This combined Annual Report on Form 10-K is being filed separately by Exelon Corporation, Commonwealth Edison Company, PECO Energy Company, Baltimore Gas and Electric Company, Pepco Holdings LLC, Potomac Electric Power Company, Delmarva Power & Light Company, and Atlantic City Electric Company (Registrants). Information contained herein relating to any individual Registrant is filed by such Registrant on its own behalf. No Registrant makes any representation as to information relating to any other Registrant.

CAUTIONARY STATEMENTS REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING INFORMATION

This Report contains certain forward-looking statements within the meaning of federal securities laws that are subject to risks and uncertainties. Words such as “could,” “may,” “expects,” “anticipates,” “will,” “targets,” “goals,” “projects,” “intends,” “plans,” “believes,” “seeks,” “estimates,” “predicts,” "should," and variations on such words, and similar expressions that reflect our current views with respect to future events and operational, economic and financial performance, are intended to identify such forward-looking statements. Accordingly, any such statements are qualified in their entirety by reference to, and are accompanied by, the following important factors that may cause our actual results or outcomes to differ materially from those contained in our forward-looking statements, including, but not limited to:

  • unfavorable legislative and/or regulatory actions;

  • uncertainty as to outcomes and timing of regulatory approval proceedings and/or negotiated settlements thereof;

  • environmental liabilities and remediation costs;

  • state and federal legislation requiring use of low-emission, renewable, and/or alternate fuel sources and/or mandating implementation of energy conservation programs requiring implementation of new technologies;

  • challenges to tax positions taken, tax law changes, and difficulty in quantifying potential tax effects of business decisions;

  • negative outcomes in legal proceedings;

  • physical security and cybersecurity risks;

  • extreme weather events, natural disasters, operational accidents such as wildfires or natural gas explosions, war, acts and threats of terrorism, public health crises, epidemics, pandemics, or other significant events;

  • disruptions or cost increases in the supply chain, including shortages in labor, materials or parts, or significant increases in relevant tariffs;

  • lack of sufficient power generation resources to meet actual or forecasted demand or disruptions at generation facilities owned by third parties;

  • emerging technologies that could affect or transform the energy industry;

  • instability in capital and credit markets;

  • a downgrade of any Registrant’s credit ratings or other failure to satisfy the credit standards in the Registrants’ agreements or regulatory financial requirements;

  • significant economic downturns or increases in customer rates;

  • impacts of climate change and weather on energy usage and maintenance and capital costs; and

  • impairment of long-lived assets, goodwill, and other assets.

New factors emerge from time to time, and it is impossible for us to predict all of such factors, nor can we assess the impact of each such factor on the business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements. For more information, see those factors discussed with respect to the Registrants in PART I, ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS, and in other reports filed by the Registrants from time to time with the SEC. This Annual Report on Form 10-K also describes material contingencies and critical accounting policies in (a) PART II, ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS and (b) PART II, ITEM 8. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND SUPPLEMENTARY DATA: Note 16, Commitments and Contingencies.

(a)The number of total service territory square miles counts once only a square mile that includes both electric and natural gas services, and thus does not represent the combined total square mileage of electric and natural gas service territories.

(b)The total service territory population counts once only an individual who lives in a region that includes both electric and natural gas services, and thus does not represent the combined total population of electric and natural gas service territories.

(c)The number of total customers counts once only a customer who is both an electric and a natural gas customer, and thus does not represent the combined total of electric customers and natural gas customers.

The Utility Registrants have the necessary authorizations to perform their current business of providing regulated electric and natural gas distribution services in the various municipalities and territories in which they now supply such services. These authorizations include charters, franchises, permits, and certificates of public convenience iss

Item 1A. RISK FACTORS

Each of the Registrants operates in a complex market and regulatory environment that involves significant risks, many of which are beyond that Registrant’s direct control. A number of these risks, any of which could negatively affect one or more of the Registrants’ future Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income, Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows, and/or Consolidated Balance Sheets (consolidated financial statements), are captured below. Although the risks are generally organized by category and separately described, many of these risks are interrelated. Additionally, the risks should be considered holistically with other information included in this filing and future filings with the SEC. There may be further risks and uncertainties that are presently known or that are not currently believed to be material that could negatively affect the Registrants' future consolidated financial statements.

Risks Related to Legislative, Regulatory, and Legal Factors

The Registrants' businesses are highly regulated and electric and gas revenue and earnings could be negatively affected by legislative and/or regulatory actions (All Registrants).

Substantial aspects of the Registrants' businesses are subject to comprehensive Federal or state legislation and/or regulation.

The Utility Registrants' consolidated financial statements are heavily dependent on the ability of the Utility Registrants to recover their costs associated with the retail purchase, transmission, and distribution of power and natural gas to their customers.

Fundamental changes in laws or regulations or adverse legislative or regulatory actions affecting the Registrants’ businesses would require changes in their business planning models and operations. Registrants cannot always predict when or whether legislative or regulatory action will occur and may not be able to influence the outcome of legislative or regulatory initiatives.

Changes in the Utility Registrants' respective terms and conditions of service, including their respective rates, along with adoption of new rate structures and constructs, or establishment of new rate cases, are subject to regulatory approval proceedings and/or negotiated settlements that are at times contentious, lengthy, and subject to appeal, which leads to uncertainty as to the ultimate result, and which could result in uncertainties in rate case outcomes, and/or introduce time delays in effectuating rate changes (All Registrants).

The Utility Registrants are required to engage in regulatory approval proceedings as a part of the process of establishing the terms and rates for their respective services, adoption of new rate structures and constructs or establishment of new rate cases. These proceedings typically involve multiple parties, including governmental bodies and officials, consumer advocacy groups, and various consumers of energy, who have differing concerns but who have the common objective of limiting rate increases or even reducing rates. Decisions are subject to appeal, potentially leading to additional uncertainty associated with the approval proceedings. The potential duration of such proceedings creates a risk that rates ultimately approved by the applicable regulatory body may not be sufficient for a Utility Registrant to recover its costs once the rates become effective. Established rates are also subject to subsequent prudency reviews by state regulators, whereby various portions of rates including recovery mechanisms for costs associated with the procurement of electricity or gas, credit losses, MGP remediation, smart grid infrastructure, and energy efficiency and demand response programs, could be adjusted, subject to refund, or disallowed. In certain instances, the Utility Registrants could agree to negotiated settlements related to various rate matters, customer initiatives, or franchise agreements. These settlements are subject to regulatory approval. The ultimate outcome and timing of regulatory rate proceedings have a significant effect on the ability of the Utility Registrants to recover their costs or earn an adequate return.

