Exelon Announces Third Quarter Results;

Increases Fourth Quarter Common Dividend by 5 Percent

CHICAGO (October 24, 2008) – Exelon Corporation’s (Exelon) third quarter 2008 consolidated earnings prepared in accordance with GAAP were $700 million, or $1.06 per diluted share, compared with earnings of $780 million, or $1.15 per share, in the third quarter of 2007.

Exelon’s adjusted (non-GAAP) operating earnings for the third quarter of 2008 were $706 million, or $1.07 per diluted share, compared with $823 million, or $1.21 per diluted share, for the same period in 2007.

“Our third quarter earnings reflected certain unusual events, including several related to the nation’s economic turmoil. The results also demonstrate, however, the underlying strength of the operating performance at Generation. We expect to be well within our original 2008 earnings guidance range, but due to the effects of these unfavorable items, such as weather and macro economic factors, we expect our full-year 2008 results to be near the bottom of the $4.15 to 4.30 per share range that we announced on September 4th,” said John W. Rowe, Exelon’s chairman and CEO. “We continue to be well positioned – our operations are stronger than ever and our financial fundamentals remain sound, with a strong balance sheet, positive cash flows and sufficient access to liquidity.”

The decreased level of third quarter 2008 earnings was primarily due to:

 

   

increased operating and maintenance expenses, including

 

  - increased expense for uncollectible accounts at Commonwealth Edison Company (ComEd) and PECO Energy Company (PECO) as well as the establishment of a reserve related to accounts receivable at Exelon Generation Company, LLC from Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc. (Lehman) due to its bankruptcy filing,

 

  - the impact of inflation on labor, contracting and materials as well as higher refueling outage costs due to a higher number of scheduled refueling outage days at Generation’s nuclear plants,

 

1


  - discrete disallowances, net of allowed regulatory assets, mandated by the September 2008 Illinois Commerce Commission (ICC) order on ComEd’s 2007 distribution rate case;

 

   

the effect of unfavorable weather conditions compared with last year in the service territories of ComEd and PECO;

 

   

increased depreciation and amortization expense primarily related to the higher scheduled competitive transition charge (CTC) amortization at PECO; and

 

   

the impact of the reduction of a liability in 2007 associated with PECO’s property taxes.

The decreased level of third quarter 2008 earnings was partially offset by:

 

   

higher energy margins at Generation due to increased average realized market prices and increased nuclear output, partially offset by higher nuclear fuel costs;

 

   

increased transmission and distribution revenue at ComEd resulting from the 2007 transmission and distribution rate cases;

 

   

lower stock-based compensation costs; and

 

   

decreased income taxes.

Adjusted (non-GAAP) operating earnings for the third quarter of 2008 do not include the following (after-tax) items that were included in reported GAAP earnings:

 

   

Mark-to-market gains of $65 million, or $0.10 per diluted share, primarily from Generation’s economic hedging activities.

 

   

A charge of $26 million, or $0.04 per diluted share, for the costs associated with the 2007 Illinois electric rate settlement agreement.

 

   

Unrealized losses of $60 million, or $0.09 per diluted share, related to nuclear decommissioning trust fund investments primarily related to the AmerGen Energy Company, LLC (AmerGen) nuclear plants.

 

   

Income of $15 million, or $0.02 per diluted share, resulting from decreases in decommissioning obligations primarily related to the AmerGen nuclear plants.

Adjusted (non-GAAP) operating earnings for the third quarter of 2007 did not include the following (after-tax) items that were included in reported GAAP earnings:

 

   

A charge of $80 million, or $0.12 per diluted share, for the costs associated with the 2007 Illinois electric rate settlement, including ComEd’s previously announced customer rate relief programs.

 

   

Income of $18 million, or $0.03 per diluted share, resulting from decreases in decommissioning obligations primarily related to the AmerGen nuclear plants.

