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

EXECUTIVE OVERVIEW

COVID-19

In March 2020, COVID-19 was declared a pandemic by the World Health Organization and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Its rapid spread around the world and throughout the United States prompted many countries, including the United States, to institute restrictions on travel, public gatherings and certain business operations. These restrictions significantly disrupted economic activity in AEP’s service territory and could reduce future demand for energy, particularly from commercial and industrial customers. Although AEP cannot predict the severity or duration of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, AEP currently anticipates a 3.4% reduction in weather-normalized retail sales volume in 2020 as compared to the prior year. During the first half of 2020, AEP experienced a reduction in weather-normalized retail sales volume of 3.1% as compared to the first half of 2019 primarily driven by a 6.6% decrease in the industrial customer class and a 5.0% decrease in the commercial customer class offset by an increase in demand of 1.9% from the residential customer class. The reduction in weather-normalized retail sales volume of 3.1% did not result in a significant decrease in the corresponding retail margins for the six months ended 2020 as the increase in higher margin residential sales volumes partially offset the decreases in the industrial and commercial sales volumes. Furthermore, the rate design for certain industrial customers includes demand provisions designed to cover the fixed portion of utility costs minimizing the impact of the fluctuations in usage on revenues. AEP’s load forecast is highly dependent on many factors including, but not limited to, the extent and duration of the stay at home restrictions, the speed and strength of economic recovery and the extent and duration of the second wave of COVID-19 infection. If the severity of the economic disruption increases, AEP’s future results of operations, financial condition, and cash flows could be further adversely impacted. See Customer Demand for additional information.

During the first quarter of 2020, AEP’s electric operating companies informed both retail customers and state regulators that disconnections for non-payment were temporarily suspended. Disconnections were reinstated in July 2020 in Michigan and Oklahoma. Disconnections are anticipated to be reinstated starting in August or September of 2020 in Tennessee, Texas (applies to SWEPCo jurisdiction only), Louisiana, Virginia, West Virginia, Ohio, and Indiana. Current continuing adverse economic conditions may result in the inability of customers to pay for electric service, which could affect revenue recognition and the collectability of accounts receivable. During the second quarter of 2020, the Registrants reviewed current collections experience with historical trends, specifically reviewing metrics such as customer receivables and cash collections, days sales outstanding, daily customer deposits, and aging summaries. In addition, the Registrants reviewed historical loss information generally comprised of a rolling 12-month average, in conjunction with a qualitative assessment of elements that impact the collectability of receivables, such as changes in economic factors, regulatory matters, industry trends, customer credit factors, payment options and programs available to customers. Based on this review, AEP’s accounts receivable aging was negatively impacted primarily due to the suspension of the customer disconnects. AEP currently does not expect the deterioration in aging to have a material adverse impact on the Registrants’ allowance for uncollectible accounts based on considerations of the recent impacts of COVID-19 and past trends during times of economic instability. Management will continue to monitor developments affecting suspensions of disconnections and its impact on customer collections. Further deterioration in AEP’s ability to collect from its customers could significantly impact AEP’s future results of operations, financial conditions, and cash flows.

In May 2020, AEP Credit amended its receivables securitization agreement to increase the eligibility criteria related to aged receivable requirements for the participating affiliated utility subsidiaries in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. As of June 30, 2020, the affiliated utility subsidiaries are in compliance with all requirements under the agreement. To the extent that an affiliated utility subsidiary is deemed ineligible under the agreement, receivables would no longer be purchased by the bank conduits and the Registrants would need to rely on additional sources of funding for operation and working capital, which may adversely impact liquidity.

1

The Registrants have worked with their state commissions to achieve deferral authority for increased costs incurred due to COVID-19. The majority of these jurisdictions have provided deferral authority for incremental COVID-19 costs including uncollectible expense. Initial COVID-19 orders for deferrals have yet to be issued by Kentucky and Tennessee. If any costs related to COVID-19 are not recoverable, it could reduce future net income and cash flows and impact financial condition.

The effects of the continued COVID-19 pandemic and related government responses could also include extended disruptions to supply chains, reduced labor availability, reduced dispatch for certain generation assets and a prolonged reduction in economic activity. These effects could have a variety of adverse impacts to the Registrants, including their ability to operate their facilities. As of June 30, 2020, there were no material adverse impacts to the Registrants’ operations and supplier contracts due to COVID-19. AEP will continue to monitor developments affecting facility operations and will take additional actions necessary in order to mitigate adverse impacts to the Registrants’ future results of operations, financial condition, and cash flows.

In addition, the economic disruptions caused by COVID-19 could also adversely impact the impairment risks for certain long-lived assets, equity method investments and goodwill. AEP evaluated these impairment considerations and determined that no such impairments occurred as of June 30, 2020.

Market volatility and reduction in collections coupled with longer collection periods due to the expansion of customer payment arrangements could reduce cash from operations and cause an adverse impact to liquidity. During the first six months of 2020, AEP increased its liquidity position to mitigate the market and the collections risk due to COVID-19. The Registrants’ access to funding was limited for a period of time during the first quarter and therefore AEP entered into a $1 billion 364–day term loan to reduce reliance on commercial paper and help mitigate potential future liquidity risks. In addition, for the first six months of 2020, AEP issued approximately $2.4 billion in long-term debt. As of June 30, 2020, AEP’s available liquidity is $2.9 billion. Management believes the Registrants have adequate liquidity under existing credit facilities. In the first quarter of 2020, AEP shifted capital expenditures of $500 million out of 2020 into future periods to further mitigate adverse liquidity impacts. In the second quarter of 2020, AEP reinstated $100 million of capital expenditures back into 2020. To the extent that future access to the capital markets or the cost of funding is adversely affected by COVID-19, future results of operations, financial condition, and cash flows may be adversely impacted.

In March 2020, President Trump signed into law legislation referred to as the "Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act" (the CARES Act). The CARES Act includes tax relief provisions such as: (a) an Alternative Minimum Tax (AMT) Credit Refund, (b) a 5-year net operating losses (NOL) carryback from years 2018-2020 and (c) delayed payment of employer payroll taxes. In May 2020, the House passed the “Health and Economic Recovery Omnibus Emergency Solutions Act” (the HEROES Act) pending decision by the Senate.  If enacted, the HEROES Act would disallow NOL carrybacks to any tax year beginning before January 1, 2018.  As of June 30, 2020, AEP has a $20 million AMT credit refund recognized in anticipation of a refund from the U.S. Treasury. Management is evaluating the ability to recover taxes paid in 2014 under the 5-year NOL carryback provision. The Registrants currently expect to defer payments of the employer share of payroll taxes for the period March 27, 2020 through December 31, 2020 and pay 50% of the obligation by December 31, 2021 and the remaining 50% by December 31, 2022.

The Registrants are taking steps to mitigate the potential risks to customers, suppliers and employees posed by the spread of COVID-19. The Registrants have updated and implemented a company-wide pandemic plan to address specific aspects of COVID-19. This plan guides emergency response, business continuity, and the precautionary measures AEP is taking on behalf of its employees and the public. The Registrants have taken extra precautions for employees who work in the field and for employees who work in their facilities, and have implemented work from home policies where appropriate. The Registrants will continue to monitor developments affecting both their workforce and customers, and will take additional precautions that management determines are necessary in order to mitigate the impacts. AEP continues to focus on providing safe, uninterrupted service to its customers, which includes the implementation of strong physical and cyber-security measures to ensure that its systems remain functional with a partially remote workforce. As of June 30, 2020, there has been no material adverse impact to the Registrants’ business operations and customer service due to remote work. Management will continue to review
2

and modify plans as conditions change. Despite efforts to manage these impacts to the Registrants, the ultimate impact of COVID-19 also depends on factors beyond management’s knowledge or control, including the duration and severity of this outbreak as well as third-party actions taken to contain its spread and mitigate its public health effects. Therefore, management cannot estimate the potential future impact to financial position, results of operations and cash flows, but the impacts could be material.

Customer Demand

AEP’s weather-normalized retail sales volumes for the second quarter of 2020 decreased by 5.9% from the second quarter of 2019. Weather-normalized residential sales increased by 6.2% in the second quarter of 2020 from the second quarter of 2019. AEP’s second quarter 2020 industrial sales volumes decreased by 12.4% compared to the second quarter of 2019. The decline in industrial sales was spread across many industries. Weather-normalized commercial sales decreased 10.1% in the second quarter of 2020 from the second quarter of 2019.

AEP’s weather-normalized retail sales volumes for the six months ended June 30, 2020 decreased by 3.1% compared to the six months ended June 30, 2019. Weather-normalized residential sales increased by 1.9% for the six months ended June 30, 2020 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2019. AEP’s industrial sales volumes for the six months ended June 30, 2020 decreased 6.6% compared to the six months ended June 30, 2019. The decline in industrial sales was spread across many industries. Weather-normalized commercial sales decreased 5% for the six months ended June 30, 2020 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2019.

As a result of the impact of COVID-19, AEP revised its forecast for 2020 weather-normalized retail sales volumes in April 2020 from the forecast presented in the 2019 10-K. In 2020, AEP currently anticipates weather-normalized retail sales volumes will decrease by 3.4%. AEP expects industrial class sales volumes to decrease by 8% in 2020, while weather-normalized residential sales volumes are projected to increase by 3%. Finally, AEP currently projects weather-normalized commercial sales volumes to decrease by 5.6%.

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.

•2017-2019 Virginia Triennial Review - In March 2020, APCo submitted its 2017-2019 Virginia triennial earnings review filing and base rate case with the Virginia SCC as required by state law. APCo requested a $65 million annual increase in base rates based upon a proposed 9.9% ROE. Triennial reviews are subject to an earnings test, which provides that 70% of any earnings in excess of 70 basis points above APCo’s Virginia SCC authorized ROE would be refunded to customers. In such case, the Virginia SCC could also lower APCo’s Virginia retail base rates on a prospective basis. Virginia law provides that costs associated with asset impairments of retired coal generation assets, or automated meters, or both, which a utility records as an expense, shall be attributed to the test periods under review in a triennial review proceeding, and be deemed recovered. In 2015, APCo retired the Sporn Plant, the Kanawha River Plant, the Glen Lyn Plant, Clinch River Unit 3 and the coal portions of Clinch River Units 1 and 2 (collectively, the retired coal-fired generation assets). The net book value of these plants at the retirement date was $93 million before cost of removal, including materials and supplies inventory and ARO balances. Based on management’s interpretation of Virginia law and more certainty regarding APCo’s triennial revenues, expenses and resulting earnings upon reaching the end of the three-year review period, APCo recorded a pretax expense of $93 million related to its previously retired coal-fired generation assets in December 2019. As a result, management deems these costs to be substantially recovered by APCo during the triennial review period. Inclusive of the $93 million expense associated with APCo’s Virginia jurisdictional retired coal-fired generation assets, APCo calculated its Virginia earnings for the triennial period to be below the authorized ROE range. In July 2020, a certain intervenor filed testimony asserting that APCo had a revenue surplus of $23 million for its filed rate year based upon the intervenor’s recommended ROE of 8.75%. In addition, this intervenor contends APCo’s earned return for the Triennial period was 11.12%, which equates to $59 million in earnings (subject to 70% refund provision described above) above the top of the ROE range on a revenue basis. This intervenor also filed a separate legal memorandum opposing the inclusion of the 2019 expensing of the retired coal-fired generation assets from APCo’s 2017-2019 earnings test results. See “2017-2019 Virginia Triennial Review” section of Note 4 for a full listing of proposed adjustments and disallowances by intervenors.

•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 January 2019, SWEPCo and the PUCT filed petitions for review with the Texas Supreme Court. In the fourth quarter of 2019 and first quarter of 2020, SWEPCo and various intervenors filed briefs with the Texas Supreme Court. As of June 30, 2020, the net book value of Turk Plant was $1.4 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 (HB 6) which offers incentives for power-generating facilities with zero or reduced carbon emissions was signed into law by the Ohio Governor.  HB 6 phased out current energy efficiency including lost shared savings revenues of $26 million annually and renewable mandates no later than 2020 and after 2026, respectively.  HB 6 also provided for the recovery of existing renewable energy contracts on a bypassable basis through 2032 and included 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. In July 2020, an investigation led by the U.S. Attorney’s Office resulted in a federal grand jury indictment of the Speaker of the Ohio House of Representatives, Larry Householder, four other individuals, and Generation Now, an entity registered as a
4

501(c)(4) social welfare organization, in connection with a racketeering conspiracy involving the adoption of HB 6. In light of the allegations in the indictment, proposed legislation has been introduced that would repeal HB 6. The outcome of the U.S. Attorney’s Office investigation and its impact on HB 6 is not known. If the provisions of HB 6 were to be eliminated, it is unclear whether and in what form the Ohio General Assembly would pass new legislation addressing similar issues. Management is currently unable to predict the outcome of the proposed legislation and will continue to monitor the legislative process. 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.

•In April 2020, the Virginia Clean Economy Act was signed into law by the Virginia Governor and became effective in July 2020. The law includes the following requirements: (a) Virginia electric utilities to retire no later than 2045 all electric generating units located in Virginia that emit carbon as a by-product, (b) APCo to produce 100% of the company’s power to serve Virginia customers from renewable sources by 2050 with increasing percentages of mandatory renewable energy sources each year and (c) Virginia electric utilities to achieve increasing annual energy efficiency savings from 2022-2025 using 2019 as the base year. This law also provides that if the Virginia SCC finds in any triennial review that revenue reductions related to energy efficiency programs approved and deployed since the utility's previous triennial review have caused the utility to earn more than 70 basis points below its authorized rate of return, the Virginia SCC shall order increases to the utility's rates necessary to recover such revenue reductions. If any of these costs are not recoverable, it could reduce future net income and cash flows and impact financial condition.

Utility Rates and Rate Proceedings

The Registrants file rate cases with their regulatory commissions in order to establish fair and appropriate electric service rates to recover their costs and earn a fair return on their investments. The outcomes of these regulatory proceedings impact the Registrants’ current and future results of operations, cash flows and financial position.

The following tables show the Registrants’ completed and pending base rate case proceedings in 2020. See Note 4 - Rate Matters for additional information.

Completed Base Rate Case Proceedings

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.

As of June 30, 2020, subsidiaries within AEP’s Generation & Marketing segment had approximately 1,423 MWs of contracted renewable generation projects in-service.  In addition, as of June 30, 2020, these subsidiaries had approximately 160 MWs of renewable generation projects under construction with total estimated capital costs of $235 million related to these projects.

