SOUTHERN COMPANY SERVICES, INC.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2018

  1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

General — In 1949, pursuant to the provisions of the Public Utility Holding Company Act of 1935, the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) approved the formation of Southern Company Services, Inc. (the “Company”), a wholly owned subsidiary of Southern Company (“Southern”), to provide services in connection with Southern’s operations. Substantially all of the Company’s services are provided to affiliates, as discussed in Note 2.

Southern was registered as a holding company under the Public Utility Holding Company Act of 1935, as amended (“PUHCA”) until its repeal in February 2006. Upon its repeal, PUHCA was replaced by the Public Utility Holding Company Act of 2005, which is administered by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (“FERC”).

The Company follows accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires the use of estimates, and the actual results may differ from those estimates. The Company reports using the FERC Uniform System of Accounts for Centralized Service Companies Subject to the Provisions of Public Utility Holding Company Act of 2005.

The Company has no earnings or retained earnings since it renders services at cost primarily to its parent company, Southern, and other affiliates, as further discussed in Note 2.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) (ASU 2016-02). ASU 2016-02 requires lessees to recognize on the balance sheet a lease liability and a right-of-use asset for all leases. ASU 2016-02 also changes the recognition, measurement, and presentation of expense associated with leases and provides clarification regarding the identification of certain components of contracts that would represent a lease. The accounting required by lessors is relatively unchanged and there is no change to the accounting for existing leveraged leases. ASU 2016-02 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018 and The Company adopted the new standard effective January 1, 2019.

 

The Company elected the transition methodology provided by ASU No. 2018-11, Leases (Topic 842): Targeted Improvements, whereby the requirements of ASU 2016-02 are applied on a prospective basis as of the adoption date of January 1, 2019, without restating prior periods. The Company elected the package of practical expedients provided by ASU 2016-02 that allows prior determinations of whether existing contracts are, or contain, leases and the classification of existing leases to continue without reassessment. Additionally, The Company applied the use-of-hindsight practical expedient in determining lease terms as of the date of adoption and elected the practical expedient that allows existing land easements not previously accounted for as leases not to be reassessed. The Company also made accounting policy elections to account for short-term leases in all asset classes as off-balance sheet leases and combined lease and non-lease components in the computations of lease obligations and right-of-use assets for most asset classes.

 

The Company completed the implementation of a new application to track and account for its leases and updated its internal controls and accounting policies to support the accounting for leases under ASU 2016-02.

 

In March 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-07, Compensation – Retirement Benefits (Topic 715): Improving the Presentation of Net Periodic Pension Cost and Net Periodic Postretirement Benefit Cost (ASU 2017-07). ASU 2017-07 requires that an employer report the service cost component in the same line item or items as other compensation costs and requires the other components of net periodic pension and postretirement benefit costs to be separately presented in the statements of income outside of income from operations. Additionally, only the service cost component is eligible for capitalization, when applicable. ASU 2017-07 was adopted effective January 1, 2018 with no material impact on the respective financial statements. ASU 2017-07 has been applied retrospectively, with the service cost component of net periodic benefit costs included in operations and maintenance expenses and all other components of net periodic benefit costs included in other income (expense), net in the statements of income for all periods presented for The Company.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents — The Company considers temporary cash investments with original maturities of 90 days or less to be cash equivalents.

Income Taxes — The Company uses the liability method of accounting for deferred income taxes and provides deferred income taxes for all significant income tax temporary differences.

In accordance with accounting standards related to the uncertainty in income taxes, the Company recognizes tax positions that are “more likely than not” of being sustained upon examination by the appropriate taxing authorities.

Property, Equipment, and Depreciation and Amortization — Property and equipment are recorded at cost. Depreciation and amortization are provided on the straight-line method over the estimated economic life of the related asset (ranging from 3 to 15 years). Leasehold improvements are amortized over the lives of the respective leases.

The Company follows AICPA Statement of Position No. 98-1, Accounting for the Costs of Computer Software Developed or Obtained for Internal Use, in accounting for the costs of computer software developed or obtained for internal use.

On retirement or sale of assets, the cost of such assets and the related accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts, and the gain or loss, if any, is credited or charged to income.

The cost of maintenance repairs and replacement of minor items of property is charged to expense. The cost of replacement property (exclusive of minor items of property) is capitalized.

Agency Accounts — The Company enters into gas purchasing, gas hedging, wholesale energy trading, and transmission usage contracts with nonaffiliated companies on behalf of the affiliated companies. Balances related to these transactions are included in the agency accounts in current assets and current liabilities on the balance sheet.

Comprehensive Income The objective of comprehensive income is to report a measure of all changes in common stock equity of an enterprise that result from transactions and other economic events of the period other than transactions with owners. Comprehensive income consists of net income, changes in the fair value of qualifying cash flow hedges, certain changes in pensions and other postretirement benefit plans and reclassifications for amounts included in net income.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and Intangibles — The Company evaluates long-lived assets for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of such assets may not be recoverable. The determination of whether an impairment has occurred is based on an estimate of undiscounted future cash flows attributable to the assets, as compared with the carrying value of the assets. If an impairment has occurred, the amount of the impairment recognized is determined by estimating the fair value of the assets and recording a loss if the carrying value is greater than the fair value. For assets identified as held for sale, the carrying value is compared to the estimated fair value less the cost to sell in order to determine if an impairment loss is required. Until the assets are disposed of, their estimated fair value is re-evaluated when circumstances or events change.

