Item 9. Regulation FD Disclosure
FPL Group, Inc. today reiterated that it expects to achieve seven percent earnings per share growth in 2001. The company earned $4.38 in recurring earnings per share in 2000.
The company declined to provide specific earnings guidance for 2002, noting that its largest subsidiary, Florida Power & Light Company, is in a rate review by the Florida Public Service Commission and it would be difficult to predict the outcome with any degree of certainty at this time. However, FPL Group stated that once the rate issues are resolved, using 2002 as a base year, the company expects it can return to average annual growth of approximately seven percent.
The company cited its superior operating capabilities, growing utility service territory, and solid growth plans at its independent power subsidiary as the basis for its optimistic outlook for the future.
