Note 1 — Significant Accounting Policies
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.
COVID-19 (All Registrants)
The Registrants have taken steps to mitigate the potential risks posed by the global outbreak (pandemic) of the 2019 novel coronavirus (COVID-19). The Registrants provide a critical service to their customers and have taken measures to keep employees who operate the business safe and minimize unnecessary risk of exposure to the virus, including extra precautions for employees who work in the field. The Registrants have implemented work from home policies where appropriate and imposed travel limitations on employees. In addition, the Registrants have updated their existing business continuity plans.

Management makes estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements and accompanying notes, and the amounts of revenues and expenses reported during the periods covered by those financial statements and accompanying notes. Management assessed certain accounting matters that require consideration of forecasted financial information, including, but not limited to, our allowance for credit losses and the carrying value of our goodwill and other long-lived assets, in context with the information reasonably available to us and the unknown future impacts of COVID-19 as of September 30, 2020 and through the date of this report. The Registrants' future assessment of our current expectations of the magnitude and duration of COVID-19, as well as other factors, could result in material impacts to their consolidated financial statements in future reporting periods.
New Accounting Standards (All Registrants)
New Accounting Standards Adopted as of January 1, 2020: The following new authoritative accounting guidance issued by the FASB was adopted as of January 1, 2020 and was reflected by the Registrants in their consolidated financial statements beginning in the first quarter of 2020.
Impairment of Financial Instruments (Issued June 2016). Provides for a new Current Expected Credit Loss (CECL) impairment model for specified financial instruments including loans, trade receivables, debt securities classified as held-to-maturity investments, and net investments in leases recognized by a lessor. Under the new guidance, on initial recognition and at each reporting period, an entity is required to recognize an allowance that reflects its current estimate of credit losses expected to be incurred over the life of the financial instrument based on historical experience, current conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts. The standard was effective January 1, 2020 and requires a modified retrospective transition approach through a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings as of the beginning of the period of adoption. This standard was primarily applicable to Generation's and the Utility Registrants' Customer accounts receivables balances. This guidance did not have a significant impact on the Registrants’ consolidated financial statements.
Goodwill Impairment (Issued January 2017). Simplifies the accounting for goodwill impairment by removing Step 2 of the current test, which requires calculation of a hypothetical purchase price allocation. Under the revised guidance, goodwill impairment will be measured as the amount by which a reporting unit’s carrying value exceeds its fair value, not to exceed the carrying amount of goodwill (currently Step 1 of the two-step impairment test). Entities will continue to have the option to perform a qualitative assessment to determine if a quantitative impairment test is necessary. The standard was effective January 1, 2020 and must be applied on a prospective basis. Exelon, Generation, ComEd, PHI, and DPL will apply the new guidance for their goodwill impairment assessments in 2020 and do not expect the updated guidance to have a material impact to their financial statements.
Allowance for Credit Losses on Accounts Receivables (All Registrants)

The allowance for credit losses reflects the Registrants’ best estimates of losses on the customers' accounts receivable balances based on historical experience, current information, and reasonable and supportable forecasts.

(Dollars in millions, except per share data, unless otherwise noted)

Note 1 — Significant Accounting Policies
The allowance for credit losses for Generation’s retail customers is based on accounts receivable aging historical experience coupled with specific identification through a credit monitoring process, which considers current conditions and forward-looking information such as industry trends, macroeconomic factors, changes in the regulatory environment, external credit ratings, publicly available news, payment status, payment history, and the exercise of collateral calls. The allowance for credit losses for Generation wholesale customers is developed using a credit monitoring process, similar to that used for retail customers. When a wholesale customer’s risk characteristics are no longer aligned with the pooled population, Generation uses specific identification to develop an allowance for credit losses. Adjustments to the allowance for credit losses are recorded in Operating and maintenance expense on Generation’s Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income.

The allowance for credit losses for the Utility Registrants’ customers is developed by applying loss rates for each Utility Registrant, based on historical loss experience, current conditions, and forward-looking risk factors, to the outstanding receivable balance by customer risk segment. Utility Registrants' customer accounts are written off consistent with approved regulatory requirements. Adjustments to the allowance for credit losses are primarily recorded to Operating and maintenance expense on the Utility Registrants' Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income and Regulatory assets on ComEd, BGE, Pepco, DPL, and ACE’s Consolidated Balance Sheets. See Note 3 - Regulatory Matters of the 2019 Form 10-K for additional information regarding the regulatory recovery of credit losses on customer accounts receivable at ComEd, BGE, Pepco, DPL, and ACE.

The Registrants have certain non-customer receivables in Other deferred debits and other assets which primarily are with governmental agencies and other high-quality counterparties with no history of default.  As such, the allowance for credit losses related to these receivables is not material.  The Registrants monitor these balances and will record an allowance if there are indicators of a decline in credit quality.

Note 2 — Regulatory Matters
New Jersey Regulatory Matters
Advanced Metering Infrastructure Filing (Exelon, PHI, and ACE). On August 26, 2020, ACE filed an application with the NJBPU as was required seeking approval to deploy a smart energy network in alignment with New Jersey’s Energy Master Plan and Clean Energy Act. The proposal consists of estimated costs totaling $220 million, with deployment taking place over a 3-year implementation period from approximately 2021 to 2024 that involves the installation of an integrated system of smart meters for all customers accompanied by the requisite communications facilities and data management systems. ACE is seeking authority to recover these estimated investments through a combination of the ACE Infrastructure Investment Program rider mechanism and future distribution base rates. ACE currently expects a decision in this matter in the third quarter of 2021 but cannot predict if the NJBPU will approve the application as filed.
Other Federal Regulatory Matters
Transmission-Related Income Tax Regulatory Assets (Exelon, ComEd, BGE, PHI, Pepco, DPL, and ACE). On December 13, 2016 (and as amended on March 13, 2017), BGE filed with FERC to begin recovering certain existing and future transmission-related income tax regulatory assets through its transmission formula rate. BGE’s existing regulatory assets included (1) amounts that, if BGE’s transmission formula rate provided for recovery, would have been previously amortized and (2) amounts that would be amortized and recovered prospectively. On November 16, 2017, FERC issued an order rejecting BGE’s proposed revisions to its transmission formula rate to recover these transmission-related income tax regulatory assets. In the fourth quarter of 2017, ComEd, BGE, Pepco, DPL, and ACE fully impaired their associated transmission-related income tax regulatory asset for the portion of the income tax regulatory asset that would have been previously amortized.
On February 23, 2018 (as amended on July 9, 2018), ComEd, Pepco, DPL, and ACE each filed with FERC to revise their transmission formula rate mechanisms to permit recovery of transmission-related income tax regulatory assets, including those amounts that would have been previously amortized and recovered through rates had the transmission formula rate provided for such recovery.
On September 7, 2018, FERC issued orders rejecting 1) BGE's rehearing request of FERC's November 16, 2017 order; and 2) the February 23, 2018 (as amended on July 9, 2018) filing by ComEd, Pepco, DPL, and ACE for similar recovery.
On November 2, 2018, BGE filed an appeal of FERC’s September 7, 2018 order to the Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit. On March 27, 2020, the Court of Appeals denied BGE’s November 2, 2018 appeal.
On October 1, 2018, ComEd, BGE, Pepco, DPL, and ACE submitted filings to recover only ongoing non-TCJA amortization amounts and credit TCJA transmission-related income tax regulatory liabilities to customers for the prospective period starting on October 1, 2018. On April 26, 2019, FERC issued an order accepting ComEd’s, BGE’s, Pepco’s, DPL’s, and ACE’s October 1, 2018 filings, effective October 1, 2018, subject to refund and established hearing and settlement judge procedures. On April 24, 2020, ComEd, BGE, Pepco, DPL, ACE, and other parties filed a settlement agreement with FERC, which FERC approved on September 24, 2020. The settlement agreement provides for the recovery of ongoing transmission-related income tax regulatory assets and establishes the amount and amortization period for excess deferred income taxes resulting from TCJA. The settlement resulted in a reduction to Operating revenues and an offsetting reduction to Income tax expense in the second quarter of 2020.
Regulatory Assets and Liabilities
The Utility Registrants' regulatory assets and liabilities have not changed materially since December 31, 2019, unless noted below. See Note 3 — Regulatory Matters of the Exelon 2019 Form 10-K for additional information on the specific regulatory assets and liabilities.
ComEd. Regulatory assets increased $255 million primarily due to an increase of $145 million in the Energy Efficiency Costs regulatory asset, $58 million in the Electric Distribution Formula Rate Significant One-time Events regulatory asset, $47 million in the ARO regulatory asset, and $18 million in the COVID-19 regulatory asset recorded in 2020, partially offset by a decrease of $37 million in the Electric Distribution Formula Rate Annual Reconciliations regulatory asset. Refer to COVID-19 disclosure below for additional information.

Note 2 — Regulatory Matters
PECO. Regulatory assets increased $135 million primarily due to an increase of $119 million in the Deferred Income Taxes regulatory asset and $20 million in new COVID-19 regulatory asset recorded in the third quarter of 2020. Refer to COVID-19 disclosure below for additional information.
BGE. Regulatory liabilities decreased $68 million primarily due to a decrease of $73 million in the Deferred Income Taxes regulatory liability.
Pepco. Regulatory liabilities decreased $58 million primarily due to a decrease of $99 million in the Deferred Income Taxes regulatory liability, partially offset by a $24 million increase in the Transmission FERC Formula Rate regulatory liability, and $24 million in the Electric Energy and Natural Gas Costs regulatory liability.
DPL. Regulatory liabilities decreased $49 million primarily due to a decrease of $54 million in the Deferred Income Taxes regulatory liability, $4 million in the Removal Costs regulatory liability, and $3 million in the Electric Energy and Natural Gas Costs regulatory liability, partially offset by a $16 million increase in the Transmission FERC Formula Rate regulatory liability.
ACE. Regulatory assets increased $58 million primarily due to an increase of $29 million in the Deferred Storm Costs regulatory asset, $19 million in the Uncollectible Deferral regulatory asset, and $17 million in the Electric Energy Costs regulatory asset, partially offset by a decrease of $9 million in the Securitized Stranded Costs regulatory asset. Regulatory liabilities decreased $55 million primarily due to a decrease of $80 million in the Deferred Income Taxes regulatory liability, partially offset by a $13 million increase in Transmission FERC Formula Rate regulatory liability, and $9 million in Stranded Costs regulatory liability.
COVID-19 (Exelon and the Utility Registrants). Starting in March of 2020, the Utility Registrants temporarily suspended customer disconnections for non-payment and temporarily ceased new late payment fees for all customers and restored service to customers upon request who were disconnected in the last twelve months. The duration and extent of these measures varies by jurisdiction. While these measures are no longer in place for some jurisdictions, they are expected to continue through the first quarter of 2021 in other jurisdictions. Typically, the Utility Registrants recover credit loss expense through rate required programs or distribution base rate cases. ComEd and ACE have existing mechanisms for recovery of credit loss expense. For those jurisdictions without an existing rate required program to recover credit loss expense, the Utility Registrants are pursuing strategies to recover incremental costs being incurred as a result of COVID-19:
In the period of April to July of 2020, the MDPSC, the DCPSC, the DPSC, and the NJBPU issued orders authorizing the creation of regulatory assets to track incremental COVID-19 related costs.
In May of 2020, the PAPUC issued a Secretarial Letter authorizing the creation of regulatory assets to track incremental credit loss expense related to COVID-19.
The Utility Registrants have also incurred direct costs related to COVID-19 consisting primarily of costs to acquire personal protective equipment, costs for cleaning supplies and services, and costs to hire healthcare professionals to monitor the health of their employees.
The Utility Registrants have recorded regulatory assets for the impacts of COVID-19 reflecting primarily incremental credit losses and direct costs, partially offset by a decrease in travel costs at BGE and PHI. The Utility Registrants expect to seek recovery in upcoming distribution base rate cases. Exelon and the Utility Registrants recorded the following regulatory assets related to COVID-19:

Generation Regulatory Matters (Exelon and Generation)
New Jersey Regulatory Matters
New Jersey Clean Energy Legislation. On May 23, 2018, New Jersey enacted legislation that established a ZEC program that provides compensation for nuclear plants that demonstrate to the NJBPU that they meet certain requirements, including that they make a significant contribution to air quality in the state and that their revenues are insufficient to cover their costs and risks. Under the legislation, the NJBPU will issue ZECs to qualifying nuclear power plants and the electric distribution utilities in New Jersey, including ACE, will be required to purchase those ZECs. On April 18, 2019, the NJBPU approved the award of ZECs to Salem 1 and Salem 2. Upon approval, Generation began recognizing revenue for the sale of New Jersey ZECs in the month they are generated and has recognized $56 million and $31 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. On May 15, 2019, New Jersey Rate Counsel appealed the NJBPU's decision to the New Jersey Superior Court. Briefing has been completed and oral argument is scheduled for December 9, 2020. Exelon and Generation cannot predict the outcome of the appeal. See Note 6 — Early Plant Retirements for additional information related to Salem.
New York Regulatory Matters
New York Clean Energy Standard. On August 1, 2016, the NYPSC issued an order establishing the New York CES, a component of which is a Tier 3 ZEC program targeted at preserving the environmental attributes of zero-emissions nuclear-powered generating facilities that meet the criteria demonstrating public necessity as determined by the NYPSC to be Generation's FitzPatrick, Ginna, and Nine Mile Point nuclear facilities.
On November 30, 2016 (as amended on January 13, 2017), a group of parties filed a Petition in New York State court seeking to invalidate the ZEC program, which argued that the NYPSC did not have authority to establish the program, that it violated state environmental law and that it violated certain technical provisions of the State Administrative Procedures Act when adopting the ZEC program. On January 22, 2018, the court dismissed the environmental claims and the majority of the plaintiffs from the case but denied the motions to dismiss with respect to the remaining five plaintiffs and claims, without commenting on the merits of the case. On October 8, 2019, the court dismissed all remaining claims. The petitioners filed a notice of appeal on November 4, 2019 and originally had until May 4, 2020 to file their brief. Due to COVID-19 related restrictions, the court extended the deadline to July 29, 2020. Petitioners did not file a brief by the deadline, so the case is deemed dismissed. Petitioners are permitted up to one year from July 29, 2020 to file a motion to vacate the dismissal if they can show good cause for the delay.
See Note 6 — Early Plant Retirements for additional information related to Ginna and Nine Mile Point.
New England Regulatory Matters
Mystic Units 8 & 9 and Everett Marine Terminal Cost of Service Agreement (Exelon and Generation). On March 29, 2018, Generation notified grid operator ISO-NE of its plans to early retire Mystic Units 8 and 9 absent regulatory reforms on June 1, 2022. On May 16, 2018, Generation made a filing with FERC to establish cost-of-service compensation and terms and conditions of service for Mystic Units 8 & 9 for the period between June 1, 2022 - May 31, 2024. On December 20, 2018, FERC issued an order accepting the cost of service compensation, reflecting a number of adjustments to the annual fixed revenue requirement and allowing for recovery of a substantial portion of the costs associated with the adjacent Everett Marine Terminal acquired by

Generation in October 2018. Those adjustments were reflected in a compliance filing made on March 1, 2019. In the December 20, 2018 order, FERC also directed a paper hearing on ROE using a new methodology. On January 22, 2019, Exelon and several other parties filed requests for rehearing of certain findings in the order.
On July 17, 2020, FERC issued three orders, which together affirmed the recovery of key elements of Mystic's cost of service compensation, including recovery of costs associated with the operation of the Everett Marine Terminal. FERC directed a downward adjustment to the rate base for Mystic Units 8 and 9, the effect of which will be partially offset by elimination of a crediting mechanism for third party gas sales during the term of the cost of service agreement. A compliance filing was submitted on September 15, 2020. Several parties filed protests to the compliance filing on the issue of how gross plant in-service was calculated, and Generation filed an answer to the protests on October 21, 2020. On July 28, 2020, FERC ordered additional briefings in the ROE proceeding.
On August 25, 2020, a group of New England generators filed a complaint against Generation seeking to extend the scope of the claw back provision in the cost-of-service agreement, whereby Generation would refund certain amounts recovered during the term of the cost of service if it returns to market afterwards. On September 14, 2020, Generation filed an answer to the complaint arguing that the complaint is procedurally improper and a collateral attack on existing FERC orders and pointing out that the ISO-NE tariff contains protections against the New England generators' concerns that they failed to mention. Generation cannot predict the outcome of this proceeding.
On June 10, 2020, Generation filed a complaint with FERC against ISO-NE on the grounds that ISO-NE failed to follow its tariff with respect to its evaluation of Mystic for transmission security for the 2024 to 2025 Capacity Commitment Period (FCA 15) and that the modifications that ISO-NE made to its unfiled planning procedures to avoid retaining Mystic should have been filed with FERC for approval. On July 27, 2020, ISO-NE issued a memo to NEPOOL announcing its determination pursuant to its unfiled planning procedures that Mystic Units 8 and 9 are not needed for FCA 15 for transmission security. It had previously determined Mystic Units 8 and 9 are not needed for fuel security. On August 17, 2020, FERC issued an order denying the complaint. On September 16, 2020, Generation filed a request for rehearing with FERC. The timing and the outcome of this proceeding is uncertain.
See Note 6 — Early Plant Retirements and Note 8 — Asset Impairments for additional information on the impacts of Generation’s August 2020 decision to retire Mystic Units 8 & 9 upon expiration of the cost of service agreement.
Federal Regulatory Matters
PJM and NYISO MOPR Proceedings. PJM and NYISO capacity markets include a MOPR. If a resource is subjected to a MOPR, its offer is adjusted to effectively remove the revenues it receives through a state government-provided financial support program - resulting in a higher offer that may not clear the capacity market. Prior to December 19, 2019, the MOPR in PJM applied only to certain new gas-fired resources. Currently, the MOPR in NYISO applies only to certain resources in downstate New York.
For Generation’s facilities in PJM and NYISO that are currently receiving ZEC compensation, an expanded MOPR would require exclusion of ZEC compensation when bidding into future capacity auctions, resulting in an increased risk of these facilities not receiving capacity revenues in future auctions.
On December 19, 2019, FERC required PJM to broadly apply the MOPR to all new and existing resources including nuclear, renewables, demand response, energy efficiency, storage, and all resources owned by vertically-integrated utilities. This greatly expands the breadth and scope of PJM’s MOPR, which is effective as of PJM’s next capacity auction. While FERC included some limited exemptions, no exemptions were available to state-supported nuclear resources.
FERC provided no new mechanism for accommodating state-supported resources other than the existing FRR mechanism (under which an entire utility zone would be removed from PJM’s capacity auction along with sufficient resources to support the load in such zone). In response to FERC’s order, PJM submitted a compliance filing on March 18, 2020 wherein PJM proposed tariff language interpreting and implementing FERC's directives and proposed a schedule for resuming capacity auctions that is contingent on the timing of FERC's action on the compliance filing.

