ladwpbnds2011a\Presentation Feb 2011\Rating Agency Deck (Both) v9 Part I.pptx What is “Decoupling?” Annual Sales Target Year-end Revenues ABOVE Sales Target Year-End Revenues BELOW Sales Target Collect $ Return $ It is an industry best practice that is used within rates and enables power and water conservation WHILE covering a utility’s fixed costs of providing reliable water and electricity services. Revenues ABOVE sales target are returned to customers. Revenues BELOW sales target are recovered through charges over the next calendar year. 7

ladwpbnds2011a\Presentation Feb 2011\Rating Agency Deck (Both) v9 Part I.pptx The Power System’s Revenue Requirement 10 The Power System’s revenue requirement is defined by the expenditures sufficient to operate and maintain the Power System and service debt The revenue requirement is developed from the Power System’s approved budget and is comprised of: O&M Labor O&M Materials and Other Expenses Purchased Power Fuel Cash Funding of Capital Programs Principal Interest City Transfer** Power System FY 2015-16 Revenue Requirement Components* *All Power System financial data in this presentation is based on Power Financial Case 143 ** Based on 8% of previous fiscal year’s gross operating revenue

ladwpbnds2011a\Presentation Feb 2011\Rating Agency Deck (Both) v9 Part I.pptx Rate Structure Encourages Conservation and Maintains Financial Stability 11 The overall proposed rate structure is designed to: - Adjust incremental reliability charge to be a full pass-through with over/under collection. - Set incremental base rate revenue target for five years and collect up to the target. - Adjust pass-through factors periodically.

ladwpbnds2011a\Presentation Feb 2011\Rating Agency Deck (Both) v9 Part I.pptx 12 Three tier structure kWh thresholds are the same as energy usage Access charge and energy (kWh) rates are designed in sync to manage conservation incentives and customer bill impacts Fixed rate monthly charge will be reset every October based on highest monthly amount of energy received in the past year A Power Access charge tied to the highest level of consumption over the last year. This would provide customers with an opportunity to adjust their usage patterns to minimize the use of the Power Infrastructure and their bills. Major elements of this access charge include: Proposed kWh threshold by temperature zone Power Access Charge Zone 1 Monthly Usage (kWh) Zone 2 Monthly Usage (kWh) Tier 1First 350First 500 Tier 2351 - 1050501 - 1500 Tier 3Over 1050Over 1500

ladwpbnds2011a\Presentation Feb 2011\Rating Agency Deck (Both) v9 Part I.pptx Financial Overview Proposed Securitization 22 Securitization would provide a means of leveraging the revenues in an efficient and low cost manner Profile and Outlook AB850 – Approved by the Governor on October 8, 2013 Allows a JPA to issue rate reduction bonds Proceeds of which would primarily be utilized to finance Local Water Supply Programs (including groundwater clean-up) and mandated programs (including safe drinking water program) Securitization provides an average reduction of revenue requirement of approximately $9 million annually starting FY 2016 or 0.58% rate reduction equivalent. That amounts to approximately $45 million by FY 2020 or 2.9% rate reduction equivalent March 2015 – Board authorized the formation of JPA pending City Council approval
