(a)Unbilled contract revenue represents accumulated incurred costs and earned profits on contracts (revenue arrangements), which have been recorded as revenue, but have not yet been billed to customers, and which represent contract assets as defined in Topic 606. Substantially all accrued unbilled contract revenue is expected to be collected within one year. Unbilled contract revenue arises from the cost-to-cost method of revenue recognition. Unbilled contract revenue from fixed-price type contracts is converted to billed receivables when amounts are invoiced to customers according to contractual billing terms, which generally occur when deliveries or other performance milestones are completed.
(b)Unearned revenue represents a liability for billings to customers in excess of earned revenue, which are contract liabilities as defined in Topic 606.
(c)Additions for unbilled contract revenue and subtractions for unearned revenue represent additional revenue earned. Additions for unearned revenue and subtractions for unbilled contract revenue represent billings. Activity also includes appropriate balance sheet classification for the period.
(d)Of the subtractions from unearned revenue, $1$2 million and $48$50 million were included in the balance as of January 1, 2019 and 2018, respectively.



As of March 31,September 30, 2019, the aggregate amount of the remaining fixed performance obligations of the Clean Energy Businesses under contracts with customers for energy services is $79$89 million, of which $43$53 million will be recognized within the next two years, and the remaining $36 million will be recognized pursuant to long-term service and maintenance agreements.


Utility Plant
General utility plant of Con Edison and CECONY included $98$95 million and $93$90 million, respectively, at March 31,September 30, 2019 and $100 million and $95 million, respectively, at December 31, 2018, related to a May 2018 acquisition of software licenses. The estimated aggregate annual amortization expense related to the software licenses for Con Edison and CECONY is $7 million. The accumulated amortization for Con Edison and CECONY was $5$8 million at March 31,September 30, 2019 and was $3 million at December 31, 2018.

Long-Lived and Intangible Assets
In January 2019, Pacific Gas and Electric Company (PG&E) filed in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Northern District of California for reorganization under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code. The output of certain Con Edison Development renewable electric production projects with an aggregate generating capacity of 680 MW (AC) of generating capacity (PG&E Projects) is sold to PG&E under long-term power purchase agreements (PG&E PPAs). Most of the PG&E PPAs have contract prices that are higher than estimated market prices. PG&E, as a debtor in possession, may assume or reject the PG&E PPAs, subject to review by the bankruptcy court. In September 2019, PG&E submitted its plan of reorganization to the bankruptcy court. PG&E’s plan includes the assumption by PG&E of all of its power purchase agreements. PG&E’s plan is subject to, among other things: confirmation by the bankruptcy court by June 30, 2020 (or any extension of the date by which PG&E’s bankruptcy must be resolved for PG&E to participate in the insurance fund described below); approval by the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) of PG&E’s implementation of the plan and participation in the insurance fund; and PG&E obtaining funding for distributions under the plan. PG&E may revoke, withdraw or pursuantdelay consideration of the plan prior to its confirmation by the bankruptcy court, and file subsequent amended plans of reorganization. In October 2019, the Ad Hoc PG&E senior note holder committee (Noteholders) and tort claimant committee (TCC) submitted to the bankruptcy court an alternative plan of reorganization for PG&E. The Noteholder/TCC plan also calls for PG&E to assume all of its power purchase agreements and participate in the insurance fund. The Noteholder/TCC plan is also subject to, among other things, confirmation by the bankruptcy court, approval by the CPUC and obtaining funding for distributions under the plan. The Noteholder/TCC plan can be revoked, amended, withdrawn or delayed. Bankruptcy court approval is required for a plan of reorganization to be sent to creditors for consideration.

In January and May 2019, FERC orderissued orders (which PG&E is challenging), the bankruptcy court and FERC. In a May 1, 2019 order, FERC denied PG&E’s request for a rehearing of the January 2019 order and reaffirmed affirming its jurisdiction to review and approve the modification or abrogation of wholesale power contracts that are the subject of rejection in bankruptcy. In June 2019, the bankruptcy court ruled that FERC does not have concurrent jurisdiction with it and that FERC’s January and May 2019 orders are of no force and effect in the bankruptcy proceeding. FERC and additional parties, including Con Edison Development, are challenging the bankruptcy court’s June 2019 ruling in appeals that are pending in the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit.

In July 2019, California enacted a law addressing future California wildfires. The law includes provisions for the establishment of wildfire liquidity and insurance funds and possible limitation of future wildfire liabilities for California utilities. PG&E, Southern California Edison Company and San Diego Gas & Electric Company have agreed to participate in the insurance fund. PG&E’s participation will require bankruptcy court approval and is conditioned on, among other things, resolution of PG&E’s bankruptcy by June 30, 2020, and a determination by the CPUC that PG&E’s bankruptcy reorganization plan is consistent with the state’s climate goals as required under the California Renewables Portfolio Standard Program and related procurement requirements of the state.

The PG&E bankruptcy is an event of default under the PG&E PPAs. Unless the lenders for the related project debt otherwise agree, distributions from the related projects to Con Edison Development will not be made during the pendency of the bankruptcy. See “Reconciliation of Cash, Temporary Cash Investments and Restricted Cash,” below.

At March 31,September 30, 2019, Con Edison’s consolidated balance sheet included $859$827 million of net non-utility plant relating to the PG&E Projects, $1,108$1,075 million of intangible assets relating to the PG&E PPAs, $289$287 million of net non-utility plant of additional projects that secure the related project debt and $1,041$1,012 million of non-recourse related project debt. See "Long-term Debt" in Note C. Con Edison has tested whether its net non-utility plant relating to the PG&E Projects and intangible assets relating to the PG&E PPAs have been impaired. The projected future cash flows used in the test reflected Con Edison’s expectation that the PG&E PPAs are not likely to be rejected. Based on the test, Con Edison has determined that there was no impairment. If, in the future, one or more of the PG&E PPAs is rejected or any such rejection becomes likely, there will be an impairment of the related intangible assets and could be an impairment of the related non-utility plant. The amount of any such impairment could be material.


Acquisitions and Investments
For the nine months ended September 2019, the Clean Energy Businesses reclassified approximately $100 million related to the purchase price adjustments for the December 2018 acquisition by a Con Edison Development subsidiary of Sempra Solar Holdings, LLC. The adjustments primarily decreased property, plant and equipment and asset retirement obligations, and were recorded within the one year available to finalize the purchase price allocation, including working capital and other closing adjustments.

Earnings Per Common Share
Con Edison presents basic and diluted earnings per share (EPS) on the face of its consolidated income statement. Basic EPS is calculated by dividing earnings available to common shareholders (“Net income for common stock” on Con Edison’s consolidated income statement) by the weighted average number of Con Edison common shares outstanding during the period. In the calculation of diluted EPS, weighted average shares outstanding are increased for additional shares that would be outstanding if potentially dilutive securities were converted to common stock.


Potentially dilutive securities for Con Edison consist of restricted stock units and deferred stock units for which the average market price of the common shares for the period was greater than the exercise price.price and its common shares that are subject to a May 2019 forward sale agreement (see Note C). Before the issuance of common shares upon settlement of the forward sale agreement, the shares will be reflected in the company’s diluted earnings per share calculations using the treasury stock method. Under this method, the number of common shares used in calculating diluted earnings per share is deemed to be increased by the excess, if any, of the number of shares that would be issued upon physical settlement of the forward sale agreement over the number of shares that could be purchased by the company in the market (based on the average market price during the period) using the proceeds due upon physical settlement (based on the adjusted forward sale price at the end of the reporting period).


