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

Exelon

Executive Overview

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

Exelon’s consolidated financial information includes the results of its seven separate operating subsidiary registrants, ComEd, PECO, BGE, PHI, Pepco, DPL, and ACE, which, along with Exelon, are collectively referred to as the Registrants. The following combined Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations is separately filed by Exelon, ComEd, PECO, BGE, PHI, Pepco, DPL, and ACE. However, none of the Registrants makes any representation as to information related solely to any of the other Registrants.

Financial Results of Operations

GAAP Results of Operations. The following table sets forth Exelon's GAAP consolidated Net income attributable to common shareholders by Registrant for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 compared to the same period in 2024. For additional information regarding the financial results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 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 investment activities.

Three Months Ended September 30, 2025 Compared to Three Months Ended September 30, 2024. Net income attributable to common shareholders increased by $168 million and diluted earnings per average common share increased to $0.86 in 2025 from $0.70 in 2024 primarily due to:

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

  • Lower storm costs at PECO, due to deferral of extraordinary February and June storm costs;

  • Timing of income tax expenses at PECO;

  • Higher return on regulatory assets at ComEd;

  • Higher AFUDC at ComEd; and

  • Lower storm costs and credit loss expense at BGE.

The increases were partially offset by:

  • Timing of distribution earnings at ComEd;

  • Higher depreciation expense at PECO; and

  • Higher interest expense at PHI and Exelon Corporate.

Nine Months Ended September 30, 2025 Compared to Nine Months Ended September 30, 2024. Net income attributable to common shareholders increased by $361 million and diluted earnings per average common share increased to $2.15 in 2025 from $1.81 in 2024 primarily due to:

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

  • Timing of income tax expenses at PECO;

  • Less unfavorable weather at PECO;

  • Lower storm costs at PECO and BGE;

  • Higher return on regulatory assets at ComEd;

  • Timing of distribution earnings at ComEd; and

  • Higher AFUDC at ComEd.

The increases were partially offset by:

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

  • Customer Relief Fund contribution at Exelon Corporate;

  • Higher depreciation expense at PECO and PHI;

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

  • Lower impacts of the Maryland multi-year plan reconciliations at PHI; and

  • Lower AFUDC at PHI.

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

The following table provides a reconciliation between GAAP Net income attributable to common shareholders and Adjusted (non-GAAP) operating earnings for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 compared to the same period in 2024:

Note:

Amounts may not sum due to rounding.

Unless otherwise noted, the income tax impact of each reconciling item between GAAP Net income attributable to common shareholders 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%.

(a)Primarily represents severance and reorganization costs related to cost management.

(b)Reflects the adjustment to state deferred income taxes due to changes in forecasted apportionment.

(c)Represents the probable disallowance of certain capitalized costs.

Significant 2025 Transactions and Developments

Distribution Base Rate Case Proceedings

The Utility Registrants file base rate cases with their regulatory commissions seeking increases or decreases to their electric transmission and distribution, and gas distribution rates to recover their costs and earn a fair return on their investments. The outcomes of these regulatory proceedings impact the Utility Registrants’ current and future financial statements.

The following tables show the Utility Registrants’ completed and pending distribution base rate case proceedings in 2025. See Note 2 — Regulatory Matters of the Combined Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.

ComEd's FERC Audit

The Utility Registrants are subject to periodic audits and investigations by FERC. FERC’s Division of Audits and Accounting initiated a nonpublic audit of ComEd in April 2021 evaluating ComEd’s compliance with (1) approved terms, rates and conditions of its federally regulated service; (2) accounting requirements of the Uniform System of Accounts; (3) reporting requirements of the FERC Form 1; and (4) the requirements for record retention. The audit period extended back to January 1, 2017.

On July 27, 2023, FERC published a final audit report which included, among other things, findings and recommendations related to ComEd's methodology regarding the allocation of certain overhead costs to capitalized construction costs under FERC regulations, including a suggestion that refunds may be due to customers for amounts collected in previous years. ComEd responded to that report and on August 28, 2023, ComEd filed a formal notice of the issues it contested within the audit report. On December 14, 2023, FERC appointed a settlement judge for the contested overhead allocation findings and set the matter for a trial-type hearing. That hearing process was held in abeyance while a formal settlement process, which began in February 2024, took place.

On July 30, 2024, ComEd reached an agreement in principle on the contested overhead allocation finding. As a result of the settlement process, ComEd recorded a charge for the probable disallowance of $70 million of certain currently capitalized construction costs to operating expenses, which are not expected to be recovered in future rates. The existing loss estimate was reflected in Exelon and ComEd's financial statements as of December 31, 2024. ComEd and FERC staff jointly filed the settlement agreement with FERC for approval on February 11, 2025. The settlement was approved by FERC on April 4, 2025.

Other Key Business Drivers and Management Strategies

The following discussion of other key business drivers and management strategies includes current developments of previously disclosed matters and new issues arising during the period that may impact future financial statements. This section should be read in conjunction with ITEM 1. Business in the 2024 Form 10-K, ITEM 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations — Other Key Business Drivers and Management Strategies in the 2024 Form 10-K, and Note 11 — Commitments and Contingencies of the Combined Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in this report for additional information on various environmental matters.

