3. GAAP Disclaimer
PSEG presents Operating Earnings in addition to its Net Income reported in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). Operating
Earnings is a non-GAAP financial measure that differs from Net Income
because it excludes the impact of the sale of certain non-core domestic and
international assets and costs stemming from the terminated merger
agreement with Exelon Corporation. 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. A reconciliation of Operating Earnings to Net Income is
included on the slides where the information appears. These slides are only
intended to be reviewed in conjunction with the oral presentation to which
they relate.
