“Safe Harbor” Statement under the
                       Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995
This presentation contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Although AEP and each of its Registrant
Subsidiaries believe that their expectations are based on reasonable assumptions, any such statements may be influenced by factors that could cause actual outcomes
and results to be materially different from those projected. Among the factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking
statements are: the economic growth or contraction within and changes in market demand and demographic patterns in our service territories, inflationary or deflationary
interest rate trends, volatility in the financial markets, particularly developments affecting the availability or cost of capital to finance new capital projects and refinance
existing debt, the availability and cost of funds to finance working capital and capital needs, particularly during periods when the time lag between incurring costs and
recovery is long and the costs are material, electric load and customer growth, weather conditions, including storms and drought conditions, and our ability to recover
significant storm restoration costs, the cost of fuel and its transportation, the creditworthiness and performance of fuel suppliers and transporters and the cost of storing and
disposing of used fuel, including coal ash and spent nuclear fuel, availability of necessary generation capacity, the performance of our generation plants and the availability
of fuel, including processed nuclear fuel, parts and service from reliable vendors, our ability to recover fuel and other energy costs through regulated or competitive electric
rates, our ability to build transmission lines and facilities (including our ability to obtain any necessary regulatory approvals and permits) when needed at acceptable prices
and terms and to recover those costs, new legislation, litigation and government regulation, including oversight of nuclear generation, energy commodity trading and new or
heightened requirements for reduced emissions of sulfur, nitrogen, mercury, carbon, soot or particulate matter and other substances that could impact the continued
operation, cost recovery and/or profitability of our generation plants and related assets, evolving public perception of the risks associated with fuels used before, during and
after the generation of electricity, including nuclear fuel, a reduction in the federal statutory tax rate could result in an accelerated return of deferred federal income taxes to
customers, timing and resolution of pending and future rate cases, negotiations and other regulatory decisions, including rate or other recovery of new investments in
generation, distribution and transmission service and environmental compliance, resolution of litigation, our ability to constrain operation and maintenance costs, our ability
to develop and execute a strategy based on a view regarding prices of electricity and gas, prices and demand for power that we generate and sell at wholesale, changes in
technology, particularly with respect to energy storage and new, developing, alternative or distributed sources of generation, our ability to recover through rates any
remaining unrecovered investment in generation units that may be retired before the end of their previously projected useful lives, volatility and changes in markets for
capacity and electricity, coal and other energy-related commodities, particularly changes in the price of natural gas, changes in utility regulation and the allocation of costs
within regional transmission organizations, including ERCOT, PJM and SPP, our ability to successfully and profitably manage our competitive generation assets, including
the evaluation and execution of strategic alternatives for these assets as some of the alternatives could result in a loss, changes in the creditworthiness of the
counterparties with whom we have contractual arrangements, including participants in the energy trading market, actions of rating agencies, including changes in the
ratings of our debt, the impact of volatility in the capital markets on the value of the investments held by our pension, other postretirement benefit plans, captive insurance
entity and nuclear decommissioning trust and the impact of such volatility on future funding requirements, accounting pronouncements periodically issued by accounting
standard-setting bodies and other risks and unforeseen events, including wars, the effects of terrorism (including increased security costs), embargoes, cyber security
threats and other catastrophic events.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
AEP reports its financial results in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (GAAP). AEP supplements the reporting of financial
information determined in accordance with GAAP with certain non-GAAP financial measures, including operating earnings (non-GAAP) and FFO to Total Debt. Operating
earnings (non-GAAP) excludes certain gains and losses and other specified items, including mark-to-market adjustments from commodity hedging activities and other
items as set forth in the reconciliation in the Appendix. FFO to Total Debt is adjusted for the effects of securitization, spent nuclear fuel trust, capital and operating leases,
pension, capitalized interest and changes in working capital. Operating earnings could differ from GAAP earnings for matters such as impairments, divestitures, or
changes in accounting principles. AEP management is not able to forecast if any of these items will occur or any amounts that may be reported for future periods.
Therefore, AEP is not able to provide a corresponding GAAP equivalent for earnings guidance. Reflecting special items recorded through the third quarter of 2017, the
estimated earnings per share on a GAAP basis would be $3.80 to $3.93 per share.

This information is intended to enhance an investor’s overall understanding of period over period financial results and provide an indication of AEP’s baseline operating
performance by excluding items that are considered by management to be not directly related to the ongoing operations of the business. In addition, this information is
among the primary indicators management uses as a basis for evaluating performance, allocating resources, setting incentive compensation targets and planning and
forecasting of future periods.

These non-GAAP financial measures are not a presentation defined under GAAP and may not be comparable to other companies’ presentations. AEP has provided these
non-GAAP financial measures as supplemental information and in addition to the financial measures that are calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP. These
non-GAAP measures should not be deemed more useful than, a substitute for, or an alternative to the most comparable GAAP measures provided in the materials
presented. Reconciliations of these non-GAAP measures to the most comparable GAAP measures are provided in the appendices and supplemental schedules to this
presentation.
