1. Basis of Presentation
Description of Business
We are the nation's largest 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, public sector, 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 March 31, 2025 and for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024 are unaudited but, in our opinion, include all adjustments that are considered necessary for the fair presentation 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, 2024 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, 2025. 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 2024 Form 10-K for additional information on significant accounting policies.
2. Mergers, Acquisitions, and Dispositions
Proposed Acquisition of Calpine Corporation
On January 10, 2025, we entered an agreement and plan of merger (Merger Agreement) with Calpine Corporation (Calpine) under which we will acquire all the outstanding equity interests of Calpine in a cash and stock transaction. Calpine owns and operates a generation fleet of natural gas, geothermal, battery storage, and solar assets with over 27 GWs of generation capacity, in addition to a competitive retail electric supplier platform serving approximately 60 TWhs of load annually. The merger consideration at closing will consist of an aggregate of 50 million newly issued shares of our common stock, no par value, and $4.5 billion in cash. We will also assume approximately $12.7 billion of Calpine’s outstanding debt. We expect to fund the cash portion of the transaction through a combination of cash on hand and cash flow generated by Calpine in the period between signing and closing of the transaction (that will be assumed at closing). Per the terms of the Merger Agreement, consummation of the transaction is to occur by December 31, 2025 (which date may be automatically extended to June 1, 2026, as further provided in the Merger Agreement). See Note 2 — Mergers, Acquisitions, and Dispositions of our 2024 Form 10-K for additional information.
Through March 31, 2025, fees incurred as part of the acquisition were not material to the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income.

Note 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 consideration transferred was $1.66 billion. 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 2024 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 Energy, Inc.), resolving all litigation involving our purchase of the ownership interest in STP. 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 Energy, Inc. 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 in the Consolidated Balance Sheets as of March 31, 2025. Closing is expected to occur within the first half of 2025. 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.
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 2024 Form 10-K for additional information regarding the performance obligations, revenue recognition, and payment terms associated with these sources of revenue.
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 March 31, 2025. 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.

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.
Constellation's CEO is considered the CODM and evaluates the performance of our electric business activities and allocates resources based on segment RNF, primarily through review of budget-to-actual variance analyses. RNF is Operating revenues net of Purchased power and fuel expenses. 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. In our evaluation of operating segments, we noted the CODM reviews a variety of performance and profitability measures at a consolidated level with a primary focus on RNF reporting at the regional level. Our operating revenues include all sales to third parties as well as government assistance. Purchased power and fuel expenses are considered the significant segment expense. 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 power sales by geographic region.

(a)Includes revenues from nuclear PTCs as well as derivatives and leases. Intersegment activity in all periods presented is not material.
(b)Represents revenue activities not allocated to a region. See text above for a description of included activities. Revenues from contracts with customers includes natural gas revenues of $711 million and $608 million and other revenues includes unrealized mark-to-market losses of $287 million and gains of $64 million, for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.
5. Government Assistance
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 evaluated and expect to meet the annual prevailing wage requirements at all of 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 annually through the duration of the program based on the GDP price deflator for the preceding calendar year. We expect the inflation factor for 2025 to be published in the second or third quarter of 2025. 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 months ended March 31, 2025, we did not record a nuclear PTC benefit as the estimate of full year gross receipts exceeds the phase-out amount for annual gross receipts per MWh for all units. For the three months ended March 31, 2024, our Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income included a nuclear PTC benefit in Operating revenues of approximately $304 million. Our estimates require the exercise of judgment in determining the amount of nuclear PTC expected for each of our nuclear units. The nuclear PTC continues to be the subject of additional guidance, which may be issued from the U.S. Treasury and IRS sometime in 2025, and may materially impact the total amount of the benefits we receive.
Combined Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
(Dollars in millions, unless otherwise noted)
Note 5 — Government Assistance
Nuclear PTCs are initially 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, or an increase in Cash and cash equivalents or Other current assets when sold, depending on the specific payment terms of each contract.
Cash received in the first quarter of 2025 on sale agreements executed in 2024 was approximately $95 million. There were no agreements for sales of nuclear PTCs executed in the first quarter of 2025 or 2024. As of March 31, 2025, our Consolidated Balance Sheets reflect approximately $130 million of nuclear PTCs within Other deferred debits and other assets. As of December 31, 2024, our Consolidated Balance Sheets reflected $185 million of estimated nuclear PTCs within Other deferred debits and other assets, and $95 million within Other current assets. Additionally, as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, we recognized a reduction to Accounts payable and accrued expenses in our Consolidated Balance Sheets of $40 million and $150 million, respectively, for estimated nuclear PTCs that we have utilized as a credit against our current federal income taxes payable.
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 March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, we have recognized approximately $1,030 million of estimated payables within Other deferred credits and other liabilities, Accounts payable and accrued expenses or as offsets to Customer accounts receivable in our Consolidated Balance Sheets associated with programs requiring refunds or pass through of the nuclear PTC. We recognized a benefit to net operating revenue of approximately $110 million and $69 million (pre-tax) for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively, associated with these programs in our Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income. As with the actual amount of the nuclear PTC earned, which cannot be determined until after the end of the calendar year, any change resulting from additional guidance received may materially impact amounts due under state-sponsored programs.