Regulated Renewable Generation Facilities

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.  PSO will own 45.5% and SWEPCo will own 54.5% of the project, which will cost approximately $2 billion.  Under prior IRS guidance establishing the “Continuity Safe Harbor” for purposes of the federal PTC, two wind facilities, totaling 1,286 MWs, would have qualified for 80% of the federal PTC with year-end 2021 in-service dates and the third wind facility (199 MWs) would have qualified for 100% of the PTC with a year-end 2020 in-service date. In May 2020, the IRS issued a notice extending the “Continuity Safe Harbor” deadlines for qualifying renewable energy projects that began construction in 2016 and 2017 by one year as many projects are facing supply chain and other project development delays borne by COVID-19. Under the May 2020 IRS notice, qualifying renewable energy projects that began construction in 2016 and 2017 and which are placed in-service by the end of 2021 and 2022, respectively, will satisfy the Continuous Efforts Safe Harbor. As a result of this change by the IRS, the three North Central Wind Energy Facilities projects each have an additional year to achieve commercial operations under the “Continuity Safe Harbor,” should there be a delay in the development of the projects.

In February 2020, the OCC approved PSO’s settlement agreement. In May 2020, the APSC approved the settlement agreement as filed, with the exception that SWEPCo use its formula rate rider to recover its costs rather than the requested rider. Also in May 2020, the LPSC approved the settlement agreement as filed. Both the APSC and LPSC approved the flex-up option, agreeing to acquire the Texas portion, which the PUCT denied in July 2020. With having regulatory approval and the IRS extension of the “Continuity Safe Harbor,” PSO and SWEPCo are proceeding with the full 1,485MW development of these three projects.

Hydroelectric Generation

Evaluating Sale of Hydroelectric Generation

In March 2020, management placed 10 hydroelectric generation plants under study for a potential sale. In April 2020, the Virginia Clean Economy Act was signed into law by the Virginia Governor. The new law will provide renewable credits to APCo for its existing hydroelectric generation plants. As a result of the new law, management removed the three APCo hydroelectric generation plants (London, Marmet and Winfield) from the list of plants identified for potential sale. The table below shows the net book value of each plant, including CWIP and materials and supplies, before cost of removal of the remaining plants included in the study.

Owner		Plant Name		Units		State		Net Book Value as of June 30, 2020		Net Maximum
Capacity (MWs)		Year Plant or First Unit Commissioned	
								(in millions)					
AGR		Racine		2		OH		$	57.9 	 		48 	 		1982	
I&M		Berrien Springs		12		MI		7.7 	 		6 	 		1908	
I&M		Buchanan		10		MI		5.0 	 		3 	 		1919	
I&M		Constantine		4		MI		2.6 	 		1 	 		1921	
I&M		Elkhart		3		IN		5.5 	 		3 	 		1913	
I&M		Mottville		4		MI		2.8 	 		2 	 		1923	
I&M		Twin Branch Hydro		8		IN		7.0 	 		5 	 		1904	
		Total		 		 		$	88.5 	 		68 	 		 	

If management decides to proceed with the sale of these plants, FERC approval would be required. In addition, for all plants, except for Racine, state commission approval would be required. Management currently estimates that any potential sale of these plants would not be completed until late 2020 at the earliest. There is no assurance that management will be able to sell any of these plants.

Dolet Hills Power Station and Related Fuel Operations

During the second quarter of 2019, the Dolet Hills Power Station initiated a seasonal operating schedule. In January 2020, in accordance with the terms of SWEPCo’s settlement of its base rate review filed with the APSC, management announced that SWEPCo will seek regulatory approval to retire the Dolet Hills Power Station by the end of 2026. DHLC provides 100% of the fuel supply to Dolet Hills Power Station. After careful consideration of current economic conditions, and particularly for the benefit of their customers, management of SWEPCo and CLECO determined DHLC would not proceed developing additional Oxbow Lignite Company (Oxbow) mining areas for future lignite extraction and ceased extraction of lignite at the mine in May 2020. Based on these actions, management revised the estimated useful life of DHLC’s and Oxbow’s assets to coincide with the date at which extraction was discontinued and the date at which delivery of lignite is expected to cease in September 2021. Management also revised the useful life of the Dolet Hills Power Station to September 2021 based on the remaining estimated fuel supply available for continued seasonal operation. In March 2020, primarily due to the revision in the useful life of DHLC, SWEPCo recorded a revision to increase estimated ARO liabilities by $21 million. In April 2020, SWEPCo and CLECO jointly filed a notification letter to the LPSC providing notice of the cessation of lignite mining.

7

The Dolet Hills Power Station costs are recoverable by SWEPCo through base rates. SWEPCo’s share of the net investment in the Dolet Hills Power Station is $154 million, including CWIP and materials and supplies, before cost of removal.

Fuel costs incurred by the Dolet Hills Power Station are recoverable by SWEPCo through active fuel clauses. Under the Lignite Mining Agreement, DHLC bills SWEPCo its proportionate share of incurred lignite extraction and associated mining-related costs as fuel is delivered. As of June 30, 2020, DHLC has unbilled lignite inventory and fixed costs of $94 million that will be billed to SWEPCo prior to the closure of the Dolet Hills Power Station. In 2009, SWEPCo acquired interests in Oxbow, which owns mineral rights and leases land. Under a Joint Operating Agreement pertaining to the Oxbow mineral rights and land leases, Oxbow bills SWEPCo its proportionate share of incurred costs. As of June 30, 2020, Oxbow has unbilled fixed costs of $11 million that will be billed to SWEPCo prior to the closure of the Dolet Hills Power Station. DHLC and Oxbow have billed SWEPCo $49 million for lignite deliveries from April 2020 through June 2020, which primarily includes accelerated depreciation and amortization of fixed costs. Additional operational and land-related costs are expected to be incurred by DHLC and Oxbow and billed to SWEPCo prior to the closure of the Dolet Hills Power Station and recovered through fuel clauses.

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

FERC Transmission ROE Methodology

In November 2019, the FERC issued Opinion No. 569, which adopted a revised methodology for determining whether an existing base ROE is just and reasonable under Federal Power Act and determined the base ROE for MISO’s transmission-owning members should be reduced from 12.38% to 9.88%. In May 2020, FERC issued Opinion 569-A, granting rehearing on several issues. Opinion 569, as modified by Opinion 569-A, results in a revised ROE methodology that relies on three financial models. The financial models used to establish a composite zone of reasonableness are the: (a) discounted cash flow model, (b) capital asset pricing model and (c) risk premium model. Order 569-A determined the base ROE for MISO’s transmission-owning members should be 10.02% (10.52% inclusive of the RTO incentive adder of 0.5%). Management believes FERC Opinion Nos. 569 and 569-A change the expectation of a four-model framework proposed by FERC in 2018 and vetted widely in FERC 2019 Notice of Inquiry regarding base ROE policy. Management does not believe this ruling will have a material impact on financial results for its MISO transmission owning subsidiaries.

In the second quarter of 2019, FERC approved settlement agreements establishing base ROEs of 9.85% (10.35% inclusive of RTO incentive adder of 0.5%) and 10% (10.5% inclusive of RTO incentive adder of 0.5%) for AEP’s PJM and SPP transmission-owning subsidiaries, respectively. In March 2020, as a follow-up to its 2019 Notice of Inquiry regarding transmission incentives policy, FERC issued a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking and requested comments by July 2020. AEP has filed comments and will monitor this proceeding.

If FERC makes any changes to its ROE and incentive policies, they would be applied, as applicable, to AEP’s PJM and SPP transmission owning subsidiaries on a prospective basis, and could affect future net income and cash flows and impact financial condition.

AFUDC Waiver

In June 2020, FERC granted a temporary waiver providing utilities the option to elect to modify the existing AFUDC rate calculations in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. As a result of the waiver, the AFUDC formula for the 12-month period starting with March 2020 may be calculated using the simple average of the actual historical short-term debt balances for 2019, instead of current period short-term balances. All other aspects of the AFUDC formula remained unchanged. AEP subsidiaries including certain Registrant Subsidiaries elected to apply the waiver in July 2020. The impact of the waiver is immaterial on the Registrants’ financial statements for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020.

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’s stay expired in February 2020, but the court later extended the stay through August 13, 2020. 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 is 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 losses that is reasonably possible of occurring.

Claims Challenging Transition of American Electric Power System Retirement Plan to Cash Balance Formula 

The American Electric Power System Retirement Plan (the Plan) has received a letter written on behalf of four participants (the Claimants) making a claim for additional plan benefits and purporting to advance such claims on behalf of a class. When the Plan’s benefit formula was changed in the year 2000, AEP provided a special provision for employees hired before January 1, 2001, allowing them to continue benefit accruals under the then benefit formula for a full 10 years alongside of the new cash balance benefit formula then being implemented.  Employees who were hired on or after January 1, 2001 accrued benefits only under the new cash balance benefit formula.  The Claimants have asserted claims that (a) the Plan violates the requirements under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA) intended to preclude back-loading the accrual of benefits to the end of a participant’s career; (b) the Plan violates the age discrimination prohibitions of ERISA and the Age Discrimination in Employment Act (ADEA); and (c) the company failed to provide required notice regarding the changes to the Plan.  AEP has responded to the Claimants providing a reasoned explanation for why each of their claims have been denied. The denial of those claims was appealed to the AEP System Retirement Plan Appeal Committee and the Committee upheld the denial of claims. Management will continue to defend against the claims.  Management is unable to determine a range of potential losses that are 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 and in response to rules governing the beneficial use and disposal of coal combustion by-products, clean water 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.

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 June 30, 2020, the AEP System had generating capacity of approximately 24,700 MWs, of which approximately 12,600 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 future investment to meet these existing and proposed requirements ranges from approximately $500 million to $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.

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 Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) technology at Rockport Plant, Unit 2 until June 2020. Construction of the SCR technology was completed by June 1, 2020, testing was conducted, and the unit was released for dispatch on June 5, 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 (DSI) 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 Federal EPA is currently reviewing both of these standards. A proposed rule to retain the existing PM standards was released in April 2020. 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.

The Federal EPA finalized non-attainment designations for the 2015 ozone standard in 2018. The Federal EPA 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 were filed in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit. In August 2019, the court upheld the 2015 primary ozone standard, but remanded the secondary welfare-based standard for further review. The court
11

vacated the Federal EPA’s determination that CSAPR fulfilled the states’ interstate transport obligations, because the Federal EPA’s modeling analysis did not demonstrate that all significant contributions would be eliminated by the attainment deadlines for downwind states. Any further changes will require additional rulemaking. 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 certain 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.

The Federal EPA initially disapproved portions of the Arkansas regional haze SIP, but has approved a revised SIP and all of SWEPCo's affected units are in compliance with the relevant 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 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. In November 2019, in response to comment, the Federal EPA proposed revisions to the intrastate trading program. The Federal EPA finalized the intrastate trading program in July 2020. Management supports the intrastate trading program 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. Any further changes to the CSAPR rule will require additional rulemaking.

12

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. In April 2020, the Federal EPA released a final rule adopting the conclusions set forth in the proposal and retaining the existing MATS standards.

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 of 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 repeal of the CPP and promulgation of a 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. Information collection and rulemaking activities are underway in several states. State plans are required to be submitted in 2022, and the Federal EPA has up to two years to review and approve a plan or disapprove it and adopt a federal plan. The final ACE rule has been challenged in the courts.

13

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. AEP 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.  In April 2020, Virginia enacted clean energy legislation to allow the state to participate in the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative, require the retirement of all fossil-fueled generation by 2045 and require 100% renewable energy to be provided to Virginia customers by 2050. 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 2019 were approximately 58 million metric tons, a 65% reduction from AEP’s 2000 CO2 emissions. AEP has made significant progress in reducing CO2 emissions from its power generation fleet and expects its emissions to continue to decline. AEP’s aspirational emissions goal is zero CO2 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 two 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. In November 2019, the Federal EPA proposed revisions to implement the
14

court’s decision regarding the timing for closure of unlined surface impoundments along with impoundments not meeting the required distance from an aquifer. The comment period closed in January 2020. In December 2019, the Federal EPA proposed a federal permit program, implementing the Water Infrastructure Improvements for the Nation Act, that would apply in states that do not have an approved CCR program.

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. In April 2020, the Supreme Court issued an opinion remanding one of these cases to the Ninth Circuit based on its determination that discharges from an injection well that make their way to the Pacific Ocean through ground water may require a permit if the distance traveled through ground water, length of time to reach the surface water and other factors make it “functionally equivalent” to a direct discharge from a point source. The second case was also remanded to the lower court. Prior to the Supreme Court’s decision, 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 these developments 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. Additional ARO revisions will occur on a site-by-site basis if groundwater monitoring activities conclude that corrective actions are required to mitigate groundwater impacts, which could include costs to remove ash from some unlined units.

In March 2020, Virginia’s Governor signed House Bill 443 (HB 443), effective July 2020, requiring APCo to close certain ash disposal units at the retired Glen Lyn Station by removal of all coal combustion material.  As a result, in June 2020, APCo recorded a $199 million revision to increase estimated Glen Lyn Station ash disposal ARO liabilities.  The closure is required to be completed within 15 years from the start of the excavation process.  HB 443 provides for the recovery of all costs associated with closure by removal through the Virginia environmental rate adjustment clause (E-RAC).  APCo may begin recovering these costs through the E-RAC beginning July 1, 2022.  APCo is permitted to record carrying costs on the unrecovered balance of closure costs at a weighted average cost of capital approved by the Virginia SCC. HB 443 also allows any closure costs allocated to non-Virginia jurisdictional customers, but not collected from such non-Virginia jurisdictional customers, to be recovered from Virginia jurisdictional customers through the E-RAC.

If removal of ash is required without providing similar assurances of cost recovery in regulated jurisdictions, it would impose significant additional operating costs on AEP, which could lead to increased financing costs and liquidity needs. Other units in Virginia, Ohio, West Virginia, and Kentucky already have been closed in place in accordance with state law programs. Management will continue to participate in rulemaking activities and make adjustments based on new federal and state requirements affecting its ash disposal units.

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.

15

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 for those wastewater categories to be no earlier than 2020, to allow for reconsideration. In April 2019, the Fifth Circuit vacated the standards for landfill leachate and legacy wastewater, and remanded them to the Federal EPA for reconsideration.  In November 2019, the Federal EPA proposed revisions to the guidelines for existing generation facilities. The comment period ended in January 2020. 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. Various parties challenged the 2015 rule in different U.S. District Courts, which resulted in a patchwork of applicability of the 2015 rule and its predecessor. In December 2018, the Federal EPA and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers proposed a replacement rule. In September 2019, the Federal EPA repealed the 2015 rule. The final replacement rule was published in the Federal Register in April 2020 and became effective in June 2020. The final rule limits the scope of CWA jurisdiction to four categories of waters, and clarifies exclusions for ground water, ephemeral streams, artificial ponds and waste treatment systems. Challenges to the final rule and requests for a preliminary injunction have been brought by states and other groups in multiple U.S. District Courts. At this time, none of the jurisdictions in which AEP operates are impacted by a stay. Management is monitoring these various proceedings but is unable to predict the actions of the various courts.

