CORPORATEAND FINANCIAL REWEW y x EARNINGS AND DIVIDENDS Earnings per share of common stock in 1982 x were $2.32, which includes 41 cents per common share from a retail electric rate increase in effect, subject to refund, at year-end. Earnings per common 1 share in 1981 were $2.19, after restatement to reflect the effect on earnings of N an April 1982 rate order from The Public Service Commission ofSouth Carolina s (PSC). In that order, the PSC approved 76% of the Company's February 1981 request for increased retail electric rates. Earnings available for common stock in 1982 were $79.8 million, of which i $14.2 million was related to the pending retail electric rate request and is there-A fore subject to refund. Earnings available for common stock in 1982 were up ^N 29% over the $61.6 million earned in 1981, and provided an 11.9% return on common equity, up from 11.3 % in 1981. The improvement in earnings N during 1982 was due primarily to the retail electric rate increase filed inJuly 1982 and phased into effect. subject to refund, beginning in August 1982. InJanuary 1983 the Company announced a $15 million reduction in the $101.2 million retail electric rate increase request filed inJuly 1982. The reduc-tion was made possible primarily by improved conditions in the financial mar-kets sinceJuly 1982 which have lowered the Company's cost of capital. The Company's 1982 eamings have been adjusted to reflect effects of the reduced rate request. The number of weighted average common shares outstanding during 1982 rose by 22%. The increase stemmed from the public sale of 2.5 million shares in h1 arch, the issuance of 2.6 million shares in April as pan of the acquisition of Carolina Energies, Inc., and the issuance of 1.7 million shares during the year through employee stock purchase plans and the Company's Dividend N Reinvestment and Stock Purchase Plan. At year-end 1982 the Company's y common equity component of total capitalization had improved to 39% from 37% at year-end 1981. Further discussion of the Company's financial condition and operating results for 1982 begins on page 18. Dividends declared on common stock in 1982 totaled $1.92 per share, a 5.5 % increase over 1981. All dividends paid to stockholders by the Company during 1982 represent taxable income for federal income tax purposes except as noted on page 8 under " Dividend Reinvestment Plan'.' InJanuary 1983 the Company's Board of Directors declared a quanerly common stock dividend of 50 cents per share. This is a 4.2 % increase over the previous quarterly div-idend rate. The indicated annual dividend rate increased from $1.92 to $2.00 per common share. The Company's common stock dividend rate has been ( increased in 30 of the last 31 years. The new quanerly dividend will be payable 4 N on April 1,1983 to common stockholders of record on hfarch 10,1983. 3 v.c.sUMMERNUcLEARSTATION On August 6,1982 the Nuclear Regulatory i Commission (NRC) issued an operating license for the V.C. Summer Nuclear i Station. The license allowed the Company to load fuel into the nuclear reactor and begin low-power testing. The Company completed fuel loading one week later and on October 22 staned the plant's nuclear reactor for the first time. On November 12 the NRC issued a full-power operating license for the Summer Station authorizing the Company to increase the plant's power out-put to 50% ofits reactor power. Generation for testing reached that level on December 12. Before the plant may exceed 50% of reactor power, Westing-l1 house Electric Corporation must modify the plant's three steam generators to correct a vibration problem which has caused tube failures in foreign nuclear 4 l
plants withWestinghouse steam generators of the same mod. ' as theCompany's. ce The NRC previously had stated that it considered this pr iblem to be of scEagsygg,Reveme Doisu safety signiEcance. On the basis of recent studies made by Westinghouse, the Company, other utilities and the NRC staff, the Company believes that wne, nCavieFrom Westinghouse has developed a modi 6 cation that will correct the vibration c n.s. problem in the steam generators. Westinghouse is scheduled to begin install-ing the raodiEcation in March 1983. The work will take approximately three months, during which time the nuclear plant will be out of service. Upon f' completion of the work, the Company will resume normal testing procedures essmaec and make whatever additional tests that will be required to insure that the i steam generators are functioning properly. The Company currently expects to place the Summer Stanon mto full-power operanon dunng the summer of 1983. However, due to the uncenainties concerning the plant's steam gener-ators, the Company is unable to predict the exact date that Summer Station will be placed into commercial operation. The Company built Summer Station in conjunction with the South Carolina swewe c Public Service Authority, which is responsible for one-third of the construction gi g 5 3' ' and operating costs and will receive one-third of the plant's output.

