Southwest Gas Holdings Inc

In 2015, the Board of Directors (“Board”) of Southwest Gas Corporation authorized management to evaluate and pursue a holding company reorganization to provide further separation between regulated and unregulated businesses, and to provide additional financing flexibility. As part of the holding company reorganization, Centuri Construction Group, Inc. (“Centuri”) and Southwest Gas Corporation would each be subsidiaries of the new publicly traded parent holding company, Southwest Gas Holdings, Inc. (“Southwest Gas Holdings”); whereas, historically, Centuri had been a direct subsidiary of Southwest Gas Corporation. All of Southwest Gas Corporation’s outstanding debt securities (not associated with Centuri) at the time of the reorganization would remain at the Southwest Gas utility entity. Regulatory applications for preapproval of the reorganization were filed with the Arizona Corporation Commission (“ACC”), the California Public Utilities Commission (“CPUC”), and the Public Utilities Commission of Nevada (“PUCN”) in October 2015. Approvals were received from the CPUC, the PUCN, and the ACC in January, March, and May, respectively, of 2016. The reorganization, which was approved by the Board of Directors in December 2016, became effective in January 2017. Each outstanding share of Southwest Gas Corporation’s common stock automatically converted into a share of stock in Southwest Gas Holdings, on a one-for-one basis, and the ticker symbol of the stock, “SWX,” remains unchanged. This report is as of the balance sheet date of December 31, 2016 and periods up to that date (prior to the effective date of the holding company formation), with disclosures, where appropriate, for events following that date. Throughout this report, the “Company” refers to Southwest Gas Corporation and subsidiaries for periods prior to January 1, 2017 and to Southwest Gas Holdings, Inc. and subsidiaries for periods subsequent to December 31, 2016.

The Company was incorporated in March 1931 under the laws of the state of California. The Company is composed of two business segments: natural gas operations (“Southwest” or the “natural gas operations” segment) and construction services.

Southwest is engaged in the business of purchasing, distributing, and transporting natural gas for customers in portions of Arizona, Nevada, and California. Southwest is the largest distributor of natural gas in Arizona, selling and transporting natural gas in most of central and southern Arizona, including the Phoenix and Tucson metropolitan areas. Southwest is also the largest distributor of natural gas in Nevada, serving the Las Vegas metropolitan area and northern Nevada. In addition, Southwest distributes and transports natural gas for customers in portions of California, including the Lake Tahoe area and the high desert and mountain areas in San Bernardino County.

Centuri (the “construction services” segment), a 96.6% owned subsidiary of the Company, is a comprehensive construction services enterprise dedicated to meeting the growing demands of North American utilities, energy and industrial markets. Centuri derives revenue from installation, replacement, repair, and maintenance of energy distribution systems, and developing industrial construction solutions primarily for energy services utilities. Centuri operations are generally conducted under the business names of NPL Construction Co. (“NPL”), NPL Canada Ltd. (“NPL Canada”, formerly Link-Line Contractors Ltd.), W.S. Nicholls Construction, Inc. and related companies (“W.S. Nicholls”), and Brigadier Pipelines Inc. (“Brigadier”). In May 2016, Centuri completed the acquisition of two privately held, affiliated construction businesses: Enterprise Trenchless Technologies, Inc. and ETTI Holdings (collectively, “ETTI”).

Rates that Southwest is authorized to charge its distribution system customers are determined by the ACC, PUCN, and CPUC in general rate cases and are derived using rate base, cost of service, and cost of capital experienced in an historical test year, as adjusted in Arizona and Nevada, and projected for a future test year in California. The FERC regulates the northern Nevada transmission and liquefied natural gas (“LNG”) storage facilities of Paiute Pipeline Company (“Paiute”), a wholly owned subsidiary, and the rates it charges for transportation of gas directly to certain end-users and to various local distribution companies (“LDCs”). The LDCs transporting on the Paiute system are: NV Energy (serving Reno and Sparks, Nevada) and Southwest (serving Truckee, South and North Lake Tahoe in California and various locations throughout northern Nevada).

Rates charged to customers vary according to customer class and rate jurisdiction and are set at levels that are intended to allow for the recovery of all prudently incurred costs, including a return on rate base sufficient to pay interest on debt as well as a reasonable return on common equity. Rate base consists generally of the original cost of utility plant in service net of amounts associated with costs borne by third parties, plus certain other assets such as working capital and inventories, less accumulated depreciation on utility plant in service, net deferred income tax liabilities, and certain other deductions.

Rate structures in all service territories allow Southwest to separate or “decouple” the recovery of operating margin from natural gas consumption, though decoupled structures (alternative revenue programs), vary by state. In California, authorized operating margin levels vary by month. In Nevada, a decoupled rate structure applies to most customer classes providing stability in annual operating margin. In Arizona, a full revenue decoupling mechanism (currently, with a winter-period monthly weather adjuster) is in place for most customer classes.

Southwest is responsible for acquiring and arranging delivery of natural gas to its system in sufficient quantities to meet its sales customers’ needs. Southwest’s primary natural gas procurement objective is to ensure that adequate supplies of natural gas are available at a reasonable cost. Southwest acquires natural gas from a wide variety of sources and a mix of purchase provisions, which includes spot market and firm supplies. The purchases may have terms from one day to several years and utilize both fixed and indexed pricing. During 2016, Southwest acquired natural gas from 40 suppliers. Southwest regularly monitors the number of suppliers, their performance, and their relative contribution to the overall customer supply portfolio. New suppliers are contracted when possible, and solicitations for supplies are extended to the largest practicable list of suppliers, taking into account each supplier’s creditworthiness. Competitive pricing, flexibility in meeting Southwest’s requirements, and demonstrated reliability of service are instrumental to any one supplier’s inclusion in Southwest’s portfolio. The goal of this practice is to mitigate the risk of nonperformance by any one supplier and ensure competitive prices in the portfolio.
