1. | Summary of Significant Accounting Policies |
Organization
The Company is an energy and energy services provider offering physical delivery and related services for both electricity and natural gas primarily in the south central United States. The Company conducts these activities through two business segments: (i) electric utility and (ii) natural gas midstream operations. For a discussion of the change in the Company’s business segments due to the formation of Enable Midstream Partners, see Note 12. For periods prior to May 1, 2013, the Company consolidated Enogex Holdings in its Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. All significant intercompany transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Effective May 1, 2013, OGE Energy, the ArcLight group and CenterPoint Energy, Inc., formed Enable Midstream Partners to own and operate the midstream businesses of OGE Energy and CenterPoint. In the formation transaction, OGE Energy and ArcLight contributed Enogex LLC to Enable Midstream Partners and the Company deconsolidated its previously held investment in Enogex Holdings and acquired an equity interest in Enable Midstream Partners. The Company determined that its contribution of Enogex LLC to Enable Midstream Partners met the requirements of being in substance real estate and was recorded at historical cost. The general partner of Enable Midstream Partners is equally controlled by CenterPoint and OGE Energy, who each have 50 percent of the management rights. Based on the 50/50 management ownership, with neither company having control, effective May 1, 2013, OGE Energy began accounting for its interest in Enable Midstream Partners using the equity method of accounting.
The electric utility segment generates, transmits, distributes and sells electric energy in Oklahoma and western Arkansas. Its operations are conducted through OG&E and are subject to regulation by the OCC, the APSC and the FERC. OG&E was incorporated in 1902 under the laws of the Oklahoma Territory. OG&E is the largest electric utility in Oklahoma and its franchised service territory includes the Fort Smith, Arkansas area. OG&E sold its retail natural gas business in 1928 and is no longer engaged in the natural gas distribution business.
As discussed below, the Company completed a 2-for-1 stock split of the Company's common stock effective July 1, 2013. All share and per share amounts within this Form 10-Q have been retroactively adjusted to reflect the effects of the stock split for all periods presented.
Basis of Presentation
The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included herein have been prepared by the Company, without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations; however, the Company believes that the disclosures are adequate to prevent the information presented from being misleading.
In the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary to fairly present the consolidated financial position of the Company at September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the results of its operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 and the results of its cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, have been included and are of a normal recurring nature except as otherwise disclosed.
Due to seasonal fluctuations and other factors, the Company's operating results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2013 or for any future period. The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes thereto should be read in conjunction with the audited Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes thereto included in the Company's 2012 Form 10-K.
Accounting Records
The accounting records of OG&E are maintained in accordance with the Uniform System of Accounts prescribed by the FERC and adopted by the OCC and the APSC. Additionally, OG&E, as a regulated utility, is subject to accounting principles for certain types of rate-regulated activities, which provide that certain actual or anticipated costs that would otherwise be charged to expense can be deferred as regulatory assets, based on the expected recovery from customers in future rates. Likewise, certain actual or anticipated credits that would otherwise reduce expense can be deferred as regulatory liabilities, based on the expected flowback to customers in future rates. Management's expected recovery of deferred costs and flowback of deferred credits generally results from specific decisions by regulators granting such ratemaking treatment.
OG&E records certain actual or anticipated costs and obligations as regulatory assets or liabilities if it is probable, based on regulatory orders or other available evidence, that the cost or obligation will be included in amounts allowable for recovery or refund in future rates.
The following table is a summary of OG&E's regulatory assets and liabilities at:

Management continuously monitors the future recoverability of regulatory assets. When in management's judgment future recovery becomes impaired, the amount of the regulatory asset is adjusted, as appropriate. If OG&E were required to discontinue the application of accounting principles for certain types of rate-regulated activities for some or all of its operations, it could result in writing off the related regulatory assets, which could have significant financial effects.
Use of Estimates
In preparing the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and contingent liabilities at the date of the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the
reporting period. Changes to these assumptions and estimates could have a material effect on the Company's Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. However, the Company believes it has taken reasonable, but conservative, positions where assumptions and estimates are used in order to minimize the negative financial impact to the Company that could result if actual results vary from the assumptions and estimates. In management's opinion, the areas of the Company where the most significant judgment is exercised for all Company segments includes the determination of Pension Plan assumptions, impairment estimates of long-lived assets (including intangible assets), income taxes, contingency reserves, asset retirement obligations and the allowance for uncollectible accounts receivable. For the electric utility segment, the most significant judgment is also exercised in the valuation of regulatory assets and liabilities and unbilled revenues. For the natural gas midstream operations segment, the most significant judgment is also exercised in the valuation of operating revenues, natural gas purchases, purchase and sale contracts, assets and depreciable lives of property, plant and equipment, amortization methodologies related to intangible assets and impairment assessments of goodwill and equity method investments.
