1. Basis of Presentation

Description of Business

We are a supplier of clean energy. Our generating capacity includes nuclear, wind, solar, natural gas and hydroelectric assets. Through our integrated business operations, we sell electricity, natural gas, and other energy related products and sustainable solutions to various types of customers, including distribution utilities, municipalities, cooperatives, and commercial, industrial, governmental, and residential customers in competitive markets across multiple geographic regions. We have five reportable segments: Mid-Atlantic, Midwest, New York, ERCOT and Other Power Regions.

Basis of Presentation

On February 21, 2021, the board of directors of Exelon authorized management to pursue a plan to separate its competitive generation and customer-facing energy businesses, conducted through Constellation Energy Generation, LLC (“Constellation”, formerly Exelon Generation Company, LLC) and its subsidiaries, into an independent, publicly-traded company. CEG Parent, a direct, wholly owned subsidiary of Exelon, was newly formed for the purpose of separation and had not engaged in any business activities nor had any assets or liabilities prior to the separation. On February 1, 2022 the separation was completed and CEG Parent holds all the interests in Constellation previously held by Exelon.

As an individual registrant, Constellation has historically filed consolidated financial statements to reflect its financial position and operating results as a stand-alone, wholly owned subsidiary of Exelon. The accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements as of March 31, 2022 and for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021 are unaudited but, in our opinion include all adjustments that are considered necessary for a fair statement of the financial statements in accordance with GAAP. All adjustments are of a normal, recurring nature, except as otherwise disclosed. The Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of our subsidiaries and all intercompany transactions have been eliminated. CEG Parent's prior period financial statements have been adjusted to reflect the balances of Constellation in accordance with applicable guidance. Constellation's December 31, 2021 Consolidated Balance Sheet was derived from audited financial statements. The interim financial statements are to be read in conjunction with prior annual financial statements and notes. Financial results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for any other interim period or for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2022. These Combined Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC for Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q. Certain information and note disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. Amounts disclosed relate to CEG Parent and Constellation unless specifically noted as relating to CEG Parent only. Unless otherwise indicated or the context otherwise requires, references herein to the terms “we,” “us,” and “our” refer collectively to CEG Parent and Constellation.

Separation from Exelon

On February 1, 2022, Exelon completed the separation through a pro-rata distribution of all of the outstanding shares of our common stock, no par value, on the basis of one such share for every three shares of Exelon common stock held on January 20, 2022, the record date of the distribution. We are now an independent, publicly traded company listed on the Nasdaq Stock Market under the symbol “CEG”, and regular-way trading began on February 2, 2022. Exelon no longer retains any ownership interest in CEG Parent or Constellation.

Prior to completion of the separation, our financial statements include certain transactions with affiliates of Exelon, which are disclosed as related party transactions. After February 1, 2022, all transactions with Exelon or its affiliates are no longer related party transactions.

Note 1 — Basis of Presentation

In order to govern the ongoing relationships with Exelon after the separation, and to facilitate an orderly transition, we entered into several agreements with Exelon, including the following:

•Separation Agreement – sets forth the principal actions to be taken in connection with the separation, including the transfer of assets and assumption of liabilities and establishes certain rights and obligations between us following the distribution

• Transition Services Agreement (TSA) – governs all matters relating to the provision of services between us and Exelon on a transitional basis, in addition to providing us with certain services for an expected period of two-years, provided that certain services may be longer than the term and services may be extended with approval from both parties; the services include support for information technology, accounting, finance, human resources, security, and various other administrative and operational services

• Employee Matters Agreement (EMA) – addresses certain employment, compensation and benefits matters, including the allocation of employees between us and Exelon and the allocation and treatment of certain assets and liabilities relating to our employees and former employees

• Tax Matters Agreement (TMA) - governs the respective rights, responsibilities, and obligations between us and Exelon with respect to all tax matters (excluding employee related taxes covered under EMA), in addition to certain restrictions which generally prohibit us from taking or failing to take any action in the two-year period following the distribution that would prevent the distribution from qualifying as tax-free for U.S. federal income tax purposes, including limitations on our ability to pursue certain equity issuances, strategic transactions, repurchases or other transactions

Pursuant to the Separation Agreement, we received a cash contribution of $1.75 billion from Exelon on January 31, 2022, the proceeds of which were used to settle $258 million of an intercompany loan from Exelon and $200 million of short-term debt outstanding prior to separation, in addition to a $192 million contribution to our pension plans. We also entered into two new five-year facility agreements providing $4.5 billion of capacity.

Pursuant to the TSA, for the period from February 1, 2022 to March 31, 2022, the amounts we billed Exelon and Exelon billed us for these services were $9 million and $56 million, respectively.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

See Note 1 — Significant Accounting Policies of our 2021 Form 10-K for additional information on significant accounting policies. At March 31, 2022 the following policy was added as a result of separation.

Retirement Benefits

Effective upon separation, we sponsor defined benefit pension plans and OPEB plans as described in Note 10 — Retirement Benefits. The plan obligations and costs of providing benefits under these plans were measured as of February 1, 2022. The measurement involved various factors, assumptions, and accounting elections. The impact of assumption changes or experience different from that assumed on pension and OPEB obligations is recognized over time rather than immediately recognized in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income. Gains or losses more than the greater of ten percent of the projected benefit obligation or the MRV of plan assets are amortized over the expected average remaining service period of plan participants.

2. Mergers, Acquisitions, and Dispositions

Agreement for Sale of Our Solar Business

On December 8, 2020, we entered into an agreement with an affiliate of Brookfield Renewable, for the sale of a significant portion of our solar business, including 360 MW of generation in operation or under construction across more than 600 sites across the United States. We will retain certain solar assets not included in this agreement, primarily Antelope Valley.

Note 2 — Mergers, Acquisitions, and Dispositions

Completion of the transaction contemplated by the sale agreement was subject to the satisfaction of several closing conditions that were satisfied in the first quarter of 2021. The sale was completed on March 31, 2021 for a purchase price of $810 million. We received cash proceeds of $675 million, net of $125 million long-term debt assumed by the buyer and certain working capital and other post-closing adjustments. We recognized a pre-tax gain of $68 million which is included in Gain on sales of assets and businesses in the Consolidated Statement of Operations and Comprehensive Income.

See Note 17 — Debt and Credit Agreements of our 2021 Form 10-K for additional information on the SolGen nonrecourse debt included as part of the transaction.

3. Regulatory Matters

The following matters below discuss the status of our material regulatory and legislative proceedings.

Impacts of the February 2021 Extreme Cold Weather Event and Texas-based Generating Assets Outages

Beginning on February 15, 2021, our Texas-based generating assets within the ERCOT market, specifically Colorado Bend II, Wolf Hollow II, and Handley, experienced outages as a result of extreme cold weather conditions. In addition, those weather conditions drove increased demand for service, dramatically increased wholesale power prices, and also increased gas prices in certain regions. In response to the high demand and significantly reduced total generation on the system, the PUCT directed ERCOT to use an administrative price cap of $9,000 per MWh during firm load shedding events.

The estimated impact to our Net income for the three months ended March 31, 2022 was an increase of approximately $30 million and is primarily the result of impacts from a payment to ERCOT from a defaulting market participant and the settlement of a dispute related to gas penalties. The estimated impact to our Net income for the three months ended March 31, 2021 arising from these market and weather conditions was a reduction of approximately $880 million.

Due to the event, a number of ERCOT market participants experienced bankruptcies or defaulted on payments to ERCOT, with approximately $1.9 billion and $2.5 billion of remaining defaults as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively, which is allocated to the remaining ERCOT market participants. We recorded our estimated obligation of the remaining defaults, net of legislative solutions and on a discounted basis, of approximately $16 million and $17 million as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively, which was expected to be paid over a term of 62 years and 83 years, respectively.

Additionally, several legislative proposals were introduced in the Texas legislature during February and March 2021 concerning the amount, timing and allocation of recovery of the $3.0 billion peak defaults, as well as recovery of other costs associated with the PUCT's directive to set prices at $9,000 per MWh. Two of these proposals were enacted into law in June 2021 and establish financing mechanisms that ERCOT and certain market participants can utilize to fund amounts owed to ERCOT. Securitization of defaults of competitive retail providers has been completed and a market participant securitized its debt and repaid amounts owed to ERCOT, both of which reduce our obligation. We participated in proceedings before the PUCT addressing the proposed allocation of the $2.1 billion in securitized funds for reliability and ancillary service charges over $9,000 per MWh. In September 2021, we entered into a settlement agreement and stipulation to resolve the allocation issues. The PUCT approved the settlement agreement and stipulation on October 13, 2021. ERCOT has indicated that funds approved under the settlement agreement and stipulation are expected to be disbursed in June 2022. In the first quarter of 2022, a hearing began on ERCOT’s $1.9 billion claim in another market participant’s bankruptcy, which is now in mediation.

Note 3 — Regulatory Matters

In February 2021, more than 70 local distribution companies (LDCs) and natural gas pipelines in multiple states throughout the mid-continent region, where we serve natural gas customers, issued operational flow orders (OFOs), curtailments or other limitations on natural gas transportation or use to manage the operational integrity of the applicable LDC or pipeline system. When in effect, gas transportation or use above these limitations is subject to significant penalties according to the applicable LDCs’ and natural gas pipelines’ tariffs. Gas transportation and supply in many states became restricted due to wells freezing and pipeline compression disruption, while demand was increasing due to the extreme cold temperatures, resulting in extremely high natural gas prices. Due to the extraordinary circumstances, many LDCs and natural gas pipelines have either voluntarily waived or have sought applicable regulatory approvals to waive the tariff penalties associated with the extreme weather event. During May 2021, an LDC filed a motion with the Kansas Corporation Commission (KCC) requesting the KCC to grant a waiver from the tariff and allow the LDC to reduce the amounts assessed by permitting the removal of a multiplier from the penalty calculation. On January 20, 2022, a unanimous settlement was filed with the KCC that amended previously filed October 8, 2021 and November 30, 2021 nonunanimous settlements. On March 3, 2022, the KCC approved the unanimous settlement, resolving this matter.

Operating License Renewals

Peach Bottom Units 2 and 3. On March 6, 2020, the NRC approved a second 20-year license renewal for Peach Bottom Units 2 and 3. As a result, Peach Bottom Units 2 and 3 were granted the authority to operate through 2053 and 2054, respectively.

On February 24, 2022, the NRC issued an order related to its review of our subsequent license renewal application for Peach Bottom. While the NRC had previously granted subsequent license renewal to the Peach Bottom units, the NRC was responding to a request for hearing that had not previously been adjudicated. In its decision, the NRC reversed itself and concluded that the previous environmental review required by the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) was incomplete because it did not adequately address environmental impacts resulting from renewing the units’ licenses for 20 years. As a result, the NRC directed its staff to change the expiration dates for the licenses back to 2033 and 2034, until the completion of the NEPA analysis. The NRC directed, however, that the subsequently renewed licenses themselves remain in effect. The NRC also stated that it fully expects that the staff will complete its update of the NEPA analysis before 2033. We expect that the license expiration dates will be restored to 2053 and 2054, respectively, once the NRC's reevaluation of environmental impacts resulting from subsequent license renewal is complete. On March 7, 2022, we filed a petition requesting that the NRC reevaluate its decision to amend the expiration dates of the Peach Bottom licenses. There is no specific deadline by which the NRC must act on our petition, and we cannot reasonably predict the outcome of this proceeding. On March 25, 2022, the NRC staff issued a letter to us with amendments to the Peach Bottom license, reverting the expiration dates to 2033 and 2034, as directed by the NRC in its February 24th order. Depreciation provisions and ARO assumed retirement dates continue to assume Peach Bottom Units 2 and 3 will operate through 2053 and 2054, respectively, given our expectation that the previously approved expiration dates will be restored.

4. Revenue from Contracts with Customers

We recognize revenue from contracts with customers to depict the transfer of goods or services to customers at an amount that we expect to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services. Our primary sources of revenue include competitive sales of power, natural gas, and other energy-related products and services.

See Note 4 — Revenue from Contracts with Customers of our 2021 Form 10-K for additional information regarding the primary sources of revenue.

Contract Balances

Contract Assets

We record contract assets for the revenue recognized on the construction and installation of energy efficiency assets and new power generating facilities before we have an unconditional right to bill for and receive the consideration from the customer. These contract assets are subsequently reclassified to receivables when the right to payment becomes unconditional. We record contract assets and contract receivables in Other current assets and Customer accounts receivable, net, respectively, in the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Revenue Disaggregation

We disaggregate the revenue recognized from contracts with customers into categories that depict how the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows are affected by economic factors. See Note 5 — Segment Information for the presentation of revenue disaggregation.

5. Segment Information

Operating segments are determined based on information used by the CODM in deciding how to evaluate performance and allocate resources. We have five reportable segments consisting of the Mid-Atlantic, Midwest, New York, ERCOT, and all other power regions referred to collectively as “Other Power Regions.”

The basis for our reportable segments is the integrated management of our electricity business that is located in different geographic regions, and largely representative of the footprints of ISO/RTO and/or NERC regions, which utilize multiple supply sources to provide electricity through various distribution channels (wholesale and retail). Our hedging strategies and risk metrics are also aligned to these same geographic regions. Descriptions of each of our five reportable segments are as follows:

•Mid-Atlantic represents operations in the eastern half of PJM, which includes New Jersey, Maryland, Virginia, West Virginia, Delaware, the District of Columbia, and parts of Pennsylvania and North Carolina.

