1. Basis of Presentation

Description of Business

We are a producer of carbon-free energy and a supplier of energy products and services. Our generating capacity includes primarily nuclear, wind, solar, natural gas and hydroelectric assets. Through our integrated business operations, we sell electricity, natural gas, and other energy-related products and sustainable solutions to various types of customers, including distribution utilities, municipalities, cooperatives, and commercial, industrial, governmental, and residential customers in markets across multiple geographic regions. We have five reportable segments: Mid-Atlantic, Midwest, New York, ERCOT and Other Power Regions.

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements as of June 30, 2024 and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 are unaudited but, in our opinion include all adjustments that are considered necessary for a fair statement of the financial statements in accordance with GAAP. All adjustments are of a normal, recurring nature, unless otherwise disclosed. The Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of our subsidiaries and all intercompany transactions have been eliminated. Constellation's December 31, 2023 Consolidated Balance Sheet was derived from audited financial statements. The interim financial statements are to be read in conjunction with prior annual financial statements and notes. Financial results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for any other interim period or for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2024. These Combined Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC for Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q. Certain information and note disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. Amounts disclosed relate to CEG Parent and Constellation unless specifically noted as relating to CEG Parent only. Unless otherwise indicated or the context otherwise requires, references herein to the terms “we,” “us,” and “our” refer collectively to CEG Parent and Constellation.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

See Note 1 — Basis of Presentation of our 2023 Form 10-K for additional information on significant accounting policies.

2. Mergers, Acquisitions, and Dispositions

Acquisition of Joint Ownership in South Texas Project

In November 2023, we completed the acquisition of NRG South Texas LP (renamed and converted as Constellation South Texas, LLC), which owns a 44% undivided ownership interest in the jointly owned STP, a 2,645 MW, dual-unit nuclear plant located in Bay City, Texas. The net cash paid was $1.65 billion, after certain purchase price adjustments. Other owners include City Public Service Board of San Antonio (CPS, 40%) and the City of Austin, Texas (Austin, 16%). See Note 2 — Mergers, Acquisitions, and Dispositions of our 2023 Form 10-K for additional information.

In May 2024, we executed a settlement agreement with all parties (CPS/City of San Antonio, Austin, and NRG), resolving all litigation involving our purchase of the ownership interest in STP, which was initiated by CPS and Austin in Texas state court and before the NRC. The terms of the settlement include us selling a 2% ownership interest in STP to CPS at the same price and terms that we paid NRG for our 44% interest, subject to regulatory approvals from the NRC and the Public Utility Commission of Texas. Pursuant to the settlement, CPS and Austin filed Notices of Dismissal with Prejudice with the Court, which ends the litigation, and likewise withdrew their pending objections to the sale with the NRC. As a result of the settlement, we have reflected assets and liabilities associated with a 2% undivided ownership interest in STP as held for sale. The held for sale amounts are included in the Other current assets and Other current liabilities balances on our Consolidated Balance Sheets as of June 30, 2024. Closing is expected to occur within the next year. Upon closing of the sale, we and CPS will each own a 42% interest in STP, and Austin’s interest will remain at 16%. The terms of settlement are not expected to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

Note 3 — Revenue from Contracts with Customers

3. Revenue from Contracts with Customers

We recognize revenue from contracts with customers to depict the transfer of goods or services to customers at an amount that we expect to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services. Our primary sources of revenue include competitive sales of power, natural gas, and other energy-related products and sustainable solutions.

See Note 4 — Revenue from Contracts with Customers of our 2023 Form 10-K for additional information regarding the performance obligations, revenue recognition, and payment terms associated with these sources of revenue.

Contract Balances

Contract Assets

We record contract assets for the revenue recognized on the construction and installation of energy efficiency assets and new power generating facilities before we have an unconditional right to bill for and receive the consideration from the customer. These contract assets are subsequently reclassified to receivables when the right to payment becomes unconditional. We record contract assets and contract receivables in Other current assets and Customer accounts receivable, net, respectively, in the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

The following table provides a rollforward of the contract assets reflected in the Consolidated Balance Sheets for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023.

Revenues recognized1431
Ending balance as of March 3181150
Amounts reclassified to receivables(4)(76)
Revenues recognized1615
Ending balance as of June 30$93$89

Contract Liabilities

We record contract liabilities when consideration is received or due prior to the satisfaction of the performance obligations. We record contract liabilities in Other current liabilities and Other deferred credits and other liabilities in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. These contract liabilities primarily relate to upfront consideration received or due for equipment service plans, the Mystic COS, and the Illinois ZEC program. The Mystic COS, which ended in May 2024, included upfront consideration received that differs from the recognized earnings over the cost of the service period. The Illinois ZEC program introduces an annual cap on the total consideration to be received by us for each delivery period. The ZEC price is established on a per MWh of production basis with a maximum annual cap for total compensation to be received for each planning year, while requiring delivery of all ZECs produced by our participating facilities during each delivery period. ZECs delivered to Illinois utilities in excess of the annual cost cap may be paid in subsequent years if the payments do not exceed the prescribed annual cost cap for that year. The balance as of June 30, 2024 primarily related to equipment service plans. The balance as of December 31, 2023 primarily related to equipment services plans and the Mystic COS.