Allocation of Income Taxes to Regulated Utilities (All Registrants)

In Q2 2024, the IRS issued a series of PLRs, to another taxpayer, providing guidance with respect to the application of the tax normalization rules to the allocation of consolidated tax benefits among the members of a consolidated group associated with NOLC for ratemaking purposes. The rulings provide that for ratemaking purposes the tax benefit of NOLC should be reflected on a separate company basis not taking into consideration the utilization of losses by other affiliates. A PLR issued to another taxpayer may not be relied on as precedent.

For the Utility Registrants, except for PECO, the methodology prescribed by the IRS in these PLRs could result in a material reduction of the regulatory liability established for EDITs arising from the TCJA corporate tax rate change that are being amortized and flowed through to customers as well as a reduction in the accumulated deferred income taxes included in rate base for ratemaking purposes of approximately $1.2 billion - $1.7 billion.

The Utility Registrants, except for PECO, filed PLR requests with the IRS confirming the treatment of the NOLC for ratemaking purposes. The Utility Registrants will record the impact, if any, upon receiving the PLR from the IRS.

Legislative and Regulatory Developments

Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act

On November 15, 2021, the $1.2 trillion IIJA was signed into law. IIJA provides for approximately $550 billion in new federal spending. Categories of funding include funding for a variety of infrastructure needs, including but not limited to: (1) power and grid reliability and resilience, (2) resilience for cybersecurity to address critical infrastructure needs, and (3) electric vehicle charging infrastructure for alternative fuel corridors. The Registrants continue to evaluate programs under the legislation and consider possible opportunities to apply for funding, either directly or in potential collaborations with state and/or local agencies and key stakeholders. The Registrants cannot predict the ultimate timing and success of securing funding from programs under IIJA.

On January 20, 2025, the Unleashing American Energy Order was issued as a Presidential Executive Order, which required an immediate pause in the disbursement of funds appropriated through the IRA and IIJA pending DOE review. In October 2025, Exelon, ComEd, and BGE received termination notifications from the DOE for their Renewable-Aware Distribution Operations, Deployment of a Community-Oriented Interoperable Control Framework for Aggregating and Integrating Distributed Energy Resources and Other Grid-Edge Devices, and Baltimore Interconnection Readiness & Deployment of Storage (BIRDS) awards, respectively. There are no material financial statement impacts as a result of the DOE terminations. Exelon, ComEd, and BGE will continue to evaluate whether to move forward with these projects.

Next Generation Energy Act (Exelon, BGE, PHI, Pepco, and DPL)

On May 20, 2025, the Governor of Maryland signed into law legislation that addresses several matters pertaining to electric and gas utilities, including affirming that the MDPSC may approve the use of multi-year rate plans that demonstrate customer benefits, among other things. It also prohibits utilities from filing after January 1, 2025, for the reconciliation of actuals costs and revenues to amounts approved within the multi-year plans. In the second quarter of 2025, BGE derecognized Regulatory assets of $10 million and Regulatory liabilities of $3 million for multi-year plan reconciliations that will no longer be filed. DPL also derecognized Regulatory liabilities of $0.4 million during the second quarter of 2025 for multi-year reconciliations yet to be filed. Multi-year plan reconciliations filed prior to January 1, 2025, remain lawful and will be resolved in their respective proceedings.

Summer Rate Mitigation (Exelon, BGE, PHI, Pepco, DPL, and ACE).

As part of the passing of the Next Generation Energy Act by the Maryland General Assembly, the MDPSC issued an order on June 26, 2025, to implement the Legislative Energy Relief Refund program under which bill credits will be distributed to residential customers based on their consumption of electricity supply that is subject to the renewable energy portfolio standard. On July 24, 2025, the MDPSC issued an order accepting BGE, Pepco, and DPL's proposal for the implementation of the program. As a result, BGE, Pepco, and DPL received approximately $49 million, $21 million, and $8 million, respectively, from the MDPSC on August 6, 2025. These amounts were used to reduce residential customer accounts receivable balances within the third quarter. An additional disbursement from the state of Maryland is expected in the first quarter of 2026, which will also be used to reduce residential customer receivables upon receipt.

In response to significant increases in electric supply costs, on April 23, 2025, the NJBPU issued an order directing the State's electric public utilities to file petitions proposing distribution side measures to mitigate residential customer bill impacts during summer months. As a result, on June 18, 2025, the NJBPU approved a stipulation of settlement for ACE to issue a bill credit of $30 per residential customer for the months of July and August 2025, which was deferred to a Regulatory asset. The amounts will subsequently be collected from September 2025 through February 2026 at a flat rate of $10 per residential customer. The bill credit and subsequent collections will not be subject to carrying costs.

