Per share amounts for the special items and earnings drivers above and throughout this report are based on the after tax effect of each item divided by the weighted average shares outstanding for the period.

*Operating earnings exclude special items as described below, and are a non-GAAP financial measure. Management uses Operating earnings by segment to evaluate the company’s performance and manage its operations and frequently references this non-GAAP financial measure in its decision making, using it to facilitate historical and ongoing performance comparisons. Additionally, management uses Basic EPS and Basic EPS-Operating, each on a segment basis, to further evaluate the Company's performance by segment and references these non-GAAP financial measures in its decision making. Basic EPS for each segment is calculated by dividing segment net income on a GAAP basis by the basic weighted average shares outstanding for the period. Basic EPS-Operating for each segment is calculated by dividing segment operating earnings, which exclude specials items as discussed below, by the basic weighted average shares outstanding for the period. Management believes that the non-GAAP financial measures of “Operating earnings”, "Basic EPS" and "Basic EPS-Operating" by segment provide a consistent and comparable measure of performance of its businesses to help shareholders understand performance trends. Generally, a non-GAAP financial measure is a numerical measure of a company's historical or future financial performance, financial position, or cash flows that either excludes or includes amounts that are not normally excluded or included in the most directly comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (GAAP). These non-GAAP financial measures are intended to complement, and are not considered as an alternative to, the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure. Also, the non-GAAP financial measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other entities. The 2014 and 2013 GAAP to Operating earnings reconciliations can be found on pages 19-24 of this report and all GAAP to Operating earnings reconciliations are available on FirstEnergy Corp.’s Investor Information website at www.firstenergycorp.com/ir. Quarter over quarter earnings drivers, as summarized in this report, are consistent with management's analysis of each segment's historical and ongoing performance comparisons and exclude the impact of special items, as well as other items that do not impact earnings, including but not limited to the cost recovery of regulatory assets.

1Q 2014 vs 1Q 2013 Earnings Drivers, Excluding Special Items

•

Distribution Deliveries - Total distribution deliveries increased earnings by $0.09 per share, primarily resulting from colder temperatures and higher Ohio Delivery Capital Recovery rider rates. Heating-degree-days were 17% above the same period last year, and 19% above normal. Total electric distribution deliveries increased 2.3 million MWH, or 6%. Sales to residential customers increased 1.6 million MWH, or 11%, while sales to commercial customers increased 579,000 MWH, or 6%. Sales to industrial customers increased 77,000 MWH, or 1%. Higher rates associated with the Ohio Delivery Capital Recovery rider contributed $0.02 per share.


•	WV Asset Transfer⁽¹⁾ - The Harrison/Pleasants asset transfer increased earnings by $0.01 per share.


•	O&M Expenses - Higher O&M expenses decreased earnings by $0.06 per share, primarily due to increased operation and maintenance activities and non-deferred storm-related restoration expenses associated with winter storm Nika during the first quarter of 2014.**


•	Depreciation - Higher depreciation expense reduced earnings by $0.02 per share, due to a higher asset base. **

⁽¹⁾ WV asset transfer includes the impact of retail generation revenues, which include a return of and return on plant costs, fuel and purchased power expenses, net transmission expenses, O&M, depreciation/amortization, general taxes, and interest expense resulting from the WV asset transfer that occurred in October 2013.

**Excludes the impact of the WV asset transfer, which is discussed in its own category above.

1Q 2014 vs 1Q 2013 Earnings Drivers, Excluding Special Items

CES commodity margin decreased earnings by $0.45 per share as summarized below:


•	$0.23 per share decrease primarily associated with higher purchased power resulting from planned outages and the timing of unplanned outages and derates,


•	$0.10 per share decrease associated with the net cost to serve additional unhedged retail load as a result of increased customer demand primarily due to extreme weather conditions,


•	$0.07 per share decrease resulting primarily from higher capacity expense driven by higher capacity prices,


•	$0.05 per share decrease resulting from higher PJM ancillary service charges for transmission system reliability, partially offset by "pass-through" revenues to commercial and industrial customers.

(a)	Contract Sales - CES' contract sales increased 1.3 million MWH, or 5%. As of March 31, 2014, the total number of retail customers remained at 2.7 million, comparable to the number of retail customers since March 31, 2013.


•	Structured sales increased 982,000 MWH, or 42%, due to increased municipal, cooperative, and bilateral sales, offset by reduced gains on various structured financial sales.


•	Governmental aggregation sales increased 383,000 MWH, or 7%, primarily due to increased weather-related usage.


•	POLR generation sales increased 373,000 MWH, or 8% , primarily driven by increased weather-related usage.


