Item 2.02. Results of Operations and Financial Condition
OGE Energy Corp. (the “Company”) is the parent company of Oklahoma Gas and Electric Company (“OG&E”), a regulated electric utility with approximately 783,000 customers in Oklahoma and western Arkansas, and OGE Enogex Holdings LLC and its subsidiaries (“Enogex”), a midstream natural gas pipeline business with principal operations in Oklahoma.
On February 17, 2011, the Company issued a press release describing the Company’s consolidated financial results for the quarter and year ended December 31, 2010, which is furnished as Exhibit 99.01 and incorporated herein by reference. As described in the press release, the Company reported earnings of $2.99 per diluted share for the year ended December 31, 2010 as compared to $2.66 per diluted share for the year ended December 31, 2009. Earnings were higher primarily due to a higher gross margin at OG&E mainly due to the implementation of various riders associated with wind, transmission and infrastructure investments and warmer summer weather in OG&E’s service territory. Earnings at Enogex were higher primarily due to record natural gas gathering volumes and natural gas liquids processed and higher natural gas and natural gas liquids prices.
OG&E posted earnings of $0.13 per diluted share in the fourth quarter of 2010 as compared to $0.20 per diluted share in the fourth quarter of 2009. Enogex posted earnings of $0.22 per diluted share in the fourth quarter of 2010 as compared to $0.17 per diluted share in the fourth quarter of 2009. The holding company posted a loss of $0.04 per diluted share in the fourth quarter of 2010 as compared to a loss of $0.02 per diluted share in the fourth quarter of 2009. For further information, see the press release attached as Exhibit 99.01.
