Forward-Looking Statement
EXHIBIT 99
Certain of the matters discussed in this report about our and our subsidiaries' future
performance, including, without limitation, future revenues, earnings, strategies, prospects, consequences and all
other statements that are not purely historical constitute “forward-looking
statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Such forward-looking statements
are subject to risks and uncertainties, which could cause actual results to differ materially
from those anticipated. Such statements are based on management's beliefs as well as assumptions made by
and information currently available to management. 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. Factors that may cause actual results to differ are often presented with the forward-
looking statements themselves. Other factors that could cause actual results to differ
materially from those contemplated in any forward-looking statements made by us herein are discussed in filings
we make with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), including our Annual
Report on Form 10-K and subsequent reports on Form 10-Q and Form 8-K and available on our
website: http://www.pseg.com. These factors include, but are not limited to:
adverse changes in the demand for or the price of the capacity and energy that we sell into
wholesale electricity markets, adverse changes in energy industry law, policies and regulation, including market structures
and transmission planning, 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 and enforcement that could increase our
costs or limit our operations, 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 manage our energy obligations, available supply and risks,
adverse outcomes of any legal, regulatory or other proceeding, settlement, investigation or
claim applicable to us and/or the energy industry, 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, 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,
any inability to achieve, or continue to sustain, our expected levels of operating
performance, any equipment failures, accidents, severe weather events or other incidents that impact our
ability to provide safe and reliable service to our customers, and any inability to obtain
sufficient insurance coverage or recover proceeds of insurance with respect to such events,
acts of terrorism, cybersecurity attacks or intrusions that could adversely impact our
businesses, increases in competition in energy supply markets as well as for transmission projects,
any inability to realize anticipated tax benefits or retain tax credits,
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 funding requirements, changes in technology, such as distributed generation and micro grids, and greater reliance on
these technologies, and changes in customer behaviors, including increases in energy efficiency, net-metering and
demand response. All of the forward-looking statements made in this report are qualified by these
cautionary statements and we cannot assure you that the results or developments anticipated by management will be
realized or even if realized, will have the expected consequences to, or effects on, us or our
business prospects, financial condition or results of operations. Readers are cautioned not to place undue
reliance on these forward-looking statements in making any investment decision.
Forward-looking statements made in this report apply only as of the date of this report. While we may elect to
update forward-looking statements from time to time, we specifically disclaim any
obligation to do so, even if internal estimates change, unless otherwise required by applicable securities laws.
The forward-looking statements contained in this report are intended to qualify for the
safe harbor provisions of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

GAAP Disclaimer
These materials and other financial releases can be found on the
pseg.com
website under the investor tab, or at http://investor.pseg.com/
PSEG presents Operating Earnings and Adjusted Earnings Before Interest, Taxes,
Depreciation and Amortization (EBITDA) 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
and Adjusted EBITDA are non-GAAP financial measures that differ from Income
from Continuing Operations/Net Income. Operating Earnings exclude 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. PSEG
is
presenting
Adjusted
EBITDA
because
it
provides
investors
with
additional
information
to
compare
our
business performance to other companies and understand performance trends.
Adjusted EBITDA excludes the same items as our Operating Earnings
measure as well as income tax expense, interest expense, depreciation
and amortization and major maintenance expense costs at Power’s fossil generation facilities.
This
information
is
not
intended
to
be
viewed
as
an
alternative
to
GAAP
information.
The
last
three
slides
in
this presentation (Slides A, B and C) include a list of items excluded from
Income from Continuing Operations/Net Income to reconcile to Operating
Earnings and Adjusted EBITDA with a reference to that slide included on
each of the slides where the non-GAAP information appears. 3
