First, I started with total net operating income as shown on line and removed the federal income tax expense based on a % rate. To remove the expense, I added it back to net income. The tax amounts on line are from line, Federal Income Taxes. I then reduced income for the Federal tax expense based on a % rate, as reflected on line. These federal tax amounts are from Exhibit A-, Schedule C. The amount in column (c) is from line on page of Schedule C, and the amount in column (e) is from line on page of Schedule C. The result of removing Federal taxes at % and including Federal taxes at % is shown on line, Updated Net Operating Income. Q. What is the approved net operating income amount updated for the new Federal tax rate? A. Net operating income without rate relief is $. million as shown on line, column (c). This amount is carried to Witness Suchta s Exhibit A-, Schedule A, line, column (d). 0 Q. What does the revenue sufficiency shown on Schedule C, line represent? A. Lines through on Schedule C calculate the amount of revenue currently included in base rates in excess of the revenue deficiency approved in Case U- adjusted for lower tax expense. I included this as a reconciliation to the change in the revenue requirement as calculated by Witness Suchta on Exhibit A-, Schedule A, column (e). TMU -

32 T. M. UZENSKI Line U-00 0 Q. How is the amount on line calculated? A. In Case U-, the Commission approved a required net operating income of $. million, as shown on line, column (e). All else being equal, the Company will recognize $. million of income because it will incur less tax expense than it is collecting from customers. This is shown on line, column (e), and is calculated by removing the tax amount (on line ) included in the $. million, and replacing it with federal taxes based on % rate (line ). The difference between the approved net income amount, and the updated amount of $. million is $. million, as shown on line. I then grossed up the change in the income requirement by applying the updated conversion factor on line to derive the $. million on line. This figure ties to Witness Suchta s calculation on Exhibit A-. It represents the reduction in revenue that is needed due to the reduction in the tax rate. This reduction does not reflect any impacts from re-measuring deferred taxes, re-balancing the capital structure, or any other adjustments. Those items will be addressed in the Calculation C filing. Q. Does this complete your direct testimony? A. Yes, it does. TMU -