Transaction Price Allocated to Remaining Performance Obligations

The following table shows the amounts of future revenues expected to be recorded in each year for performance obligations that are unsatisfied or partially unsatisfied as of June 30, 2024. This disclosure only includes contracts for which the total consideration is fixed and determinable at contract inception. The average contract term varies by customer type and commodity but ranges from one month to several years. This disclosure excludes mark-to-market derivatives and certain power and gas sales contracts which contain variable volumes and/or variable pricing.

20242025202620272028 and thereafterTotal
Remaining performance obligations$92$59$30$18$130$329

Transaction Price Allocated to Previously Satisfied Performance Obligations

Our Clinton and Quad Cities units contract with certain utilities in Illinois which requires delivery of all ZECs produced during each planning year (June through May), with total compensation limited by an annual cap for each planning year designed to limit the cost of ZECs to each utility's customers. ZECs delivered that, if paid, would result in the annual cap being exceeded may be paid in subsequent years at the vintage year price as long as the payments would not exceed the annual cap in the year paid. In each planning year since the program commenced June 2017, we delivered ZECs to the utilities in excess of the annual compensation cap.

The ZEC price and annual compensation cap effective for each planning year are administratively determined by the IPA. For the June 2023 through May 2024 planning year, the ZEC price has been established at $0.30 per ZEC, subject to an annual cap of $224 million. ZECs generated and delivered during this planning year will not exceed the annual cap, providing capacity to compensate for ZECs delivered in prior planning years in excess of the compensation cap. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, we recognized $218 million of revenue as a receivable for ZECs delivered in prior planning years, with payment expected in the third quarter of 2024. As of June 30, 2024, this receivable is included within Customer accounts receivable, net in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. For the June 2024 through May 2025 planning year, the ZEC price has been established at $9.38 per ZEC, subject to an annual cap of $222 million. Revenue recognized for ZECs delivered in prior planning years were not material for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024.

Revenue Disaggregation

We disaggregate the revenue recognized from contracts with customers into categories that depict how the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows are affected by economic factors. See Note 4 — Segment Information for the presentation of revenue disaggregation.

Note 4 — Segment Information

4. Segment Information

Operating segments are determined based on information used by the CODM in deciding how to evaluate performance and allocate resources. We have five reportable segments consisting of the Mid-Atlantic, Midwest, New York, ERCOT, and all other power regions referred to collectively as “Other Power Regions.”

The basis for our reportable segments is the integrated management of our electricity business that is located in different geographic regions, and largely representative of the footprints of ISO/RTO and/or NERC regions, which utilize multiple supply sources to provide electricity through various distribution channels (wholesale and retail). Our hedging strategies and risk metrics are also aligned to these same geographic regions. Descriptions of each of our five reportable segments are as follows:

  • Mid-Atlantic** represents operations in the eastern half of PJM, which includes New Jersey, Maryland, Virginia, West Virginia, Delaware, the District of Columbia, and parts of Pennsylvania and North Carolina.

  • Midwest** represents operations in the western half of PJM and the United States footprint of MISO, excluding MISO’s Southern Region.

  • New York** represents operations within NYISO.

  • ERCOT** represents operations within Electric Reliability Council of Texas that covers a majority of the state of Texas.

  • Other Power Regions:**

  • New England represents operations within ISO-NE.

  • South** represents operations in FRCC, MISO’s Southern Region, and the remaining portions of SERC not included within MISO or PJM.

  • West** represents operations in WECC, which includes CAISO.

  • Canada** represents operations across the entire country of Canada and includes AESO, OIESO, and the Canadian portion of MISO.

The CODM evaluates the performance of our electric business activities and allocates resources based on Operating revenues net of Purchased power and fuel expense (RNF). We believe this is a useful measurement of operational performance, although it 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. Our operating revenues include all sales to third parties as well as government assistance. Purchased power costs include all costs associated with the procurement and supply of electricity including capacity, energy, and ancillary services. Fuel expense includes the fuel costs for our owned generation and fuel costs associated with tolling agreements. The results of our other business activities are not regularly reviewed by the CODM and are therefore not classified as operating segments or included in the regional reportable segment amounts. These activities include wholesale and retail sales of natural gas, energy-related sales in the United Kingdom, as well as sales of other energy-related products and sustainable solutions that are not significant to our overall results of operations. Further, our unrealized mark-to-market gains and losses on economic hedging activities and our amortization of certain intangible assets and liabilities relating to commodity contracts recorded at fair value from mergers and acquisitions are also excluded from the regional reportable segment amounts. The CODM does not use a measure of total assets in making decisions regarding allocating resources to or assessing the performance of these reportable segments.