•Midwest represents operations in the western half of PJM and the United States footprint of MISO, excluding MISO’s Southern Region.

•New York represents operations within NYISO.

•ERCOT represents operations within Electric Reliability Council of Texas that covers a majority of the state of Texas.

•Other Power Regions:

•New England represents operations within ISO-NE.

•South represents operations in the FRCC, MISO’s Southern Region, and the remaining portions of the SERC not included within MISO or PJM.

•West represents operations in the WECC, which includes CAISO.

•Canada represents operations across the entire country of Canada and includes AESO, OIESO, and the Canadian portion of MISO.

Note 5 — Segment Information

The CODM evaluates the performance of our electric business activities and allocates resources based on Revenues less Purchased Power and Fuel Expense (RNF). We believe this is a useful measurement of operational performance, although it is not a presentation defined under GAAP and may not be comparable to other companies’ presentations or deemed more useful than the GAAP information provided elsewhere in this report. Our operating revenues include all sales to third parties and affiliate sales to Exelon's utility subsidiaries prior to the separation on February 1, 2022. Purchased power costs include all costs associated with the procurement and supply of electricity including capacity, energy, and ancillary services. Fuel expense includes the fuel costs for our owned generation and fuel costs associated with tolling agreements. The results of our other business activities are not regularly reviewed by the CODM and are therefore not classified as operating segments or included in the regional reportable segment amounts. These activities include natural gas, as well as other miscellaneous business activities that are not significant to our overall operating revenues or results of operations. Further, our unrealized mark-to-market gains and losses on economic hedging activities and our amortization of certain intangible assets and liabilities relating to commodity contracts recorded at fair value from mergers and acquisitions are also excluded from the regional reportable segment amounts. The CODM does not use a measure of total assets in making decisions regarding allocating resources to or assessing the performance of these reportable segments.

The following tables disaggregate the revenue recognized from contracts with customers into categories that depict how the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows are affected by economic factors. The disaggregation of revenues reflects our two primary products of power sales and natural gas sales, with further disaggregation of power sales provided by geographic region. The following tables also show the reconciliation of reportable segment revenues and RNF to our total revenues and RNF for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021.

Unbilled Customer Revenue

We recorded $360 million and $373 million of unbilled customer revenues in Customer accounts receivables, net in the Consolidated Balance Sheets as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively.

Sales of Customer Accounts Receivable

On April 8, 2020, NER, a bankruptcy remote, special purpose entity, which is wholly owned by us, entered into a revolving accounts receivable financing arrangement with a number of financial institutions and a commercial paper conduit (the Purchasers) to sell certain customer accounts receivable (the Facility). The Facility has a maximum funding limit of $900 million and is scheduled to expire on March 29, 2024, unless renewed by the mutual consent of the parties in accordance with its terms. Under the Facility, NER may sell eligible short-term customer accounts receivable to the Purchasers in exchange for cash and subordinated interest. The transfers are reported as sales of receivables in the consolidated financial statements. The subordinated interest in collections upon the receivables sold to the Purchasers is referred to as the DPP, which is reflected in Other current assets in the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

The Facility requires the balance of eligible receivables to be maintained at or above the balance of cash proceeds received from the Purchasers. To the extent the eligible receivables decrease below such balance, we are required to repay cash to the Purchasers. When eligible receivables exceed cash proceeds, we have the ability to increase the cash received up to the maximum funding limit. These cash inflows and outflows impact the DPP.

(b)Does not include $400 million in cash proceeds received from the Purchasers in the first quarter of 2021.

Our risk of loss following the transfer of accounts receivable is limited to the DPP outstanding. Payment of DPP is not subject to significant risks other than delinquencies and credit losses on accounts receivable transferred, which have historically been and are expected to be immaterial. We continue to service the receivables sold in exchange for a servicing fee. We did not record a servicing asset or liability as the servicing fees were immaterial.

We recognize the cash proceeds received upon sale in Net cash provided by operating activities in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. The collection and reinvestment of DPP is recognized in Net cash provided by investing activities in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.

See Note 13 — Fair Value of Financial Assets and Liabilities and Note 17 — Variable Interest Entities for additional information.

Other Purchases and Sales of Customer and Other Accounts Receivables

7. Early Plant Retirements

We continuously evaluate factors that affect the current and expected economic value of our plants, including, but not limited to: market power prices, results of capacity auctions, potential legislative and regulatory solutions

Table of Contents

Combined Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

(Dollars in millions, unless otherwise noted)

Note 7 — Early Plant Retirements

to ensure plants are fairly compensated for benefits they provide through their carbon-free emissions, reliability or fuel security, and the impact of potential rules from the EPA requiring reduction of carbon and other emissions and the efforts of states to implement those final rules. The precise timing of an early retirement date for any plant, and the resulting financial statement impacts, may be affected by many factors, including the status of potential regulatory or legislative solutions, results of any transmission system reliability study assessments, the nature of any co-owner requirements and stipulations, and NDT fund requirements for nuclear plants, among other factors. However, the earliest retirement date for any plant would usually be the first year in which the unit does not have capacity or other obligations, and where applicable, just prior to its next scheduled nuclear refueling outage.

Nuclear Generation

On August 27, 2020, we announced our intention to permanently cease our operations at Byron in September 2021 and at Dresden in November 2021. Neither of these nuclear plants cleared in PJM’s capacity auction for the 2022-2023 planning year held in May 2021. Our Braidwood and LaSalle nuclear plants in Illinois did clear in the capacity auction, but were also showing increased signs of economic distress. On September 15, 2021, we announced that we have reversed our previous decision to retire Byron and Dresden given the opportunity for additional revenue under the Clean Energy Law. Our Byron, Dresden, and Braidwood nuclear plants participated in the CMC procurement process and were awarded contracts that commit each plant to operate through May 31, 2027. In addition, we no longer consider the Braidwood or LaSalle nuclear plants to be at risk for premature retirement. See Note 3 — Regulatory Matters of our 2021 Form 10-K for additional information.

As a result of the decision to early retire Byron and Dresden, there were ongoing annual financial impacts stemming from shortening the expected economic useful lives of these nuclear plants primarily related to accelerated depreciation of plant assets (including any ARC), accelerated amortization of nuclear fuel, and changes in ARO accretion expense associated with the changes in decommissioning timing and cost assumptions to reflect an earlier retirement date.

The total impact for the three months ended March 31, 2021 in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income resulting from the initial decision to early retire Byron and Dresden is summarized in the table below.


Income statement expense (pre-tax)	Three Months Ended March 31, 2021
Depreciation and amortization
Accelerated depreciation(a)	$	620
Accelerated nuclear fuel amortization	54
Operating and maintenance

Other charges	2
Contractual offset(b)	(226)
Total	$	450

_________

(a)Includes the accelerated depreciation of plant assets including any ARC.

(b)Reflects contractual offset for ARO accretion, ARC depreciation, ARO remeasurement, and excludes any changes in earnings in the NDT funds. Based on the regulatory agreement with the ICC, decommissioning-related activities are offset in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income as long as the net cumulative decommissioning-related activity result in a regulatory liability at ComEd. The offset resulted in an equal adjustment to the noncurrent payables to ComEd.

We remain committed to continued operations for our other nuclear plants receiving state-supported payments under the Illinois ZES (Clinton and Quad Cities), New Jersey ZEC program (Salem), and the New York CES (FitzPatrick, Ginna, and Nine Mile Point) assuming the continued effectiveness of each program. To the extent each program does not operate as expected over the full term, each of these plants would be at heightened risk for early retirement, which could have a material impact in future financial statements.

We continue to work with stakeholders on state policy solutions to support continued operation of our nuclear fleet, while also advocating for broader market reforms at the regional and federal level. The absence of such solutions or reforms could have a material unfavorable impact on our future results of operations.

Note 7 — Early Plant Retirements

Other Generation

In March 2018, we notified ISO-NE of our plans to early retire, among other assets, the Mystic Generating Station's units 8 and 9 (Mystic 8 and 9) absent regulatory reforms to properly value reliability and regional fuel security. Thereafter, ISO-NE identified Mystic 8 and 9 as being needed to ensure fuel security for the region and entered into a cost of service agreement with these two units for the period between June 1, 2022 - May 31, 2024. The agreement was approved by FERC in December 2018.

On June 10, 2020, we filed a complaint with FERC against ISO-NE stating that ISO-NE failed to follow its tariff with respect to its evaluation of Mystic 8 and 9 for transmission security for the 2024 to 2025 Capacity Commitment Period and that the modifications that ISO-NE made to its unfiled planning procedures to avoid retaining Mystic 8 and 9 should have been filed with FERC for approval. On August 17, 2020, FERC issued an order denying the complaint. As a result, on August 20, 2020, we announced we will permanently cease generation operations at Mystic 8 and 9 at the expiration of the cost of service commitment in May 2024. See Note 3 — Regulatory Matters of our 2021 Form 10-K for additional discussion of Mystic's cost of service agreement.

As a result of the decision to early retire Mystic 8 and 9, there are annual financial impacts stemming from shortening the expected economic useful life of Mystic 8 and 9 primarily related to accelerated depreciation of plant assets. We recorded an immaterial amount of incremental Depreciation and amortization expense for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and $20 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021.

8. Nuclear Decommissioning

Nuclear Decommissioning Asset Retirement Obligations

We have a legal obligation to decommission our nuclear power plants following the permanent cessation of operations. To estimate our decommissioning obligations related to our nuclear generating stations for financial accounting and reporting purposes, we use a probability-weighted, discounted cash flow model which, on a unit-by-unit basis, considers multiple outcome scenarios that include significant estimates and assumptions, and are based on decommissioning cost studies, cost escalation rates, probabilistic cash flow models, and discount rates. We update our AROs annually, unless circumstances warrant more frequent updates, based on our review of updated cost studies and our annual evaluation of cost escalation factors and probabilities assigned to various scenarios.

The financial statement impact for changes in the ARO, on an individual unit basis, due to the changes in and timing of estimated cash flows generally result in a corresponding change in the unit’s ARC in Property, plant, and equipment in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. If the ARO decreases for a Non-Regulatory Agreement unit without any remaining ARC, the corresponding change is recorded as a decrease in Operating and maintenance expense in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income.

The following table provides a rollforward of the nuclear decommissioning AROs reflected in the Consolidated Balance Sheets from December 31, 2021 to March 31, 2022:


Balance as of December 31, 2021(a)	$	12,676
Net increase due to changes in, and timing of, estimated future cash flows	335
Accretion expense	129
Costs incurred related to decommissioning plants	(17)
Balance as of March 31, 2022(a)	$	13,123

__________

(a)Includes $61 million and $72 million as the current portion of the ARO as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively, which is included in Other current liabilities in the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Table of Contents

Combined Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

(Dollars in millions, unless otherwise noted)

Note 8 — Nuclear Decommissioning

During the three months ended March 31, 2022, the net $335 million increase in the ARO for the changes in the amounts and timing of estimated decommissioning cash flows was driven by multiple adjustments, including the following:

•An increase of approximately $320 million due to revisions to the projected decommissioning schedule for our New York nuclear plants in connection with our separation from Exelon as discussed further below

•An increase of approximately $95 million due to higher estimated decommissioning costs resulting from the completion of updated cost studies for our New York nuclear plants

•A decrease of approximately $80 million due to an increase in discount rates

NDT Funds

We had NDT funds totaling $15,462 million and $16,064 million as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. The NDT funds also include $190 million and $126 million for the current portion of the NDT funds as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively, which are included in Other current assets in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. See Note 18 — Supplemental Financial Information for additional information on activities of the NDT funds.

Payable Related to Regulatory Agreement Units

We have noncurrent payables to ComEd and PECO as a result of the nuclear decommissioning contractual construct whereby, to the extent NDT funds remain upon completion of required decommissioning, such amounts are due back to ComEd and PECO, as applicable, for payment to their respective customers. See Note 10 — Asset Retirement Obligations of our 2021 Form 10-K for additional information.

The following table presents our noncurrent payables to ComEd and PECO which are recorded as Payable related to Regulatory Agreement Units as of March 31, 2022 and noncurrent Payables to affiliates as of December 31, 2021:


	March 31, 2022		December 31, 2021
ComEd	$	2,484	$	2,760
PECO	485		597

NRC Minimum Funding Requirements

NRC regulations require that licensees of nuclear generating facilities demonstrate reasonable assurance that funds will be available in specified minimum amounts to decommission the facility at the end of its life.

We filed our biennial decommissioning funding status report with the NRC on February 24, 2021 for all units, including our shutdown units, except for Zion Station which is included in a separate report to the NRC submitted by ZionSolutions, LLC. The status report demonstrated adequate decommissioning funding assurance as of December 31, 2020 for all units except for Byron Units 1 and 2. We filed an updated decommissioning funding status report for Byron Units 1 and 2 and Dresden Units 2 and 3 on September 28, 2021 based on their current license expiration dates consistent with our announcements regarding the continued operations of these units. This report demonstrated adequate decommissioning funding assurance as of December 31, 2020 for Byron Units 1 and 2 and Dresden Units 2 and 3.

On March 23, 2022, we filed our annual decommissioning funding status report with the NRC for our shutdown units (excluding Zion station for the reason noted above). The annual status report demonstrated adequate decommissioning funding assurance, based on the value of the trust funds as of December 31, 2021 for all of our shutdown reactors except for Peach Bottom Unit 1. As a former PECO plant, financial assurance for decommissioning Peach Bottom Unit 1 is provided by the NDT fund, collections from PECO customers, and the ability to adjust those collections in accordance with the approved PAPUC tariff. No additional actions are required aside from the PAPUC filing in accordance with the tariff. See Note 10 – Asset Retirement Obligations of our 2021 Form 10-K for information regarding the amount collected from PECO ratepayers for decommissioning costs of the former PECO nuclear units.

