Exelon Announces Third Quarter Results;

Narrows Full Year 2009 Earnings Guidance

CHICAGO (October 23, 2009) – Exelon Corporation (NYSE: EXC) today announced that its third quarter 2009 consolidated earnings prepared in accordance with GAAP were $757 million, or $1.14 per diluted share, compared with earnings of $700 million, or $1.06 per diluted share, in the third quarter of 2008.

Exelon’s adjusted (non-GAAP) operating earnings for the third quarter of 2009 were $633 million, or $0.96 per diluted share, compared with $706 million, or $1.07 per diluted share, for the same period in 2008.

“We are achieving our financial commitments despite difficult weather, economic and market conditions,” said John W. Rowe, Exelon’s chairman and CEO. “We continue to deliver cost savings and solid operations as shown by a 94.7 percent nuclear capacity factor for the third quarter and reliable utility performance through the critical summer months. We remain committed to achieving full year 2009 operating earnings within the guidance range we issued last fall and are narrowing that range to $4.00 to $4.10 per share.”

The decrease in third quarter 2009 adjusted (non-GAAP) operating earnings to $0.96 per share from $1.07 per share in third quarter 2008 was primarily due to:

 

   

Lower energy gross margins at Exelon Generation Company, LLC (Generation) largely due to unfavorable portfolio and market conditions;

 

   

Higher costs at Generation associated with a higher number of scheduled nuclear refueling outage days;

 

   

Reversal of benefits recorded in the first quarter of 2009 related to an Illinois investment tax credit ruling;

 

1


   

Reduced load at Commonwealth Edison Company (ComEd) and PECO Energy Company (PECO), primarily driven by the impact of unfavorable weather conditions and current economic conditions; and

 

   

Increased depreciation and amortization expense primarily related to the higher scheduled competitive transition charge (CTC) amortization at PECO and increased depreciation across the operating companies due to ongoing capital expenditures.

Lower third quarter 2009 earnings were partially offset by:

 

   

Increased electric distribution revenue at ComEd resulting from the September 2008 distribution rate case order; and

 

   

Decreased operating and maintenance expense largely due to savings achieved through the ongoing cost management initiative and lower uncollectible accounts expense at PECO, partially offset by increased pension and other postretirement benefits (OPEB) expense.

Adjusted (non-GAAP) operating earnings for the third quarter of 2009 do not include the following items (after-tax) that were included in reported GAAP earnings:

 

   

Unrealized gains of $87 million, or $0.13 per diluted share, related to nuclear decommissioning trust (NDT) fund investments;

 

   

Mark-to-market gains of $77 million, or $0.12 per diluted share, primarily from Generation’s economic hedging activities;

 

   

Costs totaling $58 million, or $0.09 per diluted share, associated with early debt retirements;

 

   

Income of $32 million, or $0.05 per diluted share, resulting from the reduction in Generation’s decommissioning obligations;

 

   

Costs of $11 million, or $0.02 per diluted share, associated with the 2007 Illinois electric rate settlement agreement;

 

   

External costs of $6 million, or $0.01 per diluted share, related to Exelon’s terminated offer to acquire NRG Energy, Inc. (NRG); and

 

   

Income of $3 million for the true-up of severance costs as a result of headcount reductions associated with Exelon’s cost management program.

Adjusted (non-GAAP) operating earnings for the third quarter of 2008 did not include the following items (after-tax) 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;

 

   

Costs of $26 million, or $0.04 per diluted share, associated with the 2007 Illinois electric rate settlement agreement;

 

   

Unrealized losses of $60 million, or $0.09 per diluted share, related to NDT fund investments; and

 

   

Income of $15 million, or $0.02 per diluted share, resulting from the reduction in Generation’s decommissioning obligations.

2009 Earnings Outlook

Exelon narrowed its guidance range for 2009 adjusted (non-GAAP) operating earnings to $4.00 to $4.10 per share from $4.00 to $4.30 per share. Operating earnings guidance is based on the assumption of normal weather for the remainder of the year.