In April 2020, the U.S. District Court for the District of Montana issued a decision vacating the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers’ (Corps) General Nationwide Permit 12 (NWP 12), which provides standard conditions governing linear utility projects in streams, wetlands and other waters of the United States having minimal adverse environmental impacts. The Court found that in reissuing NWP 12 in 2017, the Corps failed to comply with Section 7 of the Endangered Species Act (ESA), which requires the Corps to consult with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service regarding potential impacts on endangered species. The Court remanded the permit back to the Corps to complete its ESA consultation, and also enjoined the Corps from authorizing any dredge or fill activities under NWP 12 pending completion of the consultation process. The Department of Justice filed a motion to stay the injunction and tailor the remedy imposed by the Court. In May 2020, the Court revised its order lifting the injunction for non-oil and gas pipeline construction activities and routine maintenance, inspection and repair activities on existing NWP 12 projects. The Department of Justice appealed the Court’s decision to the Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit and moved for stay pending appeal, which was denied. In June 2020, the Department of Justice submitted an application to the U.S. Supreme Court requesting a stay of the District Court’s Order, and the Court granted the request with respect to all oil and gas pipelines except the Keystone Pipeline. Management is monitoring the litigation and evaluating other permitting alternatives, but is currently unable to predict the impact of future proceedings on current and planned projects.

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

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.

Second Quarter of 2020 Compared to Second Quarter of 2019

Earnings Attributable to AEP Common Shareholders increased from $461 million in 2019 to $521 million in 2020 to primarily due to:

•A planned decrease in Other Operation and Maintenance expenses.
•Favorable rate proceedings in AEP’s various jurisdictions.

Six Months Ended June 30, 2020 Compared to Six Months Ended June 30, 2019

Earnings Attributable to AEP Common Shareholders decreased from $1,034 million in 2019 to $1,016 million in 2020 primarily due to:

•A decrease in weather-related usage.
•A one-time reversal of a regulatory provision in 2019.

These decreases were partially offset by:

•Favorable rate proceedings in AEP’s various jurisdictions.
•A planned decrease in Other Operation and Maintenance expenses.

AEP’s results of operations by operating segment are discussed below.

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 $47 million primarily due to the following:
•A $19 million increase in weather-normalized retail margins driven by a $48 million increase in the residential customer class partially offset by a $28 million decrease in the commercial and industrial customer classes.
•A $17 million increase in weather-related usage primarily in the eastern region and primarily in the residential class.
•The effect of rate proceedings in AEP’s service territories which included:
•A $13 million increase at SWEPCo primarily due to rider increases in all jurisdictions and a base rate revenue increase in Arkansas.
•An $8 million increase at I&M primarily due to the Indiana and Michigan base rate cases, partially offset by a decrease in revenue riders. This increase was partially offset in other expense items below.
•A $6 million increase due to a decrease in customer refunds related to Tax Reform. This increase was partially offset in Income Tax Expense below.
•A $6 million increase in deferred fuel at APCo primarily due to the timing of recoverable PJM expenses. This increase was offset in other expense items below.
•A $5 million increase at APCo and WPCo due to the WVPSC’s approval of the Mitchell Plant surcharge effective January 2020.
These increases were partially offset by:
•A $19 million decrease in weather-normalized margins for wholesale customers primarily at I&M.
•A $5 million decrease in revenue from rate riders at PSO. This decrease was partially offset in other expense items below.
21

•Margins from Off-system Sales decreased $4 million due to WPCo’s historical merchant portion of Mitchell Plant moving to base rates beginning January 2020 and weaker market prices for energy in the RTOs which caused a significant decrease in sales volume and margins.
•Transmission Revenues increased $46 million primarily due to the following:
•A $36 million increase at SWEPCo as a result of the annual transmission formula rate true-up. This increase was partially offset by an increase in transmission expenses in SPP.
•A $10 million increase at SWEPCo due to continued investment in transmission projects.

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

•Other Operation and Maintenance expenses decreased $60 million primarily due to the following:
•A $30 million decrease in employee-related expenses.
•A $27 million decrease in plant outage and maintenance expenses primarily at APCo, KPCo and PSO.
•An $18 million decrease due to PJM transmission services including the annual formula rate true-up.
•A $13 million decrease due to the capitalization of previously expensed North Central Wind Energy Facilities costs at SWEPCo and PSO.
These decreases were partially offset by:
•A $28 million increase due to SPP transmission services including the annual formula rate true-up.
•A $12 million increase due to storms at KPCo and APCo.
•Depreciation and Amortization expenses increased $34 million primarily due to a higher depreciable base and increased depreciation rates approved at I&M and SWEPCo. This increase was partially offset in Retail Margins above.
•Allowance for Equity Funds Used During Construction decreased $7 million primarily due to a decrease in the AFUDC base primarily at I&M and APCo.
•Income Tax Expense increased $23 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 and emissions allowances, and purchased electricity were as follows:

•Retail Margins increased $53 million primarily due to the following:
•A $20 million increase in deferred fuel at APCo primarily due to the timing of recoverable PJM expenses. This increase was offset in other expense items below.
•A $16 million increase due to a decrease in customer refunds related to Tax Reform. This increase was partially offset in Income Tax Expense below.
•A $14 million increase due to the impact of the 2019 WVPSC order which required APCo and WPCo to offset Excess ADIT not subject to normalization requirements against the deferred fuel under-recovery balance in 2019.
•The effect of rate proceedings in AEP’s service territories which included:
•A $32 million increase at I&M primarily due to the Indiana and Michigan base rate cases. This increase was partially offset in other expense items below.
•A $21 million increase at SWEPCo primarily due to rider increases in all jurisdictions and a base rate revenue increase in Arkansas.
•A $10 million increase at PSO due to new base rates implemented in April 2019.
•A $10 million increase at APCo due to a base rate increase in West Virginia that was partially offset in Depreciation and Amortization expenses below.
•A $10 million increase at APCo and WPCo due to the WVPSC’s approval of the Mitchell Plant surcharge effective January 1, 2020.

23

•A $44 million decrease in weather-related usage primarily in the eastern region and primarily in the residential class.
•A $23 million decrease in weather-normalized margins for wholesale contracts primarily at I&M.
•A $9 million decrease in weather-normalized retail margins driven by a $51 million decrease in the commercial and industrial classes partially offset by a $44 million increase in the residential customer class.
•A $6 million decrease in revenue from rate riders at PSO. This decrease was partially offset in other expense items below.
•Margins from Off-system Sales decreased $9 million due to WPCo’s historical merchant portion of Mitchell Plant moving to base rates beginning January 2020 and weaker market prices for energy in the RTOs which caused a significant decrease in sales volume and margins.
•Transmission Revenues increased $52 million primarily due to the following:
•A $36 million increase at SWEPCo as a result of the annual transmission formula rate true-up. This increase was partially offset by an increase in transmission expenses in SPP.
•A $16 million increase at SWEPCo due to continued investment in transmission projects.

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

•A $33 million increase due to SPP transmission services including the annual formula rate true-up.
•An $11 million increase due to storms at KPCo and APCo
•Depreciation and Amortization expenses increased $60 million primarily due to a higher depreciable base and increased depreciation rates approved at APCo, I&M and SWEPCo. This increase was partially offset in Retail Margins above.
•Taxes Other Than Income Taxes increased $5 million primarily due to the following:
•A $5 million increase at APCo and WPCo in West Virginia business and occupational taxes.
•A $4 million increase in property taxes driven by an increase in utility plant.
These increases were partially offset by:
•A $3 million decrease in payroll taxes.
•Allowance for Equity Funds Used During Construction decreased $10 million primarily driven by FERC audit findings recorded in 2019 and a decrease in the AFUDC base primarily at I&M and APCo.
•Interest Expense increased $4 million primarily due to higher long-term debt balances at APCo.

•A $10 million decrease in Ohio 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.
•A $10 million decrease in weather-normalized margins primarily in the commercial class partially offset by the residential class.
•A $9 million decrease due to the OVEC PPA Rider which was replaced by the Legacy Generation Resource Rider (LGRR). This decrease was offset in Margins from Off-system Sales and Other Revenues below.
•A $7 million net decrease in margin in Ohio for the Rate Stability Rider including associated amortizations which ended in the third quarter of 2019.
•A $7 million decrease due to refunds of Excess ADIT not subject to normalization requirements in Texas. This decrease was offset in Income Tax Expense below.
•A $5 million decrease due to a PUCO order to refund unused 2018 major storm reserve collections to customers. This decrease was offset in Other Operation and Maintenance expenses below.

27

•Margins from Off-system Sales decreased $17 million primarily due to the following:
•A $20 million decrease in Texas primarily due to lower Oklaunion Power Station PPA revenues. This decrease was offset in Other Operation and Maintenance expenses below.
This decrease was partially offset by:
•A $7 million increase in Ohio primarily due to higher OVEC PPA deferrals. This increase was offset in Retail Margins above.
•Transmission Revenues increased $4 million primarily due to the following:
•A $10 million increase in Ohio due to the annual transmission formula rate true-up.
•A $10 million increase due to recovery of increased transmission investment in ERCOT.
This increase was partially offset by:
•A $17 million decrease in Texas due to a one-time credit to transmission customers as a result of Tax Reform and the most recent base rate case. This decrease was offset in Income Tax Expense below.
•Other Revenues increased $14 million primarily due to securitization revenue in Texas. This increase was offset below in Depreciation and Amortization expenses and in Interest Expense.

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

•Other Operation and Maintenance expenses decreased $59 million primarily due to the following:
•A $67 million decrease due to prior year partial amortization of the AEP Texas Storm Restoration Securitization regulatory asset as a result of the AEP Texas Storm Cost Securitization financing order issued by the PUCT in June 2019. This decrease was offset in Income Tax Expense below.
•A $34 million decrease in PJM expenses primarily related to the annual transmission formula rate true-up.
•A $17 million decrease due to the revision of the Oklaunion Power Station ARO. This decrease was offset in Margins for Off-System Sales above.
•A $5 million decrease due to a PUCO order to refund unused 2018 major storm reserve collections to customers. This decrease was offset in Retail Margins above.
These decreases were partially offset by:
•A $66 million increase in PJM expenses that were fully recovered in rate riders/trackers in Gross Margin above.
•A $3 million increase in remitted Universal Service Fund (USF) surcharge payments to the Ohio Department of Development to fund an energy assistance program for qualified Ohio customers. This increase was offset in Retail Margins above.
•Depreciation and Amortization expenses increased $14 million primarily due to the following:
•A $7 million increase in depreciation expense due to an increase in the depreciable base of transmission and distribution assets.
•A $7 million increase in securitization amortizations in Texas. This increase was offset in Other Revenues above and in Interest Expense below.
•A $5 million increase due to lower deferred equity amortizations associated with the Deferred Asset Phase-In-Recovery Rider in Ohio which ended in the second quarter of 2019.
•A $3 million increase in Ohio recoverable DIR depreciation expense. This increase was partially offset in Retail Margins above.
These increases were partially offset by:
•A $10 million decrease in amortizations associated with the Deferred Asset Phase-In-Recovery Rider in Ohio which ended in the second quarter of 2019. This decrease was offset in Retail Margins above.
•Interest Expense increased $27 million primarily due to the prior year deferral of previously recorded interest expense approved for the recovery as a result of the Texas Storm Cost Securitization financing order issued by the PUCT in June 2019.
•Income Tax Expense increased $38 million primarily due to the prior year amortization of Excess ADIT not subject to normalization requirements as approved in the Texas Storm Cost Securitization financing order issued by the PUCT in 2019 and an increase in pretax book income. This increase was partially offset in Gross Margins and Other Operation and Maintenance Expenses above.

FINANCIAL CONDITION

AEP measures financial condition by the strength of its balance sheet and the liquidity provided by its cash flows.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Debt and Equity Capitalization

 	June 30, 2020		December 31, 2019	
 	(dollars in millions)	
Long-term Debt, including amounts due within one year	$	28,775.4 	 		55.2 	%		$	26,725.5 	 		54.1 	%	
Short-term Debt	3,076.6 	 		5.9 	 		2,838.3 	 		5.7 	 	
Total Debt	31,852.0 	 		61.1 	 		29,563.8 	 		59.8 	 	
AEP Common Equity	20,007.4 	 		38.4 	 		19,632.2 	 		39.6 	 	
Noncontrolling Interests	270.8 	 		0.5 	 		281.0 	 		0.6 	 	
Total Debt and Equity Capitalization	$	52,130.2 	 		100.0 	%		$	49,477.0 	 		100.0 	%	

AEP’s ratio of debt-to-total capital increased from 59.8% as of December 31, 2019 to 61.1% as of June 30, 2020 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 June 30, 2020, 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. There was increased volatility in the capital markets during the first quarter of 2020 resulting in higher commercial paper cost and limited access. To address these issues and the uncertainty around COVID-19, in March 2020, AEP entered into a $1 billion 364-day Term Loan and borrowed the full amount.

Net Available Liquidity

AEP manages liquidity by maintaining adequate external financing commitments.  As of June 30, 2020, available liquidity was approximately $2.9 billion as illustrated in the table below:

		Amount		Maturity	
Commercial Paper Backup:	(in millions)			
	Revolving Credit Facility	$	4,000.0 	 		June 2022	
 	364-Day Term Loan	1,000.0 	 		March 2021	
Cash and Cash Equivalents	348.8 	 		 	
Total Liquidity Sources	5,348.8 	 		 	
Less:	AEP Commercial Paper Outstanding	1,403.5 	 		 	
 	364-Day Term Loan	1,000.0 	 		 	
					
Net Available Liquidity	$	2,945.3 	 		 	

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 six months of 2020 was $3 billion.  The weighted-average interest rate for AEP’s commercial paper during 2020 was 1.80%.
39

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 June 30, 2020 was $192 million with maturities ranging from July 2020 to July 2021.

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.

In May 2020, AEP Credit amended its receivables securitization agreement to increase the eligibility criteria related to aged receivable requirements for the participating affiliated utility subsidiaries in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. As of June 30, 2020, the affiliated utility subsidiaries are in compliance with all requirements under the agreement. To the extent that an affiliated utility subsidiary is deemed ineligible under the agreement, receivables would no longer be purchased by the bank conduits and the Registrants would need to rely on additional sources of funding for operation and working capital, which may adversely impact liquidity.

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 June 30, 2020, this contractually-defined percentage was 59.2%.  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 acquisition of Sempra Renewables LLC. See Note 12 - Financing Activities for additional information.

40

Dividend Policy and Restrictions

The Board of Directors declared a quarterly dividend of $0.70 per share in July 2020. 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 12 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.