Note 8 — Nuclear Decommissioning

Impact of Separation from Exelon

Satisfying a condition precedent, on December 16, 2021, the NYPSC authorized our separation from Exelon and accepted the terms of a Joint Proposal that became binding upon closing of the separation on February 1, 2022. As part of the Joint Proposal, among other items, we have projected completion of radiological decommissioning and site restoration activities necessary to achieve a partial site release from the NRC (release of the site for unrestricted use, except for any on-site dry cask storage) within 20 years from the end of licensed life for each of our Ginna and FitzPatrick units and from the end of licensed life for the last of the NMP operating units. While there is flexibility under the Joint Proposal, there was an increase to the AROs, as noted above, associated with our New York nuclear plants during the first quarter of 2022.

The Joint Proposal also required a contribution of $15 million to the NDT for NMP Unit 2 in January 2022 and requires various financial assurance mechanisms through the duration of decommissioning and site restoration, including a minimum NDT balance for each unit, adjusted for specific stages of decommissioning, and a parent guaranty for site restoration costs updated annually as site restoration progresses, which must be replaced with a third-party surety bond or equivalent financial instrument in the event we fall below investment grade.

See Note 1 — Basis of Presentation for additional information.

9. Income Taxes

Rate Reconciliation

The effective income tax rate from continuing operations varies from the U.S. federal statutory rate principally due to the following:


	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2022(a)		2021(b)
U.S. federal statutory rate	21.0	%	21.0	%
Increase (decrease) due to:
State income taxes, net of federal income tax benefit	55.2		4.4
Qualified NDT fund income	(127.5)		(5.5)
Amortization of investment tax credit, including deferred taxes on basis differences	(9.2)		0.6
Production tax credits and other credits	(34.8)		1.8
Noncontrolling interests	(1.0)		0.2
Other	9.4		(3.6)
Effective income tax rate(c)	(86.9)	%	18.9	%

__________

(a)Positive percentages represent income tax expense. Negative percentages represent income tax benefit.

(b)Positive percentages represent income tax benefit. Negative percentages represent income tax expense.

(c)The change in effective tax rate in 2022 is primarily due to the impacts of higher net realized and unrealized NDT losses on Income before income taxes.

Recognition of Unrecognized Tax Benefits

The following table presents the unrecognized tax benefits that, if recognized, would decrease the effective tax rate.





March 31, 2022	$	17
December 31, 2021	39

Reasonably possible the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits could significantly increase or decrease within 12 months after the reporting date

No amounts are expected to significantly increase or decrease within 12 months after the reporting date.

Note 9 — Income Taxes

Other Tax Matters

Tax Matters Agreement

In connection with the separation, we entered into a TMA with Exelon. The TMA governs the respective rights, responsibilities, and obligations between us and Exelon after the separation with respect to tax liabilities and benefits, tax attributes, tax returns, tax contests and other tax sharing regarding U.S. federal, state, local and foreign income taxes, other tax matters and related tax returns.

Responsibility and Indemnification for Taxes. As a former subsidiary of Exelon, we have joint and several liability with Exelon to the IRS and certain state jurisdictions relating to the taxable periods that we were included in federal and state filings. However, the TMA specifies the portion of this tax liability for which we bear contractual responsibility, and we and Exelon each agreed to indemnify each other against any amounts for which such indemnified party is not responsible. Specifically, we will be liable for taxes due and payable in connection with tax returns that we are required to file. We will also be liable for our share of certain taxes required to be paid by Exelon with respect to taxable years or periods (or portions thereof) ending on or prior to the separation to the extent that we would have been responsible for such taxes under the Exelon tax sharing agreement then existing. As such, our Consolidated Balance Sheets reflected a payable of $103 million upon separation for tax liabilities where we maintain contractual responsibility to Exelon, with $53 million recognized in Accounts payable and $50 million in Noncurrent other liabilities as of March 31, 2022.

Tax Refunds and Attributes. The TMA provides for the allocation of certain pre-closing tax attributes between us and Exelon. Tax attributes will be allocated in accordance with the principles set forth in the Exelon tax sharing agreement then existing, unless otherwise required by law. Under the TMA, we will be entitled to refunds for taxes for which we are responsible. In addition, it is expected that Exelon will have tax credit carryforwards that may be used to offset Exelon’s future tax liabilities. A significant portion of such carryforwards were generated by our business. Upon separation we reclassified $508 million from Deferred income taxes to reflect receivables of $11 million and $497 million in Other accounts receivable and Other deferred debits and other assets, respectively, in the Consolidated Balance Sheets for the tax credit carryforwards expected to be utilized by Exelon after separation in accordance with the terms of the TMA.

10. Retirement Benefits

Defined Benefit Pension and OPEB

Effective February 1, 2022, in connection with the separation, pension and OPEB obligations and the related plan assets for current participants (inclusive of employees transferred to us from Exelon upon separation), were transferred to pension and OPEB plans established by us as the plan sponsor. Most current employees participate in the defined benefit pension and OPEB plans that we sponsor. Newly hired employees are generally not eligible for either pension or OPEB benefits; instead, these employees are eligible to receive an enhanced non-discretionary fixed employer contribution under our sponsored defined contribution savings plan.

As the plan sponsor, effective February 1, 2022, our Consolidated Balance Sheets reflect an unfunded PBO equal to an excess of the PBO over the fair value of the plan assets, consistent with a single-employer benefit plan. We no longer account for our interest in Exelon sponsored pension and OPEB plans under the multi-employer benefit plan guidance as we are no longer participants. That previous approach historically resulted in the recognition of a net prepaid pension asset in our Consolidated Balance Sheets representing an excess of contributions over cumulative costs.

Benefit Obligations, Plan Assets, and Funded Status

As of February 1, 2022, we assumed from Exelon the PBO, APBO, and plan assets for our plan participants in connection with the separation. The pension and OPEB plans were remeasured to determine the obligations and related plan assets to be transferred to us as of that date. The pension assets allocated to us were based on the rules prescribed by ERISA for transfers of assets in connection with a pension plan separation. A portion of the Exelon OPEB plan assets, which are held in VEBA trusts, were also allocated to us separately for each funding vehicle based on the ratio of the APBO assumed by us to the total APBO attributed to each funding vehicle.

The remeasurement completed at separation resulted in the recognition of pension obligations of $953 million, net of pension plan assets of $8,267 million, and OPEB obligations of $876 million, net of OPEB plan assets of

Table of Contents

Combined Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

(Dollars in millions, unless otherwise noted)

Note 10 — Retirement Benefits

$904 million. Additionally, we recognized $2,006 million (after-tax) in Accumulated other comprehensive loss for actuarial losses and prior service costs that had accrued over the lives of the plans prior to separation, primarily based on our proportionate share of the total projected pension and OPEB obligations at Exelon prior to separation.

We present our benefit obligations net of plan assets on our balance sheet within the following line items:


	March 31, 2022				December 31, 2021
	Pension Benefits		OPEB		Pension Benefits		OPEB
Prepaid pension asset	$	—	$	—	$	1,683	$	—
Other current liabilities	(10)		(17)		—		—
Pension obligations	(722)		—		—		—
Non-pension postretirement benefit obligations	—		(860)		—		(847)
(Unfunded) funded status (net benefit obligation less plan assets)	$	(732)	$	(877)	$	1,683	$	(847)

Assumptions

The measurement of the plan obligations and costs of providing benefits under our defined benefit and OPEB plans involves various factors, including the development of valuation assumptions and inputs and accounting policy elections. The measurement of benefit obligations and costs is impacted by several assumptions and inputs, as shown below, among other factors. When developing the required assumptions, we consider historical information as well as future expectations.

Expected Rate of Return. In determining the EROA, we consider historical economic indicators (including inflation and GDP growth) that impact asset returns, as well as expectations regarding future long-term capital market performance, weighted by our target asset class allocations.

Discount Rate. The discount rates are determined by developing a spot rate curve based on the yield to maturity of a universe of high-quality non-callable (or callable with make whole provisions) bonds with similar maturities to the related pension and OPEB obligations. The spot rates are used to discount the estimated future benefit distribution amounts under the pension and OPEB plans. The discount rate is the single level rate that produces the same result as the spot rate curve. We utilize an analytical tool developed by our actuaries to determine the discount rates.

Mortality. The mortality assumption is composed of a base table that represents the current expectation of life expectancy of the population adjusted by an improvement scale that attempts to anticipate future improvements in life expectancy. In 2022, we adopted the revised mortality tables and projection scales released by the SOA.

(a)The discount rates above represent the blended rates used to establish the majority of Constellation's pension and OPEB costs.

(b)The investment crediting rate above represents a weighted average rate.

(c)Applicable to our pension and OPEB plans with plan assets, with the OPEB rate representing a weighted average.

Components of Net Periodic Benefit Costs

We report the service cost and other non-service cost components of net periodic benefit costs for all plans separately in our Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income. Effective February 1, 2022, the service cost component will continue to be included in Operating and maintenance expense and Property, plant, and equipment, net (where criteria for capitalization of direct labor has been met) while the non-service cost components will now be included in Other, net, in accordance with single employer plan accounting.

Historically, we were allocated our portion of pension and OPEB service and non-service costs from Exelon, which was included in Operating and maintenance expense. Our portion of the total net periodic benefit costs allocated to us from Exelon in 2022 prior to separation was not material and remains in total Operating and maintenance expense.

The following table presents the components of our net periodic benefit costs, prior to capitalization, for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021:


	Pension Benefits				OPEB
	Three Months Ended March 31,				Three Months Ended March 31,
	2022		2021		2022		2021

(a)The pension and OPEB non-service costs for the three months ended March 31, 2021 totaling ($14) million and ($3) million, respectively, are reflected in Operating and maintenance expense. Effective February 1, 2022, the non-service costs are reflected in Other, net.

Average Remaining Service Period

For pension benefits, we amortize the unrecognized prior service costs (credits) and certain actuarial gains and losses reflected in AOCI, as applicable, based on participants’ average remaining service periods.

Table of Contents

Combined Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

(Dollars in millions, unless otherwise noted)

Note 10 — Retirement Benefits

For OPEB, we amortize the unrecognized prior service costs (credits) reflected in AOCI over participants’ average remaining service period to benefit eligibility age, and amortize certain actuarial gains and losses reflected in AOCI over participants’ average remaining service period to expected retirement.

The resulting average remaining service periods for pension and OPEB were as follows as of March 31, 2022:


			March 31, 2022
Pension plans			12.2
OPEB plans:
Benefit Eligibility Age			7.5
Expected Retirement			8.3

Contributions

We consider various factors when making pension funding decisions, including actuarially determined minimum contribution requirements under ERISA, contributions required to avoid benefit restrictions and at-risk status as defined by the Pension Protection Act of 2006 (the Act), and management of the pension obligation. The Act requires the attainment of certain funding levels to avoid benefit restrictions (such as an inability to pay lump sums or to accrue benefits prospectively), and at-risk status (which triggers higher minimum contribution requirements and participant notification). The contributions below reflect a funding strategy to make levelized annual contributions with the objective of achieving 100% funded status on an ABO basis over time. This level funding strategy helps minimize the volatility of future period required pension contributions. Based on this funding strategy and current market conditions, which are both subject to change, we made our annual qualified pension contribution totaling $192 million in February 2022. There are no additional contributions expected for the remainder of 2022.

Our non-qualified pension plans are not funded given that they are not subject to statutory minimum contribution requirements. While OPEB plans are also not subject to statutory minimum contribution requirements, we do fund certain plans. For our funded OPEB plans, contributions generally equal accounting costs; however, we consider several factors in determining the level of contributions to our OPEB plans, including liabilities management and levels of benefit claims paid. The planned benefit payments to the non-qualified pension plans in 2022 are $9 million and the planned contributions to the OPEB plans, including benefit payments to unfunded plans is $27 million. The benefit payments to the non-qualified pension plans and OPEB plans for the three months ended March 31, 2022 were both $6 million.

Estimated Future Benefit Payments

Estimated future benefit payments to participants in all pension and OPEB plans as of March 31, 2022 were:


	Pension Benefits		OPEB
2022	$	532	$	108
2023	521		108
2024	524		108
2025	536		107
2026	533		107
2027 through 2031	2,710		540
Total estimated future benefits payments through 2031	$	5,356	$	1,078

Plan Assets

On a regular basis, we evaluate our investment strategy to ensure that plan assets will be sufficient to pay plan benefits when due. We have developed and implemented a liability hedging investment strategy for our qualified pension plans that has reduced the volatility of these pension assets relative to the associated pension liabilities. We are likely to continue to gradually increase the liability hedging portfolio as the funded status of the plans improve. The overall objective is to achieve attractive risk-adjusted returns that will balance the liquidity requirements of the plans’ liabilities while striving to minimize the risk of significant losses. Trust assets for our

Note 10 — Retirement Benefits

OPEB plans are managed in a diversified investment strategy that prioritizes maximizing liquidity and returns while minimizing asset volatility.

