Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]

Fair Value of Financial Assets and Liabilities (All Registrants)

Fair Value of Financial Assets and Liabilities (All Registrants)

Exelon measures and classifies fair value measurements in accordance with the hierarchy as defined by GAAP. The hierarchy prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three levels as follows:

•Level 1 - quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Registrants have the ability to liquidate as of the reporting date.

•Level 2 - inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are directly observable for the asset or liability or indirectly observable through corroboration with observable market data.

•Level 3 - unobservable inputs, such as internally developed pricing models or third-party valuations for the asset or liability due to little or no market activity for the asset or liability.

Fair Value of Financial Liabilities Recorded at Amortized Cost

The following tables present the carrying amounts and fair values of the Registrants’ short-term liabilities, long-term debt, SNF obligation, and trust preferred securities (long-term debt to financing trusts or junior subordinated debentures) as of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020. The Registrants have no financial liabilities classified as Level 1.

The carrying amounts of the Registrants’ short-term liabilities as presented in their Consolidated Balance Sheets are representative of their fair value (Level 2) because of the short-term nature of these instruments.

(b)Includes $109 million and $116 million of cash received from outstanding repurchase agreements at September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively, and is offset by an obligation to repay upon settlement of the agreement as discussed in (e) below.

(c)Includes investments in equities sold short of $(50) million and $(62) million as of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively, held in an investment vehicle primarily to hedge the equity option component of its convertible debt.

(d)Includes net derivative liabilities of less than $1 million and net derivative assets of $2 million, which have total notional amounts of $728 million and $1,043 million at September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively. The notional principal amounts for these instruments provide one measure of the transaction volume outstanding as of the periods ended and do not represent the amount of Exelon and Generation's exposure to credit or market loss.

(e)Excludes net liabilities of $130 million and $181 million at September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively, which include certain derivative assets that have notional amounts of $194 million and $104 million at September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively.

The repurchase agreements are generally short-term in nature with durations generally of 30 days or less.

(f)Includes equity investments held by Generation which were previously designated as equity investments without readily determinable fair value but are now publicly traded and therefore have readily determinable fair values. The first investment became publicly traded in the fourth quarter of 2020. Generation records the fair value of these investments in Other current assets in Exelon's and Generation's Consolidated Balance Sheets based on the quoted market prices of the stocks as of the respective balance sheet date. There were no equity investments without readily determinable fair value that became publicly traded during the third quarter of 2021. For investments that became publicly traded during the first half of 2021, unrealized gains of $220 million were recorded in Other, net in Exelon's and Generation's Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income.

(g)Collateral (received) from counterparties, net of collateral paid to counterparties, totaled $(345) million, $(710) million, and $(590) million allocated to Level 1, Level 2, and Level 3 mark-to-market derivatives, respectively, as of September 30, 2021. Collateral (received)/posted from counterparties, net of collateral paid to counterparties, totaled $(67) million, $321 million, and $162 million allocated to Level 1, Level 2, and Level 3 mark-to-market derivatives, respectively, as of December 31, 2020.

(h)Includes $2,084 million held and $209 million posted of variation margin with the exchanges as of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively.

As of September 30, 2021, Exelon and Generation have outstanding commitments to invest in private credit, private equity, and real estate investments of approximately $359 million, $174 million, and $371 million, respectively. These commitments will be funded by Generation’s existing NDT funds.

Exelon and Generation held investments without readily determinable fair values with carrying amounts of $44 million and $32 million as of September 30, 2021, respectively. Exelon and Generation held investments without readily determinable fair values with carrying amounts of $73 million and $55 million as of December 31, 2020, respectively. Changes in fair value, cumulative adjustments, and impairments were not material for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 and for the year ended December 31, 2020.

Valuation Techniques Used to Determine Fair Value

Exelon’s valuation techniques used to measure the fair value of the assets and liabilities shown in the tables below are in accordance with the policies discussed in Note 18 — Fair Value of Financial Assets and Liabilities of the Exelon 2020 Form 10-K.

