Exelon Announces First Quarter Results;
Reaffirms Full-Year 2007 Operating Earnings Guidance;
Illinois Legislative and ComEd Financial Challenges Continue
CHICAGO (April 25, 2007) — Exelon Corporation’s (Exelon) first quarter 2007 consolidated earnings prepared in accordance with GAAP were $691 million, or $1.02 per diluted share, compared with earnings of $400 million, or $0.59 per diluted share, in the first quarter of 2006.
Exelon’s adjusted (non-GAAP) operating earnings for the first quarter of 2007 were $722 million, or $1.07 per diluted share, compared with $420 million, or $0.62 per diluted share, for the same period in 2006. The increase in adjusted (non-GAAP) operating earnings per share was primarily due to higher margins on energy sales at Exelon Generation Company, LLC (Generation), higher nuclear output reflecting fewer outage days, the effects of favorable weather conditions as compared with last year in the Commonwealth Edison Company (ComEd) and PECO Energy Company (PECO) service territories, and a PJM billing settlement with PPL Electric (PPL). These positive factors were partially offset by significantly lower net income at ComEd primarily due to the end of its nine-year regulatory transition period, and higher operating and maintenance expense and increased depreciation and amortization across Exelon’s operating companies, including the scheduled higher competitive transition charge (CTC) amortization at PECO.
A non-GAAP financial measure, adjusted (non-GAAP) operating earnings for the first quarter of 2007 do not include the following items that are included in reported GAAP earnings (all after tax):
    Mark-to-market losses of $69 million, or $0.10 per diluted share, primarily from Generation’s economic hedging activities.
 
    Earnings of $24 million, or $0.03 per diluted share, associated with investments in synthetic fuel-producing facilities, including the impact of mark-to-market losses associated with the related derivatives.

    A gain of $9 million, or $0.01 per diluted share, related to the sale of Generation’s 49.5 percent ownership interests in Termoeléctrica del Golfo (TEG) and Termoeléctrica Peñoles (TEP), two generating facilities in Mexico.
 
    A gain of $5 million, or $0.01 per diluted share, associated with the settlement of a tax matter at Generation related to its previous investment in Sithe Energies, Inc. (Sithe).
Adjusted (non-GAAP) operating earnings for the first quarter of 2006 do not include the following items that are included in reported GAAP earnings (all after tax):
    Mark-to-market losses of $19 million, or $0.03 per diluted share, from economic hedging activities.
 
    Earnings of $13 million, or $0.02 per diluted share, associated with investments in synthetic fuel-producing facilities, including the impact of mark-to-market losses associated with the related derivatives.
 
    Charges of $9 million, or $0.01 per diluted share, related to certain integration costs associated with the now terminated merger with Public Service Enterprise Group Incorporated (PSEG).
 
    Charges of $5 million, or $0.01 per diluted share, associated with the settlement of a tax matter at Generation related to its previous investment in Sithe and severance and severance-related costs recorded at Exelon during the period.
2007 Earnings Outlook
Exelon affirmed its adjusted (non-GAAP) operating earnings guidance range for 2007 of $4.00 to $4.30 per share. The following table indicates guidance ranges by operating company contribution to 2007 adjusted (non-GAAP) operating earnings per Exelon share, excluding Exelon holding company.

Generation:
  $3.40 to $3.60
ComEd:
  $0.10 to $0.20
PECO:
  $0.60 to $0.65
The outlook for 2007 adjusted (non-GAAP) operating earnings for Exelon and its subsidiaries excludes the following items:
    mark-to-market adjustments from economic hedging activities
 
