GAAP Disclaimer
PSEG presents Operating Earnings in addition to its Income from Continuing
Operations/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), 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
slide
in
this
presentation
includes
a
list
of
items
excluded
from Income from Continuing Operations/Net Income to reconcile to Operating
Earnings, with a reference to that slide included on each of the
slides where the
non-GAAP information appears.
