New Accounting Standards (All Registrants)
New Accounting Standards Adopted in 2019:In 2019, the second quarter of 2017, errors were identified related toRegistrants have adopted the Exelon, Generation, ComEd, PECO and BGE Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows forfollowing new authoritative accounting guidance issued by the three months ended March 31, 2017. These classification errors related to the presentation of changes in Accounts payable and accrued expenses and Accounts receivable within Cash flows provided by operating activities and Capital expenditures and Proceeds from sale of long-lived assets within Cash flows used in investing activities. These errors have been corrected in Exelon's, Generation's, ComEd's, PECO's, and BGE's Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for the three months ended March 31, 2017 that are presented in this first quarter 2018 Form 10-Q. As revised, the Cash flows provided by operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2017 are $1,074 million, $420 million, $236 million, $106 million and $208 million for Exelon, Generation, ComEd, PECO and BGE, respectively, an increase (decrease) of $(127) million, $(320) million, $91 million, $42 million and $40 million for Exelon, Generation, ComEd, PECO and BGE, respectively, from the originally reported amounts. As revised, the Cash flows used in investing activities are $2,283 million, $910 million, $619 million, $69 million and $202 million for Exelon, Generation, ComEd, PECO and BGE, respectively, an increase (decrease) of $(127) million, $(320) million, $91 million, $42 million and $40 million for Exelon, Generation, ComEd, PECO and BGE, respectively, from the originally reported amounts. Management concluded that the errors are not material to the previously issued financial statements.FASB.
CertainLeases. The Registrants applied the new guidance with the following transition practical expedients:
a "package of three" expedients that must be taken together and allow entities to (1) not reassess whether existing contracts contain leases, (2) carryforward the existing lease classification, and (3) not reassess initial direct costs associated with existing leases,
an implementation expedient which allows the requirements of the standard in the period of adoption with no restatement of prior year amountsperiods, and
a land easement expedient which allows entities to not evaluate land easements under the new standard at adoption if they were not previously accounted for as leases.
The standard materially impacted the Registrants' Consolidated Balance Sheets but did not have a material impact in the Registrants' Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income, Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows Consolidated Balance Sheets and Consolidated Statements of Changes in Shareholders' Equity have been recasted to reflect new accounting standards issued byEquity. The most significant impact was the FASB and adopted as of January 1, 2018.
Beginning on January 1, 2018, Exelon adopted the following new accounting standards requiring reclassification or adjustments to previously reported information as follows:
Statement of Cash Flows: Classification of Restricted Cash. The Registrants applied the new guidance using the full retrospective method and, accordingly, have recasted the presentation of restricted cash in their Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows in the prior periods presented. See Note 18 — Supplemental Financial Information for further information.  
Reclassification of Certain Tax Effects from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income.  Exelon early adopted and retrospectively applied the new guidance to when the effectsrecognition of the TCJA wereROU assets and lease liabilities for operating leases. The operating ROU assets and lease liabilities recognized and, accordingly, recasted its December 31, 2017 AOCI and retained earningsupon adoption are materially consistent with the balances presented in its Consolidated Balance Sheet and Consolidated Statement of Changes in Shareholders' Equity.  Exelon's accounting policy is to release the stranded tax effects from AOCI related to its pension and OPEB plans under a portfolio (or aggregate) approach as an entire pension or OPEB plan is liquidated or terminated. See Note 2 — New Accounting Standards for further information.  
Improving the Presentation of Net Periodic Pension Cost and Net Periodic Postretirement Benefit Cost. Exelon applied this guidance retrospectively for the presentation of the service and other non-service costs components of net benefit cost and, accordingly, have recasted those amounts, which were not material, in its Consolidated Statement of Operations and Comprehensive Income in prior periods presented. As part of the adoption, Exelon elected the practical expedient that permits an employer to use the amounts disclosed in its pension and other postretirement benefit plan note for the comparative periods as the estimation basis for applying the retrospective presentation requirements. See Note 14 — Retirement Benefits for further information.
Revenue from Contracts with Customers. The Registrants applied the new guidance using the full retrospective method and, accordingly, have recasted certain amounts in their Consolidated

Revenues (All Registrants)
Operating RevenuesThe Registrants’ operating revenues generally consist of revenues from contracts with customers involving the sale and delivery of energy commodities and related products and services, utility revenues from alternative revenue programs (ARP), and realized and unrealized revenues recognized under mark-to-market energy commodity derivative contracts. The Registrants recognize revenue from contracts with customers to depict the transfer of goods or services to customers in 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 natural gas tariff sales, distribution and transmission services. At the end of each month, the Registrants accrue an estimate for the unbilled amount of energy delivered or services provided to customers.
ComEd records ARP revenue for its best estimate of the electric distribution, energy efficiency, and transmission revenue impacts resulting from future changes in rates that ComEd believes are probable of approval by the ICC and FERC in accordance with its formula rate mechanisms. BGE, Pepco and DPL record ARP revenue for their best estimate of the electric and natural gas distribution revenue impacts resulting from future changes in rates that they believe are probable of approval by the MDPSC and/or DCPSC in accordance with their revenue decoupling mechanisms. PECO, BGE, Pepco, DPL and ACE record ARP revenue for their best estimate of the transmission revenue impacts resulting from future changes in rates that they believe are probable of approval by FERC in accordance with their formula rate mechanisms. See Note 5 — Revenue from Contracts with Customers and Note 6 —Regulatory Matters for further information.
RTOs and ISOsIn RTO and ISO markets that facilitate the dispatch of energy and energy-related products, the Registrants generally report sales and purchases conducted on a net hourly basis in either revenues or purchased power on their Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income, the classification of which depends on the net hourly sale or purchase position. In addition, capacity revenue and expense classification is based on the net sale or purchase position of the Registrants in the different RTOs and ISOs.
Option Contracts, Swaps and Commodity DerivativesCertain option contracts and swap arrangements that meet the definition of derivative instruments are recorded at fair value with subsequent changes in fair value recognized as revenue or expense. The classification of revenue or expense is based on the intent of the transaction. For example, gas transactions may be used to hedge the sale of power. This will result in the change in fair value recorded through revenue. To the extent a Utility Registrant receives full cost recovery for energy procurement and related costs from retail customers, it records the fair value of its energy swap contracts with unaffiliated suppliers as well as an offsetting regulatory asset or liability on its Consolidated Balance Sheets. Refer to Note 6 — Regulatory Matters and Note 10 — Derivative Financial Instruments for further information.
Taxes Directly Imposed on Revenue-Producing Transactions. The Registrants collect certain taxes from customers such as sales and gross receipts taxes, along with other taxes, surcharges and fees that are levied by state or local governments on the sale or distribution of natural gas and electricity. Some of these taxes are imposed on the customer, but paid by the Registrants, while others are imposed directly on the Registrants. The Registrants do not recognize revenue or expense in their Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income when these taxes are imposed on the customer, such as sales taxes. However, when these taxes are imposed directly on the Registrants, such as gross receipts taxes or other surcharges or fees, the Registrants recognize revenue for the taxes collected from customers along with an offsetting expense. See Note 18 — Supplemental Financial Information for Generation’s, ComEd’s, PECO’s, BGE’s, Pepco’s, DPL’s and ACE’s utility taxes that are presented on a gross basis.

2.    New Accounting Standards (All Registrants)
New Accounting Standards Adopted: In 2018, the Registrants have adopted the following new authoritative accounting guidance issued by the FASB.
Reclassification of Certain Tax Effects from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Issued February 2018): Provides an election for a reclassification from AOCI to Retained earnings to eliminate the stranded tax effects resulting from the TCJA. This standard is effective January 1, 2019, with early adoption permitted, and may be applied either in the period of adoption or retrospective to each period in which the effects of the TCJA were recognized. Exelon early adopted this standard during the first quarter 2018 and elected to apply the guidance retrospectively as of December 31, 2017, which resulted in an increase to Exelon’s Retained earnings and Accumulated other comprehensive loss of $539 million related to deferred income taxes associated with Exelon’s pension and OPEB obligations. There was no impact for Generation, ComEd, PECO, BGE, PHI, Pepco, DPL or ACE.
See Note 1 — Significant Accounting Policies of the Exelon 20172018 Form 10-K for additional information on other new accounting standards issued and adopted as of January 1, 2018.2019.
New Accounting Standards Issued and Not Yet Adopted as of March 31, 2018: 2019:The following new authoritative accounting guidance issued by the FASB has not yet been adopted and reflected by the Registrants in their consolidated financial statements as of March 31, 2018.2019. Unless otherwise indicated, the Registrants are currently assessing the impacts such guidance may have (which could be material) onin their Consolidated Balance Sheets, Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income, Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows and disclosures, as well as the potential to early adopt where applicable. The Registrants have assessed other FASB issuances of new standards which are not listed below given the current expectation that such standards will not significantly impact the Registrants' financial reporting.
LeasesGoodwill Impairment (Issued February 2016):January 2017). Increases transparencySimplifies 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. Exelon, Generation, ComEd, PHI and comparability among organizations by recognizing lease assets and lease liabilities onDPL have goodwill as of March 31, 2019. This updated guidance is not currently expected to impact the balance sheet and disclosing key information about leasing arrangements.Registrants’ financial reporting. The standard is effective January 1, 2019. Early2020, with early adoption is permitted, however the Registrants will not early adopt the standard. The issued guidance required a modified retrospective transition approach, which requires lessees and lessors to recognize and measure leases at the beginning of the earliest period presented (January 1, 2017). In January 2018, the FASB proposed amending the standard to give entities another option for transition. The proposed transition method would allow entities to initially apply the requirements of the standard in the period of adoption (January 1, 2019). The Registrants will assess this transition option when the FASB issues the standard.
The new guidance requires lessees to recognize both the right-of-use assets and lease liabilities in the balance sheet for most leases, whereas today only finance lease liabilities (referred to as capital leases) are recognized in the balance sheet. In addition, the definition of a lease has been revised which may result in changes to the classification of an arrangement as a lease. Under the new guidance, an arrangement that conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset by obtaining substantially all of its economic benefits and directing how it is used is a lease, whereas the current definition focuses on the ability to control the use of the asset or to obtain its output. Quantitative and qualitative disclosures related to the amount, timing and judgments of an entity’s accounting for leases and the related cash flows are expanded. Disclosure requirements apply to both lessees and lessors, whereas current disclosures relate only to lessees. Significant changes to lease systems, processes and procedures are required to implement the requirements of the new standard. The recognition, measurement, and presentation of expenses and cash flows arising from a lease by a lessee have not significantly changed from current GAAP. Lessor accounting is also largely unchanged.
The standard provides a number of transition practical expedients that entities may elect. These include a "package of three" expedients that must be taken together and allow entities to (1) not reassess

