreed to provide an additional $7.5 million to citizens’ groups and the states for environmental mitigation projects. As joint owners in the Rockport Plant, the $7.5 million payment was shared between AEGCo and I&M based on the joint ownership agreement.

Clean Air Act Requirements

The CAA establishes a comprehensive program to protect and improve the nation’s air quality and control sources of air emissions. The states implement and administer many of these programs and could impose additional or more stringent requirements. The primary regulatory programs that continue to drive investments in AEP’s existing generating units include: (a) periodic revisions to NAAQS and the development of SIPs to achieve any more stringent standards, (b) implementation of the regional haze program by the states and the Federal EPA, (c) regulation of hazardous air pollutant emissions under MATS, (d) implementation and review of CSAPR and (e) the Federal EPA’s regulation of greenhouse gas emissions from fossil generation under Section 111 of the CAA. Notable developments in significant CAA regulatory requirements affecting AEP’s operations are discussed in the following sections.

National Ambient Air Quality Standards

The Federal EPA issued new, more stringent NAAQS for PM in 2012 and ozone in 2015. The existing standards for NO2 and SO2 were retained after review by the Federal EPA in 2018 and 2019, respectively. Implementation of these standards is underway.

In 2016, the Federal EPA completed an integrated review plan for the 2012 PM standard. Work is currently underway on scientific, risk and policy assessments necessary to develop a proposed rule, which is anticipated in 2021.

The Federal EPA finalized non-attainment designations for the 2015 ozone standard in 2018. The Federal EPA has confirmed that for states included in the CSAPR program, there are no additional interstate transport obligations, as all areas of the country are expected to attain the 2008 ozone standard before 2023. Challenges to the 2015 ozone standard and the Federal EPA’s determination that CSAPR satisfies certain states’ interstate transport obligations are pending in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit. In 2018, the Federal EPA proposed final requirements for implementing the 2015 ozone standard, which have been challenged in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit. Management cannot currently predict the nature, stringency or timing of additional requirements for AEP’s facilities based on the outcome of these activities.

Regional Haze

The Federal EPA issued a Clean Air Visibility Rule (CAVR), detailing how the CAA’s requirement that certain facilities install best available retrofit technology (BART) would address regional haze in federal parks and other protected areas.  BART requirements apply to power plants.  CAVR will be implemented through SIPs or FIPs.  In 2017, the Federal EPA revised the rules governing submission of SIPs to implement the visibility programs, including a provision that postpones the due date for the next comprehensive SIP revisions until 2021. Petitions for review of the final rule revisions have been filed in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit.

In 2012, the Federal EPA proposed disapproval of a portion of the regional haze SIP in Arkansas and finalized a FIP in 2016. In 2017, Arkansas issued a proposed SIP revision to allow sources to participate in the CSAPR ozone season program in lieu of the source-specific NOx BART requirements in the FIP, and in 2018, the Federal EPA approved the

7



revision. Arkansas finalized a separate action in 2017 to revise the SO2 BART determinations and in September 2019, the Federal EPA approved the Arkansas SO2 BART determinations. SWEPCo’s Flint Creek Plant is already in compliance with the applicable requirements.

The Federal EPA also disapproved portions of the Texas regional haze SIP. In 2017, the Federal EPA finalized a FIP that allows participation in the CSAPR ozone season program to satisfy the NOx regional haze obligations for electric generating units in Texas. Additionally, the Federal EPA finalized an intrastate SO2 emissions trading program based on CSAPR allowance allocations. A challenge to the FIP was filed in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit by various intervenors and the case is pending the Federal EPA’s reconsideration of the final rule. In August 2018, the Federal EPA proposed to affirm its 2017 FIP approval. Management supports the intrastate trading program contained in the FIP as a compliance alternative to source-specific controls.

Cross-State Air Pollution Rule

In 2011, the Federal EPA issued CSAPR as a replacement for the Clean Air Interstate Rule, a regional trading program designed to address interstate transport of emissions that contributed significantly to downwind non-attainment with the 1997 ozone and PM NAAQS.  CSAPR relies on SO2 and NOx allowances and individual state budgets to compel further emission reductions from electric utility generating units.  Interstate trading of allowances is allowed on a restricted sub-regional basis.

Petitions to review the CSAPR were filed in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit. In 2015, the court found that the Federal EPA over-controlled the SO2 and/or NOx budgets of 14 states. The court remanded the rule to the Federal EPA for revision consistent with the court’s opinion while CSAPR remained in place.

In 2016, the Federal EPA issued a final rule, the CSAPR Update, to address the remand and to incorporate additional changes necessary to address the 2008 ozone standard. The CSAPR Update significantly reduced ozone season budgets in many states and discounted the value of banked CSAPR ozone season allowances beginning with the 2017 ozone season. In 2019, the appeals court remanded the CSAPR Update to the Federal EPA because it determined the Federal EPA had not properly considered the attainment dates for downwind areas in establishing its partial remedy, and should have considered whether there were available measures to control emissions from sources other than generating units. Management has complied with the more stringent ozone season budgets while these petitions were pending.

Mercury and Other Hazardous Air Pollutants (HAPs) Regulation

In 2012, the Federal EPA issued a rule addressing a broad range of HAPs from coal and oil-fired power plants.  The rule established unit-specific emission rates for units burning coal on a 30-day rolling average basis for mercury, PM (as a surrogate for particles of non-mercury metals) and hydrogen chloride (as a surrogate for acid gases).  In addition, the rule proposed work practice standards for controlling emissions of organic HAPs and dioxin/furans, with compliance required within three years. Management obtained administrative extensions for up to one year at several units to facilitate the installation of controls or to avoid a serious reliability problem.

In 2014, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit denied all of the petitions for review of the 2012 final rule. Various intervenors filed petitions for further review in the U.S. Supreme Court.

In 2015, the U.S. Supreme Court reversed the decision of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit. The court remanded the MATS rule to the Federal EPA to consider costs in determining whether to regulate emissions of HAPs from power plants. In 2016, the Federal EPA issued a supplemental finding concluding that, after considering the costs of compliance, it was appropriate and necessary to regulate HAP emissions from coal and oil-fired units. Petitions for review of the Federal EPA’s determination were filed in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit. In 2018, the Federal EPA released a revised finding that the costs of reducing HAP emissions to the level in the current rule exceed the benefits of those HAP emission reductions. The Federal EPA also determined that there are no significant changes in control technologies and the remaining risks associated with HAP emissions do not justify any more stringent standards. Therefore, the Federal EPA proposed to retain the current MATS standards without change. The comment period on this proposal ended in April 2019.

Climate Change, CO2 Regulation and Energy Policy

In 2015, the Federal EPA published the final CO2 emissions standards for new, modified and reconstructed fossil generating units, and final guidelines for the development of state plans to regulate CO2 emissions from existing sources, known as the Clean Power Plan (CPP).

In 2016, the U.S. Supreme Court issued a stay on the final CPP, including all of the deadlines for submission of initial or final state plans until a final decision is issued by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit and the U.S. Supreme Court considers any petition for review. In 2017, the President issued an Executive Order directing the Federal EPA to reconsider the CPP and the associated standards for new sources. The Federal EPA filed a motion to hold the challenges to the CPP in abeyance pending reconsideration. In September 2019, following the Federal EPA’s finalization of rescission of the CPP and promulgation of the replacement rule, the Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit dismissed the challenges.

In July 2019, the Federal EPA finalized the Affordable Clean Energy (ACE) rule to replace the CPP with new emission guidelines for regulating CO2 from existing sources. ACE establishes a framework for states to adopt standards of performance for utility boilers based on heat rate improvements for such boilers. The final rule applies to generating units that commenced construction prior to January 2014, generate greater than 25 MWs, have a baseload rating above 250 MMBtu per hour and burn coal for more than 10% of the annual average heat input over the preceding three calendar years, with certain exceptions. States must establish standards of performance for each affected facility in terms of pounds of CO2 emitted per MWh, based on certain heat rate improvement measures and the degree of emission reduction achievable through each applicable measure, together with consideration of certain site-specific factors and the unit’s remaining useful life. State plans are required to be submitted within three years, and the Federal EPA has up to two years to review and approve or disapprove the plan and adopt a federal plan. The final ACE rule has been challenged in the courts.

In 2018, the Federal EPA filed a proposed rule revising the standards for new sources and determined that partial carbon capture and storage is not the best system of emission reduction because it is not available throughout the U.S. and is not cost-effective. Management continues to actively monitor these rulemaking activities.

AEP has taken action to reduce and offset CO2 emissions from its generating fleet and expects CO2 emissions from its operations to continue to decline due to the retirement of some of its coal-fired generation units, and actions taken to diversify the generation fleet and increase energy efficiency where there is regulatory support for such activities. The majority of the states where AEP has generating facilities passed legislation establishing renewable energy, alternative energy and/or energy efficiency requirements that can assist in reducing carbon emissions.  Management is taking steps to comply with these requirements, including increasing wind and solar installations, purchasing renewable power and broadening AEP System’s portfolio of energy efficiency programs.

In September 2019, AEP announced new intermediate and long-term CO2 emission reduction goals, based on the output of the company’s integrated resource plans, which take into account economics, customer demand, grid reliability and resiliency, regulations and the company’s current business strategy. The intermediate goal is a 70% reduction from 2000 CO2 emission levels from AEP generating facilities by 2030; the long-term goal is to surpass an 80% reduction of CO2 emissions from AEP generating facilities from 2000 levels by 2050. AEP’s total estimated CO2 emissions in 2018 were approximately 69 million metric tons, a 59% reduction from AEP’s 2000 CO2 emissions. AEP has made significant progress in reducing CO2 emissions from power generation fleet and expect its emissions to continue to decline. AEP’s aspirational emissions goal is zero emissions by 2050. Technological advances, including energy storage, will determine how quickly AEP can achieve zero emissions while continuing to provide reliable, affordable power for customers.

Federal and state legislation or regulations that mandate limits on the emission of CO2 could result in significant increases in capital expenditures and operating costs, which in turn, could lead to increased liquidity needs and higher financing costs.  Excessive costs to comply with future legislation or regulations might force AEP to close some coal-fired facilities, which could possibly lead to impairment of assets.

Coal Combustion Residual (CCR) Rule

In 2015, the Federal EPA published a final rule to regulate the disposal and beneficial re-use of CCR, including fly ash and bottom ash created from coal-fired generating units and FGD gypsum generated at some coal-fired plants.  The rule applies to active CCR landfills and surface impoundments at operating electric utility or independent generation facilities. The rule imposes construction and operating obligations, including location restrictions, liner criteria, structural integrity requirements for impoundments, operating criteria and additional groundwater monitoring requirements to be implemented on a schedule spanning an approximate four-year implementation period. In 2018, some of AEP’s facilities were required to begin monitoring programs to determine if unacceptable groundwater impacts will trigger future corrective measures. Based on additional groundwater data, further studies to design and assess appropriate corrective measures have been undertaken at four facilities. Alternative source demonstrations have been prepared in accordance with the rule at four other facilities.

In a challenge to the final 2015 rule, the parties initially agreed to settle some of the issues.  In 2018, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit addressed or dismissed the remaining issues in its decision vacating and remanding certain provisions of the 2015 rule.  The provisions addressed by the court’s decision, including changes to the provisions for unlined impoundments and legacy sites, will be the subject of further rulemaking consistent with the court’s decision.

Prior to the court’s decision, the Federal EPA issued the July 2018 rule that modifies certain compliance deadlines and other requirements in the 2015 rule.  In December 2018, challengers filed a motion for partial stay or vacatur of the July 2018 rule. On the same day, the Federal EPA filed a motion for partial remand of the July 2018 rule. The court granted the Federal EPA’s motion, and further rulemaking to address the court’s decisions is expected to be completed near the end of 2019.

Other utilities and industrial sources have been engaged in litigation with environmental advocacy groups who claim that releases of contaminants from wells, CCR units, pipelines and other facilities to groundwaters that have a hydrologic connection to a surface water body represent an “unpermitted discharge” under the CWA. Two cases were accepted by the U.S. Supreme Court for further review of the scope of CWA jurisdiction. The Federal EPA opened a rulemaking docket to solicit information to determine whether it should provide additional clarification of the scope of CWA permitting requirements for discharges to groundwater, and issued an interpretive statement finding that discharges to groundwater are not subject to NPDES permitting requirements under the CWA. Management is unable to predict the impact of this guidance or the outcome of these cases on AEP’s facilities.

Because AEP currently uses surface impoundments and landfills to manage CCR materials at generating facilities, significant costs will be incurred to upgrade or close and replace these existing facilities and conduct any required remedial actions. Closure and post-closure costs have been included in ARO in accordance with the requirements in the final rule. This estimate does not include costs of groundwater remediation, where required. Management will continue to evaluate the rule’s impact on operations.

Clean Water Act Regulations

In 2014, the Federal EPA issued a final rule setting forth standards for existing power plants that is intended to reduce mortality of aquatic organisms impinged or entrained in the cooling water.  The rule was upheld on review by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit. Compliance timeframes are established by the permit agency through each facility’s NPDES permit as those permits are renewed and have been incorporated into permits at several AEP facilities. Additional AEP facilities are reviewing these requirements as their wastewater discharge permits are renewed and making appropriate adjustments to their intake structures.

In 2015, the Federal EPA issued a final rule revising effluent limitation guidelines for generating facilities. The rule established limits on FGD wastewater, fly ash and bottom ash transport water and flue gas mercury control wastewater to be imposed as soon as possible after November 2018 and no later than December 2023. These requirements would be implemented through each facility’s wastewater discharge permit. The rule was challenged in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit. In 2017, the Federal EPA announced its intent to reconsider and potentially revise the standards for FGD wastewater and bottom ash transport water. The Federal EPA postponed the compliance deadlines

10



for those wastewater categories to be no earlier than 2020, to allow for reconsideration. A revised rule could be proposed later in 2019. In April 2019, the Fifth Circuit vacated the standards for landfill leachate and legacy wastewater, and remanded them to the Federal EPA for reconsideration.  Management is assessing technology additions and retrofits to comply with the rule and the impacts of the Federal EPA’s recent actions on facilities’ wastewater discharge permitting.

In 2015, the Federal EPA and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers jointly issued a final rule to clarify the scope of the regulatory definition of “waters of the United States” in light of recent U.S. Supreme Court cases. In December 2018, the Federal EPA and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers released a proposed rule to replace the definition in the 2015 rule. The comment period for this proposal ended in April 2019. In September 2019, the Federal EPA announced the final repeal of the 2015 definition of “waters of the United States” and recodification of the regulatory definition that was in place prior to the 2015 rule.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

SEGMENTS

AEP’s primary business is the generation, transmission and distribution of electricity.  Within its Vertically Integrated Utilities segment, AEP centrally dispatches generation assets and manages its overall utility operations on an integrated basis because of the substantial impact of cost-based rates and regulatory oversight.  Intersegment sales and transfers are generally based on underlying contractual arrangements and agreements.

AEP’s reportable segments and their related business activities are outlined below:

Vertically Integrated Utilities

Generation, transmission and distribution of electricity for sale to retail and wholesale customers through assets owned and operated by AEGCo, APCo, I&M, KGPCo, KPCo, PSO, SWEPCo and WPCo.

Transmission and Distribution Utilities

Transmission and distribution of electricity for sale to retail and wholesale customers through assets owned and operated by AEP Texas and OPCo.
OPCo purchases energy and capacity at auction to serve SSO customers and provides transmission and distribution services for all connected load.

AEP Transmission Holdco

Development, construction and operation of transmission facilities through investments in AEPTCo. These investments have FERC-approved returns on equity.
Development, construction and operation of transmission facilities through investments in AEP’s transmission-only joint ventures. These investments have PUCT-approved or FERC-approved returns on equity.

Generation & Marketing

Competitive generation in ERCOT and PJM.
Marketing, risk management and retail activities in ERCOT, PJM, SPP and MISO.
Contracted renewable energy investments and management services.

The remainder of AEP’s activities are presented as Corporate and Other. While not considered a reportable segment, Corporate and Other primarily includes the purchasing of receivables from certain AEP utility subsidiaries, Parent’s guarantee revenue received from affiliates, investment income, interest income and interest expense and other nonallocated costs.

The following discussion of AEP’s results of operations by operating segment includes an analysis of Gross Margin, which is a non-GAAP financial measure. Gross Margin includes Total Revenues less the costs of Fuel and Other Consumables Used for Electric Generation as well as Purchased Electricity for Resale and Amortization of Generation Deferrals as presented in the Registrants statements of income as applicable. Under the various state utility rate making processes, these expenses are generally reimbursable directly from and billed to customers. As a result, they do not typically impact Operating Income or Earnings Attributable to AEP Common Shareholders. Management believes that Gross Margin provides a useful measure for investors and other financial statement users to analyze AEP’s financial performance in that it excludes the effect on Total Revenues caused by volatility in these expenses. Operating Income, which is presented in accordance with GAAP in AEP’s statements of income, is the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure to the presentation of Gross Margin. AEP’s definition of Gross Margin may not be directly comparable to similarly titled financial measures used by other companies.

Heating degree days and cooling degree days are metrics commonly used in the utility industry as a measure of the impact of weather on revenues.  In general, degree day changes in the eastern region have a larger effect on revenues than changes in the western region due to the relative size of the two regions and the number of customers within each region.

Third Quarter of 2019 Compared to Third Quarter of 2018

AEP’s ratio of debt-to-total capital increased from 57% as of December 31, 2018 to 58.7% as of September 30, 2019 primarily due to an increase in debt to support distribution, transmission and renewable investment growth.

Liquidity

Liquidity, or access to cash, is an important factor in determining AEP’s financial stability.  Management believes AEP has adequate liquidity under its existing credit facilities.  As of September 30, 2019, AEP had a $4 billion revolving credit facility to support its commercial paper program.  Additional liquidity is available from cash from operations and a receivables securitization agreement.  Management is committed to maintaining adequate liquidity.  AEP generally uses short-term borrowings to fund working capital needs, property acquisitions and construction until long-term funding is arranged.  Sources of long-term funding include issuance of long-term debt, leasing agreements, hybrid securities or common stock.

Net Available Liquidity

AEP manages liquidity by maintaining adequate external financing commitments.  As of September 30, 2019, available liquidity was approximately $2.6 billion as illustrated in the table below:

AEP uses its commercial paper program to meet the short-term borrowing needs of its subsidiaries.  The program funds a Utility Money Pool, which funds AEP’s utility subsidiaries; a Nonutility Money Pool, which funds certain AEP nonutility subsidiaries; and the short-term debt requirements of subsidiaries that are not participating in either money pool for regulatory or operational reasons, as direct borrowers.  The maximum amount of commercial paper outstanding during the first nine months of 2019 was $2.2 billion.  The weighted-average interest rate for AEP’s commercial paper during 2019 was 2.66%.

