THE AES CORPORATION

For the Three and Six Months Ended June 30, 2013 and 2012
1. FINANCIAL STATEMENT PRESENTATION
The prior-period condensed consolidated financial statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (“Form 10-Q”) have been reclassified to reflect the businesses held for sale and discontinued operations as discussed in Note 14 — Discontinued Operations and Held for Sale Businesses.
Consolidation
In this Quarterly Report the terms “AES,” “the Company,” “us” or “we” refer to the consolidated entity including its subsidiaries and affiliates. The terms “The AES Corporation,” “the Parent” or “the Parent Company” refer only to the publicly held holding company, The AES Corporation, excluding its subsidiaries and affiliates. Furthermore, variable interest entities (“VIEs”) in which the Company has a variable interest have been consolidated where the Company is the primary beneficiary. Investments in which the Company has the ability to exercise significant influence, but not control, are accounted for using the equity method of accounting. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.
Interim Financial Presentation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and footnotes have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”), as contained in the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification, for interim financial information and Article 10 of Regulation S-X issued by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Accordingly, they do not include all the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for annual fiscal reporting periods. In the opinion of management, the interim financial information includes all adjustments of a normal recurring nature necessary for a fair presentation of the results of operations, financial position, comprehensive income and cash flows. The results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2013. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements are unaudited and should be read in conjunction with the 2012 audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto, which are included in the 2012 Form 10-K filed with the SEC on February 26, 2013 (the “ 2012 Form 10-K”).
Accounting Pronouncements Issued But Not Yet Effective
The following accounting standards have been issued, but are not yet effective for, and have not been adopted by AES.
ASU No. 2013-11, Income Taxes (Topic 740), "Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Operating Loss Carryforward, a Similar Tax Loss, or a Tax Credit Carryforward Exists (a consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force)."
In July 2013, the FASB issued ASU No. 2013-11, which requires the netting of unrecognized tax benefits (“UTBs”) against a deferred tax asset for a loss or other carryforward that would apply in settlement of uncertain tax positions.  Under the new standard, UTBs will be netted against all available same-jurisdiction loss or other tax carryforwards that would be utilized, rather than only against carryforwards that are created by the UTBs.  ASU No. 2013-11 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2013 and interim periods therein.  The new standard requires prospective adoption, but allows optional retrospective adoption.  Early adoption is permitted.  The Company is currently evaluating the method of adoption and the impact of adopting ASU No. 2013-11 on the Company's financial position.  It will have no impact on the results of operations and cash flows.
ASU No. 2013-7, Presentation of Financial Statements (Topic 205), "Liquidation Basis of Accounting"
In April 2013, the FASB issued ASU No. 2013-7, which requires an entity to prepare financial statements on a liquidation basis when liquidation is imminent, unless the liquidation is the same as the plan specified in an entity's governing documents created at its inception. Under the liquidation basis of accounting, an entity will measure and present assets at the estimated amount of cash proceeds or other consideration that it expects to collect in settling or disposing of those assets in carrying out its plan for liquidation. This includes assets the entity previously had not recognized under U.S. GAAP, but expects to either sell in liquidation or use in settling liabilities (for example, trademarks). An entity will recognize and measure its liabilities in accordance with U.S. GAAP that otherwise applies to those liabilities. An entity should not anticipate it will be legally released from being the primary obligor under those liabilities, either judicially or by creditors. An entity will also accrue and separately present the costs it expects to incur and the income it expects to earn during the course of the liquidation, including any costs

associated with the disposal or settlement of its assets and liabilities. ASU No. 2013-7 also requires additional disclosures. ASU No. 2013-7 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2013. Early adoption is permitted. The adoption of ASU No, 2013-7 is not expected to have a significant impact on the Company's consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows.
ASU No. 2013-5, Foreign Currency Matters (Topic 830), “Parent’s Accounting for the Cumulative Translation Adjustment upon Derecognition of Certain Subsidiaries or Groups of Assets within a Foreign Entity or of an Investment in a Foreign Entity.”
In March 2013, the FASB issued ASU No. 2013-5, which requires an entity to release any related cumulative translation adjustment into net income when it ceases to have a controlling financial interest in a subsidiary or group of assets that is a business (other than a sale of in-substance real estate) within a foreign entity. Accordingly, the cumulative translation adjustment should be released into net income only if the sale or transfer results in the complete or substantially complete liquidation of the foreign entity in which the subsidiary or group of assets had resided. For an equity method investment that is a foreign entity, the partial sale guidance still applies. As such, a pro rata portion of the cumulative translation adjustment should be released into net income upon a partial sale of such an equity method investment. In those instances, the cumulative adjustment is released into net income only if the partial sale represents a complete or substantially complete liquidation of the foreign entity that contains the equity method investment. The amendments are effective prospectively for fiscal years (and interim reporting periods within those years) beginning after December 15, 2013. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting ASU No. 2013-5 on the Company’s financial position and results of operations.

3 . FAIR VALUE
The fair value of current financial assets and liabilities, debt service reserves and other deposits approximate their reported carrying amounts. The estimated fair value of the Company’s assets and liabilities have been determined using available market information. By virtue of these amounts being estimates and based on hypothetical transactions to sell assets or transfer liabilities, the use of different market assumptions and/or estimation methodologies may have a material effect on the estimated fair value amounts. There were no changes in fair valuation techniques during the period and the Company continues to follow the valuation techniques described in Note 4. — Fair Value in Item 8. — Financial Statements and Supplementary Data of its 2012 Form 10-K.

Nonrecurring Measurements
When evaluating impairment of long-lived assets, discontinued operations and held for sale businesses, and equity method investments the Company measures fair value using the applicable fair value measurement guidance. Impairment expense is measured by comparing the fair value of asset groups at the evaluation date to their carrying amount. The following table summarizes major categories of assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis during the period and their level within the fair value hierarchy:

4. INVESTMENTS IN MARKETABLE SECURITIES
The Company’s investments in marketable debt and equity securities as of June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012 by security class and by level within the fair value hierarchy have been disclosed in Note 3 — Fair Value . The security classes are determined based on the nature and risk of a security and are consistent with how the Company manages, monitors and measures its marketable securities. As of June 30, 2013 , all available-for-sale debt securities had stated maturities within one year.
The following table summarizes the pretax gains and losses related to available-for-sale and trading securities for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012 . Gains and losses on the sale of investments are determined using the specific identification method. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012 , there were no realized losses on the sale of available-for-sale securities and no other-than-temporary impairment of marketable securities recognized in earnings or other comprehensive income.

Credit Risk-Related Contingent Features
DP&L, our utility in Ohio, has certain over-the-counter commodity derivative contracts under master netting agreements that contain provisions that require DP&L to maintain an investment-grade issuer credit rating from credit rating agencies. Since their rating has fallen below investment grade, certain of the counterparties to the derivative contracts have requested immediate and ongoing full overnight collateralization of the mark-to-market loss (fair value excluding credit valuation adjustments), which was $14 million and $13 million as of June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012 , respectively, for all derivatives with credit risk-related contingent features. As of June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012 , DP&L had posted $5 million and $5 million , respectively, of cash collateral directly with third parties and in a broker margin account and DP&L held no cash collateral from counterparties to its derivative instruments that were in an asset position. After consideration of the netting of counterparty assets, DP&L could have been required to, but did not, provide additional collateral of $3 million and $2 million as of June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012 .

6 . LONG-TERM FINANCING RECEIVABLES
Long-term financing receivables represent receivables from certain Latin American governmental bodies, primarily in Argentina, that have contractual maturities of greater than one year pursuant to amended agreements or government resolutions. These financing receivables are included in “Noncurrent assets — other” in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.
As a result of energy market reforms in 2004 and consistent with contractual arrangements, certain of our subsidiaries entered into three agreements with the Argentine government called Fondos de inversion Mercado Electrico Mayorista (“Foninvemem Agreements”) to contribute a portion of their accounts receivable into a fund for financing the construction of

15



combined cycle and gas-fired plants. These financing receivables accrue interest and are collected in monthly installments over 10 years once the related plant begins operations. In addition, these subsidiaries receive an ownership interest in these newly built plants once the receivables have been fully repaid. The financing receivables under the first two Foninvemem Agreements are being actively collected since the related plants commenced operations in 2010. However, the financing receivables related to the third Foninvemem Agreement are not currently due as commercial operation of the two related gas-fired turbines has not been achieved. In June 2013, receivables relating to the 2008-2009 period, which were previously covered under Resolution 724/2008 were contributed to FONINVEMEM III project when the Execution Committee of Central Térmica Guillermo Brown Trust instructed that the EPC contract negotiations be initiated on the two gas turbines simultaneously. The construction of the second gas turbine represents an expansion of the original FONINVEMEM III project, and consequently, the Secretary of Energy formally accepted the contribution of Resolution 724/2008 receivables to fund the expansion.
On March 26, 2013, the Argentine government passed Resolution No. 95/2013 ("Resolution 95") to develop a new energy regulatory framework that would apply to all generation companies with certain exceptions. The new regulatory framework remunerates fixed and variable costs plus a margin that will depend on both the technology and fuel used to generate the electricity. To qualify, each generator needs to adhere to the preconditions under Resolution 95. On May 31, 2013, these subsidiaries sent a letter to adhere to such preconditions which made Resolution 95 effective retroactively to February 1, 2013. During June 2013, CAMMESA, the administrator of the wholesale electricity market in Argentina, started the implementation by billing the transactions according to the Resolution 95 procedures. In addition, according to Resolution 95 any outstanding receivables which have not been previously committed for the execution of other projects and/or for the maintenance of existing facilities shall be contributed into the new trusts. This would affect 2012-2013 receivables and may also impact outstanding receivables from 2011.
Collection of these financing receivables is subject to various business risks and uncertainties including timely payment of principal and interest, completion and operation of power plants which generate cash for payments of these receivables, regulatory changes that could impact the timing and amount of collections and economic conditions in Argentina. The Company periodically analyzes each of these factors and assesses collectability of the related financing receivables. The Company’s collection estimates are based on assumptions that it believes to be reasonable but are inherently uncertain. Actual future cash flows could differ from these estimates.
The following table sets forth the breakdown of financing receivables by country as of June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012 . The increase in long-term financing receivables from December 31, 2012 is primarily due to the incorporation of Resolution 724/ 2008 receivables in FONINVEMEM III project as mentioned above partially offset by a decrease due to the impact of foreign currency translation.

7. DEBT
Recourse Debt — On April 30, 2013, the Company issued $500 million aggregate principal amount of 4.875% senior notes due 2023. On May 17, 2013, the Company issued an additional $ 250 million aggregate principal amount of 4.875% senior notes due 2023 to form a single series with the notes issued on April 30, 2013. After this offering, the Company completed the redemption of $928 million aggregate principal of its existing 7.75% senior notes due 2014, 7.75% senior notes due 2015, 9.75% senior notes due 2016, and 8.0% senior notes due 2017 through respective tender offers in May 2013. In June 2013, the Company redeemed an additional $122 million of its 7.75% senior notes due 2014 as per the optional redemption provisions of the senior note indentures. As a result of these transactions, the Company voluntarily reduced outstanding principal by $300 million and extended maturities of an additional $750 million to 10 years . The Company recognized a loss on extinguishment of debt of $163 million on these transactions that is included in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations.

Debt in default
The following table summarizes the Company’s subsidiary non-recourse debt in default or accelerated as of June 30, 2013 and is classified as current non-recourse debt unless otherwise indicated:

The above defaults are not payment defaults, but are instead technical defaults triggered by failure to comply with other covenants and/or other conditions such as (but not limited to) failure to meet information covenants, complete construction or other milestones in an allocated time, meet certain minimum or maximum financial ratios, or other requirements contained in the non-recourse debt documents of the Company.
In addition, in the event that there is a default, bankruptcy or maturity acceleration at a subsidiary or group of subsidiaries that meets the applicable definition of materiality under the corporate debt agreements of The AES Corporation, there could be a cross-default to the Company’s recourse debt. As of June 30, 2013 , none of the defaults listed above individually or in the aggregate results in a cross-default under the recourse debt of the Company.

8. CONTINGENCIES AND COMMITMENTS
Guarantees, Letters of Credit and Commitments
In connection with certain project financing, acquisition, power purchase and other agreements, AES has expressly undertaken limited obligations and commitments, most of which will only be effective or will be terminated upon the occurrence of future events. In the normal course of business, AES has entered into various agreements, mainly guarantees and letters of credit, to provide financial or performance assurance to third parties on behalf of AES businesses. These agreements are entered into primarily to support or enhance the creditworthiness otherwise achieved by a business on a stand-alone basis, thereby facilitating the availability of sufficient credit to accomplish their intended business purposes. Most of the contingent obligations relate to future performance commitments which the Company or its businesses expect to fulfill within the normal course of business. The expiration dates of these guarantees vary from less than one year to more than 21 years.
The following table summarizes the Parent Company’s contingent contractual obligations as of June 30, 2013 . Amounts presented in the table below represent the Parent Company’s current undiscounted exposure to guarantees and the range of maximum undiscounted potential exposure. The maximum exposure is not reduced by the amounts, if any, that could be recovered under the recourse or collateralization provisions in the guarantees. The amounts include obligations made by the Parent Company for the direct benefit of the lenders associated with the non-recourse debt of its businesses of $24 million .

During the three months ended June 30, 2013 , the Company paid letter of credit fees ranging from 0.25% to 3.25% per annum on the outstanding amounts of letters of credit.
Environmental
The Company periodically reviews its obligations as they relate to compliance with environmental laws, including site restoration and remediation. As of June 30, 2013 , the Company had recorded liabilities of $12 million for projected environmental remediation costs. Due to the uncertainties associated with environmental assessment and remediation activities, future costs of compliance or remediation could be higher or lower than the amount currently accrued. Moreover, where no reserve has been recognized, it is reasonably possible that the Company may be required to incur remediation costs or make expenditures in amounts that could be material but could not be estimated as of June 30, 2013 . In aggregate, the Company estimates that the range of potential losses related to environmental matters, where estimable, to be up to $22 million . The amounts considered reasonably possible do not include amounts reserved as discussed above.
Litigation
The Company is involved in certain claims, suits and legal proceedings in the normal course of business. The Company accrues for litigation and claims when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of loss can be reasonably estimated. The Company has evaluated claims in accordance with the accounting guidance for contingencies that it deems both probable and reasonably estimable and, accordingly, has recorded aggregate reserves for all claims of approximately $320 million and $321 million as of June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012 , respectively. These reserves are reported on the condensed consolidated balance sheets within “accrued and other liabilities” and “other noncurrent liabilities.” A significant portion of the reserves relate to employment, non-income tax and customer disputes in international jurisdictions, principally Brazil. Certain of the Company’s subsidiaries, principally in Brazil, are defendants in a number of labor and employment lawsuits. The complaints generally seek unspecified monetary damages, injunctive relief, or other relief. The subsidiaries have denied any liability and intend to vigorously defend themselves in all of these proceedings. There can be no assurance that these reserves will be adequate to cover all existing and future claims or that we will have the liquidity to pay such claims as they arise.
The Company believes, based upon information it currently possesses and taking into account established reserves for liabilities and its insurance coverage, that the ultimate outcome of these proceedings and actions is unlikely to have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. However, where no reserve has been recognized, it is reasonably possible that some matters could be decided unfavorably to the Company and could require the Company to pay damages or make expenditures in amounts that could be material but could not be estimated as of June 30, 2013 . The material contingencies where a loss is reasonably possible primarily include: claims under financing agreements; disputes with offtakers, suppliers and EPC contractors; alleged violation of monopoly laws and regulations; income tax and non-income tax matters with tax authorities; and regulatory matters. In aggregate, the Company estimates that the range of potential losses, where estimable, related to these reasonably possible material contingencies to be between $883 million and $1.6 billion . The amounts considered reasonably possible do not include amounts reserved, as discussed above. These material contingencies do not include income tax-related contingencies which are considered part of our uncertain tax positions.

Stock Repurchase Program
During the three months ended June 30, 2013 , shares of common stock repurchased under the existing stock repurchase program (the "Program") totaled 1,558,900 at a total cost of $18 million . The cumulative total purchases under the Program totaled 60,274,089 shares at a total cost of $698 million , which includes a nominal amount of commissions (average of $11.58 per share including commissions). As of June 30, 2013 , $282 million was available under the Program.

The common stock repurchased has been classified as treasury stock and accounted for using the cost method. A total of 67,103,992 and 66,415,984 shares were held as treasury stock at June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012 , respectively. Restricted stock units under the Company’s employee benefit plans are issued from treasury stock. The Company has not retired any common stock repurchased since it began the Program.
Subsequent to June 30, 2013 , the Company, repurchased an additional 3,738,142 shares at a cost of $45 million , bringing the cumulative total through August 7, 2013 to 64,012,231 shares at a total cost of $743 million (average price of $11.60 per share including commissions).
11 . SEGMENTS
The segment reporting structure uses the Company’s management reporting structure as its foundation to reflect how the Company manages the business internally with further aggregation by geographic regions to provide better socio-political-economic understanding of our business. The management reporting structure is organized along six strategic business units (“SBUs”) — led by our Chief Operating Officer (“COO”), who in turn reports to our Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”). For the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 , the Company applied the accounting guidance for segment reporting which provides certain qualitative and quantitative thresholds and aggregation criteria. The Company concluded that the Gener operating segment met the quantitative threshold to require separate presentation. As such, an additional reportable segment, which consists solely of the results of Gener, is now reported as Andes — Gener — Generation. Gener was previously included as part of the Andes — Generation reportable segment. All of the remaining businesses that were formerly part of the Andes — Generation reportable segment are now reported as Andes — Other — Generation. All prior-period results have been retrospectively revised to reflect the new segment reporting structure. The Company has increased from eight to the following nine reportable segments based on the six strategic business units:

•
US — Generation;
•
US — Utilities;
•
Andes — Gener — Generation;
•
Andes — Other — Generation;
•
Brazil — Generation;
•
Brazil — Utilities;
•
MCAC — Generation;
•
EMEA — Generation; and
•
Asia — Generation.
Corporate and Other — The Company’s EMEA and MCAC Utilities operating segments are reported within “Corporate and Other” because they do not meet the criteria to allow for aggregation with another operating segment or the quantitative thresholds that would require separate disclosure under the segment reporting accounting guidance. None of these operating segments are currently material to our presentation of reportable segments, individually or in the aggregate. AES Solar and certain other unconsolidated businesses are accounted for using the equity method of accounting; therefore, their operating results are included in “Net Equity in Earnings of Affiliates” on the face of the Consolidated Statements of Operations, not in revenue or Adjusted pre-tax contribution (“Adjusted PTC”). “Corporate and Other” also includes corporate overhead costs which are not directly associated with the operations of our nine reportable segments and other intercompany charges such as self-insurance premiums which are fully eliminated in consolidation.
The Company uses Adjusted PTC as its primary segment performance measure. Adjusted PTC, a non-GAAP measure, is defined by the Company as pre-tax income from continuing operations attributable to AES excluding unrealized gains or losses related to derivative transactions, unrealized foreign currency gains or losses, gains or losses due to dispositions and acquisitions of business interests, losses due to impairments and costs due to the early retirement of debt. The Company has concluded that Adjusted PTC best reflects the underlying business performance of the Company and is the most relevant measure considered in the Company’s internal evaluation of the financial performance of its segments. Additionally, given its large number of businesses and complexity, the Company concluded that Adjusted PTC is a more transparent measure that better assists the investor in determining which businesses have the greatest impact on the overall Company results.
Total revenue includes inter-segment revenue primarily related to the transfer of electricity from generation plants to utilities within Brazil. No material inter-segment revenue relationships exist between other segments. Corporate allocations include certain self-insurance activities which are reflected within segment adjusted PTC. All intra-segment activity has been eliminated with respect to revenue and adjusted PTC within the segment. Inter-segment activity has been eliminated within the

21



total consolidated results. Asset information for businesses that were discontinued or classified as held for sale as of June 30, 2013 is segregated and is shown in the line “Discontinued Businesses” in the accompanying segment tables.

