At that docket, the Commission stated that the submission of accurate, reliable and complete earnings disclosure reports, at regular intervals, is essential to the fulfillment of the broad regulatory oversight responsibilities entrusted to the Commission by the Legislature in the Public Utility Code. The earnings disclosure regulations promulgated by the Commission were adopted October?1,?1992, and published January?23,?1993, at 23 Pa.B. 463. Based upon those regulations, codified at 52 Pa. Code, Chapter 71, a reporting format was developed and distributed to the jurisdictional fixed utilities of Pennsylvania.All fixed utilities having jurisdictional revenues of $1,000,000 or more, for a calendar year, are required to file the report by March 31 of each year. Such reports are to be based upon the results of operations for the 12-month period ending December 31 of the prior year. Utilities having more than $10,000,000 in jurisdictional revenues are also required to file reports for the 12 months ending on March 31, June 30, and September 30 of each year. On November?30,?2004, however, the Pennsylvania General Assembly signed into law Act 183 concerning alternative telecommunications regulation and broadband deployment. As a result of Act 183, the reporting requirements for the PUC jurisdictional telecommunications companies of Pennsylvania have been streamlined at section 3015(e) of the Public Utility Code. A quarterly earnings report is not listed among those reports now required of PUC jurisdictional telecommunications utilities in Pennsylvania and, therefore, this report does not address telephone company earnings. The reports have been filed for the period ended June 30, 2017. The Finance Staff of the Bureau of Technical Utility Services has reviewed the reports and has prepared this summary report for public release. This report sets forth the achieved return on equity for each company, the last allowed return for that utility, a market return as determined through the analysis of the barometer group data and the most recent returns allowed, per industry, by the Pennsylvania Public Utility Commission and by other regulatory bodies. Where a utility has not filed a report, the reasons for not filing are indicated.Questions pertaining to the preparation and contents of this Report should be directed to Ms. Erin Laudenslager, Manager - Finance, Bureau of Technical Utility Services, at (717) 705-4364.The equity return summaries that follow in Attachment A are, for each quarter;ACTUALBased on actual results of operationsandADJUSTED2.

Code § 71.4.Explanation of Discounted Cash Flow (DCF) and Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM) Barometer Group CriteriaThe criteria used for determining the industry barometer groups used to calculate ROEs in this report are as follows:50% or more of the company’s assets must be related to the jurisdictional utility industry;The company’s stock must be publicly traded;Companies involved in merger & acquisition activity will be excluded;Investment information for the company must be available to the Commission from more than one source; andGeographic Regions:EDCs: Value Line East Group Electric Utility companies;NGDCs: Value Line Investment Survey’s Natural Gas Utility industry group companies;Water/Waste water: Value Line Investment Survey’s Water Utility industry group companies.The barometer group companies are reviewed by staff on a quarterly basis and make any changes to these companies based upon the criteria above. ROE Calculations The Commission consistently uses the DCF model to determine the appropriate cost of equity for utilities. In this report, the DSIC ROE is calculated using two DCF models. TUS uses the following formula to calculate the current dividend DCF: K = D1/P0 + G TUS uses the following formula to calculate the 52-week average dividend DCF: K = D1/Pa + GDefinitions:K= Cost of equityD1= Dividend expected during the year =D0 + ?gD0= Latest indicated dividend, obtained from Yahoo! Financeg=Expected 5-year dividend growth rate of barometer groupobtained from Value Line Investment Survey.P0= Current price of the stock, obtained from Yahoo! FinancePa=Average of high and low stock price over the latest 52-week period, obtained from Yahoo! FinanceG=Average of 5-year expected earnings growth rate forecasts obtained from Value Line Investment Survey, Zacks Investment Survey, Yahoo! Finance, Morningstar and/or Reuters.The CAPM uses the yield of a risk-free interest bearing obligation plus a rate of return premium that is proportional to the systematic risk of an investment. TUS uses the following formula to calculate CAPM: K = β(Rm-Rf)Three components are necessary to calculate the CAPM cost of equity: β = Beta, a measure of systematic risk for each stockRf= The risk-free rate of return, 10-year U.S. Treasury yields are used for Rf . Yields are taken from the previous two quarters and forecasted next four quarters. Rm=Total return of the equity market as determined by the SBBI Yearbook The Commission determines the ROE used for DSIC purposes based on the range of reasonableness from the DCF barometer group data, CAPM data, recent ROEs adjudicated by the Commission, and informed judgment.The market indicated common equity cost rate range consists of data used from the barometer groups and is based on a series of calculations to average the DCF methods.Historic Electric Industry Barometer Group DCF and CAPM Average ROEsLinear Trend Line Chart of Historic Electric Industry DCF and CAPM Average ROEsBarometer electric companies are used to calculate a current DCF in the first chart.