In addition to potential timing delays, the Registrants also face other uncertainties in rate proceedings that could impact recovery, including not obtaining anticipated allowed rates of return, allowed capital structures, or allowed return on pension assets, and various other factors.

See Note 2 — Regulatory Matters of the Combined Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.

The Registrants could be subject to higher costs and/or penalties related to mandatory reliability standards, including the likely exposure of the Utility Registrants to the results of NERC compliance requirements (All Registrants).

The Utility Registrants as users, owners, and operators of the bulk power transmission system are subject to mandatory reliability standards promulgated by NERC and enforced by FERC. The standards are based on the functions that need to be performed to ensure the bulk power system operates reliably and are guided by reliability and market interface principles. Compliance with or changes in the reliability standards could subject the Registrants to higher operating costs and/or increased capital expenditures. In addition, the ICC, PAPUC, MDPSC, DCPSC, DEPSC, and NJBPU impose certain distribution reliability standards on the Utility Registrants. If the Utility Registrants were found in non-compliance with the Federal or state mandatory reliability standards,

they could be subject to remediation costs as well as sanctions, which could include substantial monetary penalties.

The Registrants could incur substantial costs to fulfill their obligations related to environmental and other matters (All Registrants).

The Registrants are subject to extensive environmental regulation and legislation by local, state, and Federal authorities. These laws and regulations affect the way the Registrants conduct their operations and make capital expenditures, including how they handle air and water emissions, hazardous and solid waste, and activities affecting surface waters, groundwater, and aquatic and other species. Violations of these requirements could subject the Registrants to enforcement actions, capital expenditures to bring existing facilities into compliance, additional operating costs for remediation and clean-up costs, civil penalties and exposure to third parties’ claims for alleged health or property damages, or operating restrictions to achieve compliance. In addition, the Registrants are subject to liability under these laws for the remediation costs for environmental contamination of property now or formerly owned by the Registrants and of property contaminated by hazardous substances they generated or released. Remediation activities associated with MGP operations conducted by predecessor companies are one component of such costs. Also, the Registrants are currently involved in several proceedings relating to sites where hazardous substances have been deposited and could be subject to additional proceedings in the future. See ITEM 1. BUSINESS — Environmental Matters and Regulation for additional information.

The Registrants could be negatively affected by federal and state RPS, energy conservation and GHG reduction legislation and regulation, and/or changing customer expectations, along with energy conservation by customers (All Registrants).

Risks include changes to energy systems due to new technologies, changing customer expectations and/or voluntary GHG goals, as well as local, state, or federal regulatory requirements intended to reduce GHG emissions and/or mandate implementation of energy conservation programs, including through limitation of the use of natural gas. Changes to current state legislation or the development of Federal legislation that requires the use of low-emission, renewable, and/or alternate fuel sources could significantly impact the Utility Registrants, especially if timely cost recovery is not allowed. In addition, where requirements and compliance mechanisms have previously been established, the withdrawal of such requirements can introduce costs and uncertainty.

Federal and state legislation mandating the implementation of energy conservation programs that require the implementation of new technologies, such as smart grid, DERs and energy efficiency programs, could increase capital expenditures and could significantly impact the Utility Registrants' consolidated financial statements if timely cost recovery is not allowed. These energy conservation programs, regulated energy consumption reduction targets, and new energy consumption technologies for PECO, could cause declines in customer energy consumption and lead to a decline in the Registrants' earnings, if timely recovery is not allowed.

The Registrants also periodically perform analyses of potential energy system transition pathways to reduce economy-wide GHG emissions to mitigate climate change. To the extent additional GHG reduction legislation and/or regulation becomes effective at the Federal and/or state levels, the Registrants could incur costs to further limit the GHG emissions from their operations or otherwise comply with applicable requirements and such legislation and/or regulation could otherwise adversely affect the Registrants' businesses. See ITEM 1. BUSINESS — Environmental Matters and Regulation — Renewable and Clean Energy Standards and "The Registrants are potentially affected by emerging technologies that could over time affect or transform the energy industry" above for additional information.

The Registrants could be negatively affected by challenges to tax positions taken, tax law changes, and the inherent difficulty in quantifying potential tax effects of business decisions. (All Registrants).

The Registrants are required to make judgments to estimate their obligations to taxing authorities, which includes general tax positions taken and associated reserves established. Tax obligations include, but are not limited to: income, real estate, sales and use, and employment-related taxes and ongoing appeal issues related to these tax matters. All tax estimates could be subject to challenge by the tax authorities. Additionally, earnings may be impacted due to changes in federal or local/state tax laws, and the inherent difficulty of estimating potential tax

effects of ongoing business decisions. See Note 1 — Significant Accounting Policies and Note 11 — Income Taxes of the Combined Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.

Legal proceedings could result in a negative outcome, which the Registrants cannot predict (All Registrants).

The Registrants are involved in legal proceedings, claims, and litigation arising out of their business operations. The material legal proceedings, claims, and litigation arising out of business operations are summarized in Note 16 — Commitments and Contingencies of the Combined Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. Adverse outcomes in these proceedings could require significant expenditures, result in lost revenue, or restrict or disrupt business activities.

The Registrants could be subject to adverse publicity and reputational risks, which make them vulnerable to negative customer perception and could lead to increased regulatory oversight or other consequences (All Registrants).

The Registrants could be the subject of public criticism. Adverse publicity could render public service commissions and other regulatory and legislative authorities less likely to view energy companies generally, or the Registrants specifically, in a favorable light, and could cause the Registrants to be susceptible to less favorable legislative and regulatory outcomes, as well as increased regulatory oversight and more stringent legislative or regulatory requirements.

Risks Related to Operational Factors

The Utility Registrants' operating costs are affected by their ability to maintain the availability and reliability of their delivery and operational systems (All Registrants).

Failures of the equipment or facilities used in the Utility Registrants' delivery systems could interrupt electric transmission and/or electric or natural gas delivery, which could result in a loss of revenues and an increase in maintenance and capital expenditures. Equipment or facilities failures can occur due to several factors, including natural causes such as weather or information systems failure. Specifically, if the implementation of AMI, smart grid, or other technologies in the Utility Registrants' service territory fail to perform as intended or are not successfully integrated with billing and other information systems, or if any of the financial, accounting, or other data processing systems fail or have other significant shortcomings, the Utility Registrants' financial results could be negatively impacted. In addition, dependence upon automated systems could further increase the risk that operational system flaws or internal and/or external tampering or manipulation of those systems will result in losses that are difficult to detect.

Regulated utilities, which are required to provide service to all customers within their respective service territories, have generally been afforded liability protections against claims by customers relating to failure of service. Under Illinois law, however, ComEd could be required to pay damages to its customers in some circumstances involving extended outages affecting large numbers of its customers, which could be material.

