Capital Reserve balance below minimums but total cash above minimum of $414m. $ 328 Million Revenues Operating revenues exceed forecast by 2% due to higher base revenue primarily due to higher than normal temperatures. Balance sheet is liquid and adequately capitalized. Cash balances are stable through the first quarter. Meeting financial metrics supporting AA credit rating. Received credit upgrade from Fitch Ratings in May 2019. $284 Million Expenses Operating expenses exceed forecast by 1% primarily due to higher power supply costs. Effective energy efficiency initiatives have reduced average residential consumption. Customer consumption has evolved but our rate structures have not, which creates unintended consequences.
