American Electric Power on Friday, July 20, reported 2012 second-quarter
earnings, prepared in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles
of $362 million, up from $352 million in the second quarter of 2011.
Operating earnings (excluding special items) for
second-quarter 2012 were $370 million, $8 million higher than GAAP earnings
because of a pretax $13 million severance provision recorded in second-quarter
2012 related to the first phase of AEP's cost restructuring program launched
earlier this year, according to AEP's earnings release.
Year-to-date earnings for 2012 were $751 million GAAP
and $759 million operating, up from $705 million GAAP and $744 million
operating last year.
"We had solid financial performance in the second
quarter, driven by warmer than normal weather and our continued disciplined
approach to controlling costs," Nicholas K. Akins, AEP president and CEO,
said in the release. "The economy in our service territories has shown
some signs of improvement, with growth in our western states outpacing that in
our eastern states.
"In operations, severe storms swept through our
eastern states on June 29, causing considerable damage," Akins said.
"At the peak we had more than 1.4 million customers in five states without
power, an unprecedented outage number for AEP. We're proud of the efforts of
our employees, contractors and crews from other utilities who worked long hours
in extreme heat and difficult conditions to restore power to our customers."
