PPL Reports Strong Earnings Increase for 2007,

Reaffirms 2008 and 2010 Earnings Forecasts

ALLENTOWN, Pa. (Jan. 31, 2008) ― Driven by gains from the sale of its Latin American delivery businesses and improved margins from its unregulated energy supply business, PPL Corporation (NYSE: PPL) on Thursday (1/31) reported 2007 earnings of $3.40 per share, compared with $2.24 per share a year ago.

Excluding special items, PPL’s earnings from ongoing operations for 2007 were $2.60 per share, an increase of 16 percent over a year ago.

“While PPL’s strong reported earnings in 2007 resulted in large part from the sale of our Latin American businesses, the solid growth in our unregulated energy supply business led to record 2007 earnings from ongoing operations as well,” said James H. Miller, PPL’s chairman, president and chief executive officer.

Gains of $0.67 per share from the sale of PPL’s electricity delivery businesses in Chile, El Salvador and Bolivia contributed significantly to 2007 reported earnings results. A second major positive contributor to PPL’s 2007 reported earnings was a 37 percent increase, or $0.40 per share, in earnings from the company’s unregulated energy supply business segment. A decrease in the United Kingdom income tax rate effective April 1, 2008, also benefited PPL’s reported earnings by $0.14 per share in 2007 by reducing PPL’s net deferred tax liabilities.

PPL reaffirmed its 2008 earnings forecast of $2.35 to $2.45 per share. This forecast reflects the loss of earnings due to the expiration of the federal synfuel tax credit program at the end of 2007 and the sale of PPL’s Latin American businesses during 2007. PPL’s Latin American businesses earned $0.08 per share in 2007. Synfuel operations in 2007 benefited PPL’s earnings by $0.14 per share and also provided a $0.04 per share benefit in lower fuel expense. In addition, U.S. income tax benefits of $0.08 per share in 2007 are not likely to recur at a similar level in 2008.

The company also reaffirmed its 2010 earnings forecast of a range of $4.00 to $4.60 per share.

“We continue to see improvement in energy market fundamentals, driving up the value of PPL’s current business portfolio,” Miller said. “As we actively pursue new assets that can add further value to our business portfolio, these market fundamentals will provide continued growth in value for our shareowners. We are working diligently with elected officials and regulators on energy policies at the state and federal levels that serve the best interests of our customers and the competitive energy marketplace.”

Miller noted that the total return on investment for owners of PPL common stock who reinvested their dividends was more than 49 percent in 2007 and more than 254 percent from the start of 2003 to year-end 2007. “Those figures are among the best for U.S. energy companies and demonstrate that we are consistently growing shareowner value,” he said.

2007 Reported and Ongoing Earnings Details

PPL’s reported earnings for 2007 included net special item credits of $0.80 per share, including a special item credit of $0.67 per share from the sale of its Latin American businesses. Other special item credits were: $0.14 per share from an income tax rate decrease in the United Kingdom; $0.09 per share from revenue related to an energy supply contract settlement in Connecticut; and $0.08 per share in unrealized gains related to the mark-to-market impact of energy-related, non-trading economic hedges.

Special item charges in 2007 were: $0.06 per share from the sale of PPL’s telecommunication operations; $0.06 per share in tax adjustments related to the planned sale of PPL’s natural gas distribution and propane businesses; $0.04 per share from an impairment in the value of certain electricity transmission rights owned by PPL in Maine; and $0.02 per share in workforce reductions.

PPL is in the process of obtaining binding bids for the previously announced sale of its natural gas distribution and propane businesses, which are expected to be sold during the second half of 2008. Any gain from this sale would be recorded at completion of the transaction. Any loss indicated by this bid process would be reflected in 2007 reported earnings if this determination is made prior to PPL’s filing of its 2007 Form 10-K with the SEC, but it would not affect 2007 earnings from ongoing operations.

Special charges and credits for 2006 resulted in a net special item charge of $0.01 per share.

Excluding special items, PPL’s record earnings from ongoing operations for 2007 were $2.60 per share, a 16 percent increase compared with $2.25 per share in earnings from ongoing operations for 2006. This increase was primarily due to higher energy supply margins in the eastern United States.

Reported earnings are calculated in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) in the United States. Earnings from ongoing operations is a non-GAAP financial measure that excludes special items. Special items include charges or credits that are unusual or non-recurring as well as the mark-to-market impact of energy-related, non-trading economic hedges.

Fourth-quarter 2007 Earnings Results

For the fourth quarter of 2007, PPL announced record reported earnings of $439 million, or $1.17 per share. This is an increase of $0.71 per share compared with the same period of 2006. This increase was primarily due to gains from the sale of PPL’s Chilean electricity delivery business. During the fourth quarter of 2007, the company recorded $0.57 in net special item credits compared with no impact of special items recorded in the same period of 2006. (See tables for details.)

