Exelon Reports Third Quarter Earnings of $1.25 Per Diluted Share
Chicago (October 23, 2001) Exelon Corporation today announced reported earnings
of $403 million or $1.25 per diluted share for the third quarter of 2001. The
reported $1.25 per diluted share exceeds the high end of our recent guidance due
to higher estimates for unbilled revenue than were used in developing the
guidance. Reported results include three non-recurring items that lowered
reported earnings by $0.16 per share. Exelon's reported earnings for the third
quarter of 2000 were $232 million or $1.35 per diluted share, which represent
the results of PECO Energy and do not reflect the effects of the October 20,
2000 merger with Unicom Corporation. On a pro forma basis assuming the merger of
PECO Energy and Unicom Corporation occurred on January 1, 2000, third quarter
2000 earnings were $1.27 per diluted share.
On September 27, Exelon lowered its 2001 earnings guidance to a range of $4.30
to $4.45 per diluted share down from the original $4.50. This guidance, which
remains our best judgment, represents reported earnings without adjustment for
any one-time items incurred during the year. The forecasted earnings range
represents an 11% to 15% increase over pro forma earnings for the year 2000 of
$3.86.
The company is in the process of finalizing its budget and earnings models for
2002. Our current outlook for 2002 is a range of $4.45 to $4.85 per diluted
share, which reflects the national economic slowdown and wholesale price
volatility.
Third Quarter Highlights:
Factors influencing third quarter results are as follows:
Page 2
o Energy sales by Exelon Generation totaled 54,342 GWhs, a 7% increase over
pro forma third quarter 2000 energy sales of 50,733 GWhs. Approximately 64%
of third quarter 2001 energy sales were to affiliates.
o Lower energy-market prices adversely affected Exelon Generation's Power
Team performance in the third quarter compared with expectations. Wholesale
margins realized were lower than originally incorporated in the third
quarter earnings outlook.
o Exelon Generation's nuclear fleet continues to operate above target with:
o 95.0% nuclear capacity factor for the third quarter
o 95.1% year-to-date through September 30
o Exelon Generation's fossil operations continue their strong performance
with:
o 98% on time delivery
o 94.3% dispatch availability
o ComEd continues to improve the reliability and efficiency of its delivery
operations in a summer in which two new all-time peaks were set. On August
9, ComEd set a new all-time peak load of 21,574 MW.
Non-recurring Items: Third quarter 2001 reported earnings of $1.25 per diluted
share include the effects of the following non-recurring charges:
o Employee severance costs of $31 million ($0.06 per share) related to
approximately 500 additional positions identified to be eliminated as a
result of the 2000 merger of PECO Energy and Unicom.
o A $36 million ($0.07 per share) writedown of its investment in Corvis, a
telecommunications equipment manufacturer.
o A $14 million ($0.03 per share) increase in reserves in conjunction with a
tentative settlement of litigation involving PECO Energy's decision not to
proceed with the proposed purchase of a minority interest in the River Bend
generating facility. The settlement should be finalized shortly.
Exelon's Co-CEO and Chairman, Corbin A. McNeill Jr., said that, "Demand and
prices did not materialize to the extent we planned this summer, and we learned
a good deal about how to prepare for next year. The market decline was
especially frustrating given the very strong operating performance in
Generation. Since the end of June, Exelon Nuclear completed another power uprate
project, two refuelings, and remained on track towards its all-in cost goal of 2
cents/kWh. In early August, during the one summer heat wave, every one of our
fossil plants ran flat out and was available for dispatch over 94% of the time."
John W. Rowe, Co-CEO and President, said, "In the first real test of the
infrastructure improvements we've been making for the past two years, the ComEd
distribution system performed superbly. The turn-around in performance is clear,
real and we intend to make it permanent. In the long run, it's our ability to
generate low-cost power and deliver it reliably that will be the basis for
Exelon's ability to deliver shareholder value."

