ITEM 8.01 OTHER EVENTS
On October 26, 2005, Washington Gas Light Company (Washington Gas or the Company), a wholly owned
subsidiary of WGL Holdings, Inc., purchased a new weather insurance policy covering its exposure to warmer-than-normal
weather in the District of Columbia. This new policy has a three-year term that expires on
September 30, 2008. The Company’s former policy, which covered all three of its jurisdictions, expired on September 30, 2005.
The policy covers Washington Gas’ estimated net revenue exposure in the District of Columbia to
variations in heating degree days (HDDs), subject to a maximum annual payment of $6.55 million
(pre-tax) and cumulative maximum payments of $13.10 million (pre-tax) over the three-year policy period.
Pre-tax income is provided in the amount of approximately $12,600 for each HDD warmer-than-normal
during each fiscal year.
The policy’s pre-tax cost will be $2.15 million in fiscal year 2006, and $1.735 million in
each of fiscal years 2007 and 2008. No portion of the cost or benefit of this policy is considered
in the regulatory process.
