CHICAGO--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Exelon Corporation (Nasdaq: EXC) today reported its financial results for the second quarter of 2022.

“Exelon is the leading transmission and distribution utility company in the nation, consistently delivering reliable results, and the second quarter is no exception,” said Chris Crane, Exelon President and CEO. “Our earnings and strong reliability from our energy companies were delivered despite challenging storms. At the same time, our ability to power a cleaner and brighter future for our customers and communities signifies how essential environmental, social and governance principles are to our company and our work leading the energy transformation.”

“During the second quarter, we continued to invest capital for the benefit of our customers and communities and delivered on earnings expectations, generating Adjusted (non-GAAP) Operating Earnings of $0.44 per share,” said Joe Nigro, Exelon’s Chief Financial Officer. “These investments will improve reliability and resiliency, enhance service for our customers and prepare the grid for a clean energy future. We reaffirm our full-year Adjusted (non-GAAP) Operating Earnings guidance range of $2.18 to $2.32 per share. We also are working hard to support our jurisdictions’ more vulnerable customers in making this transition to a cleaner future. Our industry-leading efforts to connect communities to financial assistance are a testament to those efforts.”

Second Quarter 2022

Exelon's GAAP Net Income from Continuing Operations for the second quarter of 2022 increased to $0.47 per share from $0.33 GAAP Net Income from Continuing Operations per share in the second quarter of 2021. Adjusted (non-GAAP) Operating Earnings for the second quarter of 2022 increased to $0.44 per share from $0.36 per share in the second quarter of 2021. For the reconciliations of GAAP Net Income from Continuing Operations to Adjusted (non-GAAP) Operating Earnings, refer to the tables beginning on page 4.

Adjusted (non-GAAP) Operating Earnings in the second quarter of 2022 primarily reflect:

• Higher utility earnings primarily due to higher electric distribution earnings at ComEd from higher allowed electric distribution ROE due to an increase in treasury rates and higher rate base and rate increases at PECO, BGE, and PHI, partially offset by the absence of favorable weather and volume at ACE as ACE became decoupled effective July 1, 2021, higher depreciation expense at BGE and PHI, and higher credit loss expense at PHI.

• Higher earnings at the Exelon holding company due to certain BSC costs that were historically allocated to Constellation Energy Generation, LLC (Generation) but are presented as part of continuing operations in Exelon’s results in the second quarter of 2021 as these costs do not qualify as expenses of the discontinued operations per the accounting rules, partially offset by higher interest expense.

Operating Company Results1

ComEd

ComEd's second quarter of 2022 GAAP Net Income increased to $227 million from $192 million in the second quarter of 2021. ComEd's Adjusted (non-GAAP) Operating Earnings for the second quarter of 2022 increased to $229 million from $195 million in the second quarter of 2021, primarily due to increases in electric distribution formula rate earnings (reflecting higher allowed electric distribution ROE due to an increase in treasury rates and the impacts of higher rate base). Due to revenue decoupling, ComEd's distribution earnings are not affected by actual weather or customer usage patterns.

PECO

PECO’s second quarter of 2022 GAAP Net Income increased to $133 million from $104 million in the second quarter of 2021. PECO's Adjusted (non-GAAP) Operating Earnings for the second quarter of 2022 increased to $134 million from $107 million in the second quarter of 2021, primarily due to distribution rate increases.

BGE

BGE’s second quarter of 2022 GAAP Net Income decreased to $37 million from $45 million in the second quarter of 2021. BGE's Adjusted (non-GAAP) Operating Earnings for the second quarter of 2022 decreased to $38 million from $48 million in the second quarter of 2021, primarily due to an increase in depreciation expense, partially offset by favorable impacts of the multi-year plans. Due to revenue decoupling, BGE's distribution earnings are not affected by actual weather or customer usage patterns.

PHI

PHI’s second quarter of 2022 GAAP Net Income decreased to $100 million from $141 million in the second quarter of 2021. PHI’s Adjusted (non-GAAP) Operating Earnings for the second quarter of 2022 decreased to $101 million from $144 million in the second quarter of 2021, primarily due to the absence of favorable weather and volume at ACE as ACE became decoupled effective July 1, 2021, an increase in depreciation expense, credit loss expense, contracting costs partially due to timing of maintenance projects, and timing of excess deferred tax amortization, partially offset by distribution rate increases. Due to revenue decoupling, PHI's distribution earnings related to Pepco Maryland, DPL Maryland, Pepco District of Columbia, and ACE are not affected by actual weather or customer usage patterns.

Recent Developments and Second Quarter Highlights

• DPL Maryland Electric Base Rate Case: On May 19, 2022, DPL filed an application for a three-year cumulative multi-year plan for January 1, 2023 through Dec. 31, 2025 with the MDPSC to increase its electric distribution rates by $23 million effective Jan. 1, 2023, $8 million effective January 1, 2024, and $7 million effective January 1, 2025, to recover capital investments made in 2021 and planned capital investments through the end of 2025, reflecting an ROE of 10.25%. DPL is proposing the acceleration of refunds for certain tax benefits to partially offset the customer rate increases by $12 million and $8 million in 2023 and 2024, respectively. DPL currently expects a decision in the fourth quarter of 2022, but cannot predict if the MDPSC will approve the application as filed.

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: www.exeloncorp.com, and have been furnished to the Securities and Exchange Commission on Form 8-K on Aug. 3, 2022.
