| Appendix 2004 Earnings Guidance* Exelon's adjusted (non-GAAP) operating earnings for 2004 are expected to be in the range of $2.68 to $2.83 per share. Our outlook for adjusted (non-GAAP) operating earnings excludes income resulting from investments in synthetic fuel producing facilities, the cumulative effect of adopting FIN 46-R and any profit or loss related to Boston Generating. Giving consideration to these factors, we estimate 2004 GAAP earnings will fall in a range of $2.78 to $2.93 per share. This estimate does not include any impact of future changes to GAAP. * Reflects 2-for-1 stock split effective 5/5/04. |
| Free Cash Flow We define free cash flow as: Cash from operations (which includes pension contributions and the benefit of synthetic fuels investment), less Capital expenditures Nuclear decommissioning trust fund investment activity Transition debt maturities Common stock dividends Other routine investing/financing activities Plus cash from asset dispositions, etc. Appendix |
