Statements contained in this presentation, including statements with respect to future earnings, cash flows, financing, regulation and
corporate strategy are "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the federal securities laws. Although PPL Corporation
believes that the expectations and assumptions reflected in these forward-looking statements are reasonable, these statements are
subject to a number of risks and uncertainties, and actual results may differ materially from the results discussed in the statements.
The following are among the important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from the forward-looking statements:
market demand and prices for energy, capacity and fuel; weather conditions affecting customer energy usage and operating costs;
competition in power markets; the effect of any business or industry restructuring; the profitability and liquidity of PPL Corporation and
its subsidiaries; new accounting requirements or new interpretations or applications of existing requirements; operating performance of
generating plants and other facilities; the length of scheduled and unscheduled outages at our generating plants; environmental
conditions and requirements and the related costs of compliance, including environmental capital expenditures and emission allowance
and other expenses; system conditions and operating costs; development of new projects, markets and technologies; performance of
new ventures; asset or business acquisitions and dispositions; any impact of hurricanes or other severe weather on our business,
including any impact on fuel prices; receipt of necessary government permits, approvals, rate relief and regulatory cost recovery;
capital market conditions and decisions regarding capital structure; the impact of state, federal or foreign investigations applicable to
PPL Corporation and its subsidiaries; the outcome of litigation against PPL Corporation and its subsidiaries; stock price performance;
the market prices of equity securities and the impact on pension income and resultant cash funding requirements for defined benefit
pension plans; the securities and credit ratings of PPL Corporation and its subsidiaries; political, regulatory or economic conditions in
states, regions or countries where PPL Corporation or its subsidiaries conduct business, including any potential effects of threatened or
actual terrorism or war or other hostilities; foreign exchange rates; new state, federal or foreign legislation, including new tax legislation;
and the commitments and liabilities of PPL Corporation and its subsidiaries. Any such forward-looking statements should be
considered in light of such important factors and in conjunction with PPL Corporation's Form 10-K and other reports on file with the
Securities and Exchange Commission.

Definitions of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
"Earnings from ongoing operations," also referred to as "ongoing earnings," should not be considered as an alternative to reported earnings, or
net income attributable to PPL shareowners, which is an indicator of operating performance determined in accordance with U.S. generally
accepted accounting principles (GAAP). PPL believes that "earnings from ongoing operations," although a non-GAAP financial measure, is also
useful and meaningful to investors because it provides management's view of PPL's fundamental earnings performance as another criterion in
making investment decisions. PPL's management also uses "earnings from ongoing operations" in measuring certain corporate performance
goals. Other companies may use different measures to present financial performance.
"Earnings from ongoing operations" is adjusted for the impact of special items. Special items include:
 Adjusted energy-related economic activity (as discussed below).
 Unrealized gains or losses on foreign currency-related economic hedges.
 Gains and losses on sales of assets not in the ordinary course of business.
 Impairment charges (including impairments of securities in the company's nuclear decommissioning trust funds).
 Workforce reduction and other restructuring effects.
 Acquisition-related adjustments.
 Other charges or credits that are, in management's view, not reflective of the company's ongoing operations.
Adjusted energy-related economic activity includes the changes in fair value of positions used to economically hedge a portion of the economic
value of the competitive generation assets, full-requirement sales contracts and retail activities. This economic value is subject to changes in fair
value due to market price volatility of the input and output commodities (e.g., fuel and power) prior to the delivery period that was hedged.
Adjusted energy-related economic activity also includes the ineffective portion of qualifying cash flow hedges, the monetization of certain full-
requirement sales contracts and premium amortization associated with options. This economic activity is deferred, with the exception of the full-
requirement sales contracts that were monetized, and included in earnings from ongoing operations over the delivery period of the item that was
hedged or upon realization. Management believes that adjusting for such amounts provides a better matching of earnings from ongoing
operations to the actual amounts settled for PPL's underlying hedged assets. Please refer to the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
and MD&A in PPL Corporation's periodic filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission for additional information on adjusted energy-
related economic activity.