The Registrants are subject to physical security and cybersecurity risks (All Registrants).

Risks from cybersecurity and physical threats to energy infrastructures and personnel are increasing. Threat actors, including sophisticated nation-state actors and criminal groups, exploit potential vulnerabilities in the electric and natural gas utility industry, grid infrastructure, and other energy infrastructures. Attacks and disruptions, which could involve physical, cyber, and hybrid targeting of physical and cyber assets, are increasingly sophisticated and dynamic. Physical attacks targeting the Registrants' physical assets or personnel could cause injuries, damage, or operational disruptions. The increased implementation of, and reliance on, information technologies and networks to manage business operations, including the operation of technical systems, as well as the Registrants' use of numerous vendors and suppliers, create additional points of vulnerability that could be, and in certain instances have been, exploited by malicious threat actors. Several U.S. government agencies have warned that the energy sector and its supply chains are subject to increasing risks of physical attacks, ransomware attacks and cybersecurity threats, and that the risks may escalate during periods of heightened geopolitical tensions. In addition, the rapid evolution and increased adoption of artificial intelligence technologies may intensify the Registrants' cybersecurity risks.

A security breach of the Registrants' physical assets or information systems or those of the Registrants' competitors, vendors, business partners and interconnected entities (including RTOs and ISOs) could materially impact Registrants by, among other things, impairing the availability of electricity and gas distributed by Registrants and/or the reliability of transmission and distribution systems, damaging grid infrastructure, interrupting critical business functions, impairing the availability of vendor services and materials that the Registrants rely on to maintain their operations, or by leading to the theft or inappropriate release of certain types of information, including critical infrastructure information, system data and architecture, sensitive customer, vendor, or employee data, or other confidential data. While Registrants and some of the Registrants' vendors have experienced cybersecurity incidents, such incidents have not, to Registrants' knowledge, resulted in material impact to any of the Registrants to date.

If a material physical or cybersecurity breach or disruption were to occur, the Registrants' reputation could be negatively affected, customer confidence in the Registrants could be diminished and the Registrants could be subject to legal claims, regulatory exposure, loss of revenues, and increased costs, including infrastructure repairs or operations shutdown, all of which could materially affect the Registrants' financial condition and materially damage their business reputation. Moreover, the amount and scope of insurance maintained against losses resulting from any such security breaches or disruptions may not be sufficient to cover losses or otherwise adequately compensate for any resulting business disruptions. The continued increase in Federal and state regulatory requirements related to cybersecurity and evolving threat actor-capabilities could require changes to measures currently undertaken by the Registrants or to their business operations and could adversely affect their consolidated financial statements.

The Registrants’ electricity and natural gas operations are inherently hazardous and involve significant risks to employees, contractors, customers, and the general public (All Registrants).

Employees and contractors throughout the organization work in, and customers and the general public could be exposed to, potentially dangerous environments near the Registrants’ operations. As a result, employees, contractors, customers, and the general public may face, and in the past have experienced, serious injury, including loss of life, damage to or destruction of facilities and residences, business interruptions, and environmental pollution. These risks include, among others, gas explosions, uncontrolled release of natural gas and other environmental hazards, fires, pole strikes, and electric contact cases. Further, the location of natural gas pipelines and associated distribution facilities, or electric generation, transmission, substations and distribution facilities near populated areas, including residential areas, commercial business centers and industrial sites, increases the potential damages resulting from these risks.

Extreme weather events, natural disasters, operational accidents such as wildfires or natural gas explosions, war, acts and threats of terrorism or sabotage, cyberattacks or compromises, equipment or process failures, public health crises, or other significant events could negatively impact the Registrants' results of operations, ability to raise capital and future growth (All Registrants).

The Utility Registrants' infrastructures and/or operations could be affected by extreme weather events, natural disasters, operational accidents such as wildfires or natural gas explosions or equipment or process failures due to aging infrastructure or otherwise, each of which could result in increased costs, including supply chain costs and claims for third-party property damage. An extreme weather event, natural disaster, wildfire, or operational accident within the Utility Registrants’ service areas can also directly affect their capital assets, causing disruption in service to customers due to downed wires and poles or damage to other operating equipment.

The Registrants face a risk that their operations would be direct targets or indirect casualties of attacks or sabotaged by nation-states or their agents, or by foreign or domestic terrorist groups. Responses to such attacks or sabotage, and any resulting retaliatory actions or sustained conflict could affect the Registrants’ operations and finances in unpredictable and material ways. Furthermore, such events could compromise the physical or cybersecurity of the Registrants' facilities, which could adversely affect the Registrants' ability to manage their businesses effectively. Instability in the financial markets as a result of terrorism, war, natural disasters, public health crises, epidemics, pandemics, credit crises, recession, sustained high inflation, or other significant events also could result in a decline in energy consumption or interruption of fuel or the supply chain. In addition, the

implementation of security guidelines and measures has resulted in and is expected to continue to result in increased costs.

The Registrants could be significantly affected by public health crises, including epidemics or pandemics. The Registrants have plans in place to respond to such events. However, depending on the severity and the resulting impacts to workforce and other resource availability, a public health crisis, epidemic, or pandemic could adversely affect our vendors, or customers and customer demand as well as the Registrants’ ability to operate their transmission and distribution assets.

In addition, Exelon, on behalf of the Registrants, maintains a level of insurance coverage consistent with industry practices against property, casualty, third party liability, and cybersecurity losses subject to unforeseen occurrences or catastrophic events that could damage or destroy assets or interrupt operations. However, such losses may not be covered under applicable insurance policies, or the amount of insurance may be inadequate to cover all such losses.

The Registrants are subject to risks associated with climate change (All Registrants).

The Registrants periodically perform analyses to better understand long-term projections of climate change and how those changes in the physical environments where they operate could affect their facilities and operations. The Registrants primarily operate in the Midwest and Mid-Atlantic of the United States, areas that historically have been prone to various types of severe weather events, and the Registrants have well-developed response and recovery programs based on these historical events. However, the Registrants’ physical facilities could be at greater risk of damage as changes in the global climate affect temperature and weather patterns, including if such climate changes result in more intense, frequent and extreme weather events, elevated or decreased levels of precipitation, sea level rise, increased temperatures, wildfires and/or other effects.

In addition, changes to the climate may impact levels and patterns of demand for energy and related services, which could affect Registrants’ operations and business.

The Registrants’ businesses are capital intensive, and their assets could require significant expenditures to maintain, are subject to operational failure and could be impacted by disruptions or cost increases in the supply chain, including shortages in labor, materials or parts, or significant increases in relevant tariffs which could result in potential liability (All Registrants).

