 GAAP Disclaimer
PSEG presents Operating Earnings in addition to its Income from Continuing
Operations/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 Income from Continuing
Operations/Net Income because it excludes gains or losses associated
with Nuclear Decommissioning Trust (NDT), Mark-to-Market (MTM)
accounting, and other material one-time items. 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.
Slides A and B at the end of this presentation include a list of
items excluded
from Income from Continuing Operations/Net Income to reconcile to Operating
Earnings, with a reference to that slide included on each of the
slides where the
non-GAAP information appears.

Power recognized a liability in the quarter related to its discovery that it
incorrectly calculated certain components of its cost-based bids for
certain generating units in the PJM energy market, with resulting over-collection of revenues
related to its fossil fleet. Power has notified FERC, PJM and the PJM Independent
Market Monitor of this issue, which is still under review; we are unable
to estimate the ultimate impact or predict any resulting penalties or other costs