    investments in synthetic fuel-producing facilities
 
    significant impairments of intangible assets, including goodwill
 
    significant changes in decommissioning obligation estimates
 
    other unusual items
 
    any future changes to GAAP

Giving consideration to these factors, Exelon estimates GAAP earnings in 2007 will fall in the range of $4.10 to $4.40 per share. Both Exelon’s operating earnings and GAAP earnings guidance are based on the assumption of normal weather and exclude any impact of the possible outcome of legislation and settlement discussions in Illinois, beyond the $44 million that ComEd has recently proposed in rate relief programs for its customers in 2007.
Beginning in 2007, earnings per share reflect a change in Exelon’s quarterly earnings profile, which will result in a slightly different distribution than in prior years. Earnings will be more equally distributed quarter to quarter due to several factors, including the end of ComEd’s power purchase agreement (PPA) with Generation and the timing and increased volume of energy sales into the wholesale market. As previously disclosed, Exelon expects the quarterly operating earnings per share distribution ranges of total earnings for the balance of 2007 to be as follows:
    Second Quarter: 21 to 24 percent
 
    Third Quarter: 26 to 29 percent
 
    Fourth Quarter: 23 to 26 percent
First Quarter and Recent Highlights
    Nuclear Operations: Generation’s nuclear fleet, including its owned output from the Salem Generating Station operated by PSEG Nuclear LLC, produced 35,357 GWhs in the first quarter of 2007, compared with 33,491 GWhs in the first quarter of 2006. The Exelon-operated nuclear plants achieved a 96.4 percent capacity factor for the first quarter of 2007 compared with 91.0 percent for the first quarter of 2006. The Exelon-operated nuclear plants completed one scheduled refueling outage and began a second in the first quarter of 2007 (40 days), compared with completing three and beginning a fourth refueling outage in the first quarter of 2006 (79 days). There was one non-refueling outage day in the first quarter of 2007 versus 25 days in 2006. The co-owned Salem Generating Station began a scheduled refueling outage in the first quarter of 2007 and did not have a scheduled refueling outage in the first quarter of 2006. “Nuclear’s strong production, based in part on LaSalle unit 2 achieving the second-longest continuous operating run of any light water reactor in the world (exceeded only by LaSalle unit 1), resulted in record high generation for the quarter and demonstrates the pay-off of our sustained focus on equipment reliability,” said Chris Crane, Exelon Nuclear president and chief nuclear officer.
 
    Fossil and Hydro Operations: Generation’s fossil fleet commercial availability was 92.8 percent in the first quarter of 2007, compared with 93.0 percent in the first quarter of 2006. The equivalent availability factor for the hydro facilities was 99.1 percent in the first quarter of 2007, compared with 97.0 percent in the first quarter of 2006, primarily due to fewer planned outages in 2007 compared to 2006.
 
    Reliability Pricing Model (RPM) Auction: In December 2006, the Federal Electric Regulatory Commission (FERC) approved a new RPM capacity market for PJM. RPM is designed to procure capacity on a three-year forward basis and compensate those capacity resources based on the locational need for that capacity. In early April 2007, PJM conducted the first auction under this new market design. Exelon’s generation located within the PJM footprint was bid into this auction. The payments based on the locational clearing prices that will be received as a result of

3


 

      the auction may be offset by forward sales and bilateral contracts made against Generation’s generating portfolio prior to the auction. The results of the first RPM auction, for capacity during the June 1, 2007 to May 31, 2008 time period, are as follows:
        Eastern Mid-Atlantic Area Council (MAAC): $197.67/MW-day
 
        Southwest MAAC: $188.54/MW-day
 
        Rest of Market: $40.80/MW-day
 
      This month’s auction is only the first of three auctions that will be held in 2007. The next auction will be conducted in July 2007, and will procure capacity for the period June 2008 through May 2009. The third auction will be conducted in October 2007, and will procure capacity for the period June 2009 through May 2010. The last of these transitional auctions will occur in January 2008 for the period June 2010 to May 2011. Subsequent auctions will take place 36 months ahead of the scheduled delivery year. “RPM will compensate our generators for our investment in long-term reliability both in the East and Midwest,” said Ian McLean, president of Exelon Power Team. “RPM will send a more timely signal to the market about the need for new generation and better enable resource owners to plan on a forward-looking basis.”
 
