NextEra Energy : and NextEra Energy Partners, LP second quarter 2016 release

• NextEra Energy delivers strong operational and financial results
• Florida Power & Light Company continues to invest in the business to strengthen its customer value proposition
• NextEra Energy Resources benefits from contributions from new investments

JUNO BEACH, Fla. - NextEra Energy, Inc. (NYSE: NEE) today reported second-quarter 2016 net income attributable to NextEra Energy on a GAAP basis of $540 million, or $1.16 per share, compared to $716 million, or $1.59 per share, in the second quarter of 2015. On an adjusted basis, NextEra Energy's second-quarter 2016 earnings were $777 million, or $1.67 per share, compared to $699 million, or $1.56 per share, in the second quarter of 2015.

Adjusted earnings for these periods exclude the mark-to-market effects of non-qualifying hedges, as well as the net effect of other than temporary impairments (OTTI) on certain investments and operating results from the Spain solar project. Adjusted earnings also exclude merger-related expenses and, for 2016, the gain on the sale of the Texas natural gas generation facilities.

NextEra Energy's management uses adjusted earnings, which is a non-GAAP financial measure, internally for financial planning, for analysis of performance, for reporting of results to the board of directors and as an input in determining performance-based compensation under the company's employee incentive compensation plans. NextEra Energy also uses earnings expressed in this fashion when communicating its financial results and earnings outlook to analysts and investors. NextEra Energy's management believes that adjusted earnings provide a more meaningful representation of NextEra Energy's fundamental earnings power. The attachments to this news release include a reconciliation of historical adjusted earnings to net income attributable to NextEra Energy, which is the most directly comparable GAAP measure.

'NextEra Energy delivered another successful quarter of strong operational and financial results, highlighted by a seven percent increase in adjusted earnings per share versus the same period last year,' said Jim Robo, chairman and chief executive officer of NextEra Energy. 'At FPL, we had strong growth in the underlying business. Average regulatory capital employed grew 8.4 percent over the same quarter last year, reflecting our continuing commitment of investing new capital in the business to deliver even more value to our customers. We also received terrific news that, for the first time, FPL was awarded J.D. Power's top ranking for having the highest residential customer satisfaction among large utilities in the South. This is a tribute to the nearly 9,000 FPL employees who work hard to deliver a customer value proposition that is second to none. NextEra Energy Resources was a significant driver of growth during the quarter, with strong contributions from new investments. Looking forward, Energy Resources remains poised for another significant installation year and on track with major activities to support the delivery of approximately 2,500 megawatts of new contracted renewables projects in 2016. We believe that the longer-term fundamentals for North American renewables growth have never been stronger and that we are well-positioned to capitalize on opportunities in what we view as one of the best environments for renewables development in recent history.'

Florida Power & Light Company
NextEra Energy's principal rate-regulated electric utility subsidiary, Florida Power & Light Company (FPL), reported second-quarter 2016 net income of $448 million, or $0.96 per share, compared to $435 million, or $0.97 per share, for the prior-year quarter. FPL's contribution to second-quarter adjusted earnings per share was roughly flat, down $0.01 versus the comparable prior-year period. Growth driven by continued investment in the business was offset by share dilution and a negative impact relating to the Florida Supreme Court's decision to reverse the Florida Public Service Commission's (PSC) approval of the company's natural gas reserves program.

FPL continued to successfully execute on its customer value proposition that includes electric bills that are among the lowest in the nation, high reliability, award-winning customer service and one of the cleanest emissions profiles in the U.S. Earlier this month, FPL received the top ranking for residential customer satisfaction among large electric providers in the southern U.S., according to the J.D. Power 2016 Electric Utility Residential Customer Satisfaction Study.

FPL's second-quarter retail sales volume was down 2.5 percent from the prior-year comparable quarter, while its average number of customers increased by approximately 65,000 over the same period.

During the quarter, FPL received site certification for its Okeechobee Clean Energy Center, a new highly fuel-efficient power plant that is scheduled to begin generating affordable clean energy by mid-2019. The Okeechobee Clean Energy Center, which will be fueled by clean, U.S.-produced natural gas, is part of the company's ongoing strategy of modernizing its system by investing in clean, highly fuel-efficient power generation, while phasing out older, less fuel-efficient plants that use coal and oil. Since 2001, FPL's investments in highly efficient natural gas power plants have prevented more than 95 million tons of carbon emissions and saved customers more than $8 billion in fuel costs.

Also in June, FPL filed a petition with the Florida PSC to request approval to purchase a coal-fired power plant located in Indiantown, Fla. FPL is obligated to purchase power from the facility under an existing long-term contract. FPL proposes to purchase the ownership interest in the Indiantown Cogeneration facility for $451 million, including existing debt. Upon taking ownership of the 330-megawatt (MW) Indiantown Cogeneration facility, FPL plans to immediately reduce the plant's operations with the intention of eventually phasing the plant out of service. If approved, the proposal is projected to save FPL customers an estimated $129 million and prevent more than 657,000 tons of carbon dioxide emissions annually, further expanding upon FPL's position as the cleanest energy company in Florida and among the cleanest in the nation.

