AES Reports 17% Increase in Adjusted Earnings Per Share for Second Quarter 2011; Reaffirms Full Year 2011 Guidance

•

Second Quarter Adjusted Earnings Per Share increased 17% year-over-year to $0.28, primarily due to the impact of new businesses and a lower effective tax rate.

•

Second Quarter Diluted Earnings Per Share from Continuing Operations increased 26% year-over-year to $0.24, primarily due to favorable foreign currency exchange rates, the impact of new businesses and a lower effective tax rate.

•

Previously announced acquisition of DPL Inc. on track to close in the Fourth Quarter of 2011 or First Quarter of 2012.

ARLINGTON, VA, August 5, 2011 – The AES Corporation (NYSE: AES) today reported strong results for the second quarter of 2011. The Company’s proportional gross margin increased 4% versus the second quarter of 2010, attributable to volume growth in Chile, contributions from new businesses in Northern Ireland, Chile and Bulgaria, and favorable foreign exchange rates. These positive trends were dampened by a generation outage in Panama related to tunnel repairs at a hydroelectric plant, as well as weaker results in Asia and Europe. In addition, the effective tax rate improved year-over-year due to the extension of the Tax Increase Prevention and Reconciliation Act of 2005 in the fourth quarter of 2010.

“Compared to the first quarter of this year, adjusted earnings per share growth reflects improvements in existing operations, as well as income from new construction projects and our recent acquisition in Northern Ireland. In addition, I am pleased with our recent progress on our remaining construction projects and we remain on track to achieve our 2011 guidance,” said Paul Hanrahan, AES President and Chief Executive Officer.

“Our pending acquisition of DPL has been progressing on schedule and is expected to close later this year or early next year. During the quarter, we closed $2.05 billion in AES recourse financing in anticipation of the transaction’s near-term close, allowing us to take advantage of current market interest rates as we had assumed at the time of announcement. We also received early termination of the Hart Scott Rodino Act waiting period; DPL has now set September 23, 2011 as the date for their shareholder vote on the transaction,” said Victoria D. Harker, Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer.

Key drivers of Second Quarter results include (comparison of Q2 2011 vs. Q2 2010):

•

Consolidated Revenue increased by $621 million to $4.5 billion, benefiting from: (i) favorable impacts of foreign currency of $274 million; (ii) contributions from new businesses including Ballylumford in Northern Ireland, Angamos in Chile and Maritza in Bulgaria; (iii) higher prices and volumes in Chile and Argentina; and (iv) increased demand at its Brazilian utilities. These gains were partially offset by: (i) lower prices at Eletropaulo in Brazil; and (ii) lower volume at Cartagena in Spain.

•

Consolidated Gross Margin increased by $17 million to $1 billion, benefiting from: (i) favorable impacts of foreign currency of $61 million; (ii) contributions from new businesses; (iii) higher prices and volumes in Chile; and (iv) increased volume at its Brazilian utilities. These gains were mostly offset by: (i) an increase in fixed costs, primarily in Latin America; (ii) generation outages in Panama; (iii) lower prices at Eletropaulo in Brazil; and (iv) lower spot prices and volumes at its Europe and Asia Generation businesses.

•

Revenue has increased by 16% over the prior year, while Gross Margin has only increased 2%. This disparity in growth rates is driven primarily by the contractual or regulatory pass through of higher fuel costs and purchased energy, which increase revenue but do not have a corresponding impact on gross margin, as well as the increased fixed costs and the generation outage in Panama.

•

Proportional Gross Margin (a non-GAAP financial measure, see Appendix for definition and reconciliation) increased by $24 million to $619 million.

•

Consolidated Cash Flow from Operating Activities decreased by $72 million to $675 million. This decrease is primarily related to reduced operations at its New York plants and higher working capital needs at Puerto Rico, as well as lower operating income and higher working capital needs at its Asia Generation businesses.

•

Proportional Cash Flow from Operating Activities (a non-GAAP financial measure, see Appendix for definition and reconciliation) decreased by $72 million to $294 million, driven primarily by Asia and North America Generation.

•

Consolidated Free Cash Flow (a non-GAAP financial measure, see Appendix for definition and reconciliation) decreased by $128 million to $460 million, driven by lower operating cash flow discussed above, as well as higher maintenance capital expenditures of $67 million, primarily at its utilities in North America and in Cameroon.

•

Proportional Free Cash Flow (a non-GAAP financial measure, see Appendix for definition and reconciliation) decreased by $101 million to $148 million.

•

Diluted EPS from Continuing Operations increased $0.05 per share to $0.24 per share. This increase was driven by unrealized foreign currency transaction gains in 2011 versus losses in 2010, a lower effective tax rate in 2011 due to the extension of a U.S. tax law in the fourth quarter of 2010 and contributions from new businesses. These positive drivers were partially offset by higher fixed costs and costs associated with the pending acquisition of DPL.

