NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
ENERGEN CORPORATION AND ALABAMA GAS CORPORATION
     

1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The unaudited condensed financial statements and notes should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto for the years ended
December 31, 20122013, 20112012 and 20102011, included in the 20122013 Annual Report of Energen Corporation (the Company) and Alabama Gas Corporation (Alagasco) on Form 10-K. Alagasco has a September 30 fiscal year for rate-setting purposes (rate year) and reports on a calendar year for the Securities and Exchange Commission and all other financial accounting reporting purposes. The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the disclosures required for complete financial statements. The Company’s natural gas distribution business is seasonal in character and influenced by weather conditions. Results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year. All adjustments to the unaudited condensed financial statements that are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair statement of the results for the interim periods have been recorded. Such adjustments consist of normal recurring items. Certain reclassifications were made to conform prior years’ financial statements to the current-quarter presentation.

On December 31, 2012, the Company and Alagasco revised the presentation of outstanding checks in its financial statements to reflect outstanding checks as a reduction in cash as of the date the checks were released for payment. The effect of not revising the presentation of cash balances for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 resulted in an increase of $1.9 million and a decrease of $0.8 million to Energen and Alagasco’s operating cash flows, respectively. The Company and Alagasco determined that the amounts were not material to the respective statements of cash flows. This adjustment had no impact on Energen or Alagasco’s statements of income.

2. REGULATORY MATTERS

Alagasco is subject to regulation by the Alabama Public Service Commission (APSC) which established the Rate Stabilization and Equalization (RSE) rate-setting process in 1983. The Company’sAlagasco’s current RSE order had an originalhas a term extending through December 31, 2014. At its meeting on November 5, 2013,September 30, 2018 and will continue beyond September 30, 2018, unless the APSC votedenters an order to make certain RSEthe contrary in a manner consistent with law. In the event of unforeseen circumstances, whether physical or economic, of the nature of force majeure and including a change in control the APSC and Alagasco will consult in good faith with respect to modifications, effectiveif any. Effective January 1, 2014, which are described as follows. The term of the order is extended through September 30, 2018. Alagasco’s allowed range of return on average common equity will beis 10.5 percent to 10.95 percent with an adjusting point of 10.8 percent. The previous allowed range of return on average common equity was 13.15 percent to 13.65 percent through December 31, 2013. Alagasco is eligible to receive a performance basedperformance-based adjustment of 5 basis points to the return on equity adjusting point, based on meeting certain customer satisfaction criteria. The equity upon which a return will be permitted will be 56.5 percent with Alagasco allowed to budget at the cap. The inflation-based Cost Control Mechanism (CCM) will be adjusted to allow annual increases to operations and maintenance (O&M) expense using the June Consumer Price Index For All Urban Consumers (Index Range) each rate year plus or minus 1.75 percent and from a 2007 base year, adjusted for inflation using the Index Range.  Alagasco expects these modifications to be included in a final written order in the fourth quarter of 2013.

Alagasco’s current allowed range of return on average common equity is 13.15 percent to 13.65 percent through December 31, 2013. Under RSE, the APSC conducts quarterly reviews to determine whether Alagasco’s return on average common equity at the end of the rate year will be within the allowed range of return. Reductions in rates can be made quarterly to bring the projected return within the allowed range; increases, however, are allowed only once each rate year, effective December 1, and cannot exceed 4 percent of prior-year revenues. During the three months and nine months ended September 30,March 31, 2014 and 2013, Alagasco had a net $4.3 millionpre-tax and a net $10.6 million pre-tax, respectively, reductionreductions in revenues to bring the return on average common equity to midpoint within the allowed range of return. Additionally, during the three months$16.2 million and nine months ended September 30, 2013, Alagasco had a $10.9$2.4 million, reduction in revenues related to the sale of its Metro Operations Center in August 2013. During the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2012, Alagasco had a net $1.3 million and a net $6.3 million pre-tax, respectively, reduction in revenues to bring the return on average common equity to midpoint within the allowed range of return. Under the provisions of RSE, a $7.8an $8.5 million decrease, $10.3 million increase and a $13.0$7.8 million annual increase in revenues became effective January 1, 2014, December 1, 20122013 and 20112012, respectively.

RSE currently limits the utility’s The equity upon which a return iswill be permitted to 55cannot exceed 56.5 percent of total capitalization, subject to certain adjustments. Currently, under the

The inflation-based CCMCost Control Mechanism (CCM), established by the APSC, if the percentage change inallows for annual increases to operations and maintenance (O&M) expense. The CCM range is Alagasco’s 2007 actual rate year O&M expense on an aggregate basis(Base Year) inflation-adjusted using the June Consumer Price Index For All Urban Consumers each rate year plus or minus 1.75 percent (Index Range). If rate year O&M expense falls within a range of 0.75 points above or below the percentage change in the September Index Range, on a rate year basis, no adjustment is required. If the change inrate year O&M expense on an aggregate basis exceeds the Index Range, three-quarters of the difference is returned to customers.customers through future rate adjustments. To the extent the changethat rate year O&M is less than the Index Range, the utility benefits by one-half of the difference through future rate adjustments. The O&M expense base for measurement purposes will be set at the prior year’s actual O&M expense amount unless the Company exceeds the top of the Index Range in two successive years, in which case the

12



base for the following year will be set at the top of the Index Range. Certain items that fluctuate based on situations demonstrated to be beyond Alagasco’s control may be excluded from the CCM calculation. Alagasco’s O&M expense fell within the Index Range for the rate years ended September 30, 2013 and 2012.

Alagasco’s rate schedules for natural gas distribution charges contain a Gas Supply Adjustment (GSA) rider, established in 1993, which permits the pass-through to customers of changes in the cost of gas supply. Alagasco’s tariff provides a temperature adjustment mechanism, also included in the GSA, thatwhich is designed to moderate the impact of departures from normal temperatures on Alagasco’s earnings. The temperature adjustment applies primarily to residential, small commercial and small industrial customers. Other non-temperature weather related conditions that may affect customer usage are not included in the temperature adjustment.

The APSC approved an Enhanced Stability Reserve (ESR) in 1998, which was subsequently modified and expanded in 2010. As currently approved, the ESR provides deferred treatment and recovery for the following: (1) extraordinary O&M expenses related to environmental response costs; (2) extraordinary O&M expenses related to self insurance costs that exceed $1 million per occurrence; (3) extraordinary O&M expenses, other than environmental response costs and self insurance costs, resulting from a single force majeure event or multiple force majeure events greater than $275,000 and $412,500, respectively, during a rate year; and (4) negative individual large commercial and industrial customer budget revenue variances that exceed $350,000 during a rate year. Charges to

12



Charges to the ESR are subject to certain limitations which may disallow deferred treatment and which proscribeprescribe the timing of recovery. Funding to the ESR is provided as a reduction to the refundable negative salvage balance over its nine year term beginning December 1, 2010. Subsequent to the nine year period and subject to APSC authorization, Alagasco anticipates recoveringexpects to be able to recover underfunded ESR balances over a five year amortization period with an annual limitation of $660,000. Amounts in excess of this limitation are deferred for recovery in future years.

3. DERIVATIVE COMMODITY INSTRUMENTS

Energen Resources Corporation, Energen’s oil and gas subsidiary, periodically enters into derivative commodity instruments to hedge its exposure to price fluctuations on oil, natural gas liquids and natural gas liquids production. In prior years, Alagasco entered into cash flow derivative commodity instruments to hedge its exposure to price fluctuations on its gas supply. Such instruments may include over-the-counter (OTC) swaps and basis hedgesswaps typically executed with investment and commercial banks and energy-trading firms. HedgeDerivative transactions are pursuant to standing authorizations by the Board of Directors, which do not authorize speculative positions. The Company recognizes all derivatives on the balance sheet and measures all derivatives at fair value. All derivative transactions are included in operating activities on the consolidated condensed statements of cash flows.

The Company is at risk for economic loss based upon the creditworthiness of its counterparties. Energen Resources was in a net gain position with seventwo of its active counterparties and in a net loss position with the remaining sixtwelve at September 30, 2013March 31, 2014. The largest counterparty net lossgain position at September 30, 2013March 31, 2014, Morgan Stanley Capital Group,Macquarie Bank Limited, constituted approximately $19.8$3.0 million of Energen Resources’ total net loss on fair value of derivatives. At September 30, 2013, Energen Resources was in a net gain position with Macquarie Bank Limited for approximately $10.0 million.

The current policy of the Company is to not enter into agreements that require the posting of collateral. The Company has a few older agreements, none of which have active positions as of September 30, 2013, which include collateral posting requirements based on the amount of exposure and counterparty credit ratings. The majority of the Company’s counterparty agreements include provisions for net settlement of transactions payable on the same date and in the same currency. Most of the agreements include various contractual set-off rights, which may be exercised by the non-defaulting party in the event of an early termination due to a default.

Prior to June 30, 2013, the Company utilized cash flow hedge accounting where applicable for its derivative transactions. If a derivative is designated as a cash flow hedge, the effectiveness of the hedge, or the degree that the gain (loss) for the hedging instrument offsets the loss (gain) on the hedged item, is measured at each reporting period. The effective portion of the gain or loss on the derivative instrument iswas recognized in accumulated other comprehensive income (OCI) as a component of shareholders’ equity and subsequently reclassified as operating revenues when the forecasted transaction affects earnings. The ineffective portion of a derivative’s change in fair value iswas required to be recognized in operating revenues immediately. All other derivative transactions not previously qualified fordesignated as cash flow hedge accounting are still considered by management to represent valid economic hedges and are accounted for as mark-to-market transactions. These derivatives are recorded at fair valuetransactions with gains or losses recognized in operating revenues in the period of change.