For the three and nine months ended March 31,September 30, 2019 and 2018, basic and diluted EPS for Con Edison are calculated as follows:

O&R New York – Electric and Gas
In March 2019, the NYSPSC approved the November 2018 joint proposalJoint Proposal for new electric and gas rates. The joint proposalJoint Proposal provides for electric rate increases of $13.4 million, $8.0 million and $5.8 million, effective January 1, 2019, 2020 and 2021, respectively. The joint proposalJoint Proposal provides for a gas rate decrease of $7.5 million, effective January 1, 2019, and gas rate increases of $3.6 million and $0.7 million, effective January 1, 2020 and 2021.2021, respectively.



Rockland Electric Company (RECO)

In October 2019, the New Jersey Division of Rate Counsel staff submitted testimony in the New Jersey Board of Public Utilities proceeding in which RECO requested an electric rate increase, effective February 2020. The Division of Rate Counsel staff testimony supports an electric rate increase of $5.8 million reflecting, among other things, an 8.9 percent return on common equity and a common equity ratio of 47.14 percent. In October 2019, RECO filed an update to the request it filed in May 2019. The company increased its requested February 2020 rate increase from $19.9 million to $20.3 million. The updated filing reflects an increase to the common equity ratio from 49.93 percent to 50.16 percent and a decrease in the return on common equity from 10.00 percent to 9.60 percent.

Other Regulatory Matters
In August and November 2017, the NYSPSC issued orders in its proceeding investigating an April 21, 2017 Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA) subway power outage. The orders indicated that the investigation determined that the outage was caused by a failure of CECONY’s electricity supply to a subway station, which led to a loss of the subway signals, and that one of the secondary services to the MTA facility had been improperly rerouted and was not properly documented by the company. The orders also indicated that the loss of power to the subway station affected multiple subway lines and caused widespread delays across the subway system. Pursuant to the orders, the company iswas required to take certain actions, including inspecting, repairing and installing certain electrical equipment that serves the subway system, analyzing power supply and power quality events affecting the MTA’s signaling services, and filing monthly reports with the NYSPSC on all of the company's activities related to the subway system. The company completed the required actions in 2018. Through March 31, 2019, the company incurredThe company’s costs related to this matter in excess of $270 million.

In August 2018, the NYSPSC ordered CECONY to begin on January 1, 2019 to credit the company's electric and gas customers, and to begin on October 1, 2018 to credit its steam customers, with the net benefits of the federal Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 (TCJA) as measured based on amounts reflected in its rate plans prior to the enactment of the TCJA in December 2017. The net benefits include the revenue requirement impact of the reduction in the corporate federal income tax rate to 21 percent, the elimination for utilities of bonus depreciation and the amortization of excess deferred federal income taxes. CECONY estimates that its credit of net benefits of the TCJA to its electric, gas and steam customers in 2019 will amount to $259 million, $113 million and $25 million, respectively. CECONY’s net benefits prior to January 1, 2019 and its net regulatory liability for future income taxes, including both the protected and unprotected portions, allocable to the company’s electric and gas customers ($311 million) are to be deferred and addressed in its pending electric rate proceeding. CECONY’s net benefits prior to January 1,the October 2019 allocableJoint Proposal (see footnote (b) to the company’s gas customers ($90 million)CECONY - Electric and Gas tables under “Rate Plans,” above). CECONY’s net benefits prior to October 1, 2018 allocable to the company’s steam customers ($15 million) are to bebeing amortized over a three-year period. CECONY’s net regulatory liability for future income taxes, including both the protected and unprotected portions, allocable to the company’s electric customers ($2,489 million) is to continue to be deferred and addressed in its pending electric rate proceeding and the amounts allocable to its gas and steam customers ($804 million and $185 million, respectively) are to be185 million) is being amortized over the remaining lives of the related assets (with the amortization period for the unprotected portion subject to review in its pending gas rate proceeding and next steam rate proceeding).


In January 2018, the NYSPSC issued an order initiating a focused operations audit of the income tax accounting of certain utilities, including CECONY and O&R. The Utilities are unable to estimate the amount or range of their possible loss related to this matter. At March 31,September 30, 2019, the Utilities had not accrued a liability related to this matter.


In March 2018, Winter Storms Riley and Quinn caused damage to the Utilities’ electric distribution systems and interrupted service to approximately 209,000 CECONY customers, 93,000 O&R customers and 44,000 RECO customers. At March 31,September 30, 2019, CECONY's costs related to March 2018 storms, including Riley and Quinn, amounted to $133$134 million, including operation and maintenance expenses reflected in its electric rate plan ($15 million), operation and maintenance expenses charged against a storm reserve pursuant to its electric rate plan ($

($84 million), capital expenditures ($29 million) and removal costs ($6 million). At March 31,September 30, 2019, O&R and RECO costs related to 2018 storms amounted to $43 million and $17 million, respectively, most of which were deferred as regulatory assets pursuant to their electric rate plans. In January 2019, O&R began recovering its deferred storm costs over a six year period in accordance with its New York electric rate plan. The NYSPSC investigated the preparation and response to the storms by CECONY, O&R, and other New York electric utilities, including all aspects of their emergency response plans. In April 2019, following the issuance of a NYSPSC staff report on the investigation, the NYSPSC ordered the utilities to show cause why the NYSPSC should not commence a penalty action against them for violating their emergency response plans. The Utilities are unable to estimate the amount or range of their possible loss related to this matter. At March 31,September 30, 2019, the Utilities had not accrued a liability related to this matter.


In May 2018, FERC denied a complaint the NJBPU filed with FERC seeking the re-allocation to CECONY of certain PJM Interconnection LLC (PJM) transmission costs that had been allocated to the company prior to April 2017 when transmission service provided to the company pursuant to the PJM open access transmission tariff terminated. The transmission service terminated because the company did not exercise its option to continue the service following a series of requests PJM had submitted to FERC that substantially increased the charges for the transmission service. CECONY challenged each of these requests. FERC rejected all but one of CECONY’s protests. In June

2015 and May 2016, CECONY filed appeals of certain FERC decisions with the U.S. Court of Appeals. In July 2018, FERC established a settlement proceeding relating to the allocation of PJM transmission costs. Under CECONY’s electric rate plan, unless and until changed by the NYSPSC, the company will recover all charges incurred associated with the transmission service.


In July 2018, the NYSPSC commenced an investigation into the rupture of a CECONY steam main (see Note H).


In March 2019, the NYSPSC ordered CECONY to show cause why the NYSPSC should not commence a penalty action and prudence proceeding against CECONY for alleged violations of gas operator qualification, performance, and inspection requirements. The company is seeking to resolve this matter through settlement negotiations with the NYSPSC staff. Any settlement would be subject to NYSPSC approval. The company is unable to estimate the amount or range of its possible loss related to this matter. At March 31,September 30, 2019, the company had not accrued a liability related to this matter.