•

Adjusted EPS (a non-GAAP financial measure, see Appendix for definition and reconciliation) increased $0.04 to $0.28 per share. The increase was primarily attributable to contributions from new businesses, favorable foreign exchange rates and a lower effective tax rate. These positive drivers were partially offset by higher fixed costs and costs associated with the pending acquisition of DPL. Table

Key drivers of Year-to-Date results include (comparison of Q2 YTD 2011 vs. Q2 YTD 2010):

•

Consolidated Revenue increased by $965 million to $8.8 billion, benefiting from: (i) favorable impacts of foreign currency of $429 million; (ii) contributions from new businesses including Ballylumford in Northern Ireland, Angamos in Chile and Maritza in Bulgaria; (iii) higher prices and volumes in Chile and Argentina; and (iv) increased volume at its Brazilian utilities. These gains were partially offset by: (i) lower prices at its utility businesses in Brazil; (ii) lower volume at Cartagena in Spain and Tisza II in Hungary; and (iii) lower prices and volume at Masinloc in the Philippines.

•

Consolidated Gross Margin increased by $72 million to $2 billion, benefiting from: (i) favorable impacts of foreign currency of $97 million; (ii) contributions from new businesses; (iii) higher prices and volumes in Chile; and (iv) increased volume at its Brazilian utilities. These gains were partially offset by: (i) an increase in fixed costs, primarily in Latin America; (ii) generation outage in Panama related to tunnel repairs; (iii) lower prices at its utility businesses in Brazil; (iv) lower prices and volume at Masinloc in the Philippines; (v) lower prices at Kilroot in Northern Ireland; and (vi) lower volume at IPL in Indiana and Hungary.

•

Proportional Gross Margin (a non-GAAP financial measure, see Appendix for definition and reconciliation) increased by $27 million to $1.2 billion.

•

Consolidated Cash Flow from Operating Activities decreased by $235 million to $1.2 billion. This decrease is primarily related to reduced operations at its New York plants and higher working capital needs at Puerto Rico, as well as lower operating income and higher working capital needs at its Asia Generation businesses.

•

Proportional Cash Flow from Operating Activities (a non-GAAP financial measure, see Appendix for definition and reconciliation) decreased by $173 million to $616 million, driven primarily by Asia and North America Generation.

•

Consolidated Free Cash Flow (a non-GAAP financial measure, see Appendix for definition and reconciliation) decreased by $377 million to $723 million, driven by lower operating cash

flow discussed above, as well as higher maintenance capital expenditures of $153 million, primarily in Latin America and North America Utilities.

•

Proportional Free Cash Flow (a non-GAAP financial measure, see Appendix for definition and reconciliation) decreased by $259 million to $307 million driven by lower operating cash flow discussed above, as well as higher maintenance capital expenditures, primarily in Latin American and North America utilities.

•

Diluted EPS from Continuing Operations increased $0.11 per share to $0.54 per share. This increase was driven by unrealized foreign currency transaction gains in 2011 versus losses in 2010, a lower effective tax rate in 2011 due to the renewal of a U.S. tax law in the fourth quarter of 2010 and contributions from new businesses. These positive drivers were partially offset by costs associated with the pending purchase of DPL, higher fixed costs and a net 5% share count increase.

•

Adjusted EPS (a non-GAAP financial measure, see Appendix for definition and reconciliation) decreased $0.01 to $0.50 per share. The decrease was primarily attributable to costs associated with the pending acquisition of DPL, higher fixed costs and a higher share count. This was partially offset by the contribution from new businesses, lower effective tax rate and favorable foreign exchange rates. Table 3 provides a reconciliation of Diluted EPS to Adjusted EPS for year-to-date 2011 as compared to year-to-date 2010.

⁽¹⁾

Adjusted earnings per share (a non-GAAP financial measure) is defined as diluted earnings per share from continuing operations excluding gains or losses of the consolidated entity due to (a) mark-to-market amounts related to derivative transactions, (b) unrealized foreign currency gains or losses, (c) significant gains or losses due to dispositions and acquisitions of business interests, (d) significant losses due to impairments, and (e) costs due to the early retirement of debt. The GAAP measure most comparable to Adjusted EPS is diluted earnings per share from continuing operations. AES believes that adjusted earnings per share better reflects the underlying business performance of the Company, and is considered in the Company’s internal evaluation of financial performance. Factors in this determination include the variability due to mark-to-market gains or losses related to derivative transactions, currency gains or losses, losses due to impairments and strategic decisions to dispose or acquire business interests or retire debt, which affect results in a given period or periods. Adjusted earnings per share should not be construed as an alternative to earnings per share, which is determined in accordance with GAAP.

⁽²⁾	Derivative mark-to-market (gains)/losses were net of income tax per share of $0.00 and $(0.01) in the three months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, and of $(0.01) and $0.00 for the six months ended June 30, 2011, and 2010, respectively.