    ComEd Regulatory Recovery Plan: Beginning in 2007, ComEd completed its transition to a wires-only transmission and distribution company. In the first quarter of 2007, ComEd reported adjusted (non-GAAP) operating earnings of $5 million, or $0.01 per Exelon share, as compared with $61 million, or $0.09 per Exelon share, in the same quarter last year. This decrease was primarily due to the end of its regulatory transition period. If ComEd continues to recover all of its purchased power costs, which are a direct pass-through to its customers with no mark-up, it will still earn insufficient financial returns in 2007. This is primarily due to the impact of regulatory lag associated with ComEd’s inability to fully recover current-year cost levels as its 2006 delivery service rate case was based on an adjusted 2004 test year and cost levels. In order to secure fair and reasonable rate treatment and future adequate returns, ComEd is implementing a regulatory recovery plan. As part of this plan, ComEd expects to file periodic rate case proceedings, including a delivery services rate case that is expected late in the second quarter of 2007. In addition, a transmission rate case was filed with FERC on March 1, 2007.
 
    Illinois Rate Freeze Proposals and ComEd Customer Relief Programs: On March 6, 2007, the Illinois House of Representatives (House) passed a rate freeze extension bill (HB 1750) that, if enacted into law, would roll back the current electricity rates of ComEd and other Illinois utilities to rates that were in effect prior to 2007, causing significant financial distress and threatening the ability to deliver reliable electric service and potentially costing customers more in the long run. Following passage in the House, the bill moved to the Illinois State Senate (Senate) for consideration and was referred to the Rules Committee. The Senate Environment and Energy Committee (Senate Committee) recommended adoption of its own rate freeze extension bill (SB 1592), that if enacted into law, would roll back rates of certain Illinois utilities, excluding ComEd, for a period of at least one year. On March 22, 2007, the Senate Committee approved for consideration by the full Senate an amendment that would make the legislation applicable to all Illinois utilities, including ComEd. ComEd and other interested parties have been actively engaged in discussions with members of the Illinois General Assembly and other leaders to explore alternatives to rate freeze legislation that would provide financial assistance for Illinois electric customers with unusually high electric bills and other customers in need of financial assistance. On April 20, 2007, the full Senate passed SB 1592

4


 

      without the amendment to include ComEd. SB 1592 will now move to the House for consideration where it could be voted on as it stands or amended to include ComEd and then voted on. If amended and passed by the full House, SB 1592 would need to be sent back to the Senate for reconsideration. If HB 1750 or an amended SB 1592 is passed into law, a rate freeze extension could cause ComEd to lose $1.4 billion or more annually — or $4 million per day — and put ComEd in financial distress and on the path to potential bankruptcy with devastating consequences for Illinois and consumers of electricity. Furthermore, ComEd believes that such a law will violate Federal law and the U.S. Constitution, and ComEd is prepared to challenge the rate freeze legislation in court.
 
      To become law, legislation must be passed by the House and Senate and signed by the Governor of Illinois (Governor). The Governor has previously expressed support for rate freeze legislation. The ultimate outcome of discussions of alternatives to rate freeze legislation, the legislative process, and the coverage or content of any legislation that may be adopted are all uncertain.
 
      ComEd plans to move forward with its customer relief programs provided that no rate rollback and freeze legislation applicable to ComEd is enacted into law. On April 23, 2007, ComEd announced it is preparing to implement a new $64 million relief package for its customers most impacted by its January rate increase. Relief would come in the form of bill credits, grants, weatherization funds and energy efficiency programs. Inclusive of ComEd’s funding of its Customers’ Affordable Reliable Energy (CARE) initiative described below, ComEd anticipates that these customer rate relief programs may cost approximately $44 million in 2007 and approximately $20 million in additional funds during 2008 and 2009 combined.
 
      ComEd has already taken a number of steps to help customers transition to new rates such as the rate stabilization program discussed below. Last summer, ComEd began an education campaign to inform its customers about higher rates that would reflect the real cost of electricity. Additionally, the company created CARE, an initiative that includes energy efficiency education and assistance programs for low-income customers, working families and seniors. ComEd has spent approximately $12 million for CARE-related programs since its inception, including $3 million during the three months ended March 31, 2007. More information is available at www.ComEdCARE.com.
 
