Non-GAAP financial measures: This report contains certain non-GAAP financial measures. Management believes that the non-GAAP financial measures used by E.ON, when considered in conjunction with (but not in lieu of) other measures that are computed in U.S. GAAP, enhance an understanding of E.ON’s results of operations. A number of these non-GAAP financial measures are also commonly used by securities analysts, credit rating agencies, and investors to evaluate and compare the periodic and future operating performance and value of E.ON and other companies with which E.ON competes. Additional information with respect to each of the non-GAAP financial measures used in this report is included together with the reconciliations described below. E.ON prepares its financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (U.S. GAAP). As noted above, this report contains certain financial measures (adjusted EBIT, adjusted EBITDA, ROCE, net financial position, net interest expense, and free cash flow) that are not calculated in accordance with U.S. GAAP and are therefore considered “non-GAAP financial measures” within the meaning of the U.S. federal securities laws. In accordance with applicable rules and regulations, E.ON has presented in this report a reconciliation of each non-GAAP financial measure to the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP measure for historical measures and an equivalent U.S. GAAP target for forward-looking measures. The footnotes presented with the relevant historical non-GAAP financial measures indicate the page of this report on which the relevant reconciliation appears.The non-GAAP financial measures used in this report should not be considered in isolation as a measure of E.ON’s profitability or liquidity, and should be considered in addition to, rather than as a substitute for, net income, cash provided by operating activities, and the other income or cash flow data prepared in accor- dance with U.S. GAAP presented in this report and the relevant reconciliations. The non-GAAP financial measures used by E.ON may differ from, and not be comparable to, similarly titled measures used by other companies.

  • Swepol Link Sets New Environmental Standard for HVDC Transmission
    00 ABB Review 4/2001 SwePol Link sets new environmental standard for HVDC transmission Leif Söderberg, Bernt Abrahamsson Six cable links – all of them HVDC (high-voltage direct current) – are currently in service between the power grids of continental Europe and the Nordic region, with another five planned. The latest to be brought on line is the SwePol Link, which connects the electricity networks of Poland and Sweden. It is unique in that, unlike previous installations that depend on electrode stations to transmit the return current under ground or under water, it uses 20-kV XLPE cable to carry this current. The high-voltage HVDC submarine cable used for the SwePol Link is designed for 600 MW at 450 kV. he reason for all these links is the technically feasible to reverse the entire onds to prevent grid failure if the voltage T vital need to secure power system 600 MW power throughput of the in southern Sweden drops below 380 kV. reliability in each of the participating SwePol Link in just 1.3 seconds, although With all previous links of this kind, countries.
