     “During the quarter, Calpine’s power plant operations remained strong, with 97% availability,” stated Calpine CEO and President Peter Cartwright. “Earnings, however, fell short of our expectations – primarily as a result of low market spark spreads attributed in part to mild, below normal weather in several U.S. power markets.

     “We made significant progress on our announced liquidity enhancing program, completing $1.5 billion of liquidity transactions. A portion of these proceeds was used to repurchase $735 million of existing debt. In October, we also redeemed our HIGH TIDES I and II preferred securities.

     “While we cannot predict when power prices will normalize, we are encouraged by an improvement in spark spreads in several of Calpine’s major power markets. Moving forward, Calpine remains committed to advancing our strategy of selling power under long-term contracts, improving our balance sheet through the repurchasing of debt, and enhancing liquidity.”

2004 Third Quarter Results

     In the quarter ended Sept. 30, 2004, Calpine netted approximately $563.3 million of sales of purchased power for hedging and optimization with purchased power expense for hedging and optimization. This was due to the adoption on October 1, 2003, on a prospective basis, of new accounting rules related to presentation of non-trading derivative activity. Without this netting, total revenue would have grown by approximately 17% versus the reported 4% reduction in revenue. For the three months ended Sept. 30, 2004, the company reported earnings per share of $0.05, or net income of $22.3 million, compared to earnings per share of $0.51, or net income of $237.8 million, for the same quarter in the prior year. The results for the third quarter of 2004 include additional tax expense of approximately $78.8 million, which is attributable to the

repatriation of net cash proceeds from Canada to the United States following the sale of oil and gas assets in Canada and which is mostly netted within the discontinued operations gain. The company expects to record a reduction of approximately $66.9 million, or $0.15 per share, of this tax expense, in the fourth quarter of 2004 because of provisions in The American Jobs Creation Act of 2004 signed into law on October 22, 2004.

     Calpine recognized an after-tax gain of $62.6 million, or $0.14 per share, in discontinued operations associated with the sale of the company’s Canadian natural gas reserves and petroleum assets and the sale of its gas reserves in the Colorado Piceance Basin and New Mexico San Juan Basin. The company also recognized an after-tax gain of $0.23 per share on the repurchase of certain debt issuances, compared to a gain of $0.23 per share in the same quarter in 2003.

     Gross profit decreased by $84.5 million, or 25%, to $254.4 million in the three months ended Sept. 30, 2004, primarily due to: i) non-recurring other revenue of $69.4 million recognized in the third quarter of 2003 from the settlement of contract disputes with, and claims against, Enron Corp.; ii) the amortization of $6.2 million in the third quarter of 2004 of the DIG C-20 gain recorded in the fourth quarter of 2003 due to the cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle; iii) soft market fundamentals, which caused total spark spread to not increase commensurately with additional transmission purchase expense, and depreciation costs associated with new power plants coming on-line. During the three months ended Sept. 30, 2004, financial results were affected by a $79.7 million increase in interest expense and distributions on trust preferred securities, as compared to the same period in 2003. This occurred as a result of higher debt balances, higher average interest rates and lower capitalization of interest expense as new plants entered commercial operation. Loss before discontinued operations and cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle was $40.2 million, or $0.09 per share. This loss is primarily due to an effective tax rate increase, which occurred as a result of the sale of oil and gas assets in Canada and due to the repatriation of cash to the United States.

     For the three months ended Sept. 30, 2004, the company generated 29.4 million megawatt-hours, which equated to a baseload capacity factor of 56%, and realized an average spark spread of $21.40 per megawatt-hour. For the same period in 2003, Calpine generated 25.4 million megawatt-hours, which equated to a capacity factor of 60%, and realized an average spark spread of $23.88 per megawatt-hour.

2004 Nine-Month Results

     In the nine months ended Sept. 30, 2004, Calpine netted approximately $1.26 billion of sales of purchased power for hedging and optimization with purchased power expense. This was due to the adoption on October 1, 2003, on a prospective basis, of new accounting rules related to presentation of non-trading derivative activity. Without this netting, total revenue would have grown by approximately 17% versus the reported 1% reduction in revenue. For the nine months ended Sept. 30, 2004, the company reported a loss per share of $0.18, or a net loss of $77.6 million, compared to earnings per share of $0.41, or net income of $162.4 million, for the same period in the prior year. The year to date results for 2004 include additional tax expense of approximately $78.8 million, which is attributable to the repatriation of net cash proceeds from Canada to the United States following the sale of oil and gas assets in Canada and which is mostly netted within the discontinued operations gain. Calpine expects to record a reduction of

approximately $66.9 million, or $0.15 per share, of this tax expense in the fourth quarter of 2004 because of provisions in The American Jobs Creation Act of 2004 signed into law on October 22, 2004.

