2005-A
NEXTERA ENERGY INC Annual Report (Amendment), Year Ended Dec 31, 2005
This Form 10-K/A (Amendment No. 1) for fiscal year 2005 was filed by FPL Group, Inc. (the registrant later renamed NextEra Energy, Inc., ticker NEE, which may be the source of the NEE reference) and was filed because the company would not file its 2006 proxy statement within 120 days of year-end. It restates only Part III (Items 10 through 14) and Part IV exhibits, so it contains no financial statements, MD&A, or business description. Investors should read it as a governance and compensation disclosure, not as a financial update. The original 10-K was filed February 23, 2006, and this amendment does not change it except as stated. The most material item is the proposed merger with Constellation Energy Group, signed in December 2005. FPL Group shareholders would own about 60% of the combined company and Constellation shareholders about 40%, with the transaction accounted for as a purchase of Constellation. Completion depends on shareholder and regulatory approvals and is targeted for the end of 2006. Related amendments to executive retention agreements, effective December 18, 2005, state that the merger will not trigger change-in-control benefits, although some executives may rescind this waiver within two to three years after closing if specified adverse events occur. Other disclosures include board changes (the board shrinks from twelve to ten members as H. Jesse Arnelle and Frank G. Zarb retire), CEO Lewis Hay III's 2005 compensation (about $1.0 million salary, $1.74 million bonus, $2.2 million in restricted stock, $7.1 million in LTIP payouts, and 100,000 options), audit fees of $5.53 million for 2005 versus $4.98 million for 2004, and ownership data showing Fidelity Management Trust at 6.3% and Capital Research at 5.3% of common stock. Non-affiliate market value was about $16.5 billion as of June 30, 2005, with 394.9 million shares outstanding.

2002
NEXTERA ENERGY INC Annual Report, Year Ended Dec 31, 2002
NextEra Energy Inc. (NEE), formerly FPL Group, reported its 2002 fiscal year-end results. The company's primary operations consist of Florida Power & Light (FPL), a regulated utility serving millions of customers in Florida, and FPL Energy, focused on non-regulated power projects. FPL's earnings were robust, largely due to regulatory approvals for a new rate agreement effective April 2002, which included a significant revenue reduction but also mechanisms for sharing excess earnings with customers.

From an investor's perspective, the filing details FPL's stable, regulated operations in Florida, characterized by a new three-year rate agreement that includes customer refunds and a revenue-sharing mechanism. It also underscores the growth and increasing importance of FPL Energy, which is actively expanding its independent power projects across various regions and fuel sources, positioning the company to capitalize on emerging opportunities in the deregulating energy market. The report also flags potential risks and regulatory changes, including the ongoing restructuring of Florida's energy market and the formation of regional transmission organizations (RTOs), which could impact future operations and profitability.

2000
NEXTERA ENERGY INC Annual Report, Year Ended Dec 31, 2000
NextEra Energy, Inc. (formerly FPL Group, Inc.) in its 2001 10-K filing reported robust financial performance driven by its primary subsidiary, Florida Power & Light Company (FPL), and its growing unregulated subsidiary, FPL Energy. FPL demonstrated stable revenues from its regulated Florida operations, benefiting from customer growth and operational efficiencies, despite a significant one-time rate reduction implemented in 1999. FPL Energy continued its expansion in the independent power producer market, significantly increasing its generating capacity. The company also announced a significant strategic development: a proposed merger with Entergy Corporation, approved by shareholders in late 2000, which aims to create a larger, more competitive energy company, though regulatory approvals were still pending as of the filing date.

1999
NEXTERA ENERGY INC Annual Report, Year Ended Dec 31, 1999
FPL Group, Inc. (NYSE: NEE, the parent of Florida Power & Light Company) reported 1999 net income of $697 million, or $4.07 per share, up 5.0% from $664 million ($3.85) in 1998. Excluding nonrecurring items (a $176 million pre-tax impairment on the acquired Maine fossil assets, a $42 million after-tax FMPA litigation settlement charge, and gains on the sale of Adelphia stock and a cable partnership interest), net income was $681 million and EPS was $3.98, growth of 2.6% and 3.4%. Results were driven by FPL Energy's expanding independent power portfolio, which grew generating capacity by 60% in 1999, while the regulated utility, FPL, was roughly flat excluding the FMPA charge. FPL's base revenues declined in 1999 because of a three-year rate agreement approved by the FPSC in April 1999 that cut annual retail base revenues by $350 million and lowered the authorized ROE range to 10%-12%. Offsetting this, a new special depreciation program lowered depreciation expense, and FPL reported an achieved ROE of 12.1%. The agreement includes a revenue-sharing mechanism and a 55.83% equity ratio cap, and it bars additional base rate changes during its term, which gives earnings some visibility through 2002. Looking ahead, FPL plans capital expenditures of about $3.1 billion over 2000-2002, FPL Energy is building a 1,000 MW Texas gas plant and has announced about 2,100 MW of further projects, and FPL FiberNet was formed in January 2000 to sell wholesale fiber capacity. Key risks include Florida's unresolved path toward retail competition, FERC RTO requirements, and several litigation matters, including a roughly $2 billion counterclaim by the Palm Beach qualifying-facility partnerships (which management views as meritorious defenses) and the Cedar Bay dispute.