The following tables disaggregate the revenue recognized from contracts with customers into categories that depict how the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows are affected by economic factors. The disaggregation of revenues reflects our two primary products of power sales and natural gas sales, with further disaggregation of power sales provided by geographic region.

Note 5 — Government Assistance

5. Government Assistance

As a result of the enactment of the IRA, we qualify for certain federal government incentives through eligible activities. These incentives include both refundable and transferable tax credits. The current GAAP framework does not address the receipt of government assistance by for-profit entities. We account for this government assistance by analogy to International Accounting Standard (IAS) 20, Accounting for Government Grants and Disclosure of Government Assistance, and recognize the benefits when there is reasonable assurance that we will comply with the required conditions and that the benefits will be received. We believe the reasonable assurance term as used in IAS 20 is analogous to the term probable as defined in Accounting Standards Codification 450-20 of GAAP.

Beginning in 2024, our nuclear units are eligible for a PTC extending through 2032. The nuclear PTC provides a transferable credit up to $15 per MWh (a base credit of $3 per MWh with a five times multiplier provided certain prevailing wage requirements are met) and is subject to phase-out when annual gross receipts are between $25.00 per MWh and $43.75 per MWh. We have determined that we will meet the annual prevailing wage requirements at all our nuclear units and are eligible for the five times multiplier. Both the amount of the PTC and the gross receipts thresholds adjust for inflation after 2024 through the duration of the program based on the GDP price deflator for the preceding calendar year. The benefits of the PTC may be realized through a credit against our federal income taxes or transferred via sale to an unrelated party. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, our Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income includes an estimate of $408 million and $712 million, respectively, in Operating revenues for nuclear PTCs earned based on qualifying production volumes during the respective periods. Nuclear PTCs are recorded within Other deferred debits and other assets within the Consolidated Balance Sheets and reclassified as a reduction to Accounts payable and accrued expenses when used to reduce our federal income tax payable. As of June 30, 2024, our Consolidated Balance Sheets reflect an estimated nuclear PTC receivable of $610 million within Other deferred debits and other assets and a reduction to Accounts payable and accrued expenses of $102 million for estimated nuclear PTCs that we have utilized as a credit against our current federal income taxes payable. There were no transfers of estimated nuclear PTCs to third parties during the three and six months ended June 30, 2024. Our estimate required the exercise of judgment in determining the amount of nuclear PTC expected for each of our nuclear units. Since the amount of nuclear PTC is a function of annual gross receipts, the actual amount of PTC earned cannot be determined until after the end of the calendar year and may be different from this initial estimate. Further, the nuclear PTC continues to be the subject of additional guidance expected to be issued from the U.S. Treasury and IRS that may materially impact the total amount of benefits we receive.

Many of the state-sponsored programs providing compensation for the emissions-free attributes of generation from certain of our nuclear units include contractual or other provisions that require us to refund that compensation up to the amount of the nuclear PTC received or pass through the entirety of the nuclear PTC received. As of June 30, 2024, we have recognized $404 million of estimated payables within Other deferred credits and other liabilities on our Consolidated Balance Sheets and recognized net operating revenue of $51 million and $120 million (pre-tax) associated with programs requiring refunds or pass through of the nuclear PTC in our Consolidated Statement of Operations and Comprehensive Income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, respectively. As with the actual amount of the PTC earned, which cannot be determined until after the end of the calendar year, the actual amounts due under state-sponsored programs may be different from our initial estimate.

6. Accounts Receivable

Unbilled Customer Revenue

We recorded $171 million and $372 million of unbilled customer revenues in Customer accounts receivables, net in the Consolidated Balance Sheets as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively.

Combined Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

(Dollars in millions, unless otherwise noted)

Note 6 — Accounts Receivable

Sales of Customer Accounts Receivable

In 2020, NER, a bankruptcy remote, special purpose entity, which is wholly owned by us, entered into a revolving accounts receivable financing arrangement with a number of financial institutions and a commercial paper conduit (Purchasers) to sell certain customer accounts receivable (Facility). The maximum funding limit of the Facility is $1.1 billion through August 2025. Under the Facility, NER may sell eligible short-term customer accounts receivable to the Purchasers in exchange for cash and subordinated interest. The transfers are reported as sales of receivables in the consolidated financial statements. The subordinated interest in collections upon the receivables sold to the Purchasers is referred to as the DPP, which is reflected in Other current assets in the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

The Facility requires the balance of eligible receivables to be maintained at or above the balance of cash proceeds received from the Purchasers. To the extent the eligible receivables decrease below such balance, we are required to repay cash to the Purchasers. When eligible receivables exceed cash proceeds, we have the ability to increase the cash received up to the maximum funding limit. These cash inflows and outflows impact the DPP.