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 $55 million primarily due to the following:
•A $409 million decrease in cash from the Change in Certain Components of Working Capital.  The decrease is primarily due to timing of accounts receivable, an increase in employee-related payments and a decrease in current year employee-related expenses. These decreases were partially offset by an increased refund from the Department of Energy in the current year for SNF.
This decrease in cash was partially offset by:
•A $212 million increase in cash from Net Income, after non-cash adjustments. See Results of Operations for further detail.
•An $87 million increase in the fair value of risk management contracts due to pricing movement in the commodities markets.
•A $39 million increase in Deferred Fuel Over/Under-Recovery, Net primarily due to over-recoveries at I&M and SWEPCo due to decreased fuel costs partially offset by an under-recovery at PSO as a result of lower rates.
•A $36 million increase in Property Taxes primarily due to increased amortizations of prepaid property taxes at OPCo and AEP Ohio Transmission Company, Inc. as a result of increased investments and higher tax rates.

BUDGETED CAPITAL EXPENDITURES

Management currently estimates $5.9 billion of capital expenditures for 2020 and forecasts approximately $34.9 billion of capital expenditures for 2020 to 2024. Management has revised the capital expenditure forecast for 2020 to 2024 to include approximately $2 billion of capital expenditures for North Central Wind Energy Facilities. 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 2019 Annual Report.

CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATION INFORMATION

A summary of contractual obligations is included in the 2019 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, Executive Vice President of Utilities, 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.  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.

The effects of COVID-19 may adversely impact AEP’s risk management contracts on a forward basis. Markets could experience reduced market liquidity as they face potential uncertainties. Credit risk may increase as counterparties encounter business and supply chain disruptions and overall solvency challenges. Also, interest rates could continue to see increased volatility as capital markets confront uncertainty.

(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 June 30, 2020, credit exposure net of collateral to sub investment grade counterparties was approximately 7.2%, 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).
45

As of June 30, 2020, the following table approximates AEP’s counterparty credit quality and exposure based on netting across commodities, instruments and legal entities where applicable:

Total as of June 30, 2020		$	619.8 	 		$	10.5 	 		$	609.3 	 					

All exposure in the table above relates to AEPSC and AEPEP as AEPSC is agent for and transacts on behalf of AEP subsidiaries, including the Registrant Subsidiaries and AEPEP is agent for and transacts on behalf of other AEP subsidiaries.

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 June 30, 2020, 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:

VaR Model

$	0.9 	 		$	1.4 	 		$	0.8 	 		$	0.1 	 		$	0.2 	 		$	8.5 	 		$	1.1 	 		$	0.2 	 	

46

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.

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 six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, a 100 basis point change in the benchmark rate on AEP’s variable rate debt would impact pretax interest expense annually by $17 million and $24 million, respectively.

Second Quarter of 2020 Compared to Second Quarter of 2019

Reconciliation of Second Quarter of 2019 to Second Quarter of 2020	
Net Income	
(in millions)	
	
Second Quarter of 2019		$	80.6 	 	
 		 	
Changes in Gross Margin:			
Retail Margins		(15.4)	 	
Margins from Off-system Sales		(19.6)	 	
Transmission Revenues		(6.7)	 	
Other Revenues		10.5 	 	
Total Change in Gross Margin		(31.2)	 	
 		 	
Changes in Expenses and Other:		 	
Other Operation and Maintenance		85.1 	 	
Depreciation and Amortization		(9.9)	 	

Interest Income		(0.6)	 	
	
Allowance for Equity Funds Used During Construction		3.5 	 	
	
Interest Expense		(22.7)	 	
Total Change in Expenses and Other		55.4 	 	
 		 	
Income Tax Benefit		(37.9)	 	
 		 	
Second Quarter of 2020		$	66.9 	 	

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

•Retail Margins decreased $15 million primarily due to the following:
•A $10 million decrease in weather-normalized margins primarily in the commercial class.
•A $7 million decrease due to refunds of Excess ADIT not subject to normalization requirements. This decrease was offset in Income Tax Benefit below.
These decreases were partially offset by:
•A $4 million increase due to the change in the recording of merger savings as authorized by the PUCT in the most recent base rate case.
•Margins for Off-system Sales decreased $20 million primarily due to lower Oklaunion Power Station PPA revenues. This decrease was offset in Other Operation and Maintenance expenses below.
•Transmission Revenues decreased $7 million primarily due to:
•A $17 million decrease due to a one-time credit to transmission customers as a result of Tax Reform and the most recent base rate case. This decrease was offset in Income Tax Benefit below.
This decrease was partially offset by:
•A $10 million increase due to recovery of increased transmission investment in ERCOT.
•Other Revenues increased $11 million primarily due to securitization revenue. This increase was offset below in Depreciation and Amortization expenses and in Interest Expense.

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

•Other Operation and Maintenance expenses decreased $85 million primarily due to the following:
•A $67 million decrease due to prior year partial amortization of the AEP Texas Storm Restoration Securitization regulatory asset as a result of the AEP Texas Storm Cost Securitization financing order issued by the PUCT in June 2019. This decrease was offset in Income Tax Benefit below.
•A $17 million decrease due to the revision of the Oklaunion Power Station ARO. This decrease was offset in Margins for Off-System Sales above.
56

•Depreciation and Amortization expenses increased $10 million primarily due to the following:
•A $7 million increase in securitization amortizations. This increase was offset in Other Revenues above and in Interest Expense below.
•A $3 million increase in depreciation expense due to an increase in the depreciable base of transmission and distribution assets.
•Allowance for Equity Funds Used During Construction increased $4 million due to an increase in the Equity component of AFUDC as a result of lower short-term balances and increased transmission projects.
•Interest Expense increased $23 million primarily due to the prior year 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.
•Income Tax Benefit decreased $38 million primarily due to the prior year amortization of Excess ADIT not subject to normalization requirements as approved in the Texas Storm Cost Securitization financing order issued by the PUCT in 2019 and an increase in pretax book income. This decrease was partially offset above in Gross Margins and in Other Operation and Maintenance expenses.

Income Tax Benefit		(41.3)	 	
 		 	
Six Months Ended June 30, 2020		$	114.5 	 	

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 $4 million primarily due to the following:
•A $6 million increase in revenues associated with the Transmission Cost Recovery Factor revenue rider.
•A $5 million increase in weather-normalized margins primarily driven by the residential class partially offset by a decrease in the industrial class.
•A $4 million increase due to the change in the recording of merger savings as authorized by the PUCT in the most recent base rate case.
These increases were partially offset by:
•A $7 million decrease due to refunds of Excess ADIT not subject to normalization requirements. This decrease was offset in Income Tax Benefit below.
•A $4 million decrease in weather-related usage primarily due to a 46% decrease in heating degree days.
•Margins from Off-system Sales decreased $20 million primarily due to lower Oklaunion Power Station PPA revenues. This decrease was offset in Other Operation and Maintenance expenses below.
•Transmission Revenues increased $5 million primarily due to the following:
•A $22 million increase primarily due to recovery of increased transmission investment in ERCOT.
This increase was partially offset by:
•A $17 million decrease due to a one-time credit to transmission customers as a result of Tax Reform and the most recent base rate case. This decrease was offset in Income Tax Benefit below.
•Other Revenues increased $22 million primarily due to securitization revenue. This increase was offset below in Depreciation and Amortization expenses and in Interest Expense.

58

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

•Other Operation and Maintenance expenses decreased $82 million primarily due to the following:
•A $67 million decrease due to prior year partial amortization of the AEP Texas Storm Restoration Securitization regulatory asset as a result of the AEP Texas Storm Cost Securitization financing order issued by the PUCT in June 2019. This decrease was offset in Income Tax Benefit below.
•A $17 million decrease due to the revision of the Oklaunion Power Station ARO. This decrease was offset in Margins for Off-System Sales above.
•Depreciation and Amortization expenses increased $34 million primarily due to the following:
•A $19 million increase in securitization amortizations. This increase was offset in Other Revenues above and in Interest Expense below.
•A $14 million increase in depreciation expense due to an increase in the depreciable base of transmission and distribution assets.
•Allowance for Equity Funds Used During Construction increased $7 million primarily due to an increase in the Equity component of AFUDC as a result of lower short-term balances and increased transmission projects.
•Interest Expense increased $28 million primarily due to:
•A $19 million increase due to the prior year 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 $5 million increase due to higher long-term debt balances.
•Income Tax Benefit decreased $41 million primarily due to the prior year amortization of Excess ADIT not subject to normalization requirements as approved in the Texas Storm Cost Securitization financing order issued by the PUCT in 2019 and an increase in pretax book income. This decrease was partially offset above in Gross Margins and in Other Operation and Maintenance expenses.

Second Quarter of 2020		$	73.7 	 	

The major components of the decrease in transmission revenues, which consists of wholesale sales to affiliates and nonaffiliates were as follows:

•Transmission Revenues decreased $29 million primarily due to the following:
•A $62 million decrease as a result of the affiliated annual transmission formula rate true-up which is offset in Other Operation and Maintenance expense across the other Registrant subsidiaries.
•A $17 million decrease as a result of the non-affiliated annual transmission formula rate true-up.
These decreases were partially offset by:
•A $50 million increase due to continued investment in transmission assets.

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

•Depreciation and Amortization expenses increased $16 million primarily due to a higher depreciable base.
•Taxes Other Than Income Taxes increased $8 million primarily due to higher property taxes as a result of increased transmission investment.
67

•Allowance for Equity Funds Used During Construction decreased $10 million primarily due to the following:
•A $12 million decrease driven by the favorable impact of a FERC settlement agreement recorded in 2019.
•A $2 million decrease due to lower CWIP.
These decreases were partially offset by:
•A $4 million increase driven by FERC audit findings recorded in 2019.
•Interest Expense increased $11 million primarily due to higher long-term debt balances.
•Income Tax Expense decreased $14 million primarily due to lower pretax book income.

The major components of the increase in transmission revenues, which consists of wholesale sales to affiliates and nonaffiliates were as follows:

•Transmission Revenues increased $23 million primarily due to the following:
•A $102 million increase due to continued investment in transmission assets.
This increase was partially offset by:
•A $62 million decrease as a result of the affiliated annual transmission formula rate true-up which is offset in Other Operation and Maintenance expense across the other Registrant subsidiaries.
•A $17 million decrease as a result of the non-affiliated annual transmission formula rate true-up.

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

•Other Operation and Maintenance expenses increased $9 million primarily due to the following:
•A $5 million increase in employee-related expenses.
•A $4 million increase in rent expense.
•Depreciation and Amortization expenses increased $32 million primarily due to a higher depreciable base.
•Taxes Other Than Income Taxes increased $17 million primarily due to higher property taxes as a result of increased transmission investment.
•Allowance for Equity Funds Used During Construction decreased $5 million primarily due to the following:
•A $12 million decrease driven by the favorable impact of a FERC settlement agreement recorded in 2019.
•A $6 million decrease due to lower CWIP.
These decreases were partially offset by:
•A $13 million increase driven by FERC audit findings recorded in 2019.
•Interest Expense increased $19 million primarily due to higher long-term debt balances.
•Income Tax Expense decreased $10 million primarily due to lower pretax book income.

Reconciliation of Second Quarter of 2019 to Second Quarter of 2020	
Net Income	
(in millions)	
	
Second Quarter of 2019		$	55.5 	 	
 		 	
Changes in Gross Margin:		 	
Retail Margins		13.5 	 	
Margins from Off-system Sales		(1.4)	 	
Transmission Revenues		(7.2)

Second Quarter of 2020		$	81.3 	 	

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 $14 million primarily due to the following:
•A $6 million increase due to a decrease in customer refunds related to Tax Reform. This increase was partially offset in Income Tax Expense below.
•A $6 million increase in deferred fuel primarily due to the timing of recoverable PJM expenses. This increase was offset in other expense items below.
•A $4 million increase due to the WVPSC’s approval of the Mitchell Plant surcharge effective January 2020.
These increases were partially offset by:
•A $5 million decrease in weather-normalized margins primarily in the commercial and industrial classes, partially offset in residential.
•Transmission Revenue decreased $7 million primarily due to the annual transmission formula rate true-up.

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

•Other Operation and Maintenance expenses decreased $45 million primarily due to the following:
•A $24 million decrease in PJM expenses primarily related to the annual transmission formula rate true-up.
•A $12 million decrease as a result of prior year contributions to benefit low income West Virginia residential customers as a result of the West Virginia Tax Reform settlement. This decrease was offset in Income Tax Expense below.
•An $11 million decrease in maintenance expense at various generation plants.
•A $7 million decrease in employee-related expenses.
These decreases were partially offset by:
•A $13 million increase in recoverable PJM transmission expenses which were partially offset within Retail Margins above.
77

•Income Tax Expense increased $11 million primarily due to a decrease in amortization of Excess ADIT and an increase in pretax book income. The decrease in amortization of Excess ADIT is partially offset above in Gross Margin and 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 $28 million primarily due to the following:
•A $23 million increase due to a decrease in customer refunds related to Tax Reform. This increase was partially offset in Income Tax Expense below.
•A $20 million increase in deferred fuel primarily due to the timing of recoverable PJM expenses. This increase was offset in other expense items below.
•A $12 million increase due to the impact of the 2019 WVPSC order which required APCo to offset Excess ADIT not subject to normalization requirements against the deferred fuel under-recovery balance in 2019.
•A $10 million increase due to a base rate increase in West Virginia. This increase was partially offset in Depreciation and Amortization expenses below.
•An $8 million increase due to the WVPSC’s approval of the Mitchell Plant surcharge effective January 2020.
These increases were partially offset by:
•A $34 million decrease in weather-related usage primarily driven by a 20% decrease in cooling degree days and a 15% decrease in heating degree days.
•A $13 million decrease in weather-normalized margins primarily in the commercial and industrial classes, partially offset in residential.
•Transmission Revenues decreased $6 million primarily due to the annual transmission formula rate true-up.
79

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

•Other Operation and Maintenance expenses decreased $59 million primarily due to the following:
•A $29 million decrease in PJM expenses primarily related to the annual transmission formula rate true-up.
•A $16 million decrease in employee-related expenses.
•A $16 million decrease in maintenance expense at various generation plants.
•A $14 million decrease as a result of prior year contributions to benefit low income West Virginia residential customers as a result of the West Virginia Tax Reform settlement. This decrease was offset in Income Tax Expense below.
These decreases were partially offset by:
•An $18 million increase in recoverable PJM transmission expenses. This increase is partially offset within Retail Margins above.
•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. This increase was partially offset within Retail Margins above.
•Interest Expense increased $6 million primarily due to higher long-term debt balances.
•Income Tax Expense increased $46 million primarily due to a decrease in amortization of Excess ADIT and an increase in pretax book income. The decrease in amortization of Excess ADIT is partially offset above in Gross Margin and Other Operation and Maintenance expenses.

Second Quarter of 2020		$	63.8 	 	

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 $14 million primarily due to the following:
•An $11 million increase in weather-related usage primarily due to a 23% increase in cooling degree days and 58% increase in heating degree days.
•An $11 million increase in weather-normalized retail margins.
•An $8 million increase primarily due to the Indiana and Michigan base rate cases, partially offset by a decrease in revenue riders. This increase was partially offset in other expense items below.
These increases were partially offset by:
•A $14 million decrease in weather-normalized wholesale margins.
•Transmission Revenues increased $6 million primarily due to the annual transmission formula rate true-up and increased investment in transmission assets.
•Other Revenues decreased $6 million primarily due to a decrease in barging revenues by River Transportation Division (RTD). This decrease was partially offset in Other Operation and Maintenance expenses below.