1998
NEXTERA ENERGY INC Annual Report, Year Ended Dec 31, 1998
FPL Group, Inc. (NEE's predecessor name) and its principal subsidiary Florida Power & Light Company (FPL) reported solid 1998 results in this combined 10-K. FPL Group net income rose 7.4% to $664 million and EPS rose 7.8% to $3.85, driven mainly by better results at FPL Energy's independent power projects, particularly natural gas-fired plants. FPL, the regulated utility, generated 96% of operating revenues and 93% of net income, serving about 3.7 million customer accounts across Florida. Retail ROE was 12.6% against an allowed midpoint of 12%, and the company's fundamentals look stable, with operating revenues of $6.66 billion and total assets of $12.0 billion. The main investor concerns are regulatory and litigation risk. In December 1998 the FPSC proposed a settlement lowering FPL's 1999 allowed ROE range to 10.2%-12.2%, but FPL withdrew from it in mid-February 1999, and Public Counsel has petitioned for a full rate proceeding that the FPSC will address in March 1999. Several legal matters are pending, including the FMPA transmission antitrust suit, the qualifying facility dispute, and FPL Energy's effort to back out of the $846 million Central Maine Power asset purchase. Management says it has meritorious defenses and expects no material adverse effect, but the outcomes are uncertain. Growth plans call for about $2.8 billion of FPL capital expenditures over 1999-2001, and the year 2000 remediation cost is capped at about $50 million. Near-term catalysts include the FPSC rate proceeding, the Central Maine trial scheduled for March 1999, and the January 1999 sale of Adelphia stock, which produced an after-tax gain of about $96 million. Investors will want to watch how regulatory outcomes affect the earnings growth that management has been delivering.

1997
NEXTERA ENERGY INC Annual Report, Year Ended Dec 31, 1997
FPL Group, Inc. (NYSE: NEE in later years; ticker FPL in this filing) reported 1997 net income of $618 million, up 6.7% from $579 million in 1996, and earnings per share of $3.57 (basic and diluted), up 7.2% from $3.33. Growth was driven mainly by better results in non-utility operations, particularly ESI Energy's independent power projects, while Florida Power & Light Company (FPL), the regulated utility that generates about 96% of operating revenues, produced net income available to FPL Group of $608 million. FPL's base rates were unchanged in 1997, and its retail regulatory ROE was 12.3% against an FPSC authorized range of 11% to 13%. Total assets were $12.4 billion at year-end, and long-term debt declined to $2.9 billion from $3.1 billion. Management is positioning the company for competition. In January 1998 it formed FPL Energy to hold non-regulated generation, acquired interests in two Northeast power plants, and agreed to buy Central Maine Power's non-nuclear generation assets, a deal expected to close in the second half of 1998 pending regulatory approval. Committed energy-related acquisitions total $1.1 billion for 1998, and planned utility capital expenditures are about $1.8 billion for 1998 through 2000. Capital needs are expected to be met with internally generated funds and debt issuances. Key risks include a December 1997 petition by a large FPL customer seeking to cut base rates and reduce the authorized ROE, which management cannot predict the outcome of. Other exposures include a roughly $2 billion counterclaim by the Palm Beach County qualifying-facility partnerships, the FMPA transmission antitrust suit seeking $140 million before trebling, and the unresolved Orimulsion permit at the Manatee plant. The DOE's failure to begin accepting spent nuclear fuel also remains a long-term issue for FPL's nuclear units.