63

Table of Contents

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

whether existing contracts contain leases, (2) carryforward the existing lease classification, and (3) not reassess initial direct costs associated with existing leases. The Registrants expect to elect this practical expedient.
In January 2018, the FASB issued additional guidance which provides another optional transition practical expedient. This practical expedient allows entities to not evaluate land easements under the new guidance at adoption if they were not previously accounted for as leases.
The Registrants have assessed the lease standard and are executingapplied on a detailed implementation plan in preparation for adoption on January 1, 2019. Key activities in the implementation plan include:
Developing a complete lease inventory and abstracting the required data attributes into a lease accounting system that supports the Registrants' lease portfolios and integrates with existing systems.
Evaluating the transition practical expedients available under the guidance.
Identifying, assessing and documenting technical accounting issues, policy considerations and financial reporting implications which includes completing a detailed contract assessment for a sample of transactions to determine whether they are leases under the new guidance.
Identifying and implementing changes to processes and controls to ensure all impacts of the new guidance are effectively addressed.prospective basis.
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 the entity’s current estimate of credit losses expected to be incurred over the life of the financial instrument. The standard does not make changes to the existing impairment models for non-financial assets such as fixed assets, intangibles and goodwill. The standard will be effective January 1, 2020 (with early adoption as of January 1, 2019 permitted) and requires a modified retrospective transition approach through a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings as of the beginning of the period of adoption.
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. Exelon, Generation, ComEd, PHI and DPL have goodwill as of March 31, 2018. This updated guidance is not currently expected to impact the Registrants’ financial reporting. The standard is effective January 1, 2020, with early adoption permitted, and must be applied on a prospective basis.
Derivatives and Hedging (Issued September 2017): Allows more financial and nonfinancial hedging strategies to be eligible for hedge accounting. The amendments are intended to more closely align hedge accounting with companies’ risk management strategies, simplify the application of hedge accounting, and increase transparency as to the scope and results of hedging programs. There are also amendments related to effectiveness testing and disclosure requirements. The guidance is effective January 1, 2019 and early adoption is permitted with a modified retrospective transition approach. The Registrants are currently assessing this standard but do not currently expect a significant impact given the limited activity for which the Registrants elect hedge accounting and because the Registrants do not anticipate increasing their use of hedge accounting as a resultimpacts of this standard.

3.Leases (All Registrants)
The Registrants recognize a ROU asset and lease liability for operating leases with a term of greater than one year. The ROU asset is included in Other deferred debits and other assets and the lease liability is included in Other current liabilities and Other deferred credits and other liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The ROU asset is measured as the sum of (1) the present value of all remaining fixed and in-substance fixed payments using each Registrant’s incremental borrowing rate, (2) any lease payments made at or before the commencement date (less any lease incentives received) and (3) any initial direct costs incurred. The lease liability is measured the same as the ROU asset, but excludes any payments made before the commencement date and initial direct costs incurred. Lease terms include options to extend or terminate the lease if it is reasonably certain they will be exercised. The Registrants include non-lease components, which are service-related costs that are not integral to the use of the asset, in the measurement of the ROU asset and lease liability.
Expense for operating leases and leases with a term of one year or less is recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease, unless another systematic and rational basis is more representative of the derivation of benefit from use of the leased property. Variable lease payments are recognized in the period in which the related obligation is incurred and consist primarily of payments for purchases of electricity under contracted generation and are based on the electricity produced by those generating assets. Operating lease expense and variable lease payments are recorded to Purchased power and fuel expense for contracted generation or Operating and maintenance expense for all other lease agreements on the Registrants’ Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income.
Income from operating leases, including subleases, is recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease, unless another systematic and rational basis is more representative of the pattern in which income is earned over the term of the lease. Variable lease payments are recognized in the period in which the related obligation is performed and consist primarily of payments received from sales of electricity under contracted generation and are based on the electricity produced by those generating assets. Operating lease income and variable lease payments are recorded to Operating revenues on the Registrants’ Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income.
The Registrants’ operating leases consist primarily of contracted generation, real estate including office buildings, and vehicles and equipment. The Registrants generally account for contracted generation in which the generating asset is not renewable as a lease if the customer has dispatch rights and obtains substantially all of the economic benefits. For new agreements entered after January 1, 2019, the Registrants will generally not account for contracted generation in which the generating asset is renewable as a lease if the customer does not design the generating asset. The Registrants account for land right arrangements that provide for exclusive use as leases while shared use land arrangements are generally not leases. The Registrants do not account for secondary use pole attachments as leases.
See Note 5 —Leases for additional information.
2. Variable Interest Entities (All Registrants)
A VIE is a legal entity that possesses any of the following characteristics: an insufficient amount of equity at risk to finance its activities, equity owners who do not have the power to direct the significant activities of the entity (or have voting rights that are disproportionate to their ownership interest) or equity owners who do not have the obligation to absorb expected losses or the right to receive the expected residual returns of the entity. Companies are required to consolidate a VIE if they are its primary beneficiary, which is the enterprise that has the power to direct the activities that most significantly affect the entity’s economic performance.
At March 31, 20182019 and December 31, 2017,2018, Exelon, Generation, PHI and ACE collectively consolidated five VIEs or VIE groups for which the applicable Registrant was the primary beneficiary (see(see Consolidated Variable Interest Entities below). As of March 31, 20182019 and December 31, 2017,2018, Exelon and Generation collectively had significant interests in seven 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(see Unconsolidated Variable Interest Entities below).

3. Mergers, Acquisitions and Dispositions (Exelon and Generation)
TableDisposition of ContentsOyster Creek
On July 31, 2018, Generation entered into an agreement with Holtec International (Holtec) and its indirect wholly owned subsidiary, Oyster Creek Environmental Protection, LLC (OCEP), for the sale and decommissioning of Oyster Creek located in Forked River, New Jersey. On September 17, 2018, Oyster Creek permanently ceased generation operations.
Under the terms of the transaction, Generation will transfer to OCEP substantially all the assets associated with Oyster Creek, including assets held in NDT funds, along with the assumption of liability for all responsibility for the site, including full decommissioning and ongoing management of spent fuel until the spent fuel is moved offsite. In addition to the assumption of liability for the full decommissioning and ongoing management of spent fuel, other consideration to be received in the transaction is contingent on several factors, including a requirement that Generation deliver a minimum NDT fund balance at closing, subject to adjustment for specific terms that include income taxes that would be imposed on any net unrealized built-in gains and certain decommissioning activities to be performed during the pre-close period after the unit shuts down in the fall of 2018 and prior to the anticipated close of the transaction. The terms of the transaction also include various forms of performance assurance for the obligations of OCEP to timely complete the required decommissioning, including a parental guaranty from Holtec for all performance and payment obligations of OCEP, and a requirement for Holtec to deliver a letter of credit to Generation upon the occurrence of specified events.

4. Mergers, Acquisitions and Dispositions (Exelon and Generation)
Acquisition of Handley Generating Station (Exelon and Generation)
On November 7, 2017, EGTP and all of its wholly owned subsidiaries filed voluntary petitions for relief under Chapter 11 of Title 11As a result of the United States Code in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware, which resulted in Exelon and Generation deconsolidating EGTP's assets and liabilities from their consolidated financial statements in the fourth quarter of 2017. Concurrently with the Chapter 11 filings, Generation entered into an asset purchase agreement to acquire one of EGTP's generating plants, the Handley Generating Station, subject to a potential adjustment for fuel oil and assumption of certain liabilities. In the Chapter 11 Filings, EGTP requested that the proposed acquisition of the Handley Generating Station be consummated through a court-approved and supervised sales process. The acquisition was approved by the Bankruptcy Court in January 2018 and closed on April 4, 2018 for a purchase price of $62 million. The Chapter 11 bankruptcy proceedings were finalized on April 17, 2018, resulting in the ownership of EGTP assets (other than the Handley Generating Station) being transferred to EGTP's lenders.
Acquisition of James A. FitzPatrick Nuclear Generating Station (Exelon and Generation)
On March 31, 2017, Generation acquired the 842 MW single-unit James A. FitzPatrick (FitzPatrick) nuclear generating station located in Scriba, New York from Entergy Nuclear FitzPatrick LLC (Entergy) for a total purchase price of $289 million, which consisted of a cash purchase price of $110 million and a net cost reimbursement to and on behalf of Entergy of $179 million. As part of the acquisition agreements, Generation provided nuclear fuel and reimbursed Entergy for incremental costs to prepare for and conduct a plant refueling outage; and Generation reimbursed Entergy for incremental costs to operate and maintain the plant for the period after the refueling outage through the acquisition closing date. These reimbursements covered costs that Entergy otherwise would have avoided had it shut down the plant as originally intended in January 2017. The amounts reimbursed by Generation were offset by FitzPatrick's electricity and capacity sales revenues for this same post-outage period. As part of the transaction, Generation received the FitzPatrick NDT fund assets and assumed the obligation to decommission FitzPatrick. The NRC license for FitzPatrick expires in 2034.
The fair values of FitzPatrick’s assets and liabilities were determined based on significant estimates and assumptions that are judgmental in nature, including projected future cash flows (including timing), discount rates reflecting risk inherent in the future cash flows and future power and fuel market prices. The valuations performed in the first quarter of 2017 to determine the fair value of the FitzPatrick assets acquired and liabilities assumed were updated in the third quarter of 2017. The purchase price allocation is now final.
For the three months ended2018, Exelon and Generation reclassified certain Oyster Creek assets and liabilities in Exelon’s and Generation’s Consolidated Balance Sheets as held for sale at their respective fair values. Exelon and Generation had $888 million and $765 million of Assets and Liabilities held for sale, respectively, at March 31, 2017, an after-tax bargain purchase gain2019 and $897 million and $777 million of $226 million is included within Exelon'sAssets and Generation's Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income and primarily reflects differences in strategies between Generation and EntergyLiabilities held for the intended use and ultimate decommissioningsale, respectively, at December 31, 2018. Upon remeasurement of the plant. DuringOyster Creek ARO in the third quarter of 2017,2018, Exelon and Generation recordedrecognized an additional after-tax bargain purchase gain of $7$84 million for the three months ended September 30, 2017. The total after-tax bargain purchase gain recorded at Exelon and Generation was $233 million for the twelve months ended December 31, 2017. See Note 13 — Nuclear Decommissioning and Note 14 — Retirement Benefits for additional information regarding the FitzPatrick decommissioning ARO and pension and OPEB updates.

