Forward-Looking Statement
Readers are cautioned that statements contained in this presentation about our and our subsidiaries' future performance, including future revenues, earnings,
strategies, prospects, consequences and all other statements that are not purely historical, are forward-looking statements for purposes of the safe harbor
provisions under The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of
1995.  When used herein, the words “anticipate”, “intend”, “estimate”, “believe”, “expect”, “plan”,
“should”, “hypothetical”, “potential”, “forecast”, “project”, variations of such words and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. 
Although we believe that our expectations are based on reasonable assumptions, they are subject to risks and uncertainties and we can give no assurance they
will be achieved.  The results or developments projected or predicted in these statements may differ materially from what may actually occur.  Factors which
could cause results or events to differ from current expectations include, but are not limited to:
adverse changes in energy industry law, policies and regulation, including market structures and a potential shift away from competitive markets toward subsidized market
mechanisms, transmission planning and cost allocation rules, including rules regarding how transmission is planned and who is permitted to build transmission going
forward, and reliability standards,
any inability of our transmission and distribution businesses to obtain adequate and timely rate relief and regulatory approvals from federal and state regulators,
changes in federal and state environmental regulations that could increase our costs or limit operations of our generating units,
changes in nuclear regulation and/or developments in the nuclear power industry generally that could limit operations of our nuclear generating units,
actions
or
activities
at
one
of
our
nuclear
units
located
on
a
multi-unit
site
that
might
adversely
affect
our
ability
to
continue
to
operate
that
unit
or
other
units
located
at
the
same site,
any inability to balance our energy obligations, available supply and trading risks,
any deterioration in our credit quality,
availability of capital and credit at commercially reasonable terms and conditions and our ability to meet cash needs,
any
inability
to
realize
anticipated
tax
benefits
or
retain
tax
credits,
changes in the cost of, or interruption in the supply of, fuel and other commodities necessary to the operation of our generating units,
delays in receipt of necessary permits and approvals for our construction and development activities,
delays or unforeseen cost escalations in our construction and development activities,
adverse changes in the demand for or price of the capacity and energy that we sell into wholesale electricity markets,
increase in competition in energy markets in which we compete,
adverse performance of our decommissioning and defined benefit plan trust fund investments and changes in discount rates and funding requirements, and
changes in technology and customer usage patterns.
For further information, please refer to our Annual Report on Form 10-K, including Item 1A. Risk Factors, and subsequent reports on Form 10-Q and Form 8-K
filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.  These documents address in further detail our business, industry issues and other factors that could cause
actual
results
to
differ
materially
from
those
indicated
in
this
presentation.
In
addition,
any
forward-looking
statements
included
herein
represent
our
estimates
only as of today and should not be relied upon as representing our estimates as of any subsequent date.  While we may elect to update forward-looking
statements from time to time, we specifically disclaim any obligation to do so, even if our internal estimates change, unless otherwise required by applicable
securities laws.

GAAP Disclaimer
PSEG presents Operating Earnings in addition to its Net Income reported in
accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United
States (GAAP).  Operating Earnings is a non-GAAP financial measure that
differs from Net Income because it excludes gains or losses associated with
Nuclear Decommissioning Trust (NDT), Mark-to-Market (MTM) accounting,
and other material one-time items.  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. The last slide in this presentation includes
a list of items excluded from Income from Continuing Operations to
reconcile to Operating Earnings, with a reference to that slide included on
each of the slides where the non-GAAP information appears.