Note 2 — Regulatory Matters
On April 16, 2020, FERC issued an order largely denying most requests for rehearing of FERC's December 2019 order but granting a few clarifications that required an additional PJM compliance filing which PJM submitted on June 1, 2020.
On October 15, 2020, FERC issued an order denying requests for rehearing of its April 16, 2020 order and accepted PJM’s two compliance filings, subject to a further compliance filing to revise minor aspects of the proposed MOPR methodology. As part of that order, FERC also accepted PJM’s proposal to condense the schedule of activities leading up to the next capacity auction but did not specify when that schedule would commence given that a key element of the MOPR level computation remains pending before FERC in another proceeding.
FERC issued an order on May 21, 2020 involving reforms to PJM’s day-ahead and real-time reserves markets that need to be reflected in the calculation of MOPR levels. In approving reforms to PJM’s reserves markets, FERC also directed PJM to develop a new methodology for estimating revenues that resources will receive for sales of energy and related services (referred to as the Energy and Ancillary Services Offset) and to use that new methodology in calculating a number of parameters and assumptions used in the capacity market, including MOPR levels. PJM submitted all elements of its new Energy and Ancillary Services Offset revenue projection methodology on August 5, 2020. On review of this compliance filing, FERC is expected to address how these additional reforms will impact MOPR levels, the timeline for implementing the new revenue projection methodology, and the timing for commencing the capacity auction schedule.
Unless Illinois and New Jersey can implement an FRR program in their PJM zones, the MOPR will apply in the next capacity auction to Generation's owned or jointly owned nuclear plants in those states receiving a benefit under the Illinois ZES or the New Jersey ZEC program, as applicable, increasing the risk that those units may not clear the capacity market.
Exelon is currently working with PJM and other stakeholders to pursue the FRR option as an alternative to the PJM capacity auction. If Illinois implements the FRR option, Generation’s Illinois nuclear plants could be removed from PJM’s capacity auction and instead supply capacity and be compensated under the FRR program, which has the potential to mitigate the current economic distress being experienced by Generation's nuclear plants in Illinois, as discussed in Note 6 - Early Plant Retirements. Implementing the FRR program in Illinois will require both legislative and regulatory changes. Whether legislation is needed in New Jersey would depend on how the state chooses to structure an FRR program. Exelon cannot predict whether or when such legislative and regulatory changes can be implemented.
On February 20, 2020, FERC issued an order rejecting requests to expand NYISO’s version of the MOPR (referred to as buyer-side mitigation rules) beyond its current limited applicability to certain resources in downstate. However, on October 14, 2020, two natural gas-fired generators in New York filed a complaint at FERC seeking to expand the MOPR in NYISO to apply to all resources, new and existing, across the entire NYISO market. Exelon plans to strenuously oppose expansion of FERC’s MOPR policies in the NYISO market. While it is too early in the proceeding to predict its outcome, if FERC follows its MOPR precedent in PJM and applies the MOPR in NYISO broadly as requested in the complaint, Generation’s facilities in NYISO that are receiving ZEC compensation may be at increased risk of not clearing the capacity auction.
If Generation’s state-supported nuclear plants in PJM or NYISO are subjected to the MOPR or equivalent without compensation under an FRR or similar program, it could have a material adverse impact on Exelon's and Generation's financial statements, which Exelon and Generation cannot reasonably estimate at this time.
Operating License Renewals
Conowingo Hydroelectric Project. On August 29, 2012, Generation submitted a hydroelectric license application to FERC for a new license for the Conowingo Hydroelectric Project (Conowingo). In connection with Generation’s efforts to obtain a water quality certification pursuant to Section 401 of the Clean Water Act (401 Certification) from MDE for Conowingo, Generation has been working with MDE and other stakeholders to resolve water quality licensing issues, including: (1) water quality, (2) fish habitat, and (3) sediment.

Note 2 — Regulatory Matters
On October 29, 2019, Generation and MDE filed with FERC a Joint Offer of Settlement (Offer of Settlement) that would resolve all outstanding issues relating to the 401 Certification. Pursuant to the Offer of Settlement, the parties submitted Proposed License Articles to FERC to be incorporated by FERC into the new license in accordance with FERC’s discretionary authority under the Federal Power Act. Among the Proposed License Articles are modifications to river flows to improve aquatic habitat, eel passage improvements, and initiatives to support rare, threatened and endangered wildlife. If FERC approves the Offer of Settlement and incorporates the Proposed License Articles into the new license without modification, then MDE would waive its rights to issue a 401 Certification and Generation would agree, pursuant to a separate agreement with MDE (MDE Settlement), to implement additional environmental protection, mitigation, and enhancement measures over the anticipated 50-year term of the new license. These measures address mussel restoration and other ecological and water quality matters, among other commitments. Exelon’s commitments under the various provisions of the Offer of Settlement and MDE Settlement are not effective unless and until FERC approves the Offer of Settlement and issues the new license with the Proposed License Articles. Generation cannot currently predict when FERC will issue the new license.
Peach Bottom Units 2 and 3. On July 10, 2018, Generation submitted a second 20-year license renewal application with the NRC for Peach Bottom Units 2 and 3, which was approved on March 6, 2020. Peach Bottom Units 2 and 3 are now licensed to operate through 2053 and 2054, respectively.

3. Revenue from Contracts with Customers (All Registrants)
The Registrants recognize revenue from contracts with customers to depict the transfer of goods or services to customers at an amount that the entities expect to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services. Generation’s primary sources of revenue include competitive sales of power, natural gas, and other energy-related products and services. The Utility Registrants’ primary sources of revenue include regulated electric and gas tariff sales, distribution, and transmission services.
See Note 4 — Revenue from Contracts with Customers of the Exelon 2019 Form 10-K for additional information regarding the primary sources of revenue for the Registrants.
Contract Balances (All Registrants)
Contract Assets
Generation records contract assets for the revenue recognized on the construction and installation of energy efficiency assets and new power generating facilities before Generation has 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. Generation records contract assets and contract receivables within Other current assets and Customer accounts receivable, net, respectively, within Exelon’s and Generation’s Consolidated Balance Sheets.
The following table provides a rollforward of the contract assets reflected in Exelon's and Generation's Consolidated Balance Sheets for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019. The Utility Registrants do not have any contract assets.

Contract Liabilities
The Registrants record contract liabilities when consideration is received or due prior to the satisfaction of the performance obligations. The Registrants record contract liabilities within Other current liabilities and Other noncurrent liabilities within the Registrants' Consolidated Balance Sheets.
For Generation, these contract liabilities primarily relate to upfront consideration received or due for equipment service plans, solar panel leases, and the Illinois ZEC program that introduces a cap on the total consideration to be received by Generation.
On July 1, 2020, Pepco, DPL, and ACE each entered into a collaborative arrangement with an unrelated owner and manager of communication infrastructure (the Buyer). Under this arrangement, Pepco, DPL, and ACE sold a 60% undivided interest in their respective portfolios of transmission tower attachment agreements with telecommunications companies to the Buyer, in addition to transitioning management of the day-to-day operations of the jointly-owned agreements to the Buyer for 35 years, while retaining the safe and reliable operation of its utility assets. In return, Pepco, DPL, and ACE will provide the Buyer limited access on the portion of the towers where the equipment resides for the purposes of managing the agreements for the benefit of Pepco, DPL, ACE, and the Buyer. In addition, for an initial period of three years and two, two-year extensions that are subject to certain conditions, the Buyer has the exclusive right to enter into new agreements with telecommunications companies and to receive a 30% undivided interest in those new agreements. PHI, Pepco, DPL, and ACE received cash and recorded contract liabilities as of July 1, 2020 as shown in the table below. The revenue attributable to this arrangement will be recognized as operating revenue over the 35 years under the collaborative arrangement.
The following table provides a rollforward of the contract liabilities reflected in Exelon's, Generation's, PHI's, Pepco's, DPL's, and ACE'S Consolidated Balance Sheets for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019. As of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, ComEd's, PECO's, and BGE's contract liabilities were immaterial.

Transaction Price Allocated to Remaining Performance Obligations (All Registrants)
The following table shows the amounts of future revenues expected to be recorded in each year for performance obligations that are unsatisfied or partially unsatisfied as of September 30, 2020. This disclosure only includes contracts for which the total consideration is fixed and determinable at contract inception. The average contract term varies by customer type and commodity but ranges from one month to several years.
This disclosure excludes Generation's power and gas sales contracts as they contain variable volumes and/or variable pricing. This disclosure also excludes the Utility Registrants' gas and electric tariff sales contracts and transmission revenue contracts as they generally have an original expected duration of one year or less and, therefore, do not contain any future, unsatisfied performance obligations to be included in this disclosure.

Revenue Disaggregation (All Registrants)
The Registrants disaggregate 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 4 — Segment Information for the presentation of the Registrant's revenue disaggregation.

4. Segment Information (All Registrants)
Operating segments for each of the Registrants are determined based on information used by the CODM in deciding how to evaluate performance and allocate resources at each of the Registrants.
Exelon has eleven reportable segments, which include Generation's five reportable segments consisting of the Mid-Atlantic, Midwest, New York, ERCOT, and all other power regions referred to collectively as “Other Power Regions” and ComEd, PECO, BGE, and PHI's three reportable segments consisting of Pepco, DPL, and ACE. ComEd, PECO, BGE, Pepco, DPL, and ACE each represent a single reportable segment, and as such, no separate segment information is provided for these Registrants. Exelon, ComEd, PECO, BGE, Pepco, DPL, and ACE's CODMs evaluate the performance of and allocate resources to ComEd, PECO, BGE, Pepco, DPL, and ACE based on net income.
The basis for Generation's reportable segments is the integrated management of its 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). Generation's hedging strategies and risk metrics are also aligned to these same geographic regions. Descriptions of each of Generation’s 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.
Other Power Regions:
New England represents the 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 California ISO.
Canada represents operations across the entire country of Canada and includes AESO, OIESO, and the Canadian portion of MISO.

Note 4 — Segment Information
The CODMs for Exelon and Generation evaluate the performance of Generation’s electric business activities and allocate resources based on RNF. Generation believes that RNF is a useful measurement of operational performance. RNF 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. Generation’s operating revenues include all sales to third parties and affiliated sales to the Utility Registrants. 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 Generation’s owned generation and fuel costs associated with tolling agreements. The results of Generation's 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 Generation's overall operating revenues or results of operations. Further, Generation’s unrealized mark-to-market gains and losses on economic hedging activities and its 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. Exelon and Generation do not use a measure of total assets in making decisions regarding allocating resources to or assessing the performance of these reportable segments.
An analysis and reconciliation of the Registrants’ reportable segment information to the respective information in the consolidated financial statements for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019 is as follows:

Sales of Customer Accounts Receivable (Exelon and Generation)
On April 8, 2020, NER, a bankruptcy remote, special purpose entity, which is wholly-owned by Generation, 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, whose maximum capacity is $750 million, is scheduled to expire on April 7, 2021, 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 Exelon’s and Generation’s 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 on Exelon’s and Generation’s Consolidated Balance Sheet.
On April 8, 2020, Generation derecognized and transferred approximately $1.2 billion of receivables at fair value to the Purchasers in exchange for approximately $500 million in cash purchase price and $650 million of DPP.

Generation’s 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. Generation continues to service the receivables sold in exchange for a servicing fee. Generation did not record a servicing asset or liability as the servicing fees were immaterial.
Generation reflected 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 of the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.
See Note 13 — Fair Value of Financial Assets and Liabilities and Note 16 — Variable Interest Entities for additional information.

Note 6 — Early Plant Retirements
6. Early Plant Retirements (Exelon and Generation)
Exelon and Generation continuously evaluate factors that affect the current and expected economic value of Generation’s plants, including, but not limited to: market power prices, results of capacity auctions, potential legislative and regulatory solutions 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
In 2015 and 2016, Generation identified the Clinton and Quad Cities nuclear plants in Illinois, Ginna and Nine Mile Point nuclear plants in New York, and TMI nuclear plant in Pennsylvania as having the greatest risk of early retirement based on economic valuation and other factors. In 2017, PSEG made public similar financial challenges facing its New Jersey nuclear plants, including Salem, of which Generation owns a 42.59% ownership interest. PSEG is the operator of Salem and also has the decision-making authority to retire Salem.
Assuming the continued effectiveness of the Illinois ZES, New Jersey ZEC program, and the New York CES, Generation and CENG, through its ownership of Ginna and Nine Mile Point, no longer consider Clinton, Quad Cities, Salem, Ginna, or Nine Mile Point to be at heightened risk for early retirement. However, to the extent the Illinois ZES, New Jersey ZEC program, or the New York CES do not operate as expected over their full terms, each of these plants could again be at heightened risk for early retirement, which could have a material impact on Exelon’s and Generation’s future financial statements. In addition, FERC’s December 19, 2019 order on the MOPR in PJM may undermine the continued effectiveness of the Illinois ZES and the New Jersey ZEC program unless Illinois and New Jersey implement an FRR mechanism under which the Generation plants in these states would be removed from PJM’s capacity auction. See Note 2 — Regulatory Matters for additional information on the New Jersey ZEC program, New York CES, and FERC's December 19, 2019 order and Note 3 — Regulatory Matters of the 2019 Form 10-K for additional information on the Illinois ZES.
In Pennsylvania, the TMI nuclear plant did not clear in the May 2017 PJM capacity auction for the 2020-2021 planning year, the third consecutive year that TMI failed to clear the PJM base residual capacity auction and on May 30, 2017, based on these capacity auction results, prolonged periods of low wholesale power prices, and the absence of federal or state policies that place a value on nuclear energy for its ability to produce electricity without air pollution, Generation announced that it would permanently cease generation operations at TMI. On September 20, 2019, Generation permanently ceased generation operations at TMI.

Note 6 — Early Plant Retirements
Generation’s Dresden, Byron, and Braidwood nuclear plants in Illinois are also showing increased signs of economic distress, in a market that does not currently compensate them for their unique contribution to grid resiliency and their ability to produce large amounts of energy without carbon and air pollution. The May 2018 PJM capacity auction for the 2021-2022 planning year resulted in the largest volume of nuclear capacity ever not selected in the auction, including all of Dresden, and portions of Byron and Braidwood. While all of LaSalle's capacity did clear in the 2021-2022 planning year auction, Generation has become increasingly concerned about the economic viability of this plant as well in a landscape where energy market prices remain depressed and energy market rules remain fatally flawed.
On August 27, 2020, Generation announced that it intends to permanently cease generation operations at Byron in September 2021 and at Dresden in November 2021. The current NRC licenses for Byron Units 1 and 2 expire in 2044 and 2046, respectively, and the licenses for Dresden Units 2 and 3 expire in 2029 and 2031, respectively.
As a result of the decision to early retire Byron and Dresden, Exelon and Generation recognized certain one-time charges in the third quarter of 2020 related to materials and supplies inventory reserve adjustments, employee-related costs including severance benefit costs further discussed below, and construction work-in-progress impairments, among other items. In addition, as a result of the decisions to early retire Byron and Dresden, there are 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. See Note 7 - Nuclear Decommissioning for additional information on changes to the nuclear decommissioning ARO balance and Note 8 — Asset Impairments for impairment assessment considerations given to the Midwest asset group as a result of the early retirement decision. The total impact on Exelon's and Generation's Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income is summarized in the table below.

The offset results in an equal adjustment to the noncurrent payables to ComEd at Generation and an adjustment to the regulatory liabilities at ComEd. See Note 9 - Asset Retirement Obligations of the Exelon 2019 Form 10-K for additional information.

Note 6 — Early Plant Retirements
Severance benefit costs will be provided to employees impacted by the early retirements of Byron and Dresden, to the extent they are not redeployed to other nuclear plants. In the third quarter of 2020, Exelon and Generation recorded estimated severance expense of $81 million within Operating and maintenance expense in their Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income. The final amount of severance benefit costs will depend on the specific employees severed.
The following table provides the balance sheet amounts as of September 30, 2020 for Exelon's and Generation's significant assets and liabilities associated with the Braidwood and LaSalle nuclear plants. Current depreciation provisions are based on the estimated useful lives of these nuclear generating stations, which reflect the first renewal of the operating licenses.

Exelon continues to work with stakeholders on state policy solutions, while also advocating for broader market reforms at the regional and federal level. The absence of such solutions or reforms could result in future impairments of the Midwest asset group, or accelerated depreciation for specific plants over their shortened estimated useful lives, both of which could have a material unfavorable impact on Exelon's and Generation's future results of operations.
Other Generation
In March 2018, Generation notified ISO-NE of its 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 the FERC in December 2018.
On June 10, 2020, Generation 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 (FCA 15) 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, Exelon determined that Generation will permanently cease generation operations at Mystic 8 and 9 at the expiration of the cost of service commitment in May 2024. See Note 2 — Regulatory Matters for additional discussion of Mystic’s cost of service agreement.
As a result of the decision to early retire Mystic 8 and 9, Exelon and Generation recognized $43 million of one-time charges related to an expected long-term maintenance contract termination and materials and supplies inventory reserve adjustments, among other items. In addition, 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. Exelon and Generation recorded incremental Depreciation and amortization expense of $6 million in the third quarter of 2020. See Note 8 — Asset Impairments for impairment assessment considerations of the New England Asset Group.

