Item 7.01 REGULATION FD DISCLOSURE.

On October 18, 2012, EFIH Finance Inc. and Energy Future Intermediate Holding Company LLC (“EFIH”), the direct parent of Oncor Electric Delivery Holdings Company LLC (“Oncor Holdings”), delivered to potential investors an offering memorandum (the “EFIH Offering Memorandum”) containing certain updated information with respect to Oncor Holdings, which is a direct parent and majority owner of Oncor Electric Delivery Company LLC (the “Company”). The information included in this Current Report on Form 8-K is being provided to satisfy the Company’s public disclosure requirements under Regulation FD.

Selected Preliminary Unaudited Financial Data for the Quarterly Period Ended September 30, 2012

Management of Oncor and Oncor Holdings (collectively, the “Companies”) has prepared the selected preliminary financial data below in good faith based upon the most current information available to management. The Companies’ normal quarterly closing and financial reporting processes with respect to such preliminary financial data have not been fully completed. As a result, the actual financial results could be different from such preliminary financial data, and any differences could be material. The Companies’ independent registered public accounting firm has not completed its review procedures with respect to the preliminary financial data provided below, nor has it expressed any opinion or any other form of assurance on such information.

While the financial data provided is preliminary and subject to change, the Companies do not expect actual financial data for the three months ended September 30, 2012 to vary materially from the preliminary amounts provided below.

The Oncor preliminary financial data below has been prepared on a basis consistent with Oncor’s consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2011, which are included in Oncor’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011 that it filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on February 21, 2012. The Oncor Holdings preliminary financial data below has been prepared on a basis consistent with Oncor Holdings’ consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2011 which are included in EFIH’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011 that it filed with the SEC on February 21, 2012. All preliminary and actual financial data presented below is interim (quarterly) data and, accordingly, is unaudited.

Oncor Preliminary Financial Data

The EFIH Offering Memorandum disclosed preliminary Oncor Adjusted EBITDA (reduced by Oncor Holdings distributions) for the three months ended September 30, 2012 as $490 million and actual Oncor Adjusted EBITDA (reduced by Oncor Holdings distributions) for the three months ended September 30, 2011 as $483 million.

Adjusted EBITDA and EBITDA are not recognized terms under United States generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) and, thus, are non-GAAP financial measures. Set forth below is a reconciliation (amounts in millions) of net income to EBITDA and then to Adjusted EBITDA for the three months ended September 30, 2012 (preliminary) and September 30, 2011 (actual) for Oncor. EBITDA refers to earnings (net income) before interest expense, income taxes and depreciation and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA (as defined in certain EFIH debt covenants) refers to EBITDA adjusted to exclude non-cash items and other adjustments. For more information on EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA, see note (a) below.

a) Adjusted EBITDA and EBITDA are not recognized terms under GAAP and, thus, are non-GAAP financial measures. Oncor does not intend for Adjusted EBITDA (or EBITDA) to be an alternative to net income as a measure of operating performance or an alternative to cash flows from operating activities as a measure of liquidity or an alternative to any other measure of financial performance presented in accordance with GAAP. Additionally, Oncor does not intend for Adjusted EBITDA (or EBITDA) to be used as a measure of free cash flow available for management’s discretionary use, as the measure excludes certain cash requirements such as interest payments, tax payments and other debt service requirements. Because not all companies use identical calculations, Oncor’s presentation of Adjusted EBITDA (and EBITDA) may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies or to other presentations of Adjusted EBITDA previously provided by Oncor.
(b) Purchase accounting adjustments consist of amounts related to the accretion of an adjustment (discount) to regulatory assets resulting from purchase accounting.
(c) Other adjustments consist of amounts related to non-cash items, unusual items and other adjustments allowable under the indentures governing certain of EFIH’s debt.
