MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
(Dollars in millions except per share data, unless otherwise noted)
Exelon
Executive Overview
Exelon is a utility services holding company engaged in the energy transmission and distribution businesses through its six reportable segments: ComEd, PECO, BGE, Pepco, DPL, and ACE. See Note 1 - Significant Accounting Policies and Note 4 - Segment Information of the Combined Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information regarding Exelon's principal subsidiaries and reportable segments.
Exelon's consolidated financial information includes the results of its seven separate operating subsidiary registrants, ComEd, PECO, BGE, PHI, Pepco, DPL, and ACE, which, along with Exelon, are collectively referred to as the Registrants. The following combined Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations is separately filed by Exelon, ComEd, PECO, BGE, PHI, Pepco, DPL, and ACE. However, none of the Registrants makes any representation as to information related solely to any of the other Registrants.
Financial Results of Operations
GAAP Results of Operations. The following table sets forth Exelon's GAAP consolidated Net income attributable to common shareholders by Registrant for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026 compared to the same period in 2025. For additional information regarding the financial results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025, see the discussions of Results of Operations by Registrant.

(a)Other primarily includes eliminating and consolidating adjustments, Exelon's corporate operations, shared service entities, and other financing and investment activities.
Three Months Ended September 30, 2026 Compared to Three Months Ended September 30, 2025. Net income attributable to common shareholders decreased by $146 million and diluted earnings per average common share decreased to $0.70 in 2026 from $0.86 in 2025 primarily due to:
•Higher write-offs associated with Pepco's Maryland Base Rate Case at PHI;
•Higher storm costs at PECO due to the absence of extraordinary February and June storm cost deferrals recognized in 2025 and increased storm costs;
•Higher interest expense at PECO, PHI, and Exelon Corporate;
•Higher project impairments at BGE;
•Higher depreciation expense at PECO and PHI;
•Higher income taxes at PECO;
•Higher contracting costs at PECO; and
•Higher storm costs at PHI.
Note that rate increases are associated with updated recovery rates for costs and investments to serve customers. The decreases were partially offset by:
•Favorable impacts of approved rate increases at ComEd, BGE and PHI;
•Higher AFUDC at ComEd;
•Absence of Customer Surcharge Credits at PECO;
•Favorable weather at PECO;
•Lower contracting costs at BGE; and
•Lower income taxes at Exelon Corporate.
Nine Months Ended September 30, 2026 Compared to Nine Months Ended September 30, 2025. Net income attributable to common shareholders decreased by $130 million and diluted earnings per average common share decreased to $1.98 in 2026 from $2.15 in 2025 primarily due to:
•Higher write-offs associated with Pepco's Maryland Base Rate Case at PHI;
•Higher interest expense at PECO, PHI, and Exelon Corporate;
•Higher depreciation expense at PECO and PHI;
•Timing of distribution earnings at ComEd;
•Higher storm costs at PECO due to the absence of extraordinary February and June storm cost deferrals recognized in 2025;
•Higher project impairments at BGE;
•Higher contracting costs at PECO;
•Higher income taxes at PECO;
•Higher credit loss expense at BGE;
•Higher storm costs at PHI; and
•Unfavorable impacts of the Pepco Maryland multi-year plan reconciliation at PHI.
Note that rate increases are associated with updated recovery rates for costs and investments to serve customers, driving top quartile reliability and avoiding outage costs. The decreases were partially offset by:
•Favorable impacts of approved rate increases at ComEd, BGE and PHI;
•Absence of Customer Relief Fund contribution at Exelon Corporate;
•Higher AFUDC at ComEd;
•Absence of Customer Surcharge Credits at PECO;
•Favorable weather at PECO;
•Lower contracting costs at BGE;
•Lower storm costs at PECO; and
•Lower income taxes at Exelon Corporate.
Adjusted (non-GAAP) operating earnings. In addition to Net income, Exelon evaluates its operating performance using the measure of Adjusted (non-GAAP) operating earnings because management believes it represents earnings directly related to the ongoing operations of the business. Adjusted (non-GAAP) operating earnings exclude certain costs, expenses, gains and losses, and other specified items. This information is intended to enhance an investor's overall understanding of year-over-year operating results and provide an indication of Exelon's baseline operating performance excluding items not considered by management to be directly related to the ongoing operations of the business. In addition, this information is among the primary indicators management uses as a basis for evaluating performance, allocating resources, setting incentive compensation targets, and planning and forecasting of future periods. Adjusted (non-GAAP) operating earnings is not a presentation defined under GAAP and may not be comparable to other companies' presentations or deemed more useful than the GAAP information provided elsewhere in this report.
The following table provides a reconciliation between GAAP Net income attributable to common shareholders and Adjusted (non-GAAP) operating earnings for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026 compared to the same period in 2025:

Significant 2026 Transactions and Developments
Distribution Base Rate Case Proceedings
The Utility Registrants file base rate cases with their regulatory commissions seeking increases or decreases to their electric transmission and distribution, and gas distribution rates to recover their costs and earn a fair return on their investments. The outcomes of these regulatory proceedings impact the Utility Registrants' current and future financial statements.
The following tables show the Utility Registrants' completed and pending distribution base rate case proceedings in 2026. See Note 2 - Regulatory Matters of the Combined Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.

