ARLINGTON, Va., November 4, 2011 – The AES Corporation (NYSE: AES) today reported strong results for the third quarter of 2011, driven by solid operating performance and a lower effective tax rate. Contributions from new businesses in Bulgaria, Northern Ireland and Chile and volume growth in Latin America offset lower prices at one of the Company’s utilities in Brazil and previously disclosed repairs at Estí, one of its hydroelectric power generation facilities in Panama.

“We had a strong third quarter and remain on track to meet our 2011 and 2012 guidance for cash flow metrics and adjusted EPS. We are executing on our core and growth markets strategy, accelerating our cost savings programs and working to close the acquisition of DP&L,” said Andrés Gluski, AES President and Chief Executive Officer. “With these steps and the completion of more than 1,500 MW of new construction in 2011, we are confident in our future performance, and we intend to declare a $120 million annual dividend in the third quarter of 2012.”

“We now anticipate savings in 2012 of $40 to $50 million, an increase from the $10 to $20 million we announced earlier this year, coming from more focused business development efforts and achieving greater synergies and efficiency from our new organizational structure,” said Victoria D. Harker, Executive Vice President, Chief Financial Officer and President of Global Business Services.

Additional Highlights

•

On October 18^th, the Company announced a new organizational structure and executive leadership changes to achieve greater operating efficiencies, improve profitability and increase speed of execution. Specifically, the Company redefined its operational management and organizational structure around two business lines – Utilities and Generation.

•

Consistent with its core market strategy, the Company closed two sales of non-strategic businesses and signed an agreement to sell a third.

•

Brasiliana, one of AES’ subsidiaries in Brazil, closed the sale of its telecommunications businesses in October and received proceeds of approximately $900 million, which the Company plans to use to repay debt at the Brasiliana holding company.

•

A subsidiary of the Company also sold its interests in its Bohemia business in the Czech Republic in September 2011.

•

On October 20^th, the Company, through one of its subsidiaries, signed a share purchase and option agreement with GDF Suez S.A. (“GdFS”) for the sale of 80% of its interest in a wholly-owned holding company that holds a 70.81% interest in AES Energia Cartagena (“Cartagena”), a 1,199 MW gas-fired generation business in Spain, for €172 million ($234 million). The sale is subject to customary regulatory and lender approvals and is expected to close by the end of 2011.

•

AES’ pending acquisition of DPL Inc. is progressing on schedule and is expected to close in the fourth quarter of 2011 or the first quarter of 2012. DPL shareholders voted in favor of the transaction in September, and FCC approval was also received. The final approvals required for the closing include the Public Utility Commission of Ohio and FERC.

•

The Company repurchased 12 million shares during the third quarter at an average price of $10.28 including commission. It has purchased an additional 5.6 million shares in the fourth quarter through November 3, 2011.

Key drivers of Third Quarter results include (comparison of Q3 2011 vs. Q3 2010):

•

Consolidated Revenue increased by $391 million to $4.4 billion, benefiting from: (i) favorable impact of foreign currency of $173 million; (ii) contributions from new businesses including Ballylumford in Northern Ireland, Angamos in Chile and Maritza in Bulgaria; (iii) higher prices in Chile and Argentina; and (iv) increased demand at its Brazilian utilities. These gains were partially offset by: (i) lower prices at Eletropaulo, its utility in Brazil, primarily related to the estimated impact of the July 2011 tariff reset; and (ii) the unfavorable impact of an unrealized mark-to-market derivative loss at Sonel in Cameroon.

•

Consolidated Gross Margin increased by $53 million to $1 billion, benefiting from: (i) favorable impacts of foreign currency of $51 million; (ii) contributions from new businesses; (iii) higher volumes in Chile; and (iv) decreased fixed costs at its Brazilian utilities. These gains were mostly offset by: (i) the unrealized mark-to-market derivative loss at Sonel; (ii) generation outage in Panama related to tunnel repairs; (iii) lower prices at Eletropaulo in Brazil; and (iv) higher fuel prices at Gener in Chile.

•

Revenue has increased by 10% over the prior year, while gross margin has only increased 5%. This disparity in growth rates is driven primarily by the contractual or regulatory pass through of higher fuel costs and purchased energy, which increases revenues but does not have a corresponding impact on gross margin, as well as the generation outage in Panama.

•

Proportional Gross Margin (a non-GAAP financial measure, see Appendix for definition and reconciliation) decreased by $25 million to $563 million due to the outage at the hydroelectric plant in Panama and the non-cash mark-to-market derivative loss at Sonel, our utility in Cameroon.

•

Consolidated Cash Flow from Operating Activities increased by $127 million to $1.1 billion. This increase was primarily due to (i) higher collection of account receivables in Chile; (ii) commenced commercial operations at Maritza in Bulgaria and a full quarter of operations at Ballylumford in Northern Ireland. These gains were partially offset by: (i) higher energy purchases and regulatory charges at Eletropaulo and higher working capital needs in El Salvador and (ii) lower operating income at Masinloc in the Philippines as well as from the sale of Ras Laffan in 2010.

•

Proportional Cash Flow from Operating Activities (a non-GAAP financial measure, see Appendix for definition and reconciliation) increased by $102 million to $621 million, driven primarily by higher operating income in Latin America as a result of higher collection of accounts receivables in Chile and the contribution of new businesses in Europe.

•

Consolidated Free Cash Flow (a non-GAAP financial measure, see Appendix for definition and reconciliation) increased by $55 million to $886 million, driven by higher operating cash flow as described above offset partially by $72 million in maintenance capital expenditures, net of reinsurance proceeds, primarily driven by North America Utilities and Latin America.

•

Proportional Free Cash Flow (a non-GAAP financial measure, see Appendix for definition and reconciliation) increased by $55 million to $456 million.

