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.