PECO will continue to evaluate the timing and approach for future capital investments and potential regulatory filings. Any decisions related to capital investments to support longer-term grid modernization will be informed by customer affordability considerations, system reliability needs, and ongoing engagement with regulators and other stakeholders. As PECO assesses longer-term grid needs, it remains committed to providing safe and reliable service.
Corporate Alternative Minimum Tax (All Registrants)
On August 16, 2022, the IRA was signed into law and implements a new corporate alternative minimum tax (CAMT) that imposes a 15.0% tax on modified GAAP net income. Corporations will now pay the greater of 15.0% of financial statement pre-tax income (with certain adjustments) or their regular federal tax liability, which is federal taxable income multiplied by the 21.0% federal corporate tax rate. Corporations are entitled to a tax credit (minimum tax credit) to the extent the CAMT liability exceeds the regular tax liability. This amount can be carried forward indefinitely and used in future years when regular tax exceeds the CAMT.
For the years ended December 31, 2025, December 31, 2024, and December 31, 2023, based on the existing guidance in effect at that time, Exelon and each of the Utility Registrants were subject to and reported the CAMT on a separate Registrant basis in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income and the Consolidated Balance Sheets.
On February 18, 2026, the U.S. Treasury issued guidance addressing the implementation of CAMT in the form of a notice. The new guidance permits corporate taxpayers to deduct repair and maintenance costs in the calculation of their CAMT liabilities. The notice applies retroactively, permitting Exelon to file amended returns for both 2024 and 2023 to reduce its CAMT liability by $80 million. Pursuant to the TMA, Exelon received
reimbursement from Constellation for $235 million due to the reduction in the amount of Constellation's tax credits needed to offset Exelon's CAMT liability on its amended returns. See Note 7 - Income Taxes of the Combined Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.
The impact of the notice was recorded as of March 31, 2026.
At-the-Market Program
In the third quarter of 2026, Exelon issued approximately 2.3 million shares of Common stock at a weighted-average net price of $43.29 per share. The net proceeds from the issuance were $101 million, which were used for general corporate purposes. See Note 13 - Shareholders' Equity of the Combined Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.
Other Key Business Drivers and Management Strategies
The following discussion of other key business drivers and management strategies includes current developments of previously disclosed matters and new issues arising during the period that may impact future financial statements. This section should be read in conjunction with ITEM 1. Business in the 2025 Form 10-K, ITEM 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Other Key Business Drivers and Management Strategies in the 2025 Form 10-K, and Note 12 - Commitments and Contingencies of the Combined Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in this report for additional information on various environmental matters.
Exelon's Cost Saving Strategy (All Registrants)
In May 2026, Exelon announced plans to identify approximately $350 million of operating and maintenance costs savings at Exelon and the Utility Registrants in 2027. This announcement is a result of Exelon's continuous focus on the needs of our customers through enhanced efficiency and productivity.
Allocation of Income Taxes to Regulated Utilities (All Registrants)
In Q2 2024, the IRS issued a series of PLRs, to another taxpayer, providing guidance with respect to the application of the tax normalization rules to the allocation of consolidated tax benefits among the members of a consolidated group associated with NOLC for ratemaking purposes. The rulings provide that for ratemaking purposes the tax benefit of NOLC should be reflected on a separate company basis not taking into consideration the utilization of losses by other affiliates. A PLR issued to another taxpayer may not be relied on as precedent.
For the Utility Registrants, except for PECO, the methodology prescribed by the IRS in these PLRs could result in a material reduction of the regulatory liability established for EDITs arising from the TCJA corporate tax rate change that are being amortized and flowed through to customers as well as a reduction in the accumulated deferred income taxes included in rate base for ratemaking purposes of approximately $0.8 billion - $1.2 billion.
The Utility Registrants, except for PECO, filed PLR requests with the IRS confirming the treatment of the NOLC for ratemaking purposes. The Utility Registrants will record the impact, if any, upon receiving the PLR from the IRS.
Legislative and Regulatory Developments
Maryland Utility Relief Act (Exelon, BGE, PHI, Pepco, and DPL)
On May 12, 2026, the Governor of Maryland signed into law legislation that addresses several matters pertaining to electric and gas utilities, including a moratorium on rate cases with forecasted test years until April 1, 2027. Additionally, BGE, Pepco and DPL are required to participate as a member in an RTO effective July 1, 2026, which resulted in a complaint filed on July 2, 2026 against Maryland Transmission Operators, including BGE, Pepco, and DPL, at FERC for the removal of the 50-basis-point incentive adder in the transmission formula rates. The final outcome and resolution of the complaint filing cannot be predicted and the results are not expected to be material to Exelon, BGE, PHI, Pepco, and DPL financial statements.
PJM Cost Allocation Methodology (All Registrants)
On October 7, 2026, FERC issued an order providing additional direction on its March 6, 2026 order. The March 6, 2026, order required PJM to eliminate the de minimis threshold exemption used to allocate certain transmission reliability upgrade costs to the rate zones of PJM Transmission Owners, including the Utility Registrants. FERC also directed PJM to recalculate historical cost allocations beginning June 18, 2015, and, as applicable, pass through additional charges or payments to PJM customers, including the Utility Registrants, as applicable, with interest. The October 6th order also directed that hearing and settlement proceedings be held to determine how PJM should reflect changes in market participants during the 15-year refund and surcharge period. An appeal of FERC's March 6th order remains pending before the United States Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit.
The final impact of these proceedings cannot be predicted or reasonably estimated at this time, but could be material to the financial statements.
New Jersey Repeal RTO Adder Bill (Exelon, PHI, and ACE)
On July 7, 2026, the Governor of New Jersey signed into law legislation that addresses several matters pertaining to electric utility companies. As part of the legislation ACE is required to participate as a member in an RTO effective January 1, 2027, which could result in a complaint filed for the removal of the 50-basis-point incentive adder in the transmission formula rates.
Delaware Senate Bill 326 (Exelon, PHI, and DPL)
On July 13, 2026, the Governor of Delaware signed into law legislation that addresses several matters pertaining to public utility companies. As part of the law, DPL's non-mandatory capital spend eligible to be recovered in rates will be limited to $70 million in each of the years ended 2026 and 2027 unless the spend falls within an exception or the commission orders otherwise. Further, beginning in 2028, DPL's non-mandatory capital spend eligible to be recovered in rates shall not exceed 5% of DPL's rate base approved in its most recent base rate case. The legislation also modifies the timing of interim rate recovery in base rate case proceedings. If the DEPSC has not issued a decision within 7 months of a filing, DPL may implement 50% of the proposed rate increase, subject to refund. If no decision has been issued after 12 months, DPL may implement 75% of the proposed increase, also subject to refund. DPL is continuing to evaluate the overall potential impacts of the legislation and will continue to monitor related regulatory developments.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Management of each of the Registrants makes a number of significant estimates, assumptions, and judgments in the preparation of its financial statements. As of September 30, 2026, the Registrants' critical accounting policies and estimates had not changed significantly from December 31, 2025. See ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates in the 2025 Form 10-K for further information.