5.4. 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. The performance obligations associated
See Note 3 — Revenue from Contracts with theseCustomers of the Exelon 2018 Form 10-K for additional information regarding the primary sources of revenue are further discussed below.
Unless otherwise noted, for each of the significant revenue categories and related performance obligations described below, the Registrants have the right to consideration from the customer in an amount that corresponds directly with the value transferred to the customer for the performance completed to date. Therefore, the Registrant's have elected to use the right to invoice practical expedient for the contracts within these revenue categories and generally recognize revenue in the amount for which they have the right to invoice the customer. As a result, there are generally no significant judgments used in determining or allocating the transaction price.
Competitive Power Sales (Exelon and Generation)
Generation sells power and other energy-related commodities to both wholesale and retail customers across multiple geographic regions through its customer-facing business, Constellation. Power sale contracts generally contain various performance obligations including the delivery of power and other energy-related commodities such as capacity, ZECs, RECs or other ancillary services. Revenues related to such contracts are generally recognized over time as the power is generated and simultaneously delivered to the customer. However, revenues related to the sale of any goods or services that are not simultaneously received and consumed by the customer are recognized as the performance obligations are satisfied at a point in time. Payment terms generally require that the customers pay for the power or the energy-related commodity within the month following delivery to the customer and there are generally no significant financing components.
Certain contracts may contain limits on the total amount of revenue we are able to collect over the entire term of the contract. In such cases, the Registrants estimate the total consideration expected to be received over the term of the contract net of the constraint, and allocate the expected consideration to the performance obligations in the contract such that revenue is recognized ratably over the term of the entire contract as the performance obligations are satisfied.
Competitive Natural Gas Sales (Exelon and Generation)
Generation sells natural gas on a full requirements basis or for an agreed upon volume to both commercial and residential customers. The primary performance obligation associated with natural gas sale contracts is the delivery of the natural gas to the customer. Revenues related to the sale of natural gas are recognized over time as the natural gas is delivered to and consumed by the customer. Payment from customers is typically due within the month following delivery of the natural gas to the customer and there are generally no significant financing components.
Other Competitive Products and Services (Exelon and Generation)
Generation also sells other energy-related products and services such as long-term construction and installation of energy efficiency assets and new power generating facilities, primarily to commercial and industrial customers. These contracts generally contain a single performance obligation, which is the construction and/or installation of the asset for the customer. The average contract term for these projects is approximately 18 months. Revenues, and associated costs, are recognized throughout the contract term using an input method to measure progress towards completion. The method recognizes revenue based on the various inputs used to satisfy the performance obligation, such as costs incurred

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

and total labor hours expended. The total amount of revenue that will be recognized is based on the agreed upon contractually-stated amount. Payments from customers are typically due within 30 or 45 days from the date the invoice is generated and sent to the customer.
Regulated Electric and Gas Tariff Sales (Exelon, ComEd, PECO, BGE, PHI, Pepco, DPL and ACE)
The Utility Registrants sell electricity and electricity distribution services to residential, commercial, industrial and governmental customers through regulated tariff rates approved by their state regulatory commissions. PECO, BGE and DPL also sell natural gas and gas distribution services to residential, commercial, and industrial customers through regulated tariff rates approved by their state regulatory commissions. The performance obligation associated with these tariff sale contracts is the delivery of electricity and/or natural gas. Tariff sales are generally considered daily contracts given that customers can discontinue service at any time. Revenues are generally recognized over time (each day) as the electricity and/or natural gas is delivered to customers. Payment terms generally require that customers pay for the services within the month following delivery of the electricity or natural gas to the customer and there are generally no significant financing components or variable consideration.
Electric and natural gas utility customers have the choice to purchase electricity or natural gas from competitive electric generation and natural gas suppliers. While the Utility Registrants are required under state legislation to bill their customers for the supply and distribution of electricity and/or natural gas, they recognize revenue related only to the distribution services when customers purchase their electricity or natural gas from competitive suppliers.
Regulated Transmission Services (Exelon, ComEd, PECO, BGE, PHI, Pepco, DPL and ACE)
Under FERC’s open access transmission policy, the Utility Registrants, as owners of transmission facilities, are required to provide open access to their transmission facilities under filed tariffs at cost-based rates approved by FERC. The Utility Registrants are members of PJM, the regional transmission organization designated by FERC to coordinate the movement of wholesale electricity in PJM’s region, which includes portions of the mid-Atlantic and Midwest. In accordance with FERC-approved rules, the Utility Registrants and other transmission owners in the PJM region make their transmission facilities available to PJM, which directs and controls the operation of these transmission facilities and accordingly compensates the Utility Registrants and other transmission owners. The performance obligations associated with the Utility Registrants’ contract with PJM include (i) Network Integration Transmission Services (NITS), (ii) scheduling, system control and dispatch services, and (iii) access to the wholesale grid. These performance obligations are satisfied over time, and Utility Registrants utilize output methods to measure the progress towards their completion. Passage of time is used for NITS and access to the wholesale grid and MWhs of energy transported over the wholesale grid is used for scheduling, system control and dispatch services. PJM pays the Utility Registrants for these services on a weekly basis and there are no financing components or variable consideration.
Costs to Obtain or Fulfill a Contract with a Customer (Exelon and Generation)
Generation incurs incremental costs in order to execute certain retail power and gas sales contracts. These costs primarily relate to retail broker fees and sales commissions. Generation has capitalized such contract acquisition costs in the amount of $25 million and $26 million as of March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively, within Other current assets and Other deferred debits in Exelon’s and Generation’s Consolidated Balance Sheets. These costs are capitalized when incurred and amortized using the straight-line method over the average length of such retail contracts, which is approximately 2 years. Exelon and Generation recognized amortization expense associated with these costs in the amount of $5 million and $9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively, within Operating and maintenance expense in Exelon’s and Generation’s Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income. Generation does not incur material costs to fulfill contracts

The revenue requirement for 2019 and annual reconciliation for 2018 provides for a weighted average debt and equity return on distribution rate base of 6.53%. See Note 4 — Regulatory Matters of the Exelon 2018 Form 10-K for additional information on ComEd's distribution formula rate filings.
Transmission Formula Rates
Pending Transmission Formula Rate (Exelon and PECO). On May 1, 2017, PECO filed a request with FERC seeking approval to update its transmission rates and change the manner in which PECO’s transmission rate is determined from a fixed rate to a formula rate. The formula rate will be updated annually to ensure that under this rate customers pay the actual costs of providing transmission services. The formula rate filing includes a requested increase of $22 million to PECO’s annual transmission revenues and a requested rate of return on common equity of 11%, inclusive of a 50 basis point adder for being a member of a regional transmission organization. PECO requested that the new transmission rate be effective as of July 2017. On June 27, 2017, FERC issued an Order accepting the filing and suspending the proposed rates until December 1, 2017, subject to refund, and set the matter for hearing and settlement judge procedures. On May 4, 2018, the Chief Administrative Law Judge terminated settlement judge procedures and designated a new presiding judge. On February 8, 2019, PECO and the active parties reached an agreement in principle to settle this case. The presiding Administrative Law Judge has since suspended the procedural schedule in order for PECO and the active parties to continue working towards finalizing a settlement. On April 15, 2019, PECO and the active parties filed a status update with the presiding Administrative

Law Judge requesting an additional 45 days to file a settlement. PECO cannot predict the outcome of regulatory and legislative proceedingsthis proceeding, or the transmission formula FERC may approve.
On May 11, 2018, pursuant to the transmission formula rate request discussed above, PECO made its first annual formula rate update, which included a revenue decrease of $6 million. The revenue decrease of $6 million included an approximately $20 million reduction as a result of the Registrants. tax savings associated with the TCJA. The updated transmission rate was effective June 1, 2018, subject to refund.
Other State Regulatory Matters
New Jersey Regulatory Matters
ACE Infrastructure Investment Program Filing (Exelon, PHI and ACE). On February 28, 2018, ACE filed with the NJBPU the company’s Infrastructure Investment Program (IIP) proposing to seek recovery of a series of investments through a new rider mechanism, totaling $338 million, between 2019-2022 to provide safe and reliable service for its customers. The IIP allows for more timely recovery of investments made to modernize and enhance ACE’s electric system. On April 15, 2019, ACE entered into a settlement agreement with other parties, which allows for a recovery totaling $96 million of reliability related capital investments from July 1, 2019 through June 30, 2023. On April 18, 2019, the NJBPU approved the settlement agreement.
New Jersey Clean Energy Legislation (Exelon and ACE).On May 23, 2018, New Jersey enacted legislation that established and modified New Jersey’s clean energy and energy efficiency programs and solar and renewable energy portfolio standards. On the same day, 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. Electric distribution utilities in New Jersey, including ACE, must begin collecting from retail distribution customers, through a non-bypassable charge, all costs associated with the utility’s procurement of the ZECs effective April 18, 2019. See Generation Regulatory Matters below for additional information.
Other Federal Regulatory Matters
Transmission-Related Income Tax Regulatory Assets (Exelon, ComEd, BGE, PHI, Pepco, DPL and ACE). ComEd’s, BGE’s, Pepco’s, DPL’s and ACE’s transmission formula rates currently do not provide for the pass back or recovery of income tax-related regulatory liabilities or assets, including those established upon enactment of the TCJA.
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. ComEd, Pepco, DPL and ACE had similar transmission-related income tax regulatory liabilities and assets also requiring FERC approval. 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. As a result of the FERC’s order, ComEd, BGE, Pepco, DPL and ACE took a charge to Income tax expense within their Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income in the fourth quarter of 2017 reducing their associated transmission-related income tax regulatory assets for the portion of the total transmission-related income tax regulatory assets that would have been previously amortized and recovered through rates. Similar regulatory assets and liabilities at PECO are not subject to the same FERC transmission rate recovery formula. See above for additional information regarding PECO's transmission formula rate filing.
On December 18, 2017, BGE filed for clarification and rehearing of FERC’s November 16, 2017 order and 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 BGE’s December 18, 2017 request for rehearing and clarification and ComEd's, Pepco's, DPL's and ACE's February 23, 2018 (as amended on July 9, 2018) filings, citing the lack of timeliness of the requests to recover amounts that would have been previously amortized, but indicating

that ongoing recovery of certain transmission-related income tax regulatory assets would provide for a more accurate revenue requirement, consistent with its November 16, 2017 order.
On October 1, 2018, ComEd, BGE, Pepco, DPL, and ACE submitted filings to recover ongoing non-TCJA amortization amounts and refund TCJA transmission-related income tax regulatory liabilities for the prospective period starting on October 1, 2018. In addition, on October 9, 2018, ComEd, Pepco, DPL, and ACE sought rehearing of FERC's September 7, 2018 order. 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 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. ComEd, BGE, Pepco, DPL, and ACE cannot predict the outcome of these proceedings.
If FERC ultimately rules that the future, ongoing non-TCJA amortization amounts are not recoverable, Exelon, ComEd, BGE, PHI, Pepco, DPL and ACE would record additional charges to Income tax expense, which could be up to approximately $76 million, $51 million, $15 million, $10 million, $3 million, $5 million and $2 million, respectively, as of March 31, 2019.

