(1)    In our distribution segment, we have weather-normalization adjustment mechanisms that serve to mitigate the effects of weather on our revenue. Additionally, APT has a regulatory mechanism that requires that we share with its tariffed customers 75% of the difference between the total non-tariffed revenues earned during a test period and a revenue benchmark.

Allowance for Credit Loss Activity

Rollforwards of our allowance for uncollectible accounts for the three months ended December 31, 2022 and 2021 are presented in the table below. The allowance excludes the gas cost portion of customers’ bills for approximately 81 percent of our customers as we have the ability to collect these gas costs through our gas cost recovery mechanisms in most of our jurisdictions.