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

•Other Operation and Maintenance expenses decreased $15 million primarily due to the following:
•An $8 million decrease in nonutility operation expenses primarily due to a decrease in RTD expenses. This decrease was partially offset in Other Revenues above.
•A $4 million decrease in employee-related expenses.
•A $2 million decrease in vegetation management expenses.
•A $2 million decrease in transmission expenses primarily due to the annual transmission formula rate true-up partially offset by an increase in recoverable PJM expenses. This decrease was partially offset in Transmission Revenues above.
89

•Depreciation and Amortization expenses increased $18 million primarily due to a higher depreciable base and an increase in depreciation rates. This increase was partially offset in Retail Margins above.
•Other Income decreased $3 million primarily due to a decrease in the AFUDC base.
•Income Tax Expense increased $5 million primarily due to an increase in pretax book income, a decrease in favorable flow-through tax benefits and an increase in state income 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 $17 million primarily due to the following:
•A $32 million increase primarily due to the Indiana and Michigan base rate cases. This increase was partially offset in other expense items below.
This increase was partially offset by:
•A $17 million decrease in weather-normalized wholesale margins.
•Transmission Revenues increased $7 million primarily due to the annual transmission formula rate true-up and increased investment in transmission assets.
•Other Revenues decreased $7 million primarily due to a decrease in barging revenues by RTD. This decrease was partially offset in Other Operation and Maintenance expenses below.

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

•Other Operation and Maintenance expenses decreased $20 million primarily due to the following:
•An $11 million decrease in employee-related expenses.
•A $9 million decrease in nonutility operation expenses primarily due to a decrease in RTD expenses. This decrease was partially offset in Other Revenues above.
•A $7 million decrease due to an increased Nuclear Electric Insurance Limited distribution in 2020.
•A $4 million decrease in vegetation management expenses.
•A $2 million decrease in Cook Plant refueling outage amortization expense, primarily due to decreased costs of outages.
These decreases were partially offset by:
•A $10 million increase in transmission expenses primarily due to an increase in recoverable PJM expenses, partially offset by the annual transmission formula rate true-up. This increase was partially offset in Transmission Revenues above.
91

•Depreciation and Amortization expenses increased $26 million primarily due to a higher depreciable base and an increase in depreciation rates. This increase was partially offset in Retail Margins above.
•Other Income decreased $6 million primarily driven by a favorable impact of a FERC settlement agreement recorded in 2019 and a decrease in the AFUDC base.
•Income Tax Expense increased $8 million primarily due to a decrease in favorable flow-through tax benefits and an increase in state income tax expense.

Second Quarter of 2020		$	80.9 	 	

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

•Retail Margins increased $43 million primarily due to the following:
•A $61 million net increase in Basic Transmission Cost Rider revenues and recoverable PJM expenses. This increase was partially offset in Other Operation and Maintenance expenses below.
•A $13 million increase in rider revenues associated with the DIR. This increase was partially offset in other expense items below.
•A $5 million increase in revenues associated with smart grid riders. This increase was partially offset in other expense items below.
•A $3 million increase in revenues associated with the Universal Service Fund (USF). This increase was offset in Other Operation and Maintenance expenses below.
These increases were partially offset by:
•A $10 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.
•A $9 million decrease due to the OVEC PPA rider which was replaced by the Legacy Generation Resource Rider (LGRR). This decrease was offset in Margins from Off-system Sales and Other Revenues below.
•A $7 million net decrease in margin for the Rate Stability Rider including associated amortizations which ended in the third quarter of 2019.
•A $5 million decrease due to a PUCO order to refund unused 2018 major storm reserve collections to customers. This decrease was offset in Other Operation and Maintenance expenses below.
•A $3 million decrease in revenues associated with a vegetation management rider. This decrease was partially offset in Other Operation and Maintenance expenses below.
•Margins from Off-system Sales increased $5 million primarily due to higher OVEC PPA deferrals. This increase was offset in Retail Margins above.
•Transmission Revenues increased $18 million primarily due to the annual transmission formula rate true-up.
101

•Other Revenues increased $3 million primarily due to third-party LGRR revenue related to the recovery of OVEC costs. This increase was offset in Retail Margins above.

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

•Other Operation and Maintenance expenses increased $25 million primarily due to the following:
•A $66 million increase in recoverable PJM expenses. This increase was offset in Gross Margin above.
•A $3 million increase in remitted USF surcharge payments to the Ohio Department of Development to fund an energy assistance program for qualified Ohio customers. This increase was offset in Retail Margins above.
These increases were partially offset by:
•A $34 million decrease in PJM expenses primarily related to the annual transmission formula rate true-up.
•A $5 million decrease due to a PUCO order to refund unused 2018 major storm reserve collections to customers. This decrease was offset in Retail Margins above.
•Depreciation and Amortization expenses increased $4 million primarily due to the following:
•A $5 million increase due to lower deferred equity amortizations associated with the Deferred Asset Phase-In-Recovery Rider which ended in the second quarter of 2019.
•A $5 million increase in depreciation expense due to an increase in the depreciable base of transmission and distribution assets.
•A $3 million increase in recoverable DIR depreciation expense. This increase was partially offset in Retail Margins above.
These increases were partially offset by:
•A $10 million decrease in amortizations associated with the Deferred Asset Phase-In-Recovery Rider which ended in the second quarter of 2019. This decrease was offset in Retail Margins above.
•Interest Expense increased $5 million primarily due to higher long-term debt balances.
•Income Tax Expense increased $1 million due to an increase in pretax book income partially offset by an increase in amortization of Excess ADIT and the recognition of a discrete tax adjustment. The increase in amortization of Excess ADIT is partially offset in Retail Margins above.

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 $50 million primarily due to the following:
•A $58 million decrease due to a reversal of a regulatory provision in the first quarter of 2019.
•A $23 million decrease in Deferred Asset Phase-In-Recovery Rider revenues which ended in the second quarter of 2019. This decrease was partially offset in Depreciation and Amortization expenses below.
•A $15 million net decrease in margin for the Rate Stability Rider including associated amortizations which ended in the third quarter of 2019.
•A $14 million decrease due to the OVEC PPA rider which was replaced by the Legacy Generation Resource Rider (LGRR). This decrease was offset in Margins from Off-system Sales and Other Revenues below.

103

•Margins from Off-system Sales increased $7 million primarily due to:
•A $14 million increase due to higher OVEC PPA deferrals. This increase was offset in Retail Margins above.
This increase was partially offset by:
•A $9 million decrease in sales due to lower market prices and decreased sales volumes in 2020. This decrease was offset in Retail Margins above.
•Transmission Revenues increased $18 million primarily due to the annual transmission formula rate true-up.
•Other Revenues increased $9 million primarily due to third-party LGRR revenue related to the recovery of OVEC costs. This increase was offset in Retail Margins above.

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

•Other Operation and Maintenance expenses decreased $15 million primarily due to the following:
•A $40 million decrease in PJM expenses primarily related to the annual formula rate true-up.
•A $6 million decrease in customer-related expenses.
•A $5 million decrease due to a PUCO order to refund unused 2018 major storm reserve collections to customers. This decrease was offset in Retail Margins above.
•A $5 million decrease in recoverable distribution expenses related to vegetation management. This decrease was offset in Retail Margins above.
•A $4 million decrease in employee-related expenses.
These decreases were partially offset by:
•A $25 million increase in recoverable PJM expenses. This increase was offset in Gross Margin above.
•A $10 million increase in remitted USF surcharge payments to the Ohio Department of Development to fund an energy assistance program for qualified Ohio customers. This increase was offset in Retail Margins above.
•A $4 million increase in Energy Efficiency/Peak Demand Reduction expenses. This increase was offset in Retail Margins above.
•A $4 million increase in recoverable storm expense. This increase was offset in Retail Margins above.
•Depreciation and Amortization expenses increased $11 million primarily due to the following:
•A $10 million increase due to lower deferred equity amortizations associated with the Deferred Asset Phase-In-Recovery Rider which ended in the second quarter of 2019.
•A $10 million increase in depreciation expense due to an increase in the depreciable base of transmission and distribution assets.
•An $8 million increase in recoverable DIR depreciation expense. This increase was partially offset in Retail Margins above.
•A $5 million increase in recoverable smart grid expense. This increase was offset in Retail Margins above.
These increases were partially offset by:
•A $21 million decrease in amortizations associated with the Deferred Asset Phase-In-Recovery Rider which ended in the second quarter of 2019. This decrease was offset in Retail Margins above.
•Taxes Other Than Income Taxes increased $5 million primarily due to the following:
•A $10 million increase in property taxes driven by additional investments in transmission and distribution assets and higher tax rates.
This increase was partially offset by:
•A $3 million decrease in excise taxes due to lower demand in 2020. This decrease was offset in Retail Margins above.
•Allowance for Equity Funds Used During Construction decreased $5 million primarily due to adjustments that resulted from 2019 FERC audit findings and a decrease in AFUDC base.
•Interest Expense increased $9 million primarily due to higher long-term debt balances.
•Income Tax Expense decreased $9 million due to a decrease in pretax book income and the recognition of a discrete tax adjustment.

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 $6 million primarily due to the following:
•A $7 million increase in weather-normalized margins.
•A $6 million increase in weather-related usage due to a 10% increase in cooling degree days.
These increases were partially offset by:
•A $5 million decrease in revenue from rate riders. This decrease was partially offset in other expense items below.
•Other Revenues increased $5 million primarily due to business development revenue. This increase was partially offset in other expense items below.

Expenses and Other changed between years as follows:

•Other Operation and Maintenance expenses increased $3 million primarily due the following:
•A $9 million increase in transmission expenses primarily due to increased SPP transmission services.
•A $4 million increase in business development expenses. This increase was offset in Other Revenues above.
These increases were partially offset by:
•A $5 million decrease in maintenance expenses at various generation plants.
•A $5 million decrease due to the capitalization of previously expensed North Central Wind Energy Facilities costs.

Six Months Ended June 30, 2020		$	36.1 	 	
(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 $6 million primarily due to the following:
•A $10 million increase due to new base rates implemented in April 2019.
•A $5 million increase in weather-normalized margins.
•A $3 million increase in weather-related usage due to a 15% increase in cooling degree-days.
These increases were partially offset by:
•A $6 million decrease in revenue from rate riders. This decrease was partially offset in other expense items below.
•A $6 million decrease due to customer refunds related to Tax Reform. This decrease was partially offset in Income Tax Expense below.
•Other Revenues increased $4 million primarily due to business development revenue. This increase was partially offset in other expense items below.

Expenses and Other changed between years as follows:

•Other Operation and Maintenance expenses increased $19 million primarily due to the following:
•A $15 million increase in transmission expenses primarily due to increased SPP transmission services.
•A $4 million increase in business development expenses. This increase was offset in Other Revenues above.
•A $3 million increase in vegetation management expenses.
These increases were partially offset by:
•A $4 million decrease due to the capitalization of previously expensed North Central Wind Energy Facilities costs.
•Depreciation and Amortization expenses increased $3 million primarily due to a higher depreciable base.

(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 $17 million primarily due to the following:
•A $13 million increase primarily due to rider increases in all jurisdictions and a base rate revenue increase in Arkansas.
•A $6 million increase in municipal and cooperative revenues primarily due to formula rate adjustments.
•Transmission Revenues increased $49 million primarily due to the following:
•A $36 million increase as a result of the annual transmission formula rate true-up. This increase was partially offset by an increase in transmission expenses in SPP.
•A $10 million increase due to continued investment in transmission projects.

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

•Other Operation and Maintenance expenses decreased $3 million primarily due to the following:
•An $8 million decrease due to the capitalization of previously expensed North Central Wind Energy Facilities costs.
•A $6 million decrease in generation expenses.
•A $4 million decrease in customer-related expenses.
•A $2 million decrease in overhead line maintenance primarily related to storm restoration.
These decreases were partially offset by:
•An $18 million increase in SPP transmission expenses. This increase was offset in Transmission Revenues above.
123

•Depreciation and Amortization expenses increased $6 million primarily due to a higher depreciable base and an increase in Arkansas depreciation rates beginning in January 2020. This increase was partially offset within Retail Margins above.
•Income Tax Expense increased $8 million primarily due to an increase in pretax book income partially offset with an increase in amortization of Excess ADIT. The increase in amortization of Excess ADIT was partially offset in Retail Margins above.

•A $21 million increase primarily due to rider increases in all jurisdictions and a base rate revenue increase in Arkansas.
•A $6 million increase in municipal and cooperative revenues primarily due to formula rate adjustments.
These increases were partially offset by:
•A $9 million decrease in weather-normalized margins.
•A $7 million decrease in weather-related usage primarily due to a 29% decrease in heating degree days.
•Transmission Revenues increased $53 million primarily due to the following:
•A $36 million increase as a result of the annual transmission formula rate true-up. This increase was partially offset by an increase in transmission expenses in SPP.

1.  SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING MATTERS

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

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 six months ended June 30, 2020 is not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2020.  The condensed financial statements are unaudited and should be read in conjunction with the audited 2019 financial statements and notes thereto, which are included in the Registrants’ Annual Reports on Form 10-K as filed with the SEC on February 20, 2020.

COVID-19

In March 2020, COVID-19 was declared a pandemic by the World Health Organization and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.  Its rapid spread around the world and throughout the United States prompted many countries, including the United States, to institute restrictions on travel, public gatherings and certain business operations.  These restrictions continue to significantly disrupt economic activity in AEP’s service territory and could reduce future demand for energy, particularly from commercial and industrial customers.  The Registrants are taking steps to mitigate the potential risks to customers, suppliers and employees posed by the spread of COVID-19. 

As of June 30, 2020 and through the date of this report, the Registrants assessed certain accounting matters that require consideration of forecasted financial information, including, but not limited to, the allowance for credit losses and the carrying value of long-lived assets.  While there were not any impairments or significant increases in credit allowances resulting from these assessments for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, the ultimate impact of COVID-19 also depends on factors beyond management’s knowledge or control, including the duration and severity of this outbreak as well as third-party actions taken to contain its spread and mitigate its public health effects. Therefore, management cannot estimate the potential future impact to financial position, results of operations and cash flows, but the impacts could be material.

