The quarterly performance benefited primarily from an increased customer count. However, the bottom line decreased year over year due to higher operation and maintenance expenses. Gradual improvement in Houston s economy boosts the company s performance and will likely continue doing so in the future. A stable liquidity position backed by strong cash generation capacity and systematic investments in infrastructure projects will also drive upcoming results. However, uncertain outcomes of impending rate cases and dependence on retail electric providers for rate payments may impede growth. Thus, we are maintaining our Neutral recommendation in the stock.

2 OVERVIEW Houston, TX-based CenterPoint Energy Inc. (CNP) is a domestic energy delivery company that provides electric transmission & distribution, natural gas distribution and competitive natural gas sales and services operations. The company serves over 5 million metered customers primarily in Arkansas, Louisiana, Minnesota, Mississippi, Oklahoma and Texas. The company owns interest in a midstream partnership (Midstream Partnership). CenterPoint Energy s reportable business segments include the following: Electric Transmission & Distribution: CenterPoint Houston engages in electric utility operations. It is a transmission and distribution electric utility that operates entirely within the state of Texas. On behalf of the retail electric providers (REPs), CenterPoint Houston delivers electricity. CenterPoint Houston provides transmission services under tariffs approved by the Texas Utility Commission. In Electric Reliability Council of Texas, Inc. (ERCOT), the end-users purchase their electricity directly from certificated REPs. CenterPoint Houston delivers electricity to REPs in its certificated service area by carrying lower-voltage power from the substation to retail electric customers. CenterPoint Houston s operations include construction and maintenance of electric transmission and distribution facilities, metering services, outage response services and call center operations. CenterPoint Houston s electric transmission business, along with those of other owners of transmission facilities in Texas, supports the operation of the ERCOT independent system operator (ERCOT ISO). Natural Gas Distribution: Natural Gas Distribution consists of intrastate natural gas sales to, and natural gas transportation and distribution for, residential, commercial, industrial and institutional customers. As of Dec 31, 2014, the segment serves customers in Arkansas, Louisiana, Minnesota, Mississippi, Oklahoma and Texas. Energy Services: The segment, through CenterPoint Energy Services, Inc. and its subsidiary, CenterPoint Energy Intrastate Pipelines, LLC, provides variable and fixed-priced physical natural gas supplies mainly to the commercial and industrial customers and electric and gas utilities. Midstream Investments: In Mar 2013, CenterPoint Energy inked a master formation agreement with OGE Energy Corp. and the affiliates of ArcLight Capital Partners, LLC to form Enable Midstream Partners as a private limited partnership. On May 1, 2013, the parties completed the process and Enable Midstream Partners became the owner of considerably all of CERC Corp. s former Interstate Pipelines and Field Services operations. Other Operations: This division consists of office buildings and other real estate used for the company s business and other corporate activities that support its business operations. REASONS TO BUY A steady growth in the customer count has mainly driven CenterPoint Energy s performance over the last several quarters. During the third quarter of 2014, the company s customers under Electric Transmission & Distribution and Natural Gas Distribution segments increased around 2.2% and 1.1% year over year, respectively. In addition, customers of Energy Services also surged during the quarter from the prior-year level. Ongoing economic development in CenterPoint Energy s operating territories primarily boosted customer count. At 2013-end, the customer count under Electric Transmission & Distribution, Natural Gas Distribution and Energy Services increased roughly 2%, 1% and 7.2% year over year, respectively. The increasing customer headcount is expected to prevail in the future primarily due to economic recovery of Houston, subsequently boosting forthcoming utility demand. Equity Research CNP Page 2
3 CenterPoint Energy is investing substantially to expand its operations to cope with increasing utilities demand. The company is currently focused on upgrading infrastructure and improving reliability. CenterPoint Energy s capital expenditure during the third quarter had stood at around $0.36 billion, up 8.8% year over year on higher investments in both the Electric Transmission & Distribution and Natural Gas Distribution segments. The company intends to invest a total of $1.4 billion in 2014, higher than $1.27 billion a year ago. Under the Electric Transmission & Distribution division, CenterPoint Energy plans investments of roughly $3.7 billion through This fund will be utilized primarily for system modernization initiatives, maintenance projects and installation of meter-reading technology. The company also plans to invest $0.3 billion to a construct a portion of the Brazos Valley Connection Project, previously known as the Houston Import Project. On the other hand, the company intends to spend around $2.2 billion under its for natural gas utilities through , primarily for replacing its aging infrastructure, implementation of modern technology and investments in the Minnesota Belt Line Project. These initiatives will collectively enable CenterPoint Energy to provide reliable services besides meeting increasing customer demand. CenterPoint Energy continues to maintain a stable liquidity position, which allows it to follow its systematic capital spending program. As of Sep 30, 2014, the company had cash and cash equivalents of $0.23 billion and available liquidity of around $2.03 billion under total bank facilities. In addition, the company showed its efficiency of holding a stable cash generating capacity. In the first nine months of 2014, CenterPoint Energy s operating cash flow was around $1.12 billion. the company cash flow from opertaing activities at 2013-end had stood at $1.61 billion. Apart from utilizing funds in infrastructure projects, a favorable financial positon will support CenterPoint Energy s practice of regular dividend payments. The company aims to increase its dividend at a compound annual growth rate of 8% 10% between 2014 and In the first nine months of 2014, the company paid around $0.31 billion as common dividends, up 14.6% year over year. These initiative will enable CenterPoint Energy to attract more investors to the stock. REASONS TO SELL The performance of CenterPoint Energy s regulated electricity and natural gas utilities depends upon rate relief at regular intervals in its different service areas. Any adverse decision in pending regulatory cases can impact the company s earnings substantially. The proceeds are used to finance a portion of its expansion program. An adverse regulatory decision will force the company to refund the incremental bill it has charged from its customers. A substantial portion of CenterPoint Energy s operations are located along the gulf coast of the U.S., a high-risk area with strong hurricane activity. This exposes the company s utility plants to damage and expenditures associated with storm-related restoration. In spite of having general liability and property insurance, insurance coverage may not cover all expenses incurred by the company. CenterPoint Energy s unit, CenterPoint Houston s performance depends primarily on timely payment of fees by retail electric providers (REP). The company supplies electricity to customers on behalf of the REP in exchange of fees. If any third-party provider fails to pay fees on time, CenterPoint Energy s performance will be impacted adversely. Equity Research CNP Page 3