Free cash flow before dividends is derived by deducting capital expenditures, proceeds from the sale of certain assets and other investing
activities-net, from cash flow from operations. Free cash flow before dividends should not be considered as an alternative to cash flow from
operations, which is determined in accordance with GAAP. PPL believes that free cash flow before dividends, although a non-GAAP measure, is
an important measure to both management and investors, as it is an indicator of the company's ability to sustain operations and growth without
additional outside financing beyond the requirement to fund maturing debt obligations. Other companies may calculate free cash flow before
dividends in a different manner.

Definitions of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
PPL utilizes the following non-GAAP financial measures as indicators of performance for its businesses. These measures are not intended to replace "Operating
Income," which is determined in accordance with GAAP, as an indicator of overall operating performance. Other companies may use different measures to
analyze and to report on the results of their operations. Management believes that these measures provide additional criteria to make investment decisions.
These performance measures are used, in conjunction with other information, internally by senior management and PPL's Board of Directors to manage the
operations, analyze actual results compared with budget and, in certain cases, to measure certain corporate financial goals used in determining variable
compensation.
"Kentucky Gross Margins" is a single financial performance measure of LKE's, LG&E's and KU's electricity generation, transmission and distribution operations
as well as LKE's and LG&E's distribution and sale of natural gas. In calculating this measure, fuel and energy purchases are deducted from revenues. In
addition, utility revenues and expenses associated with approved cost recovery mechanisms are offset. These mechanisms allow for recovery of certain
expenses, returns on capital investments primarily associated with environmental regulations and performance incentives. Certain costs associated with these
mechanisms, primarily ECR and DSM, are recorded as "Other operation and maintenance" and "Depreciation." As a result, this measure represents the net
revenues from the electric and gas operations.
"Pennsylvania Gross Delivery Margins" is a single financial performance measure of PPL Electric's electric delivery operations, which includes transmission and
distribution activities. In calculating this measure, utility revenues and expenses associated with approved recovery mechanisms, including energy provided as a
PLR, are offset with minimal impact on earnings. Costs associated with these mechanisms are recorded in "Energy purchases," "Other operation and
maintenance," which is primarily Act 129 costs, and "Taxes, other than income," which is primarily gross receipts tax. This performance measure includes PLR
energy purchases by PPL Electric from PPL EnergyPlus, which are reflected in "PLR intersegment utility revenue (expense)." As a result, this measure
represents the net revenues from PPL Electric's electric delivery operations.
"Unregulated Gross Energy Margins" is a single financial performance measure of PPL Energy Supply's competitive energy non-trading and trading activities.
Non-trading activities, which include PPL Energy Supply's generation asset and marketing portfolios, are managed on a geographic basis that is aligned with the
generation fleet. In calculating this measure, energy revenues, which include operating revenues associated with certain businesses that are classified as
discontinued operations, are offset by the cost of fuel, energy purchases, certain other operation and maintenance expenses, primarily ancillary charges, gross
receipts tax, which is recorded in "Taxes, other than income," and operating expenses associated with certain Supply segment businesses that are classified as
discontinued operations. This performance measure is relevant to PPL due to the volatility in the individual revenue and expense lines on the Statements of
Income that comprise "Unregulated Gross Energy Margins." This volatility stems from a number of factors, including the required netting of certain transactions
with ISOs and significant fluctuations in unrealized gains and losses. Such factors could result in gains or losses being recorded in either "Unregulated
wholesale energy", "Unregulated retail energy" or "Energy purchases" on the Statements of Income. This performance measure includes PLR revenues from
energy sales to PPL Electric by PPL EnergyPlus, which are recorded in "PLR intersegment utility revenue (expense)." "Unregulated Gross Energy Margins"
excludes adjusted energy-related economic activity, which includes the changes in fair value of positions used to economically hedge a portion of the economic
value of the competitive generation assets, full-requirement sales contracts and retail activities. This economic value is subject to changes in fair value due to
market price volatility of the input and output commodities (e.g., fuel and power) prior to the delivery period that was hedged. Adjusted energy-related economic
activity includes the ineffective portion of qualifying cash flow hedges, the monetization of certain full-requirement sales contracts and premium amortization
associated with options. This economic activity is deferred, with the exception of the full-requirement sales contracts that were monetized, and included in
"Unregulated Gross Energy Margins" over the delivery period that was hedged or upon realization.
