Financial Overview

Strategic Development

13

•Electric Utility segment earnings decreased $18.6 million primarily as a result of a) $14.3 million decrease in
operating income driven by lower wholesale revenue, higher operating expenses and depreciation, partially offset by
higher retail revenue and lower purchased power; and b) an $11.6 million increase in interest expense.

•Other segment earnings decreased $7.8 million primarily as a result of increased interest from the equity units issued
in May and a favorable 2008 impact from the reversal of interest expense related to unrecognized tax benefits.

•A 21.0 million increase in the average number of shares outstanding since the third quarter of 2008 resulted in $0.11
per share dilution

14

•Increased Electric Utility segment earnings of $6.7 million mainly attributable to the inclusion of GMO’s regulated utility
operations for the full period in 2009;

•Increased Other segment earnings of $17.6 million including a $16.0 million tax benefit from an audit settlement in
GMO’s non-utility operation;

•Loss of $2.3 million in 2009 related to the discontinued operations of Strategic Energy compared to earnings of $35.0
million for the first nine months of 2008.

•Increase of 32.3 million average dilutive shares outstanding resulted in dilution of $0.36 per share.
