Cash from Operating Activities
A majority of our operating cash flow is provided by our electric and gas utilities, which are significantly influenced by factors such as weather, electric
Customer Choice, regulatory deferrals, regulatory outcomes, economic conditions and operating costs.
Cash from operations totaling $2.2 billion in 2012 was $201 million higher than the comparable 2011 period. The operating cash flow comparison
primarily reflects cash generated from working capital items, partially offset by lower net income after adjusting for non-cash and non-operating items
(depreciation, depletion and amortization, deferred income taxes, loss on sale of non-utility business and asset (gains) and losses, reserves and impairments,
net).
Cash from operations totaling $2 billion in 2011 was $183 million higher than the comparable 2010 period. The operating cash flow comparison
primarily reflects cash generated from working capital items, partially offset by lower net income after adjusting for non-cash and non-operating items
(depreciation, depletion and amortization, deferred income taxes and asset (gains) and losses, reserves and impairments, net).
The changes in working capital items in both years primarily relate to pension and postretirement obligations and income tax items.
Cash from Investing Activities
Cash inflows associated with investing activities are primarily generated from the sale of assets, while cash outflows are the result of plant and
equipment expenditures. In any given year, we will look to realize cash from under-performing or non-strategic assets or matured fully valued assets.
Capital spending within the utility business is primarily to maintain and improve our electric generation and electric and gas distribution infrastructure
and to comply with environmental regulations and renewable energy requirements.