CORPORATE ISSUES
Third quarter earnings reflect goodwill amortization of $37 million or $0.12 per
share. Goodwill amortization is expected to total $151 million, or $0.47 per
share, in 2001. Consistent with the recently issued accounting standard for
goodwill, Exelon expects to discontinue amortization of goodwill, effective
January 1, 2002. Goodwill will be reviewed for impairment and possible
adjustment.
Merger-related synergies continue to be realized and Exelon expects to achieve
its target of $148 million this year.
BUSINESS UNIT RESULTS
Performance of Exelon's business segments--Energy Delivery, Generation and
Enterprises--is reported on the basis of earnings before interest and income
taxes (EBIT). Exelon's EBIT for the third quarter of 2001 was $931 million
compared to pro forma EBIT of $920 million in the third quarter of 2000.
Exelon Energy Delivery consists of the retail electricity transmission and
distribution operations of ComEd and PECO Energy and the natural gas
distribution business of PECO Energy. Energy Delivery's EBIT of $704 million in
the third quarter of 2001 compares to pro forma EBIT of $685 million in the
prior-year period. The segment benefited from increased deliveries to
residential customers during the quarter as a result of warmer summer weather
compared to last year, but experienced declines in deliveries to large
commercial and industrial customers as a result of a slowing economy.
Exelon Generation consists of Exelon's electric generation operations and power
marketing and trading functions. Generation's third quarter 2001 EBIT was $278
million, compared to pro forma EBIT of $300 million last year. Generation
experienced increased sales volumes and continued strong nuclear and fossil
station performance, but overall margins were adversely affected by lower
wholesale electricity market prices. Generation's third quarter 2001 EBIT
includes a $14 million charge for litigation settlement costs.
Exelon Enterprises consists of competitive retail energy sales, energy and
infrastructure services, communications and related investments. Enterprises'
EBIT for the third quarter of 2001 was a loss of $44 million compared to third
quarter 2000 pro forma loss of $67 million. The third quarter EBIT improvement
reflects improved margins and a reduction of operating expenses at Exelon
Energy. The third quarter 2001 results include the $36 million writedown of an
investment in Corvis.

-As part of the merger of Unicom and PECO, under purchase accounting,
all Unicom assets were recorded at their fair value as of the date of the
merger. Unicom's Corvis shares (535,000 shares in one investment limited
partnership and 337,000 shares in the second) were re-valued at $32/share (up
from the actual cash cost of between $0.35--$1.15/share).
-The cost basis of PECO's 535,000 Corvis shares was unchanged by the
merger. Post-merger, PECO continued to carry the investment at its actual cash
cost of $1.15/share.
-When Exelon received 1,070,000 shares in February 2001, the cost basis
was adjusted to Corvis' share price on the date of distribution: $26/share,
resulting in a $10M non-cash gain in the first quarter.
-As the result of an impairment analysis, Exelon determined that its
investment in Corvis should be marked-down to $2/share, resulting in a $36M
non-cash loss in the third quarter.

been pumped from one reservoir to another reservoir located at a higher
elevation. During peak demand periods, the water is released allowing it to
flow downhill through a hydraulic turbine, which drives a generator.

megawatts and ranges from 8,000 to 24,000. Also shown on the graph are the
values for the 80/20 Peak Hour Load and the Average Load. Immediately to the
right of the line graph, and scaled to match the vertical axis of the line
graph, is a stacked column which shows the generation available to match the
load. The bottom part of the column shows 15,900 MW of baseload Generation.
Above that is an area representing 5,770 MW of Dispatchable Generation. Above
the stacked columns is text that reads "21,670 MW* Total Generation"; where the
asterisk refers to a footnote: "Net of 7% EFOR, and another asterisk indicates

Restructuring Settlement
This summary of the major elements of the 1998 settlement reflects amendments
made in 2000 following announcement of the PECO Unicom merger.
o Recovery of $5.26 billion of stranded costs over a 12-year transition
period beginning January 1, 1999 and ending December 31, 2010, with a
return of 10.75 percent.
o Rate caps will vary over the transition period. (See Table on Page 2.)
o On January 1, 1999 PECO unbundled rates into three components:
- a transmission and distribution rate of 2.98 cents per kWh.
