Notes
| - | For the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, dilution does not change basic earnings per share by more than 3 cents and is not material. |
| - | In March 2009, Southern Company recorded a charge related to a settlement agreement with MC Asset Recovery, LLC (MCAR) to settle a lawsuit. Southern Company filed an insurance claim for a portion of the MCAR settlement amount. In June 2012, Southern Company received an insurance recovery related to this claim. Earnings for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 include 2 cents a share for the MCAR insurance recovery. |
