(a)

Earnings and certain financial ratios were affected by several special charges or credits. Earnings from ongoing operations excludes the impact of special items. Click on the link at the top of this schedule to reference a reconciliation of net income, or reported earnings, and earnings from ongoing operations. Earnings from ongoing operations should not be considered as an alternative to net income, which is an indicator of operating performance determined in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP). PPL believes that earnings from ongoing operations, although a non-GAAP measure, is also useful and meaningful to investors because it provides them with PPL's underlying earnings performance as another criterion in making their 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.