Beaver Valley — In January 2013, Beaver Valley, a wholly-owned 125 Megawatt (“MW”) coal-fired plant in Pennsylvania, entered into an agreement to early terminate its PPA with the offtaker in exchange for a lump-sum payment of $60 million which was received on January 9, 2013. The termination was effective January 8, 2013. Beaver Valley also terminated its fuel supply agreement. Under the PPA termination agreement, annual capacity agreements between the offtaker and PJM Interconnection, LLC (“PJM”) (a regional transmission organization) for 2013 — 2016 have been assigned to Beaver Valley. The termination of the PPA resulted in a significant reduction in the future cash flows of the asset group and was considered an impairment indicator. The carrying amount of the asset group was not recoverable. The carrying amount of the asset group exceeded the fair value of the asset group, resulting in an asset impairment expense of $46 million . Beaver Valley is reported in the US Generation segment.

14. DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS AND HELD FOR SALE BUSINESSES

Ukraine Utilities sale — On April 29, 2013, the Company completed the sale of its two utility businesses in Ukraine to VS Energy International and received net proceeds of $113 million after working capital adjustments. The Company sold its 89.1% equity interest in AES Kyivoblenergo, which serves 881,000 customers in the Kiev region, and its 84.6% percent equity interest in AES Rivneoblenergo, which serves 412,000 customers in the Rivne region. The Company had recognized an impairment of $38 million upon fair value measurement during the first quarter of 2013. In the second quarter of 2013, an after- tax gain of $3 million was recognized upon the completion of the sale transaction. These businesses were previously reported in “Corporate and Other.”
15. DISPOSITIONS
Cartagena — On April 26, 2013, the Company sold its remaining interest in AES Energia Cartagena S.R.L. (“AES Cartagena”), a 1,199 MW gas-fired generation business in Spain upon the exercise of a purchase option included in the 2012 sale agreement where the Company sold its majority interest in the business. Net proceeds from the exercise of the option were approximately $24 million and the Company recognized a pretax gain of $20 million during the second quarter of 2013. In 2012, the Company had sold 80% of its 70.81% equity interest in Cartagena and had recognized a pretax gain of $178 million . Under the terms of the 2012 sale agreement, the buyer was granted an option to purchase the Company’s remaining 20% interest during a five -month period beginning March 2013, which was exercised on April 26, 2013 as described above.
Due to the Company’s continued ownership interest, which extended beyond one year from the completion of the sale of its 80% interest in February 2012, the prior-period operating results of AES Cartagena were not reclassified as discontinued operations.

16. EARNINGS PER SHARE
Basic and diluted earnings per share are based on the weighted-average number of shares of common stock and potential common stock outstanding during the period. Potential common stock, for purposes of determining diluted earnings per share, includes the effects of dilutive restricted stock units, stock options and convertible securities. The effect of such potential common stock is computed using the treasury stock method or the if-converted method, as applicable.
The following tables present a reconciliation of the numerator and denominator of the basic and diluted earnings per share computation for income from continuing operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012 . In the table below, income represents the numerator and weighted-average shares represent the denominator:

The calculation of diluted earnings per share excluded 7 million options outstanding at June 30, 2013 and 2012 , that could potentially dilute basic earnings per share in the future. These options were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share because the exercise price of these options exceeded the average market price during the related period.
The calculation of diluted earnings per share also excluded 1 million and 2 million restricted stock units outstanding at June 30, 2013 and 2012 , respectively, that could potentially dilute basic earnings per share in the future. These restricted stock units were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share because the average amount of compensation cost per share attributed to future service and not yet recognized exceeded the average market price during the related period and thus to include the restricted units would have been anti-dilutive.
For the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, all 15 million shares of potential common stock associated with convertible debentures were omitted from the earnings per share calculation because they were anti-dilutive.
During the six months ended June 30, 2013 , 1 million shares of common stock were issued under the Company’s profit-sharing plan.
17 . SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
Stock Repurchase Program — The Company continued stock repurchases after June 30, 2013 under its stock repurchase program. For additional information on stock repurchases after the quarter, see Note 10 .— Equity .
Trinidad Generation Unlimited —On July 10, 2013, the Company completed the sale of its 10% equity interest in Trinidad Generation Unlimited, an equity method investment, to the government of Trinidad and received net proceeds of $31 million . The carrying amount of the investment was $28 million and a gain of $3 million will be recognized in the third quarter of 2013.
Recourse Debt —On July 26, 2013, the Company entered into an Amendment No. 3 (the “Amendment No. 3”) to the Fifth Amended and Restated Credit and Reimbursement Agreement, dated as of July 29, 2010, among the Company, various subsidiary guarantors and various lending institutions (as amended by Amendment No. 1, dated as of January 13, 2012, and Amendment No. 2, dated as of January 2, 2013, the “Existing Credit Agreement”) that amends and restates the Existing Credit Agreement (as so amended and restated by the Amendment No. 3, the “Sixth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement”). The Sixth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement adjusts the terms and conditions of the Existing Credit Agreement, including the following changes:
•
the final maturity date of the revolving credit loan facility is extended to July 26, 2018 from January 29, 2015;
•
the interest rate margin applicable to the revolving credit loan facility is based on the credit rating assigned to the loans under the credit agreement, with pricing currently at LIBOR + 2.25% , a 0.75% decrease;
•
there is an un-drawn fee of 0.50% per annum; and
•
the subsidiary guarantors party to the Existing Credit Agreement are released from their obligations under the Existing Credit Agreement and have no obligations under the Sixth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement.
The aggregate commitment for the revolving credit loan facility remains $800 million .

Gener is reported as a separate segment for purposes of the required segment accounting disclosures, but is included as part of Andes — Generation within the discussion of operating results for revenue and gross margin in management's discussion and analysis as it is managed with the other Andes — Generation businesses. See Note 11 — Segments included in Item 1. — Financial Statements for further discussion of the Company’s segment structure used for financial reporting purposes.
Management’s Priorities
Management is focused on the following priorities:

•
Management of our portfolio of generation and utility businesses to create value for our stakeholders, including customers and shareholders, through safe, reliable, and sustainable operations and effective cost management;
•
Driving our operating business to manage capital more effectively and to increase the amount of discretionary cash available for deployment into debt repayment, growth investments, shareholder dividends and share buybacks;
•
Realignment of our geographic focus. To this end, we will continue to exit markets where we do not have a competitive advantage or where we are unable to earn a fair risk-adjusted return relative to monetization alternatives. In addition, we will focus our growth investments on platform expansions or opportunities to expand our existing operations; and
•
Reduce the cash flow and earnings volatility of our businesses by proactively managing our currency, commodity and political risk exposures, mostly through contractual and regulatory mechanisms, as well as commercial hedging activities. We also will continue to limit our risk by utilizing non-recourse project financing for the majority of our businesses.
Q 2 2013 Performance
Results for the quarter were driven by a lower effective tax rate, the addition of new capacity and higher availability in Chile, cost reductions and capital allocation decisions, including share repurchases.

Three Months Ended June 30, 2013
Diluted earnings per share from continuing operations increased $0.13 , or 144% , to $0.22 principally due to higher gross margin, lower foreign currency losses, a lower effective tax rate, and lower interest expense, partially offset by the loss on extinguishment of debt at the Parent Company.

Adjusted earnings per share, a non-GAAP measure, increased by 78% primarily due to a lower effective tax rate, higher gross margin, and lower general and administrative expenses in 2013 compared to 2012.
Six Months Ended June 30, 2013
Diluted earnings per share from continuing operations decreased $0.18 , or 33% , principally due to the loss on the early extinguishment of debt at the Parent Company and Masinloc, a lower gain on sale of investments in 2013 from the sale of our remaining 20% interest in Cartagena compared to the prior gain from the sale of 80% of our interest in Cartagena in the first quarter 2012 and lower gross margin, partially offset by lower tax expense, and lower interest expense.

Adjusted earnings per share, a non-GAAP measure, increased by 5% primarily due to lower tax expense, lower interest expense, higher other income due to the PPA termination at Beaver Valley and lower general and administrative expenses in 2013 compared to 2012, partially offset by the decrease in gross margin.

28

We continued to execute on our strategic objectives of safe, reliable and sustainable operations, improvement of available capital and deployment of discretionary cash and realignment of our geographic focus. Key highlights of our progress during the three months ended June 30, 2013 include:
Safe, Reliable and Sustainable Operations.
During the second quarter of 2013 , we completed construction of the 216 MW gas-fired Kribi plant in Cameroon, and we commenced construction of our 532 MW coal-fired Cochrane platform expansion project in Chile. This brings our total projects under construction to 2,227 MW, expected to come on-line from 2013-2016.

Improving Available Capital and Deployment of Discretionary Cash.
We continue to enhance our sources and uses of parent discretionary cash.  During the second quarter of 2013 , we generated significant cash flow from operating activities and closed asset sales, fully exiting operations in Spain and Ukraine.  In terms of uses, we deployed our discretionary cash to pay a dividend of $0.04 per share, allocated $458 million to reduce recourse debt and extend near-term maturities at the Parent Company and invested $12 million in our subsidiaries to expand our platforms.  Additionally, beginning in June and extending into the third quarter of 2013, we repurchased shares of AES common stock. For further details on the share repurchase, please see Note 10 . — Equity in Item 1. — Financial Statements of this Form 10-Q.
Realigning Our Geographic Focus.
Continuing on our efforts to further streamline our portfolio, as we previously announced, we closed the sales of our businesses in the Ukraine and in Spain and fully exited operations in those countries during the quarter. Recently, we completed two additional transactions. We closed the sale of our interest in the 720 MW gas-fired plant in Trinidad in July 2013 and the sale of our wind turbine inventory in June 2013. These two transactions resulted in total equity proceeds to AES of $56 million.

Represents intersegment eliminations of revenue and gross margin primarily related to transfers of electricity from Tietê (Brazil — Generation) to Eletropaulo (Brazil — Utilities).

Three months ended June 30, 2013 :
Revenue decrease d $21 million , or 1% , to $4.1 billion in the three months ended June 30, 2013 compared with $4.1 billion in the three months ended June 30, 2012 . Excluding the unfavorable impact of foreign currency of $115 million , the key drivers of the change at each of the SBUs are as follows:

•
US — Overall unfavorable impact of $30 million, or 3%, driven by lower capacity revenue, lower average wholesale prices, and lower average retail prices due to downward price pressure as a result of generating services competition at DPL in Ohio, the impact of the PPA buyout at Beaver Valley in Pennsylvania, and the temporary operations of two generating units at Huntington Beach at Southland in 2012 that did not recur in 2013, partially offset by higher wholesale volume at DPL driven by switching of regulated customers as well as increased generation available from DPL's co-owned and operated plants.
•
Andes — Overall unfavorable impact of $8 million, or 1%, driven by lower prices due to the change in regulatory framework as a result of Resolution 95 whereby alternate fuel costs are no longer recognized as revenue as well as lower generation in Argentina, lower spot prices in Chile, and lower generation at Chivor in Colombia due to lower water inflows, partially offset by higher spot and contract sales in Chile, higher spot and contract prices at Chivor, and lower outages in Argentina.
•
Brazil — Overall favorable impact of $60 million, or 4%, primarily driven by higher tariffs compared to the 2012 tariff reset provision at Eletropaulo and higher prices at Tietê due to the annual PPA indexation in July 2012, partially offset by lower tariffs at Sul mainly driven by lower pass through of energy and other costs.
•
MCAC — Overall favorable impact of $46 million, or 7%, driven by higher spot and contract sales in the Dominican Republic due to increased demand and higher volume of gas sales to third parties, and higher prices at Puerto Rico and Merida in Mexico primarily due to favorable fuel prices.
•
EMEA — Overall favorable impact of $72 million, or 20%, driven by the favorable impact of a mark-to-market adjustment primarily due to a derivative loss in 2012 at Sonel, new business at Kribi in Cameroon which commenced operations in May 2013, increased volume and higher prices at Kilroot and Ballylumford in the U.K., and higher electricity sales in Kazakhstan as a result of higher inflows and increased capacity.
•
Asia — Overall unfavorable impact of $39 million, or 21%, driven by lower prices in the Philippines and lower volume at Kelanitissa in Sri Lanka, partially offset by higher contract demand in the Philippines.
Gross margin increase d $225 million , or 32% , to $918 million in the three months ended June 30, 2013 compared with $693 million in the three months ended June 30, 2012 . Excluding the unfavorable impact of foreign currency of $22 million , the key drivers of the change at each of the SBUs are as follows:

•
US — Overall unfavorable impact of $3 million, or 2%, driven by lower retail margin due to customer switching and lower capacity margin at DPL as well as the temporary operations at Southland as discussed above, partially offset by lower depreciation and amortization expense as well as higher wholesale volume and the favorable impact of mark-to-market adjustments on derivative contracts at DPL.
•
Andes — Overall favorable impact of $56 million, or 57%, driven by the commencement of operations at Ventanas IV in March 2013 in Chile, higher availability in Chile and Argentina, and higher spot prices at Chivor, partially offset by lower generation at Chivor as a result of lower water inflows and in Chile due to lower gas availability, lower prices in Chile and Argentina as discussed above and higher fixed costs.
•
Brazil — Overall favorable impact of $161 million, or 94%, driven by the tariff impact as discussed above as well as lower fixed costs due primarily to the reversal of bad debt allowance at Eletropaulo and the extinguishment of a liability at Uruguaiana, partially offset by lower tariffs at Sul.
•
MCAC — Overall favorable impact of $13 million, or 10%, driven by higher spot sales and higher contract prices in the Dominican Republic, reimbursement costs in Panama resulting from a settlement with the EPC contractor over the Esti tunnel collapse, and higher rates at El Salvador mainly due to a tariff reset approved by the regulator at the beginning of 2013, partially offset by an increase in purchases of replacement energy at higher prices in Panama due to lower hydrology.
•
EMEA — Overall favorable impact of $29 million, or 42%, driven by the favorable impact of a mark-to-market derivative adjustment at Sonel and new operations at Kribi in Cameroon as discussed above, as well as lower outages and lower fixed costs at Ballylumford and higher energy prices at Kilroot in the U.K.

31



•
Asia — Overall unfavorable impact of $11 million, or 19%, driven by lower contract and spot prices in the Philippines, partially offset by higher contract demand.
Net income attributable to The AES Corporation increase d $27 million to $167 million in the three months ended June 30, 2013 compared to $140 million in the three months ended June 30, 2012 . The key drivers of the increase included:

•
the increase in gross margin as described above;
•
lower foreign currency losses;
•
a lower effective tax rate; and
•
lower interest expense due to gains resulting from ineffectiveness on interest rate swaps at Puerto Rico.
These increases were partially offset by:

•
the loss on the early extinguishment of debt at the Parent Company; and
•
the 2012 gain from the disposal of the discontinued Red Oak and Ironwood businesses.
Net cash provided by operating activities decrease d $13 million , or 2% , to $567 million in three months ended June 30, 2013 compared with $580 million in three months ended June 30, 2012 .
Operating cash flow of $567 million for the three months ended June 30, 2013 resulted primarily from net income adjusted for non-cash items, principally depreciation and amortization and loss on extinguishment of debt partially offset by a net use of cash for operating activities of $161 million in operating assets and liabilities. This was primarily due to the following:
•
a decrease of $426 million in accounts payable and other current liabilities, primarily due to reduced operations and the extinguishment of a liability based on a favorable arbitration decision at Uruguaiana, a decrease in current regulatory liabilities at Eletropaulo, higher interest payments at the Parent Company and DPL and higher energy purchases at Tietê;
•
an increase of $102 million in other assets primarily due to an increase in noncurrent regulatory assets at Eletropaulo, resulting from higher priced energy purchases which are recoverable through future tariffs; partially offset by
•
a decrease of $247 million in prepaid expenses and other current assets due to a decrease in current regulatory assets, for the recovery of prior period tariff cycle energy purchases and regulatory charges at Eletropaulo and in a receivable from the regulator at Sul; and
•
a decrease of $149 million in accounts receivable due to the reduced operations at Uruguaiana and a lower tariff at Eletropaulo.

Net cash provided by operating activities was $580 million during the three months ended June 30, 2012 . Operating cash flow resulted primarily from net income adjusted for non-cash items, principally depreciation and amortization, gains and losses on sales and disposals and impairment charges, and from a net favorable change of $58 million in operating assets and liabilities. This was primarily due to the following:
•
an increase of $204 million in other liabilities primarily due to an increase in long-term regulatory liabilities related to the tariff reset at Eletropaulo;
•
a decrease of $135 million in prepaid expenses and other current assets, including the recovery of value added tax on a construction project in Chile and the use of prepaid fuel at one of our plants in the Dominican Republic; partially offset by
•
an increase of $137 million in other assets mainly due to an increase in long-term regulatory assets at Eletropaulo, resulting from higher priced energy purchases and regulatory charges compared with the ones recovered through the current tariff; and
•
a decrease of $88 million primarily for the payment of income taxes in excess of the accrual of new tax liabilities.