Defined Contribution Savings Plans

We sponsor the Constellation Employee Savings Plan, a 401(k) defined contribution savings plan. The plan allows employees to contribute a portion of their pre-tax and/or after-tax income in accordance with specified guidelines. We match a percentage of the employee contributions up to certain limits. In addition, certain employees are eligible for a fixed non-discretionary employer contribution in lieu of a pension benefit. The matching contributions to the savings plan were $13 million for both the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021.

11. Derivative Financial Instruments

We use derivative instruments to manage commodity price risk, interest rate risk, and foreign exchange risk related to ongoing business operations.

Authoritative guidance requires that derivative instruments be recognized as either assets or liabilities at fair value, with changes in fair value of the derivative recognized in earnings immediately. Other accounting treatments are available through special election and designation, provided they meet specific, restrictive criteria both at the time of designation and on an ongoing basis. These alternative permissible accounting treatments include NPNS, cash flow hedges, and fair value hedges. All derivative economic hedges related to commodities, referred to as economic hedges, are recorded at fair value through earnings. For all NPNS derivative instruments, accounts receivable or accounts payable are recorded when derivatives settle and revenue or expense is recognized in earnings as the underlying physical commodity is sold or consumed.

Authoritative guidance about offsetting assets and liabilities requires the fair value of derivative instruments to be shown in the Combined Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements on a gross basis, even when the derivative instruments are subject to legally enforceable master netting agreements and qualify for net presentation in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. A master netting agreement is an agreement between two counterparties that may have derivative and non-derivative contracts with each other providing for the net settlement of all referenced contracts via one payment stream, which takes place as the contracts deliver, when collateral is requested or in the event of default. In the tables below, which present fair value balances, our energy-related economic hedges and proprietary trading derivatives are shown gross. The impact of the netting of fair value balances with the same counterparty that are subject to legally enforceable master netting agreements, as well as netting of cash collateral, including margin on exchange positions, is aggregated in the collateral and netting columns.

Our use of cash collateral is generally unrestricted unless we are downgraded below investment grade.

Commodity Price Risk

We employ established policies and procedures to manage our risks associated with market fluctuations in commodity prices by entering into physical and financial derivative contracts, including swaps, futures, forwards, options, and short-term and long-term commitments to purchase and sell energy and commodity products. We believe these instruments, which are either determined to be non-derivative or classified as economic hedges, mitigate exposure to fluctuations in commodity prices.

To the extent the amount of energy we produce differs from the amount of energy we have contracted to sell, we are exposed to market fluctuations in the prices of electricity, natural gas and oil, and other commodities. We use a variety of derivative and non-derivative instruments to manage the commodity price risk of our electric generation facilities, including power and gas sales, fuel and power purchases, natural gas transportation and pipeline capacity agreements, and other energy-related products marketed and purchased. To manage these risks, we may enter into fixed-price derivative or non-derivative contracts to hedge the variability in future cash flows from expected sales of power and gas and purchases of power and fuel. The objectives for executing such hedges include fixing the price for a portion of anticipated future electricity sales at a level that provides an acceptable return. We are also exposed to differences between the locational settlement prices of certain economic hedges and the hedged generating units. This price difference is actively managed through other instruments which include derivative congestion products, whose changes in fair value are recognized in earnings each period, and auction revenue rights, which are accounted for on an accrual basis.

Note 11 — Derivative Financial Instruments

Additionally, we are exposed to certain market risks through our proprietary trading activities. The proprietary trading activities are a complement to our energy marketing portfolio but represent a small portion of our overall energy marketing activities and are subject to limits established by our RMC.

The following tables provide a summary of the derivative fair value balances recorded as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021:

_________

(a)We net all available amounts allowed under the derivative authoritative guidance in the balance sheet. These amounts include unrealized derivative transactions with the same counterparty under legally enforceable master netting agreements and cash collateral. In some cases we may have other offsetting exposures, subject to a master netting or similar agreement, such as trade receivables and payables, transactions that do not qualify as derivatives, letters of credit and other forms of non-cash collateral. These amounts are not material as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021 and not reflected in the table above.

(b)Includes $1,400 million and $897 million of variation margin held from the exchanges as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively.

Economic Hedges (Commodity Price Risk)

For the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, we recognized the following net pre-tax commodity mark-to-market gains (losses) which are also located in the Net fair value changes related to derivatives line in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.


	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2022		2021
Income Statement Location	(Loss) Gain
Operating revenues	$	(919)	$	(83)
Purchased power and fuel	826		265
Total	$	(93)	$	182

In general, increases and decreases in forward market prices have a positive and negative impact, respectively, on owned and contracted generation positions that have not been hedged. For merchant revenues not already hedged via comprehensive state programs, such as the CMC in Illinois, we utilize a three-year ratable sales plan to align our hedging strategy with our financial objectives. The prompt three-year merchant revenues are hedged on an approximate rolling 90%/60%/30% basis. We may also enter into transactions that are outside of this

ratable hedging program. As of March 31, 2022, the percentage of expected generation hedged for the Mid-Atlantic, Midwest, New York, and ERCOT reportable segments is 97%-100% and 86%-89% for 2022 and 2023, respectively.

Proprietary Trading (Commodity Price Risk)

We also execute commodity derivatives for proprietary trading purposes. Proprietary trading includes all contracts executed with the intent of benefiting from shifts or changes in market prices as opposed to those executed with the intent of hedging or managing risk. Gains and losses associated with proprietary trading are reported as Operating revenues in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income and are included in the Net fair value changes related to derivatives line in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. For the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, net pre-tax commodity mark-to-market gains and losses associated with proprietary trading activities were not material.

Interest Rate and Foreign Exchange Risk

We utilize interest rate swaps to manage our interest rate exposure and foreign currency derivatives to manage foreign exchange rate exposure associated with international commodity purchases in currencies other than U.S. dollars, both of which are treated as economic hedges. The notional amounts were $479 million and $486 million as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively.

The mark-to-market derivative assets and liabilities as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021 and the mark-to-market gains and losses associated with management of interest rate and foreign currency risk for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021 were not material.

Credit Risk

We would be exposed to credit-related losses in the event of non-performance by counterparties on executed derivative instruments. The credit exposure of derivative contracts, before collateral, is represented by the fair value of contracts as of the reporting date.

For commodity derivatives, we enter into enabling agreements that allow for payment netting with our counterparties, which reduces our exposure to counterparty risk by providing for the offset of amounts payable to the counterparty against amounts receivable from the counterparty. Typically, each enabling agreement is for a specific commodity and, with respect to each individual counterparty, netting is limited to transactions involving that specific commodity product, except where master netting agreements exist with a counterparty that allows for cross commodity netting. In addition to payment netting language in the enabling agreement, our credit department establishes credit limits, margining thresholds and collateral requirements for each counterparty, which are defined in the derivative contracts. Counterparty credit limits are based on an internal credit review process that considers a variety of factors, including the results of a scoring model, leverage, liquidity, profitability, credit ratings by credit rating agencies, and risk management capabilities. To the extent that a counterparty’s margining thresholds are exceeded, the counterparty is required to post collateral with us as specified in each enabling agreement. Our credit department monitors current and forward credit exposure to counterparties and their affiliates, both on an individual and an aggregate basis.

The following tables provide information on the credit exposure for all derivative instruments, NPNS and payables and receivables, net of collateral and instruments that are subject to master netting agreements, as of March 31, 2022. The tables further delineate that exposure by credit rating of the counterparties and provide guidance on the concentration of credit risk to individual counterparties. The amounts in the tables below exclude credit risk exposure from individual retail counterparties, nuclear fuel procurement contracts, and exposure through RTOs, ISOs, NYMEX, ICE, NGX, and Nodal commodity exchanges.

(a)As of March 31, 2022, credit collateral held from counterparties where we had credit exposure included $131 million of cash and $37 million of letters of credit. The credit collateral does not include non-liquid collateral.

Credit-Risk-Related Contingent Features

As part of the normal course of business, we routinely enter into physically or financially settled contracts for the purchase and sale of electric capacity, electricity, fuels, emissions allowances, and other energy-related products. Certain of our derivative instruments contain provisions that require us to post collateral. We also enter into commodity transactions on exchanges where the exchanges act as the counterparty to each trade. Transactions on the exchanges must adhere to comprehensive collateral and margining requirements. This collateral may be posted in the form of cash or credit support with thresholds contingent upon our credit rating from each of the major credit rating agencies. The collateral and credit support requirements vary by contract and by counterparty. These credit-risk related contingent features stipulate that if we were to be downgraded or lose our investment grade credit rating (based on our senior unsecured debt rating), we would be required to provide additional collateral. This incremental collateral requirement allows for the offsetting of derivative instruments that are assets with the same counterparty, where the contractual right of offset exists under applicable master netting agreements. In the absence of expressly agreed-to provisions that specify the collateral that must be provided, collateral requested will be a function of the facts and circumstances of the situation at the time of the demand. In this case, we believe a combination of several months of future payments (e.g., capacity payments) and a calculation of fair value is the best estimate for the contingent collateral obligation, which has been factored into the disclosure below.

The aggregate fair value of all derivative instruments with credit-risk related contingent features in a liability position that are not fully collateralized (excluding transactions on the exchanges that are fully collateralized) is detailed in the table below:


Credit-Risk Related Contingent Features	March 31, 2022		December 31, 2021
Gross fair value of derivative contracts containing this feature(a)	$	(5,416)	$	(3,872)
Offsetting fair value of in-the-money contracts under master netting arrangements(b)	3,111		2,424
Net fair value of derivative contracts containing this feature(c)	$	(2,305)	$	(1,448)

__________

(a)Amount represents the gross fair value of out-of-the-money derivative contracts containing credit-risk-related contingent features ignoring the effects of master netting agreements.

Note 11 — Derivative Financial Instruments

(b)Amount represents the offsetting fair value of in-the-money derivative contracts under legally enforceable master netting agreements with the same counterparty, which reduces the amount of any liability for which we could potentially be required to post collateral.

(c)Amount represents the net fair value of out-of-the-money derivative contracts containing credit-risk related contingent features after considering the mitigating effects of offsetting positions under master netting arrangements and reflects the actual net liability upon which any potential contingent collateral obligations would be based.

As of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, we posted or held the following amounts of cash collateral and letters of credit on derivative contracts with external counterparties, after giving consideration to offsetting derivative and non-derivative positions under master netting agreements.


	March 31, 2022		December 31, 2021
Cash collateral posted	$	430	$	713
Letters of credit posted	682		755
Cash collateral held	1,068		182
Letters of credit held	41		124
Additional collateral required in the event of a credit downgrade below investment grade	2,838		2,113

We entered into supply forward contracts with certain utilities with one-sided collateral postings only from us. If market prices fall below the benchmark price levels in these contracts, the utilities are not required to post collateral. However, when market prices rise above the benchmark price levels, counterparty suppliers, including us, are required to post collateral once certain unsecured credit limits are exceeded.

Short-Term Loan Agreements

On March 19, 2020, we entered into a term loan agreement for $200 million. The loan agreement was renewed on March 17, 2021 and will expire on March 16, 2022. Pursuant to the loan agreement, loans made thereunder bear interest at a variable rate equal to LIBOR plus 0.875% and all indebtedness thereunder is unsecured. In connection with the separation, we repaid the term loan on January 26, 2022. The loan agreement was reflected in Short-term borrowings in the Consolidated Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2021.

On March 31, 2020, we entered into a term loan agreement for $300 million. We repaid $100 million of the term loan on March 29, 2022. The remaining $200 million from the loan agreement was renewed on March 29, 2022 and will expire on March 29, 2023. Pursuant to the loan agreement, loans made thereunder bear interest at a variable rate equal to SOFR plus 0.80% and all indebtedness thereunder is unsecured. The loan agreement is reflected in Short-term borrowings in the Consolidated Balance Sheet.

On August 6, 2021, we entered into a 364-day term loan agreement for $880 million to fund the purchase of EDF's equity interest in CENG. Pursuant to the loan agreement, loans made thereunder bear interest at a variable rate of LIBOR plus 0.875% until March 31, 2022 and a rate of LIBOR plus 1% thereafter and all indebtedness thereunder is unsecured. The loan agreement was amended on January 24, 2022 to change the maturity date to June 30, 2022 from August 5, 2022. We repaid the term loan on April 15, 2022 that was reflected in Short-term borrowings in the Consolidated Balance Sheets as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021.

In connection with the debt obligations assumed by Exelon as part of the 2012 merger, Exelon and our subsidiaries assumed intercompany loan agreements that mirror the terms and amounts of the third-party debt obligations of Exelon, resulting in intercompany notes payable to Exelon. As of December 31, 2021, we had $319 million recorded to intercompany notes payable to Exelon Corporate. In connection with the separation, on January 31, 2022, we paid cash to Exelon Corporate in the amount of $258 million to settle the intercompany loan with the difference of $61 million recorded to membership interest.

Debt Covenants

As of March 31, 2022, we are in compliance with all debt covenants.

13. Fair Value of Financial Assets and Liabilities

We measure and classify 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 we 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.

Valuation Techniques Used to Determine Fair Value

Our 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 our 2021 Form 10-K.

Valuation Techniques Used to Determine Net Asset Value

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 our 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

See Note 11 — Derivative Financial Instruments for additional information on mark-to-market derivatives.