Note 7 — Nuclear Decommissioning
7. Nuclear Decommissioning (Exelon and Generation)
Nuclear Decommissioning Asset Retirement Obligations
Generation has a legal obligation to decommission its nuclear power plants following the expiration of their operating licenses. To estimate its decommissioning obligation related to its nuclear generating stations for financial accounting and reporting purposes, Generation uses 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. Generation updates its ARO annually, unless circumstances warrant more frequent updates, based on its review of updated cost studies and its 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 within Property, plant, and equipment on Exelon’s and Generation’s Consolidated Balance Sheets. If the ARO decreases for a Non-Regulatory Agreement Unit without any remaining ARC, the corresponding change is recorded as decrease in Operating and maintenance expense within Exelon’s and Generation’s Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income.
The following table provides a rollforward of the nuclear decommissioning ARO reflected in Exelon’s and Generation’s Consolidated Balance Sheets from December 31, 2019 to September 30, 2020:
Nuclear decommissioning ARO at December 31, 2019 (a)
$10,504 
Accretion expense 367 
Net increase due to changes in, and timing of, estimated future cash flows 806 
Costs incurred related to decommissioning plants(59)
Nuclear decommissioning ARO at September 30, 2020 (a)
$11,618 
_________
(a)Includes $93 million and $112 million as the current portion of the ARO at September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively, which is included in Other current liabilities in Exelon’s and Generation’s Consolidated Balance Sheets.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, the net $806 million increase in the ARO for the changes in the amounts and timing of estimated decommissioning cash flows was driven by updates to Byron and Dresden reflecting changes in assumed retirement dates and assumed methods of decommissioning as a result of the announcement to early retire these plants in 2021. Refer to Note 6 — Early Plant Retirements for additional information.
NDT Funds
Exelon and Generation had NDT funds totaling $13,547 million and $13,353 million at September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively. The NDT funds also include $115 million and $163 million for the current portion of the NDT funds at September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively, which are included in Other current assets in Exelon's and Generation's Consolidated Balance Sheets. See Note 17 — Supplemental Financial Information for additional information on activities of the NDT funds.
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.
Generation filed its biennial decommissioning funding status report with the NRC on April 1, 2019 for all units, including its 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, 2018 for all units except for Clinton and Peach Bottom Unit 1. As of February 28, 2019, Clinton demonstrated adequate minimum funding assurance due to market recovery and no further action is required. This demonstration was also included in the April 1, 2019 submittal. On March 31, 2020, Generation filed its annual decommissioning funding status report with the NRC for Generation’s shutdown units (excluding Zion

Note 7 — Nuclear Decommissioning
Station for the reason noted above). The annual status report demonstrated adequate decommissioning funding assurance as of December 31, 2019, for all of its 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 ratepayers, 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 9 — Asset Retirement Obligations of the Exelon 2019 Form 10-K for information regarding the amount collected from PECO ratepayers for decommissioning cost.
Generation will file its next decommissioning funding status report with the NRC by March 31, 2021. This report will reflect the status of decommissioning funding assurance as of December 31, 2020 and will include the impact of the announced early retirement of Byron and Dresden. A shortfall could require Exelon to post parental guarantee for Generation’s share of the funding assurance. However, the amount of any required guarantee will ultimately depend on the decommissioning approach adopted at Byron and Dresden, the associated level of costs, and the decommissioning trust fund investment performance going forward.

8. Asset Impairments (Exelon and Generation)
The Registrants evaluate the carrying value of long-lived assets or asset groups for recoverability whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of those assets may not be recoverable. Indicators of impairment may include a deteriorating business climate, including, but not limited to, declines in energy prices, condition of the asset, specific regulatory disallowance, or plans to dispose of a long-lived asset significantly before the end of its useful life. The Registrants determine if long-lived assets or asset groups are impaired by comparing the undiscounted expected future cash flows to the carrying value. When the undiscounted cash flow analysis indicates a long-lived asset or asset group is not recoverable, the amount of the impairment loss is determined by measuring the excess of the carrying amount of the long-lived asset or asset group over its fair value. The fair value analysis is primarily based on the income approach using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) including revenue and generation forecasts, projected capital and maintenance expenditures, and discount rates. A variation in the assumptions used could lead to a different conclusion regarding the recoverability of an asset or asset group and, thus, could potentially result in material future impairments of the Registrant's long-lived assets.
Antelope Valley Solar Facility
Generation’s Antelope Valley, a 242 MW solar facility in Lancaster, CA, sells all of its output to PG&E through a PPA. As a result of the PG&E bankruptcy filing in the first quarter of 2019, Generation completed a comprehensive review of Antelope Valley's estimated undiscounted future cash flows and no impairment charge was recorded.
The United States Bankruptcy Court entered an order on June 20, 2020 confirming PG&E’s plan of reorganization. On July 1, 2020 the plan became effective, and PG&E emerged from bankruptcy. Under the confirmed plan, PG&E will continue to honor the existing PPA agreement with Antelope Valley.
See Note 12 - Debt and Credit Agreements for additional information.
New England Asset Group
During the first quarter of 2018, Mystic Unit 9 did not clear in the ISO-NE capacity auction for the 2021 - 2022 planning year. On March 29, 2018, Generation notified grid operator ISO-NE of its plans to early retire its Mystic Units 8 and 9 absent regulatory reforms on June 1, 2022. These events suggested that the carrying value of the New England asset group may be impaired. In the second quarter of 2018, Generation completed a comprehensive review of the estimated undiscounted future cash flows of the New England asset group and no impairment charge was required.
In the third quarter of 2020, in conjunction with the retirement announcement of Mystic Units 8 and 9, Generation completed a comprehensive review of the estimated undiscounted future cash flows of the New England asset group and concluded that the estimated undiscounted future cash flows and fair value of the New England asset group were less than their carrying values. As a result, a pre-tax impairment charge of $500 million was recorded in the third quarter of 2020 within Operating and maintenance expense in Exelon’s and Generation’s

Midwest Asset Group
In the third quarter of 2020, in conjunction with the retirement announcements of the Byron and Dresden nuclear plants, Generation completed a comprehensive review of the estimated undiscounted future cash flows of the Midwest asset group and no impairment charge was required.
We will continue to monitor the recoverability of the carrying value of the Midwest asset group as certain other nuclear plants in Illinois are also showing increased signs of economic distress, which could lead to an early retirement. See Note 6 - Early Plant Retirements for additional information.
Equity Method Investments in Certain Distributed Energy Companies
In the third quarter of 2019, Generation’s equity method investments in certain distributed energy companies were fully impaired due to an other-than-temporary decline in market conditions and underperforming projects. Exelon and Generation recorded a pre-tax impairment charge of $164 million in Equity in losses of unconsolidated affiliates and an offsetting pre-tax $96 million in Net income attributable to noncontrolling interests in their Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income. As a result, Generation accelerated the amortization of investment tax credits associated with these companies and Exelon and Generation recorded a benefit of $46 million in Income taxes. The impairment charge and the accelerated amortization of investment tax credits resulted in a net $15 million decrease to Exelon’s and Generation’s earnings. See Note 16 — Variable Interest Entities for additional information.

Note 9 — Income Taxes
Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes
Exelon, Generation, PHI, and ACE have the following unrecognized tax benefits as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019. ComEd, PECO, BGE, Pepco, and DPL's amounts are not material.

December 31, 2019507 441 48 14 
Exelon's and Generation's unrecognized federal and state tax benefits decreased in the first quarter of 2020 by approximately $411 million due to the settlement of a federal refund claim with IRS Appeals. The recognition of these tax benefits resulted in an increase to Exelon's and Generation’s net income of $76 million and $73 million, respectively, in the first quarter of 2020, reflecting a decrease to Exelon's and Generation's income tax expense of $67 million.
Reasonably possible the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits could significantly increase or decrease within 12 months after the reporting date
The following table represents Exelon's, PHI's, and ACE's unrecognized federal and state tax benefits that could significantly decrease within the 12 months after the reporting date as a result of completing audits, potential settlements, refund claims, and the outcomes of pending court cases as of September 30, 2020. Generation's, ComEd's, PECO's, BGE's, Pepco's, and DPL's amounts are not material.

(a)The unrecognized tax benefit related to ACE, if recognized, may be included in future base rates and that portion would have no impact to the effective tax rate.
Other Income Tax Matters
State Income Tax Law Changes
On June 5, 2019, the Governor of Illinois signed a tax bill which would increase the Illinois corporate income tax rate from 9.50% to 10.49% effective for tax years beginning on or after January 1, 2021. The tax rate is contingent upon ratification of state constitutional amendments in November 2020. The effect of the rate change will be recognized in the period in which the new legislation is enacted. Exelon, Generation, and ComEd do not expect a material impact to their financial statements as a result of the rate change.
Long-Term Marginal State Income Tax Rate (All Registrants)
In the third quarter of 2020 and 2019, Exelon updated its marginal state income tax rates for changes in state apportionment. The changes in marginal rates in the third quarter of 2020 resulted in an increase of $66 million and a decrease of $26 million to the deferred income tax liability at Exelon and Generation, respectively, as of September 30, 2020. The changes in marginal rates in the third quarter of 2019 resulted in an increase of $23 million and $9 million to the deferred income tax liability at Exelon and Generation, respectively, as of September 30, 2019. Exelon and Generation recorded a corresponding adjustment to income tax expense, net of federal taxes, in each of those respective periods.
Allocation of Tax Benefits (All Registrants)
Generation and the Utility Registrants are all party to an agreement with Exelon and other subsidiaries of Exelon that provides for the allocation of consolidated tax liabilities and benefits (Tax Sharing Agreement). The Tax Sharing Agreement provides that each party is allocated an amount of tax similar to that which would be owed had the party been separately subject to tax. In addition, any net benefit attributable to Exelon is reallocated to the other Registrants. That allocation is treated as a contribution to the capital of the party receiving the benefit.
The following table presents the allocation of federal tax benefits from Exelon under the Tax Sharing Agreement.

10. Retirement Benefits (All Registrants)
Defined Benefit Pension and OPEB
During the first quarter of 2020, Exelon received an updated valuation of its pension and OPEB to reflect actual census data as of January 1, 2020. This valuation resulted in an increase to the pension and OPEB obligations of $8 million and $31 million, respectively. Additionally, accumulated other comprehensive loss increased by $7 million (after-tax) and regulatory assets and liabilities increased by $19 million and decreased by $10 million, respectively.
The majority of the 2020 pension benefit cost for Exelon-sponsored plans is calculated using an expected long-term rate of return on plan assets of 7.00% and a discount rate of 3.34%. The majority of the 2020 OPEB cost is calculated using an expected long-term rate of return on plan assets of 6.69% for funded plans and a discount rate of 3.31%.
A portion of the net periodic benefit cost for all plans is capitalized within the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The following table presents the components of Exelon's net periodic benefit costs, prior to capitalization, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019.

11. Derivative Financial Instruments (All Registrants)
The Registrants 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 at Generation and are offset by a corresponding regulatory asset or liability at ComEd. For all NPNS derivative instruments, accounts receivable or accounts payable are recorded when derivative settles and revenue or expense is recognized in earnings as the underlying physical commodity is sold or consumed.

Table of Contents
COMBINED NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
(Dollars in millions, except per share data, unless otherwise noted)

Note 11 — Derivative Financial Instruments
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 referencing 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 that present fair value balances, Generation’s 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.
Generation’s and ComEd’s use of cash collateral is generally unrestricted unless Generation or ComEd are downgraded below investment grade. Cash collateral held by PECO, BGE, Pepco, DPL, and ACE must be deposited in an unaffiliated major U.S. commercial bank or foreign bank with a U.S. branch office that meet certain qualifications.
Commodity Price Risk (All Registrants)
Each of the Registrants employ established policies and procedures to manage their 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. The Registrants believe these instruments, which are either determined to be non-derivative or classified as economic hedges, mitigate exposure to fluctuations in commodity prices.
Generation. To the extent the amount of energy Generation produces differs from the amount of energy it has contracted to sell, Exelon and Generation are exposed to market fluctuations in the prices of electricity, fossil fuels, and other commodities. Within Exelon, Generation has the most exposure to commodity price risk. As such, Generation uses a variety of derivative and non-derivative instruments to manage the commodity price risk of its 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, Generation 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. Generation is 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.
Additionally, Generation is exposed to certain market risks through its proprietary trading activities. The proprietary trading activities are a complement to Generation’s energy marketing portfolio but represent a small portion of Generation’s overall energy marketing activities and are subject to limits established by Exelon’s RMC.
Utility Registrants. The Utility Registrants procure electric and natural gas supply through a competitive procurement process approved by each of the respective state utility commissions. The Utility Registrants’ hedging programs are intended to reduce exposure to energy and natural gas price volatility and have no direct earnings impact as the costs are fully recovered from customers through regulatory-approved recovery

(a)Exelon and Generation 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 Exelon and Generation 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 and not reflected in the table above.
(b)Of the collateral posted/(received), $34 million and $511 million represents variation margin on the exchanges at September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019 respectively.
Economic Hedges (Commodity Price Risk)
Generation. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, Exelon and Generation 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.

In general, increases and decreases in forward market prices have a positive and negative impact, respectively, on Generation’s owned and contracted generation positions that have not been hedged. Generation hedges commodity price risk on a ratable basis over three-year periods. As of September 30, 2020, the percentage of expected generation hedged for the Mid-Atlantic, Midwest, New York, and ERCOT reportable segments is 97%-100% and 87%-90% for 2020 and 2021, respectively.
Proprietary Trading (Commodity Price Risk)
Generation also executes 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 Exelon’s and Generation’s 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 and nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, net pre-tax commodity mark-to-market gains and losses for Exelon and Generation were not material. The Utility Registrants do not execute derivatives for proprietary trading purposes.

Note 11 — Derivative Financial Instruments
Interest Rate and Foreign Exchange Risk (Exelon and Generation)
Exelon and Generation utilize interest rate swaps, which are treated as economic hedges, to manage their interest rate exposure. On July 1, 2018, Exelon de-designated its fair value hedges related to interest rate risk and Generation de-designated its cash flow hedges related to interest rate risk. The notional amounts were $1,217 million and $1,269 million at September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively, for Exelon and $517 million and $569 million at September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively, for Generation.
Generation utilizes foreign currency derivatives to manage foreign exchange rate exposure associated with international commodity purchases in currencies other than U.S. dollars, which are treated as economic hedges. The notional amounts were $171 million and $231 million at September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively.
The mark-to-market derivative assets and liabilities as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019 and the mark-to-market gains and losses for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019 were not material for Exelon and Generation.
Credit Risk (All Registrants)
The Registrants 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 at the reporting date.
Generation. For commodity derivatives, Generation enters into enabling agreements that allow for payment netting with its counterparties, which reduces Generation’s 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 so, 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 allow for cross product netting. In addition to payment netting language in the enabling agreement, Generation’s 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 Generation as specified in each enabling agreement. Generation’s credit department monitors current and forward credit exposure to counterparties and their affiliates, both on an individual and an aggregate basis.

Note 11 — Derivative Financial Instruments
The following tables provide information on Generation’s 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 September 30, 2020. 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 figures in the tables below exclude credit risk exposure from individual retail counterparties, nuclear fuel procurement contracts, and exposure through RTOs, ISOs, NYMEX, ICE, NASDAQ, NGX, and Nodal commodity exchanges.

(a)As of September 30, 2020, credit collateral held from counterparties where Generation had credit exposure included $31 million of cash and $26 million of letters of credit. The credit collateral does not include non-liquid collateral.
Utility Registrants. The Utility Registrants have contracts to procure electric and natural gas supply that provide suppliers with a certain amount of unsecured credit. If the exposure on the supply contract exceeds the amount of unsecured credit, the suppliers may be required to post collateral. The net credit exposure is mitigated primarily by the ability to recover procurement costs through customer rates. As of September 30, 2020, the Utility Registrants’ counterparty credit risk with suppliers was not material.
Credit-Risk-Related Contingent Features (All Registrants)
Generation. As part of the normal course of business, Generation routinely enters 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 Generation’s derivative instruments contain provisions that require Generation to post collateral. Generation also enters 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 Generation’s 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 Generation were to be downgraded or lose its investment grade credit rating (based on its senior unsecured debt rating), it 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, Generation believes an amount of several months of future payments (i.e., capacity payments) rather than a calculation of fair value is the best estimate for the contingent collateral obligation, which has been factored into the disclosure below.

Note 11 — Derivative Financial Instruments
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:

(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.
(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 a Registrant 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 September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, Exelon and Generation 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.

Generation entered into supply forward contracts with certain utilities, including PECO and BGE, with one-sided collateral postings only from Generation. 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 Generation, are required to post collateral once certain unsecured credit limits are exceeded.
Utility Registrants
The Utility Registrants’ electric supply procurement contracts do not contain provisions that would require them to post collateral.
PECO’s, BGE’s, and DPL’s natural gas procurement contracts contain provisions that could require PECO, BGE, and DPL to post collateral in the form of cash or credit support, which vary by contract and counterparty, with thresholds contingent upon PECO’s, BGE, and DPL’s credit rating. As of September 30, 2020, PECO, BGE, and DPL were not required to post collateral for any of these agreements. If PECO, BGE, or DPL lost their investment grade credit ratings as of September 30, 2020, they could have been required to post incremental collateral to its counterparties of $22 million, $31 million and $10 million, respectively.