On July 13, 2019, electric service was interrupted to approximately 72,000 CECONY customers on the west side of Manhattan. The NYSPSC and the Northeast Power Coordinating Council, a regional reliability entity, are investigating the July 13, 2019 power outage. The NYSPSC is also investigating other CECONY power outages that occurred in July 2019. Pursuant to the reliability performance provisions of its electric rate plan, as a result of the July 13, 2019 power outage, the company is subject to a $5 million negative revenue adjustment (which it recognized in the third quarter of 2019). The company is unable to estimate the amount or range of its possible additional loss related to the power outages. At September 30, 2019, the company had accrued a $5 million liability related to the power outages.

Note C – Capitalization
In February 2019, Con Edison borrowed $825 million under a two-year variable-rate term loan to fund the repayment of a 6-monthsix-month variable-rate term loan. In June 2019, Con Edison pre-paid $150 million of the amount borrowed.


In March 2019, Con Edison issued 5,649,369 shares of its common stock for $425 million upon physical settlement of the remaining shares subject to its November 2018 forward sale agreements.

In April 2019, CECONY redeemed at maturity $475 million of 6.65 percent 10-year debentures.

In May 2019, Con Edison entered into a forward sale agreement relating to 5,800,000 shares of its common stock. In June 2019, the company issued 4,750,000 shares for $400 million upon physical settlement of shares subject to the forward sale agreement. At September 30, 2019, 1,050,000 shares remain subject to the forward sale agreement. The company expects the remaining shares under the forward sale agreement to settle by December 28, 2020. The company or the forward purchaser may accelerate the forward sale agreement upon the occurrence of certain events. On a settlement date, if the company decides to physically settle, it will issue shares to the forward purchaser at the then-applicable forward sale price. The forward sale price is equal to $84.83 per share subject to adjustment on a daily basis based on a floating interest rate factor less a spread and will be subject to decrease by amounts related to expected dividends. The remaining shares under the forward sale agreement will be physically settled, unless the company elects cash or net share settlement (which it has the right to do, subject to certain conditions, other than in limited circumstances). In the event the company elects to cash settle or net share settle, the settlement amount will be generally related to (1)(a) the market value of the common stock during the unwind period under the forward sale agreement minus (b) the applicable forward sale price; multiplied by (2) the number of shares subject to such cash settlement or net share settlement. If this settlement amount is a negative number, the forward purchaser will pay the company the absolute value of that amount or deliver to the company a number of shares having a value equal to the absolute value of such amount. If this settlement amount is a positive number, the company will pay the forward purchaser that amount or deliver to the forward purchaser a number of shares having a value equal to such amount.

In May 2019, CECONY issued $700 million aggregate principal amount of 4.125 percent debentures, due 2049.
In May 2019, O&R’s New Jersey utility subsidiary paid the remaining $1 million principal amount of Transition Bonds issued in 2004.
In May 2019, a Con Edison Development subsidiary borrowed $464 million at a variable-rate, due 2026, secured by equity interests in solar electric production projects. The company has entered into fixed-rate interest rate swaps in connection with this borrowing. See Note L.
In September 2019, O&R agreed to issue in November 2019 $43 million aggregate principal amount of 3.73 percent debentures, due 2049 and to issue in December 2019 $44 million aggregate principal amount of 2.94 percent debentures, due 2029 and $38 million aggregate principal amount of 3.46 percent debentures, due 2039.
In October 2019, a Con Edison Development subsidiary issued $303 million aggregate principal amount of 3.82 percent senior notes, due 2038, secured by the company's Panoche Valley and Wistaria Solar renewable electric production projects.

At December 31, 2018, the Clean Energy Businesses had $2,076 million of non-recourse project debt secured by the pledge of the applicable renewable energy production projects, of which $1,965 million was included in long-term debt and $111 million was included in long-term debt due within one year in Con Edison's consolidated balance sheet. As a result of the January 2019 PG&E bankruptcy (see "Long-Lived and Intangible Assets" in Note A), during the first quarter of 2019, Con Edison reclassified on its consolidated balance sheet the PG&E-related project debt that was included in long-term debt to long-term debt due within one year. At March 31,September 30, 2019, long-term debt due within one year included $1,041$1,012 million of PG&E-related project debt. The lenders for the PG&E-related project debt may, upon written notice, declare principal and interest on the PG&E-related project debt to be due and payable immediately and, if such amounts are not timely paid, foreclose on the related projects. The company is seeking to negotiate agreements with the PG&E-related project debt lenders pursuant to which the lenders would defer exercising these remedies.

Note G – Environmental Matters
Superfund Sites
Hazardous substances, such as asbestos, polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) and coal tar, have been used or generated in the course of operations of the Utilities and their predecessors and are present at sites and in facilities and equipment they currently or previously owned, including sites at which gas was manufactured or stored.
The Federal Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act of 1980 and similar state statutes (Superfund) impose joint and several liability, regardless of fault, upon generators of hazardous substances for investigation and remediation costs (which include costs of demolition, removal, disposal, storage, replacement, containment and monitoring) and natural resource damages. Liability under these laws can be material and may be imposed for contamination from past acts, even though such past acts may have been lawful at the time they occurred. The sites at which the Utilities have been asserted to have liability under these laws, including their manufactured gas plant sites and any neighboring areas to which contamination may have migrated, are referred to herein as “Superfund Sites.”
For Superfund Sites where there are other potentially responsible parties and the Utilities are not managing the site investigation and remediation, the accrued liability represents an estimate of the amount the Utilities will need to pay to investigate and, where determinable, discharge their related obligations. For Superfund Sites (including the manufactured gas plant sites) for which one of the Utilities is managing the investigation and remediation, the accrued liability represents an estimate of the company’s share of the undiscounted cost to investigate the sites and, for sites that have been investigated in whole or in part, the cost to remediate the sites, if remediation is necessary and if a reasonable estimate of such cost can be made. Remediation costs are estimated in light of the information available, applicable remediation standards and experience with similar sites.
The accrued liabilities and regulatory assets related to Superfund Sites at March 31,September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 were as follows:
         Con Edison        CECONY

Most of the accrued Superfund Site liability relates to sites that have been investigated, in whole or in part. However, for some of the sites, the extent and associated cost of the required remediation has not yet been

determined. As investigations progress and information pertaining to the required remediation becomes available, the Utilities expect that additional liability may be accrued, the amount of which is not presently determinable but may be material. The Utilities are permitted to recover or defer as regulatory assets (for subsequent recovery through rates) prudently incurred site investigation and remediation costs.

Insurance and other third-party recoveries received by Con Edison or CECONY were immaterial for the three and nine months ended March 31,September 30, 2019 and 2018.
In 2018, Con Edison and CECONY estimated that for their manufactured gas plant sites (including CECONY’s Astoria site), the aggregate undiscounted potential liability for the investigation and remediation of coal tar and/or other environmental contaminants could range up to $2.8 billion and $2.6 billion, respectively. These estimates were based on the assumption that there is contamination at all sites, including those that have not yet been fully investigated and additional assumptions about the extent of the contamination and the type and extent of the remediation that may be required. Actual experience may be materially different.