Note 13 — Fair Value of Financial Assets and Liabilities

The following table presents the significant inputs to the forward curve used to value these positions:


Type of trade	Fair Value as of March 31, 2022		Fair Value as of December 31, 2021		Valuation Technique	Unobservable Input	2022 Range & Arithmetic Average				2021 Range & Arithmetic Average
Mark-to-market derivatives—Economic hedges(a)(b)	$	(990)	$	(66)	Discounted Cash Flow	Forward power price	$8.76	-	$318	$73	$8.86	$481	$55
						Forward gas price	$1.93	-	$29	$4.45	$1.69	$17	$3.50
					Option Model	Volatility percentage	21%	-	178%	64%	24%	284%	56%

__________

(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 on level three positions of $296 million and $34 million as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively.

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 our 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 us the obligation or option to purchase a commodity), with offsetting impacts to short positions (contracts that give us 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.

Environmental Remediation Matters

General. Our operations have in the past, and may in the future, require substantial expenditures to comply with environmental laws. Additionally, under Federal and state environmental laws, we are generally liable for the costs of remediating environmental contamination of property now or formerly owned by us and of property contaminated by hazardous substances generated by us. We own or lease several real estate parcels, including parcels on which our operations or the operations of others may have resulted in contamination by substances that are considered hazardous under environmental laws. In addition, we are currently involved in proceedings relating to sites where hazardous substances have been deposited and may be subject to additional proceedings in the future. Unless otherwise disclosed, we cannot reasonably estimate whether we will incur significant liabilities for additional investigation and remediation costs at these or additional sites identified by us,

Note 14 — Commitments and Contingencies

environmental agencies, or others. Additional costs could have a material, unfavorable impact on our financial statements.

As of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, we had accrued undiscounted amounts of $115 million and $120 million, respectively, for environmental liabilities in Other current liabilities and Other deferred credits and other liabilities in the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Cotter Corporation. The EPA has advised Cotter Corporation (N.S.L.) (Cotter), a former ComEd subsidiary, that it is potentially liable in connection with radiological contamination at two sites in Missouri. In 2000, ComEd sold Cotter to an unaffiliated third-party. As part of the sale, ComEd agreed to indemnify Cotter for any liability arising from these two Missouri superfund sites, West Lake Landfill and Latty Avenue. In connection with Exelon’s 2001 corporate restructuring, this responsibility to indemnify Cotter was transferred to us, and ultimately retained by us per the terms of our separation from Exelon. Refer to Note 1 — Basis of Presentation for additional information on the separation.

West Lake Landfill. Including Cotter, there are three PRPs currently participating in the West Lake Landfill remediation proceeding. Our investigation has identified several other parties who also may be PRPs and could be liable to contribute to the final remedy. Further investigation is ongoing.

In September 2018, the EPA issued its Record of Decision Amendment (RODA) for the selection of a final remedy. The RODA modified the remedy previously selected by EPA in its 2008 Record of Decision (ROD). While the ROD required only that the radiological materials and other wastes at the site be capped, the 2018 RODA requires partial excavation of the radiological materials in addition to the previously selected capping remedy. The RODA also allows for variation in depths of excavation depending on radiological concentrations. The EPA and the PRPs have entered into a Consent Agreement to perform the Remedial Design, which is expected to be completed in the middle of 2024. In March 2019, the PRPs received Special Notice Letters from the EPA to perform the Remedial Action work. On October 8, 2019, as part of a mediation, Cotter (our indemnitee), provided a non-binding good faith offer to conduct, or finance, a portion of the remedy, subject to certain conditions. The total estimated cost of the remedy, considering the current EPA technical requirements and the total costs expected to be incurred collectively by the PRPs in fully executing the remedy, is approximately $290 million, including cost escalation on an undiscounted basis, which would be allocated among the final group of PRPs. We have determined that a loss associated with the EPA’s partial excavation and enhanced landfill cover remedy is probable and have recorded a liability, included in the total amount as discussed above, that reflects management’s best estimate of Cotter’s allocable share of the ultimate cost. Given the joint and several nature of this liability, the magnitude of our ultimate liability will depend on the actual costs incurred to implement the required remedy as well as on the nature and terms of any cost-sharing arrangements with the final group of PRPs. Therefore, it is reasonably possible that the ultimate cost and Cotter's associated allocable share could differ significantly once these uncertainties are resolved, which could have a material impact on our financial statements.

One of the other PRPs has indicated it will be making a contribution claim against Cotter for costs that it has incurred to prevent a subsurface fire from spreading to those areas of the West Lake Landfill where radiological materials are believed to have been disposed. Currently, we do not possess sufficient information to assess this claim and therefore are unable to estimate a range of loss, if any. As such, no liability has been recorded for the potential contribution claim. It is reasonably possible, however, that resolution of this matter could have a material, unfavorable impact on our financial statements.

In January 2018, the PRPs were advised by the EPA that it will begin an additional investigation and evaluation of groundwater conditions at the West Lake Landfill. In September 2018, the PRPs agreed to an Administrative Settlement Agreement and Order on Consent for the performance by the PRPs of the groundwater Remedial Investigation Feasibility Study (RI/FS). The purpose of this RI/FS is to define the nature and extent of any groundwater contamination from the West Lake Landfill site and evaluate remedial alternatives. We estimate the undiscounted cost for the groundwater RI/FS to be approximately $40 million. We determined a loss associated with the RI/FS is probable and have recorded a liability, included in the total amount as discussed above, that reflects management’s best estimate of Cotter’s allocable share of the cost among the PRPs. At this time we cannot predict the likelihood, or the extent to which, if any, remediation activities may be required and therefore cannot estimate a reasonably possible range of loss for response costs beyond those associated with the RI/FS component. It is reasonably possible, however, that resolution of this matter could have a material, unfavorable impact on our financial statements.

Note 14 — Commitments and Contingencies

Latty Avenue. In August 2011, Cotter was notified by the DOJ that Cotter is considered a PRP with respect to the government’s clean-up costs for contamination attributable to low level radioactive residues at a former storage and reprocessing facility named Latty Avenue near St. Louis, Missouri. The radioactive residues had been generated initially in connection with the processing of uranium ores as part of the U.S. Government’s Manhattan Project. Cotter purchased the residues in 1969 for initial processing at the Latty Avenue facility for the subsequent extraction of uranium and metals. In 1976, the NRC found that the Latty Avenue site had radiation levels exceeding NRC criteria for decontamination of land areas. Latty Avenue was investigated and remediated by the United States Army Corps of Engineers pursuant to funding under the Formerly Utilized Sites Remedial Action Program. On August 3, 2020, the DOJ advised Cotter that it is seeking approximately $90 million from all the PRPs and has directed that the PRPs must submit a good faith offer. In December 2021, a good faith offer was submitted to the government and negotiations are expected to commence in the second quarter of 2022. Pursuant to a series of agreements since 2011, the DOJ and the PRPs have tolled the statute of limitations until August 31, 2022 so that settlement discussions can proceed. We have determined that a loss associated with this matter is probable and have recorded an estimated liability, included in the total amount as discussed above, that reflects management's best estimate of Cotter's allocable share of the cost. It is reasonably possible that Cotter's allocable share could differ significantly, which could have a material impact on our financial statements.

Litigation and Regulatory Matters

Asbestos Personal Injury Claims. We maintain a reserve for claims associated with asbestos-related personal injury actions at certain facilities that are currently owned by us or were previously owned by ComEd, PECO, or BGE. The estimated liabilities are recorded on an undiscounted basis and exclude the estimated legal costs associated with handling these matters, which could be material.

At March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, we recorded estimated liabilities of approximately $81 million in total for asbestos-related bodily injury claims. As of March 31, 2022, approximately $20 million of this amount related to 233 open claims presented to us, while the remaining $61 million is for estimated future asbestos-related bodily injury claims anticipated to arise through 2055, based on actuarial assumptions and analyses, which are updated on an annual basis. On a quarterly basis, we monitor actual experience against the number of forecasted claims to be received and expected claim payments and evaluate whether adjustments to the estimated liabilities are necessary.

Impacts of the February 2021 Extreme Cold Weather Event and Texas-based Generating Assets Outages. Beginning on February 15, 2021, our Texas-based generating assets within the ERCOT market, specifically Colorado Bend II, Wolf Hollow II, and Handley, experienced outages as a result of extreme cold weather conditions. In addition, those weather conditions drove increased demand for service, dramatically increased wholesale power prices, and also increased gas prices in certain regions. See Note 3 — Regulatory Matters for additional information.

Various lawsuits have been filed against us since March 2021 related to these events, including:

•On March 5, 2021, we, along with more than 160 power generators and transmission and distribution companies, were sued by approximately 160 individually named plaintiffs, purportedly on behalf of all Texans who allegedly suffered loss of life or sustained personal injury, property damage or other losses as a result of the weather events. The plaintiffs allege that the defendants failed to properly prepare for the cold weather and failed to properly conduct their operations, seeking compensatory as well as punitive damages. On April 26, 2021, another multi-plaintiff lawsuit was filed on behalf of approximately 90 plaintiffs against more than 300 defendants, including us, involving similar allegations of liability and claims of personal injury and property damage. Since March 2021, approximately 60 additional lawsuits, naming multiple defendants including us, were filed by individual or multiple plaintiffs in different Texas counties, all arising out of the February weather events. These additional lawsuits allege wrongful death, property damage, or other losses. Co-defendants in these lawsuits include ERCOT, transmission and distribution utilities and other generators. On December 28, 2021, approximately 130 insurance companies which insured Texas homeowners and businesses filed a subrogation lawsuit against multiple defendants alleging that defendants were at fault for the energy failure that resulted from the winter storm, causing significant property damage to the insureds. Additionally, as of January 28, 2022, we have been added to approximately 80 additional wrongful death, personal injury, and property damage lawsuits through the Multi-District-Litigation (MDL) pending in Texas state court. The MDL now includes all of the above-described Texas state court matters. We are now defendants in approximately

Note 14 — Commitments and Contingencies

150 lawsuits in the MDL brought by several hundred plaintiffs and more than 130 insurance companies. Motions to Dismiss in five bellwether cases are due May 17, 2022. We dispute liability and deny that we are responsible for any of plaintiffs’ alleged claims and are vigorously contesting them. No loss contingencies have been reflected in the consolidated financial statements with respect to these matters, as such contingencies are neither probable nor reasonably estimable at this time.

•On March 22, 2021, an LDC filed a lawsuit in Missouri federal court against us for breach of contract and unjust enrichment, seeking damages of approximately $40 million. The plaintiff claims that we failed to deliver gas to our customers in February of 2021, causing the plaintiff to incur damages by forcing it to purchase gas for our customers and by our refusal to pay the resulting penalties. On March 26, 2021, we filed a complaint with the MPSC against the LDC to void the OFO penalties, or alternatively to grant a waiver or variance from the tariff requirements, to prohibit the LDC from billing or otherwise attempting to collect from us or any Missouri customer any portion of the penalties claimed by the LDC until the resolution of the complaint, and to prohibit the LDC from taking any retaliatory measure, including termination of service. On September 1, 2021, the MPSC consolidated our complaint with two other similar complaints from other companies. On January 4, 2022, the court denied our motion to dismiss, but in the alternative granted its motion to stay pending MPSC resolution of our complaint. The MPSC has abated its procedural schedule at this time. Based on the penalty provisions within the tariff that was in effect at the relevant time, we have recorded a liability of approximately $40 million as of March 31, 2022. On May 11, 2022, a settlement was filed with the MPSC that, if approved, would cause the LDC to move for the final dismissal of the federal court lawsuit, effectively resolving both matters. We cannot reasonably predict the outcome of this proceeding.

General. We are involved in various other litigation matters that are being defended and handled in the ordinary course of business. The assessment of whether a loss is probable or reasonably possible, and whether the loss or a range of loss is estimable, often involves a series of complex judgments about future events. We maintain accruals for such losses that are probable of being incurred and subject to reasonable estimation. Management is sometimes unable to estimate an amount or range of reasonably possible loss, particularly where (1) the damages sought are indeterminate, (2) the proceedings are in the early stages, or (3) the matters involve novel or unsettled legal theories. In such cases, there is considerable uncertainty regarding the timing or ultimate resolution of such matters, including a possible eventual loss.

15. Stock-Based Compensation Plans

Stock-Based Compensation

Effective February 1, 2022, we established our own LTIP and began granting cash and stock-based awards that primarily include performance share awards and restricted stock units. Our LTIP authorized 20,000,000 shares of common stock for these awards. The existing, unvested cash and stock-based awards issued through the Exelon LTIP were modified in connection with the separation to align with our performance metrics and maintain an equivalent value immediately before and after separation. The impact of this modification was not material to our stock-based compensation expense for the three months ended March 31, 2022.

The following table presents the stock-based compensation expense included in our Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income. The information does not include expenses related to the cash awards as they are not considered stock-based compensation plans under the applicable authoritative guidance.


	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2022		2021
Total stock-based compensation expense included in operating and maintenance expense	$	14	$	12

Performance Share Awards

Table of Contents

Combined Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

(Dollars in millions, unless otherwise noted)

Note 15 — Stock-Based Compensation Plans

Performance share awards are granted under the LTIP. The performance share awards are typically settled 50% in common stock and 50% in cash at the end of the three-year performance period, subject to certain ownership thresholds that, if met, may result in cash settlement of the entire award.

The common stock portion of the performance share awards is considered an equity award and is valued based on our stock price on the grant date. The cash portion of the performance share awards is considered a liability award which is remeasured each reporting period based on the current stock price. As the value of the common stock and cash portions of the awards are based on the stock price during the performance period, coupled with changes in the total expected payout of the award, the compensation costs are subject to volatility until payout is established.

