Appendix - Regulation G Reconciliations


 

Measure Definition Adjusted Operating Revenues (non-GAAP) Oncor operating revenues, less operating revenues of Oncor Electric Delivery Transition Bond Company LLC (BondCo) Adjusted Net Income (non-GAAP) Oncor net income, less effects of purchase accounting (including goodwill adjustments) and net income of BondCo Debt (non-GAAP) Oncor total debt, less transition bonds of BondCo Operating Cash Flow (GAAP) Oncor cash provided by operating activities, less BondCo cash provided by operating activities Total Debt (GAAP) Oncor long-term debt (including current portion), plus bank loans and commercial paper 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.