Generation Regulatory Matters (Exelon and Generation)
Illinois Regulatory Matters
Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (Exelon and ComEd). On January 18, 2018, the ICC approved ComEd's petition filed on January 5, 2018 seeking approval to pass back to customers beginning February 1, 2018 $201 million in tax savings resulting from the enactment of the TCJA through a reduction in electric distribution rates. The amounts being passed back to customers reflect the benefit of lower income tax rates beginning January 1, 2018 and the settlement of a portion of deferred income tax regulatory liabilities established upon enactment of the TCJA. Refer to Note 12 — Income Taxes for more detail on Corporate Tax Reform.
Electric Distribution Formula Rate (Exelon and ComEd). On April 16, 2018, ComEd filed its annual distribution formula rate update with the ICC. The filing establishes the revenue requirement used to set the rates that will take effect in January 2019 after the ICC’s review and approval, which is due by December 2018. The revenue requirement requested is based on 2017 actual costs plus projected 2018 capital additions as well as an annual reconciliation of the revenue requirement in effect in 2017 to the actual costs incurred that year. ComEd's 2018 filing request includes a total decrease to the revenue requirement of $23 million, reflecting a decrease of $58 million for the initial revenue requirement for 2018 and an increase of $35 million related to the annual reconciliation for 2017. The revenue requirement for 2018 provides for a weighted average debt and equity return on distribution rate base of 6.52% inclusive of an allowed ROE of 8.69%, reflecting the average rate on 30-year treasury notes plus 580 basis points. The annual reconciliation for 2017 provided for a weighted average debt and equity return on distribution rate base of 6.52% inclusive of an allowed ROE of 8.69%, reflecting the average rate on 30-year treasury notes plus 580 basis points. See table below for ComEd's regulatory

assets associated with its electric distribution formula rate. For additional information on ComEd's distribution formula rate filings see Note 3 — Regulatory Matters of the Exelon 2017 Form 10-K.
During the first quarter 2018, ComEd revised its electric distribution formula rate, as provided for by FEJA, to reduce the ROE collar calculation from plus or minus 50 basis points to 0 basis points beginning with the reconciliation filed in 2018 for the 2017 calendar year. This revision effectively offsets the favorable or unfavorable impacts to ComEd's electric distribution formula rate revenues associated with variations in delivery volumes associated with above or below normal weather, numbers of customers or usage per customer. ComEd began reflecting the impacts of this change in its electric distribution services costs regulatory asset in the first quarter 2017.
Zero Emission Standard (Exelon, Generation and ComEd). Standard.Pursuant to FEJA, on January 25, 2018, the ICC announced that Generation’s Clinton Unit 1, Quad Cities Unit 1 and Quad Cities Unit 2 nuclear plants were selected as the winning bidders through the IPA's ZEC procurement event. Generation executed the ZEC procurement contracts with Illinois utilities, including ComEd, effective January 26, 2018 and began recognizing revenue. Winning bidders are entitled torevenue with compensation for the sale of ZECs retroactive to the June 1, 2017 effective date of FEJA. InDuring the first quarter ofthree months ended March 31, 2018, Generation recognized approximately $202$150 million of revenue of which $150 million related to ZECs generated from June 1, 2017 through December 31, 2017.
ComEd recovers all costs associated with purchasing ZECs through a rate rider that provides for an annual reconciliation and true-up to actual costs incurred by ComEd to purchase ZECs, with any difference to be credited to or collected from ComEd’s retail customers in subsequent periods with interest. ComEd began billing its retail customers under its new ZEC rate rider on June 1, 2017.
On February 14, 2017, two lawsuits were filed in the Northern District of Illinois against the IPA alleging that the state’s ZEC program violates certain provisions of the U.S. Constitution. One lawsuit was filed by customers of ComEd, led by the Village of Old Mill Creek, and the other was brought by the EPSA and three other electric suppliers. Both lawsuits argueargued that the Illinois ZEC program willwould distort PJM's FERC-approved energy and capacity market auction system of setting wholesale prices and seeksought a permanent injunction preventing the implementation of the program. Exelon intervened and filed motions to dismiss in both lawsuits. In addition, on March 31, 2017, plaintiffs in bothThe lawsuits filed motions for preliminary injunction with the court; the court stayed briefing on the motions for preliminary injunction until the resolution of the motions to dismiss.On July 14, 2017,were dismissed by the district court grantedon July 14, 2017. On September 13, 2018, the motions to dismiss. On July 17, 2017, the plaintiffs appealed the decision to the Seventh Circuit. Briefs were fully submitted on December 12, 2017, theU.S. Circuit Court heard oral argument on January 3, 2018. At the argument, the Court askedof Appeals for supplemental briefing, which was filed on January 26, 2018. On February 21, 2018, the Seventh Circuit issued an order invitingaffirmed the Solicitor General to express the viewslower court's dismissal of both lawsuits. On January 7, 2019, plaintiffs filed a petition seeking U.S. Supreme Court review of the United Statescase which was denied on the matter, however the timing of that response is currently uncertain. Exelon cannot predict the outcome of these lawsuits. It is possible that resolution of these matters could have a material, unfavorable impact on Exelon’s and Generation’s results of operations, cash flows, and financial positions.
See Note 8 — Early Plant Retirements for additional information regarding the economic challenges facing Generation’s Clinton and Quad Cities nuclear plants and the expected benefits of the ZES.
Pennsylvania Regulatory Matters
2018 Pennsylvania Electric Distribution Base Rate Case (Exelon and PECO). On March 29, 2018, PECO filed a request with the PAPUC seeking approval to increase its electric distribution base rates by $82 million beginning January 1,April 15, 2019. This requested amount includes the effect of an approximately $71 million reduction as a result of the ongoing annual tax savings beginning January 1, 2019 associated with the TCJA. The requested ROE is 10.95%. PECO expects a decision on its electric

Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (Exelon and PECO). As part of the rate case filing referenced above, PECO is seeking approval to pass back to electric distribution customers $68 million in 2018 TCJA tax savings, which would be an additional offset to the proposed increase to its electric distribution rates. PECO will file with the PAPUC in 2018 seeking approval to pass back to gas distribution customers $4 million in TCJA tax savings beginning January 1, 2019. The amounts being proposed to be passed back to customers reflect the annual benefit of lower income tax rates established upon enactment of the TCJA. PECO cannot predict the amount or timing of the refunds the PAPUC will ultimately approve. See Note 12 — Income Taxes for more detail on Corporate Tax Reform and the table below for regulatory liabilities recognized during 2018 associated with TCJA tax savings that will be passed through future customer rates.
Maryland Regulatory Matters

New York Regulatory Matters
New York Clean Energy Standard (Exelon and Generation). Standard.On August 1, 2016, the New York Public Service Commission (NYPSC)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. The ZEC price for the first tranche has been set at $17.48 per MWh of production. Following the first tranche, the price will be updated bi-annually.
On October 19, 2016, a coalition of fossil-generation companies filed a complaint in federal district court against the NYPSC alleging that the ZEC program violates certain provisions of the U.S. Constitution; specifically, that the ZEC program interferes with FERC’s jurisdiction over wholesale rates and that it discriminates against out of state competitors.competitors, which was dismissed by the district court on July 25, 2017. On December 9, 2016, Generation and CENGSeptember 27, 2018, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit affirmed the lower court's dismissal of the complaint against the ZEC program. On January 7, 2019, the fossil-generation companies filed a motion to intervene inpetition seeking U.S. Supreme Court review of the case and to dismiss the lawsuit. The State also filed a motion to dismiss. On July 25, 2017, the court granted both motions to dismiss. On August 24, 2017, plaintiffs appealed the decision to the Second Circuit.

In addition, on November 30, 2016 (as amended on January 13, 2017), a group of parties including certain environmental groups and individuals, filed a Petition in New York State court seeking to invalidate the ZEC program. The Petition,program, which was amended on January 13, 2017, 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 (SAPA) when adopting the ZEC program. On February 15, 2017,Subsequently, Generation, CENG and CENGthe NYPSC filed a motionmotions to dismiss the state court action. The NYPSC also filed a motion to dismissaction, which were later opposed by the state court action. On March 24, 2017, the plaintiffs filed a memorandum of law opposing the motions to dismiss, and Generation and CENG filed a reply brief on April 28, 2017.