Investment in Unconsolidated Affiliate
OGE Energy's investment in Enable Midstream Partners is considered to be a variable interest entity because the owners of the equity at risk in this entity have disproportionate voting rights in relation to their obligations to absorb the entity's expected losses or to receive its expected residual returns. However, OGE Energy is not considered the primary beneficiary of Enable Midstream Partners since it does not have the power to direct the activities of Enable Midstream Partners that are considered most significant to the economic performance of Enable Midstream Partners. As discussed above, OGE Energy accounts for the investment in Enable Midstream Partners using the equity method of accounting. Under the equity method, the investment will be adjusted each period for contributions made, distributions received and the Company's share of the investee's comprehensive income. OGE Energy's maximum exposure to loss related to Enable Midstream Partners is limited to OGE Energy's equity investment in Enable Midstream Partners as presented on the Company's Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet at September 30, 2013. The Company evaluates its equity method investments for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate there is a loss in value of the investment that is other than a temporary decline.
The Company considers distributions received from its unconsolidated affiliates which do not exceed cumulative equity in earnings subsequent to the date of investment to be a return on investment which are classified as operating activities in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. The Company considers distributions received from its unconsolidated affiliates in excess of cumulative equity in earnings subsequent to the date of investment to be a return of investment which are classified as investing activities in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.

Forward Stock Split
On May 16, 2013, the Company's Board of Directors approved a 2-for-1 forward stock split of the Company's common stock, effective July 1, 2013, which entitled each shareholder of record to receive two shares for every one share of Company stock owned by the shareholder. In connection with the stock split, an amendment to the Company's Articles of Incorporation was approved on May 16, 2013 which increased the number of authorized shares of common stock from 225 million to 450 million. All share and per share amounts within this Form 10-Q have been retroactively adjusted to reflect the effects of the stock split for all periods presented.
Reclassifications
As discussed in Note 12, the former natural gas transportation and storage segment and natural gas gathering and processing segment have been combined into the natural gas midstream operations segment and have been restated for all prior periods presented. Effective May 1, 2013, the Company deconsolidated its previously held investment in Enogex Holdings and acquired an equity interest in Enable Midstream Partners.

2. | Accounting Pronouncement
|
In July 2013, the Emerging Issues Task Force issued "Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Operating Loss Carryforward or Tax Credit Carryforward Exists." The new standard requires entities to present an unrecognized tax benefit, or a portion of an unrecognized tax benefit, in the statement of financial position as a reduction to a deferred tax asset for a net operating loss carryforward or a tax credit carryforward, except as follows. To the extent that a net operating loss carryforward or tax credit carryforward at the reporting date is not available under the tax law of the applicable jurisdiction to settle any additional income taxes that would result from the disallowance of a tax position, the unrecognized tax benefit would be presented in the statement of financial position as a liability. The new standard is applicable for all entities that have unrecognized tax benefits when a net operating loss carryforward or a tax credit carryforward exists. The new standard is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2013 and does not require any new financial statement disclosures. This new standard may be applied retrospectively or prospectively with early adoption permitted. The Company retrospectively adopted this new standard effective January 1, 2013.

3. | Investment in Unconsolidated Affiliates and Related Party Transactions |
On March 14, 2013, OGE Energy entered into a Master Formation Agreement with the ArcLight group and CenterPoint Energy, Inc., pursuant to which OGE Energy, the ArcLight Group and CenterPoint Energy, Inc., agreed to form Enable Midstream Partners to own and operate the midstream businesses of OGE Energy and CenterPoint that will initially be structured as a private limited partnership. This transaction closed on May 1, 2013.
Pursuant to the Master Formation Agreement, OGE Energy and the ArcLight group indirectly contributed 100 percent of the equity interests in Enogex LLC to Enable Midstream Partners. The Company determined that its contribution of Enogex LLC to Enable Midstream Partners met the requirements of being in substance real estate and was recorded at historical cost. Enogex LLC is a provider of integrated natural gas midstream services. Enogex LLC is engaged in the business of gathering, processing, transporting and storing natural gas. Most of Enogex LLC's natural gas gathering, processing, transportation and storage assets are strategically located in the Arkoma and Anadarko basins of Oklahoma and the Texas Panhandle. CenterPoint Energy Field Services, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and, prior to the closing of the transaction on May 1, 2013, a wholly owned subsidiary of CenterPoint, that provides natural gas gathering and processing services for certain natural gas fields in the Mid-continent region of the United States, was converted into a Delaware limited partnership that became Enable Midstream Partners. CenterPoint contributed to Enable Midstream Partners its equity interests in each of (i) CenterPoint Energy Gas Transmission Company, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company that is an interstate pipeline that provides natural gas transportation, storage and pipeline services to customers principally in Arkansas, Louisiana, Oklahoma and Texas, (ii) MRT, a Delaware limited liability company that is an interstate pipeline that provides natural gas transportation, storage and pipeline services to customers principally in Arkansas, Illinois and Missouri and (iii) certain of its other midstream subsidiaries and caused its subsidiary CenterPoint Energy Southeastern Pipelines Holding, LLC to contribute a 24.95 percent interest in Southeast Supply Header, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company. CenterPoint indirectly owned a 50 percent interest in Southeast Supply Header, LLC, which owns a 1.0 billion cubic feet per day, 274-mile interstate pipeline that runs from the Perryville Hub in Louisiana to Coden, Alabama.