Debt Covenants
As of September 30, 2020, the Registrants are in compliance with debt covenants.
Nonrecourse Debt
Exelon and Generation have issued nonrecourse debt financing. Borrowings under these agreements are secured by the assets and equity of each respective project. The lenders do not have recourse against Exelon or Generation in the event of a default.
Antelope Valley Solar Ranch One.  In December 2011, the DOE Loan Programs Office issued a guarantee for up to $646 million for a nonrecourse loan from the Federal Financing Bank to support the financing of the construction of the Antelope Valley facility. The project became fully operational in 2014. The loan will mature on January 5, 2037. As of September 30, 2020, approximately $470 million was outstanding. In addition, Generation has issued letters of credit to support its equity investment in the project. As of September 30, 2020, Generation had $37 million in letters of credit outstanding related to the project. In 2017, Generation’s interests in Antelope Valley were also contributed to and are pledged as collateral for the EGR IV financing structure referenced below.
Antelope Valley sells all of its output to PG&E through a PPA. On January 29, 2019, PG&E filed for protection under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code, which created an event of default for Antelope Valley’s nonrecourse debt that provided the lender with a right to accelerate amounts outstanding under the loan such that they would become immediately due and payable. As a result of the event of default and in the absence of a waiver from the lender foregoing their acceleration rights, the debt was reclassified as current in Exelon’s and Generation’s Consolidated Balance Sheets in the first quarter of 2019. Further, distributions from Antelope Valley to EGR IV were suspended.
The United States Bankruptcy Court entered an order on June 20, 2020 confirming PG&E’s plan of reorganization. On July 1, 2020 the plan became effective, and PG&E emerged from bankruptcy. On July 21, 2020, Antelope Valley received a waiver from the DOE for the event of default and, as such, distributions from Antelope Valley to EGR IV were permitted and the debt was classified as noncurrent as of June 30, 2020. The debt continues to be presented as noncurrent as of September 30, 2020.
See Note 8 — Asset Impairments for additional information.
ExGen Renewables IV.  In November 2017, EGR IV, an indirect subsidiary of Exelon and Generation, entered into an $850 million nonrecourse senior secured term loan credit facility agreement. Generation’s interests in EGRP, Antelope Valley, SolGen, and Albany Green Energy were all contributed to and are pledged as collateral for this financing. The loan is scheduled to mature on November 28, 2024. As of September 30, 2020, approximately $710 million was outstanding.
See Note 16— Debt and Credit Agreements of the Exelon 2019 Form 10-K for additional information on nonrecourse debt.

Note 13 — Fair Value of Financial Assets and Liabilities
13. Fair Value of Financial Assets and Liabilities (All Registrants)
Exelon measures and classifies fair value measurements in accordance with the hierarchy as defined by GAAP. The hierarchy prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three levels as follows:
Level 1 - quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Registrants have the ability to liquidate as of the reporting date.
Level 2 - inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are directly observable for the asset or liability or indirectly observable through corroboration with observable market data.
Level 3 - unobservable inputs, such as internally developed pricing models or third-party valuations for the asset or liability due to little or no market activity for the asset or liability.
Fair Value of Financial Liabilities Recorded at Amortized Cost
The following tables present the carrying amounts and fair values of the Registrants’ short-term liabilities, long-term debt, SNF obligation, and trust preferred securities (long-term debt to financing trusts or junior subordinated debentures) as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019. The Registrants have no financial liabilities classified as Level 1.
The carrying amounts of the Registrants’ short-term liabilities as presented on their Consolidated Balance Sheets are representative of their fair value (Level 2) because of the short-term nature of these instruments.

Valuation Techniques Used to Determine Fair Value
Exelon’s valuation techniques used to measure the fair value of the assets and liabilities shown in the tables below are in accordance with the policies discussed in Note 17 — Fair Value of Financial Assets and Liabilities of the Exelon 2019 Form 10-K.
Valuation Techniques Used to Determine Net asset Value (Exelon and Generation)
Certain NDT Fund Investments are not classified within the fair value hierarchy and are included under the heading “Not subject to leveling” in the table above. These investments are measured at fair value using NAV per share as a practical expedient and include commingled funds, mutual funds which are not publicly quoted, managed private credit funds, private equity and real estate funds.
For commingled funds and mutual funds, which are not publicly quoted, the fair value is primarily derived from the quoted prices in active markets on the underlying securities and can typically be redeemed monthly with 30 or less days of notice and without further restrictions. For managed private credit funds, the fair value is determined using a combination of valuation models including cost models, market models, and income models and typically cannot be redeemed until maturity of the term loan. Private equity and real estate investments include those in limited partnerships that invest in operating companies and real estate holding companies that are not publicly traded on a stock exchange, such as, leveraged buyouts, growth capital, venture capital, distressed investments, investments in natural resources, and direct investments in pools of real estate properties. These investments typically cannot be redeemed and are generally liquidated over a period of 8 to 10 years from the initial investment date, which is based on Exelon’s understanding of the investment funds. Private equity and real estate valuations are reported by the fund manager and are based on the valuation of the underlying investments, which include inputs such as cost, operating results, discounted future cash flows, market based comparable data, and independent appraisals from sources with professional qualifications. These valuation inputs are unobservable.
Deferred Purchase Price Consideration (Exelon and Generation)
Exelon and Generation have DPP consideration for the sale of certain receivables of retail electricity at Generation. This amount is valued based on the sales price of the receivables net of allowance for credit losses based on accounts receivable aging historical experience coupled with specific identification through a credit monitoring process, which considers current conditions and forward-looking information such as industry trends, macroeconomic factors, changes in the regulatory environment, external credit ratings, publicly available news, payment status, payment history, and the exercise of collateral calls. Since the DPP consideration is based on the sales price of the receivables, it is categorized as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy. See Note 5 - Accounts Receivable for additional information on the sale of certain receivables.

(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 posted on level three positions of $94 million and $214 million as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively.
(c)Quoted forward natural gas rates are utilized to project the forward power curve for the delivery of energy at specified future dates. The natural gas curve is extrapolated beyond its observable period to the end of the contract’s delivery.
The inputs listed above, which are as of the balance sheet date, would have a direct impact on the fair values of the above instruments if they were adjusted. The significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of Generation’s commodity derivatives are forward commodity prices and for options is price volatility. Increases (decreases) in the forward commodity price in isolation would result in significantly higher (lower) fair values for long positions (contracts that give Generation the obligation or option to purchase a commodity), with offsetting impacts to short positions (contracts that give Generation the obligation or right to sell a commodity). Increases (decreases) in volatility would increase (decrease) the value for the holder of the option (writer of the option). Generally, a change in the estimate of forward commodity prices is unrelated to a change in the estimate of volatility of prices. An increase to the reserves listed above would decrease the fair value of the positions. An increase to the heat rate or renewable factors would increase the fair value accordingly. Generally, interrelationships exist between market prices of natural gas and power. As such, an increase in natural gas pricing would potentially have a similar impact on forward power markets.

(a)Remaining commitments extend through 2026 and include rate credits, energy efficiency programs and delivery system modernization.
In addition, Exelon is committed to develop or to assist in the commercial development of approximately 37 MWs of new solar generation in Maryland, District of Columbia, and Delaware at an estimated cost of approximately $135 million, which will generate future earnings at Exelon and Generation. Investment costs, which are expected to be primarily capital in nature, are recognized as incurred and recorded in Exelon's and Generation's financial statements. As of September 30, 2020, 27 MWs of new generation were developed and Exelon and Generation have incurred costs of $118 million. Exelon has also committed to purchase 100 MWs of wind energy in PJM. DPL has committed to conducting three RFPs to procure up to a total of 120 MWs of wind RECs for the purpose of meeting Delaware's renewable portfolio standards. DPL has conducted two of the three wind REC RFPs. The first 40 MW wind REC tranche was conducted in 2017 and did not result in a purchase agreement. The second 40 MW wind REC tranche was conducted in 2018 and resulted in a proposed REC purchase agreement that was approved by the DPSC in 2019. The third and final 40 MW wind REC tranche will be conducted in 2022.

(b)Represents the maximum potential obligation in the event that the fair value of certain leased equipment and fleet vehicles is zero at the end of the maximum lease term. The lease term associated with these assets ranges from 1 to 8 years. The maximum potential obligation at the end of the minimum lease term would be $74 million guaranteed by Exelon and PHI, of which $25 million, $31 million, and $18 million is guaranteed by Pepco, DPL, and ACE, respectively. Historically, payments under the guarantees have not been made and PHI believes the likelihood of payments being required under the guarantees is remote.
Environmental Remediation Matters
General (All Registrants). The Registrants’ 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, the Registrants are generally liable for the costs of remediating environmental contamination of property now or formerly owned by them and of property contaminated by hazardous substances generated by them. The Registrants own or lease a number of real estate parcels, including parcels on which their operations or the operations of others may have resulted in contamination by substances that are considered hazardous under environmental laws. In addition, the Registrants are currently involved in a number of proceedings relating to sites where hazardous substances have been deposited and may be subject to additional proceedings in the future. Unless otherwise disclosed, the Registrants cannot reasonably estimate whether they will incur significant liabilities for additional investigation and remediation costs at these or additional sites identified by the Registrants, environmental agencies or others, or whether such costs will be recoverable from third parties, including customers. Additional costs could have a material, unfavorable impact on the Registrants' financial statements.
MGP Sites (Exelon and the Utility Registrants). ComEd, PECO, BGE, and DPL have identified sites where former MGP or gas purification activities have or may have resulted in actual site contamination. For almost all of these sites, there are additional PRPs that may share responsibility for the ultimate remediation of each location.
ComEd has 21 sites that are currently under some degree of active study and/or remediation. ComEd expects the majority of the remediation at these sites to continue through at least 2025.
PECO has 8 sites that are currently under some degree of active study and/or remediation. PECO expects the majority of the remediation at these sites to continue through at least 2023.
BGE has 4 sites that currently require some level of remediation and/or ongoing activity. BGE expects the majority of the remediation at these sites to continue through at least 2023.
DPL has 1 site that is currently under study and the required cost at the site is not expected to be material.
The historical nature of the MGP and gas purification sites and the fact that many of the sites have been buried and built over, impacts the ability to determine a precise estimate of the ultimate costs prior to initial sampling and determination of the exact scope and method of remedial activity. Management determines its best estimate of remediation costs using all available information at the time of each study, including probabilistic and deterministic modeling for ComEd and PECO, and the remediation standards currently required by the applicable state environmental agency. Prior to completion of any significant clean up, each site remediation plan is approved by the appropriate state environmental agency.
ComEd, pursuant to an ICC order, and PECO, pursuant to settlements of natural gas distribution rate cases with the PAPUC, are currently recovering environmental remediation costs of former MGP facility sites through customer rates. While BGE and DPL do not have riders for MGP clean-up costs, they have historically received recovery of actual clean-up costs in distribution rates.

Cotter Corporation (Exelon and Generation). The EPA has advised Cotter Corporation (Cotter), a former ComEd subsidiary, that it is potentially liable in connection with radiological contamination at a site known as the West Lake Landfill 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 in connection with the West Lake Landfill. In connection with Exelon’s 2001 corporate restructuring, this responsibility to indemnify Cotter was transferred to Generation. Including Cotter, there are three PRPs participating in the West Lake Landfill remediation proceeding. Investigation by Generation has identified a number of 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 (ROD) Amendment for the selection of a final remedy. The ROD Amendment modified the remedy previously selected by EPA in its 2008 ROD. While the ROD required only that the radiological materials and other wastes at the site be capped, the ROD Amendment requires partial excavation of the radiological materials in addition to the previously selected capping remedy. The ROD Amendment 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 by early 2022. In March 2019 the PRPs received Special Notice Letters from the EPA to perform the Remedial Action work. On October 8, 2019, Cotter (Generation’s 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, taking into account the current EPA technical requirements and the total costs expected to be incurred collectively by the PRPs in fully executing the remedy, is approximately $280 million, including cost escalation on an undiscounted basis, which would be allocated among the final group of PRPs. Generation has determined that a loss associated with the EPA’s partial excavation and enhanced landfill cover remedy is probable and has recorded a liability included in the table 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 Generation’s 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 Exelon's and Generation's future 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 the subsurface fire from spreading to those areas of the West Lake Landfill where radiological materials are believed to have been disposed. At this time, Exelon and Generation 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 Exelon’s and Generation's 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

Note 14 — Commitments and Contingencies
Investigation (RI)/Feasibility Study (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. Generation estimates the undiscounted cost for the groundwater RI/FS to be approximately $30 million. Generation determined a loss associated with the RI/FS is probable and has recorded a liability included in the table above that reflects management’s best estimate of Cotter’s allocable share of the cost among the PRPs. At this time Generation 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 Exelon’s and Generation’s future financial statements.
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 Latty Avenue site is included in ComEd’s (now Generation's) indemnification responsibilities discussed above as part of the sale of Cotter. 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 FUSRAP. Pursuant to a series of annual agreements since 2011, the DOJ and the PRPs have tolled the statute of limitations until February 28, 2021 so that settlement discussions can proceed. On August 3, 2020, the DOJ advised Cotter and the other PRPs that it is seeking approximately $90 million from all the PRPs and that the PRPs must submit a good faith joint proposed settlement offer by December 1, 2020. Generation has determined that a loss associated with this matter is probable under its indemnification agreement with Cotter and has recorded an estimated liability, which is included in the table above.
Benning Road Site (Exelon, Generation, PHI, and Pepco). In September 2010, PHI received a letter from EPA identifying the Benning Road site as one of six land-based sites potentially contributing to contamination of the lower Anacostia River. A portion of the site was formerly the location of a Pepco Energy Services electric generating facility, which was deactivated in June 2012. The remaining portion of the site consists of a Pepco transmission and distribution service center that remains in operation. In December 2011, the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia approved a Consent Decree entered into by Pepco and Pepco Energy Services with the DOEE, which requires Pepco and Pepco Energy Services to conduct a RI/FS for the Benning Road site and an approximately 10 to 15-acre portion of the adjacent Anacostia River.
Since 2013, Pepco and Pepco Energy Services (now Generation, pursuant to Exelon's 2016 acquisition of PHI) have been performing RI work and have submitted multiple draft RI reports to the DOEE. In September 2019, Pepco and Generation issued a draft “final” RI report which DOEE approved on February 3, 2020, following a 45-day public comment period and a public meeting. Pepco and Generation are developing a FS to evaluate possible remedial alternatives for submission to DOEE. The Court has established a schedule for completion of the FS, and approval by the DOEE, by September 16, 2021.
DOEE will then prepare a Proposed Plan and issue a Record of Decision identifying any further response actions determined to be necessary, after considering public comment on the Proposed Plan. PHI, Pepco, and Generation have determined that a loss associated with this matter is probable and have accrued an estimated liability, which is included in the table above.
Anacostia River Tidal Reach (Exelon, PHI, and Pepco). Contemporaneous with the Benning Road site RI/FS being performed by Pepco and Generation, DOEE and the National Park Service have been conducting a separate RI/FS focused on the entire tidal reach of the Anacostia River extending from just north of the Maryland-District of Columbia boundary line to the confluence of the Anacostia and Potomac Rivers. The river-wide RI incorporated the results of the river sampling performed by Pepco and Pepco Energy Services as part of the Benning RI/FS, as well as similar sampling efforts conducted by owners of other sites adjacent to this segment of the river and supplemental river sampling conducted by DOEE’s contractor. DOEE asked Pepco, along with parties responsible for other sites along the river, to participate in a "Consultative Working Group" to provide input into the process for future remedial actions and to ensure proper coordination with the other river cleanup efforts currently underway, including cleanup of the river segment adjacent to the Benning Road site resulting from the Benning Road site RI/FS. In addition, the District of Columbia Council directed DOEE to form an official advisory committee made up of members of federal, state, and local environmental regulators, community and

environmental groups, and various academic and technical experts to provide guidance and support to DOEE as the project progressed. This group, called the Anacostia Leadership Council, has met regularly since it was formed. Pepco has participated in the Consultative Working Group. In April 2018, DOEE released a draft RI report for public review and comment. Pepco submitted written comments to the draft RI and participated in a public hearing.
Pepco has determined that it is probable that costs for remediation will be incurred and recorded a liability in the third quarter 2019 for management’s best estimate of its share of those costs based on DOEE’s stated position following a series of meetings attended by representatives from the Anacostia Leadership Council and the Consultative Working Group. On December 27, 2019, DOEE released for review and comment by the public a Focused Feasibility Study (FFS) and a Proposed Plan (PP), and on September 30, 2020, DOEE released its Interim ROD. The Interim ROD reflects an adaptive management approach which will require several identified “hot spots” in the river to be addressed first while continuing to conduct studies and to monitor the river to evaluate improvements and determine potential future remediation plans. The adaptive management process chosen by DOEE is less intrusive, provides more long-term environmental certainty, is less costly, and allows for site specific remediation plans already underway, including the plan for the Benning Road site to proceed to conclusion. Pepco concluded that incremental exposure remains reasonably possible, however management cannot reasonably estimate a range of loss beyond the amounts recorded, which are included in the table above.
In addition to the activities associated with the remedial process outlined above, CERCLA separately requires federal and state (here including Washington, D.C.) Natural Resource Trustees (federal or state agencies designated by the President or the relevant state, respectively, or Indian tribes) to conduct an assessment of any damages to natural resources within their jurisdiction as a result of the contamination that is being remediated. The Trustees can seek compensation from responsible parties for such damages, including restoration costs. The Natural Resource Damages (NRD) assessment typically takes place following cleanup because cleanups sometimes also effectively restore affected natural resources. During the second quarter of 2018, Pepco became aware that the Trustees are in the beginning stages of this process that often takes many years beyond the remedial decision to complete. Pepco has concluded that a loss associated with the eventual NRD assessment is reasonably possible. Due to the very early stage of the assessment process, Pepco cannot reasonably estimate the range of loss.
Litigation and Regulatory Matters
Asbestos Personal Injury Claims (Exelon and Generation). Generation maintains a reserve for claims associated with asbestos-related personal injury actions in certain facilities that are currently owned by Generation or were previously owned by ComEd and PECO. 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 September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, Exelon and Generation had recorded estimated liabilities of approximately $91 million and $83 million, respectively, in total for asbestos-related bodily injury claims. As of September 30, 2020, approximately $27 million of this amount related to 274 open claims presented to Generation, while the remaining $64 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, Generation monitors actual experience against the number of forecasted claims to be received and expected claim payments and evaluates whether adjustments to the estimated liabilities are necessary.
It is reasonably possible that additional exposure to estimated future asbestos-related bodily injury claims in excess of the amount accrued could have a material, unfavorable impact on Exelon’s and Generation’s financial statements. However, management cannot reasonably estimate a range of loss beyond the amounts recorded.
City of Everett Tax Increment Financing Agreement (Exelon and Generation). On April 10, 2017, the City of Everett petitioned the Massachusetts Economic Assistance Coordinating Council (EACC) to revoke the 1999 tax increment financing agreement (TIF Agreement) relating to Mystic Units 8 and 9 on the grounds that the total investment in Mystic Units 8 and 9 materially deviates from the investment set forth in the TIF Agreement. On October 31, 2017, a three-member panel of the EACC conducted an administrative hearing on the City’s petition. On November 30, 2017, the hearing panel issued a tentative decision denying the City’s petition, finding that there was no material misrepresentation that would justify revocation of the TIF Agreement. On December 13,

