This
is a non-GAAP financial measure that differs from GAAP because
it excludes
the impact of unrealized fair value gains
|
||||||||||||||||
or
losses. Management believes this measure is more reflective of
average
retail gross margins on MWhs delivered due
|
||||||||||||||||
to
the non-cash nature and volatility of changes in fair value related
to
non-hedging energy contracts and from cash flow
|
||||||||||||||||
hedge
ineffectiveness. Management and the Board of Directors use this
as a
measurement of Strategic Energy's
|
||||||||||||||||
realized
retail gross margin per delivered MWh, which are settled upon
delivery at
contracted prices.

Core
earnings is a non-GAAP financial measure that differs from GAAP earnings
because it excludes
the
effects of discontinued operations, certain unusual items and
mark-to-market gains and losses on energy
contracts.
The Company believes core earnings provide to investors a more meaningful
indicator of its results
that
is comparable among periods because it excludes the effects of items
that
may not be indicative of Great
Plains
Energy’s prospective earnings potential.