The Utility Registrants’ businesses are capital intensive and require significant investments in transmission and distribution infrastructure projects. Equipment, even if maintained in accordance with good utility practices, is subject to operational failure, including events that are beyond the Utility Registrants’ control, and could require significant expenditures to operate efficiently. Disruptions or cost increases in the supply chain, including shortages in labor, materials or parts, or significant increases in relevant tariffs, could materially impact the timing and execution of capital projects, and the timing of placing assets in service, as well as other aspects of the Registrants' businesses. In recent years, the energy industry has been experiencing shortages of, and long lead times for, critical equipment such as transformers and conductors. The Registrants' consolidated financial statements could be negatively affected if they were unable to effectively manage their capital projects or raise the necessary capital, or if they are deemed liable for operational failure. See ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS — Liquidity and Capital Resources for additional information regarding the Registrants’ potential future capital expenditures.

Lack of sufficient generation and energy storage to meet actual or forecasted demand or disruptions at power generation facilities owned by third parties could interrupt transmission and distribution services, impair economic development, cause outages, and result in use limitations or affordability implications for customers. (All Registrants)

Exelon does not generate the electricity it delivers. The Utility Registrants purchase, transmit, and distribute electric power obtained from power generation facilities owned by third parties. This power is primarily procured through contracts as directed by the Utility Registrants’ respective state laws and regulatory commission actions from various approved bidders or from purchases on the PJM operated markets. Third-party power generation may be insufficient to meet our customers’ electricity demand in the short- and medium-term because of extreme

weather, fuel security, market procurement, regulatory requirements, operational issues, maintenance outages, inflexibility of demand, or financial uncertainty impacting existing or prospective generation facilities. Faster energy demand growth, acceleration of generator retirements, or the limited entry of new generating resources in any of the Utility Registrants’ respective service territories may result in a longer-term power generation capacity shortfall. Exelon has forecast substantial increases in load, driven largely by the increasing use of data processing facilities dedicated to cloud services, artificial intelligence technologies, and other applications. If third-party power generation capacity is insufficient to meet any Utility Registrant’s customers’ electricity demand or customers’ electricity demand across PJM over any period, transmission and distribution services may be diminished or interrupted, and results of operations, financial condition, and cash flows could be adversely affected.

In the event generation capacity is insufficient to meet demand, the Utility Registrants’ customers may experience greater price volatility, power service outages during peak demand periods or during generation contingencies (e.g., severe storms), and electricity use limits to maintain system balance. Furthermore, the Utility Registrants may be unable to support new economic development should generation constraints last for extended periods.

Energy storage systems provide additional resources for enhancing grid reliability and stability by providing rapid response capabilities, allowing the injection and absorption of power during electric supply and demand imbalances. As forecasted load increases, the lack of sufficient energy storage growth may also lead to greater price volatility and challenges in power services for customers.

The Utility Registrants' respective ability to deliver electricity, their operating costs, and their capital expenditures could be negatively impacted by the insufficiency of generation or energy storage resources to meet demand, transmission congestion, and failures of neighboring transmission systems (All Registrants).

Demand for electricity within the Utility Registrants' service areas could stress available transmission capacity requiring alternative routing or curtailment of electricity usage. Also, insufficient availability of electric supply to meet customer demand could jeopardize the Utility Registrants' ability to comply with reliability standards and strain customer and regulatory agency relationships. As is the case for electric utilities generally, potential concerns over transmission capacity or generation facility retirements could result in PJM or FERC requiring the Utility Registrants to upgrade or expand their respective transmission systems through additional capital expenditures. Delays in siting, permitting, and interconnection could defer the introduction of new generation or energy storage resources that could address resource adequacy concerns.

PJM’s systems and operations are designed to ensure the reliable operation of the transmission grid and prevent the operations of one utility from having an adverse impact on the operations of the other utilities. However, service interruptions at other utilities may cause interruptions in the Utility Registrants’ service areas. Additionally, efforts to artificially manipulate power demand on the grid, or even accidental activity that results in sharp fluctuations of demand, could disrupt grid operations.

The Registrants' performance could be negatively affected if they fail to attract and retain an appropriately qualified workforce (All Registrants).

Certain factors, such as employee strikes, work stoppages, loss of employees, loss of contract resources due to a major event, inability to negotiate future collective bargaining agreements on commercially reasonable terms, an aging workforce, mismatching of skill sets for current and future needs, and failing to appropriately anticipate future workforce needs, could lead to operating challenges and increased costs for the Registrants. Such challenges include lack of resources, loss of knowledge and a lengthy time period associated with skill development. Such events and other factors could result in increased costs, including costs of replacing lost labor through contractors or new hires, training costs, and costs of lost productivity. Such events also could increase operational risks. The Registrants are particularly affected due to the specialized knowledge required of the technical and support employees needed to conduct Registrants' transmission and distribution operations as well as areas where new technologies are pertinent.

The Registrants’ performance could be negatively affected by poor performance of third-party contractors that perform periodic or ongoing work (All Registrants).

The Registrants rely on third-party contractors to perform operations, maintenance, and construction work. Performance standards typically are included in all contractual obligations, but poor performance may impact capital execution plans or operations, or have adverse financial, regulatory, or reputational consequences.

The Registrants could make acquisitions or investments in new business initiatives and new markets, which may not be successful or achieve the intended financial results (All Registrants).

The Utility Registrants face risks associated with regulator-mandated or other new business initiatives, such as smart grids and broader beneficial electrification. Such risks include, but are not limited to, cost recovery, regulatory concerns, cybersecurity, and obsolescence of technology. Such initiatives may not be successful, and failures could result in adverse financial or reputational consequences.

Risks Related to Market and Financial Factors

The Registrants are potentially affected by emerging technologies that could over time affect or transform the energy industry (All Registrants).

Advancements in power generation technology, including commercial and residential solar generation installations and commercial micro turbine installations, are improving the cost-effectiveness of customer self-supply of electricity. Improvements in energy storage technology, including batteries and fuel cells, could also better position customers to meet their around-the-clock electricity requirements. Improvements in energy efficiency of lighting, appliances, equipment and building materials will also affect energy consumption by customers. Changes in power generation, storage, and use technologies could have significant effects on customer behaviors and their energy consumption.

These developments could affect levels of customer-owned generation, customer expectations, and current business models and make portions of the Utility Registrants' transmission and/or distribution facilities uneconomic prior to the end of their useful lives. Increasing pressure from both the private and public sectors to take actions to mitigate climate change could also push the speed and nature of this transition. These factors could affect the Registrants’ consolidated financial statements through, among other things, increased Operating and maintenance expenses, increased capital expenditures, and potential asset impairment charges or accelerated depreciation over shortened remaining asset useful lives.

The Registrants could be negatively affected by unstable capital and credit markets (All Registrants).

