What’s New?

Tax Reform Summary • Beneficial to customers • No equity issuances required • No change to 2018 guidance, long-term growth rate or capital plan • Maintaining FFO-to-debt in the range of 16 to 18 percent • Estimated to be a partial cash taxpayer in 2018, full cash taxpayer in 2019 State Tax Treatment • On May 24, the PSCW issued written order (for 2018 and 2019): • WEPCO electric: 80% of the tax benefit will offset regulatory asset balances, and 20% will be refunded in the form of a bill credit to customers. Wisconsin • WPS electric: 40% of the tax benefit will offset regulatory asset balances, and 60% will be refunded in the form of a bill credit to customers. • Natural gas:100% returned to customers through bill credits. • On April 19, the ICC approved the proposed bill rider that will return the federal tax Illinois savings to customers, partially offset by an increase in state taxes. • MPSC issued an order on Feb. 22, requiring each Michigan utility to make multiple filings addressing estimated rate impacts. • Three step approach: Michigan 1. Approved May 30 – Ongoing credit for tax reform 2. July – Filing for tax reform refund for Jan - Jun 3. October – Remeasurement of deferred tax balances • The impact of tax reform has been factored into the currently pending rate case. Minnesota • Interim rates have been adjusted to reflect the reduction in the federal tax rate. 7