Voluntary Retirement Incentive Program

In June 2020, AEP announced a voluntary retirement incentive program. Eligible employees may volunteer for retirement from the date of the announcement through July 6, 2020, with most having an effective retirement date of August 1, 2020. Participating employees will receive up to six months base pay and a medical premium subsidy. Certain participating employees will also receive a long-term incentive plan grant, with immediate vesting, of AEP common shares. A total of 200 employees participated in the voluntary retirement program. In August 2020, AEP will record a charge to expense of $13 million primarily related to lump sum salary payments and cash subsidies. AEP also will record a charge to expense of $5 million related to the incremental Long-Term Incentive Plan grants issued related to this initiative. Approximately 92% of the expense was within the AEPSC and will be allocated among affiliated entities including Registrant Subsidiaries.

134

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 table presents AEP’s basic and diluted EPS calculations included on the statements of income:

	Three Months Ended June 30,	
	2020		2019	
	(in millions, except per share data)	
	 		$/share				$/share	

Earnings Attributable to AEP Common Shareholders	$	520.8 	 		 		$	461.3 	 		 	
								
Weighted Average Number of Basic Shares Outstanding	495.7 	 		$	1.05 	 		493.6 	 		$	0.93 	 	
Weighted Average Dilutive Effect of Stock-Based Awards	1.6 	 		— 	 		1.8 	 		— 	 	
Weighted Average Number of Diluted Shares Outstanding	497.3 	 		$	1.05 	 		495.4 	 		$	0.93 	 	

	Six Months Ended June 30,	
	2020		2019	
	(in millions, except per share data)	
			$/share				$/share	

Earnings Attributable to AEP Common Shareholders	$	1,016.0 	 				$	1,034.1 	 			
								
Weighted Average Number of Basic Shares Outstanding	495.1 	 		$	2.05 	 		493.4 	 		$	2.10 	 	
Weighted Average Dilutive Effect of Stock-Based Awards	1.9 	 		(0.01)	 		1.5 	 		(0.01)	 	
Weighted Average Number of Diluted Shares Outstanding	497.0 	 		$	2.04 	 		494.9 	 		$	2.09 	 	

Equity Units issued in March 2019 are potentially dilutive securities but were excluded from the calculation of diluted EPS for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, as the dilutive stock price threshold was not met. See Note 12 - Financing Activities for more information related to Equity Units.

There were 156 thousand and 0 antidilutive shares outstanding as of June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. The antidilutive shares were excluded from the calculation of diluted EPS.

Restricted Cash (Applies to AEP, AEP Texas and APCo)

Restricted Cash primarily included funds held by trustee for the payment of securitization bonds and contractually restricted deposits held for the future payment of the remaining construction activities at Santa Rita East.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Allowance for Uncollectible Accounts

Generally, AEP Credit records bad debt expense based upon a 12-month rolling average of bad debt write-offs in proportion to gross accounts receivable purchased from participating AEP subsidiaries. The assessment is performed separately by each participating AEP subsidiary, which inherently contemplates any differences in geographical risk characteristics for the allowance. For receivables related to APCo’s West Virginia operations, the bad debt reserve is calculated based on a rolling two-year average write-off in proportion to gross accounts receivable. For customer accounts receivables relating to risk management activities, accounts receivables are reviewed for bad debt reserves at a specific counterparty level basis. For AEP Texas, bad debt reserves are calculated using the specific identification of receivable balances greater than 120 days delinquent, and for those balances less than 120 days where the collection is doubtful. For miscellaneous accounts receivable, bad debt expense is recorded based upon a 12-month rolling average of bad debt write-offs in proportion to gross accounts receivable, unless specifically identified. In addition to these processes, management contemplates available current information, as well as any reasonable and supportable forecast information, to determine if allowances for uncollectible accounts should be further adjusted in accordance with the accounting guidance for “Credit Losses.” Management’s assessments contemplate expected losses over the life of the accounts receivable.

2. NEW 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 2016-13 “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. Entities are required to evaluate, and if necessary, recognize expected credit losses at the inception or initial acquisition of a financial instrument (or pool of financial instruments that share similar risk characteristics) subject to ASU 2016-13, and subsequently as of each reporting date. The new standard also revises the other-than-temporary impairment model for available-for-sale debt securities.

New standard implementation activities included: (a) the identification and evaluation of the population of financial instruments within the AEP system that are subject to the new standard, (b) the development of supporting valuation models to also contemplate appropriate metrics for current and supportable forecasted information and (c) the development of disclosures to comply with the requirements of ASU 2016-13. As required by ASU 2016-13, the financial instruments subject to the new standard were evaluated on a pool-basis to the extent such financial instruments shared similar risk characteristics.

Management adopted ASU 2016-13 and its related implementation guidance effective January 1, 2020, by means of an immaterial cumulative-effect adjustment to Retained Earnings on the balance sheets. The adoption of the new standard did not have a material impact to financial position and had no impact on the results of operations or cash flows. Additionally, the adoption of the new standard did not result in any changes to current accounting systems.

ASU 2020-04 “Reference Rate Reform: Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting” (ASU 2020-04)

In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04 providing guidance to ease the potential burden in accounting for Reference Rate Reform on financial reporting. The new standard is elective and applies to all entities, subject to meeting certain criteria, that have contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions that reference the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) or another reference rate expected to be discontinued because of Reference Rate Reform. The new standard establishes a general contract modification principle that entities can apply in other areas that may be affected by Reference Rate Reform and certain elective hedge accounting expedients. Under the new standard, an entity may make a one-time election to sell or to transfer to the available-for-sale or trading classifications (or both sell and transfer), debt securities that both reference an affected rate, and were classified as held-to-maturity before January 1, 2020.

The new accounting guidance is effective for all entities as of March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2022. The amendments may be applied to contract modifications as of any date from the beginning of an interim period that includes or is subsequent to March 12, 2020, or prospectively from a date within an interim period that includes or is subsequent to March 12, 2020, up to the date that the financial statements are available to be issued. The amendments may be applied to eligible hedging relationships existing as of the beginning of the interim period that includes March 12, 2020 and to new eligible hedging relationships entered into after the beginning of the interim period that includes March 12, 2020. The one-time election to sell, transfer, or both sell and transfer debt securities classified as held-to-maturity may be made at any time after March 12, 2020 but no later than December 31, 2022. Management has yet to apply the amendments in the new standard to any contract modifications, hedging relationships, or debt securities. Management is analyzing the impact of this new standard and at this time, cannot estimate the impact of adoption on results of operations, financial position or cash flows.

4.  RATE MATTERS

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

As discussed in the 2019 Annual Report, the Registrants are involved in rate and regulatory proceedings at the FERC and their state commissions. The Rate Matters note within the 2019 Annual Report should be read in conjunction with this report to gain a complete understanding of material rate matters still pending that could impact net income, cash flows and possibly financial condition. The following discusses ratemaking developments in 2020 and updates the 2019 Annual Report.

Regulated Generating Units to be Retired (Applies to AEP, PSO and SWEPCo)

In September 2018, management announced that the Oklaunion Power Station is probable of abandonment and is expected to be retired by October 2020.  

In January 2020, as part of the 2019 Arkansas Base Rate Case, management announced that the Dolet Hills Power Station was probable of abandonment and was to be retired by December 2026. In March 2020, management announced plans to accelerate the expected retirement date to the end of September 2021.

The table below summarizes the plant investment and their cost of removal, currently being recovered, as well as the regulatory assets for accelerated depreciation for the generating units as of June 30, 2020.

(a)In October 2018, PSO changed depreciation rates to utilize the 2020 end-of-life and defer depreciation expense to a regulatory asset for the amount in excess of the previously OCC-approved depreciation rates for Oklaunion Power Station.
(b)In January 2020, SWEPCo changed depreciation rates to utilize the 2026 end-of-life and defer depreciation expense to a regulatory asset for the amount in excess of the previously APSC-approved depreciation rates for Dolet Hills Power Station. In March 2020, SWEPCo changed depreciation rates again to utilize the accelerated 2021 end-of-life.

Dolet Hills Power Station and Related Fuel Operations (Applies to AEP and SWEPCo)

During the second quarter of 2019, the Dolet Hills Power Station initiated a seasonal operating schedule. In January 2020, in accordance with the terms of SWEPCo’s settlement of its base rate review filed with the APSC, management announced that SWEPCo will seek regulatory approval to retire the Dolet Hills Power Station by the end of 2026. DHLC provides 100% of the fuel supply to Dolet Hills Power Station. After careful consideration of current economic conditions, and particularly for the benefit of their customers, management of SWEPCo and CLECO determined DHLC would not proceed developing additional Oxbow Lignite Company (Oxbow) mining areas for future lignite extraction and ceased extraction of lignite at the mine in May 2020. Based on these actions, management revised the estimated useful life of DHLC’s and Oxbow’s assets to coincide with the date at which extraction was discontinued and the date at which delivery of lignite is expected to cease in September 2021. Management also revised the useful life of the Dolet Hills Power Station to September 2021 based on the remaining estimated fuel supply available for continued seasonal operation. In March 2020, primarily due to the revision in the useful life of DHLC, SWEPCo recorded a revision to increase estimated ARO liabilities by $21 million. In April 2020, SWEPCo and CLECO jointly filed a notification letter to the LPSC providing notice of the cessation of lignite mining.

147

The Dolet Hills Power Station costs are recoverable by SWEPCo through base rates. SWEPCo’s share of the net investment in the Dolet Hills Power Station is $154 million, including CWIP and materials and supplies, before cost of removal.

Fuel costs incurred by the Dolet Hills Power Station are recoverable by SWEPCo through active fuel clauses. Under the Lignite Mining Agreement, DHLC bills SWEPCo its proportionate share of incurred lignite extraction and associated mining-related costs as fuel is delivered. As of June 30, 2020, DHLC has unbilled lignite inventory and fixed costs of $94 million that will be billed to SWEPCo prior to the closure of the Dolet Hills Power Station. In 2009, SWEPCo acquired interests in Oxbow, which owns mineral rights and leases land. Under a Joint Operating Agreement pertaining to the Oxbow mineral rights and land leases, Oxbow bills SWEPCo its proportionate share of incurred costs. As of June 30, 2020, Oxbow has unbilled fixed costs of $11 million that will be billed to SWEPCo prior to the closure of the Dolet Hills Power Station. DHLC and Oxbow have billed SWEPCo $49 million for lignite deliveries from April 2020 through June 2020, which primarily includes accelerated depreciation and amortization of fixed costs. Additional operational and land-related costs are expected to be incurred by DHLC and Oxbow and billed to SWEPCo prior to the closure of the Dolet Hills Power Station and recovered through fuel clauses.

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

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

COVID-19 Pandemic

AEP’s electric utility operating companies have informed retail customers and state regulators that disconnections for non-payment have been temporarily suspended. These continuing adverse economic conditions may result in the inability of customers to pay for electric service, which could affect the collectability of the Registrants’ revenues and adversely affect financial results. The Registrants have worked with their state commissions to achieve deferral authority for increased costs incurred due to COVID-19. The majority of these jurisdictions have provided deferral authority for incremental COVID-19 costs including uncollectible expense. Initial COVID-19 orders for deferrals have yet to be issued by Kentucky and Tennessee. If any costs related to COVID-19 are not recoverable, it could reduce future net income and cash flows and impact financial condition.

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

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% ROE. The filing included a proposed Income Tax Refund Rider that will refund $21 million annually of Excess ADIT that is primarily not subject to normalization requirements. The rate case also sought a prudence determination on all transmission and distribution capital additions through 2018 included in interim rates from 2008 to December 2019.

In April 2020, the PUCT issued an order approving a stipulation and settlement agreement. The order includes an annual base rate reduction of $40 million based upon a 9.4% ROE with a capital structure of 57.5% debt and 42.5% common equity effective with the first billing cycle in June 2020. The order provides recovery of $26 million in capitalized vegetation management expenses that were incurred through 2018. The order includes disallowances of $23 million related to capital investments recorded through 2018 and $4 million related to rate case expenses. In addition, AEP Texas will refund: (a) $77 million of Excess ADIT and excess federal income taxes collected as a
150

result of Tax Reform to distribution customers over a one year period, (b) $31 million of Excess ADIT and excess federal income taxes collected as a result of Tax Reform to transmission customers as a one-time credit and (c) $30 million of previously collected rates that were subject to reconciliation in this proceeding over a one year period with no carrying costs. The order requires AEP Texas to file its next base rate case within four years of the date of that the final order was issued. The order also states future financially based capital incentives will not be included in interim transmission and distribution rates and contains various ring-fencing provisions. As a result of the final order, AEP Texas will refund $275 million of Excess ADIT associated with certain depreciable property using ARAM to transmission customers. AEP Texas will determine how to refund the remaining Excess ADIT that is not subject to normalization requirements in future proceedings.

In December 2019, as a result of the initial stipulation and settlement agreement, AEP Texas (a) recorded an impairment of $33 million related to capital investments, which included $10 million of 2019 investments, in Asset Impairments and Other Related Charges on the statements of income, (b) recorded a $30 million provision for refund on the statements of income for revenues previously collected through rates and (c) wrote-off $4 million of rate case expenses to Other Operation on the statements of income.

Hurricane Hanna

In July 2020, Hurricane Hanna, a category 1 storm hit Corpus Christi, Laredo and the Rio Grande Valley districts, causing power outages in the AEP Texas service territory. AEP Texas has completed the restoration of power to all customers that are able to accept service. At one point, as many as 200,000 customers were without power. AEP Texas has a PUCT approved catastrophe reserve which allows for the deferral of incremental storm expenses as a regulatory asset and currently recovers approximately $4 million annually through base rates. As restoration efforts continue, AEP Texas’ total costs related to this storm are not final. If any costs related to Hurricane Hanna are not recoverable, it could reduce future net income and cash flows and impact financial condition.

AEP Texas Interim Transmission and Distribution Rates

As of June 30, 2020, AEP Texas’ cumulative revenues from interim base rate increases from 2020, subject to review, are estimated to be $12 million. A base rate review 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. AEP Texas is required to file for a comprehensive rate review no later than April 3, 2024.

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

2017-2019 Virginia Triennial Review

Amendments to Virginia law impacting investor-owned utilities were enacted, effective July 1, 2018, that required APCo to file a 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 70% of any earnings in excess of 70 basis points above APCo’s Virginia SCC authorized ROE would be refunded to customers. In such case, the Virginia SCC could also lower APCo’s Virginia retail base rates on a prospective basis. In November 2018, the Virginia SCC authorized a ROE of 9.42% applicable to APCo base rate earnings for the 2017-2019 triennial period.

Virginia law provides that costs associated with asset impairments of retired coal generation assets, or automated meters, or both, which a utility records as an expense, shall be attributed to the test periods under review in a triennial review proceeding, and be deemed recovered.  In 2015, APCo retired the Sporn Plant, the Kanawha River Plant, the Glen Lyn Plant, Clinch River Unit 3 and the coal portions of Clinch River Units 1 and 2 (collectively, the retired coal-fired generation assets). The net book value of these plants at the retirement date was $93 million before cost of removal, including materials and supplies inventory and ARO balances. Based on management’s
151

interpretation of Virginia law and more certainty regarding APCo’s triennial revenues, expenses and resulting earnings upon reaching the end of the three-year review period, APCo recorded a pretax expense of $93 million related to its previously retired coal-fired generation assets in December 2019.  As a result, management deems these costs to be substantially recovered by APCo during the triennial review period.