Asbestos Proceedings
Suits have been brought in New York State and federal courts against the Utilities and many other defendants, wherein a large number of plaintiffs sought large amounts of compensatory and punitive damages for deaths and injuries allegedly caused by exposure to asbestos at various premises of the Utilities. The suits that have been resolved, which are many, have been resolved without any payment by the Utilities, or for amounts that were not, in the aggregate, material to them. The amounts specified in all the remaining thousands of suits total billions of dollars; however, the Utilities believe that these amounts are greatly exaggerated, based on the disposition of previous claims. At March 31,September 30, 2019, Con Edison and CECONY have accrued their estimated aggregate undiscounted potential liabilities for these suits and additional suits that may be brought over the next 15 years as shown in the following table. These estimates were based upon a combination of modeling, historical data analysis and risk factor assessment. Courts have begun, and unless otherwise determined on appeal may continue, to apply different standards for determining liability in asbestos suits than the standard that applied historically. As a result, the Companies currently believe that there is a reasonable possibility of an exposure to loss in excess of the liability accrued for the suits. The Companies are unable to estimate the amount or range of such loss. In addition, certain current and former employees have claimed or are claiming workers’ compensation benefits based on alleged disability from exposure to asbestos. CECONY is permitted to defer as regulatory assets (for subsequent recovery through rates) costs incurred for its asbestos lawsuits and workers’ compensation claims.
The accrued liability for asbestos suits and workers’ compensation proceedings (including those related to asbestos exposure) and the amounts deferred as regulatory assets for the Companies at March 31,September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 were as follows:

Note H – Other Material Contingencies
Manhattan Explosion and Fire
On March 12, 2014, two2 multi-use five-story tall buildings located on Park Avenue between 116th and 117th Streets in Manhattan were destroyed by an explosion and fire. CECONY had delivered gas to the buildings through service lines from a distribution main located below ground on Park Avenue. EightNaN people died and more than 50 people were injured. Additional buildings were also damaged. The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) investigated. The parties to the investigation included the company, the City of New York, the Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration and the NYSPSC. In June 2015, the NTSB issued a final report concerning the incident, its probable cause and safety recommendations. The NTSB determined that the probable cause of the incident was (1) the failure of a defective fusion joint at a service tee (which joined a plastic service line to a plastic distribution main) installed by the company that allowed gas to leak from the distribution main and migrate into a building where it ignited and (2) a breach in a City sewer line that allowed groundwater and soil to flow into the sewer, resulting in a loss of support for the distribution main, which caused it to sag and overstressed the defective fusion joint. The NTSB also made safety recommendations, including recommendations to the company that addressed its procedures for the preparation and examination of plastic fusions, training of its staff on conditions for notifications to the City’s Fire Department and extension of its gas main isolation valve installation program. In February 2017, the NYSPSC approved a settlement agreement with the company related to the NYSPSC's investigations of the incident and the practices of qualifying persons to perform plastic fusions. Pursuant to the agreement, the company is providing $27 million of future benefits to customers (for which it has accrued a regulatory liability) and will not recover from customers $126 million of costs for gas emergency response activities that it had previously incurred and expensed. Approximately eighty80 suits are pending against the company seeking generally unspecified damages and, in some cases, punitive damages, for wrongful death, personal injury, property damage and business interruption. The company has notified its insurers of the incident and believes that the policies in force at the time of the incident will cover the company’s costs, in excess of a required retention (the amount of which is not material), to satisfy any liability it may have for damages in connection with the incident. The company is unable to estimate the amount or range of its possible loss for damages related to the incident. At March 31,September 30, 2019, the company had not accrued a liability for damages related to the incident.

Manhattan Steam Main Rupture
In July 2018, a CECONY steam main located on Fifth Avenue and 21st Street in Manhattan ruptured. Debris from the incident included dirt and mud containing asbestos. The response to the incident required the closing of buildings and streets for various periods. The NYSPSC has commenced an investigation. As of March 31,September 30, 2019, with respect to the incident, the company incurred estimated operating costs of $16 million for property damage, clean- up and other response costs and invested $9$10 million in capital and retirement costs. The company has notified its insurers of the incident and believes that the policies currently in force will cover the company’s costs, in excess of a required retention (the amount of which is not material), to satisfy any liability it may have for damages to others in connection with the incident. The company is unable to estimate the amount or range of its possible loss related to the incident. At March 31,September 30, 2019, the company had not accrued a liability related to the incident.

Note I – Leases
In January 2019, the Companies adopted Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2016-02, “Leases (Topic 842),” including the amendments thereto, using a modified retrospective transition method of adoption that required no prior period adjustments or charges to retained earnings for cumulative impact. The standard supersedes the lease requirements within ASC Topic 840, “Leases.”


The Companies lease electric transmission facilities, gas distribution facilities, land, office buildings, equipment and equipment.access rights to support electric transmission facilities. Upon adoption of Topic 842, the Companies recognized lease right-of-use assets and lease liabilities on their consolidated balance sheets for virtually all of their leases (other than leases that meet the definition of a short-term lease, the expense for which was immaterial). A lease right-of-use asset represents a right to use an identifiable underlying asset and obtain substantially all of the economic benefits from the use of that asset for the lease term. A lease liability represents an obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Leases are classified as either operating leases or finance leases. Operating leases are included in operating lease right-of-use asset and operating lease liabilities on the Companies’ consolidated balance sheets. Finance leases are included in other noncurrent assets, other current liabilities and other noncurrent liabilities. The Utilities, as regulated entities, are permitted to continue to recognize expense for operating leases using the timing that conforms to the regulatory rate treatment (with the amortization of the lease asset based on theas rental payments are recovered from our customers)customers and to account the same way for finance leases. Lessor accounting is similar to the previous model, but updated to align with ASC Topic 606 “Revenue from Contracts with Customers."


The Companies elected the following practical expedients: (1) a package of practical expedients that allows the Companies to not reassess: (a) whether expired or existing contracts contained leases; (b) the lease classification

Table of Contents

for expired or existing leases and (c) the initial direct costs for existing leases; (2) for all underlying asset classes, an expedient that allows the Companies to not apply the recognition requirements to short-term leases and an expedient that will allowallows the Companies to account for lease and associated non-lease components as a single lease component; (3) an expedient that allows the use of hindsight to determine lease term; and (4) an expedient that allows the Companies to not evaluate under Topic 842 land easements that exist or expired before the entity’s adoption of Topic 842 and that were not previously accounted for as leases under Topic 840.


The Companies, upon adoption of Topic 842 recognized, and for new operating leases at commencement date recognize, operating lease right-of-use assets and operating lease liabilities based on the present value of the future minimum lease payments over the lease term. As most of the Companies’ leases do not provide an implicit rate, the Companies used their collateralized incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at the commencement date to determine the present value of future payments. Most of the Companies’ leases have remaining lease terms of one year to 35 years, and may include options to renew or extend the leases for up to five years at the fair rental value. The Companies' lease terms may include options to renew, extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that the Companies will exercise that option. There were no leases with material variable lease payments or residual value guarantees.


Operating lease cost and cash paid for amounts included in the measurement of lease liabilities were as follows for Con Edison and CECONY for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2019:September 30, 2019 were as follows:

Note J – Income Tax
Con Edison’s income tax expense decreased to $108$116 million for the three months ended March 31,September 30, 2019 from $117$175 million for the three months ended March 31,September 30, 2018. The decrease in income tax expense is primarily due to lower income before income tax expense (excluding income attributable to noncontrolling interest (see Note N)), lower state income taxes, the absence of a $42 million re-measurement of deferred tax assets due to the TCJA associated with Con Edison’s 2017 federal net operating loss carryforward into 2018 recognized at the filing of its 2017 federal tax return, an increase in the amortization of excess deferred federal income taxes due to the TCJA and higher renewable energy credits and adjustments for prior period federal income tax returns primarily due to increased research and development credits at the Clean Energy Businesses, offset, in part, by higher state income taxes.an increase in uncertain tax positions at the Clean Energy Businesses.