In an effort to further reduce the burden of increased electric supply costs, on August 13, 2025, the NJBPU issued an order to establish the RUBC, which will be funded by the NJBPU. The program will provide a $50 bill credit per eligible residential customer for the months of September and October 2025. ACE received $51 million from the NJBPU on September 25, 2025, which was recognized as a Regulatory liability. ACE subsequently issued $25 million in bill credits to residential customers in September 2025 reducing the Regulatory liability to $26 million as of September 30, 2025. The remaining funds were disbursed in October 2025.

One Big Beautiful Bill Act (All Registrants)

On July 4, 2025, the OBBBA was signed into law. The bill permanently extends expiring tax benefits of the TCJA and provides additional tax relief for individuals and businesses while accelerating the phase-out and curtailment for renewable energy tax credits enacted by the IRA. The tax law changes enacted as part of OBBBA will not have a direct material impact on the Registrants’ financial statements.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Management of each of the Registrants makes a number of significant estimates, assumptions, and judgments in the preparation of its financial statements. As of September 30, 2025, the Registrants’ critical accounting policies and estimates had not changed significantly from December 31, 2024. See ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS — Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates in the 2024 Form 10-K for further information.

Three Months Ended September 30, 2025 Compared to Three Months Ended September 30, 2024. Net Income increased by $13 million as compared to the same period in 2024 primarily due to higher distribution and transmission rate base driven by incremental investments to serve customers, higher return on regulatory assets due to an increase in asset balances, and higher AFUDC, partially offset by the timing of distribution earnings.

Nine Months Ended September 30, 2025 Compared to Nine Months Ended September 30, 2024. Net income increased by $80 million as compared to the same period in 2024, primarily due to higher distribution and transmission rate base driven by incremental investments to serve customers, higher return on regulatory assets due to an increase in asset balances, higher AFUDC, and timing of distribution earnings, partially offset by lower transmission peak load.

Revenue Decoupling. The demand for electricity is affected by weather and customer usage. Operating revenues are not intended to be impacted by abnormal weather, usage per customer, or number of customers as a result of revenue decoupling mechanisms.

ComEd

Distribution Revenue. Starting in 2024, distribution revenues are under a MRP. The MRP requires an annual reconciliation of the revenue requirement in effect to the actual costs the ICC determines are prudently and reasonably incurred. Electric distribution revenue varies from year to year based upon fluctuations in the underlying costs (e.g., severe weather and storm restoration), investments being recovered, and allowed ROE. Electric distribution revenues increased for the three months ended September 30, 2025 as compared to the same period in 2024, primarily due to higher fully recoverable costs, higher rate base, and higher return on regulatory assets. Electric distribution revenues increased for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 as compared to the same period in 2024, primarily due to higher fully recoverable costs, higher rate base, higher return on regulatory assets, and differences in the timing of distribution earnings.

Transmission Revenue. Under a FERC-approved formula, transmission revenue varies from year to year based upon fluctuations in the underlying costs, capital investments being recovered, and the highest daily peak load, which is updated annually in January based on the prior calendar year. Transmission revenues increased for the three months ended September 30, 2025 compared to the same period in 2024, primarily due to higher fully recoverable costs and higher rate base. Transmission revenues decreased for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 as compared to the same period in 2024, primarily due to lower transmission peak load, partially offset by higher fully recoverable costs and the impacts of higher rate base.

Energy Efficiency Revenue. Energy efficiency revenues are under a performance-based formula rate, which requires an annual reconciliation of the revenue requirement in effect to the actual costs the ICC determines are prudently and reasonably incurred in a given year. Energy efficiency revenue varies from year to year based upon fluctuations in the underlying costs, investments being recovered, and allowed ROE. Energy efficiency revenues increased for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 as compared to the same periods in 2024, primarily due to increased regulatory asset amortization, which is fully recoverable.

Other Revenue primarily includes assistance provided to other utilities through mutual assistance programs. Other revenues decreased for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 as compared to the same periods in 2024, which primarily reflects decreased mutual assistance revenues associated with storm restoration efforts.

Regulatory Required Programs represents revenues collected under approved riders to recover costs incurred for regulatory programs such as recoveries under the credit loss expense tariff, environmental costs associated with MGP sites, ETAC, and costs related to electricity, ZEC, CMC, and REC procurement. ETAC is a retail customer surcharge collected and remitted to an Illinois state agency for programs to support clean energy jobs and training. The riders are designed to provide full and current cost recovery. The costs of these programs are included in Purchased power expense, Operating and maintenance expense, Depreciation and amortization expense, and Taxes other than income taxes. Customers have the choice to purchase electricity from competitive electric generation suppliers. Customer choice programs do not impact the volume of deliveries as ComEd remains the distribution service provider for all customers and charges a regulated rate for distribution service, which is recorded in Operating revenues. For customers that choose to purchase electric generation from competitive suppliers, ComEd either acts as the billing agent or the competitive supplier separately bills its own customers, and therefore does not record Operating revenues or Purchased power expense related to the electricity. For customers that choose to purchase electric generation from ComEd, ComEd is permitted to recover the electricity, ZEC, CMC, and REC procurement costs without mark-up and therefore records equal and offsetting amounts in Operating revenues and Purchased power expense related to the electricity, ZECs, CMCs, and RECs.