In March 2020, APCo submitted its 2017-2019 Virginia triennial earnings review filing and base rate case with the Virginia SCC as required by state law. APCo requested a $65 million annual increase in base rates based upon a proposed 9.9% ROE. The requested annual increase includes $19 million related to depreciation for updated test year end depreciable balances and a proposed increase in APCo’s Virginia depreciation rates and $8 million related to APCo’s calculated shortfall in 2017-2019 APCo’s Virginia earnings. Inclusive of the $93 million expense associated with APCo’s Virginia jurisdictional retired coal-fired generation assets, APCo calculated its 2017-2019 Virginia earnings for the triennial period to be below the authorized ROE range.

APCo is currently in the process of retiring and replacing its Virginia jurisdictional Automated Meter Reading (AMR) meters with AMI meters. As of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, APCo has approximately $52 million and $51 million of Virginia jurisdictional AMR meters as well as $83 million and $75 million of Virginia jurisdictional AMI meters recorded in Total Property, Plant and Equipment - Net on its balance sheets. APCo is pursuing full recovery of these assets through its Virginia depreciation rates as discussed above.

In July 2020, a certain intervenor filed testimony asserting that APCo had a revenue surplus of $23 million for its filed rate year based upon the intervenor’s recommended ROE of 8.75%. The intervenor also filed proposed adjustments to APCo’s requested revenue requirement including: (a) a reduction to depreciation expense to reflect a 2040 retirement date for Amos Plant instead of 2032 for Amos Units 1 and 2 and 2033 for Amos Unit 3 as proposed by APCo, (b) removal of AMI meters from rate base along with related depreciation and (c) a reduction of purchased power expense related to OVEC demand charges. This intervenor, along with one other intervenor, also proposed the removal of major storm expenses.

In addition, this certain intervenor filed testimony contending APCo’s earned return for the Triennial period was 11.12%, which equates to $59 million in earnings (subject to 70% refund provision described above) above the top of the ROE range on a revenue basis. The intervenor also filed a separate legal memorandum opposing the inclusion of the 2019 expensing of the retired coal-fired generation assets from APCo’s 2017-2019 earnings test results. The testimony also removed the related rate base associated with the retired coal units. Another intervenor recommended a disallowance that could potentially result in a write-off of $121 million related to the recovery of capital expenditures incurred for the Amos and Mountaineer coal-fired generation plants during 2017-2019. An intervenor also recommended that APCo not earn a return on $114 million of prepaid pension and OPEB assets. Testimony from Virginia Staff must be filed by mid-August 2020. APCo expects to receive an order in the fourth quarter of 2020.

If any APCo Virginia jurisdictional costs are not recoverable or if refunds of revenues collected from customers during the triennial review period are ordered by the Virginia SCC, it could reduce future net income and cash flows and impact financial condition.

West Virginia ENEC and Vegetation Management Riders

In June 2020, the WVPSC issued an order to increase rider rates relating to ENEC and vegetation management by a combined $101 million ($81 million related to APCo) over twelve months beginning September 2020. This increase will be partially offset by a refund of $38 million ($31 million related to APCo) of Excess ADIT that is not subject to normalization requirements over ten months beginning September 2020. These transactions will result in no overall impact to net income.

152

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 base rate proceeding. Through June 30, 2020, AEP’s share of ETT’s cumulative revenues that are subject to review is estimated to be $1.1 billion. 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.

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

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

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 was based upon a proposed 10.5% ROE.  The proposed annual increase included $78 million related to a proposed annual increase in depreciation expense. The requested annual increase in depreciation expense included $52 million related to proposed investments and $26 million related to increased depreciation rates. The request included the continuation of all existing riders and a new AMI rider for proposed meter projects.

In March 2020, the IURC issued an order authorizing a $77 million annual base rate increase based upon a ROE of 9.7% effective March 2020. This increase will be phased in through January 2021 with an approximate $44 million annual increase in base rates effective March 2020 and the full $77 million annual increase effective January 2021. The order approved the majority of I&M’s proposed changes in depreciation.  The order also approved the test year level of AMI deployment but did not approve a cost recovery rider for AMI investments made in subsequent years. The order rejected I&M’s proposed re-allocation of capacity costs related to the loss of a significant FERC wholesale contract, which will negatively impact I&M’s annual pretax earnings by approximately $20 million starting June 2020. In March 2020, I&M filed for rehearing as a result of the IURC’s ruling to reject I&M’s proposed re-allocation of capacity costs. In May 2020, the IURC issued an order denying I&M’s request for rehearing. In June 2020, I&M filed a motion for voluntary dismissal of its appeal with the IURC.

KPCo Rate Matters (Applies to AEP)

Kentucky Tax Reform

In May 2020, KPCo filed a request with the KPSC to issue a one-time refund of Excess ADIT that is not subject to normalization requirements to customers of approximately $11 million to eliminate certain customer delinquencies attributable to the COVID-19 pandemic. If any costs related to COVID-19 are not recoverable, it could reduce future net income and cash flows and impact financial condition.

2020 Kentucky Base Rate Case

In June 2020, KPCo filed a request with the KPSC for a $65 million net annual increase in base rates based upon a proposed 10% ROE with the increase to be implemented no earlier than January 2021. The filing proposes that KPCo would offset the first year of rate increases by refunding Excess ADIT that is not subject to normalization requirements to customers. Additionally, KPCo requested recovery of the previously authorized deferral of $50 million of Rockport Plant Unit Power Agreement expenses and related carrying charges over a 5-year period beginning in December 2022, through an existing purchased power rider. If any of these costs are not recoverable, it could reduce future net income and cash flows and impact financial condition.
153

OPCo Rate Matters (Applies to AEP and OPCo)

2020 Ohio Base Rate Case

In June 2020, OPCo filed a request with the PUCO for a $42 million annual increase in base rates based upon a proposed 10.15% ROE net of existing riders. Additionally, OPCo filed a request with the PUCO for a 60-day temporary delay of the normal rate case proceeding due to the COVID-19 pandemic with rates expected to be effective approximately mid-2021. If any of these costs are not recoverable, it could reduce future net income and cash flows and impact financial condition.

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 January 2019, SWEPCo and the PUCT filed petitions for review with the Texas Supreme Court. In the fourth quarter of 2019 and first quarter of 2020, SWEPCo and various intervenors filed briefs with the Texas Supreme Court.

As of June 30, 2020, the net book value of Turk Plant was $1.4 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% ROE. In January 2018, the PUCT issued a final order approving a net increase in Texas annual revenues of $50 million based upon a ROE 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, 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
154

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 through a tax rider that will end when the Excess ADIT not subject to normalization requirements is fully refunded to customers which is currently estimated to be July 2020.

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. In July 2020, the LPSC issued an order approving an unopposed stipulation and settlement agreement for a one-time refund of $6 million over three months beginning in August 2020.

5.  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 2019 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 $4 billion revolving credit facility due in June 2022, under which up to $1.2 billion may be issued as letters of credit on behalf of subsidiaries. As of June 30, 2020, 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 $405 million. The Registrants’ maximum future payments for letters of credit issued under the uncommitted facilities as of June 30, 2020 were as follows:

Company		Amount		Maturity	
 		(in millions)		 	
AEP		$	191.6 	 		July 2020 to July 2021	
AEP Texas (a)		2.2 	 		July 2021	
OPCo		1.0 	 		April 2021	

(a)In July 2020, the maturity date was extended from July 2020 to July 2021.

Guarantees of Equity Method Investees (Applies to AEP)

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

156

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 June 30, 2020, 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.

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 June 30, 2020, 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:

Company		Maximum
Potential Loss	
		(in millions)	
AEP		$	50.2 	 	
AEP Texas		11.9 	 	
APCo		7.2 	 	
I&M		4.2 	 	
OPCo		7.5 	 	
PSO		4.7 	 	
SWEPCo		5.3 	 	

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.

The Owner Trustee owns the Plant and leases equal portions to AEGCo and I&M.  The lease is accounted for as an operating lease.  The lease term is for 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 June 30, 2020 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. 

157

The future minimum lease payments for this sale-and-leaseback transaction as of June 30, 2020 were as follows:

Future Minimum Lease Payments		AEP (a)		I&M	
		(in millions)	
2020		$	73.9 	 		$	37.0 	 	
2021		147.8 	 		73.9 	 	
2022		147.5 	 		73.7 	 	
Total Future Minimum Lease Payments		$	369.2 	 		$	184.6 	 	

(a)AEP’s future minimum lease payments include equal shares from AEGCo and I&M.

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 respective lessors, ensuring future payments under such leases with maturities up to 2027. As of June 30, 2020, the maximum potential amount of future payments required under the guaranteed leases was $52 million. Under the terms of certain of the arrangements, upon the lessors exercising their rights after an event of default by the nonaffiliated party, AEP is entitled to enter into new lease arrangements as a lessee that would have substantially the same terms as the existing leases. Alternatively, for the arrangements with one of the lessors, upon an event of default by the nonaffiliated party and the lessor exercising its rights, payment to the lessor would allow AEP to step into the lessor’s rights as well as obtaining title to the assets. Under either situation, AEP would have the ability to utilize the assets in the normal course of barging operations. AEP would also have the right to sell the acquired assets for which it obtained title. As of June 30, 2020, AEP’s boat and barge lease guarantee liability was $4 million, of which $1 million was recorded in Other Current Liabilities and $3 million was recorded in Deferred Credits and Other Noncurrent Liabilities on AEP’s balance sheet.

In February 2020, the nonaffiliated party filed Chapter 11 bankruptcy. The party entered into a restructuring support agreement and has announced it expects to continue their operations as normal. In March 2020, the bankruptcy court approved the party’s recapitalization plan. In April 2020, the nonaffiliated party emerged from bankruptcy. Management has determined that it is reasonably possible that enforcement of AEP’s liability for future payments under these leases will be exercised within the next twelve months. In such an event, if AEP is unable to sell or incorporate any of the acquired assets into its fleet operations, it could reduce future net income and cash flows and impact financial condition.

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.

158

Virginia House Bill 443 (Applies to AEP and APCo)

In March 2020, Virginia’s Governor signed House Bill 443 (HB 443), effective July 2020, requiring APCo to close certain ash disposal units at the retired Glen Lyn Station by removal of all coal combustion material.  As a result, in June 2020, APCo recorded a $199 million revision to increase estimated Glen Lyn Station ash disposal ARO liabilities.  The closure is required to be completed within 15 years from the start of the excavation process.  HB 443 provides for the recovery of all costs associated with closure by removal through the Virginia environmental rate adjustment clause (E-RAC).  APCo may begin recovering these costs through the E-RAC beginning July 1, 2022. APCo is permitted to record carrying costs on the unrecovered balance of closure costs at a weighted average cost of capital approved by the Virginia SCC. HB 443 also allows any closure costs allocated to non-Virginia jurisdictional customers, but not collected from such non-Virginia jurisdictional customers, to be recovered from Virginia jurisdictional customers through the E-RAC.

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.

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. The district court’s stay expired in February 2020, but the court later extended the stay through August 13, 2020. 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.

159

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 is reasonably possible of occurring.

Patent Infringement Complaint (Applies to AEP, AEP Texas and SWEPCo)

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 losses that is reasonably possible of occurring.

Claims Challenging Transition of American Electric Power System Retirement Plan to Cash Balance Formula 

The American Electric Power System Retirement Plan (the Plan) has received a letter written on behalf of four participants (the Claimants) making a claim for additional plan benefits and purporting to advance such claims on behalf of a class. When the Plan’s benefit formula was changed in the year 2000, AEP provided a special provision for employees hired before January 1, 2001, allowing them to continue benefit accruals under the then benefit formula for a full 10 years alongside of the new cash balance benefit formula then being implemented.  Employees who were hired on or after January 1, 2001 accrued benefits only under the new cash balance benefit formula.  The Claimants have asserted claims that (a) the Plan violates the requirements under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA) intended to preclude back-loading the accrual of benefits to the end of a participant’s career; (b) the Plan violates the age discrimination prohibitions of ERISA and the Age Discrimination in Employment Act (ADEA); and (c) the company failed to provide required notice regarding the changes to the Plan.  AEP has responded to the Claimants providing a reasoned explanation for why each of their claims have been denied. The denial of those claims were appealed to the AEP System Retirement Plan Appeal Committee and the Committee upheld the denial of claims.  Management will continue to defend against the claims.  Management is unable to determine a range of potential losses that are reasonably possible of occurring.

6. ACQUISITIONS AND DISPOSITIONS

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

ACQUISITIONS

Sempra Renewables LLC (Generation & Marketing Segment)

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. This acquisition is part of AEP’s strategy to grow its renewable generation portfolio and to diversify generation resources. AEP paid $580 million in cash and acquired a 50% ownership interest in five non-consolidated joint ventures with net assets valued at $404 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.

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.

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 June 30, 2020, the maximum potential amount of future payments associated with these guarantees was $166 million, with the last guarantee expiring in December 2037. The non-contingent liability recorded associated with these guarantees was $32 million, with an additional $1 million expected credit loss liability for the contingent portion of the guarantees. Management considered historical losses, economic conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts in the calculation of the expected credit loss. As the joint ventures generate cash flows through PPAs, the measurement of the contingent portion of the guarantee liability is based upon assessments of the credit quality and default probabilities of the respective PPA counterparties.

Santa Rita East (Generation & Marketing Segment)

In July 2019, AEP acquired a 75% interest, or 227 MWs, in Santa Rita East for approximately $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.

DISPOSITIONS

Conesville Plant (Generation & Marketing Segment)

In June 2020, AEP and a non-affiliated joint-owner executed an Environmental Liability and Property Transfer and Asset Purchase Agreement (“sale agreement”) with a non-affiliated third-party related to the merchant Conesville Plant site. The purchaser took ownership of the assets and assumed responsibility for environmental liabilities, including ash pond closure, asbestos abatement and decommissioning and demolition of the Conesville Plant site.
161

In consideration of the transfer of the acquired assets to the purchaser and the purchaser’s assumption of liabilities, AEP will pay approximately $98 million, derecognized a $106 million asset retirement obligation and recorded an immaterial gain on the transaction which is recorded in Other Operation on the statements of income. AEP paid approximately $26 million in June 2020 and will make additional payments totaling $28 million in quarterly installments from October 2020 to April 2021 and payments totaling $44 million in quarterly installments from July 2021 to July 2022.

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 six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019 and reportable segment balance sheet information as of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019.

9.  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

AEPSC is agent for and transacts on behalf of AEP subsidiaries, including the Registrant Subsidiaries. AEPEP is agent for and transacts on behalf of other AEP subsidiaries.

