| 99.01 | Xcel Energy presentation to the Edison Electric Institute International Financial Conference on Feb. 16, 2004. |
Item 12. Results of Operations and Financial Condition
On Feb. 16, 2004, Xcel Energy will present information regarding Xcel Energy’s recent results of operations and financial condition. The presentation contains material, non-public information. In addition, it contains financial measures, which are not based on generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). These measures have adjusted forecasted GAAP cash flows to summarize the significant components of the cash flow statement, which management is most able to accurately forecast. Management believes this information is useful with respect to formulating a future cash flow expectation. The cash flow information reflects a summary of cash from operations, as well as components of cash used in investing activities and cash used in financing activities. The measures do not reflect payments of current maturities of long-term debt, which are expected to be $160 million in 2004 and $224 million in 2005. Management has not determined whether these maturities will be refinanced with new debt or paid with cash on hand. The measures also do not include cash used for investments in the external decommissioning fund. Investments in nonregulated entities and issuances of equity are not expected to be significant.
See additional information in the presentation furnished as exhibit 99.01.
