GAAP Disclaimer
PSEG presents Operating Earnings in addition to its Net Income reported
in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United
States (GAAP). Operating Earnings is a non-GAAP financial measure that
differs from Net Income because it excludes gains or losses associated
with Nuclear Decommissioning Trust (NDT) and Mark-to-Market (MTM)
accounting, the impact of the sale of certain non-core domestic and
international assets and material impairments and lease-transaction-
related charges. PSEG presents Operating Earnings because
management believes that it is appropriate for investors to consider
results excluding these items in addition to the results reported in
accordance with GAAP. PSEG believes that the non-GAAP financial
measure of Operating Earnings provides a consistent and comparable
measure of performance of its businesses to help shareholders
understand performance trends.
This information is not
intended to be
viewed as an alternative to GAAP information. The last two slides in this
presentation include a list of items excluded from Income from Continuing
Operations to reconcile to Operating Earnings, with a reference to that
slide included on each of the slides where the non-GAAP information
appears.