 

   

Earnings of $17 million, or $0.03 per diluted share, associated with investments in synthetic fuel-producing facilities, including the impact of mark-to-market losses associated with the related derivatives.

2008 Earnings Outlook

Exelon expects its full-year adjusted (non-GAAP) operating earnings for 2008 to be near the bottom of its guidance range of $4.15 to $4.30 per share. The following table indicates estimated ranges by operating company contribution to 2008 adjusted (non-GAAP) operating earnings per Exelon share, excluding Exelon holding company.

 

2


Generation:

   $3.45 to $3.55

ComEd:

   $0.30 to $0.35

PECO:

   $0.45 to $0.50

The outlook for 2008 adjusted (non-GAAP) operating earnings for Exelon and its subsidiaries excludes the following items:

 

   

mark-to-market adjustments from economic hedging activities

 

   

unrealized gains and losses from nuclear decommissioning trust fund investments primarily related to the AmerGen nuclear plants

 

   

significant impairments of assets, including goodwill

 

   

changes in decommissioning obligation estimates

 

   

costs associated with the 2007 Illinois electric rate settlement agreement, including ComEd’s previously announced customer rate relief programs

 

   

costs associated with ComEd’s settlement with the City of Chicago

 

   

certain costs associated with the proposed offer to acquire NRG Energy Inc. (NRG)

 

   

other unusual items

 

   

significant future changes to GAAP

Giving consideration to these factors, Exelon estimates GAAP earnings in 2008 will likely be in the range of $3.90 to $4.30 per share, excluding any costs associated with the proposed offer to acquire NRG. Both Exelon’s operating earnings and GAAP earnings guidance are based on the assumption of normal weather for the remainder of the year.

Third Quarter and Recent Highlights

 

   

Offer to Acquire NRG: On October 19, 2008, Exelon announced its proposal to acquire Princeton, N.J.-based NRG Energy Inc. Exelon has offered to acquire all of the outstanding NRG common stock in an all-stock transaction with a fixed exchange ratio of 0.485 Exelon share for each NRG share, which represents a value of $26.43 for each NRG common share based on Exelon’s closing price on October 17 prior to announcement of the proposal. This represents a total equity value of approximately $6.2 billion for NRG based on Exelon’s closing price on October 17. The proposed combination offers increased scale, geographic diversity, and financial stability. Based on Exelon’s analysis, using publicly available information and subject to purchase accounting and other adjustments that may result from due diligence investigation, Exelon expects this transaction to be accretive to earnings in the first full calendar year of operations and to increase free cash flows. The combined company scale would make large, single asset projects more feasible, and would provide significant opportunities for organic growth.

 

   

Exelon Value Return – Dividend Increase and Share Repurchase: Exelon’s board of directors declared a regular fourth-quarter 2008 dividend of $0.525 per share on Exelon’s common stock, a 5 percent increase over the dividend for the third quarter of 2008. The fourth-quarter dividend is payable on December 10, 2008, to Exelon shareholders of record at 5:00 p.m. New York Time on November 14, 2008.

Also as part of its value return policy, Exelon uses share repurchases from time to time to return cash or balance sheet capacity to Exelon shareholders after funding maintenance capital and other commitments and in the absence of higher value-added growth opportunities. On September 2, 2008, Exelon’s board of directors approved a share repurchase program for up to $1.5 billion of Exelon’s outstanding common stock. Exelon has now determined to defer indefinitely any share repurchases. This decision was made in light of a variety of factors, including: developments in recent weeks affecting the world economy and commodity markets, including those for electricity and gas; the continued uncertainty in capital and credit markets and the potential impact of those events on Exelon’s future cash needs.

 

   

Liquidity Position: Year to date, ComEd and PECO have issued $1.3 billion and $950 million of bonds, respectively, primarily to refinance or repay outstanding debt and for other general corporate purposes. Exelon and its operating companies have completed their financing plans for 2008. Excluding securitized transition debt, which is guaranteed to be repaid through customer-collected revenues, Exelon and its subsidiaries have a total of only $29 million of long-term debt, including capital lease obligations, maturing from September 30, 2008 through December 31, 2009.