Note 14 — Commitments and Contingencies
2017, the tentative decision was adopted by the full EACC. On January 12, 2018, the City filed a complaint in Massachusetts Superior Court requesting, among other things, that the court set aside the EACC’s decision, grant the City’s request to decertify the Project and the TIF Agreement, and award the City damages for alleged underpaid taxes over the period of the TIF Agreement. On January 8, 2020, the Massachusetts Superior Court affirmed the decision of the EACC denying the City's petition. The City had until March 9, 2020 to appeal the decision and did not. As a result, the decision is final and the case is resolved. It is reasonably possible that property taxes assessed in future periods, including those following the expiration of the TIF Agreement on June 30, 2020, could be material to Generation’s financial statements.
Deferred Prosecution Agreement (DPA) and Related Matters (Exelon and ComEd). Exelon and ComEd received a grand jury subpoena in the second quarter of 2019 from the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Northern District of Illinois (USAO) requiring production of information concerning their lobbying activities in the State of Illinois. On October 4, 2019, Exelon and ComEd received a second grand jury subpoena from the USAO requiring production of records of any communications with certain individuals and entities. On October 22, 2019, the SEC notified Exelon and ComEd that it had also opened an investigation into their lobbying activities. On July 17, 2020, ComEd entered into a DPA with the USAO to resolve the USAO investigation. Under the DPA, the USAO filed a single charge alleging that ComEd improperly gave and offered to give jobs, vendor subcontracts, and payments associated with those jobs and subcontracts for the benefit of the Speaker of the Illinois House of Representatives and the Speaker’s associates, with the intent to influence the Speaker’s action regarding legislation affecting ComEd’s interests. The DPA provides that the USAO will defer any prosecution of such charge and any other criminal or civil case against ComEd in connection with the matters identified therein for a three-year period subject to certain obligations of ComEd, including payment to the U.S. Treasury of $200 million, with $100 million payable within thirty days of the filing of the DPA with the United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois and an additional $100 million within ninety days of such filing date. The payments were recorded within Operating and maintenance expense in Exelon’s and ComEd’s Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income in the second quarter of 2020. The payments will not be recovered in rates or charged to customers and ComEd will not seek or accept reimbursement or indemnification from any source other than Exelon. Exelon made equity contributions to ComEd of $100 million in August 2020 and $100 million in October 2020. On August 13, 2020, a motion was filed in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Illinois by and on behalf of ComEd customers seeking to enjoin ComEd from paying these funds to the U.S. Treasury and requiring the U.S. government to establish a victims’ restitution fund from which the $200 million would be disbursed to ComEd customers. The U.S. government and ComEd filed briefs in opposition to this motion. The motion remains pending, and at the U.S. government's direction, the $200 million payment will not be transferred to the U.S. Treasury until the court rules on the motion. $100 million was recorded as Restricted cash and cash equivalents on Exelon’s and ComEd’s Consolidated Balance Sheets as of September 30, 2020 and $100 million was recorded as restricted cash in October 2020.
Exelon was not made a party to the DPA, and therefore the investigation by the USAO into Exelon’s activities ends with no charges being brought against Exelon.
The SEC’s investigation remains ongoing and Exelon and ComEd have cooperated fully and intend to continue to cooperate fully with the SEC. Exelon and ComEd cannot predict the outcome of the SEC investigation. No loss contingency has been reflected in Exelon's and ComEd's consolidated financial statements with respect to the SEC investigation, as this contingency is neither probable nor reasonably estimable at this time.
Subsequent to Exelon announcing the receipt of the subpoenas, various lawsuits have been filed and two demand letters have been received related to the subject of the subpoenas, the conduct described in the DPA and the SEC's investigation, including:
A putative class action lawsuit against Exelon and certain officers of Exelon and ComEd was filed in federal court in December 2019 alleging misrepresentations and omissions in Exelon’s SEC filings related to ComEd’s lobbying activities and the related investigations. The complaint was amended on September 16, 2020, to dismiss two of the original defendants and add other defendants, including ComEd.
A derivative shareholder lawsuit was filed against Exelon, its directors and certain officers of Exelon and ComEd in April 2020 alleging, among other things, breaches of fiduciary duties also purporting to relate to matters that are the subject of the subpoenas and the SEC investigation. The plaintiff voluntarily dismissed this derivative action without prejudice to refile on July 28, 2020.

Note 14 — Commitments and Contingencies
Three putative class action lawsuits against ComEd and Exelon were filed in Illinois state court in the third quarter of 2020 seeking restitution and compensatory damages on behalf of ComEd customers. These three state cases were consolidated into a single action in October of 2020. In addition, on November 2, 2020, the Citizens Utility Board (CUB) filed a motion to intervene in the state cases pursuant to an Illinois statute allowing the CUB to intervene as a party or otherwise participate on behalf of utility consumers in any proceeding which affects the interest of utility consumers. The CUB has requested that the court stay the state cases pending the resolution of the federal cases, described below.
Four putative class action lawsuits against ComEd and Exelon were filed in federal court in the third quarter of 2020 alleging, among other things, civil violations of federal racketeering laws. In addition, the CUB filed a motion to intervene in these cases on October 22, 2020 and filed a proposed complaint against ComEd in conjunction with that motion alleging Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organization Act (RICO) and other causes of action on October 29, 2020.
Two shareholders sent letters to the Exelon Board of Directors in the third quarter of 2020 demanding, among other things, that the Exelon Board of Directors investigate and address alleged breaches of fiduciary duties and other alleged violations by Exelon and ComEd officers and directors related to the conduct described in the DPA.
No loss contingencies have been reflected in Exelon’s and ComEd’s consolidated financial statements with respect to these matters, as such contingencies are neither probable nor reasonably estimable at this time.
General (All Registrants). The Registrants 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. The Registrants 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.

16. Variable Interest Entities (Exelon, Generation, PHI and ACE)
At September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, Exelon, Generation, PHI, and ACE collectively consolidated several VIEs or VIE groups for which the applicable Registrant was the primary beneficiary (see Consolidated VIEs below) and had significant interests in several other VIEs for which the applicable Registrant does not have the power to direct the entities’ activities and, accordingly, was not the primary beneficiary (see Unconsolidated VIEs below). Consolidated and unconsolidated VIEs are aggregated to the extent that the entities have similar risk profiles.
Consolidated VIEs
The table below shows the carrying amounts and classification of the consolidated VIEs’ assets and liabilities included in the consolidated financial statements of Exelon, Generation, PHI, and ACE as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019. The assets, except as noted in the footnotes to the table below, can only be used to settle obligations of the VIEs. The liabilities, except as noted in the footnote to the table below, are such that creditors, or beneficiaries, do not have recourse to the general credit of Exelon, Generation, PHI, and ACE.

Note 16 — Variable Interest Entities


As of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, Exelon's and Generation's consolidated VIEs consist of:
Consolidated VIE or VIE groups:Reason entity is a VIE:Reason Generation is primary beneficiary:
CENG - A joint venture between Generation and EDF. Generation has a 50.01% equity ownership in CENG. See additional discussion below.
Disproportionate relationship between equity interest and operational control as a result of NOSA described further below.Generation conducts the operational activities.
EGRP - A collection of wind and solar project entities. Generation has a 51% equity ownership in EGRP. 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.Generation conducts the operational activities.
Bluestem Wind Energy Holdings, LLC - A Tax Equity structure which is consolidated by EGRP. Generation is a minority interest holder.Similar structure to a limited partnership and the limited partners do not have kick out rights with respect to the general partner.Generation conducts the operational activities.
Antelope Valley - A solar generating facility, which is 100% owned by Generation. Antelope Valley sells all of its output to PG&E through a PPA.
The PPA contract absorbs variability through a performance guarantee.Generation conducts all activities.
Equity investment in distributed energy company - Generation has a 31% equity ownership. This distributed energy company has an interest in an unconsolidated VIE (see Unconsolidated VIEs disclosure below).

Generation fully impaired this investment in the third quarter of 2019. See Note 11— Asset Impairments of the Exelon 2019 Form 10-K for additional information.
Similar structure to a limited partnership and the limited partners do not have kick out rights with respect to the general partner.Generation conducts the operational activities.
NER - A bankruptcy remote, special purpose entity which is 100% owned by Generation, which purchases certain of Generation’s 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. See Note 5 - Accounts Receivable for additional information on the sale of receivables.

Equity capitalization is insufficient to support its operations.


Generation conducts all activities.
CENG - On April 1, 2014, Generation, CENG, and subsidiaries of CENG executed the NOSA pursuant to which Generation conducts all activities associated with the operations of the CENG fleet and provides corporate and administrative services to CENG and the CENG fleet for the remaining life of the CENG nuclear plants as if they were a part of the Generation nuclear fleet, subject to the CENG member rights of EDF.
EDF has the option to sell its 49.99% equity interest in CENG to Generation exercisable beginning on January 1, 2016 and thereafter until June 30, 2022. On November 20, 2019, Generation received notice of EDF's intention to exercise the put option to sell its interest in CENG to Generation and the put automatically exercised on January 19, 2020 at the end of the sixty-day advance notice period.
At this time, Generation cannot reasonably predict the ultimate purchase price that will be paid to EDF for its interest in CENG. The transaction will require approval by the NYPSC and the FERC. The FERC approval was obtained on July 30, 2020. From the date the put was exercised, the process and regulatory approvals could take one to two years to complete.
See Note 2 - Mergers, Acquisitions and Dispositions of the Exelon 2019 Form 10-K for additional information regarding the Put Option Agreement with EDF.
Exelon and Generation, where indicated, provide the following support to CENG:
Generation executed an Indemnity Agreement pursuant to which Generation agreed to indemnify EDF against third-party claims that may arise from any future nuclear incident (as defined in the Price-Anderson Act) in connection with the CENG nuclear plants or their operations. Exelon guarantees Generation’s obligations under this Indemnity Agreement. See Note 18 — Commitments and Contingencies of the Exelon 2019 Form 10-K for more details,

Note 16 — Variable Interest Entities


Generation and EDF share in the $688 million of contingent payment obligations for the payment of contingent retrospective premium adjustments for the nuclear liability insurance, and
Exelon has executed an agreement to provide up to $245 million to support the operations of CENG as well as a $165 million guarantee of CENG’s cash pooling agreement with its subsidiaries.
EGRP - EGRP is a collection of wind and solar project entities and some of these project entities are VIEs that are consolidated by EGRP. Generation owns a number of limited liability companies that build, own, and operate solar and wind power facilities some of which are owned by EGRP. While Generation or EGRP owns 100% of the solar entities and 100% of the majority of the wind entities, it has been determined that certain of the solar and wind entities are VIEs because the entities require additional subordinated financial support in the form of a parental guarantee of debt, loans from the customers in order to obtain the necessary funds for construction of the solar facilities, or the customers absorb price variability from the entities through the fixed price power and/or REC purchase agreements. Generation is the primary beneficiary of these solar and wind entities that qualify as VIEs because Generation controls the design, construction, and operation of the facilities. Generation provides operating and capital funding to the solar and wind entities for ongoing construction, operations and maintenance and there is limited recourse related to Generation related to certain solar and wind entities.
In 2017, Generation’s interests in EGRP were contributed to and are pledged for the ExGen Renewables IV non-recourse debt project financing structure. Refer to Note 12— Debt and Credit Agreements for additional information on ExGen Renewables IV.
As of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, Exelon's, PHI's and ACE's consolidated VIE consists of:
Consolidated VIEs:Reason entity is a VIE:Reason ACE is the primary beneficiary:
ACE Funding - A special purpose entity formed by ACE for the purpose of securitizing authorized portions of ACE’s recoverable stranded costs through the issuance and sale of Transition Bonds. Proceeds from the sale of each series of Transition Bonds by ATF were transferred to ACE in exchange for the transfer by ACE to ATF of the right to collect a non-bypassable Transition Bond Charge from ACE customers pursuant to bondable stranded costs rate orders issued by the NJBPU in an amount sufficient to fund the principal and interest payments on Transition Bonds and related taxes, expenses and fees.ACE’s equity investment is a variable interest as, by design, it absorbs any initial variability of ATF. The bondholders also have a variable interest for the investment made to purchase the Transition Bonds.ACE controls the servicing activities.
Unconsolidated VIEs
Exelon’s and Generation’s 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 Exelon’s and Generation’s Consolidated Balance Sheets in Investments. For the energy purchase and sale contracts (commercial agreements), the carrying amount of assets and liabilities in Exelon’s and Generation’s Consolidated Balance Sheets that relate to their involvement with the VIEs are predominately related to working capital accounts and generally represent the amounts owed by, or owed to, Exelon and Generation for the deliveries associated with the current billing cycles under the commercial agreements.
As of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, Exelon and Generation had significant unconsolidated variable interests in several VIEs for which Exelon or Generation, as applicable, was not the primary beneficiary. These interests include certain equity method investments and certain commercial agreements.

Borrowings from Exelon/PHI intercompany money pool
To provide an additional short-term borrowing option that will generally be more favorable to the borrowing participants than the cost of external financing both Exelon and PHI operate an intercompany money pool. Generation, ComEd, PECO, and PHI Corporate participate in the Exelon money pool. Pepco, DPL, and ACE participate in the PHI intercompany money pool.
Noncurrent Receivables from/Payables to affiliates
Generation has long-term payables to ComEd and PECO as a result of the nuclear decommissioning contractual construct whereby, to the extent NDT funds are greater than the underlying ARO at the end of decommissioning, such amounts are due back to ComEd and PECO, as applicable, for payment to their respective customers. See Note 9 — Asset Retirement Obligations of the Exelon 2019 Form 10-K for additional information.

Item 2.    Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
(Dollars in millions except per share data, unless otherwise noted)
Exelon
Executive Overview
Exelon is a utility services holding company engaged in the generation, delivery, and marketing of energy through Generation and the energy distribution and transmission businesses through ComEd, PECO, BGE, Pepco, DPL, and ACE.
Exelon has eleven reportable segments consisting of Generation’s five reportable segments (Mid-Atlantic, Midwest, New York, ERCOT, and Other Power Regions), ComEd, PECO, BGE, Pepco, DPL, and ACE. See Note 1 — Significant Accounting Policies and Note 4 — Segment Information of the Combined Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information regarding Exelon's principal subsidiaries and reportable segments.
Exelon’s consolidated financial information includes the results of its eight separate operating subsidiary registrants, Generation, ComEd, PECO, BGE, PHI, Pepco, DPL, and ACE, which, along with Exelon, are collectively referred to as the Registrants. The following combined Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations is separately filed by Exelon, Generation, ComEd, PECO, BGE, PHI, Pepco, DPL, and ACE. However, none of the Registrants makes any representation as to information related solely to any of the other Registrants.
COVID-19. The Registrants have taken steps to mitigate the potential risks posed by the global outbreak (pandemic) of COVID-19. The Registrants provide a critical service to our customers which means that it is paramount that we keep our employees who operate our businesses safe and minimize unnecessary risk of exposure to the virus. The Registrants have taken extra precautions for our employees who work in the field and for employees who continue to work in our facilities. We have implemented work from home policies where appropriate, and imposed travel limitations on our employees. In addition, the Registrants have updated existing business continuity plans in the context of this pandemic.
The Registrants continue to implement strong physical and cyber-security measures to ensure that our systems remain functional in order to both serve our operational needs with a remote workforce and keep them running to ensure uninterrupted service to our customers.
There have been no changes in internal control over financial reporting to date in 2020 as a result of COVID-19 that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, any of the Registrants’ internal control over financial reporting. See Item 4. Controls and Procedures for additional information.
Unfavorable economic conditions due to COVID-19 have impacted the demand for electricity and natural gas at Generation and the Utility Registrants, which has resulted in a decrease in operating revenues.
As a result of COVID-19, Generation temporarily suspended interruption of service for all retail residential customers for non-payment and temporarily ceased new late payment fees for all retail customers from March to May of 2020. Starting in March of 2020, the Utility Registrants also temporarily suspended customer disconnections for non-payment and temporarily ceased new late payment fees for all customers and restored service to customers upon request who were disconnected in the last twelve months. See Note 2 – Regulatory Matters of the Combined Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information on such measures at the Utility Registrants. At Generation, such measures resulted in an increase in credit loss expense. ComEd and ACE recorded regulatory assets for the incremental credit loss expense based on existing mechanisms. BGE, PECO, Pepco, and DPL recorded regulatory assets in the third quarter of 2020 for substantially all the incremental credit loss expense, including the expense recorded in the second quarter of 2020. See Note 2 – Regulatory Matters of the Combined Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.
143