Immediately prior to closing, on May 1, 2013, the ArcLight group contributed $107.0 million and OGE Energy contributed $9.1 million to Enogex LLC in order to pay down short-term debt. At September 30, 2013, OGE Energy, through its wholly owned subsidiary OGE Holdings, holds 28.5 percent of the limited partners interests in Enable Midstream Partners.
CenterPoint has certain put rights, and Enable Midstream Partners has certain call rights, exercisable with respect to any interest in Southeast Supply Header, LLC retained by CenterPoint following the formation of Enable Midstream Partners, under which CenterPoint would contribute to Enable Midstream Partners CenterPoint's retained interest in Southeast Supply Header, LLC at a price equal to the fair market value of such interest at the time the put right or call right is exercised. If CenterPoint were to exercise such put right or Enable Midstream Partners were to exercise such call right, CenterPoint's retained interest in Southeast Supply Header, LLC would be contributed to Enable Midstream Partners in exchange for consideration consisting of a specified number of limited partnership units and, subject to certain restrictions, a cash payment, payable either from CenterPoint to Enable Midstream Partners or from Enable Midstream Partners to CenterPoint, in an amount such that the total consideration exchanged is equal in value to the fair market value of the contributed interest in Southeast Supply Header, LLC.
The general partner of Enable Midstream Partners is equally controlled by CenterPoint and OGE Energy, who each have 50 percent of the management rights. CenterPoint and OGE Energy also own a 40 percent and 60 percent interest, respectively, in any incentive distribution rights to be held by the general partner of Enable Midstream Partners following an initial public
offering of Enable Midstream Partners. In addition, for a period of time, the ArcLight group will have certain protective rights and approval rights over certain material activities of Enable Midstream Partners, including material increases in capital expenditures and certain equity issuances, entering into transactions with related parties and acquiring, pledging or disposing of certain material assets. The general partner of Enable Midstream Partners will initially be governed by a board made up of an equal number of representatives designated by each of CenterPoint Energy, Inc. and OGE Energy. Based on the 50/50 management ownership, with neither company having control, effective May 1, 2013, OGE Energy deconsolidated its interest in Enogex Holdings LLC and began accounting for its interest in Enable Midstream Partners using the equity method of accounting.
Pursuant to a Registration Rights Agreement dated as of May 1, 2013, OGE Energy and CenterPoint Energy, Inc. agreed to initiate the process for the sale of an equity interest in Enable Midstream Partners in an initial public offering. Enable Midstream Partners has agreed to file a registration statement for the initial public offering no later than May 1, 2014 and, subject to limited exceptions, consummate the initial public offering within 180 days of the filing of the registration statement. The Company currently expects that Enable Midstream Partners will file a registration statement during the fourth quarter of 2013. The initial public offering is subject to market conditions and OGE Energy can give no assurances that the initial public offering will be consummated.
Effective May 1, 2013, Enable Midstream Partners entered into a $1.4 billion, five-year senior unsecured revolving credit facility in accordance with the terms of the Master Formation Agreement and Enogex LLC's $400 million revolving credit facility was terminated.
Subject to the exceptions provided below, pursuant to the terms of an Omnibus Agreement dated as of May 1, 2013 among OGE Energy, the ArcLight group and CenterPoint Energy, Inc., each of OGE Energy and CenterPoint Energy, Inc. will be required to hold or otherwise conduct all of its respective Midstream Operations (as defined below) located within the United States in Enable Midstream Partners. This restriction will cease to apply to both OGE Energy and CenterPoint Energy, Inc. as soon as either OGE Energy or CenterPoint Energy, Inc. ceases to hold (i) any interest in the general partner of Enable Midstream Partners or (ii) at least 20 percent of the limited partner interests of Enable Midstream Partners. "Midstream Operations" generally means, subject to certain exceptions, the gathering, compression, treatment, processing, blending, transportation, storage, isomerization and fractionation of crude oil and natural gas, its associated production water and enhanced recovery materials such as carbon dioxide, and its respective constituents and the following products: methane, NGLs (Y-grade, ethane, propane, normal butane, isobutane and natural gasoline), condensate, and refined products and distillates (gasoline, refined product blendstocks, olefins, naphtha, aviation fuels, diesel, heating oil, kerosene, jet fuels, fuel oil, residual fuel oil, heavy oil, bunker fuel, cokes, and asphalts), to the extent such activities are located within the United States.
