Item 9. Regulation FD Disclosure A. On January 29, 2002, Exelon Corporation issued a news release disclosing its earnings for the fourth quarter of 2002 and for the year ended December 31, 2002. The press release is attached as Exhibit 99. B. Fourth Quarter Earnings Release Conference Call As previously announced, on January 29, 2003 Exelon Corporation conducted its Fourth Quarter 2002 Earnings Conference Call. The call was open to all on a listen-only basis and was audio web-cast. Telephone replays will be available through February 15, 2003. The U.S. call-in number for replays is 877-519-4471 and the international call-in number is 973-341-3080. The confirmation code is 3653872. In addition, the call will be archived on Exelon's web site, www.exeloncorp.com; please choose the Investor Relations page. During the call, management reviewed issues outlined in the news release. Other matters management discussed associated with the year and quarter ended December 31, 2002 included: o Upon completing the 2003 budget in November 2002, the outlook for ComEd earnings weakened based on more modest sales growth and higher pension expense. Accordingly, ComEd accelerated the regulatory asset amortization by only $8 million after tax, or 2 cents per share, instead of $28 million after tax, or 9 cents per share, as was previously indicated in October 2002. This change resulted in a 7 cents per share increase in earnings in the fourth quarter 2002 compared to our guidance. As provided under the Illinois restructuring act, the regulatory asset amortization is not level quarter to quarter but changes based on ComEd's earnings expectations. o In December 2002, Exelon made a $150 million cash contribution to the pension fund. Also, Exelon recorded a $1 billion after-tax charge to Other Comprehensive Income related to our pension obligation. Neither of these items affected Exelon's earnings for 2002. Exelon's 2002 pension and postretirement obligation expense totaled $93 million. Also, in the fourth quarter of 2002, Exelon made a $150 million contribution to ComEd to reduce its payable to ComEd. ComEd recorded this payment in equity as reduction of its receivable from the parent company. 2003 Earnings Guidance - ---------------------- Management provided additional information on the change in the earnings release to the Exelon 2003 earnings guidance range of $4.80 to $5.00 per share, assuming normal weather. The 2003 earnings guidance is based on the actual 2002 results and the following assumptions for 2003: o Nuclear Capacity factor: 94.2% o ComEd kWh sales: 1.5% annually assuming normal weather o PECO kWh sales: 0.6% assuming normal weather o ComEd load retention: 85%, same as 2002 o PECO load retention: 80% o Effective income tax rate: 37.3% Management noted that there is no longer simple earnings sensitivity to changes in wholesale power prices. The earnings sensitivity varies from region to region and quarter to quarter. Also, the New England assets are spark spread sensitive rather than simply power price sensitive. Exelon's 2002 weather normalized earnings were $4.75 per share. Detail on several of the large factors affecting 2003 estimated earnings include: Positive effects ---------------- o The exercise of options under the Midwest Generation contract is expected to provide net savings on the capacity charges of about $130 million pre-tax in 2003 compared to 2002. On an after-tax basis that is about 25 cents per share positive. o Three fewer nuclear plant refueling outages are scheduled in 2003, which should provide savings of about $60 million pre-tax or 11 cents per share positive. o Exelon anticipates Enterprises to break even or be slightly positive in 2003. This would result in approximately $51 million, or 16 cents per share, of earnings growth. o The ongoing program of debt refinancing and transition bond retirement is expected to provide 13 cents per share of earnings growth in 2003. o Exelon has a modest outlook for sales growth at Energy Delivery to provide 5 to 10 cents of earnings growth. o Management believes that the ongoing benefit of Cost Management Initiatives will offset inflation in operating expenses in 2003. Negative effects ---------------- o Exelon previously disclosed that the expected impact of the implementation of Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 143 (SFAS No. 143), "Asset Retirement Obligations," would be no more than 10 cents per share negative. Exelon now estimates that the effect will be approximately 7 cents per share negative based on its current interpretation of the accounting guidance. This estimate is subject to continued refinement and may change based on the finalization of the adoption of the standard. This amount includes Exelon's portion of the effect of the adoption of the standard at AmerGen, a 50% owned joint venture between Exelon and British Energy plc. o As previously disclosed, the investment in Sithe is anticipated to be dilutive by 20 cents per share more in 2003 compared to 2002. o Exelon has revised some of its assumptions related to pension and other postretirement benefit plan obligation costs. For 2003, Exelon will use an expected return on plan assets of 9.0%, down from 9.5%. The discount rate assumption is now 6.75%, down from 7.35%. The estimated net impact of these changes is a $125 million pre-tax increase in the expense related to pension and postretirement benefits, approximately 24 cents per share. The 2003 earnings guidance does not include the potential impact of one-time items, such as the cumulative effect of adopting SFAS No. 143 that is anticipated to include a one-time gain of at least $1.5 billion. Exelon expects that first quarter 2003 earnings will represent between 20% and 25% of the full year's earnings. In first quarter 2002, we had very mild weather, which decreased earnings by 18 cents per share relative to normal weather. With normal weather, management expects an improvement in year-over-year first quarter earnings. Other forward-looking matters - ----------------------------- Exelon has initiated a new plan to develop a more fundamental and durable productivity improvement program to expand on 2002's Cost Management Initiative. This new initiative is called "The Exelon Way". The details on this program intended to assist Exelon in growing