Constellation Energy Reports Strong Second Quarter 2007 Results

           Solid earnings growth driven by strong Merchant performance

           Provides earnings guidance of $1.35 to $1.55 per share for third quarter 2007

           Reaffirms guidance for 2007 and 2008

BALTIMORE, July 27, 2007 Constellation Energy (NYSE: CEG) today reported adjusted earnings of 64 cents per share, 19 cents per share higher than the 45 cents of adjusted earnings per share (EPS) earned in the same period last year. The results were in line with management’s guidance range of 55 cents to 75 cents per share. Adjusted earnings exclude the impact of special items, certain economic, non-qualifying hedges and synfuel earnings. In addition, adjusted earnings include a loss of 14 cents per share due to the impact of qualifying hedges that were required to be marked to market in the quarter. These hedge losses are expected to reverse in future periods, with a significant portion reversing during the balance of 2007. On a GAAP basis, the company earned 64 cents per share in the second quarter of 2007, compared to 52 cents per share in the same period last year.

“Our reported earnings were in line with our expectations and our underlying fundamental performance was even stronger,” said Mayo A. Shattuck III, chairman, president and chief executive officer, Constellation Energy.  “Adding back the timing impact of the mark-to-market losses associated with the hedges, our second quarter results would have exceeded the upper end of our guidance range, reflecting continued strong performance from our Merchant business.

“From a strategic standpoint, it is increasingly clear that most of the significant business decisions we face—and many of the greatest opportunities we see in the future—are affected by the probability of greenhouse gas controls.  With the expanded focus on environmental stewardship, we see substantial opportunities to assist our large customer base in achieving its sustainability objectives.  The fact that we have a wide array of businesses and assets — high-quality, low-emitting generation plants, industry-leading, customer-focused competitive supply businesses, and a regulated utility—provides a strong platform for Constellation Energy to offer an expansive set of environmentally friendly energy products to our customers.  While we are excited by these customer opportunities, perhaps the most significant contribution Constellation Energy can make would be to deploy the first standardized fleet of new nuclear power plants in almost three decades.  We took a significant step toward this objective last week with the announcement of our strategic joint venture with EDF,” said Shattuck.

Constellation Energy provided third quarter 2007 guidance of $1.35 to $1.55 per share and reaffirmed earnings guidance of $4.30 to $4.65 per share in 2007 and $5.25 to $5.75 per share for 2008. Looking at 2009, the company expects earnings growth of more than 10 percent over 2008.

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 (BGE) reported adjusted earnings of 8 cents per share in the second quarter of 2007, down 3 cents per share versus the second quarter of 2006, driven by the loss of nuclear decommissioning revenues due to Senate Bill 1 and other inflationary costs, partially offset by higher electric volumes due to customer growth and a return to more normal weather after a mild second quarter in 2006.

During the quarter, most of BGE’s residential electric customers in Maryland transitioned to market rates.  Earlier this year, the Maryland Public Service Commission (MPSC) approved an opt-in plan for customers to defer the transition to full market rates until January 1, 2008.  Only 4 percent of BGE’s residential electric customers opted into this plan, while the remaining 96 percent moved to full market rates effective June 1, 2007. BGE also completed the securitization for the initial rate stabilization plan approved by the MPSC in 2006.  BGE issued $623 million in rate stabilization bonds that are supported by a non-bypassable charge on customer bills over a 10-year period.

Merchant

On an adjusted basis, the Merchant segment earned 56 cents per share during the second quarter of 2007, compared to management’s guidance range of 50 cents to 70 cents per share and up 24 cents per share from the second quarter last year.

3




The Merchant segment’s solid year-over-year performance in the second quarter was in line with expectations. The generation fleet delivered a strong performance as it continues to transition to market prices.  Wholesale Competitive Supply increased due to higher backlog realization.  Net interest expense was down due to lower net debt following the sale of the gas-fired generation plants in December 2006.  Second quarter results include losses associated with qualifying hedges that were required to be marked to market.  These hedge losses are expected to reverse in future periods, with a significant portion reversing in the second half of 2007. In addition, Retail Competitive Supply results declined in part due to mark-to-market losses on economic hedges of accrual positions. The loss of competitive transition charge collections in Maryland and other costs also created a negative year-over-year variance.

Other Nonregulated

Constellation Energy’s Other Nonregulated businesses reported adjusted earnings of zero cents per share for the second quarter of 2007, in line with management’s guidance range of zero to 2 cents per share and down 2 cents per share versus 2 cents of adjusted EPS in the second quarter of 2006.

Financial Statements

The June 30, 2007, financial statements and 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, the impact of certain economic, non-qualifying hedges and synfuel earnings. 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. Synfuel earnings are excluded due to the potential for oil-price volatility to result in a difficult-to-forecast phase-out of tax credits.

4




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 this non-GAAP measure involves judgment by management (in particular, judgment as to what is classified as a special item or an economic, non-qualifying hedge to be excluded from adjusted earnings). This non-GAAP measure is 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 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 a substitute to GAAP information.

SEC Filings

The company plans to file its Form 10-Q for the three months ended June 30, 2007, on or about August 8, 2007.

Forward-Looking Statements

We make statements in this news release that are considered forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. These statements are not guarantees of our future performance and are subject to risks, uncertainties and other important factors that could cause our actual performance or achievements to be materially different from those we project.

Addendum — Amounts Excluded from Adjusted EPS

Impairment Losses and Other Costs - after-tax charge of $(12.2) million, or $(0.07) per share

In October 2006, we acquired certain rights from FPL Group, Inc. relating to a wind development project in Western Maryland. In the second quarter of 2007, we decided not to pursue development of the wind project and recorded a charge of $12.2 million after-tax.

Workforce Reduction Costs - after-tax charge of $(1.5) million, or $(0.01) per share

In June 2007, we approved a restructuring of the workforce at our Nine Mile Point nuclear facility. In connection with this restructuring, 23 employees will be terminated.  During the quarter ended June 30, 2007, we recognized costs of $(1.5) million after-tax related to recording a liability for severance and other benefits under our existing benefit programs.

Non-qualifying Hedges - after-tax gain of $1.4 million, or $0.01 per share

During the second quarter of 2007, we recognized a $1.4 million after-tax gain related to certain non-qualifying hedges of gas transportation rights and gas storage contracts, which are economic hedges that do not meet the criteria or are not designated for cash-flow hedge accounting under FAS 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 $12.2 million, or $0.07 per share

Due to the potential for oil price volatility to result in a difficult-to-forecast phase-out of tax credits at our facilities that produce synfuel, we have removed the $12.2 million of income generated during the second quarter of 2007 from our results as follows:
