Feb 27, 2012, 07:47 ET

ALLENTOWN, Pa., Feb. 27, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- PPL Corporation (NYSE: PPL) on Monday (2/27) announced increased fourth-quarter and year-end 2011 earnings compared with the results previously reported on Feb. 10, 2012, due to a favorable U.S. Supreme Court decision affecting the company's hydroelectric generation operations in Montana.

The Supreme Court on Feb. 22 unanimously overturned a previous Montana state Supreme Court decision requiring PPL Montana to pay rent for the use, in its hydroelectric operations, of riverbeds under portions of three rivers in Montana.

Reflecting the court's decision, PPL has reversed a loss accrual of $89 million pre-tax, or $53 million after-tax.

PPL's revised 2011 reported earnings were $1.495 billion, or $2.70 per share, as compared with the previously announced totals of $1.442 billion, or $2.61 per share. Excluding special items, PPL's revised 2011 earnings from ongoing operations were $1.509 billion, or $2.73 per share, as compared with the previously announced totals of $1.504 billion, or $2.72 per share.

For the fourth quarter of 2011, PPL's revised reported earnings were $454 million, or $0.78 per share, as compared with the previously announced totals of $401 million, or $0.69 per share. Excluding special items, PPL's revised 2011 fourth-quarter earnings from ongoing operations were $410 million, or $0.71 per share, as compared with the previously announced totals of $405 million, or $0.70 per share.

PPL is maintaining the existing 2012 earnings forecast range of $2.15 per share to $2.45 per share, with a midpoint of $2.30 per share.

The reversal of the loss accrual affected PPL's competitive supply business segment, which primarily consists of the domestic energy generation and marketing operations of PPL Energy Supply.

This segment's revised 2011 reported earnings were $1.40 per share, as compared with the previously announced $1.31 per share. Excluding special items, this segment's revised 2011 earnings from ongoing operations were $1.15 per share, as compared with the previously announced $1.14 per share.

For the fourth quarter of 2011, this segment's revised reported earnings were $0.46 per share, as compared with the previously announced $0.37 per share. Excluding special items, this segment's revised 2011 fourth-quarter earnings from ongoing operations were $0.27 per share, as compared with the previously announced $0.26 per share.

PPL Corporation, headquartered in Allentown, Pa., owns or controls about 19,000 megawatts of generating capacity in the United States, sells energy in key U.S. markets, and delivers electricity and natural gas to about 10 million customers in the United States and the United Kingdom. More information is available at www.pplweb.com.

(See the tables at the end of the news release for details as to the reconciliation of earnings from ongoing operations to reported earnings.)

"Earnings from ongoing operations" should not be considered as an alternative to reported earnings, or net income attributable to PPL, which is an indicator of operating performance determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). PPL believes that "earnings from ongoing operations," although a non-GAAP financial measure, is also useful and meaningful to investors because it provides management's view of PPL's fundamental earnings performance as another criterion in making investment decisions. PPL's management also uses "earnings from ongoing operations" in measuring certain corporate performance goals. Other companies may use different measures to present financial performance.

"Earnings from ongoing operations" is adjusted for the impact of special items. Special items include:

Energy-related economic activity.
Foreign currency-related economic hedges.
Gains and losses on sales of assets not in the ordinary course of business.
Impairment charges (including impairments of securities in the company's nuclear decommissioning trust funds).
Workforce reduction and other restructuring impacts.
Acquisition-related costs and charges.
Other charges or credits that are, in management's view, not reflective of the company's ongoing operations.

Statements contained in this news release with respect to future earnings are "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the federal securities laws. Although PPL Corporation believes that the expectations and assumptions reflected in these forward-looking statements are reasonable, these statements are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties, and actual results may differ materially from the results discussed in the statements. Any such forward-looking statements should be considered in light of such important factors and in conjunction with PPL Corporation's Form 10-K and other reports on file with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