- a competitive transition charge (CTC) designed to recover the $5.26
billion of stranded costs. Revenue collected through the CTC will be
reconciled annually based on actual sales.
- a shopping credit initially set at 4.46 cents per kWh on a system-wide
basis.
o Authorization for PECO to securitize up to $5 billion of stranded costs.
(PECO has securitized fully to its $5B limit.) The intangible transition
charges associated with transition bonds terminate no later than December
31, 2010.
o Flexible pricing, within a specified range, for residential default
customers.
o Customer choice phased in between January 1, 1999 and January 2, 2000.
o Authorization for PECO to transfer its generation assets to a separate
entity.
o Ability of electric generation suppliers (EGS) to provide metering and
billing services to retail customers who have direct access.
o As required by law, on January 1, 2001 the provider of default service for
20 percent of residential customers was bid competitively.
o If 35 percent and 50 percent of all customers are not shopping by 2001 and
2003, respectively, a number of customers sufficient to equal those trigger
points shall be randomly selected and assigned to licensed suppliers by a
PUC-determined process.
o PLR Requirement: PECO is PLR through 2010.

facilities to a separate corporate entity. The generating facilities will
be valued at book value at the time of the transfer.
o Twenty percent of residential customers will be assigned to a provider of
last resort (PLR), other than PECO, on January 1, 2001. The PLR will be
selected on the basis of a PUC-approved energy and capacity market price
bidding process. PECO-affiliated suppliers will be prohibited from bidding
for this block of customers.
o As of January 1, 2001, PECO (as PLR) will price its service to residential
customers within a specified range. A single rate will be established for
each rate schedule.

ComEd Restructuring Legislation
Enacted Dec. 1997
Rate Reductions
o Residential - 15% effective 1/1/98 ~ $400 million
5% effective 10/1/2001 ~ $100 million
Direct Access Phase-In Schedule
o Residential
5/1/2002 100% of residential customers have supplier choice.
o Commercial and Industrial, Governmental
All C&I customers had supplier choice effective 12/31/00.
Transition Cost Recovery Provisions
1) Bundled rates are frozen through 2004 at 1996 levels after taking the
residential rate reductions described above.
2) Unbundled delivery service rates apply to customers who choose an alternate
supplier or the market rate for energy (ComEd PPO).
o Utilities recover transition costs via a Competitive Transition Charge
(CTC) from customers who select an alternate supplier. The CTC will apply
through 2006 for all classes. The CTC will be calculated based on the
following formula:
CTC = Tariff/contract revenues minus
Delivery service revenue minus
Market value of electricity minus
Mitigation factor
(See current and proposed delivery rate schedules attached.)
Mitigation Factor
The mitigation factor is a credit averaging 0.5 cents/kWh offered by the utility
to delivery service only customers.
o The mitigation factor for commercial and industrial customers is:
10/1/99-12/31/02 0.5 cents per kWh or 8%
2003-2004 0.5 cents per kWh or 10%
2005 0.6 cents per kWh or 11%
2006 0.9 cents per kWh or 12%
o The mitigation factor for residential customers is calculated as a
percentage of base rates after the rate reductions are in effect. The
applicable percentages are as follows:
2002 6% of base rates after rate reductions
2003-2004 7% of base rates after rate reductions
2005 8% of base rates after rate reductions
2006 10% of base rates after rate reductions
Transition Period Provision
During the transition period utilities will be able to recognize, sell or assign
assets; retire or remove plants from service; unbundle or restructure tariffs on
a revenue neutral basis (with impact limitations described in Earnings and
Viability below); accelerate depreciation or amortization or assets without ICC
approval. The ICC could intercede if it believed the transaction jeopardized
reliable service.