Three Months Ended September 30, 2026 Compared to Three Months Ended September 30, 2025. Net Income increased by $33 million as compared to the same period in 2025, primarily due to higher distribution and transmission rate base driven by incremental investments to serve customers and higher AFUDC.
Nine Months Ended September 30, 2026 Compared to Nine Months Ended September 30, 2025. Net income increased by $62 million as compared to the same period in 2025, primarily due to higher distribution and transmission rate base driven by incremental investments to serve customers and higher AFUDC, offset by the timing of distribution earnings.
The changes in Operating revenues consisted of the following:

Revenue Decoupling. The demand for electricity is affected by weather and customer usage. Operating revenues are not intended to be impacted by abnormal weather, usage per customer, or number of customers as a result of revenue decoupling mechanisms.
Distribution Revenue. Starting in 2024, distribution revenues are under a MRP. The MRP requires an annual reconciliation of the revenue requirement in effect to the actual costs the ICC determines are prudently and reasonably incurred. Electric distribution revenue varies from year to year based upon fluctuations in the underlying costs (e.g., severe weather and storm restoration), investments being recovered, and allowed ROE. Electric distribution revenues increased for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026 as compared to the same periods in 2025, primarily due to higher rate base and higher fully recoverable costs.
ComEd
Transmission Revenue. Under a FERC-approved formula, transmission revenue varies from year to year based upon fluctuations in the underlying costs and capital investments being recovered. Transmission revenues increased for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026 compared to the same periods in 2025, primarily due to higher rate base and higher fully recoverable costs.
Energy Efficiency Revenue. Energy efficiency revenues are under a performance-based formula rate, which requires an annual reconciliation of the revenue requirement in effect to the actual costs the ICC determines are prudently and reasonably incurred in a given year. Energy efficiency revenue varies from year to year based upon fluctuations in the underlying costs, investments being recovered, and allowed ROE. Energy efficiency revenues increased for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026 as compared to the same periods in 2025, primarily due to higher fully recoverable costs.
Other Revenue primarily includes assistance provided to other utilities through mutual assistance programs. Other revenues increased for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026 as compared to the same periods in 2025, which primarily reflects increased mutual assistance revenues associated with storm restoration efforts.
Regulatory Required Programs represent revenues collected under approved riders to recover costs incurred for regulatory programs. The riders are designed to provide full and current cost recovery as well as a return in certain instances. The costs of these programs are included in Purchased power expense, Operating and maintenance expense, Depreciation and amortization expense, and Taxes other than income taxes. One of our larger regulatory required programs is our customer choice program where customers have the choice to purchase electricity from competitive electric generation suppliers. Customer choice programs do not impact the volume of deliveries as ComEd remains the distribution service provider for all customers and charges a regulated rate for distribution service. For customers that choose to purchase electric generation from competitive suppliers, this is treated as a pass through for ComEd and therefore, financial results are not impacted if customers purchase electricity supply from these alternative suppliers. For customers that choose to purchase electric generation from ComEd, ComEd is permitted to recover costs from customers.
See Note 4 - Segment Information of the Combined Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for the presentation of ComEd's revenue disaggregation.
The decrease of $23 million and $230 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026, compared to the same periods in 2025, in Purchased Power Expense is offset in Operating revenues as part of regulatory required programs.