The following tables summarize the impact of the sale of certain receivables:

7. Nuclear Decommissioning

Nuclear Decommissioning Asset Retirement Obligations

We have a legal obligation to decommission our nuclear power plants following the permanent cessation of operations. See Note 10 — Asset Retirement Obligations of our 2023 Form 10-K for additional information regarding AROs and the financial statement impact of changes in estimate.

The following table provides a rollforward of the nuclear decommissioning AROs reflected in the Consolidated Balance Sheets from December 31, 2023 to June 30, 2024:

Balance as of December 31, 2023(a)$13,891
Net decrease due to changes in, and timing of, estimated future cash flows(909)
Accretion expense329
ARO transferred to Liabilities held for sale(20)
Costs incurred related to decommissioning plants(16)
Balance as of June 30, 2024(a)$13,275

(a)Includes $28 million and $30 million as the current portion of the ARO as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively, which is included in Other current liabilities in the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

In the second quarter of 2024, we updated our retirement timing assumptions for the Braidwood and Byron plants, commensurate with an update to the estimated useful lives utilized for depreciation purposes that now includes an assumption for a subsequent license renewal period, provided economic levels remain supportive of extended operations. The $909 million net decrease due to changes in, and timing of, estimated future cash flows was primarily driven by the change in the assumed retirement dates for these plants. The change in depreciation expense was not material during the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, nor is the estimated annual impact material to future periods.

NDT Funds

We had NDT funds totaling $17,015 million and $16,398 million as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. As of June 30, 2024, $132 million of the NDT funds were current and included in Other current assets in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. As of December 31, 2023, none of the NDT funds were reflected in Other current assets. See Note 16 — Supplemental Financial Information for additional information on activities of the NDT funds.

NRC Minimum Funding Requirements

NRC regulations require that licensees of nuclear generating facilities demonstrate reasonable assurance that funds will be available in specified minimum amounts for radiological decommissioning of the facility at the end of its life.

In March 2024, we filed our annual decommissioning funding status report with the NRC for our shutdown units, including Zion Station which was transferred back to us in November 2023. The status report demonstrated adequate decommissioning funding assurance as of December 31, 2023 for all our shutdown units except for Peach Bottom Unit 1. Financial assurance for decommissioning Peach Bottom Unit 1 is provided by collections from PECO customers. Additionally in March 2024, STPNOC filed the decommissioning funding status report for STP. The status report demonstrated adequate funding assurance as of December 31, 2023. See Note 10 — Asset Retirement Obligations of our 2023 Form 10-K for additional information.

Other Tax Matters

Tax Matters Agreement

In connection with the separation, we entered into a TMA with Exelon. The TMA governs the respective rights, responsibilities, and obligations between us and Exelon after the separation with respect to tax liabilities and benefits, tax attributes, tax returns, tax contests and other tax sharing regarding U.S. federal, state, local and foreign income taxes, other tax matters and related tax returns. See Note 14 — Income Taxes of our 2023 Form 10-K for additional information on the separation.

Responsibility and Indemnification for Taxes. As a former subsidiary of Exelon, we have joint and several liability with Exelon to the IRS and certain state jurisdictions relating to the taxable periods that we were included in federal and state filings. However, the TMA specifies the portion of this tax liability for which we will bear contractual responsibility, and we and Exelon agreed to indemnify each other against any amounts for which such indemnified party is not responsible. Specifically, we will be liable for taxes due and payable in connection with tax returns that we are required to file. We will also be liable for our share of certain taxes required to be paid by Exelon with respect to taxable years or periods (or portions thereof) ending on or prior to the separation to the extent that we would have been responsible for such taxes under the Exelon tax sharing agreement then existing. As of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, our Consolidated Balance Sheets reflect $38 million and $37 million in Other deferred credits and other liabilities, respectively, for tax liabilities where we maintain contractual responsibility to Exelon.

(Dollars in millions, unless otherwise noted)

Note 8 — Income Taxes

Tax Refunds and Attributes. The TMA provides for the allocation of certain pre-closing tax attributes between us and Exelon. Tax attributes will be allocated in accordance with the principles set forth in the existing Exelon tax sharing agreement, unless otherwise required by law. Under the TMA, we will be entitled to refunds for taxes for which we are responsible. In addition, it is expected that Exelon will have tax attributes that may be used to offset Exelon’s future tax liabilities. A significant portion of such attributes were generated by our business. In February 2024, we executed an amendment to the TMA that modified the timing of Exelon's payment of amounts due to us. As of June 30, 2024, our Consolidated Balance Sheets reflects receivables of $137 million and $193 million in Other accounts receivable and Other deferred debits and other assets, respectively. As of December 31, 2023, our Consolidated Balance Sheets reflected receivables of $336 million and $178 million in Other accounts receivable and Other deferred debits and other assets, respectively.

