arbitration settlement at Cartagena in Spain recorded in the first quarter of 2012, the impact of low hydrology in Panama and Brazil totaling $0.03, and unfavorable movements in foreign currency exchange rates, predominantly the Brazilian Real.

for first quarter 2013 and anticipated earnings growth more weighted toward the second half of 2013. These preliminary results are consistent with the Company&#146;s prior disclosures. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT
STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Diluted EPS from Continuing Operations decreased to $0.13 to $0.15, a decline of $0.29 to $0.31, primarily due to the drivers discussed above, as well as a $0.14 gain on the sale of Cartagena in Spain

activities less maintenance capital expenditures (including environmental capital expenditures), net of reinsurance proceeds from third parties. AES believes that free cash flow is a useful measure for evaluating the Company&#146;s financial

<P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">AES is a holding company that derives its income and cash flows from the activities of its subsidiaries, some of which may not be wholly-owned by the
Company. Accordingly, the Company has presented certain financial metrics which are defined as Proportional (a non-GAAP financial measure). Proportional metrics present the Company&#146;s estimate of its share in the economics of the underlying
metric. The Company believes that the Proportional metrics are useful to investors because they exclude the economic share in the metric presented that is held by non-AES shareholders. For example, Net Cash from Operating Activities (Operating Cash
Flow) is a GAAP metric which presents the Company&#146;s cash flow from operations on a consolidated basis, including operating cash flow allocable to noncontrolling interests. Proportional Operating Cash Flow removes the share of operating cash
flow allocable to noncontrolling interests and therefore may act as an aid in the valuation of the Company. Proportional metrics are reconciled to the nearest GAAP measure. Certain assumptions have been made to estimate our proportional financial
measures. These assumptions include: (i)&nbsp;the Company&#146;s economic interest has been calculated based on a blended rate for each consolidated business when such business represents multiple legal entities; (ii)&nbsp;the Company&#146;s
economic interest may differ from the percentage implied by the recorded net income or loss attributable to noncontrolling interests or dividends paid during a given </FONT></P>

Company. Accordingly, the Company has presented certain financial metrics which are defined as Proportional (a non-GAAP financial measure). Proportional metrics present the Company&#146;s estimate of its share in the economics of the underlying
metric. The Company believes that the Proportional metrics are useful to investors because they exclude the economic share in the metric presented that is held by non-AES shareholders. For example, Net Cash from Operating Activities (Operating Cash
Flow) is a GAAP metric which presents the Company&#146;s cash flow from operations on a consolidated basis, including operating cash flow allocable to noncontrolling interests. Proportional Operating Cash Flow removes the share of operating cash
flow allocable to noncontrolling interests and therefore may act as an aid in the valuation of the Company. Proportional metrics are reconciled to the nearest GAAP measure. Certain assumptions have been made to estimate our proportional financial
measures. These assumptions include: (i)&nbsp;the Company&#146;s economic interest has been calculated based on a blended rate for each consolidated business when such business represents multiple legal entities; (ii)&nbsp;the Company&#146;s
economic interest may differ from the percentage implied by the recorded net income or loss attributable to noncontrolling interests or dividends paid during a given period; (iii)&nbsp;the Company&#146;s economic interest for entities accounted for
using the hypothetical liquidation at book value method is 100%; (iv)&nbsp;individual operating performance of the Company&#146;s equity method investments is not reflected and (v)&nbsp;inter-segment transactions are included as applicable for the
metric presented. </FONT></P></TD></TR></TABLE>

<TD ALIGN="left" VALIGN="top"> <P ALIGN="left"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Adjusted earnings per share (a non-GAAP financial measure) is defined as diluted earnings per share from continuing operations excluding gains or
losses of the consolidated entity due to (a)&nbsp;mark-to-market amounts related to derivative transactions, (b)&nbsp;unrealized foreign currency gains or losses, (c)&nbsp;gains or losses due to dispositions and acquisitions of business interests,
(d)&nbsp;losses due to impairments, and (e)&nbsp;costs due to the early retirement of debt. The GAAP measure most comparable to Adjusted EPS is diluted earnings per share from continuing operations. AES believes that adjusted earnings per share
better reflects the underlying business performance of the Company, and is considered in the Company&#146;s internal evaluation of financial performance. Factors in this determination include the variability due to mark-to-market gains or losses
related to derivative transactions, currency gains or losses, losses due to impairments and strategic decisions to dispose or acquire business interests or retire debt, which affect results in a given period or periods. Adjusted earnings per share
should not be construed as an alternative to diluted earnings per share from continuing operations, which is determined in accordance with GAAP. Beginning in the first quarter of 2013, the Company will exclude in its determination of Adjusted EPS
all gains or losses due to dispositions and acquisitions of business interests and all losses due to impairments, not just those that were deemed significant per our previous definition. </FONT></P></TD></TR></TABLE>

capital expenditures (including environmental capital expenditures), net of reinsurance proceeds from third parties. AES believes that free cash flow is a useful measure for evaluating our financial condition because it represents the amount of cash
provided by operations less maintenance capital expenditures as defined by our businesses, that may be available for investing or for repaying debt. </FONT></P></TD></TR></TABLE>