Taxes other than income taxes increased by $26 million and $42 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026, respectively, compared to the same period in 2025, primarily due to increased Assistance Charges for Electricity Distributors and increased utility property taxes.
Interest expense, net increased by $14 million and $33 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026, respectively, compared to the same period in 2025, primarily due to an increase in outstanding debt.
Other, net increased $10 million and $30 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2025, primarily due to higher AFUDC equity.
Effective income tax rates were 25.6% and 18.2% for the three months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively, and 25.1% and 18.2% for the nine months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively.

Three Months Ended September 30, 2026 Compared to Three Months Ended September 30, 2025. Net Income decreased by $85 million due to higher storm costs, tax repairs, some of which is timing, contracting, depreciation, and interest expense. The higher storm costs reflect the absence of extraordinary February and June storm cost deferrals recognized in the third quarter of 2025 and increased storm costs in the third quarter of 2026. These unfavorable impacts were partially offset by higher revenues, primarily due to the absence of surcharge credits to customers and favorable weather.
Nine Months Ended September 30, 2026 Compared to Nine Months Ended September 30, 2025. Net income decreased by $90 million due to higher storm costs, tax repairs, some of which is timing, contracting, depreciation, interest, and severance costs related to the cost management program. The higher storm costs reflect the absence of extraordinary storm cost deferrals recognized in the third quarter of 2025, partially offset by lower storm costs in 2026. These unfavorable impacts were partially offset by higher revenues, primarily due to the absence of surcharge credits to customers and favorable weather.

PECO
Weather. The demand for electricity and natural gas is affected by weather conditions. With respect to the electric business, very warm weather in summer months and, with respect to the electric and natural gas businesses, very cold weather in winter months are referred to as "favorable weather conditions" because these weather conditions result in increased deliveries of electricity and natural gas. Conversely, mild weather reduces demand. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026, compared to the same period in 2025, Operating revenues related to weather increased due to favorable weather conditions in PECO's service territory.
Heating and cooling degree-days are quantitative indices that reflect the demand for energy needed to heat or cool a home or business. Normal weather is determined based on historical average heating and cooling degree-days for a 30-year period in PECO's service territory. The changes in heating and cooling degree-days in PECO's service territory for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026, compared to the same period in 2025, and normal weather consisted of the following:
Three Months Ended September 30, % Change
PECO Service Territory 2026 2025 Normal 2026 vs. 2025 2026 vs. Normal

Cooling Degree-Days 1,711 1,521 1,426 12.5 % 20.0 %
Volume. Electric volume, exclusive of the effects of weather, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026 compared to the same period in 2025, decreased due to customer load. Natural gas volume for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026, compared to the same period in 2025, remained relatively consistent.

Transmission Revenue. Under a FERC-approved formula, transmission revenue varies from year to year based upon fluctuations in the underlying costs and capital investments being recovered. Transmission revenue for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026, compared to the same period in 2025, increased primarily due to increases in the underlying costs and capital investments.
Other Revenue primarily includes revenue related to late payment charges. Other revenue for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026, compared to the same period in 2025, increased primarily due to the absence of electric surcharge credits to customers recognized in 2025.
Regulatory Required Programs represent revenues collected under approved riders to recover costs incurred for regulatory programs. The riders are designed to provide full and current cost recovery as well as a return in certain instances. The costs of these programs are included in Purchased power and fuel expense, Operating and maintenance expense, Depreciation and amortization expense, and Income taxes. One of our larger regulatory required programs is our customer choice program where customers have the choice to purchase electricity and natural gas from competitive electric generation and natural gas suppliers. Customer choice programs do not impact the volume of deliveries as PECO remains the distribution service provider for all customers and charges a regulated rate for distribution service. For customers that choose to purchase electric generation or natural gas from competitive suppliers, this is treated as a pass through for PECO and therefore, financial results are not impacted if customers purchase electricity or natural gas supply from these alternative suppliers. For customers that choose to purchase electric generation or natural gas from PECO, PECO is permitted to recover costs from customers.
See Note 4 - Segment Information of the Combined Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for the presentation of PECO's revenue disaggregation.
The increase of $48 million and $207 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026, compared to the same period in 2025, in Purchased power and fuel expense is fully offset in Operating revenues as part of regulatory required programs.