Earnings and Viability
The maximum allowable rate of return will be pegged to the 30 year T-Bond rate,
plus 8.5%. If earnings exceed the allowed rate of return by more than 1.5%, 50%
of the excess earnings would be shared with customers. If the rate of return is
below the T-bond Rate, the utilities can apply to the ICC for a rate increase.
Securitization
Utilities are allowed to utilize securitization of transition period revenues as
a means to mitigate stranded costs. The proceeds primarily are to be used to
retire debt and equity, and to repay or retire fuel obligations if the
Commission finds such use is the public interest.
Amount allowable for securitization is capped by 50% of capitalization. In
December 1998, ComEd securitized $3.4 billion.

April 2, 2001
Richard L. Mathias, Chairman
Illinois Commerce Commission
160 North LaSalle Street
Chicago, Illinois 60601
Dear Chairman Mathias:
You and your fellow Commissioners have talked with John Rowe, Frank
Clark and me about the legitimate concern, you, and the general public, share
with respect to the continued successful implementation of electric service
restructuring in Illinois. That concern has been heightened for all of us by
recent events in California. The two most important elements of electric service
-- cost and reliability -- are highlighted by the sharp price increases and
inadequate supply facing Californians as summer approaches. The California
experience is the result of a combination of many factors, including a
supply/demand imbalance that developed over time, and has been exacerbated by a
poorly designed market structure. We at Exelon believe it is important both to
reassure our customers that Illinois is not at risk for a repeat of the
California experience, and to take the steps necessary to protect that promise
beyond the term of Commonwealth Edison's existing contractual rights to reliable
generating capacity. To do that we are developing a detailed plan that will, by
further stimulating the development of a functional wholesale and retail market,
encourage and ensure adequate capacity and acceptable price levels in Illinois
for the long term. The outline of our plan is presented in this letter, by which
we hope to solicit your considered suggestions as we proceed to implementation.
Attached to this letter (as Attachment A) is a simplified summary of the plan as
we now envision it.
We have the same objective: to assure the public of a reliable supply
of electricity at a reasonable price, now and in the future. We also recognize
that smaller consumers wish to be protected from the supply and price
fluctuations inherent in commodity markets. It is also important to build a
functional, competitive market in which supply options are available to all,
with a default system that will have the ability to supply those customers who
are unable or unwilling to exercise those options. Our proposal, therefore,
addresses the need to develop a competitive market, with the participation of a
sufficient number of willing buyers and sellers to assure both adequate capacity
and competitive prices. Such a market, we believe, will also provide a measure
of stability that will benefit all consumers.
Chairman Richard L. Mathias
April 2, 2001
Page 2
Meeting this objective within the context of the current legislation in
a way that would be both certain and advantageous to Exelon would be fairly
simple: Exelon could commit to provide supply to meet any level of demand at the
then prevailing spot market price, plus adequate compensation for taking the
risks of providing reliable, potentially universal service. The resulting price,
although "reasonable" in the context of the market, might not, however, be
desirable for all customers and would not necessarily encourage forward
contracting for new generation. Small customers, for example, would probably
find such pricing not adequately stable or predictable, and the lack of forward
contracting would not provide sufficient incentives to attract adequate
investment in new capacity. Thus we believe the simplicity of such a "spot plus"
model should be somewhat compromised, both to provide greater price certainty
for small users, and to provide incentives for a more vigorous market, which
should result, ultimately, in more secure supply.
With this in mind we propose to distinguish between larger users --
defined as those with loads in excess of 400 kW of demand -- and mass market
consumers, with peak loads below that level (which, incidentally, comprise well
over 99% of all of our retail customers). The 400 kW level is an appropriate
break point for Commonwealth Edison's customers because those with larger loads
represent the majority of "switching" activity in our service territory.