If commercial operation were to commence in October 1983, the estimated total completed cost of Summer Station would be approximately $1.3 billion, or $1,459 per kilowatt. The Company's share of the total cost would be approx-imately $858 million. Any delay in commercial operation of Summer Station beyond October 1983 would result in its total cost increasing by approximately $11.5 million per month, of which the Company's share would be approxi-mately $7.7 million. MERGER COMPLETED In April 1982 the shareholders of Carolina Energies, Inc. (CEI) approved the merger of their company into a wholly-owned subsid-iary of SCE&G. This acquisition cost approximately $69.4 million. Cash pay-ments totaled $26.6 million, and approximately 2.6 million shares of SCE&G A Fuelfor lectne nd common stock, valued at $42.8 million, were issued to former CEI stockholders. .8 Gas Purchased for Resale The merger nearly doubled the Company's natural gas service area, which now o 7.y7ance,ciuoinoconstructoni : covers 80% of South Carolina. 5 E nT""S*"**'""*"c' CEI is a holding company which owns six subsidiaries that supply natural gas, propane and energy-related services to residenu,al, commercial and indus-Q'.cygo"ggoa n ow.o nosiorinveo.no trial customers primarily in the rural areas of northern and eastern South Retained Eanwngs Carolina.

Petitions for rehearing of the decision Eled by CPC and the customers have been denied. Currently the price of competitive fuels generally is below the ceiling prices ~ established by the order.

CONSTRUCnON AND FINANCING PROGRAM The Company's 1982 construc- 'c&a:Izatin tion cash expenditures totaled $154 million, up 8% over 1981. The 1982 figure includes $90 million for the V.C. Summer Nuclear Station and $3 million in nuclear fuel purchases. The acquisition of CEI cost about $69 million. An additional $101 million was needed to retire maturing obligations and meet j cash sinking fund requirements. This brought total 1982 cash requirements of j the Company and its subsidiaries to $324 million (see Chan 2). Total cash j requirements for 1983 are estimated to be S210 million. This includes $181 so million for construction, $18 million for nuclear fuel purchases and $11 million for maturing obligations and sinking fund requirements. l During 1982 $65 million, or 20% of total cash requirements of the Com-pany and its subsidiaries was generated intemally (see Chan 2). The balance came from the sale oflong and shon-term debt, preferred stock and common stock. In March the Company sold 2.5 million shares ofcommon stock to the j public at a price of $16 per share. Net proceeds to the Company were $38.6 i 40 million. In April the Company sold 250,000 shares of 13.88% preferred stock at a price of $100 per share. Net proceeds to the Company from this sale were $24.9 million. The Company raised an additional $25 million in May through : 20 the sale of 15-5 /8% first mongage bonds. In order to obtain long-term funds l at the lowest cost, the Company's Finance N.V. subsidiary sold $60 million of l 15-1/2% guaranteed notes in Aprilin the European market.

Total eoapresge,,euting aatjoy. announced investment in new and expanded industrial facilities was $2.4 bil-lion, a slight increase over the previous record set in 1981. These new invest-ments are expected to create about 11,600 new jobs. About $1.9 billion, or ~. ' me-79%, of these investments will occur in the Company's electric or natural gas I service area, creating about 7,100 new jobs. j g-~ xu The economic base in the Company's service area continues to diversify. l N During the decade ended in 1982, industries announced investments of more i F ~d-than $12.8 billion in new and existing facilities in South Carolina. The Com-g pany's service area (excluding the area served by CEI) received about 47 % of p ., Y that growth. This impressive record ofinvestment by new and existing industry [C reflects, among other attractive assets, the state's excellent business climate and F adequate, reliable sources ofelectricity and natural gas for industrial growth and -{ expansion. The Company con:inues to work closely with state and local devel- ,, J opment groups to bring new industry to South Carolina. STOCKNOLDERS At December 31,1982 there were 63,715 holders of record of the Company's common stock, a 7 % increase from year-end 1981.

In an effort to restrain the growth of payroll costs, the Company instituted a hiring freeze in August 1982 that remains in effect. Except for critical staffing needs, new hires have been kept at a minimum. Justified replacements have been filled primarily through transfers within the Company. An early retirement program was offered in December 1982 to employees meeting certain age and service requirements. Qualified employees must decide by February 28,1983 whether or not they will retire. Approximately 6.5% of the Company's employees qualify for the program.

