Gross margin is a financial measure that is not calculated in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). Gross margin, as used by Great Plains Energy, is defined as operating revenues less fuel, purchased power and transmission of electricity by others. The Company’s expense for fuel, purchased power and transmission of electricity by others, offset by wholesale sales margin, is subject to recovery through cost adjustment mechanisms, except for KCP&L’s Missouri retail operations. As a result, operating revenues increase or decrease in relation to a significant portion of these expenses. Management believes that gross margin provides a more meaningful basis for evaluating the Electric Utility segment’s operations across periods than operating revenues because gross margin excludes the revenue effect of fluctuations in these expenses. Gross margin is used internally to measure performance against budget and in reports for management and the Board of Directors. The Company’s definition of gross margin may differ from similar terms used by other companies. A reconciliation to GAAP operating revenues is provided in the table above.

Credit Metric Reconciliation to GAAP Funds from operations (FFO) to adjusted debt is a financial measure that is not calculated in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). FFO to adjusted debt, as used by Great Plains Energy, is defined in accordance with Standard & Poor’s methodology used for calculating FFO to debt. The numerator of the ratio is defined as net cash from operating activities (GAAP) plus non-GAAP adjustments related to operating leases, hybrid securities, post-retirement benefit obligations, capitalized interest, power purchase agreements, asset retirement obligations, changes in working capital and decommissioning fund contributions. The denominator of the ratio is defined as the sum of debt balances (GAAP) plus non-GAAP adjustments related to some of the same items adjusted for in the numerator and other adjustments related to securitized receivables and accrued interest. Management believes that FFO to adjusted debt provides a meaningful way to better understand the Company’s credit profile. FFO to adjusted debt is used internally to help evaluate the possibility of a change in the Company’s credit rating. 2009 2010 2011 LTM* Funds from operations Net cash from operating activities 335.4$ 552.1$ 443.0$ 561.8$ Adjustments to reconcile net cash from operating activities to FFO: Operating leases 7.5 8.7 11.1 10.1 Intermediate hybrids reported as debt 14.4 28.8 28.8 14.4 Intermediate hybrids reported as equity (0.8) (0.8) (0.8) (0.8) Post-retirement benefit obligations 8.3 24.4 65.3 67.2 Capitalized interest (37.7) (28.5) (5.8) (6.6) Power purchase agreements 12.0 8.3 1.6 0.8 Asset retirement obligations (6.0) (7.0) (6.6) (6.6) Reclassification of working-capital changes 37.9 95.1 (0.8) 37.3 US decommissioning fund contributions (3.7) (3.7) (3.4) (3.3) Other adjustments 1.5 - - - Total adjustments 33.4 125.3 89.4 112.5 Funds from operations 368.8$ 677.4$ 532.4$ 674.3$ Adjusted Debt Notes payable 252.0$ 9.5$ 22.0$ 31.0$ Collateralized note payable 95.0 95.0 190.0 Commercial paper 186.6 263.5 267.0 427.0 Current maturities of long-term debt 1.3 485.7 801.4 257.1 Long-term Debt 3,213.0 2,942.7 2,742.3 2,762.9 Total debt 3,652.9 3,796.4 3,927.7 3,668.0 Adjustments to reconcile total debt to adjusted debt: Trade receivables sold or securitized 95.0 Operating leases 139.7 142.5 127.2 120.9 Intermediate hybrids reported as debt (287.5) (287.5) (287.5) Intermediate hybrids reported as equity 19.5 19.5 19.5 19.5 Post-retirement benefit obligations 289.3 280.5 303.1 303.1 Accrued interest not included in reported debt 72.5 75.4 76.9 60.1 Power purchase agreements 50.2 19.6 105.8 120.0 Asset retirement obligations 34.2 41.1 40.4 40.4 Total adjustments 412.9 291.1 385.4 664.0 Adjusted Debt 4,065.8$ 4,087.5$ 4,313.1$ 4,332.0$ FFO / Adjusted Debt 9.1% 16.6% 12.3% 15.6% * Last twelve months as of September 30, 2012 Funds from Operations (FFO) / Adjusted Debt 41 2012 EEI Investor Presentation