CECONY and O&R and RECO deferred as regulatory liabilities their estimated net benefits under the TCJA for the threenine months ended March 31,September 30, 2018. CECONY continuedCECONY's net benefits prior to deferJanuary 1, 2019 for its electric service and amortization of excess deferred federal income taxes for its electric service for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 continue to be deferred. RECO deferred as a regulatory liability its estimated net benefits for its electric serviceunder the TCJA for the three months ended March 31, 2019.2018. The net benefits include the revenue requirement impact of the reduction in the corporate federal income tax rate to 21 percent, the elimination for utilities of bonus depreciation and the amortization of excess deferred federal income taxes the utilities collected from customers that will not need to be paid to the Internal Revenue Service under the TCJA. See “Other Regulatory Matters” in Note B.


Uncertain Tax Positions
At March 31,September 30, 2019, the estimated liability for uncertain tax positions for Con Edison was $7$15 million ($4 million for CECONY). Con Edison reasonably expects to resolve within the next twelve months approximately $4$12 million of various federal and state uncertainties due to the expected completion of ongoing tax examinations, and resolution of state refund claims, of which the entire amount, if recognized, would reduce Con Edison's effective tax rate. The amount related to CECONY is approximately $2$3 million, which, if recognized, would reduce CECONY’s effective tax rate. The total amount of unrecognized tax benefits, if recognized, that would reduce Con Edison’s effective tax rate is $7$15 million ($614 million, net of federal taxes).
The Companies recognize interest on liabilities for uncertain tax positions in interest expense and would recognize penalties, if any, in operating expenses in the Companies’ consolidated income statements. In the three and nine months ended March 31,September 30, 2019, the Companies recognized noan immaterial amount of interest expense orand penalties for uncertain tax positions in their consolidated income statements. At March 31,September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the Companies recognized an immaterial amount of accrued interest on their consolidated balance sheets.

Note L – Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities
Con Edison’s subsidiariesThe Utilities and the Clean Energy Businesses hedge market price fluctuations associated with physical purchases and sales of electricity, natural gas, steam and, to a lesser extent, refined fuels by using derivative instruments including futures, forwards, basis swaps, options, transmission congestion contracts and financial transmission rights contracts. These are economic hedges, for which the Utilities and the Clean Energy Business do not elect hedge accounting. The Clean Energy Businesses use interest rate swaps to manage the risks associated with interest rates related to outstanding and expected future debt issuances and borrowings. Derivatives are recognized on the consolidated balance sheet at fair value (see Note M), unless an exception is available under the accounting rules for derivatives and hedging. Qualifying derivative contracts that have been designated as normal purchases or normal sales contracts are not reported at fair value under the accounting rules.

In August 2017, the FASB issued amendments to the guidance for derivatives and hedging through ASU 2017-12, “Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities.” The amendments in this update provide greater clarification on hedge accounting for risk components, presentation and disclosure of hedging instruments, and overall targeted improvements to simplify hedge accounting. The amendment wasamendments were effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018. The application of the guidance did not have a material impact on the Companies’ financial position, results of operations and liquidity because the Companies do not elect hedge accounting for their derivative instruments and hedging activities.

(a)Derivative instruments and collateral were offset on the consolidated balance sheet as applicable under the accounting rules. The Companies enter into master agreements for their commodity derivatives. These agreements typically provide offset in the event of contract termination. In such case, generally the non-defaulting party’s payable will be offset by the defaulting party’s payable. The non-defaulting party will customarily notify the defaulting party within a specific time period and come to an agreement on the early termination amount.
(b)At March 31,September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, margin deposits for Con Edison ($4 million and $7 million, respectively)7 million) and CECONY ($4 million and $6 million, respectively)6 million) were classified as derivative assets on the consolidated balance sheet, but not included in the table. Margin is collateral, typically cash, that the holder of a derivative instrument is required to deposit in order to transact on an exchange and to cover its potential losses with its broker or the exchange.
(c)Does not includeIncludes amounts for interest rate swaps of $1$(7) million in current liabilities and $(57) million in noncurrent assets and $(14) million in noncurrent liabilities (see below).liabilities. At September 30, 2019, the Clean Energy Businesses had interest rate swaps with notional amounts of $934 million. The expiration dates of the swaps range from 2024-2041.
(d)Does not includeIncludes amounts for interest rate swaps of $2 million in noncurrent assets and $(6) million in noncurrent liabilities (see below).liabilities. At December 31, 2018, the Clean Energy Business had interest rate swaps with notional amounts of $499 million. The expiration dates of the swaps range from 2024-2035.



The Utilities generally recover their prudently incurred fuel, purchased power and gas costs, including hedging gains and losses, in accordance with rate provisions approved by the applicable state utility regulators. In accordance with the accounting rules for regulated operations, the Utilities record a regulatory asset or liability to defer recognition of unrealized gains and losses on their electric and gas derivatives. As gains and losses are realized in future periods, they will be recognized as purchased power, gas and fuel costs in the Companies’ consolidated income statements.

The Clean Energy Businesses record realized and unrealized gains and losses on their derivative contracts in purchased power, gas purchased for resale and non-utility revenue in the reporting period in which they occur. The Clean Energy Businesses record changes in the fair value of their interest rate swaps in other interest expense at the end of each reporting period. Management believes that these derivative instruments represent economic hedges that mitigate exposure to fluctuations in commodity prices.prices and interest rates.

The Companies are exposed to credit risk related to transactions entered into primarily for the various energy supply and hedging activities by the Utilities and the Clean Energy Businesses. Credit risk relates to the loss that may result from a counterparty’s nonperformance. The Companies use credit policies to manage this risk, including an established credit approval process, monitoring of counterparty limits, netting provisions within agreements, collateral or prepayment arrangements, credit insurance and credit default swaps. The Companies measure credit risk exposure as the replacement cost for open energy commodity and derivative positions plus amounts owed from counterparties for settled transactions. The replacement cost of open positions represents unrealized gains, net of any unrealized losses where the Companies have a legally enforceable right to offset.
At March 31,September 30, 2019, Con Edison and CECONY had $115$154 million and $11$6 million of credit exposure in connection with open energy supply net receivables and hedging activities, net of collateral, respectively. Con Edison’s net credit exposure consisted of $38 million with investment-grade counterparties, $32$58 million with independent system operators, $32$50 million with non-investment grade/non-rated counterparties, $35 million with investment-grade counterparties and $13$11 million with commodity exchange brokers. CECONY’s net credit exposure consisted of $6 million with commodity exchange brokers and $5 millionan immaterial amount with investment-grade counterparties.
The collateral requirements associated with, and settlement of, derivative transactions are included in net cash flows from operating activities in the Companies’ consolidated statement of cash flows. Most derivative instrument contracts contain provisions that may require a party to provide collateral on its derivative instruments that are in a net liability position. The amount of collateral to be provided will depend on the fair value of the derivative instruments and the party’s credit ratings.