its earnings despite the effect of lower wholesale power prices will be released once completed. The plan is not expected to have a significant effect on 2003 earnings, but to begin producing meaningful results in 2004. Exelon's capital budget is approximately $2 billion in 2003 with non-fuel operating and maintenance expenditures in excess of $4 billion. Exelon is attempting to reduce this total number by between 5% and 10% by 2004. The Board of Directors adopted a long-term incentive compensation plan that includes goals of reducing capital spending by $1 billion over the next four years. Management estimates that 60% of its spending decreases will be in its regulated businesses and 40% in the non-regulated businesses. Also, management anticipates generating enough cash flow from operations to be able to fund its capital program, to fund its dividend payments, to fund its pension funding requirements and to fund the $600 million in transition bonds repayments. Management does not anticipate needing external financing sources in 2003 for these purposes; however, Exelon anticipates re-financing approximately $1.4 billion of debt in 2003. Exelon intends to grow its dividend at a rate of approximately four to five percent commensurate with its long-term earnings growth projection. Exelon's Power Team is typically 80 to 95 percent hedged for near-term transactions. Exelon believes it is at the higher end of that range for the first quarter of 2003. Exelon currently tends to be more fully hedged in the near term, such as first quarter 2003, as compared to more distant periods. Exelon's goal is to secure its earnings while avoiding the downside risk, even though this reduces the potential upside due to price changes. Exelon has firm natural gas delivery contracts that are expected to provide a stable supply to Exelon's New England assets and to minimize spark-spread risk. Following Sithe's practices, Exelon is currently selling the energy generated by these assets in the spot market. Exelon is planning to sell energy into the market with six month to three-year sale contracts with this supply contract in place. ComEd Discussion - ---------------- Illinois electric utilities are allowed to collect a competitive transition charge (CTC) from customers who choose an alternate supplier of electric generation service or choose the ComEd Purchase Power Option (PPO). This CTC was intended to assist electric utilities, such as ComEd, in recovering stranded costs that might not otherwise be recoverable in a fully competitive market. The CTC rate represents the difference between the competitive price of delivered energy (the sum of generation service at competitive prices and the regulated price of energy delivery) and recoveries under historical bundled rates, reduced by a mitigation factor. The CTC rate is updated annually. Over time, to facilitate the transition to a competitive market, the mitigation factor increases, thereby reducing the CTC rate. Under the current rate structure at the end of 2006, ComEd will no longer collect CTCs from customers who elect to take service from a supplier other than ComEd. In 2001, ComEd collected $110 million of CTC revenue, while in 2002, CTC revenue collected increased to $306 million due to the change in the competitive price of delivered energy, primarily due to lower wholesale prices and more customers choosing alternative energy suppliers or the ComEd PPO. Based on increasing mitigation factors and our assumptions about the competitive price of delivered energy and customers' choice of electric suppliers, we estimate that CTC revenue will decrease to approximately $250 to $300 million by 2006. Under the statute as it stands, in 2007 this revenue may drop to zero. At the same time, ComEd will continue to sell electricity to its customers under a bundled rate. ComEd's bundled rate is an all-inclusive rate that does not separately break out charges for energy generation service commodity and energy delivery service, but charges a single set of prices. Much like the CTC collections, this revenue stream is authorized by the legislature through the transition period. After the transition ends in 2006, ComEd's bundled rates may be reset through a traditional or innovative regulator approval process, which may include performance incentives to ComEd. At this point in time it is impossible to predict the outcome of a potential regulatory proceeding to establish rates for 2007. It is also impossible to predict the impact to Exelon of a potential reduction in CTC since many other factors will be changing by 2007, for example market prices. Exelon has completed the following four major steps to deal with this issue: o The maturities of the ComEd transition bonds are scheduled so that most will be repaid by the end of 2006. o The merger between Unicom and PECO created a larger and more diverse income stream with new growth opportunities when ComEd's transition revenues come to an end. o Exelon established Exelon Generation as a separate legal entity so that it can take advantage of higher wholesale prices when they occur. o Exelon cooperated with other parties who wanted a two-year extension in the bundled rate freeze that previously went into effect. In order to continue to address this matter, Exelon is doing the following going forward: o Exelon is constantly working with Illinois state leadership and business community leadership to facilitate the development of a competitive electricity market while providing consumer protection and system reliability. o Exelon is pursuing measures that would provide greater productivity, quality and innovation in our work practices (as previously described as The Exelon Way). o Exelon believes that the current wholesale power price market will remain sluggish over the next several years, but will start moving up to $29 per megawatt hour in the 2006 and 2007 period. o Finally, Exelon continues to contemplate successful and skillful acquisition(s) that will lessen the potential ComEd impact in 2007. Exelon believes that no one of these factors will solve the 2007 challenge, but that some combination of the four completed steps and the four components currently being worked on, together with other things Exelon may do over the next four years, will address the 2007 challenge.

