Balance Sheet Strengthening

AES further strengthened its balance sheet in the second quarter by completing non-recourse debt Non-Recourse Debt

Business Segment Results

AESs business segments, which include Contract Generation, Large Utilities, Competitive Supply and Growth Distribution generated combined income before income taxes (EBT EBT

See: Earnings Before Taxes
) of $345 million for the second quarter of 2002 as compared to $420 million during the same period last year. On a geographic basis, EBT for the second quarter of 2002 was generated 37% from North America, 26% from South America, 9% from the Caribbean, 14% from Asia and 14% from Europe and Africa.

Contract Generation

Contract Generation consists of our power plants located around the world that have contractually limited their exposure to commodity price risks (primarily electricity prices) for a period of at least five years and for 75% or more of their expected output capacity.

For the second quarter of 2002, Contract Generation revenues were $646 million, a slight increase over 2001, and represented 28% of total revenues for the quarter. The most significant contributions continued to be from North and South America, which in aggregate comprised 62% of Contract Generation revenue for the quarter as compared to 65% for the second quarter of 2001. Revenues were enhanced with the addition of a global mix of new businesses totaling 1,684 mw (added subsequent to the second quarter of 2001), including Ironwood ironwood: see hornbeam.

Competitive Supply

Competitive Supply consists primarily of our power plants selling electricity directly to wholesale customers in competitive markets and as a result are generally more sensitive to fluctuations in the market price of electricity, natural gas and coal, in particular. During the second quarter, AES announced the sale of NewEnergy, a competitive retail supply business for approximately $240 million.

For the second quarter of 2002, revenues for this segment were $421 million and represented 18% of total revenues for the quarter.

The operating margin (as a percentage of sales) for our Competitive Supply segment was 22% in the second quarter of 2002, an increase from 19% in the second quarter of 2001. Improvements in margins and margin percentages were most significant at Drax in the UK where the margin percentage increased by 7% year over year as well as increases in both factors at Chivor in Colombia, Panama and Altai in Kazakhstan. These improvements were partially offset by lower margins at all plants in Argentina, except for the coal fired plant at San Nicholas, and lower margins at the New York plants arising from lower market prices in that region. Overall, operating margin for competitive supply improved 8% to $92 million for the second quarter of 2002.

As a result of these improved margins, and notwithstanding lower wholesale prices in several regions during the second quarter of 2002, Competitive Supply generated $45 million of EBT (or 13% of the total) for the second quarter of 2002, a significant increase from the 2001 second quarter EBT of $17 million (or 4%).

It is an area of mostly flat prairie.  for an enterprise value of approximately $1.4 billion. As a result of the pending sale, CILCORPs results are included in the income statement for both 2001 and 2002 periods as a discontinued operation and are therefore excluded from the discussion below.

For the second quarter of 2002, revenues for this segment were $892 million and represented 39% of total revenues for the quarter. The significant increase in revenues of 109% resulted from consolidating the results of Eletropaulo (serving Sao Paulo, Brazil) beginning in February 2002 when AES acquired control of that business with a 68% voting interest Voting interest in business and accounting is a percentage of voting stock owned. This notion is different from economic interest that refers to a percentage of all the equity issued, including preferred stock, warrants, and so on.  (increased from 49% prior to that date when Eletropaulo was treated as an equity affiliate). Additional revenues from Eletropaulo of $529 million were offset by a 5% decrease in revenues at IPALCO to $197 million due primarily to milder weather in 2002 and a 24% decrease in revenues at EDC to $165 million primarily due to the devaluation of the Bolivar during 2002.

The operating margin was $199 million for the quarter, an increase of 23% over 2001 due to the consolidation of Eletropaulo and an improvement in the margin at IPALCO. These increases were offset by a decline in the operating margin at EDC. As a percentage of sales the operating margin for large utilities was 22%, down from 38% for the second quarter of 2001 because of the reductions in margin at EDC resulting in part from the devaluation of the Bolivar as well as lower than average segment margins at Eletropaulo during the second quarter of 2002 because of slower than anticipated recovery of electricity demand from the effects of rationing in Brazil in that ended in March 2002.

Large Utilities generated $128 million of EBT (or 37% of the total) for the second quarter of 2002, down from the second quarter EBT for 2001 of $300 million (or 71%). The reduction in second quarter 2002 was caused by reduced contributions (after associated interest costs) from Eletropaulo and EDC because of the factors discussed above.

Growth Distribution

Our Growth Distribution businesses continued to show strengthened profitability during the second quarter of 2002. This segment, serving over 5 million customers, consists of electricity distribution companies that are generally located in developing countries or regions where the demand for electricity is expected to grow at a rate higher than in more developed regions.

For the second quarter of 2002, revenues were $332 million and represented 15% of total revenues for the quarter. The Caribbean represents the most significant contributor representing 42% of growth distribution revenues, while South America represents and 33% and Europe and Africa contributing the remaining 25% for the quarter.

                        Historical Parent Operating Cash Flow
                          and Interest Coverage Information

----------------------------------------------------------------------

Parent Operating Cash Flow reflects cash payments to the holding
company (the "Parent Company") from its subsidiary operating
businesses (consisting of dividends, consulting and management fees,
tax sharing payments and interest income), less Parent operating
expenses. Parent Operating Cash Flow is measured after payment of
principal and interest on non-recourse debt as well as maintenance
capital expenditures at those businesses. As a result, it represents
the cash flow that is available to service the Parent Company's
liquidity needs, including debt service.

In the forecast tables below, historical (actual) information is
denoted with an "A" next to the year and forecasted information is
denoted with an "F" next to the year. For more detailed information
regarding Parent Operating Cash Flow, see the notes below.