In addition, if OGE Energy or CenterPoint Energy, Inc. acquires any assets or equity of any person engaged in Midstream Operations with a value in excess of $50 million (or $100 million in the aggregate with such party's other acquired Midstream Operations that have not been offered to Enable Midstream Partners), the acquiring party will be required to offer Enable Midstream Partners the opportunity to acquire such assets or equity for such value; provided, that the acquiring party will not be obligated to offer any such assets or equity to Enable Midstream Partners if the acquiring party intends to cease using them in Midstream Operations within 12 months. If Enable Midstream Partners does not exercise its option, then the acquiring party will be free to retain and operate such Midstream Operations; provided, however, that if the fair market value of such Midstream Operations is greater than 66 2/3 percent of the fair market value of all of the assets being acquired in such transaction, then the acquiring party will be required to dispose of such Midstream Operations within 24 months.
As long as the ArcLight group has certain protective rights, the ArcLight group will be prohibited from pursuing any transaction independently from Enable Midstream Partners (i) if the ArcLight group's consent is required for Enable Midstream Partners to pursue such transaction and (ii) the ArcLight group affirmatively votes not to consent to such transaction.
On May 1, 2013, OGE Energy, OGE Holdings and Enable Midstream Partners entered into a Seconding Agreement. During the term of the Seconding Agreement, OGE Holdings' employees will continue to perform services for Enable Midstream Partners and its subsidiaries.
Distributions received from Enable Midstream Partners were $17.4 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013.
Related Party Transactions
As OGE Energy's interest in Enogex Holdings was deconsolidated on May 1, 2013, operating costs charged and related party transactions between the Company and its affiliate, Enable Midstream Partners, after May 1, 2013, which were previously eliminated in consolidation, are discussed below.
OGE Energy charged operating costs to Enogex Holdings/Enable Midstream Partners of $6.6 million and $10.9 million during the three and five months ended September 30, 2013, respectively. OGE Energy charges operating costs to its subsidiaries and unconsolidated affiliates based on several factors. Operating costs directly related to specific subsidiaries and unconsolidated affiliates are assigned to those subsidiaries and unconsolidated affiliates. Where more than one subsidiary or unconsolidated affiliate benefits from certain expenditures, the costs are shared between those subsidiaries and unconsolidated affiliates receiving the benefits. Operating costs incurred for the benefit of all subsidiaries and unconsolidated affiliates are allocated among the subsidiaries and unconsolidated affiliates, either as overhead based primarily on labor costs or using the "Distrigas" method. The Distrigas method is a three-factor formula that uses an equal weighting of payroll, net operating revenues and gross property, plant and equipment. OGE Energy adopted the Distrigas method in January 1996 as a result of a recommendation by the OCC Staff. OGE Energy believes this method provides a reasonable basis for allocating common expenses.

Enable Midstream Partners concluded that the formation of Enable Midstream Partners was considered a business combination, and CenterPoint Midstream was the acquirer of Enogex Holdings for accounting purposes. Under this method, the fair value of the consideration paid by CenterPoint Midstream for Enogex Holdings is allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed on May 1, 2013 based on their fair value. Enogex Holdings' assets, liabilities and equity have accordingly been adjusted to estimated fair value as of May 1, 2013, resulting in an increase to equity of $2.2 billion. Determining the fair value of certain
assets and liabilities assumed is judgmental in nature and often involves the use of significant estimates and assumptions. Enable Midstream Partners utilized appraisers to assist in the determination of fair value of certain assets.
OGE Energy recorded equity in earnings of unconsolidated affiliates of $46.0 million, and $64.5 million for the three and five months ended September 30, 2013, respectively. Equity in earnings of unconsolidated affiliates includes OGE Energy's 28.5 percent share of Enable Midstream Partners earnings adjusted for the amortization of the basis difference of OGE Energy's original investment in Enogex and its underlying equity in net assets of Enable Midstream, based on historical cost as of May 1, 2013. The basis difference is being amortized over approximately 30 years, the average life of the assets to which the basis difference is attributed. Equity in earnings of unconsolidated affiliates is also adjusted for the elimination of the Enogex Holdings fair value adjustments described above.