See Note 4 — Segment Information of the Combined Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for the presentation of ComEd's revenue disaggregation.

The decrease in Purchased power expense of $29 million and $460 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2024 is offset in Operating revenues as part of regulatory required programs.

Interest expense, net increased $7 million and $21 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2024, primarily due to an increase in outstanding debt.

Other, net increased $7 million and $20 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2024, primarily due to higher AFUDC equity.

Effective income tax rat****es were 18.2% and 9.1% for the three months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, and 18.2% and 9.4% for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. See Note 6 — Income Taxes of the Combined Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information regarding the components of the effective income tax rates.

Three Months Ended September 30, 2025 Compared to Three Months Ended September 30, 2024. Net income increased by $133 million due to an increase in revenue as a result of electric and gas distribution rates, decrease in storm costs due to deferral of extraordinary February and June storm costs in the third quarter of 2025, and tax repairs deduction related to storms, some of which is timing, partially offset by an increase in depreciation expense.

Weather. The demand for electricity and natural gas is affected by weather conditions. With respect to the electric business, very warm weather in summer months and, with respect to the electric and natural gas businesses, very cold weather in winter months are referred to as “favorable weather conditions” because these weather conditions result in increased deliveries of electricity and natural gas. Conversely, mild weather reduces

demand. During the three months ended September 30, 2025 compared to the same period in 2024, Operating revenues related to weather remained relatively consistent. During the nine months ended September 30, 2025 compared to the same period in 2024, Operating revenues related to weather increased due to less unfavorable weather conditions in PECO's service territory.

Heating and cooling degree-days are quantitative indices that reflect the demand for energy needed to heat or cool a home or business. Normal weather is determined based on historical average heating and cooling degree-days for a 30-year period in PECO's service territory. The changes in heating and cooling degree-days in PECO’s service territory for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 compared to the same period in 2024 and normal weather consisted of the following:

Pricing for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 compared to the same period in 2024 increased primarily due to electric and gas distribution rates charged to customers.

Transmission Revenue. Under a FERC-approved formula, transmission revenue varies from year to year based upon fluctuations in the underlying costs and capital investments being recovered. Transmission revenue for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 compared to the same period in 2024 remained relatively consistent.

Other Revenue primarily includes revenue related to late payment charges. Other revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2025 compared to the same period in 2024 remained relatively consistent. Other revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 compared to the same period in 2024 increased primarily due to revenue related to late payment charges.

Regulatory Required Programs represent revenues collected under approved riders to recover costs incurred for regulatory programs such as energy efficiency, PGC, TSC, and the GSA. The riders are designed to provide full and current cost recovery, and in some cases, a return. The costs of these programs are included in Purchased power and fuel expense, Operating and maintenance expense, Depreciation and amortization expense, and Income taxes. Customers have the choice to purchase electricity and natural gas from competitive electric generation and natural gas suppliers. Customer choice programs do not impact the volume of deliveries as PECO remains the distribution service provider for all customers and charges a regulated rate for distribution service, which is recorded in Operating revenues. For customers that choose to purchase electric generation or natural gas from competitive suppliers, PECO either acts as the billing agent or the competitive supplier separately bills its own customers and therefore PECO does not record Operating revenues or Purchased power and fuel expense related to the electricity and/or natural gas. For customers that choose to purchase electric generation or natural gas from PECO, PECO is permitted to recover the electricity, natural gas, and REC procurement costs without mark-up and therefore records equal and offsetting amounts in Operating revenues and Purchased power and fuel expense related to the electricity, natural gas, and RECs.

See Note 4 — Segment Information of the Combined Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for the presentation of PECO's revenue disaggregation.

Revenue Decoupling. The demand for electricity is affected by weather and customer usage. However, Operating revenues from electric distribution in both Maryland and the District of Columbia are not intended to be impacted by abnormal weather or usage per customer as a result of a BSA that provides for a fixed distribution charge per customer class in the District of Columbia and per customer by customer class in Maryland. Therefore, changes in the number of customers only impacts Operating revenues in Maryland.

Revenue Decoupling. The demand for electricity is affected by weather and customer usage. However, Operating revenues from electric distribution in Maryland are not impacted by abnormal weather or usage per customer as a result of a BSA that provides for a fixed distribution charge per customer by customer class. While Operating revenues from electric distribution customers in Maryland are not intended to be impacted by abnormal weather or usage per customer, they are impacted by changes in the number of customers.

Weather. The demand for electricity and natural gas in Delaware is affected by weather conditions. With respect to the electric business, very warm weather in summer months and, with respect to the electric and natural gas businesses, very cold weather in winter months are referred to as "favorable weather conditions” because these weather conditions result in increased deliveries of electricity and natural gas. Conversely, mild weather reduces

DPL

demand. During the three months ended September 30, 2025 compared to the same period in 2024, Operating revenues related to weather remained relatively consistent. During the nine months ended September 30, 2025 compared to the same period in 2024, Operating revenues related to weather increased due to favorable weather conditions in DPL's Delaware electric and natural gas service territories.