10. Derivative Financial Instruments

We use derivative instruments to manage commodity price risk, interest rate risk, and foreign exchange risk related to ongoing business operations.

Authoritative guidance requires that derivative instruments be recognized as either assets or liabilities at fair value, with changes in fair value of the derivative recognized in earnings immediately. Other accounting treatments are available through special election and designation, provided they meet specific, restrictive criteria both at the time of designation and on an ongoing basis. These alternative permissible accounting treatments include NPNS, cash flow hedges, and fair value hedges. All derivative instruments, excluding NPNS and cash flow hedges, are recorded at fair value through earnings. For all NPNS derivative instruments, accounts receivable or accounts payable are recorded when derivatives settle, and revenue or expense is recognized in earnings as the underlying physical commodity is sold or delivered.

Authoritative guidance about offsetting assets and liabilities requires the fair value of derivative instruments to be shown in the Combined Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements on a gross basis, even when the derivative instruments are subject to legally enforceable master netting agreements and qualify for net presentation in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. A master netting agreement is an agreement between two counterparties that may have derivative and non-derivative contracts with each other providing for the net settlement of all referenced contracts via one payment stream, which takes place as the contracts deliver, when collateral is requested or in the event of default. In the tables below, which present fair value balances, our energy-related economic hedges and proprietary trading derivatives are shown gross. The impact of the netting of fair value balances with the same counterparty that are subject to legally enforceable master netting agreements, as well as netting of cash collateral, including margin on exchange positions, is aggregated in the collateral and netting columns.

Our use of cash collateral is generally unrestricted unless we were downgraded below investment grade. As our senior unsecured debt rating is currently rated at BBB+ and Baa1 by S&P and Moody's, respectively, it would take a three notch downgrade by S&P or Moody's for us to go below investment grade.

Note 10 — Derivative Financial Instruments

Commodity Price Risk

We employ established policies and procedures to manage our risks associated with market fluctuations in commodity prices by entering into physical and financial derivative contracts, including swaps, futures, forwards, options, and short-term and long-term commitments to purchase and sell energy and energy-related products. We believe these instruments, which are either determined to be non-derivative or classified as economic hedges, mitigate exposure to fluctuations in commodity prices.

To the extent the amount of energy we produce or procure differs from the amount of energy we have contracted to sell and in connection with portfolio optimization, we are exposed to market fluctuations in the prices of electricity, natural gas, and other commodities. We use a variety of derivative and non-derivative instruments to manage the commodity price risk of our electric generation facilities, including power and gas sales, fuel and power purchases, natural gas transportation and pipeline capacity agreements, and other energy-related products marketed and purchased. To manage these risks, we may enter into fixed-price derivative or non-derivative contracts to hedge the variability in future cash flows from expected sales of power and gas and purchases of power and fuel. The objectives for executing such hedges include fixing the price for a portion of anticipated future electricity sales at a level that provides an acceptable return. We are also exposed to differences between the locational settlement prices of certain economic hedges and the hedged generating units. This price difference is actively managed through other instruments which include derivative congestion products, whose changes in fair value are recognized in earnings each period, and auction revenue rights, which are accounted for on an accrual basis.

In general, increases and decreases in forward market prices have a positive and negative impact, respectively, on owned and contracted generation positions that have not been hedged. Beginning in 2024, our nuclear fleet is eligible for the nuclear PTC provided by the IRA, an important tool in managing commodity price risk for each nuclear unit not already receiving state support. The nuclear PTC provides increasing levels of support as unit revenues decline below levels established in the IRA and is further adjusted for inflation after 2024 through the duration of the program based on the GDP price deflator for the preceding calendar year. See Note 5 — Government Assistance for additional information on the nuclear PTC.

In locations and periods where our load serving activities do not naturally offset existing generation portfolio risk, remaining commodity price exposure is managed through portfolio hedging activities. Portfolio hedging activities are generally concentrated in the prompt three years, when customer demand and market liquidity enable effective price risk mitigation. During this prompt three-year period, we seek to mitigate the price risk associated with our load serving contracts, non-nuclear generation, and any residual price risk for our nuclear generation that the nuclear PTC and state programs may not fully mitigate. We also enter transactions that further optimize the economic benefits of our overall portfolio.

Additionally, we are exposed to certain market risks through our proprietary trading activities. The proprietary trading activities are a complement to our energy marketing portfolio but represent a small portion of our overall energy marketing activities and are subject to limits established by the Executive Committee. Proprietary trading includes all contracts executed with the intent of benefiting from shifts or changes in market prices as opposed to those executed with the intent of hedging or managing risk. Gains and losses associated with proprietary trading are reported as Operating revenues in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income and are included in the Net fair value changes related to derivatives line in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, net pre-tax commodity mark-to-market gains and losses associated with proprietary trading activities were not material.

Note 10 — Derivative Financial Instruments

Credit Risk

We would be exposed to credit-related losses in the event of non-performance by counterparties on executed derivative instruments. The credit exposure of derivative contracts, before collateral, is represented by the fair value of contracts as of the reporting date.