Six months ended June 30, 2013 :
Revenue decrease d $342 million , or 4% , to $8.3 billion in the six months ended June 30, 2013 compared with $8.7 billion in the six months ended June 30, 2012 . Excluding the unfavorable impact of foreign currency of $354 million , the key drivers of the change at each of the SBUs are as follows:


32



•
US — Overall unfavorable impact of $68 million, or 4%, driven by lower capacity revenue, lower average wholesale prices, and lower average retail prices due to downward price pressure as a result of generating services competition at DPL in Ohio, the impact of the PPA buyout at Beaver Valley in Pennsylvania, increased outages at Hawaii, and the temporary operations of two generating units at Huntington Beach at Southland in 2012 that did not recur in 2013, partially offset by higher wholesale volume at DPL in Ohio and IPL in Indiana.
•
Andes — Overall unfavorable impact of $33 million, or 2%, driven by lower prices due to the change in regulatory framework as a result of Resolution 95, whereby alternate fuel costs are no longer recognized as revenue as well as lower generation in Argentina, lower contract and spot prices in Chile, and lower generation at Chivor in Colombia due to lower water inflows, partially offset by higher spot and contract prices at Chivor, higher spot and contract sales in Chile, and lower outages in Argentina in 2013.
•
Brazil — Overall favorable impact of $155 million, or 5%, driven by the temporary restart of operations at Uruguaiana in the first quarter of 2013, higher tariffs mainly due to higher energy pass through costs and higher tariffs compared to the 2012 tariff reset provision at Eletropaulo, and higher prices at Tietê due to the annual PPA indexation in July 2012, partially offset by lower tariffs at Sul and overall lower demand and volume at our Brazil Utilities.
•
MCAC — Overall favorable impact of $117 million, or 9%, driven by higher contract and spot sales in the Dominican Republic from increased demand and higher international gas prices and gas sales to third parties, higher volume and rates at Merida in Mexico and Puerto Rico, as well as higher rates in El Salvador mainly due to a tariff increase approved by the regulator in the beginning of 2013.
•
EMEA — Overall unfavorable impact of $76 million, or 8%, driven by the sale of 80% of our ownership and a non-recurring favorable arbitration settlement in Cartagena in February 2012, reduction in capacity remuneration in line with the PPA at Ballylumford beginning in April 2012, and lower volume at Maritza mainly due to lower net capacity factor, partially offset by increased volume and higher prices at Kilroot and lower outages at Ballylumford in the U.K., as well as higher electricity sales from higher inflows and increased capacity in Kazakhstan.
•
Asia — Overall unfavorable impact of $87 million, or 24%, driven by lower volume at Kelanitissa in Sri Lanka and lower rates in the Philippines, partially offset by higher contract demand.
Gross margin decrease d $92 million , or 5% , to $1.7 billion in the six months ended June 30, 2013 compared with $1.8 billion in the six months ended June 30, 2012 . Excluding the unfavorable impact of foreign currency of $50 million , the key drivers of the change at each of the SBUs are as follows:

•
US — Overall unfavorable impact of $21 million, or 7%, driven by lower retail margin due to customer switching and lower capacity margin at DPL, increased outages and related fixed costs at Hawaii, the PPA buyout at Beaver Valley, partially offset by lower depreciation and amortization expense and higher wholesale volume at DPL and IPL.
•
Andes — Overall favorable impact of $25 million, or 9%, driven by new operations of Ventanas IV in Chile which commenced operations in March 2013, higher spot and contract prices at Chivor, and higher availability in Chile and Argentina, partially offset by lower generation at Chivor as a result of lower water inflows and in Chile due to lower gas availability, lower prices in Chile and Argentina as discussed above and higher fixed costs.
•
Brazil — Overall favorable impact of $82 million, or 17%, driven by the tariff impact at Eletropaulo as discussed above, the temporary restart of operations in the first quarter of 2013 and extinguishment of a liability at Uruguaiana, and lower fixed costs across the region, partially offset by lower tariff and demand at Sul as well as lower water inflows in the system resulting in higher energy purchases at higher spot prices due to shared hydrologic risk requirement among all hydro generators at Tietê.
•
MCAC — Overall unfavorable impact of $3 million, or 1%, driven by higher replacement purchase energy at higher spot prices in Panama caused by lower hydrology, partially offset by higher contract and spot sales in the Dominican Republic as a result of increased demand and higher international gas prices and gas sales to third parties, reimbursement costs in Panama resulting from a settlement with the EPC contractor over the Esti tunnel collapse and higher tariff in El Salvador as discussed above.
•
EMEA — Overall unfavorable impact of $115 million, or 35%, driven by the sale of 80% of our ownership and a non-recurring favorable arbitration settlement in Cartagena in February 2012 as well as lower capacity prices at Ballylumford as discussed above, partially offset by increased volume and higher prices at Kilroot and lower outages at Ballylumford in the U.K. as well as new operations at Kribi in Cameroon.

33



•
Asia — Overall unfavorable impact of $24 million, or 21%, driven by lower prices in the Philippines and the favorable impact of a mark-to-market commodity derivative adjustment in 2012, partially offset by higher contract demand.
Net income attributable to The AES Corporation decrease d $232 million to $249 million in the six months ended June 30, 2013 compared to $481 million in the six months ended June 30, 2012 . The key drivers of the decrease included:

•
the loss on the early extinguishment of debt at the Parent Company and at Masinloc;
•
lower gain on sale of investments recorded in 2013 on the sale of our remaining 20% interest in Cartagena compared to the prior year gain recorded from the sale of 80% of our interest in Cartagena in the first quarter of 2012;
•
the decrease in gross margin as described above; and
•
losses in 2013 from the disposal and impairment of the discontinued Ukraine Utility businesses compared to the gain in 2012 from the disposal of the discontinued Red Oak and Ironwood businesses.
These decreases were partially offset by:

•
lower tax expense in 2013 due to lower income before tax and a decrease in the effective tax rate from 35% to 23%;
•
lower interest expense primarily due to gains resulting from ineffectiveness on interest rate swaps at Puerto Rico;
•
lower foreign currency losses;
•
a decrease in other non-operating expense due to the prior year other-than-temporary impairments of equity method investments in China and France;
•
higher other income due to the gain arising from the termination of the PPA at Beaver Valley; and
•
lower general and administrative expenses.
Net cash provided by operating activities increase d $71 million , or 6% , to $1.2 billion in the six months ended June 30, 2013 compared with $1.1 billion in the six months ended June 30, 2012 . Please refer to Consolidated Cash Flows -- Operating Activities for further discussion.
Non-GAAP Measure
Adjusted pre-tax contribution (“adjusted PTC”) and Adjusted earnings per share (“adjusted EPS”) are non-GAAP supplemental measures that are used by management and external users of our consolidated financial statements such as investors, industry analysts and lenders.
We define adjusted PTC as pre-tax income from continuing operations attributable to AES excluding gains or losses of the consolidated entity due to (a) unrealized gains or losses related to derivative transactions, (b) unrealized foreign currency gains or losses, (c) gains or losses due to dispositions and acquisitions of business interests, (d) losses due to impairments, and (e) costs due to the early retirement of debt. Adjusted PTC also includes net equity in earnings of affiliates on an after-tax basis.

We define adjusted EPS as diluted earnings per share from continuing operations excluding gains or losses of the consolidated entity due to (a) unrealized gains or losses related to derivative transactions, (b) unrealized foreign currency gains or losses, (c) gains or losses due to dispositions and acquisitions of business interests, (d) losses due to impairments, and (e) costs due to the early retirement of debt.
The GAAP measure most comparable to adjusted PTC is income from continuing operations attributable to AES. The GAAP measure most comparable to adjusted EPS is diluted earnings per share from continuing operations. We believe that adjusted PTC and adjusted EPS better reflect the underlying business performance of the Company and are considered in the Company’s internal evaluation of financial performance. Factors in this determination include the variability due to unrealized gains or losses related to derivative transactions, unrealized foreign currency gains or losses, losses due to impairments and strategic decisions to dispose of or acquire business interests or retire debt, which affect results in a given period or periods. In addition, for adjusted PTC, earnings before tax represents the business performance of the Company before the application of statutory income tax rates and tax adjustments, including the effects of tax planning, corresponding to the various jurisdictions in which the Company operates. Adjusted PTC and adjusted EPS should not be construed as alternatives to income from continuing operations attributable to AES and diluted earnings per share from continuing operations, which are determined in accordance with GAAP.

Utilities revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2013 decrease d $4 million , or 1% , compared to the three months ended June 30, 2012 primarily due to:
•
lower prices of $58 million at DPL, in Ohio, primarily due to lower average wholesale prices, lower capacity revenues, and lower average retail prices due to downward price pressure as a result of generation services competition.

These decreases were partially offset by:
•
higher volume of $50 million at DPL, primarily due to increased energy available for wholesale sales caused by switching of regulated customers to other suppliers as well as increased generation available from DPL's co-owned and operated plants.

Utilities gross margin for the three months ended June 30, 2013 increase d $7 million , or 8% , compared to the three months ended June 30, 2012 primarily due to:
•
lower depreciation and amortization expense of $23 million at DPL primarily because DPL's ESP intangible asset was fully amortized at the end of 2012;
•
higher wholesale margins at DPL and IPL of $23 million and $7 million, respectively, primarily due to increased volumes as described above; and
•
an increase of $13 million at DPL due to the favorable impact of mark-to-market adjustments on derivative contracts.

These increases were partially offset by:
•
lower retail margin at IPL of $7 million primarily due to the mild early summer temperatures in 2013;
•
lower capacity margins at DPL of $9 million primarily due to lower capacity prices in the PJM market in 2013; and
•
lower retail margin at DPL of $37 million primarily due to DP&L customers switching to DPL Inc.'s competitive retail supplier or other third parties.

Utilities revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2013 decrease d $14 million , or 1% , compared to the six months ended June 30, 2012 primarily due to:
•
lower prices of $127 million at DPL, primarily due to lower capacity revenues, lower average wholesale prices, and lower average retail prices due to downward price pressure as a result of generation services competition.

These decreases were partially offset by:
•
higher volume of $89 million at DPL, primarily due to increased wholesale volumes due to more energy available for wholesale sales caused by switching of regulated customers to other suppliers as well as increased generation available from DPL's co-owned and operated plants; and
•
higher volume of $24 million at IPL, due to increased wholesale volumes resulting from increases in natural gas prices, which improved IPL's ability to compete in the wholesale market.

Utilities gross margin for the six months ended June 30, 2013 increase d $11 million , or 5% , compared to the six months ended June 30, 2012 primarily due to:
•
lower depreciation and amortization expense of $49 million at DPL primarily because DPL's ESP intangible asset was fully amortized at the end of 2012; and
•
higher wholesale margins at DPL and IPL of $45 million and $10 million, respectively, primarily due to increased volumes as described above.

These increases were partially offset by:
•
lower retail margin at DPL of $78 million primarily due to DP&L customers switching to DPL Inc.'s competitive retail supplier or other third parties; and
•
lower capacity margins at DPL of $15 million primarily due to lower capacity prices in the PJM market in 2013.


37



For the six months ended June 30, 2012, revenue decrease d 1% , while gross margin increase d 5% , primarily due to the unfavorable impact on gross margin in 2012 from the amortization of intangible assets of $44 million related to the DPL acquisition, partially offset by the lower margins realized by DPL on energy sold on the wholesale market that was previously sold to regulated retail customers.

Excluding the unfavorable impact of foreign currency translation and remeasurement of $38 million , generation revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2013 decrease d $8 million , or 1% , compared to the three months ended June 30, 2012 primarily due to:

•
lower prices in Argentina of $79 million primarily due to a change in the regulatory framework as a result of Resolution 95 whereby alternate fuel costs are no longer recognized as revenue, See Note 6— Long-term Financing Receivables;
•
lower generation at Argentina of $53 million driven by lower dispatch;
•
lower spot prices in the SIC market at Gener of $35 million; and
•
lower generation at Chivor in Colombia of $7 million as a result of lower inflows.

These decreases were partially offset by:

•
higher volume in Chile of $57 million due to higher spot and contract sales in the SIC market;
•
higher contract and spot prices at Chivor in Colombia of $55 million due to pressure from lower water inflows; and
•
lower outages at Argentina of $54 million.

Excluding the unfavorable impact of foreign currency translation and remeasurement of $6 million , generation gross margin for the three months ended June 30, 2013 increase d $56 million , or 57% , compared to the three months ended June 30, 2012 primarily due to:

•
new business in Chile of $58 million due to the commencement of operations at Ventanas IV in March 2013 due to efficiently generating energy to cover existing contracts rather than having to purchase energy on the spot market;
•
higher availability of our plants in Chile and Argentina by $37 million and $19 million respectively; and
•
higher prices at Chivor of $26 million as discussed above.

These increases were partially offset by:

•
lower generation of $49 million mainly driven by $30 million at Chivor due to lower inflows and $16 million at Chile primarily due to lower gas generation;
•
lower prices in Chile of $16 million as a result of lower contract and spot prices in the SIC market;
•
higher fixed costs and depreciation of $14 million mainly driven by higher maintenance expenses; and
•
lower prices in Argentina of $6 million as discussed above.
Excluding the unfavorable impact of foreign currency translation and remeasurement, for the three months ended June 30, 2013 , revenue decrease d 1% , while gross margin increase d by 57% . This was primarily due to the gross margin provided by the increased generation at our new business, Ventanas IV, in Chile and the change in the regulatory framework in Argentina having a larger impact on revenues than gross margin.

as a result of Resolution 95;
•
lower generation at Argentina of $54 million driven by lower dispatch;
•
lower contract and spot prices in the SIC market at Gener of $55 million; and
•
lower generation at Chivor of $29 million as a result of lower inflows.

These decreases were partially offset by:

•
higher volume in Chile of $45 million due to higher spot and contract sales in the SIC market;
•
higher contract and spot prices at Chivor of $98 million due to pressure from lower water inflows; and
•
lower outages at Argentina of $45 million.
Excluding the unfavorable impact of foreign currency translation and remeasurement of $8 million , generation gross margin for the six months ended June 30, 2013 increase d $25 million , or 9% , compared to the six months ended June 30, 2012 primarily due to:
•
new business in Chile of $66 million due to the commencement of operations at Ventanas IV, as discussed above.
•
higher availability of our plants in Chile and Argentina by $39 million and $17 million respectively; and
•
higher prices at Chivor of $43 million as discussed above.

These increases were partially offset by:

•
lower generation of $107 million mainly driven by $50 million at Chivor due to lower inflows and $48 million at Chile primarily due to lower gas availability;
•
lower prices in Chile of $13 million as a result of lower contract and spot prices in the SIC market;
•
higher fixed costs and depreciation of $15 million mainly driven by higher maintenance expenses; and
•
lower prices in Argentina of $8 million as discussed above.
Excluding the unfavorable impact of foreign currency translation and remeasurement, for the six months ended June 30, 2013 , revenue decrease d 2% , while gross margin increase d 9% .

Includes $17 million in gains and $41 million in losses on foreign currency derivative contracts for the three months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012 , respectively, and $19 million in gains and $80 million in losses on foreign currency derivative contracts for the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012 , respectively.
The Company recognized net foreign currency transaction losses of $17 million for the three months ended June 30, 2013 primarily due to:

•
losses of $10 million in Chile were primarily due to a 5% weakening of the Chilean Peso, resulting in losses at Gener (a U.S. Dollar functional currency subsidiary) from working capital denominated in Chilean Pesos, primarily cash, accounts receivables and VAT receivables. These losses were partially offset by income on foreign currency derivatives.
The Company recognized foreign currency transaction losses of $101 million for the three months ended June 30, 2012 primarily due to:

•
losses of $34 million at The AES Corporation were primarily due to decreases in the valuation of intercompany notes receivable denominated in foreign currency, resulting from the weakening of the Euro and British Pound during the quarter, partially offset by gains related to foreign currency options;
•
losses of $42 million in the Philippines were primarily due to unrealized foreign exchange losses on embedded derivatives, which was a result of the forecasted strengthening of the Philippine Peso versus the U.S. Dollar in future periods; and
•
losses of $9 million in Brazil that were mainly related to commercial liabilities denominated in U.S. Dollars due to the 8% weakening of the Brazilian Real versus the U.S. Dollar.
The Company recognized foreign currency transaction losses of $49 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013 primarily due to:
•
losses of $23 million at The AES Corporation were primarily due to decreases in the valuation of intercompany notes receivable denominated in foreign currency, resulting from the weakening of the Euro and British Pound during the year, partially offset by gains related to foreign currency options;
•
losses of $14 million in Chile which were primarily due to a 6% weakening of the Chilean Peso, resulting in losses at Gener (a U.S. Dollar functional currency subsidiary) from working capital denominated in Chilean Pesos, primarily cash, accounts receivables and VAT receivables. Additional losses were related to foreign currency derivatives; and
•
losses of $10 million in Brazil which were mainly related to commercial liabilities denominated in U.S. Dollars due to the 8% weakening of the Brazilian Real versus the U.S. Dollar.
The Company recognized foreign currency transaction losses of $102 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012 primarily due to:
•
losses of $16 million at The AES Corporation which were primarily due to decreases in the valuation of intercompany notes receivable denominated in foreign currency, resulting from the weakening of the Euro and British Pound during the year, and due to a decline in value of foreign currency options;

47



•
losses of $66 million in the Philippines which were primarily due to unrealized foreign exchange losses on embedded derivatives, which was a result of the forecasted strengthening of the Philippine Peso versus the U.S. Dollar in future periods; and
•
losses of $12 million in Argentina which were primarily related to losses due to the weakening of the Argentine Peso by 5%, resulting in losses at AES Argentina Generacion (an Argentine Peso functional currency subsidiary) associated with its U.S. Dollar denominated debt and losses at Termoandes (a U.S. Dollar functional currency subsidiary) mainly associated with cash and account receivable balances in local currency. These losses were partially offset by a gain on a foreign currency embedded derivative related to Government receivables.
Other non-operating expense
There was no other non-operating expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 . Total other non-operating expense was $1 million and $50 million for the three and six months ended months ended June 30, 2012 .
I n the first quarter of 2012 the Company concluded that it was more likely than not that it would sell its interest in its equity method investments in China and France and recorded other-than-temporary impairments of $32 million and $17 million respectively.
Income tax expense
Income tax expense increase d $6 million , or 8% , to $81 million for the three months ended June 30, 2013 compared to $75 million for the three months ended June 30, 2012 . The Company’s effective tax rates were 20% and 37% for the three months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012 , respectively.
The net decrease in the effective tax rate for the three months ended June 30, 2013 compared to the same period in 2012 was due, in part, to a decrease in U.S. taxes applicable to certain non-U.S. subsidiaries, net favorable resolution of various uncertain tax positions, and lower tax expense from certain higher tax jurisdictions.
Income tax expense decrease d $180 million , or 52% , to $163 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013 compared to $343 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012 . The Company’s effective tax rates were 23% and 35% for the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012 , respectively.
The net decrease in the effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2013 compared to the same period in 2012 was due, in part, to the extension of a favorable U.S. tax law in the first quarter of 2013 impacting distributions from certain non-U.S. subsidiaries, net favorable resolution of various uncertain tax positions, and lower tax expense from certain higher tax jurisdictions.
We anticipate that our effective tax rate in 2014 and beyond will be higher than our reported effective tax rate for 2013. This is due, in part, to one-time factors positively influencing the 2013 rate as well as an anticipated increase beyond 2013 in U.S. taxes on distributions from certain non-U.S. subsidiaries and the lapse of a tax holiday at one of our subsidiaries in Asia.
Our effective tax rate reflects the tax effect of significant operations outside the United States, which are generally taxed at rates lower than the U.S. statutory rate of 35 percent. A future proportionate change in the composition of income before income taxes from foreign and domestic tax jurisdictions could impact our periodic effective tax rate.
Net equity in earnings of affiliates
Net equity in earnings of affiliates decrease d $9 million , or 82% , to $2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2013 . The decrease was primarily due to decreased earnings at Entek in Turkey resulting from a loss on an embedded foreign currency derivative.
Net equity in earnings of affiliates decrease d $18 million , or 75% , to $6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013 . The decrease was primarily related to a loss on an embedded foreign currency derivative at Entek as well as the sale of Yangcheng in China during the third quarter of 2012. This was partially offset by increased earnings from higher generation revenue at Elsta in the Netherlands due to fewer planned outages.
Income from continuing operations attributable to noncontrolling interests
Income from continuing operations attributable to noncontrolling interests increase d $99 million , or 148% , to $166 million for the three months ended June 30, 2013 . The increase was primarily due to higher distribution revenue at Eletropaulo as a result of the tariff reset adjustment in 2012, increased gross margin at Uruguaiana caused by a favorable arbitration settlement and the commencement of operations at Ventanas IV in Chile.