Table of Contents
Generation and the Utility Registrants have also incurred direct costs related to COVID-19 consisting primarily of costs to acquire personal protective equipment, costs for cleaning supplies and services, and costs to hire healthcare professionals to monitor the health of their employees. At Generation and PECO, such costs are recorded as Operating and maintenance expense and are excluded from Adjusted (non-GAAP) Operating Earnings. At ComEd, BGE, Pepco, DPL, and ACE, such costs are primarily recorded as regulatory assets. See Note 2 – Regulatory Matters of the Combined Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information. The regulatory assets recorded at BGE, Pepco, DPL, and ACE in the third quarter of 2020 include expense recorded in the second quarter of 2020.
The estimated impact to Generation’s Net income is approximately $45 million and $140 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, respectively. The estimated impact to the Utility Registrants’ Net income is approximately $15 million and $65 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, respectively.
In the fourth quarter of 2020, Generation estimates a decrease in Net income due to net reduction in load of $15 million to $25 million. Generation load forecasts are highly dependent on many factors including, but not limited to, the duration of remaining restrictions and the speed and strength of the economic recovery.
To offset the unfavorable impacts from COVID-19, the Registrants identified and are pursuing approximately $250 million in cost savings across Generation and the Utility Registrants. The cost savings for the year are expected to be higher than originally anticipated.
The Registrants rely on the capital markets for publicly offered debt as well as the commercial paper markets to meet their financial commitments and short-term liquidity needs. As a result of the disruptions in the commercial paper markets in March of 2020, Generation borrowed $1.5 billion on its revolving credit facility to refinance commercial paper, which Generation repaid on April 3, 2020. Generation also entered into two short-term loan agreements in March of 2020 for an aggregate of $500 million. On April 8, 2020, Generation received approximately $500 million in cash after entering into an accounts receivable financing arrangement. On April 24, 2020, Exelon Corporate entered into a credit agreement establishing a $550 million 364-day revolving credit facility to be used as an additional source of short-term liquidity. In addition, to date in 2020, the Registrants have issued long-term debt of $5.3 billion and have now completed their planned long-term debt issuances for the 2020 year. See Liquidity and Capital Resources, Note 12 - Debt and Credit Agreements, and Note 5 - Accounts Receivable of the Combined Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.
The Registrants assessed long-lived assets, goodwill, and investments for recoverability and there were no material impairment charges recorded to date in 2020 as a result of COVID-19. See Note 8 — Asset Impairments for additional information related to other impairment assessments in the third quarter of 2020. Certain assumptions are highly sensitive to changes. Changes in significant assumptions could potentially result in future impairments, which could be material.
This is an evolving situation that could lead to extended disruption of economic activity in our markets. The Registrants will continue to monitor developments affecting our workforce, our customers, and our suppliers and we will take additional precautions that we determine are necessary in order to mitigate the impacts. The extent to which COVID-19 may impact the Registrants’ ability to operate their generating and transmission and distribution assets, the ability to access capital markets, and results of operations, including demand for electricity and natural gas, will depend on the spread and proliferation of COVID-19 around the world and future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted at this time.

Three Months Ended September 30, 2020 Compared to Three Months Ended September 30, 2019. Net income attributable to common shareholders decreased by $271 million and diluted earnings per average common share decreased to $0.51 in 2020 from $0.79 in 2019 primarily due to:
Impairment of the New England asset group;
One-time charges and accelerated depreciation and amortization associated with Generation's decisions in the third quarter of 2020 to early retire Byron and Dresden nuclear facilities in 2021 and Mystic Units 8 and 9 in 2024, partially offset by the absence of accelerated depreciation and amortization due to the early retirement of TMI in September 2019;
Reduction in load due to COVID-19 at Generation;
COVID-19 direct costs; and
Higher storm costs related to the August 2020 storm at PECO, net of tax repairs, and at DPL.
The decreases were partially offset by:
Higher mark-to-market gains;
Higher net unrealized gains on NDT funds;
Lower operating and maintenance expense at Generation, primarily due to lower contracting and travel costs;
Higher capacity revenue;

Impairment of the New England asset group;
One-time charges and accelerated depreciation and amortization associated with Generation's decisions in the third quarter of 2020 to early retire Byron and Dresden nuclear facilities in 2021 and Mystic Units 8 and 9 in 2024, partially offset by the absence of accelerated depreciation and amortization due to the early retirement of TMI in September 2019;
Payments that ComEd will make under the Deferred Prosecution Agreement. See Note 14 - Commitments and Contingencies of the Combined Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information;
Lower net unrealized and realized gains on NDT funds;
Lower capacity revenue;
Higher nuclear outage days;
Reduction in load due to COVID-19 at Generation;
COVID-19 direct costs;
Lower allowed electric distribution ROE at ComEd due to a decrease in treasury rates;
Higher storm costs related to the June 2020 and August 2020 storms at PECO, net of tax repairs, and related to the August 2020 storm at DPL;
Unfavorable weather conditions at PECO, DPL Delaware, and ACE; and
A net increase in depreciation and amortization expense due to ongoing capital expenditures at PECO, BGE, Pepco, DPL, and ACE, partially offset at Generation due to the impact of extending the operating license at Peach Bottom.
The decreases were partially offset by:
Higher mark-to-market gains;
Lower operating and maintenance expense at Generation, primarily due to previous cost management programs, lower contracting costs, and lower travel costs;
Lower nuclear fuel costs;
The approval of the New Jersey ZEC program in the second quarter of 2019;
An income tax settlement at Generation; and

Regulatory rate increases at BGE, DPL, and ACE.
Adjusted (non-GAAP) Operating Earnings. In addition to net income, Exelon evaluates its operating performance using the measure of Adjusted (non-GAAP) operating earnings because management believes it represents earnings directly related to the ongoing operations of the business. Adjusted (non-GAAP) operating earnings exclude certain costs, expenses, gains and losses, and other specified items. This information is intended to enhance an investor’s overall understanding of year-to-year operating results and provide an indication of Exelon’s baseline operating performance excluding items that are considered by management to be not directly related to the ongoing operations of the business. In addition, this information is among the primary indicators management uses as a basis for evaluating performance, allocating resources, setting incentive compensation targets, and planning and forecasting of future periods. Adjusted (non-GAAP) operating earnings 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.

Note:
Amounts may not sum due to rounding.
Unless otherwise noted, the income tax impact of each reconciling item between GAAP Net Income and Adjusted (non-GAAP) Operating Earnings is based on the marginal statutory federal and state income tax rates for each Registrant, taking into account whether the income or expense item is taxable or deductible, respectively, in whole or in part. For all items except the unrealized gains and losses related to NDT fund investments, the marginal statutory income tax rates for 2020 and 2019 ranged from 26.0% to 29.0%. Under IRS regulations, NDT fund investment returns are taxed at different rates for investments if they are in qualified or non-qualified funds. The effective tax rates for the unrealized gains and losses related to NDT fund investments were 48.3% and 47.1% for the three months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. The effective tax rates for the unrealized gains and losses related to NDT fund investments were 134.1% and 48.1% for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

(a)Reflects the impact of net unrealized gains on Generation’s NDT fund investments for Non-Regulatory and Regulatory Agreement Units. The impacts of the Regulatory Agreement Units, including the associated income taxes, are contractually eliminated, resulting in no earnings impact.
(b)In 2020, primarily reflects an impairment in the New England asset group. In 2019, primarily reflects the impairment of equity method investments in certain distributed energy companies. The impact of such impairment net of noncontrolling interest is $0.02.
(c)In 2020, primarily reflects one-time charges and accelerated depreciation and amortization associated with Generation's decisions in the third quarter of 2020 to early retire Byron and Dresden nuclear facilities in 2021 and Mystic Units 8 and 9 in 2024. In 2019, primarily reflects accelerated depreciation and amortization expenses associated with the early retirement of the TMI nuclear facility and certain fossil sites, a charge associated with a remeasurement of the TMI ARO and the loss on sale of Oyster Creek to Holtec.
(d)Primarily represents reorganization and severance costs related to cost management programs.
(e)Represents direct costs related to COVID-19 consisting primarily of costs to acquire personal protective equipment, costs for cleaning supplies and services, and costs to hire healthcare professionals to monitor the health of employees.
(f)In 2019, reflects a benefit related to Generation's annual nuclear ARO update for non-regulatory units.
(g)Reflects costs related to the acquisition of EDF's interest in CENG.

Significant 2020 Transactions and Developments
Early Retirement of Generation Facilities
In August 2020, Generation announced that it intends to retire the Byron Generating Station in September 2021, Dresden Generating Station in November 2021, and Mystic Units 8 and 9 at the expiration of the cost of service commitment in May 2024. As a result, in the third quarter of 2020, Exelon and Generation recognized a $500 million impairment of its New England asset group and one-time non-cash charges for Byron, Dresden, and Mystic related to materials and supplies inventory reserve adjustments, employee-related costs, and construction work-in-progress impairments, among other items. In addition, there will be ongoing annual financial impacts stemming from shortening the expected economic useful lives of these facilities, primarily related to accelerated depreciation of plant assets (including any ARC) and accelerated amortization of nuclear fuel. Such ongoing charges are excluded from Adjusted (non-GAAP) Operating Earnings.
The following table summarizes the incremental expense recorded in the third quarter of 2020 and the estimated amounts of incremental expense expected to be incurred for full year 2020 and through the retirement dates.

(a)Actual results may differ based on incremental future capital additions, actual units of production for nuclear fuel amortization, future revised ARO assumptions, etc.
(b)Reflects incremental accelerated depreciation of plant assets, including any ARC.
(c)Reflects primarily the net impacts associated with the remeasurement of the ARO for Dresden. See Note 7 – Nuclear Decommissioning of the Combined Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.
(d)Reflects contractual offset for ARO accretion, ARC depreciation, and net impacts associated with the remeasurement of the ARO for Byron and Dresden. Based on the regulatory agreement with the ICC, decommissioning-related activities are offset within Exelon's and Generation's Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income. The offset results in an equal adjustment to the noncurrent payables to ComEd at Generation and an adjustment to the regulatory liabilities at ComEd. See Note 9 – Asset Retirement Obligations of the Exelon 2019 Form 10-K for additional information.

Deferred Prosecution Agreement
On July 17, 2020, ComEd entered into a Deferred Prosecution Agreement (DPA) with the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Northern District of Illinois (USAO) to resolve the USAO’s investigation into ComEd’s lobbying activities in the State of Illinois. Under the DPA, the USAO filed a single charge alleging that ComEd improperly gave and offered to give jobs, vendor subcontracts, and payments associated with those jobs and subcontracts for the benefit of the Speaker of the Illinois House of Representatives and the Speaker’s associates, with the intent to
149




Table of Contents
influence the Speaker’s action regarding legislation affecting ComEd’s interests. The DPA provides that the USAO will defer any prosecution of such charge and any other criminal or civil case against ComEd in connection with the matters identified therein for a three-year period subject to certain obligations of ComEd, including payment to the United States Treasury of $200 million, with $100 million payable within thirty days of the filing of the DPA with the United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois and an additional $100 million within ninety days of such filing date. The payments will not be recovered in rates or charged to customers, and ComEd will not seek or accept reimbursement or indemnification from any source other than Exelon. See Note 14 — Commitments and Contingencies for additional information.
Utility Rates and Base Rate Proceedings
The Utility Registrants file base rate cases with their regulatory commissions seeking increases or decreases to their electric transmission and distribution, and gas distribution rates to recover their costs and earn a fair return on their investments. The outcomes of these regulatory proceedings impact the Utility Registrants’ current and future financial statements.
The following tables show the Utility Registrants’ completed and pending distribution base rate case proceedings in 2020. See Note 2 — Regulatory Matters of the Combined Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information on these and other regulatory proceedings.

Transmission Formula Rates
Transmission Formula Rate (Exelon, ComEd, PECO, BGE, PHI, Pepco, DPL, and ACE). ComEd’s, PECO's, BGE’s, Pepco's, DPL's, and ACE's transmission rates are each established based on a FERC-approved formula. ComEd, BGE, Pepco, DPL, and ACE are required to file an annual update to the FERC-approved formula on or before May 15 and PECO is required to file on or before May 31, with the resulting rates effective on June 1 of the same year. The annual update for ComEd, BGE, DPL, and ACE is based on prior year actual costs and current year projected capital additions (initial year revenue requirement). The annual update for PECO is based on prior year actual costs and current year projected capital additions, accumulated depreciation, and accumulated deferred income taxes. The annual update for Pepco is based on prior year actual costs and current year projected capital additions, accumulated depreciation, depreciation and amortization expense and accumulated deferred income taxes. The update for ComEd, BGE, DPL, and ACE also reconciles any differences between the revenue requirement in effect beginning June 1 of the prior year and actual costs incurred for that year (annual reconciliation). The update for PECO and Pepco also reconciles any differences between the actual costs and actual revenues for the calendar year (annual reconciliation).
For 2020, the following total increases/(decreases) were included in ComEd’s, PECO's, BGE’s, Pepco's, DPL's, and ACE's electric transmission formula rate filings:

Sales of Customer Accounts Receivable
On April 8, 2020, NER, a bankruptcy remote, special purpose entity, which is wholly owned by Generation, entered into an accounts receivable financing facility with a number of financial institutions and a commercial paper conduit to sell certain customer accounts receivables. Generation received approximately $500 million of cash in accordance with the initial sale of approximately $1.2 billion receivables. See Note 5 — Accounts Receivable of the Combined Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.
Other Key Business Drivers and Management Strategies
The following discussion of other key business driver and management strategies includes current developments of previously disclosed matters and new issues arising during the period that may impact future financial statements.

Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations — Other Key Business Drivers and Management Strategies in the Registrants' combined 2019 Form 10-K and Note 14 — Commitments and Contingencies to the Consolidated Financial Statements in this report for additional information on various environmental matters.
Power Markets
Section 232 Uranium Petition
On January 16, 2018, two Canadian-owned uranium mining companies with operations in the U.S. jointly submitted a petition to the U.S. Department of Commerce ("DOC") seeking relief under Section 232 of the Trade Expansion Act of 1962 from imports of uranium products, alleging that these imports threaten national security.
The United States Nuclear Fuel Working Group ("Working Group") report was made public on April 23, 2020. The Working Group report states that nuclear power is intrinsically tied to national security, and promises that the U.S. government will take bold actions to strengthen all parts of the nuclear fuel industry in the U.S. It recommends the Agreement Suspending the Antidumping Investigation on Uranium from the Russian Federation (the “Russian Suspension Agreement” or "RSA") be extended and to consider reducing the amount of Russian imports of nuclear fuel. The Russian Suspension Agreement is the historical resolution of a 1991 DOC investigation that found that the Russians had been selling or “dumping” cheap uranium products into the U.S. The RSA has been amended several times in the intervening years to allow Russia to supply limited amounts of uranium products into the U.S.  It was set to expire at the end of 2020, but was amended on October 5, 2020 to extend for another 20 years.
The Working Group report should be viewed as policy recommendations that may be implemented by executive agencies, congress, and or regulatory bodies. Exelon and Generation cannot currently predict the outcome of all of the policy changes recommended by the Working Group.
Hedging Strategy
Exelon’s policy to hedge commodity risk on a ratable basis over three-year periods is intended to reduce the financial impact of market price volatility. Generation is exposed to commodity price risk associated with the unhedged portion of its electricity portfolio. Generation enters into non-derivative and derivative contracts, including financially-settled swaps, futures contracts and swap options, and physical options and physical forward contracts, all with credit-approved counterparties, to hedge this anticipated exposure. As of September 30, 2020, the percentage of expected generation hedged for the Mid-Atlantic, Midwest, New York, and ERCOT reportable segments is 97%-100% and 87%-90% for 2020 and 2021, respectively. Generation has been and will continue to be proactive in using hedging strategies to mitigate commodity price risk.
Generation procures 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. Approximately 60% of Generation’s uranium concentrate requirements from 2020 through 2024 are supplied by three suppliers. In the event of non-performance by these or other suppliers, Generation believes that replacement uranium concentrate can be obtained, although at prices that
152

may be unfavorable when compared to the prices under the current supply agreements. Non-performance by these counterparties could have a material adverse impact on Exelon’s and Generation’s results of operations, cash flows and financial positions.
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.
The Utility Registrants mitigate commodity price risk through regulatory mechanisms that allow them to recover procurement costs from retail customers.
Environmental Legislative and Regulatory Developments
Air Quality
Mercury and Air Toxics Standards Rule (MATS). On December 16, 2011, the EPA signed a final rule, known as MATS, to reduce emissions of hazardous air pollutants from 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. In April 2014, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit issued a decision upholding MATS in its entirety. On appeal, the U.S. Supreme Court decided in June 2015 that the EPA unreasonably refused to consider costs in determining whether it is appropriate and necessary to regulate power plant emissions of hazardous air pollutants, but did not vacate MATS. In 2016, the EPA issued a supplemental finding responding to the U.S. Supreme Court’s decision; the EPA concluded that, after considering costs, it remained appropriate and necessary to regulate hazardous air pollutants from power plants. On May 22, 2020, however, the EPA reversed course, publishing a final rule revoking the "appropriate and necessary" finding underpinning MATS. A coal mining company filed a lawsuit in the D.C. Circuit Court seeking vacatur of MATS based on EPA’s May 22, 2020 ruling. On September 11, 2020, the court granted a motion by Exelon and two other entities to intervene in that lawsuit to defend MATS, and on September 28, 2020, the court issued an order holding this portion of MATS litigation in abeyance. On July 21, 2020, Exelon and two other entities filed a lawsuit in the D.C. Circuit Court challenging the EPA’s May 22, 2020 rescission of the appropriate and necessary finding underpinning MATS; litigation on this portion of the case is ongoing.
The Clean Power Plan and Affordable Clean Energy Rule. The EPA’s 2015 Clean Power Plan (CPP) established regulations addressing carbon dioxide emissions from existing fossil-fired power plants under Clean Air Act Section 111(d). The CPP’s carbon pollution limits could be met through changes to the electric generation system, including shifting generation from higher-emitting units to lower- or zero-emitting units, as well as the development of new or expanded zero-emissions generation. In July 2019, the EPA published its final Affordable Clean Energy rule, which repealed the CPP and replaced it with less stringent emissions guidelines for existing coal-fired power plants based on heat rate improvement measures that could be achieved within the fence line of individual plants. Exelon, together with a coalition of other electric utilities, filed a lawsuit in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit on September 6, 2019, challenging the Affordable Clean Energy rule as unlawful. This lawsuit has been consolidated with separate challenges to the Affordable Clean Energy rule filed by various states, non-governmental organizations, and business coalitions.