For commodity derivatives, we enter into enabling agreements that allow for payment netting with our counterparties, which reduces our exposure to counterparty risk by providing for the offset of amounts payable to the counterparty against amounts receivable from the counterparty. Typically, each enabling agreement is for a specific commodity and, with respect to each individual counterparty, netting is limited to transactions involving that specific commodity product, except where master netting agreements exist with a counterparty that allows for cross product netting. In addition to payment netting language in the enabling agreement, our credit department establishes credit limits, margining thresholds and collateral requirements for each counterparty, which are defined in the derivative contracts. Counterparty credit limits are based on an internal credit review process that considers a variety of factors, including the results of a scoring model, leverage, liquidity, profitability, credit ratings by credit rating agencies, and other risk management criteria. To the extent that a counterparty’s margining thresholds are exceeded, the counterparty is required to post collateral with us, as specified in each enabling agreement. Our credit department monitors current and forward credit exposure to counterparties and their affiliates, both on an individual and an aggregate basis.

The following tables provide information on the credit exposure for all derivative instruments, NPNS and payables and receivables, net of collateral and instruments that are subject to master netting agreements, as of June 30, 2024. The tables further delineate that exposure by credit rating of the counterparties and provide guidance on the concentration of credit risk to individual counterparties. The amounts in the tables below exclude credit risk exposure from individual retail counterparties and exposure through RTOs, ISOs, NYMEX, ICE, NASDAQ, NGX, and Nodal commodity exchanges.

Note 10 — Derivative Financial Instruments

Credit-Risk-Related Contingent Features

As part of the normal course of business, we routinely enter into physically or financially settled contracts for the purchase and sale of capacity, electricity, fuels, emissions allowances, and other energy-related products. Certain of our derivative instruments contain provisions that require us to post collateral. We also enter into commodity transactions on exchanges where the exchanges act as the counterparty to each trade. Transactions on the exchanges must adhere to comprehensive collateral and margining requirements. This collateral may be posted in the form of cash or credit support with thresholds contingent upon our credit ratings from S&P and Moody's. The collateral and credit support requirements vary by contract and by counterparty. These credit-risk-related contingent features stipulate that if we were to be downgraded or lose our investment grade credit ratings (based on our senior unsecured debt rating), we would be required to provide additional collateral. This incremental collateral requirement allows for the offsetting of derivative instruments that are assets with the same counterparty, where the contractual right of offset exists under applicable master netting agreements. In the absence of expressly agreed-to provisions that specify the collateral that must be provided, collateral requested will be a function of the facts and circumstances of the situation at the time of the demand. In this case, we believe an amount of several months of future payments (e.g., capacity payments) rather than a calculation of fair value is the best estimate for the contingent collateral obligation, which has been factored into the disclosure below.

The aggregate fair value of all derivative instruments with credit-risk-related contingent features in a liability position that are not fully collateralized (excluding transactions on the exchanges that are fully collateralized) is detailed in the table below:

Credit-Risk-Related Contingent FeaturesJune 30, 2024December 31, 2023
Gross fair value of derivative contracts containing this feature$(1,829)$(1,894)
Offsetting fair value of in-the-money contracts under master netting arrangements837925
Net fair value of derivative contracts containing this feature$(992)$(969)

As of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, we posted or held the following amounts of cash collateral and letters of credit on derivative contracts with external counterparties, after giving consideration to offsetting derivative and non-derivative positions under master netting agreements.

June 30, 2024December 31, 2023
Cash collateral posted(a)$1,594$2,449
Letters of credit posted(a)1,168777
Cash collateral held(a)8064
Letters of credit held(a)11961
Additional collateral required in the event of a credit downgrade below investment grade (at BB+/Ba1)(b)(c)(d)1,9501,914

(a)The cash collateral and letters of credit amounts are inclusive of NPNS contracts.

(b)Certain of our contracts contain provisions that allow a counterparty to request additional collateral when there has been a subjective determination that our credit quality has deteriorated, generally termed “adequate assurance”. Due to the subjective nature of these provisions, we estimate the amount of collateral that we may ultimately be required to post in relation to the maximum exposure with the counterparty.

(c)The downgrade collateral is inclusive of all contracts in a liability position regardless of accounting treatment and excludes any contracts with individual retail counterparties.

(d)A loss of investment grade credit rating would require a three notch downgrade from their current levels of BBB+ and Baa1 at S&P and Moody's, respectively.

We routinely enter into supply forward contracts with certain utilities with one-sided collateral postings only from us. If market prices fall below the benchmark price levels in these contracts, the utilities are not required to post collateral. However, when market prices rise above the benchmark price levels, we are required to post collateral once certain unsecured credit limits are exceeded.

