Forward-Looking Statement
Readers are cautioned that statements contained in this presentation about our and our subsidiaries' future performance, including future revenues, earnings,
strategies, prospects, consequences and all other statements that are not purely historical, are forward-looking statements for purposes of the safe harbor provisions
under The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.  When used herein, the words “anticipate”, “intend”, “estimate”, “believe”, “expect”, “plan”, “should”,
“hypothetical”, “potential”, “forecast”, “project”, variations of such words and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements.  Although we
believe that our expectations are based on reasonable assumptions, they are subject to risks and uncertainties and we can give no assurance they will be achieved. 
The results or developments projected or predicted in these statements may differ materially from what may actually occur.  Factors which could cause results or
events to differ from current expectations include, but are not limited to:
• adverse changes in energy industry law, policies and regulation, including market structures and a potential shift away from competitive markets toward
subsidized market mechanisms, transmission planning and cost allocation rules, including rules regarding how transmission is planned and who is
permitted to build transmission in the future, and reliability standards,
• any inability of our transmission and distribution businesses to obtain adequate and timely rate relief and regulatory approvals from federal and state
regulators,
• changes in federal and state environmental regulations that could increase our costs or limit operations of our generating units,
• changes in nuclear regulation and/or general developments in the nuclear power industry, including various impacts from any accidents or incidents
experienced at our facilities or by others in the industry that could limit operations of our nuclear generating units,
• actions or activities at one of our nuclear units located on a multi-unit site that might adversely affect our ability to continue to operate that unit or other
units located at the same site,
• any inability to balance our energy obligations, available supply and trading risks,
• any deterioration in our credit quality, or the credit quality of our counterparties,
• availability of capital and credit at commercially reasonable terms and conditions and our ability to meet cash needs,
• any inability to realize anticipated tax benefits or retain tax credits,
• changes in the cost of, or interruption in the supply of, fuel and other commodities necessary to the operation of our generating units,
• delays in receipt of necessary permits and approvals for our construction and development activities,
• delays or unforeseen cost escalations in our construction and development activities,
• adverse changes in the demand for or price of the capacity and energy that we sell into wholesale electricity markets,
• increase in competition in energy markets in which we compete,
• challenges associated with recruitment and/or retention of a qualified workforce,
• adverse performance of our decommissioning and defined benefit plan trust fund investments and changes in discount rates and funding requirements,
and
• changes in technology and customer usage patterns.
For further information, please refer to our Annual Report on Form 10-K, including Item 1A. Risk Factors, and subsequent reports on Form 10-Q and Form 8-K filed
with the Securities and Exchange Commission.  These documents address in further detail our business, industry issues and other factors that could cause actual
results to differ materially from those indicated in this presentation.  In addition, any  forward-looking statements included herein represent our estimates only as of
today and should not be relied upon as representing our estimates as of any subsequent date.  While we may elect to update forward-looking statements from time to
time, we specifically disclaim any obligation to do so, even if our internal estimates change, unless otherwise required by applicable securities laws.

GAAP Disclaimer
PSEG presents Operating Earnings in addition to its Net Income reported in
accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United
States (GAAP). Operating Earnings is a non-GAAP financial measure that
differs from Net Income because it excludes gains or losses associated with
Nuclear Decommissioning Trust (NDT) and Mark-to-Market (MTM)
accounting and other material one-time items. PSEG presents Operating
Earnings because management believes that it is appropriate for investors
to consider results excluding these items in addition to the results reported
in accordance with GAAP. PSEG believes that the non-GAAP financial
measure of Operating Earnings provides a consistent and comparable
measure of performance of its businesses to help shareholders understand
performance trends.
This information is not
intended to be viewed as an
alternative to GAAP information. The last two slides in this presentation
include a list of items excluded from Income from Continuing Operations to
reconcile to Operating Earnings, with a reference to that slide included on
each of the slides where the non-GAAP information appears.
