Recently Adopted Accounting Standards
|
||||||
ASU Number and Name
|
|
Description
|
|
Date of Adoption
|
|
Financial Statement Impact
upon Adoption
|
ASU 2017-01- Business Combinations (Topic 805): Clarifying the Definition of a Business
|
|
This standard revises the definition of a business. If substantially all of the fair value of the gross assets acquired is concentrated in a single identifiable asset or a group of similar identifiable assets, then under ASU 2017-01, the asset or group of assets is not a business. The guidance also requires a business to include at least one substantive process and narrows the definition of outputs to be more closely aligned with how outputs are described in ASC 606.
Transition method:
prospective
|
|
January 1, 2018
|
|
The adoption of this revised definition will reduce the number of transactions that are accounted for as a business combination, and therefore may have a potential impact on the Registrants’ accounting for future acquisitions.
|
ASU 2017-04- Intangibles-Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment
|
|
This standard eliminates Step 2 of the goodwill impairment test, which required a hypothetical purchase price allocation. A goodwill impairment will now be the amount by which a reporting unit’s carrying value exceeds its fair value, not to exceed the carrying amount of goodwill.
Transition method:
prospective
|
|
January 1, 2018
|
|
The adoption of this standard will have an impact on CenterPoint Energy’s and CERC’s future calculation of goodwill impairments if an impairment is identified.
|
ASU 2017-07- Compensation-Retirement Benefits (Topic 715): Improving the Presentation of Net Periodic Pension Cost and Net Periodic Postretirement Benefit Cost
|
|
This standard requires an employer to report the service cost component of the net periodic pension cost and postretirement benefit cost in the same line item(s) as other employee compensation costs arising from services rendered during the period; all other components will be presented separately from the line item(s) that includes the service cost and outside of any subtotal of operating income. In addition, only the service cost component will be eligible for capitalization in assets.
Transition method:
retrospective for the presentation of the service cost component and other components; prospective for the capitalization of the service cost component
|
|
January 1, 2018
|
|
The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the Registrants’ financial position, results of operations, cash flows or disclosures; however, it resulted in the increases to operating income and corresponding decreases to other income reported in the table below. Other components previously capitalized in assets will be recorded as regulatory assets in the Registrants’ rate-regulated businesses, prospectively.
|
ASU 2017-09- Compensation-Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Scope of Modification Accounting
|
|
This standard clarifies when changes to the terms or conditions of a share-based payment award must be accounted for as a modification. Entities will apply the modification accounting guidance if the value, vesting conditions or classification of the award changes.
Transition method:
prospective
|
|
January 1, 2018
|
|
The adoption of this standard will have an impact on CenterPoint Energy’s accounting for future changes to share-based payment awards.

Primarily consists of income from ARPs and leases. ARPs are contracts between the utility and its regulators, not between the utility and a customer. The Registrants recognize ARP revenue as other revenues when the regulator-specified conditions for recognition have been met. Upon recovery of ARP revenue through incorporation in rates charged for utility service to customers, ARP revenue is reversed and recorded as revenue from contracts with customers. The recognition of ARP revenues and the reversal of ARP revenues upon recovery through rates charged for utility service may not occur in the same period.

Derivative Fair Values and Income Statement Impacts
|
(1)
|
The fair value shown for natural gas contracts is comprised of derivative gross volumes totaling
1,862
Bcf or a net
268
Bcf long position and
1,795
Bcf or a net
224
Bcf long position as of
June 30, 2018
and
December 31, 2017
, respectively. Certain natural gas contracts hedge basis risk only and lack a fixed price exposure.
|
(2)
|
Natural gas contracts are presented on a net basis in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as they are subject to master netting arrangements. This netting applies to all undisputed amounts due or past due and causes derivative assets (liabilities) to be ultimately presented net in a liability (asset) account within the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The net of total non-trading natural gas derivative assets and liabilities was a
$82 million
asset and a
$130 million
asset as of
June 30, 2018
and
December 31, 2017
, respectively, as shown on CenterPoint Energy’s and CERC’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets (and as detailed in the table below), and was comprised of the natural gas contracts derivative assets and liabilities separately shown above, impacted by collateral netting of
$32 million
and
$19 million
, respectively.
|
(3)
|
Derivative Assets and Derivative Liabilities include no material amounts related to physical forward transactions with Enable.

Gross amounts recognized include some derivative assets and liabilities that are not subject to master netting arrangements.
|
(2)
|
The derivative assets and liabilities on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets exclude accounts receivable or accounts payable that, should they exist, could be used as offsets to these balances in the event of a default.
|
(1)
|
Hedge ineffectiveness results from the basis ineffectiveness discussed above, and excludes the impact to natural gas expense from timing ineffectiveness. Timing ineffectiveness arises due to changes in the difference between the spot price and the futures price, as well as the difference between the timing of the settlement of the futures and the valuation of the underlying physical commodity. As the commodity contract nears the settlement date, spot-to-forward price differences should converge, which should reduce or eliminate the impact of this ineffectiveness on natural gas expense.

Based on current credit ratings.

|
As defined in the revolving credit facility agreement, excluding Securitization Bonds.
|
(3)
|
Pursuant to the amendment entered into in May 2018, the aggregate commitments under the CenterPoint Energy revolving credit facility will increase to
$3.3 billion
upon the satisfaction of certain conditions described above.
|
(4)
|
CenterPoint Energy’s financial covenant limit will return to
65%
upon the earlier of (i) June 30, 2019 or (ii) the termination of all commitments in respect of the Bridge Facility without any borrowing thereunder.
|
(5)
|
For CenterPoint Energy (whenever its financial covenant limit is
65%
) and Houston Electric, the financial covenant limit will temporarily increase from
65%
to
70%
if Houston Electric experiences damage from a natural disaster in its service territory and CenterPoint Energy certifies to the administrative agent that Houston Electric has incurred system restoration costs reasonably likely to exceed
$100 million
in a consecutive
12
-month period, all or part of which Houston Electric intends to seek to recover through securitization financing. Such temporary increase in the financial covenant would be in effect from the date CenterPoint Energy delivers its certification until the earliest to occur of (i) the completion of the securitization financing, (ii) the first anniversary of CenterPoint Energy’s certification or (iii) the revocation of such certification.

|
|
Reflects a proposed 10.0% ROE on a 52.18% equity ratio. Includes a proposal to extend decoupling beyond current expiration date of June 2018. Interim rates reflecting an annual increase of $47.8 million were effective October 1, 2017. A unanimous settlement agreement was filed in March 2018, which is subject to MPUC approval. The settlement agreement increases base rates by $3.9 million, makes decoupling a permanent part of the tariff, incorporates the impact of the decrease in the federal income tax rate and amortization of EDIT balances (approximately $20 million) and establishes or continues tracker recovery mechanisms that account for approximately $13.3 million in the initial filing. The MPUC voted to approve the settlement and a formal order was issued on July 20, 2018. Final rates (and the refund of interim rates that exceed final rates) are expected to be implemented later this year after required compliance filings are approved.