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). On December 31, 2024, we amended the Facility. We no longer sell receivables to the Purchasers and all outstanding receivables were assigned back to us. Under the Facility's prior terms, NER sold eligible short-term customer accounts receivable to the Purchasers in exchange for cash and subordinated interest. The transfers were 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. As a result of the receivables being assigned back to NER under the amended Facility, NER forgave any and all remaining DPP owed by the Purchasers. The reassignment of receivables resulted in the recognition of $1,529 million of Customer accounts receivable as of December 31, 2024. See Note 11 — Debt and Credit Agreements for terms of the amended Facility.
The following table presents our cash proceeds associated with the Facility prior to the amendment.

We previously recognized the cash proceeds received upon sale in Cash flows from operating activities within the Changes in Other assets and liabilities line in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows, which was ($1,812) million for the three months ended March 31, 2024. The collection and reinvestment of DPP was recognized in Cash flows from investing activities in the Collection of DPP, net line in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows, which was $1,644 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024.
See Note 15 — Variable Interest Entities for additional information on NER.
Other Sales of Customer Accounts Receivables
We are required, under supplier tariffs, to sell customer receivables to certain utility companies at a nominal discount. The total gross receivables sold were $1,147 million and $158 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. Prior to the Facility amendment discussed in the preceding paragraphs, certain accounts receivable subject to these supplier tariffs were sold to the Purchasers under the Facility.

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.
We filed our biennial decommissioning funding status report with the NRC in March 2025 for all units, including our shutdown units, except for STP units which were included in a separate report to the NRC submitted by STPNOC. The status reports demonstrated adequate decommissioning funding assurance based on trust fund values as of December 31, 2024 for all our units except for Peach Bottom Unit 1. Financial assurance for decommissioning Peach Bottom Unit 1 is provided by collections from PECO customers.

Other Tax Matters
Tax Matters Agreement
In connection with the separation, we entered 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.
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 in which we were included in joint 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 March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively, our Consolidated Balance Sheets reflect $41 million and $39 million in Other deferred credits and other liabilities, for tax liabilities where we maintain contractual responsibility to Exelon.
Combined Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
(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 March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively, we had $142 million and $138 million in Other accounts receivable and $197 million and $201 million in Other deferred debits and other assets for the reclassified tax attributes expected to be utilized by Exelon after separation in accordance with the terms of the TMA.

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, including NPNS, are available through special election and designation, provided they meet specific, restrictive criteria both at the time of designation and on an ongoing basis. All derivative instruments, excluding NPNS, 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 delivered.
Combined Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
(Dollars in millions, unless otherwise noted)
Note 10 — Derivative Financial Instruments
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 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 our rating to go below investment grade.
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, 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 existing 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.

Interest Rate and Foreign Exchange Risk
We utilize interest rate swaps to manage our interest rate exposure and foreign currency derivatives to manage foreign exchange rate exposure associated with international commodity purchases in currencies other than U.S. dollars, both of which are treated as economic hedges. The notional amounts were $712 million and $592 million as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively.