Effective March 31, 2013 and June 30, 2013, Energen Resources dedesignated from cash flow hedge accounting 5,078 thousand barrels (MBbl) and 2,353 MBbl, respectively, of various Permian Basin New York Mercantile Exchange (NYMEX) oil contracts associated with the Permian Basin due to lack of correlation. Any gains orGains and losses from inception of the hedge to the dedesignation date were frozen and will remain in accumulated other comprehensive

13



income until the forecasted transactions actually occur. Any subsequentSubsequent gains or losses will be accounted for as mark-to-market and recognized immediately through operating revenues.

Effective June 30, 2013, the Company elected to discontinue the use of cash flow hedge accounting and to dedesignate all remaining derivative commodity instruments that were previously designated as cash flow hedges. As a result of discontinuing hedge accounting, any gains or losses from inception of the hedge to June 30, 2013 were frozen and will remain in accumulated other comprehensive income until the forecasted transactions actually occur. Any subsequent gains or losses will be accounted for as mark-to-market and recognized immediately through operating revenues. As a result of the Company’s election to discontinue hedge accounting, all derivative transactions entered into subsequent to June 30, 2013 will be accounted for as mark-to-market transactions with gains or losses recognized in operating revenues in the period of change.

As of September 30, 2013, Alagasco had no derivative instruments. As of December 31, 2012, Alagasco had $2.6 million of derivative instruments which were classified as Level 2 fair values and included in the above table as current liabilities. Alagasco had no derivative instruments classified as Level 3 fair values as of December 31, 2012.

The Company has prepared a sensitivity analysis to evaluate the hypothetical effect that changes in the prices used to estimate fair value would have on the fair value of its derivative instruments. The Company estimates that a 10 percent increase or decrease in commodity prices would result in an approximate $2218 million change in the fair value of open Level 3 derivative contracts. The resulting impact upon the results of operations would be an approximate $2218 million associated with open Level 3 mark-to-market

8. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES    

Commitments and Agreements: Under various agreements for third partythird-party gathering, treatment, transportation or other services, Energen Resources is committed to deliver minimum production volumes or to pay certain costs in the event the minimum quantities are not delivered. These delivery commitments are approximately 7.56.4 million barrels of oil equivalent (MMBOE) through September 2017.

19


Energen Resources entered into three agreements which commenced at various dates from November 15, 2011 to January 15, 2012 and expire at various dates through January 2015 to secure drilling rigs necessary to execute a portion of its drilling plans. In the unlikely event that Energen Resources discontinues use of these drilling rigs, Energen Resources’ total resulting exposure could be as much as $14 million depending on the contractor’s ability to remarket the drilling rig.

Certain of Alagasco’s long-term contracts associated with the delivery and storage of natural gas include fixed charges of approximately $185150 million through September 2024. During both the ninethree months endingended September 30, 2013March 31, 2014 and 2012,2013, Alagasco recognized approximately $36.813.4 million and $14.4 million, respectively, of long-term commitments through expense and its regulatory accounts in the accompanying financial statements. Alagasco also is committed to purchase minimum quantities of gas at market-related prices or to pay certain costs in the event the minimum quantities are not taken. These purchase commitments are approximately 146123 Bcf through August 2020.

Alagasco purchases gas as an agent for certain of its large commercial and industrial customers. Alagasco has, in certain instances, provided commodity-related guarantees to the counterparties in order to facilitate these agency purchases. Liabilities existing for gas delivered to customers subject to these guarantees are included in the balance sheets. In the event the customer for whom the guarantee was entered fails to take delivery of the gas, Alagasco can sell such gas for the customer, with the customer liable for any resulting loss. Although the substantial majority of purchases under these guarantees are for the customers’ current monthly consumption and are at current market prices, in some instances, the purchases are for an extended term at a fixed price. At September 30, 2013March 31, 2014, the fixed price purchases under these guarantees had a maximum term outstanding through OctoberDecember 2014 andwith an aggregate purchase price of $0.8 million with aand market value of $0.8 million.

Income Taxes: The Company uses the liability method of accounting for income taxes. Under this method, a deferred tax asset or liability is recognized for the estimated future tax effects attributable to temporary differences between the financial statement basis and the tax basis of assets and liabilities as well as tax credit carryforwards.  In accordance with Accounting Standards Codification 740-30-25-7, the Company has not recognized a deferred tax liability for the difference between the book basis and the tax basis in the stock of its subsidiaries. The unrecorded gross outside basis difference for Alagasco exceeds the recorded inside asset basis difference by approximately $35 million and would result in an additional deferred tax liability of $130.3 million.

Legal Matters: Energen and its affiliates are, from time to time, parties to various pending or threatened legal proceedings.proceedings and the Company has accrued a provision for its estimated liability. Certain of these lawsuits include claims for punitive damages in addition to other specified relief. The Company recognizes its liability for contingencies when information available indicates both a loss is probable and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. Based upon information presently available, and in light of available legal and other defenses, contingent liabilities arising from threatened and pending litigation are not considered

material in relation to the respective financial positions of Energen and its affiliates. It should be noted, however, that Energenthere is uncertainty in the valuation of pending claims and its affiliates conduct business in jurisdictions in which the magnitude and frequencyprediction of punitive and other damage awards may bear little or no relation to culpability or actual damages, thus making it difficult to predict litigation results.

Various pending or threatened legal proceedings areOn December 17, 2013, an incident occurred at a Housing Authority apartment complex in progress currently,Birmingham, Alabama which resulted in one fatality, personal injuries and property damage. Alagasco is cooperating with the CompanyNational Transportation Safety Board which is investigating the incident. Alagasco has accruedbeen named as a provision for estimated liability.defendant in several lawsuits arising from the incident and additional lawsuits and claims may be filed against Alagasco.

Energen Resources previously disclosed an adverse judgment relating to the ownership of the companyCompany operated Cadenhead 25-1 Well (the Cadenhead Well) in Ward County, Texas. Upon a Motion to Reconsider, the adverse judgment was vacated by the District Court in Ward County, Texas and a Summary Judgment Order dated July 30, 2013 was entered confirming Energen Resources’ superior title to the Cadenhead Well and its associated oil and gas leases. The Summary Judgment Order has been appealed by the other party.

Environmental Matters: Various environmental laws and regulations apply to the operations of Energen Resources and Alagasco. Historically, the cost of environmental compliance has not materially affected the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows. New regulations, enforcement policies, claims for damages or other events could result in significant unanticipated costs.

Under oversight of the Site Remediation Section of the Railroad Commission of Texas, the Company is currently in the process of cleanup and remediation of oil and gas wastes in nine reserve pits in Mitchell County, Texas. The Company estimates that the cleanup, remediation and related costs will approximate $1.82.1 million of which $1.61.9 million has been incurred and $0.2 million has been reserved.
During January 2014, Energen Resources responded to a General Notice and Information Request from the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) regarding the Reef Environmental Site in Sylacauga, Talladega County, Alabama. The letter identifies Energen Resources as a potentially responsible party (PRP) under The Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (CERCLA) for the cleanup of the Site. In 2008, Energen hired a third party to transport approximately 3,000 gallons of non-hazardous wastewater to Reef Environmental for wastewater treatment. Reef Environmental ceased operating its wastewater treatment system in 2010. Due to its one time use of Reef Environmental for a small volume of non-hazardous wastewater, Energen Resources has not accrued a liability for cleanup of the Site.

Alagasco is in the chain of title of nine former manufactured gas plant sites, four of which it still owns, and five former manufactured gas distribution sites, one of which it still owns. Management expects that, should future remediation of the sites be required, Alagasco’s share of the remediation costs will not materially affect the financial position of Alagasco. During 2011, a removal action was completed at the Huntsville, Alabama manufactured gas plant site pursuant to an Administrative Settlement Agreement and Order on Consent among the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA),EPA, Alagasco and the current site owner.


20



In 2012, Alagasco responded to an EPA Request for Information Pursuant to Section 104 of CERCLA relating to the EPA’s investigation of a site which it refers to as the 3535thth Avenue Superfund Site located in North Birmingham, Jefferson County, Alabama. The Request related to a former site of a manufactured gas distribution facility owned by Alagasco and located in the vicinity of the 3535thth Avenue Superfund Site. In September 2013, Alagasco received from the EPA a General Notice Letter and Invitation to Conduct a Removal Action at the 35th Avenue Superfund Site. The letter identifies Alagasco as a potentially responsible party (PRP)PRP under CERCLA for the cleanup of the Site or costs the EPA incurs in cleaning up the Site. The EPA also offered the PRP group the opportunity to conduct Phase I of the proposed removal action which involved removal activities at approximately 50 residences that purportedly exceed certain risk levels for contamination. Alagasco has discussed its designation as a PRP further with the EPA, and Alagasco has requested additional information from the EPA regarding its designation as a PRP,PRP. Alagasco has also been approached by a law firm regarding entry into an agreement to toll the statute of limitations with potential plaintiffs related to purported damages allegedly incurred by such potential plaintiffs in connection with the 35th Avenue Superfund Site, and an opportunityis considering whether to discussenter into such a tolling arrangement. Alagasco has not been provided information at this designation further with EPA. Alagasco is unabletime that would allow it to determine the extent, if any, of its potential liability with respect to the 35th Avenue Superfund Site and the proposed removal action, and therefore Alagasco has not agreed to undertake the proposed removal activities and no amount has been accrued as of September 30, 2013.March 31, 2014.