Heating and cooling degree days are quantitative indices that reflect the demand for energy needed to heat or cool a home or business. Normal weather is determined based on historical average heating and cooling degree days for a 20-year period in DPL's Delaware electric service territory and a 30-year period in DPL's Delaware natural gas service territory. The changes in heating and cooling degree days in DPL's Delaware service territory for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, compared to same periods in 2024 and normal weather consisted of the following:

Distribution Revenue increased for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 compared to the same periods in 2024 primarily due to Delaware electric DSIC rates and natural gas rates that became effective in 2025.

Transmission Revenue. Under a FERC-approved formula, transmission revenue varies from year to year based upon fluctuations in the underlying costs and capital investments being recovered. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 compared to the same periods in 2024, transmission revenue increased due to increases in underlying costs and capital investments.

Other Revenue includes rental revenue, service connection fees, and mutual assistance revenues.

Regulatory Required Programs represent revenues collected under approved riders to recover costs incurred for regulatory programs such as energy efficiency programs, DE Renewable Portfolio Standards, SOS procurement and administrative costs, and GCR costs. The riders are designed to provide full and current cost recovery as well as a return in certain instances. The costs of these programs are included in Purchased power and fuel expense, Operating and maintenance expense, Depreciation and amortization expense, and Taxes other than income taxes. All customers have the choice to purchase electricity from competitive electric generation suppliers; however, only certain commercial and industrial customers have the choice to purchase natural gas from competitive natural gas suppliers. Customer choice programs do not impact the volume of

DPL

deliveries as DPL remains the distribution service provider for all customers and charges a regulated rate for distribution service, which is recorded in Operating revenues. For customers that choose to purchase electric generation or natural gas from competitive suppliers, DPL either acts as the billing agent or the competitive supplier separately bills its own customers, and therefore does not record Operating revenues or Purchased power and fuel expense related to the electricity and/or natural gas. For customers that choose to purchase electric generation or natural gas from DPL, DPL is permitted to recover the electricity, natural gas, and REC procurement costs from customers and therefore records the amounts related to the electricity, natural gas, and RECs in Operating revenues and Purchased power and fuel expense. DPL recovers electricity and REC procurement costs from customers with a slight mark-up, and natural gas costs without mark-up.

See Note 4 — Segment Information of the Combined Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for the presentation of DPL's revenue disaggregation.

The increase of $16 million and $64 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, respectively, compared to the same period in 2024 in Purchased power and fuel expense is fully offset in Operating revenues as part of regulatory required programs.

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

Liquidity and Capital Resources (All Registrants)

All results included throughout the liquidity and capital resources section are presented on a GAAP basis.

The Registrants’ operating and capital expenditures requirements are provided by internally generated cash flows from operations, as well as funds from external sources in the capital markets and through bank borrowings. The Registrants’ businesses are capital intensive and require considerable capital resources. Each of the Registrants annually evaluates its financing plan, dividend practices, and credit line sizing, focusing on maintaining its investment grade ratings while meeting its cash needs to fund capital requirements, including construction expenditures, retire debt, pay dividends, and fund pension and OPEB obligations. The Registrants spend a significant amount of cash on capital improvements and construction projects that have a long-term return on investment. Additionally, the Utility Registrants operate in rate-regulated environments in which the amount of new investment recovery may be delayed or limited and where such recovery takes place over an extended period of time. Each Registrant’s access to external financing on reasonable terms depends on its credit ratings and current overall capital market business conditions, including that of the utility industry in general. If these conditions deteriorate to the extent that the Registrants no longer have access to the capital markets at reasonable terms, the Registrants have access to credit facilities with aggregate bank commitments of $4.0 billion. The Registrants utilize their credit facilities to support their commercial paper programs, provide for other short-term borrowings, and to issue letters of credit. See the “Credit Matters and Cash Requirements” section below for additional information. The Registrants expect cash flows to be sufficient to meet operating expenses, financing costs, and capital expenditure requirements. See Note 9 — Debt and Credit Agreements of the Combined Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information on the Registrants’ debt and credit agreements.

Cash Flows from Operating Activities

The Utility Registrants' cash flows from operating activities primarily result from the transmission and distribution of electricity and, in the case of PECO, BGE, and DPL, gas distribution services. The Utility Registrants' distribution services are provided to an established and diverse base of retail customers. The Utility Registrants' future cash flows may be affected by the economy, weather conditions, future legislative initiatives, future regulatory proceedings with respect to their rates or operations, and their ability to achieve operating cost reductions. Additionally, ComEd is required to purchase CMCs from participating nuclear-powered generating facilities for a five-year period that began in June 2022, and all of its costs of doing so will be recovered through a rider. The price to be paid for each CMC is established through a competitive bidding process. ComEd will provide net payments to, or collect net payments from, customers for the difference between customer credits issued and the credit to be received from the participating nuclear-powered generating facilities. ComEd’s cash flows are affected by the establishment of CMC prices and the timing of recovering costs through the CMC regulatory asset.