Excluding special items, PPL’s earnings from ongoing operations for the fourth quarter of 2007 were $0.60 per share, an increase of $0.14 per share, or 30 percent, from a year ago. This increase was primarily due to higher energy supply margins in the eastern United States and lower U.S. income taxes on PPL’s international earnings.

Key Factors Impacting Business Segment Earnings from Ongoing Operations

Supply Segment

PPL’s supply business segmentprimarily consists of the domestic energy generation and marketing operations of PPL Energy Supply.

Per share earnings from ongoing operations for PPL’s supply business segment in 2007 increased by 20 percent, or $0.24 per share, over 2006. This increase primarily resulted from higher realized wholesale energy margins in the eastern and western U.S. driven by higher wholesale prices compared with a year ago, higher total margins from new and existing full-requirements energy supply contracts, increased base load generation output, and improved energy marketing activities. The supply business segment also recorded higher synfuel earnings and lower income taxes in 2007 compared with a year ago. Partially offsetting the impact of these positive factors were higher outage costs at PPL’s fossil, hydroelectric, and nuclear power plants and higher financing costs.

In the fourth quarter of 2007, per share earnings from ongoing operations for PPL’s supply business segment increased by 12 percent, or $0.03 per share, compared with the same period of 2006. This increase primarily resulted from higher realized wholesale energy margins in the eastern U.S., driven by higher wholesale prices, higher synfuel earnings and lower income taxes in 2007 compared with a year ago. Partially offsetting these gains were higher operation and maintenance expenses and higher financing costs.

Pennsylvania Delivery Segment

PPL’s Pennsylvania delivery business segment includes the regulated electric and gas delivery operations of PPL Electric Utilities and PPL Gas Utilities.

Per share earnings from ongoing operations for PPL’s Pennsylvania delivery business segment in 2007 increased by 5 percent, or $0.02 per share, compared with 2006. This increase was the result of higher electricity delivery margins due to favorable weather impacts, partially offset by higher depreciation and higher operation and maintenance expenses. PPL's natural gas distribution and propane businesses also contributed to the increase in earnings, primarily due to higher revenues as a result of higher distribution rates that became effective in early 2007.

In the fourth quarter of 2007, per share earnings from ongoing operations for PPL’s Pennsylvania delivery business segment increased by 29 percent, or $0.02 per share, compared with the same period of 2006. Many of the same factors that affected 2007 results for this business segment also affected the results in the fourth quarter, including higher electricity delivery margins and higher operation and maintenance expenses.

International Delivery Segment

PPL’s international delivery business segment primarily includes investments in the regulated electric distribution companies in the United Kingdom and included operating results of the Latin American companies prior to the dates of their divestitures in 2007.

Per share earnings from ongoing operations for PPL’s international delivery business segment in 2007 increased by 13 percent, or $0.09 per share, compared with 2006. This increase was the result of lower U.S. income taxes, driven in part by U.S. tax benefits realized in 2007, a positive currency exchange rate in the U.K. and higher delivery revenues in the U.K. electric distribution businesses.

The positive earnings benefits were partially offset by higher local taxes and higher operation and maintenance expenses in the U.K., as well as lower operating results in PPL’s Latin American businesses as a result of the divestiture of these businesses throughout 2007. In addition, 2006 results benefited from higher income realized from the ongoing liquidation of certain nonstrategic businesses in the U.K.

In the fourth quarter of 2007, per share earnings from ongoing operations for PPL’s international delivery business segment increased by 69 percent, or $0.09 per share, compared with the same period of 2006. Many of the factors that affected 2007 results for this business segment also affected the results in the fourth quarter, including higher delivery margins, lower income taxes, and higher operation and maintenance expenses.

2008 Earnings Forecast by Business Segment

Earnings (per share)	2008 (forecast)	2007 (actual)
	Midpoint	Ongoing earnings
Supply	$1.34	$1.42
Pennsylvania Delivery	0.45	0.40
International Delivery	0.61	0.78
Total	$2.40	$2.60

PPL is reaffirming its 2008 earnings forecast of $2.35 to $2.45 per share, which excludes the potential impact of special items that may be recorded in 2008. This forecast reflects the loss of $0.18 per share of synfuel-related earnings as a result of the expiration of federal synfuel tax credits at the end of 2007, and reduced earnings of $0.08 per share as a result of the divestiture of Latin American operations in 2007. In addition, 2007 earnings included U.S. tax benefits of $0.08 per share, which are not likely to recur at similar levels. PPL expects to partially offset these negative effects through an increase in earnings from higher-valued wholesale energy contracts, higher base load generation, and increased revenues from its Pennsylvania delivery business segment as a result of PPL Electric Utilities’ distribution base rate increase that was effective Jan. 1, 2008.

