Item 2.02 RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION On February 11, 2005, SCANA Corporation (the Company) issued the press release attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1. This press release corrects an inadvertent typographical error in the press release issued earlier today and previously filed on Form 8-K. In the second paragraph under the heading "Corporate and Other", the first line now begins "For the fourth quarter of 2004" instead of "For the fourth quarter of 2003". The press release discloses a non-GAAP measure, GAAP-adjusted net earnings from operations, which excludes from net income the effects of sales of, and impairment charges related to, certain investments and the effects of a charge related to pending litigation. The Company's management believes that GAAP-adjusted net earnings from operations provides a meaningful representation of the Company's fundamental earnings power and can aid in performing period-over-period financial analysis and comparison with peer group data. In management's opinion, GAAP-adjusted net earnings from operations is a useful indicator of the financial results of the Company's primary businesses. This measure is also a basis for management's provision of earnings guidance and growth projections, and it is used by management in making resource allocation and other budgetary and operational decisions. This non-GAAP performance measure is not intended to replace the GAAP measure of net earnings, but is offered as a supplement to it. Item 9.01 FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND EXHIBITS (c) Exhibits Exhibit 99.1 Press release dated February 11, 2005 SIGNATURES Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, each of the registrants has duly caused this report to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned hereunto duly authorized.