48



Income from continuing operations attributable to noncontrolling interests increase d $41 million , or 17% , to $281 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013 . The increase was primarily due to higher distribution revenue at Eletropaulo as a result of the tariff reset adjustment in 2012 and increased gross margin at Uruguaiana caused by a favorable arbitration settlement and the temporary restart of operations in the first quarter of 2013. This was partially offset by a decrease in operating income at Tietê in 2013 related to lower water inflows in the system resulting in a higher allocation of energy purchases at higher spot prices and a reduction in income at Cartagena which was deconsolidated in February 2012 as a result of the sale of 80% of our interest.
Discontinued operations
Total discontinued operations was a net income of $3 million and net income of $70 million for the three months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012 , respectively. Total discontinued operations was a net loss of $19 million and net income of $71 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012 , respectively. See Note 14 — Discontinued Operations and Held for Sale Businesses included in Item 1. — Financial Statements of this Form 10-Q for further information.
Key Trends and Uncertainties
During the remainder of 2013 and beyond, we expect to face the following challenges at certain of our businesses. Management expects that improved operating performance at certain businesses, growth from new businesses and global cost reduction initiatives may lessen or offset their impact. If these favorable effects do not occur, or if the challenges described below and elsewhere in this section impact us more significantly than we currently anticipate, or if volatile foreign currencies and commodities move more unfavorably, then these adverse factors (or other adverse factors unknown to us) may impact our gross margin, net income attributable to The AES Corporation and cash flows. We continue to monitor our operations and address challenges as they arise. For the risk factors related to our business, see Item 1. — Business and Item 1A. — Risk Factors of the 2012 Form 10-K.
Regulatory
Rate Case Proceedings
DP&L, our utility business in Ohio, is in the process of its regulated rate case review by the regulator. The outcome of the rate case will determine the amount that DP&L can charge to customers for electricity.
DP&L — On October 5, 2012, DP&L filed an Electric Security Plan ("ESP") with the Public Utilities Commission of Ohio (“PUCO”) to establish Standard Service Offer ("SSO") rates that were to be in effect starting January 1, 2013. The plan was refiled on December 12, 2012 to correct for certain projected costs. The plan requested approval of a non-bypassable charge that is designed to recover $138 million per year for five years from all customers. DP&L also requested approval of a switching tracker that would measure the incremental amount of switching over a base case and defer the lost value into a regulatory asset which would be recovered from all customers beginning January 2014. The ESP states that DP&L plans to file on or before December 31, 2013 its plan for legal separation of its generation assets. The ESP proposes a three year, five month transition to market, whereby a wholesale competitive bidding structure will be phased in to supply generation service to customers located in DP&L’s service territory that have not chosen an alternative generation supplier. As a result of this filing, DP&L’s overall SSO generation revenue is projected to decrease by approximately $46 million for the first year, due to a portion of DP&L’s SSO load being sourced through a competitive bid and other adjustments that were made to the SSO generation rates. As more SSO supply is sourced through a competitive bid, DP&L will continue to experience a decrease in SSO generation revenue each year throughout the blending period. DP&L’s retail transmission rates will increase as a retail, non-bypassable transmission charge will be implemented; however, this revenue will be offset slightly by a decrease in wholesale transmission revenue from Competitive Retail Electric Service Providers operating in DP&L’s service territory. An evidentiary hearing on this case was held March 18, 2013 through April 3, 2013. An order is expected to be issued by the PUCO in the third quarter of 2013. The PUCO authorized that the rates being collected prior to December 31, 2012 would continue until the new ESP rates go into effect. The final order could have a material adverse impact on our results of operations and cash flows. See Item 1. — Business — US SBU Businesses — U.S. Utilities, DPL Inc. included in the 2012 Form 10-K for further information. In addition, as also noted in the 2012 Form 10-K (see preceding reference), DPL has 2013 Debt maturities of approximately $470 million that are due in October.   DPL is evaluating its options with regard to refinancing this debt, including through the issuance of long or short-term debt securities or through a syndicated term or other bank loan, or a combination of debt instruments. DP&L also faces a number of additional uncertainties related to the impact of customer switching and low power prices which could impact DP&L’s results of operations, its ability to refinance certain debt (or to do so on favorable terms) which is due in the near to intermediate term, and/or realize the benefits associated with the remaining goodwill. Any of the above-referenced conditions, events or factors could have a material impact on the Company or its results of operations.

Operational
Fluctuations in Foreign Exchange Rates —The Company is sensitive to changes in political and economic conditions and market rates, including foreign exchange rates. In many countries AES operates in, weakening of economic indicators, such as slowing growth, increased inflation and deficits, devaluation of the local currency, and currency convertibility restrictions could have material impacts on the Company. Potential outcomes can include negative impacts in our gross margin and cash flows, and create an inability of the business to pay dividends or obtain currency to service foreign obligations, all of which can negatively impact the value of our assets. See Item 3 — Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk of this Form 10-Q for more information.
Due to our global presence, the Company has significant exposure to foreign currency fluctuations. The exposure is primarily associated with the impact of the translation of our foreign subsidiaries’ operating results from their local currency to U.S. dollars that is required for the preparation of our consolidated financial statements. Additionally, there is a risk of transaction exposure when an entity enters into transactions, including debt agreements, in currencies other than their functional currency. These risks are further described in Item 1A. — Risk Factors of the 2012 Form 10-K, “ Our financial position and results of operations may fluctuate significantly due to fluctuations in currency exchange rates experienced at our foreign operations .” If the current foreign currency exchange rate volatility continues, our gross margin and other financial metrics could continue to be affected.

Fluctuations in Commodity Prices —The Company is sensitive to changes in fuel prices. High coal prices relative to natural gas creates pressure at some of our businesses, which may affect the results of certain of our coal plants, particularly those which are merchant plants that are exposed to market risk and to a lesser extent those that contracted with limited fuel price pass-through. See Item 3 — Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk of this Form 10-Q for more information.
Sensitivity to Weather Conditions
Brazil— Given that approximately two-thirds of Brazil’s electric supply is dependent upon hydroelectric generation, changes in weather conditions can have a significant impact on reservoir levels and electricity prices. Lower than expected rainfall during the spring and summer has caused reservoir levels to be lower than their historical levels and affected the availability of hydroelectric generation facilities. Higher thermal dispatch has been maintained in order to recover the reservoir levels.  If reservoir levels are not able to recover, or deteriorate further, it is expected that higher thermal dispatch will cause more volatility in spot prices. Although the purchased energy cost is a pass-through for AES’s distribution businesses in Brazil, gaps between the purchase of energy and recovery in the tariff could cause temporary cash flow constraints on those businesses, except in 2013 when these gaps are being recovered on a monthly basis due to a special regulation. Our hydroelectric generation facilities may be required to purchase energy even if they have sufficient water to cover their contractual commitments if the overall system does not have adequate supply, since the water is treated as a shared resource among all hydroelectric generators. To the extent that a hydroelectric generation facility needs to purchase energy to meet its contractual requirements, rather than generate, purchasing can be more expensive, thereby creating negative margin on part of those contracts, which could have a material adverse impact on our results of operations.
Panama— Given that approximately 61% of Panama's electric supply is dependent upon hydroelectric generation based on rainfalls with a balanced mix of conventional and run-of-the-river hydro plants (50%/50%), changes in weather conditions can have a significant impact in the hydroelectric production, reservoir levels and electricity prices.  Lower than expected rainfall during the spring and summer has affected the hydroelectric generation. In Panama there are two distinct seasons: (i) the dry season, which is between December and April when stored water in the reservoirs is used; and (ii) the rainy season which is the remainder of the months, when the reservoirs are filled. The latest weather forecast from Hidromet (the local weather authority) is showing that rainfalls will be lower than historical average for the rest of the year. Expectations of returning to a normal pattern are only anticipated to occur by December. Meanwhile, the AES Panama Business, which is 100% hydroelectric generation, is expected to experience a reduction in production and sales as a consequence of lower inflows. Although we expect to have sufficient water inflows to cover our contractual commitments, we are highly dependent upon the anticipated rainfall. We continue to monitor the situation. If we do not have sufficient rainfall, we would need to purchase energy to fulfill our contractual commitments which could have a material adverse impact on our results of operations.
Colombia— Colombia's Interconnected System (SIN) is dependent on weather conditions given that approximately two-thirds of Colombia's installed capacity comes from hydroelectric generation. Therefore, variations in weather conditions have a significant impact in the levels of the reservoirs and electricity prices. In Colombia there are two seasons: (i) the dry season, which is between December and April when reservoirs use the stored water; and (ii) the rainy season, for the period between May and November, when the reservoirs are filled. The hydrological conditions that have been experienced during the first six

50

months of 2013 have been drier than what has been historically experienced. This has caused the reservoir levels and the inflows to be lower than normal. We continue to monitor the situation. Although we have seen an improvement in July 2013, if we do not receive sufficient rainfall to refill the reservoir levels, we would need to purchase energy to fulfill our contractual commitments which could have a material adverse impact to our results of operations.
Chile — Chile's Central Interconnected System (SIC) is dependent on hydrological conditions, rainfall and snowpack during the winter months in South America to determine reservoir levels and snow melting in the spring and summer months to determine inflows, both of which determine the dispatch of hydroelectric vs. thermal generation and electricity prices. The SIC has experienced dry conditions during the first half of the year and hydrology has been volatile since the beginning of the wet season which starts in April. If the system does not experience significant rainfall and conditions prevail through the end of rainy season which is August, electricity prices are expected to remain high through the beginning of next year driven by the need for increased dispatch of thermal generation. Although our portfolio in the SIC is primarily contracted and our run-of-the-river hydroelectric generation is more stable than the rest of the system, revenues from our hydroelectric facilities may suffer temporary declines as a result of drier conditions. To the extent that we are required to purchase spot energy during periods of dry hydrological conditions in case of lower production of energy from our own plants (less water for our hydroelectric plants or temporary outages in our thermal plants), we may be required to purchase energy at a higher cost than contract prices to meet our contractual requirements, which could have a material adverse impact on our results of operations and cash flows.
Macroeconomic and Political
During the past few years, economic conditions in some countries where our subsidiaries conduct business have deteriorated. Global economic conditions remain volatile and could have an adverse impact on our businesses in the event these recent trends continue.
Our business or results of operations could be impacted if we or our subsidiaries are unable to access the capital markets on favorable terms or at all, are unable to raise funds through the sale of assets or are otherwise unable to finance or refinance our activities. At this time, several European Union countries continue to face uncertain economic environments, the impacts of which are described below. The Company could also be adversely affected if capital market disruptions result in increased borrowing costs (including with respect to interest payments on the Company’s or our subsidiaries’ variable rate debt) or if commodity prices affect the profitability of our plants or their ability to continue operations.
United States — As noted in Item 1A — Risk Factors — ” We may not be adequately hedged against our exposure to changes in commodity prices or interest rates ” of the 2012 Form 10-K and Item 3. — Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk — Commodity Price Risk of this Form 10-Q, the Company’s U. S. businesses continue to face pressure as a result of low natural gas prices, which is the marginal price-setting fuel in most U. S. markets. This has affected the results of certain of our coal-fired plants in the region, including our coal-fired generating assets within our utility businesses. The impact was reduced in 2013 as some of the U.S. markets in which we operate have experienced increased natural gas prices, which has resulted in increased wholesale energy prices as compared to 2012. IPL in Indiana benefits from high wholesale power prices in periods where our available generation exceeds our captive load obligations. At DPL in Ohio, where retail competition exists, our coal-fired generating assets sell excess power into the deregulated market and are subject to greater sensitivity to changes in power prices. Businesses that have a PPA in place, but purchase fuel at market prices or under short term contracts may not be fully hedged against changes in either power or fuel prices.
Argentina — In Argentina, the deterioration of certain economic indicators such as non-receding inflation, increased government deficits and foreign currency accessibility combined with the potential devaluation of the local currency and the potential fall in export commodity prices could cause significant volatility in our results of operations, cash flows, the ability to pay dividends to the Parent Company, and the value of our assets. At June 30, 2013 , AES had noncurrent assets of $556 million in Argentina, including long-term receivables of $309 million. See Note 6 — Long-term Financing Receivables in Item 1. — Financial Statements of this Form 10-Q for further information on the long-term receivables.
Bulgaria — Our investments in Bulgaria rely on offtaker contracts with NEK, the state-owned national electricity distribution company. Maritza, a coal-fired generation facility, has experienced ongoing delays in the collection of outstanding receivables from its offtaker. As of June 30, 2013 , Maritza had an outstanding receivables balance of $104 million with the offtaker, which represents 106 days sales outstanding. Although Maritza continued to collect past due receivables during the second quarter of 2013, there can be no assurance that the business will continue making collections, which could result in a write-off of the remaining receivables. In addition, depending on NEK’s ability to honor its obligations and other factors, the value of other assets could also be impaired, or the business may be in another default of its loan covenants. The Company has long-lived assets in Bulgaria of $1.8 billion and net equity of $587 million. See Note 7 — Debt for further information on current existing debt defaults. Further, Maritza is in litigation related to construction delays and related matters. For further information on the litigation see Item 1 — Legal Proceedings . In addition, as disclosed in Note 29 — Subsequent Events to our consolidated financial statements included in Item 8. — Financial Statements and Supplementary Data of the 2012 Form

51

10-K, earlier this year, there were protests in Bulgaria related to power prices. The prime minister resigned and following the preliminary elections in May 2013, the political situation in the country remains unstable. Energy legislation was amended in the beginning of July 2013 and the Bulgarian Regulator is currently developing the new energy sector rules and regulations.   At this time, it is difficult to predict the impact of these political conditions on our businesses in Bulgaria. Furthermore, as noted in Item 1. — Business — Bulgaria in our 2012 Form 10-K, certain regulators are reviewing the impact on competition of NEK's long-term contracts. Other events, such as NEK's efforts to comply with the EU's Third Energy Package, nonpayment of receivables or other events could also result in a termination of the PPA, in which case substantial amounts may be owed by NEK to Maritza.  For further information regarding a potential restructuring of NEK to comply with the EU's Third Energy package, see Item 1. - Business - Bulgaria in our 2012 Form 10-K.  For further information on the importance of long-term contracts and our counterparty credit risk, see Item 1A. — Risk Factors — “We may not be able to enter into long-term contracts, which reduce volatility in our results of operations ” of the 2012 Form 10-K. As a result of any of the foregoing events, we may face a loss of earnings and/or cash flows from the affected businesses (or be unable to exercise remedies for a breach of the PPA) and may have to provide loans or equity to support affected businesses or projects, restructure them, write down their value and/or face the possibility that these projects cannot continue operations or provide returns consistent with our expectations, any of which could have a material impact on the Company.
Euro Zone — During the past few years, certain European Union countries have continually faced a sovereign debt crisis and it is possible that this crisis could spread to other countries. This crisis has resulted in an increased risk of default by governments and the implementation of austerity measures in certain countries. If the crisis continues, worsens, or spreads, there could be a material adverse impact on the Company. Our businesses may be impacted if they are unable to access the capital markets, face increased taxes or labor costs, or if governments fail to fulfill their obligations to us or adopt austerity measures which adversely impact our projects. As discussed in Item 1A. — Risk Factors — “Our renewable energy projects and other initiatives face considerable uncertainties including development, operational and regulatory challenges ” of the 2012 Form 10-K, our renewables businesses are dependent on favorable regulatory incentives, including subsidies, which are provided by sovereign governments, including European governments. If these subsidies or other incentives are reduced or repealed, or sovereign governments are unable or unwilling to fulfill their commitments or maintain favorable regulatory incentives for renewables, in whole or in part, this could impact the ability of the affected businesses to continue to sustain and/or grow their operations and could result in losses or asset impairments for these businesses which could be material. The carrying value of our investment in AES Solar Energy Ltd., whose primary operations are in Europe, was $122 million at June 30, 2013 . In addition, any of the foregoing could also impact contractual counterparties of our subsidiaries in core power or renewables. If such counterparties are adversely impacted, then they may be unable to meet their commitments to our subsidiaries.
If global economic conditions deteriorate further, it could also affect the prices we receive for the electricity we generate or transmit. Utility regulators or parties to our generation contracts may seek to lower our prices based on prevailing market conditions pursuant to PPAs, concession agreements or other contracts as they come up for renewal or reset. In addition, rising fuel and other costs coupled with contractual price or tariff decreases could restrict our ability to operate profitably in a given market. Each of these factors, as well as those discussed above, could result in a decline in the value of our assets including those at the businesses we operate, our equity investments and projects under development and could result in asset impairments that could be material to our operations. We continue to monitor our projects and businesses.