Federal Regulatory Matters
Tax Cuts and Jobs Act and Transmission-Related Income Tax Regulatory Assets (Exelon, ComEd, BGE, PHI, Pepco, DPL and ACE). Pursuant to their respective transmission formula rates, ComEd, BGE, Pepco, DPL and ACE will begin passing back to customers on June 1, 2018, the benefit of lower income tax rates effective January 1, 2018. ComEd’s, BGE’s, Pepco’s, DPL’s and ACE’s transmission formula rates currently do not provide for the pass back or recovery of income tax-related regulatory liabilities or assets, including those established upon enactment of the TCJA.
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. On December 18, 2017, BGE filed for clarification and rehearing of FERC’s order, still seeking full recovery of its existing transmission-related income tax regulatory asset amounts.
On February 27, 2018 (and updated on March 26, 2018), BGE submitted a letter to FERC advising that the lower federal corporate income tax rate effective January 1, 2018 provided for in TCJA will be reflected in BGE’s annual formula rate update effective June 1, 2018, but that the deferred income tax benefits will not be passed back to customers unless BGE’s formula rate is revised to provide for pass back and recovery of transmission-related income tax-related regulatory liabilities and assets.
ComEd, Pepco, DPL and ACE have similar transmission-related income tax regulatory liabilities and assets also requiring FERC approval separate from their transmission formula rate mechanisms. On February 23, 2018, ComEd, Pepco, DPL, and ACE each filed with FERC to revise their transmission formula rate mechanisms to facilitate passing back to customers ongoing annual TCJA tax savings and to permit recovery of transmission-related income tax regulatory assets. The companies requested the revisions be effective as of April 24, 2018. On April 24, 2018, the FERC issued a letter order neither approving or rejecting the filings, but rather indicating that the filings were deficient and requiring the parties to file additional information within 30 days. Similar regulatory assets and liabilities at PECO are not subject to the same FERC transmission rate recovery formula and, thus, are not impacted by BGE’s November 16, 2017 FERC order. As discussed below, PECO is currently in settlement discussions regarding its transmission formula rate and expects to pass back TCJA benefits to customers through its annual formula rate update.
Each of BGE, ComEd, Pepco, DPL and ACE believe there is sufficient basis to support full recovery of their existing transmission-related income tax regulatory assets, as evidenced by the further pursuit of full recovery with FERC. However, upon further consideration of the November 16, 2017 FERC order, management of each company concluded that the portion of the total transmission-related income tax regulatory assets that would have been previously amortized and recovered through rates had the transmission formula rate provided for such recovery was no longer probable of recovery. As a result, Exelon, ComEd, BGE, PHI, Pepco, DPL and ACE recorded charges to Income tax expense within their Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income in the fourth quarter 2017, reducing their associated transmission-related income tax regulatory assets.

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

If any of the companies are ultimately successful with FERC allowing future recovery of these amounts, the associated regulatory assets will be reestablished, with corresponding decreases to Income tax expense. To the extent all or a portion of the prospective amortization amounts were no longer considered probable of recovery, Exelon, ComEd, BGE, PHI, Pepco, DPL and ACE would record additional charges to Income tax expense, which could be up to approximately $82 million, $41 million, $22 million, $19 million, $9 million, $7 million and $3 million, respectively, as of March 31, 2018.

The Utility Registrants cannot predict the outcome of these FERC proceedings.
Transmission Formula Rate (Exelon and PECO). On May 1, 2017, PECO filed a request with FERC seeking approval to update its transmission rates and change the manner in which PECO’s transmission rate is determined from a fixed rate to a formula rate. The formula rate would be updated annually to ensure that under this rate customers pay the actual costs of providing transmission services. The formula rate filing includes a requested increase of $22 million to PECO’s annual transmission revenues and a requested rate of return on common equity of 11%, inclusive of a 50 basis point adder for being a member of a regional transmission organization. PECO requested that the new transmission rate be effective as of July 2017. On June 27, 2017, FERC issued an Order accepting the filing and suspending the proposed rates until December 1, 2017, subject to refund, and set the matter for hearing and settlement judge procedures. PECO cannot predict the final outcome of the settlement or hearing proceedings, or the transmission formula FERC may approve.
DOE Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (Exelon and Generation). On August 23, 2017, the DOE staff released its report on the reliability of the electric grid. One aspect of the wide-ranging report is the DOE’s recognition that the electricity markets do not currently value the resiliency provided by baseload generation, such as nuclear plants. On September 28, 2017, the DOE issued a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NOPR) that would entitle certain eligible resilient generating units (i.e., those located in organized markets, with a 90-day supply of fuel on site, not already subject to state cost of service regulation and satisfying certain other requirements) to recover fully allocated costs and earn a fair return on equity on their investment. The DOE's NOPR recommended that the FERC take comments for 45 days after publication in the Federal Register and issue a final order 60 days after such publication. On January 8, 2018, the FERC issued an order terminating the rulemaking docket that was initiated to address the proposed rule in the DOE NOPR, concluding the proposed rule did not sufficiently demonstrate there is a resiliency issue and that it proposed a remedy that did not appear to be just, reasonable and nondiscriminatory as required under the Federal Power Act. At the same time, the FERC initiated a new proceeding to consider resiliency challenges to the bulk power system and evaluate whether additional FERC action to address resiliency would be appropriate. The FERC directed each RTO and ISO to respond within 60 days to 24 specific questions about how they assess and mitigate threats to resiliency. Interested parties may submit reply comments through May 9, 2018. Exelon has been and will continue to be an active participant in these proceedings, but cannot predict the final outcome or its potential financial impact, if any, on Exelon or Generation.
Operating License Renewals (Exelon and Generation).
Conowingo Hydroelectric Project. On August 29, 2012, Generation submitted a hydroelectric license application to FERC for a 46-yearnew 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)Certification) with Maryland Department of the Environment (MDE) for Conowingo, Generation continues to work with MDE and other stakeholders to resolve water quality licensing issues, including: (1) water quality, (2) fish habitat, and (3) sediment.
On April 21, 2016, Exelon and the US Fish and Wildlife Service of the US Department of the Interior executed a Settlement Agreement resolving all fish passage issues between the parties. The financial impact of the Settlement Agreement is estimated to be $3 million to $7 million per year, on average, over the 46-year life of the new license, including both capital and operating costs. The actual timing and

amount of these costs are not currently fixed and may vary significantly from year to year throughout the life of the new license.
On April 27, 2018, the MDE issued its 401 certificationCertification for Conowingo. As issued, the 401 certification imposes requirementsCertification contains numerous conditions, including those relating to reduction of nutrients from upstream sources, removal of all visible trash and conditionsdebris from upstream sources, and implementation of measures relating to fish passage, which could have a material, unfavorable impact onin Exelon’s and Generation’s results of operations, cash flows and financial positionsstatements through an increase in capital expenditures and operating costs if implemented. On May 25, 2018, Generation is reviewingfiled complaints in federal and state court, along with a petition for reconsideration with MDE, alleging that the certificationconditions are unfair and will determine next steps to ensureonerous violating MDE regulations, state, federal, and constitutional law. Generation also requested that FERC defer the long-term viabilityissuance of the federal license while these significant state and federal law issues are pending. On February 28, 2019, Generation filed a Petition for Declaratory Order with FERC requesting that FERC issue an order declaring that MDE waived its right to issue a 401 Certification for Conowingo Dam.because it failed to timely act on Conowingo's 401 Certification application and requesting that FERC decline to include the conditions proposed by MDE in April 2018. Exelon also continues to challenge the 401 Certification through the administrative process and in state and federal court. Exelon and Generation cannot predict the final outcome or its financial impact, if any, on Exelon or Generation.
As of March 31, 2018, $322019, $38 million of direct costs associated with Conowingo licensing efforts have been capitalized. See Note 34 — Regulatory Matters of the Exelon 20172018 Form 10-K for additional information on Generation's operating license renewal efforts.
Regulatory Assets and Liabilities (Exelon, ComEd, PECO, BGE, PHI, Pepco, DPL and ACE)
Exelon, ComEd, PECO, BGE, PHI, Pepco, DPL and ACE each prepare their consolidated financial statements in accordance with the authoritative guidance for accounting for certain types of regulation. Under this guidance, regulatory assets represent incurred costs that have been deferred because of their probable future recovery from customers through regulated rates. Regulatory liabilities represent the excess recovery of costs or accrued credits that have been deferred because it is probable such amounts will be returned to customers through future regulated rates or represent billings in advance of expenditures for approved regulatory programs.

Purchase of Receivables Programs (Exelon, ComEd, PECO, BGE, PHI, Pepco, DPL and ACE)
ComEd, PECO, BGE, Pepco, DPL and ACE are required, under separate legislation and regulations in Illinois, Pennsylvania, Maryland, District of Columbia and New Jersey, to purchase certain receivables from retail electric and natural gas suppliers that participate in the utilities' consolidated billing. ComEd, BGE, Pepco and DPL purchase receivables at a discount to recover primarily uncollectible accounts expense from the suppliers. PECO is required to purchase receivables at face value and is permitted to recover uncollectible accounts expense, including those from Third Party Suppliers, from customers through distribution rates. ACE purchases receivables at face value. ACE recovers all uncollectible accounts expense, including those from Third Party Suppliers, through the Societal Benefits Charge (SBC) rider, which includes uncollectible accounts expense as a component. The SBC is filed annually with the NJBPU. Exelon, ComEd, PECO, BGE, PHI, Pepco, DPL and ACE do not record unbilled commodity receivables under the POR programs.

