Constellation Energy Reports Third Quarter 2005 Earnings

Delivers solid results amid a significant increase in commodity prices and extreme weather

Reaffirms 2005 guidance for adjusted earnings of $3.35 to $3.60 per share

                BALTIMORE, Oct. 28, 2005 - Constellation Energy (NYSE: CEG) today reported third quarter 2005 adjusted earnings of $1.16 per share, at the top of management’s guidance range of $1.02 to $1.17 per share. Adjusted earnings exclude the impact of special items and certain economic hedges that do not qualify for hedge accounting. Compared to the third quarter of last year, adjusted earnings per share were four cents lower.  On a GAAP basis, the company’s reported earnings were $1.03 per share in the third quarter of 2005, compared to $1.19 per share during the same quarter last year. Constellation Energy also reaffirmed 2005 guidance for adjusted earnings of $3.35 to $3.60 per share.

                “Constellation Energy delivered strong financial results despite a third quarter in which hot weather in many regions drove strong load demand and Gulf Coast hurricanes fueled a significant rise in commodity prices,” said Mayo A. Shattuck III, chairman, president and chief executive officer of Constellation Energy. “We once again demonstrated that our strong risk management capabilities enable us to succeed in this type of environment.

                “The past quarter also was marked by the formation of UniStar Nuclear, a joint enterprise with AREVA Inc. that provides the business framework through which the first fleet of advanced nuclear power plants in America in nearly three decades could be developed and deployed,” added Shattuck.

 



 

                Also in the third quarter, Constellation Energy reached an agreement to sell its Panama operations. The transaction closed on October 3, 2005, which will result in an eight cent gain in the fourth quarter.

                The following table summarizes both adjusted earnings per share (which excludes the impact of special items and certain economic hedges that do not qualify for hedge accounting) and earnings per share reported in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) for the three and nine months ended Sept. 30, 2005:

Baltimore Gas & Electric

                BGE delivered a strong performance in the third quarter, earning 24 cents per share. These results were seven cents above the top end of management’s guidance range and eight cents higher than the same period last year. The positive variance was due primarily to hot weather in Central Maryland in the third quarter, which was the third warmest since 1950, when BGE began tracking weather.

Merchant Energy

                Constellation Energy’s merchant energy business recorded adjusted earnings of 92 cents per share. This result was in line with management’s guidance and 14 cents lower than the adjusted EPS of $1.06 per share earned in the third quarter last year.

                As expected in the third quarter, the Company received lower competitive transition charge (CTC) revenue as some commercial customers completed their CTC obligation. Weather-driven demand increased costs for the load serving businesses as customers consumed more fixed-price power. This phenomenon combined with the sharp rise in power prices increased NewEnergy’s costs to serve customers in their expanding retail business.

                “We delivered incremental productivity in the third quarter, driven primarily by our generation group. Year to date, we have realized about $72 million, or 90 percent of our 2005 productivity target of $80 million. As you can see, we are delivering on our promise that 2008 pretax earnings would be $150 to $180 million higher than 2003’s via productivity,” said E. Follin Smith, executive vice president, chief financial officer and chief administrative officer of Constellation Energy. “These gains will create a lower cost structure, which is an annuity for our shareholders in our deregulated environment and which increases the return on investment in Constellation Energy.”

Adjusted Earnings

                Constellation Energy presents adjusted earnings per share (adjusted EPS) in addition to its reported earnings per share in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (reported GAAP EPS).  Adjusted EPS is a non-GAAP financial measure that differs from reported GAAP EPS because it excludes the cumulative effects of changes in accounting principles, discontinued operations, special items (which we define as significant items that are not related to our ongoing, underlying business or which distort comparability of results) included in operations, and impacts of certain economic, non-qualifying hedges.

                For the third quarter, Constellation Energy has for the first time determined to exclude from adjusted earnings two categories of non-qualifying hedges: hedges against the Commodities Group New

 



 

England fuel adjustment clauses and hedges on gas transport contracts. The mark-to-market impact of these hedges was significant on reported results, but economically neutral to the company in that offsetting gains on underlying accrual positions will be recognized in the future.

                We present adjusted EPS because we believe that it is appropriate for investors to consider results excluding these items in addition to our results in accordance with GAAP.  We believe such a measure provides a picture of our results that is comparable among periods since it excludes the impact of items such as workforce reduction costs or gains and losses on the sale of a business, which may recur occasionally, but tend to be irregular as to timing, thereby distorting comparisons between periods.  However, investors should note that these non-GAAP measures involve judgments by management (in particular, judgments as to what is classified as a special item or an economic, non-qualifying hedge to be excluded from adjusted earnings).  These non-GAAP measures are also used to evaluate management’s performance and for compensation purposes.

                Constellation Energy also provides its earnings guidance in terms of adjusted EPS.  Constellation Energy is unable to reconcile its 2005 adjusted EPS to GAAP earnings per share because we do not predict the future impact of special items and economic, non-qualifying hedges due to the difficulty of doing so.  The impact of special items and economic, non-qualifying hedges could be material to our operating results computed in accordance with GAAP.

SEC Filings

                The company plans to file its Form 10-Q for the three months ended Sept. 30, 2005 on or about Nov. 8, 2005.

Addendum — Economic, Non-qualifying Hedges and Special Items Recognized in Third Quarter 2005

Economic, Non-qualifying Hedges — after-tax loss of $(22.8) million, or $(0.13) per share

In the third quarter of 2005, we recognized a $(22.8) million after-tax loss related to certain non-qualifying hedges, which are economic hedges that do not meet the criteria for hedge accounting under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, as amended, and thus are required to be marked-to-market. These non-qualifying hedges relate to New England load contracts fuel adjustment clauses (FACs) and gas transport contracts. This mark-to-market loss is expected to be offset as we realize the related accrual load-serving and gas transport contracts in future periods.

Workforce Reduction Costs — after-tax charge of $(2.3) million, or $(0.01) per share

In the fourth quarter of 2004, we announced our plans to restructure the work forces of the Nine Mile Point and Calvert Cliffs nuclear generating stations effective in 2005. As a result of the restructuring, in the third quarter of 2005 we were required to record a settlement charge for one of our qualified pension

 



 

plans under SFAS No. 88, Employers’ Accounting for Settlements and Curtailments of Defined Benefit Pension Plans and for Termination Benefits. This charge reflects recognition of the portion of deferred actuarial gains and losses associated with employees who were terminated as part of the restructuring or retired in 2005 and who elected to receive their pension benefit in the form of a lump-sum payment. In accordance with SFAS No. 88, a settlement charge must be recognized at the point in time when lump-sum payments exceed annual pension plan service and interest cost, which occurred in the third quarter.  We expect to incur a small incremental SFAS No. 88 settlement charge in the fourth quarter of 2005 as additional lump-sum payments are made.

Income from Discontinued Operations — after-tax gain of $1.4 million, or $0.01 per share

                In September 2005, we reached an agreement to sell Constellation Power International Investments, Ltd., which includes a controlling financial interest in a Panamanian electric distribution facility. As of Sept. 30, 2005, we classified these investments, reflected in other non-regulated, as held for sale and reclassified their financial results to discontinued operations. The transaction was closed on Oct. 3, 2005. During the fourth quarter of 2005, we will recognize a pre-tax gain of approximately $15 million, or 8 cents per share, in discontinued operations from the sale of these non-core international investments. The gain will be classified as a special item.