Impairments
Goodwill — The Company seeks business acquisitions as one of its growth strategies. We have achieved significant growth in the past as a result of several business acquisitions, which also resulted in the recognition of goodwill. In the fourth quarter of 2012 , the Company completed its annual October 1 goodwill impairment evaluation and identified two reporting units, DPL and Ebute, which were considered “at risk”. A reporting unit is considered “at risk” when its fair value is not higher than its carrying amount by more than 10%. During the three months ended June 30, 2013, the Company performed an interim impairment test of goodwill at Ebute, but no adjustment was necessary as the reporting unit passed step 1 of the test. While there were no potential impairment indicators during the three months ended June 30, 2013 related to DPL that could result in the recognition of goodwill impairment, it is possible that we may incur goodwill impairment at DPL, Ebute or any of our reporting units in future periods if adverse changes in their business or operating environments occur. The carrying amount of the goodwill at DPL and Ebute as of June 30, 2013 was approximately $759 million and $58 million, respectively. In 2012 , the Company had recognized goodwill impairment of $1.82 billion at the DP&L reporting unit.
Environmental
The Company is subject to numerous environmental laws and regulations in the jurisdictions in which it operates. The Company expenses environmental regulation compliance costs as incurred unless the underlying expenditure qualifies for capitalization under its property, plant and equipment policies. The Company faces certain risks and uncertainties related to

52

these environmental laws and regulations, including existing and potential greenhouse gas (“GHG”) legislation or regulations, and actual or potential laws and regulations pertaining to water discharges, waste management (including disposal of coal combustion byproducts), and certain air emissions, such as SO 2 , NO x , particulate matter and mercury. Such risks and uncertainties could result in increased capital expenditures or other compliance costs which could have a material adverse effect on certain of our U.S. or international subsidiaries and our consolidated results of operations. For further information about these risks, see Item 1A. — Risk Factors, “ Our businesses are subject to stringent environmental laws and regulations ,” “ Our businesses are subject to enforcement initiatives from environmental regulatory agencies ,” and “ Regulators, politicians, non-governmental organizations and other private parties have expressed concern about greenhouse gas, or GHG, emissions and the potential risks associated with climate change and are taking actions which could have a material adverse impact on our consolidated results of operations, financial condition and cash flows” set forth in the Company’s Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012 . The following discussion of the impact of environmental laws and regulations on the Company updates the discussion provided in Item 1. — Business — Regulatory Matters — Environmental and Land Use Regulations of the Company’s Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012 and in Item 2. — Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Key Trends and Uncertainties - Regulatory - Environmental . For further information about environmental laws and regulations impacting the Company, including a discussion of U.S. and international legislation and regulation of GHG emissions, see Item 1. — Business — Regulatory Matters — Environmental and Land Use Regulations set forth in the Company’s Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012 and Item 2. — Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Key Trends and Uncertainties - Regulatory - Environmental .
Update on Greenhouse Gas Regulation
As further described in Item 1. — Business - Regulatory Matters - United States -  Federal Greenhouse Gas Legislation and Regulation in the Company's Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012, the EPA proposed a rule on March 27, 2012 that would establish new source performance standards (“NSPS”) for greenhouse gas (“GHG”) emissions from newly constructed fossil-fueled electric utility steam generating units (“EUSGUs”) larger than 25 megawatts.  The period for public comments on such proposed rule expired on June 12, 2012.  On June 25, 2013, the President of the United States directed the EPA to issue a new proposed rule establishing NSPS for CO 2 emissions for newly constructed fossil-fueled EUSGUs larger than 25 MW by September 30, 2013, and to issue a final rule in a timely fashion after considering all public comments.  The EPA subsequently indicated its intention to issue a new proposed rule to address GHGs from newly constructed fossil-fueled power plants by September 2013.  Any such proposed rule would not apply to existing EUSGUs, including the Company's subsidiaries' existing power plants.
In his June 25, 2013 announcement, the President also directed the EPA to issue new standards, regulations, or guidelines, as appropriate, that address CO 2 emissions from existing power plants.  The President directed the EPA to:

•
issue a proposed rule by June 1, 2014;
•
issue a final rule by June 1, 2015; and
•
require that States submit their implementation plans to the EPA by no later than June 30, 2016.
It is impossible to estimate the impact and compliance costs associated with any future EPA regulations applicable to new, modified or existing EUSGUs until such regulations are finalized; however, the impact, including the compliance costs, could be material to our consolidated financial condition or results of operations.
Update on Air Emissions Regulations and Legislation

As further discussed in Item 2. — Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Key Trends and Uncertainties - Regulatory - Environmental - Update on Air Emissions Regulations and Legislation in the Company's Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended March 31, 2013, primarily as a result of existing and expected environmental regulations, including the Mercury Air Toxics Standards ("MATS"), IPL plans to have retired several generating units fueled by either coal or oil (approximately 640 MW total net generating capacity) by April 2017 and to expend significant capital expenditures on environmental controls and upgrades. In accordance with this plan, in the second quarter of 2013 IPL retired in place five oil-fired peaking units with an average life of approximately 61 years and a total generating capacity of 168 MW (leaving approximately 472 MW to be retired). Although these units represented approximately 5% of IPL's generating capacity, they were seldom dispatched by Midcontinent Independent System Operator, Inc. in recent years due to their relatively higher production cost and in some instances repairs were needed. In order to replace the generation capacity loss resulting from the recent and future retirement of the generating units discussed above, in April 2013 IPL filed a petition and case-in-chief with the Indiana Utility Regulatory Commission seeking a Certificate of Public Convenience and Necessity to

53

build a 550 to 725 MW combined cycle gas turbine at its Eagle Valley Station site and to refuel Harding Street Station Units 5 and 6 from coal to natural gas (106 MW each). The total estimated cost of these projects is $667 million.

As further discussed in Item 1. — Business - Regulatory Matters - United States - Other United States Environmental and Land Use Legislation and Regulations in the Company's Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012, IPL filed a request for a Certificate of Public Convenience and Necessity in June 2012 for $511 million (including supplemental testimony), which is the amount of expenditures that IPL estimates is necessary through 2016 for environmental controls for its baseload generating units related to the MATS rule, excluding demolition costs. A hearing with the Indiana Utility Regulatory Commission ("IURC") was held on this matter in April 2013, and IPL expects to receive an order from the IURC within the next month.

In Item 2. — Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Key Trends and Uncertainties - Regulatory - Environmental - Additional Environmental Regulatory Events Occurring During Quarter in the Company's Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended March 31, 2013, the Company stated that the EPA and environmental and health organizations filed writs of certiorari with the U.S. Supreme Court requesting review of the decision by United States Circuit Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit (the “D.C. Circuit”) vacating the EPA's Cross-State Air Pollution Rule. On June 24, 2013, the U.S. Supreme Court granted the EPA's and such environmental and health organizations' petitions for review of the D.C. Circuit's decision vacating the CSAPR. If the U.S. Supreme Court reinstates the CSAPR, the Company anticipates an increase in capital costs and other expenditures and the operational restrictions that would be required to comply with the CSAPR could have a material impact on the Company's business, financial condition and results of operations. If the U.S. Supreme Court affirms the D.C. Circuit's ruling vacating the CSAPR, the EPA may subsequently promulgate a replacement transport rule. At this time, we cannot predict the impact that such a replacement transport rule would have on the Company. However, such replacement rule could have a material impact on the Company's business, financial condition and results of operations.
As discussed in Item 1. — Business - Andes Businesses - Chile - Regulatory Framework - Other Regulatory Considerations in the Company's Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012, a 2011 Chilean regulation provides for stringent limits on emission by thermoelectric power plants of particulate matter and gases produced by the combustion of solid and liquid fuels, particularly coal. For existing plants, including those currently under construction, the new limits for particulate matter emission will go into effect by the end of 2013 and the new limits for SO 2 (sulfur dioxide), NOx (nitrogen dioxide) and mercury emission will begin to apply in mid-2016, except for those plants operating in zones declared saturated or latent zones (areas at risk of or affected by excessive air pollution), where these emission limits will become effective by June 2015. In order to comply with these emission standards, AES Gener in Chile will invest approximately $330 million, at its older coal facilities, including its proportional investment in an equity-method investee, Guacolda. Through June 30, 2013, AES Gener has spent approximately $118 million, and the remaining $212 million will be invested between the remainder of 2013 and 2016 in order to comply within the required time frame.
Additional Environmental Regulatory Events Occurring During Quarter
Please see Item 2. — Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Key Trends and Uncertainties - Regulatory - Environmental set forth in the Company’s Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended March 31, 2013 for further information about the following events that occurred during the quarterly period ended June 30, 2013 and relate to the impact of environmental laws and regulations on the Company and its subsidiaries:

•
In April 2013, the EPA announced proposed rules to reduce pollutants discharged into waterways by power plants. These rules are updates to the existing rules and identify four preferred options for controlling the discharge of these pollutants. The EPA is required to finalize these rules by May 2014.
•
In April 2013, IPL received a two-year extension, through September 2017, of the compliance deadline required by the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System ("NPDES") permits that the Indiana Department of Environmental Management issued to the IPL Petersburg, and Harding Street generating stations by the Indiana Department of Environmental Management. NPDES permits regulate specific industrial wastewater and storm water discharges to the waters of Indiana under Sections 402 and 405 of the U.S. Clean Water Act. These permits set new levels of acceptable metal effluent water discharge, as well as monitoring and other requirements designed to protect aquatic life.
•
In June 2013, DP&L's Hutchings generation station's Unit 4 was retired as part of DP&L's plan to retire by June 2015 the six coal-fired units aggregating approximately 360 MW at such generation station. DP&L is retiring these units as a result of existing and expected environmental regulations. Conversion of the coal-fired units to natural gas was investigated, but the cost of investment exceeded the expected return. In addition, DP&L owns approximately 207 MW of coal-fired generation at Beckjord Unit 6, which is operated by Duke Energy Ohio.

54

The co-owners of Beckjord Unit 6 have notified PJM that they plan to retire Beckjord Unit 6 by June 1, 2015. At this time, DP&L does not have plans to replace the units that will be retired.
Capital Resources and Liquidity
Overview
As of June 30, 2013 , the Company had unrestricted cash and cash equivalents of $1.6 billion , of which approximately $111 million was held at the Parent Company and qualified holding companies, and approximately $703 million was held in short term investments primarily at subsidiaries. In addition, we had restricted cash and debt service reserves of $1.3 billion . The Company also had non-recourse and recourse aggregate principal amounts of debt outstanding of $15.4 billion and $5.7 billion , respectively. Of the approximately $2.9 billion of our current non-recourse debt, $1.2 billion was presented as such because it is due in the next twelve months and $1.7 billion relates to debt considered in default due to covenant violations. We expect such current maturities will be repaid from net cash provided by operating activities of the subsidiary to which the debt relates or through opportunistic refinancing activity or some combination thereof. Approximately $118 million of our recourse debt matures within the next twelve months, which we expect to repay using a combination of cash on hand at the Parent Company, net cash provided by operating activities and net proceeds from the issuance of new debt at the Parent Company.
We rely mainly on long-term debt obligations to fund our construction activities. We have, to the extent available at acceptable terms, utilized non-recourse debt to fund a significant portion of the capital expenditures and investments required to construct and acquire our electric power plants, distribution companies and related assets. Our non-recourse financing is designed to limit cross default risk to the Parent Company or other subsidiaries and affiliates. Our non-recourse long-term debt is a combination of fixed and variable interest rate instruments. Generally, a portion or all of the variable rate debt is fixed through the use of interest rate swaps. In addition, the debt is typically denominated in the currency that matches the currency of the revenue expected to be generated from the benefiting project, thereby reducing currency risk. In certain cases, the currency is matched through the use of derivative instruments. The majority of our non-recourse debt is funded by international commercial banks, with debt capacity supplemented by multilaterals and local regional banks.
Given our long-term debt obligations, the Company is subject to interest rate risk on debt balances that accrue interest at variable rates. When possible, the Company will borrow funds at fixed interest rates or hedge its variable rate debt to fix its interest costs on such obligations. In addition, the Company has historically tried to maintain at least 70% of its consolidated long-term obligations at fixed interest rates, including fixing the interest rate through the use of interest rate swaps. These efforts apply to the notional amount of the swaps compared to the amount of related underlying debt. Presently, the Parent Company’s only material un-hedged exposure to variable interest rate debt relates to indebtedness under its senior secured credit facility. On a consolidated basis, of the Company’s $15.4 billion of total non-recourse debt outstanding as of June 30, 2013 , approximately $4.1 billion bore interest at variable rates that were not subject to a derivative instrument which fixed the interest rate.
In addition to utilizing non-recourse debt at a subsidiary level when available, the Parent Company provides a portion, or in certain instances all, of the remaining long-term financing or credit required to fund development, construction or acquisition of a particular project. These investments have generally taken the form of equity investments or intercompany loans, which are subordinated to the project’s non-recourse loans. We generally obtain the funds for these investments from our cash flows from operations, proceeds from the sales of assets and/or the proceeds from our issuances of debt, common stock and other securities. Similarly, in certain of our businesses, the Parent Company may provide financial guarantees or other credit support for the benefit of counterparties who have entered into contracts for the purchase or sale of electricity, equipment or other services with our subsidiaries or lenders. In such circumstances, if a business defaults on its payment or supply obligation, the Parent Company will be responsible for the business’ obligations up to the amount provided for in the relevant guarantee or other credit support. At June 30, 2013 , the Parent Company had provided outstanding financial and performance-related guarantees or other credit support commitments to or for the benefit of our businesses, which were limited by the terms of the agreements, of approximately $640 million in aggregate (excluding those collateralized by letters of credit and other obligations discussed below).
As a result of the Parent Company’s below investment grade rating, counterparties may be unwilling to accept our general unsecured commitments to provide credit support. Accordingly, with respect to both new and existing commitments, the Parent Company may be required to provide some other form of assurance, such as a letter of credit, to backstop or replace our credit support. The Parent Company may not be able to provide adequate assurances to such counterparties. To the extent we are required and able to provide letters of credit or other collateral to such counterparties, this will reduce the amount of credit available to us to meet our other liquidity needs. At June 30, 2013 , we had $3 million in letters of credit outstanding, provided under our senior secured credit facility, and $231 million in cash collateralized letters of credit outstanding outside of our senior secured credit facility. These letters of credit operate to guarantee performance relating to certain project

55



development activities and business operations. During the quarter ended June 30, 2013 , the Company paid letter of credit fees ranging from 0.25% to 3.25% per annum on the outstanding amounts.
We expect to continue to seek, where possible, non-recourse debt financing in connection with the assets or businesses that we or our affiliates may develop, construct or acquire. However, depending on local and global market conditions and the unique characteristics of individual businesses, non-recourse debt may not be available on economically attractive terms or at all. If we decide not to provide any additional funding or credit support to a subsidiary project that is under construction or has near-term debt payment obligations and that subsidiary is unable to obtain additional non-recourse debt, such subsidiary may become insolvent, and we may lose our investment in that subsidiary. Additionally, if any of our subsidiaries lose a significant customer, the subsidiary may need to withdraw from a project or restructure the non-recourse debt financing. If we or the subsidiary choose not to proceed with a project or are unable to successfully complete a restructuring of the non-recourse debt, we may lose our investment in that subsidiary.
Many of our subsidiaries depend on timely and continued access to capital markets to manage their liquidity needs. The inability to raise capital on favorable terms, to refinance existing indebtedness or to fund operations and other commitments during times of political or economic uncertainty may have material adverse effects on the financial condition and results of operations of those subsidiaries. In addition, changes in the timing of tariff increases or delays in the regulatory determinations under the relevant concessions could affect the cash flows and results of operations of our businesses.
As of June 30, 2013 , the Company had approximately $353 million and $32 million of accounts receivable related to certain of its generation businesses in Argentina and the Dominican Republic, and its utility businesses in Brazil classified as “Noncurrent assets — other” and “ Current assets — Accounts receivable ,” respectively. The noncurrent portion primarily consists of accounts receivable in Argentina that, pursuant to amended agreements or government resolutions, have collection periods that extend beyond June 30, 2014, or one year from the latest balance sheet date. The majority of Argentinian receivables have been converted into long-term financing for the construction of power plants. See Note 6 — Long-term Financing Receivables included in Item 1. — Financial Statements of this Form 10-Q and Item 1. — Business — Regulatory Matters — Argentina included in the 2012 Form 10-K for further information.
Consolidated Cash Flows
During the six months ended June 30, 2013 , cash and cash equivalents decrease d $355 million to $1.6 billion . The decrease in cash and cash equivalents was due to $1.2 billion of cash provided by operating activities, $706 million of cash used in investing activities, $799 million of cash used in financing activities, an unfavorable effect of foreign currency exchange rates on cash of $39 million and a $4 million decrease in cash of discontinued and held for sale businesses.
Operating Activities — Net cash provided by operating activities increase d $71 million to $1.2 billion during the six months ended June 30, 2013 compared to $1.1 billion during the six months ended June 30, 2012 .
Operating cash flow for the six months ended June 30, 2013 resulted primarily from the net income adjusted for non-cash items, principally depreciation and amortization and loss on extinguishment of debt, partially offset by a net use of cash for operating activities of $310 million in operating assets and liabilities. This was primarily due to the following:
•
a decrease of $252 million in accounts payable and other current liabilities primarily at Eletropaulo due to a decrease in regulatory liabilities and a decrease in value added taxes payables due to the lower tariff in 2013 and at Uruguaiana primarily related to the extinguishment of a liability based on a favorable arbitration decision;
•
an increase of $147 million in other assets primarily due to an increase in noncurrent regulatory assets at Eletropaulo, resulting from higher priced energy purchases which are recoverable through future tariffs;
•
a decrease of $134 million in net income tax and other tax payables primarily from payment of income taxes exceeding accruals for the tax liability on 2013 income, partially offset by an accrual of indirect taxes in Brazil; partially offset by
•
a decrease of $191 million in accounts receivable primarily due to lower tariffs at Eletropaulo and higher collections combined with lower tariffs and reduced consumption at Sul, partially offset by lower collections at Maritza.
Net cash provided by operating activities was $1.1 billion during the six months ended June 30, 2012 . Operating cash flow for the six months ended June 30, 2012 resulted primarily from net income adjusted for non-cash items, principally depreciation and amortization, deferred income taxes, gains and losses on sales and disposals and impairment charges, partially offset by changes in operating assets and liabilities. The net change in operating assets and liabilities consumed $269 million of operating cash flow. This was primarily due to:

56



•
an increase of $293 million in other assets primarily due to an increase in long term regulatory assets at Eletropaulo as a result of the high price and volume of energy purchases and regulatory charges to be recovered in future tariffs and the establishment of a long term note receivable at Cartagena in Spain following the arbitration settlement;
•
a decrease of $249 million in net income tax and other tax payables primarily due to the payment of income taxes in excess of accruals for new current tax liabilities;
•
an increase of $175 million in accounts receivable primarily due to lower collection rates at Maritza, Sonel and Itabo; partially offset by
•
an increase of $245 million from an increase in other liabilities primarily explained by long term regulatory liabilities at Eletropaulo related to the tariff reset discussed in the gross margin analysis above; and
•
an increase of $228 million in accounts payable and other current liabilities primarily at Eletropaulo due to an increase in short term regulatory liabilities driven by the tariff reset, offset by a decrease in other current liabilities arising from value added tax payables.
This net increase of cash flows from operating activities of $71 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2012 was primarily the result of the following:

•
US — an increase of $49 million at our generation businesses primarily due to proceeds of $60 million from the PPA termination at Beaver Valley in January 2013.
•
Andes — a decrease of $104 million at our generation businesses primarily due to higher working capital requirements at Gener.
•
Brazil — an increase of $138 million at our utility businesses primarily driven by the recovery of deferred costs from the regulator, lower transmission costs and regulatory charges partially offset by higher priced energy purchases and lower collections at Eletropaulo, as well as a decrease of $87 million at our generation businesses primarily due to higher purchases on spot market and income taxes payments, offset by higher energy sales.
•
MCAC — an increase of $97 million at our generation businesses primarily due to lower working capital requirements.
•
Asia — a decrease of $44 million at our generation businesses primarily due to higher working capital requirements at Masinloc.
Investing Activities — Net cash used in investing activities was $706 million during the six months ended June 30, 2013 . This was primarily attributable to capital expenditures of $ 866 million consisting of $454 million of growth capital expenditures and $412 million of maintenance and environmental capital expenditures. Growth capital expenditures included amounts at Eletropaulo of $138 million, Gener of $81 million, Jordan of $54 million, Sul of $44 million, Sixpenny Wood of $22 million, Mong Duong of $19 million and Yelvertoft of $19 million. Maintenance and environmental capital expenditures included amounts at IPL of $87 million, Eletropaulo of $72 million, Gener of $47 million, DPL of $46 million, Sul of $39 million and Tietê of $30 million. This use of cash was partially offset by proceeds from the sale of business, net of cash sold of $ 135 million including $113 million for the sale of the Ukraine businesses and $24 million for the sale of our remaining interest in Cartagena.
Net cash used in investing activities was $352 million during the six months ended June 30, 2012 . This was primarily attributable to capital expenditures of $ 1.1 billion consisting of $587 million of growth capital expenditures and $484 million of maintenance and environmental capital expenditures. Growth capital expenditures included amounts at Gener of $131 million, Eletropaulo of $114 million, Mong Duong of $70 million, Sul of $55 million, DPL of $44 million, Maritza of $23 million, Mountain View 4 of $18 million and Drone Hill of $17 million. Maintenance and environmental capital expenditures included amounts at Eletropaulo of $90 million, DPL of $66 million, IPL of $59 million, Sul of $47 million, Panama of $44 million, Gener of $41 million and Tietê of $20 million. These uses of cash were partially offset by sales of short-term investments, net of purchases of $ 344 million which included amounts at Gener of $121 million, Brasiliana of $106 million, Eletropaulo of $73 million and Tietê of $56 million offset by purchases of $14 million at Andres. Proceeds from the sale of businesses, net of cash sold of $ 332 million included amounts at Red Oak of $142 million, Ironwood of $84 million, Cartagena of $63 million and the sale of St. Patrick and Innovent of $42 million. Proceeds from government grants for asset construction of $ 117 million were mainly due to funds received at our wind projects, including $82 million at Laurel Mountain and $30 million at Mountain View 4.

Net cash used in investing activities increase d $354 million to $706 million during the six months ended June 30, 2013 compared to net cash used in investing activities of $352 million during the six months ended June 30, 2012 . This net increase

57



was primarily due to an increase in purchases of short-term investments, net of sales of $ 414 million and a decrease in proceeds from the sale of businesses, net of cash sold of $197 million , partially offset by a decrease in capital expenditures of $ 205 million .
Financing Activities — Net cash used in financing activities was $799 million during the six months ended June 30, 2013 . Repayments of recourse and non-recourse debt of $3.4 billion included amounts at the Parent Company of $1.2 billion, Masinloc of $546 million, DPL of $425 million, Tietê of $396 million, El Salvador of $301 million, IPL of $110 million, Warrior Run of $87 million, Puerto Rico of $52 million, Sul of $37 million and Maritza of $29 million. Financed capital expenditures were $257 million primarily at Mong Duong for payments to the contractors which took place more than three months after the associated equipment was purchased or work performed. Distributions to noncontrolling interests of $211 million included amounts at Tietê of $98 million, Brasiliana of $34 million, Buffalo Gap of $25 million and Gener of $18 million. Payments for financing fees of $127 million included amounts at Cochrane of $41 million, Eletropaulo of $25 million and Mong Duong of $13 million. This was partially offset by issuances of recourse and non-recourse debt of $3.1 billion including amounts at the Parent Company for $750 million, Masinloc of $500 million, Tietê of $496 million, El Salvador of $310 million, Mong Duong of $210 million, DPL of $200 million, IPL of $170 million, Sul of $150 million, Cochrane of $82 million, Warrior Run of $74 million, Kribi of $63 million and Jordan of $61 million.
Net cash used in financing activities was $862 million during the six months ended June 30, 2012 . Distributions to noncontrolling interests of $578 million included amounts at Eletropaulo of $203 million, Brasiliana of $189 million, Tietê of $132 million and Gener of $28 million. Repayments of recourse and non-recourse debt of $333 million included amounts at Gener of $29 million, Eletropaulo of $27 million, Southland of $25 million, Maritza of $25 million, Sonel of $24 million, Puerto Rico of $23 million, Bulgaria Wind of $22 million, Masinloc of $20 million, Kribi of $19 million, Warrior Run of $17 million and Kilroot of $14 million. Net repayments under the revolving credit facilities of $310 million included $295 million at the Parent Company and $33 million at Alicura. The purchase of treasury stock at the Parent Company was $231 million. This was partially offset by issuance of non-recourse debt of $ 579 million including amounts at Eletropaulo of $339 million, Mong Duong of $71 million, Kribi of $41 million, Alicura of $35 million, Panama of $25 million and Drone Hill of $17 million.
Net cash used in financing activities decrease d $63 million to $799 million during the six months ended June 30, 2013 compared to net cash used in financing activities of $862 million during the six months ended June 30, 2012 . This net decrease was primarily due to increases in repayments of recourse and non-recourse debt of $ 3 billion , financed capital expenditures of $ 245 million and payments for financings fees of $ 110 million , partially offset by an increase in the issuance of recourse and non-recourse debt of $ 2.6 billion as well as decreases in distributions to noncontrolling interests of $ 367 million , net repayments under revolving credit facilities of $ 343 million and purchase of treasury stock of $ 213 million .
Parent Company Liquidity
The following discussion of Parent Company Liquidity has been included because we believe it is a useful measure of the liquidity available to The AES Corporation, or the Parent Company, given the non-recourse nature of most of our indebtedness. Parent Company Liquidity as outlined below is a non-GAAP measure and should not be construed as an alternative to cash and cash equivalents which are determined in accordance with GAAP, as a measure of liquidity. Cash and cash equivalents are disclosed in the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows. Parent Company Liquidity may differ from similarly titled measures used by other companies. The principal sources of liquidity at the Parent Company level are:

•
dividends and other distributions from our subsidiaries, including refinancing proceeds;
•
proceeds from debt and equity financings at the Parent Company level, including availability under our credit facilities; and
•
proceeds from asset sales.
Cash requirements at the Parent Company level are primarily to fund:

•
interest;
•
principal repayments of debt;
•
acquisitions;
•
construction commitments;
•
other equity commitments;
•
equity repurchases;
•
taxes;

58



•
Parent Company overhead and development costs; and
•
dividends on common stock.
The Company defines Parent Company Liquidity as cash available to the Parent Company plus available borrowings under existing credit facilities. The cash held at qualified holding companies represents cash sent to subsidiaries of the Company domiciled outside of the U.S. Such subsidiaries have no contractual restrictions on their ability to send cash to the Parent Company. Parent Company Liquidity is reconciled to its most directly comparable U.S. GAAP financial measure, “cash and cash equivalents,” at June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012 as follows:

The Company paid a dividend of $0.04 per share to its common stockholders during the three months ended June 30, 2013 . While we intend to continue payment of dividends and believe we will have sufficient liquidity to do so, we can provide no assurance we will be able to continue the payment of dividends.
While we believe that our sources of liquidity will be adequate to meet our needs for the foreseeable future, this belief is based on a number of material assumptions, including, without limitation, assumptions about our ability to access the capital markets (see Key Trends and Uncertainties and Global Economic Considerations in this Item 2), the operating and financial performance of our subsidiaries, currency exchange rates, power market pool prices, and the ability of our subsidiaries to pay dividends. In addition, our subsidiaries’ ability to declare and pay cash dividends to us (at the Parent Company level) is subject to certain limitations contained in loans, governmental provisions and other agreements. We can provide no assurance that these sources will be available when needed or that the actual cash requirements will not be greater than anticipated. We have met our interim needs for shorter-term and working capital financing at the Parent Company level with our senior secured credit facility. See Item 1A. — Risk Factors, “ The AES Corporation is a holding company and its ability to make payments on its outstanding indebtedness, including its public debt securities, is dependent upon the receipt of funds from its subsidiaries by way of dividends, fees, interest, loans or otherwise .” of the Company’s 2012 Form 10-K.
Various debt instruments at the Parent Company level, including our senior secured credit facilities, contain certain restrictive covenants. The covenants provide for, among other items:

•
limitations on other indebtedness, liens, investments and guarantees;
•
limitations on dividends, stock repurchases and other equity transactions;
•
restrictions and limitations on mergers and acquisitions, sales of assets, leases, transactions with affiliates and off-balance sheet and derivative arrangements;
•
maintenance of certain financial ratios; and
•
financial and other reporting requirements.
As of June 30, 2013 , the Parent Company was in compliance with these covenants.
Non-Recourse Debt
While the lenders under our non-recourse debt financings generally do not have direct recourse to the Parent Company, defaults thereunder can still have important consequences for our results of operations and liquidity, including, without limitation:

•
reducing our cash flows as the subsidiary will typically be prohibited from distributing cash to the Parent Company during the time period of any default;
•
triggering our obligation to make payments under any financial guarantee, letter of credit or other credit support we have provided to or on behalf of such subsidiary;
•
causing us to record a loss in the event the lender forecloses on the assets; and

59



•
triggering defaults in our outstanding debt at the Parent Company.
For example, our senior secured credit facilities and outstanding debt securities at the Parent Company include events of default for certain bankruptcy related events involving material subsidiaries. In addition, our revolving credit agreement at the Parent Company includes events of default related to payment defaults and accelerations of outstanding debt of material subsidiaries.
Some of our subsidiaries are currently in default with respect to all or a portion of their outstanding indebtedness. The total non-recourse debt classified as current in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet amounts to $2.9 billion . The portion of current debt related to such defaults was $1.7 billion at June 30, 2013 , all of which was non-recourse debt related to five subsidiaries — Changuinola, Maritza, Sonel, Kavarna and Saurashtra.
None of the subsidiaries that are currently in default are subsidiaries that met the applicable definition of materiality under AES’s corporate debt agreements as of June 30, 2013 in order for such defaults to trigger an event of default or permit acceleration under AES’s indebtedness. However, as a result of additional dispositions of assets, other significant reductions in asset carrying values or other matters in the future that may impact our financial position and results of operations or the financial position of the individual subsidiary, it is possible that one or more of these subsidiaries could fall within the definition of a “material subsidiary” and thereby upon an acceleration trigger an event of default and possible acceleration of the indebtedness under the Parent Company’s outstanding debt securities.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
The condensed consolidated financial statements of AES are prepared in conformity with U.S. GAAP, which requires the use of estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the periods presented. The Company’s significant accounting policies are described in Note 1 — General and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies to the consolidated financial statements included in our 2012 Form 10-K. The Company’s critical accounting estimates are described in Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations included in the 2012 Form 10-K. An accounting estimate is considered critical if the estimate requires management to make an assumption about matters that were highly uncertain at the time the estimate was made, different estimates reasonably could have been used, or if changes in the estimate that would have a material impact on the Company’s financial condition or results of operations are reasonably likely to occur from period to period. Management believes that the accounting estimates employed are appropriate and resulting balances are reasonable; however, actual results could differ from the original estimates, requiring adjustments to these balances in future periods. The Company has reviewed and determined that those policies remain the Company’s critical accounting policies as of and for the six months ended June 30, 2013 .

ITEM 3.    QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
Overview Regarding Market Risks
Our generation and utility businesses are exposed to and proactively manage market risk. Our primary market risk exposure is to the price of commodities, particularly electricity, oil, natural gas, coal and environmental credits. We operate in multiple countries and as such are subject to volatility in exchange rates at varying degrees at the subsidiary level and between our functional currency, the U.S. Dollar, and currencies of the countries in which we operate. We are also exposed to interest rate fluctuations due to our issuance of debt and related financial instruments.
These disclosures set forth in this Item 3 are based upon a number of assumptions; actual effects may differ. The safe harbor provided in Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 shall apply to the disclosures contained in this Item 3. For further information regarding market risk, see Item 1A. — Risk Factors, Our financial position and results of operations may fluctuate significantly due to fluctuations in currency exchange rates experienced at our foreign operations , Our businesses may incur substantial costs and liabilities and be exposed to price volatility as a result of risks associated with the wholesale electricity markets, which could have a material adverse effect on our financial performance, and We may not be adequately hedged against our exposure to changes in commodity prices or interest rates of the 2012 Form 10-K.
Commodity Price Risk
Although we prefer to hedge our exposure to the impact of market fluctuations in the price of electricity, fuels and environmental credits, some of our generation businesses operate under short-term sales or under contract sales that leave an un-hedged exposure on some of capacity, or through imperfect pass throughs. In our utility businesses, we may be exposed to commodity price movements depending on our excess or shortfall of generation relative to load obligations, and sharing or pass through mechanisms. These businesses subject our operational results to the volatility of prices for electricity, fuels and environmental credits in competitive markets. We employ risk management strategies to hedge our financial performance against the effects of fluctuations in energy commodity prices. The implementation of these strategies can involve the use of physical and financial commodity contracts, futures, swaps and options.
When hedging the output of our generation assets, we have contract sales that lock in the spread per MWh between variable costs, such as fuel, to generate a unit of electricity and the price at which the electricity can be sold. The portion of our sales and purchases that are not subject to such agreements will be exposed to commodity price risk or to the extent indexation is not perfectly matched to the business drivers.
AES businesses will see changes in variable margin performance as global commodity prices shift. For the balance of 2013, we project pretax earnings exposure on a 10% move in commodity prices would be approximately $5 million for coal, $5 million for oil and $5 million for natural gas. Our estimates exclude correlation. For example, a decline in oil or natural gas prices can be accompanied by a decline in coal price if commodity prices are correlated. In aggregate, the Company’s downside exposure occurs with lower oil, lower natural gas, and higher coal prices. Exposures at individual businesses will change as new contracts or financial hedges are executed, and our sensitivity to changes in commodity prices generally increases in later years with reduced hedge levels at some of our businesses.
Commodity prices affect our businesses differently depending on the local market characteristics and risk management strategies. Generation costs can be directly affected by movements in the price of natural gas, oil and coal. Spot power prices and contract indexation provisions are affected by the same commodity price movements. We have some natural offsets across our businesses such that low commodity prices may benefit certain businesses and be a cost to others. Offsets are not perfectly linear or symmetric. The sensitivities are affected by a number of non-market, or indirect market factors. Examples of these factors include hydrology, energy market supply/demand balances, regional fuel supply issues, regional competition, bidding strategies and regulatory interventions such as price caps. Operational flexibility changes the shape of our sensitivities. For instance, certain power plants may reduce dispatch in low market environments limiting downside exposure. Volume variation also affects our commodity exposure. The volume sold under contracts or retail concessions can vary based on weather and economic conditions resulting in a higher or lower volume of sales in spot markets. Thermal unit availability and hydrology can affect the generation output available for sale and can affect the marginal unit setting power prices.
In the US SBU, the generation businesses are largely contracted but may have residual risk to the extent contracts are not perfectly indexed to the business drivers. IPL sells power at wholesale once retail demand is served, so retail sales demand may affect commodity exposure. Additionally, at DPL, open access allows our retail customers to switch to alternative suppliers; falling energy prices may increase the rate at which our customers switch to alternative suppliers; DPL sells generation in excess of its retail demand under short-term sales; and the outcome of the DPL regulatory filing may affect our level of commodity price exposure over time. Given that natural gas-fired generators set power prices for many markets, higher natural