As of October 20, 2008, Exelon had $7.3 billion of aggregate bank commitments with a diverse group of 24 banks, excluding commitments previously made by Lehman Brothers Bank. No single bank has more than 10 percent of the aggregate outstanding commitments at Exelon, and these commitments extend largely through 2012. As of October 20, 2008, Exelon had utilized only approximately $500 million of its capacity under its facilities, leaving $6.8 billion of the total $7.3 billion of capacity available to Exelon. In addition, Exelon had a total of $35 million of commercial paper outstanding.

 

   

Nuclear Operations: Generation’s nuclear fleet, including its owned output from the Salem Generating Station operated by PSEG Nuclear LLC, produced 36,451 GWhs in the third quarter of 2008, compared with 36,356 GWhs in the third quarter of 2007. The Exelon-operated nuclear plants achieved a 97.2 percent capacity factor for the third quarter of 2008 compared with 97.0 percent for the third quarter of 2007. The increased total nuclear output was driven by a lower number of non-refueling outage days at the Exelon-operated plants, 8 days in the third quarter of 2008 versus 13 days in the third quarter of 2007, as well as higher capacity factors at several of the nuclear plants offsetting the higher number of scheduled refueling outage days. The Exelon-operated nuclear plants began one scheduled refueling outage in the third quarter of 2008 (17 days), compared with beginning two scheduled refueling outages late in the third quarter of 2007 (9 days).

 

   

Fossil and Hydro Operations: Generation’s fossil fleet commercial availability was 95.1 percent in the third quarter of 2008, compared with 91.6 percent in the third quarter of 2007, primarily because the fossil fleet operated at distinguished availability levels for the months of August and September. The equivalent availability factor for the hydro facilities was 90.9 percent in the third quarter of 2008, compared with 90.2 percent in the third quarter of 2007.

 

   

Potential New Nuclear Project: On September 2, 2008, Generation submitted a Combined Construction and Operating License (COL) application to the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) seeking authorization to build and operate a new dual-unit nuclear generating facility in Victoria County, Texas, should the company decide to build it. The NRC’s

 

4


 

evaluation of the application is estimated to take 3 to 4 years and involves a technical review and public hearing. A decision on the license is not expected before 2012. In addition, Generation submitted its application to the U.S. Department of Energy for a federal loan guarantee for the project, under the provisions of the Energy Policy Act of 2005.

 

   

ComEd Distribution Rate Case: On September 10, 2008, the ICC approved an approximately $274 million increase in ComEd’s distribution revenue requirement, as compared with the company’s original request on October 17, 2007 for an approximately $360 million increase. ComEd’s request for the rate increase reflected its higher operating costs and continued substantial investment in its delivery system. The ICC rate order included a 10.30 percent return on equity and a 45.04 percent equity ratio in the capital structure. ComEd believes the order represents a foundation that provides the company with an option to pursue a future test year in its next rate case.

The ICC order required ComEd to expense $37 million (pre-tax) for the disallowance of certain plant costs, partially offset by a benefit associated with recovery of certain previously incurred costs amounting to $13 million (pre-tax). A net decrease in operating income of $24 million (pre-tax) was recorded in the third quarter of 2008.

 

   

Pennsylvania Energy Legislation: On October 8, 2008, the Pennsylvania General Assembly passed House Bill No. 2200 (HB 2200), which became law on October 15 after being signed by the Governor of Pennsylvania. HB 2200 will further enhance Pennsylvania’s energy independence, enable programs to help consumers manage their energy use and smooth the transition to market-based rates for electric customers as rate caps expire. HB 2200 addresses the manner in which utilities purchase power through competitive, market-based procurement and requires certain demand-side management and energy-efficiency programs, including smart meters. PECO supports these initiatives, which provide a framework for the company to build its programs.

