(a) Quarterly results can vary depending on, among other things, weather and the forward pricing of power. Accordingly, comparisons among quarters of a year may not be indicative of overall trends and changes in operations.

(b) The sum of the quarterly amounts may not equal annual earnings per share due to changes in the number of common shares outstanding during the year or rounding.

(c) PPL has paid quarterly cash dividends on its common stock in every year since 1946. Future dividends, declared at the discretion of the Board of Directors, will be dependent upon future earnings, cash flows, financial requirements and other factors.

(d) As a result of a reported loss, diluted earnings per share for the three months ended December 31, 2013 exclude incremental shares as they were anti-dilutive.

(e) Fourth quarter of 2013 includes a charge for the termination of the lease of the Colstrip coal-fired electric generating facility in Montana. See Note 8 to the Financial Statements for additional information.

(f) In the third quarter of 2014, the hydroelectric generation facilities of PPL Montana met the criteria as held for sale. Accordingly, the previously reported operating results for these facilities have been reclassified as discontinued operations. See Note 8 to the Financial Statements for additional information.

(g) Fourth quarter of 2014 includes a gain of $137 million (after tax) from the sale of hydroelectric generating facilities of PPL Montana. See Note 8 to the Financial Statements for additional information.