Nine Months Ended September 30, 2020 Compared to Nine Months Ended September 30, 2019. Net income decreased $240 million as compared to the same period in 2019, primarily due to payments that ComEd will make under the Deferred Prosecution Agreement, an impairment charge resulting from acquisition of transmission assets, and lower allowed electric distribution ROE due to a decrease in treasury rates, partially offset by higher electric distribution formula rate earnings (reflecting the impacts of higher rate base). See Note 14 — Commitments and Contingencies of the Combined Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information related to the Deferred Prosecution Agreement.

Revenue Decoupling. The demand for electricity is affected by weather conditions and customer usage. Operating revenues are not impacted by abnormal weather, usage per customer or number of customers as a result of the electric distribution formula rate pursuant to FEJA.
Distribution Revenue. EIMA and FEJA provide for a performance-based formula rate, which requires an annual reconciliation of the revenue requirement in effect to the actual costs that the ICC determines are prudently and reasonably incurred in a given year. Electric distribution revenue varies from year to year based upon fluctuations in the underlying costs, (e.g., severe weather and storm restoration), investments being recovered, and allowed ROE. Electric distribution revenue increased for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 as

ComEd
compared to the same period in 2019, due to the impact of higher rate base and higher fully recoverable costs, offset by lower allowed ROE due to a decrease in treasury rates. See Note 2 — Regulatory Matters of the Combined Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.
Transmission Revenue. Under a FERC-approved formula, transmission revenue varies from year to year based upon fluctuations in the underlying costs, capital investments being recovered, and the highest daily peak load, which is updated annually in January based on the prior calendar year. Generally, increases/decreases in the highest daily peak load will result in higher/lower transmission revenue. Transmission revenue increased for the three months ended September 30, 2020 compared to the same period in 2019, primarily due to increased peak load and higher fully recoverable costs. Transmission revenue decreased for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 compared to the same period in 2019, primarily due to the impact of decreased peak load partially offset by higher fully recoverable costs. See Note 2 — Regulatory Matters of the Combined Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.
Energy Efficiency Revenue. FEJA provides for a performance-based formula rate, which requires an annual reconciliation of the revenue requirement in effect to the actual costs that the ICC determines are prudently and reasonably incurred in a given year. Under FEJA, energy efficiency revenue varies from year to year based upon fluctuations in the underlying costs, investments being recovered, and allowed ROE. Energy efficiency revenue increased during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 as compared to the same period in 2019, primarily due to increased regulatory asset amortization which is fully recoverable. See Depreciation and amortization expense discussions below and Note 2 — Regulatory Matters of the Combined Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.
Other Revenue primarily includes assistance provided to other utilities through mutual assistance programs. The increase in Other revenue for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 as compared to the same period in 2019, primarily reflects mutual assistance revenues associated with storm restoration efforts.
Regulatory Required Programs represents revenues collected under approved riders to recover costs incurred for regulatory programs such as recoveries under the credit loss expense tariff, environmental costs associated with MGP sites, and costs related to electricity, ZEC and REC procurement. The riders are designed to provide full and current cost recovery. The costs of these programs are included in Purchased power and fuel expense, Operating and maintenance expense, Depreciation and amortization expense and Taxes other than income. Customers have the choice to purchase electricity from competitive electric generation suppliers. Customer choice programs do not impact the volume of deliveries but impact Operating revenues related to supplied electricity. Drivers of Operating revenues related to electricity, ZEC and REC procurement costs, and participation in customer choice programs are fully offset by their impact on Purchased power and fuel expense. ComEd recovers electricity, ZEC, and REC procurement costs from customers without mark-up.
See Note 4 — Segment Information of the Combined Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for the presentation of ComEd's revenue disaggregation.
The increase of $29 million and $88 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 compared to the same period in 2019, respectively, in Purchased power expense is offset in Operating revenues as part of regulatory required programs.

Weather. The demand for electricity and natural gas is affected by weather conditions. With respect to the electric business, very warm weather in summer months and, with respect to the electric and natural gas businesses, very cold weather in winter months are referred to as “favorable weather conditions” because these weather conditions result in increased deliveries of electricity and natural gas. Conversely, mild weather reduces demand. During the three months ended September 30, 2020 compared to the same period in 2019, Operating revenues related to weather increased by the impact of favorable weather conditions in PECO's service territory. During the nine months ended September 30, 2020 compared to the same period in 2019, Operating revenues related to weather decreased by the impact of unfavorable weather conditions in PECO's service territory.

Pricing for the three months ended September 30, 2020 compared to the same period in 2019 decreased primarily due to lower overall effective rates due to increased usage across all major customer classes. Pricing for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 compared to the same period in 2019 remained relatively consistent.
Transmission Revenue. Under a FERC approved formula, transmission revenue varies from year to year based upon fluctuations in the underlying costs and capital investments being recovered. PECO's transmission formula rate filing was approved in the fourth quarter of 2019.
Regulatory Required Programs represents revenues collected under approved riders to recover costs incurred for regulatory programs such as energy efficiency, PGC, and the GSA. The riders are designed to provide full and current cost recovery as well as a return. The costs of these programs are included in Purchased power and fuel expense, Operating and maintenance expense, Depreciation and amortization expense, and Income taxes. Customers have the choice to purchase electricity and natural gas from competitive electric generation and natural gas suppliers. Customer choice programs do not impact the volume of deliveries but impact Operating revenues related to supplied electricity and natural gas. Drivers of Operating revenues related to commodity and REC procurement costs and participation in customer choice programs are fully offset by their impact on Purchased power and fuel expense. PECO recovers electricity, natural gas, and REC procurement costs from customers without mark-up.
Other revenue primarily includes revenue related to late payment charges. Other revenues for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 compared to the same period in 2019, decreased as PECO ceased new late fees for all customers and restored service to customers upon request who were disconnected in the last twelve months beginning March of 2020.
See Note 4 — Segment Information of the Combined Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for the presentation of PECO's revenue disaggregation.
The increase of $23 million and $1 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 compared to the same period in 2019, respectively, in Purchased power and fuel expense is fully offset in Operating revenues as part of regulatory required programs.

Revenue Decoupling. The demand for electricity and natural gas is affected by weather and customer usage. However, Operating revenues are not impacted by abnormal weather or usage per customer as a result of a bill stabilization adjustment (BSA) that provides for a fixed distribution charge per customer by customer class. While Operating revenues are not impacted by abnormal weather or usage per customer, they are impacted by changes in the number of customers.

Distribution Revenue increased for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, compared to the same period in 2019, primarily due to the impact of higher natural gas and electric distribution rates that became effective in December 2019. See Note 2 — Regulatory Matters of the Combined Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.
Transmission Revenue. Under a FERC approved formula, transmission revenue varies from year to year based upon fluctuations in the underlying costs, capital investments being recovered, and the highest daily peak load, which is updated annually in January based on the prior calendar year. Generally, increases/decreases in the highest daily peak load will result in higher/lower transmission revenue. Transmission revenue remained relatively consistent for the three months ended September 30, 2020, compared to the same period in 2019, and decreased for the nine months ended September 30, 2020, compared to the same period in 2019, primarily due to the settlement agreement of ongoing transmission-related income tax regulatory liabilities. See Note 2 — Regulatory Matters of the Combined Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.
Other revenue includes revenue related to mutual assistance, administrative charges, off-system sales, and late payment charges. Other revenues decreased for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, compared to the same period in 2019, as BGE temporarily suspended customer disconnections for non-payment and temporarily ceased new late fees for all customers and restored service to customers upon request who were disconnected in the last twelve months.
Regulatory Required Programs represent revenues collected under approved riders to recover costs incurred for regulatory programs such as conservation, demand response, STRIDE, and the POLR mechanism. The riders are designed to provide full and current cost recovery, as well as a return in certain instances. The costs of these programs are included in Purchased power and fuel expense, Operating and maintenance expense, Depreciation and amortization expense, and Taxes other than income taxes. Customers have the choice to purchase electricity and natural gas from competitive electric generation and natural gas suppliers. Customer choice programs do not impact the volume of deliveries but impact Operating revenues related to supplied electricity and natural gas. Drivers of Operating revenues related to commodity procurement costs and participation in customer choice programs are fully offset by their impact on Purchased power and fuel expense. BGE recovers electricity, natural gas, and procurement costs from customers with a slight mark-up.
See Note 4 — Segment Information of the Combined Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements for the presentation of BGE's revenue disaggregation.
The increase of $15 million and decrease of $73 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 compared to the same period in 2019, respectively, in Purchased power and fuel expense is fully offset in Operating revenues as part of regulatory required programs.

Three Months Ended September 30, 2020 Compared to Three Months Ended September 30, 2019. Net income decreased by $6 million primarily due to an increase in storm costs related to the August 2020 storms in Delaware, partially offset by higher electric distribution rates.
Nine Months Ended September 30, 2020 Compared to Nine Months Ended September 30, 2019. Net income decreased by $25 million primarily due to an increase in storm costs related to the August 2020 storms in Delaware, an increase in depreciation and amortization, an increase in credit loss expense primarily as a result of suspending customer disconnections offset by the regulatory asset recorded in the third quarter of 2020 related to incremental credit loss expense due to COVID-19, and unfavorable weather conditions in DPL's Delaware service territory, partially offset by higher electric distribution rates.

Revenue Decoupling. The demand for electricity is affected by weather and customer usage. However, Operating revenues from electric distribution in Maryland are not impacted by abnormal weather or usage per customer as a result of a bill stabilization adjustment (BSA) that provides for a fixed distribution charge per customer by customer class. While Operating revenues from electric distribution customers in Maryland are not impacted by abnormal weather or usage per customer, they are impacted by changes in the number of customers.

Weather. The demand for electricity and natural gas in Delaware is affected by weather conditions. With respect to the electric business, very warm weather in summer months and, with respect to the electric and natural gas businesses, very cold weather in winter months are referred to as "favorable weather conditions” because these weather conditions result in increased deliveries of electricity and natural gas. Conversely, mild weather reduces demand. During the nine months ended September 30, 2020 compared to the same period in 2019, Operating revenues related to weather decreased due to the impact of unfavorable weather conditions in DPL's Delaware service territory.
Heating and cooling degree days are quantitative indices that reflect the demand for energy needed to heat or cool a home or business. Normal weather is determined based on historical average heating and cooling degree days for a 20-year period in DPL's Delaware electric service territory and a 30-year period in DPL's Delaware natural gas service territory. The changes in heating and cooling degree days in DPL’s Delaware service territory for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 compared to same period in 2019 and normal weather consisted of the following:

Distribution Revenue increased for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 compared to the same period in 2019 primarily due to higher electric distribution rates in Maryland that became effective in July 2020 and the Distribution System Improvement Charge (DSIC) fully implemented in the first quarter of 2020.
Transmission Revenues. Under a FERC approved formula, transmission revenue varies from year to year based upon fluctuations in the underlying costs, capital investments being recovered, and the highest daily peak load, which is updated annually in January based on the prior calendar years. Generally, increases/decreases in the highest daily peak load will result in higher/lower transmission revenue. Transmission revenue decreased for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 compared to the same period in 2019 primarily due to the settlement agreement of ongoing transmission-related income tax regulatory liabilities. See Note 2 — Regulatory Matters of the Combined Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.
Other revenue includes rental revenue, revenue related to late payment charges, mutual assistance revenues, and recoveries of other taxes.
Regulatory Required Programs represent revenues collected under approved riders to recover costs incurred for regulatory programs such as energy efficiency programs, DE Renewable Portfolio Standards, SOS procurement and administrative costs, and GCR costs. The riders are designed to provide full and current cost recovery as well as a return in certain instances. The costs of these programs are included in Purchased power and fuel expense, Operating and maintenance expense, Depreciation and amortization expense, and Taxes other than income taxes. Customers have the choice to purchase electricity from competitive electric generation suppliers. Customer choice programs do not impact the volume of deliveries, but impact Operating revenues related to supplied electricity. Drivers of Operating revenues related to commodity and REC procurement costs and participation in customer choice programs are fully offset by their impact on Purchased power expense. DPL recovers electricity and REC procurement costs from customers with a slight mark-up and natural gas costs from customers without mark-up.

Weather. The demand for electricity is affected by weather conditions. With respect to the electric business, very warm weather in summer months and very cold weather in winter months are referred to as “favorable weather conditions” because these weather conditions result in increased deliveries of electricity. Conversely, mild weather reduces demand. There was a decrease related to weather for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 compared to same period in 2019 due to the impact of unfavorable weather conditions in ACE's service territory.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
All results included throughout the liquidity and capital resources section are presented on a GAAP basis.
The Registrants’ 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. The Registrants’ businesses are capital intensive and require considerable capital resources. Each of the Registrants annually evaluates its financing plan, dividend practices, and credit line sizing, focusing on maintaining its investment grade ratings while meeting its cash needs to fund capital requirements, 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 its 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.). Each Registrant’s access to external financing on reasonable terms depends on its credit ratings and current overall capital market business conditions, including that of the utility industry in general. If these conditions deteriorate to the extent that the Registrants no longer have access to the capital markets at reasonable terms, the Registrants have access to credit facilities with aggregate bank commitments of $10.6 billion. As a result of disruptions in the commercial paper markets due to COVID-19 in March of 2020, Generation borrowed $1.5 billion on its revolving credit facility to refinance commercial paper. Generation repaid the $1.5 billion borrowed on the revolving credit facility on April 3, 2020 using funds from short-term loans issued in March 2020, cash proceeds from the sale of certain customer accounts receivable, and borrowings from the Exelon intercompany money pool. See Note 5 - Accounts Receivable of the Combined Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information on the sale of customer accounts receivable. Exelon Corporate, Generation, and the Utility Registrants continued to issue commercial paper during the third quarter of 2020. See Executive Overview for additional information on COVID-19. The Registrants continue to utilize their credit facilities to support their commercial paper programs, provide for other short-term borrowings and to issue letters of credit. See the “Credit Matters” section below for additional information. The Registrants expect cash flows to be sufficient to meet operating expenses, financing costs and capital expenditure requirements.
The Registrants primarily use their capital resources, including cash, to fund capital requirements, including construction expenditures, retire debt, pay dividends, fund pension and other postretirement benefit obligations, and invest in new and existing ventures. The Registrants spend a significant amount of cash on capital improvements and construction projects that have a long-term return on investment. Additionally, the Utility Registrants operate in rate-regulated environments in which the amount of new investment recovery may be delayed or limited and where such recovery takes place over an extended period of time. See Note 12 — Debt and Credit Agreements of the Combined Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information on the Registrants’ debt and credit agreements.
Despite disruptions in the financial markets due to COVID-19, the Registrants have been able to fund their liquidity needs to date. As of December 31, 2019, Exelon had approximately $4.0 billion of long-term debt that matures in 2020, excluding project financings and floating rate long-term debt. Of this, as of September 30, 2020, Exelon has redeemed or refinanced approximately $3.4 billion that is maturing in 2020. The remaining amount of $0.6 billion on Exelon’s and Generation’s Consolidated Balance Sheet was redeemed on October 2, 2020. To date in 2020, the Registrants have been able to execute their expected debt issuances and have issued long-term debt of $5.3 billion, of which $4.1 billion was issued in the period of April to October of 2020. The Registrants accelerated the timing of a number of planned debt issuances resulting in the $4.1 billion issued in the period of April to October of 2020 and the Registrants have now completed their planned long-term debt issuances for the 2020 year.
NRC Minimum Funding Requirements (Exelon and Generation)
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 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 letters of credit or parent company guarantees or making additional cash contributions to the NDT fund to ensure sufficient funds
184




Table of Contents
are available. See Note 7 — Nuclear Decommissioning of the Combined Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.
If a nuclear plant were to early retire 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 Generation address the shortfall by, among other things, obtaining a parental guarantee for Generation’s share of the funding assurance. However, the amount of any guarantees or other assurance will ultimately depend on the decommissioning approach, the associated level of costs, and the NDT fund investment performance going forward. Within two years after shutting down a plant, Generation must submit a PSDAR to the NRC that includes the planned option for decommissioning the site. Upon retirement, Dresden will have adequate funding assurance, however, due to the earlier commencement of decommissioning activities and a shorter time period over which the NDT fund investments could appreciate in value, Byron may no longer meet the NRC minimum funding requirements and, as a result, the NRC may require additional financial assurance including possibly a parental guarantee from Exelon. Considering the different approaches to decommissioning available to Generation, the most likely estimates currently anticipated could require financial assurance for radiological decommissioning at Byron of up to $275 million.
Upon issuance of any required financial guarantees, 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 Generation to utilize the NDT funds to pay for non-radiological decommissioning costs (i.e. spent fuel management and site restoration costs, if applicable). If a unit does not receive this exemption, those costs would be borne by Generation without reimbursement from or access to the NDT funds. Accordingly, based on current projections of the most likely decommissioning approach, it is expected that Dresden would not require supplemental cash from Generation, but some portion of the Byron spent fuel management costs would need to be funded through supplemental cash from Generation. While the ultimate amounts may vary and could be offset by reimbursement of certain spent fuel management costs under the DOE settlement agreement, decommissioning for Byron may require supplemental cash from Generation of up to $180 million, net of taxes, over a period of 10 years after permanent shutdown.
As of September 30, 2020, Exelon would not be required to post a parental guarantee for TMI Unit 1 under the SAFSTOR scenario which is the planned decommissioning option as described in the TMI Unit 1 PSDAR filed by Generation with the NRC on April 5, 2019. On October 16, 2019, the NRC granted Generation's exemption request to use the TMI Unit 1 NDT funds for spent fuel management costs. An additional exemption request would be required to allow the funds to be spent on site restoration costs, which are not expected to be incurred in the near term.
Project Financing (Exelon and Generation)
Project financing is used to help mitigate risk of specific generating assets. Project financing is based upon a nonrecourse financial structure, in which project debt is paid back from the cash generated by the specific asset or portfolio of assets. Borrowings under these agreements are secured by the assets and equity of each respective project. The lenders do not have recourse against Exelon or Generation in the event of a default. If a specific project financing entity does not maintain compliance with its specific debt financing 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 was 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 satisfy its associated 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. Additionally, project finance has credit facilities. See Note 12 — Debt and Credit Agreements of the Combined Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information on nonrecourse debt. Refer to Note 16 — Debt and Credit Agreements of the Exelon 2019 Form 10-K for additional information on credit facilities.