Since 1979 approximately 32,000 low-income, elderly and handicapped customers have received some $4.5 mil-lion in federal energy assistance funds to help pay their energy bills. Much of this assistance resulted from personal home visits and intervention by the {? depanment's representatives. The department's activities also foster a closer t' working relationship between the Company and federal and state agencies, the Govemor's office, and community organizations dedicated to helping the needy. During 1982 concerned Company employees established an Employee Good Neighbor Fund. This Fund enables employees to make contributions of money, food and clothing that are used to help needy citizens in the Company's service area. Membership in the Fund is voluntary and administration of the n' Fund is handled by a board of directors elected by the membership. At year-end 1982 more than 1,250 Company employees had participated in the Fund with combined pledges ofapproximately S50,000 annually. The Fund provided such vital necessities as food, medicine, clothing and shelter to more than 150 families in emergency situations during 1982. 9

The 1982 peak occurred on August 25, when customer demand reached 2,463 megawatts (see Chan 9). This peak was 3.7 % lower than the 1981 peak and represented the first year-to-year decline in SCE&G's summer territorial peak demand. The lack of any sustained period of hot weather during the summer and the economic recession's effect on 's7dr'ces orfiectric ceneration industrial usage of electricity contributed to the decline. The territorial peak demand had grown at an average annual rate of 5.1% from 1976 to 1981. The Company bases its plans for the construction of new electric gener-wo ating facilities on the expected growth in the annual territorial peak demand. Current Company projections estimate that peak demand will grow at an @7 8Q[ 1 average annual rate of 3.1% through 1987.

MANAGEMENTREPORT The Management of South Carolina Electric & Gas Company is responsible for the preparation and integrity of the financial data induded in the accom-panying Consolidated Financial Statements. These statements have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles as applicable to a regulated utility. In situations that prevent exact accounting measurements, management has used informed judgments and estimates in establishing accounting and reponing practices for such items. Financial information presented elsewhere in this Annual Repon is consistent with these financial statements. The Company maintains and relies upon a system ofinternal accounting controls which is designed to provide reasonable assurance that all trans-actions are properly recorded in the books and records and that assets are protected from unauthorized use. Tb degree ofintemal accounting control is based upon the determination of the optimum balance between the cost incurred and the benefits to be derived. The system ofintemal accounting controls is supponed by written policies and guidelines and is complemented by a staff ofintemal auditors who conduct comprehensive internal audits and by the selection, training and desclopment of professional financial managers. The Board of Directors, through an Audit Committee composed of non-employee directors, provides oversight for the preparatien of these financial statements. The Audit Committee meets periodically with internal and independent auditors and representatives of management to review their activities and responsibilities. The internal and independent auditors have fall and free access to the Committee to discuss internal accounting control, auditing and financial reponing matters. The Company engaged Deloitte Haskins & Sells as independent auditors to repon as to the fair presentation of management's Consolidated Financial Statements and their report appears on page 33 in this Annual Repon. Their examination is conducted in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards and is based upon their performing procedures which include maintaming an understanding of the Company's system ofinternal accounting control and such tests and other auditing procedures as they believe to be necessary. f/ h W/ - b/hW W.

PUBUC POWER 1882-1982 A ACENTURYOF:sEiSERVICE Completing its 40th year of opera-tion. Santee Cooper joins the American Public Power Association in celebrating 100 years of consumerewned power productior; in this country. The electric light bulb - itself a product of the ingenuity, persistence. and resourcefulness of Thomas Alva Edison - has become the most used symbol for electric power and the electric power industry. Edison's light bulb has also evolved as an equally universal symbol for ideas. creative thinking, and what we call resourcefulness. Santee Cooper is proud of its resourcefulness as an electric utility and its role in the first century of service provided by America's public owned utilities. Its board and management are commit-ted to provide the resources necessary to continue the same quality and reliability of service which has helped Santee Cooper become one of America's most re-sourceful electric utilities. Santee Cooper is a major source of reliable, economic electric power for 35 (J South Carolina's 46 counties. COVER PHOTO A lack-in-the-Pulpit. Arisaema triphyllum, plant grows in a delicate environment - part of the 2.400 acre site purchased by Santee Cooper for construction of a new generating station in the 1990's. Pampering that en-vironment and carefully planning the con-struction that will occur there in the nett decade is part of the resourcefulness employed by the company in meeting the growing demands for power.
