Appendix - Regulation G Reconciliations


 

Measure Definition Operating Cash Flow (GAAP) Cash provided by operating activities. Debt (non-GAAP) Total debt less transition bonds. Total Debt (GAAP) Long-term debt (including current portion) plus bank loans and commercial paper. Adjusted Net Income (non-GAAP) Net income less effects of purchase accounting (including goodwill adjustments) and Transition Bond Company. EBITDA (non-GAAP) Income from continuing operations before interest expense and related charges, and provisions in lieu of income tax plus depreciation and amortization and special items. EBITDA is a measure used by Oncor to assess performance. Debt/EBITDA (non-GAAP) Total debt less transition bonds divided by EBITDA. Transition, or securitization, bonds are serviced by a regulatory transition charge on wires rates and are therefore excluded from debt in credit reviews. Debt / EBITDA is a measure used by Oncor to assess credit quality. EBITDA/Interest (non-GAAP) EBITDA divided by cash interest expense is a measure used by Oncor to assess credit quality.