Generation’s cash flows from operating activities primarily result from the sale of electric energy and energy-related products and services to customers. Generation’s future cash flows from operating activities may be affected by future demand for and market prices of energy and its 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.
The Utility Registrants' cash flows from operating activities primarily result from the transmission and distribution of electricity and, in the case of PECO, BGE, and DPL, gas distribution services. The Utility Registrants' distribution services are provided to an established and diverse base of retail customers. The Utility Registrants' future cash flows may be affected by the economy, weather conditions, future legislative initiatives, future regulatory proceedings with respect to their rates or operations, and their ability to achieve operating cost reductions.
See Note 3 — Regulatory Matters and Note 18 — Commitments and Contingencies of the Combined Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements of the Exelon 2019 Form 10-K for additional information of regulatory and legal proceedings and proposed legislation.

Credit Matters (All Registrants)
The Registrants fund liquidity needs for capital investment, 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. The credit facilities include $10.6 billion in aggregate total commitments of which $8.5 billion was available to support additional commercial paper as of September 30, 2020, and of which no financial institution has more than 7% of the aggregate commitments for the Registrants. The Registrants had access to the commercial paper markets and had availability under their revolving credit facilities during the third quarter of 2020 to fund their short-term liquidity needs. The Registrants routinely review the sufficiency of their 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. The Registrants have continued to 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.

Table of Contents
ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS of the Exelon 2019 Form 10-K for additional information regarding the effects of uncertainty in the capital and credit markets.
The Registrants believe their cash flow from operating activities, access to credit markets, and their credit facilities provide sufficient liquidity. If Generation lost its investment grade credit rating as of September 30, 2020, it would have been required to provide incremental collateral of $1.3 billion to meet collateral obligations for derivatives, non-derivatives, normal purchases and normal sales contracts, and applicable payables and receivables, net of the contractual right of offset under master netting agreements, which is well within the $4.9 billion of available credit capacity of its revolver.
The following table presents the incremental collateral that each Utility Registrant would have been required to provide in the event each Utility Registrant lost its investment grade credit rating at September 30, 2020 and available credit facility capacity prior to any incremental collateral at September 30, 2020:

_________
(a)Represents incremental collateral related to natural gas procurement contracts.
Exelon Credit Facilities
Exelon Corporate, ComEd, and BGE meet their short-term liquidity requirements primarily through the issuance of commercial paper. Generation and PECO meet their short-term liquidity requirements primarily through the issuance of commercial paper and borrowings from the Exelon intercompany money pool. Pepco, DPL, and ACE meet their short-term liquidity requirements primarily through the issuance of commercial paper and borrowings from the PHI intercompany money pool. PHI Corporate meets its short-term liquidity requirements primarily through the issuance of short-term notes and the Exelon intercompany money pool. The Registrants may use their respective 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 the Registrants’ short-term borrowing activity. See Note 16 — Debt and Credit Agreements of the Exelon 2019 Form 10-K for additional information on the Registrants’ credit facilities.
Security Ratings
The Registrants’ access to the capital markets, including the commercial paper market, and their respective financing costs in those markets, may depend on the securities ratings of the entity that is accessing the capital markets.
The Registrants’ borrowings are not subject to default or prepayment as a result of a downgrading of securities, although such a downgrading of a Registrant’s securities could increase fees and interest charges under that Registrant’s credit agreements.
As part of the normal course of business, the Registrants enter into contracts that contain express provisions or otherwise permit the Registrants and their 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 the Registrants 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 collateral. See Note 11 — Derivative Financial Instruments of the Combined Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information on collateral provisions.

The credit ratings for Exelon Corporate, Generation, PECO, BGE, PHI, Pepco, DPL, and ACE did not change for the nine months ended September 30, 2020. On July 21, 2020, S&P lowered ComEd's long-term issuer credit rating from 'A-' to a 'BBB+'. S&P also affirmed the current 'A' rating on ComEd's senior secured debt and 'A-2' short-term rating, which influences long and short-term borrowing cost.
Intercompany Money Pool
To provide an additional short-term borrowing option that will generally be more favorable to the borrowing participants than the cost of external financing, both Exelon and PHI operate an intercompany money pool. Maximum amounts contributed to and borrowed from the money pool by participant and the net contribution or borrowing as of September 30, 2020, are presented in the following table:

Shelf Registration Statements
Exelon, Generation, ComEd, PECO, BGE, Pepco, DPL, and ACE have a currently effective combined shelf registration statement unlimited in amount, filed with the SEC, that will expire in August 2022. The ability of each Registrant to sell securities off the shelf registration statement or to access the private placement markets will depend on a number of factors at the time of the proposed sale, including other required regulatory approvals, as applicable, the current financial condition of the Registrant, its securities ratings and market conditions.

Contractual Obligations and Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
Contractual obligations represent cash obligations that are considered to be firm commitments and commercial commitments triggered by future events. See Note 18 — Commitments and Contingencies of the Combined Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the Exelon 2019 Form 10-K.
Generation, ComEd, PECO, BGE, Pepco, DPL, and ACE have obligations related to contracts for the purchase of power and fuel supplies, and ComEd and PECO have obligations related to their financing trusts. The power and fuel purchase contracts and the financing trusts have been considered for consolidation in the Registrants’ respective financial statements pursuant to the authoritative guidance for VIEs. See Note 1 — Significant Accounting Policies of the Combined Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the Exelon 2019 Form 10-K for additional information.
For an in-depth discussion of the Registrants' contractual obligations and off-balance sheet arrangements, see “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations — Contractual Obligations and Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements” in the Exelon 2019 Form 10-K. In addition, see discussion of off-balance sheet arrangement discussed below.
Sales of Customer Accounts Receivable
On April 8, 2020, Generation entered into an accounts receivable financing facility with a number of financial institutions and a commercial paper conduit to sell certain receivables, which expires on April 7, 2021 unless renewed by the mutual consent of the parties in accordance with its terms. The facility allows Generation to obtain financing at lower cost and diversify its sources of liquidity. See Note 5 — Accounts Receivable of the Combined Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.

Item 3.    Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
The Registrants are exposed to market risks associated with adverse changes in commodity prices, counterparty credit, interest rates and equity prices. Exelon’s RMC approves risk management policies and objectives for risk assessment, control and valuation, counterparty credit approval, and the monitoring and reporting of risk exposures. The RMC is chaired by the chief executive officer and includes the chief risk officer, chief strategy officer, chief executive officer of Exelon Utilities, chief commercial officer, chief financial officer and chief executive officer of Constellation. The RMC reports to the Finance and Risk Committee of the Exelon Board of Directors on the scope of the risk management activities. The following discussion serves as an update to ITEM 7A. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK of Exelon’s 2019 Annual Report on Form 10-K incorporated herein by reference.
Commodity Price Risk (All Registrants)
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 Exelon generates and purchases differs from the amount of energy it has contracted to sell, Exelon is exposed to market fluctuations in commodity prices. Exelon seeks to mitigate its commodity price risk through the sale and purchase of electricity, fossil fuel and other commodities.
Generation
Electricity available from Generation’s owned or contracted generation supply in excess of Generation’s obligations to customers, including portions of the Utility Registrants' retail load, is sold into the wholesale markets. To reduce commodity price risk caused by market fluctuations, Generation enters into non-derivative contracts as well as derivative contracts, including swaps, futures, forwards and options, with approved counterparties to hedge anticipated exposures. Generation uses derivative instruments as economic hedges to mitigate exposure to fluctuations in commodity prices. Generation expects the settlement of the majority of its economic hedges will occur during 2020 through 2022.
As of September 30, 2020, the percentage of expected generation hedged for the Mid-Atlantic, Midwest, New York, and ERCOT reportable segments is 97%-100% and 87%-90% for 2020 and 2021, respectively. Market price risk exposure is the risk of a change in the value of unhedged positions. The forecasted market price risk exposure for Generation’s entire economic hedge portfolio associated with a $5 reduction in the annual average around-the-clock energy price based on September 30, 2020 market conditions and hedged position would be a decrease in pre-tax net income of approximately $14 million and $99 million, respectively, for 2020 and 2021. See Note 11 — Derivative Financial Instruments of the Combined Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.
Fuel Procurement
Approximately 60% of Generation’s uranium concentrate requirements from 2020 through 2024 are supplied by three suppliers. In the event of non-performance by these or other suppliers, Generation believes that replacement uranium concentrates can be obtained, although at prices that may be unfavorable when compared to the prices under the current supply agreements. Non-performance by these counterparties could have a material adverse impact on Exelon’s and Generation’s financial statements.
Utility Registrants
There have been no significant changes or additions to the Utility Registrants exposures to commodity price risk that were described in ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS of Exelon’s 2019 Annual Report on Form 10-K. See Note 11 — Derivative Financial Instruments of the Combined Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information regarding commodity price risk exposure.
Trading and Non-Trading Marketing Activities
The following table detailing Exelon’s, Generation’s, and ComEd’s trading and non-trading marketing activities are included to address the recommended disclosures by the energy industry’s Committee of Chief Risk Officers (CCRO).

Fair Values
The following tables present maturity and source of fair value for Exelon, Generation, and ComEd mark-to-market commodity contract net assets (liabilities). The tables provide two fundamental pieces of information. First, the tables provide the source of fair value used in determining the carrying amount of the Registrants’ total mark-to-market net assets (liabilities), net of allocated collateral. Second, the tables show the maturity, by year, of the Registrants’ commodity contract net assets (liabilities), net of allocated collateral, giving an indication of when these mark-to-market amounts will settle and either generate or require cash. See Note 13 — Fair Value of Financial Assets and Liabilities of the Combined Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information regarding fair value measurements and the fair value hierarchy.

Credit-Risk-Related Contingent Features (All Registrants)

Table of Contents
Generation
As part of the normal course of business, Generation routinely enters 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 Generation is 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 Generation’s 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. See 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.
Generation transacts 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 Exelon’s and Generation’s financial statements. As market prices rise above or fall below contracted price levels, Generation is required to post collateral with purchasers; as market prices fall below contracted price levels, counterparties are required to post collateral with Generation. To post collateral, Generation depends on access to bank credit facilities, which serve as liquidity sources to fund collateral requirements. See Note 16 — Debt and Credit Agreements of Exelon’s 2019 Annual Report on Form 10-K for additional information.
Utility Registrants
As of September 30, 2020, the Utility Registrants were not required to post collateral under their energy and/or natural gas procurement contracts. See Note 11 — Derivative Financial Instruments of the Combined Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.
Interest Rate and Foreign Exchange Risk (Exelon and Generation)
Exelon and Generation use a combination of fixed-rate and variable-rate debt to manage interest rate exposure. Exelon and Generation may also utilize interest rate swaps to manage their interest rate exposure. A hypothetical 50 basis points increase in the interest rates associated with unhedged variable-rate debt (excluding commercial paper) and fixed-to-floating swaps would result in approximately a $4 million decrease in Exelon pre-tax income for the nine months ended September 30, 2020. To manage foreign exchange rate exposure associated with international energy purchases in currencies other than U.S. dollars, Generation utilizes 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 (Exelon and Generation)
Exelon and Generation maintain trust funds, as required by the NRC, to fund certain costs of decommissioning its nuclear plants. As of September 30, 2020, Generation’s NDT funds are reflected at fair value in its 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 Generation 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. Generation actively monitors the investment performance of the trust funds and periodically reviews asset allocation in accordance with Generation’s NDT fund investment policy. A hypothetical 25 basis points increase in interest rates and 10% decrease in equity prices would result in a $754 million reduction in the fair value of the trust assets. 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 third quarter of 2020, each of the Registrants' management, including its principal executive officer and principal financial officer, evaluated its disclosure controls and procedures related to the recording, processing, summarizing, and reporting of information in its periodic reports that it files with the SEC. These
197




Table of Contents
disclosure controls and procedures have been designed by the Registrants to ensure that (a) material information relating to that Registrant, including its consolidated subsidiaries, is accumulated and made known to Exelon’s management, including its principal executive officer and principal financial officer, by other employees of that Registrant and its subsidiaries 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 September 30, 2020, the principal executive officer and principal financial officer of each of the Registrants concluded that such Registrant’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective to accomplish its objectives. The Registrants continually strive to improve their disclosure controls and procedures to enhance the quality of its financial reporting and to maintain dynamic systems that change as conditions warrant. There were no changes in internal control over financial reporting during the third quarter of 2020 that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, any of the Registrants' internal control over financial reporting, including no changes resulting from COVID-19. See Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Executive Overview for additional information on COVID-19.
PART II — OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1.    Legal Proceedings
The Registrants are parties to various lawsuits and regulatory proceedings in the ordinary course of their respective businesses. For information regarding material lawsuits and proceedings, see (a) ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS of Exelon’s 2019 Form 10-K and (b) Notes 2 — Regulatory Matters and 14 — Commitments and Contingencies of the Combined Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in PART I, ITEM 1. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS of this Report. Such descriptions are incorporated herein by these references.
Item 1A.    Risk Factors
Risks Related to Exelon
At September 30, 2020, the Registrants' risk factors were consistent with the risk factors described in the Registrants' combined 2019 Form 10-K in ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS, except for the following risk factors, which were added.
Our Results Could be Negatively Affected by the Impacts of COVID-19 (All Registrants).
The Registrants have taken steps to mitigate the potential risks posed by COVID-19. This is an evolving situation that could lead to extended disruption of economic activity in the Registrants’ respective markets. COVID-19 could negatively affect the Registrants’ ability to operate their respective generating and transmission and distribution assets, their ability to access capital markets, and results of operations. The Registrants cannot predict the extent of the impacts of COVID-19, which will depend on future developments and which are highly uncertain at this time. See Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Executive Overview for additional information on COVID-19.
Exelon and ComEd have received requests for information related to an SEC investigation into their lobbying activities. The outcome of the investigation could have a material adverse effect on their reputation and consolidated financial statements (Exelon and ComEd).
On October 22, 2019, the SEC notified Exelon and ComEd that it had opened an investigation into their lobbying activities in the State of Illinois. Exelon and ComEd have cooperated fully, including by providing all information requested by the SEC, and intend to continue to cooperate fully and expeditiously with the SEC. The outcome of the SEC’s investigation cannot be predicted and could subject Exelon and ComEd to criminal or civil penalties, sanctions, or other remedial measures.  Any of the foregoing, as well as the appearance of non-compliance with anti-corruption and anti-bribery laws, could have an adverse impact on Exelon’s and ComEd’s reputations or relationships with regulatory and legislative authorities, customers, and other stakeholders, as well as their consolidated financial statements. See Note 14 — Commitments and Contingencies of the Combined Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in PART I, ITEM 1. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS of this Report.

If ComEd violates its Deferred Prosecution Agreement announced on July 17, 2020, it could have an adverse effect on the reputation and consolidated financial statements of Exelon and ComEd (Exelon and ComEd).
On July 17, 2020, ComEd entered into a Deferred Prosecution Agreement (DPA) with the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Northern District of Illinois (USAO) to resolve the USAO’s investigation into Exelon’s and ComEd’s lobbying activities in the State of Illinois. Exelon was not made a party to the DPA and the investigation by the USAO into Exelon’s activities ends with no charges being brought against Exelon. Under the DPA, the USAO filed a single charge alleging that ComEd improperly gave and offered to give jobs, vendor subcontracts, and payments associated with those jobs and subcontracts for the benefit of the Speaker of the Illinois House of Representatives and the Speaker’s associates, with the intent to influence the Speaker’s action regarding legislation affecting ComEd’s interests. The DPA provides that the USAO will defer any prosecution of such charge and any other criminal or civil case against ComEd in connection with the matters identified therein for a three-year period subject to certain obligations of ComEd, including, but not limited to, the following: (i) payment to the United States Treasury of $200 million, with $100 million payable within thirty days of the filing of the DPA with the United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois and an additional $100 million within ninety days of such filing date; (ii) continued full cooperation with the government’s investigation; and (iii) ComEd’s adoption and maintenance of remedial measures involving compliance and reporting undertakings as specified in the DPA. If ComEd is found to have breached the terms of the DPA, the USAO may elect to prosecute, or bring a civil action against, ComEd for conduct alleged in the DPA or known to the government, which could result in fines or penalties and could have an adverse impact on Exelon’s and ComEd’s reputation or relationships with regulatory and legislative authorities, customers and other stakeholders, as well as their consolidated financial statements. See Note 14 — Commitments and Contingencies of the Combined Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in PART I, ITEM 1. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS of this Report.
