Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Management usesnon-GAAP Operating Earnings in its internal analysis, and in communications with investors and analysts, as a consistent measure for comparing PSEG’s financial performance to previous financial results.Non-GAAP Operating Earnings exclude the impact of returns (losses) associated with the Nuclear Decommissioning Trust (NDT),Mark-to-Market (MTM) accounting and materialone-time items.
Management believes the presentation ofnon-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA for PSEG Power is useful to investors and other users of our financial statements in evaluating operating performance because it provides them with an additional tool to compare business performance across companies and across periods. Management also believes thatnon-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA is widely used by investors to measure operating performance without regard to items such as income tax expense, interest expense and depreciation and amortization, which can vary substantially from company to company depending upon, among other things, the book value of assets, capital structure and whether assets were constructed or acquired.Non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA also allows investors and other users to assess the underlying financial performance of our fleet before management’s decision to deploy capital.Non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA excludes the same items as ournon-GAAP Operating Earnings measure as well as income tax expense, interest expense and depreciation and amortization.
See Attachments 8 and 9 for a complete list of items excluded from Net Income in the determination ofnon-GAAP Operating Earnings andnon-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA. The presentation ofnon-GAAP Operating Earnings andnon-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA is intended to complement, and should not be considered an alternative to the presentation of Net Income, which is an indicator of financial performance determined in accordance with GAAP. In addition,non-GAAP Operating Earnings andnon-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA as presented in this release may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies.
Due to the forward looking nature ofnon-GAAP Operating Earnings andnon-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA guidance, PSEG is unable to reconcile thesenon-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure. Management is unable to project certain reconciling items, in particular MTM and NDT gains (losses), for future periods due to market volatility.