4. | Fair Value Measurements
|
The classification of the Company's fair value measurements requires judgment regarding the degree to which market data is observable or corroborated by observable market data. GAAP establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value based on observable and unobservable data. The hierarchy categorizes the inputs into three levels, with the highest priority given to quoted prices in active markets for identical unrestricted assets or liabilities (Level 1) and the lowest priority given to unobservable inputs (Level 3). Financial assets and liabilities are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The three levels defined in the fair value hierarchy and examples of each are as follows:
Level 1 inputs are quoted prices in active markets for identical unrestricted assets or liabilities that are accessible at the measurement date. Instruments classified as Level 1 include natural gas futures, swaps and options transactions for contracts traded on the NYMEX and settled through a NYMEX clearing broker.
Level 2 inputs are inputs other than quoted prices in active markets included within Level 1 that are either directly or indirectly observable at the reporting date for the asset or liability for substantially the full term of the asset or liability. Level 2 inputs include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets and quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active. Instruments classified as Level 2 include over-the-counter NYMEX natural gas swaps, natural gas basis swaps and natural gas purchase and sales transactions in markets such that the pricing is closely related to the NYMEX pricing.
Level 3 inputs are prices or valuation techniques for the asset or liability that require inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable (i.e., supported by little or no market activity). Unobservable inputs reflect the reporting entity's own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability (including assumptions about risk).
The Company utilizes the market approach in determining the fair value of its derivative positions by using either NYMEX published market prices, independent broker pricing data or broker/dealer valuations. The valuations of derivatives with pricing based on NYMEX published market prices may be considered Level 1 if they are settled through a NYMEX clearing broker account with daily margining. Over-the-counter derivatives with NYMEX based prices are considered Level 2 due to the impact of counterparty credit risk. Valuations based on independent broker pricing or broker/dealer valuations may be classified as Level 2 only to the extent they may be validated by an additional source of independent market data for an identical or closely related active market. In certain less liquid markets or for longer-term contracts, forward prices are not as readily available. In these circumstances, contracts are valued using internally developed methodologies that consider historical relationships among various quoted prices in active markets that result in management's best estimate of fair value. These contracts are classified as Level 3.
The impact to the fair value of derivatives due to credit risk is calculated using the probability of default based on Standard & Poor's Ratings Services and/or internally generated ratings. The fair value of derivative assets is adjusted for credit risk. The fair value of derivative liabilities is adjusted for credit risk only if the impact is deemed material.
Contracts with Master Netting Arrangements
Fair value amounts recognized for forward, interest rate swap, option and other conditional or exchange contracts executed with the same counterparty under a master netting arrangement may be offset. The reporting entity's choice to offset or not must be applied consistently. A master netting arrangement exists if the reporting entity has multiple contracts, whether for the same type of conditional or exchange contract or for different types of contracts, with a single counterparty that are subject to a contractual agreement that provides for the net settlement of all contracts through a single payment in a single currency in the event of default on or termination of any one contract. Offsetting the fair values recognized for forward, interest rate swap, option and other conditional or exchange contracts outstanding with a single counterparty results in the net fair value of the transactions being reported as an asset or a liability in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Company has presented the fair values of its derivative contracts under master netting agreements using a net fair value presentation.
The Company had no material financial instruments measured at fair value on a recurring basis at September 30, 2013. The following table summarizes the Company's assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis at December 31, 2012 as well as presents the Company's commodity contracts fair value included in the Company's Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet at December 31, 2012. The Company adopted the FASB's accounting guidance requiring additional disclosures for balance sheet offsetting of assets and liabilities effective January 1, 2013. The Company posted $0.2 million of collateral at December 31, 2012 which has been included within netting adjustments in the table below. The Company held no collateral at December 31, 2012. The Company has offset all amounts subject to master netting agreements in the Company's Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet at December 31, 2012. The Company held no Level 3 investments at December 31, 2012.

5. | Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities |
The Company is exposed to certain risks relating to its ongoing business operations. The primary risk managed using derivatives instruments is interest rate risk. The Company is also exposed to credit risk in its business operations.
Interest Rate Risk
The Company's exposure to changes in interest rates primarily relates to short-term variable-rate debt and commercial paper. The Company manages its interest rate exposure by monitoring and limiting the effects of market changes in interest rates. The Company utilizes interest rate derivatives to alter interest rate exposure in an attempt to reduce the effects of these changes. Interest rate derivatives are used solely to modify interest rate exposure and not to modify the overall leverage of the debt portfolio.