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.
173

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 $0 and $5 million as of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively. AEP netted cash collateral paid to third-parties against short-term and long-term risk management liabilities in the amounts of $36 million and $39 million as of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, 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 Registrant Subsidiaries as of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019.

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

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.”

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.

180

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

		Carrying Amount of the Hedged Liabilities		Cumulative Amount of Fair Value Hedging Adjustment Included in the Carrying Amount of the Hedged Liabilities	
		June 30, 2020		December 31, 2019		June 30, 2020		December 31, 2019

(b)Amounts include $(57) million and $0 as of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively, for the fair value hedge adjustment of hedged debt obligations for which hedge accounting has been discontinued.

The pretax effects of fair value hedge accounting on income were as follows:

Loss on Fair Value Portion of Long-term Debt (a)	(0.1)	 		(18.2)	 		(42.6)	 		(29.3)	 	

(a)Gain (Loss) is included in Interest Expense on the statements of income.

In June 2020, AEP terminated a $500 million notional amount interest rate swap resulting in the discontinuance of the hedging relationship. A gain of $57 million on the fair value of the hedging instrument was settled in cash and recorded within operating activities on the statement of cash flows. Subsequent to the discontinuation of hedge accounting, the remaining adjustment to the carrying amount of the hedged item of $57 million will be amortized on a straight line basis through November 2027 in Interest Expense on the statements of income.

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 six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, AEP applied cash flow hedging to outstanding power derivatives. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, 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 six months ended June 30, 2020, AEP and APCo applied cash flow hedging to outstanding interest rate derivatives and the other Registrant Subsidiaries did not. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, the Registrants did not apply cash flow hedging to outstanding interest rate derivatives.

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.

182

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 June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, 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 $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.  FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

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

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.

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.
184

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:

		June 30, 2020		December 31, 2019	
Company		Book Value		Fair Value		Book Value		Fair Value

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. Available-for-sale classification only applies to investment in debt securities in accordance with ASU 2016-01. Additionally, ASU 2016-01 requires 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.

11.  INCOME TAXES

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

Federal Legislation

In March 2020, the "Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act" (CARES Act) was signed into law.  The CARES Act includes several significant changes to the Internal Revenue Code that will have an impact on the Registrants.  The CARES Act includes certain tax relief provisions applicable to the Registrants including a) the immediate refund of the corporate Alternative Minimum Tax credit, b) the ability to carryback net operating losses five years for tax years 2018 through 2020 and c) delayed payment of employer payroll taxes.  As of June 30, 2020, AEP, APCo and OPCo have a $20 million, $7 million and $9 million AMT credit refund recorded, respectively, in anticipation of a refund from the U.S. Treasury.  AEP was most recently a taxpayer in 2014 and management is currently evaluating the ability to recover cash taxes paid in 2014 under the 5-year net operating loss carryback provision.

Effective Tax Rates (ETR)

The Registrants’ interim ETR reflect the estimated annual ETR for 2020 and 2019, adjusted for tax expense associated with certain discrete items.

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 tables:

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 2015. During the third quarter of 2019, AEP and subsidiaries elected to amend the 2014 and 2015 federal returns. In the first quarter of 2020, the IRS notified AEP that it was beginning an examination of these amended returns, including the net operating loss carryback to 2015 that originated in the 2017 return. The IRS may examine only the amended items on the 2014 and 2015 federal returns.

Long-term Debt Subsequent Events

In July 2020, AEP Texas issued $600 million of Senior Unsecured Notes due in 2030.

In July and August 2020, AEP Texas retired $92 million and $11 million, respectively, of Securitization Bonds, the Transition Funding II bonds are now fully matured.

In July and August 2020, I&M retired $8 million and $1 million, respectively, of Notes Payable related to DCC Fuel.

In July 2020, Transource Energy issued $3 million of variable rate Other Long-term Debt due in 2023.

In August 2020, APCo retired $13 million of Securitization Bonds.

Equity Units (Applies to AEP)

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. The proceeds were used to support AEP’s overall capital expenditure plans including the acquisition of Sempra Renewables LLC.

Each corporate unit represents a 1/20 undivided beneficial ownership interest in $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 principal. The Equity Units carry an annual distribution rate of 6.125%, which is comprised of a quarterly coupon rate of interest of 3.40% and a quarterly forward equity purchase contract payment of 2.725%.
203

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 $99.58: 0.5021 shares per contract.
•If the AEP common stock market price is less than $99.58 but greater than $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: 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 $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 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 $50 million of secured debt) to 10% of consolidated tangible net assets. AEPTCo’s contractually-defined priority debt was immaterial as of June 30, 2020. The method for calculating the consolidated tangible net assets is contractually-defined in the note purchase agreements.

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. The Federal Power Act also 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.
204

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 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 June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019 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 six months ended June 30, 2020 are described in the following table:

Credit Facilities

For a discussion of credit facilities, see “Letters of Credit” section of Note 5.

Securitized Accounts Receivables – AEP Credit (Applies to AEP)

AEP Credit has a receivables securitization agreement that provides a commitment of $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.

In May 2020, AEP Credit amended its receivables securitization agreement to increase the eligibility criteria related to aged receivable requirements for the participating affiliated utility subsidiaries in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. As of June 30, 2020, the affiliated utility subsidiaries are in compliance with all requirements under the agreement. To the extent that an affiliated utility subsidiary is deemed ineligible under the agreement, receivables would no longer be purchased by the bank conduits and the Registrants would need to rely on additional sources of funding for operation and working capital, which may adversely impact liquidity.

Asset Retirement Obligations

The Registrants record ARO in accordance with the accounting guidance for “Asset Retirement and Environmental Obligations” for legal obligations for asbestos removal and for the retirement of certain ash disposal facilities, wind farms, solar farms and certain coal mining facilities. The Registrants recorded the following revisions to ARO estimates during the first six months of 2020:

•In March 2020, SWEPCo recorded a revision to increase estimated ARO liabilities by $21 million primarily due to the revision in the useful life of DHLC. See Note 4 - Rate Matters for additional details.
•In June 2020, AEP Texas and PSO recorded a revision to decrease estimated ARO liabilities by $17 million and $5 million, respectively, due to the expected retirement of the Oklaunion Power Station in October 2020. See Note 4 - Rate Matters for additional details.
•In June 2020, AGR derecognized $106 million of Conesville Plant related ARO liabilities as a result of the Environmental Liability and Property Transfer and Asset Purchase Agreement executed with a non-affiliated third-party. See Note 6 - Acquisitions and Dispositions for additional details.
•In June 2020, APCo recorded a revision to increase estimated Glen Lyn Station ash disposal ARO liabilities by $199 million due to the enactment of House Bill 443. This bill requires APCo to close the ash disposal units at the retired Glen Lyn Station by removal of all coal combustion material. The legislation provides for regulatory recovery of these costs. See Note 5 - Commitments, Guarantees and Contingencies for additional details.

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 June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019.

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 June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019.

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 June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019. See “Securitized Accounts Receivable - AEP Credit” section of Note 12 for additional information related to AEP Credit’s securitized accounts receivable.

The following table represents the amount of affiliated accounts receivable from contracts with customers included in Accounts Receivable - Affiliated Companies on the Registrant Subsidiaries’ balance sheets:

CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

During the second quarter of 2020, 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 June 30, 2020, 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.

There was no 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 second quarter of 2020 that materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Registrants’ internal control over financial reporting.

PART II.  OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1.  Legal Proceedings

For a discussion of material legal proceedings, see “Commitments, Guarantees and Contingencies,” of Note 5 incorporated herein by reference.

Item 1A.  Risk Factors

The AEP 2019 Annual Report on Form 10-K includes a detailed discussion of risk factors. As of June 30, 2020, the risk factors appearing in AEP’s 2019 Annual Report are supplemented and updated as follows:

AEP’s Financial Condition and Results of Operations could continue to be Adversely Affected by the Ongoing Coronavirus Pandemic

AEP is responding to the global 2019 novel coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic by taking steps to mitigate the potential risks posed by its spread. Its rapid spread around the world and throughout the United States prompted many countries, including the United States, to institute restrictions on travel, public gatherings and certain business operations. These restrictions significantly disrupted economic activity in AEP’s service territory and has reduced demand for energy, particularly from commercial and industrial customers. AEP provides a critical service to its customers which means that it must keep its employees who operate its businesses safe and minimize unnecessary risk of exposure to the virus. AEP has updated and implemented a company-wide pandemic plan to address specific aspects of the coronavirus pandemic. This plan guides AEP’s emergency response, business continuity, and the precautionary measures that AEP is taking on behalf its employees and the public. AEP has taken extra precautions for its employees who work in the field and for employees who continue to work in its facilities, and AEP has implemented work from home policies where appropriate.

During the first quarter of 2020, AEP informed both retail customers and state regulators that disconnections for non-payment have been temporarily suspended. Disconnections are anticipated to be reinstated starting in the third quarter of 2020 in Ohio, Virginia, West Virginia, Indiana, Michigan, Oklahoma, Louisiana and Texas. These uncertain economic conditions may result in the inability of customers to pay for electric service, which could affect revenue recognition and the collectability of accounts receivables. These conditions might also impact the Registrants’ access to and cost of capital. This is a rapidly evolving situation that could lead to extended disruption of economic activity in AEP’s markets.  
AEP has instituted measures to ensure its supply chain remains open; however, there could be global shortages that will impact AEP’s maintenance and capital programs that AEP currently cannot anticipate. AEP will continue to monitor developments affecting both its workforce and its customers, and will take additional precautions that are determined to be necessary in order to mitigate the impacts.

AEP continues to implement strong physical and cyber security measures to ensure that its systems remain functional in order to both serve its operational needs with a remote workforce and keep them running to ensure uninterrupted service to customers.

In addition, the economic disruptions caused by COVID-19 could also adversely impact the impairment risks for certain long-lived assets, equity method investments and goodwill. Market volatility and reduction in collections coupled with longer collection periods due to the expansion of customer payment arrangements could reduce cash from operations and cause an adverse impact to liquidity.

AEP will continue to review and modify its plans as conditions change. Despite AEP’s efforts to manage these impacts, their ultimate impact also depends on factors beyond AEP’s knowledge or control, including the duration and severity of this outbreak, its impact on economic and market conditions, as well as third-party actions taken to contain its spread and mitigate its public health effects. Therefore, AEP currently cannot estimate the potential impact to its financial position, results of operations and cash flows.
221

Ohio House Bill 6 (HB 6), which provides for beneficial cost recovery for OPCo and for plants owned by OVEC, has come under public scrutiny (Applies to AEP and OPCo)

In 2019, Ohio adopted and implemented HB 6. Among other provisions, HB 6 phased out current energy efficiency including lost shared savings revenues of $26 million annually and renewable mandates no later than 2020 and after 2026, respectively. HB 6 also provided for the recovery of existing renewable energy contracts on a bypassable basis through 2032, and included a provision for recovery of OVEC coal-fired unit costs through 2030. AEP and OPCo engaged in lobbying efforts and provided testimony during the legislative process in support of HB 6. In July 2020, an investigation led by the U.S. Attorney’s Office resulted in a federal grand jury indictment of the Speaker of the Ohio House of Representatives, Larry Householder, four other individuals, and Generation Now, an entity registered as a 501(c)(4) social welfare organization, in connection with an alleged racketeering conspiracy involving the adoption of HB 6. In light of the allegations in the indictment, proposed legislation has been introduced that would repeal HB 6. The outcome of the U.S. Attorney’s Office investigation and its impact on HB 6 is not known. If the provisions of HB 6 were to be eliminated, it is unclear whether and in what form the Ohio General Assembly would pass new legislation addressing similar issues. 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 through 2030 or fully recover energy efficiency costs through 2020 it could reduce future net income and cash flows and impact financial condition. In addition, the impact of continued public scrutiny of HB 6 is not known, and may have an adverse impact on AEP’s and OPCo’s relationship with regulatory and legislative authorities, customers and other stakeholders.

OVEC may require additional liquidity and other capital support (Applies to AEP, APCo, I&M and OPCo)

AEP and several nonaffiliated utility companies own OVEC. The Inter-Company Power Agreement (ICPA) defines the rights and obligations and sets the power participation ratio of the parties to it. Under the ICPA, parties are entitled to receive and are obligated to pay for all OVEC capacity (approximately 2,400 MWs) in proportion to their respective power participation ratios. The aggregate power participation ratio of APCo, I&M and OPCo is 43.47%. If a party fails to make payments owed by it under the ICPA, OVEC may not have sufficient funds to honor its payment obligations, including its ongoing operating expenses as well as its indebtedness. As of June 30, 2020, OVEC has outstanding indebtedness of approximately $1.3 billion, of which APCo, I&M, and OPCo are collectively responsible for $568 million through the ICPA. Although they are not an obligor or guarantor, APCo, I&M, and OPCo are responsible for their respective ratio of OVEC’s outstanding debt through the ICPA.

Energy Harbor (formerly FirstEnergy Solutions), a nonaffiliated party, whose aggregate power participation ratio is 4.85% under the ICPA, filed a petition seeking protection under the bankruptcy law. In May 2020, Energy Harbor entered into a bankruptcy settlement and resumed performance under the ICPA as of June 1, 2020. In July 2020, federal prosecutors arrested the Speaker of the Ohio House of Representatives and four other individuals alleging that they engaged in a bribery and money laundering scheme connected to the passage of HB 6. Subsequently, proposed legislation was introduced that would repeal HB 6. If HB 6 is repealed and not replaced, Energy Harbor’s financial ability to participate in the ICPA could be adversely impacted. Management is currently unable to predict the outcome of the proposed legislation and will continue to monitor the legislative process and any potential impact to OVEC’s cash flows or financial condition. If OVEC does not have sufficient funds to honor its payment obligations, there is risk that APCo, I&M and/or OPCo may need to make payments in addition to their power participation ratio payments. Further, if OVEC’s indebtedness is accelerated for any reason, there is risk that APCo, I&M and/or OPCo may be required to pay some or all of such accelerated indebtedness in amounts equal to their aggregate power participation ratio of 43.47%.

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 June 30, 2020.

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 Dolet Hills Lignite Company (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. DHLC received the following notices of violation and proposed assessments under the Mine Act for the quarter ended June 30, 2020:

Number of Citations for S&S Violations of Mandatory Health or Safety Standards under 104 *	—	
Number of Orders Issued under 104(b) *	—	
Number of Citations and Orders for Unwarrantable Failure to Comply with Mandatory Health or Safety Standards under 104(d) *	—

Number of Imminent Danger Orders Issued under 107(a) *	—	
Total Dollar Value of Proposed Assessments **	$	— 	 	
Number of Mining-related Fatalities	—	
* References to sections under the Mine Act.
**  DHLC received three non-S&S citations during the second quarter of 2020. There were no proposed assessments received this quarter.

There are currently no legal actions pending before the Federal Mine Safety and Health Review Commission.