Other Credit Facilities

An uncommitted facility gives the issuer of the facility the right to accept or decline each request made under the facility. AEP issues letters of credit on behalf of subsidiaries under six uncommitted facilities totaling $405 million. The Registrants’ maximum future payments for letters of credit issued under the uncommitted facilities as of September 30, 2019 was $204 million with maturities ranging from October 2019 to October 2020.

36



Securitized Accounts Receivables

AEP’s receivables securitization agreement provides a commitment of $750 million from bank conduits to purchase receivables and expires in July 2021.

Debt Covenants and Borrowing Limitations

AEP’s credit agreements contain certain covenants and require it to maintain a percentage of debt-to-total capitalization at a level that does not exceed 67.5%.  The method for calculating outstanding debt and capitalization is contractually-defined in AEP’s credit agreements.  Debt as defined in the revolving credit agreement excludes securitization bonds and debt of AEP Credit. As of September 30, 2019, this contractually-defined percentage was 55.3%.  Non-performance under these covenants could result in an event of default under these credit agreements.  In addition, the acceleration of AEP’s payment obligations, or the obligations of certain of AEP’s major subsidiaries, prior to maturity under any other agreement or instrument relating to debt outstanding in excess of $50 million, would cause an event of default under these credit agreements.  This condition also applies in a majority of AEP’s non-exchange-traded commodity contracts and would similarly allow lenders and counterparties to declare the outstanding amounts payable.  However, a default under AEP’s non-exchange-traded commodity contracts would not cause an event of default under its credit agreements.

The revolving credit facility does not permit the lenders to refuse a draw on any facility if a material adverse change occurs.

Utility Money Pool borrowings and external borrowings may not exceed amounts authorized by regulatory orders and AEP manages its borrowings to stay within those authorized limits.

Equity Units

In March 2019, AEP issued 16.1 million Equity Units initially in the form of corporate units, at a stated amount of $50 per unit, for a total stated amount of $805 million. Net proceeds from the issuance were approximately $785 million. Each corporate unit represents a 1/20 undivided beneficial ownership interest in $1,000 principal amount of AEP’s 3.40% Junior Subordinated Notes due in 2024 and a forward equity purchase contract which settles after three years in 2022. The proceeds from this issuance were used to support AEP’s overall capital expenditure plans including the recent acquisition of Sempra Renewables LLC. See Note 13 - Financing Activities for additional information.

Dividend Policy and Restrictions

The Board of Directors declared a quarterly dividend of $0.70 per share in October 2019. Future dividends may vary depending upon AEP’s profit levels, operating cash flow levels and capital requirements, as well as financial and other business conditions existing at the time. Parent’s income primarily derives from common stock equity in the earnings of its utility subsidiaries. Various financing arrangements and regulatory requirements may impose certain restrictions on the ability of the subsidiaries to transfer funds to Parent in the form of dividends. Management does not believe these restrictions will have any significant impact on its ability to access cash to meet the payment of dividends on its common stock. See “Dividend Restrictions” section of Note 13 for additional information.

Credit Ratings

AEP and its utility subsidiaries do not have any credit arrangements that would require material changes in payment schedules or terminations as a result of a credit downgrade, but its access to the commercial paper market may depend on its credit ratings.  In addition, downgrades in AEP’s credit ratings by one of the rating agencies could increase its borrowing costs.  Counterparty concerns about the credit quality of AEP or its utility subsidiaries could subject AEP to additional collateral demands under adequate assurance clauses under its derivative and non-derivative energy contracts.

37



CASH FLOW

AEP relies primarily on cash flows from operations, debt issuances and its existing cash and cash equivalents to fund its liquidity and investing activities. AEP’s investing and capital requirements are primarily capital expenditures, repaying of long-term debt and paying dividends to shareholders. AEP uses short-term debt, including commercial paper, as a bridge to long-term debt financing. The levels of borrowing may vary significantly due to the timing of long-term debt financings and the impact of fluctuations in cash flows.

(a)
Non-Cash Adjustments to Net Income includes Depreciation and Amortization, Deferred Income Taxes, AFUDC and Amortization of Nuclear Fuel.
 
Net Cash Flows from Operating Activities decreased by $583 million primarily due to the following:
A $512 million decrease in cash from Change in Certain Components of Working Capital. The decrease is primarily due to increase in purchases of fuel, material and supplies, decreased accrued taxes, higher employee-related payments and refund related to Tax Reform, partially offset by receivables due to the changes in timing.
A $171 million decrease in cash from Change in Other Noncurrent Assets primarily due to a change in regulatory assets as a result of AEP subsidiaries with rider recovery mechanisms. See Note 4 - Rate Matters for additional information.
A $158 million decrease in cash from Change in Other Noncurrent Liabilities primarily due to decreased Accumulated Provisions for Rate Refunds as a result of Tax Reform
A $117 million decrease in cash from Deferred Fuel Over/Under Recovery, Net primarily due to fluctuations APCo and WPCo as a result of the 2018 West Virginia Tax Reform Order, the full recovery of Ohio Phase in recovery rider and the fluctuations of fuel and purchase power cost at PSO.
These decreases in cash were partially offset by:
A $310 million increase in cash from Income from Continuing Operations, after non-cash adjustments. See Results of Operations for further detail.

BUDGETED CAPITAL EXPENDITURES

Management forecasts approximately $32.9 billion of capital expenditures for 2019 to 2023.  Capital expenditures related to North Central Wind Energy Facilities are excluded from these budgeted amounts. The expenditures are generally for transmission, generation, distribution, regulated and contracted renewables, and required environmental investment to comply with the Federal EPA rules.  Estimated capital expenditures are subject to periodic review and modification and may vary based on the ongoing effects of regulatory constraints, environmental regulations, business opportunities, market volatility, economic trends, weather, legal reviews and the ability to access capital.  Management expects to fund these capital expenditures through cash flows from operations and financing activities.  Generally, the Registrant Subsidiaries use cash or short-term borrowings under the money pool to fund these expenditures until long-

term funding is arranged. For complete information of forecasted capital expenditures, see the “Budgeted Capital Expenditures” section of “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in the 2018 Annual Report.

CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATION INFORMATION

A summary of contractual obligations is included in the 2018 Annual Report and has not changed significantly from year-end other than the debt issuances and retirements discussed in the “Cash Flow” section above.

QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Market Risks

The Vertically Integrated Utilities segment is exposed to certain market risks as a major power producer and through transactions in power, coal, natural gas and marketing contracts. These risks include commodity price risks which may be subject to capacity risk, credit risk as well as interest rate risk. These risks represent the risk of loss that may impact this segment due to changes in the underlying market prices or rates.

The Transmission and Distribution Utilities segment is exposed to energy procurement risk and interest rate risk.

The Generation & Marketing segment conducts marketing, risk management and retail activities in ERCOT, PJM, SPP and MISO. This segment is exposed to certain market risks as a marketer of wholesale and retail electricity. These risks include commodity price risks which may be subject to capacity risk, credit risk as well as interest rate risk. These risks represent the risk of loss that may impact this segment due to changes in the underlying market prices or rates. In addition, the Generation & Marketing segment is also exposed to certain market risks as a power producer and through transactions in wholesale electricity, natural gas and marketing contracts.

Management employs risk management contracts including physical forward and financial forward purchase-and-sale contracts.  Management engages in risk management of power, capacity, coal, natural gas and, to a lesser extent, heating oil, gasoline and other commodity contracts to manage the risk associated with the energy business.  As a result, AEP is subject to price risk.  The amount of risk taken is determined by the Commercial Operations, Energy Supply and Finance groups in accordance with established risk management policies as approved by the Finance Committee of the Board of Directors.  AEPSC’s market risk oversight staff independently monitors risk policies, procedures and risk levels and provides members of the Commercial Operations Risk Committee (Regulated Risk Committee) and the Energy Supply Risk Committee (Competitive Risk Committee) various reports regarding compliance with policies, limits and procedures.  The Regulated Risk Committee consists of AEPSC’s Chief Financial Officer, Executive Vice President of Generation, Senior Vice President of Commercial Operations, Senior Vice President of Treasury and Risk and Chief Risk Officer.  The Competitive Risk Committee consists of AEPSC’s Chief Financial Officer, Senior Vice President of Treasury and Risk and Chief Risk Officer in addition to Energy Supply’s President and Vice President. 

40



When commercial activities exceed predetermined limits, positions are modified to reduce the risk to be within the limits unless specifically approved by the respective committee.

(a)
Reflects fair value on primarily long-term structured contracts which are typically with customers that seek fixed pricing to limit their risk against fluctuating energy prices.  The contract prices are valued against market curves associated with the delivery location and delivery term.  A significant portion of the total volumetric position has been economically hedged.
(b)
Market fluctuations are attributable to various factors such as supply/demand, weather, etc.
(c)
Relates to the net gains (losses) of those contracts that are not reflected on the statements of income.  These net gains (losses) are recorded as regulatory liabilities/assets or accounts payable.

See Note 9 – Derivatives and Hedging and Note 10 – Fair Value Measurements for additional information related to risk management contracts.  The following tables and discussion provide information on credit risk and market volatility risk.

Credit Risk

Credit risk is mitigated in wholesale marketing and trading activities by assessing the creditworthiness of potential counterparties before entering into transactions with them and continuing to evaluate their creditworthiness on an ongoing basis. Management uses credit agency ratings and current market-based qualitative and quantitative data as well as financial statements to assess the financial health of counterparties on an ongoing basis.

AEP has risk management contracts (includes non-derivative contracts) with numerous counterparties. Since open risk management contracts are valued based on changes in market prices of the related commodities, exposures change daily. As of September 30, 2019, credit exposure net of collateral to sub investment grade counterparties was approximately 6.4%, expressed in terms of net MTM assets, net receivables and the net open positions for contracts not subject to MTM (representing economic risk even though there may not be risk of accounting loss).

In addition, AEP is exposed to credit risk related to participation in RTOs. For each of the RTOs in which AEP participates, this risk is generally determined based on the proportionate share of member gross activity over a specified period of time.

Value at Risk (VaR) Associated with Risk Management Contracts

Management uses a risk measurement model, which calculates VaR, to measure AEP’s commodity price risk in the risk management portfolio. The VaR is based on the variance-covariance method using historical prices to estimate volatilities and correlations and assumes a 95% confidence level and a one-day holding period. Based on this VaR analysis, as of September 30, 2019, a near term typical change in commodity prices is not expected to materially impact net income, cash flows or financial condition.

Management calculates the VaR for both a trading and non-trading portfolio. The trading portfolio consists primarily of contracts related to energy trading and marketing activities. The non-trading portfolio consists primarily of economic hedges of generation and retail supply activities. The following tables show the end, high, average and low market risk as measured by VaR for the periods indicated:

Management back-tests VaR results against performance due to actual price movements. Based on the assumed 95% confidence interval, the performance due to actual price movements would be expected to exceed the VaR at least once every 20 trading days.


42



As the VaR calculation captures recent price movements, management also performs regular stress testing of the trading portfolio to understand AEP’s exposure to extreme price movements. A historical-based method is employed whereby the current trading portfolio is subjected to actual, observed price movements from the last several years in order to ascertain which historical price movements translated into the largest potential MTM loss. Management then researches the underlying positions, price movements and market events that created the most significant exposure and reports the findings to the Risk Executive Committee, Regulated Risk Committee or Competitive Risk Committee as appropriate.

Interest Rate Risk

AEP is exposed to interest rate market fluctuations in the normal course of business operations. AEP has outstanding short and long-term debt which is subject to a variable rate. AEP manages interest rate risk by limiting variable-rate exposures to a percentage of total debt, by entering into interest rate derivative instruments and by monitoring the effects of market changes in interest rates. For the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, a 100 basis point change in the benchmark rate on AEP’s variable rate debt would impact pretax interest expense annually by $24 million and $25 million, respectively.

2018 KWhs have been revised to reflect the reclassification of certain customer accounts between Retail classes. This reclassification did not impact previously reported Total Retail KWhs. Management concluded that these prior period disclosure only errors were immaterial individually and in the aggregate.

Heating degree days and cooling degree days are metrics commonly used in the utility industry as a measure of the impact of weather on revenues.

The major components of the increase in Gross Margin, defined as revenues less the related direct cost of fuel, including consumption of chemicals were as follows:

Retail Margins increased $13 million primarily due to the following:
An $8 million increase in weather-related usage primarily due to an 11% increase in cooling degree days.
A $4 million increase in weather-normalized margins primarily in the residential class.
Margins from Off-system Sales increased $17 million due to higher affiliated PPA revenues. This increase was partially offset below in Other Operation and Maintenance expenses and in Depreciation and Amortization expenses.
Transmission Revenues increased $24 million primarily due to the recovery of increased transmission investment in ERCOT.
Other Revenues increased $5 million primarily due to securitization revenue related to Transition Funding. This decrease was offset below in Depreciation and Amortization expenses and in Interest Expense.

Expenses and Other and Income Tax Expense (Benefit) changed between years as follows:

Other Operation and Maintenance expenses decreased $7 million primarily due to the following:
A $4 million decrease in expenses associated with Oklaunion Power Station. This decrease was partially offset in Margins from Off-system Sales above and in Depreciation and Amortization expenses below.
A $3 million decrease in ERCOT transmission expenses. This decrease was partially offset in Retail Margins above.

52



Depreciation and Amortization expenses increased $37 million primarily due to the following:
A $16 million increase in depreciation expense due to a change in the useful life of the Oklaunion Power Station. This increase was partially offset in Margins from Off-system Sales above and in Other Operation and Maintenance expenses above.
An $11 million increase in depreciation expense due to an increase in the depreciable base of transmission and distribution assets primarily related to advanced metering systems.
A $7 million increase in securitization amortizations primarily related to Transition Funding. This increase was offset in Other Revenues above and in Interest Expense below.
Taxes Other Than Income Taxes increased $4 million primarily due to increased property taxes as a result of additional investments in transmission and distribution assets and higher tax rates.
Interest Expense decreased $2 million primarily due to the following:
A $5 million decrease due to the deferral of previously recorded interest expense approved for recovery as a result of the Texas Storm Cost Securitization financing order issued by the PUCT in June 2019.
A $3 million decrease in expense related to Transition Funding Securitization assets. This decrease was offset above in Other Revenues and Depreciation and Amortization expenses.
These decreases were partially offset by:
A $2 million increase due to higher long-term debt balances.
Income Tax Expense (Benefit) increased $5 million primarily due to an increase in pretax book income.

The major components of the increase in Gross Margin, defined as revenues less the related direct cost of fuel, including consumption of chemicals were as follows:
  
Retail Margins were unchanged primarily due to the following:
A $7 million decrease in revenues associated with the Transmission Cost Recovery Factor revenue rider. This decrease was partially offset in Other Operation and Maintenance expenses below.
A $5 million decrease in weather-related usage primarily due to a 23% decrease in heating degree days, partially offset by a 3% increase in cooling degree days.
These decreases were offset by:
A $12 million increase in weather-normalized margins primarily in the residential and commercial classes.
Margins from Off-system Sales increased $59 million due to higher affiliated PPA revenues. This increase was partially offset below in Other Operation and Maintenance expenses and in Depreciation and Amortization expenses.
Transmission Revenues increased $62 million primarily due to recovery of increased transmission investment in ERCOT.
   
Expenses and Other and Income Tax Expense (Benefit) changed between years as follows:
 
Other Operation and Maintenance expenses increased $50 million primarily due to the following:
A $64 million increase in expense due to the partial amortization of the Texas Storm Cost Securitization regulatory asset as a result of the Texas Storm Cost Securitization financing order issued by the PUCT in June 2019. This increase was offset in Income Tax Expense (Benefit) below.
These increases were partially offset by:
A $7 million decrease in distribution expenses.
A $7 million decrease in ERCOT transmission expenses. This decrease was partially offset in Retail Margins above.
A $5 million decrease in expenses associated with Oklaunion Power Station. This decrease was partially offset in Margins from Off-system Sales above and in Depreciation and Amortization expenses below.


54



Depreciation and Amortization expenses increased $100 million primarily due to the following:
A $49 million increase in depreciation expense due to a change in the useful life of the Oklaunion Power Station. This increase was offset above in Margins from Off-system Sales and in Other Operation and Maintenance expenses.
A $34 million increase in depreciation expense due to an increase in the depreciable base of transmission and distribution assets primarily related to advanced metering systems.
A $9 million increase in securitization amortizations primarily related to Transition Funding. This increase was offset in Other Revenues above and in Interest Expense below.
A $6 million increase in ARO associated with Oklaunion Power Station.
Taxes Other Than Income Taxes increased $8 million primarily due to an increase in property taxes driven by additional investments in transmission and distribution assets and higher tax rates.
Allowance for Equity Funds Used During Construction decreased $7 million primarily due to a decrease in the Equity component as a result of higher short-term debt balances, partially offset by increased transmission projects.
Interest Expense decreased $16 million primarily due to:
A $21 million decrease due to the deferral of previously recorded interest expense approved for recovery as a result of the Texas Storm Cost Securitization financing order issued by the PUCT in June 2019.
An $8 million decrease in expense related to Transition Funding Securitization assets. This decrease was offset above in Other Revenues and Depreciation and Amortization expenses.
These decreases were partially offset by:
An $11 million increase due to higher long-term debt balances.
Income Tax Expense (Benefit) decreased $65 million primarily due to the amortization of Excess ADIT not subject to normalization requirements as approved in the Texas Storm Cost Securitization financing order issued by the PUCT in June 2019. This decrease was partially offset above in Other Operation and Maintenance expenses.

The major components of the increase in Gross Margin, defined as revenues less the related direct cost of fuel, including consumption of chemicals and emissions allowances, and purchased electricity were as follows:

Retail Margins increased $68 million primarily due to the following:
A $78 million increase due to a 2018 reduction in the deferred fuel under recovery balance as a result of the 2018 West Virginia Tax Reform settlement. This increase was offset in Income Tax Expense (Benefit) below.
A $15 million increase in deferred fuel related to recoverable PJM expenses that were offset below.
An $11 million increase in weather-related usage primarily driven by a 13% increase in cooling degree days.
A $10 million increase due to 2018 Virginia legislation which increased non-recoverable fuel expense in the prior year.
An $8 million increase due to revenue primarily from rate riders in West Virginia. This increase was offset in other expense items below.
A $6 million increase due to a base rate increase in West Virginia implemented in March 2019.
These increases were partially offset by:
A $56 million decrease due to customer refunds related to Tax Reform. This decrease was partially offset in Income Tax Expense (Benefit) below.
A $3 million decrease in weather-normalized margins occurring across all retail classes.
Transmission Revenues increased $13 million primarily due to 2018 provisions for refunds.