The outlook for 2009 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 NDT fund investments primarily related to the Clinton, Oyster Creek and Three Mile Island nuclear plants (the former AmerGen units)

 

   

Significant impairments of assets, including goodwill

 

   

Changes in decommissioning obligation estimates

 

   

Costs associated with the 2007 Illinois electric rate settlement agreement

 

   

Costs associated with ComEd’s 2007 settlement with the City of Chicago

 

   

Costs incurred for employee severance related to the cost reduction program announced in June 2009

 

   

Costs associated with early debt retirements

 

   

External costs associated with the terminated offer to acquire NRG

 

   

Non-cash remeasurement of income tax uncertainties and reassessment of state deferred income taxes

 

   

Other unusual items

 

   

Significant future changes to GAAP

Third Quarter and Recent Highlights

 

   

Nuclear Operations: Generation’s nuclear fleet, including its owned output from the Salem Generating Station, produced 35,684 gigawatt-hours (GWh) in the third quarter of 2009, compared with 36,451 GWh in the third quarter of 2008. The Exelon-operated nuclear plants achieved a 94.7 percent capacity factor for the third quarter of 2009 compared with 97.2 percent for the third quarter of 2008. The Exelon-operated nuclear plants began two scheduled refueling outages in the third quarter of 2009, compared with beginning one scheduled refueling outage in the third quarter of 2008. The number of refueling outage days totaled 36 and 17, respectively, in the third quarter of 2009 and 2008. Also contributing to lower total nuclear output was a higher number of non-refueling outage days at the Exelon-operated plants, which totaled 21 days in the third quarter of 2009, compared to 8 days in the third quarter of 2008.

 

   

Fossil and Hydro Operations: Generation’s fossil fleet commercial availability was 87.0 percent in the third quarter of 2009, compared with 95.1 percent in the third quarter of 2008, primarily reflecting the impact of extended maintenance outages in 2009. The equivalent availability factor for the hydroelectric facilities was 97.1 percent in the third quarter of 2009, compared with 90.9 percent in the third quarter of 2008, primarily due to an extended planned outage in 2008 to overhaul one of the Conowingo units.

 

3


   

Three Mile Island (TMI) Unit 1 Nuclear Plant License Extension: On October 22, 2009, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission approved a 20-year operating license extension until April 19, 2034 for the TMI Unit 1 Generating Station. TMI Unit 1 began operating in 1974.

 

   

Hedging Update: Exelon’s hedging program involves the hedging of commodity risk for Exelon’s expected generation, typically on a ratable basis over a three-year period. Expected generation represents the amount of energy estimated to be generated or purchased through owned or contracted-for capacity. The proportion of expected generation hedged as of September 30, 2009 is 98-100 percent for 2009, 88-91 percent for 2010 and 63-66 percent for 2011. The primary objective of Exelon’s hedging program is to manage market risks and protect the value of its generation and its investment grade balance sheet while preserving its ability to participate in improving long-term market fundamentals.

 

   

ComEd Smart Meter/Smart Grid Plan: On June 1, 2009, ComEd filed a petition with the Illinois Commerce Commission (ICC) recommending a one-year Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI) pilot program. Current plans call for the deployment of approximately 131,000 smart meters in 10 suburban communities and in the City of Chicago, and will include tests of customers’ responses to alternative pricing plans, in-home displays and Home Area Network control systems. ComEd requested recovery of and a return on its investment through a rider beginning in 2010. On October 14, 2009, the ICC approved ComEd’s AMI pilot program and rider with minor modifications.

On August 4, 2009, ComEd announced it filed an application with the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) for $175 million in matching funds made available under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009. The matching funds would enable an expansion of the company’s AMI pilot, from approximately 131,000 customers to 310,000 customers, and additional investments in Smart Grid technologies. The DOE is expected to select projects for funding later this year.

On September 2, 2009, ComEd submitted a petition to the ICC requesting recovery of the remaining costs of the stimulus projects after receiving the matching funds from the DOE.

 

   

Illinois Uncollectibles Recovery Rider: On August 9, 2009, Illinois Governor Pat Quinn signed legislation that includes assistance to low-income customers to manage their energy bills. In addition, the legislation includes a provision for utilities to recover their actual uncollectible accounts expenses through a rider adjustment mechanism. The rider would minimize regulatory lag during times when uncollectible accounts expenses are increasing beyond what is recovered through base rates and provide credits when lower than what is covered in base rates. On September 8, 2009, ComEd filed a proposed tariff with the ICC to implement this rider. An ICC decision is expected in the first quarter of 2010.