New Mexico Audits: During the third quarter of 2010, Energen Resources received preliminary findings from the Taxation and Revenue Department (the Department) of the State of New Mexico relating to its audit, conducted on behalf of the Office of Natural Resources Revenue (ONRR), of federal oil and gas leases in New Mexico. The audit covered periods from January 2004 through December 2008 and included a review of the computation and payment of royalties due on minerals removed from specified U.S. federal leases. The ONRR has proposed certain changes in the method of determining allowable deductions of transportation, fuel and processing costs from royalties due under the terms of the related leases.

As a result of the audit, Energen Resources has been ordered by the ONRR to pay additional royalties on the specified U.S. federal leases in the amount of $142,000 and restructure its accounting for all federal leases in two counties in New Mexico from March 1, 2004, forward. The Company preliminarily estimates that application of the Order to all of the Company’s New Mexico federal leases would result in ONRR claims for up to approximately $23 million of additional royalties plus interest and penalties for the period from March 1, 2004, forward. The preliminary findings and subsequent Order (issued April 25, 2011) are contrary to deductions allowed under previous audits, retroactive in application and inconsistent with the Company’s understanding of industry practice. The Company is vigorously contesting the Order and has requested additional information from the ONRR and the Department to assist the Company in evaluating the ONRR Order and the Department’s findings. Management is unable, at this time, to determine a range of reasonably possible losses as a result of this Order, and no amount has been accrued as of September 30, 2013March 31, 2014.

9. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The stated value of cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments, trade receivables (net of allowance), and short-term debt approximates fair value due to the short maturity of the instruments. The fair value of Energen’s long-term debt, including the current portion, was approximately $1,188.21,421.2 million and $1,255.81,420.7 million and both had a carrying value of $1,154.01,388.9 million and $1,403.9 million at September 30, 2013March 31, 2014 and December 31, 20122013, respectively.

The fair values are based on market prices of similar debt issues having the same remaining maturities, redemption terms and credit rating. Short-term debt is classified as Level 1 fair value and long-term debt is classified as Level 2 fair value.

In December 2011,At March 31, 2014, the Company entered intohad interest rate swap agreements forwith a notional of $200 million of the Senior Term Loans.. The swap agreementsinterest rate swaps exchange a variable interest rate for a fixed interest rate of 2.41752.6675 percent on $200 million of the principal amount outstanding.percent. The fair value of the Company’s interest rate swap was a $2.11.6 million and a $3.31.8 million liability at September 30, 2013March 31, 2014 and December 31, 20122013, respectively, and is classified as Level 2 fair value liability. The fair value of the Company’s interest rate swap is recognized on a gross basis on the consolidated balance sheet.

Finance Receivables: Alagasco finances third-party contractor sales of merchandise including gas furnaces and appliances. At September 30, 2013March 31, 2014 and December 31, 20122013, Alagasco’s finance receivable totaled $10.810.5 million and $10.710.8 million, respectively. These finance receivables currently have an average balance of approximately $3,000 with terms of up to 84 months.months. Financing is available only to qualified customers who meet credit worthinesscreditworthiness thresholds for customer payment history and external agency credit reports. Alagasco relies upon ongoing payments as the primary indicator of credit quality during the term of each contract. The allowance for credit losses is recognized using an estimate of write-off percentages based on historical experience applied to an aging of the finance receivable balance. Delinquent accounts are evaluated on a case-by-case basis and, absent evidence of debt repayment after 90 days, are due in full and assigned to a third-party collection agency. UncollectedThe remaining finance receivables arereceivable is written off approximately 1512 months after the account has been final billed.being assigned to a third-party collection agency. Alagasco had finance receivables past due 90 days or more of $0.70.3 million and $0.50.4 million as of September 30, 2013March 31, 2014 and December 31, 20122013, respectively.

10. EXPLORATORY COSTS    

The Company capitalizes exploratory drilling costs until a determination is made that the well or project has either found proved reserves or is impaired. After an exploratory well has been drilled and found oil and natural gas reserves, a determination may be pending as to whether the oil and natural gas quantities can be classified as proved. In those circumstances, the Company continues to capitalize the drilling costs pending the determination of proved status if (i) the well has found a sufficient quantity of reserves to justify its completion as a producing well and (ii) the Company is making sufficient progress assessing the reserves and the economic and operating viability of the project. Capitalized exploratory drilling costs are presented in oil and gas properties in the balance sheets. If the exploratory well is determined to be impaired, the impaired costs are charged to operations and maintenance expense. Other exploration costs, including geological and geophysical costs, are expensed as incurred.

11.12. ASSET RETIREMENT OBLIGATIONS

The Company recognizes a liability for the fair value of asset retirement obligations (ARO) in the periods incurred. Subsequent to initial measurement, liabilities are accreted to their present value and capitalized costs are depreciated over the estimated useful lifelives of the related assets. Upon settlement of the liability, the Company may recognize a gain or loss for differences between estimated and actual settlement costs. The ARO fair value liability is recognized on a discounted basis incorporating an estimate of performance risk specific to the Company.

During the ninethree months ended September 30, 2013March 31, 2014, Energen Resources recognized amounts representing expected future costs associated with site reclamation, facilities dismantlement, and plug and abandonment of wells as follows:

The Company recognizes conditional obligations if such obligations can be reasonably estimated and a legal requirement to perform an asset retirement activity exists. Alagasco accrues removal costs on certain gas distribution assets over the useful lives of its property, plant and equipment through depreciation expense in accordance with rates approved by the APSC. Alagasco recorded a conditional asset retirement obligation, on a discounted basis, of $25.827.8 million and $24.927.5 million to purge and cap its gas pipelines upon abandonment and to remediate other related obligations, as a regulatory liability as of September 30, 2013March 31, 2014 and December 31, 20122013, respectively. Regulatory assets for rate recovery of accumulated asset removal costs of $2.24.0 million and $3.34.6 million as of September 30, 2013March 31, 2014 and December 31, 20122013, are

13. ACQUISITION AND DISPOSITION OF PROPERTIES

In August 2013, Alagasco recorded a pre-tax gain of $10.9 million onrelated to the sale of its Metro Operations Center which is located in Birmingham, Alabama, and has been in service since the 1940’s. The Company received approximately $13.8 million pre-tax in cash from the sale of this property. TheDuring the third quarter of 2013, the gain on the sale was recognized in other income and a related reduction in revenues was recognized to defer the gain as a regulatory liability pending review by the APSC. Based uponIn conjunction with the November 5, 2013 review byreceipt of the rate order from the APSC on December 20, 2013, Alagasco will recognizerecognized the deferred revenues from thethis sale in the fourth quarter of 2013. Effective upon the sale of the Metro Operations Center, Alagasco leased the facility from the purchaser for a period of approximately 20 months.

14. RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

In December 2011, the FASB issued Accounting Standard Update (ASU) No. 2011-11, Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities. The amendments in this update require an entity to disclose information about offsetting and related arrangements to enable users of its financial statements to understand the effect of those arrangements on its financial position. The amendment is effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013, and interim periods within those annual periods. In January 2013, the FASB issued ASU No. 2013-01, Clarifying the Scope of Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities. The effective date and transition of the disclosure requirement in ASU No. 2011-11 remained unchanged. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements of the Company. The additional disclosures are included in Note 3, Derivative Commodity Instruments.

In February 2013, the FASB issued ASU No. 2013-02, Reporting of Amounts Reclassified Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income. This update requires companies to include reclassification adjustments for items that are reclassified from other comprehensive income to net income in a single note or on the face of the financial statements. The amendment was effective for annual and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2012. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements of the Company. The additional disclosures are included in Note 13, Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss).

16. RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

In April 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2014-08, Reporting Discontinued Operations and Disclosures of Disposals of Components of an Entity. This update defines a discontinued operation as a disposal of a component or a group of components that is disposed of or is classified as held-for-sale and represents a strategic shift that has (or will have) a major effect on an entity’s operations and financial results. The amendment is effective for all annual periods beginning on or after December 15, 2014, and interim periods within those annual periods. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this ASU.

17. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

In April 2014, Energen signed a stock purchase agreement to sell Alagasco to The Laclede Group, Inc. (Laclede) for $1.6 billion, subject to closing adjustments, which includes an estimated $1.28 billion in cash and the assumption of $320 million in debt. This sale is expected to close during 2014. Energen plans to use cash proceeds from the sale to reduce long-term and short-term indebtedness.

Due to the sale of Alagasco discussed above, the Company has separated its qualified defined benefit plans and the postretirement health care and life insurance benefit plans into separate plans established for Energen and Alagasco. These separate plans will be remeasured effective April 30, 2014.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
 

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Energen had aEnergen’s net loss totalingincome totaled $19.353.3 million ($0.270.73 per diluted share) for the three months ended September 30, 2013March 31, 2014 compared with net income of $2.056.7 million ($0.030.78 per diluted share) for the same period in the prior year. In the thirdfirst quarter of 2013,2014, Energen’s lossincome from continuing operations totaled $5.555.5 million ($0.080.76 per diluted share) and compared with lossincome from continuing operations of $1.554.7 million ($0.020.75 per diluted share) in the same period a year ago. Loss from discontinued operations for the current-quarter period was $13.82.2 million as compared with income of $3.62.0 million from the prior-year thirdfirst quarter. Energen Resources Corporation, Energen’s oil and gas subsidiary, had a net lossincome for the three months ended September 30, 2013March 31, 2014, of $10.2$10.0 million as compared with a net gainincome of $12.4$8.8 million in the same quarter in the previous year. Energen Resources generated net income from continuing operations of $3.6$12.2 million in the current quarter as compared with $8.8income of $6.8 million in the same quarter last year. This decreaseincrease in net income from continuing operations was primarily the result of higher oil, natural gas liquids and natural gas production volumes (approximately $30 million after-tax), increased oil and natural gas commodity prices (approximately $5 million after-tax) and a year-over-year after-tax $4.4 million non-cash mark-to-market increase in derivatives (resulting from an after-tax $21.5 million non-cash mark-to-market loss on derivatives for the first quarter of 2014 and an after-tax $26 million non-cash mark-to-market loss on derivatives for the first quarter of 2013). Negatively affecting net income was the impact of higher depreciation, depletion and amortization (DD&A) expense (approximately $24 million after-tax), increased lease operating expense excluding production taxes (approximately $7$19 million after-tax), higher administrativeexploration expense (approximately $7 million after-tax), increased production taxes (approximately $3 million after-tax), decreased natural gas liquids commodity prices (approximately $1$4 million after-tax), and a year-over-year after-tax $10 million non-cash mark-to-market decrease in derivatives (resulting from an after-tax $39.7 million non-cash mark-to-market loss on derivatives for the third quarter of 2013 and an after-tax $29.7 million non-cash mark-to-market loss on derivatives for the third quarter of 2012). Positively affecting net income was the impact of higher natural gas, oil and natural gas liquids production volumesadministrative expense (approximately $31 million after-tax) and increased natural gas and oil commodity prices (approximately $16$3 million after-tax). Energen’s natural gas utility, Alagasco, reported a net lossincome of $9.043.0 million in the thirdfirst quarter of 20132014 compared to net lossincome of $10.047.2 million in the same period last year.