 

   

PECO Energy Plan Filing: On September 10, 2008, PECO filed its comprehensive Default Service Program and Rate Mitigation Plan with the PAPUC seeking approval to provide default electric service following the expiration of rate caps on December 31, 2010. The filing included: (1) PECO’s Default Service Program with competitive, full-requirements energy-supply procurement; (2) a voluntary Early Phase-In Plan allowing customers to pre-pay, with interest, expected post-electric generation rate cap increases; (3) a voluntary deferral phase-in plan allowing customers to phase-in rate increases post rate-cap expiration; and (4) an Energy Efficiency Package with energy-efficiency and demand-response programs to help PECO’s customers transition from capped electric generation rates to market-priced generation. The PAPUC will conduct a formal proceeding to give all interested parties the opportunity to examine aspects of the plan and make independent recommendations. The process is expected to take nine months. No legislation associated with the mitigation of potential impacts of electricity price increases was passed as of the conclusion of the Fall legislative session of the Pennsylvania Senate on October 8, 2008. Additionally, as a result of HB 2200, PECO will likely need to amend this filing.

 

   

PECO Gas Distribution Rate Case: On March 31, 2008, PECO filed a petition before the PAPUC for a $98 million increase to its delivery service revenue to fund critical infrastructure improvement projects for its natural gas delivery system. On August 21, 2008, PECO filed a

 

5


 

joint settlement petition with the PAPUC, signaling that it had reached an agreement with the opposing parties regarding the requested distribution rate increase. The settlement petition provides for a revenue increase of $77 million. As part of the settlement, PECO would enhance its low-income programs as well as provide funding for new energy efficiency programs. On September 18, 2008, an administrative law judge (ALJ) recommended that the settlement be approved. On October 23, 2008, the PAPUC issued its final order approving the joint settlement. The approved rate adjustment will be effective beginning January 1, 2009.

 

   

Financing Activities: On October 2, 2008, PECO issued $300 million of 5.60 percent First Mortgage Bonds due 2013. The net proceeds of the bonds were used to refinance short-term debt.

 

   

Credit Rating Actions: On October 21, 2008, Standard & Poor’s Ratings Services (S&P) lowered its corporate credit rating on Exelon Corp., Generation and PECO to “BBB” from “BBB+”. S&P lowered the senior unsecured ratings of Exelon Corp. to “BBB-” from “BBB” and of Generation to “BBB” from “BBB+”. The senior secured rating of PECO was lowered to “A-” from “A”. In addition, the ratings of Exelon Corp. and all of its subsidiaries, including ComEd, were placed on CreditWatch with negative implications. S&P indicated concerns about Exelon’s potential credit position related to the proposed offer to acquire NRG. The short-term commercial paper ratings of Exelon Corp. and all of its subsidiaries were affirmed by S&P.

Exelon is committed that its proposed transaction with NRG will not cause Exelon or its subsidiaries to go below investment grade for senior unsecured debt. The offer for NRG is the culmination of a long-term strategic review process by Exelon, and Exelon believes the combination will create superior long-term value for its stakeholders.

Exelon is fully committed to utilize excess cash flow to reduce debt following the closing of the proposed NRG transaction and return to the ratings in effect prior to the S&P downgrade on October 21. Exelon will continue to work closely with S&P and the other rating agencies to make sure they understand Exelon’s plan for paying down the debt Exelon will take onto its balance sheet at completion of the proposed acquisition of NRG, including the pay-down schedule, expected synergies, and overall plan to integrate and manage NRG’s assets.

On September 11, 2008, S&P upgraded ComEd’s corporate credit rating to “BBB-” from “BB”, its senior secured rating to “BBB+” from “BBB” and its commercial paper rating to “A-3” from “B”. ComEd’s senior unsecured rating of “BBB-” remains unchanged. According to an S&P research report, “The rating action is based on Standard & Poor’s opinion that the Illinois regulatory and political environments have returned to a credit supportive level.”