7. Impairment of Long-Lived Assets (Exelon and Generation)
DuringRegistrants evaluate long-lived assets for recoverability whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. 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. Changes in those inputs could potentially result in material future impairments of the Registrants' long-lived assets.
Generation’s Antelope Valley, a 242 MW solar facility in Lancaster, CA, sells all of its output to Pacific Gas and Electric Company (PG&E) through a PPA. As of March 31, 2019, Generation had approximately $750 million of net long-lived assets related to Antelope Valley. As a result of the PG&E bankruptcy filing in 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 announced it had formally notified ISO-NE of the early retirement of its Mystic Generating Station's Units 7, 8, 9 and the Mystic Jet Unit (Mystic Generating Station assets) absent regulatory reforms. These events suggested that the carrying value of its New England asset group may be impaired. As a result,2019, Generation completed a comprehensive review of theAntelope Valley's estimated undiscounted future cash flows of the New England asset group and no impairment charge was required. Further developmentsrecorded. Significant changes in assumptions such as the failurelikelihood of ISO-NE to adopt interim and long-term solutions for reliability and fuel securitythe PPA being rejected as part of the bankruptcy proceedings could potentially result in future impairments of the New England asset group,Antelope Valley’s net long-lived assets, which could be material.
Antelope Valley is a wholly owned indirect subsidiary of EGR IV, which had approximately $1,970 million of additional net long-lived assets as of March 31, 2019. EGR IV is a wholly owned indirect subsidiary of Exelon and Generation and includes Generation's interest in EGRP and other projects with non-controlling interests. To date, there have been no indicators to suggest that the carrying amount of other net long-lived assets of EGR IV may not be recoverable.
Generation will continue to monitor the bankruptcy proceedings for any changes in circumstances that may indicate the carrying amount of the net long-lived assets of Antelope Valley or other long-lived assets of EGR IV may not be recoverable.
See Note 8 — Early Plant Retirements11 - Debt and Credit Agreements for additional information on the early retirement of the Mystic Generating Station assets.PG&E bankruptcy.
8. Early Plant Retirements (Exelon and Generation)
Exelon and Generation continue tocontinuously evaluate factors that affect the current and expected economic value of each of Generation’s plants. Factors that will continue to affect the economic value of Generation’s plants, include,including, but are 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 decommissioning trustNDT 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 Three Mile Island 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 either the Illinois ZES, New Jersey ZEC program or the New York CES programs 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 results of operations, cash flows and financial positions. Refer tostatements. See Note 6 — Regulatory Matters for additional discussioninformation on the Illinois ZES, New Jersey ZEC program and New York CES and the Illinois ZES.CES.
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. The plant is currently committed to operate through May 2019auction and is licensed to operate through 2034. Onon 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, Exelon announced that Generation will permanently cease generation operations at TMI on or about September 30, 2019. TMI is currently committed to operate through May 2019 and is licensed to operate through 2034. Generation has filed the required market and regulatory notifications to shut down the plant. PJM has subsequently notified Generation that it has not identified any reliability issues and has approved the deactivation of TMI as proposed. On April 5, 2019, Generation filed the post shutdown decommissioning activities report (PSDAR) with the NRC detailing the plans for TMI after its final shutdown.
On February 2, 2018, Exelon announced that Generation will permanently cease generation operations at the Oyster Creek nuclear plant at the end of its current operating cycle by Octoberand permanently ceased generation operations in September 2018. In 2010, Generation announced that Oyster Creek would retire by the end of 2019 as part of an agreement with the State of New Jersey to avoid significant costs associated with the construction of cooling towers to meet the State’s then new environmental regulations. Since then, like other nuclear sites, Oyster Creek has continued to face rising operating costs amid a historically low wholesale power price environment. The decision to retire Oyster Creek in 2018 at the end of its current operating cycle involved consideration of several factors, including economic and operating efficiencies, and avoids a refueling outage scheduled for the fall of 2018 that would have required advanced purchasing of fuel fabrication and materials beginning in late February 2018. Generation has filed the required market and regulatory notifications to shut down the plant. PJM has subsequently notified Generation that it has not identified any reliability issues and has approved the deactivation of Oyster Creek as proposed.
As a result of these early nuclear plant retirement decisions, Exelon and Generation recognized one-time charges in Operating and maintenance expense related to materials and supplies inventory reserve adjustments, employee-related costs and CWIP impairments, among other items. In addition to these one-time charges, annual incremental non-cash charges to earnings stemming from shortening the expected economic useful lives primarily related to accelerated depreciation of plant assets (including any ARC), and accelerated amortization of nuclear fuel, as well as operating and additional ARO accretion expense associated with the changes in decommissioning timing and cost assumptions were also recorded.maintenance expenses. See Note 13 — Nuclear Decommissioning for additional detailinformation on changes to the nuclear decommissioning ARO balance.
Exelon's The total impact for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and Generation's first quarter 2018 results included a net incremental $178 million of total pre-tax expense associated with the early retirement decisions for TMI and Oyster Creek, asare summarized in the table below.

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. Although Salem is committed to operate through May 2021, the plant faces continued economic challenges and PSEG, as the operator of the plant, is exploring all options.
On April 12, 2018, a bill was passed by both Houses of the New Jersey legislature that would establish a ZEC program providing compensation for nuclear plants that demonstrate to the NJBPU that they meet certain requirements, including that they make a significant contribution to air qualitycapacity ever not selected in the stateauction, including all of Dresden, and that their revenues are insufficient to cover their costsportions of Byron and risks. The program provides transparency and includes robust customer protections.  The New Jersey Governor has up to 45 days to sign the bill, with the bill becoming effective immediately upon signing. The NJBPU then has 180 days from the effective date to establish procedures for implementation of the ZEC program and 330 days from the effective date to determine which nuclear power plants are selected to receive ZECs under the program. Selected nuclear plants will receive ZEC payments for each energy year (12-month period from June 1 through May 31) within 90 days after the completion of such energy year.Braidwood.

end of the current capacity commitment for Mystic Units 7 &and 8. Mystic Unit 9 is currently committed through May 2021. Absent any regulatory reforms
On May 16, 2018, Generation made a filing with FERC to properly value reliabilityestablish cost-of-service compensation and regional fuel security, these unitsterms and conditions of service for Mystic Units 8 and 9 for the period between June 1, 2022 - May 31, 2024. On December 20, 2018, FERC issued an order accepting the cost of service agreement 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 Everett Marine Terminal. Those adjustments were reflected in a compliance filing filed March 1, 2019. In the December 20, 2018 order, FERC also directed a paper hearing on ROE using a new methodology. Initial briefs in the ROE proceeding were filed on April 19, 2019 and reply briefs are due on July 18, 2019. On January 4, 2019, Generation notified ISO-NE that it will participate in the Forward Capacity Market auction for the 2022 - 2023 capacity commitment period. In addition, on January 22, 2019, Exelon and several other parties filed requests for rehearing of certain findings of the December 20, 2018 order, which does not alter Generation's commitment to participate in the Forward Capacity Auction (FCA) scheduled for February 2019 for the 2022 - 2023 planning year.2022-2023 capacity commitment period.
TheOn March 25, 2019, ISO-NE recently announced that it would takefiled the Inventoried Energy Program, which is intended to provide an interim fuel security program pending conclusion of the stakeholder process to develop a three-step approachlong-term, market-based solution to address fuel security. First,Exelon filed comments on the Inventoried Energy Program proposal on April 15, 2019. FERC has ordered ISO-NE will make a filing soon to obtain tariff waivers to allow it to retain Mystic 8 and 9 forfile the long-term, market-based fuel security for the 2022 - 2024 planning years.  Second, ISO-NE will file tariff revisions to allow it to retain other resources for fuel security in the capacity market if necessary in the future.  Third, ISO-NE will work with stakeholders to develop long-term market rule changes to address system resiliency considering significant reliability risks identified in ISO-NE’s January 2018 fuel security report. Changes to market rules are necessary because critical units to the region, such as Mystic Units 8 and 9, cannot recover future operating costs, including the cost of procuring fuel. On April 3, 2018, ISO-NE issued a memorandum to the NEPOOL Participants’ Committee announcing its intention to seek FERC approval for waiver of certain tariff provisions in order to allow it to retain Mystic Units 8 and 9 for fuel security reasons. On April 4, 2018, Generation issued a letter indicating its willingness to cooperate and submit to full cost-of-service compensation for the Mystic Units 8 and 9, provided that the cost-of-service rate is determined before it commits to any future capacity obligation.by October 15, 2019.

Recurring Fair Value Measurements
Exelon records the fair value of assets and liabilities in accordance with the hierarchy established by the authoritative guidance for fair value measurements. 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.
Transfers in and out of levels are recognized as of the end of the reporting period when the transfer occurred. Given derivatives categorized within Level 1 are valued using exchange-based quoted prices within observable periods, transfers between Level 2 and Level 1 were not material. Additionally, there

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

were no material transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 during the three months ended March 31, 2018 for cash equivalents, nuclear decommissioning trust fund investments, Pledged assets for Zion Station decommissioning, Rabbi trust investments, and Deferred compensation obligations. For derivative contracts, transfers into Level 2 from Level 3 generally occur when the contract tenor becomes more observable and due to changes in market liquidity or assumptions for certain commodity contracts.
Generation and Exelon
In accordance with the applicable guidance on fair value measurement, certain investments that are measured at fair value using the NAV per share as a practical expedient are no longer classified within the fair value hierarchy and are included under "Not subject to leveling" in the table below.
The following tables present assets and liabilities measured and recorded at fair value onin Exelon's and Generation’s Consolidated Balance Sheets on a recurring basis and their level within the fair value hierarchy as of March 31, 20182019 and December 31, 2017:

Valuation Techniques Used to Determine Fair Value
The following describes the valuation techniques used to measure the fair value of the assets and liabilities shown in the tables above.
Cash Equivalents (Exelon, Generation, ComEd, PECO, BGE, PHI, Pepco, DPL and ACE)(All Registrants).The Registrants’ cash equivalents include investments with original maturities of three months or less when purchased. The cash equivalents shown in the fair value tables are comprised of investments in mutual and money market funds. The fair values of the shares of these funds are based on observable market prices and, therefore, have been categorized in Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy.
Nuclear Decommissioning TrustNDT Fund Investments and Pledged Assets for Zion Station Decommissioning (Exelon and Generation).The trust fund investments have been established to satisfy Generation’s and CENG's nuclear decommissioning obligations as required by the NRC. The NDT funds hold debt and equity securities directly and indirectly through commingled funds and mutual funds, which are included in Equities and Fixed Income. Generation’s and CENG's NDT fund investments policies outline investment guidelines for the trusts and limit the trust funds’ exposures to investments in highly illiquid markets and other alternative investments. Investments with maturities of three months or less when purchased, including certain short-term fixed income securities are considered cash equivalents and included in the recurring fair value measurements hierarchy as Level 1 or Level 2.
With respect to individually held equity securities, the trustees obtain prices from pricing services, whose prices are generally obtained from direct feeds from market exchanges, which Generation is able to independently corroborate. The fair values of equity securities held directly by the trust funds which are based on quoted prices in active markets

are categorized in Level 1. Certain equity securities have been categorized as Level 2 because they are based on evaluated prices that reflect observable market information, such as actual trade information or similar securities. Equity securities held individually are