       Exelon Reports Fourth Quarter Earnings of $1.22 Per Diluted Share;
                        Common Dividend Increased by 4.5%

Chicago (January 29, 2003) - Exelon Corporation (NYSE: EXC) today reported
consolidated earnings of $397 million, or $1.22 per share (diluted), for the
fourth quarter of 2002 and $1,440 million, or $4.44 per share (diluted), for the
year ended December 31, 2002. There were no unusual earnings items in the
quarter. Earnings in the fourth quarter of 2001 were $338 million or $1.05 per
share (diluted) and included a severance charge that lowered earnings by $0.03
per share. "Earnings from operations" or "operating earnings" represent reported
earnings excluding unusual items. Excluding the severance charge, fourth quarter
2001 earnings from operations were $1.08 per share. Earnings for the fourth
quarter 2002 were up 13% over earnings from operations in fourth quarter 2001.

Full year 2002 earnings from operations were $4.83 per share, up 7.6% over 2001
earnings from operations. Exelon's reported earnings for 2002 included three
unusual items that lowered earnings by $0.39 per share, the second quarter gain
from the sale of the AT&T Wireless investment and the first quarter charges for
goodwill impairment and severance costs. Exelon's reported 2001 earnings of
$1,428 million, or $4.43 per share (diluted), included a net negative $0.06 per
share of unusual items. The unusual items in 2001 consisted of severance
charges, litigation reserves, implementation of a new accounting principle for
derivative contracts, the settlement of a transition bond swap, a wholesale rate
settlement and the prepayment of competitive transition charges by a large PECO
customer. Excluding these items, 2001 operating earnings were $4.49 per share.