The Registrants rely on the capital markets, particularly for publicly offered debt, as well as the banking and commercial paper markets, to meet their financial commitments and short-term liquidity needs. Disruptions in the capital and credit markets in the United States or abroad could negatively affect the Registrants’ ability to access the capital markets or draw on their respective bank revolving credit facilities. The banks may not be able to meet their funding commitments to the Registrants if they experience shortages of capital and liquidity or if they experience excessive volumes of borrowing requests within a short period of time. The inability to access capital markets or credit facilities, and longer-term disruptions in the capital and credit markets because of uncertainty, changing or increased regulation, reduced alternatives, or failures of significant financial institutions could result in the deferral of discretionary capital expenditures, or require a reduction in dividend payments or other discretionary uses of cash. In addition, the Registrants have exposure to worldwide financial markets, including Europe, Canada, and Asia. Disruptions in these markets could reduce or restrict the Registrants’ ability to secure sufficient liquidity or secure liquidity at reasonable terms. As of December 31, 2025, approximately 17%, 11%, and 17% of the Registrants’ available credit facilities were with European, Canadian, and Asian banks, respectively. Additionally, higher interest rates may put pressure on the Registrants’ overall liquidity profile, financial health and impact financial results. See Note 14 — Debt and Credit Agreements of the Combined Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information on the credit facilities.

If any of the Registrants were to experience a downgrade in its credit ratings to below investment grade or otherwise fail to satisfy the credit standards in its agreements with its counterparties or regulatory financial requirements, it would be required to provide significant

amounts of collateral that could affect its liquidity and could experience higher borrowing costs (All Registrants).

The Utility Registrants' operating agreements with PJM and PECO's, BGE's, and DPL's natural gas procurement contracts contain collateral provisions that are affected by their credit rating and market prices. If certain wholesale market conditions were to exist and the Utility Registrants were to lose their investment grade credit ratings (based on their senior unsecured debt ratings), they would be required to provide collateral in the forms of letters of credit or cash, which could have a material adverse effect upon their remaining sources of liquidity. PJM collateral posting requirements will generally increase as market prices rise and decrease as market prices fall. Collateral posting requirements for PECO, BGE, and DPL, with respect to their natural gas supply contracts, will generally increase as forward market prices fall and decrease as forward market prices rise. If the Utility Registrants were downgraded, they could experience higher borrowing costs as a result of the downgrade. In addition, changes in ratings methodologies by the agencies could also have an adverse negative impact on the ratings of the Utility Registrants.

The Utility Registrants conduct their respective businesses and operate under governance models and other arrangements and procedures intended to assure that the Utility Registrants are treated as separate, independent companies, distinct from Exelon and other Exelon subsidiaries in order to isolate the Utility Registrants from Exelon and other Exelon subsidiaries in the event of financial difficulty at Exelon or another Exelon subsidiary. These measures (commonly referred to as “ring-fencing”) could help avoid or limit a downgrade in the credit ratings of the Utility Registrants in the event of a reduction in the credit rating of Exelon. Despite these ring-fencing measures, the credit ratings of the Utility Registrants could remain linked, to some degree, to the credit ratings of Exelon. Consequently, a reduction in the credit rating of Exelon could result in a reduction of the credit rating of some or all of the Utility Registrants. A reduction in the credit rating of a Utility Registrant could have a material adverse effect on the Utility Registrant.

See ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS — Liquidity and Capital Resources — Credit Matters and Cash Requirements — Security Ratings for additional information regarding the potential impacts of credit downgrades on the Registrants’ cash flows.

The impacts of significant economic downturns or increases in customer rates, could lead to decreased volumes delivered and increased expense for uncollectible customer balances (All Registrants).

The impacts of significant economic downturns on the Utility Registrants' customers and the related regulatory limitations on residential service terminations for the Utility Registrants, could result in an increase in the number of uncollectible customer balances and related expense. Further, increases in customer rates, including those related to increases in Purchased power and natural gas prices, could result in declines in customer usage and lower revenues for the Utility Registrants that do not have decoupling mechanisms.

See ITEM 7A. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK for additional information on the Registrants’ credit risk.

The Registrants could be negatively affected by the impacts of weather (All Registrants).

Weather conditions directly influence the demand for electricity and natural gas and affect the price of energy commodities. Temperatures above normal levels in the summer tend to increase summer cooling electricity demand and revenues, and temperatures below normal levels in the winter tend to increase winter heating electricity and gas demand and revenues. Moderate temperatures adversely affect the usage of energy and resulting operating revenues at PECO and DPL Delaware. Due to revenue decoupling, operating revenues from electric distribution at ComEd, BGE, Pepco, DPL Maryland, and ACE and gas distribution at BGE are not intended to be affected by abnormal weather.

Extreme weather conditions or damage resulting from storms could stress the Utility Registrants' transmission and distribution systems, communication systems, and technology, resulting in increased maintenance and capital costs and limiting each Utility Registrant's ability to meet peak customer demand. First and third quarter financial results, in particular, are substantially dependent on weather conditions, and could make period comparisons less relevant.

Climate change projections suggest increases to summer temperature and humidity trends, as well as more erratic precipitation and storm patterns over the long-term in the areas where the Utility Registrants have transmission and distribution assets. The frequency in which weather conditions emerge outside the current expected climate norms could contribute to weather-related impacts discussed above.

Long-lived assets, goodwill, and other assets could become impaired (All Registrants).

Long-lived assets represent the single largest asset class on the Registrants’ statements of financial position. In addition, Exelon, ComEd, and PHI have material goodwill balances.

The Registrants evaluate the recoverability of the carrying value of long-lived assets to be held and used whenever events or circumstances indicating a potential impairment exist. Factors such as, but not limited to, the business climate, including current and future energy and market conditions, environmental regulation, and the condition of assets are considered.

ComEd and PHI perform an assessment for possible impairment of their goodwill at least annually or more frequently if an event occurs or circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of the reporting units below their carrying amount. Regulatory actions or changes in significant assumptions, including discount and growth rates, utility sector market performance and transactions, projected operating and capital cash flows for ComEd’s, Pepco’s, DPL’s, and ACE’s business, and the fair value of debt, could potentially result in future impairments of Exelon’s, ComEd's, and PHI’s goodwill.

An impairment would require the Registrants to reduce the carrying value of the long-lived asset or goodwill to fair value through a non-cash charge to expense by the amount of the impairment. See ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS — Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates, Note 6 — Property, Plant, and Equipment, Note N/A — Asset Impairments, and Note 10 — Intangible Assets of the Combined Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information on long-lived asset impairments and goodwill impairments.