  1. SERVICE AGREEMENTS

The Company has entered into agreements under which it renders specialized services, at cost, to Southern Company and its subsidiaries. The Company’s affiliates include the following: retail operating companies (Alabama Power Company, Georgia Power Company, Gulf Power Company (through December 31, 2018), Mississippi Power Company, and Southern Company Gas); Southern Electric Generating Company, an operating subsidiary owned equally by Alabama Power Company and Georgia Power Company, provides electric service in four Southeastern states; Southern Communications Services provides communications for use by Southern Company and its subsidiary companies and also markets these services to the public and provides fiber cable services within the Southeast; Southern Nuclear Operating Company operates and provides services to the Southern Company system’s nuclear power plants; Southern Power Company constructs, acquires, owns, and manages generation assets, including renewable energy projects, and sells electricity at market-based rates in the wholesale market; Southern Company Holdings, Inc. is an intermediate holding company subsidiary, primarily for Southern Company’s investments in leveraged leases. On January 1, 2019, Southern completed the sale of Gulf Power Company to NextEra Energy.

The Company’s services include general executive and advisory services, engineering, fuel services, transmission and generation services, purchasing, accounting, finance and treasury, tax, information technology, human resources, marketing, auditing, risk management, business promotion and public relations, employee relations, and other services with respect to business and operations and, in the case of the operating utilities, power pool operations. The agreements will be canceled to the extent and from the time that performance thereunder conflicts with any rule, regulation, or order of a governing agency adopted before or after the execution of the agreements.

 

  1. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENT MATTERS

General Litigation Matters — The Company is subject to certain claims and legal actions arising in the ordinary course of business. The ultimate outcome of such litigation currently filed against the Company cannot be predicted at this time; however, after consultation with legal counsel, management does not anticipate that the liabilities, if any, arising from such proceeding would have a material adverse effect on the Company’s balance sheet.

Purchase Commitments — The Company has various purchase commitments. At December 31, 2018, total capital expenditures are budgeted to be approximately $31 million in 2019, $24 million in 2020, and $18 million in 2021.

 

 

  1. Annual Statement of Compensation for Use of Capital Billed

 

The Company has been required to submit an annual statement to its associate client companies stating the amount and calculation of interest billed for compensation of equity capital and borrowed capital. In lieu of a separate statement, the company satisfies this requirement by the availability of the FERC Form 60 as a public document.

 

In 2018, the Company initiated short-term borrowings exclusively from Southern Company; other outside banking institutions were not used. The interest rates on these borrowings ranged from 3.57% to 3.90%. Interest in the amount of $2,321,908 was accrued on the Southern Company borrowings and was billed to the client companies.

 

The company has obligations related to outstanding capital leases in the amount of $178,127,841. The interest rates on these capitalized leases ranged from 1.6% to 4.7% and interest of $5,820,548 was accrued and billed to the client companies.

 

In addition, the Company incurred other interest of $318,970 related to Transmission Access deposits and $5,021 related to various federal and state tax payments.

 

The Company does not bill its associate client companies for compensation of equity capital.

 

All interest was billed to each company either on the appropriate allocation basis included in Schedule XXI, Methods of Allocation, or it was billed direct. For information related to how interest on total service company indebtedness was billed to the associate and non-associate companies, see Schedules XVII, Analysis of Billing - Associate Companies, and XVIII, Analysis of Billing - Non-Associate Companies.

Include any other methods used to allocate costs.

Corporate Services: The expenses to support SCS as a corporation are distributed to all affiliates and non-affiliates as an indirect expense based on labor.

Business Units using Corporate Services: Business Units using Corporate Services: Accounting, Auditing, Executive and Corporate, External Affairs, Finance, Human Resources, Information Technology, Insurance, Legal and General Counsel, Marketing Services, Supply Chain Management, System Air, and Treasury.

Resource Pools: Employees throughout SCS and the Southern electric system share certain types of equipment and services. The equipment and/or services are organized into specific resource pools for accounting and billing purposes with each resource pool having its own unique work order. Costs such as salaries, depreciation, rent and interest are charged to the resource pool, and monthly units of usage are accumulated by pool for each user work order. To charge these resource pool costs to users, a standard rate is derived annually by dividing total projected costs by total projected units. This rate is applied monthly to the actual units accumulated in the pool to calculate each user's work order costs. All standard rates are calculated annually and adjusted during the year if necessary.

Business Units using Resource Pools: Accounting, Engineering, Information Technology, Legal and General Counsel, SCG Exec and Corporate Support, and Transmission.

Distinct Allocations: For expenses that cannot be fairly distributed using the aforementioned allocation methodologies, in limited circumstances a distinct allocation may be created by the responsible business unit at the approval of corporate accounting. These allocations may be updated monthly by the business unit.

Basis of distinct allocations include AutoCAD usage, Automated Metering Tower Gateway Base Stations, Bank Accounts, sub-selections of Capacity types, even splits to supported areas, sub-selections of Fossil/Hydro Generation, Fuel Surcharges, Headcount, Imaging Volume, IT inventory levels, Labor, sub-selections of Load, Mainframe usage, Aircraft, Call Center Telephones, Purchase Power Agreement count, Plants receiving Security, Remote Operations services, Recruiting/Hiring Levels, Scrubbers, Selective Voting rights, Square Footage, Transmission usage, Transport Assets, Unit Power Sales Contracts, Units in scope for FERC Critical Infrastructure Protection, Vehicles, Voice Response Unit Calls, and Wholesale Contracts. Distinct Allocations may also be created based upon specific Time Estimates/Labor Profiles.