    ComEd Residential Rate Stabilization Program: In January 2007, as part of its CARE package, ComEd launched the rate stabilization program approved by the ICC that allows residential customers the choice to limit the impact of any rate increases over the next three years. The program has an “opt-in” feature that gives customers the choice to participate, beginning with the April 2007 billing period. The enrollment window runs through August 22, 2007. Under the program, residential customers choosing to participate would see average annual rate increases capped at 10 percent in 2007, 2008 and 2009. Costs that exceed the cap would be deferred and charged to customers over the following three years, 2010 to 2012. A carrying charge at a below-market rate of 3.25 percent per year will be assessed to participants to partially cover ComEd’s cost of financing the program. A provision of the program provides that it would terminate if ComEd’s senior secured credit ratings from two of the three major credit rating agencies fall below investment grade. This ratings test was changed by ComEd voluntarily through a filing with the ICC. It was previously based on the senior unsecured rating. However, the fact that ComEd’s senior unsecured debt is rated below investment grade by all

5


 

      three agencies is not reflective of ComEd’s ability to support the program but instead largely relates to legislative and political risk. As of March 31, 2007, approximately 34,000 or 1 percent of ComEd’s residential customers have enrolled in the program.
 
    ComEd Transmission Rate Case: On March 1, 2007, ComEd filed a request with FERC, seeking approval to increase the rate it receives for transmission services. The proposed $147 million increase in the annual revenue requirement would raise an average residential customer bill by about 1.5 percent. ComEd is requesting that the new transmission rate, if accepted by FERC, be effective May 2007. ComEd is proposing that FERC approve a formula to calculate future transmission charges, updated annually to assure that under this rate customers pay the actual costs of providing transmission services. ComEd’s transmission rate was last updated in 2003. Between 2003 and the end of 2007, ComEd will have invested over $800 million in transmission-related plant to meet increasing demand and improve reliability.
 
    ComEd Rate Design Investigation: On March 2, 2007, the ICC voted to initiate investigations into ComEd’s and the Ameren Corporation utilities’ rate designs, particularly for residential and residential space-heating customers. The investigation was prompted by hearings before the Illinois House Committee of the Whole that took place in February 2007, where House Representatives and customers spoke of extreme and unexpected rate increases that took effect in January 2007. The vast majority of situations noted related to Ameren customers. The ICC specified that the investigation would not look to the overall level of rates, which has just recently been set, but only to the allocation among the various customer groups. A final ICC order is expected by September 2007, which would allow implementation of changes, if any, prior to the next winter heating season.
 
    Illinois Attorney General Complaint: On March 15, 2007, the Illinois Attorney General filed a complaint with FERC alleging that the prices to all suppliers resulting from the Illinois auction are unjust and unreasonable under the Federal Power Act and that the suppliers colluded in the course of the auction. The outcome of these proceedings is uncertain, but Exelon and Generation each believes the claims to be completely false and each intends to vigorously oppose these claims. FERC ruled in December 2005, in response to an application filed by ComEd and Generation, that the then-proposed Illinois auction process met its principles concerning the procurement of wholesale electric power through a competitive process and that the proposed standard agreements under which Generation would provide electricity to ComEd if it were one of the winning bidders in the auction would be acceptable to FERC. In December 2006, the ICC staff issued a public report indicating that the first Illinois auction “was conducted in a transparent, equitable and highly professional manner.” Other claims by the Illinois Attorney General’s office relating to the auction have been repeatedly rejected by state and federal regulators as well as the courts.
 