Supply Segment

PPL projects lower earnings in its supply business segment in 2008 as compared with 2007 as a result of the loss of synfuel-related earnings and higher depreciation for scrubbers being installed at both coal-fired generation units at the Montour power plant and at Unit 3 of the Brunner Island power plant, both in Pennsylvania, which are expected to be placed in service during 2008. PPL expects these negative effects to be partially offset by higher energy margins as a result of higher-valued wholesale energy contracts and higher expected base load generation as compared with 2007.

Pennsylvania Delivery Segment

PPL projects higher earnings for its Pennsylvania delivery business segment, driven by higher revenues as a result of PPL Electric Utilities’ new distribution rates.

International Delivery Segment

PPL projects the earnings of its international delivery business segment will decline in 2008 compared with 2007. This decline is a result of the 2007 divestiture of PPL’s Latin American businesses and higher U.S. income taxes primarily driven by the U.S. income tax benefits realized in 2007. Partially offsetting the impact of these negative earnings drivers is lower pension expense at the U.K. electric distribution businesses.

2010 Earnings Forecast

PPL also reaffirmed its 2010 earnings forecast of a range of $4.00 to $4.60 per share. This forecast is driven primarily by higher energy margins based on higher wholesale electricity and capacity prices, higher expected generation output, and increased earnings from marketing and trading activities.

At the end of 2009, the full-requirements supply contract between PPL EnergyPlus and PPL Electric Utilities will expire. As a result of higher forward energy prices seen in the competitive marketplace and the 2010 capacity prices set in PJM Interconnection’s October 2007 auction, PPL expects a significant improvement in energy margins in 2010.

This forecast does not include the effect of any new assets being added to the company’s portfolio and assumes PPL Electric Utilities’ ability to fully recover its market-based energy costs as provided under Pennsylvania law.

PPL Corporation, headquartered in Allentown, Pa., controls more than 11,000 megawatts of generating capacity in the United States, sells energy in key U.S. markets and delivers electricity to about 4 million customers in Pennsylvania and the United Kingdom.

“Earnings from ongoing operations” excludes the impact of unusual items. Earnings from ongoing operations should not be considered as an alternative to reported earnings, or net income, which is an indicator of operating performance determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). PPL believes that earnings from ongoing operations, although a non-GAAP measure, is also useful and meaningful to investors because it provides them with PPL’s underlying earnings performance as another criterion in making their investment decisions. PPL’s management also uses earnings from ongoing operations in measuring certain corporate performance goals. Other companies may use different measures to present financial performance.

Although PPL Corporation believes that the expectations and assumptions reflected in these forward-looking statements are reasonable, these statements involve a number of risks and uncertainties, and actual results may differ materially from the results discussed in the statements. The following are among the important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from the forward-looking statements: market demand and prices for energy, capacity and fuel; market prices for crude oil and the potential impact on synthetic fuel tax credits and our synthetic fuel operations; weather conditions affecting customer energy usage and operating costs; competition in power markets; the effect of any business or industry restructuring; the profitability and liquidity of PPL Corporation and its subsidiaries; new accounting requirements or new interpretations or applications of existing requirements; operating performance of plants and other facilities; environmental conditions and requirements and the related costs of compliance, including environmental capital expenditures and emission allowance and other expenses; system conditions and operating costs; development of new projects, markets and technologies; performance of new ventures; asset acquisitions and dispositions; any impact of hurricanes or other severe weather on our business, including any impact on fuel prices; receipt of necessary government permits, approvals and rate relief; capital market conditions and decisions regarding capital structure; the impact of state, federal or foreign investigations applicable to PPL Corporation and its subsidiaries; the outcome of litigation against PPL Corporation and its subsidiaries; stock price performance; the market prices of equity securities and the impact on pension income and resultant cash funding requirements for defined benefit pension plans; the securities and credit ratings of PPL Corporation and its subsidiaries; political, regulatory or  economic conditions in states, regions or countries where PPL Corporation or its subsidiaries conduct business, including any potential effects of threatened or actual terrorism or war or other hostilities; foreign exchange rates; new state, federal or foreign legislation, including new tax legislation; and the commitments and liabilities of PPL Corporation and its subsidiaries.  Any such forward-looking statements should be considered in light of such important factors and in conjunction with PPL Corporation’s Form 10-K and other reports on file with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
