The information in this Current Report on Form 8-K, including the exhibits attached hereto, shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or otherwise subject to the liabilities under that Section. Furthermore, such information, including the exhibits attached hereto, shall not be deemed to be incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference in such filing.
On May 3, 2017, The Southern Company (“Southern Company”) issued a press release regarding its earnings for the three months ended March 31, 2017. A copy of this release is being furnished as Exhibit 99.01 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Exhibits 99.01, 99.02, 99.03 and 99.04 to this Current Report on Form 8-K, in addition to including earnings and earnings per share in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, also include earnings and earnings per share (1) for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2017 and 2016 excluding charges for estimated probable losses relating to Mississippi Power Company’s construction of the integrated coal gasification combined cycle facility in Kemper County, Mississippi (the “Kemper IGCC”), (2) for the three-month period ended March 31, 2017 excluding charges for a write-down of Gulf Power Company’s ownership of Plant Scherer Unit 3, (3) for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2017 and 2016 excluding costs related to the acquisition and integration of Southern Company Gas, (4) for the three-month period ended March 31, 2017 excluding earnings from the Wholesale Gas Services business of Southern Company Gas, and (5) for the three-month period ended March 31, 2017 excluding earnings related to the equity return related to the Kemper IGCC schedule extension beyond November 30, 2016. The attached exhibits include additional information regarding these excluded items, as well as reconciliations of each non-GAAP financial measure to the most comparable financial measure under GAAP. Southern Company believes the presentation of earnings and earnings per share, excluding these items, is useful to investors because it provides investors with additional information to evaluate the performance of Southern Company’s ongoing business activities. Southern Company management also uses earnings and earnings per share, excluding the effect of these items, to evaluate the performance of Southern Company’s ongoing business activities. The presentation of this additional information is not meant to be considered a substitute for financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP.
