“As we close out our 25th anniversary year, I am pleased to report that Exelon delivered strong operational and financial performance in 2025,” said Exelon President and Chief Executive Officer Calvin Butler. “We remain committed to balancing the investments needed to meet tomorrow’s energy demands while keeping our customers at the center of every decision. Through our customer programs and disciplined focus on cost and operational excellence, we continued to maintain customer bills below the national average. We look forward to building on this momentum in 2026 – delivering and advocating for safe, reliable and affordable energy solutions while strengthening the communities we proudly serve.”

“Exelon's financial performance in 2025 exceeded expectations, with full-year adjusted operating earnings of $2.77 per share, sustaining a 100% track record of annual outperformance as a standalone utility,” said Exelon Chief Financial Officer Jeanne Jones. “With a $41.3 billion four-year capital plan and 7.9% rate base growth, we are well-positioned to deliver annualized earnings growth near the top end of 5% to 7% through 2029. As we continue to make the critical investments needed to modernize our energy infrastructure, we remain focused on supporting our customers by providing reliable and resilient service, maintaining a sharp focus on cost management, and advocating for policies that advance customer equity and energy supply solutions.”

Fourth Quarter 2025

Exelon's GAAP net income for the fourth quarter of 2025 decreased to $0.58 per share from $0.64 per share in the fourth quarter of 2024. Adjusted (non-GAAP) operating earnings for the fourth quarter of 2025 decreased to $0.59 per share from $0.64 per share in the fourth quarter of 2024. For the reconciliations of GAAP net income to Adjusted (non-GAAP) operating earnings, refer to the tables beginning on page 5.

GAAP net income and Adjusted (non-GAAP) operating earnings in the fourth quarter of 2025 primarily reflect:

  • Higher utility earnings primarily due to distribution and transmission rates at ComEd and PHI, distribution rates at PECO and BGE, higher AFUDC at ComEd, favorable weather at PECO, and impacts of the multi-year plan reconciliation at BGE. This was partially offset by higher income taxes, contracting costs, depreciation expense, and an absence of the storm cost deferral at PECO, higher contracting costs at PHI, higher interest expense at PECO and BGE, and timing of distribution earnings at ComEd.
  • Higher costs at the Exelon holding company primarily due to higher interest expense, charitable contributions, and the Customer Relief Fund contribution. This was partially offset by lower income taxes.

Full Year 2025

Exelon's GAAP net income for 2025 increased to $2.73 per share from $2.45 per share in 2024. Adjusted (non-GAAP) operating earnings for 2025 increased to $2.77 per share from $2.50 per share in 2024.

GAAP net income and Adjusted (non-GAAP) operating earnings for the full year 2025 primarily reflect:

  • Higher utility earnings primarily due to distribution rates at PECO and BGE, distribution and transmission rates at ComEd and PHI, favorable weather at PECO, a higher return on regulatory assets primarily due to an increase in asset balances and higher AFUDC at ComEd, lower income taxes at PECO, and lower storm costs and impacts of the multi-year plan reconciliation at BGE. This was partially offset by higher interest expense at PECO, BGE, and PHI; higher depreciation expense at PECO and PHI; higher contracting costs at PECO and PHI; lower transmission peak load at ComEd; absence of the Pepco multi-year plan reconciliations; and lower AFUDC at PHI.
  • Higher costs at the Exelon holding company primarily due to the Customer Relief Fund contribution, higher interest expense, charitable contributions, and higher income taxes.

Operating Company Results1

ComEd

ComEd's fourth quarter of 2025 GAAP net income increased to $244 million from $243 million in the fourth quarter of 2024. ComEd's Adjusted (non-GAAP) operating earnings for the fourth quarter of 2025 increased to $252 million from $243 million in the fourth quarter of 2024, primarily due to an increase in distribution and transmission rate base driven by incremental investments to serve customers and an increase in allowance for funds used during construction (AFUDC), partially offset by the timing of distribution earnings. Due to revenue decoupling, ComEd's distribution earnings are not intended to be affected by actual weather or customer usage patterns.

PECO

PECO’s fourth quarter of 2025 GAAP net income decreased to $162 million from $195 million in the fourth quarter of 2024. PECO's Adjusted (non-GAAP) operating earnings for the fourth quarter of 2025 decreased to $162 million from $196 million in the fourth quarter of 2024, primarily due to an increase in income taxes due to tax repairs, an absence of the storm cost deferral, an increase in contracting costs, and an increase in depreciation and interest expense, partially offset by electric and gas distribution rates associated with updated recovery of investments to serve customers and favorable weather.

BGE

BGE’s fourth quarter of 2025 GAAP net income increased to $180 million from $175 million in the fourth quarter of 2024. BGE's Adjusted (non-GAAP) operating earnings for the fourth quarter of 2025 increased to $181 million from $175 million in the fourth quarter of 2024, primarily due to distribution rates associated with updated recovery of investments to serve customers and impacts of the multi-year plan reconciliation, partially offset by an increase in interest expense. Due to revenue decoupling, BGE's distribution earnings are not intended to be affected by actual weather or customer usage patterns.

