Item
7.01. Regulation FD Disclosure
OGE
Energy Corp. (the “Company”) is the parent company of Oklahoma Gas and Electric
Company (“OG&E”), a regulated electric utility with approximately 777,000
customers in Oklahoma and western Arkansas, and Enogex LLC and its subsidiaries
(“Enogex”), a midstream natural gas pipeline business with principal operations
in Oklahoma.
On March
10 and 11, 2010, the Company is scheduled to make a financial presentation with
certain investors to discuss, among other things, the Company’s corporate
strategy, OG&E overview and regulatory plan, Enogex overview and reaffirming
the Company’s 2010 earnings guidance. The Company’s 2010 earnings
guidance is between approximately $265 million and $290 million of net income,
or $2.70 to $2.95 per average diluted share. The key factors and assumptions
underlying 2010 earnings guidance are discussed in the Company’s Form 10-K for
the year ended December 31, 2009.
Some of
the matters discussed in this presentation may contain forward-looking
statements that are subject to certain risks, uncertainties and
assumptions. Such forward-looking statements are intended to be
identified in this document by the words “anticipate”, “believe”, “estimate”,
“expect”, “intend”, “objective”, “plan”, “possible”, “potential”, “project” and
similar expressions. Actual results may vary
materially. Factors that could cause actual results to differ
materially include, but are not limited to: general economic conditions,
including the availability of credit, access to existing lines of credit,
actions of rating agencies and their impact on capital expenditures; the
Company’s ability and the ability of its subsidiaries to access the capital
markets and obtain financing on favorable terms; prices and availability of
electricity, coal, natural gas and natural gas liquids, each on a stand-alone
basis and in relation to each other; business conditions in the energy and
natural gas midstream industries; competitive factors including the extent and
timing of the entry of additional competition in the markets served by the
Company; unusual weather; availability and prices of raw materials for current
and future construction projects; Federal or state legislation and regulatory
decisions and initiatives that affect cost and investment recovery, have an
impact on rate structures or affect the speed and degree to which competition
enters the Company’s markets; environmental laws and regulations that may impact
the Company’s operations; changes in accounting standards, rules or guidelines;
the discontinuance of accounting principles for certain types of rate-regulated
activities; creditworthiness of suppliers, customers and other contractual
parties; the higher degree of risk associated with the Company’s nonregulated
business compared with the Company’s regulated utility business; and other risk
factors listed in the reports filed by the Company with the Securities and
Exchange Commission including those listed in Risk Factors and Exhibit 99.01 to
the Company’s Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009.
