Forecasts necessarily involve known and unknown risks and uncertainties, which may cause actual performance and financial results in future periods to differ materially from any projections of future performance. Although the forecasted financial information contained in this presentation is based upon what Austin Energy management believes are reasonable assumptions, there can be no assurance that forecasted financial information will prove to be accurate, as actual results and future events could differ materially from those anticipated in such forecasts. In addition, this presentation contains unaudited information and should be read in conjunction with the audited Annual Comprehensive Financial Reports for the City of Austin, which was published on March 18, 2021: https://assets.austintexas.gov/financeonline/downloads/comprehensive_annual_financial_report/comprehensi ve_annual_financial_report_2020.pdf 2 QUARTERLY Financial Report Agenda Executive Summary Financial Policy Compliance Financial Performance Measures Actual to Budget Analysis Financial Statements Market and Industry Analyses 3 Austin Energy Quarterly Financial Report Executive Summary 4 Executive Summary Generally compliant with all financial policies. Contingency and Capital Reserve balances below minimums but total cash above minimum of $480m. $ 359 Million Revenues Operating revenues at December are 6% over budget due to increased Power Supply Revenue. Working Capital decreased $118M primarily due to funding CIP and decreased margins. Austin Energy is meeting our target AA S&P bond rating. $344 Million Expenses Operating expenses are 18% over budget due to higher Power Supply costs and timing of customer care expenses. Declining Average Consumption – Lagging energy sales hamper cost recovery.