For the 2013 year-to-date, Energen’s net income totaled $120.5 million ($1.67 per diluted share) compared to net income of $190.7 million ($2.64 per diluted share) for the same period in the prior year. For the nine months ended September 30, 2013, Energen’s income from continuing operations totaled $129.9 million ($1.80 per diluted share) and compared with income from continuing operations of $194.7 million ($2.69 per diluted share) in the same period a year ago. Discontinued operations generated a loss for the current year-to-date period of $9.4 million as compared with a loss of $4.0 million from the same period a year ago. Energen Resources generated net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2013, of $82.4 million as compared with income of $153.6 million in the previous period. Energen Resources generated net income from continuing operations of $91.7 million in the current year-to-date as compared with income of $157.4 million in the same period last year. Higher DD&A expense (approximately $55 million after-tax), increased lease operating expense excluding production taxes (approximately $33 million after-tax), higher administrative expense (approximately $16 million after-tax), increased production taxes (approximately $6 million after-tax), decreased natural gas liquids commodity prices (approximately $4 million after-tax), increased interest expense (approximately $2 million after-tax), lower natural gas production volumes (approximately $1 million after-tax) and a year-over-year after-tax $52.7 million non-cash mark-to-market decrease in derivatives (resulting from an after-tax $30.7 million non-cash mark-to-market loss on derivatives for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and an after-tax $22 million non-cash mark-to-market gain on derivatives for the nine months ended September 30, 2012) were partially offset by increased oil and natural gas liquids production volumes (approximately $77 million after-tax) and higher natural gas and oil commodity prices (approximately $29 million after-tax). Alagasco’s net income of $37.6 million in the current year-to-date compared to net income of $37.2 million in the same period in the previous year.
Oil and Gas Operations
Revenues from continuing oil and gas operations rose 26.825.8 percent to $272.0297.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2013March 31, 2014 largely as a result of higher production volumes, and increased realized oil and natural gas and oil commodity prices and the non-cash mark-to-market increase in derivatives partially offset by the non-cash mark-to-market decrease in derivatives combined with decreased realized natural gas liquids commodity prices. Revenues from continuing oil and gas operations rose 9.5 percent to $875.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 primarily as a result of significantly increased oil and natural gas liquids production volumes along with increased realized natural gas and oil commodity prices partially offset by lower natural gas production volumes, decreased realized natural gas liquids commodity prices and the non-cash mark-to-market decrease in derivatives. During the current quarter, revenue per unit of production for natural gas increased 10.9oil rose 1.4 percent to $4.06$86.86 per thousand cubic feet (Mcf),barrel, while oil revenue per unit of production rose 8.3 percent to $89.67 per barrel. Naturalnatural gas liquids revenue per unit of production fell 3.82.6 percent to an average price of $0.75 per gallon. In the year-to-date, revenue per unit of production for naturalNatural gas rose 13.7 percent to $4.14 per Mcf, oil revenue per unit of production increased 3.78.2 percent to $87.59$4.51 per barrel and natural gas liquids revenue per unit of production fell 7.5 percent to an average price of $0.74 per gallon.thousand cubic feet (Mcf). Revenues per unit of production include realized prices and the effects of designated cash flow hedges and exclude the impact of the non-cash mark-to-market hedges.

30



Production from continuing operations for the current quarter and year-to-date increased largely due to higher volumes related to increased field development in certain Permian Basin liquids-rich properties partially offset by normal production declines. Natural gas productionOil volumes in the thirdfirst quarter rose 1.7increased 18.9 percent to 14.9 billion cubic feet (Bcf), oil volumes increased 21.5 percent to 2,7642,751 thousand barrels (MBbl) and, natural gas liquids production rose 45.637.3 percent to 36.737.9 million gallons (MMgal). For the year-to-date, and natural gas production declined 1.5in the first quarter rose 2.2 percent to 43.4 Bcf, while oil volumes rose 19.6 percent to 7,670 MBbl. Natural gas liquids production increased 24.7 percent to 98.5 MMgal.14.1 billion cubic feet (Bcf). Oil and natural gas liquids comprised approximately 59 percent and 5861 percent of Energen Resources’ production from continuing operations for the current quarter and year-to-date, respectively.

Energen Resources may, in the ordinary course of business, be involved in the sale of developed or undeveloped properties. With respect to developed properties, sales may occur as a result of, but not limited to, disposing of non-strategic or marginal assets and accepting offers where the buyer gives greater value to a property than does Energen Resources. The Company reflects gains and losses on the disposition of these assets, the writedown of certain properties held-for-sale, and income or loss from the operations of the associated held-for-sale properties as discontinued operations for those sales that qualify for such reporting under generally accepted accounting standards. During the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2013, Energen Resources recorded in loss on disposal of discontinued operations a non-cash impairment writedown of $24.6 million pre-tax on certain natural gas and oil assets located in North Louisiana/East Texas. Energen Resources had no disposal of discontinued operations during the third quarter of 2012 or the year-to-date ended September 30, 2012. The Company includes gains and losses on the disposition of assets that do not qualify as discontinued operations in operating revenues. Energen Resources recorded a pre-tax loss of $37,000 in the third quarter of 2013 and a pre-tax gain of $0.1 million in the year-to-date from the sale of various Permian Basin properties. Energen Resources recorded a pre-tax gain of $0.1 million in the third quarter of 2012 and a pre-tax gain of $0.2 million year-to-date from the sale of various properties.quarter.

Operations and maintenance (O&M) expense increased $21.2$15.1 million for the quarter and $77.1 million for the year-to-date.quarter. Lease operating expense (excluding production taxes) generally reflects year over yearyear-over-year increases in the number of active wells resulting from Energen Resources’ ongoing development, exploratory and acquisition activities. Lease operating expense (excluding production taxes) increased $11.7decreased $0.1 million for the quarter largely due to additionallower ad valorem taxes (approximately $1.9 million) and decreased equipment rental expense (approximately $1.6 million) partially offset by higher workover and repair expense (approximately $5.5 million), higher water disposal costs (approximately $1.9 million), increased gathering costs (approximately $1.6 million), increased marketing and transportation costs (approximately $1.5 million), higher electrical costs (approximately $0.9 million) and additional equipment rental expense (approximately $0.9 million) partially offset by lower ad valorem taxes (approximately $2 million). In the year-to-date, lease operating expense (excluding production taxes) increased $51.4 million primarily due to increased workover and repair expense (approximately $21.5$1.4 million), additional equipment rentalother O&M expense (approximately $5.3 million), higher water disposal costs (approximately $5.3 million), increased gathering costs (approximately $3.8 million), higher marketing and transportation costs (approximately $2.9 million), increased ad valorem taxes (approximately $2.9 million), higher electrical costs (approximately $2.8 million), increased chemical and treatment costs (approximately $2.5$1.1 million) and increased environmental compliancelabor costs (approximately $2.3$0.6 million). On a per unit basis, the average lease operating expense (excluding production taxes) for the current quarter was $11.30$12.49 per barrel of oil equivalent (BOE) as compared to $10.81$14.25 per BOE in the same period a year ago. For the nine months ended September 30, 2013, the average lease operating expense (excluding production taxes) was $12.20 per BOE as compared to $10.17 per BOE in the previous period. Administrative expense increased $11.2$4.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2013March 31, 2014 largely due to increased costs from the Company’s benefit and performance-based compensation plans (approximately $7.2$4.1 million), and higher labor costs (approximately $2.2$1.7 million) and increasedpartially offset by decreased legal expenses (approximately $1.7$1.2 million). ForExploration expense increased $11.3 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2013, administrative expense rose $25.2 millionfirst quarter of 2014 primarily due to increased costs from the Company’s benefithigher delay rental payments and performance-based compensation plans (approximately $15.1 million), higher labor costs (approximately $7.2 million) and increased legal expenses (approximately $2 million). Exploration expense decreased $1.7 million in the third quarter of 2013 and rose $0.5 million year-to-date.seismic costs.