Note 11 — Debt and Credit Agreements

11. Debt and Credit Agreements

Short-Term Borrowings

We meet our short-term liquidity requirements primarily through the issuance of commercial paper. We may use our credit facility for general corporate purposes, including meeting short-term funding requirements and the issuance of letters of credit.

Credit Agreements

In June 2024, we amended our existing $3.5 billion revolving credit facility (RCF), to increase the available aggregate commitment to $4.5 billion and extend the maturity date from January 2027 to June 2029. The RCF may be drawn down in the form of loans and/or to support commercial paper and letters of credit issuances.

The RCF fixed facility fee rate is 0.175% and borrowings under the RCF bear interest at a rate based upon either the Daily Simple SOFR rate or a Term SOFR rate, plus an adder based upon our credit ratings. The adders for the Daily Simple SOFR based borrowings and Term SOFR borrowings are 7.5 basis points and 107.5 basis points, respectively. The letters of credit bear interest at a rate of 1.075%.

If we were to lose our investment grade credit rating, the maximum adders for Daily Simple SOFR rate borrowings and Term SOFR rate borrowings would be 100 basis points and 200 basis points, respectively. The credit agreements also require us to pay facility fees based upon the aggregate commitments. The fees vary depending upon our credit rating.

As of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, we had the following aggregate bank commitments, credit facility borrowings and available capacity under our respective credit facilities:

As of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the maximum program size of our commercial paper program was $4.5 billion and $3.5 billion, respectively. We do not issue commercial paper in an aggregate amount exceeding the then available capacity under our credit facility. The weighted average interest rate on commercial paper borrowings was 5.57% and 5.66% as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively.

(b)In March 2024, we initiated a new bilateral credit agreement for $200 million, with no maturity date. In May 2024, we initiated a new bilateral credit agreement for $150 million, with no maturity date. In June 2024, a bilateral credit agreement initiated in November 2019 was extended for an additional two years to June 2026.

(c)The maximum amount of the bank commitment is not to exceed $971 million. The aggregate available capacity of the facility is subject to market fluctuations based on the value of U.S. Treasury Securities which determines the amount of collateral held in the trust. We may post additional collateral to borrow up to the maximum bank commitment. As of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, without posting additional collateral, the actual availability of facility, prior to outstanding letters of credit was $908 million and $911 million, respectively.

Debt Covenants

As of June 30, 2024, we are in compliance with all debt covenants.

12. Fair Value of Financial Assets and Liabilities

We measure and classify fair value measurements in accordance with the hierarchy as defined by GAAP. The hierarchy prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three levels as follows:

  • Level 1 — quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that we have the ability to liquidate as of the reporting date.

  • Level 2 — inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are directly observable for the asset or liability or indirectly observable through corroboration with observable market data.

  • Level 3 — unobservable inputs, such as internally developed pricing models or third-party valuations for the asset or liability due to little or no market activity for the asset or liability.

Mark-to-Market Derivatives

The following table presents the significant inputs to the forward curve used to value these positions:

Type of tradeFair Value as of June 30, 2024Fair Value as of December 31, 2023Valuation TechniqueUnobservable Input2024 Range & Arithmetic Average2023 Range & Arithmetic Average
Mark-to market derivatives—Economic hedges(a)(b)$(142)$407Discounted Cash FlowForward power price$3.49 - $178$48$9.64 - $216$48
Forward gas price$0.80 - $14$3.38$1.20 - $14$3.09

(a)The valuation techniques, unobservable inputs, ranges, and arithmetic averages are the same for the asset and liability positions.

(b)The fair values do not include cash collateral posted on Level 3 positions of $454 million and $462 million as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively.

The inputs listed above, which are as of the balance sheet date, would have a direct impact on the fair values of the above instruments if they were adjusted. The significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of our commodity derivatives are forward commodity prices and for options is price volatility. Increases (decreases) in the forward commodity price in isolation would result in significantly higher (lower) fair values for long positions (contracts that give us the obligation or option to purchase a commodity), with offsetting impacts to short positions (contracts that give us the obligation or right to sell a commodity). Increases (decreases) in volatility would increase (decrease) the value for the holder of the option (writer of the option). Generally, a change in the estimate of forward commodity prices is unrelated to a change in the estimate of volatility of prices. An increase to the heat rate or renewable factors would increase the fair value accordingly. Generally, interrelationships exist between market prices of natural gas and power. As such, an increase in natural gas pricing would potentially have a similar impact on forward power markets.

Environmental Remediation Matters

General. Our operations have in the past, and may in the future, require substantial expenditures to comply with environmental laws. Additionally, under Federal and state environmental laws, we are generally liable for the costs of remediating environmental contamination of property now or formerly owned by us and of property contaminated by hazardous substances generated by us. We own or lease several real estate parcels, including parcels on which our operations or the operations of others may have resulted in contamination by substances that are considered hazardous under environmental laws. In addition, we are currently involved in proceedings relating to sites where hazardous substances have been deposited and may be subject to additional proceedings in the future. Unless otherwise disclosed, we cannot reasonably estimate whether we will incur significant liabilities for additional investigation and remediation costs at these or additional sites identified by us, environmental agencies, or others. Additional costs could have a material, unfavorable impact on our consolidated financial statements.

