3 Second Quarter 2014 Earnings Conference Call – August 7, 2014 In this presentation, we make statements concerning our expectations, beliefs, plans, objectives, goals, strategies, and future events or performance. These statements are "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future results and conditions. Although we believe that these forward-looking statements and the underlying assumptions are reasonable, we cannot provide assurance that such statements will prove correct. Forward-looking statements involve a number of risks and uncertainties. Some risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied in forward-looking statements include those described in Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013, as may be amended or supplemented in Part II, Item 1A of our subsequently filed Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q. Other risks and uncertainties are set forth in greater detail in the aforementioned filing with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission and in Slide 49 in the Appendix. You are encouraged to read and understand the disclaimers set forth in these filings. All forward-looking statements included in this presentation are based upon information presently available, and we, except to the extent required by the federal securities laws, undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise.

4 Second Quarter 2014 Earnings Conference Call – August 7, 2014 Non-GAAP Financial Information integrys We prepare financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (GAAP). In addition, we disclose and discuss diluted earnings per share (EPS) – adjusted and adjusted earnings (loss), which are non-GAAP measures. Management uses these measures in its internal performance reporting and for reports to the Board of Directors. We disclose these measures in our quarterly earnings releases, on investor conference calls, and during investor conferences and related events. Management believes that diluted EPS – adjusted and adjusted earnings (loss) are useful measures for providing investors with additional insight into our operating performance. These measures allow investors to better compare our financial results from period to period, as they eliminate the effects of certain items that are not comparable. This additional information is not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for our results of operations prepared and presented in conformance with GAAP. Tax impacts are calculated using the applicable combined federal and state statutory rate modified for any attributable permanent tax effect and/or tax credit. A reconciliation of non-GAAP information to GAAP information is included on the slide where the information appears.