Energen Resources’ DD&A expense for the quarter rose $39 million. For the year-to-date, Energen Resources’ DD&A expense increased $87.8$29.3 million. The average depletion rate for the current quarter was $20.27$20.52 per BOE as compared to $16.03$17.84 per BOE in the same period a year ago. For the nine months ended September 30, 2013, the average depletion rate was $19.10 per BOE as compared to $15.49 per BOE, excluding the asset impairment, in the previous period. The increase in the current quarter and year-to-date per unit DD&A rate, which contributed approximately $25.9$16.1 million and $62.2 million, respectively, to the increase in DD&A expense, was largely due to higher rates resulting from an increase in development costs and the impact from downward reserve revisions related to natural gas reserves at year-end.greater oil volumes as a percent of total production. Higher production volumes contributed approximately $12.9 million and $25$13.1 million to the increase in DD&A expense for the quarter and year-to-date, respectively.quarter.

Energen Resources’ expense for taxes other than income taxes was $5.3 million and $9.5$6.0 million higher in the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2013, respectively,March 31, 2014 largely due to production-related taxes. In the quarter, higher oil, natural gas liquids and oilnatural gas commodity market prices contributed approximately $3.4$4.1 million to the increase in production-related taxes and higher oil and natural gas liquids commodityincreased production volumes contributed approximately $2 million to the increase. In the year-to-date, higher net commodity market prices contributed approximately $5.6 million to the increase in production-related taxes and higher commodity

production volumes contributed approximately $4.1$1.9 million to the increase. Commodity market prices exclude the effects of derivative instruments for purposes of determining severance taxes.

Natural Gas Distribution
Natural gas distribution revenues decreased $13.4increased $26.2 million for the quarter largely due to higher customer usage combined with an increase in the pass-through of gas costs partially offset by adjustments from the utility’s rate setting mechanisms combined with a decrease in customer usage partially offset by a decrease in the pass-through of gas costs.mechanisms. During the thirdfirst quarter of 2013,2014, Alagasco had a net $4.3$16.2 million pre-tax reduction in revenues to bring the return on average common equity to midpoint within the allowed range of return. Additionally, duringDuring the three months and nine months ended September 30,first quarter of 2013, Alagasco had a $10.9net $2.4 million reduction in revenues related to the sale of its Metro Operations Center in August 2013. During the third quarter of 2012, Alagasco had a net $1.3 million pre-tax reduction in revenues to bring the return on average common equity to midpoint within the allowed range of return. For the third quarter, weather was comparable with the same quarter in the prior year. Residential sales volumes rose slightly while commercial and industrial customer sales volumes rose 2.1 percent. Transportation volumes fell slightly in period comparisons. Revenues for the year-to-date rose $63.4 million primarily due to the pass-through of gas costs along with additional customer usage partially offset by adjustments from the utility’s rate setting mechanisms. During the year-to-date 2013, Alagasco had a net $10.6 million pre-tax reduction in revenues to bring the return on average common equity to midpoint within the allowed range of return. In the 2012 year-to-date, Alagasco had a net reduction in revenues of $6.3 million pre-tax to bring the return on average common equity to midpoint within the allowed range of return. Weather, for the current year-to-date,quarter, that was 48.126.2 percent colder compared with the same period in the prior year contributed to a 32.625.7 percent increase in residential sales volumes and a 21.126.3 percent rise in commercial and industrial customer sales volumes. Transportation volumes decreased slightly in period comparisons. DecreasedIncreased gas purchase volumes partially offset byand higher gas costs resulted in a 2.334.2 percent decreaseincrease in cost of gas for the quarter. For the year-to-date a significant increase in gas costs combined with higher gas purchase volumes resulted in a 73.6 percent increase in cost of gas. Utility gas costs include commodity cost, risk management gains and losses and the provisions of the Gas Supply Adjustment (GSA) rider. The GSA rider in Alagasco’s rate schedule provides for a pass-through of gas pricecost fluctuations to customers without markup. Alagasco’s tariff provides a temperature adjustment mechanism, also included in the GSA, that is designed to moderate the impact of departures from normal temperatures on Alagasco’s earnings. The temperature adjustment applies primarily to residential, small commercial and small industrial customers.

O&M expense declined 9.64.7 percent in the current quarter primarily due to lower distribution operation expenses (approximately $0.5 million) and decreased consulting and technology costs (approximately $0.5 million). In the nine months ended September 30, 2013, O&M expense increased slightly largely due to increased labor-related costs (approximately $3 million) and higher bad debt expense (approximately $0.8 million) partially offset by decreased consulting and technology expense (approximately $1 million) and lower insurance costs (approximately $0.8$1.9 million).

A 4.65.6 percent increase in depreciation expense in the current quarter and a 3.5 percent increase in the year-to-date was primarily due to the extension and replacement of the utility’s distribution system and replacement of its support systems. Taxes other than income taxes primarily reflected various state and local business taxes as well as payroll-related taxes. State and local business taxes generally are based on gross receipts and fluctuate accordingly.

Interest expense for the Company rose $0.5$0.9 million in the thirdfirst quarter of 2013 and $3.3 million year-to-date2014 largely due to higherthe December 2013, issuance of $600 million in Senior Term Loans with a floating interest rate due March 31, 2014 through December 17, 2017. The $600 million issuance includes $400 million with a floating rate of the London Interbank Offered Rate plus 1.625 percent, currently 1.778 percent at March 31, 2014 and $200 million swapped to a fixed rate at 2.6675 percent. These increases in interest expense for 2014 were partially offset by the October 2013 repayment of $50 million of 5 percent Notes, the December 2013 repayment of the Senior Term Loans of $300 million issued in November 2011 and lower short-term borrowings. Other income for the Company increased $11.3 million for both the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2013 primarily due to the pre-tax gain of $10.9 million on the August 2013 sale of Alagasco’s Metro Operations Center. Income tax expense for the Company decreased $3.3 million and $36.6increased $0.4 million in the current quarter and year-to-date, respectively, largely due to lowerhigher pre-tax income.

FINANCIAL POSITION AND LIQUIDITY
     

Cash flows from operations for the year-to-date were $728.0297.0 million as compared to $603.1261.5 million in the prior period. The Company’s working capital needs were influenced by accrued taxes, commodity prices and the timing of payments and recoveries, including gas supply pass-through adjustments and refundable negative salvage costs. Working capital needs at Alagasco were additionally affected by higher gas costs and changes to storage gas inventory compared to the prior period.

The Company had a net outflow of cash from investing activities of $968.2281.0 million for the ninethree months ended September 30, 2013March 31, 2014 primarily due to additions of property, plant and equipment of $983$289 million. Energen Resources incurred on a cash basis $916$273 million in capital expenditures primarily related to the acquisition and development of oil and gas properties. Energen Resources had cash proceeds in the first quarter of $7.3 million primarily from the sale of the North Louisiana/East Texas properties. Utility capital expenditures on a cash basis totaled $67.115.5 million year-to-date and primarily represented expansion and replacement of its distribution system and replacement of its support facilities and information systems.

Oil and Gas Operations
The Company plans to continue investing significant capital in Energen Resources’ oil and gas production operations. For 2013,2014, the Company expects its oil and gas capital spending to total approximately $1.1$1.3 billion, primarily all of which is for existing properties, including exploration to date of $321 million.properties. On an annual basis, the development and exploration expenditures cannot be reasonably segregated as drilling and development throughout the course of the year may change the classification of locations currently identified as exploratory. 

The Company also may allocate additional capital for other oil and gas activities such as property acquisitions and additional development of existing properties. Energen Resources may evaluate acquisition opportunities which arise in the marketplace and from time to time will pursue acquisitions that meet Energen’s acquisition criteria.marketplace. Energen Resources’ ability to invest in property acquisitions is subject to market conditions and industry trends. Property acquisitions, except as disclosed above, are not included in the aforementioned estimate of oil and gas investments and could result in capital expenditures different from those outlined above. To finance capital spending at Energen Resources, the Company expects to use internally generated cash flow supplemented by its credit facilities. The Company also may issue long-term debt and equity periodically to replace short-term obligations, enhance liquidity and provide for permanent financing. The Company currently has no plans for the issuance of equity.

Discontinued Operations
In March 2014, Energen Resources completed the sale on its North Louisiana/East Texas natural gas and oil properties for $30.3 million (subject to closing adjustments). The sale had an effective date of December 1, 2013, and the proceeds from the sale were used to repay short-term obligations. During the third quarter of 2013, Energen Resources classified these natural gas and oil properties as held-for-sale and reflected the associated operating results in discontinued operations. Energen Resources recognized a non-cash impairment writedown on these properties in the first quarter of 2014 of $1.7 million pre-tax to adjust the carrying amount of these properties to their fair value based on an estimate of the selling price of the properties. This non-cash impairment writedown is reflected in loss on disposal of discontinued operations in the three months ended March 31, 2014. Energen Resources also recognized non-cash impairment writedowns on these properties in the third and fourth quarters of 2013 of $24.6 million pre-tax and $5.2 million pre-tax, respectively. At December 31, 2013, proved reserves associated with Energen’s North Louisiana/East Texas properties totaled 23 Bcf of natural gas and 91 MBbl of oil.

In October 2013, Energen Resources completed the sale of its Black Warrior Basin coalbed methane properties in Alabama for $160 million (subject to closing adjustments). The Company will recordrecorded a pre-tax gain on the sale of approximately $35 million in the fourth quarter of 2013 which was reflected in gain on disposal of discontinued operations in the year ended December 31, 2013. The sale had an effective date of July 1, 2013, and the proceeds from the sale were used to repay short-term obligations. The property was classified as held-for saleheld-for-sale and asreflected in discontinued operations during the third quarter of 2013. At December 31, 2012, proved reserves associated with Energen’s Black Warrior Basin properties totaled 97 Bcf of natural gas.