72



Expenses and Other and Income Tax Expense (Benefit) changed between years as follows:

Other Operation and Maintenance expenses decreased $27 million primarily due to the following:
A $39 million decrease due to the extinguishment of certain regulatory asset balances as agreed to within the 2018 West Virginia Tax Reform settlement.
A $4 million decrease in maintenance expense at various generation plants.
These decreases were partially offset by:
An $11 million increase in recoverable PJM transmission expenses which were partially offset within Gross Margins above.
A $9 million increase in PJM expenses related to the annual formula rate true-up.
Depreciation and Amortization expenses increased $13 million primarily due to a higher depreciable base and an increase in West Virginia depreciation rates beginning in March 2019.
Taxes Other Than Income Taxes increased $3 million primarily due to an increase in West Virginia business and occupational taxes.
Income Tax Expense (Benefit) increased $75 million primarily due to a one-time recognition of increased amortization of Excess ADIT not subject to normalization requirements as a result of the 2018 West Virginia Tax Reform settlement. This increase was partially offset in Gross Margin and Other Operation and Maintenance expenses above.

74



Expenses and Other and Income Tax Expense (Benefit) changed between years as follows:

Other Operation and Maintenance expenses decreased $14 million primarily due to the following:
A $39 million decrease due to the extinguishment of certain regulatory asset balances as agreed to within the 2018 West Virginia Tax Reform settlement.
A $10 million decrease in expense due to lower current year amortization of certain regulatory assets that were extinguished in August 2018 as agreed to within the 2018 West Virginia Tax Reform settlement.
An $8 million decrease in maintenance expense at various generation plants.
A $5 million decrease in vegetation management expenses.
A $5 million decrease in storm-related expenses.
A $5 million decrease in estimated expenses for claims related to asbestos exposure.
These decreases were partially offset by:
A $42 million increase in PJM expenses primarily related to the annual formula rate true-up.
A $13 million increase due to 2019 contributions to benefit low income West Virginia residential customers as a result of the 2018 West Virginia Tax Reform settlement. This increase was offset in Income Tax Expense (Benefit) below.
A $5 million increase in employee-related expenses.
Depreciation and Amortization expenses increased $29 million primarily due to a higher depreciable base and an increase in West Virginia depreciation rates beginning in March 2019.
Taxes Other Than Income Taxes increased $7 million primarily due to an increase in West Virginia business and occupational taxes.
Interest Expense increased $7 million primarily due to higher long-term debt balances.
Income Tax Expense (Benefit) decreased $12 million primarily due to an increase in amortization of Excess ADIT not subject to normalization requirements and a decrease in pretax book income. This benefit was partially offset by the one-time recognition of increased amortization of Excess ADIT not subject to normalization requirements as a result of the 2018 West Virginia Tax Reform settlement. This decrease was partially offset in Gross Margin and Other Operation and Maintenance expenses above.

The major components of the increase in Gross Margin, defined as revenues less the related direct cost of fuel, including consumption of chemicals and emissions allowances, and purchased electricity were as follows:

Retail Margins increased $18 million primarily due to the following:
A $19 million increase from rate proceedings. This increase was partially offset in other expense items below.
An $8 million increase related to rider revenues, primarily due to the timing of the Indiana PJM/OSS rider recovery. This increase was partially offset in other expense items below.
These increases were partially offset by:
A $6 million decrease in weather-normalized margins across all retail classes.
A $3 million decrease in weather-related usage primarily due to a 5% decrease in cooling degree days.
Other Revenues increased $3 million primarily due to an increase in barging deliveries by River Transportation Division (RTD). The increase in RTD revenue was offset by a corresponding increase in Other Operation and Maintenance expenses for barging activities discussed below.

Expenses and Other and Income Tax Expense (Benefit) changed between years as follows:

Other Operation and Maintenance expenses increased $17 million primarily due to the following:
A $15 million increase in transmission expenses primarily due to a $10 million increase in recoverable PJM expenses and a $6 million increase from the amortization of credits under the 2018 Regional Transmission Enhancement Plan settlement. This increase was partially offset in Retail Margins above.
A $4 million increase in RTD expenses for barging activities. The increase in RTD expenses was offset by a corresponding increase in Other Revenues from barging activities discussed above.
Depreciation and Amortization expenses increased $3 million primarily due to a higher depreciable base. This increase was partially offset in Retail Margins above.
Interest Expense decreased $6 million primarily due to the reissuance of long-term debt at lower interest rates in 2018.
Income Tax Expense (Benefit) decreased $16 million primarily due to increased amortization of Excess ADIT not subject to normalization requirements and a decrease in flow-through tax expense.

The major components of the increase in Gross Margin, defined as revenues less the related direct cost of fuel, including consumption of chemicals and emissions allowances, and purchased electricity were as follows:

Retail Margins increased $90 million primarily due to the following:
A $94 million increase from rate proceedings, inclusive of a $30 million decrease due to the impact of Tax Reform. This increase was partially offset in other expense items below.
A $21 million increase related to rider revenues, primarily due to the timing of the Indiana PJM/OSS rider recovery. This increase was partially offset in other expense items below.
A $6 million decrease in fuel-related expenses due to timing of recovery for fuel and other variable production costs related to wholesale contracts.
These increases were partially offset by:
A $19 million decrease in weather-related usage primarily due to a 15% decrease in cooling degree days and a 3% decrease in heating degree days.
A $16 million decrease in weather-normalized margins across all retail classes.
Margins from Off-system Sales decreased $9 million primarily due to mid-year 2018 changes in the OSS sharing mechanism.
Transmission Revenues decreased $12 million primarily due to the 2018 PJM Transmission formula rate true-up.
Other Revenues increased $4 million primarily due to an increase in barging deliveries by RTD. The increase in RTD revenue was offset by a corresponding increase in Other Operation and Maintenance expenses for barging activities discussed below.


85



Expenses and Other and Income Tax Expense (Benefit) changed between years as follows:

Other Operation and Maintenance expenses increased $37 million primarily due to the following:
A $32 million increase in transmission expenses primarily due to a $44 million increase in recoverable PJM expenses, partially offset by an $11 million decrease from the amortization of credits under the 2018 Regional Transmission Enhancement Plan settlement. This increase was partially offset in Retail Margins above.
A $6 million increase in RTD expenses for barging activities. The increase in RTD expenses was offset by a corresponding increase in Other Revenues from barging activities discussed above.
A $5 million increase in distribution costs primarily due to vegetation management expenses.
These increases were partially offset by:
A $9 million decrease in generation expenses at Cook Plant primarily due to decreased incremental refueling outage costs.
Depreciation and Amortization expenses increased $55 million primarily due to increased depreciation rates approved in 2018 and a higher depreciable base. This increase was partially offset in Retail Margins above.
Taxes Other Than Income Taxes increased $6 million due to property taxes driven by an increase in utility plant.
Interest Expense decreased $10 million primarily due to the reissuance of long-term debt at lower interest rates in 2018.
Income Tax Expense (Benefit) decreased $32 million primarily due to increased amortization of Excess ADIT not subject to normalization requirements and a decrease in flow-through tax expense.

The major components of the decrease in Gross Margin, defined as revenues less the related direct cost of purchased electricity and amortization of generation deferrals were as follows:

Retail Margins decreased $3 million primarily due to the following:
A $28 million net decrease in Basic Transmission Cost Rider revenues and recoverable PJM expenses. This decrease was partially offset in Other Operation and Maintenance expenses below.
A $13 million decrease in Deferred Asset Phase-In-Recovery Rider revenues which ended in the second quarter of 2019. This decrease was offset in Depreciation and Amortization expenses below.
An $8 million net decrease in margin for the Rate Stability Rider including associated amortizations which ended in the third quarter of 2019.
A $6 million decrease in revenues associated with a vegetation management rider. This decrease was offset in Other Operation and Maintenance expenses below.

(a)
Includes firm wholesale sales to municipals and cooperatives.

The major components of the increase in Gross Margin, defined as revenues less the related direct cost of fuel, including consumption of chemicals and emissions allowances, and purchased electricity were as follows:

Retail Margins increased $22 million primarily due to the following:
A $14 million increase due to new base rates implemented in April 2019.
A $9 million increase in weather-related usage due to an 11% increase in cooling degree days.
A $5 million increase in weather-normalized margins.
These increases were partially offset by:
A $7 million decrease due to customer refunds related to Tax Reform. This decrease was partially offset in Income Tax Expense below.
Transmission Revenues decreased $4 million primarily due to a decrease in SPP Base Plan Funding revenues.

Expenses and Other and Income Tax Expense changed between years as follows:

Other Operation and Maintenance expenses decreased $20 million primarily due the following:
A $9 million decrease in transmission expenses primarily due to decreased SPP transmission services.
A $5 million decrease in Energy Efficiency program costs due to a change in amortizations of costs approved by the OCC. This decrease was offset in Retail Margins above.
A $3 million decrease due to Wind Catcher Project expenses incurred in 2018.
Depreciation and Amortization expenses decreased $3 million primarily due to the refund of Excess ADIT.
Income Tax Expense increased $3 million primarily due to an increase in pretax book income partially offset by an increase in amortization of Excess ADIT. The amortization of Excess ADIT was partially offset in Gross Margin above.

(a)
Includes firm wholesale sales to municipals and cooperatives.

The major components of the increase in Gross Margin, defined as revenues less the related direct cost of fuel, including consumption of chemicals and emissions allowances, and purchased electricity were as follows:

Retail Margins increased $11 million primarily due to the following:
A $6 million increase in weather-normalized margins.
A $5 million increase in weather-related usage primarily due to a 7% increase in cooling degree days.
Transmission Revenues decreased $5 million primarily due to a decrease in SPP Base Plan Funding revenues and a decrease in nonaffiliated transmission services.

Expenses and Other and Income Tax Expense (Benefit) changed between years as follows:

Other Operation and Maintenance expenses decreased $5 million primarily due to Wind Catcher Project expenses incurred in 2018.
Depreciation and Amortization expenses increased $3 million primarily due to a higher depreciable base.
Interest Expense decreased $4 million primarily due to lower interest rates on outstanding long-term debt.
Income Tax Expense (Benefit) decreased $10 million primarily due to an increase in amortization of Excess ADIT not subject to normalization requirements. This decrease was partially offset in Gross Margin above.

(a)
Includes firm wholesale sales to municipals and cooperatives.

The major components of the decrease in Gross Margin, defined as revenues less the related direct cost of fuel, including consumption of chemicals and emissions allowances, and purchased electricity were as follows:

Retail Margins decreased $18 million primarily due to the following:
A $14 million decrease in weather-related usage primarily due to a 6% decrease in cooling degree days and a 7% decrease in heating degree days.
A $10 million decrease in weather-normalized margins.
These decreases were partially offset by:
A $7 million increase primarily due to rider and base rate revenue increases in Louisiana. This increase was offset in other expense items below.
Transmission Revenues decreased $36 million primarily due to the following:
A $40 million decrease in the annual SPP formula rate true-up.
A $7 million decrease primarily due to a reduction in SPP Base Plan Funding revenues.
These decreases were partially offset by:
An $11 million increase due to a provision for refund recorded in 2018 related to certain transmission assets that management believes should not have been included in the SPP formula rate.






118



Expenses and Other and Income Tax Expense (Benefit) changed between years as follows:

Other Operation and Maintenance expenses decreased $48 million primarily due to the following:
A $28 million decrease due to Wind Catcher Project expenses incurred in 2018.
A $24 million decrease in affiliated SPP transmission expenses primarily due to the annual formula rate true-up.
These decreases were partially offset by:
A $7 million increase in overhead line expenses primarily related to storm restoration.
Depreciation and Amortization expenses increased $11 million primarily due to higher depreciation rates implemented in the third quarter of 2018 and a higher depreciable base.
Interest Expense decreased $6 million primarily due to lower interest rates on outstanding long-term debt.
Income Tax Expense (Benefit) decreased $18 million primarily due to an increase in amortization of Excess ADIT not subject to normalization requirements and a decrease in pretax book income. This decrease was partially offset in Gross Margin above.

1.   i SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING MATTERS

The disclosures in this note apply to all Registrants unless indicated otherwise.

 i 
General

The unaudited condensed financial statements and footnotes were prepared in accordance with GAAP for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X of the SEC.  Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete annual financial statements.

In the opinion of management, the unaudited condensed interim financial statements reflect all normal and recurring accruals and adjustments necessary for a fair statement of the net income, financial position and cash flows for the interim periods for each Registrant.  Net income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 is not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2019.  The condensed financial statements are unaudited and should be read in conjunction with the audited 2018 financial statements and notes thereto, which are included in the Registrants’ Annual Reports on Form 10-K as filed with the SEC on February 21, 2019.

 i 
Earnings Per Share (EPS) (Applies to AEP)

Basic EPS is calculated by dividing net earnings available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period.  Diluted EPS is calculated by adjusting the weighted average outstanding common shares, assuming conversion of all potentially dilutive stock awards.

The following tables present AEP’s basic and diluted EPS calculations included on the statements of income:

Equity Units issued in March 2019 are potentially dilutive securities but were excluded from the calculation of diluted EPS for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, as the dilutive stock price threshold was not met. See Note 13 - Financing Activities for more information related to Equity Units.

There were no antidilutive shares outstanding as of September 30, 2019 and 2018.

2. NEW  i ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

The disclosures in this note apply to all Registrants unless indicated otherwise.

During the FASB’s standard-setting process and upon issuance of final standards, management reviews the new accounting literature to determine its relevance, if any, to the Registrants’ business. The following standards will impact the financial statements.

ASU 2016-02 “Accounting for Leases” (ASU 2016-02)

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02 increasing the transparency and comparability among organizations by recognizing lease assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheets and disclosing key information about leasing arrangements. Under the new standard, an entity must recognize an asset and liability for operating leases on the balance sheets. Additionally, capital leases are known as finance leases going forward. Leases with terms of 12 months or longer are also subject to the new requirements. Fundamentally, the criteria used to determine lease classification remains the same, but is more subjective under the new standard.

New leasing standard implementation activities included the identification of the lease population within the AEP System as well as the sampling of representative lease contracts to analyze accounting treatment under the new accounting guidance. Based upon the completed assessments, management also prepared a gap analysis to outline new disclosure compliance requirements.

Management adopted ASU 2016-02 effective January 1, 2019 by means of a cumulative-effect adjustment to the balance sheets. Management elected the following practical expedients upon adoption:
Practical Expedient
 
Description
Overall Expedients (for leases commenced prior to adoption date and must be adopted as a package)
 
Do not need to reassess whether any expired or existing contracts are/or contain leases, do not need to reassess the lease classification for any expired or existing leases and do not need to reassess initial direct costs for any existing leases.
Lease and Non-lease Components (elect by class of underlying asset)
 
Elect as an accounting policy to not separate non-lease components from lease components and instead account for each lease and associated non-lease component as a single lease component.
Short-term Lease (elect by class of underlying asset)
 
Elect as an accounting policy to not apply the recognition requirements to short-term leases.
Existing and expired land easements not previously accounted for as leases
 
Elect optional transition practical expedient to not evaluate under Topic 842 existing or expired land easements that were not previously accounted for as leases under the current leases guidance in Topic 840.
Cumulative-effect adjustment in the period of adoption
 
Elect the optional transition practical expedient to adopt the new lease requirements through a cumulative-effect adjustment on the balance sheet in the period of adoption.

Management concluded that the result of adoption would not materially change the volume of contracts that qualify as leases going forward. The adoption of the new standard did not materially impact results of operations or cash flows, but did have a material impact on the balance sheets. See Note 12 - Leases for additional disclosures required by the new standard.

ASU 2016-13 “Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments” (ASU 2016-13)

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13 requiring the recognition of an allowance for expected credit losses for financial instruments within its scope. Examples of financial instruments that are in scope include trade receivables, certain financial guarantees, and held-to-maturity debt securities. The allowance for expected credit losses should be based on historical information, current conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts. The new standard also revises the other-than-temporary impairment model for available-for-sale debt securities.


129



The new accounting guidance is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2019, with early adoption permitted for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018. The amendments will be applied through a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings as of the beginning of the first reporting period in which the guidance is effective.

Management continues to analyze the impact of this new standard. Implementation activities to date include the identification of the population of financial instruments within the AEP system that are subject to the new standard and evaluations to determine whether the new expected loss recognition model will cause any material changes to previously calculated allowance balances and supporting valuation models. Based on the assessments performed to date, Management does not expect the new standard to have a material impact on results of operations, financial position or cash flows.

Management’s implementation activities, including an assessment of the new standard’s disclosure requirements will continue throughout the fourth quarter of 2019. Management will continue to analyze the related impacts to allowances for credit losses and monitor for any potential industry implementation issues. Additionally, Management does not anticipate any significant changes to current accounting systems because of the adoption of the new standard. Management plans to adopt ASU 2016-13 and its related implementation guidance effective January 1, 2020.

If these costs are ultimately determined not to be recoverable, it could reduce future net income and cash flows and impact financial condition.

AEP Texas Rate Matters (Applies to AEP and AEP Texas)

AEP Texas Interim Transmission and Distribution Rates

As of September 30, 2019, AEP Texas’ cumulative revenues from interim transmission and distribution rate increases from 2008 through 2019, subject to review, are estimated to be $1.3 billion. The 2019 base rate case described below could result in a refund to customers if AEP Texas incurs a disallowance of the transmission or distribution investment on which an interim increase was based. Management is unable to determine a range of potential losses, if any, that are reasonably possible of occurring. A revenue decrease, including a refund of interim transmission and distribution rates, could reduce future net income and cash flows and impact financial condition.

2019 Texas Base Rate Case

In May 2019, AEP Texas filed a request with the PUCT for a $56 million annual increase in rates based upon a proposed 10.5% return on common equity. The filing includes a proposed Income Tax Refund Rider that will refund $21 million annually of Excess ADIT that is primarily not subject to rate normalization requirements. The rate case also seeks a prudence determination on all capital additions included in interim rates from 2008.