Valuation Techniques Used to Determine Net asset Value (Exelon and Generation)

Certain NDT Fund Investments are not classified within the fair value hierarchy and are included under the heading “Not subject to leveling” in the table above. These investments are measured at fair value using NAV per share as a practical expedient and include commingled funds, mutual funds which are not publicly quoted, managed private credit funds, private equity and real estate funds.

For commingled funds and mutual funds, which are not publicly quoted, the fair value is primarily derived from the quoted prices in active markets on the underlying securities and can typically be redeemed monthly with 30 or less days of notice and without further restrictions. For managed private credit funds, the fair value is determined using a combination of valuation models including cost models, market models, and income models and typically cannot be redeemed until maturity of the term loan. Private equity and real estate investments include those in limited partnerships that invest in operating companies and real estate holding companies that are not publicly traded on a stock exchange, such as, leveraged buyouts, growth capital, venture capital, distressed investments, investments in natural resources, and direct investments in pools of real estate properties. These investments typically cannot be redeemed and are generally liquidated over a period of 8 to 10 years from the initial investment date, which is based on Exelon’s understanding of the investment funds. Private equity and real estate valuations are reported by the fund manager and are based on the valuation of the underlying investments, which include inputs such as cost, operating results, discounted future cash flows, market based comparable data, and independent appraisals from sources with professional qualifications. These valuation inputs are unobservable.

Mark-to-Market Derivatives (Exelon, Generation, and ComEd)

The table below discloses the significant inputs to the forward curve used to value mark-to-market derivatives.

Type of trade	Fair Value at September 30, 2021		Fair Value at December 31, 2020		Valuation Technique	Unobservable Input	2021 Range & Arithmetic Average				2020 Range & Arithmetic Average
Mark-to-market derivatives — Economic Hedges (Exelon and Generation)(a)(b)	$	(1,257)	$	245	Discounted Cash Flow	Forward power price	$9.77	-	$301	$55	$2.25	-	$163	$30
						Forward gas price	$1.76	-	$23.00	$4.16	$1.57	-	$7.88	$2.59
					Option Model	Volatility percentage	35%	-	197%	49%	11%	-	237%	32%
Mark-to-market derivatives — Proprietary trading (Exelon and Generation)(a)(b)	$	(14)	$	23	Discounted Cash Flow	Forward power price	$16	-	$156	$53	$10	-	$106	$27
Mark-to-market derivatives (Exelon and ComEd)	$	(214)	$	(301)	Discounted Cash Flow	Forward heat rate(c)	9x	-	10x	9.13x	8x	-	9x	8.85x
						Marketability reserve	3%	-	7%	4.77%	3%	-	8%	4.93%
						Renewable factor	95%	-	122%	100%	91%	-	123%	99%

__________

(a)The valuation techniques, unobservable inputs, ranges and arithmetic averages are the same for the asset and liability positions.

(b)The fair values do not include cash collateral (received)/posted on level three positions of $(590) million and $162 million as of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively.

(c)Quoted forward natural gas rates are utilized to project the forward power curve for the delivery of energy at specified future dates. The natural gas curve is extrapolated beyond its observable period to the end of the contract’s delivery.

The inputs listed above, which are as of the balance sheet date, would have a direct impact on the fair values of the above instruments if they were adjusted. The significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of Generation’s commodity derivatives are forward commodity prices and for options is price volatility. Increases (decreases) in the forward commodity price in isolation would result in significantly higher (lower) fair values for long positions (contracts that give Generation the obligation or option to purchase a commodity), with offsetting impacts to short positions (contracts that give Generation the obligation or right to sell a commodity). Increases (decreases) in volatility would increase (decrease) the value for the holder of the option (writer of the option). Generally, a change in the estimate of forward commodity prices is unrelated to a change in the estimate of volatility of prices. An increase to the reserves listed above would decrease the fair value of the positions. An increase to the heat rate or renewable factors would increase the fair value accordingly. Generally, interrelationships exist between market prices of natural gas and power. As such, an increase in natural gas pricing would potentially have a similar impact on forward power markets.