See Note 3 — Regulatory Matters of the 2024 Form 10-K and Notes 2 — Regulatory Matters and 11 — Commitments and Contingencies of the Combined Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information on regulatory and legal proceedings and proposed legislation.

The following table provides a summary of the change in cash flows from operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024 by Registrant:

Changes in the Registrants' cash flows from operations were generally consistent with changes in each Registrant’s respective results of operations, as adjusted by changes in working capital in the normal course of business, except as discussed below. Significant operating cash flow impacts for the Registrants for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024 were as follows:

  • See Note 14 — Supplemental Financial Information of the Combined Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements and the Registrants’ Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for additional information on non-cash operating activities.

  • Changes in collateral depended upon whether the Registrant was in a net mark-to-market liability or asset position, and collateral may have been required to be posted with or collected from its counterparties. In addition, the collateral posting and collection requirements differed depending on whether the transactions were on an exchange or in the over-the-counter markets. Changes in collateral for the Registrants are dependent upon the credit exposure of procurement contracts that may require suppliers to post collateral. The amount of cash collateral received from external counterparties remained relatively consistent comparing the nine months ended September 30, 2025 to the nine months ended September 30, 2024. See Note 8 — Derivative Financial Instruments for additional information.

  • See Note 6 — Income Taxes of the Combined Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements and the Registrants' Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for additional information on income taxes.

  • Changes in Pension and non-pension postretirement benefit contributions relates to Exelon's increased contributions to the Qualified Plans during the nine months ended September 30, 2025. See Note 14 — Retirement Benefits of the 2024 Form 10-K for additional information.

  • Changes in regulatory assets and liabilities, net, are due to the timing of cash payments for costs recoverable, or cash receipts for costs recovered, under our regulatory mechanisms differing from the recovery period of those costs. Included within the changes is energy efficiency spend for ComEd of $311 million and $266 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. Also included within the changes is energy efficiency and demand response programs spend for BGE, Pepco, DPL and ACE of $64 million, $27 million, $11 million, and $37 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and $94 million, $34 million, $14 million, and $24 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, respectively. PECO had no energy efficiency and demand response programs spend recorded to the regulatory asset for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024. See Note 2 — Regulatory Matters of the Combined Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.

  • Changes in working capital and other assets and liabilities for the Utility Registrants and Exelon Corporate totaled $215 million and $385 million, respectively. The change in working capital and other noncurrent assets and liabilities for Exelon Corporate and the Utility Registrants is dependent upon the normal course of operations for all Registrants. For ComEd, it is also dependent upon whether the participating nuclear-powered generating facilities are owed money from ComEd as a result of the established pricing for CMCs. For the nine months ended September 30, 2025, the established pricing has resulted in both a receivable from, and payable to, nuclear-powered generating facilities. The change in receivable from nuclear-powered generating facilities, and the change in payable to nuclear-powered generating facilities, are reflected as a change in accounts receivable and a change in accounts payable and accrued expenses, respectively, within the cash flows from operations.

Cash Flows from Investing Activities

Significant investing cash flow impacts for the Registrants for nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024 were as follows:

  • Changes in capital expenditures are primarily due to the timing of cash expenditures for capital projects. See the "Credit Matters and Cash Requirements" section below for additional information on projected capital expenditure spending for the Utility Registrants.

  • Changes in intercompany money pool are driven by short-term borrowing needs. Refer to more information regarding the intercompany money pool below.

Significant financing cash flow impacts for the Registrants for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024 were as follows:

  • Changes in short-term borrowings, net**, is driven by repayments on and issuances of notes due in less than 365 days. See Note 9 — Debt and Credit Agreements of the Combined Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information on short-term borrowings for the Registrants.

  • Long-term debt, net**, varies due to debt issuances and redemptions each year. See Note 9 — Debt and Credit Agreements of the Combined Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information on debt issuances. Refer to the "Debt" section below for additional information.

  • Changes in intercompany money pool** are driven by short-term borrowing needs. Refer below for more information regarding the intercompany money pool.

  • Issuance of common stock** relates to issuances of Exelon common stock during the first quarter of 2025. See Note 12 — Shareholders' Equity of the Combined Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.

  • Exelon’s ability to pay dividends on its common stock depends on the receipt of dividends paid by its operating subsidiaries. The payments of dividends to Exelon by its subsidiaries in turn depend on their results of operations and cash flows and other items affecting retained earnings. See Note 18 — Commitments and Contingencies of the 2024 Form 10-K for additional information on dividend restrictions. See below for quarterly dividends declared.