In July and August 2019, PUCT staff and various intervenors filed testimony. The PUCT staff recommended a $63 million annual rate reduction based on a 9.35% return on common equity while intervenors recommended annual rate reductions of up to $159 million based on a return on common equity ranging from 9% to 9.2%. The difference between AEP Texas’ requested annual base rate increase and the PUCT staff’s and various intervenor’s recommendations are primarily due to: (a) recommended capital structure of 60% debt and 40% common equity as compared to the 55% debt and 45% common equity requested by AEP Texas, (b) a reduction in the requested return on common equity and (c) various disallowances that could potentially result in write-offs exceeding $450 million. The PUCT staff's recommended disallowances primarily consisted of $85 million in capital incentives and $26 million for capitalized vegetation management expenses. The intervenors recommended disallowances primarily consisted of (a) $173 million

141



for a newly constructed transmission operations center and other service centers, (b) $94 million for Hurricane Harvey costs, (c) $36 million for capitalized cross arms and (d) $21 million for capitalized plant costs related to unreimbursed damages to assets caused by third-parties. In addition, one intervenor recommended AEP Texas refund $115 million of Excess ADIT, which includes $2 million in interest, related to previously owned deregulated generation assets. AEP Texas recorded $113 million as a favorable adjustment to income tax expense in 2017 as a result of Tax Reform. Hearings were held in August 2019 and briefs were filed in September 2019. AEP Texas is expecting a Proposal for Decision from the ALJ in the fourth quarter of 2019. The PUCT is expected to issue an order on the case by the first quarter of 2020. If any of these costs are not recoverable or refunds of revenues collected under interim transmission and distribution rates are ordered to be returned to customers, it could reduce future net income and cash flows and impact financial condition.

Texas Storm Cost Securitization

In August 2017, Hurricane Harvey hit the coast of Texas, causing power outages in the AEP Texas service territory. In March 2019, AEP Texas filed a request to securitize total estimated distribution-related system restoration costs with the PUCT, which included estimated carrying costs. In June 2019, the PUCT approved the financing order. As part of the financing order, AEP Texas agreed to offset $64 million of Excess ADIT that is not subject to rate normalization requirements against the total distribution-related system restoration costs. In September 2019, AEP Texas issued $235 million of securitization bonds. The securitization bonds included carrying costs of $33 million, which includes $21 million of debt carrying costs recorded as a reduction to Interest Expense in 2019.

The remaining $95 million of estimated net transmission-related system restoration costs, including carrying charges, is expected to be recovered in the 2019 Texas Base Rate Case described above or through interim transmission base rate increases. If these costs are not recovered, it could have an adverse effect on future net income, cash flows and financial condition.

APCo and WPCo Rate Matters (Applies to AEP and APCo)

Virginia Legislation Affecting Earnings Reviews

Under a 2015 amended Virginia law, APCo’s existing generation and distribution base rates were frozen until after the Virginia SCC ruled on APCo’s next biennial review. The 2015 amendments also precluded the Virginia SCC from performing biennial reviews of APCo’s earnings for the years 2014 through 2017.

New Virginia legislation impacting investor-owned utilities was enacted, effective July 1, 2018, that requires APCo to file its next generation and distribution base rate case by March 31, 2020 using 2017, 2018 and 2019 earnings test years (triennial review). Triennial reviews are subject to an earnings test which provides that  i 70% of any earnings exceeding 70 basis points over the Virginia SCC authorized return on common equity would be refunded to customers or be used to lower APCo’s Virginia retail base rates on a prospective basis. The Virginia legislation also states that, under certain circumstances, costs associated with asset impairments related to early retirement determinations made by a utility for generation facilities fueled by coal, natural gas or oil or for automated meters be considered fully recovered in the period recorded.

In November 2018, the Virginia SCC approved a return on common equity of  i 9.42% applicable to APCo base rate earnings for the 2017-2019 triennial period and rate adjustment clauses from November 2018 through November 2020. Management has reviewed APCo’s actual and forecasted earnings for the triennial period and concluded that it is not probable, but is reasonably possible, that APCo will over-earn in Virginia during the 2017-2019 triennial period. Due to various uncertainties, including weather, storm restoration, weather-normalized demand and potential customer shopping during 2019, management cannot estimate a range of potential APCo Virginia over-earnings during the 2017-2019 triennial period. If the Virginia triennial review of APCo earnings results in any disallowance, it could reduce future net income and cash flows and impact financial condition.


142



Virginia Staff Depreciation Study Request

In November 2018, Virginia staff recommended that APCo implement new Virginia jurisdictional depreciation rates effective January 1, 2018 based on APCo’s depreciation study that was prepared at Virginia staff’s request using December 31, 2017 APCo property balances. Implementation of those depreciation rates would result in a $ i 21 million pretax increase in annual depreciation expense ($ i 6 million related to transmission) with no corresponding increase in retail base rates. In December 2018, APCo submitted a response to the Virginia staff stating that it was inappropriate for APCo to change Virginia depreciation rates in advance of the Virginia SCC’s upcoming Triennial Review of APCo, citing the Virginia SCC’s November 2014 order to not change APCo’s Virginia depreciation rates until APCo’s next base rate case/review. If the Virginia SCC were to issue an order approving the Virginia staff’s recommended retroactive change in APCo’s Virginia depreciation rates, it would reduce future net income and cash flows and impact financial condition.

Virginia Tax Reform

In March 2019, the Virginia SCC issued an order to reduce APCo’s base rates to refund: (a) $ i 40 million annually for ongoing annual tax savings, (b) $ i 9 million annually of Excess ADIT associated with certain depreciable property using ARAM, (c) $ i 94 million of Excess ADIT that is not subject to rate normalization requirements over three years and (d) a one-time credit of $ i 22 million for estimated excess taxes collected from customers during the 15-month period ending March 31, 2019.

2018 West Virginia Base Rate Case

In May 2018, APCo and WPCo filed a joint request with the WVPSC to increase their combined West Virginia base rates by $ i 115 million ($ i 98 million related to APCo) annually based on a  i 10.22% return on common equity. The proposed annual increase included $ i 32 million ($ i 28 million related to APCo) due to increased annual depreciation expense and reflected the impact of the reduction in the federal income tax rate due to Tax Reform. In October 2018, APCo and WPCo filed updated schedules supporting a $ i 95 million ($ i 80 million related to APCo) annual increase in West Virginia base rates primarily due to the impact of West Virginia Tax Reform.

In February 2019, the WVPSC issued an order approving a Stipulation and Settlement agreement between APCo, WPCo, WVPSC staff and certain intervenors. The agreement included an annual base rate increase of $ i 44 million ($ i 36 million related to APCo) based upon a  i 9.75% return on common equity effective March 2019. The agreement also included: (a) $ i 18 million ($ i 14 million related to APCo) of increased annual depreciation expense, (b) a $ i 24 million refund ($ i 19 million related to APCo) over two years, through a rider beginning March 2019, of Excess ADIT that is not subject to rate normalization requirements, (c) the utilization of $ i 14 million ($ i 12 million related to APCo) of Excess ADIT that is not subject to rate normalization requirements to offset regulatory asset balances relating to ENEC, (d) an agreement to seek WVPSC approval of economic incentive programs to provide funds to aid in industrial and commercial development and (e) an agreement, barring any unforeseen events, to not initiate another base rate proceeding prior to April 1, 2020.

ETT Rate Matters (Applies to AEP)

ETT Interim Transmission Rates

AEP has a 50% equity ownership interest in ETT. Predominantly all of ETT’s revenues are based on interim rate changes that can be filed twice annually and are subject to review and possible true-up in the next filed base rate proceeding. Through September 30, 2019, AEP’s share of ETT’s cumulative revenues that are subject to review is estimated to be $987 million. A base rate review could produce a refund if ETT incurs a disallowance of the transmission investment on which an interim increase was based. A revenue decrease, including a refund of interim transmission rates, could reduce future net income and cash flows and impact financial condition. Management is unable to determine a range of potential losses, if any, that are reasonably possible of occurring.


143



In 2018, the PUCT adopted a rule requiring investor-owned utilities operating solely inside ERCOT to make periodic filings for rate proceedings. The rule requires ETT to file for a comprehensive rate review no later than February 1, 2021.

I&M Rate Matters (Applies to AEP and I&M)

Michigan Tax Reform

In October 2018, I&M made a filing with the MPSC recommending to: (a) refund approximately $ i 68 million of Excess ADIT associated with certain depreciable property using ARAM and (b) refund approximately $ i 37 million of Excess ADIT that is not subject to rate normalization requirements over ten years. In September 2019, an ALJ issued a Proposal for Decision and various intervenors filed objections which included changing the refund period from ten years to seven years. In October 2019, I&M filed responses to the various intervenor objections. An order from the MPSC regarding Excess ADIT is expected in the fourth quarter of 2019.

2019 Indiana Base Rate Case

In May 2019, I&M filed a request with the IURC for a $172 million annual increase. The requested increase in Indiana rates would be phased in through January 2021 and is based upon a proposed 10.5% return on common equity.  The proposed annual increase includes $78 million related to a proposed annual increase in depreciation expense. The requested annual increase in depreciation expense includes $52 million related to proposed investments and $26 million related to increased depreciation rates. The request includes the continuation of all existing riders and a new Automated Metering Infrastructure rider for proposed meter projects.

In August 2019, various intervenors filed testimony that recommended annual rate increases ranging from $2 million to $33 million based upon a return on common equity ranging from 9% to 9.73%. The difference between I&M’s requested annual base rate increase and the intervenor’s recommendations are primarily due to: (a) proposed denial of return on and of certain new plant investments, (b) proposed lower depreciation rates, (c) a reduction in the requested return on common equity and (d) exclusion of I&M’s proposed re-allocation of capacity costs related to I&M’s June 2020 loss of a significant FERC wholesale contract. In addition, certain parties recommended disallowances that could potentially result in write-offs of $41 million related to the remaining book value of existing Indiana jurisdictional meters and $11 million associated with certain Cook Plant study costs.

In September 2019, I&M filed testimony rebutting the various parties’ recommendations. A hearing at the IURC began in October 2019. The IURC is expected to issue an order on the case by the first quarter of 2020. If any of these costs are not recoverable, it could reduce future net income and cash flows and impact financial condition.

2019 Michigan Base Rate Case

In June 2019, I&M filed a request with the MPSC for a $58 million annual increase. The requested increase in Michigan rates would be phased in through June 2020 and is based upon a proposed 10.5% return on common equity.  The proposed annual increase includes $19 million related to a proposed annual increase in depreciation expense. The requested annual increase in depreciation expense includes $13 million related to proposed investments and $6 million related to increased depreciation rates. The proposed annual increase also includes $10 million for annual lost revenue related to the Michigan Electric Customer Choice Program that began in 2019.

In October 2019, MPSC staff and various intervenors filed testimony. The MPSC staff recommended a $38 million annual rate increase based upon a 9.75% return on common equity while intervenors recommended annual rate increases of up to $28 million based on a return on common equity ranging from 9.1% to 9.25%. If any of these costs are not recoverable, it could reduce future net income and cash flows and impact financial condition.


144



OPCo Rate Matters (Applies to AEP and OPCo)

Ohio ESP Filings

ESP Extension through 2024

In 2016, OPCo refiled its amended ESP extension application and supporting testimony, consistent with the terms of the modified and approved stipulation agreement and based upon a 2016 PUCO order. The amended filing proposed to extend the ESP through May 2024.

In April 2018, the PUCO issued an order approving the ESP extension stipulation agreement, with no significant changes. In October 2018, an intervenor filed an appeal with the Ohio Supreme Court challenging various approved riders. In October 2019, oral arguments were held in the Ohio Supreme Court. If the Ohio Supreme Court reverses the PUCO’s decision, it could reduce future net income and cash flows and impact financial condition.

OPCo’s Enhanced Service Reliability Rider (ESRR) authorized under the ESP is subject to annual audits.  In May 2018, the PUCO staff filed comments indicating that 2016 spending under the ESRR was subject to authorized limits and that OPCo overspent those limits.  OPCo filed reply comments objecting to the PUCO staff’s position, including the method of calculating the overspent amount.  In March 2019, the PUCO staff filed additional comments which adjusted the method of the calculation but maintained that OPCo overspent the authorized limit in 2016 and 2017, which could result in a refund of $ i 10 million. Management believes that both 2016 and 2017 ESRR spending is not subject to an authorized limit and that a spending limit was not established until 2018, as part of the ESP extension. A hearing was held in May 2019 to address the 2016 audit. Post-hearing briefs in this case were filed in June 2019 and reply briefs were filed in July 2019. If it is determined OPCo did have an authorized spending limit under the ESRR in 2016 and 2017, and refunds are ordered, it would reduce future net income and cash flows and impact financial condition.

2016 SEET Filing

Ohio law provides for the return of significantly excessive earnings to ratepayers upon PUCO review. Significantly excessive earnings are measured by whether the earned return on common equity of the electric utility is significantly in excess of the return on common equity that was earned during the same period by publicly traded companies, including utilities, that face comparable business and financial risk.

In 2016, OPCo recorded a 2016 SEET provision of $ i 58 million based upon projected earnings data for companies in the comparable utilities risk group. In determining OPCo’s return on equity in relation to the comparable utilities risk group, management excluded the following items resolved in OPCo’s Global Settlement that was filed at the PUCO in December 2016 and subsequently approved in February 2017: (a) gain on the deferral of RSR costs, (b) refunds to customers related to the SEET remands and (c) refunds to customers related to fuel adjustment clause proceedings.

In February 2019, the PUCO issued an order that OPCo did not have significantly excessive earnings in 2016. As a result of the order, OPCo reversed the $58 million provision in the first quarter of 2019.
 
PSO Rate Matters (Applies to AEP and PSO)

2018 Oklahoma Base Rate Case

In 2018, PSO filed a request with the OCC for an $88 million annual increase in Oklahoma retail rates based upon a 10.3% return on common equity. PSO also proposed to implement a performance-based rate plan that combines a formula rate with a set of customer-focused performance incentive measures related to reliability, public safety, customer satisfaction and economic development. The proposed annual increase included $13 million related to increased annual depreciation rates and $7 million related to increased storm expense amortization. The requested increase in annual depreciation rates included the recovery of Oklaunion Power Station through 2028 (currently being recovered in rates through 2046).  Management has announced plans to retire Oklaunion Power Station by October 2020.

145




In March 2019, the OCC issued an order approving a Stipulation and Settlement agreement for a $46 million annual increase, based on a 9.4% return on equity effective with the first billing cycle of April 2019. The order also included agreements between the parties that: (a) depreciation rates will remain unchanged, (b) PSO will file a new base rate request no earlier than October 2020 and no later than October 2021 and (c) PSO will refund Excess ADIT that is not subject to rate normalization requirements over five years instead of the ten years ordered in the Oklahoma Tax Reform case. The order did not approve the performance-based rate plan but instead provided for an expansion of the SPP Transmission Tariff that tracks previously untracked SPP costs and a new Distribution Reliability and Safety Rider that provides additional revenues capped at $5 million per year for distribution projects related to safety and reliability that are not normal distribution replacements.

SWEPCo Rate Matters (Applies to AEP and SWEPCo)

2012 Texas Base Rate Case

In 2012, SWEPCo filed a request with the PUCT to increase annual base rates primarily due to the completion of the Turk Plant. In 2013, the PUCT issued an order affirming the prudence of the Turk Plant but determined that the Turk Plant’s Texas jurisdictional capital cost cap established in a previous Certificate of Convenience and Necessity case also limited SWEPCo’s recovery of AFUDC in addition to limits on its recovery of cash construction costs.

Upon rehearing in 2014, the PUCT reversed its initial ruling and determined that AFUDC was excluded from the Turk Plant’s Texas jurisdictional capital cost cap. As a result, SWEPCo reversed $114 million of a previously recorded regulatory disallowance in 2013. The resulting annual base rate increase was approximately $52 million. In 2017, the Texas District Court upheld the PUCT’s 2014 order and intervenors filed appeals with the Texas Third Court of Appeals.

In July 2018, the Texas Third Court of Appeals reversed the PUCT’s judgment affirming the prudence of the Turk Plant and remanded the issue back to the PUCT. In August 2018, SWEPCo filed a Motion for Reconsideration at the Court of Appeals, which was denied. In January 2019, SWEPCo and the PUCT filed petitions for review with the Texas Supreme Court. In May 2019, various intervenors filed replies to the petition. In July 2019, SWEPCo filed its response to these replies. The Texas Supreme Court has requested full briefing by the parties. SWEPCo’s initial brief is due in October 2019. Response briefs are due in November 2019 and SWEPCo’s reply brief is due in December 2019.

As of September 30, 2019, the net book value of Turk Plant was $1.5 billion, before cost of removal, including materials and supplies inventory and CWIP. If certain parts of the PUCT order are overturned and if SWEPCo cannot ultimately fully recover its approximate 33% Texas jurisdictional share of the Turk Plant investment, including AFUDC, it could reduce future net income and cash flows and impact financial condition.

2016 Texas Base Rate Case

In 2016, SWEPCo filed a request with the PUCT for a net increase in Texas annual revenues of $69 million based upon a 10% return on common equity. In January 2018, the PUCT issued a final order approving a net increase in Texas annual revenues of $50 million based upon a return on common equity of 9.6%, effective May 2017. The final order also included: (a) approval to recover the Texas jurisdictional share of environmental investments placed in- service, as of June 30, 2016, at various plants, including Welsh Plant, Units 1 and 3, (b) approval of recovery of, but no return on, the Texas jurisdictional share of the net book value of Welsh Plant, Unit 2, (c) approval of $2 million in additional vegetation management expenses and (d) the rejection of SWEPCo’s proposed transmission cost recovery mechanism.

As a result of the final order, in 2017 SWEPCo: (a) recorded an impairment charge of $19 million, which included $7 million associated with the lack of return on Welsh Plant, Unit 2 and $12 million related to other disallowed plant investments, (b) recognized $32 million of additional revenues, for the period of May 2017 through December 2017,

146



that was surcharged to customers in 2018 and (c) recognized an additional $7 million of expenses consisting primarily of depreciation expense and vegetation management expense, offset by the deferral of rate case expense. SWEPCo implemented new rates in February 2018 billings. The $32 million of additional 2017 revenues was collected during 2018. In March 2018, the PUCT clarified and corrected portions of the final order, without changing the overall decision or amounts of the rate change. The order has been appealed by various intervenors. If certain parts of the PUCT order are overturned, it could reduce future net income and cash flows and impact financial condition.