•	Mass market sales increased 346,000 MWH, or 19%, primarily in Pennsylvania and Ohio, resulting from the acquisition of new customers and increased weather-related usage.


•	Direct sales to large and medium commercial / industrial customers decreased 773,000 MWH, or 6%, which reflects CES' more conservative retail sales strategy in light of current market conditions.

Consolidated Report to the Financial Community - 1st Quarter 2014 6

(b) Wholesale Sales - Wholesale sales decreased 224,000 MWH. The decrease in wholesale sales was due to increased contract sales and lower generation output, primarily resulting from the nuclear outages at Davis-Besse and Beaver Valley Unit 1.

(c) PJM Capacity Revenues (Base Residual (BR) and Fixed Resource Requirement (FRR) Auctions) - Higher capacity revenues increased earnings, primarily resulting from higher capacity prices.***



Planning Period	RTO	ATSI	ATSI	MAAC
Price Per Megawatt-Day	BR	FRR	BR	BR
June 2012 - May 2013	$16.46	$20.46	N/A	$133.37
June 2013 - May 2014	$27.73	N/A	$27.73	$226.15

(d)

Fuel Expense - On-going fossil generation output increased by 638,000 MWH, primarily due to higher peaking unit and economic dispatch generation, partially offset by unplanned outages. Nuclear generation output decreased 1.1 million MWH, primarily due to a refueling outage and steam generator replacement at Davis-Besse (58 days during the first quarter of 2014) and an unplanned outage at Beaver Valley Unit 1 to replace a transformer (23 days during the first quarter of 2014). ***

(e) Purchased Power - Power purchases increased 1.8 million MWH, as a result of increased contract sales (1.3 million MWH) and lower generation from on-going units (457,000 MWH) as discussed above. Extreme weather and market conditions in January 2014 led to higher on-peak prices that resulted in an unfavorable rate variance, partially offset by gains on financially settled contracts.***

(f) Capacity Expense - Higher capacity prices, primarily in the MAAC zone as noted above, decreased earnings.

(g) Net MISO-PJM Transmission Cost - Higher transmission costs decreased earnings, primarily due to higher PJM ancillary charges as a result of extreme weather and market conditions in January 2014.

(h) Pass-through Transmission Revenues - Under existing FES sales contracts, certain transmission costs associated with incurred PJM ancillary charges are considered a "pass-through" event. Pass-through revenues associated with commercial and industrial customers were recognized in the first quarter of 2014 and partially offset the higher PJM transmission costs.

*** Excludes the impact of the WV asset transfer and plant deactivations, which is discussed in its own category above.

Consolidated Report to the Financial Community - 1st Quarter 2014 7

•

WV Asset Transfer / Plant Deactivations⁽²⁾ - The impact of the Harrison/Pleasant asset transfer and plant deactivations in 2013 increased earnings by $0.04 per share, primarily driven by lower O&M expenses ($0.05 per share), depreciation expense ($0.03 per share), general taxes ($0.01 per share) and interest expense ($0.03 per share) as a result of utilizing cash proceeds to repurchase or redeem debt. Partially offsetting the benefit of lower expenses was higher net costs ($0.08 per share) of replacing approximately 4.4 million MWH of generation associated with transferred or deactivated units.


•	O&M Expenses - Higher CES O&M expenses decreased earnings by $0.01 per share, primarily as a result of increased nuclear outages described above.***


•	Interest Expense - Lower interest expense increased earnings by $0.01 per share, primarily due to debt repurchases in March 2013.***

⁽²⁾ WV asset transfer and plant deactivations include the impact of capacity revenue, fuel, O&M, depreciation/amortization, general taxes, and interest expense resulting from the WV asset transfer and plant deactivations that occurred in 2013, partially offset by the purchased power to replace that generation.

*** Excludes the impact of the net asset transfer and plant deactivations, which is discussed in its own category above.

1Q 2014 vs 1Q 2013 Earnings Drivers, Excluding Special Items


•	Interest Expense - Higher interest expense resulting from the issuance of $1.5 billion of debt at the parent company in March of 2013 decreased earnings by $0.02 per share.

•

Effective Income Tax Rate - A lower effective income tax rate increased earnings by $0.03 per share, primarily resulting from higher state flow-through income tax benefits, changes in state allocation factors, and the elimination of certain future tax liabilities associated with basis differences. The consolidated effective income tax rate was 30.8% in the first quarter of 2014 compared to 37.1% in the first quarter of 2013.

