Background

CenterPoint Energy Service Company, LLC (CESC or the Company) is an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of CenterPoint Energy, Inc. (CenterPoint Energy). CESC was formed on January 1, 2004, and certain assets were transferred to CESC from the parent company upon formation of CESC. CESC is the service company for CenterPoint Energy and its subsidiaries. CESC provides administrative and service functions involving system-wide coordination, strategy and compliance functions to CenterPoint Energy and its subsidiaries pursuant to service agreements.
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

(a)Use of Estimates

The preparation of these unaudited financial statements in conformity with the accounting regulations of the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 18, Part 201, of the Uniform System of Accounts, promulgated by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

(b)Long Lived Assets and Intangibles Subject to Amortization

The Company records property, plant and equipment at historical cost and expenses repair and maintenance costs as incurred.

The Company periodically evaluates long-lived assets, including property, plant and equipment, and specifically identifiable intangibles subject to amortization, when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of these assets may not be recoverable. The determination of whether an impairment has occurred is based on an estimate of undiscounted cash flows attributable to the assets compared to the carrying value of the assets.
(c)Depreciation and Amortization Expense

Depreciation and amortization are computed using the straight-line method based on economic lives.

(d)Income Taxes

The Company is included in the U.S. federal consolidated income tax return of CenterPoint Energy. The Company reports its income tax provision on a separate entity basis pursuant to a tax sharing agreement with CenterPoint Energy. Current federal and certain state income taxes are payable to or receivable from CenterPoint Energy.

The Company uses the asset and liability method of accounting for deferred income taxes, and the portfolio approach to recognize income tax effects on other comprehensive income from accumulated other comprehensive income. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases.
Property, Plant and Equipment

The average useful life for the property, plant and equipment is 7 years.
Stock-Based Incentive Compensation Plans and Employee Benefit Plans

(a)Stock-Based Incentive Compensation Plans

The Company participates in CenterPoint Energy's long-term incentive plans (LTIPs). CenterPoint Energy has LTIPs that provide for the issuance of stock-based incentives, including stock options, performance awards, restricted stock unit awards and restricted and unrestricted stock awards to officers, employees and non-employee directors. Approximately 14 million shares of CenterPoint Energy Common Stock are authorized under these plans for awards. CenterPoint Energy issues new shares of its Common Stock to satisfy stock-based payments related to LTIPs. Equity awards are granted to employees without cost to the participants.

Compensation costs for the performance and stock unit awards granted under LTIPs are measured using fair value and expected achievement levels on the grant date. For performance awards with operational goals, the achievement levels are revised as goals are evaluated. The fair value of awards granted to employees is based on the closing stock price of CenterPoint Energy's Common Stock on the grant date. The compensation expense is recorded on a straight-line basis over the vesting period. Forfeitures are estimated on the date of grant based on historical averages and estimates are updated periodically throughout the vesting period.

The performance awards granted in 2021 and 2020 are distributed based upon the achievement of certain objectives over a three-year performance cycle. The stock unit awards granted in 2021 and 2020 are service based. The stock unit awards generally vest at the end of a three-year period, provided, however, that stock unit awards granted to non-employee directors vested immediately upon grant. Upon vesting, both the performance and stock unit awards are issued to the participants along with the value of dividend equivalents earned over the performance cycle or vesting period.

The Company recorded expenses related to LTIPs of $41.7 million and $33.1 million in 2021 and 2020, respectively.

(b)Pension Benefits

The Company participates in CenterPoint Energy's pension plans. CenterPoint Energy maintains a non-contributory qualified defined benefit pension plan covering eligible employees, with benefits determined using a cash balance formula. The Company recognized pension expense of $10 million and $7.8 million for 2021 and 2020, respectively.

In addition to the non-contributory qualified defined benefit pension plan, CenterPoint Energy maintains unfunded non-qualified benefit restoration plans which allow participants to receive the benefits to which they would have been entitled under CenterPoint Energy's non-contributory qualified pension plan except for federally mandated limits on qualified plan benefits or on the level of compensation on which qualified plan benefits may be calculated. The Company expense associated with the non-qualified pension plan was $3.1 million in both 2021 and 2020.

(c)Postretirement Benefits

The Company's employees participate in CenterPoint Energy's benefit plans which provides certain healthcare and life insurance benefits for eligible retired employees on both a contributory and non-contributory basis. Employees who were hired before January 1, 2018 and who have met certain age and service requirements at retirement, as defined in the plans, are eligible to participate in these benefit plans. Employees hired on or after January 1, 2018 are not eligible for these benefits. Postretirement benefit expense was $2.8 million and $3.6 million for 2021 and 2020, respectively.
Included in "Accumulated Provision for Pensions and Benefits" in the accompanying Comparative Balance Sheet at December 31, 2021 and 2020 was $53.7 million and $55.5 million, respectively relating to postretirement benefits.