    PECO Alternative Energy Portfolio Standards (AEPS) Filing: On March 19, 2007, PECO filed a petition with the Pennsylvania Public Utility Commission (PAPUC), taking the first step in fulfilling the AEPS requirements enacted in 2004. The AEPS legislation requires that, by 2011, 3.5 percent of the energy consumed by PECO customers be provided through renewable resources — such as wind, methane gas and biomass. With a required 1/2 percent annual increase in its renewable requirement, by 2020 PECO must ensure that renewable resources make up a total of 8 percent of the energy consumed by customers. PECO plans to meet its initial requirements now by purchasing the equivalent of up to 240 megawatts (up to 450,000 megawatt

6


 

      hours per year) of alternative energy credits for five years. These credits are sold by renewable energy generators on a one-to-one basis each time one megawatt hour of renewable energy is produced. If approved by the PAPUC, PECO would be the first utility in the state to take action, continuing to demonstrate the company’s environmental leadership. It is estimated that the total impact of this requirement on a customer’s monthly energy bill beginning in 2011 would be less than 1 percent.
 
    Financing Activities: In March 2007, ComEd issued $300 million of 5.90% First Mortgage Bonds due 2036. The proceeds of the bonds were used to refinance borrowings under its revolving credit facility, repay short-term debt and for other general corporate purposes. In addition, PECO issued $175 million of 5.70% First Mortgage Bonds due 2037. The proceeds of the bond issue were used to refinance short-term indebtedness and for other general corporate purposes.
 
    Credit Rating Actions: On March 9, 2007, Fitch Ratings (Fitch) downgraded the debt ratings of ComEd’s senior secured debt, senior unsecured debt and commercial paper. The ratings remain on Ratings Watch Negative. The rating action reflects Fitch’s concerns regarding the continued legislative efforts in Illinois to freeze rates and the prospects for adequate and timely cost recovery through future rate increases.
 
      On March 26, 2007, Moody’s Investor Service downgraded ComEd’s senior unsecured debt and commercial paper due to continued regulatory and political uncertainty in Illinois. ComEd’s long-term ratings remain under review for a possible downgrade.
 
      The credit ratings and outlook for Exelon, Generation and PECO remain unchanged.
 
    Sale of Mexican Plants: On February 9, 2007, a subsidiary of Generation closed the sale of its 49.5 percent ownership interests in TEG and TEP to a subsidiary of AES Corporation for $95 million in cash plus certain purchase price adjustments. TEG and TEP are each approximately 230 MW petcoke-fired generating facilities located in Tamuín, Mexico.
 
    Tenaska Tolling Agreement with Georgia Power: On April 4, 2007, Generation agreed to sell its rights to 942 megawatts of capacity, energy, and ancillary services supplied from its existing long-term contract with Tenaska Georgia Partners, LP (Tenaska) through a tolling agreement with Georgia Power, a subsidiary of Southern Company, commencing June 1, 2010 and lasting for 15 or 20 years. The transaction between Generation and Georgia Power is subject to approval by the Georgia Public Service Commission (GPSC). Upon approval of the transaction by the GPSC, expected during the third quarter of 2007, Generation will recognize a non-cash after-tax loss of up to approximately $75 million. The transaction provides Generation approximately $43 million in annual revenue in the form of capacity payments over the term of the tolling agreement.