For nonretirement-eligible employees, stock-based compensation costs are recognized over the vesting period of three years using the straight-line method. For performance share awards granted to retirement-eligible employees, the value of the performance shares is recognized ratably over the vesting period, which is the year of grant. We process forfeitures as they occur for employees who do not complete the requisite service period.

During the three months ended March 31, 2022, we granted performance share awards, inclusive of those converted at separation, totaling 1,514,288 with a weighted-average grant date fair value of $48.35. As of March 31, 2022, $33 million of total unrecognized compensation costs related to nonvested performance shares are expected to be recognized over the remaining weighted-average period of 2.4 years.

Restricted Stock Units

Restricted stock units are granted under the LTIP with the majority being settled in a specific number of shares of common stock after the service condition has been met. The corresponding cost is measured based on the grant date fair value of the restricted stock unit issued.

The value of the restricted stock units is expensed over the requisite service period using the straight-line method. The requisite service period for restricted stock units is generally three to five years. However, certain restricted stock unit awards become fully vested upon the employee reaching retirement eligibility. The value of the restricted stock units granted to retirement-eligible employees is either recognized ratably over the first six months in the year of grant if the employee reaches retirement eligibility prior to July 1st of the grant year or through the date of which the employee reaches retirement eligibility. We process forfeitures as they occur for employees who do not complete the requisite service period.

During the three months ended March 31, 2022, we granted restricted stock units, inclusive of those converted at separation, totaling 1,283,406 with a grant date fair value of $47.20. As of March 31, 2022, $38 million of total unrecognized compensation costs related to nonvested restricted stock units are expected to be recognized over the remaining weighted-average period of 2.6 years.

17. Variable Interest Entities

At March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, we consolidated several VIEs or VIE groups for which we are the primary beneficiary (see Consolidated VIEs below) and had significant interests in several other VIEs for which we do not have the power to direct the entities’ activities and, accordingly, we were not the primary beneficiary (see Unconsolidated VIEs below). Consolidated and unconsolidated VIEs are aggregated to the extent that the entities have similar risk profiles.

(Dollars in millions, unless otherwise noted)

Note 17 — Variable Interest Entities

As of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, our consolidated VIEs included the following:


Consolidated VIE or VIE groups:	Reason entity is a VIE:	Reason we are the primary beneficiary:
CRP - A collection of wind and solar project entities. We have a 51% equity ownership in CRP. See additional discussion below.	Similar structure to a limited partnership and the limited partners do not have kick out rights with respect to the general partner.	We conduct the operational activities.
Bluestem Wind Energy Holdings, LLC - A Tax Equity structure which is consolidated by CRP. We have a noncontrolling interest.	Similar structure to a limited partnership and the limited partners do not have kick out rights with respect to the general partner.	We conduct the operational activities.
Antelope Valley - A solar generating facility, which is 100% owned by us. Antelope Valley sells all of its output to PG&E through a PPA.	The PPA contract absorbs variability through a performance guarantee.	We conduct all activities.
NER - A bankruptcy remote, special purpose entity which is 100% owned by us, which purchases certain of our customer accounts receivable arising from the sale of retail electricity. NER’s assets will be available first and foremost to satisfy the claims of the creditors of NER. Refer to Note 6 —Accounts Receivable for additional information on the sale of receivables.	Equity capitalization is insufficient to support its operations.	We conduct all activities.

CRP - CRP is a collection of wind and solar project entities and some of these project entities are VIEs that are consolidated by CRP. While we or CRP own 100% of the solar entities and 100% of the majority of the wind entities, it has been determined that the wholly owned solar and wind entities are VIEs because the entities' customers absorb price variability from the entities through fixed price power and/or REC purchase agreements. Additionally, for the wind entities that have minority interests, it has been determined that these entities are VIEs because the governance rights of some investors are not proportional to their financial rights. We are the primary beneficiary of these solar and wind entities that qualify as VIEs because we control operations and direct all activities of the facilities. There is limited recourse to us related to certain solar and wind entities.

In 2017, our interests in CRP were contributed to and are pledged for the CR non-recourse debt project financing structure. Refer to Note 17 — Debt and Credit Agreements of our 2021 Form 10-K for additional information.

Unconsolidated VIEs

Our variable interests in unconsolidated VIEs generally include equity investments and energy purchase and sale contracts. For the equity investments, the carrying amount of the investments is reflected in the Consolidated Balance Sheets in Investments. For the energy purchase and sale contracts (commercial agreements), the carrying amount of assets and liabilities in the Consolidated Balance Sheets that relate to our involvement with the VIEs are predominantly related to working capital accounts and generally represent the amounts owed by, or owed to, us for the deliveries associated with the current billing cycles under the commercial agreements.

As of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, we had significant unconsolidated variable interests in several VIEs for which we were not the primary beneficiary. These interests include certain equity method investments and certain commercial agreements.

Executive Overview

Financial Results of Operations

GAAP Results of Operations. The following table sets forth our GAAP consolidated Net income (loss) for the three months ended March 31, 2022 compared to the same period in 2021. For additional information regarding the financial results for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021 see the discussions of Results of Operations below.


	Three Months Ended March 31,				Favorable (Unfavorable) Variance
	2022		2021
GAAP Net income (loss)	$	106	$	(793)	$	899

Adjusted EBITDA (non-GAAP). In analyzing and planning for our business, we supplement our use of GAAP net income with Adjusted EBITDA (non-GAAP) as a performance measure. Adjusted EBITDA (non-GAAP) reflects an additional way of viewing our business that, when viewed with our GAAP results and the accompanying reconciliation to GAAP net income included in the table below, may provide a more complete understanding of factors and trends affecting our business. Adjusted EBITDA (non-GAAP) should not be relied upon to the exclusion of GAAP financial measures and is, by definition, an incomplete understanding of our business, and must be considered in conjunction with GAAP measures. In addition, Adjusted EBITDA (non-GAAP) is neither a standardized financial measure, nor a presentation defined under GAAP and may not be comparable to other companies’ presentations or deemed more useful than the GAAP information provided elsewhere in this report.

The following table provides a reconciliation between Net income (loss) attributable to common shareholders as determined in accordance with GAAP and Adjusted EBITDA (non-GAAP) for the three months ended March 31, 2022 compared to the same period in 2021.

Three Months Ended March 31, 2022 Compared to Three Months Ended March 31, 2021. Net income attributable to common shareholders increased by $899 million primarily due to:

•The absence of impacts from the February 2021 extreme cold weather event;

•The absence of accelerated depreciation and amortization associated with our previous decision in the third quarter of 2020 to early retire Byron and Dresden nuclear facilities in 2021, a decision which was reversed on September 15, 2021;

•Higher realized energy prices; and

•Lower nuclear fuel costs due to the absence of accelerated amortization of nuclear fuel and lower prices.

The increases were partially offset by:

•Higher net realized and unrealized NDT losses;

•Higher net mark-to-market losses;

•Absence of a prior year gain on the sale of our solar business;

•Increased tax expense due to one-time items related to the separation;

•Decreased capacity revenues; and

•Unfavorable impacts from nuclear outages.

Operating revenues. The basis for our reportable segments is the integrated management of our electricity business that is located in different geographic regions, and largely representative of the footprints of ISO/RTO and/or NERC regions, which utilize multiple supply sources to provide electricity through various distribution

Nuclear Fleet Capacity Factor. The following table presents nuclear fleet operating data for our plants, which reflects ownership percentage of stations operated by us, excluding Salem, which is operated by PSEG. The nuclear fleet capacity factor presented in the table is defined as the ratio of the actual output of a plant over a period of time to its output if the plant had operated at its net monthly mean capacity for that time period. We consider capacity factor to be a useful measure to analyze the nuclear fleet performance between periods. We have included the analysis below as a complement to the financial information provided in accordance with GAAP. However, these measures are not a presentation defined under GAAP and may not be comparable to other companies’ presentations or be more useful than the GAAP information provided elsewhere in this report.

(b)Primarily a result of the February 2021 extreme cold weather event.

Depreciation and amortization expense decreased for the three months ended March 31, 2022 compared to the same period in 2021, primarily due to the accelerated depreciation and amortization associated with our previous decision to early retire the Byron and Dresden nuclear facilities. This decision was reversed on September 15, 2021 and depreciation for Byron and Dresden was adjusted beginning September 15, 2021 to reflect the extended useful life estimates. A portion of this accelerated depreciation and amortization is offset in Operating and maintenance expense.

Gain on sales of assets and businesses decreased for the three months ended March 31, 2022 compared to the same period in 2021, primarily due to a gain on sale of our solar business in 2021.

Interest expense, net decreased for the three months ended March 31, 2022 compared to the same period in 2021, primarily due to mark-to-market gains related to our CR and West Medway II interest rate swaps. See Note 17 — Debt and Credit Agreements of our 2021 Form 10K of the Combined Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information on the CR credit facility and interest rate swaps.

Other, net decreased for the three months ended March 31, 2022 compared to the same period in 2021, due to activity described in the table below:

(a)Unrealized gains, realized gains, and interest and dividend income on the NDT funds are associated with the Non-Regulatory Agreement Units.

(b)Contractual elimination of income tax expense is associated with the income taxes on the NDT funds of the Regulatory Agreement Units.

(d)Net unrealized gains and losses from equity investments that became publicly traded entities in the fourth quarter of 2020 and the first half of 2021.

Table of Contents

Effective income tax rates were (86.9)% and 18.9% for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The change in effective tax rate in 2022 is primarily due to the impacts of higher net realized and unrealized NDT losses on Income before income taxes. See Note 9 — Income Taxes of the Combined Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.

Net income attributable to noncontrolling interests primarily relates to CRP for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and includes CENG and CRP for the three months ended March 31, 2021. The decrease for the three months ended March 31, 2022, compared to the same period in 2021, is primarily due to our acquisition of EDF's interest in CENG on August 6, 2021. See Note 2 - Mergers, Acquisitions, and Dispositions of our 2021 Form 10-K for additional information.

Significant 2022 Transactions and Developments

Separation from Exelon

On February 21, 2021, Exelon’s Board of Directors approved a plan to separate its competitive generation and customer-facing energy businesses into a stand-alone publicly traded company ("the separation"). Exelon completed the separation on February 1, 2022. We incurred separation costs of $37 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022, which are primarily recorded in Operating and maintenance expense. Separation costs for the three months ended March 31, 2021 were not material. The separation costs are primarily comprised of system-related costs, third-party costs paid to advisors, consultants, lawyers, and other experts assisting in the separation. These costs have been excluded from Adjusted EBITDA (non-GAAP). See Note 1 — Basis of Presentation of the Combined Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.

Other Key Business Drivers

Power Markets

Russia and Ukraine Conflict

We are closely monitoring developments of the Russia and Ukraine conflict including United States sanctions against Russian energy exports, the potential for sanctions on Russian nuclear fuel supply, and enrichment activities, as well as yet undefined action by Russia to limit energy deliveries. Currently, none of our existing nuclear fuel contracts have been affected by the Russia and Ukraine conflict. Our nuclear fuel is obtained predominantly through long-term uranium supply and service contracts. We work with a diverse set of domestic and international suppliers years in advance to procure our nuclear fuel, and therefore, we have enough nuclear fuel to support all our refueling needs for multiple years regardless of sanctions. We are taking affirmative action by working with our diverse set of suppliers to ensure we can secure the nuclear fuel needed to continue to operate our nuclear fleet long-term. We are also working with Federal policymakers and other stakeholders to facilitate the expansion of the domestic nuclear fuel cycle within the United States to improve carbon-free energy security.

Hedging Strategy

We are exposed to commodity price risk associated with the unhedged portion of our electricity portfolio. We enter into non-derivative and derivative contracts, including options, swaps, and forward and futures contracts, all with credit-approved counterparties, to hedge this anticipated exposure. For merchant revenues not already hedged via comprehensive state programs, such as the CMC in Illinois, we utilize a three-year ratable sales plan to align our hedging strategy with our financial objectives. The prompt three-year merchant revenues are hedged on an approximate rolling 90%/60%/30% basis. We may also enter into transactions that are outside of this ratable hedging program. As of March 31, 2022, the percentage of expected generation hedged for the Mid-Atlantic, Midwest, New York, and ERCOT reportable segments is 97%-100% and 86%-89% for the remainder of 2022 and 2023, respectively. We have been and will continue to be proactive in using hedging strategies to mitigate commodity price risk.

We procure natural gas through long-term and short-term contracts and spot-market purchases. Nuclear fuel assemblies are obtained predominantly through long-term uranium concentrate supply contracts, contracted conversion services, contracted enrichment services, or a combination thereof, and contracted fuel fabrication services. The supply markets for uranium concentrates and certain nuclear fuel services are subject to price

Table of Contents

fluctuations and availability restrictions. Approximately 50% of our uranium concentrate requirements from 2022 through 2026 are supplied by three suppliers. In the event of non-performance by these or other suppliers, we believe that replacement uranium concentrate can be obtained, although at prices that may be unfavorable when compared to the prices under the current supply agreements. Geopolitical developments have the potential to impact delivery from multiple suppliers in the international uranium processing industry. Non-performance by these counterparties could have a material adverse impact on our consolidated financial statements.

See Note 11 — Derivative Financial Instruments of the Combined Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements and ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK for additional information.