Credit Metric Reconciliation to GAAP Funds from operations (FFO) interest coverage ratio is a financial measure that is not calculated in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). FFO interest coverage, as used by Great Plains Energy, is defined in accordance with Standard & Poor’s methodology used for calculating FFO interest coverage. The numerator of the ratio is defined as net cash from operating activities (GAAP) plus non-GAAP adjustments related to operating leases, hybrid securities, post-retirement benefit obligations, capitalized interest, power purchase agreements, asset retirement obligations, changes in working capital and decommissioning fund contributions plus adjusted interest expense (non-GAAP). The denominator of the ratio, adjusted interest expense, is defined as interest charges (GAAP) plus non-GAAP adjustments related to some of the same items adjusted for in the numerator and other adjustments needed to match Standard & Poor’s calculation. Management believes that FFO interest coverage provides a meaningful way to better understand the Company’s credit profile. FFO interest coverage is used internally to help evaluate the possibility of a change in the Company’s credit rating. 2009 2010 2011 LTM* Funds from operations Net cash from operating activities 335.4$ 552.1$ 443.0$ 561.8$ Adjustments to reconcile net cash from operating activities to FFO: Operating leases 7.5 8.7 11.1 10.1 Intermediate hybrids reported as debt 14.4 28.8 28.8 14.4 Intermediate hybrids reported as equity (0.8) (0.8) (0.8) (0.8) Post-retirement benefit obligations 8.3 24.4 65.3 67.2 Capitalized interest (37.7) (28.5) (5.8) (6.6) Power purchase agreements 12.0 8.3 1.6 0.8 Asset retirement obligations (6.0) (7.0) (6.6) (6.6) Reclassification of working-capital changes 37.9 95.1 (0.8) 37.3 US decommissioning fund contributions (3.7) (3.7) (3.4) (3.3) Other adjustments 1.5 Total adjustments 33.4 125.3 89.4 112.5 Funds from operations 368.8$ 677.4$ 532.4$ 674.3$ Interest expense Interest charges 180.9$ 184.8$ 218.4$ 233.2$ Adjustments to reconcile interest charges to adjusted interest expense: Trade receivables sold or securitized 4.8 Operating leases 9.4 8.1 7.7 8.7 Intermediate hybrids reported as debt (14.4) (28.8) (28.8) (21.6) Intermediate hybrids reported as equity 0.8 0.8 0.8 0.8 Post-retirement benefit obligations 21.6 19.4 17.6 17.6 Capitalized interest 37.7 28.5 5.8 6.6 Power purchase agreements 3.2 2.9 6.1 8.0 Asset retirement obligations 8.1 8.7 9.3 9.3 Other adjustments 2.4 (2.4) Total adjustments 73.6 37.2 18.5 29.4 Adjusted interest expense 254.5$ 222.0$ 236.9$ 262.6$ FFO interest coverage (x) 2.4 4.1 3.2 3.6 * Last twelve months as of September 30, 2012 Funds from Operations (FFO) Interest Coverage 42 2012 EEI Investor Presentation

Credit Metric Reconciliation to GAAP Adjusted debt to total adjusted capitalization is a financial measure that is not calculated in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). Adjusted debt to total adjusted capitalization, as used by Great Plains Energy, is defined in accordance with Standard & Poor’s methodology used for calculating the ratio of debt to debt and equity. The numerator of the ratio, adjusted debt, is defined as the sum of debt balances (GAAP) plus non-GAAP adjustments related to securitized receivables, operating leases, hybrid securities, post- retirement benefit obligations, accrued interest, power purchase agreements and asset retirement obligations. The denominator of the ratio, total adjusted capitalization, is defined as the sum of equity balances (GAAP) plus non- GAAP adjustments related to hybrid securities plus the non-GAAP adjusted debt as defined for the numerator. Management believes that adjusted debt to total adjusted capitalization provides a meaningful way to better understand the Company’s credit profile.