DuringNatural Gas Distribution
In April 2014, Energen signed a stock purchase agreement to sell Alagasco to The Laclede Group, Inc. (Laclede) for $1.6 billion, subject to closing adjustments, which includes an estimated $1.28 billion in cash and the third quarterassumption of 2013,$320 million in debt. This sale is expected to close during 2014. Energen Resources classified its North Louisiana/East Texas natural gas and oil properties as held-for-sale and as discontinued operations and began marketing these assets. Energen Resources recognized a non-cash impairment writedown on these properties in the third quarter of 2013 of $24.6 million pre-taxplans to adjust the carrying amount of these properties to their fair value based on expected future discounteduse cash flows. Significant assumptions in valuing the proved reserves included the reserve quantities, anticipated operating costs, anticipated production taxes, future expected natural gas prices and basis differentials, anticipated production declines, and a discount rate of 10 percent commensurate with the risk of the underlying cash flow estimates. This nonrecurring impairment writedown is classified as Level 3 fair value. The Company anticipates the sale being completed within the next twelve-months and using the proceeds from the sale to repayreduce long-term and short-term obligations. At December 31, 2012, proved reserves associated with Energen’s North Louisiana/ East Texas properties totaled 20 Bcf of natural gas and 51 MBbl of oil.
During the first quarter of 2012, Energen Resources recognized a non-cash impairment writedown on certain properties in East Texas of $21.5 million pre-tax to adjust the carrying amount of these properties to their fair value based on expected future discounted cash flows. This non-cash impairment writedown is reflected in loss from discontinued operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2013. The impairment was caused by the impact of lower future natural gas prices. This nonrecurring impairment writedown is classified as Level 3 fair value.indebtedness.

Natural Gas Distribution
Alagasco is subject to regulation by the Alabama Public Service Commission (APSC) which established the Rate Stabilization and Equalization (RSE) rate-setting process in 1983. Alagasco’s current allowed range of return on average common equity is 13.15 percent to 13.65 percent through December 31, 2013. The Company’s current RSE order had an originalhas a term extending through December 31, 2014. At its meeting on November 5, 2013,September 30, 2018 and will continue beyond September 30, 2018, unless the APSC votedenters an order to make certain RSEthe contrary in a manner consistent with law. In the event of unforeseen circumstances, whether physical or economic, of the nature of force majeure and including a change in control the APSC and Alagasco will consult in good faith with respect to modifications, effectiveif any. Effective January 1, 2014, which are described as follows. The term of the order is extended through September 30, 2018. Alagasco’s allowed range of return on average common equity will beis 10.5 percent to 10.95 percent with an adjusting point of 10.8 percent. The previous allowed range of return on average common equity was 13.15 percent to 13.65 percent through December 31, 2013. Alagasco is eligible to receive a performance basedperformance-based adjustment of 5 basis points to the return on equity adjusting point, based on meeting certain customer satisfaction criteria. The equity upon which a return will be permitted will becannot exceed 56.5 percent with Alagasco allowedof total capitalization, subject to budget at the cap. Given existing economic conditions, Alagasco expects only modest growth in equity supporting Alagasco’s investment in its distribution system and support systems devoted to public service as annual dividends are typically paid by the utility.certain adjustments.

On June 28, 2010, the APSC approved a reduction in depreciation rates, effective June 1, 2010, for Alagasco with the revised prospective composite depreciation rate approximating 3.1 percent. Related to the lower depreciation rates, Alagasco refunded to eligible customers approximately $25.6 million of refundable negative salvage costs through a one-time bill credit in July 2010.

33



Refunds of negative salvage costs to customers through lower tariff rates were $14.5$14.2 million, $16.3 million, $14.2 million, $22.2 million and $2.7 million for the periods January through SeptemberMarch 2014, the years ended December 31, 2013, January through December 2012, January through December 2011 and in December 2010, respectively. Alagasco anticipates refunding approximately $16.312.4 million of refundable negative salvage costs through lower tariff rates over the next twelve months. An additional estimated $4128.8 million of refundable negative salvage costs will be refunded to eligible customers on a declining basis through 2019 through lower tariff rates over a seven year period beginning January 1, 2013.rates. The total amount refundable to customers is subject to adjustments over the entire nineremaining five year period for charges made to the Enhanced Stability Reserve (ESR) and

29



other commission-approvedAPSC approved charges. The refunds as of September 2013March 31, 2014 and the remaining amount refundable over the entire nine year period are due to a re-estimation of future removal costs provided for through the prior depreciation rates. The re-estimation was primarily the result of Alagasco’s actual removal cost experience, combined with technology improvements and Alagasco’s system efficiency improvements, during the five years prior to the approval of the reduction in depreciation rates.

Alagasco is a mature utility operating in a slow-growth service area which includes municipalities that have in recent years experienced population declines. Alagasco’s average customer count for 2012 declined approximately 0.6 percent from 2011 and reflected a moderation in decline over the five-year trend. Other factors impacting Alagasco’s average customer count include recent warmer weather trends, enhanced credit and collection efforts and the loss of customers due to a 2011 weather event. Alagasco monitors the bad debt reserve and makes adjustments as required based on its evaluation of receivables which are impacted by natural gas prices, weather conditions and the underlying current and future economic conditions facing the utility’s customer base. During the nine months ended September 30, 2013, Alagasco reduced the bad debt reserve by approximately $0.4 million primarily due to certain aged receivables transitioned to the utility’s long-term collections, in addition to the impact of its collection related initiatives.

Alagasco maintains an investment in storage gas that is expected to average approximately $26$40 million in 20132014 but will vary depending upon the price of natural gas. During 2013,2014, Alagasco plans to invest an estimated $91approximately $74 million in capital expenditures for the normal needs of its distribution, and support systems and for technology-related projects designedand the construction of a service center to improve customer service.replace the Metro Operations Center sold during 2013. The utility anticipates funding these capital requirements through internally generated capital and the utilization of its credit facilities. Alagasco also may issue long-term debt periodically to replace short-term obligations, enhance liquidity and provide for permanent financing.

The Company received approximately $13.8 million pre-tax in cash from the sale of this property. TheDuring the third quarter of 2013, the gain on the sale was recognized in other income and a related reduction in revenues was recognized to defer the gain as a regulatory liability pending review by the APSC. Based uponIn conjunction with the November 5, 2013 review byreceipt of the rate order from the APSC on December 20, 2013, Alagasco will recognizerecognized the deferred revenues from thethis sale in the fourth quarter of 2013. Effective upon the sale of the Metro Operations Center, Alagasco leased the facility from the purchaser for a period of approximately 20 months.

Derivative Commodity Instruments

Such instruments may include over-the-counter (OTC) swaps collars and basis hedgesswaps typically executed with investment and commercial banks and energy-trading firms. At September 30, 2013March 31, 2014, the counterparty agreements under which the Company had active positions did not include collateral posting requirements. Energen Resources was in a net gain position with seventwo of its active counterparties and in a net loss position with the remaining sixtwelve at September 30, 2013March 31, 2014. The Company is at risk for economic loss based upon the creditworthiness of its counterparties.

As of September 30, 2013, Alagasco had no derivative instruments. As of December 31, 2012, Alagasco had $2.6 million of derivative instruments which were classified as Level 2 fair values and included in the above table as current liabilities. Alagasco had no derivative instruments classified as Level 3 fair values as of December 31, 2012.

Level 3 assets and liabilities as of September 30, 2013March 31, 2014, represent an immaterial amount of total assets and liabilities. Changes in fair value primarily result from price changes in the underlying commodity. The Company has prepared a sensitivity analysis to evaluate the hypothetical effect that changes in the prices used to estimate fair value would have on the fair value of its derivative instruments. The Company estimates that a 10 percent increase or decrease in commodity prices would result in an approximate $2218 million change in the fair value of open Level 3 derivative contracts. The resulting impact upon the results of operations would be an approximate $2218 million associated with open Level 3 mark-to-market derivative contracts. Cash flowLiquidity requirements to meet the obligation would not be significantly impacted as gains and losses on the derivative contracts would be similarly offset by sales at the spot market price.

In July 2010, the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (Dodd-Frank Act) was signed into law. Title VII of the Dodd-Frank Act establishes federal oversight and regulation of the over-the-counter derivatives markets and participants in such markets and requires the Commodities Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) and the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) to promulgate implementing rules and regulations. The Dodd-Frank Act imposes certain margin, clearing and trade execution requirements. Energen’s derivative transactions qualify for the end-user exception which exempts them from certain Dodd-Frank Act margin and exchange clearing requirements pursuant to final regulations adopted by the CFTC and SEC and published in the Federal Register on July 19, 2012. However, the Company could experience increased costs and reduced liquidity in the markets as a result of the new rules and regulations, which could reduce hedging opportunities and negatively affect the Company’s revenues and cash flows.

Credit Facilities and Working Capital
On October 30, 2012, Energen and Alagasco entered into $1,250 million$1.25 billion and $100 million, respectively, five-year syndicated unsecured credit facilities (syndicated credit facilities) with domestic and foreign lenders. EnergenEnergen’s obligations under the $1,250 million$1.25 billion syndicated credit facility are unconditionally guaranteed by Energen Resources. There are certain restrictive covenants including a financial covenant with a maximum consolidated debt to capitalization ratio of not more than 65 percent for both the Company and Alagasco.

At September 30, 2013,March 31, 2014, the Company reported negative working capital of $1,008.7771.5 million arising from current liabilities of $1,541.31,210.5 million exceeding current assets of $532.6439.0 million. The negative working capital is primarily due to a $25836 million increase in borrowings during the year-to-date 2013three months ended March 31, 2014 and a $628 million increase in borrowings during 2012 partially offset by a $104 million decrease in borrowings during 2013 under the syndicated unsecured credit facilities and in support of Energen’s capital projects. Generally Accepted Accounting Principlesaccepted accounting principles require short-term classification as short term for obligations such as these that are subject to the execution of individual notes with maturity dates less than one year. The syndicated unsecured credit facilities were entered into on October 30, 2012 and have a five-year term. In addition, Energen Resources received $160 million (subject to closing adjustments) on the sale of its Black Warrior Basin coalbed methane properties in October 2013. Accordingly, the Company believes that it has adequate financing capacity available for its expected liquidity needs.