2018 Louisiana Formula Rate Filing

In April 2018, SWEPCo filed its formula rate plan for test year 2017 with the LPSC.  The filing included a net $28 million annual increase, which was effective August 2018 and included SWEPCo’s Louisiana jurisdictional share of Welsh Plant and Flint Creek Plant environmental controls. The filing also included a reduction in the federal income tax rate due to Tax Reform but did not address the return of Excess ADIT benefits to customers.

In July 2018, SWEPCo made a supplemental filing to its formula rate plan with the LPSC to reduce the requested annual increase to $18 million. The difference between SWEPCo’s requested $28 million annual increase and the $18 million annual increase in the supplemental filing is primarily the result of the return of Excess ADIT benefits to customers.

In October 2018, the LPSC staff issued a recommendation that SWEPCo refund $11 million of excess federal income taxes collected, as a result of Tax Reform, from January 1, 2018 through July 31, 2018. In June 2019, the LPSC staff issued its report which reaffirmed its $11 million refund recommendation. The report also contends that SWEPCo’s requested annual rate increase of $18 million, which was implemented in August 2018, is overstated by $4 million and proposes an annual rate increase of $14 million. Additionally, the report recommends SWEPCo refund the excess over-collections associated with the $4 million difference for the period of August 2018 through the implementation of new rates. In July 2019, the LPSC approved the $11 million refund. A decision by the LPSC on the remaining issues is expected in the fourth quarter of 2019.

If any of these costs are not recoverable, it could reduce future net income and cash flows and impact financial condition.

Welsh Plant - Environmental Impact

Management currently estimates that the investment necessary to meet proposed environmental regulations through 2025 for Welsh Plant, Units 1 and 3 could total approximately $550 million, excluding AFUDC. As of September 30, 2019, SWEPCo had incurred costs of $399 million, including AFUDC, related to these projects.  Management continues to evaluate the impact of environmental rules and related project cost estimates. As of September 30, 2019, the total net book value of Welsh Plant, Units 1 and 3 was $612 million, before cost of removal, including materials and supplies inventory and CWIP. 

In 2016, as approved by the APSC, SWEPCo began recovering $79 million related to the Arkansas jurisdictional share of these environmental costs, subject to prudence review in the next Arkansas filed base rate proceeding. In 2017, the LPSC approved recovery of $131 million in investments related to its Louisiana jurisdictional share of environmental controls installed at Welsh Plant. SWEPCo’s approved Louisiana jurisdictional share of Welsh Plant deferrals: (a) are $10 million, excluding $5 million of unrecognized equity as of September 30, 2019, (b) is subject to review by the LPSC and (c) includes a weighted average cost of capital return on environmental investments and the related depreciation expense and taxes. See “2018 Louisiana Formula Rate Filing” and “2019 Arkansas Base Rate Case” disclosures for additional information.

If any of these costs are not recoverable, it could reduce future net income and cash flows and impact financial condition.

2019 Arkansas Base Rate Case

In February 2019, SWEPCo filed a request with the APSC for a $75 million increase in Arkansas base rates based upon a proposed 10.5% return on common equity. The filing requests rate base treatment for the Stall Plant and environmental retrofits that are currently being recovered through riders. Eliminating these riders would result in a net annual requested base rate increase of $58 million. The proposed net annual increase includes $12 million related to vegetation management to improve the reliability of its Arkansas distribution system. The filing also provides notice of SWEPCo’s proposal to have its rates regulated under the formula rate review mechanism authorized by Arkansas law, including a Formula Rate Review Rider. In October 2019, SWEPCo reduced its requested base rate increase from $75 million to $67 million.

In October 2019, SWEPCo, the APSC staff and various intervenors filed a unanimous stipulation and settlement agreement with the APSC.  The agreement includes a proposed annual base rate increase of $53 million ($24 million net of amounts currently recovered through riders) based upon a 9.45% return on common equity and includes $6 million for increased annual depreciation expense.  The agreement provides recovery for: (a) the Stall Plant, (b) environmental retrofit projects and (c) the remaining net book value, with a debt return for investors, of Welsh Unit 2. The agreement also includes a proposal to have its rates regulated under the formula rate mechanism authorized by Arkansas law, including a Formula Rate Review Rider. Also in October 2019, a settlement hearing with the APSC was held. SWEPCo expects the APSC to issue an order in the fourth quarter of 2019. If any of these costs are not recoverable, or disallowances were to occur, it could reduce future net income and cash flows and impact financial condition.

FERC Rate Matters

FERC Transmission Complaint - AEP’s PJM Participants (Applies to AEP, AEPTCo, APCo, I&M and OPCo)

In 2016, seven parties filed a complaint at the FERC that alleged the base return on common equity used by AEP’s transmission owning subsidiaries within PJM in calculating formula transmission rates under the PJM OATT is excessive and should be reduced from  i 10.99% to  i 8.32%, effective upon the date of the complaint.  In March 2018, AEP’s transmission owning subsidiaries within PJM and six of the complainants filed a settlement agreement with the FERC (the seventh complainant abstained).  The settlement agreement: (a) established a base ROE for AEP’s transmission owning subsidiaries within PJM of  i 9.85% ( i 10.35% inclusive of the RTO incentive adder of  i 0.5%), effective January 1, 2018, (b) required AEP’s transmission owning subsidiaries within PJM to provide a one-time refund of $ i 50 million, attributable from the date of the complaint through December 31, 2017, which was credited to customer bills in the second quarter of 2018 and (c) increased the cap on the equity portion of the capital structure to  i 55% from  i 50%.  As part of the settlement agreement, AEP’s transmission owning subsidiaries within PJM also filed updated transmission formula rates incorporating the reduction in the corporate federal income tax rate due to Tax Reform, effective January 1, 2018 and providing for the amortization of the portion of the Excess ADIT that is not subject to rate normalization requirements over a ten-year period through credits to the federal income tax expense component of the revenue requirement. In May 2019, the FERC approved the settlement agreement.

FERC Transmission Complaint - AEP’s SPP Participants (Applies to AEP, AEPTCo, PSO and SWEPCo)

In 2017, several parties filed a complaint at the FERC that states the base return on common equity used by AEP’s transmission owning subsidiaries within SPP in calculating formula transmission rates under the SPP OATT is excessive and should be reduced from 10.7% to 8.36%, effective upon the date of the complaint through September 5, 2018. In September 2018, the same parties filed another complaint at the FERC that states the base return on common equity used by AEP’s transmission owning subsidiaries within SPP in calculating formula transmission rates under the SPP OATT is excessive and should be reduced from 10.7% to 8.71%, effective upon the date of the second complaint. In June 2019, the FERC approved an unopposed settlement agreement between AEP’s transmission owning subsidiaries within SPP and the complainants. The settlement agreement established a base ROE of 10% (10.50% inclusive of the RTO incentive adder of 0.5%) effective January 1, 2019. Additionally, refunds including carrying charges will be made from the date of the first complaint through December 31, 2018. Refunds for the period prior to 2019 will be

148



made at the time of the 2019 true-up of 2018 rates. Refunds from January 2019 onward will conclude with the 2020 true-up of 2019 rates.
 
Modifications to AEP’s SPP Transmission Rates (Applies to AEP, AEPTCo, PSO and SWEPCo)

In 2017, AEP’s transmission owning subsidiaries within SPP filed an application at the FERC to modify the SPP OATT formula transmission rate calculation, including an adjustment to recover a tax-related regulatory asset and a shift from historical to projected expenses.  The modified SPP OATT formula rates are based on projected calendar year financial activity and projected plant balances. The FERC accepted the proposed modifications effective January 1, 2018, subject to refund. In February 2019, AEP’s transmission owning subsidiaries within SPP filed an uncontested settlement agreement with the FERC resolving all outstanding issues. In June 2019, the FERC approved the settlement agreement.

5.   i COMMITMENTS, GUARANTEES AND CONTINGENCIES

The disclosures in this note apply to all Registrants unless indicated otherwise.

The Registrants are subject to certain claims and legal actions arising in the ordinary course of business.  In addition, the Registrants’ business activities are subject to extensive governmental regulation related to public health and the environment.  The ultimate outcome of such pending or potential litigation against the Registrants cannot be predicted.  Management accrues contingent liabilities only when management concludes that it is both probable that a liability has been incurred at the date of the financial statements and the amount of loss can be reasonably estimated. When management determines that it is not probable, but rather reasonably possible that a liability has been incurred at the date of the financial statements, management discloses such contingencies and the possible loss or range of loss if such estimate can be made. Any estimated range is based on currently available information and involves elements of judgment and significant uncertainties. Any estimated range of possible loss may not represent the maximum possible loss exposure. Circumstances change over time and actual results may vary significantly from estimates.

For current proceedings not specifically discussed below, management does not anticipate that the liabilities, if any, arising from such proceedings would have a material effect on the financial statements. The Commitments, Guarantees and Contingencies note within the 2018 Annual Report should be read in conjunction with this report.

GUARANTEES

Liabilities for guarantees are recorded in accordance with the accounting guidance for “Guarantees.”  There is no collateral held in relation to any guarantees.  In the event any guarantee is drawn, there is no recourse to third-parties unless specified below.

Letters of Credit (Applies to AEP, AEP Texas and OPCo)

Standby letters of credit are entered into with third-parties.  These letters of credit are issued in the ordinary course of business and cover items such as natural gas and electricity risk management contracts, construction contracts, insurance programs, security deposits and debt service reserves.

AEP has a $ i 4 billion revolving credit facility due in June 2022, under which up to $ i 1.2 billion may be issued as letters of credit on behalf of subsidiaries. As of September 30, 2019, no letters of credit were issued under the revolving credit facility.

An uncommitted facility gives the issuer of the facility the right to accept or decline each request made under the facility.  AEP issues letters of credit on behalf of subsidiaries under six uncommitted facilities totaling $ i 405 million. The Registrants’ maximum future payments for letters of credit issued under the uncommitted facilities as of September 30, 2019 were as follows:

Guarantees of Third-Party Obligations (Applies to AEP and SWEPCo)

As part of the process to receive a renewal of a Texas Railroad Commission permit for lignite mining, SWEPCo provides guarantees of mine reclamation of $ i 155 million. Since SWEPCo uses self-bonding, the guarantee commits SWEPCo to complete the reclamation, in the event, Sabine does not complete the work.  This guarantee ends upon depletion of reserves and completion of reclamation.  The reserves are estimated to deplete in 2036 with reclamation completed by 2046 at an estimated cost of $ i 107 million.  Actual reclamation costs could vary due to inflation and scope changes to the mine reclamation.  As of September 30, 2019, SWEPCo has collected $ i 77 million through a rider

150



for reclamation costs, of which $ i 83 million was recorded in Asset Retirement Obligations, offset by $ i 6 million recorded in Deferred Charges and Other Noncurrent Assets on SWEPCo’s balance sheets.

Sabine charges all of its costs to its only customer, SWEPCo, which recovers these costs through its fuel clauses.

Guarantees of Equity Method Investees (Applies to AEP)

In December 2016, AEP issued a performance guarantee for a 50% owned joint venture which is accounted for as an equity method investment. If the joint venture were to default on payments or performance, AEP would be required to make payments on behalf of the joint venture. As of September 30, 2019, the maximum potential amount of future payments associated with this guarantee was $ i 75 million, which expired in October 2019.

In April 2019, AEP acquired Sempra Renewables LLC. See “Acquisitions” section of Note 6 for additional information.

Indemnifications and Other Guarantees

Contracts

The Registrants enter into certain types of contracts which require indemnifications.  Typically these contracts include, but are not limited to, sale agreements, lease agreements, purchase agreements and financing agreements.  Generally, these agreements may include, but are not limited to, indemnifications around certain tax, contractual and environmental matters.  With respect to sale agreements, exposure generally does not exceed the sale price.  As of September 30, 2019, there were no material liabilities recorded for any indemnifications.

AEPSC conducts power purchase-and-sale activity on behalf of APCo, I&M, KPCo and WPCo, who are jointly and severally liable for activity conducted on their behalf.  AEPSC also conducts power purchase-and-sale activity on behalf of PSO and SWEPCo, who are jointly and severally liable for activity conducted on their behalf.

ENVIRONMENTAL CONTINGENCIES (Applies to all Registrants except AEPTCo)

The Comprehensive Environmental Response Compensation and Liability Act (Superfund) and State Remediation

By-products from the generation of electricity include materials such as ash, slag, sludge, low-level radioactive waste and SNF.  Coal combustion by-products, which constitute the overwhelming percentage of these materials, are typically treated and deposited in captive disposal facilities or are beneficially utilized.  In addition, the generation plants and transmission and distribution facilities have used asbestos, polychlorinated biphenyls and other hazardous and non-hazardous materials.  The Registrants currently incur costs to dispose of these substances safely. For remediation processes not specifically discussed, management does not anticipate that the liabilities, if any, arising from such remediation processes would have a material effect on the financial statements.

NUCLEAR CONTINGENCIES (Applies to AEP and I&M)

I&M owns and operates the Cook Plant under licenses granted by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.  I&M has a significant future financial commitment to dispose of SNF and to safely decommission and decontaminate the plant.  The licenses to operate the two nuclear units at the Cook Plant expire in 2034 and 2037.  The operation of a nuclear facility also involves special risks, potential liabilities and specific regulatory and safety requirements.  By agreement, I&M is partially liable, together with all other electric utility companies that own nuclear generation units, for a nuclear power plant incident at any nuclear plant in the U.S. Should a nuclear incident occur at any nuclear power plant in the U.S., the resultant liability could be substantial.

151



OPERATIONAL CONTINGENCIES

Rockport Plant Litigation (Applies to AEP and I&M)

In 2013, the Wilmington Trust Company filed a complaint in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York against AEGCo and I&M alleging that it would be unlawfully burdened by the terms of the modified NSR consent decree after the Rockport Plant, Unit 2 lease expiration in December 2022. The terms of the consent decree allow the installation of environmental emission control equipment, repowering, refueling or retirement of the unit. The plaintiffs seek a judgment declaring that the defendants breached the lease, must satisfy obligations related to installation of emission control equipment and indemnify the plaintiffs. The New York court granted a motion to transfer this case to the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Ohio.

AEGCo and I&M sought and were granted dismissal by the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Ohio of certain of the plaintiffs’ claims, including claims for compensatory damages, breach of contract, breach of the implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing and indemnification of costs. Plaintiffs voluntarily dismissed the surviving claims that AEGCo and I&M failed to exercise prudent utility practices with prejudice, and the court issued a final judgment. The plaintiffs subsequently filed an appeal in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit.

In 2017, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit issued an opinion and judgment affirming the district court’s dismissal of the owners’ breach of good faith and fair dealing claim as duplicative of the breach of contract claims, reversing the district court’s dismissal of the breach of contract claims and remanding the case for further proceedings.

Thereafter, AEP filed a motion with the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Ohio in the original NSR litigation, seeking to modify the consent decree. The district court granted the owners’ unopposed motion to stay the lease litigation to afford time for resolution of AEP’s motion to modify the consent decree. The consent decree was modified based on an agreement among the parties in July 2019. As part of the modification to the consent decree, I&M agreed to provide an additional $ i 7.5 million to citizens’ groups and the states for environmental mitigation projects. As joint owners in the Rockport Plant, the $7.5 million payment was shared between AEGCo and I&M based on the joint ownership agreement. See “Modification of the New Source Review Litigation Consent Decree” section of Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations for additional information.

Management will continue to defend against the claims. Given that the district court dismissed plaintiffs’ claims seeking compensatory relief as premature, and that plaintiffs have yet to present a methodology for determining or any analysis supporting any alleged damages, management cannot determine a range of potential losses that are reasonably possible of occurring.

Patent Infringement Complaint

In July 2019, Midwest Energy Emissions Corporation and MES Inc. (collectively, the plaintiffs) filed a patent infringement complaint against various parties, including AEP Texas, AGR, Cardinal Operating Company and SWEPCo (collectively, the AEP Defendants). The complaint alleges that the AEP Defendants infringed two patents owned by the plaintiffs by using specific processes for mercury control at certain coal-fired generating stations.  The complaint seeks injunctive relief and damages.  Management will continue to defend against the claims. Management is unable to determine a range of potential loss that is reasonably possible of occurring.

6 i ACQUISITIONS AND IMPAIRMENTS

The disclosures in this note apply to AEP only unless indicated otherwise.
 
ACQUISITIONS

Sempra Renewables LLC (Generation & Marketing Segment)

In April 2019, AEP acquired Sempra Renewables LLC and its ownership interests in  i 724 MWs of wind generation and battery assets valued at approximately $ i 1.1 billion. This acquisition is part of AEP’s strategy to grow its renewable generation portfolio and to diversify generation resources. AEP paid $583 million in cash and acquired a  i 50% ownership interest in five non-consolidated joint ventures with net assets valued at $406 million as of the acquisition date (which includes $ i 364 million of existing debt obligations). Additionally, the transaction included the acquisition of two tax equity partnerships and the associated recognition of noncontrolling tax equity interest of $135 million. The purchase price, subject to working capital adjustments, was allocated as follows:

 / 

Management allocated the purchase price based upon the relative fair value of the assets acquired and noncontrolling interests assumed. The fair value of the primary assets acquired and the noncontrolling interests assumed was determined using a discounted cash flow method under the income approach. The key input assumptions utilized in the determination of the fair value of these assets were the pricing and terms of the existing purchase power agreements, forecasted market power prices, forecasted PTCs from the wind farms, expected wind farm net capacity, forecasted cash benefits from income tax depreciation and discount rates reflecting risk inherent in the future cash flows and future power prices. Additional key input assumptions for the fair value of the noncontrolling interests include the terms of the limited liability company agreements that dictate the sharing of the tax attributes and cash flows associated with the tax equity partnerships. Under the accounting rules for acquisitions, AEP has one year to finalize the purchase price allocation, including working capital adjustments and other closing adjustments.

Upon closing of the purchase, Sempra Renewables LLC was legally renamed AEP Wind Holdings LLC. AEP Wind Holdings LLC develops, owns and operates, or holds interests in, wind generation facilities in the United States. The operating wind generation portfolio includes seven wind farms. Five wind farms are jointly-owned with BP Wind Energy, and two wind farms are consolidated by AEP and are tax equity partnerships with nonaffiliated noncontrolling interests. All seven wind farms have long-term PPAs for 100% of their energy production. One of the joint venture wind farms has PPAs with I&M and OPCo for a portion of its energy production which totaled $ i 2 million and $ i 3 million, respectively, of purchased electricity for the three months ended September 30, 2019, and $ i 5 million and $ i 10 million, respectively, for the nine months ended September 30, 2019. Another joint venture wind farm has a PPA with SWEPCo for a portion of its energy production which totaled $ i 3 million and $ i 6 million of purchased electricity for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, respectively. The PPAs with I&M, OPCo and SWEPCo were executed prior to the acquisition of the wind farms and will be accounted for in accordance with the accounting guidance for “Related Parties.”

