ONCOR REPORTS SOLID SECOND QUARTER 2020 RESULTS

• Provides Update on Pandemic

• Continues Safe and Effective Operations

• Maintains Strong Liquidity

DALLAS (August 5, 2020) — Oncor Electric Delivery Company LLC (“Oncor”) today reported three months ended June 30, 2020 net income of $176 million compared to net income of $139 million in the second quarter of 2019.

“For more than a century, Oncor has maintained a commitment of safety and service that extends to every employee, customer and location across our service territory. That commitment has perhaps never been as critical as it is now, as our state continues to experience the unparalleled impacts of the ongoing pandemic,” said Oncor CEO Allen Nye. “The strength of our second quarter and underlying business performance is a direct result of the Company’s perseverance in the face of this challenge and our dedication to providing the critical energy infrastructure necessary to meet the needs of our customers and stakeholders. We will continue this focus with the knowledge that Texas’s economy, communities and people remain resilient and determined to return to a position of growth and prosperity.”

Oncor’s net income of $307 million in the six months ended June 30, 2020 compared favorably to net income of $255 million in the six months ended June 30, 2019. The $52 million period over period improvement was primarily driven by increases in revenues from the assets Oncor acquired in the InfraREIT acquisition in May 2019, increases in the transmission base rate and favorable changes in other deductions and income, partially offset by increases in depreciation and amortization, interest expense and operation and maintenance expense. Financial and operational results are provided in Tables A, B, C and D below.

Pandemic Update

To date, Oncor’s business, financial condition and results of operations have not been materially adversely affected by the pandemic. Oncor’s total distribution base revenues in the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 as compared to the prior year periods increased 4.3% (1.8% on a weather normalized basis) and 1.8% (3.2% on a weather normalized basis), respectively. The quarter over quarter increase in Oncor’s total distribution base revenues included an 11.5% (5.8% on a weather normalized basis) increase in distribution base revenues from residential customers and a 4.2% decrease in distribution base revenues from large commercial and industrial customers.

In March, the Public Utility Commission of Texas (“PUCT”) established the COVID-19 Electricity Relief Program (“COVID-19 ERP”) to aid residential customers unable to pay their electricity bills due to the impact of COVID-19. In July 2020, the PUCT extended the expiration date of the COVID-19 ERP to August 31, 2020. Through June 30, 2020, the program has aided over 41,000 residential premises (approximately 1.3% of Oncor’s active residential premises) in Oncor’s service territory.

Safe and Effective Operations

Oncor is proud to announce that it achieved 5 million safe work hours while continuing to execute on its robust capital investment plan in the first half of 2020, spending $1.283 billion of its planned $2.5 billion of capital investment in 2020 and increasing the number of points of delivery by approximately 38,000. Approximately 90% of Oncor’s planned transmission projects through 2021 require no further regulatory approvals to begin construction. Oncor continues to monitor the impacts of COVID-19 on its service territory and planned capital expenditures, but currently does not expect decreases to its previously announced $11.9 billion five-year capital expenditure plan.

In the second quarter of 2020, Oncor completed several planned transmission projects for the summer of 2020, including approximately 270 miles of greenfield and brownfield transmission lines and 27 major substation projects totaling approximately $700 million in capital expenditures. Oncor is also on pace to surpass the number of new requests for transmission interconnections it received in 2019, which is predominantly driven by an increase in utility scale solar generation activity.

On the consumer front, Oncor rolled out its MyOncor mobile app, which provides customers with proactive digital communications for onsite premise visits ahead of Oncor’s visit to their home or business.

Ample Liquidity

Oncor’s available liquidity consisting of cash on hand and available credit capacity as of June 30, 2020, totaled $2.350 billion. Oncor believes it has sufficient liquidity to fund current obligations, projected working capital requirements, maturities of long-term debt and capital spending for at least the next twelve months.