As of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, we had accrued undiscounted amounts for environmental liabilities of $56 million and $61 million, respectively, in Accounts payable and accrued expenses and $161 million and $88 million, respectively, in Other deferred credits and other liabilities in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. See Note 19 — Commitments and Contingencies of our 2023 Form 10-K for additional information on environmental remediation matters. As of June 30, 2024, and through the date of filing, there have been no material changes in amounts recognized for the matters discussed in our 2023 Form 10-K.

Litigation

General. We are involved in various other litigation matters that are being defended and handled in the ordinary course of business. The assessment of whether a loss is probable or reasonably possible, and whether the loss or a range of loss is estimable, often involves a series of complex judgments about future events. We maintain accruals for such losses that are probable of being incurred and subject to reasonable estimation. Management is sometimes unable to estimate an amount or range of reasonably possible loss, particularly where (1) the damages sought are indeterminate, (2) the proceedings are in the early stages, or (3) the matters involve novel or unsettled legal theories. In such cases, there is considerable uncertainty regarding the timing or ultimate resolution of such matters, including a possible eventual loss.

See Note 19 — Commitments and Contingencies of our 2023 Form 10-K for additional information on litigation matters. As of June 30, 2024, and through the date of filing, there have been no significant developments to the matters discussed in our 2023 Form 10-K.

Asbestos Personal Injury Claims. We maintain a reserve for claims associated with asbestos-related personal injury actions at certain facilities that are currently owned by us or were previously owned by ComEd, PECO, or BGE. The estimated liabilities are recorded on an undiscounted basis and exclude the estimated legal costs associated with handling these matters, which could be material.

Combined Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

(Dollars in millions, unless otherwise noted)

Note 13 — Commitments and Contingencies

At June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, we recorded estimated liabilities of approximately $129 million and $131 million, respectively, in total for asbestos-related bodily injury claims. As of June 30, 2024, approximately $16 million of this amount related to 207 open claims presented to us, while the remaining $113 million is for estimated future asbestos-related bodily injury claims anticipated to arise through 2055, based on actuarial assumptions and analyses, which are updated on an annual basis. On a quarterly basis, we monitor actual experience against the number of forecasted claims to be received and expected claim payments and evaluate whether adjustments to the estimated liabilities are necessary.

14. Shareholders' Equity

Share Repurchase Program (CEG Parent)

During 2023, our Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to $2 billion of the Company's outstanding common stock. In April 2024, our Board of Directors approved a $1 billion increase to the program, authorizing up to $3 billion in total repurchases. As of the date of filing, there was approximately $991 million of remaining authority to repurchase shares of the Company's outstanding common stock. No other repurchase plans or programs have been authorized. See Note 20 — Shareholders' Equity of our 2023 Form 10-K for additional information on our share repurchase program.

During the six months ended June 30, 2024, we repurchased from the open market 1.2 million shares of our common stock for a total cost, inclusive of taxes and transaction costs, of $150 million. There were no open market repurchases for the three months ended June 30, 2024. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, we repurchased from the open market 3.0 million and 6.2 million shares, respectively, of our common stock for a total cost, inclusive of taxes and transaction costs, of $252 million and $503 million, respectively.

In 2024, we entered into accelerated share repurchase (ASR) agreements with financial institutions to initiate share repurchases of our common stock. Under the ASR agreements, we paid a specified amount to the financial institution and received an initial delivery of shares of common stock, which resulted in an immediate reduction in the number of our shares outstanding. Based on the terms of the ASR agreements below, we received an initial share delivery based on 80% of the ASR agreements' cost. Upon settlement of the ASR agreements, the financial institution delivers additional incremental shares. The total number of shares ultimately delivered, and therefore the average price paid per share, is determined at the end of the applicable purchase period of each ASR agreement based on the average of the daily-volume weighted average share price, less a discount.

The following table summarizes each ASR agreement for the six months ended June 30, 2024:

Unconsolidated VIEs

Our variable interests in unconsolidated VIEs generally include equity investments and energy purchase and sale contracts. For the equity investments, the carrying amount of the investments is reflected in the Consolidated Balance Sheets in Investments. For the energy purchase and sale contracts (commercial agreements), the carrying amount of assets and liabilities in the Consolidated Balance Sheets that relate to our involvement with the VIEs are predominantly related to working capital accounts and generally represent the amounts owed by, or owed to, us for the deliveries associated with the current billing cycles under the commercial agreements.

As of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, we had significant unconsolidated variable interests in several VIEs for which we were not the primary beneficiary. These interests include certain equity method investments and certain commercial agreements.