Parent has issued guarantees over the performance of the joint ventures. If a joint venture were to default on payments or performance, Parent would be required to make payments on behalf of the joint venture. As of September 30, 2019, the maximum potential amount of future payments associated with these guarantees was $ i 186 million, with the last guarantee expiring in December 2037. The liability recorded associated with these guarantees was $ i 34 million as of September 30, 2019.


153



The acquired business contributed revenues and Net Income to AEP that were not material for the period April 22, 2019 to September 30, 2019. The pro-forma revenue and net income related to the acquisition of Sempra Renewables LLC were not material for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018.

See Note 14 - Variable Interest Entities and Equity Method Investments for additional information related to the purchased wind farms.

Santa Rita East (Generation & Marketing Segment)

In July 2019, AEP acquired a  i 75% interest, or  i 227 MWs, in Santa Rita East for approximately $ i 356 million. In accordance with the accounting guidance for “Business Combinations,” management determined that the acquisition of Santa Rita East represents an asset acquisition. Additionally, and in accordance with the accounting guidance for “Consolidation,” management concluded that Santa Rita East is a VIE. As a result, to account for the initial consolidation of Santa Rita East, management applied the acquisition method by allocating the purchase price based on the relative fair value of the assets acquired and noncontrolling interest assumed.  The fair value of the primary assets acquired and the noncontrolling interest assumed was determined using the market approach.  The key input assumptions were the transaction price paid for AEP’s interest in Santa Rita East and recent third-party market transactions for similar wind farms. See “Santa Rita East” section of Note 14 for additional information.

IMPAIRMENTS

Other Assets (Corporate and Other) (Vertically Integrated Utilities Segment) (Applies to AEP and APCo)
 
In the first quarter of 2018, AEP was notified by an equity investee that it had ceased operations. AEP recorded a pretax impairment of $ i 21 million in Other Operation on the statements of income related to the equity investment and related assets. The impairment also had an immaterial impact to APCo.

Merchant Generating Assets (Generation & Marketing Segment)

A project to reconstruct a defective dam structure at Racine began in the first quarter of 2017. As of September 30, 2018, the Racine reconstruction project had accumulated new capital expenditures of $ i 35 million. Due to a significant increase in estimated costs to complete the reconstruction project, in the third quarter of 2018, an impairment analysis was performed. AEP performed step one of the impairment analysis using undiscounted cash flows for the estimated useful life of Racine based upon energy and capacity price curves, which were developed internally with observable Level 2 third-party quotations and unobservable Level 3 inputs, as well as management’s forecasts of operating expenses and capital expenditures. AEP performed step two of the impairment analysis on Racine using a ten-year discounted cash flow model based upon similar forecasted information used in the step one test. The step two analysis resulted in a determination that the fair value of Racine in its condition as of September 30, 2018 was $ i 0. As a result, AEP recorded a pretax impairment of $ i 35 million in Other Operation on the statements of income in the third quarter of 2018. In October 2018, AEP received authorization from the FERC to restart generation at Racine and generation resumed in November 2018.

Due to weather-related delays in the first quarter of 2019, reconstruction activities at Racine are now estimated to be completed in the first half of 2020. AEP expects to incur additional capital expenditures to complete the reconstruction project, at which point the fair value of Racine, as fully operational, is expected to approximate the book value once complete. Future revisions in cost estimates or delays in completion could result in additional losses which could reduce future net income and cash flows and impact financial condition.

The disclosures in this note apply to all Registrants unless indicated otherwise.

AEP’s Reportable Segments

AEP’s primary business is the generation, transmission and distribution of electricity.  Within its Vertically Integrated Utilities segment, AEP centrally dispatches generation assets and manages its overall utility operations on an integrated basis because of the substantial impact of cost-based rates and regulatory oversight.  Intersegment sales and transfers are generally based on underlying contractual arrangements and agreements.

AEP’s reportable segments and their related business activities are outlined below:

Vertically Integrated Utilities

Generation, transmission and distribution of electricity for sale to retail and wholesale customers through assets owned and operated by AEGCo, APCo, I&M, KGPCo, KPCo, PSO, SWEPCo and WPCo.

Transmission and Distribution Utilities

Transmission and distribution of electricity for sale to retail and wholesale customers through assets owned and operated by AEP Texas and OPCo.
OPCo purchases energy and capacity to serve SSO customers and provides transmission and distribution services for all connected load.

AEP Transmission Holdco

Development, construction and operation of transmission facilities through investments in AEPTCo. These investments have FERC-approved ROEs.
Development, construction and operation of transmission facilities through investments in AEP’s transmission-only joint ventures. These investments have PUCT-approved or FERC-approved ROEs.

Generation & Marketing

Competitive generation in ERCOT and PJM.
Marketing, risk management and retail activities in ERCOT, PJM, SPP and MISO.
Contracted renewable energy investments and management services.

The remainder of AEP’s activities is presented as Corporate and Other.

Registrant Subsidiaries’ Reportable Segments (Applies to all Registrant Subsidiaries except AEPTCo)

The Registrant Subsidiaries each have one reportable segment, an integrated electricity generation, transmission and distribution business for APCo, I&M, PSO and SWEPCo, and an integrated electricity transmission and distribution business for AEP Texas and OPCo.  Other activities are insignificant.  The Registrant Subsidiaries’ operations are managed on an integrated basis because of the substantial impact of cost-based rates and regulatory oversight on the business process, cost structures and operating results.

AEPTCo’s Reportable Segments

AEPTCo Parent is the holding company of seven FERC-regulated transmission-only electric utilities. The seven State Transcos have been identified as operating segments of AEPTCo under the accounting guidance for “Segment Reporting.” The State Transcos business consists of developing, constructing and operating transmission facilities at the request of the RTOs in which they operate and in replacing and upgrading facilities, assets and components of the existing AEP transmission system as needed to maintain reliability standards and provide service to AEP’s wholesale and retail customers. The State Transcos are regulated for rate-making purposes exclusively by the FERC and earn revenues through tariff rates charged for the use of their electric transmission systems.

AEPTCo’s Chief Operating Decision Maker makes operating decisions, allocates resources to and assesses performance based on these operating segments. The State Transcos operating segments all have similar economic characteristics and meet all of the criteria under the accounting guidance for “Segment Reporting” to be aggregated into one operating segment. As a result, AEPTCo has one reportable segment. The remainder of AEPTCo’s activity is presented in AEPTCo Parent. While not considered a reportable segment, AEPTCo Parent represents the activity of the holding company which primarily relates to debt financing activity and general corporate activities.

The tables below present AEPTCo’s reportable segment income statement information for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018 and reportable segment balance sheet information as of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018.

9.   i DERIVATIVES AND HEDGING

The disclosures in this note apply to all Registrants unless indicated otherwise. For the periods presented, AEPTCo did not have any derivative and hedging activity.

OBJECTIVES FOR UTILIZATION OF DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS

The Registrants are exposed to certain market risks as major power producers and participants in the electricity, capacity, natural gas, coal and emission allowance markets.  These risks include commodity price risks which may be subject to capacity risk, interest rate risk and credit risk.  These risks represent the risk of loss that may impact the Registrants due to changes in the underlying market prices or rates.  Management utilizes derivative instruments to manage these risks.

STRATEGIES FOR UTILIZATION OF DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS TO ACHIEVE OBJECTIVES

Risk Management Strategies

The strategy surrounding the use of derivative instruments primarily focuses on managing risk exposures, future cash flows and creating value utilizing both economic and formal hedging strategies. The risk management strategies also include the use of derivative instruments for trading purposes which focus on seizing market opportunities to create value driven by expected changes in the market prices of the commodities. To accomplish these objectives, the Registrants primarily employ risk management contracts including physical and financial forward purchase-and-sale contracts and, to a lesser extent, OTC swaps and options. Not all risk management contracts meet the definition of a derivative under the accounting guidance for “Derivatives and Hedging.” Derivative risk management contracts elected normal under the normal purchases and normal sales scope exception are not subject to the requirements of this accounting guidance.

The Registrants utilize power, capacity, coal, natural gas, interest rate and, to a lesser extent, heating oil, gasoline and other commodity contracts to manage the risk associated with the energy business. The Registrants utilize interest rate derivative contracts in order to manage the interest rate exposure associated with the commodity portfolio. For disclosure purposes, such risks are grouped as “Commodity,” as these risks are related to energy risk management activities. The Registrants also utilize derivative contracts to manage interest rate risk associated with debt financing. For disclosure purposes, these risks are grouped as “Interest Rate.” The amount of risk taken is determined by the Commercial Operations, Energy Supply and Finance groups in accordance with established risk management policies as approved by the Finance Committee of the Board of Directors.

Fair Value Hedging Strategies (Applies to AEP)

Parent enters into interest rate derivative transactions as part of an overall strategy to manage the mix of fixed-rate and floating-rate debt. Certain interest rate derivative transactions effectively modify exposure to interest rate risk by converting a portion of fixed-rate debt to a floating-rate. Provided specific criteria are met, these interest rate derivatives may be designated as fair value hedges.

Cash Flow Hedging Strategies

The Registrants utilize cash flow hedges on certain derivative transactions for the purchase and sale of power (“Commodity”) in order to manage the variable price risk related to forecasted purchases and sales. Management monitors the potential impacts of commodity price changes and, where appropriate, enters into derivative transactions to protect profit margins for a portion of future electricity sales and purchases. The Registrants do not hedge all commodity price risk.

The Registrants utilize a variety of interest rate derivative transactions in order to manage interest rate risk exposure. The Registrants also utilize interest rate derivative contracts to manage interest rate exposure related to future borrowings of fixed-rate debt. The Registrants do not hedge all interest rate exposure.

165



ACCOUNTING FOR DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND THE IMPACT ON THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The accounting guidance for “Derivatives and Hedging” requires recognition of all qualifying derivative instruments as either assets or liabilities on the balance sheets at fair value. The fair values of derivative instruments accounted for using MTM accounting or hedge accounting are based on exchange prices and broker quotes. If a quoted market price is not available, the estimate of fair value is based on the best information available including valuation models that estimate future energy prices based on existing market and broker quotes, supply and demand market data and assumptions. In order to determine the relevant fair values of the derivative instruments, the Registrants apply valuation adjustments for discounting, liquidity and credit quality.

Credit risk is the risk that a counterparty will fail to perform on the contract or fail to pay amounts due. Liquidity risk represents the risk that imperfections in the market will cause the price to vary from estimated fair value based upon prevailing market supply and demand conditions. Since energy markets are imperfect and volatile, there are inherent risks related to the underlying assumptions in models used to fair value risk management contracts. Unforeseen events may cause reasonable price curves to differ from actual price curves throughout a contract’s term and at the time a contract settles. Consequently, there could be significant adverse or favorable effects on future net income and cash flows if market prices are not consistent with management’s estimates of current market consensus for forward prices in the current period. This is particularly true for longer term contracts. Cash flows may vary based on market conditions, margin requirements and the timing of settlement of risk management contracts.

According to the accounting guidance for “Derivatives and Hedging,” the Registrants reflect the fair values of derivative instruments subject to netting agreements with the same counterparty net of related cash collateral. For certain risk management contracts, the Registrants are required to post or receive cash collateral based on third-party contractual agreements and risk profiles. AEP netted cash collateral received from third-parties against short-term and long-term
risk management assets in the amounts of $ i 0 million and $ i 18 million as of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively. AEP netted cash collateral paid to third-parties against short-term and long-term risk management liabilities in the amounts of $ i 21 million and $ i 4 million as of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively. The netted cash collateral from third-parties against short-term and long-term risk management assets and netted cash collateral paid to third-parties against short-term and long-term risk management liabilities were immaterial for the other Registrants as of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018.

(a)
Represents realized and unrealized gains and losses subject to regulatory accounting treatment recorded as either current or noncurrent on the balance sheets.

 i 
Certain qualifying derivative instruments have been designated as normal purchase or normal sale contracts, as provided in the accounting guidance for “Derivatives and Hedging.” Derivative contracts that have been designated as normal purchases or normal sales under that accounting guidance are not subject to MTM accounting treatment and are recognized on the statements of income on an accrual basis.

The accounting for the changes in the fair value of a derivative instrument depends on whether it qualifies for and has been designated as part of a hedging relationship and further, on the type of hedging relationship. Depending on the exposure, management designates a hedging instrument as a fair value hedge or a cash flow hedge.

For contracts that have not been designated as part of a hedging relationship, the accounting for changes in fair value depends on whether the derivative instrument is held for trading purposes. Unrealized and realized gains and losses on derivative instruments held for trading purposes are included in revenues on a net basis on the statements of income. Unrealized and realized gains and losses on derivative instruments not held for trading purposes are included in revenues or expenses on the statements of income depending on the relevant facts and circumstances. Certain derivatives that economically hedge future commodity risk are recorded in the same expense line item on the statements of income as that of the associated risk. However, unrealized and some realized gains and losses in regulated jurisdictions for both trading and non-trading derivative instruments are recorded as regulatory assets (for losses) or regulatory liabilities (for gains) in accordance with the accounting guidance for “Regulated Operations.”

172



Accounting for Fair Value Hedging Strategies (Applies to AEP)

For fair value hedges (i.e. hedging the exposure to changes in the fair value of an asset, liability or an identified portion thereof attributable to a particular risk), the gain or loss on the derivative instrument as well as the offsetting gain or loss on the hedged item associated with the hedged risk impacts net income during the period of change.

AEP records realized and unrealized gains or losses on interest rate swaps that are designated and qualify for fair value hedge accounting treatment and any offsetting changes in the fair value of the debt being hedged in Interest Expense on the statements of income.

The following table shows the impacts recognized on the balance sheets related to the hedged items in fair value hedging relationships:

 / 
Accounting for Cash Flow Hedging Strategies

For cash flow hedges (i.e. hedging the exposure to variability in expected future cash flows that is attributable to a particular risk), the Registrants initially report the gain or loss on the derivative instrument as a component of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss) on the balance sheets until the period the hedged item affects net income.

Realized gains and losses on derivative contracts for the purchase and sale of power designated as cash flow hedges are included in Total Revenues or Purchased Electricity for Resale on the statements of income or in Regulatory Assets or Regulatory Liabilities on the balance sheets, depending on the specific nature of the risk being hedged. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, AEP applied cash flow hedging to outstanding power derivatives. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, the Registrant Subsidiaries did not apply cash flow hedging to outstanding power derivatives.

The Registrants reclassify gains and losses on interest rate derivative hedges related to debt financings from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss) on the balance sheets into Interest Expense on the statements of income in those periods in which hedged interest payments occur. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 AEP applied cash flow hedging to outstanding interest rate derivatives and the other Registrant Subsidiaries did not. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 AEP and SWEPCo applied cash flow hedging to outstanding interest rate derivatives and the other Registrant Subsidiaries did not.

For details on effective cash flow hedges included in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss) on the balance sheets and the reasons for changes in cash flow hedges, see Note 3 - Comprehensive Income.

Credit Risk

Management mitigates credit risk in wholesale marketing and trading activities by assessing the creditworthiness of potential counterparties before entering into transactions with them and continuing to evaluate their creditworthiness on an ongoing basis. Management uses credit agency ratings and current market-based qualitative and quantitative data as well as financial statements to assess the financial health of counterparties on an ongoing basis.

Master agreements are typically used to facilitate the netting of cash flows associated with a single counterparty and may include collateral requirements. Collateral requirements in the form of cash, letters of credit and parental/affiliate guarantees may be obtained as security from counterparties in order to mitigate credit risk. Some master agreements include margining, which requires a counterparty to post cash or letters of credit in the event exposure exceeds the established threshold. The threshold represents an unsecured credit limit which may be supported by a parental/affiliate guaranty, as determined in accordance with AEP’s credit policy. In addition, master agreements allow for termination and liquidation of all positions in the event of a default including a failure or inability to post collateral when required.


174



Collateral Triggering Events

Credit Downgrade Triggers (Applies to AEP, APCo, I&M, PSO and SWEPCo)

A limited number of derivative contracts include collateral triggering events, which include a requirement to maintain certain credit ratings.  On an ongoing basis, AEP’s risk management organization assesses the appropriateness of these collateral triggering events in contracts.  The Registrants have not experienced a downgrade below a specified credit rating threshold that would require the posting of additional collateral.  The Registrants had no derivative contracts with collateral triggering events in a net liability position as of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively.

Cross-Default Triggers (Applies to AEP, APCo, I&M and SWEPCo)

In addition, a majority of non-exchange traded commodity contracts contain cross-default provisions that, if triggered, would permit the counterparty to declare a default and require settlement of the outstanding payable. These cross-default provisions could be triggered if there was a non-performance event by Parent or the obligor under outstanding debt or a third-party obligation that is $ i 50 million or greater.  On an ongoing basis, AEP’s risk management organization assesses the appropriateness of these cross-default provisions in the contracts. The following tables represent: (a) the fair value of these derivative liabilities subject to cross-default provisions prior to consideration of contractual netting arrangements, (b) the amount that the exposure has been reduced by cash collateral posted and (c) if a cross-default provision would have been triggered, the settlement amount that would be required after considering contractual netting arrangements:

10.   i FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

The disclosures in this note apply to all Registrants except AEPTCo unless indicated otherwise.

 i 
Fair Value Hierarchy and Valuation Techniques

The accounting guidance for “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures” establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value.  The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurement) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurement).  Where observable inputs are available for substantially the full term of the asset or liability, the instrument is categorized in Level 2.  When quoted market prices are not available, pricing may be completed using comparable securities, dealer values, operating data and general market conditions to determine fair value.  Valuation models utilize various inputs such as commodity, interest rate and, to a lesser degree, volatility and credit that include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in inactive markets, market corroborated inputs (i.e. inputs derived principally from, or correlated to, observable market data) and other observable inputs for the asset or liability.