Working capital of Energen is also influenced by the fair value of the Company’s derivative financial instruments associated with future production. Energen’s accounts receivable and accounts payable at September 30, 2013March 31, 2014 include $12.33.4 million and $31.952.6 million, respectively, associated with its derivative financial instruments. Working capital of Alagasco is additionally impacted by the recovery and pass-through of regulatory items and the seasonality of Alagasco’s business and reflects an expected pass-through to rate payers of $16.312.4 million in refundable negative salvage costs representing a reduction in future revenues through lower tariff rates. Energen and Alagasco rely upon cash flows from operations supplemented by their syndicated unsecured credit facilities to fund working capital needs. Negative working capital is expected to be positively impacted from the sale of Alagasco as previously discussed.

Credit Ratings
On April 26, 2013,8, 2014, following the announced sale of Alagasco, Moody’s InvestorInvestors Service updated its credit opinion for Energen and Alagasco confirminglowered Energen’s senior unsecured credit rating as investment gradefrom Baa3 to Ba1 with a negative outlook. Alagasco’s senior unsecured credit rating, waswhich is investment grade with a negative outlook, has been placed under review. On December 16, 2013, Standard & Poor’s (S&P) lowered one notch but remainsits credit ratings for Energen and Alagasco from investment grade with a stable outlook to investment grade with a negative outlook. On April 9, 2014, S&P placed

S&P expects to resolve the CreditWatch around the time of the close of the sale of Alagasco.

Dividends
Energen expects to pay annual cash dividendsEnergen’s dividend policy is under review in connection with the pending sale of $0.58Alagasco. Dividends for the first quarter of 2014 were $0.15 per share on the Company’s common stock in 2013.and a $0.15 per share dividend has been declared for the second quarter of 2014. Subsequent to the sale of Alagasco, the Company expects to substantially reduce the amount of its dividend payments with a focus on further development and exploration of its oil and natural gas properties. The amount and timing of all dividend payments is subject to the discretion of the Board of Directors and is based upon business conditions, results of operations, financial conditions and other factors.

Contractual Cash Obligations
In the course of ordinary business activities, Energen enters into a variety of contractual cash obligations and other commitments. Except as discussed below, thereThere have been no material changes to the contractual cash obligations of the Company since December 31, 2012.2013.

Other Commitments
During the third quarter of 2010, Energen Resources received preliminary findings from the Taxation and Revenue Department (the Department) of the State of New Mexico relating to its audit, conducted on behalf of the Office of Natural Resources Revenue (ONRR), of federal oil and gas leases in New Mexico. The audit covered periods from January 2004 through December 2008 and included a review of the computation and payment of royalties due on minerals removed from specified U.S. federal leases. The ONRR has proposed certain changes in the method of determining allowable deductions of transportation, fuel and processing costs from royalties due under the terms of the related leases.

As a result of the audit, Energen Resources has been ordered by the ONRR to pay additional royalties on the specified U.S. federal leases in the amount of $142,000 and restructure its accounting for all federal leases in two counties in New Mexico from March 1, 2004 forward. The Company preliminarily estimates that application of the Order to all of the Company’s New Mexico federal leases would result in ONRR claims for up to approximately $23 million of additional royalties plus interest and penalties for the period from March 1, 2004 forward. The preliminary findings and subsequent Order (issued April 25, 2011) are contrary to deductions allowed under previous audits, retroactive in application and inconsistent with the Company’s understanding of industry practice. The Company is vigorously contesting the Order and has requested additional information from the ONRR and the Department to assist the Company in evaluating the ONRR Order and the Department’s findings. Management is unable, at this time, to determine a range of reasonably possible losses as a result of this Order, and no amount has been accrued as of September 30, 2013March 31, 2014.

On April 4, 2013, a New Mexico corporate tax bill was signed into law which gradually reduces the New Mexico state income tax rate from the current 7.6 percent to 5.9 percent over a five year period.  The Company recognized a $1.6 million income tax benefit during the second quarter of 2013, the period the law was enacted, to reflect the impact of this change.

Some of these include, but are not limited to, economic and competitive conditions, production levels, reserve levels, energy markets, supply and demand for and the price of energy commodities including oil, natural gas liquids and natural gas, liquids, fluctuations in the weather, drilling risks, costs associated with compliance with environmental and regulatory obligations, inflation rates, legislative and regulatory changes, financial market conditions, the Company’s ability to access the capital markets, acts of nature, sabotage, terrorism (including cyber-attacks) and other similar acts that disrupt operations or cause damage greater than covered by insurance, future business decisions, the proposed sale of Alagasco to The Laclede Group, Inc., utility customer growth and retention and usage per customer, litigation results and other factors and uncertainties discussed elsewhere in this report and in the Company’s other public filings and press releases, all of which are difficult to predict. While it is not possible to predict

33



or identify all the factors that could cause the Company’s actual results to differ materially from expected or historical results, the Company has identified certain risk factors which may affect the Company’s future business and financial performance.

Except as otherwise disclosed, the forward-looking statements do not reflect the impact of possible or pending acquisitions, investments, divestitures or restructurings. The absence of errors in input data, calculations and formulas used in estimates, assumptions and forecasts cannot be guaranteed. Neither the Company nor Alagasco undertakes any obligation to correct or update any forward-looking statements whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

37



Commodity prices for crude oil and natural gas are volatile, and a substantial reduction in commodity prices could adversely affect the Company’s results and the carrying value of its oil and natural gas properties: The Company and Alagasco are significantly influenced by commodity prices. Historical markets for oil, natural gas liquids and natural gas liquids have been volatile. Energen Resources’ revenues, operating results, profitability and cash flows depend primarily upon the prices realized for its oil, natural gas liquids and natural gas liquid production. Additionally, downward commodity price trends may impact expected cash flows from future production and potentially reduce the carrying value of Company-owned oil and natural gas properties. Alagasco’s competitive position and customer demand is significantly influenced by prices for natural gas which are passed-through to customers.

Market conditions or a downgrade in the credit ratings of the Company or its subsidiaries could negatively impact its cost of and ability to access capital for future development and working capital needs: The Company and its subsidiaries rely on access to credit markets. The availability and cost of credit market access is significantly influenced by market events and rating agency evaluations for lenders, the Company and its subsidiaries. In addition to operating results, business decisions relating to recapitalization, refinancing, restructuring, acquisition and disposition (including by sale, spin-off or distribution) transactions involving the Company, Energen Resources or Alagasco may negatively impact market and rating agency considerations regarding the credit of the Company or its subsidiaries, and the management of the Company periodically considers these types of transactions. Market volatility and credit market disruption may severely limit credit availability and issuer credit ratings can change rapidly. Events negatively affecting credit ratings and credit market liquidity could increase borrowing costs, limit availability of funds to the Company and adversely affect the price of outstanding debt securities.

Energen Resources’ hedging activities may prevent Energen Resources from benefiting fully from price increases and expose Energen Resources to other risks, including counterparty credit risk: Although Energen Resources makes use of futures, swaps, options, collars and fixed-price contracts to mitigate price risk, fluctuations in future oil, natural gas liquids and natural gas liquids prices could materially affect the Company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows; furthermore, such risk mitigation activities may cause the Company’s financial position and results of operations to be materially different from results that would have been obtained had such risk mitigation activities not occurred. The effectiveness of such risk mitigation assumes that counterparties maintain satisfactory credit quality. The effectiveness of such risk mitigation also assumes that actual sales volumes will generally meet or exceed the volumes subject to the futures, swaps, options, collars and fixed-price contracts. A substantial failure to meet sales volume targets, whether caused by miscalculations, weather events, natural disaster, accident, mechanical failure, criminal act or otherwise, could leave Energen Resources financially exposed to its counterparties and result in material adverse financial consequences to Energen Resources and the Company. The adverse effect could be increased if the adverse event was widespread enough to move market prices against Energen Resources’ position. In addition, various existing and pending financial reform rules and regulations could have an adverse effect on the ability of Energen Resources to use derivative instruments which could have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

The Company is exposed to counterparty credit risk as a result of its concentrated customer base: Revenues and related accounts receivable from oil and natural gas operations primarily are generated from the sale of produced oil, natural gas liquids and natural gas liquids to a small number of energy marketing companies. Such sales are typically made on an unsecured credit basis with payment due the month following delivery. This concentration of sales to a limited number of customers in the energy marketing industry has the potential to affect the Company’s overall exposure to credit risk, either positively or negatively, based on changes in economic, industry or other conditions specific to a single customer or to the energy marketing industry generally. Energen Resources considers the credit quality of its customers and, in certain instances, may require credit assurances such as a deposit, letter of credit or parent guarantee.

The Company’s operations depend upon the use of third partythird-party facilities and an interruption of its ability to utilize these facilities may adversely affect its financial condition and results of operations: Energen Resources delivers to and Alagasco is served by third partythird-party facilities. These facilities include third partythird-party oil and natural gas gathering, transportation, processing and storage facilities. Energen Resources relies upon such facilities for access to markets for its production. Alagasco relies upon such facilities for access to natural gas supplies. Such facilities are typically limited in number and geographically concentrated. An extended interruption of access to or service from these facilities, whether caused by weather events, natural disaster, accident, mechanical failure, criminal act or otherwise could result in material adverse financial consequences to Energen Resources, Alagasco and the Company.


