Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Free Cash Flow

“Free cash flow” meets the definition of a non-GAAP financial measure. NV Energy, Inc. defines free cash flow as net cash from operating activities less additions to utility plant (excluding AFUDC-equity). Since free cash flow is not a measure of liquidity calculated in accordance with GAAP, it should be considered in addition to, but not as a substitute for, the GAAP measure net cash from operating activities.

NV Energy, Inc. considers free cash flow to be a liquidity measure that provides useful information to management and investors about the amount of cash generated from operations after capital expenditures that may be available for increasing its common stock dividend payout ratio, strengthening its capital structure, and considering new investment opportunities.

NV Energy, Inc.’s definition of free cash flow is limited, in that it does not represent residual cash flows available for discretionary expenditures due to the fact that the measure does not deduct the payments required for debt service and other contractual obligations. The table below provides a reconciliation between GAAP net cash from operating activities and non-GAAP free cash flow (dollars in thousands).


	Six Months Ended June 30,
	2013			2012			Change from Prior Year
Net Cash from Operating Activities	$	228,143		$	292,663			(22.0	)%
Less Additions to Utility Plant (Excluding AFUDC-Equity)		(191,673	)		(261,559	)		(26.7	)%

Gross Margin

NV Energy, Inc. presents gross margin in order to aid the reader in determining how profitable the utilities’ electric and gas businesses are at the most fundamental level. Gross margin, which is a “non-GAAP financial measure” as defined in accordance with SEC rules, provides a measure of income available to support the other operating expenses of the business and is utilized by management in its analysis of its business.

NV Energy, Inc. believes presenting gross margin allows the reader to assess the impact of the utilities’ regulatory treatment and their overall regulatory environment on a consistent basis. Gross margin, as a percentage of revenue, is primarily impacted by the fluctuations in regulated utility electric and natural gas supply costs versus the fixed rates collected from utility customers. While these fluctuating costs impact gross margin as a percentage of revenue, they only impact gross margin amounts if the costs cannot be passed through to utility customers. Gross margin, which NV Energy, Inc. calculates as operating revenues less energy and energy efficiency program costs, provides a measure of income available to support the other operating expenses of the utilities. Gross margin changes are based primarily on the utilities’ general base rate adjustments (which are required to be filed by statute every three years). These non-GAAP measures should not be considered as substitutes for the GAAP measures. Reconciliations between GAAP operating income and gross margin are provided in the table below.
