All statements other than those that are purely historical may be forward-looking statements. In certain cases, forward-looking statements can be identified by the use of words such as &#8220;may,&#8221; &#8220;will,&#8221; &#8220;should,&#8221; &#8220;expect,&#8221; &#8220;anticipate,&#8221; &#8220;believe,&#8221; &#8220;intend,&#8221; &#8220;project,&#8221; &#8220;plan,&#8221; &#8220;predict,&#8221; &#8220;assume,&#8221; &#8220;forecast,&#8221; &#8220;estimate,&#8221; &#8220;objective,&#8221; &#8220;possible,&#8221; &#8220;probably,&#8221; &#8220;likely,&#8221; &#8220;potential,&#8221; or other similar expressions.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;text-indent:48px;font-size:11pt;"><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:11pt;">Although TVA believes that the assumptions underlying the forward-looking statements are reasonable, TVA does not guarantee the accuracy of these statements. Numerous factors could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements. Some of these factors are listed in the Forward-Looking Information section in TVA&#8217;s Quarterly Report of Form 10-Q for the quarter ended December 31, 2014.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;text-indent:48px;font-size:11pt;"><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:11pt;">Additionally, other risks that may cause actual results to differ materially from the predicted results are set forth in Item 1A, Risk Factors and Item 7, Management&#8217;s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in TVA&#8217;s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2014, and in Part I, Item 2, Management&#8217;s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, and Part II, Item 1A, Risk Factors, in TVA&#8217;s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended December 31, 2014. New factors emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for management to predict all such factors or to assess the extent to which any factor or combination of factors may impact TVA&#8217;s business or cause results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statement.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;font-size:10pt;"><font

Item 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure
On April 22, 2015, TVA's President and Chief Executive Officer William Johnson testified before the United States House Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure Subcommittee on Water Resources and Environment.  A copy of his written testimony is furnished as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report.
The furnished material contains forward-looking statements relating to future events and future performance. All statements other than those that are purely historical may be forward-looking statements. In certain cases, forward-looking statements can be identified by the use of words such as "may," "will," "should," "expect," "anticipate," "believe," "intend," "project," "plan," "predict," "assume," "forecast," "estimate," "objective," "possible," "probably," "likely," "potential," or other similar expressions.
Although TVA believes that the assumptions underlying the forward-looking statements are reasonable, TVA does not guarantee the accuracy of these statements. Numerous factors could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements. Some of these factors are listed in the Forward-Looking Information section in TVA's Quarterly Report of Form 10-Q for the quarter ended December 31, 2014.
Additionally, other risks that may cause actual results to differ materially from the predicted results are set forth in Item 1A, Risk Factors and Item 7, Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in TVA's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2014, and in Part I, Item 2, Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, and Part II, Item 1A, Risk Factors, in TVA's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended December 31, 2014. New factors emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for management to predict all such factors or to assess the extent to which any factor or combination of factors may impact TVA's business or cause results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statement.
TVA undertakes no obligation to update any forward-looking statement to reflect developments that occur after the statement is made or for any other reason.