34



The Company’s oil and natural gas reserves are estimates, and actual future production may vary significantly and may also be negatively impacted by its inability to invest in production on planned timelines: There are numerous uncertainties inherent in estimating quantities of proved oil and natural gas reserves and in projecting future rates of production and timing of development expenditures. The total amount or timing of actual future production may vary significantly from reserve and production estimates. In the event Energen Resources is unable to fully invest its planned development, acquisition and exploratory expenditures, future operating revenues, production, and proved reserves could be negatively affected. The drilling of development and exploratory wells can involve significant risks, including those related to timing, success rates and cost overruns, and these risks can be affected by lease and rig availability, complex geology and other factors. Anticipated drilling plans and capital expenditures may also change

38



due to weather, manpower and equipment availability, changing emphasis by management and a variety of other factors which could result in actual drilling and capital expenditures being substantially different than currently planned.

The Company’s operations involve operational risk including risk of personal injury, property damage and environmental damage and its insurance policies do not cover all such risks: Inherent in the oil and natural gas production activities of Energen Resources and the natural gas distribution activities of Alagasco are a variety of hazards and operation risks, such as:

Pipeline and storage leaks, ruptures and spills;
Equipment malfunctions and mechanical failures;
Fires and explosions;
Well blowouts, explosions and cratering; and
Soil, surface water or groundwater contamination from petroleum constituents, hydraulic fracturing fluid, or produced water.

Such events could result in loss of human life, significant damage to property, environmental pollution, impairment of operations and substantial financial losses. The location of certain of our pipeline and storage facilities near populated areas, including residential areas, commercial business centers and industrial sites, could increase the level of damages resulting from these risks. In accordance with customary industry practices, the Company maintains insurance against some, but not all, of these risks and losses and the insurance coverages are subject to retention levels and coverage limits. The occurrence of any of these events could adversely affect Energen Resources’, Alagasco’s and the Company’s financial positions, results of operations and cash flows.

Alagasco operates in a limited service territory and is therefore subject to concentrated regional risks which may negatively affect Alagasco’s financial condition and results of operations: Alagasco’s utility customers are geographically concentrated in central and north Alabama. Significant economic, weather, natural disaster, criminal act or other events that adversely affect this region could adversely affect Alagasco and the Company.

The Company is subject to numerous federal, state and local laws and regulations that may require significant expenditures or impose significant restrictions on its operations: Energen and Alagasco are subject to extensive federal, state and local regulation which significantly influences operations. Although the Company believes that operations generally comply with applicable laws and regulations, failure to comply could result in the suspension or termination of operations and subject the Company to administrative, civil and criminal penalties. Federal, state and local legislative bodies and agencies frequently exercise their respective authority to adopt new laws and regulations and to amend, modify and interpret existing laws and regulations. Such changes can subject the Company to significant tax or cost increases and can impose significant restrictions and limitations on the Company’s operations.

The Company’s business could be negatively impacted by security threats, including cybersecurity threats, and related disruptions: The Company relies on its information technology infrastructure to process, transmit and store electronic information critical for the efficient operation of its business and day-to-day operations. All information systems are potentially vulnerable to security threats, including hacking, viruses, other malicious software, and other unlawful attempts to disrupt or gain access to such systems. Breaches in the Company’s information technology infrastructure could lead to a material disruption in its business, including the theft, destruction, loss, misappropriation or release of confidential data or other business information, and may have a material adverse effect on the Company’s operations, financial position and results of operations.

Successful completion of the Company’s pending sale of Alagasco is subject to various risks and conditions: In April 2014, the Company signed a stock purchase agreement to sell Alagasco to The Laclede Group, Inc. for $1.6 billion, subject to closing adjustments, which includes an estimated $1.28 billion in cash and the assumption of $320 million in debt. This sale is expected to close during 2014. The Company plans to use cash proceeds from the sale to reduce long-term and short-term indebtedness. The sale of Alagasco involves various inherent risks, such as the Company’s ability to obtain regulatory approvals from the Alabama Public Service Commission and under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvement Act; the timing of and conditions imposed upon the Company by regulators in connection with such approvals; and satisfaction by the parties of contractual conditions to closing.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
     

Energen Resources’ major market risk exposure is in the pricing applicable to its oil and natural gas production. Historically, prices received for oil and natural gas production have been volatile because of seasonal weather patterns, world and national supply-and-demand factors and general economic conditions. Crude oil prices also are affected by quality differentials, by worldwide political developments and by actions of the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries. Basis differentials, like the underlying commodity prices, can be volatile because of regional supply-and-demand factors, including seasonal factors and the availability and price of transportation to consuming areas.

Energen Resources periodically enters into derivative commodity instruments to hedge its exposure to price fluctuations to its estimatedon oil, natural gas liquids and natural gas liquids production. In prior years, Alagasco entered into cash flow derivative commodity instruments to hedge its gas supply exposure. Such instruments may include over-the-counter swaps collars and basis hedgesswaps typically executed with major energy derivative product specialists.investment and commercial banks and energy-trading firms. The counterparties to the commodity instruments are investment banks and energy-trading firms and are believed to be creditworthy by the Company. The Company is at risk for economic loss based upon the creditworthiness of its counterparties. All hedge transactions are subject to the Company’s risk management policy, approved by the Board of Directors, which does not permit speculative positions. The Company formally documents all relationships between hedging instruments and hedged items at the inception of the hedge, as well as its risk management objective and strategy for undertaking the hedge. As of September 30, 2013March 31, 2014, the maximum term over which Energen Resources has hedged exposures to the variability of cash flows is through December 31, 2015.

A failure to meet sales volume targets at Energen Resources or gas supply targets at Alagasco due to miscalculations, weather events, natural disasters, accidents, mechanical failure, criminal act or otherwise could leave the Company or Alagasco exposed to its counterparties in commodity hedging contracts and result in material adverse financial losses.

See Note 3, Derivative Commodity Instruments, in the Notes to Unaudited Condensed Financial Statements for details related to the Company’s hedging activities.

The Company’s interest rate exposure as of September 30, 2013March 31, 2014, primarily relates to its syndicated credit facilities with variable interest rates. The weighted average interest rate for amounts outstanding at September 30, 2013March 31, 2014 was 1.361.40 percent. The Company’s interest rate exposure on long-term debt as of September 30, 2013March 31, 2014, was minimal since approximately 9186 percent of long-term debt obligations were at fixed rates.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
     

Energen Corporation
(a)Our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) are designed to provide reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives and, as of the end of the period covered by this report, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective at that reasonable assurance level.

(b)During the most recent fiscal quarter covered by this report there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Alabama Gas Corporation
(a)Our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) are designed to provide reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives and, as of the end of the period covered by this report, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were notare effective at that reasonable assurance level due to the existence of a material weakness in our internal control overlevel.
financial reporting which is described below.

A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of our annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.

Alabama Gas Corporation’s principal accounting officer failed to operate within the Company’s code of conduct and engaged in an override of internal controls during the second and third quarters of 2013. This officer requested that two vendors delay submission of invoices and bypassed controls for the timely accrual of liabilities and operating expenses for services rendered. Management has determined that the impact of this override resulted in an immaterial understatement of expenses for the quarter ended June 30, 2013 of approximately $76,000. Since the override was identified by management prior to preparation of financial statements for the quarter ended September 30, 2013, it did not result in misstatement for that quarter. However, an override of internal controls by a member of senior management could result in misstatements impacting all accounts and disclosures that would result in a material misstatement of the financial statements that would not be prevented or detected. Accordingly, our management has determined that this control deficiency constitutes a material weakness.

The principal accounting officer who overrode the control has separated from Alabama Gas Corporation and a successor has been elected by the Alabama Gas Corporation Board of Directors. The importance of timely invoicing has been reviewed with the Alabama Gas Corporation officers and with the two vendors involved.

PART II: OTHER INFORMATION
 

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

Under oversightEnergen and its affiliates are, from time to time, parties to various pending or threatened legal proceedings. Certain of the Site Remediation Section of the Railroad Commission of Texas, the Company is currentlythese lawsuits include claims for punitive damages in the process of cleanup and remediation of oil and gas wastes in nine reserve pits in Mitchell County, Texas. The Company estimates that the cleanup, remediation and related costs will approximate $1.8 million of which $1.6 million has been incurred and $0.2 million has been reserved.
In 2012, Alagasco respondedaddition to an EPA Request for Information Pursuant to Section 104 of CERCLA relating to the EPA’s investigation of a site which it refers to as the 35th Avenue Superfund Site located in Birmingham, Jefferson County, Alabama.  The Request related to a former site of a manufactured gas distribution facility owned by Alagasco and located in the vicinity of the 35th Avenue Superfund Site. In September 2013, Alagasco received from EPA a General Notice Letter and Invitation to Conduct a Removal Action at the 35th Avenue Superfund Site.  The letter identifies Alagasco as a potentially responsible party (PRP) under CERCLA for the cleanup of the Site or costs the EPA incurs in cleaning up the Site.  The EPA also offered the PRP group the opportunity to conduct Phase I of the proposed removal action which involved removal activities at approximately 50 residences that purportedly exceed certain risk levels for contamination.  Alagasco has requested additional information from EPA regarding its designation as a PRP, and an opportunity to discuss this designation further with EPA. Alagasco is unable to determine the extent, if any, of its potential liability with respect to the proposed removal action and no amount has been accrued as of September 30, 2013.

other specified relief. Various other pending or threatened legal proceedings are in progress currently, and the Company has accrued a provision for estimated liability.currently. See Note 8, Commitments and Contingencies, in the Notes to Financial Statements for further discussion with respect to legal proceedings.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

Except as discussed below, there have been no material changes to the risk factors of the Company since December 31, 2013.