The Registrants could incur substantial costs in the event of non-performance by third-parties under indemnification agreements, or when the Registrants have guaranteed their performance (All Registrants).

The Registrants have entered into various agreements with counterparties that require those counterparties to reimburse a Registrant and hold it harmless against specified obligations and claims. To the extent that any of these counterparties are affected by deterioration in their creditworthiness or the agreements are otherwise determined to be unenforceable, the affected Registrant could be held responsible for the obligations. Each of the Utility Registrants has transferred its former generation assets to one or more third parties and in each case the transferee has agreed to assume certain obligations and to indemnify the applicable Utility Registrant for such obligations. In connection with the restructurings under which ComEd, PECO, and BGE transferred their generating assets to Constellation, Constellation assumed certain of ComEd’s, PECO’s, and BGE's rights and obligations with respect to their former generation assets. Further, ComEd, PECO, and BGE have entered into agreements with third parties under which the third-party agreed to indemnify ComEd, PECO, or BGE for certain obligations related to their respective former generation assets that have been assumed by Constellation as part of the restructuring. If Constellation or a transferee of one of the Utility Registrant’s generation assets experienced events that reduced its creditworthiness or the indemnity arrangement became unenforceable, the applicable Utility Registrant could be liable for any existing or future claims. In addition, the Utility Registrants have residual liability under certain laws in connection with their former generation assets.

The Registrants have issued indemnities to third parties regarding environmental or other matters in connection with purchases and sales of assets, including several of the Utility Registrants in connection with Constellation's absorption of their former generating assets. The Registrants could incur substantial costs to fulfill their obligations under these indemnities.

The Registrants have issued guarantees of the performance of third parties, which obligate the Registrants to perform if the third parties do not perform. In the event of non-performance by those third parties, the Registrants could incur substantial cost to fulfill their obligations under these guarantees.

Market performance and other factors could decrease the value of employee benefit plan assets and could increase the related employee benefit plan obligations, which then could require significant additional funding (All Registrants).

Disruptions in the capital markets and their actual or perceived effects on particular businesses and the greater economy could adversely affect the value of the investments held within Exelon’s employee benefit plan trusts. The asset values are subject to market fluctuations and will yield uncertain returns, which could fall below Exelon's projected return rates. A decline in the market value of the pension and OPEB plan assets would increase the funding requirements associated with Exelon’s pension and OPEB plan obligations. Additionally, Exelon’s pension and OPEB plan liabilities are sensitive to changes in interest rates. As interest rates decrease, the liabilities increase, potentially increasing benefit costs and funding requirements. Changes in demographics, including increased numbers of retirements or changes in life expectancy assumptions or changes to Social Security or Medicare eligibility requirements could also increase the costs and funding requirements of the obligations related to the pension and OPEB plans. See Note 12 — Retirement Benefits of the Combined Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.

Item 1C. CYBERSECURITY

Risk management and strategy

Cybersecurity risk for all Registrants is managed at the enterprise-level. Management of material risks from cybersecurity threats is integrated into the Registrants' overall risk management processes and is monitored as an enterprise risk. Exelon's Chief Information Security Officer (CISO) and cybersecurity management team regularly hold meetings with senior management of each Registrant, facilitated by Exelon’s enterprise risk management team, to discuss issues pertaining to cybersecurity risk management, including changes in the nature and origin of threats, threat actor and risk mitigation activities, and regulatory developments. Exelon legal and compliance professionals engage with the CISO and cybersecurity management team to address tactical and strategic cybersecurity risks. Exelon monitors cybersecurity risks through key risk indicators to identify potential changes in risk exposure and provide the Board of Directors with information about the monitoring of key risks in connection with its oversight of the Registrants' enterprise risk management system.

The CISO, through Exelon’s Cyber Information and Security Services (CISS), reviews external and internal sources to obtain cyber threat intelligence to develop strategic and tactical threat assessments that inform the enterprise-wide cyber risk mitigation programs and actions. Exelon uses a wide range of tools, including endpoint, anomaly and network detection, logging and monitoring of security events, network segmentation, firewalls, hardening and securing devices, cyber vulnerability detection and patch management, cyber threat hunting, malware forensic analysis, industry-specific reports, and tabletop exercises to inform the cybersecurity management team. Exelon protects assets critical to grid reliability and national security through the implementation of the North American Electric Reliability Corporation’s Critical Infrastructure Protection requirements, and gas pipeline security under the U.S. Department of Homeland Security’s Transportation Safety Administration’s Security Directives. Exelon maintains security relationships with law enforcement and U.S. intelligence agencies, coordinates with the Electricity Information Sharing and Analysis Center (E-ISAC) and participates in the Department of Energy’s Cybersecurity Risk Information Sharing Program (CRISP) to strengthen the security of the energy grid, share information, design and participate in drills and exercises such as the bi-annual Grid Security Exercises and facilitate cross-sector coordination. Exelon applies stringent employee and contractor screening, and advances security awareness through training and monitoring programs that address both cyber and physical threats. Exelon employees are subject to annual mandatory training addressing security awareness, including cybersecurity and phishing. Exelon maintains cyber insurance coverage at limits consistent with the utility industry and reviews policy coverage and limits on an annual basis.

In assessing the effectiveness of its cybersecurity risk management program, the CISO makes use of external perspectives from regulatory compliance audits and inspections, external audits of the Registrants' financial systems, and third-party incident response and detection analytics. Cybersecurity risks associated with the Registrants’ use of certain third-party service providers are evaluated and managed through CISS' Third Party Security team that leverages security risk assessments, contractual terms and conditions, and security awareness training for such providers. Additionally, those providers are required to report cybersecurity incidents, including the unauthorized use or disclosure of Registrants’ confidential information to Exelon’s security operations center. Third Party Security investigates certain third-party cybersecurity events as part of Exelon’s incident response program.

Governance

The Operations, Safety and Customer Experience Committee (OSCC) and Exelon Board of Directors are responsible for oversight of risks from cybersecurity threats. As documented in the Cybersecurity Oversight Policy, the Board of Directors oversees Exelon's cybersecurity program and Exelon’s enterprise-wide risk related to cybersecurity, including management’s identification, assessment, and mitigation of cybersecurity risks. At each regular quarterly meeting, the OSCC engages with the CISO and a cross-functional management team regarding the risks from cybersecurity threats, and the Board of Directors receives reports on cybersecurity risks at least annually. The CISO and professionals from the legal and compliance departments brief the OSCC on relevant topics, including information security and operational security, legislative and regulatory developments, and notable external cyber events relevant to Exelon and the industry more broadly. Management engages with the OSCC and the Board of Directors on risks from cybersecurity threats as appropriate outside of the quarterly meetings.