1996
NEXTERA ENERGY INC Annual Report, Year Ended Dec 31, 1996
FPL Group, Inc. (NYSE: NEE, parent of Florida Power & Light Company) reported 1996 results in this combined 10-K for FPL Group and FPL. Consolidated net income rose to $579.5 million ($3.33 per share) from $553.3 million ($3.16) in 1995, and operating revenues increased about 8% to $6.04 billion. Growth was driven mainly by FPL's service territory expansion (customer accounts up roughly 2%) and higher fuel and capacity clause pass-through revenues. Earnings were supported by management's cost-reduction efforts, including lower O&M expenses and accelerated amortization under an FPSC-approved special amortization program ($160 million recorded in 1996). Note that the 1996 effective tax rate of 33.6% was lower than in prior years, partly reflecting that amortization of deferred investment tax credits. FPL's regulated retail business accounts for roughly 97-99% of revenues and earns a retail regulatory ROE of 12.1%, within the FPSC's authorized 11%-13% range. Balance sheet deleveraging continued: long-term debt fell to $3.14 billion from $3.38 billion, and more than $1.3 billion of debt, preferred stock and commercial paper was retired over three years. The board also authorized repurchase of up to 10 million shares in February 1997, and the dividend held at $1.84 per share for 1996. Key risks include the St. Lucie nuclear plant's operational problems and NRC scrutiny, the planned steam generator replacement at St. Lucie Unit 1 (which will lift 1997 capital expenditures to about $590 million), pending FMPA antitrust litigation seeking $140 million before trebling, the Orimulsion permit denial at Manatee, and the long-term possibility of retail competition and deregulation in Florida. Management does not expect any of these to have a material adverse effect on financial statements, though a decision against FPL in the FMPA suit could do so.

1995
NEXTERA ENERGY INC Annual Report, Year Ended Dec 31, 1995
FPL Group, Inc. (NEE's predecessor name, parent of Florida Power & Light Company) reported 1995 net income of $553.3 million, or $3.16 per share, up from $518.7 million ($2.91 per share) in 1994. Operating revenues rose to $5.59 billion from $5.42 billion. FPL, the regulated utility that drives roughly 97-98% of revenues, served about 3.5 million customer accounts across Florida. The retail regulatory ROE was 12.3% in both 1995 and 1994, within the FPSC-authorized 11%-13% band with a 12% midpoint. Growth in earnings came against a backdrop of aggressive cost control: FPL cut its workforce by about 8,500 positions (38%) since 1990, and O&M expense fell to $1.21 billion from $1.30 billion, though depreciation rose sharply to $918 million, largely from special nuclear amortization and a higher decommissioning accrual. The balance sheet is de-leveraging. Long-term debt fell to $3.38 billion from $3.86 billion, and total assets declined to $12.46 billion. Capital expenditures are shrinking, with about $1.5 billion planned for 1996-1998 and no new generating plants expected before 2004. The company also repurchased 1.9 million shares in 1995 and authorized up to 10 million more through 1997. Dividends were cut in 1994 from $.62 to $.42 per quarter and held at $.44 per quarter in 1995, reflecting management's view that competitive pressures warrant retaining more earnings rather than paying out a high share. Key risks for investors include the threat of retail competition and possible move away from cost-of-service regulation, several litigation matters (notably FMPA transmission claims seeking $140 million, and a Dade County cogeneration antitrust suit seeking over $100 million before trebling, which the company is working to settle), a pending FPSC decision on accelerated nuclear cost recovery expected by mid-1996, and a FERC open-access transmission rulemaking. Management states that the pending suits are not expected to have a material adverse effect, though it acknowledges they could if the company does not prevail.

1993
NEXTERA ENERGY INC Annual Report, Year Ended Dec 31, 1993
FPL Group, Inc. (NYSE: FPL, parent of Florida Power & Light) reported 1993 net income of $428.7 million, or $2.30 per share, down from $466.9 million ($2.65) in 1992. The decline was driven by a $138 million pretax cost reduction program (about $85 million after tax, or $0.45 per share) that included a workforce cut of roughly 1,700 positions. Excluding that charge, earnings would have been roughly flat to up from the prior year. Total operating revenues rose 2.4% to $5.32 billion, and FPL's retail electric sales grew 4.0% on 2.1% customer growth, with the utility providing about 98% of group revenues. Total assets grew to $13.1 billion, and the balance sheet remained solid, with common equity of $4.1 billion and long-term debt reduced to $3.75 billion from $3.96 billion. The outlook centers on a $3.7 billion FPL capital construction program for 1994-1998, including $879 million in 1994, funded mainly by internal cash flow and new FPL debt, preferred stock and commercial paper. Management expects other operations and maintenance expense to decline in 1994 and plans to add 1,090 MW of capacity through 1995, mainly the Martin Units 3 and 4 and a Scherer Unit 4 acquisition. Non-utility businesses are being wound down: Colonial Penn was sold in 1991, and the remaining cable television and real estate assets are being sold, with management saying these sales should not significantly affect net income. Key risks include ongoing antitrust suits (Praxair and a cogeneration suit seeking over $100 million before trebling), a Telesat-related suit seeking more than $24 million, FERC wholesale transmission proceedings, the replacement of St. Lucie Unit 1 steam generators, and uncertainty over EMF health and regulatory issues. Management believes the litigation will not have a material adverse effect on its financial statements.
