Certain statements in the following presentation regarding AES’s business operations may
constitute “forward looking statements.” Such forward-looking statements include, but are
not limited to, those related to future earnings, growth and financial and operating
performance. Forward-looking statements are not intended to be a guarantee of future

assumptions. Forecasted financial information is based on certain material assumptions.
These assumptions include, but are not limited to, continued normal or better levels of
operating performance and electricity demand at our distribution companies and
operational performance at our generation businesses consistent with historical levels, as
well as achievements of planned productivity improvements and incremental growth from
investments at investment levels and rates of return consistent with prior experience. For
additional assumptions see the Appendix to this presentation. Actual results could differ
materially from those projected in our forward-looking statements due to risks, uncertainties

Adjusted Earnings Per Share (1) $0.41 $0.28
Adjusted earnings per share (a non-GAAP financial measure) is defined as diluted earnings per share from continuing operations excluding gains or

losses associated with (a) mark to market amounts related to FAS 133 derivative transactions, (b) foreign currency transaction impacts on the net
monetary position related to Brazil and Argentina, (c) significant asset gains or losses due to disposition transactions and impairments, and (d) costs
related to early retirement of recourse debt. AES believes that adjusted earnings per share better reflects the underlying business performance of the
Company, and is considered in the Company’s internal evaluation of financial performance. Factors in this determination include the variability
associated with mark-to-market gains or losses related to certain derivative transactions, currency transaction gains or losses, periodic strategic
decisions to dispose of certain assets which may influence results in a given period, and the early retirement of corporate debt.

Higher Taxes reflect appreciation of the Brazilian real at certain of the Company’s Brazilian subsidiaries which

Assumptions
Forecasted financial information is based on certain material assumptions. Such assumptions include, but
are not limited to: (a) no unforeseen external events such as wars, depressions, or economic or political
disruptions occur; (b) businesses continue to operate in a manner consistent with or better than prior
operating performance, including achievement of planned productivity improvements including benefits of
global sourcing, and in accordance with the provisions of their relevant contracts or concessions; (c) new
business opportunities are available to AES in sufficient quantity to achieve its growth objectives; (d) no
material disruptions or discontinuities occur in GDP, foreign exchange rates, inflation or interest rates during
the forecast period; and (e) material business-specific risks as described in the Company’s SEC filings do not
occur individually or cumulatively. In addition, benefits from global sourcing include avoided costs, reduction
in capital project costs versus budgetary estimates, and projected savings based on assumed spend volume
which may or may not actually be achieved. Also, improvement in certain KPIs such as equivalent forced
outage rate and commercial availability may not improve financial performance at all facilities based on
commercial terms and conditions. These benefits will not be fully reflected in the Company’s consolidated
financial results.
The cash held at qualifying holding companies (QHCs) represents cash sent to subsidiaries of the Company
domiciled outside of the U.S. Such subsidiaries had no contractual restrictions on their ability to send cash to
AES, the Parent Company. Cash at those subsidiaries was used for investment and related activities outside
of the U.S. These investments included equity investments and loans to other foreign subsidiaries as well as
development and general costs and expenses incurred outside the U.S. Since the cash held by these QHCs
is available to the Parent, AES uses the combined measure of subsidiary distributions to Parent and QHCs as
a useful measure of cash available to the Parent to meet its international liquidity needs. AES believes that
unconsolidated parent company liquidity is important to the liquidity position of AES as a parent company
because of the non-recourse nature of most of AES’s indebtedness.
Second Quarter 2007 Financial Review

Definitions of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Adjusted earnings per share – Defined as diluted earnings per share from continuing operations excluding gains or
losses associated with (a) mark-to-market amounts related to FAS 133 derivative transactions, (b) foreign currency
transaction impacts on the net monetary position related to Brazil and Argentina, (c) significant asset gains or
losses due to disposition transactions and impairments, and (d) early retirement of recourse debt. AES believes
that adjusted earnings per share better reflects the underlying business performance of the Company, and is
considered in the Company’s internal evaluation of financial performance. Factors in this determination include the
variability associated with mark-to-market gains or losses related to certain derivative transactions, currency gains
and losses, periodic strategic decisions to dispose of certain assets which may influence results in a given period,
and the early retirement of corporate debt.
Free cash flow – Defined as net cash flow from operating activities less maintenance capital expenditures.
Maintenance capital expenditures reflect property additions less growth capital expenditures. 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.
Liquidity – Defined as cash at the parent company plus availability under corporate revolver plus cash at qualifying
holding companies (QHCs). AES believes that unconsolidated parent company liquidity is important to the liquidity
position of AES as a parent company because of the non-recourse nature of most of AES’s indebtedness.
Subsidiary distributions – Defined as cash distributions (primarily dividends and interest income) from subsidiary
companies to the parent company and qualified holding companies. AES believes subsidiary distributions are an
important measure, as these cash flows are the source of cash flow to the parent to meet corporate interest,