Revenue Decoupling. The demand for electricity is affected by weather and customer usage. However, Operating revenues from electric distribution in Maryland are not impacted by abnormal weather or usage per customer as a result of a BSA that provides for a fixed distribution charge per customer by customer class. While Operating revenues from electric distribution customers in Maryland are not intended to be impacted by abnormal weather or usage per customer, they are impacted by changes in the number of customers.
Weather. The demand for electricity and natural gas in Delaware is affected by weather conditions. With respect to the electric business, very warm weather in summer months and, with respect to the electric and natural gas businesses, very cold weather in winter months are referred to as "favorable weather conditions" because these
DPL
weather conditions result in increased deliveries of electricity and natural gas. Conversely, mild weather reduces demand. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026 compared to the same period in 2025, Operating revenues related to weather increased due to favorable weather conditions in DPL's Delaware electric and natural gas service territories.
Heating and cooling degree days are quantitative indices that reflect the demand for energy needed to heat or cool a home or business. Normal weather is determined based on historical average heating and cooling degree days for a 20-year period in DPL's Delaware electric service territory and a 30-year period in DPL's Delaware natural gas service territory. The changes in heating and cooling degree days in DPL's Delaware service territory for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026, compared to same periods in 2025 and normal weather consisted of the following:

Distribution Revenue remained relatively consistent for the three months ended September 30, 2026 compared to the same period in 2025. During the nine months ended September 30, 2026, compared to the same period in 2025, distribution revenue increased primarily due to Delaware natural gas rates that became effective in 2025 & electric distribution rates that became effective in 2026.
Transmission Revenue. Under a FERC-approved formula, transmission revenue varies from year to year based upon fluctuations in the underlying costs and capital investments being recovered. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026 compared to the same period in 2025, transmission revenue increased due to increases in underlying costs and capital investments.
Other Revenue includes rental revenue, service connection fees, and mutual assistance revenues.
Regulatory Required Programs represent revenues collected under approved riders to recover costs incurred for regulatory programs. The riders are designed to provide full and current cost recovery as well as a return in certain instances. One of our larger regulatory required programs is our customer choice program where customers have the choice to purchase electricity from competitive electric generation suppliers; however, only certain commercial and industrial customers have the choice to purchase natural gas from competitive natural gas suppliers. Customer choice programs do not impact the volume of deliveries as DPL remains the distribution service provider for all customers and charges a regulated rate for distribution service. For customers that choose to purchase electric generation or natural gas from competitive suppliers, this is treated as a pass through for DPL and therefore, financial results are not impacted if customers purchase electricity or natural gas supply from these alternative suppliers. For customers that choose to purchase electric generation or natural gas from DPL, DPL is permitted to recover costs from customers.
See Note 4 - Segment Information of the Combined Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for the presentation of DPL's revenue disaggregation.
The increase of $45 million and $110 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2025 in Purchased power and fuel expense is fully offset in Operating revenues as part of regulatory required programs.

Revenue Decoupling. The demand for electricity is affected by weather and customer usage. However, Operating revenues from electric distribution in New Jersey are not intended to be impacted by abnormal weather or usage per customer as a result of the CIP which compares current distribution revenues by customer class to approved target revenues established in ACE's most recent distribution base rate case. The CIP is calculated annually, and recovery is subject to certain conditions, including an earnings test and ceilings on customer rate increases. While Operating revenues are not impacted by abnormal weather or usage per customer, they are impacted by changes in the number of customers.

Liquidity and Capital Resources (All Registrants)
All results included throughout the liquidity and capital resources section are presented on a GAAP basis.
The Registrants' operating and capital expenditures requirements are provided by internally generated cash flows from operations, as well as funds from external sources in the capital markets and through bank borrowings. The Registrants' businesses are capital intensive and require considerable capital resources. Each of the Registrants annually evaluates its financing plan, dividend practices, and credit line sizing, focusing on maintaining its investment grade ratings while meeting its cash needs to fund capital requirements, including construction expenditures, retire debt, pay dividends, and fund pension and OPEB obligations. The Registrants spend a significant amount of cash on capital improvements and construction projects that have a long-term return on investment. Additionally, the Utility Registrants operate in rate-regulated environments in which the amount of new investment recovery may be delayed or limited and where such recovery takes place over an extended period of time. Each Registrant's access to external financing on reasonable terms depends on its credit ratings and current overall capital market business conditions, including that of the utility industry in general. If these conditions deteriorate to the extent that the Registrants no longer have access to the capital markets at reasonable terms, the Registrants have access to credit facilities with aggregate bank commitments of $4.0 billion. The Registrants utilize their credit facilities to support their commercial paper programs, provide for other short-term borrowings, and to issue letters of credit. See the "Credit Matters and Cash Requirements" section below for additional information. The Registrants expect cash flows to be sufficient to meet operating expenses, financing costs, and capital expenditure requirements. See Note 10 - Debt and Credit Agreements of the Combined Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information on the Registrants' debt and credit agreements.
Cash Flows from Operating Activities
The Utility Registrants' cash flows from operating activities primarily result from the transmission and distribution of electricity and, in the case of PECO, BGE, and DPL, gas distribution services. The Utility Registrants' distribution services are provided to an established and diverse base of retail customers. The Utility Registrants' future cash flows may be affected by the economy, weather conditions, future legislative initiatives, future regulatory proceedings with respect to their rates or operations, and their ability to achieve operating cost reductions. Additionally, ComEd is required to purchase CMCs from participating nuclear-powered generating facilities for a five-year period that began in June 2022, and all of its costs of doing so will be recovered through a rider. The price to be paid for each CMC is established through a competitive bidding process. ComEd will provide net payments to, or collect net payments from, customers for the difference between customer credits issued and the credit to be received from the participating nuclear-powered generating facilities. ComEd's cash flows are affected by the establishment of CMC prices and the timing of recovering costs through the CMC regulatory asset.
See Note 2 - Regulatory Matters of the 2025 Form 10-K and Notes 2 - Regulatory Matters and 12 - Commitments and Contingencies of the Combined Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information on regulatory and legal proceedings and proposed legislation.
The following table provides a summary of the change in cash flows from operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025 by Registrant:

Increase (decrease) in cash flows from operating activities $ 394 $ 34 $ (13) $ 15 $ 251 $ 97 $ 98 $ 37
Changes in the Registrants' cash flows from operations were generally consistent with changes in each Registrant's respective results of operations, as adjusted by changes in working capital in the normal course of business, except as discussed below.
Significant changes in cash flows from operating activities were primarily due to the following:
•See Note 15 - Supplemental Financial Information of the Combined Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements and the Registrants' Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for additional information on non-cash operating activities.
•Changes in collateral depended upon whether the Registrant was in a net mark-to-market liability or asset position, and collateral may have been required to be posted with or collected from its counterparties. In addition, the collateral posting and collection requirements differed depending on whether the transactions were on an exchange or in the over-the-counter markets. Changes in collateral for the Registrants are dependent upon the credit exposure of procurement contracts that may require suppliers to post collateral. The amount of cash collateral received from external counterparties remained relatively consistent comparing the nine months ended September 30, 2026 to the nine months ended September 30, 2025. See Note 9 - Derivative Financial Instruments for additional information.
•See Note 7 - Income Taxes of the Combined Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements and the Registrants' Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for additional information on income taxes.
•Changes in Pension and non-pension postretirement benefit contributions relates to Exelon's increased contributions to the Qualified Plans during the nine months ended September 30, 2026. See Note 12 - Retirement Benefits of the 2025 Form 10-K for additional information.
•Changes in regulatory assets and liabilities, net, are due to the timing of cash payments for costs recoverable, or cash receipts for costs recovered, under our regulatory mechanisms differing from the recovery period of those costs. ComEd recognized a reduction in regulatory liabilities of $670 million and an increase in regulatory assets of $9 million related to CMCs for the nine months ended September 30, 2026 and a decrease in regulatory assets of $84 million related to CMCs for the nine months ended September 30, 2025. Included within the change in 2026 are payments for CMC nuclear production tax credits, which relate to a decrease in Accounts Receivable. ComEd's energy efficiency program recognized changes of $330 million and $311 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively. Additionally, ComEd recognized changes in the distributed generation rebates programs of $101 million and $63 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively. Also included within the changes is energy efficiency
and demand response programs spend for DPL and ACE of $3 million and $64 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2026, and $11 million and $37 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, respectively. BGE and Pepco had no energy efficiency and demand response programs spend recorded to the regulatory asset for the nine months ended September 30, 2026 and $64 million and $27 million, respectively, for the nine months ended September 30, 2025. PECO had no energy efficiency and demand response programs spend recorded to the regulatory asset for the nine months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025.
•Changes in working capital and other assets and liabilities for the Utility Registrants and Exelon Corporate totaled $1,022 million and $1,145 million, respectively. The change in working capital and other noncurrent assets and liabilities for Exelon Corporate and the Utility Registrants is dependent upon the normal course of operations for all Registrants. For ComEd, it is also dependent upon whether the participating nuclear-powered generating facilities are owed money from ComEd as a result of the established pricing for CMCs. For the nine months ended September 30, 2026, the established pricing has resulted in ComEd receiving payments from nuclear-powered generating facilities, which is reported within the cash flows from operations as a change in Accounts receivable. This change corresponds to a change in the Carbon mitigation credit regulatory mechanism. See Note 2 - Regulatory Matters of the Combined Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.

Significant changes in cash flows from financing activities were primarily due to the following:
•Changes in short-term borrowings, net, are driven by repayments on and issuances of notes due in less than 365 days. See Note 10 - Debt and Credit Agreements of the Combined Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information on short-term borrowings for the Registrants.
•Long-term debt, net, varies due to debt issuances and redemptions each year. See Note 10 - Debt and Credit Agreements of the Combined Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information on debt issuances. Refer to the "Debt" section below for additional information.
•Changes in intercompany money pool are driven by short-term borrowing needs. Refer below for more information regarding the intercompany money pool.
•Issuance of common stock relates to issuances of Exelon common stock during the second and third quarter of 2026. See Note 13 - Shareholders' Equity of the Combined Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.
•Exelon's ability to pay dividends on its common stock depends on the receipt of dividends paid by its operating subsidiaries. The payments of dividends to Exelon by its subsidiaries in turn depend on their results of operations and cash flows and other items affecting retained earnings. See Note 16 - Commitments and Contingencies of the 2025 Form 10-K for additional information on dividend restrictions. See below for quarterly dividends declared.