•

Diluted EPS from Continuing Operations decreased by $0.20 per share to a loss of $0.15 per share due primarily to unrealized foreign currency losses in the third quarter of 2011 compared to unrealized foreign currency gains in the third quarter 2010. In addition, the Company incurred expenses related to the acquisition of DPL, higher debt retirement expense and higher impairment expenses net of tax in the third quarter of 2011. These impacts were partially offset by contributions from new businesses, higher volume in Latin America, and a lower share count.

- 4 -

•

Adjusted EPS (a non-GAAP financial measure, see Appendix for definition and reconciliation) increased $0.07 to $0.27 per share. The increase was primarily attributable to the contributions from new businesses, higher volume in Latin America, a lower effective tax rate and a lower share count. These positive drivers were partially offset by costs associated with the pending acquisition of DPL of $0.04. Table 2 provides a reconciliation of Diluted EPS to Adjusted EPS for third quarter 2011 as compared to third quarter 2010.

Key drivers of Year-to-Date results include (comparison of Q3 YTD 2011 vs. Q3 YTD 2010):

•

Consolidated Revenue increased by $1.3 billion to $13.1 billion, benefiting from: (i) favorable impacts of foreign currency of $600 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; (iv) increased prices in Argentina and (v) increased volume at its Brazilian utilities. These gains were partially offset by: (i) lower prices at its utility businesses in Brazil, primarily due to the estimated impact of the July 2011 tariff reset; (ii) the unfavorable impact of an unrealized mark-to-market derivative loss at Sonel in Cameroon; and (iii) lower volumes at its businesses in Spain and Hungary.

•

Consolidated Gross Margin increased by $118 million to $3 billion, benefiting from: (i) favorable impacts of foreign currency of $148 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 Generation; (ii) a generation outage in Panama related to tunnel repairs; (iii) lower prices at its utility businesses in Brazil; (iv) the unfavorable impact of an unrealized mark-to-market derivative loss at Sonel; (v) lower spot prices and volume at Masinloc; and (vi) lower prices at Kilroot.

•

Proportional Gross Margin (a non-GAAP financial measure, see Appendix for definition and reconciliation) increased by $13 million to $1.8 billion.

•

Consolidated Cash Flow from Operating Activities decreased by $108 million to $2.3 billion. This decrease was primarily due to lower operating income and higher working capital requirements in Asia and in North America. This increase was partially offset by higher operating income in Latin America.

•

Proportional Cash Flow from Operating Activities (a non-GAAP financial measure, see Appendix for definition and reconciliation) decreased by $72 million to $1.2 billion.

•

Consolidated Free Cash Flow (a non-GAAP financial measure, see Appendix for definition and reconciliation) decreased by $322 million to $1.6 billion due to lower operating cash flow, as well as higher maintenance capital expenditures of $214 million, net of reinsurance proceeds, primarily driven by North America Utilities and Latin America.

•

Proportional Free Cash Flow (a non-GAAP financial measure, see Appendix for definition and reconciliation) decreased by $205 million to $763 million.

•

Diluted EPS from Continuing Operations decreased $0.08 per share to $0.38 per share driven primarily by higher impairment expenses net of tax, higher unrealized foreign currency transaction losses and costs associated with the pending acquisition of DPL. This was partially offset by contributions from new businesses, higher volume in Latin America and a lower effective tax rate.

•

Adjusted EPS (a non-GAAP financial measure, see Appendix for definition and reconciliation) increased $0.06 to $0.76 per share. This increase is due to the contributions from new businesses, higher volume in Latin America and a lower effective tax rate offset partially by costs associated with the pending acquisition of DPL. Table 3 provides a reconciliation of Diluted EPS to Adjusted EPS for year-to-date 2011 as compared to year-to-date 2010.

Adjusted Earnings Per Share	$	0.27		$	0.20		$	0.76		$	0.70

⁽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 $0.01 in the three months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, and of $0.00 for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, and 2010.

⁽³⁾	Unrealized foreign currency transaction (gains)/losses were net of income tax per share of $0.01 and $0.00 in the three months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively, and of $0.00 and $(0.01) in the nine months ended September 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 equity method investment impairment at Chigen, including YangCheng, of $79 million or $0.10 per share, asset impairments at Wind of $116 million or $76 million, and $0.10 per share, net of income tax, Carbon Reduction Projects of $33 million or $0.04 per share, and Bohemia of $9 million or $6 million, and $0.01 per share, net of income tax, and goodwill impairment at Chigen of $17 million or $0.02 per share.

⁽⁶⁾

Amount includes asset impairments at Southland (Huntington Beach) of $200 million and Tisza of $85 million ($130 million, or $0.17 per share, and $55 million, or $0.07 per share, net of income tax, respectively) and goodwill impairment at Deepwater of $18 million ($12 million, or $0.02 per share, net of income tax).

⁽⁷⁾	Amount includes asset impairments described in footnote (5) above, in addition to $37 million at Kelanitissa ($34 million, or $0.04 per share, net of noncontrolling interests).

⁽⁸⁾	Amount includes loss on retirement of debt at Gener of $38 million ($22 million, or $0.03 per share, net of noncontrolling interests and income tax).

⁽⁹⁾	Amount includes loss on retirement of debt described in footnote (8) above, in addition to IPL of $15 million ($10 million, or $0.01 per share, net of income tax).

⁽¹⁰⁾	Amount includes loss on retirement of Parent Company debt of $9 million ($6 million, or $0.01 per share, net of income tax).

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⁾

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. Non-GAAP financial measure as reconciled in the table.

⁽⁴⁾	Reconciliation of Adjusted EPS includes impairment losses of $0.31, debt retirement losses of $0.04, gain on disposition of assets of $0.30 and derivative gains of $0.01.

⁽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.

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.
