Feb. 2 Rotating Outage Event Unprecedented emergency - The unplanned loss of generation during a period of high demand on Feb. 2 forced ERCOT to direct utilities to shed 4,000 MW of load, which: Was four times as large as the last load-shedding event in 2006. At its peak, impacted approximately 283,000 customers in Oncor's service area. Preparation - Oncor participates in simulations and conducts extensive training to prepare for ERCOT emergency directives. Rapid response ensured grid reliability - Oncor quickly acted on ERCOT's directives to shed load. Oncor successfully implemented its plans to address the ERCOT emergency and prevented the situation from becoming more serious.

Oncor's Ring-Fencing Oncor Holdings and Oncor are ring-fenced entities and have no obligation to pay any amounts due on EFH and EFIH debt that is secured by EFIH's equity in Oncor Holdings. In the event of a valid permitted asset transfer (disposition of EFIH's equity interests in Oncor Holdings), this debt would become obligations of the third party transferee.


 

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 and net income of BondCo Debt (non-GAAP) Oncor total debt, less transition bonds of BondCo Operating Cash Flow (non-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.