primarily traded on the New York Stock Exchange and NASDAQ-Global Select Market, which contain only actively traded securities due to the volume trading requirements imposed by these exchanges.
For fixed income securities, multiple prices from pricing services are obtained whenever possible, which enables cross-provider validations in addition to checks for unusual daily movements. A primary price source is identified based on asset type, class or issue for each security. With respect to individually held fixed income securities, the trustees monitor prices supplied by pricing services and may use a supplemental price source or change the primary price source of a given security if the portfolio managers challenge an assigned price and the trustees determine that another price source is considered to be preferable. Generation has obtained an understanding of how these prices are derived, including the nature and observability of the inputs used in deriving such prices. Additionally, Generation selectively corroborates the fair values of securities by comparison to other market-based price sources. U.S. Treasury securities are categorized as Level 1 because they trade in a highly liquid and transparent market. The fair values of fixed income securities, excluding U.S. Treasury securities, are based on evaluated prices that reflect observable market information, such as actual trade information or similar securities, adjusted for observable differences and are categorized in Level 2. The fair values of private placement fixed income securities, which are included in Corporate debt, are determined using a third partythird-party valuation that contains significant unobservable inputs and are categorized in Level 3.
Equity and fixed income commingled funds and mutual funds are maintained by investment companies and hold certain investments in accordance with a stated set of fund objectives such as holding short-term fixed income securities or tracking the performance of certain equity indices by purchasing equity securities to replicate the capitalization and characteristics of the indices. The values of some of these funds are publicly quoted. For mutual funds which are publicly quoted, the funds are valued based on quoted prices in active markets and have been categorized as Level 1. For commingled funds and mutual funds, which are not publicly quoted, the funds are valued using NAV as a practical expedient for fair value, which is primarily derived from the quoted prices in active markets on the underlying securities, and are not classified within the fair value hierarchy. These investments typically can be redeemed monthly with 30 or less days of notice and without further restrictions.
Derivative instruments consisting primarily of futures and interest rate swaps to manage risk are recorded at fair value. Over the counter derivatives are valued daily based on quoted prices in active markets and trade in open markets and have been categorized as Level 1. Derivative instruments other than over the counter derivatives are valued based on external price data of comparable securities and have been categorized as Level 2.
Middle market lending are investments in loans or managed funds which lend to private companies. Generation elected the fair value option for its investments in certain limited partnerships that invest in middle market lending managed funds. The fair value of these loans is determined using a combination of valuation models including cost models, market models and income models. Investments in loans are categorized as Level 3 because the fair value of these securities is based largely on inputs that are unobservable and utilize complex valuation models. Managed funds are valued using NAV or its equivalent as a practical expedient, and therefore, are not classified within the fair value hierarchy. Investments in middle market lending 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. The fair value of private equity and real estate investments is determined using NAV or its equivalent as a practical expedient, and therefore, are not classified within the fair value hierarchy. These investments typically cannot be redeemed and are generally liquidated over a period of 8 to 10 years from the initial investment date. 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.
As of March 31, 2018,2019, Exelon and Generation hashave outstanding commitments to invest in equities, fixed income, middle market lending, private equity and real estate investments of approximately $208$127 million, $65$179 million,, $386 million,$194 $301 million, and$107 $268 million, respectively. These commitments will be funded by Generation’s existing nuclear decommissioning trustNDT funds.

Concentrations of Credit RiskRisk.. Generation evaluated its NDT portfolios for the existence of significant concentrations of credit risk as of March 31, 2018.2019. Types of concentrations that were evaluated include, but are not limited to, investment concentrations in a single entity, type of industry, foreign country, and individual fund. As of March 31, 2018,2019, there were no significant concentrations (generally defined as greater than 10 percent) of risk in Generation's NDT assets.
See Note 13 — Nuclear Decommissioning for further discussionadditional information on the NDT fund investments.
Rabbi Trust Investments (Exelon, Generation, PECO, BGE, PHI, Pepco, DPL and ACE)Pepco).The Rabbi trusts were established to hold assets related to deferred compensation plans existing for certain active and retired members of Exelon’s executive management and directors. The Rabbi trusts assets are included in investments in the Registrants’ Consolidated Balance Sheets and consist primarily of money market funds, mutual funds, fixed income securities and life insurance policies. The mutual funds are maintained by investment companies and hold certain investments in accordance with a stated set of fund objectives, which are consistent with Exelon’s overall investment strategy. Money market funds and mutual funds are publicly quoted and have been categorized as Level 1 given the clear observability of the prices. The fair values of fixed income securities are based on evaluated prices that reflect observable market information, such as actual trade information or similar securities, adjusted for observable differences and are categorized in Level 2. The life insurance policies are valued using the cash surrender value of the policies, net of loans against those policies, which is provided by a third-party. Certain life insurance policies, which consist primarily of mutual funds that are priced based on observable market data, have been categorized as Level 2 because the life insurance policies can be liquidated at the reporting date for the value of the underlying assets. Life insurance policies that are valued using unobservable inputs have been categorized as Level 3.
Mark-to-Market Derivatives (Exelon, Generation, ComEd, PHI and DPL)..Derivative contracts are traded in both exchange-based and non-exchange-based markets. Exchange-based derivatives that are valued using unadjusted quoted prices in active markets are categorized in Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy. Certain derivatives’ pricing is verified using indicative price quotations available through brokers or over-the-counter, on-line exchanges and are categorized in Level 2. These price quotations reflect the average of the bid-ask, mid-point prices and are obtained from sources that the Registrants believe provide the most liquid market for the commodity. The price quotations are reviewed and corroborated to ensure the prices are observable and representative of an orderly transaction between market participants. This includes consideration of actual transaction volumes, market delivery points, bid-ask spreads and contract duration. The remainder of derivative contracts are valued using the Black model, an industry standard option valuation model. The Black model takes into account inputs such as contract terms, including maturity, and market parameters, including assumptions of the future prices of energy, interest rates, volatility, credit worthiness and credit spread. For derivatives that trade in liquid markets, such as generic forwards, swaps and options, model inputs are generally observable. Such instruments are categorized in Level 2. The Registrants’ derivatives are predominantly at liquid trading points. For derivatives that trade in less liquid markets with limited pricing information model inputs generally would include both observable and unobservable inputs. These valuations may include an estimated basis adjustment from an illiquid trading point to a liquid trading point for which active price quotations are available. Such instruments are categorized in Level 3.

Exelon may utilize fixed-to-floating interest rate swaps which are typically designated as fair value hedges, as a means to achieve its targeted level of variable-rate debt as a percent of total debt. In addition, the Registrants may utilize interest rate derivatives to lock in interest rate levels in anticipation of future financings. These interest rate derivatives are typically designated as cash flow hedges. Exelon determines the current fair value by calculating the net present value of expected payments and receipts under the swap agreement, based on and discounted by the market's expectation of future interest rates. Additional inputs to the net present value calculation may include the contract terms, counterparty credit risk and other market parameters. As these inputs are based on observable data and valuations of similar instruments, the interest rate swaps are categorized in Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy. See Note 10 — Derivative Financial Instruments for further discussionadditional information on mark-to-market derivatives.
Deferred Compensation Obligations (Exelon, Generation, ComEd, PECO, BGE, PHI, Pepco, DPL and ACE)(All Registrants).The Registrants’ deferred compensation plans allow participants to defer certain cash compensation into a notional investment account. The Registrants include such plans in other current and noncurrent liabilities in their Consolidated Balance Sheets. The value of the Registrants’ deferred compensation obligations is based on the market value of the participants’ notional investment accounts. The underlying notional investments are comprised primarily of equities, mutual funds, commingled funds, and fixed income securities which are based on directly and indirectly observable market prices. Since the deferred compensation obligations themselves are not exchanged in an active market, they are categorized as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy.

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

The value of certain employment agreement obligations (which are included with the Deferred Compensation Obligation in the tables above) are based on a known and certain stream of payments to be made over time and are categorized as Level 2 within the fair value hierarchy.
Additional Information Regarding Level 3 Fair Value Measurements (Exelon, Generation, ComEd, PHI, Pepco, DPL and ACE)
Nuclear Decommissioning TrustNDT Fund Investments and Pledged Assets for Zion StationDecommissioning (Exelon and Generation).For middle market lending and certain corporate debt securities investments, the fair value is determined using a combination of valuation models including cost models, market models and income models. The valuation estimates are based on discounting the forecasted cash flows, market-based comparable data, credit and liquidity factors, as well as other factors that may impact value. Significant judgment is required in the application of discounts or premiums applied for factors such as size, marketability, credit risk and relative performance.
Because Generation relies on third-party fund managers to develop the quantitative unobservable inputs without adjustment for the valuations of its Level 3 investments, quantitative information about significant unobservable inputs used in valuing these investments is not reasonably available to Generation. This includes information regarding the sensitivity of the fair values to changes in the unobservable inputs. Therefore, Generation gains an understanding of the fund managers’ inputs and assumptions used in preparing the valuations. Generation performed procedures to assess the reasonableness of the valuations.has not disclosed such inputs.
Rabbi Trust Investments - Life insurance contracts (Exelon, PHI, Pepco, DPL and ACE)Pepco).For For life insurance policies categorized as Level 3, the fair value is determined based on the cash surrender value of the policy, which contains unobservable inputs and assumptions. Because Exelon relies on its third-party insurance provider to develop the inputs without adjustment for the valuations of its Level 3 investments, quantitative information about significant unobservable inputs used in valuing these investments is not reasonably available to Exelon. Therefore, Exelon gains an understanding of the types of inputs and assumptions used in preparing the valuations and performs procedures to assess the reasonableness of the valuations.has not disclosed such inputs.