 

   

PECO Smart Meter/Smart Grid Plan: PECO is planning to spend up to approximately $650 million on its smart meter and smart grid infrastructure. On August 14, 2009, PECO filed its $550 million Smart Meter Procurement and Installation Plan with the Pennsylvania Public Utility Commission (PAPUC) in accordance with the requirements of Pennsylvania Act 129. PECO is requesting PAPUC approval to install more than 1.6 million smart meters and deploy advanced

 

4


communication networks over a 15-year period. The first phase of the plan includes the procurement and deployment of automated meter infrastructure and initial deployment of 100,000 smart meters over the next three years.

On August 6, 2009, PECO filed with the DOE its application seeking $200 million in American Recovery and Reinvestment Act grant funds under the Smart Grid Investment Grant Program. PECO’s “Smart Future Greater Philadelphia” project will increase the number of smart meters initially installed to 600,000, accelerate universal meter deployment by five years and increase Smart Grid investments up to approximately $100 million over the next three years.

 

   

PECO Energy Procurement: On September 23, 2009, the PAPUC approved the results of PECO’s second competitive procurement request for proposal (RFP) for residential customers and its initial generation supply procurement for the small and medium commercial classes. The September procurements for the residential class included full requirements fixed price contracts for 17-month and 29-month periods beginning January 1, 2011, and forward purchase block contracts to procure electric generation for the 12-month period beginning January 1, 2011. The procurements for the small and medium commercial classes included full requirements fixed-price contracts for the 17-month period beginning January 1, 2011.

The June and September procurements combined accounted for approximately 49 percent of the total full requirements electricity needed for PECO’s residential customers beginning in 2011 at an average retail price of 9.41 cents per kilowatt-hour (kWh), about a 4 percent increase compared to current prices. The September procurement accounted for approximately 24 percent and 16 percent of the full requirement fixed-price product for PECO’s small and medium commercial customers, respectively, at an average blended retail price of 9.79 cents per kWh. PECO’s next supply purchases for the residential and the small and medium commercial classes will take place in May 2010.

 

   

Pension Contribution: On September 9, 2009, Exelon announced that it was making a $350 million discretionary pension contribution allocated to the 2008 plan year, taking advantage of Federal pension funding relief provided by the Worker, Retiree and Employer Recovery Act of 2008 that allows use of average expected returns to establish asset values for determining funding requirements. The U.S. Treasury Department also has provided some funding relief through options in selecting the interest rates used for funding. The discretionary pension contribution – funded with cash from operations in excess of Exelon’s original 2009 plan – and Exelon’s pension funding elections will lower near-term mandatory pension contributions, which should increase future financial flexibility.

 

   

Financing Activities: On September 23, 2009, Generation issued $600 million of Senior Notes maturing on October 1, 2019, with a coupon of 5.20 percent and $900 million of Senior Notes maturing on October 1, 2039, with a coupon of 6.25 percent. Generation used the net proceeds from the sale (1) to pay approximately $622 million of principal, premium and accrued interest in connection with the purchase of approximately $555 million in aggregate principal amount of its 6.95 percent Notes due June 15, 2011 pursuant to Generation’s cash tender offer announced on September 16, 2009, (2) for a $432 million distribution to Exelon Corporation to fund its purchase of approximately $387 million in aggregate principal amount of its 6.75 percent Senior

 

5


Notes due May 1, 2011 pursuant to its cash tender offer announced on September 16, 2009, and (3) to fund Generation’s repurchase of $307 million of pollution-control bonds in early September. On September 23, 2009, Exelon Corporation and Generation called the remaining bonds that were not tendered pursuant to their tender offers, according to the terms of the respective bond issues. These bonds are obligated to be tendered today under the terms of the bonds and the call notices. Through these debt repurchase and refinancing activities, Exelon was able to capitalize on favorable market conditions, resulting in lower interest expense and an extended debt maturity profile.

 

   

Credit Rating Actions: Following the termination of Exelon’s proposed offer for NRG on July 21, 2009, the rating agencies took the following actions.

On July 21, 2009, Fitch Ratings, Ltd. removed Exelon and Generation from Ratings Watch Negative. The ratings for Exelon and Generation were affirmed and each entity was assigned a Stable Ratings Outlook.