(a)Non-derivative transactions for the purchase and sale of electricity and gas and qualifying derivative instruments, which have been designated as normal purchases or normal sales, are excluded from the table. These transactions primarily include purchases of electricity from independent system operators. In the event the Utilities and the Clean Energy Businesses were no longer extended unsecured credit for such purchases, the Companies would be required to post an immaterial amount of additional collateral of $1 million at March 31,September 30, 2019. For certain other such non-derivative transactions, the Companies could be required to post collateral under certain circumstances, including in the event counterparties had reasonable grounds for insecurity.
(b)The Companies measure the collateral requirements by taking into consideration the fair value amounts of derivative instruments that contain credit-risk-related contingent features that are in a net liability position plus amounts owed to counterparties for settled transactions and amounts required by counterparties for minimum financial security. The fair value amounts represent unrealized losses, net of any unrealized gains where the Companies have a legally enforceable right to offset.
(c)Derivative instruments that are net assets have been excluded from the table. At March 31,September 30, 2019, if Con Edison had been downgraded to below investment grade, it would have been required to post additional collateral for such derivative instruments of $14$26 million.
Interest Rate Swaps
In December 2018, the Clean Energy Businesses acquired Sempra Solar Holdings, LLC, which holds interest rate swaps that terminate in 2025, 2028 and 2035. The fair value of these interest rate swaps were a net liability of $13 million and $5 million as of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively, on Con Edison's consolidated balance sheet.

In December 2016, the Clean Energy Businesses acquired Coram Wind, which holds an interest rate swap that terminates in June 2024, pursuant to which it pays a fixed-rate of 2.0855 percent and receives a LIBOR-based variable rate. The fair value of this interest rate swap was an immaterial amount and a net asset of $1 million as of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively, on Con Edison’s consolidated balance sheet.


Note M – Fair Value Measurements
The accounting rules for fair value measurements and disclosures define fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date in a principal or most advantageous market. Fair value is a market-based measurement that is determined based on inputs, which refer broadly to assumptions that market participants use in pricing assets or


43

Table of Contents

liabilities. These inputs can be readily observable, market corroborated, or generally unobservable firm inputs. The Companies often make certain assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, including assumptions about risk, and the risks inherent in the inputs to valuation techniques. The Companies use valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs.
The accounting rules for fair value measurements and disclosures established a fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value in three broad levels. The rules require that assets and liabilities be classified in their entirety based on the level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Assessing the significance of a particular input may require judgment considering factors specific to the asset or liability, and may affect the valuation of the asset or liability and their placement within the fair value hierarchy. The Companies classify fair value balances based on the fair value hierarchy defined by the accounting rules for fair value measurements and disclosures as follows:
Level 1 – Consists of assets or liabilities whose value is based on unadjusted quoted prices in active markets at the measurement date. An active market is one in which transactions for assets or liabilities occur with sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis. This category includes contracts traded on active exchange markets valued using unadjusted prices quoted directly from the exchange.
Level 2 – Consists of assets or liabilities valued using industry standard models and based on prices, other than quoted prices within Level 1, that are either directly or indirectly observable as of the measurement


37

Table of Contents

date. The industry standard models consider observable assumptions including time value, volatility factors and current market and contractual prices for the underlying commodities, in addition to other economic measures. This category includes contracts traded on active exchanges or in over-the-counter markets priced with industry standard models.
Level 3 – Consists of assets or liabilities whose fair value is estimated based on internally developed models or methodologies using inputs that are generally less readily observable and supported by little, if any, market activity at the measurement date. Unobservable inputs are developed based on the best available information and subject to cost benefit constraints. This category includes contracts priced using models that are internally developed and contracts placed in illiquid markets. It also includes contracts that expire after the period of time for which quoted prices are available and internal models are used to determine a significant portion of the value.
 
Assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of March 31,September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 are summarized below.

(a)The Companies’ policy is to review the fair value hierarchy and recognize transfers into and transfers out of the levels at the end of each reporting period. Con Edison and CECONY had no transfers between levels 1, 2, and 3 during the threenine months ended March 31,September 30, 2019. Con Edison and CECONY had $2 million of commodity derivative liabilities transferred from level 3 to level 2 during the year ended December 31, 2018 because of availability of observable market data due to the decrease in the terms of certain contracts from beyond three years as of December 31, 2017 to less than three years as of December 31, 2018.

Con Edison and CECONY had $2 million of commodity derivative liabilities transferred from level 3 to level 2 during the year ended December 31, 2018 because of availability of observable market data due to the decrease in the terms of certain contracts from beyond three years as of September 30, 2018 to less than three years as of December 31, 2018.
(b)Level 2 assets and liabilities include investments held in the deferred compensation plan and/or non-qualified retirement plans, exchange-traded contracts where there is insufficient market liquidity to warrant inclusion in Level 1, certain over-the-counter derivative instruments for electricity, refined products and natural gas. Derivative instruments classified as Level 2 are valued using industry standard models that incorporate corroborated observable inputs; such as pricing services or prices from similar instruments that trade in liquid markets, time value and volatility factors.
(c)The accounting rules for fair value measurements and disclosures require consideration of the impact of nonperformance risk (including credit risk) from a market participant perspective in the measurement of the fair value of assets and liabilities. At March 31,September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the Companies determined that nonperformance risk would have no material impact on their financial position or results of operations.
(d)Other assets are comprised of assets such as life insurance contracts within the deferred compensation plan and non-qualified retirement plans.
(e)Amounts represent the impact of legally-enforceable master netting agreements that allow the Companies to net gain and loss positions and cash collateral held or placed with the same counterparties.

Note N – Variable Interest Entities
The accounting rules for consolidation address the consolidation of a variable interest entity (VIE) by a business enterprise that is the primary beneficiary. A VIE is an entity that does not have a sufficient equity investment at risk to permit it to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support, or whose equity investors lack the characteristics of a controlling financial interest. The primary beneficiary is the business enterprise that has the power to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly impact the VIE’s economic performance and either absorbs a significant amount of the VIE’s losses or has the right to receive benefits that could be significant to the VIE.

The Companies enter into arrangements including leases, partnerships and electricity purchase agreements, with various entities. As a result of these arrangements, the Companies retain or may retain a variable interest in these entities.
CECONY
CECONY has an ongoing long-term electricity purchase agreement with Brooklyn Navy Yard Cogeneration Partners, LP, a potential VIE. In 2018, a request was made of this counterparty for information necessary to determine whether the entity was a VIE and whether CECONY is the primary beneficiary; however, the information was not made available. The payments for this contract constitute CECONY’s maximum exposure to loss with respect to the potential VIE.


Con Edison Development
In September 2019, Con Edison has a variableDevelopment, which previously owned an 80 percent membership interest in OCI Solar San Antonio 4 LLC (Texas Solar 4), whichacquired the remaining 20 percent interest. Texas Solar 4 is a consolidated entityentity. Prior to the acquisition, Con Edison had a variable interest in Texas Solar 4, as to which Con Edison Development has an 80 percent membership interest. Con Edison iswas the primary beneficiary since the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the economics of Texas Solar 4 iswas held by a Con Edison Development subsidiary. Texas Solar 4 owns a project company that developed a 40 MW (AC) solar electric production project. Electricity generated by the project is sold

pursuant to a long-term power purchase agreement. Con Edison's earningslosses from Texas Solar 4 for the three and nine months ended March 31,September 30, 2019 and 2018 were immaterial.