Credit Risk
The Company is exposed to certain credit risks relating to its ongoing business operations. Credit risk includes the risk that counterparties that owe the Company money or energy will breach their obligations. If the counterparties to these arrangements fail to perform, the Company may be forced to enter into alternative arrangements. In that event, the Company's financial results could be adversely affected and the Company could incur losses.
Cash Flow Hedges
For derivatives that are designated and qualify as a cash flow hedge, the effective portion of the change in fair value of the derivative instrument is reported as a component of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss) and recognized into earnings in the same period during which the hedged transaction affects earnings. The ineffective portion of a derivative's change in fair value or hedge components excluded from the assessment of effectiveness is recognized currently in earnings. The Company measures the ineffectiveness of commodity cash flow hedges using the change in fair value method whereby the change in the expected future cash flows designated as the hedge transaction are compared to the change in fair value of the hedging instrument. Forecasted transactions, which are designated as the hedged transaction in a cash flow hedge, are regularly evaluated to assess whether they continue to be probable of occurring. If the forecasted transactions are no longer probable of occurring, hedge accounting will cease on a prospective basis and all future changes in the fair value of the derivative will be recognized directly in earnings.
The Company previously designated as cash flow hedges derivatives for OGE Holdings' NGLs volumes and corresponding keep-whole natural gas resulting from its natural gas processing contracts (processing hedges) and natural gas positions resulting from its natural gas gathering and processing operations and natural gas transportation and storage operations (operational gas
hedges). The Company also previously designated as cash flow hedges certain derivatives for certain natural gas storage inventory positions. Due to the deconsolidation effective May 1, 2013, the Company had no material instruments designated as cash flow hedges at September 30, 2013.
Fair Value Hedges
For derivative instruments that are designated and qualify as a fair value hedge, the gain or loss on the derivative as well as the offsetting loss or gain on the hedged item attributable to the hedge risk are recognized currently in earnings. The Company includes the gain or loss on the hedged items in Operating Revenues as the offsetting loss or gain on the related hedging derivative.
At September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the Company had no derivative instruments that were designated as fair value hedges.
Derivatives Not Designated as Hedging Instruments
Derivative instruments not designated as hedging instruments are utilized in OGE Holdings' asset management activities. For derivative instruments not designated as hedging instruments, the gain or loss on the derivative is recognized currently in earnings.
At September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the Company had no material derivative instruments that were not designated as hedging instruments.
Balance Sheet Presentation Related to Derivative Instruments

The Company has issued new shares to satisfy stock option exercises, restricted stock grants and payouts of earned performance units. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, there were 292 shares forfeited and 549,228 shares of new common stock issued, respectively, pursuant to the Company's stock incentive plans related to exercised stock options, restricted stock grants (net of forfeitures) and payouts of earned performance units. During the nine months ended September 30, 2013, there were 125,264 of treasury stock shares issued. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, there were 4,038 shares and 10,512 shares of restricted stock, respectively, returned to the Company to satisfy tax liabilities. The Company received $1.4 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2013 related to exercised stock options. The Company did not realize an income tax benefit for the tax deductions from the exercised stock options during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 due to the Company being in a tax net operating loss position in 2013.
As a result of the formation of Enable Midstream Partners on May 1, 2013, 50 percent of OGE Holdings' 2013 performance unit grants that were previously based on earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization were converted to stock-based compensation. The performance unit grants converted totaled 91,390, which is comprised of 45,596 total shareholder return performance units with a $25.89 grant date fair value and 45,794 earnings per share performance units with a $26.73 grant date fair value. As a result of a modification to the 2012 performance unit grants, 50 percent of OGE Holdings' 2012 performance unit grants that were previously based on earnings before interest, taxes and depreciation and amortization were converted to stock-based compensation. The performance unit grants converted totaled 82,400 , which is comprised of 41,288 total shareholder return performance units with a $47.71 grant date fair value and 41,112 earnings per share performance units with a $34.94 grant date fair value. The amount of these performance units were adjusted for the effects of the stock split. The impact of the modification of the performance unit grants on stock-based compensation expense for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 was not material.
The Company files consolidated income tax returns in the U.S. Federal jurisdiction and various state jurisdictions. With few exceptions, the Company is no longer subject to U.S. Federal tax examinations by tax authorities for years prior to 2010 or state and local tax examinations by tax authorities for years prior to 2005. Income taxes are generally allocated to each company in the affiliated group based on its stand-alone taxable income or loss. Federal investment tax credits previously claimed on electric utility property have been deferred and are being amortized to income over the life of the related property. OG&E continues to amortize its Federal investment tax credits on a ratable basis throughout the year. OG&E earns both Federal and Oklahoma state tax credits associated with production from its wind farms and earns Oklahoma state tax credits associated with its investments in electric generating facilities which further reduce the Company's effective tax rate.