Approximately 12,000 of Edison's non-residential customers (representing over
4,800 MW of load) have so far exercised their choice for unbundled service as of
March 27, 2001. Customers with demands greater than 400 kW represent
approximately 3,900 MW, or 82%, of the load that has switched. In addition, of
the 6,400 customers with loads over 400 kW, roughly 33% have already selected
unbundled service. Finally, customers over 400 kW are already required by
Commonwealth Edison's delivery service tariff to have interval metering in
place. This metering permits customer-specific billing settlements to reflect
actual hourly consumption and can provide large customers with hourly price
signals.
The larger users already have both the ability and the sophistication
to participate directly in the bulk power markets, to respond to market price
signals, and to make their own decisions about the length of their supply
arrangements. The present structure, however, places the regulated utility in
the position of providing these customers with several attractive electric
service options, specifically the power purchase option ("PPO") and fixed price
bundled service offerings. The availability of these options for large customers
tends to limit their incentive to turn to alternative suppliers and thus limits
the number of new entrants on the supply side, restraining the robust
development of the competitive market. Thus, we believe it would be best to
pursue a course that would result in the complete elimination of both PPO and
bundled service for large customers by the end of the mandatory transition
period. We believe that by the end of 2004, when the statutory rate freeze and
the mandatory transition period, as well as Commonwealth Edison's current
contractual rights to substantial capacity from our former fossil plants, come
to an end, these large customers should play an important role as participants
in the market. By mitigating our obligation to supply them, our own flexibility,
as well as the market's robustness, will be enhanced. Assuming our efforts are
successful, and a viable competitive market is in place at the end of the
mandatory transition period in 2004, we would offer to supply large users at
day-ahead or other spot market prices, with some adder to reflect our
administrative costs. While we will make every effort to
Chairman Richard L. Mathias
April 2, 2001
Page 3
develop such a competitive market, we will, of course, also depend on the
support and participation of other market participants and the Commission.
While simply notifying large customers today that the existing PPO and
fixed price offerings will be phased out over time should encourage immediate
increased participation in the competitive market, additional steps should also
be taken during the mandatory transition period to help achieve that goal. We
may propose a tariff to be effective mid-year 2002, when we expect that the
majority of our largest customers (those with loads exceeding 3 MW) will not be
paying any CTC, that disqualifies such customers from eligibility for the
existing PPO option. If necessary, other incentives for market participation
might also be implemented during the mandatory transition period. It should be
clear, however, that in the face of a functioning market with adequate supply
and suppliers, it would not be reasonable to hold us to a PPO obligation at a
fixed price where the magnitude of an unpredictable PPO load could exceed our
own available resources. As long as large users have the present choice,
essentially between the lower of cost or market, many will resist direct
participation in the market, to the detriment of all. A strong market cannot
flourish as long as large users can have it both ways.
With respect to smaller consumers, an appropriate policy should
recognize their need for an alternative to direct participation in the market.
We believe that one answer is for us to assume a more clearly defined role in
assuring a reliable supply, at relatively stable prices. Such prices should
reflect the realities of the market, but mitigate much of the volatility and
risk for the small customers. While there is greater certainty associated with
providing supply for some residential customers who are relatively small and
disinterested in pursuing competitive alternatives undertaking this commitment
with respect to our provider of last resort responsibility for the period beyond
2004 nevertheless entails significant risk. That risk increases as it is
accompanied by our commitment not merely to certainty of supply, but to
certainty of price as well, over time periods that exceed our -- or anyone's --
ability to forecast with confidence. Our plan recognizes the need to meet the
public interest with respect to both of these variables -- supply certainty and
price stability -- thus protecting against the possibility that the sins of
California will be visited on the people of Illinois. It also will provide us
with appropriate compensation for the risk we will be assuming.