In December 2018, a Con Edison Development subsidiary completed its acquisition of Sempra Solar Holdings, LLC. Included in the acquisition were certain operating projects (Tax Equity Projects) with a noncontrolling tax equity investor to which a percentage of earnings, tax attributes and cash flows are allocated. The Tax Equity Projects are consolidated entities in which Con Edison has less than a 100 percent membership interest. Con Edison is the primary beneficiary since the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the economics of the Tax Equity Projects is held by Con Edison Development subsidiaries. Electricity generated by the Tax Equity Projects is sold to utilities and municipalities pursuant to long-term power purchase agreements. For the three months ended March 31,September 30, 2019, the hypothetical liquidation at book value (HLBV) method of accounting for the Tax Equity Projects resulted in $21$30 million of income($16income ($23 million, after tax) for the tax equity investor and a $13 million loss ($10 million, after tax) for Con Edison. For the nine months ended September 30, 2019, the HLBV method of accounting for the Tax Equity Projects resulted in $79 million of income ($60 million, after-tax) for the tax equity investor and a $19$47 million loss ($1436 million, after-tax) for Con Edison.

AsThe amendments introduce an expected credit loss impairment model which requires immediate recognition of anticipated losses over the updated guidance now requires credit losses to be recognized when expected rather than when incurred, ainstrument’s life.

In January 2017, the FASB issued amendments to the guidance for the subsequent measurement of goodwill through ASU 2017-04, “Intangibles-Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment.” The amendments in this update simplify goodwill impairment testing by eliminating Step 2 of the goodwill impairment test wherein an entity has to compute the implied fair value of goodwill by performing procedures to determine the fair value of its assets and liabilities. Under the new guidance, an entity should recognize an impairment charge for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value up to the total amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit. For public entities, the amendments are effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2019. Early adoption is permitted. The application of this guidance is not expected to have a material impact on the Companies’ financial position, results of operations and liquidity.


In August 2018, the FASB issued amendments to the guidance for internal use software through ASU 2018-15, “Intangibles - Goodwill and Other - Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Customer’s Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement That is a Service Contract.” The amendments align the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred in a hosting arrangement that is a service contract with the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred to develop or obtain internal-use software. For public entities, the amendments are effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2019, with early adoption permitted. The Companies elected to adopt the amendments in 2018, prospectively for all in-scope implementation costs incurred after the date of adoption. The impact of adoption on the Companies’ financial position, results of operations and liquidity was immaterial.

Under the revenue decoupling mechanisms in the Utilities’ New York electric and gas rate plans and the weather-normalization clause applicable to their gas businesses, revenues are generally not affected by changes in delivery volumes from levels assumed when rates were approved. In general, the utilities recover on a current basis the fuel, gas purchased for resale and purchased power costs they incur in supplying energy to their full-service customers. Accordingly, such costs do not generally affect Con Edison’s results of operations.

Other Income (Deductions)
Other income (deductions) increased $68 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2019 compared with the 2018 period due primarily to lower costs associated with components of pension and other postretirement benefits other than service cost.

Net Interest Expense
Net interest expense increased $37 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2019 compared with the 2018 period due primarily to higher interest expense for long-term ($10 million) and short-term ($7 million) debt, an increase in interest accrued on the TCJA related regulatory liability ($9 million) and interest accrued on the system benefit charge liability ($6 million).

Income Tax Expense
Income taxes decreased $3 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2019 compared with the 2018 period due primarily to an increase in the amortization of excess deferred federal income taxes due to the TCJA ($5 million) and higher research and development credits ($1 million), offset, in part, by lower tax benefits in 2019 for plant-related flow through items ($1 million) and higher non-deductible business expenses in the 2018 federal tax return due to the TCJA ($3 million). CECONY deferred as a regulatory liability its estimated net benefits for the 2018 period under the TCJA and continued to defer its estimated net benefits in 2019 for only its electric service.

Cash Flows from Operating Activities
The Utilities’ cash flows from operating activities reflect primarily their energy sales and deliveries and cost of operations. The volume of energy sales and deliveries is affected primarily by factors external to the Utilities, such as growth of customer demand, weather, market prices for energy and economic conditions. Measures that promote distributed energy resources, such as distributed generation, demand reduction and energy efficiency, also affect the volume of energy sales and deliveries. Under the revenue decoupling mechanisms in the Utilities’ New York electric and gas rate plans, changes in delivery volumes from levels assumed when rates were approved may affect the timing of cash flows, but generally not net income. The prices at which the Utilities provide energy to their customers are determined in accordance with their rate plans. In general, changes in the Utilities’ cost of purchased power, fuel and gas may affect the timing of cash flows, but not net income, because the costs are recovered in accordance with rate plans. Pursuant to their rate plans, the Utilities have recovered from customers a portion of the tax liability they will pay in the future as a result of temporary differences between the book and tax basis of assets and liabilities. These temporary differences affect the timing of cash flows, but not net income, as the Companies are required to record deferred tax assets and liabilities at the current corporate tax rate for the temporary differences. For the Utilities, credits to their customers of the net benefits of the TCJA, including the reduction of the corporate tax rate to 21 percent, decrease cash flows from operating activities. See “Other Regulatory Matters” in Note B to the FirstThird Quarter Financial Statements.


Net income is the result of cash and non-cash (or accrual) transactions. Only cash transactions affect the Companies’ cash flows from operating activities. Principal non-cash charges or credits include depreciation, deferred income tax expense, amortizations of certain regulatory assets and liabilities, and accrued unbilled revenue. Non-cash charges or credits may also be accrued under the revenue decoupling and cost reconciliation mechanisms in the Utilities’ New York electric and gas rate plans.


Net cash flows from operating activities for the threenine months ended March 31,September 30, 2019 for Con Edison and CECONY were $321$360 million and $339$405 million higher, respectively, than in the 2018 period. The changechanges in net cash flows for Con Edison and CECONY reflectsreflect primarily a change in the timing of pension and retiree benefit contributions ($180122 million and $180$114 million, respectively), lower storm restoration costs ($148185 million and $106$124 million, respectively) and, lower MTA power reliability costs ($62123 million and $62$123 million, respectively) in the 2019 period, and the absence in the 2019 period of cash payments, reimbursement received for Puerto Rico related restoration costs ($7795 million and $75$95 million, respectively), and for CECONY, lower net payments of income tax to affiliated companies ($255 million), offset, in part, by higher TCJA net benefits provided to customers in the 2019 period ($106289 million and $105$287 million, respectively).


The change in net cash flows also reflects the timing of payments for and recovery of energy costs. This timing is reflected within changes to accounts receivable – customers and recoverable and refundable energy costs within other regulatory assets and liabilities and accounts payable balances.

retrofits, the purchase of greenhouse gas offsets, the purchase of renewable energy credits and the use of clean distributed energy resources. CECONY is unable to predict the impact on it of the implementation of this law.