Credit Matters and Cash Requirements

The Registrants fund liquidity needs for capital investment, working capital, energy hedging, and other financial commitments through cash flows from continuing operations, public debt offerings, commercial paper markets, and large, diversified credit facilities. The credit facilities include $4.0 billion in aggregate total commitments of which $3.4 billion was available to support additional commercial paper as of September 30, 2025, and of which

no financial institution has more than 6.2% of the aggregate commitments for the Registrants. The Registrants had access to the commercial paper markets and had availability under their revolving credit facilities during the nine months ended September 30, 2025 to fund their short-term liquidity needs, when necessary. Exelon Corporate and the Utility Registrants each have a 5-year revolving credit facility. See Note 9 — Debt and Credit Agreements of the Combined Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information. The Registrants routinely review the sufficiency of their liquidity position, including appropriate sizing of credit facility commitments, by performing various stress test scenarios, such as commodity price movements, increases in margin-related transactions, changes in hedging levels, and the impacts of hypothetical credit downgrades. The Registrants have continued to closely monitor events in the financial markets and the financial institutions associated with the credit facilities, including monitoring credit ratings and outlooks, credit default swap levels, capital raising, and merger activity. See PART I. ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS of the 2024 Form 10-K for additional information regarding the effects of uncertainty in the capital and credit markets.

The Registrants believe their cash flows from operating activities, access to credit markets, and their credit facilities provide sufficient liquidity to support the estimated future cash requirements.

At-the-Market Programs

On August 4, 2022, Exelon executed an equity distribution agreement (“2022 Equity Distribution Agreement”), with certain sales agents and forward sellers and certain forward purchasers, establishing an ATM equity distribution program under which it may offer and sell shares of its Common stock, having an aggregate gross sales price of up to $1 billion through August 3, 2025. On May 2, 2025, Exelon executed an additional equity distribution agreement ("2025 Equity Distribution Agreement" and, together with the August 4, 2022 Equity Distribution Agreement, "Equity Distribution Agreements"), with certain sales agents and forward sellers and certain forward purchasers, establishing an ATM equity distribution program which it may offer and sell shares of its Common stock, having an aggregate gross sales price of up to $2.5 billion through May 2, 2028. The 2025 Equity Distribution Agreement replaced the 2022 Equity Distribution Agreement. Exelon has no obligation to offer or sell any shares of Common stock under the 2025 Equity Distribution Agreement and may, at any time, suspend or terminate offers and sales under the 2025 Equity Distribution Agreement.

During the first quarter of 2025, Exelon issued approximately 4.0 million shares of Common stock at an average net price of $42.98 per share. The net proceeds from the issuance were $173 million, which were used for general corporate purposes.

In addition, in the first quarter of 2025, Exelon entered into forward sale agreements for 5.7 million shares of Common stock, at a weighted-average net forward price of $43.24 per share. The forward sale agreements require Exelon to, at its election prior to December 15, 2025, either (i) physically settle the transactions by issuing shares of its Common stock to the forward counterparties in exchange for net proceeds at the then-applicable forward sale price specified by the agreements or (ii) net settle the transactions in whole or in part through the delivery to the forward counterparties or receipt from the forward counterparties of cash or shares in accordance with the provisions of the agreements.

In the second quarter of 2025, Exelon entered into forward sale agreements for 6.2 million shares, and 3.6 million shares of Common stock, at a weighted-average net forward price of $43.51, and $43.17 per share, respectively. The forward sale agreements require Exelon to, at its election prior to December 15, 2025 and November 16, 2026, respectively, either (i) physically settle the transactions by issuing shares of its Common stock to the forward counterparties in exchange for net proceeds at the then-applicable forward sale price specified by the agreements or (ii) net settle the transactions in whole or in part through the delivery to the forward counterparties or receipt from the forward counterparties of cash or shares in accordance with the provisions of the agreements.

In the third quarter of 2025, Exelon entered into forward sale agreements for 11.5 million shares at a weighted-average net forward price of $43.73 per share. The forward sale agreements require Exelon to, at its election prior to December 15, 2026 either (i) physically settle the transactions by issuing shares of its Common stock to the forward counterparties in exchange for net proceeds at the then-applicable forward sale price specified by the agreements or (ii) net settle the transactions in whole or in part through the delivery to the forward counterparties or receipt from the forward counterparties of cash or shares in accordance with the provisions of the agreements.

No amounts have been or will be recorded on Exelon's balance sheet with respect to the equity offerings until the equity forward sale agreements have been settled. Each initial forward sale price is subject to adjustment on a

daily basis based on a floating interest rate factor and will decrease by other fixed amounts specified in the agreements. Until settlement of the equity forward, earnings per share dilution resulting from the agreement, if any, will be determined under the treasury stock method. For the nine months ended September 30, 2025, approximately 26.7 million shares under the forward sale agreements were not included in the calculation of diluted earnings per share because their effect would have been antidilutive.

Inclusive of the impact of the forward sale agreements, $1.6 billion of Common stock remained available for sale pursuant to the ATM program as of September 30, 2025.

Retirement Benefits

Management considers various factors when making pension funding decisions, including actuarially determined minimum contribution requirements under ERISA, contributions required to avoid benefit restrictions and at-risk status as defined by the Pension Protection Act of 2006 (the Act), management of the pension obligation, and regulatory implications. The Act requires the attainment of certain funding levels to avoid benefit restrictions (such as an inability to pay lump sums or to accrue benefits prospectively), and at-risk status (which triggers higher minimum contribution requirements and participant notification). The projected contributions reflect a funding strategy to make annual contributions with the objective of achieving 100% funded status on an ABO basis over time. This funding strategy helps minimize volatility of future period required pension contributions.