61



gas prices expand margins. The positive impact on margins will be moderated if natural gas-fired generators set the market price only during peak periods.
For the Andes SBU, our business in Chile owns assets in the central and northern regions of the country and has a portfolio of contract sales in both. In the central region, the contract sales cover the efficient generation from our coal-fired and hydroelectric assets. Any residual spot price risk will primarily be driven by the amount of hydrological inflows. In the case of low hydroelectric generation, spot price exposure is capped by the ability to dispatch our natural gas/diesel assets. There is a small amount of coal generation in the northern region that is not covered by the portfolio of contract sales and therefore subject to spot price risk. In both regions, generators with oil or oil-linked fuel generally set power prices. In Colombia we operate under a short-term sales strategy and have commodity exposure to un-hedged volumes. Because we own hydroelectric assets there, contracts are not indexed to fuel.
The businesses in the MCAC SBU have commodity exposure on un-hedged volumes. Panama is largely contracted under a portfolio of fixed volume contract sales. To the extent hydrological inflows are greater than or less than the contract sales volume, the business will be sensitive to changes in spot power prices which may be driven by oil prices in some time periods. In the Dominican Republic, we own natural gas-fired assets contracted under a portfolio of contract sales and a coal-fired asset contracted with a single contract, and both contract and spot prices may move with commodity prices.
For the Brazil SBU, the hydroelectric generating facility is covered by contract sales. Under normal hydrological volatility, spot price risk is mitigated through a regulated sharing mechanism across all hydroelectric generators in the country. Under more extreme hydrological conditions, the sharing mechanism may not be sufficient to cover the business' contract position, and therefore it may have to purchase power at spot prices linked to the cost of thermal generation. Spot prices in Brazil are generally not directly linked to global commodity prices.
In the EMEA SBU, our Kilroot facility operates on a short-term sales strategy. The commodity risk at our Kilroot business is due to the dark spread, the difference between electricity price and our coal based variable dispatch cost, to the extent sales are un-hedged. Natural gas-fired generators set power prices for many periods, so higher natural gas prices expand margins and higher coal prices cause a decline. The positive impact on margins will be moderated if natural gas-fired generators set the market price only during certain peak periods. At our Ballylumford facility, NIAUR, the regulator, has the right to terminate the contract, which would impact our commodity exposure. Our operations in Turkey are sensitive to the spread between power and natural gas prices, both of which have historically demonstrated a relationship to oil. As a result of these relationships, falling oil prices could compress margins realized at the business.
In the Asia SBU, our Masinloc business is a coal-fired generation facility which hedges its output under a portfolio of contract sales that are indexed to fuel prices, with generation in excess of contract volume sold in the spot market. Low oil prices may be a driver of margin compression since oil affects spot power sale prices.
Foreign Exchange Rate Risk
In the normal course of business, we are exposed to foreign currency risk and other foreign operations risks that arise from investments in foreign subsidiaries and affiliates. A key component of these risks stems from the fact that some of our foreign subsidiaries and affiliates utilize currencies other than our consolidated reporting currency, the U.S. Dollar. Additionally, certain of our foreign subsidiaries and affiliates have entered into monetary obligations in the U.S. Dollar or currencies other than their own functional currencies. Primarily, we are exposed to changes in the exchange rate between the U.S. Dollar and the following currencies: Argentine Peso, Brazilian Real, British Pound, Cameroonian Franc, Chilean Peso, Colombian Peso, Dominican Peso, Euro, Indian Rupee, Kazakhstani Tenge, and Philippine Peso. These subsidiaries and affiliates have attempted to limit potential foreign exchange exposure by entering into revenue contracts that adjust to changes in foreign exchange rates. We also use foreign currency forwards, swaps and options, where possible, to manage our risk related to certain foreign currency fluctuations.
We have entered into hedges to partially mitigate the exposure of earnings translated into the U.S. Dollar to foreign exchange volatility. The largest foreign exchange risks are stemming from the following currencies: Argentine Peso, Brazilian Real, and Euro, determined based on historic volatility over the preceding twelve-month period. As of June 30, 2013 , assuming a 10% U.S. Dollar appreciation, adjusted pretax earnings attributable to foreign subsidiaries exposed to movement in the exchange rate of the Argentine Peso, Brazilian Real, and Euro (the earnings attributable to the subsidiaries exposed to the Cameroonian Franc movements are included under Euro due to the fixed exchange rate of the Cameroonian Franc to the Euro) relative to the U.S. Dollar are projected to be reduced by approximately $5 million, $5 million, and $5 million, respectively, for the balance of 2013. These numbers have been produced by applying a one-time 10% U.S. Dollar appreciation to forecasted exposed pretax earnings for the balance of 2013 coming from the respective subsidiaries exposed to the currencies listed above, net of the impact of outstanding hedges and holding all other variables constant. The numbers presented above are net of any transactional gains/losses. These sensitivities may change in the future as new hedges are executed or existing hedges are

62



unwound. Additionally, updates to the forecasted pretax earnings exposed to foreign exchange risk may result in further modification. The sensitivities presented do not capture the impacts of any administrative market restrictions or currency inconvertibility.
Interest Rate Risks
We are exposed to risk resulting from changes in interest rates as a result of our issuance of variable and fixed-rate debt, as well as interest rate swap, cap and floor and option agreements.
Decisions on the fixed-floating debt ratio are made to be consistent with the risk factors faced by individual businesses or plants. Depending on whether a plant’s capacity payments or revenue stream is fixed or varies with inflation, we partially hedge against interest rate fluctuations by arranging fixed-rate or variable-rate financing. In certain cases, particularly for non-recourse financing, we execute interest rate swap, cap and floor agreements to effectively fix or limit the interest rate exposure on the underlying financing. Most of our interest rate risk is related to non-recourse financings at our businesses.
As of June 30, 2013 , the portfolio’s pretax earnings exposure for the balance of 2013 to a 100 basis point increase in interest rates for our Argentine Peso, Brazilian Real, British Pound, Chilean Peso, Columbian Peso, Euro, Indian Rupee, Kazakhstani Tenge, and U.S. Dollar denominated debt would be approximately $10 million based on the impact of a one-time, 100 basis point upward shift in interest rates on interest expense for the debt denominated in these currencies. The amounts do not take into account the historical correlation between these interest rates.

ITEM 4.    CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
The Company, under the supervision and with the participation of its management, including the Company’s Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”), evaluated the effectiveness of its “disclosure controls and procedures,” as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Based on that evaluation, our CEO and CFO have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of June 30, 2013 to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms, and include controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in such reports is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our CEO and CFO, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Changes in Internal Controls over Financial Reporting
There were no changes that occurred during the fiscal quarter covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II: OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1.    LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
The Company is involved in certain claims, suits and legal proceedings in the normal course of business. The Company has accrued for litigation and claims where it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of loss can be reasonably estimated. The Company believes, based upon information it currently possesses and taking into account established reserves for estimated liabilities and its insurance coverage, that the ultimate outcome of these proceedings and actions is unlikely to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial statements. It is reasonably possible, however, that some matters could be decided unfavorably to the Company and could require the Company to pay damages or make expenditures in amounts that could be material but cannot be estimated as of June 30, 2013 .
In 1989, Centrais Elétricas Brasileiras S.A. (“Eletrobrás”) filed suit in the Fifth District Court in the State of Rio de Janeiro (“FDC”) against Eletropaulo Eletricidade de São Paulo S.A. (“EEDSP”) relating to the methodology for calculating monetary adjustments under the parties’ financing agreement. In April 1999, the FDC found for Eletrobrás and in September 2001, Eletrobrás initiated an execution suit in the FDC to collect approximately R$1.38 billion ( $617 million ) from Eletropaulo (as estimated by Eletropaulo) and a lesser amount from an unrelated company, Companhia de Transmissão de Energia Elétrica Paulista (“CTEEP”) (Eletropaulo and CTEEP were spun off from EEDSP pursuant to its privatization in 1998). In November 2002, the FDC rejected Eletropaulo’s defenses in the execution suit. Eletropaulo appealed and in September 2003, the Appellate Court of the State of Rio de Janeiro (“AC”) ruled that Eletropaulo was not a proper party to the litigation because any alleged liability had been transferred to CTEEP pursuant to the privatization. In June 2006, the Superior Court of Justice (“SCJ”) reversed the Appellate Court’s decision and remanded the case to the FDC for further proceedings, holding that Eletropaulo’s liability, if any, should be determined by the FDC. Eletropaulo’s subsequent appeals were dismissed. In February 2010, the FDC appointed an accounting expert to determine the amount of the alleged debt and the responsibility for its payment in light of the privatization, in accordance with the methodology proposed by Eletrobrás. Eletropaulo filed an interlocutory appeal with the AC asserting that the expert was required to determine the issues in accordance with the methodology proposed by Eletropaulo, and that Eletropaulo should be entitled to take discovery and present arguments on the issues to be determined by the expert. In April 2010, the AC issued a decision agreeing with Eletropaulo’s arguments and directed the FDC to proceed accordingly. However, in December 2012, the FDC disregarded the AC’s decision that the parties were entitled to full discovery and an expert appraisal of the issues prior to the resolution of the case and, instead, issued a decision finding Eletropaulo liable for the debt. The AC subsequently granted Eletropaulo’s request to suspend the execution suit in the FDC and thereafter annulled the FDC’s decision. The case has returned to the FDC for proceedings in accordance with the AC’s April 2010 decision. If the FDC again finds Eletropaulo liable for the debt, after the amount of the alleged debt is determined, Eletrobrás will be entitled to resume the execution suit in the FDC. If Eletrobrás does so, Eletropaulo will be required to provide security for its alleged liability. In that case, if Eletrobrás requests the seizure of such security and the FDC grants such request, Eletropaulo’s results of operations may be materially adversely affected and, in turn the Company’s results of operations could be materially adversely affected. In addition, in February 2008, CTEEP filed a lawsuit in the FDC against Eletrobrás and Eletropaulo seeking a declaration that CTEEP is not liable for any debt under the financing agreement. Eletropaulo believes it has meritorious defenses to the claims asserted against it and will defend itself vigorously in these proceedings; however, there can be no assurances that it will be successful in its efforts.
In September 1996, a public civil action was asserted against Eletropaulo and Associação Desportiva Cultural Eletropaulo (the “Associação”) relating to alleged environmental damage caused by construction of the Associação near Guarapiranga Reservoir. The initial decision that was upheld by the Appellate Court of the State of São Paulo in 2006 found that Eletropaulo should repair the alleged environmental damage by demolishing certain construction and reforesting the area, and either sponsor an environmental project which would cost approximately R$1 million ( $581 thousand ) as of December 31, 2012 , or pay an indemnification amount of approximately R$15 million ( $7 million ). Eletropaulo has appealed this decision to the Supreme Court and the Supreme Court affirmed the decision of the Appellate Court. Following the Supreme Court’s decision, the case is being remanded to the court of first instance for further proceedings and to monitor compliance by the defendants with the terms of the decision.
In August 2001, the Grid Corporation of Orissa, India, now Gridco Ltd. (“Gridco”), filed a petition against the Central Electricity Supply Company of Orissa Ltd. (“CESCO”), an affiliate of the Company, with the Orissa Electricity Regulatory Commission (“OERC”), alleging that CESCO had defaulted on its obligations as an OERC-licensed distribution company, that CESCO management abandoned the management of CESCO, and seeking interim measures of protection, including the appointment of an administrator to manage CESCO. Gridco, a state-owned entity, is the sole wholesale energy provider to CESCO. Pursuant to the OERC’s August 2001 order, the management of CESCO was replaced with a government administrator who was appointed by the OERC. The OERC later held that the Company and other CESCO shareholders were not necessary or proper parties to the OERC proceeding. In August 2004, the OERC issued a notice to CESCO, the Company and others giving the recipients of the notice until November 2004 to show cause why CESCO’s distribution license should not

64



be revoked. In response, CESCO submitted a business plan to the OERC. In February 2005, the OERC issued an order rejecting the proposed business plan. The order also stated that the CESCO distribution license would be revoked if an acceptable business plan for CESCO was not submitted to and approved by the OERC prior to March 31, 2005. In its April 2, 2005 order, the OERC revoked the CESCO distribution license. CESCO has filed an appeal against the April 2, 2005 OERC order and that appeal remains pending in the Indian courts. In addition, Gridco asserted that a comfort letter issued by the Company in connection with the Company’s indirect investment in CESCO obligates the Company to provide additional financial support to cover all of CESCO’s financial obligations to Gridco. In December 2001, Gridco served a notice to arbitrate pursuant to the Indian Arbitration and Conciliation Act of 1996 on the Company, AES Orissa Distribution Private Limited (“AES ODPL”), and Jyoti Structures (“Jyoti”) pursuant to the terms of the CESCO Shareholders Agreement between Gridco, the Company, AES ODPL, Jyoti and CESCO (the “CESCO arbitration”). In the arbitration, Gridco appeared to be seeking approximately $189 million in damages, plus undisclosed penalties and interest, but a detailed alleged damage analysis was not filed by Gridco. The Company counterclaimed against Gridco for damages. In June 2007, a 2-to-1 majority of the arbitral tribunal rendered its award rejecting Gridco’s claims and holding that none of the respondents, the Company, AES ODPL, or Jyoti, had any liability to Gridco. The respondents’ counterclaims were also rejected. In September 2007, Gridco filed a challenge of the arbitration award with the local Indian court. In June 2010, a 2-to-1 majority of the arbitral tribunal awarded the Company some of its costs relating to the arbitration. In August 2010, Gridco filed a challenge of the cost award with the local Indian court. The Company believes that it has meritorious defenses to the claims asserted against it and will defend itself vigorously in these proceedings; however, there can be no assurances that it will be successful in its efforts.
In March 2003, the office of the Federal Public Prosecutor for the State of São Paulo, Brazil (“MPF”) notified Eletropaulo that it had commenced an inquiry related to the BNDES financings provided to AES Elpa and AES Transgás and the rationing loan provided to Eletropaulo, changes in the control of Eletropaulo, sales of assets by Eletropaulo and the quality of service provided by Eletropaulo to its customers, and requested various documents from Eletropaulo relating to these matters. In July 2004, the MPF filed a public civil lawsuit in the Federal Court of São Paulo (“FCSP”) alleging that BNDES violated Law 8429/92 (the Administrative Misconduct Act) and BNDES’s internal rules by: (1) approving the AES Elpa and AES Transgás loans; (2) extending the payment terms on the AES Elpa and AES Transgás loans; (3) authorizing the sale of Eletropaulo’s preferred shares at a stock-market auction; (4) accepting Eletropaulo’s preferred shares to secure the loan provided to Eletropaulo; and (5) allowing the restructurings of Light Serviços de Eletricidade S.A. and Eletropaulo. The MPF also named AES Elpa and AES Transgás as defendants in the lawsuit because they allegedly benefited from BNDES’s alleged violations. In May 2006, the FCSP ruled that the MPF could pursue its claims based on the first, second, and fourth alleged violations noted above. The MPF subsequently filed an interlocutory appeal with the Federal Court of Appeals (“FCA”) seeking to require the FCSP to consider all five alleged violations. Also, in July 2006, AES Elpa and AES Transgás filed an interlocutory appeal with the FCA, which was subsequently consolidated with the MPF’s interlocutory appeal, seeking a transfer of venue and to enjoin the FCSP from considering any of the alleged violations. In June 2009, the FCA granted the injunction sought by AES Elpa and AES Transgás and transferred the case to the Federal Court of Rio de Janeiro. In May 2010, the MPF filed an appeal with the Superior Court of Justice (“SCJ”) challenging the transfer. In November 2012, the SCJ ruled that the lawsuit must be returned to the FCSP. AES Elpa and AES Brasiliana (the successor of AES Transgás) believe they have meritorious defenses to the allegations asserted against them and will defend themselves vigorously in these proceedings; however, there can be no assurances that they will be successful in their efforts.
AES Florestal, Ltd. (“Florestal”), had been operating a pole factory and had other assets, including a wooded area known as “Horto Renner,” in the State of Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil (collectively, “Property”). Florestal had been under the control of AES Sul (“Sul”) since October 1997, when Sul was created pursuant to a privatization by the Government of the State of Rio Grande do Sul. After it came under the control of Sul, Florestal performed an environmental audit of the entire operational cycle at the pole factory. The audit discovered 200 barrels of solid creosote waste and other contaminants at the pole factory. The audit concluded that the prior operator of the pole factory, Companhia Estadual de Energia Elétrica (“CEEE”), had been using those contaminants to treat the poles that were manufactured at the factory. Sul and Florestal subsequently took the initiative of communicating with Brazilian authorities, as well as CEEE, about the adoption of containment and remediation measures. The Public Attorney’s Office has initiated a civil inquiry (Civil Inquiry n. 24/05) to investigate potential civil liability and has requested that the police station of Triunfo institute a police investigation (IP number 1041/05) to investigate potential criminal liability regarding the contamination at the pole factory. The parties filed defenses in response to the civil inquiry. The Public Attorney’s Office then requested an injunction which the judge rejected on September 26, 2008, and the Public Attorney’s office no longer has a right to appeal the decision. The environmental agency (“FEPAM”) has also started a procedure (Procedure n. 088200567/059) to analyze the measures that shall be taken to contain and remediate the contamination. Also, in March 2000, Sul filed suit against CEEE in the 2nd Court of Public Treasure of Porto Alegre seeking to register in Sul’s name the Property that it acquired through the privatization but that remained registered in CEEE’s name. During those proceedings, AES subsequently waived its claim to re-register the Property and asserted a claim to recover the amounts paid for the Property. That claim is pending. In November 2005, the 7th Court of Public Treasure of Porto Alegre ruled that the Property must be returned to CEEE. CEEE has had sole possession of Horto Renner since September 2006 and of the