The CISO manages Exelon's enterprise-wide cybersecurity programs and reports to Exelon’s Chief Information Officer. The CISO has been responsible for assessing and managing material risks from cybersecurity threats at Exelon since 2018 and was named to the current role in 2022. The CISO has 26 years of information technology and cybersecurity experience in the critical infrastructure sector, of which 24 years have been in the utility industry. The CISO leads CISS, which manages centralized information technology and operational technology security programs for the Registrants. The programs are aligned to the National Institute of Standards and Technology Cyber Security Framework (NIST CSF) and integrate cyber asset identification; threat assessment; risk assessment; risk management; and risk monitoring. CISS operates a security operations center for monitoring, identifying, and mitigating potential cybersecurity events or incidents.

Exelon maintains a single, centralized cybersecurity incident response program and plan that aligns with NIST CSF by integrating the identify, determine/classify, escalate and respond functions (which track the lifecycle of an event or incident). Security threats and incidents are identified and assessed to determine potential impact and escalated to senior cybersecurity management and the CISO. The CISO directs the security incident response team to contain, eradicate, and recover from an active threat. Exelon leverages the expertise of dedicated incident response vendors that can provide timely and specialized support to respond and recover from an event. The CISO and a cross-functional team convene as needed to evaluate cybersecurity events, including third-party events. The legal and compliance departments provide incident response support to the CISO, manage cybersecurity-related legal and compliance issues, and direct materiality evaluations using both qualitative and quantitative factors for each Registrant.

Although the Registrants have not experienced any material cybersecurity events to date, cybersecurity threats could materially affect each Registrant’s business strategy, results of operations, or financial condition, as further discussed in the risk factor entitled “The Registrants are subject to physical and cybersecurity risks" in ITEM 1A. of this report.

Item 2. PROPERTIES

The Utility Registrants

The Utility Registrants' electric substations and a portion of their transmission rights are located on property that they own. A significant portion of their electric transmission and distribution facilities are located above or underneath highways, streets, other public places, or property that others own. The Utility Registrants believe that they have satisfactory rights to use those places or property in the form of permits, grants, easements, licenses, and franchise rights; however, they have not necessarily undertaken to examine the underlying title to the land upon which the rights rest.

Transmission and Distribution

The Utility Registrants’ high voltage electric transmission lines owned and in service as of December 31, 2025 were as follows:

Item 7. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

(Dollars in millions except per share data, unless otherwise noted)

Exelon

Executive Overview

Exelon is a utility services holding company engaged in the energy transmission and distribution businesses through its six reportable segments: ComEd, PECO, BGE, Pepco, DPL, and ACE. See Note 1 — Significant Accounting Policies and Note 4 — Segment Information of the Combined Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information regarding Exelon's principal subsidiaries and reportable segments.

Exelon’s consolidated financial information includes the results of its seven separate operating subsidiary registrants, ComEd, PECO, BGE, PHI, Pepco, DPL, and ACE, which, along with Exelon, are collectively referred to as the Registrants. The following combined Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations is separately filed by Exelon, ComEd, PECO, BGE, PHI, Pepco, DPL, and ACE. However, none of the Registrants makes any representation as to information related solely to any of the other Registrants. For discussion of the Utility Registrants' year ended December 31, 2024 compared to the year ended December 31, 2023, refer to ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS in the 2024 Form 10-K, which was filed with the SEC on February 12, 2025.

Financial Results of Operations

GAAP Results of Operations. The following table sets forth Exelon's GAAP consolidated Net income attributable to common shareholders by Registrant for the year ended December 31, 2025 compared to the same period in 2024. For additional information regarding the financial results for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, see the discussions of Results of Operations by Registrant.

(a)Other primarily includes eliminating and consolidating adjustments, Exelon’s corporate operations, shared service entities, and other financing and investing activities.

Year Ended December 31, 2025 Compared to Year Ended December 31, 2024. Net income attributable to common shareholders increased by $308 million and Diluted earnings per average common share increased to $2.73 in 2025 from $2.45 in 2024 primarily due to:

  • Favorable impacts of rate increases at ComEd, PECO, BGE, and PHI;

  • Favorable weather at PECO;

  • Higher return on regulatory assets at ComEd;

  • Higher AFUDC at ComEd;

  • Lower income tax expense at PECO;

  • Lower storm costs at BGE; and

  • Impacts of the multi-year plan reconciliation at BGE.

Note that rate increases are associated with updated recovery rates for costs and investments to serve customers. The increases were partially offset by:

  • Higher interest expense at PECO, BGE, PHI, and Exelon Corporate;

  • Higher depreciation expense at PECO and PHI;

  • Higher contracting costs at PECO and PHI;

  • Lower transmission peak load due to lower energy demand at ComEd;

  • Absence of the Maryland multi-year plan reconciliations at PHI;

  • Charitable contributions at Exelon Corporate;

  • Lower AFUDC at PHI; and

  • Higher income tax expense at Exelon Corporate.

Adjusted (non-GAAP) operating earnings. In addition to Net income, Exelon evaluates its operating performance using the measure of Adjusted (non-GAAP) operating earnings because management believes it represents earnings directly related to the ongoing operations of the business. Adjusted (non-GAAP) operating earnings exclude certain costs, expenses, gains and losses, and other specified items. This information is intended to enhance an investor’s overall understanding of year-over-year operating results and provide an indication of Exelon’s baseline operating performance excluding items not considered by management to be directly related to the ongoing operations of the business. In addition, this information is among the primary indicators management uses as a basis for evaluating performance, allocating resources, setting incentive compensation targets, and planning and forecasting of future periods. Adjusted (non-GAAP) operating earnings is not a presentation defined under GAAP and may not be comparable to other companies’ presentations or deemed more useful than the GAAP information provided elsewhere in this report.

The following table provides a reconciliation between Net income attributable to common shareholders as determined in accordance with GAAP and Adjusted (non-GAAP) operating earnings for the year ended December 31, 2025 compared to 2024:

20252024
(In millions, except per share data)Earnings per Diluted ShareEarnings per Diluted Share
Net income attributable to common shareholders$2,768$2.73$2,460$2.45

Note:

Amounts may not sum due to rounding.

Unless otherwise noted, the income tax impact of each reconciling item between GAAP Net income and Adjusted (non-GAAP) operating earnings is based on the marginal statutory federal and state income tax rates for each Registrant, taking into account whether the income or expense item is taxable or deductible, respectively, in whole or in part. The marginal statutory income tax rates for 2025 and 2024 ranged from 24.0% to 29.0%.

Item 7A. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

The Registrants hold commodity and financial instruments that are exposed to the following market risks:

  • Commodity price risk, which is discussed further below.