For commercial activities, exchange-traded derivatives, namely futures contracts, are generally fair valued based on unadjusted quoted prices in active markets and are classified as Level 1.  Level 2 inputs primarily consist of OTC broker quotes in moderately active or less active markets, as well as exchange-traded derivatives where there is insufficient market liquidity to warrant inclusion in Level 1.  Management verifies price curves using these broker quotes and classifies these fair values within Level 2 when substantially all of the fair value can be corroborated.  Management typically obtains multiple broker quotes, which are nonbinding in nature but are based on recent trades in the marketplace.  When multiple broker quotes are obtained, the quoted bid and ask prices are averaged.  In certain circumstances, a broker quote may be discarded if it is a clear outlier.  Management uses a historical correlation analysis between the broker quoted location and the illiquid locations.  If the points are highly correlated, these locations are included within Level 2 as well.  Certain OTC and bilaterally executed derivative instruments are executed in less active markets with a lower availability of pricing information.  Illiquid transactions, complex structured transactions, FTRs and counterparty credit risk may require nonmarket-based inputs.  Some of these inputs may be internally developed or extrapolated and utilized to estimate fair value.  When such inputs have a significant impact on the measurement of fair value, the instrument is categorized as Level 3.  The main driver of contracts being classified as Level 3 is the inability to substantiate energy price curves in the market.  A portion of the Level 3 instruments have been economically hedged which limits potential earnings volatility.

AEP utilizes its trustee’s external pricing service to estimate the fair value of the underlying investments held in the nuclear trusts.  AEP’s investment managers review and validate the prices utilized by the trustee to determine fair value.  AEP’s management performs its own valuation testing to verify the fair values of the securities.  AEP receives audit reports of the trustee’s operating controls and valuation processes.  The trustee uses multiple pricing vendors for the assets held in the trusts.

Assets in the nuclear trusts, cash and cash equivalents, other temporary investments and restricted cash for securitized funding are classified using the following methods. Equities are classified as Level 1 holdings if they are actively traded on exchanges. Items classified as Level 1 are investments in money market funds, fixed income and equity mutual funds and equity securities. They are valued based on observable inputs, primarily unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets. Items classified as Level 2 are primarily investments in individual fixed income securities. Fixed income securities generally do not trade on exchanges and do not have an official closing price but their valuation inputs are based on observable market data. Pricing vendors calculate bond valuations using financial models and matrices. The models use observable inputs including yields on benchmark securities, quotes by securities brokers, rating agency actions, discounts or premiums on securities compared to par prices, changes in yields for U.S. Treasury securities, corporate actions by bond issuers, prepayment schedules and histories, economic events and, for certain securities, adjustments to yields to reflect changes in the rate of inflation. Other securities with model-derived valuation inputs that are observable are also classified as Level 2 investments. Investments with unobservable valuation inputs are classified as Level 3 investments.

176



 i 
Fair Value Measurements of Long-term Debt (Applies to all Registrants)

The fair values of Long-term Debt are based on quoted market prices, without credit enhancements, for the same or similar issues and the current interest rates offered for instruments with similar maturities classified as Level 2 measurement inputs.  These instruments are not marked-to-market.  The estimates presented are not necessarily indicative of the amounts that could be realized in a current market exchange. The fair value of AEP’s Equity Units (Level 1) are valued based on publicly traded securities issued by AEP.

The book values and fair values of Long-term Debt are summarized in the following table:

Fair Value Measurements of Trust Assets for Decommissioning and SNF Disposal (Applies to AEP and I&M)

Nuclear decommissioning and SNF trust funds represent funds that regulatory commissions allow I&M to collect through rates to fund future decommissioning and SNF disposal liabilities.  By rules or orders, the IURC, the MPSC and the FERC established investment limitations and general risk management guidelines.  In general, limitations include:

Acceptable investments (rated investment grade or above when purchased).
Maximum percentage invested in a specific type of investment.
Prohibition of investment in obligations of AEP, I&M or their affiliates.
Withdrawals permitted only for payment of decommissioning costs and trust expenses.

I&M maintains trust funds for each regulatory jurisdiction.  Regulatory approval is required to withdraw decommissioning funds. These funds are managed by external investment managers who must comply with the guidelines and rules of the applicable regulatory authorities.  The trust assets are invested to optimize the net of tax earnings of the trust giving consideration to liquidity, risk, diversification and other prudent investment objectives.

I&M records securities held in these trust funds in Spent Nuclear Fuel and Decommissioning Trusts on its balance sheets. I&M records these securities at fair value. I&M classifies securities in the trust funds as available-for-sale due to their long-term purpose. With the adoption of ASU 2016-01, effective January 2018, available-for-sale classification only applies to investment in debt securities. Additionally, the adoption of ASU 2016-01 required changes in fair value of equity securities to be recognized in earnings. However, due to the regulatory treatment described below, this is not applicable for I&M’s trust fund securities.

Other-than-temporary impairments for investments in debt securities are considered realized losses as a result of securities being managed by an external investment management firm. The external investment management firm makes specific investment decisions regarding the debt and equity investments held in these trusts and generally intends to sell debt securities in an unrealized loss position as part of a tax optimization strategy. Impairments reduce the cost basis of the securities which will affect any future unrealized gain or realized gain or loss due to the adjusted cost of investment. I&M records unrealized gains, unrealized losses and other-than-temporary impairments from securities in these trust funds as adjustments to the regulatory liability account for the nuclear decommissioning trust funds and to regulatory assets or liabilities for the SNF disposal trust funds in accordance with their treatment in rates. Consequently, changes in fair value of trust assets do not affect earnings or AOCI.

Fair Value Measurements of Financial Assets and Liabilities

The following tables set forth, by level within the fair value hierarchy, the Registrants’ financial assets and liabilities that were accounted for at fair value on a recurring basis.  As required by the accounting guidance for “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures,” financial assets and liabilities are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.  Management’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement requires judgment and may affect the valuation of fair value assets and liabilities and their placement within the fair value hierarchy levels.  There have not been any significant changes in management’s valuation techniques.

(b)

Effective Tax Rates (ETR)

The Registrants’ interim ETR reflect the estimated annual ETR for 2019 and 2018, adjusted for tax expense associated with certain discrete items. The interim ETR differ from the federal statutory tax rate of 21% primarily due to increased amortization of Excess ADIT, tax credits and other book/tax differences which are accounted for on a flow-through basis.

 i 
The Registrants include the amortization of Excess ADIT not subject to normalization requirements in the annual estimated ETR when regulatory proceedings instruct the Registrants to provide the benefits of Tax Reform to customers over multiple interim periods.  Certain regulatory proceedings instruct the Registrants to provide the benefits of Tax Reform to customers in a single period (e.g. by applying the Excess ADIT not subject to normalization requirements against an existing regulatory asset balance) and in these circumstances, the Registrants recognize the tax benefit discretely in the period recorded. The annual amount of Excess ADIT approved by the Registrant’s regulatory commissions may not impact the ETR ratably during each interim period due to the variability of pretax book income between interim periods and the application of an annual estimated ETR.

The ETR for each of the Registrants are included in the following table. Significant variances in the ETR are described below.

AEP

Three Months Ended September 30, 2019 Compared to Three Months Ended September 30, 2018

The increase in the ETR was primarily due to $ i 71 million of decreased amortization of Excess ADIT not subject to normalization requirements and $ i 14 million of increased state tax expense which impacted the ETR by  i 19.1% and  i 1.3%, respectively.

Nine Months Ended September 30, 2019 Compared to Nine Months Ended September 30, 2018

The decrease in the ETR was primarily due to $ i 93 million of increased amortization of Excess ADIT not subject to normalization requirements which impacted the ETR by ( i 4.5)%.

AEP Texas

Three Months Ended September 30, 2019 Compared to Three Months Ended September 30, 2018

The increase in ETR was primarily due to significantly higher pretax book income which reduced the impact that favorable tax deductions had on the ETR.

Nine Months Ended September 30, 2019 Compared to Nine Months Ended September 30, 2018

The decrease in the ETR was primarily due to $ i 59 million of increased amortization of Excess ADIT not subject to normalization requirements which impacted the ETR by ( i 38.9)%. Amortization of Excess ADIT not subject to normalization requirements for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 reflects Tax Reform elements of the Stipulation and Settlement agreement approved by the PUCT in August 2018 and the Texas Storm Cost Securitization financing order issued by the PUCT in June 2019.

AEPTCo

Three Months Ended September 30, 2019 Compared to Three Months Ended September 30, 2018

The increase in the ETR was primarily due to $ i 3 million of increased state tax expense and $ i 2 million of decreased amortization of Excess ADIT not subject to normalization requirements which impacted the ETR by  i 1.3% and  i 1%, respectively.

Nine Months Ended September 30, 2019 Compared to Nine Months Ended September 30, 2018

192



APCo
 
Three Months Ended September 30, 2019 Compared to Three Months Ended September 30, 2018
 
The increase in the ETR was primarily due to $ i 56 million of decreased amortization of Excess ADIT not subject to normalization requirements and $ i 6 million of increased state tax expense which impacted the ETR by  i 947.3% and  i 34.8%, respectively. Amortization of Excess ADIT not subject to normalization requirements primarily decreased from the prior year due to the discrete impact of the West Virginia Tax Reform order which enabled APCo to utilize $ i 73 million of Excess ADIT not subject to normalization requirements to offset certain regulatory asset balances in the third quarter of 2018.

Nine Months Ended September 30, 2019 Compared to Nine Months Ended September 30, 2018

The decrease in the ETR was primarily due to $ i 9 million of increased amortization of Excess ADIT not subject to normalization requirements which impacted the ETR by ( i 4.6)%.

I&M

Three Months Ended September 30, 2019 Compared to Three Months Ended September 30, 2018

The decrease in the ETR was primarily due to $ i 10 million of increased amortization of Excess ADIT, $ i 3 million of increased favorable book/tax differences accounted for on a flow-through basis, $ i 2 million of decreased state income tax expense and $ i 1 million of increased parent company loss benefit which impacted the ETR by ( i 11.3)%, ( i 3.2)%, ( i 1.8)% and ( i 1.6)% respectively.

Nine Months Ended September 30, 2019 Compared to Nine Months Ended September 30, 2018

The decrease in the ETR was primarily due to $ i 16 million of increased amortization of Excess ADIT not subject to normalization requirements and $ i 12 million of increased favorable book/tax differences accounted for on a flow-through basis which impacted the ETR by ( i 6.9)% and ( i 4.8)%, respectively. Amortization of Excess ADIT not subject to normalization requirements for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 reflects the Tax Reform elements of the 2017 Indiana Base Rate Case approved by the IURC in May 2018.

OPCo

Three Months Ended September 30, 2019 Compared to Three Months Ended September 30, 2018

The increase in the ETR was primarily due to $ i 35 million of decreased amortization of Excess ADIT not subject to normalization requirements and $ i 1 million of decreased parent company loss benefit which impacted the ETR by  i 60% and  i 2%, respectively. Amortization of Excess ADIT not subject to amortization requirements decreased from the prior year primarily due to the discrete impact of the Ohio Tax Reform order which enabled OPCo to utilize $ i 38 million of Excess ADIT not subject to rate normalization requirements to offset certain regulatory asset balances in the third quarter of 2018.

Nine Months Ended September 30, 2019 Compared to Nine Months Ended September 30, 2018

The increase in the ETR was primarily due to $ i 24 million of decreased amortization of Excess ADIT not subject to normalization requirements which impacted the ETR by  i 10.8%. Amortization of Excess ADIT not subject to amortization requirements decreased from the prior year primarily due to the discrete impact of the Ohio Tax Reform order which enabled OPCo to utilize $ i 38 million of Excess ADIT not subject to rate normalization requirements to offset certain regulatory asset balances in the third quarter of 2018.

PSO

Three Months Ended September 30, 2019 Compared to Three Months Ended September 30, 2018

The ETR remained comparable for the three months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018.

Nine Months Ended September 30, 2019 Compared to Nine Months Ended September 30, 2018

The decrease in the ETR was primarily due to $ i 15 million of increased amortization of Excess ADIT not subject to normalization requirements which impacted the ETR by ( i 6.8)%. Amortization of Excess ADIT not subject to normalization requirements for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 reflects the August 2018 OCC Tax Reform order as well as Tax Reform elements of the 2018 Oklahoma Base Rate Case approved by the OCC in March 2019.

SWEPCo

Three Months Ended September 30, 2019 Compared to Three Months Ended September 30, 2018

Federal and State Income Tax Audit Status

AEP and subsidiaries are no longer subject to U.S. federal examination by the IRS for all years through 2013. During the IRS examination of years 2011 through 2014, the statute of limitations for these years was extended to coincide with the examination of 2015. During the third quarter of 2019, AEP and subsidiaries elected to amend the 2014 and 2015 federal returns. Due to the amendment of these federal returns, the 2014 and 2015 years will remain open for possible IRS examination for only the items that were amended on the 2014 and 2015 federal returns. The IRS examination of 2016 began in October 2018 and concluded in March 2019.

State Tax Legislation (Applies to AEP, AEPTCo, I&M and OPCo)

In April 2018, the Kentucky legislature enacted House Bill (H.B.) 487. H.B. 487 adopts mandatory unitary combined reporting for state corporate income tax purposes applicable for taxable years beginning on or after January 1, 2019. H.B. 487 also adopts the 80% federal net operating loss (NOL) limitation under Internal Revenue Code Sec. 172(a) for NOLs generated after January 1, 2018 and the federal unlimited carryforward period for unused NOLs generated after January 1, 2018. In addition, H.B. 366 was also enacted in April 2018, which among other things, replaces the graduated corporate tax rate structure with a flat 5% tax rate for business income and adopts a single-sales factor apportionment formula for apportioning a corporation’s business income to Kentucky. In the second quarter of 2018, AEP recorded an $ i 18 million benefit to Income Tax Expense (Benefit) as a result of remeasuring Kentucky deferred taxes under a unitary filing group. The enacted legislation did not materially impact AEPTCo’s, I&M’s or OPCo’s net income.

12.   i LEASES

The disclosures in this note apply to all Registrants unless indicated otherwise.

The Registrants lease property, plant and equipment including, but not limited to, fleet, information technology and real estate leases. These leases require payments of non-lease components, including related property taxes, operating and maintenance costs. As of the adoption date of ASU 2016-02, management elected not to separate non-lease components from associated lease components in accordance with the accounting guidance for “Leases.”  Many of these leases have purchase or renewal options. Leases not renewed are often replaced by other leases. Options to renew or purchase a lease are included in the measurement of lease assets and liabilities if it is reasonably certain the Registrant will exercise the option.

 i 
Lease obligations are measured using the discount rate implicit in the lease when that rate is readily determinable. When the implicit rate is not readily determinable, the Registrants measure their lease obligation using their estimated secured incremental borrowing rate. Incremental borrowing rates are comprised of an underlying risk free rate and a secured credit spread relative to the lessee on a matched maturity basis.

Lease rentals for both operating and finance leases are generally charged to Other Operation and Maintenance expense in accordance with rate-making treatment for regulated operations.  Additionally, for regulated operations with finance leases, a finance lease asset and offsetting liability are recorded at the present value of the remaining lease payments for each reporting period.  Finance leases for nonregulated property are accounted for as if the assets were owned and financed.  The components of rental costs were as follows:

Master Lease Agreements (Applies to all Registrants except AEPTCo)

The Registrants lease certain equipment under master lease agreements.  Under the lease agreements, the lessor is guaranteed a residual value up to a stated percentage of the equipment cost at the end of the lease term. If the actual fair value of the leased equipment is below the guaranteed residual value at the end of the lease term, the Registrants are committed to pay the difference between the actual fair value and the residual value guarantee.  Historically, at the end of the lease term the fair value has been in excess of the amount guaranteed.  As of September 30, 2019, the maximum potential loss by the Registrants for these lease agreements assuming the fair value of the equipment is zero at the end of the lease term was as follows:

Rockport Lease (Applies to AEP and I&M)

AEGCo and I&M entered into a sale-and-leaseback transaction in 1989 with Wilmington Trust Company (Owner Trustee), an unrelated, unconsolidated trustee for Rockport Plant, Unit 2 (the Plant).  The Owner Trustee was capitalized with equity from six owner participants with no relationship to AEP or any of its subsidiaries and debt from a syndicate of banks and securities in a private placement to certain institutional investors. In the first quarter of 2019, in accordance with ASU 2016-02, the $ i 37 million unamortized gain ($ i 15 million related to I&M) associated with the sale-and-leaseback of the Plant was recognized as an adjustment to equity.  The adjustment to equity was then reclassified to regulatory liabilities in accordance with accounting guidance for “Regulated Operations” as AEGCo and I&M will continue to provide the benefit of the unamortized gain to customers in future periods.

The Owner Trustee owns the Plant and leases equal portions to AEGCo and I&M.  The lease is accounted for as an operating lease with the payment obligations included in the future minimum lease payments schedule earlier in this note.  The lease term is for  i 33 years and at the end of the lease term, AEGCo and I&M have the option to renew the lease at a rate that approximates fair value.  The option to renew was not included in the measurement of the lease obligation as of September 30, 2019 as the execution of the option was not reasonably certain. AEP, AEGCo and I&M have no ownership interest in the Owner Trustee and do not guarantee its debt.  The future minimum lease payments for this sale-and-leaseback transaction as of September 30, 2019 were as follows:

AEPRO Boat and Barge Leases (Applies to AEP)

In 2015, AEP sold its commercial barge transportation subsidiary, AEPRO, to a nonaffiliated party. Certain boat and barge leases acquired by the nonaffiliated party are subject to an AEP guarantee in favor of the lessor, ensuring future payments under such leases with maturities up to 2027. As of September 30, 2019, the maximum potential amount of future payments required under the guaranteed leases was $ i 56 million. In certain instances, AEP has no recourse against the nonaffiliated party if required to pay a lessor under a guarantee, but AEP would have access to sell the leased assets in order to recover payments made by AEP under the guarantee. As of September 30, 2019, AEP’s boat and barge lease guarantee liability was $ i 4 million, of which $ i 1 million was recorded in Other Current Liabilities and $ i 3 million was recorded in Deferred Credits and Other Noncurrent Liabilities on AEP’s balance sheet.

In January 2018, S&P Global Inc. downgraded the ratings of the nonaffiliated party and set their outlook to negative. In April 2018, Moody’s Investors Service Inc. (Moody’s) also downgraded their rating and set their outlook to negative. Moody’s further downgraded their rating in April 2019 and maintained a negative outlook. It is reasonably possible that enforcement of AEP’s liability for future payments under these leases could be exercised, which could reduce future net income and cash flows and impact financial condition.

Lessor Activity

The Registrants’ lessor activity was immaterial as of and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019.

