Constellation Energy Reports Strong Third Quarter 2006 Earnings

Solid performance driven by growing competitive supply business and
continued productivity gains

Company raises 2006 earnings guidance; outlines 2007 and 2008 earnings guidance

Results mark five consecutive years of meeting or exceeding guidance.

BALTIMORE, Oct. 27, 2006 - Constellation Energy (NYSE: CEG) today reported third quarter GAAP earnings of $1.79 per share, compared to $1.03 per share for the same quarter last year. On an adjusted basis, the company earned $1.56 per share, exceeding its guidance range of $1.10 to $1.25 per share and above the $1.08 per share of adjusted earnings in the third quarter last year. Adjusted earnings exclude the impact of special items, certain economic hedges that do not qualify for hedge accounting, and synfuel earnings.

“This past quarter’s results mark a signifcant milestone for Constellation Energy—five years of meeting or exceeding our quarterly earnings guidance,” said Mayo A. Shattuck III, chairman, president and chief executive officer of Constellation Energy. “This steady performance is a function of a proven business model, crisp execution by management and our employees, and rigorous risk management. Despite the potential for distraction associated with our recently terminated merger with FPL Group, our employees continue to execute and, as a result, we are on track to outperform our business plan for the year.  At the same time, our long-term outlook continues to strengthen.

“In the third quarter, the merchant businesses delivered exceptional results in all areas. The Commodities Group drove strong new business growth in the power business and achieved better-than-expected results in portfolio management and trading, primarily driven by portfolio

1




management.  They also executed new business and added enough to the backlog to exceed the target for full-year origination. NewEnergy’s results showed substantial growth through continued gross margin improvement, driven by improved pricing and lower costs to serve load. The third quarter was also marked by strong new sales volumes and high customer retention rates. The roll off of below-market sales from the fleet and progress toward our productivity initiatives improved results for the generation fleet. Year-to-date, we have realized $39 million in permanent pre-tax savings, which is 98 percent of our full-year productivity target. Baltimore Gas and Electric, our regulated utility, continued to perform in line with expectations,” said Shattuck.

Constellation Energy raised its previous full-year 2006 earnings guidance of $3.35 to $3.65 per share to $3.65 to $3.80 per share, before reflecting the fact that the High Desert Plant will be treated as a discontinued operation because of its upcoming sale. The company also reaffirmed 2007 earnings guidance of $4.40 to $4.65 per share, excluding dilution associated with applying the proceeds of the gas-fired generation plant sales to reduce debt. Including these adjustments, the company modified its earnings guidance to $3.30 to $3.45 per share for 2006 after deducting 34 cents for High Desert, and to $4.30 to $4.65 per share for 2007 after broadening the lower end of the range by $0.10 per share. The company reaffirmed its previous earnings guidance for 2008 of $5.25 to $5.75 per share.

The following tables summarize adjusted earnings per share and earnings per share reported in accordance with GAAP for the company’s business segments and provide a reconciliation to total company reported earnings:

Baltimore Gas and Electric

Baltimore Gas and Electric Company reported adjusted earnings of 20 cents per share in the third quarter of 2006, consistent with management’s earnings guidance range of 17 to 22 cents per share and down 4 cents per share from the third quarter last year. The year-over-year decrease was due to the return to more normal weather compared to the higher temperatures experienced in the third quarter last year.

Merchant

The Merchant segment’s adjusted earnings were $1.34 per share, above the company’s earnings guidance range of 90 cents to $1.05 per share. Compared to the third quarter last year, the Merchant segment was up 50 cents per share on an adjusted basis. Wholesale competitive supply, driven by the power business and portfolio management and trading, primarily portfolio management, added 34 cents compared to last year. The roll off of below-market sales from the fleet was partially offset by the negative effect of the completion of residential customers’ Competitive Transition Charge obligations; the net of these two items was an additional 17 cents per share.  NewEnergy added 14 cents per share versus the prior year primarily due to improved pricing and lower costs to serve load. The merchant segment also realized an incremental 3 cents per share in productivity gains. These additions to earnings were partially offset by expected costs to support growth.

3




Other Non-Regulated

Constellation Energy’s other non-regulated businesses reported adjusted earnings of 2 cents per share for the third quarter of 2006, compared to break-even results in the third quarter of 2005.

Financial Statements

The September 2006 financial statements and selected supplemental information are attached.

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 the impact of certain economic, non-qualifying hedges. The mark-to-market impact of these hedges is significant to reported results, but economically neutral to the company in that offsetting gains or losses on underlying accrual positions will be recognized in the future. Adjusted EPS also excludes synfuel earnings due to the potential for oil-price volatility to result in a difficult-to-forecast phase-out of tax credits.

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 more comparable among periods since it excludes the impact of items such as workforce reduction costs or gains and losses on the sale of assets, 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.

4




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

SEC Filings

The company plans to file its Form 10-Q for the three months ended Sept. 30, 2006, on or about Nov. 8, 2006.

Non-qualifying Hedges — after-tax gain of $35.9 million, or $0.20 per share

During the quarter ended Sept. 30, 2006, we recognized a $35.9 million after-tax gain related to certain non-qualifying hedges of gas transportation and gas storage, which are economic hedges that do not meet the criteria for hedge accounting under SFAS No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, as amended, and thus are required to be marked-to-market. This mark-to-market gain is essentially a timing difference that is expected to be offset as we realize the related accrual contracts in cash in future periods.

Synfuel Earnings — after-tax income of $20.1 million, or $0.11 per share

We have removed the $20.1 million of income generated during the third quarter of 2006 from our results. The following table is a summary of amounts we recorded during the third quarter of 2006 related to our synfuel operations:

Other Special Items:

Workforce Reduction Costs — after-tax charge of $(13.1) million, or $(0.07) per share

In the third quarter of 2006, we initiated a restructuring of the workforce at our Nine Mile Point and Calvert Cliffs nuclear facilities. In connection with these restructurings, we recorded an after-tax charge of $(11.0) million related to severance and other employee benefits. In addition, as a result of this reduction in force, we recorded a $(2.1) million after-tax 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 Nine Mile Point employees who were terminated as part of the restructuring or retired in 2006 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 when lump-sum payments exceed annual pension plan service and interest cost.  We expect to incur approximately $7.0 million pre-tax of additional SFAS No. 88 settlement charges in Q406, substantially all of which relates to lump-sum pension payments to employees terminated under the Nine Mile Point restructuring.

Merger Costs — after-tax charge of $(2.5) million, or $(0.01) per share

In the third quarter of 2006, we recorded a $(2.5) million after-tax charge relating to costs associated with our merger with FPL Group, Inc. The merger was terminated on Oct. 24, 2006. We expect to have an approximate $5 million favorable after-tax impact in the fourth quarter of 2006 mostly resulting from the recognition of tax benefits on expenses associated with the merger that were previously not tax deductible.
