 Forward-Looking Information Statement  A-18  Statements contained in this presentation, including statements with respect to future earnings, energy prices,  margins, sales and supply, marketing performance, growth, revenues, expenses, rates, regulation, cash flows,  credit profile, financing, dividends, business disposition, corporate strategy, capital additions and expenditures,  and generating capacity and performance, are “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the federal  securities laws. 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; 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.

 
 

 

 “Earnings from ongoing operations” excludes the impact of special items. Special items include charges, credits or gains that  are unusual or nonrecurring. Special items also include the mark-to-market impact of energy-related, non-trading economic  hedges and impairments of securities in PPL’s nuclear decommissioning trust funds. The mark-to-market impact of these  hedges is economically neutral to the company because the mark-to-market gains or losses on the energy hedges will  reverse as the hedging contracts settle in the future. 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.  “Free cash flow before dividends” is derived by deducting capital expenditures and other investing activities-net, as well as  the repayment of transition bonds, from cash flow from operations. Free cash flow before dividends should not be  considered as an alternative to cash flow from operations, which is determined in accordance with GAAP. PPL believes that  free cash flow before dividends, although a non-GAAP measure, is an important measure to both management and investors  since it is an indicator of the company’s ability to sustain operations and growth without additional outside financing beyond  the requirement to fund maturing debt obligations. Other companies may calculate free cash flow before dividends in a  different manner.  "Domestic Gross Energy Margins" is intended to supplement the investors' understanding of PPL’s domestic non-trading and  trading activities by combining applicable income statement line items and related adjustments to calculate a single financial  measure. PPL believes that "Domestic Gross Energy Margins" is useful and meaningful to investors because it provides  them with the results of PPL's domestic non-trading and trading activities as another criterion in making their investment  decisions. "Domestic Gross Energy Margins" is not intended to replace "Operating Income," which is determined in  accordance with GAAP, as an indicator of overall operating performance. PPL's management also uses "Domestic Gross  Energy Margins" in measuring certain corporate performance goals used in determining variable compensation. Other  companies may use different measures to present the results of their non-trading and trading activities.  Definitions of Financial Measures  A-19
