GAAP Disclaimer
PSEG presents Operating Earnings and Adjusted Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization (EBITDA) in
addition to its Net Income reported in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (GAAP).
Operating Earnings and Adjusted EBITDA are non-GAAP financial measures that differ from Net Income. Non-GAAP Operating
Earnings exclude the impact of returns (losses) associated with the Nuclear Decommissioning Trust (NDT), Mark-to-Market (MTM)
accounting and material one-time items.  Non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA excludes the same items as our non-GAAP Operating
Earnings measure as well as income tax expense, interest expense and depreciation and amortization. The last three slides in this
presentation (Slides A, B and C) include a list of items excluded from Net Income/(Loss) to reconcile to non-GAAP Operating
Earnings and non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA with a reference to those slides included on each of the slides where the non-GAAP
information appears.
Management uses non-GAAP Operating Earnings in its internal analysis, and in communications with investors and analysts, as a
consistent measure for comparing PSEG’s financial performance to previous financial results. Management believes non-GAAP
Adjusted EBITDA is useful to investors and other users of our financial statements in evaluating operating performance because it
provides them with an additional tool to compare business performance across companies and across periods. Management also
believes that non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA is widely used by investors to measure operating performance without regard to items
such as income tax expense, interest expense and depreciation and amortization, which can vary substantially from company to
company depending upon, among other things, the book value of assets, capital structure and whether assets were constructed or
acquired. Non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA also allows investors and other users to assess the underlying financial performance of our
fleet before management’s decision to deploy capital. The presentation of non-GAAP Operating Earnings and non-GAAP Adjusted
EBITDA is intended to complement, and should not be considered an alternative to, the presentation of Net Income, which is an
indicator of financial performance determined in accordance with GAAP. In addition, non-GAAP Operating Earnings and non-GAAP
Adjusted EBITDA as presented in this release may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies.
Due to the forward looking nature of non-GAAP Operating Earnings and non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA guidance, PSEG is unable to
reconcile these non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure.  Management is unable to
project certain reconciling items, in particular MTM and NDT gains (losses), for future periods due to market volatility.

Tax Cuts and Jobs Act:  PSEG well positioned
Our estimates and analysis are preliminary. The SEC has provided companies one year to finalize 2017 accounting requirements.
Further adjustments in 2018 may be required.  
Positive non-utility contribution to earnings, strong balance sheet maintained
and lower customer bills mitigate the impact of T&D investment