PHI

PHI’s fourth quarter of 2025 GAAP net income increased to $171 million from $138 million in the fourth quarter of 2024. PHI’s Adjusted (non-GAAP) operating earnings for the fourth quarter of 2025 increased to $171 million from $132 million in the fourth quarter of 2024, primarily due to distribution and transmission rates driven by updated recovery of investments to serve customers. Due to revenue decoupling, PHI's distribution earnings related to Pepco Maryland, DPL Maryland, Pepco District of Columbia, and ACE are not intended to be affected by actual weather or customer usage patterns.

___________

Note:

Amounts may not sum due to rounding.

Unless otherwise noted, the income tax impact of each reconciling item between GAAP net income and Adjusted (non-GAAP) operating earnings is based on the marginal statutory federal and state income tax rates for each Registrant, taking into account whether the income or expense item is taxable or deductible, respectively, in whole or in part. For all items, the marginal statutory income tax rates for 2025 and 2024 ranged from 24.0% to 29.0%.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In addition to net income as determined under generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (GAAP), Exelon evaluates its operating performance using the measure of Adjusted (non-GAAP) operating earnings because management believes it represents earnings directly related to the ongoing operations of the business. Adjusted (non-GAAP) operating earnings exclude certain costs, expenses, gains and losses, and other specified items. This measure is intended to enhance an investor’s overall understanding of period over period operating results and provide an indication of Exelon’s baseline operating performance excluding items that are considered by management to be not directly related to the ongoing operations of the business. In addition, this measure is among the primary indicators management uses as a basis for evaluating performance, allocating resources, setting incentive compensation targets, and planning and forecasting of future periods. Adjusted (non-GAAP) operating earnings is not a presentation defined under GAAP and may not be comparable to other companies’ presentation. Exelon has provided the non-GAAP financial measure as supplemental information and in addition to the financial measures that are calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP. Adjusted (non-GAAP) operating earnings should not be deemed more useful than, a substitute for, or an alternative to the most comparable GAAP net income measures provided in this earnings release and attachments. This press release and earnings release attachments provide reconciliations of Adjusted (non-GAAP) operating earnings to the most directly comparable financial measures calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP, are posted on Exelon’s website: https://investors.exeloncorp.com, and have been furnished to the Securities and Exchange Commission on Form 8-K on Feb. 12, 2026.

Cautionary Statements Regarding Forward-Looking Information

This press release contains certain forward-looking statements within the meaning of federal securities laws that are subject to risks and uncertainties. Words such as “could,” “may,” “expects,” “anticipates,” “will,” “targets,” “goals,” “projects,” “intends,” “plans,” “believes,” “seeks,” “estimates,” “predicts,” “should,” and variations on such words, and similar expressions that reflect our current views with respect to future events and operational, economic, and financial performance, are intended to identify such forward-looking statements. Accordingly, any such statements are qualified in their entirety by reference to, and are accompanied by, the following important factors that may cause our actual results or outcomes to differ materially from those contained in our forward-looking statements, including, but not limited to: unfavorable legislative and/or regulatory actions; uncertainty as to outcomes and timing of regulatory approval proceedings and/or negotiated settlements thereof; environmental liabilities and remediation costs; state and federal legislation requiring use of low-emission, renewable, and/or alternate fuel sources and/or mandating implementation of energy conservation programs requiring implementation of new technologies; challenges to tax positions taken, tax law changes, and difficulty in quantifying potential tax effects of business decisions; negative outcomes in legal proceedings; physical security and cybersecurity risks; extreme weather events, natural disasters, operational accidents such as wildfires or natural gas explosions, war, acts and threats of terrorism, public health crises, epidemics, pandemics, or other significant events; disruptions or cost increases in the supply chain, including shortages in labor, materials or parts, or significant increases in relevant tariffs; lack of sufficient power generation resources to meet actual or forecasted demand or disruptions at generation facilities owned by third parties; emerging technologies that could affect or transform the energy industry; instability in capital and credit markets; a downgrade of any Registrant’s credit ratings or other failure to satisfy the credit standards in the Registrants’ agreements or regulatory financial requirements; significant economic downturns or increases in customer rates; impacts of climate change and weather on energy usage and maintenance and capital costs; and impairment of long-lived assets, goodwill, and other assets.

New factors emerge from time to time, and it is impossible for us to predict all of such factors, nor can we assess the impact of each such factor on the business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements. For more information, see those factors discussed with respect to Exelon Corporation, Commonwealth Edison Company, PECO Energy Company, Baltimore Gas and Electric Company, Pepco Holdings LLC, Potomac Electric Power Company, Delmarva Power & Light Company, and Atlantic City Electric Company (Registrants) in the Registrants' most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K, including in Part I, ITEM 1A, any subsequent Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, and in other reports filed by the Registrants from time to time with the SEC.