In part because of the mix in Exelon's existing generation portfolio,
and in part because of our expectation that, through the use of long-term
forward contracting, we can hedge and manage price risk, we are willing to
undertake a commitment to supply users with peak demands below 400 kW with the
power and energy they need, at a fixed, known price for the period 2005 through
2008. The price could be designed either to remain constant over the period or
to escalate modestly on an annual basis over that period, in which case it would
start at a lower level and end at a higher level than the constant price. The
fixed price level to which we are willing to commit at this time reflects
implicitly several factors, including the market, the risks we are assuming, and
the value customers will receive in terms of reliability, price stability, and
simplicity. However, to the extent that our undertaking is asymmetric -- that
is, obligates us to provide capacity but permits customers to

switch back and forth from generation we supply to that supplied by others -- we
would not expect our obligation to be perpetual.
Under this proposal, all customers, subject to appropriate anti-gaming
rules that limit their ability to change suppliers to capture temporary market
conditions, would have the ability to purchase from alternative suppliers. Thus,
if actual market prices turn out to be lower than the fixed-price offer, the
customers could obtain the benefit of the lower prices by purchasing from an
alternative supplier. By choosing not to turn to alternative suppliers, such
customers would be making another choice, the choice to have someone else -- us
-- identify and provide a reliable supply, and do so at a price that will allow
them to budget and be free from price shocks reflecting the actual and extreme
volatility of the spot electric markets.
Our proposal, in addition to the benefits it provides directly for
large and small users alike, will provide the additional benefit of stimulating
the market in several ways. First, although continuing to provide large
customers with an alternative to direct access, the proposal provides incentives
for such customers to contract directly with competitive suppliers in the market
on their own behalf. They are, after all, the customer class who pursued most
vigorously the legislative creation of open access to the market. Their presence
in the market as buyers will serve to stimulate the participation of sellers,
and the market itself, and therefore should be encouraged. Second, by pricing
our offering to small users to reflect both the market value of the service and
appropriate recognition of the value of the reliability, certainty and
simplicity we will provide, we will create an incentive for other sellers to
compete for those loads, stimulating market development through the opportunity
to undercut our price. Thus, we believe our proposal should also be welcomed by
marketers/suppliers, as providing an established price comparison basis from
which they can compete for price-sensitive mass market customers. Finally,
establishing a long-term fixed price today for a subset of customers will allow
Exelon to sign forward contracts with new and existing generators in order to
hedge this price obligation or engage in other risk management activities. Such
forward contracts could encourage additional new entry, thereby increasing
overall system reliability and ensuring reasonable price levels in the future.
Small users themselves are at this time uncertain about the value of
shopping in the market, and the frequency with which they might switch suppliers
if they do shop. This makes it difficult to forecast the magnitude and shape of
the loads they represent, and, obviously, increases the risk of undertaking a
commitment to serve whatever that load may be, at pre-established prices. This,
however, seems to be exactly what the California experience has taught the rest
of us that the public demands: both a functional market, and a safe harbor. Our
proposal is intended to facilitate the development of the former, and assure the
existence of the latter.
Our proposal requires several things at this stage. First, we welcome
your insights into refinements you believe might improve the ability of our
model to stimulate fully competitive markets. We need to consider together the
regulatory or other changes that might be necessary to accommodate our
structure. We must do further work to refine the actual prices at which we are
prepared to offer this service. Finally, we also need to consider the most
efficient process for

implementation. There are several reasons for this, but two are of immediate
concern. The first is the urgent need to reassure a concerned public, troubled
by the California experience, that provision has been made for their power
supply, at reasonable prices, for the foreseeable future. The second is the need
to move quickly to arrange for that supply, and its appropriate pricing. Under
the present arrangement, price uncertainty associated with provider of last
resort and default service obligations does not arise until 2005. However, as
Commissioner Kretschmer has recently observed, long-term price hedging can be of
great value, and negotiations for the necessary contracts and financial hedges
to eliminate price uncertainty through 2008 should therefore begin almost
immediately, with the hope that the sooner we start, the sooner such a service
can be confidently offered at a known price.
I look forward to reporting to you further refinements in our proposal,
to meeting with you, if you wish, to discuss it, and to implementing a plan to
bring the best of both the competitive market and the regulated delivery
business to the people of Illinois.
Very truly yours,
