million in 2010. The contributions to our other postretirement benefit plans for 2013, 2014 and 2015
are expected to be approximately $20 million each year.
The $70 million long-term income tax receivable on the Consolidated Balance Sheets represents
the anticipated refunds related to an APS tax accounting method change approved by the Internal
Revenue Service (“IRS”) in the third quarter of 2009. This amount is classified as long-term, as there
remains uncertainty regarding the timing of this cash receipt. Further clarification of the timing is
expected from the IRS within the next twelve months.
Investing Cash Flows
2012 Compared with 2011 Pinnacle West’s consolidated net cash used for investing activities
was $873 million in 2012, compared to $782 million in 2011, an increase of $91 million in net cash
used. The increase in net cash used for investing activities is primarily due to the absence of $55
million in proceeds from the sale of life insurance policies in 2011 and the absence of $45 million in
proceeds from the sale of Pinnacle West’s investment in APSES in 2011.
2011 Compared with 2010 Pinnacle West’s consolidated net cash used for investing activities
was $782 million in 2011, compared to $576 million in 2010, an increase of $206 million in net cash
used. The increase in net cash used for investing activities is primarily due to an increase of $131
million in capital expenditures and a decrease of $126 million in net proceeds from the sales of our non-
utility businesses (see Note 21), partially offset by $55 million of proceeds from the sale of life
insurance policies in 2011.