Improved operating earnings for both the quarter and the full year were due to
higher sales (including increased weather-related kWh deliveries), lower
interest expense, higher interest income and the cessation of goodwill
amortization. For the full year, these positives were offset by lower energy
margins resulting from lower wholesale power prices. The estimated net impact of
favorable weather is $0.07 per share in the fourth quarter compared with the
prior year and $0.01 per share relative to normal weather. For the full year
2002, the favorable impact of weather was $0.21 per share compared with 2001 and
$0.08 per share relative to normal weather. The cessation of goodwill
amortization contributed $0.11 per share for the quarter relative to the fourth
quarter of 2001 and $0.46 per share for the full year 2002 compared with 2001.





"Our success in 2002 was the result of our drive to live up to our commitments
and perform at world-class levels," said John W. Rowe, Exelon Chairman and CEO.
"In 2003, we will build on our successful Cost Management Initiative and
continue to push for improved efficiency and productivity. Based on the current
outlook, we believe we are in a position to earn $4.80 to $5.00 per share in
2003."

Common Dividend Increase

Yesterday, the Exelon Board of Directors declared a dividend of $0.46 per share
on Exelon's common stock, payable March 10, 2003, to shareholders of record at
5:00 p.m. EST on February 15, 2003. The increase of $0.08 per share annually,
approximately 4.5%, will result in an annual dividend rate of $1.84 per share or
$0.46 per share quarterly. Payment of future dividends is subject to approval
and declaration by the Board.

Fourth Quarter Highlights

o        Exelon Generation's nuclear fleet, excluding AmerGen, produced 29,727
         GWhs for the fourth quarter of 2002, compared with 29,442 GWhs output
         for the fourth quarter of 2001. The fleet, including AmerGen, achieved
         a capacity factor of 94.2% for the fourth quarter of 2002, compared
         with 92.5% for the fourth quarter of 2001. Exelon Generation's nuclear
         group (Nuclear) completed three scheduled outages during the fourth
         quarter of 2002 compared with two scheduled outages in the fourth
         quarter of 2001. Exelon Nuclear achieved a 92.7% capacity factor for
         the full year 2002 compared with 94.4% for 2001. The lower capacity
         factor in 2002 was the result of more numerous refueling outages in
         2002, reflecting eleven planned outages in 2002 compared with six in
         2001.

o        The Cost Management Initiative (CMI) achieved $154 million of
         sustainable savings in the fourth quarter of 2002 relative to Exelon's
         original 2002 financial plan. For the full year 2002, the CMI achieved
         $340 million of sustainable savings relative to Exelon's original 2002
         financial plan. Out of the total $340 million of CMI savings, $269
         million represents cash savings with the balance of savings from
         non-cash items.

o        On November 1, Exelon Generation completed the purchase of Sithe New
         England Holdings (Sithe New England), a subsidiary of Sithe Energies,
         Inc. (Sithe), representing about 4,445 MWs of capacity. The purchase
         price consisted of a $534 million note to Sithe, $14 million of direct
         acquisition costs and the assumption of various Sithe guarantees
         related to an equity contribution agreement between Sithe New England
         and Sithe Boston Generation, a project subsidiary of Sithe New England.
         Sithe Boston Generation has a $1.25 billion credit facility to finance
         construction of the Mystic 8 and 9 generating units and the ForeRiver
         unit. The $1.0 billion outstanding under the facility at December 31,
         2002, is reflected on Exelon's consolidated Balance Sheet.

o        On November 22, Exelon announced the renewal of its $1.5 billion credit
         facility. Exelon, along with ComEd, PECO and Exelon Generation,
         participates in the $1.5 billion unsecured 364-day revolving credit
         facility with a group of 16 banks. The credit facility includes a
         term-out option that allows any outstanding borrowings at the end of
         the revolving credit period to be repaid on November 21, 2004. This
         facility is used principally to support the commercial paper programs
         at the Exelon holding company level and at ComEd, PECO and Generation.