As previously reported in the Company's 2012 Form 10-K, in January 2013, OG&E determined that a portion of certain Oklahoma investment tax credits previously recognized but not yet utilized may not be available for utilization in future years. During the first quarter of 2013, OG&E recorded a reserve of $7.8 million ($5.1 million after tax) related to a portion of the Oklahoma investment tax credits generated in years prior to 2013 but not yet utilized due to management's determination that it is more likely than not that it will be unable to utilize these credits.
As a result of acquiring an equity interest in Enable Midstream Partners, the Company has a lower effective tax rate in conjunction with the formation of Enable Midstream Partners in states with lower state tax rates, which reduced income tax expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 by $3.9 million. In addition, deferred tax adjustments related to the Company's deconsolidation of Enogex Holdings increased income tax expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 by $3.9 million.
Acquisition of the equity interest in Enable Midstream Partners on May 1, 2013, is also expected to increase the Company's utilization of net operating loss carryforwards throughout 2013. The Company now projects utilization of approximately $122.0 million of Federal net operating loss carryforwards in 2013. State net operating loss utilization is expected to begin in 2014.
In the third quarter of 2013, the Company recognized a $17.1 million reduction in deferred state income taxes, associated with a remeasurement of the accumulated deferred taxes related to the formation of Enable Midstream Partners, LP.
Forward Stock Split
On May 16, 2013, the Company's Board of Directors approved a 2-for-1 forward stock split of the Company's common stock, effective July 1, 2013, which entitled each shareholder of record to receive two shares for every one share of Company stock owned by the shareholder. In connection with the stock split, an amendment to the Company's Articles of Incorporation was approved on May 16, 2013 which increased the number of authorized shares of common stock from 225 million to 450 million. All share and per share amounts within this Form 10-Q have been retroactively adjusted to reflect the effects of the stock split for all periods presented.
Automatic Dividend Reinvestment and Stock Purchase Plan
The Company issued 105,595 shares and 304,385 shares, respectively, of common stock under its Automatic Dividend Reinvestment and Stock Purchase Plan during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 and received proceeds of $4.0 million and $10.4 million, respectively. The Company may, from time to time, issue additional shares under its Automatic Dividend Reinvestment and Stock Purchase Plan to fund capital requirements or working capital needs. At September 30, 2013, there were 3,940,603 shares of unissued common stock reserved for issuance under the Company's Automatic Dividend Reinvestment and Stock Purchase Plan.
Earnings Per Share
Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing net income attributable to OGE Energy by the weighted average number of the Company's common shares outstanding during the period. In the calculation of diluted earnings per share, weighted average shares outstanding are increased for additional shares that would be outstanding if potentially dilutive securities were converted to common stock. Potentially dilutive securities for the Company consist of performance units. Basic and diluted earnings per share for the Company were calculated as follows:

OG&E has tax-exempt pollution control bonds with optional redemption provisions that allow the holders to request repayment of the bonds on any business day. The bonds, which can be tendered at the option of the holder during the next 12 months, are as follows:
|
| | | | | | |
SERIES | DATE DUE | AMOUNT |
| | | | (In millions) |
0.18% | - | 0.34% | Garfield Industrial Authority, January 1, 2025 | $ | 47.0 |
|
0.12% | - | 0.39% | Muskogee Industrial Authority, January 1, 2025 | 32.4 |
|
0.11% | - | 0.30% | Muskogee Industrial Authority, June 1, 2027 | 56.0 |
|
Total (redeemable during next 12 months) | $ | 135.4 |
|
All of these bonds are subject to an optional tender at the request of the holders, at 100 percent of the principal amount, together with accrued and unpaid interest to the date of purchase. The bond holders, on any business day, can request repayment of the bond by delivering an irrevocable notice to the tender agent stating the principal amount of the bond, payment instructions for the purchase price and the business day the bond is to be purchased. The repayment option may only be exercised by the holder of a bond for the principal amount. When a tender notice has been received by the trustee, a third party remarketing agent for the bonds will attempt to remarket any bonds tendered for purchase. This process occurs once per week. Since the original issuance of these series of bonds in 1995 and 1997, the remarketing agent has successfully remarketed all tendered bonds. If the remarketing agent is unable to remarket any such bonds, OG&E is obligated to repurchase such unremarketed bonds. As OG&E has both the intent and ability to refinance the bonds on a long-term basis and such ability is supported by an ability to consummate the refinancing, the bonds are classified as long-term debt in the Company's Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. OG&E believes that it has sufficient liquidity to meet these obligations.