  • Counterparty credit risk associated with non-performance by counterparties on executed derivative instruments and participation in all, or some of the established, wholesale spot energy markets that are administered by PJM. The credit policies of PJM may, under certain circumstances, require that losses arising from the default of one member on spot energy market transactions be shared by the remaining participants. See Note 13 — Derivative Financial Instruments of the Combined Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for a detailed discussion of counterparty credit risk related to derivative instruments.

  • Equity price and interest rate risk associated with Exelon’s pension and OPEB plan trusts. See Note 12 — Retirement Benefits of the Combined Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.

  • Interest rate risk associated with changes in interest rates for the Registrants’ outstanding long-term debt. This risk is significantly reduced as substantially all of the Registrants’ outstanding debt has fixed interest rates. There is inherent interest rate risk related to refinancing maturing debt by issuing new long-term debt. The Registrants use a combination of hybrid, convertible, fixed-rate and variable-rate debt to manage interest rate exposure. See Note 14 — Debt and Credit Agreements of the Combined Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information. In addition, Exelon Corporate may utilize interest rate derivatives to lock in rate levels in anticipation of future financings, which are typically designated as cash flow hedges. See Note 13 — Derivative Financial Instruments of the Combined Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.

The Utility Registrants operate primarily under cost-based rate regulation limiting exposure to the effects of market risk. Hedging programs are utilized to reduce exposure to energy and natural gas price volatility and have no direct earnings impacts as the costs are fully recovered through regulatory-approved recovery mechanisms.

Exelon manages these risks through risk management policies and objectives for risk assessment, control and valuation, counterparty credit approval, and the monitoring and reporting of risk exposures. Risk management issues are reported to Exelon’s Board of Directors, Exelon's Audit and Risk Committee, and/or the applicable Utility Board Registrant. The Registrants do not execute derivatives for speculative or proprietary trading purposes.

Commodity Price Risk (All Registrants)

Commodity price risk is associated with price movements resulting from changes in supply and demand, fuel costs, market liquidity, weather conditions, governmental regulatory and environmental policies, and other factors. To the extent the total amount of energy Exelon purchases differs from the amount of energy it has contracted to sell, Exelon is exposed to market fluctuations in commodity prices. Exelon seeks to mitigate its commodity price risk through the sale and purchase of electricity and natural gas.

ComEd entered into 20-year floating-to-fixed renewable energy swap contracts beginning in June 2012, which are considered an economic hedge and have changes in fair value recorded to an offsetting regulatory asset or liability. ComEd has block energy contracts to procure electric supply that are executed through a competitive procurement process, which are considered derivatives and qualify for NPNS, and as a result are accounted for on an accrual basis of accounting. PECO, BGE, Pepco, DPL, and ACE have contracts to procure electric supply that are executed through a competitive procurement process. PECO, BGE, Pepco, DPL, and ACE have certain full requirements contracts, which are considered derivatives and qualify for NPNS, and as a result are accounted for on an accrual basis of accounting. Other full requirements contracts are not derivatives.

PECO, BGE, and DPL also have executed derivative natural gas contracts, which qualify for NPNS, to hedge their long-term price risk in the natural gas market.

For additional information on these contracts, see Note 2 — Regulatory Matters and Note 13 — Derivative Financial Instruments of the Combined Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

The following table presents the maturity and source of fair value for Exelon's and ComEd's mark-to-market commodity contract net liabilities. These net liabilities are associated with ComEd's floating-to-fixed energy swap contracts with unaffiliated suppliers. The table provides two fundamental pieces of information. First, the table provides the source of fair value used in determining the carrying amount of Exelon's and ComEd's total mark-to-market liabilities. Second, the table shows the maturity, by year, of Exelon's and ComEd's commodity contract liabilities giving an indication of when these mark-to-market amounts will settle and require cash. See Note 15 — Fair Value of Financial Assets and Liabilities of the Combined Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information regarding fair value measurements and the fair value hierarchy.

(a)Represents ComEd's net liabilities associated with the floating-to-fixed energy swap contracts with unaffiliated suppliers.

Credit Risk (All Registrants)

Credit risk for the Utility Registrants is governed by credit and collection policies, which are aligned with state regulatory requirements. The Utility Registrants are currently obligated to provide service to all electric customers within their franchised territories. The Utility Registrants record an allowance for credit losses, based upon historical experience, current information, and forward-looking risk factors, to provide for the potential loss from nonpayment by these customers. The Utility Registrants will monitor nonpayment from customers and will make any necessary adjustments to the allowance for credit losses. See Note 1 — Significant Accounting Policies of

the Combined Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for the allowance for credit losses policy. The Utility Registrants did not have any customers representing over 10% of their revenues as of December 31, 2025. See Note 2 — Regulatory Matters of the Combined Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.

The management of Baltimore Gas and Electric Company (BGE) is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(f). Internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

BGE’s management conducted an assessment of the effectiveness of BGE’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2025. In making this assessment, management used the criteria in Internal Control—Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Based on this assessment, BGE’s management concluded that, as of December 31, 2025, BGE’s internal control over financial reporting was effective.

Item 9. CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE

All Registrants

None.

Item 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

All Registrants—Disclosure Controls and Procedures

During the fourth quarter of 2025, each of the Registrant's management, including its principal executive officer and principal financial officer, evaluated disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a‑15(e) and 15d‑15(e)) as of the end of the period covered by this report, pursuant to Exchange Act Rules 13a‑15(b) and 15d‑15(b). These disclosure controls and procedures have been designed by the Registrants to ensure that (a) material information relating to that Registrant, including its consolidated subsidiaries, is accumulated and made known to that Registrant’s management, including its principal executive officer and principal financial officer, by other employees of that Registrant and its subsidiaries as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure, and (b) this information is recorded, processed, summarized, evaluated, and reported, as applicable, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Due to the inherent limitations of control systems, not all misstatements may be detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls could be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons or by collusion of two or more people.

Accordingly, as of December 31, 2025, the principal executive officer and principal financial officer of each of the Registrants concluded that such Registrant’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective. (Item 307 of Regulation S‑K).

All Registrants—Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

Each Registrant continually strives to improve its disclosure controls and procedures to enhance the quality of its financial reporting and to maintain dynamic systems that change as conditions warrant. However, there were no changes in internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a‑15(d) and 15d‑15(d)) that occurred during the fourth quarter of 2025 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, any of the Registrants' internal control over financial reporting.

All Registrants—Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

Management is required to assess and report on the effectiveness of its internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a‑15(f)) as of December 31, 2025. As a result of that assessment, management determined that there were no material weaknesses as of December 31, 2025 and therefore concluded that each Registrant’s internal control over financial reporting was effective. Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting is included in ITEM 8. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND SUPPLEMENTARY DATA.

Item 9B. OTHER INFORMATION