In June 2019, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency announced its Affordable Clean Energy (ACE) rule in conjunction with the repeal of its Clean Power Plan. In September 2019, Con Edison, as part of a coalition of public and private electric utilities, filed a petition in the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit to challenge the Environmental Protection Agency’s ACE rule and the repeal of the Clean Power Plan. The ACE rule could have potential cost implications for the utilities because it has the effect of limiting flexibility to use measures such as emissions trading and averaging to cost-effectively meet emissions limits. The ACE rule could also adversely impact initiatives to develop renewable energy sources and promote the use of electric vehicles.

In July 2019, New York State enacted a law that establishes a program requiring 70 percent of the electricity procured by load serving entities regulated by the NYSPSC to be produced by renewable energy systems by 2030, and requiring the statewide electrical demand system to have zero emissions by 2040. The law also codifies state targets for energy efficiency (end-use energy savings of 185 trillion British thermal units below 2025 energy-use forecast), offshore wind (9,000 megawatts (MW) by 2035), solar (6,000 MW by 2025) and energy storage (3,000 MW by 2030). In addition, the law establishes a climate action council to recommend measures to attain the law’s GHG limits, including measures to reduce emissions by displacing fossil-fuel fired electricity with renewable electricity or energy efficiency. The law requires the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation to issue regulations establishing statewide GHG emissions limits that are 60 percent of 1990 emissions levels by 2030 and 15 percent of 1990 emissions by 2050. The Utilities are unable to predict the impact on them of the implementation of this law.

Con Edison Development
In January 2019, PG&E filed for reorganization under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code. The output of Con
Edison Development renewable electric production projects with an aggregate of 680 MW (AC) of generating
capacity (PG&E Projects) is sold to PG&E under long-term power purchase agreements (PG&E PPAs). At
March 31, September 30, 2019, Con Edison’s consolidated balance sheet included $859$827 million of net non-utility plant relating
to the PG&E Projects, $1,108$1,075 million of intangible assets relating to the PG&E PPAs, $289$287 million of net non-utility
plant of additional projects that secure the related project debt and $1,041$1,012 million of non-recourse related project debt. The PG&E bankruptcy is an event of default under the PG&E PPAs. Pursuant to the related project debt agreements, distributions from the related projects to Con Edison Development have been suspended. Unless the lenders for the related project debt otherwise agree, the lenders may, upon written notice, declare principal and interest on the related project debt to be due and payable immediately and, if such amounts are not timely paid, foreclose on the related projects. See “Long-Lived and Intangible Assets” in Note A and Note C to the FirstThird Quarter Financial Statements.

Con Edison Transmission
CET Electric
In April 2019, the New York Independent System Operator (NYISO) selected a transmission project that was jointly proposed by National Grid and NY Transco ($600 million estimated cost, excluding certain interconnection costs that are not yet determined) that would increase transmission capacity by 1,850 MW between upstate and downstate when combined with another developer’s project that was also selected by the selected project to be developed by another developer for the other segment.NYISO. The siting, construction and operation of the projects will require approvals and permits from appropriate governmental agencies and authorities, including the NYSPSC. The NYISO indicated it will work with the developers to enter into agreements for the development and operation of the projects, including a schedule for entry into service by December 2023.


CET Gas 
In October 2019, the operator of the Mountain Valley Pipeline, which is being constructed by a joint venture in which CET Gas has a 12.5 percent ownership interest, indicated that it now expects a late 2020 full in-service date for the project at an overall project cost of $5,300 million to $5,500 million, excluding allowance for funds used during construction. CET Gas, as it is permitted to do under the joint venture agreement, plans to limit its cash contributions to the joint venture to approximately $530 million, in which case its ownership interest in the joint venture would be reduced to approximately 10 percent (based on the current project cost estimate). At September 30, 2019, CET Gas’s cash contributions to the joint venture amounted to $488 million.

Financial and Commodity Market Risks
The Companies are subject to various risks and uncertainties associated with financial and commodity markets. The most significant market risks include interest rate risk, commodity price risk and investment risk.


Interest Rate Risk
The Companies’ interest rate risk relates primarily to variable rate debt and to new debt financing needed to fund capital requirements, including the construction expenditures of the Utilities and maturing debt securities. Con Edison and its businessessubsidiaries manage interest rate risk through the issuance of mostly fixed-rate debt with varying maturities and through opportunistic refinancing of debt. The Clean Energy Businesses also use interest rate swaps. See Note L to the Third Quarter Financial Statements. Con Edison and CECONY estimate that at March 31,September 30, 2019, a 10 percent increase in interest rates applicable to its variable rate debt would result in an increase in annual interest expense of $9 million.$7 million and $4 million, respectively. Under CECONY’s current electric, gas

and steam rate plans, variations in actual variable rate tax-exempt debt interest expense are reconciled to levels reflected in rates.

Table of Contents


Commodity Price Risk
Con Edison’s commodity price risk relates primarily to the purchase and sale of electricity, gas and related derivative instruments. The Utilities and the Clean Energy Businesses apply risk management strategies to mitigate their related exposures. See Note L to the FirstThird Quarter Financial Statements.


Con Edison estimates that, as of March 31,September 30, 2019, a 10 percent decline in market prices would result in a decline in fair value of $63$83 million for the derivative instruments used by the Utilities to hedge purchases of electricity and gas, of which $57$78 million is for CECONY and $6$5 million is for O&R. Con Edison expects that any such change in fair value would be largely offset by directionally opposite changes in the cost of the electricity and gas purchased. In accordance with provisions approved by state regulators, the Utilities generally recover from customers the costs they incur for energy purchased for their customers, including gains and losses on certain derivative instruments used to hedge energy purchased and related costs.


The Clean Energy Businesses use a value-at-risk (VaR) model to assess the market price risk of their portfolio of electricity and gas commodity fixed-price purchase and sales commitments, physical forward contracts, generating assets and commodity derivative instruments. VaR represents the potential change in fair value of the portfolio due to changes in market prices, for a specified time period and confidence level. These businesses estimate VaR across their portfolio using a delta-normal variance/covariance model with a 95 percent confidence level, compare the measured VaR results against performance due to actual prices and stress test the portfolio each quarter using an assumed 30 percent price change from forecast. Since the VaR calculation involves complex methodologies and estimates and assumptions that are based on past experience, it is not necessarily indicative of future results. VaR for the portfolio, assuming a one-day holding period, for the threenine months ended March 31,September 30, 2019 and the year ended December 31, 2018, respectively, was as follows:

Investment Risk
The Companies’ investment risk relates to the investment of plan assets for their pension and other postretirement benefit plans and to the investments of Con Edison Transmission that are accounted for under the equity method.


The Companies’ current investment policy for pension plan assets includes investment targets of 45 to 55 percent
equity securities, 33 to 43 percent debt securities and 10 to 14 percent real estate. At March 31,September 30, 2019, the
pension plan investments consisted of 5250 percent equity securities, 39 percent debt securities and 911 percent real
estate.


For the Utilities’ pension and other postretirement benefit plans, regulatory accounting treatment is generally applied in accordance with the accounting rules for regulated operations. In accordance with the Statement of Policy issued by the NYSPSC and its current electric, gas and steam rate plans, CECONY defers for payment to or recovery from customers the difference between the pension and other postretirement benefit expenses and the amounts for such expenses reflected in rates. Generally, O&R also defers such difference pursuant to its rate plans.