65



rest of the Property since April 2006. In February 2008, Sul and CEEE signed a “Technical Cooperation Protocol” pursuant to which they requested a new deadline from FEPAM in order to present a proposal. In March 2008, the State Prosecution office filed a Class Action against AES Florestal, AES Sul and CEEE, requiring an injunction for the removal of the alleged sources of contamination and the payment of an indemnity in the amount of R$6 million ( $3 million ). The injunction was rejected. The above-referenced proposal to FEPAM with respect to containing and remediating the contamination was delivered on April 8, 2008. FEPAM responded by indicating that the parties should undertake the first step of the proposal which would be to retain a contractor. In its response, Sul indicated that such step should be undertaken by CEEE as the relevant environmental events resulted from CEEE’s operations. In October 2011, the State Prosecution Office presented a new request to the court of Triunfo for an injunction against Florestal, Sul and CEEE for the removal of the alleged sources of contamination and remediation, and the court granted the injunction against CEEE but did not grant injunctive relief against Florestal or Sul. CEEE appealed such decision, and the State of Rio Grande do Sul Court of Appeals upheld the decision. As required by the injunction, CEEE has started the removal and disposal of the contaminants, which is ongoing, and Sul is not at risk to bear any of such remediation costs, which are estimated to be approximately R$60 million ( $27 million ). In November 2012, the inspections performed by the court expert and supervised by Sul confirmed that CEEE is fulfilling the injunction by removing the contaminants. The case is in the evidentiary stage awaiting the production of the court’s expert opinion on several matters, including which of the parties had utilized the products found in the area.
In January 2004, the Company received notice of a “Formulation of Charges” filed against the Company by the Superintendence of Electricity of the Dominican Republic. In the “Formulation of Charges,” the Superintendence asserts that the existence of three generation companies (Empresa Generadora de Electricidad Itabo, S.A. (“Itabo”), Dominican Power Partners, and AES Andres BV) and one distribution company (Empresa Distribuidora de Electricidad del Este, S.A. (“Este”)) in the Dominican Republic, violates certain cross-ownership restrictions contained in the General Electricity Law of the Dominican Republic. In February 2004, the Company filed in the First Instance Court of the National District of the Dominican Republic an action seeking injunctive relief based on several constitutional due process violations contained in the “Formulation of Charges” (“Constitutional Injunction”). In February 2004, the Court granted the Constitutional Injunction and ordered the immediate cessation of any effects of the “Formulation of Charges,” and the enactment by the Superintendence of Electricity of a special procedure to prosecute alleged antitrust complaints under the General Electricity Law. In March 2004, the Superintendence of Electricity appealed the Court’s decision. In July 2004, the Company divested any interest in Este. The Superintendence of Electricity’s appeal remains pending. The Company believes it has meritorious defenses to the claims asserted against it and will defend itself vigorously in these proceedings; however, there can be no assurances that it will be successful in its efforts.
In February 2008, the Native Village of Kivalina and the City of Kivalina, Alaska, filed a complaint in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California against the Company and numerous unrelated companies, claiming that the defendants’ alleged GHG emissions contributed to alleged global warming which, in turn, allegedly led to the erosion of the plaintiffs’ alleged land. The plaintiffs asserted nuisance and concert of action claims against the Company and the other defendants, and a conspiracy claim against a subset of the other defendants. The plaintiffs sought to recover relocation costs, indicated in the complaint to be from $95 million to $400 million, and other unspecified damages from the defendants. The Company filed a motion to dismiss the case, which the District Court granted in October 2009. The plaintiffs appealed to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit. In September 2012, the Ninth Circuit affirmed the District Court’s decision. The plaintiffs’ subsequent petition for en banc review was denied by the Ninth Circuit. The plaintiffs thereafter filed a petition requesting review by the Supreme Court, which was denied in June 2013.
In March 2009, AES Uruguaiana Empreendimentos S.A. (“AESU”) in Brazil initiated arbitration in the International Chamber of Commerce (“ICC”) against YPF S.A. (“YPF”) seeking damages and other relief relating to YPF’s breach of the parties’ gas supply agreement (“GSA”). Thereafter, in April 2009, YPF initiated arbitration in the ICC against AESU and two unrelated parties, Companhia de Gas do Esado do Rio Grande do Sul and Transportador de Gas del Mercosur S.A. (“TGM”), claiming that AESU wrongfully terminated the GSA and caused the termination of a transportation agreement (“TA”) between YPF and TGM (“YPF Arbitration”). YPF seeks an unspecified amount of damages from AESU, a declaration that YPF’s performance was excused under the GSA due to certain alleged force majeure events, or, in the alternative, a declaration that the GSA and the TA should be terminated without a finding of liability against YPF because of the allegedly onerous obligations imposed on YPF by those agreements. In addition, in the YPF Arbitration, TGM asserts that if it is determined that AESU is responsible for the termination of the GSA, AESU is liable for TGM’s alleged losses, including losses under the TA. In April 2011, the arbitrations were consolidated into a single proceeding. The hearing on liability issues took place in December 2011. In May 2013, the arbitral Tribunal issued a liability award in AESU's favor. YPF thereafter challenged the award in Argentine court. Given the challenge, the arbitral Tribunal is considering whether to suspend the next phase of the arbitration on damages issues. AESU believes it has meritorious claims and defenses and will assert them vigorously; however, there can be no assurances that it will be successful in its efforts.

In April 2009, the Antimonopoly Agency in Kazakhstan initiated an investigation of the power sales of Ust-Kamenogorsk HPP (“UK HPP”) and Shulbinsk HPP, hydroelectric plants under AES concession (collectively, the “Hydros”), for the period from January through February 2009. The Antimonopoly Agency determined that the Hydros abused their market position and charged monopolistically high prices for power from January through February 2009. The Agency sought an order from the administrative court requiring UK HPP to pay an administrative fine of approximately KZT 120 million ( $1 million ) and to disgorge profits for the period at issue, estimated by the Antimonopoly Agency to be approximately KZT 440 million ( $3 million ). No fines or damages have been paid to date, however, as the proceedings in the administrative court have been suspended due to the initiation of related criminal proceedings against officials of the Hydros. In the course of criminal proceedings, the financial police have expanded the periods at issue to the entirety of 2009 in the case of UK HPP and from January through October 2009 in the case of Shulbinsk HPP, and sought increased damages of KZT 1.2 billion ( $8 million ) from UK HPP and KZT 1.3 billion ( $8 million ) from Shulbinsk HPP. The Hydros believe they have meritorious defenses and will assert them vigorously in these proceedings; however, there can be no assurances that they will be successful in their efforts.
In October 2009, AES Mérida III, S. de R.L. de C.V. (AES Mérida), one of our businesses in Mexico, initiated arbitration against its fuel supplier and electricity offtaker, Comisión Federal de Electricidad (“CFE”), seeking a declaration that CFE breached the parties’ power purchase agreement (“PPA”) by supplying gas that did not comply with the PPA’s specifications. Alternatively, AES Mérida requested a declaration that the supply of such gas by CFE is a force majeure event under the PPA. CFE disputed the claims. Although it did not assert counterclaims, in its closing brief CFE asserted that it is entitled to a partial refund of the capacity charge payments that it made for power generated with the out-of-specification gas. In July 2012, the arbitral Tribunal issued an award in AES Mérida’s favor. In December 2012, CFE initiated an action in Mexican court seeking to nullify the award. AES Mérida has opposed the request and asserted a counterclaim to confirm the award. AES Mérida believes it has meritorious defenses in that action; however, there can be no assurances that it will be successful.
In October 2009, IPL received a Notice of Violation (“NOV”) and Finding of Violation from the EPA pursuant to the Clean Air Act (“CAA”) Section 113(a). The NOV alleges violations of the CAA at IPL’s three primarily coal-fired electric generating facilities dating back to 1986. The alleged violations primarily pertain to the Prevention of Significant Deterioration and nonattainment New Source Review (“NSR”) requirements under the CAA. Since receiving the letter, IPL management has met with EPA staff regarding possible resolutions of the NOV. At this time, we cannot predict the ultimate resolution of this matter. However, settlements and litigated outcomes of similar cases have required companies to pay civil penalties, install additional pollution control technology on coal-fired electric generating units, retire existing generating units, and invest in additional environmental projects. A similar outcome in this case could have a material impact to IPL and could, in turn, have a material impact on the Company. IPL would seek recovery of any operating or capital expenditures related to air pollution control technology to reduce regulated air emissions; however, there can be no assurances that it would be successful in that regard.
In November 2009, April 2010, December 2010, April 2011, June 2011, August 2011, and November 2011, substantially similar personal injury lawsuits were filed by a total of 49 residents and decedent estates in the Dominican Republic against the Company, AES Atlantis, Inc., AES Puerto Rico, LP, AES Puerto Rico, Inc., and AES Puerto Rico Services, Inc., in the Superior Court for the State of Delaware. In each lawsuit, the plaintiffs allege that the coal combustion byproducts of AES Puerto Rico’s power plant were illegally placed in the Dominican Republic from October 2003 through March 2004 and subsequently caused the plaintiffs’ birth defects, other personal injuries, and/or deaths. The plaintiffs did not quantify their alleged damages, but generally alleged that they are entitled to compensatory and punitive damages and the Company is not able to estimate damages, if any, at this time. The AES defendants moved for partial dismissal of both the November 2009 and April 2010 lawsuits on various grounds. In July 2011, the Superior Court dismissed the plaintiffs’ international law and punitive damages claims, but held that the plaintiffs had stated intentional tort, negligence, and strict liability claims under Dominican law, which the Superior Court found governed the lawsuits. The Superior Court granted the plaintiffs leave to amend their complaints in accordance with its decision, and in September 2011, the plaintiffs in the November 2009 and April 2010 lawsuits did so. In November 2011, the AES defendants again moved for partial dismissal of those amended complaints, and in both lawsuits, the Superior Court dismissed the plaintiffs' claims for future medical monitoring expenses but declined to dismiss their claims under Dominican Republic Law 64-00. The AES defendants filed an answer to the November 2009 lawsuit in June 2012. The Superior Court has stayed the remaining six lawsuits, as well as any subsequently filed similar lawsuits. The Superior Court has also ordered that, for the present, discovery will proceed only in the November 2009 lawsuit and will be limited to causation and exposure issues. The AES defendants believe they have meritorious defenses and will defend themselves vigorously; however, there can be no assurances that they will be successful in their efforts.
On December 21, 2010, AES-3C Maritza East 1 EOOD, which owns a 670 MW lignite-fired power plant in Bulgaria, made the first in a series of demands on the performance bond securing the construction Contractor’s obligations under the parties’ EPC Contract. The Contractor failed to complete the plant on schedule. The total amount demanded by Maritza under

67



the performance bond was approximately €155 million. The Contractor obtained an injunction from a lower French court purportedly preventing the issuing bank from honoring the bond demands. However, the Versailles Court of Appeal canceled the injunction in July 2011, and therefore the issuing bank paid the bond demands in full. In addition, in December 2010, the Contractor stopped commissioning of the power plant’s two units, allegedly because of the purported characteristics of the lignite supplied to it for commissioning. In January 2011, the Contractor initiated arbitration on its lignite claim, seeking an extension of time to complete the power plant, an increase to the contract price, and other relief, including in relation to the bond demands. The Contractor later added claims relating to the alleged unavailability of the grid during commissioning. Maritza rejected the Contractor’s claims and asserted counterclaims for delay liquidated damages and other relief relating to the Contractor’s failure to complete the power plant and other breaches of the EPC Contract. Maritza also terminated the EPC Contract for cause and asserted arbitration claims against the Contractor relating to the termination. The Contractor asserted counterclaims relating to the termination. The Contractor is seeking approximately €240 million ( $312 million ) in the arbitration, unspecified damages for alleged injury to reputation, and other relief. The arbitral hearing on the merits is scheduled for November 27-December 6, 2013 and January 6-17, 2014. Maritza believes it has meritorious claims and defenses and will assert them vigorously in these proceedings; however, there can be no assurances that it will be successful in its efforts.
On February 11, 2011, AES Eletropaulo received a notice of violation from São Paulo State’s Environmental Authorities for allegedly destroying 0.32119 hectares of native vegetation at the Conservation Park of Serra do Mar (“Park”), without previous authorization or license. The notice of violation asserted a fine of approximately R$1 million ( $447 thousand ) and the suspension of AES Eletropaulo activities in the Park. As a response to this administrative procedure before the São Paulo State Environmental Authorities (“São Paulo EA”), AES Eletropaulo timely presented its defense on February 28, 2011 seeking to vacate the notice of violation or reduce the fine. In December 2011, the São Paulo EA declined to vacate the notice of violation but recognized the possibility of 40% reduction in the fine if AES Eletropaulo agrees to recover the affected area with additional vegetation. AES Eletropaulo has not appealed the decision and is now discussing the terms of a possible settlement with the São Paulo EA, including a plan to recover the affected area by primarily planting additional trees. In March 2012, the State of São Paulo Prosecutor’s Office of São Bernando do Campo initiated a Civil Proceeding to review the compliance by AES Eletropaulo with the terms of any possible settlement. AES Eletropaulo has had several meetings and field inspections to settle the details of the recovery project. AES Eletropaulo was informed by the Park Administrator that the area where the recovery project was to be located was no longer available. AES Eletropaulo has requested approval for a new area from the Park Administrator and will then present a new recovery project.
In May 2011, a putative class action was filed in the Mississippi federal court against the Company and numerous unrelated companies. The lawsuit alleges that greenhouse gas emissions contributed to alleged global warming which, in turn, allegedly increased the destructive capacity of Hurricane Katrina. The plaintiffs assert claims for public and private nuisance, trespass, negligence, and declaratory judgment. The plaintiffs seek damages relating to loss of property, loss of business, clean-up costs, personal injuries and death, but do not quantify their alleged damages. The Company is unable to estimate the alleged damages at this time. These and other plaintiffs previously brought a substantially similar lawsuit in the federal court but failed to obtain relief. In October 2011, the Company and other defendants filed motions to dismiss the lawsuit. In March 2012, the federal court granted the motion and dismissed the lawsuit. The plaintiffs appealed to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit. In May 2013, the Fifth Circuit affirmed the dismissal. The Company believes it has meritorious defenses and will defend itself vigorously in this lawsuit; however, there can be no assurances that it will be successful in its efforts.
In February 2011, a consumer protection group, S.O.S. Consumidores (“SOSC”), filed a lawsuit in the State of Săo Paulo Federal Court against Eletropaulo and all other distribution companies in the State of Săo Paulo, claiming that the distribution companies had overcharged customers for electricity. SOSC asserts that the distribution companies’ tariffs had been incorrectly calculated by the Brazilian Regulatory Agency (“ANEEL”). ANEEL corrected the alleged error in May 2010. There are separate proceedings against ANEEL to determine whether the tariffs had been properly calculated. SOSC has moved for an injunction requiring tariffs to be corrected from the effective dates of the relevant concession contracts. Eletropaulo has opposed that request on the ground that it did not wrongfully collect amounts from its customers, since its tariff was calculated in accordance with the concession contract with the Federal Government and ANEEL’s rules. At ANEEL’s request, the Superior Court of Justice has suspended the lawsuit and similar cases against third parties and determined that all such cases shall be transferred to the Federal Court of Belo Horizonte. If Eletropaulo does not prevail in the lawsuit, Eletropaulo estimates that its liability to customers could be approximately R$855 million ( $382 million ). Eletropaulo believes it has meritorious defenses and will defend itself vigorously in this lawsuit; however, there can be no assurances that it will be successful in its efforts.
In June 2011, the São Paulo Municipal Tax Authority (the “Municipality”) filed 60 tax assessments in São Paulo administrative court against Eletropaulo, seeking approximately R$1.2 billion ( $537 million ) in services tax (“ISS”) that allegedly had not been collected on revenues for services rendered by Eletropaulo. Eletropaulo estimates that, with interest, the amount at issue has increased to approximately R$2.1 billion ( $939 million ). Eletropaulo has challenged the assessments on the ground that the revenues at issue were not subject to ISS. Eletropaulo believes it has meritorious defenses to the assessments

and will defend itself vigorously in these proceedings; however, there can be no assurances that it will be successful in its efforts.
In August 2012, Fondo Patrimonial de las Empresas Reformadas (“FONPER”) (the Dominican instrumentality that holds the Dominican Republic’s shares in Empresa Generadora de Electricidad Itabo, S.A. (“Itabo”)) filed a criminal complaint against certain current and former employees of AES. The criminal proceedings include a related civil component initiated against Coastal Itabo, Ltd. (“Coastal”) (the AES affiliate shareholder of Itabo) and New Caribbean Investment, S.A. (“NCI”) (the AES affiliate that manages Itabo). FONPER asserts claims relating to the alleged mismanagement of Itabo and seeks approximately $270 million in damages. The Dominican District Attorney (“DA”) has admitted the criminal complaint and is investigating the allegations set forth therein. In September 2012, one of the individual defendants responded to the criminal complaint, denying the charges and seeking an immediate dismissal of same. In April 2013, the DA requested that the Dominican Camara de Cuentas perform an audit of the allegations in the criminal complaint. Further, in August 2012, Coastal and NCI initiated an international arbitration proceeding against FONPER and the Dominican Republic, seeking a declaration that Coastal and NCI have acted both lawfully and in accordance with the relevant contracts with FONPER and the Dominican Republic in relation to the management of Itabo. Coastal and NCI also seek a declaration that the criminal complaint is a breach of the relevant contracts between the parties, including the obligation to arbitrate disputes. Coastal and NCI further seek damages from FONPER and the Dominican Republic resulting from their breach of contract. FONPER and the Dominican Republic have denied the claims. The AES defendants believe they have meritorious claims and defenses, which they will assert vigorously; however, there can be no assurance that they will be successful in their efforts.
In March 2013, an arbitral Tribunal issued a “Partial Final Award” and thereafter a “Revised Partial Final Award” (the “Award”), ordering a wind subsidiary of the Company to pay a net amount of approximately $17 million to its EPC Contractor. The Contractor and certain of its subcontractors thereafter asserted additional claims seeking interest, fees, and costs totaling approximately $13 million, as well as relief relating to certain liens. Also, there were judicial proceedings concerning the Award and a guaranty issued to the Contractor by another wind subsidiary of the Company. The parties settled their disputes in July 2013.
In April 2013, the East Kazakhstan Ecology Department (“ED”) issued an order directing AES Ust-Kamenogorsk CHP ("UK CHP") to pay approximately 720 million KZT ( $4.7 million ) in damages (“ED's April 2013 Order”) . The ED claimed that UK CHP was illegally operating without an emissions permit for 27 days in February - March 2013, which UK CHP contests. In June 2013, the ED filed a lawsuit with the Specialized Interregional Economic Court (the “Economic Court”) seeking to require UK CHP to pay the assessed damages. UK CHP thereafter filed a separate lawsuit with the Economic Court challenging the ED's April 2013 Order and ED's allegations. On August 1, 2013, the Economic Court ruled in favor of UK CHP in the lawsuit filed by UK CHP and required the ED to vacate the ED's April 2013 Order. The lawsuit filed in the Economic Court by the ED is still pending. UK CHP believes it has meritorious claims and defenses to the claim s asserted against it and will defend itself vigorously in these proceedings; however, there can be no assurance that it will be successful in its efforts.