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 March 31, 2025. 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, as well as 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 and 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 such cases, we believe an amount of several months of future payments (e.g., capacity payments) rather than a calculation of fair value is a reasonable 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 Features | March 31, 2025 | December 31, 2024 | |||||||||
| Gross fair value of derivative contracts containing this feature | $ | (1,517) | $ | (1,346) | |||||||
| Offsetting fair value of contracts under master netting arrangements | 715 | 602 | |||||||||
| Net fair value of derivative contracts containing this feature | $ | (802) | $ | (744) |
As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, 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.
| March 31, 2025 | December 31, 2024 | ||||||||||
| Cash collateral posted(a) | $ | 1,121 | $ | 635 | |||||||
| Letters of credit posted(a) | 769 | 890 | |||||||||
| Cash collateral held(a) | 58 | 49 | |||||||||
| Letters of credit held(a) | 120 | 91 | |||||||||
| Additional collateral required in the event of a credit downgrade below investment grade (at BB+/Ba1)(b)(c)(d) | 2,254 | 1,949 |
(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.

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.
Accounts Receivable Facility
In December 2024, we amended the Facility to provide NER access to revolving loans from a number of financial institutions (Lenders) secured by certain customer accounts receivable. As part of the amendment, the maximum funding limit of the Facility was increased from $1.1 billion to $1.5 billion and the maturity date was extended to December 2027. Under previous terms of the Facility, certain customer accounts receivable were sold to the Purchasers. Immediately following the amendment, all receivables previously sold were assigned back to us and receivables will no longer be sold to the Purchasers under the amendment. Subsequent to the amendment, draws and repayments related to the Facility will be reflected as Proceeds from short-term borrowings and Repayments of short-term borrowings, respectively, in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. Draws on the facility bear interest at a commercial paper rate or a Daily One Month Term SOFR or Term SOFR rate, plus an adder of 0.10% per annum. Interest is payable monthly. There were no draws on the Facility as of March 31, 2025.
The amended Facility requires the balance of eligible receivables to be maintained at or above the balance of cash proceeds received from the Lenders. To the extent the eligible receivables decrease below such balance, we are required to repay cash to the Lenders. When eligible receivables exceed cash proceeds, we have the ability to increase the cash proceeds received up to the maximum funding limit.

(a)Our commercial paper program is supported by the revolving credit agreement. In order to maintain our commercial paper program in the amounts indicated above, we must have a credit facility in place, at least equal to the amount of our commercial paper program. As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the maximum program size of our commercial paper program was $4.5 billion. We do not issue commercial paper in an aggregate amount exceeding the then available capacity under our credit facility. There were no commercial paper borrowings outstanding as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024.
(b)In January 2025, we initiated a new bilateral credit agreement for $200 million, with no maturity date. In March 2025, a bilateral credit agreement initiated in March 2023 was extended for an additional two years to March 2027. In March 2025, we initiated a new bilateral credit agreement for $300 million, scheduled to mature March 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 March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, without posting additional collateral, the actual availability of facility, prior to outstanding letters of credit was $935 million and $928 million, respectively.

Note 12 — Fair Value of Financial Assets and Liabilities
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.
Fair Value of Financial Liabilities Recorded at Amortized Cost
The following table presents the carrying amounts and fair values of our long-term debt and SNF obligation as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024. We have no financial liabilities classified as Level 1. The carrying amounts of the short-term liabilities as presented in the Consolidated Balance Sheets are representative of their fair value (Level 2) because of the short-term nature of these instruments.