Issuance of Long-Term Debt
On May 8, 2013, OG&E issued $250 million of 3.9% senior notes due May 1, 2043. The proceeds from the issuance were added to OG&E's general funds and were used to repay short-term debt, fund capital expenditures, general corporate expenses and for working capital purposes. OG&E expects to issue additional long-term debt from time to time when market conditions are favorable and when the need arises.

10. | Short-Term Debt and Credit Facilities
|
The Company borrows on a short-term basis, as necessary, by the issuance of commercial paper and by borrowings under its revolving credit agreements. The short-term debt balance was $447.0 million and $430.9 million at September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively. The following table provides information regarding the Company's revolving credit agreements at September 30, 2013.

| 0.30 | % | | | |
| |
(A) | Includes direct borrowings under the revolving credit agreements, commercial paper borrowings and letters of credit at September 30, 2013. |
| |
(B) | This bank facility is available to back up OGE Energy's commercial paper borrowings and to provide revolving credit borrowings. This bank facility can also be used as a letter of credit facility. |
| |
(C) | This bank facility is available to back up OG&E's commercial paper borrowings and to provide revolving credit borrowings. This bank facility can also be used as a letter of credit facility. |
| |
(D) | Effective May 1, 2013, Enable Midstream Partners entered into a $1.4 billion, five-year senior unsecured revolving credit facility in accordance with the terms of the Master Formation Agreement and Enogex LLC's $400 million revolving credit facility was terminated. |
| |
(E) | Represents the weighted-average interest rate for the outstanding borrowings under the revolving credit agreements, commercial paper borrowings and letters of credit. |
| |
(F) | In December 2011, the Company and OG&E entered into unsecured five-year revolving credit agreements to total in the aggregate $1,150.0 million ($750 million for the Company and $400 million for OG&E). Each of the credit facilities contain an option, which may be exercised up to two times, to extend the term for an additional year, subject to consent of a specified percentage of the lenders. Effective July 29, 2013, the Company and OG&E utilized one of these one-year extensions, and received consent from all of the lenders, to extend the maturity of their credit agreements to December 13, 2017. |
The Company's ability to access the commercial paper market could be adversely impacted by a credit ratings downgrade or major market disruptions. Pricing grids associated with the Company's credit facilities could cause annual fees and borrowing rates to increase if an adverse ratings impact occurs. The impact of any future downgrade could include an increase in the costs of the Company's short-term borrowings, but a reduction in the Company's credit ratings would not result in any defaults or accelerations. Any future downgrade could also lead to higher long-term borrowing costs and, if below investment grade, would require the Company to post cash collateral or letters of credit.
OG&E must obtain regulatory approval from the FERC in order to borrow on a short-term basis. OG&E has the necessary regulatory approvals to incur up to $800 million in short-term borrowings at any one time for a two-year period beginning January 1, 2013 and ending December 31, 2014.

12. | Report of Business Segments |
Prior to May 1, 2013, the Company's business was divided into three segments as follows: (i) electric utility, which is engaged in the generation, transmission, distribution and sale of electric energy, (ii) natural gas transportation and storage and (iii) natural gas gathering and processing. On March 14, 2013, OGE Energy entered into a Master Formation Agreement with the ArcLight group and CenterPoint Energy, Inc., pursuant to which OGE Energy, the ArcLight Group and CenterPoint Energy, Inc., agreed to form Enable Midstream Partners to own and operate the midstream businesses of OGE Energy and CenterPoint that will initially be structured as a private limited partnership. As a result, effective May 1, 2013, OGE Energy deconsolidated its interest in Enogex Holdings LLC and began accounting for its interest in Enable Midstream Partners using the equity method of accounting. The Company's business is now divided into two segments for financial reporting purposes as follows: (i) electric utility and (ii) natural gas midstream operations. The former natural gas transportation and storage segment and natural gas gathering and processing segment have been combined into the natural gas midstream operations segment and have been restated for all prior periods presented. Equity in earnings of unconsolidated affiliates in the natural gas midstream operations segment includes OGE Energy's equity interest in Enable Midstream Partners from May 1, 2013 through September 30, 2013. Other than equity in earnings of unconsolidated affiliates, all amounts for the natural gas midstream operations segment are through April 30, 2013. Investment in unconsolidated affiliates in the natural gas midstream operations segment represents OGE Energy's investment in Enable Midstream Partners at September 30, 2013. Other Operations primarily includes the operations of the holding company. Intersegment revenues are recorded at prices comparable to those of unaffiliated customers and are affected by regulatory considerations. In reviewing its segment operating results, the Company focuses on operating income as its measure of segment profit and loss, and, therefore, has presented this information below. The following tables summarize the results of the Company's business segments during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012.
