For the nine months ended September 30, 2009, the company reported net income attributable to company was $254 million or $0.67 per diluted share on total operating revenues of $5,829 million against net income attributable to company of $653 million or $1.73 per diluted share on total operating revenues of $5,501 million in the same period of last year.

It reaffirmed its 2009 forecast of $1.60 to $1.90 per share in earnings from ongoing operations. Its 2009 forecast of reported earnings is $0.84 to $1.14 per share, reflecting special items recorded through Sept. 30, 2009. It projects earnings from ongoing operations of $1.60 to $1.90 per share in 2009 compared with $2.02 per share in 2008. This projected decline is primarily driven by less favorable currency exchange rates in the U.K. and higher operation and maintenance expenses, higher depreciation and lower delivery revenues in Pennsylvania. The company reaffirmed earnings guidance for the full year 2010. It reaffirmed its 2010 earnings forecast of $3.10 to $3.50 per share. It expects the significant increase in earnings that forecast for 2010 to come almost entirely from increased margins in the company's supply business.