On July 22, 2009, Standard & Poor’s Ratings Services (S&P) affirmed its corporate credit rating on Exelon, Generation and PECO of “BBB” and removed their ratings from CreditWatch Negative. In addition, S&P raised the corporate credit rating of ComEd to “BBB” from “BBB-”, raised its debt and preferred stock ratings and removed its ratings from CreditWatch Negative. An S&P research report cited “improvement in both ComEd’s business risk profile and its financial measures”. The outlook for ratings of all the Exelon entities is stable.

On July 23, 2009, Moody’s Investors Service (Moody’s) confirmed the ratings of Exelon and Generation and assigned a stable outlook. Moody’s also confirmed the long-term debt rating of PECO but downgraded its short-term rating to “P-2” from “P-1” and changed the outlook on PECO’s long-term debt to negative.

On August 3, 2009, Moody’s changed its credit rating methodology, widening the notching between most senior secured debt ratings and senior unsecured debt ratings of investment grade regulated utilities. As a result, Moody’s upgraded ComEd’s senior secured debt rating to “Baa1” from “Baa2”.

OPERATING COMPANY RESULTS

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

Third quarter 2009 net income was $657 million compared with $635 million in the third quarter of 2008. Third quarter 2009 net income included (all after tax) costs of $9 million associated with the 2007 Illinois electric rate settlement, mark-to-market gains of $77 million from economic hedging activities before the elimination of intercompany transactions, unrealized gains of $87 million related to NDT fund investments, income of $32 million resulting from the reduction in decommissioning obligations primarily related to the former AmerGen nuclear plants, income of $2 million from the true-up of 2009 costs incurred for severance, and costs of $36 million associated with the early retirement of long-term debt. Third quarter 2008 net income included (all after tax) costs of $25 million associated with the

 

6


2007 Illinois electric rate settlement, mark-to-market gains of $96 million from economic hedging activities before the elimination of intercompany transactions, unrealized losses of $60 million related to NDT fund investments primarily related to the former AmerGen nuclear plants, and income of $15 million resulting from the reduction in decommissioning obligations primarily related to the former AmerGen nuclear plants. Excluding the impact of these items, Generation’s net income in the third quarter of 2009 decreased $105 million compared with the same quarter last year primarily due to:

 

   

Lower energy gross margins, largely due to unfavorable portfolio and market conditions, decreased nuclear output as a result of a higher number of refueling and non-refueling outage days and higher nuclear fuel costs; and

 

   

Higher costs related to a higher number of scheduled nuclear refueling outage days and increased pension and OPEB expense.

The decrease in net income was partially offset by:

 

   

Establishment of a reserve in 2008 related to Generation’s accounts receivable from Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc. due to its bankruptcy filing; and

 

   

Savings achieved through the cost management initiative.

Generation’s average realized margin on all electric sales, including sales to affiliates and excluding trading activity, was $36.32 per MWh in the third quarter of 2009 compared with $36.54 per MWh in the third quarter of 2008.

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

ComEd recorded net income of $46 million in the third quarter of 2009, compared with net income of $33 million in the third quarter of 2008. Third quarter net income in 2009 and 2008 included costs of $2 million and $1 million after tax, respectively, associated with the Illinois electric rate settlement. Excluding the impact of these items, ComEd’s net income in the third quarter of 2009 increased $14 million from the same quarter last year primarily due to:

 

   

Increased distribution revenue due to the September 2008 distribution rate case order;

 

   

Lower operating and maintenance expense, which primarily reflected savings achieved through the cost management initiative and the impact of decreased storm costs, partially offset by increased pension and OPEB expense; and

 

   

Discrete disallowances recorded in 2008, net of allowed regulatory assets, mandated by the September 2008 rate case order.

The increase in net income was partially offset by:

 

   

Reversal of an Illinois investment tax credit ruling – this benefit previously was recorded in the first quarter of 2009; and

 

   

Reduced load, primarily driven by the impact of unfavorable weather conditions and current economic conditions.

 

7


In the third quarter of 2009, cooling degree-days in the ComEd service territory were down 34.2 percent relative to the same period in 2008, and were 34.0 percent below normal. This reflected the Chicago area’s coolest summer weather in 17 years. ComEd’s total retail kilowatt-hour (kWh) deliveries decreased by 9.8 percent quarter over quarter, with declines in deliveries to all major customer classes. In addition, the number of residential customers being served in the ComEd region decreased 0.5 percent from the third quarter of 2008.