Equity Units (Applies to AEP)

In March 2019, AEP issued  i 16.1 million Equity Units initially in the form of corporate units, at a stated amount of $ i 50 per unit, for a total stated amount of $805 million. Net proceeds from the issuance were approximately $ i 785 million. The proceeds were used to support AEP’s overall capital expenditure plans including the recent acquisition of Sempra Renewables LLC.

Each corporate unit represents a 1/20 undivided beneficial ownership interest in $ i 1,000 principal amount of AEP’s 3.40% Junior Subordinated Notes (notes) due in 2024 and a forward equity purchase contract which settles after three years in 2022. The notes are expected to be remarketed in 2022, at which time the interest rate will reset at the then current market rate. Investors may choose to remarket their notes to receive the remarketing proceeds and use those funds to settle the forward equity purchase contract, or accept the remarketed debt and use other funds for the equity purchase. If the remarketing is unsuccessful, investors have the right to put their notes to AEP at a price equal to the

201



principal. The Equity Units carry an annual distribution rate of  i 6.125%, which is comprised of a quarterly coupon rate of interest of 3.40% and a quarterly forward equity purchase contract payment of  i 2.725%.

Each forward equity purchase contract obligates the holder to purchase, and AEP to sell, for $50 a number of shares in common stock in accordance with the conversion ratios set forth below (subject to an anti-dilution adjustment):

If the AEP common stock market price is equal to or greater than $ i 99.58:  i 0.5021 shares per contract.
If the AEP common stock market price is less than $99.58 but greater than $ i 82.98: a number of shares per contract equal to $50 divided by the applicable market price. The holder receives a variable number of shares at $50.
If the AEP common stock market price is less than or equal to $82.98:  i 0.6026 shares per contract.

A holder’s ownership interest in the notes is pledged to AEP to secure the holder’s obligation under the related forward equity purchase contract. If a holder of the forward equity purchase contract chooses at any time to no longer be a holder of the notes, such holder’s obligation under the forward equity purchase contract must be secured by a U.S. Treasury security which must be equal to the aggregate principal amount of the notes.

At the time of issuance, the $805 million of notes were recorded within Long-term Debt on the balance sheets. The present value of the purchase contract payments of $ i 62 million were recorded in Deferred Credits and Other Noncurrent Liabilities with a current portion in Other Current Liabilities at the time of issuance, representing the obligation to make forward equity contract payments, with an offsetting reduction to Paid-in Capital. The difference between the face value and present value of the purchase contract payments will be accreted to Interest Expense on the statements of income over the three year period ending in 2022. The liability recorded for the contract payments is considered non-cash and excluded from the statements of cash flows. Until settlement of the forward equity purchase contract, earnings per share dilution resulting from the equity unit issuance will be determined under the treasury stock method. The maximum amount of shares AEP will be required to issue to settle the purchase contract is  i 9,701,860 shares (subject to an anti-dilution adjustment).

Debt Covenants (Applies to AEP and AEPTCo)

Covenants in AEPTCo’s note purchase agreements and indenture limit the amount of contractually-defined priority debt (which includes a further sub-limit of $ i 50 million of secured debt) to  i 10% of consolidated tangible net assets. AEPTCo’s contractually-defined priority debt was  i 0.1% of consolidated tangible net assets as of September 30, 2019. The method for calculating the consolidated tangible net assets is contractually-defined in the note purchase agreements.

Dividend Restrictions

Utility Subsidiaries’ Restrictions

Parent depends on its utility subsidiaries to pay dividends to shareholders. AEP utility subsidiaries pay dividends to Parent provided funds are legally available. Various financing arrangements and regulatory requirements may impose certain restrictions on the ability of the subsidiaries to transfer funds to Parent in the form of dividends.

All of the dividends declared by AEP’s utility subsidiaries that provide transmission or local distribution services are subject to a Federal Power Act restriction that prohibits the payment of dividends out of capital accounts without regulatory approval; payment of dividends is allowed out of retained earnings only. However, the Federal Power Act creates a reserve on earnings attributable to hydroelectric generation plants. Because of their ownership of such plants, this reserve applies to AGR, APCo and I&M.

Certain AEP subsidiaries have credit agreements that contain covenants that limit their debt to capitalization ratio to 67.5%. The method for calculating outstanding debt and capitalization is contractually-defined in the credit agreements.

The Federal Power Act restriction does not limit the ability of the AEP subsidiaries to pay dividends out of retained earnings.


202



Parent Restrictions (Applies to AEP)

The holders of AEP’s common stock are entitled to receive the dividends declared by the Board of Directors provided funds are legally available for such dividends.  Parent’s income primarily derives from common stock equity in the earnings of its utility subsidiaries.

Pursuant to the leverage restrictions in credit agreements, AEP must maintain a percentage of debt to total capitalization at a level that does not exceed  i 67.5%.  The method for calculating outstanding debt and capitalization is contractually-defined in the credit agreements.

Corporate Borrowing Program - AEP System (Applies to Registrant Subsidiaries)

The AEP System uses a corporate borrowing program to meet the short-term borrowing needs of AEP’s subsidiaries.  The corporate borrowing program includes a Utility Money Pool, which funds AEP’s utility subsidiaries; a Nonutility Money Pool, which funds certain AEP nonutility subsidiaries; and direct borrowing from AEP.  The AEP System Utility Money Pool operates in accordance with the terms and conditions of its agreement filed with the FERC.  The amounts of outstanding loans to (borrowings from) the Utility Money Pool as of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 are included in Advances to Affiliates and Advances from Affiliates, respectively, on the Registrant Subsidiaries’ balance sheets.  The Utility Money Pool participants’ activity and corresponding authorized borrowing limits for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 are described in the following table:

Securitized Accounts Receivables – AEP Credit (Applies to AEP)

AEP Credit has a receivables securitization agreement that provides a commitment of $ i 750 million from bank conduits to purchase receivables and expires in July 2021. Under the securitization agreement, AEP Credit receives financing from the bank conduits for the interest in the receivables AEP Credit acquires from affiliated utility subsidiaries.  These securitized transactions allow AEP Credit to repay its outstanding debt obligations, continue to purchase the operating companies’ receivables and accelerate AEP Credit’s cash collections. Accounts receivable information for AEP Credit was as follows:

Securitized Accounts Receivables – AEP Credit (Applies to Registrant Subsidiaries, except AEP Texas and AEPTCo)

Under this sale of receivables arrangement, the Registrant Subsidiaries sell, without recourse, certain of their customer accounts receivable and accrued unbilled revenue balances to AEP Credit and are charged a fee based on AEP Credit’s financing costs, administrative costs and uncollectible accounts experience for each Registrant Subsidiary’s receivables.  APCo does not have regulatory authority to sell its West Virginia accounts receivable.  The costs of customer accounts receivable sold are reported in Other Operation expense on the Registrant Subsidiaries’ statements of income.  The Registrant Subsidiaries manage and service their customer accounts receivable, which are sold to AEP Credit. AEP Credit securitizes the eligible receivables for the operating companies and retains the remainder.

14.  i VARIABLE INTEREST ENTITIES AND EQUITY METHOD INVESTMENTS

The disclosures in this note apply to AEP only unless indicated otherwise.

 i 
The accounting guidance for “Variable Interest Entities” is a consolidation model that considers if a company has a variable interest in a VIE.  A VIE is a legal entity that possesses any of the following conditions: the entity’s equity at risk is not sufficient to permit the legal entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support, equity owners are unable to direct the activities that most significantly impact the legal entity’s economic performance (or they possess disproportionate voting rights in relation to the economic interest in the legal entity), or the equity owners lack the obligation to absorb the legal entity’s expected losses or the right to receive the legal entity’s expected residual returns. Entities are required to consolidate a VIE when it is determined that they have a controlling financial interest in a VIE and therefore, are the primary beneficiary of that VIE, as defined by the accounting guidance for “Variable Interest Entities.” In determining whether AEP is the primary beneficiary of a VIE, management considers whether AEP has the power to direct the most significant activities of the VIE and is obligated to absorb losses or receive the expected residual returns that are significant to the VIE. Management believes that significant assumptions and judgments were applied consistently.

AEP holds ownership interests in businesses with varying ownership structures. Partnership interests and other variable interests are evaluated to determine if each entity is a VIE, and if so, whether or not the VIE should be consolidated into AEP’s financial statements. If an entity is determined not to be a VIE, or if the entity is determined to be a VIE and AEP is not deemed to be the primary beneficiary, the entity is accounted for under the equity method of accounting. The Variable Interest Entities note within the 2018 Annual Report should be read in conjunction with this report as this note only includes significant changes to AEP’s VIEs and equity method investments during 2019.

Consolidated Variable Interests Entities

Restoration Funding (Applies to AEP and AEP Texas)

Restoration Funding was formed for the sole purpose of issuing and servicing securitization bonds related to storm restoration of AEP Texas’ distribution system primarily due to damage caused by Hurricane Harvey. See “Texas Storm Cost Securitization” section of Note 4 for additional information. Management has concluded that AEP Texas is the primary beneficiary of Restoration Funding because AEP Texas has the power to direct the most significant activities of the VIE and AEP Texas’ equity interest could potentially be significant. Therefore, AEP Texas is required to consolidate Restoration Funding. The securitized bonds totaled $ i 235 million as of September 30, 2019 and are included in Long-term Debt Due Within One Year - Nonaffiliated and Long-term Debt - Nonaffiliated on the balance sheets. Restoration Funding has securitized assets of $ i 235 million as of September 30, 2019 which are presented separately on the face of the balance sheets. The securitized restoration assets represent the right to impose and collect Texas storm restoration costs from customers receiving electric transmission or distribution service from AEP Texas under recovery mechanisms approved by the PUCT. The securitization bonds are payable only from and secured by the securitized assets. The bondholders have no recourse to AEP Texas or any other AEP entity. AEP Texas acts as the servicer for Restoration Fundings’ securitized assets and remits all related amounts collected from customers to Restoration Funding for interest and principal payments on the securitization bonds and related costs. See the table below for the classification of Restoration Fundings’ assets and liabilities on the balance sheets.

Apple Blossom Wind Holdings LLC and Black Oak Getty Wind Holdings LLC

In April 2019, AEP acquired an equity interest in Apple Blossom Wind Holdings LLC (Apple Blossom) and Black Oak Getty Wind Holdings LLC (Black Oak) (the Project Entities) as part of the purchase of Sempra Renewables LLC. Both of the Project Entities have long-term PPAs for 100% of their energy production. The Project Entities are tax equity partnerships with nonaffiliated noncontrolling interests to which a percentage of earnings, tax attributes and cash flows are allocated in accordance with the respective limited liability company agreements. Management has concluded that the Project Entities are VIEs and that AEP is the primary beneficiary based on its power as managing member to direct the activities that most significantly impact the Project Entities’ economic performance. In addition, AEP has not provided material financial or other support to the Project Entities that was not previously contractually required. As the primary beneficiary of the Project Entities, AEP consolidates the Project Entities into its financial statements. See the table below for the classification of Project Entities’ assets and liabilities on the balance sheets.

The nonaffiliated interests in the Project Entities is presented in Noncontrolling Interests on the balance sheets.  As of September 30, 2019, AEP recorded $ i 129 million of Noncontrolling Interests related to the Project Entities in Equity on the balance sheets.

The Project Entities’ tax equity partnerships represent substantive profit-sharing arrangements. The method for attributing income and loss to the noncontrolling interests is a balance sheet approach referred to as the hypothetical liquidation at book value (HLBV) method. Under the HLBV method, the income and loss attributable to the noncontrolling interests reflect changes in the amounts the members would hypothetically receive at each balance sheet date under the liquidation provisions of the respective limited liability company agreements, assuming the net assets of these entities were liquidated at recorded amounts, after taking into account any capital transactions, such as contributions or distributions, between the entities and the members. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, the HLBV method resulted in $ i 0 and a loss of $ i 4 million, respectively, allocated to Noncontrolling Interests.

Santa Rita East

In July 2019, AEP acquired a  i 75% interest in Santa Rita East Wind Energy Holdings, LLC and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Santa Rita East Wind Energy, LLC (collectively, Santa Rita East). Santa Rita East is a partnership whose sole purpose is to own and operate a new  i 302.4 MW wind generation facility in west Texas. Santa Rita East delivers energy and provides renewable energy credits through three long-term PPAs totaling  i 260 MWs. The remaining  i 42.4 MWs of energy are sold at wholesale into ERCOT. Management has concluded that Santa Rita East is a VIE and that AEP is the primary beneficiary based on its power as managing member of the partnership to direct the activities that most significantly impact Santa Rita East’s economic performance. As the primary beneficiary of Santa Rita East, AEP consolidates Santa Rita East into its financial statements. See the table below for the classification of Santa Rita’s assets and liabilities on the balance sheets.
AEP recognized $ i 8 million of PTC attributable to Santa Rita East for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 which was recorded in Income Tax Expense (Benefit) on the statements of income. The nonaffiliated interest in Santa Rita East is presented in Noncontrolling Interests on the balance sheets. As of September 30, 2019, AEP recorded $ i 118 million of Noncontrolling Interests related to Santa Rita East in Equity on the balance sheets.

Significant Equity Method Investments in Unconsolidated Entities

 i 
The equity method of accounting is used for equity investments where AEP exercises significant influence but does not hold a controlling financial interest. Such investments are initially recorded at cost in Deferred Charges and Other Noncurrent Assets on the balance sheets. The proportionate share of the investee’s equity earnings or losses is included in Equity Earnings of Unconsolidated Subsidiaries on the statements of income. AEP regularly monitors and evaluates equity method investments to determine whether they are impaired. An impairment is recorded when the investment has experienced a decline in value that is other-than-temporary in nature.

Sempra Renewables LLC

In April 2019, AEP acquired a  i 50% interest in five wind farms in multiple states as part of the purchase of Sempra Renewables LLC. The wind farms are joint ventures with BP Wind Energy who holds the other  i 50% interest. All five wind farms have long-term PPAs for 100% of their energy production. One of the jointly-owned wind farms has PPAs with I&M and OPCo for a portion of its energy production. Another jointly-owned wind farm has a PPA with SWEPCo for a portion of its energy production. The joint venture wind farms are not considered VIEs and AEP is not required to consolidate them as AEP does not have a controlling financial interest. However, AEP is able to exercise significant influence over the wind farms and therefore applies the equity method of accounting. As of September 30, 2019, AEP’s investment in the five joint venture wind farms was $ i 389 million. The investment includes amounts recognized in AOCI related to interest rate cash flow hedges. The investment is comprised of a historical investment of $ i 417 million plus a basis difference of $( i 19) million. AEP’s equity earnings associated with the five joint venture wind farms were losses of $ i 3 million and $ i 6 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, respectively. AEP recognized $ i 7 million and $ i 21 million of PTC attributable to the joint venture wind farms for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, respectively, which was recorded in Income Tax Expense (Benefit) on the statements of income.


209



ETT

ETT designs, acquires, constructs, owns and operates certain transmission facilities in ERCOT. Berkshire Hathaway Energy, a nonaffiliated entity, holds a  i 50% membership interest in ETT, AEP Transmission Holdco holds a  i 49.5% interest in ETT and AEP Transmission Partner held the remaining  i 0.5% membership interest in ETT. In July 2019, AEP Transmission Partner was merged into AEP Transmission Holdco, increasing AEP Transmission Holdco’s interest in ETT to  i 50%. As a result, AEP, through its wholly-owned subsidiary, holds a 50% membership interest in ETT. As of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, AEP’s investment in ETT was $ i 693 million and $ i 666 million, respectively. AEP’s equity earnings associated with ETT were $ i 16 million and $ i 15 million for the three months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively. AEP’s equity earnings associated with ETT were $ i 49 million and $ i 46 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively.

Contract Assets and Liabilities

Contract assets are recognized when the Registrants have a right to consideration that is conditional upon the occurrence of an event other than the passage of time, such as future performance under a contract. The Registrants did not have material contract assets as of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018.

When the Registrants receive consideration, or such consideration is unconditionally due from a customer prior to transferring goods or services to the customer under the terms of a sales contract, they recognize a contract liability on the balance sheet in the amount of that consideration. Revenue for such consideration is subsequently recognized in the period or periods in which the remaining performance obligations in the contract are satisfied. The Registrants’ contract liabilities typically arise from services provided under joint use agreements for utility poles. The Registrants did not have material contract liabilities as of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018.

Accounts Receivable from Contracts with Customers

Accounts receivable from contracts with customers are presented on the Registrants’ balance sheets within the Accounts Receivable - Customers line item. The Registrants’ balances for receivables from contracts that are not recognized in accordance with the accounting guidance for “Revenue from Contracts with Customers” included in Accounts Receivable - Customers were not material as of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018. See “Securitized Accounts Receivable - AEP Credit” section of Note 13 for additional information related to AEP Credit’s securitized accounts receivable.

CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

During the third quarter of 2019, management, including the principal executive officer and principal financial officer of each of the Registrants, evaluated the Registrants’ disclosure controls and procedures. Disclosure controls and procedures are defined as controls and other procedures of the Registrants that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Registrants in the reports that they file or submit under the Exchange Act are recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Registrants in the reports that they file or submit under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the Registrants’ management, including the principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. As of September 30, 2019, these officers concluded that the disclosure controls and procedures in place are effective and provide reasonable assurance that the disclosure controls and procedures accomplished their objectives.

The only change in the Registrants’ internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the third quarter of 2019 that materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Registrants’ internal control over financial reporting, relates to the Registrants’ conversion of work management, asset management, and source to settle (procurement, supply chain, and accounts payable) business processes to a newly implemented third-party software solution. In connection with this conversion, management will continue to evaluate and monitor the Registrants’ internal controls over financial reporting to ensure controls remain effective. There were no other changes in the Registrants’ internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended September 30, 2019, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Registrants’ internal control over financial reporting.

Item 2.  Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds

Item 4.  Mine Safety Disclosures

The Federal Mine Safety and Health Act of 1977 (Mine Act) imposes stringent health and safety standards on various mining operations. The Mine Act and its related regulations affect numerous aspects of mining operations, including training of mine personnel, mining procedures, equipment used in mine emergency procedures, mine plans and other matters. SWEPCo, through its ownership of DHLC, a wholly-owned lignite mining subsidiary of SWEPCo, is subject to the provisions of the Mine Act.

The Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (Dodd-Frank Act) requires companies that operate mines to include in their periodic reports filed with the SEC, certain mine safety information covered by the Mine Act. Exhibit 95 “Mine Safety Disclosure Exhibit” contains the notices of violation and proposed assessments received by DHLC under the Mine Act for the quarter ended September 30, 2019.
