Reg. G Reconciliation of Gross Margin to Revenue 25 Three Months Ended Sep 30, (In millions) 2014 2013 Operating revenues$754.7 $723.2 Cost of sales 305.3 273.0 Gross Margin$449.4 $450.2 Gross Margin is defined by OG&E as operating revenues less fuel, purchased power and certain transmission expenses. Gross margin is a non-GAAP financial measure because it excludes depreciation and amortization, and other operation and maintenance expenses. Expenses for fuel, purchased power and transmission expenses are recovered through fuel adjustment clauses and as a result changes in these expenses are offset in operating revenues with no impact on net income. OG&E believes gross margin provides a more meaningful basis for evaluating its operations across periods than operating revenues because gross margin excludes the revenue effect of fluctuations in these expenses. Gross margin is used internally to measure performance against budget and in reports for management and the Board of Directors. OG&E's definition of gross margin may be different from similar terms used by other companies.