Credit Matters and Cash Requirements
The Registrants fund liquidity needs for capital investment, working capital, energy hedging, and other financial commitments through cash flows from continuing operations, public debt offerings, commercial paper markets, and large, diversified credit facilities. The credit facilities include $4.0 billion in aggregate total commitments of which $3.5 billion was available to support additional commercial paper as of September 30, 2026, and of which no financial institution has more than 6.2% of the aggregate commitments for the Registrants. The Registrants had access to the commercial paper markets and had availability under their revolving credit facilities during the nine months ended September 30, 2026 to fund their short-term liquidity needs, when necessary. Exelon Corporate and the Utility Registrants each have a 5-year revolving credit facility. See Note 10 - Debt and Credit Agreements of the Combined Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information. The Registrants routinely review the sufficiency of their liquidity position, including appropriate sizing of credit facility commitments, by performing various stress test scenarios, such as commodity price movements, increases in margin-related transactions, changes in hedging levels, and the impacts of hypothetical credit downgrades. The Registrants have continued to closely monitor events in the financial markets and the financial institutions associated with the credit facilities, including monitoring credit ratings and outlooks, credit default swap levels, capital raising, and merger activity. See PART I. ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS of the 2025 Form 10-K for additional information regarding the effects of uncertainty in the capital and credit markets.
The Registrants believe their cash flows from operating activities, access to credit markets, and their credit facilities provide sufficient liquidity to support the estimated future cash requirements.
At-the-Market Program
On May 2, 2025, Exelon executed an equity distribution agreement ("2025 Equity Distribution Agreement"), with certain sales agents and forward sellers and certain forward purchasers, establishing an ATM equity distribution program which it may offer and sell shares of its Common stock, having an aggregate gross sales price of up to $2.5 billion through May 2, 2028. Exelon has no obligation to offer or sell any shares of Common stock under the 2025 Equity Distribution Agreement and may, at any time, suspend or terminate offers and sales under the 2025 Equity Distribution Agreement. Exelon issued the following shares of Common stock in the second and third quarters of 2026:

_________
(a)Proceeds were used for general corporate purposes.
(b)In the second quarter of 2026, Exelon settled all forward sale agreements with a November 16, 2026 maturity date and a portion of the forward sale agreements with December 15, 2026 and July 30, 2027 maturity dates that were entered into by various forward sellers under the ATM program as outlined below.
(c)In the third quarter of 2026, Exelon settled a forward sale agreement with a December 15, 2026 maturity date that was entered into by the forward seller under the ATM program as outlined below.
In the first quarter of 2026, Exelon entered into various forward sale agreements under the 2025 ATM program. The forward sale agreements require Exelon to, at its election prior to the maturity date, either (i) physically settle the transactions by issuing shares of its Common stock to the forward counterparties in exchange for net proceeds at the then-applicable forward sale price specified by the agreements or (ii) net settle the transactions in whole or in part through the delivery to the forward counterparties or receipt from the forward counterparties of cash or shares in accordance with the provisions of the agreements. The following forward sale agreements were entered into under Exelon's ATM program in the first quarter of 2026:
Effective Period Shares Available
(in millions)
Weighted-Average Net Price Maturity Date
Q1 2026 5.4 $ 47.67 July 30, 2027
Q1 2026 6.4 $ 48.68 September 2, 2027
Additionally, the following forward sale agreements were entered into during the twelve months ended 2025 under Exelon's ATM program and were not settled as of December 31, 2025:
Effective Period Shares Available
(in millions)
Weighted-Average Net Price Maturity Date
Q2 2025 3.6 $ 43.17 November 16, 2026
Q3 2025 11.5 $ 43.73 December 15, 2026
Q4 2025 0.8 $ 45.42 December 15, 2026
No amounts have been or will be recorded on Exelon's Consolidated Balance Sheet with respect to the equity offerings until the equity forward sale agreements have been settled. Each initial forward sale price is subject to adjustment on a daily basis based on a floating interest rate factor and will decrease by other fixed amounts specified in the agreements. Until settlement of the equity forward, earnings per share dilution resulting from the agreement, if any, will be determined under the treasury stock method. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026, approximately 16.5 million and 16.3 million shares, respectively, under the forward sale agreements were not included in the calculation of diluted earnings per share because their effect would have been antidilutive.
Inclusive of the impact of the forward sale agreements, $1.0 billion of Common stock remained available for sale pursuant to the ATM program as of September 30, 2026.