                                                                               2


o        On January 22, 2003, ComEd closed on the sale of $350 million of 3.70%
         first mortgage bonds, which are due on February 1, 2008, and $350
         million of 5.875% first mortgage bonds, which are due on February 1,
         2033. The net proceeds from the sale of the bonds, together with
         available cash balances, will be used to pay off matured or called debt
         with interest rates averaging about 6.5%. The 5-year bonds were priced
         at 68 basis points over the 5-year U.S. Treasury Note at the date of
         the pricing, while the 30-year bonds were priced at 90 basis points
         over the 30-year U.S. Treasury Note at the date of the pricing. These
         bond sales are part of an effort at Exelon Corporation to manage
         ComEd's balance sheet and lower its interest expense.

BUSINESS UNIT RESULTS
Exelon Corporation's consolidated net income for the fourth quarter of 2002 was
$397 million compared with net income of $338 million in the fourth quarter of
2001.

Exelon Energy Delivery consists of the retail electricity transmission and
distribution operations of ComEd and PECO and the natural gas distribution
business of PECO. Energy Delivery's net income in the fourth quarter of 2002 was
$361 million compared with net income of $212 million in the fourth quarter of
2001. This increase was primarily due to increased sales to residential
customers, including weather-related electric and gas sales, the cessation of
goodwill amortization, lower depreciation rates at ComEd, and cost savings in
2002.

Heating degree days for the fourth quarter of 2002 in the ComEd service
territory were up 27% relative to the same period in 2001 and 3% above normal.
In the PECO service territory, heating degree days were up 42% compared with
2001 and 3% below normal. Retail KWh deliveries rose 3% for ComEd, with a 14%
increase in deliveries to the residential customer class reflecting more heating
degree days and a strong housing market. PECO's retail KWh deliveries increased
11% overall, reflecting an increase in the number of customers selecting PECO as
their energy service provider. Energy Delivery's fourth quarter 2002 revenues
were $2,484 million, up 10% from $2,268 million in 2001. Energy Delivery's
fourth quarter 2002 fuel and purchased power expense was $1,044 million, up 8%
from $970 million in 2001. Additionally, Energy Delivery's results improved due
to a decrease in operating and maintenance expense, the cessation of the
amortization of goodwill and lower interest expense. The impact of the colder
weather increased Energy Delivery's fourth quarter 2002 earnings per share
(diluted) by approximately $0.05 relative to 2001, and $0.01 relative to the
normal weather that was incorporated in our earnings guidance.

Exelon Generation consists of Exelon's electric generation operations and power
marketing and trading functions. Generation's fourth quarter 2002 net income of
$73 million decreased from fourth quarter 2001 net income of $143 million due to
higher average supply costs and higher operating and maintenance expenses,
partially offset by a weather-related increase in energy sales volumes to
affiliates and the market, and higher power prices. Generation's fourth quarter
2002 revenue of $1,626 million includes a net trading portfolio loss of $2
million compared with fourth quarter 2001 revenue of $1,423 million, which
included a net trading portfolio gain of $8 million. Revenues, excluding the
trading portfolio, increased 15% from the fourth quarter of 2001, reflecting
higher energy sales volumes, higher power prices and the 2002 acquisitions of
the New England plants and two Texas plants. Energy sales volume, exclusive of
trading volumes, totaled 51,804 GWhs in the fourth quarter of 2002 compared with
47,294 GWhs in fourth quarter 2001.




                                                                               3


The average realized price excluding trading activity in the fourth quarter of
2002 was $30.04 per MWh compared with $29.66 per MWh in 2001. Higher market
prices in both MAIN and PJM, driven by higher market gas and oil prices and cold
weather, were largely offset by our hedge position during the quarter. The same
factors, cold weather and higher gas prices, also resulted in higher supply
costs, including purchase power costs. As a result of these factors margins
contracted and revenue net fuel decreased $48 million to $660 million in the
fourth quarter of 2002 as compared with the fourth quarter of 2001. The fourth
quarter 2002 revenue net fuel includes net mark-to-market losses of $4 million
from non-trading activities. Operating and maintenance expenses increased $67
million reflecting the addition of the Texas and New England plants, increased
nuclear outages and a lower 2002 insurance distribution from Nuclear Electric
Insurance Limited, partially offset by savings generated by Exelon's CMI
efforts. The $22 million increase in depreciation and amortization in the fourth
quarter of 2002 as compared with the fourth quarter of 2001 is related to the
acquired Texas and New England plants and other capital investments.