Weather-normalized retail kWh deliveries decreased by 3.8 percent from the third quarter of 2008. For ComEd, weather had an unfavorable after-tax impact of $18 million on third quarter 2009 earnings relative to 2008 and an unfavorable after-tax impact of $24 million relative to normal weather that was incorporated in earnings guidance.

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 2009 was $92 million, up from $90 million in the third quarter of 2008. This increase was primarily due to:

 

   

Lower uncollectible accounts expense.

The increase in net income was partially offset by:

 

   

Reduced load, primarily driven by the impact of current economic conditions and unfavorable weather conditions; 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.

In the third quarter of 2009, cooling degree-days in the PECO service territory were down 6.2 percent from 2008, and were 5.9 percent below normal. Total retail kWh deliveries were down 5.6 percent from last year, reflecting a decline in deliveries across all customer classes, primarily driven by the impact of current economic conditions and unfavorable weather conditions. The number of residential electric customers being served in the PECO region decreased 0.4 percent from the third quarter of 2008.

Weather-normalized retail kWh deliveries decreased by 3.9 percent from the third quarter of 2008, primarily reflecting decreased residential and large commercial and industrial deliveries. For PECO, weather had an unfavorable after-tax impact of $9 million on third quarter 2009 earnings relative to 2008 and an unfavorable after-tax impact of $19 million relative to normal weather that was incorporated in earnings guidance.

Adjusted (non-GAAP) Operating Earnings

(3) Primarily reflects the impact of unfavorable 2009 weather conditions, compared to 2008, in the ComEd and PECO service territories.
(4) For ComEd, reflects the impact of increased distribution rates effective September 2008, partially offset by reduced load. For PECO, reflects reduced load, partially offset by increased gas distribution rates effective January 2009.
(5) For Generation, reflects the impact of a reserve recorded in 2008 for counterparty exposure to Lehman Brothers Holdings, Inc. For ComEd, reflects an increase in uncollectible accounts, in part as a result of the current overall negative economic conditions, partially mitigated by ComEd’s increased collection activities in 2009. For PECO, reflects the impact of improved accounts receivable aging as a result of enhancements to its credit processes and increased termination and collection activities in late 2008 and 2009.
(6) Primarily reflects Exelon’s ongoing cost savings initiative, partially offset by inflation related to labor, contracting and materials expenses (exclusive of planned nuclear refueling outages as disclosed in number 9 below).
(7) Primarily reflects decreased storm costs in 2009 in the ComEd and PECO service territories.
(8) Reflects increased pension and non-pension postretirement benefits expense primarily due to lower than expected asset returns in 2008.

Represents an approximate range of expected gross margin, taking into account hedges in place, between the 5th and 95th percentile confidence levels.  Approximate gross margin
ranges are based upon an internal simulation model and are subject to change based upon market inputs, future transactions and potential modeling changes. These ranges of
approximate gross margin in 2010 and 2011 do not represent earnings guidance or a forecast of future results as Exelon has not completed its planning or optimization processes for
those years. The price distributions that generate this range are calibrated to market quotes for power, fuel, load following products and options as of September 30, 2009.
Percent of expected generation hedged represents how many equivalent MW have been hedged at forward market prices as of September 30, 2009;  all hedge products used are
converted to an equivalent average MW volume and the calculation considers whether hedges are power sales or financial products.
Hedging Update
The primary objective of Exelon’s hedging program is to manage market risks and
protect the value of our generation and investment-grade balance sheet while
preserving our ability to participate in improving long-term market fundamentals
We typically follow a 36-month ratable
hedging program
As we execute our hedging program, our
percent of expected generation hedged
increases and our potential range of
earnings outcomes narrows as we move
closer to the delivery year