On October 3, 2008, Moody’s Investors Service (Moody’s) upgraded the long-term unsecured rating of ComEd to “Baa3” from “Ba1” and the commercial paper rating to “Prime-3” from “Not Prime”. ComEd’s senior secured rating of “Baa2” remains unchanged, and ComEd’s rating outlook is stable. A Moody’s press release indicated that “the upgrade largely reflects our assessment of the distribution rate case decision” and “also factors in the improved financial flexibility that exists at ComEd as the first mortgage collateral, which had previously secured the company’s $1 billion revolving credit facility was released and replaced by a similar sized unsecured revolving credit facility.”

OPERATING COMPANY RESULTS

Exelon Generation consists of owned and contracted electric generating facilities, wholesale energy marketing operations and competitive retail sales operations.

Third quarter 2008 net income was $635 million compared with $548 million in the third quarter of 2007. Third quarter 2008 net income included (all after tax) mark-to-market gains of $96 million from economic hedging activities before the elimination of intercompany transactions, a charge of $25 million for the costs associated with the 2007 Illinois electric rate settlement, unrealized losses of $60 million related to nuclear decommissioning trust fund investments primarily related to the AmerGen nuclear plants, and income of $15 million resulting from decreases in decommissioning obligations primarily related to the

 

6


AmerGen nuclear plants. Third quarter 2007 net income included (all after tax) a charge of $77 million for the costs associated with the 2007 Illinois electric rate settlement, income of $18 million resulting from decreases in decommissioning obligations primarily related to the AmerGen nuclear plants and a charge of $1 million for the settlement of a tax matter related to Sithe, which is reflected as discontinued operations. Excluding the impact of these items, Generation’s net income in the third quarter of 2008 increased $1 million compared with the same quarter last year, primarily due to:

 

   

higher revenue, net of purchased power and fuel expense, which reflected higher energy margins due to increased average realized market prices and increased nuclear output, partially offset by higher nuclear fuel costs.

The quarter-over-quarter increase in net income was partially offset by:

 

   

higher operating and maintenance expenses associated with inflationary and other cost pressures, including increased labor costs, higher refueling outage costs associated with a higher number of scheduled nuclear refueling outage days, and continuing work on the license application submittal for a possible new nuclear plant in Texas; and

 

   

the establishment of a reserve for Generation’s accounts receivable from Lehman.

Generation’s average realized margin on all electric sales, including sales to affiliates and excluding trading activity, was $36.54 per MWh in the third quarter of 2008 compared with $32.60 per MWh in the third quarter of 2007.

ComEd consists of the electricity transmission and distribution operations in northern Illinois.

ComEd recorded net income of $33 million in the third quarter of 2008, compared with net income of $65 million in the third quarter of 2007. Third quarter 2008 net income included an after-tax charge of $1 million for the costs associated with the 2007 Illinois electric rate settlement. Third quarter 2007 net income included a charge of $3 million (after tax) for the costs associated with the 2007 Illinois electric rate settlement, and mark-to-market gains of $1 million (after tax). Excluding the impact of these items, ComEd’s net income in the third quarter of 2008 decreased $33 million from the same quarter last year primarily due to:

 

   

the impact of unfavorable weather as compared with last year; and

 

   

higher operating and maintenance expenses, including

 

  - discrete disallowances, net of allowed regulatory assets, mandated by the September 2008 ICC order on ComEd’s 2007 distribution rate case,

 

  - increased expense for uncollectible accounts, and

 

  - increased costs related to labor and contracting.

Partially offsetting items included:

 

   

increased transmission revenue as a result of the 2007 transmission rate case (effective May 2007), with an annual adjustment that became effective in June 2008;

 

   

increased distribution revenue due to the ICC final order in the 2007 distribution rate case, which became effective in September 2008; and

 

   

decreased storm costs in the ComEd service territory.