Other Environmental Regulation

State Climate Change Legislation and Regulation. Eleven northeast and mid-Atlantic states (Connecticut, Delaware, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Rhode Island, Vermont, and Virginia) currently participate in the RGGI, which is in the process of strengthening its requirements. The program requires most fossil fuel-fired power plants in the region to hold allowances, purchased at auction, for each ton of CO2 emissions. Non-emitting resources do not have to purchase or hold these allowances. In October 2019, the Governor of Pennsylvania issued an Executive Order directing the PA DEP to begin a rulemaking process to allow Pennsylvania to join the RGGI, with the goal of reducing carbon emissions from the electricity sector. The Environmental Quality Board of the PA DEP approved that rule on July 13, 2021, and on April 23, 2022, the rule was published by the Pennsylvania Legislative Resource Bureau, which made the rule effective. Although outstanding legal challenges remain, the conclusion of the regulatory process enables Pennsylvania’s participation in RGGI beginning July 2022.

Mercury and Air Toxics Standards (MATS). In 2011, the EPA signed a final rule, known as MATS, to reduce emissions of hazardous air pollutants from coal- and oil-fired power plants. MATS requires coal-fired power plants to achieve high removal rates of mercury, acid gases, and other metals, and to make capital investments in pollution control equipment and incur higher operating expenses. This rule has been subject to various challenges since issuance, see PART I, ITEM 1. BUSINESS of our 2021 Form 10-K for additional information on the procedural history of this matter. On January 20, 2021, President Biden issued an Executive Order directing the EPA to reconsider its May 22, 2020, revised supplemental finding, and the EPA subsequently moved for the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit to place the cases challenging that finding in abeyance pending its reconsideration, which the court did on February 21, 2021. On February 9, 2022 EPA published a proposal to revoke the 2020 revised supplemental finding and reaffirm that it is "appropriate and necessary" to regulate hazardous air pollutant emissions from coal- and oil-fired power plants. Additionally, in February 2022, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit granted unopposed motions to substitute Constellation in place of Exelon in these cases. Comments on the proposed regulation were due April 11, 2022. If EPA promulgates a final rule revoking the 2020 revised supplemental finding determination, then the cases currently before the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit concerning MATS may be dismissed as moot or placed in abeyance pending the disposition of any petitions for review that may be filed challenging that final rule. We cannot reasonably predict the outcome of this matter.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Management makes a number of significant estimates, assumptions, and judgements in the preparation of our financial statements. At March 31, 2022, the following policy was added as a result of separation. See ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS — Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates in our 2021 Form 10-K for further information.

Retirement Benefits

Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Employee Benefits

We sponsor defined benefit pension plans and OPEB plans for most current employees. The measurement of the plan obligations and costs of providing benefits involves various factors, including the development of valuation assumptions and inputs and accounting policy elections. When developing the required assumptions, we consider historical information as well as future expectations. The measurement of projected benefit obligations and costs is affected by several assumptions including the discount rate, the long-term expected rate

Table of Contents

of return on plan assets, the anticipated rate of increase of health care costs, our contributions, the rate of compensation increases, and the long-term expected investment rate credited to employees of certain plans, among others. The assumptions are updated annually and upon any interim remeasurement of the plan obligations.

Pension and OPEB plan assets include equity securities, including U.S. and international securities, and fixed income securities, as well as certain alternative investment classes such as real estate, private equity, and hedge funds.

In determining the EROA, we consider historical economic indicators (including inflation and GDP growth) that impact asset returns, as well as expectation regarding future long-term capital market performance, weighted by our target asset class allocations. We calculate the amount of expected return on pension and OPEB plan assets by multiplying the EROA by the MRV of plan assets at the beginning of the year, taking into consideration anticipated contributions and benefit payments to be made during the year. In determining MRV, the authoritative guidance for pensions and postretirement benefits allows the use of either fair value or a calculated value that recognizes changes in fair value in a systematic and rational manner over not more than five years. For the majority of pension plan assets, we use a calculated value that adjusts for 20% of the difference between fair value and expected MRV of plan assets. Use of this calculated value approach enables less volatile expected asset returns to be recognized as a component of pension cost from year to year. For OPEB plan assets and certain pension plan assets, we use fair value to calculate the MRV.

Sensitivity to Changes in Key Assumptions. The following table illustrates the effects of changing certain of the actuarial assumptions reflected above on the remeasurement completed at separation as discussed in Note 10 — Retirement Benefits of the Combined Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, while holding all other assumptions constant:


	Actual Assumption
	Pension		OPEB		Assumption		Increase / (Decrease)
Actuarial Assumption							Pension		OPEB		Total
Change in 2022 cost:
Discount rate(a)	3.23	%	3.21	%	0.5	%	$	(22)	$	(1)	$	(23)
	3.23	%	3.21	%	(0.5)	%	28		7		35
EROA	7.00	%	6.50	%	0.5	%	(41)		(4)		(45)
	7.00	%	6.50	%	(0.5)	%	41		4		45
Change in benefit obligation:
Discount rate(a)	3.23	%	3.21	%	0.5	%	(536)		(99)		(635)
	3.23	%	3.21	%	(0.5)	%	620		115		735

__________

(a)In general, the discount rate will have a larger impact on the pension and OPEB cost and obligation as the rate moves closer to 0%. Therefore, the discount rate sensitivities above cannot necessarily be extrapolated for larger increases or decreases in the discount rate. Additionally, we utilize a liability-driven hedging investment strategy for our pension asset portfolio. The sensitivities shown above do not reflect the offsetting impact that changes in discount rates may have on pension asset returns.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

All results included throughout the liquidity and capital resources section are presented on a GAAP basis.

Our operating and capital expenditures requirements are provided by internally generated cash flows from operations, the sale of certain receivables, as well as funds from external sources in the capital markets and through bank borrowings. Our business is capital intensive and requires considerable capital resources. We annually evaluate our financing plan and credit line sizing, focusing on maintaining our investment grade ratings while meeting our cash needs to fund capital requirements, including construction expenditures, retire debt, pay dividends, fund pension and OPEB obligations, and invest in new and existing ventures. A broad spectrum of financing alternatives beyond the core financing options can be used to meet our needs and fund growth, including monetizing assets in the portfolio via project financing, asset sales, and the use of other financing structures (e.g., joint ventures, minority partners, etc.). Our access to external financing on reasonable terms depends on our credit ratings and current overall capital market business conditions. If these conditions deteriorate to the extent that we no longer have access to the capital markets at reasonable terms, we have access to various facilities with aggregate bank commitments of $5.7 billion. We utilize these facilities to support our commercial paper programs, provide for other short-term borrowings and to issue letters of credit. See the “Credit Matters” section below for additional information. We expect cash flows to be sufficient to meet operating expenses, financing costs, and capital expenditure requirements. See Note 12 — Debt and Credit Agreements of the Combined Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information on our debt and credit agreements.

Pursuant to the Separation Agreement between us and Exelon, we received a cash payment of $1.75 billion from Exelon on January 31, 2022. See Note 1 — Basis of Presentation of the Combined Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information on the separation.

NRC Minimum Funding Requirements

NRC regulations require that licensees of nuclear generating facilities demonstrate reasonable assurance that sufficient funds will be available in certain minimum amounts to decommission the facility. These NRC minimum funding levels are typically based upon the assumption that decommissioning activities will commence after the end of the current licensed life of each unit. If a unit fails the NRC minimum funding test, then the plant’s owners or parent companies would be required to take steps, such as providing financial guarantees through surety bonds, letters of credit, or parent company guarantees or making additional cash contributions to the NDT fund to ensure sufficient funds are available. See Note 8 — Nuclear Decommissioning of the Combined Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.

If a nuclear plant were to retire before the end of its licensed life there is a risk that it will no longer meet the NRC minimum funding requirements due to the earlier commencement of decommissioning activities and a shorter time period over which the NDT funds could appreciate in value. A shortfall could require that we address the shortfall by providing additional financial assurances, such as surety bonds, letters of credit, or parent company guarantees for our share of the funding assurance. However, the amount of any assurance will ultimately depend on the decommissioning approach, the associated level of costs, and the NDT fund investment performance going forward. No later than two years after shutting down a plant, we must submit a PSDAR to the NRC that includes the planned option for decommissioning the site.

Upon issuance of any required financial assurances, subject to satisfying various regulatory preconditions, each site would be able to utilize the respective NDT funds for radiological decommissioning costs, which represent the majority of the total expected decommissioning costs. However, under the regulations, the NRC must approve an exemption in order for us to utilize the NDT funds to pay for non-radiological decommissioning costs (i.e. spent fuel management and site restoration costs, if applicable). Any amounts not covered by an exemption would be borne by us without reimbursement.

As of March 31, 2022, we are not required to provide any additional financial assurance for TMI Unit 1 under the SAFSTOR scenario that is the planned decommissioning option, as described in the TMI Unit 1 PSDAR filed with

Table of Contents

the NRC on April 5, 2019. On October 16, 2019, the NRC granted our exemption request to use the TMI Unit 1 NDT funds for spent fuel management costs. An additional exemption request to allow the TMI Unit 1 NDT funds to be used for site restoration costs was submitted to the NRC on May 20, 2021 and is pending NRC review.

Cash Flows from Operating Activities

Our cash flows from operating activities primarily result from the sale of electric energy and energy-related products and services to customers. Our future cash flows from operating activities may be affected by future demand for, and market prices of, energy and our ability to continue to produce and supply power at competitive costs, as well as to obtain collections from customers and the sale of certain receivables.

See Note 3 — Regulatory Matters and Note 14 — Commitments and Contingencies of the Combined Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information on regulatory and legal proceedings and proposed legislation.

The following table provides a summary of the change in cash flows from operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021:


Increase (decrease) in cash flows from operating activities
Net income	$	880
Adjustments to reconcile net income to cash:
Non-cash operating activities	214
Option premiums (paid) received, net	(47)
Collateral posted, net	899
Income taxes	309
Pension and non-pension postretirement benefit contributions	1
Changes in working capital and other noncurrent assets and liabilities	695
Increase in cash flows from operating activities	$	2,951

Changes in our cash flows from operations were generally consistent with changes in results of operations, as adjusted by changes in working capital in the normal course of business, except as discussed below. In addition, significant operating cash flow impacts for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021 were as follows:

•See Note 18 — Supplemental Financial Information of the Combined Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements and the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for additional information on non-cash operating activities.

•Option premiums paid relate to options contracts that we purchase and sell as part of our established policies and procedures to manage risks associated with market fluctuations in commodity prices. See Note 11 — Derivative Financial Instruments of the Combined Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information on derivative contracts.

•Depending upon whether we are in a net mark-to-market liability or asset position, collateral may be required to be posted with or collected from our counterparties. In addition, the collateral posting and collection requirements differ depending on whether the transactions are on an exchange or in the over-the-counter markets. See Note 11 — Derivative Financial Instruments of the Combined Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information on collateral.

•See Note 9 —Income Taxes of the Combined Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements and the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for additional information on income taxes.

•Changes in working capital and other noncurrent assets and liabilities primarily reflect reduced DPP consideration related to the revolving accounts receivable financing arrangement entered into on April 8, 2020. There is a partial offset for this increase in Cash Flows from Investing activities due to cash proceeds received from the Purchasers during the first quarter of 2021. and a decrease in Accounts payable and accrued expenses resulting from the impact of certain penalties for natural gas delivery associated with the February 2021 extreme cold weather event and decreases in natural gas prices. See Note 6 — Accounts Receivable and Note 3 — Regulatory Matters of the Combined Notes

Table of Contents

to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information on the sales of customer accounts receivable and on the February 2021 extreme cold weather event, respectively.

Cash Flows from Investing Activities

The following table provides a summary of the change in cash flows from investing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021:


Decrease in cash flows from investing activities

Collection of DPP	(721)
Proceeds from sales of assets and businesses	(652)
Other investing activities	(2)
Decrease in cash flows from investing activities	$	(1,435)

Significant investing cash flow impacts for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021 were as follows:

•Variances in capital expenditures are primarily due to the timing of cash expenditures for capital projects. Refer to Liquidity and Capital Resources of our 2021 Form 10-K for additional information on projected capital expenditure spending, of which there have been no material changes to the projected amounts.

•See Note 6 — Accounts Receivable of the Combined Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information on the Collection of DPP.

•Proceeds from sales of assets and businesses decreased primarily due to the sale of a significant portion of our solar business. See Note 2 — Mergers, Acquisitions, and Dispositions of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information on the sale of our solar business.

Cash Flows from Financing Activities

The following table provides a summary of the change in cash flows from financing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021:


(Decrease) increase in cash flows from financing activities
Changes in short-term borrowings, net	$	(1,999)
Long-term debt, net	(1,280)
Changes in money pool with Exelon	285

Distributions to member	412
Contribution from Exelon	1,750
Other financing activities	(11)
Decrease in cash flows from financing activities	$	(843)

Significant financing cash flow impacts for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021 were as follows:

•Changes in short-term borrowings, net, is driven by repayments on and issuances of notes due in less than 365 days. Refer to Note 12 - Debt and Credit Agreements of the Combined Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information on short-term borrowings.

•Long-term debt, net, varies due to debt issuances and redemptions each year. Refer to Note 12 - Debt and Credit Agreements below for additional information.

•Changes in money pool with Exelon were driven by short-term borrowing needs prior to the separation on February 1, 2022. Exelon operated a money pool for its subsidiaries that provided an additional short-term borrowing option that was generally more favorable to the borrowing participants than the cost of external financing.

