Funds from Operations (“FFO”) and Adjusted FFO, which is FFO adjusted to account for cash inflows or outflows associated with the deferred energy accounts, are presented here because NV Energy, Inc. (the “Company”) believes that these measures are useful to investors because the rating agencies use these measures when determining a company’s credit ratings.  The cost of the Company’s debt, the ability of the Company’s subsidiaries to pay dividends to the Company, and other capital and operational costs and expenses are impacted by the Company’s credit ratings.  The Company believes that net income (loss) is the most directly comparable GAAP measure to FFO.
 
Since FFO excludes certain items includable in net income (loss), reliance on the measure has limitations; management compensates for these limitations by using the measure simply as a supplemental measure that is weighed in the balance with other GAAP measures.  FFO is not necessarily an indication of the Company’s cash flow available to fund cash needs.  Additionally, it should not be used as an alternative to net income (loss) when evaluating the Company’s financial performance or to cash flow from (used by) operating, investing and financing activities when evaluating the Company’s liquidity or ability to make cash distributions or pay debt service.  The FFO presented by the Company may not be comparable to the FFO presented by other utility companies.