(d)Savings Plan

CenterPoint Energy maintains the CenterPoint Energy Savings Plan, a tax-qualified employee savings plan that includes a cash or deferred arrangement under Section 401(k) of the Code, and an employee stock ownership plan under Section 4975(e)(7) of the Code. Under the plan, participating employees may make pre-tax or Roth contributions and, if eligible, after-tax contributions up to certain federally mandated limits. The Company provides matching contributions and, as of January 1, 2020, for certain eligible employees, nonelective contributions up to certain limits.

The CenterPoint Energy Savings Plan has significant holdings of Common Stock. As of December 31, 2021, 8,688,841 shares of Common Stock were held by the savings plan, which represented approximately 8% of its investments. Given the concentration of the investments in Common Stock, the savings plan and its participants have market risk related to this investment. The savings plan limits the percentage of future contributions that can be invested in Common Stock to 25% and prohibits transfers of account balances where the transfer would result in more than 25% of a participant's total account balance invested in Common Stock.

CenterPoint Energy allocates to the Company the savings plan benefit expense related to the Company's employees. Saving plan benefit expense was approximately $10.6 million and $8.9 million in 2021 and 2020, respectively.

(e)Other Benefits Plans

The Company participates in CenterPoint Energy's plan which provides postemployment benefits for certain former or inactive employees, their beneficiaries and covered dependents, after employment but before retirement (primarily health care and life insurance benefits for participants in the long-term disability plan). The Company recorded a credit of $0.2 million and a credit of $0.5 million in 2021 and 2020, respectively for postemployment benefits expense. Included in "Accumulated Provision for Pensions and Benefits" in the accompanying Comparative Balance Sheet at December 31, 2021 and 2020 was $0.5 million and $0.2 million, respectively, relating to postemployment obligations.

The Company participates in CenterPoint Energy's deferred compensation plans that provide benefits payable to eligible directors, officers and select employees or their designated beneficiaries at specified future dates, upon termination, retirement or death. Benefit payments are made from the general assets of the Company. The Company recorded benefit expense relating to these plans of $1.5 million and $2.2 million for 2021 and 2020, respectively. Amounts relating to deferred compensation plans included in "Other Deferred Credits" in the accompanying Comparative Balance Sheet at December 31, 2021 and 2020 were $22.2 million and $24 million, respectively. Included in "Accumulated Provision for Pensions and Benefits" in the accompanying Comparative Balance Sheets at December 31, 2021 and 2020 was $30.3 million and $33.2 million respectively, relating to split-dollar life insurance arrangements.
Related Party Transactions

The Company has receivables from, or payables to, CenterPoint Energy or its subsidiaries.

The Company participates in a money pool through which it can borrow or invest on a short-term basis. Funding needs are aggregated and external borrowing or investing is based on the net cash position. The net funding requirements of the money pool are expected to be met with borrowings under CenterPoint Energy's revolving credit facility or the sale of CenterPoint Energy's commercial paper. The Company had borrowings from the money pool of $0 and $99.8 million at December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively, which are included in "Notes Payable to Associate Companies" in the accompanying Comparative Balance Sheet.

The Company provides corporate services to CenterPoint Energy and its subsidiaries. The costs of services have been charged directly to CenterPoint Energy and its subsidiaries using methods that management believes are reasonable. These methods include negotiated usage rates, dedicated asset assignment and proportionate corporate formulas based on operating expenses, assets, employees and a composite of assets, gross margin and employees. These charges are not necessarily indicative of what would have been incurred had CenterPoint Energy and its subsidiaries not been affiliates. Amounts charged to CenterPoint Energy and its subsidiaries for these services were $714.5 million and $755.7 million, in 2021 and 2020, respectively.
Account 434, Extraordinary Income or Account 435, Extraordinary Deductions

The Company had no amounts recorded to these accounts.
Annual Statement to Associate Companies

The FERC Form 60 serves as the statement that supports interest on borrowed capital and compensation for the use of capital billed to associate companies. Interest on short term debt (money pool borrowings) to associate companies is not billed. The basis used for billing interest on long term debt to associate companies is the asset ratio. The asset ratio is computed using the total assets of each associate company benefitting from the use of the financial instrument, less net regulatory assets, goodwill, and investments in subsidiaries, plus any net income taxes payable. The amount of interest on long term debt billed to associate companies can be found in the table below and compensation for the use of capital billed to associate companies can be found on FERC Form 60, Page 307, column (d).