Exelon Enterprises consists of Exelon's competitive retail energy sales, energy
and infrastructure services, venture capital investments and related businesses.
Enterprises reported a fourth quarter 2002 net loss of $4 million, an
improvement of $18 million compared with the same period in 2001. The
improvement in net income was the result of increased revenues and margins in
infrastructure services, mark-to-market adjustments, Exelon's CMI savings and
the cessation of goodwill amortization. The positive operating results were

1 EXELON CORPORATION Earnings Per Diluted Share Reconciliation Fourth Quarter 2002 vs. Fourth Quarter 2001
2001 Earnings per Diluted Share $ 1.05 Unusual Items included in 2001 Earnings: Employee Severance Cost (1) 0.03 ----------- 2001 Earnings Excluding Unusual Items 1.08 Year Over Year Effects on Earnings: Higher Energy Margins - Excluding Weather (2) 0.12 Higher Energy Margins - Weather Impact (3) 0.07 Cessation of Goodwill Amortization 0.11 Lower Interest Expense (4) 0.04 Higher Interest Income (5) 0.05 Higher Net Losses of Unconsolidated Subsidiaries (6) (0.04) Lower Operating and Maintenance Expense (O&M) (7) 0.02 Higher Nuclear Outage Operating and Maintenance Costs (8) (0.03) Lower Insurance Refund from Nuclear Electric Insurance Limited (0.05) Lower Taxes Other Than Income (9) 0.01 Higher Depreciation and Amortization Expense (10) (0.04) Higher Effective Income Tax Rate (11) (0.12) ----------- 2002 Earnings per Diluted Share $ 1.22 =========== (1) Relates to additional PECO positions identified to be eliminated in 2001 as a result of the 2000 merger of PECO and Unicom. (2) Primarily reflects higher sales, including a stronger housing market in Chicago in 2002 compared to 2001, partially offset by higher PJM ancillary costs. (3) Primarily related to colder winter weather in the fourth quarter of 2002 compared to 2001. Additionally, because retail electricity sales were up due to weather, the Power Team sold less electricity at wholesale prices. (4) Reflects lower debt outstanding and lower interest rates due to refinancing at Energy Delivery and a lower rate on Generation's spent nuclear fuel obligation. (5) Primarily reflects higher investment income from nuclear decommissioning trust funds in 2002. (6) Primarily reflects lower earnings at Sithe. (7) Lower O&M's, excluding outage costs, employee severance insurance refunds and InfraSource and Energy Services O&M's, relate to Exelon's Cost Management Initiative and a reduction in bad debt reserves at Energy Delivery, partially offset by Generation O&M's reflecting higher administrative costs, an increase in credit reserves, the acquisition of two generating stations in Texas in April 2002 and the acquisition of Sithe New England in November 2002. (8) Relates to three nuclear refueling outages in 2002 as compared to one refueling outage in 2001. These outages exclude AmerGen and include Salem. (9) Lower Taxes Other Than Income, excluding taxes included in energy margins, relate to an adjustment to sales and use tax. (10) Depreciation and amortization expense, excluding goodwill amortization, was higher primarily related to the effect of increased CTC amortization at PECO and increased depreciation related to higher depreciable plant balances, partially offset by lower depreciation rates at ComEd. (11) Reflects changes in deferred taxes and other tax charges.
2 EXELON CORPORATION Earnings Per Diluted Share Reconciliation Year Ended December 31, 2002 vs. Year Ended December 31, 2001