FPL also continues to make progress on three new solar power plants that will be among the largest solar power facilities ever built in the eastern U.S. Comprising more than 1 million solar panels, the new, cost-effective plants will begin powering FPL customers later this year, tripling the company's use of energy from the sun.

FPL's typical residential bill remains about 30 percent lower than the national average and is the lowest among reporting Florida utilities. In addition, FPL's typical 1,000-kilowatt-hour (kWh) residential customer bill today is lower than it was 10 years ago, down approximately 15 percent compared with 2006 rates.

As announced earlier this year, FPL filed a comprehensive four-year request with the Florida PSC for new base rates that would be phased in beginning in 2017, following the expiration of the company's current rate agreement. During the quarter, nine quality of service hearings were conducted across the company's service area, with an overwhelming majority of participants speaking positively about the service they receive from FPL. The four-year base rate plan would support continued investments in long-term infrastructure and advanced technology, which improve service and help keep customer bills low. With the proposed base rate adjustments and current projections for fuel and other costs, FPL expects its typical residential bill would grow about 2.8 percent per year from January 2016 through the end of 2020, which is about the same rate as the expected rate of inflation. Even with the plan's proposed base rate increase, FPL's typical residential and business customer bills are projected to remain lower than 2006 levels through the year 2020.

NextEra Energy Resources
NextEra Energy Resources, the competitive energy business of NextEra Energy, reported a second-quarter 2016 contribution to net income attributable to NextEra Energy on a GAAP basis of $234 million, or $0.50 per share, compared to $276 million, or $0.61 per share, in the prior-year quarter. On an adjusted basis, NextEra Energy Resources' earnings for the second quarter of 2016 were $313 million, or $0.67 per share, compared to $254 million, or $0.57 per share, for the second quarter of 2015.

NextEra Energy Resources' contribution to second-quarter adjusted earnings per share increased $0.10, or approximately 18 percent, compared to the prior-year quarter. Energy Resources' core business results were primarily driven by contributions from new investments of $0.19 per share, reflecting continued growth in the contracted renewables portfolio and contributions from our gas pipeline projects. Partially offsetting the positive results were a $0.04 per share decline in contributions from the existing portfolio. Interest expense, share dilution and other corporate expenses also increased primarily related to growth in the business.

During the second quarter, the NextEra Energy Resources team continued to execute on its backlog and pursue additional opportunities for contracted renewables development. NextEra Energy Resources continues to expect to bring into service approximately 2,800 to 5,400 MW of new North American renewables projects over the course of the 2017 to 2018 time frame. Over the past few months, the team signed power purchase agreements for approximately 200 MW of U.S. wind projects, bringing the total contracts currently signed for delivery in the 2017 to 2018 time frame to approximately 575 MW. In addition, NextEra Energy Resources is pursuing 327 MW of repowering opportunities at two of its existing wind projects in Texas. Including these repowering opportunities and currently signed contracts for new wind and solar projects, NextEra Energy Resources' 2017 to 2018 renewables backlog is more than 900 MW.

With Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) approval received earlier this year, the company's Sabal Trail Transmission and Florida Southeast Connection pipeline projects remain on track, with operations expected to commence in mid-2017. The Mountain Valley Pipeline joint venture continues to progress through the permitting process with FERC, with commercial operations expected to commence by year-end 2018.

Corporate and Other
In the second quarter of 2016 on a GAAP basis, Corporate and Other earnings decreased $0.31 per share, compared to the prior-year quarter. In the second quarter of 2016 on an adjusted basis, Corporate and Other earnings increased $0.02 per share, compared to the prior-year quarter.

NextEra Energy continues to expect adjusted earnings per share to be in the range of $5.85 to $6.35 for 2016 and in the range of $6.60 to $7.10 for 2018, implying a compound annual growth rate of 6 to 8 percent per year through 2018, off a 2014 base.

NextEra Energy's adjusted earnings expectations exclude the cumulative effect of adopting new accounting standards, the unrealized mark-to-market effect of non-qualifying hedges, as well as net OTTI losses on securities held in NextEra Energy Resources' nuclear decommissioning funds, none of which can be determined at this time. Adjusted earnings expectations also exclude the operating results from the Spain solar project, merger-related expenses and, for 2016, the gain on the sale of the Texas natural gas generation facilities and the impact of the resolution of contingencies related to a previous asset sale. In addition, adjusted earnings expectations assume, among other things: normal weather and operating conditions; continued recovery of the national and the Florida economy; supportive commodity markets; current forward curves; public policy support for wind and solar development and construction; market demand and transmission expansion to support wind and solar development; market demand for pipeline capacity; access to capital at reasonable cost and terms; no divestitures other than to NextEra Energy Partners, LP or acquisitions; no adverse litigation decisions; and no changes to governmental tax policy or incentives. Please see the accompanying cautionary statements for a list of the risk factors that may affect future results.