Important Information
The following slides are intended to provide additional information regarding the hedging
program at Exelon Generation and to serve as an aid for the purposes of modeling Exelon
Generation’s gross margin (operating revenues less purchased power and fuel expense). The
information on the following slides is not intended to represent earnings guidance or a
forecast of future events.  In fact, many of the factors that ultimately will determine Exelon
Generation’s actual gross margin are based upon highly variable market factors outside of our
control.  The information on the following slides is as of September 30, 2009. Exelon plans to
update these hedging disclosures on a quarterly basis.
Certain information on the following slides is based upon an internal simulation model that
incorporates assumptions regarding future market conditions, including power and
commodity prices, heat rates, and demand conditions, in addition to operating performance
and dispatch characteristics of our generating fleet.  Our simulation model and the
assumptions therein are subject to change.  For example, actual market conditions and the
dispatch profile of our generation fleet in future periods will likely differ – and may differ
significantly – from the assumptions underlying the simulation results included in the slides. 
In addition, the forward-looking information included in the following slides will likely change
over time due to continued refinement of our simulation model and changes in our views on
future market conditions.

Portfolio Management Objective
Align Hedging Activities with Financial Commitments
Power Team utilizes several product
types and channels to market
Wholesale and retail sales
Block products
Load-following products
and load auctions
Put/call options
Exelon’s hedging program is designed to
protect the long-term value of our
generating fleet and maintain an
investment-grade balance sheet
Hedge enough commodity risk to meet future cash
requirements if prices drop
Consider:  financing policy (credit rating objectives,
capital structure, liquidity); spending (capital and
O&M); shareholder value return policy
Consider market, credit, operational risk
Approach to managing volatility
Increase hedging as delivery approaches
Have enough supply to meet peak load
Purchase fossil fuels as power is sold
Choose hedging products based on generation
portfolio –
sell what we own
Heat rate options
Fuel products
Capacity
Renewable credits
By design, our hedging program allows us to weather short-term, adverse market conditions 
while positioning us to participate in long-term upside potential

Exelon Generation Open Gross Margin and
Reference Prices
Based on September 30, 2009 market conditions
(1)
Gross margin is defined as operating revenues less fuel expense and purchased power expense, excluding the impact of decommissioning and other incidental revenues.
Open gross margin is estimated based upon an internal model that is developed by dispatching our expected generation to current market power and fossil fuel prices. 
Open gross margin assumes there is no hedging in place other than fixed assumptions for capacity cleared in the RPM auctions and uranium costs for nuclear power
plants.  Open gross margin contains assumptions for other gross margin line items such as various ISO bill and ancillary revenues and costs and PPA capacity payments.
The estimation of open gross margin incorporates management discretion and modeling assumptions that are subject to change.

Generation Profile
(1)
Expected generation represents the amount of energy estimated to be generated or purchased through owned or contracted for capacity.  Expected generation is based
upon a simulated dispatch model that makes assumptions regarding future market conditions, which are calibrated to market quotes for power, fuel, load following products,
and options.  Expected generation assumes 10 refueling outages in 2009 and 2010 and 11 refueling outages in 2011 at Exelon-operated nuclear plants and Salem. 
Expected generation assumes capacity factors of  93.6%, 93.5% and 92.8% in 2009, 2010 and 2011 at Exelon-operated nuclear plants. These estimates of expected
generation in 2010 and 2011 do not represent guidance or a forecast of future results as Exelon has not completed its planning or optimization processes for those years.
(2)
Percent of expected generation hedged is the amount of equivalent sales divided by the expected generation.  Includes all hedging products, such as wholesale and retail
sales of power, options, and swaps.  Uses expected value on options.
(3)
Effective realized energy price is representative of an all-in hedged price, on a per MWh basis, at which expected generation has been hedged.  It is developed by
considering the energy revenues and costs associated with our hedges and by considering the fossil fuel that has been purchased to lock in margin. It excludes uranium
costs and RPM capacity revenue, but includes the mark-to-market value of capacity contracted at prices other than RPM clearing prices including our load obligations.  It can
be compared with the reference prices used to calculate open gross margin in order to determine the mark-to-market value of Exelon Generation's energy hedges.

Represents an approximate range of expected gross margin, taking into account hedges in place, between the 5th and 95th percentile confidence levels.  Approximate gross margin
ranges are based upon an internal simulation model and are subject to change based upon market inputs, future transactions and potential modeling changes. These ranges of
approximate gross margin in 2010 and 2011 do not represent earnings guidance or a forecast of future results as Exelon has not completed its planning or optimization processes for
those years. The price distributions that generate this range are calibrated to market quotes for power, fuel, load following products, and options as of September 30, 2009.
