(a)

The current quarter and year-to-date increases were due largely to the reversal of a portion of the provision for uncertain tax positions totaling $136 million for two previous positions that were resolved in the 2010-2011 tax audit. This was partly offset by customer sharing recorded as a regulatory charge ($16 million pre-tax, included in net revenue). The year-to-date variance also reflected a first quarter 2015 reversal of a portion of the provision for uncertain tax provisions related to interest accrual of approximately $24 million.

(b)

The current quarter and year-to-date increases were attributable largely to a tax election which reduced income tax expense $238 million.

(c) 

The current quarter and year-to-date increases reflected lower pension and OPEB expenses stemming partly from a higher discount rate and lower fossil spending due to lower scope of work for outage activity. The expense decreases were partially offset by the Union acquisition (offset in net revenue). The year-to-date variance also reflected a deferral recorded at EAI in first quarter 2016, expenses in second quarter 2015 related to the ELL business combination and higher nuclear generation spending in 2016 due primarily to an increase in regulatory compliance costs, an overall higher scope of work done during plant outages and higher nuclear labor costs, including contract labor.

(d) 

The current quarter and year-to-date increases reflected a reduction in expense for litigation proceeds received from the DOE in connection with spent nuclear fuel storage costs in second quarter 2016, a portion of the amounts received for VY and FitzPatrick (approximately 12 cents EPS) was considered "special." Lower refueling outage expense, largely as a result of 2015 impairments, also contributed to the increase. Partially offsetting were higher expenses resulting from the decisions to close certain nuclear plants (these expenses were also considered "special").

(e) 

The current quarter increase was due largely to higher realized earnings on nuclear decommissioning trust funds (substantially offset in net revenue).

(f)

The current quarter and year-to-date increases resulted from 2015 impairments and recording the effects of DOE litigation proceeds related to spent nuclear fuel storage costs. These items were partially offset by the sale of RISEC.

(g)

The current quarter increase was due primarily to rate changes associated with the Union acquisition, EAI's 2015 rate case and industrial sales growth. Higher volume in the unbilled period also contributed. Partially offsetting the increase was a $16 million (pre-tax) reserve for the portion of tax benefit noted above to be shared with customers. The effect of weather was more unfavorable in the current period than a year ago.

(h)

The current quarter and year-to-date decreases were driven by lower energy and capacity pricing for nuclear assets. Volume from nuclear assets was also lower due largely to the extended Indian Point 2 refueling outage. The sale of RISEC facility in December 2015 also contributed to the decline. These decreases were partially offset by lower nuclear fuel expense (due largely to 2015 impairments).

(i) 

The year-to-date decrease was due primarily to additions to plant, including the Union acquisition in March 2016.

(j) 

The year-to-date decrease is attributable to capital that is recorded as non-fuel O&M for nuclear plants that have closed or are identified to close.

(k) 

The year-to-date decrease was due largely to realized earnings from decommissioning trusts in 2015 from rebalancing of VY's decommissioning trust.

Revenue on a per unit basis at which capacity is expected to be sold to third parties, given existing contract prices and/or auction awards

Average revenue per MWh on contracted volumes

Revenue on a per unit basis at which generation output reflected in contracts is expected to be sold to third parties (including offsetting positions) at the minimum contract prices and at forward market prices at a point in time, given existing contract or option exercise prices based on expected dispatch or capacity, excluding the revenue associated with the amortization of the below-market PPA for Palisades; revenue will fluctuate due to factors including market price changes affecting revenue received on puts, collars and call options, positive or negative basis differentials, option premiums and market prices at the time of option expiration, costs to convert firm LD to unit-contingent and other risk management costs

Firm LD

Transaction that requires receipt or delivery of energy at a specified delivery point (usually at a market hub not associated with a specific asset) or settles financially on notional quantities; if a party fails to deliver or receive energy, defaulting party must compensate the other party as specified in the contract; a portion of which may be capped through the use of risk management products

Production cost per MWh

Fuel and non-fuel O&M expenses according to accounting standards that directly relate to the production of electricity per MWh (based on net generation), excluding special items

Refueling outage days

Number of days lost for scheduled refueling outage during the period

Unit-contingent

Transaction under which power is supplied from a specific generation asset; if the asset is on operational outage, seller is generally not liable to buyer for any damages, unless the contract specifies certain conditions such as an availability guarantee