⁽³⁾	Unrealized foreign currency transaction (gains)/losses were net of income tax per share of $0.00 and $(0.01) in the three months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively, and of $0.00 and $(0.01) in the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

⁽⁴⁾

The Company did not adjust for the gain or the related tax effect from the sale of its indirect investment in CEMIG in its determination of Adjusted EPS because the gain was recognized by an equity method investee. The Company does not adjust for transactions of its equity method investees in its determination of Adjusted EPS.

⁽⁵⁾	Amount includes impairment at Kelanitissa of $33 million ($30 million, or $0.04 per share, net of noncontrolling interest).

⁽⁶⁾	Amount includes loss on retirement of debt at IPL of $15 million ($10 million, or $0.01 per share, net of income tax).

⁽⁷⁾	Amount includes loss on retirement of Parent Company debt of $9 million ($6 million, or $0.01 per share, net of income tax).

⁽¹⁾

Adjusted Gross Margin is defined by the Company as: Gross margin plus depreciation and amortization less general and administrative expenses. AES believes adjusted gross margin is a useful measure for evaluating and comparing the operating performance of its businesses because it includes the direct operating costs of its business including overhead related expenses and excludes potential differences caused by variations in capital structures affecting interest income and expense, tax positions, such as the impact of changes in effective tax rates and the impact of depreciation and amortization expense.

⁽¹⁾

Subsidiary distributions should not be construed as an alternative to Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities which are determined in accordance with GAAP. Subsidiary distributions are important to the Parent Company because the Parent Company is a holding company that does not derive any significant direct revenues from its own activities but instead relies on its subsidiaries’ business activities and the resultant distributions to fund the debt service, investment and other cash needs of the holding company. The reconciliation of difference between the subsidiary distributions and the Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities consists of cash generated from operating activities that is retained at the subsidiaries for a variety of reasons which are both discretionary and non-discretionary in nature. These factors include, but are not limited to, retention of cash to fund capital expenditures at the subsidiary, cash retention associated with non-recourse debt covenant restrictions and related debt service requirements at the subsidiaries, retention of cash related to sufficiency of local GAAP statutory retained earnings at the subsidiaries, retention of cash for working capital needs at the subsidiaries, and other similar timing differences between when the cash is generated at the subsidiaries and when it reaches the Parent Company and related holding companies.

⁽²⁾

Parent Company Liquidity is defined as cash at the Parent Company plus availability under corporate credit facilities plus cash at qualified holding companies (“QHCs”). AES believes that unconsolidated Parent Company liquidity is important to the liquidity position of AES as a Parent Company because of the non-recourse nature of most of AES’s indebtedness.

⁽³⁾

The cash held at QHCs represents cash sent to subsidiaries of the Company domiciled outside of the US. Such subsidiaries had no contractual restrictions on their ability to send cash to AES, the Parent Company. Cash at those subsidiaries was used for investment and related activities outside of the US. These investments included equity investments and loans to other foreign subsidiaries as well as development and general costs and expenses incurred outside the US. Since the cash held by these QHCs is available to the Parent, AES uses the combined measure of subsidiary distributions to Parent and QHCs as a useful measure of cash available to the Parent to meet its international liquidity needs.

⁽²⁾

AES is a holding company that derives its income and cash flows from the activities of its subsidiaries, some of which may not be wholly-owned by the Company. Accordingly, the Company has presented certain financial metrics which are defined as Proportional (a non-GAAP financial measure). Proportional metrics present the Company’s estimate of its share in the economics of the underlying metric. The Company believes that the Proportional metrics are useful to investors because they exclude the economic share in the metric presented that is held by non-AES shareholders. For example, Operating Cash Flow is a GAAP metric which presents the Company’s cash flow from operations on a consolidated basis, including operating cash flow allocable to noncontrolling interests. Proportional Operating Cash Flow removes the share of operating cash flow allocable to noncontrolling interests and therefore may act as an aid in the valuation of the Company. Proportional metrics are reconciled to the nearest GAAP measure. Certain assumptions have been made to estimate our proportional financial measures. These assumptions include: (i) the Company’s economic interest has been calculated based on a blended rate for each consolidated business when such business represents multiple legal entities; (ii) the Company’s economic interest may differ from the percentage implied by the recorded net income or loss attributable to noncontrolling interests or dividends paid during a given period; (iii) the Company’s economic interest for entities accounted for using the hypothetical liquidation at book value method is 100%; (iv) individual operating performance of the Company’s equity method investments is not reflected and (v) inter-segment transactions are included as applicable for the metric presented.

⁽³⁾

⁽⁴⁾	Reconciliation of Adjusted EPS includes unrealized foreign currency losses of $0.03, derivative losses of $0.02, debt retirement losses of $0.01 and gain on disposition of assets of $0.02.

⁽⁵⁾

Free Cash Flow is reconciled above. Free cash flow (a non-GAAP financial measure) is defined as net cash from operating activities less maintenance capital expenditures (including environmental capital expenditures), net of reinsurance proceeds from third parties. AES believes that free cash flow is a useful measure for evaluating our financial condition because it represents the amount of cash provided by operations less maintenance capital expenditures as defined by our businesses, that may be available for investing or for repaying debt.