Retirement Benefits
Management considers various factors when making pension funding decisions, including actuarially determined minimum contribution requirements under ERISA, contributions required to avoid benefit restrictions and at-risk status as defined by the Pension Protection Act of 2006 (the Act), management of the pension obligation, and regulatory implications. The Act requires the attainment of certain funding levels to avoid benefit restrictions (such as an inability to pay lump sums or to accrue benefits prospectively), and at-risk status (which triggers higher minimum contribution requirements and participant notification). The projected contributions reflect a funding strategy to make annual contributions with the objective of achieving 100% funded status on an ABO basis over time. This funding strategy helps minimize volatility of future period required pension contributions. Exelon's estimated annual qualified pension contributions will be $325 million in 2026. Unlike the qualified pension plans, Exelon's non-qualified pension plans are not funded, given that they are not subject to statutory minimum contribution requirements.
While OPEB plans are also not subject to statutory minimum contribution requirements, Exelon does fund certain of its plans. For Exelon's funded OPEB plans, contributions generally equal accounting costs. However, Exelon's management has historically considered several factors in determining the level of contributions to its OPEB plans, including liabilities management, levels of benefit claims paid, and regulatory implications (amounts deemed prudent to meet regulatory expectations and best assure continued rate recovery).
To the extent interest rates decline significantly or the pension and OPEB plans earn less than the expected asset returns, annual pension contribution requirements in future years could increase. Conversely, to the extent interest rates increase significantly or the pension and OPEB plans earn greater than the expected asset returns, annual pension and OPEB contribution requirements in future years could decrease. Additionally, expected contributions could change if Exelon changes its pension or OPEB funding strategy.
See Note 12 - Retirement Benefits of the Combined Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements of the 2025 Form 10-K for additional information on pension and OPEB contributions.
Credit Facilities
Exelon Corporate, ComEd, and BGE meet their short-term liquidity needs primarily through commercial paper issuances. PECO also utilizes commercial paper, supplemented by borrowings from the Exelon intercompany money pool. Pepco, DPL, and ACE similarly rely on commercial paper, along with borrowings from the PHI intercompany money pool. PHI Corporate meets its short-term liquidity needs through borrowings from the Exelon intercompany money pool. The Registrants may use their respective credit facilities for general corporate purposes, including meeting short-term funding requirements and the issuance of letters of credit.
See Note 10 - Debt and Credit Agreements of the Combined Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information on the Registrants' credit facilities and short-term borrowing activity.
Security Ratings
The Registrants' access to the capital markets, including the commercial paper market, and their respective financing costs in those markets, may depend on the securities ratings of the entity that is accessing the capital markets.
The Registrants' borrowings are not subject to default or prepayment as a result of a downgrading of securities, although such a downgrading of a Registrant's securities could increase fees and interest charges under that Registrant's credit agreements.
As part of the normal course of business, the Registrants enter into contracts that contain express provisions or otherwise permit the Registrants and their counterparties to demand adequate assurance of future performance when there are reasonable grounds for doing so. In accordance with the contracts and applicable contracts law, if the Registrants are downgraded by a credit rating agency, it is possible that a counterparty would attempt to rely on such a downgrade as a basis for making a demand for adequate assurance of future performance, which could include the posting of collateral. See Note 9 - Derivative Financial Instruments of the Combined Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information on collateral provisions.
The credit ratings for Exelon, ComEd, PHI, Pepco, DPL, and ACE did not change for the nine months ended September 30, 2026. On April 30, 2026, S&P lowered its long-term issuer credit rating and senior unsecured debt rating for BGE from 'A' to 'A-', and its short-term commercial paper rating for BGE from 'A-1' to 'A-2'. On July 15, 2026, Moody's lowered PECO's long-term issuer rating from 'A2' to 'A3', its senior secured debt rating from 'Aa3' to 'A1', and short-term commercial paper rating from 'P-1' to 'P-2'.
Intercompany Money Pool
To provide an additional short-term borrowing option that will generally be more favorable to the borrowing participants than the cost of external financing, both Exelon and PHI operate an intercompany money pool. Maximum amounts contributed to and borrowed from the money pool by participant and the net contribution or borrowing as of September 30, 2026, are presented in the following table:
During the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2026 At September 30, 2026

Shelf Registration Statements
On February 13, 2025, Exelon and ComEd filed a combined shelf registration statement on Form S-3 registering $12.6 billion in aggregate amount of securities, which was declared effective by the SEC on April 8, 2025. The shelf registration statement may be used to issue Exelon debt and equity securities as well as ComEd debt securities through the expiration date of April 8, 2028. On February 21, 2024, PECO and BGE filed with the SEC a standalone automatically effective shelf registration statement, unlimited in amount, which can be used to issue PECO and BGE debt securities through the expiration date of February 20, 2027. The ability of Exelon, ComEd, PECO and BGE to sell securities off their corresponding registration statements will depend on a number of factors at the time of the proposed sale, including other required regulatory approvals, as applicable, the current financial condition of the Registrant, its securities ratings, and market conditions.
Pepco, DPL, and ACE periodically issue securities through the private placement markets. Pepco, DPL and ACE's ability to access the private placement markets will depend on a number of factors at the time of the proposed sale, including other required regulatory approvals, as applicable, current financial condition, securities ratings and market conditions.