First quarter 2007 net income was $560 million compared with $268 million in the first quarter of 2006. First quarter 2007 net income included (all after tax) mark-to-market losses of $69 million, a gain of $9 million related to the sale of its investments in TEG and TEP and earnings of $5 million associated with the settlement of a tax matter related to its previous investment in Sithe. First quarter 2006 net income included (all after tax) mark-to-market losses of $13 million, a charge of $4 million associated with the settlement of a tax matter related to its previous investment in Sithe and expenses of $4 million related to certain integration costs associated with the now terminated merger with PSEG. Excluding the impact of these items, Generation’s net income of $615 million in the first quarter of 2007 increased $326 million compared with the same quarter last year, primarily due to higher revenue, net of purchased power and fuel expense, and decreased operating and maintenance expense as lower nuclear refueling outage expense more than offset inflationary cost pressures.
Generation’s revenue, net of purchased power and fuel expense, increased by $485 million in the first quarter of 2007 compared with the first quarter of 2006 excluding the mark-to-market impact in both years. The increase in revenue, net of purchased power and fuel expense, was driven by higher average margins primarily due to the end of the below-market price PPA with ComEd at year-end 2006, higher nuclear output reflecting fewer outage days, the contractual increase in the prices associated with Generation’s PPA with PECO and a PJM billing settlement with PPL. Generation’s average realized margin on all electric sales, including sales to affiliates and excluding trading activity, was $36.61 per MWh in the first quarter of 2007 compared with $27.42 per MWh in the first quarter of 2006.
ComEd consists of the retail and wholesale electricity transmission and distribution operations in northern Illinois.
ComEd recorded net income in the first quarter of 2007 of $5 million, a substantial reduction from net income of $54 million in the first quarter of 2006. First quarter 2006 net income included (all after tax) unrealized mark-to-market losses of $6 million from economic hedging activities at ComEd and expenses of $1 million related to certain integration costs associated with the now terminated merger with PSEG. Excluding the impact of these items, ComEd’s net income in the first quarter of 2007 decreased $56 million compared with the same quarter last year, primarily due to the end of its regulatory transition period and associated transition revenues, the end of its below-market price PPA with Generation in 2006, and higher operating and maintenance expense primarily due to wages and benefits, partially offset by the effects of favorable weather and an ICC-authorized increase in delivery service rates.
In the ComEd service territory in the first quarter of 2007, heating degree-days were up 15 percent relative to the same period in 2006, but were 4 percent below normal. ComEd’s total retail kWh deliveries increased 4 percent in 2007 as compared with 2006, with a 4 percent increase in deliveries to the residential customer class, largely due to favorable weather. ComEd’s first quarter 2007 revenues were $1,490 million, up 4 percent from $1,426 million in 2006 primarily due to higher prices, particularly for electricity. For ComEd, weather had a favorable after-tax impact of $8 million on first quarter 2007 earnings relative to 2006 and had an unfavorable after-tax impact of $1 million relative to normal weather, which was incorporated in earnings guidance.
The number of customers being served in the ComEd region has increased 1.1 percent since the first quarter of 2006, and weather-normalized kWh retail deliveries increased 1.5 percent compared with the first quarter of 2006.

PECO consists of the retail electricity transmission and distribution operations and the retail natural gas distribution business in southeastern Pennsylvania.
PECO’s net income in the first quarter of 2007 was $128 million, an increase from net income of $93 million in the first quarter of 2006. First quarter 2006 net income included (all after-tax) expenses of $4 million related to certain integration costs associated with the now terminated merger with PSEG and severance charges of $1 million. Excluding the impact of these items, PECO’s net income in the first quarter of 2007 increased $30 million compared with the same quarter last year primarily due to higher revenues, net of purchased power and fuel expense, partially offset by higher CTC amortization. The increase in CTC amortization expense is in accordance with PECO’s 1998 restructuring settlement with the PAPUC.
In the PECO service territory in the first quarter of 2007, heating degree-days were up 15 percent from 2006, but were 2 percent below normal. PECO’s total electric retail kWh deliveries increased 6 percent, with residential deliveries up 7 percent. Total gas retail deliveries were up 16 percent from the 2006 period. PECO’s first quarter 2007 revenues were $1,500 million, up from $1,407 million in 2006, primarily due to the effects of favorable weather and an authorized electric generation rate increase under the 1998 restructuring settlement, partially offset by a decrease in average gas rates effective through PAPUC-approved changes to the purchased gas adjustment clause. For PECO, weather had a favorable after-tax impact of $17 million on first quarter 2007 earnings relative to 2006 and an unfavorable after-tax impact of $1 million relative to normal weather, which was incorporated in earnings guidance.
The number of electric customers being served in the PECO region has increased 0.1 percent since the first quarter of 2006, with weather-normalized kWh growth of 2.7 percent compared with the first quarter of 2006.