Exelon’s estimated annual qualified pension contributions will be $275 million in 2025. Unlike the qualified pension plans, Exelon’s non-qualified pension plans are not funded, given that they are not subject to statutory minimum contribution requirements.

While OPEB plans are also not subject to statutory minimum contribution requirements, Exelon does fund certain of its plans. For Exelon's funded OPEB plans, contributions generally equal accounting costs, however, Exelon’s management has historically considered several factors in determining the level of contributions to its OPEB plans, including liabilities management, levels of benefit claims paid, and regulatory implications (amounts deemed prudent to meet regulatory expectations and best assure continued rate recovery).

To the extent interest rates decline significantly or the pension and OPEB plans earn less than the expected asset returns, annual pension contribution requirements in future years could increase. Conversely, to the extent interest rates increase significantly or the pension and OPEB plans earn greater than the expected asset returns, annual pension and OPEB contribution requirements in future years could decrease. Additionally, expected contributions could change if Exelon changes its pension or OPEB funding strategy.

See Note 14 — Retirement Benefits of the Combined Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements of the 2024 Form 10-K for additional information on pension and OPEB contributions.

Credit Facilities

Exelon Corporate, ComEd, and BGE meet their short-term liquidity requirements primarily through the issuance of commercial paper. PECO meets its short-term liquidity requirements primarily through the issuance of commercial paper and borrowings from the Exelon intercompany money pool. Pepco, DPL, and ACE meet their short-term liquidity requirements primarily through the issuance of commercial paper and borrowings from the PHI intercompany money pool. PHI Corporate meets its short-term liquidity requirements primarily through the issuance of short-term notes and the Exelon intercompany money pool. The Registrants may use their respective credit facilities for general corporate purposes, including meeting short-term funding requirements and the issuance of letters of credit.

See Note 9 — Debt and Credit Agreements of the Combined Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information on the Registrants’ credit facilities and short term borrowing activity.

Security Ratings

The Registrants’ access to the capital markets, including the commercial paper market, and their respective financing costs in those markets, may depend on the securities ratings of the entity that is accessing the capital markets.

The Registrants’ borrowings are not subject to default or prepayment as a result of a downgrading of securities, although such a downgrading of a Registrant’s securities could increase fees and interest charges under that Registrant’s credit agreements.

As part of the normal course of business, the Registrants enter into contracts that contain express provisions or otherwise permit the Registrants and their counterparties to demand adequate assurance of future performance when there are reasonable grounds for doing so. In accordance with the contracts and applicable contracts law, if the Registrants are downgraded by a credit rating agency, it is possible that a counterparty would attempt to rely on such a downgrade as a basis for making a demand for adequate assurance of future performance, which could include the posting of collateral. See Note 8 — Derivative Financial Instruments of the Combined Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information on collateral provisions.

The credit ratings for ComEd, BGE, PHI, Pepco, DPL, and ACE did not change for the nine months ended September 30, 2025. On January 17, 2025, Fitch Ratings affirmed and withdrew the long-term and short-term issuer default ratings along with individual securities ratings of the Registrants for commercial reasons. On February 7, 2025, S&P raised its long-term issuer credit rating for Exelon and PECO from 'BBB+' to 'A-', and raised its rating on Exelon’s senior unsecured debt from ‘BBB’ to 'BBB+'. S&P also affirmed its short-term issuer and commercial paper rating for Exelon and PECO of 'A-2'.

Intercompany Money Pool

To provide an additional short-term borrowing option that will generally be more favorable to the borrowing participants than the cost of external financing, both Exelon and PHI operate an intercompany money pool. Maximum amounts contributed to and borrowed from the money pool by participant and the net contribution or borrowing as of September 30, 2025, are presented in the following table:

Shelf Registration Statements

On February 21, 2024, PECO and BGE, as co-registrants, filed with the SEC a standalone automatically effective shelf registration statement, unlimited in amount, which can be used to issue PECO and BGE debt securities through the expiration date of February 20, 2027. On February 13, 2025, as most recently amended on March 27, 2025, Exelon Corporation and ComEd, as co-registrants filed a shelf registration statement with the SEC ("Exelon and ComEd Shelf Registration") for authorization of up to $12,575 million in additional security registration, to be used to issue Exelon Corporate debt securities and equity securities, as well as ComEd debt securities. The Exelon and ComEd Shelf Registration was declared effective by the SEC on April 8, 2025, and is effective through April 8, 2028. The ability of Exelon Corporation, ComEd, PECO and BGE to sell securities off their corresponding registration Statements, or to access the private placement markets, will depend on a number of factors at the time of the proposed sale, including other required regulatory approvals, as applicable, the current financial condition of the Registrant, its securities ratings and market conditions.

Pepco, DPL and ACE periodically issue securities through the private placement markets. Pepco, DPL and ACE's ability to access the private placement markets will depend on a number of factors at the time of the proposed sale, including other required regulatory approvals, as applicable, current financial condition, securities ratings and market conditions.
