Item 9: Others

Aboitiz Power Corporation (AboitizPower or the Company) recorded a 3% year-on-year (YoY)
decrease in its consolidated net income for the second quarter of 2014, from P4.9 billion (bn)
to P4.8 bn. The movements in the peso-dollar exchange rate resulted to a P534 million (mn)
non-recurring gain (versus last years loss of P1,435 mn) due to the revaluation of
consolidated dollar-denominated liabilities and placements. Without the one-off,
AboitizPowers core net income for the second quarter of 2014 amounted to P4.2 bn, which
is 33% lower YoY.

On a year-to-date (YTD) basis, AboitizPowers bottomline performance recorded a 6% YoY
decrease, from P9.5 bn to P8.9 bn. This translated to earnings per share of P1.22. The
revaluation of consolidated dollar-denominated loans and placements resulted to a non-
recurring gain of P323 mn (versus last years loss of P1,280 mn). Adjusting for this one-off, the
Companys core net income for the first semester of 2014 amounted to P8.6 bn, down by
21% YoY.

Business Segments

Power Generation

For the quarter ending June 30, 2014, the power generation business recorded an income
contribution of 4.0 bn, 2% lower as compared to the same period last year. The decrease in
earnings was mainly attributable to the implementation of the Geothermal Resources Sales
Contract (GRSC) for the Tiwi-Makban plants and weaker ancillary performance of Magat
plant. When adjusted for non-recurring items, the group registered a 37% YoY decrease in its
core net income, from P5.5 bn to P3.5 bn.

On a YTD basis, the generation business accounted for 84% of earnings contributions from
AboitizPowers business segments, recording an income share of P7.6 bn for the first
semester of 2014, down 6% YoY. Netting out one-off items, AboitizPowers generation
business amounted to P7.2 bn for the period, which was 23% lower than last year.

As of semester end, AboitizPowers attributable net generation rose by 4% YoY, from 5,360
GWh to 5,556 GWh, as electricity sold through bilateral contracts expanded by 7% to 4,692
GWh. The improvement was mainly due to the higher contracted levels of the large hydros
and Therma Mobile, Inc. On the other hand, spot market sales decreased by 13% from 996
GWh to 863 GWh as low water levels constrained the operations of the Magat, Ambuklao,
and Binga plants. In terms of capacity, higher sales through bilateral contracts and ancillary
services resulted to a 21% YoY increase in AboitizPowers attributable sales from 1,465 MW
to 1,766 MW. It must be noted though that ancillary sales have been weaker quarter on
quarter as a result of the low water levels which begun in the second half of March.

In addition to ongoing works for the 14 MW Sabangan run-of-river hydro plant and the 300
MW Davao coal plant, AboitizPower also expects to begin construction of its 400 MW
Pagbilao expansion, 300 MW Cebu Coal, and 68 MW Manolo Fortich projects within the next
few months.

Power Distribution

For the second quarter of 2014, the power distribution group registered a 6% YoY decrease in
its income contribution, from P879 mn to P828 mn. AboitizPowers attributable electricity
sales for the quarter ending June 30, 2014 was at 1,122 GWh, increasing by 8% from 1,041
GWh a year ago. The strong growth in sales was driven mainly by the industrial segment.
Nevertheless, this was not enough to offset the impact of lower margins registered by
Visayan Electric Company, Inc. (VECO), Davao Light & Power Company, Inc. (Davao Light) and
Cotabato Light & Power Company (Cotabato Light).

The power distribution groups earnings share for the first semester of 2014 declined by 11%,
from P1.6 bn to P1.4 bn. Spearheaded by a growth in industrial sales, total attributable
electricity sales increased by 6% YoY, from 1,997 GWh to 2,122 GWh. However, during the
same period, the groups gross margin declined by 8% YoY to 1.58 kWh. The unfavorable
variance was brought about by the higher direct costs registered due to the lag in recovery of
VECOs cost of purchased power and the additional costs incurred by Davao Light and
Cotabato Light due to the running of their embedded plants to cover for the energy shortfall
in the Mindanao grid.

During the period, AboitizPower acquired Lima Utilities Corporation, the electricity
distribution utility of LiMA Technology Center located in Batangas, from Lima Land, Inc., a
wholly-owned subsidiary of affiliate AboitizLand, Inc. The move is in line with the Groups
strategy of expanding its EnerZone brand.

Financial Condition

As of June 30, 2014, the Companys total consolidated assets amounted to P195.1 bn, 1%
higher than the year-end 2013 level of P193.9 bn. The Companys consolidated Cash and
Cash Equivalents was at P22.4 bn, while total consolidated interest-bearing loans was at
P84.3 bn. Equity Attributable to Equity Holders of the Parent decreased by 5% to P83.3 bn
from year-end 2013. As of June 30, 2014, the Companys current ratio was at 2.3x (versus
year-end 2013s 2.9x), while net debt-to-equity ratio was at 0.7x (versus year-end 2013s
0.5x).
