Cautionary Statements
Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
In this presentation, Ameren has presented weather-normalized and core earnings per share, which are non-GAAP financial measures and may not be comparable to those of other
companies. A reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP information is included in this presentation. Generally, core earnings or losses include earnings or losses attributable to Ameren
common shareholders and exclude income or loss from significant discrete items that management does not consider representative of ongoing earnings, such as the third quarter 2018
non-cash charge for the revaluation of deferred taxes resulting from a December 2017 change in federal law that decreased the federal corporate income tax rate. Ameren uses core
earnings internally for financial planning and for analysis of performance. Ameren also uses core earnings as the primary performance measurement when communicating with analysts
and investors regarding its earnings results and outlook, as the company believes that core earnings allow the company to more accurately compare its ongoing performance across
periods. Weather-normalized earnings exclude estimated effects of weather compared to normal, as calculated internally using data from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric
Administration for the applicable period.
Forward-looking Statements
Statements in this presentation not based on historical facts are considered "forward-looking" and, accordingly, involve risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ
materially from those discussed. Although such forward-looking statements have been made in good faith and are based on reasonable assumptions, there is no assurance that the
expected results will be achieved. These statements include (without limitation) statements as to future expectations, beliefs, plans, projections, strategies, targets, estimates, objectives,
events, conditions, and financial performance. In connection with the "safe harbor" provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, Ameren is providing this cautionary
statement to identify important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those anticipated. In addition to factors discussed in this presentation, Ameren’s Annual
Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020, and its other reports filed with the SEC under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 contain a list of factors and a discussion
of risks that could cause actual results to differ materially from management expectations suggested in such “forward-looking” statements. All “forward-looking” statements included in this
presentation are based upon information presently available, and Ameren, except to the extent required by the federal securities laws, undertakes no obligation to update or revise
publicly any “forward-looking” statements to reflect new information or current events.
Earnings Guidance and Growth Expectations
In this presentation, Ameren has presented 2021 earnings guidance effective as of May 11, 2021, and multi-year growth expectations that were effective as of February 19, 2021.
Earnings guidance for 2021 and multi-year growth expectations assume normal temperatures for all periods after March 2021 and December 2020, respectively, and, along with
estimates for long-term infrastructure investment opportunities, are subject to the effects of, among other things, the impact of COVID-19; changes in 30-year U.S. Treasury bond yields;
regulatory, judicial and legislative actions; energy center and energy distribution operations; energy, economic, capital and credit market conditions; severe storms; unusual or otherwise
unexpected gains or losses; and other risks and uncertainties outlined, or referred to, in the Forward-looking Statements section of this presentation and in Ameren’s periodic reports filed
with the SEC.
