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.