(a)		Revenues are primarily derived from the delivery of electricity within FirstEnergy Corp.'s (FirstEnergy) service areas, cost recovery of regulatory assets and the sale of electric generation service to retail customers who have not selected an alternative supplier (POLR or default service). Its results reflect the commodity costs of securing electric generation from affiliated and non-affiliated power suppliers and the deferral and amortization of certain fuel costs, which are recovered through rates billed to customers pursuant to each company's commission approved POLR and default service program. These revenues and expenses and other revenues and other expenses that are subject to recovery through regulated rates do not typically impact earnings and are excluded from "earnings drivers" in this Consolidated report.
(b)		Revenues are derived from rates charged to load serving entities and other transmission users that recover costs and provide a return on transmission capital investment owned and operated by certain of FirstEnergy's utilities and transmission companies. Its results reflect the net transmission expenses related to the delivery of the respective generation loads.
(c)		Revenues are primarily derived from supplying electric power to end-use customers through retail and wholesale arrangements, including competitive retail sales to customers primarily in Ohio, Pennsylvania, Illinois, Maryland, Michigan and New Jersey, and the provision of partial POLR and default service for affiliated and non-affiliated utilities in Ohio, Pennsylvania and Maryland. Certain revenues have related expenses including capacity expenses, fuel expense, purchased power and transmission expenses. These revenues and expenses may be combined and referred to as "Commodity Margin" to get an accurate view of the segment's earnings drivers.
(d)		Consists primarily of interest expense related to holding company debt, corporate support services revenues and expenses, income taxes and elimination of intersegment transactions.

Employee Relations

On April 14, 2014, a lock-out of Utility Workers Union of America (UWUA) Local 180 members ended. The 20-week lock-out started on November 25, 2013. The employees returned to work under the terms of Pennsylvania Electric Company's Last, Best and Final Offer (LBFO) of November 6, 2013. The LBFO contains wage increases, increases in shift premiums and meal allowances, and additional operational improvements, such as a new job classification intended to increase customer service and efficiency. Employees were reinstated to the positions they held prior to the lock-out. The collective bargaining agreement with IBEW Local 272, which represents approximately 300 employees at the Bruce Mansfield Plant expired on February 16, 2014. The collective bargaining agreement with Local 102, which represents 700 employees at West Penn Power Company (WP) and The Potomac Edison Company (PE), expired on April 30, 2013. FirstEnergy continues to engage in negotiations with each of Local 180, Local 272, and Local 102, and work continuation plans are in place in the event of a work stoppage.

PJM Ancillary Charge Revenue

In January 2014, extreme weather events occurred causing an increase in the demand for electricity and natural gas throughout the PJM zone. In order to maintain system reliability, PJM incurred higher ancillary service costs due to these extreme conditions. Approximately $800 million in ancillary service charges for the month of January were billed to all suppliers serving customers throughout PJM, including FES. Certain of these costs are considered a “pass-through” event under existing contracts and revenue of approximately $33 million, associated with commercial and industrial customers, was recognized in the three month period ended March 31, 2014.

Regulatory Matters

New Jersey Generic Storm Cost Proceeding Update

On March 19, 2014, the New Jersey Board of Public Utilities (NJBPU) issued an order stating that the stipulated agreement in the generic storm proceeding case was reasonable and in accordance with the law, struck an appropriate balance between the needs of the customers and Jersey Central Power & Light Company (JCP&L), and that the 2011 and 2012 major storm costs may be recovered from ratepayers. The 2011 costs will be included within the current distribution rate case, however the mechanism for recovery of the 2012 storm costs remains to be determined.

Pennsylvania Smart Meter Filing

On March 6, 2014 the Pennsylvania Public Utility Commission (PaPUC) approved FirstEnergy’s December 2012 filing which detailed the deployment of smart meter technology within FirstEnergy's Pennsylvania service territory with completion by the end of 2019. On March 19, 2014, Pennsylvania Power Company (Penn Power), Pennsylvania Electric Company, Metropolitan Edison Company, West Penn Power Company (collectively, the Pennsylvania Companies), filed an amended Deployment Plan to accelerate the deployment of smart meters in Penn Power’s service territory. The amended plan requested approval of a modification to the deployment schedule to allow the entire Penn Power smart meter system (170,000 meters) to be built by the end of 2015, instead of the original proposed installation of 60,000 meters by the end of 2016. On March 31, 2014, the Office of Consumer Advocate (OCA) filed exceptions to the Pennsylvania Companies’ amended Deployment Plan, arguing (i) that the amended plan fails to list certain potential cost savings categories that are to be considered by the Pennsylvania Companies; and (ii) that the filing of the amended deployment plan failed to follow proper procedure. On April 7, 2014 the Pennsylvania Companies filed a reply to the OCA’s exceptions, explaining why the exceptions should be rejected. A prehearing conference was held on April 25, 2014, at which time a procedural schedule was established that is expected to allow the PaPUC to issue an Order by June 5, 2014.