Credit Matters and Cash Requirements

We fund liquidity needs for capital expenditures, working capital, energy hedging and other financial commitments through cash flows from continuing operations, public debt offerings, commercial paper markets and large, diversified credit facilities. As of March 31, 2022, we have access to facilities with aggregate bank commitments of $5.7 billion. We had access to the commercial paper markets and had availability under our revolving credit facilities during the first quarter of 2022 to fund our short-term liquidity needs, when necessary. We used our available credit facilities to manage short-term liquidity needs as a result of the impacts of the February 2021 extreme cold weather event. We routinely review the sufficiency of our liquidity position, including appropriate sizing of credit facility commitments, by performing various stress test scenarios, such as commodity price movements, increases in margin-related transactions, changes in hedging levels, and the impacts of hypothetical credit downgrades. We closely monitor events in the financial markets and the financial institutions associated with the credit facilities, including monitoring credit ratings and outlooks, credit default swap levels, capital raising, and merger activity. See PART I, ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS of our 2021 Form 10-K for additional information regarding the effects of uncertainty in the capital and credit markets.

We believe our cash flow from operating activities, access to credit markets and our credit facilities provide sufficient liquidity to support the estimated future cash requirements discussed below.

If we lost our investment grade credit rating as of March 31, 2022, we would have been required to provide incremental collateral of up to approximately $2.8 billion to meet collateral obligations for derivatives, non-derivatives, NPNS, and applicable payables and receivables, net of the contractual right of offset under master netting agreements, which was well within the combined amount of $2.6 billion of available capacity and $1.7 billion of cash on hand as of March 31, 2022. See Note 11 — Derivative Financial Instruments and Note 12 — Debt and Credit Agreements of the Combined Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.

Pension and Other Postretirement Benefits

We consider various factors when making pension funding decisions, including actuarially determined minimum contribution requirements under ERISA, contributions required to avoid benefit restrictions and at-risk status as defined by the Pension Protection Act of 2006 (the Act), and management of the pension obligation. The Act requires the attainment of certain funding levels to avoid benefit restrictions (such as an inability to pay lump sums or to accrue benefits prospectively), and at-risk status (which triggers higher minimum contribution requirements and participant notification). The contributions below reflect a funding strategy to make levelized annual contributions with the objective of achieving 100% funded status on an ABO basis over time. This level funding strategy helps minimize volatility of future period required pension contributions. Based on this funding strategy and current market conditions, which are both subject to change, we made our annual qualified pension contribution totaling $192 million in February 2022. Unlike the qualified pension plans, our non-qualified pension plans are not funded, given that they are not subject to statutory minimum contribution requirements.

While OPEB plans are also not subject to statutory minimum contribution requirements, we do fund certain of our plans. For our funded OPEB plans, contributions generally equal accounting costs; however, we consider several factors in determining the level of contributions to our OPEB plans, including liabilities management and levels of benefit claims paid. The planned benefit payments to the non-qualified pension plans in 2022 are $9 million and the planned contributions to the OPEB plans, including benefit payments to unfunded plans is $27 million. The

Table of Contents

benefit payments to the non-qualified pension plans and OPEB plans for the three months ended March 31, 2022 were both $6 million.

To the extent interest rates decline significantly or the pension and OPEB plans earn less than the expected asset returns, annual pension contribution requirements in future years could increase. Conversely, to the extent interest rates increase significantly or the pension and OPEB plans earn greater than the expected asset returns, annual pension and OPEB contribution requirements in future years could decrease. Additionally, expected contributions could change if we change our pension or OPEB funding strategy. See Note 10 — Retirement Benefits of the Combined Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information on pension and OPEB contributions.

Cash Requirements for Other Financial Commitments

Refer to Liquidity and Capital Resources of our 2021 Form 10-K for additional information on our cash requirements for financial commitments.

Sales of Customer Accounts Receivable

We have an accounts receivable financing facility with a number of financial institutions and a commercial paper conduit to sell certain receivables, which expires on March 29, 2024 unless renewed by the mutual consent of the parties in accordance with its terms. See Note 6 — Accounts Receivable of the Combined Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.

Project Financing

Project financing is based upon a nonrecourse financial structure, in which project debt is paid back from the cash generated by a specific asset or portfolio of assets. Borrowings under these agreements are secured by the assets and equity of each respective project. Lenders do not have recourse against us in the event of a default. If a project financing entity does not maintain compliance with its specific debt covenants, there could be a requirement to accelerate repayment of the associated debt or other project-related borrowings earlier than the stated maturity dates. In these instances, if such repayment were not satisfied, or restructured, the lenders or security holders would generally have rights to foreclose against the project-specific assets and related collateral. The potential requirement to repay the debt or other borrowings earlier than otherwise anticipated could lead to impairments due to a higher likelihood of disposing of the respective project-specific assets significantly before the end of their useful lives. See Note 17 — Debt and Credit Agreements of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements of our 2021 Form 10-K for additional information on our project finance structures and nonrecourse debt.

Credit Facilities

We meet our short-term liquidity requirements primarily through the issuance of commercial paper. We may use our credit facilities for general corporate purposes, including meeting short-term funding requirements and the issuance of letters of credit. See Note 12 — Debt and Credit Agreements of the Combined Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information on our credit facilities.

Security Ratings

Our access to the capital markets, including the commercial paper market, and our financing costs in those markets, may depend on our securities ratings.

Our borrowings are not subject to default or prepayment as a result of a downgrade of our securities, although such a downgrade could increase fees and interest charges under our facility agreements.

As part of the normal course of business, we enter into contracts that contain express provisions or otherwise permit us and our counterparties to demand adequate assurance of future performance when there are reasonable grounds for doing so. In accordance with the contracts and applicable contracts law, if we are downgraded by a credit rating agency, it is possible that a counterparty would attempt to rely on such a downgrade as a basis for making a demand for adequate assurance of future performance, which could include the posting of additional collateral. See Note 11 — Derivative Financial Instruments of the Combined Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information on collateral provisions.

Table of Contents

At separation S&P and Moody's affirmed our senior unsecured ratings of BBB- and Baa2, respectively. Fitch also affirmed their final rating of BBB, prior to formally withdrawing coverage on January 5th. We will only be engaging S&P and Moody's for ratings coverage following separation.


ITEM 3.			QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

We are exposed to market risks associated with adverse changes in commodity prices, counterparty credit, interest rates, and equity prices. We manage these risks through risk management policies and objectives for risk assessment, control and valuation, counterparty credit approval, and the monitoring and reporting of risk exposures. After the separation on February 1, 2022, reporting on risk management issues is to the Executive Committee, the Risk Management Committees of our generation and customer-facing businesses, and the Audit and Risk Committee of the Board of Directors. The following discussion serves as an update to ITEM 7A - QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK of our 2021 Annual Report on Form 10-K incorporated herein by reference.

Commodity Price Risk

Commodity price risk is associated with price movements resulting from changes in supply and demand, fuel costs, market liquidity, weather conditions, governmental, regulatory and environmental policies, and other factors. To the extent the total amount of energy we generate and purchase differs from the amount of energy we have contracted to sell, we are exposed to market fluctuations in commodity prices. We seek to mitigate our commodity price risk through the sale and purchase of electricity, natural gas and oil, and other commodities.

Electricity available from our owned or contracted generation supply in excess of our obligations to customers is sold into the wholesale markets. To reduce commodity price risk caused by market fluctuations, we enter into non-derivative contracts as well as derivative contracts, including swaps, futures, forwards, and options, with approved counterparties to hedge anticipated exposures. We use derivative instruments as economic hedges to mitigate exposure to fluctuations in commodity prices. We expect the settlement of the majority of our economic hedges will occur during 2022 through 2024.

As of March 31, 2022, the percentage of expected generation hedged for the Mid-Atlantic, Midwest, New York, and ERCOT reportable segments is 97%-100% and 86%-89% for 2022 and 2023, respectively. Market price risk exposure is the risk of a change in the value of unhedged positions. The forecasted market price risk exposure for our entire economic hedge portfolio associated with a $2.50/MWh reduction in the annual average around-the-clock energy price based on March 31, 2022 market conditions and hedged position would be an increase in pre-tax net income of approximately $3 million for 2022 and a decrease in pre-tax net income of approximately $64 million for 2023. See Note 11 — Derivative Financial Instruments of the Combined Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.

Fuel Procurement

We procure natural gas through long-term and short-term contracts, and spot-market purchases. Nuclear fuel assemblies are obtained predominantly through long-term uranium concentrate supply contracts, contracted conversion services, contracted enrichment services, or a combination thereof, and contracted fuel fabrication services. The supply markets for uranium concentrates and certain nuclear fuel services are subject to price fluctuations and availability restrictions. Supply market conditions may make our procurement contracts subject to credit risk related to the potential non-performance of counterparties to deliver the contracted commodity or service at the contracted prices. Approximately 50% of our uranium concentrate requirements from 2022 through 2026 are supplied by three suppliers. In the event of non-performance by these or other suppliers, we believe that replacement uranium concentrates can be obtained, although at prices that may be unfavorable when compared to the prices under the current supply agreements. Geopolitical developments, including the Russia and Ukraine conflict and United States sanctions against Russia, have the potential to impact delivery from multiple suppliers in the international uranium processing industry. Non-performance by these counterparties could have a material adverse impact in our financial statements.

Credit Risk

We would be exposed to credit-related losses in the event of non-performance by counterparties that execute derivative instruments. The credit exposure of derivative contracts, before collateral, is represented by the fair value of contracts at the reporting date. See Note 11 — Derivative Financial Instruments of the Combined Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for a detailed discussion of credit risk.

The following tables provide information on our credit exposure for all derivative instruments, NPNS, and payables and receivables, net of collateral and instruments that are subject to master netting agreements, as of March 31, 2022. The tables further delineate that exposure by credit rating of the counterparties and provide guidance on the concentration of credit risk to individual counterparties and an indication of the duration of a company’s credit risk by credit rating of the counterparties. The amounts in the tables below exclude credit risk exposure from individual retail customers, uranium procurement contracts, and exposure through RTOs, ISOs, and commodity exchanges, which are discussed in ITEM 7A - QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK of our 2021 Annual Report on Form 10-K .

Credit-Risk-Related Contingent Features

As part of the normal course of business, we routinely enter into physical or financial contracts for the sale and purchase of electricity, natural gas, and other commodities. In accordance with the contracts and applicable law, if we are downgraded by a credit rating agency, especially if such downgrade is to a level below investment grade, it is possible that a counterparty would attempt to rely on such a downgrade as a basis for making a demand for adequate assurance of future performance. Depending on our net position with a counterparty, the demand could be for the posting of collateral. In the absence of expressly agreed-to provisions that specify the collateral that must be provided, collateral requested will be a function of the facts and circumstances of the situation at the time of the demand. See Note 11 — Derivative Financial Instruments of the Combined Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information regarding collateral requirements and Note 14 — Commitments and Contingencies of the Combined Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information regarding the letters of credit supporting the cash collateral.

We transact output through bilateral contracts. The bilateral contracts are subject to credit risk, which relates to the ability of counterparties to meet their contractual payment obligations. Any failure to collect these payments from counterparties could have a material impact on our financial statements. As market prices rise above or fall below contracted price levels, we are required to post collateral with purchasers; as market prices fall below contracted price levels, counterparties are required to post collateral with us. In addition, we entered into supply forward contracts with certain utilities with one-sided collateral postings only from us. To post collateral, we depend on access to bank credit facilities, which serve as liquidity sources to fund collateral requirements. See ITEM 2. Liquidity and Capital Resources — Credit Matters — Credit Facilities for additional information.

Interest Rate and Foreign Exchange Risk

We use a combination of fixed-rate and variable-rate debt to manage interest rate exposure. We may also utilize interest rate swaps to manage our interest rate exposure. A hypothetical 50 basis point increase in the interest rates associated with unhedged variable-rate debt (excluding Commercial Paper) and fixed-to-floating swaps would not result in a material decrease in our pre-tax income for the three months ended March 31, 2022. To manage foreign exchange rate exposure associated with international energy purchases in currencies other than U.S. dollars, we utilize foreign currency derivatives, which are typically designated as economic hedges. See Note 11 — Derivative Financial Instruments of the Combined Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.

Equity Price Risk

We maintain trust funds, as required by the NRC, to fund the costs of decommissioning our nuclear plants. Our NDT funds are reflected at fair value in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The mix of securities in the trust funds is designed to provide returns to be used to fund decommissioning and to compensate us for inflationary increases in decommissioning costs; however, the equity securities in the trust funds are exposed to price fluctuations in equity markets, and the value of fixed-rate, fixed-income securities are exposed to changes in interest rates. We actively monitor the investment performance of the trust funds and periodically review asset allocations in accordance with our NDT fund investment policy. A hypothetical 25 basis points increase in interest rates and 10% decrease in equity prices would result in a $818 million reduction in the fair value of the trust assets as of March 31, 2022. This calculation holds all other variables constant and assumes only the discussed changes in interest rates and equity prices.

ITEM 4.			CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

During the first quarter of 2022, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures related to the recording, processing, summarizing, and reporting of information in periodic reports that we file with the SEC. These disclosure controls and procedures have been designed to ensure that (a) information, including information related to our consolidated subsidiaries, is accumulated and made known to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, by other employees as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure, and (b) this information is recorded, processed, summarized, evaluated, and reported, as applicable, within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms. Due to the inherent limitations of control systems, not all misstatements may be detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls could be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons or by collusion of two or more people.

Accordingly, as of March 31, 2022, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective to accomplish their objectives. We continually strive to improve our disclosure controls and procedures to enhance the quality of our financial reporting and to maintain dynamic systems that change as conditions warrant. There were no changes in internal control over financial reporting during the first quarter of 2022 that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, any of our internal controls over financial reporting.