Mark-to-Market Derivatives
The following table presents the significant inputs to the forward curve used to value these positions:
| Type of trade | Fair Value as of March 31, 2025 | Fair Value as of December 31, 2024 | Valuation Technique | Unobservable Input | 2025 Range & Arithmetic Average | 2024 Range & Arithmetic Average | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| Option Model | Volatility percentage | 17% - 91% | 54% | 23% - 141% | 57% |
(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 (received) on Level 3 positions of $203 million and $136 million as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, 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 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 March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, we had accrued undiscounted amounts for environmental liabilities of $10 million and $60 million, respectively, in Accounts payable and accrued expenses and $168 million and $169 million, respectively, in Other deferred credits and other liabilities in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. See Note 18 — Commitments and Contingencies of our 2024 Form 10-K for additional information on environmental remediation matters. As of March 31, 2025, and through the date of filing, there have been no material changes in amounts recognized for the matters discussed in our 2024 Form 10-K.
Litigation
General. We are involved in various 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 18 — Commitments and Contingencies of our 2024 Form 10-K for additional information on litigation matters. As of March 31, 2025, and through the date of filing, there have been no significant developments to the matters discussed in our 2024 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.

(Dollars in millions, unless otherwise noted)
Note 13 — Commitments and Contingencies
At March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively, we recorded estimated liabilities of approximately $126 million and $125 million for asbestos-related bodily injury claims. These amounts are primarily included in Other deferred credits and other liabilities in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Current amounts included in Accounts payable and accrued expenses are not material in either of the periods presented. As of March 31, 2025, approximately $17 million related to 208 open claims presented to us, while the remaining $109 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)
Since 2023, our Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to $3 billion of the Company's outstanding common stock. As of March 31, 2025, there was approximately $841 million of remaining authority to repurchase shares of the Company's outstanding common stock, which reflects the impact of the purchases of capped call options. No other repurchase plans or programs have been authorized. See Note 19 — Shareholders' Equity of our 2024 Form 10-K for additional information on our share repurchase program.
During the three months ended March 31, 2025, no share repurchases occurred. During the three months ended March 31, 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.
During the first quarter of 2024, we entered into an ASR agreement with a financial institution to initiate share repurchases of our common stock. Under the ASR agreement, 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 agreement below, we received an initial share delivery based on 80% of the ASR agreement's cost. Upon settlement of the ASR agreement, 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 the ASR agreement based on the average of the daily-volume weighted average share price, less a discount.
The following table summarizes the activity of our ASR agreement for the three months ended March 31, 2024:

Capped Call Options. In February 2025, we entered into two structured share repurchase agreements. Under these agreements, we were required to make up-front cash payments totaling $150 million in exchange for the right to receive a predetermined amount of shares of our common stock or cash at expiration, depending upon the closing price of our common stock on the respective settlement dates. The agreements expire in May 2025 and August 2025. If either option is exercised, we would receive shares which would reduce the number of our total shares outstanding. If the options are not exercised, we will receive our initial up-front cash payment plus a nominal cash premium at the expiration of the agreements. The cash received will restore the remaining authority available for repurchases. Any prepayments or cash payments at settlement are recorded in Common Stock on our Consolidated Balance Sheet and as a financing activity within our Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows.

15. Variable Interest Entities
At March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, we consolidated several VIEs or VIE groups for which we are the primary beneficiary (see Consolidated VIEs below) and had significant interests in several other VIEs for which we do not have the power to direct the entities’ activities and, accordingly, we were not the primary beneficiary (see Unconsolidated VIEs below). Consolidated and unconsolidated VIEs are aggregated to the extent that the entities have similar risk profiles.

| Consolidated VIE or VIE groups: | Reason entity is a VIE: | Reason we are the primary beneficiary: | ||||||||||||
| CRP - A collection of wind and solar project entities. We have a 51% equity ownership in CRP. See additional discussion below. | Similar structure to a limited partnership and the limited partners do not have kick-out rights with respect to the general partner. | We conduct the operational activities. | ||||||||||||

Refer to Note 6 —Accounts Receivable for additional information on the sale of receivables. | Equity capitalization is insufficient to support its operations. | We conduct all activities. |
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 March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, 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.
The following table presents summary information about our significant unconsolidated VIE entities:
| March 31, 2025 | December 31, 2024 | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

These items are included to provide information regarding the relative size of the unconsolidated VIEs. We do not have any exposure to loss as we do not have a carrying amount in the equity investment VIEs as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024.