2001 Earnings per Diluted Share $ 4.43 Unusual Items included in 2001 Earnings: Cumulative Effect of Adopting SFAS 133 (0.04) Employee Severance Cost (1) 0.09 Litigation Reserves 0.03 Net Loss on Investments (2) 0.02 CTC Prepayment (0.02) Wholesale Rate Settlement (0.01) Settlement of Transition Bond Swap (0.01) ------------- 2001 Earnings Excluding Unusual Items 4.49 Year Over Year Effects on Earnings: Lower Energy Margins - Excluding Weather (3) (0.35) Higher Energy Margins - Weather Impact (4) 0.21 Higher Nuclear Outage Operating and Maintenance Costs (5) (0.15) Investment and Asset Write-Downs (6) (0.08) Cessation of Goodwill Amortization 0.46 Operating and Maintenance Expense (O&M) (7) - Lower Insurance Refund from Nuclear Electric Insurance Limited (0.05) Lower Interest Expense (8) 0.27 Higher Interest Income (9) 0.13 Higher Taxes Other Than Income (10) (0.03) Litigation Reserve - ComEd Liberty Audit (0.02) Higher Depreciation and Amortization Expense (11) (0.07) Increased Reserve for Environmental Liabilities (0.03) Higher Equity in Earnings of Unconsolidated Affiliates (12) 0.03 Lower Effective Income Tax Rate (13) 0.04 Other (0.02) ------------- 2002 Earnings Before Cumulative Effect of Adopting SFAS 142, the Gain on the AT&T Sale and Severance 4.83 Cumulative Effect of Adopting SFAS 142 (0.71) Gain on the Sale of AT&T Wireless 0.36 Severance (14) (0.04) ------------- 2002 Earnings per Diluted Share $ 4.44 ============= (1) Relates to additional PECO positions identified to be eliminated in 2001 as a result of the 2000 merger of PECO and Unicom. (2) Impairment writedowns of Enterprises' investments, partially offset by realized gains on distributions on Enterprises' investments. (3) Primarily reflects lower market prices for energy, higher PJM ancillary costs, lower margins on energy trading activity and rate reductions at Energy Delivery, partially offset by higher sales including a stronger housing market in Chicago in 2002 compared to 2001 and the effect of customers returning to PECO. ComEd's 5% residential customer rate reduction, effective October 1, 2001, reflects a reduction of $0.18 per share. (4) Primarily related to warmer summer weather and colder winter weather in Chicago and Philadelphia in 2002 compared to 2001. (5) Relates to eleven nuclear refueling outages in 2002 as compared to six nuclear refueling outages in 2001. (6) Reflects $41 million of investment writedowns and $4 million of net asset write-downs at Enterprises. (7) Operating and maintenance expenses, excluding litigation and environmental reserves, outage costs, severance costs and lower InfraSource and Exelon Services activity, increased primarily due to a reduction in bad debt reserves at Energy Delivery and Exelon's Cost Management Initiative savings. These increases were offset by increased Generation O&M's related to higher administrative costs, increased bad debt reserves, the acquisition of two generating stations in Texas in April 2002, the acquisition of Sithe New England in November 2002 and increased PECO expenditures related to the deployment of automated meter reading technology. The earnings effect of lower lnfraSource and Exelon Services O&M's is offset by lower InfraSource and Exelon Services revenue. (8) Reflects lower debt outstanding and lower interest rates due to refinancing at Energy Delivery and a lower rate on Generation's spent nuclear fuel obligation. (9) Primarily reflects higher investment income from nuclear decommissioning trust funds in 2002. (10) Taxes Other Than Income, excluding gross receipts tax, primarily reflects higher property taxes partially offset by an adjustment to sales and use tax. (11) Depreciation and amortization expense, excluding goodwill amortization, was higher primarily related to increased CTC amortization at PECO, higher amortization of capitalized software at Enterprises and increased depreciation related to higher depreciable plant balances, partially offset by the effect of the extension of the estimated service lives of the generating stations in 2001 and lower depreciation rates at ComEd. (12) Reflects higher earnings at Sithe, the absence of losses on AT&T Wireless which was sold in 2002, and the recovery of trade receivables previously considered uncollectible at a communications joint venture, partially offset by lower earnings at AmerGen. (13) Relates to reduced state income taxes partially offset by changes in deferred taxes and other tax charges. (14) Executive severance costs partially offset by favorable adjustments to previous severance estimates. A portion of the executive severance is not tax deductible. As a result, the after-tax impact on earnings is $0.04 per share.
