“Earnings from ongoing operations” should not be considered as an alternative to reported earnings, or net income attributable to PPL, which is an
indicator of operating performance determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). PPL believes that “earnings from
ongoing operations,” although a non-GAAP financial measure, is also useful and meaningful to investors because it provides management’s view of
PPL’s fundamental earnings performance as another criterion in making investment decisions. PPL’s management also uses “earnings from ongoing
operations” in measuring certain corporate performance goals. Other companies may use different measures to present financial performance.

PPL’s fundamental earnings performance as another criterion in making investment decisions. PPL’s management also uses “earnings from ongoing
operations” in measuring certain corporate performance goals. Other companies may use different measures to present financial performance.
“Earnings from ongoing operations” is adjusted for the impact of special items. Special items include:
• Energy-related economic activity (as discussed below).
• Foreign currency-related economic hedges.
• Gains and losses on sales of assets not in the ordinary course of business.
• Impairment charges (including impairments of securities in the company’s nuclear decommissioning trust funds).
• Workforce reduction and other restructuring impacts.
• Acquisition-related costs and charges.
• Other charges or credits that are, in management’s view, not reflective of the company’s ongoing operations.
Energy-related economic activity includes the changes in fair value of positions used economically to hedge a portion of the economic value of PPL’s
generation assets, full-requirement sales contracts and retail activities. This economic value is subject to changes in fair value due to market price
volatility of the input and output commodities (e.g., fuel and power) prior to the delivery period that was hedged. Also included in energy-related
economic activity is the ineffective portion of qualifying cash flow hedges, the monetization of certain full-requirement sales contracts and premium
amortization associated with options. This economic activity is deferred, with the exception of the full-requirement sales contracts that were
monetized, and included in earnings from ongoing operations over the delivery period of the item that was hedged or upon realization. Management
believes that adjusting for such amounts provides a better matching of earnings from ongoing operations to the actual amounts settled for PPL’s
underlying hedged assets. Please refer to the Notes to the Financial Statements and MD&A in PPL Corporation’s periodic filings with the Securities
and Exchange Commission for additional information on energy-related economic activity.

Free cash flow before dividends is derived by deducting capital expenditures and other investing activities-net, from cash flow from operations. Free
cash flow before dividends should not be considered as an alternative to cash flow from operations, which is determined in accordance with GAAP.
PPL believes that free cash flow before dividends, although a non-GAAP measure, is an important measure to both management and investors, as it
is an indicator of the company's ability to sustain operations and growth without additional outside financing beyond the requirement to fund maturing
debt obligations. Other companies may calculate free cash flow before dividends in a different manner.

"Kentucky Gross Margins" is a single financial performance measure of the Kentucky Regulated segment's electricity generation, transmission and
distribution operations as well as its distribution and sale of natural gas. In calculating this measure, utility revenues and expenses associated with
approved cost recovery tracking mechanisms are offset. Certain costs associated with these mechanisms, primarily ECR and DSM, are recorded as
"Other operation and maintenance" expense and the depreciation associated with ECR equipment is recorded as "Depreciation" expense. These
mechanisms allow for recovery of certain expenses, returns on capital investments and performance incentives. As a result, this measure
represents the net revenues from the Kentucky Regulated segment's operations.

"Pennsylvania Gross Delivery Margins" is a single financial performance measure of the Pennsylvania Regulated segment's electric delivery
operations, which includes transmission and distribution activities. In calculating this measure, utility revenues and expenses associated with
approved recovery mechanisms, including energy provided as a PLR, are offset with minimal impact on earnings. Costs associated with these
mechanisms are recorded in "Energy purchases," "Other operation and maintenance," which is primarily Act 129 costs, and in "Taxes, other than
income," which is primarily gross receipts tax. This performance measure includes PLR energy purchases by PPL Electric from PPL EnergyPlus,
which are reflected in "PLR intersegment Utility revenue (expense)." These mechanisms allow for recovery of certain expenses; therefore, certain
expenses and revenues offset with minimal impact on earnings. As a result, this measure represents the net revenues from the Pennsylvania
Regulated segment's electric delivery operations.

which are reflected in "PLR intersegment Utility revenue (expense)." These mechanisms allow for recovery of certain expenses; therefore, certain
expenses and revenues offset with minimal impact on earnings. As a result, this measure represents the net revenues from the Pennsylvania
Regulated segment's electric delivery operations.
"Unregulated Gross Energy Margins" is a single financial performance measure of the Supply segment's competitive energy non-trading and trading
activities. In calculating this measure, the Supply segment's energy revenues, which include operating revenues associated with certain Supply
segment businesses that are classified as discontinued operations, are offset by the cost of fuel, energy purchases, certain other operation and
maintenance expenses, primarily ancillary charges, gross receipts tax, which is recorded in "Taxes, other than income," and operating expenses
associated with certain Supply segment businesses that are classified as discontinued operations. This performance measure is relevant to PPL
due to the volatility in the individual revenue and expense lines on the Statements of Income that comprise "Unregulated Gross Energy Margins."
This volatility stems from a number of factors, including the required netting of certain transactions with ISOs and significant swings in unrealized
gains and losses. Such factors could result in gains or losses being recorded in either "Wholesale energy marketing" or "Energy purchases" on the
Statements of Income. This performance measure includes PLR revenues from energy sales to PPL Electric by PPL EnergyPlus, which are
reflected in "PLR intersegment Utility revenue (expense)." PPL excludes from "Unregulated Gross Energy Margins" the Supply segment's energy-
related economic activity, which includes the changes in fair value of positions used to economically hedge a portion of the economic value of PPL's
competitive generation assets, full-requirement sales contracts and retail activities. This economic value is subject to changes in fair value due to
market price volatility of the input and output commodities (e.g., fuel and power) prior to the delivery period that was hedged. Also included in this
energy-related economic activity is the ineffective portion of qualifying cash flow hedges, the monetization of certain full-requirement sales contracts
and premium amortization associated with options. This economic activity is deferred, with the exception of the full-requirement sales contracts that
were monetized, and included in unregulated gross energy margins over the delivery period that was hedged or upon realization.