In the ComEd service territory in the third quarter of 2008, cooling degree-days were down 16 percent relative to the same period in 2007 but were close to normal. ComEd’s total retail kWh deliveries decreased by 4.2 percent in 2008 as compared with 2007, with a 9.8 percent decrease in deliveries to the residential customer class, largely due to unfavorable weather. For ComEd, weather had an unfavorable after-tax impact of $17 million on third quarter 2008 earnings relative to 2007 and an unfavorable after-tax impact of $7 million relative to normal weather that was incorporated in earnings guidance. ComEd’s third quarter 2008 revenues of $1,729 million declined slightly from $1,758 million in 2007.

The number of customers being served in the ComEd region increased by 0.3 percent over the third quarter of 2007. Weather-normalized retail kWh deliveries decreased by 0.2 percent from the third quarter of 2007, primarily reflecting a decline in usage per customer.

PECO consists of the electricity transmission and distribution operations and the retail natural gas distribution business in southeastern Pennsylvania.

PECO’s net income in the third quarter of 2008 was $90 million, a decrease from $168 million in the third quarter of 2007. This decline was primarily due to:

 

   

increased expense for uncollectible accounts;

 

   

the impact of unfavorable weather as compared with last year;

 

   

the impact of the reduction of a liability in 2007 associated with PECO’s property taxes; and

 

   

higher CTC amortization, which was in accordance with PECO’s 1998 restructuring settlement with the PAPUC. As expected, the increase in amortization expense exceeded the increase in CTC revenues.

Partially offsetting items included:

 

   

lower income tax expense.

In the PECO service territory in the third quarter of 2008, cooling degree-days were down 6 percent from 2007 but were close to normal. Retail gas deliveries were down 1 percent from the 2007 period. Third quarter 2008 revenues were $1,441 million, down slightly from $1,459 million in 2007, primarily due to a 1.7% decrease in total retail kWh deliveries driven by the effects of unfavorable weather compared with 2007 and a reduction in PECO’s distribution rates made to refund a 2007 Pennsylvania Public Utility Realty Tax Act tax settlement to customers. For PECO, weather had an unfavorable after-tax impact of $14 million on third quarter 2008 earnings relative to 2007 and an unfavorable after-tax impact of $9 million relative to normal weather that was incorporated in earnings guidance.

The number of electric customers being served in the PECO region increased by 0.9 percent over the third quarter of 2007. Weather-normalized retail kWh deliveries increased by 0.8 percent from the third quarter of 2007, primarily reflecting an increase in residential volume sales.

Adjusted (non-GAAP) Operating Earnings

Adjusted (non-GAAP) operating earnings, which generally exclude significant one-time charges or credits that are not normally associated with ongoing operations, mark-to-market adjustments from economic hedging activities and unrealized gains and losses from nuclear decommissioning trust fund investments, are provided as a supplement to results reported in accordance with GAAP. Management uses such adjusted (non-GAAP) operating earnings measures internally to evaluate the company’s

(a) Full service reflects deliveries to customers taking electric service under tariff rates which include the cost of electricity and the cost of the transmission and distribution of the electricity.
(b) Delivery only service reflects customers electing to receive electricity from a competitive electric generation supplier. Revenue from customers choosing a competitive electric generation supplier includes a distribution charge.
(c) All ComEd customers have the choice to purchase electricity from a competitive electric supplier. This choice does not impact the volume of deliveries, but affects revenue collected from customers related to supplied electricity and generation service. As of September 30, 2008, six competitive electric suppliers had been granted approval to serve residential customers in the ComEd service territory, however there are a minimal number of residential customers being served by alternative suppliers with total activity of less than 1 GWh and $1 million.
(d) Other revenue includes transmission revenue from PJM, sales to municipalities, other wholesale energy sales and economic hedge derivative contracts.