     Gross profit decreased by $222.9 million, or 34%, to $423.4 million in the nine months ended Sept. 30, 2004, primarily due to: i) non-recurring other revenue of $69.4 million recognized in the third quarter of 2003 from the settlement of contract disputes with, and claims against, Enron Corp.; ii) the amortization of $22.9 million in the first nine months of 2004 of the DIG C-20 gain recorded in the fourth quarter of 2003 due to the cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle; iii) soft market fundamentals, which caused total spark spread to not increase commensurately with additional plant operating expense and transmission purchase expense, and depreciation costs associated with new power plants coming on-line. During the nine months ended Sept. 30, 2004, financial results were affected by a $285.5 million increase in interest expense and distributions on trust preferred securities, as compared to the same period in 2003. This occurred as a result of higher debt balances, higher average interest rates and lower capitalization of interest expense as new plants entered commercial operation. Prior year results benefited from recording $52.8 million (in income from unconsolidated investments in power projects) from termination of a power purchase agreement by the Acadia joint venture.

     Other income increased by $241.7 million during the nine months ended Sept. 30, 2004, as compared to the same period in 2003, primarily due to: i) pre-tax income in the amount of $171.5 million, net of transaction costs and the write-off of unamortized deferred financing costs associated with the restructuring of power purchase agreements for the company’s Newark and Parlin power plants and the sale of an entity holding a power purchase agreement; ii) a $16.4 million pre-tax gain from the restructuring of a long-term gas supply contract net of transaction costs; and iii) a $12.3 million pre-tax gain from the King City restructuring transaction related to the sale of the company’s debt securities that had served as collateral under the King City lease, net of transaction costs. Also, during the nine months ended Sept. 30, 2004, foreign currency transaction losses were $7.5 million, compared to a loss of $36.2 million in the corresponding period in 2003. Calpine recognized a gain of $0.24 per share in the nine months ended Sept. 30, 2004 on the repurchase of certain debt issuances, compared to a gain of $0.25 per share in the same nine-month period in 2003, and loss before discontinued operations and cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle was $167.5 million, or $0.39 per share, in 2004.

     Discontinued operations, net of tax increased by $84.4 million during the nine months ended Sept. 30, 2004, as compared to the same period in 2003, as a result of the sale of oil and gas assets in the United States and Canada during the third quarter of 2004 and the sale of the company’s interest in the Lost Pines facility in the first quarter of 2004.

     For the nine months ended Sept. 30, 2004, the company generated 72.5 million megawatt-hours, which equated to a baseload capacity factor of 51%, and realized an average spark spread of $21.19 per megawatt-hour. For the same period in 2003, Calpine generated 62.1 million megawatt-hours, which equated to a capacity factor of 55%, and realized an average spark spread of $23.90 per megawatt-hour.

(1)   This non-GAAP measure is presented not as a measure of operating results, but rather as a measure of our ability to service debt and to raise additional funds. It should not be construed as an alternative to either (i) income from operations or (ii) cash flows from operating activities. It is defined as net income less income from unconsolidated investments, plus cash received from unconsolidated investments, plus provision for tax, plus interest expense (including distributions on trust preferred securities and one-third of operating lease expense, which is management’s estimate of the component of operating lease expense that constitutes interest expense), plus depreciation, depletion and amortization. The interest, tax and depreciation and amortization components of discontinued operations are added back in calculating EBITDA, as adjusted.
 
(2)   This non-GAAP measure is presented as a further refinement of EBITDA, as adjusted, to reflect the company’s ability to service debt with cash.
 
(3)   Does not include MWh generated by unconsolidated investments in power projects.
 
(4)   From continuing operations.
 
(5)   Amounts based on Calpine’s ownership percentage.
 
(6)   Includes accumulated other comprehensive income (“AOCI”) of $16,456 at September 30, 2004, and $56,594 at December 31, 2003. Excluding AOCI from stockholders’ equity would not change the debt to capitalization ratio for both periods.

APPENDIX D: CONTRACTUAL PORTFOLIO DEFINITIONS The following detailed reports represent several data points for Calpine's power generation portfolio as of September 30, 2004. Estimated Generation Baseload - Estimated generation, in millions of megawatt hours, represents the baseload generation capacity of Calpine's fleet based upon a 95% plant availability level. This availability factor is used to account for scheduled maintenance and other miscellaneous outages. It also takes into account the generation capacity year-by-year as a result of our current estimates of commercial operation dates for those plants currently in construction. Peaking - Estimated generation, in millions of megawatt hours, represents a peaking generation capacity based upon a 30% plant availability and dispatch factor or higher if a plant-specific contract dictates.


 

APPENDIX D: CONTRACTUAL PORTFOLIO DEFINITIONS (continued) Contractual Generation This represents in millions of megawatt hours, the baseload and peaking generation under contract. For those contracts that are take or pay, the contractual generation estimate assumes the customers take 100% of the contracted power. Contracts Announced / Signed Subsequent to September 30, 2004 Contracts that have been announced and, or signed subsequent to September 30, 2004 are not reflected in this data. Such contracts, as they are finalized, will be reflected in future Contractual Portfolios. % Sold Calculated as the contractual generation divided by the estimated generation. Contractual Spark Spread Represents the contractual or "locked in" spark spread embedded in the company's contracted portfolio. Also includes the value of the company's equity gas reserves which is represented by the market price of gas less operating costs.