Mark-to-Market Derivatives (Exelon, Generation and ComEd).For valuations that include both observable and unobservable inputs, if the unobservable input is determined to be significant to the overall inputs, the entire valuation is categorized in Level 3. This includes derivatives valued using indicative price quotations whose contract tenure extends into unobservable periods. In instances where observable data is unavailable, consideration is given to the assumptions that market participants would use in valuing the asset or liability. This includes assumptions about market risks such as liquidity, volatility and contract duration. Such instruments are categorized in Level 3 as the model inputs generally are not observable. 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. Forward price curves for the power market utilized by the front office to manage the portfolio, are reviewed and verified by the middle office, and used for financial reporting by the back office. The Registrants consider credit and nonperformance risk in the valuation of derivative contracts categorized in Level 2 and 3, including both historical and current market data in its assessment of credit and nonperformance risk by counterparty. Due to master netting agreements and collateral posting requirements, the impacts of credit and nonperformance risk were not material to the financial statements.
Disclosed below is detail surrounding the Registrants’ significant Level 3 valuations. The calculated fair value includes marketability discounts for margining provisions and other attributes. Generation’s Level 3 balance generally consists of forward sales and purchases of power and natural gas and certain transmission congestion contracts. Generation utilizes various inputs and factors including market data and assumptions that market participants would use in pricing assets or liabilities as well as assumptions about the risks inherent in the inputs to the valuation technique. The inputs and factors include forward commodity prices, commodity price volatility, contractual volumes, delivery location, interest rates, credit quality of counterparties and credit enhancements.
For commodity derivatives, the primary input to the valuation models is the forward commodity price curve for each instrument. Forward commodity price curves are derived by risk management for liquid locations and by the traders and portfolio managers for illiquid locations. All locations are reviewed and verified by risk management considering published exchange transaction prices, executed bilateral transactions, broker quotes, and other observable or public data sources. The relevant forward commodity curve used to value each of the derivatives depends on a number of factors, including commodity type, delivery location, and delivery period. Price volatility varies by commodity and location. When appropriate, Generation discounts future cash flows using risk free interest rates with adjustments to reflect the credit quality of each counterparty for assets and Generation’s own credit quality for liabilities. The level of observability of a forward commodity price varies generally due to the delivery location and delivery period. Certain delivery locations including PJM West Hub (for power) and Henry Hub (for natural gas) are more liquid and prices are observable for up to three years in the future. The observability period of volatility is

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

generally shorter than the underlying power curve used in option valuations. The forward curve for a less liquid location is estimated by using the forward curve from the liquid location and applying a spread to represent the cost to transport the commodity to the delivery location. This spread does not typically represent a majority of the instrument’s market price. As a result, the change in fair value is closely tied to liquid market movements and not a change in the applied spread. The change in fair value associated with a change in the spread is generally immaterial. An average spread calculated across all Level 3 power and gas delivery locations is approximately $2.99$2.52 and $0.46 for power and natural gas, respectively. Many of the commodity derivatives are short-term in nature and thus a majority of the fair value may be based on observable inputs even though the contract as a whole must be classified as Level 3.

On December 17, 2010, ComEd entered into several 20-year floating to fixed energy swap contracts with unaffiliated suppliers for the procurement of long-term renewable energy and associated RECs. See Note 10 —Derivative Financial Instruments for moreadditional information. The fair value of these swaps has been designated as a Level 3 valuation due to the long tenure of the positions and internal modeling assumptions. The modeling assumptions include using natural gas heat rates to project long term forward power curves adjusted by a renewable factor that incorporates time of day and seasonality factors to reflect accurate renewable energy pricing. In addition, marketability reserves are applied to the positions based on the tenor and supplier risk.
The table below discloses the significant inputs to the forward curve used to value these positions.

(a)The valuation techniques, unobservable inputs and ranges are the same for the asset and liability positions.
(b)The fair values do not include cash collateral posted on level three positions of $186$157 million and $81$76 million as of March 31, 20182019 and December 31, 2017,2018, 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.
10. 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.
Commodity Price Risk (All Registrants)
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. 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-

114

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

termlong-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.
Derivative 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

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

both at the time of designation and on an ongoing basis. These alternative permissible accounting treatments include normal purchase normal sale (NPNS), cash flow hedges and fair value hedges. For Generation, all derivative economic hedges related to commodities are recorded at fair value through earnings for the consolidated company, referred to as economic hedges in the following tables. 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.
Fair value authoritative guidance and disclosures 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 Sheet. 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. Generation’s use of cash collateral is generally unrestricted, unless Generation is downgraded below investment grade (i.e., to BB+ or Ba1). In the table below, 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 column. As of March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, $8 million and $42019, $6 million of cash collateral held, respectively,and as of December 31, 2018, $2 million of cash collateral posted and an additional $12 million of cash collateral posted with ComEd, was not offset against derivative positions because such collateral was not associated with any energy-related derivatives, were associated with accrual positions, or had no positions to offset as of the balance sheet date. Excluded from the tables below are economic hedges that qualify for the NPNS scope exception and other non-derivative contracts that are accounted for under the accrual method of accounting.
ComEd’s use of cash collateral is generally unrestricted unless ComEd is downgraded below investment grade (i.e., to BB+ or Ba1).
Cash collateral held by PECO and BGE must be deposited in an unaffiliated major U.S. commercial bank or foreign bank with a U.S. branch office that meet certain qualifications.
In the table below, DPL's economic hedges 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 column.

Economic Hedges (Commodity Price Risk)
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. For the three months ended March 31, 20182019 and 2017,2018, 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" onin 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 March 31, 2018,2019, the percentage of expected generation hedged for the Mid-Atlantic, Midwest, New York and ERCOT reportable segments is 91%-94%90%-93%, 63%-66%64%-67% and 33%-36%38%-41% for 2018, 2019, 2020 and 2020,2021, respectively.
On December 17, 2010, ComEd executed several 20-year floating-to-fixed energy swap contracts with unaffiliated suppliers for the procurement of long-term renewable energy and associated RECs. Delivery under the contracts began in June 2012. These contracts are designed to lock in a portion of the long-term commodity price risk resulting from the renewable energy resource procurement requirements in the Illinois Settlement Legislation. ComEd has not elected hedge accounting for these derivative financial instruments. ComEd records the fair value of the swap contracts onin its balance sheet. Because ComEd receives full cost recovery for energy procurement and related costs from retail customers, the change in fair value each period is recorded by ComEd as a regulatory asset or liability. See Note 34 — Regulatory Matters of the Exelon 20172018 Form 10-K for additional information.
PECO’s natural gas procurement policy is designed to achieve a reasonable balance of long-term and short-term gas purchases under different pricing approaches to achieve system supply reliability at the least cost. PECO’s reliability strategy is two-fold. First, PECO must assure that there is sufficient transportation capacity to satisfy delivery requirements. Second, PECO must ensure that a firm source of supply exists to utilize the capacity resources. All of PECO’s natural gas supply and asset management agreements that are derivatives either qualify for the NPNS scope exception and have been designated as such or have no mark-to-market balances because the derivatives are index priced. Additionally, in accordance with the 20162018 PAPUC PGC settlement and to reduce the exposure of PECO and its customers to natural gas price volatility, PECO has continued its program to purchase natural gas for both winter and summer supplies using a layered approach of locking-in prices ahead of each season with long-

termlong-term gas purchase agreements (those with primary terms of at least twelve months). Under the terms of the 20162018 and previous PGC settlement,settlements, PECO is required to lock in (i.e., economically hedge) the price of a minimum volume of its long-term gas commodity purchases. PECO’s gas-hedging program is designed to cover about 20% of planned natural gas purchases in support of projected firm sales. The hedging program for natural gas procurement has no direct impact on PECO’s results of operations and financial position as natural gas costs are fully recovered from customers under the PGC.
BGE has contracts to procure SOS electric supply that are executed through a competitive procurement process approved by the MDPSC. The SOS rates charged recover BGE's wholesale power supply costs and include an administrative fee. BGE’s commodity price risk related to electric supply procurement is limited. BGE locks in fixed prices for all of its SOS requirements through full requirements contracts. Certain of BGE’s full requirements contracts, which are considered derivatives, qualify for the NPNS scope exception under current derivative authoritative guidance. Other BGE full requirements contracts are not derivatives.
BGE provides natural gas to its customers under a MBR mechanism approved by the MDPSC. Under this mechanism, BGE’s actual cost of gas is compared to a market index (a measure of the market price of gas in a given period). The difference between BGE’s actual cost and the market index is shared equally between shareholders and customers. BGE must also secure fixed price contracts for at least 10%, but not more than 20%, of forecasted system supply requirements for flowing (i.e., non-storage) gas for the November through March period. These fixed-price contracts are not subject to sharing under the MBR mechanism. BGE also ensures it has sufficient pipeline transportation capacity to meet customer requirements. BGE’s natural gas supply and asset management agreements qualify for the NPNS scope exception and result in physical delivery.
Pepco has contracts to procure SOS electric supply that are executed through a competitive procurement process approved by the MDPSC and DCPSC. The SOS rates charged recover Pepco's wholesale power supply costs and include an administrative fee. The administrative fee includes an incremental cost component and a shareholder return component for residential and commercial rate classes. Pepco’s commodity price risk related to electric supply procurement is limited. Pepco locks in fixed prices for its SOS requirements through full requirements contracts. Certain of Pepco’s full requirements contracts, which are considered derivatives, qualify for the NPNS scope exception under current derivative authoritative guidance. Other Pepco full requirements contracts are not derivatives.
DPL has contracts to procure SOS electric supply that are executed through a competitive procurement process approved by the MDPSC and the DPSC. The SOS rates charged recover DPL's wholesale power supply costs. In Delaware, DPL is also entitled to recover a Reasonable Allowance for Retail Margin (RARM). The RARM includes

a fixed annual margin of approximately $2.75 million, plus an incremental cost component and a cash working capital allowance. In Maryland, DPL charges an administrative fee intended to allow it to recover its administrative costs. DPL locks in fixed prices for its SOS requirements through full requirements contracts. DPL’s commodity price risk related to electric supply procurement is limited. Certain of DPL’s full requirements contracts, which are considered derivatives, qualify for the NPNS scope exception under current derivative authoritative guidance. Other DPL full requirements contracts are not derivatives.
DPL provides natural gas to its customers under an Annual GCR mechanism approved by the DPSC. Under this mechanism, DPL’s Annual GCR Filing establishes a future GCR for firm bundled sales customers by using a forecast of demand and commodity costs. The actual costs are trued up against forecasts on a monthly basis and any shortfall or excess is carried forward as a recovery balance in the next GCR filing. The demand portion of the GCR is based upon DPL’s firm transportation and storage contracts. DPL has firm deliverability of swing and seasonal storage;storage, a liquefied natural gas facility and firm transportation capacity to meet customer demand and provide a reserve margin. The commodity portion of the GCR includes a commission approved hedging program which is intended to reduce gas

commodity price volatility while limiting the firm natural gas customers’ exposure to adverse changes in the market price of natural gas. The hedge program requires that DPL hedge, on a non-discretionary basis, an amount equal to 50% of estimated purchase requirements for each month, including estimated monthly purchases for storage injections. The 50% hedge monthly target is achieved by hedging 1/12th of the 50% target each month beginning 12-months prior to the month in which the physical gas is to be purchased. Currently, DPL uses only exchange traded futures for its gas hedging program, which are considered derivatives, however, it retains the capability to employ other physical and financial hedges if needed. DPL has not elected hedge accounting for these derivative financial instruments. Because of the DPSC-approved fuel adjustment clause for DPL's derivatives, the change in fair value of the derivatives each period, in addition to all premiums paid and other transaction costs incurred as part of the gas hedging program, are fully recoverable and are recorded by DPL as regulatory assets or liabilities. DPL’s physical gas purchases are currently all daily, monthly or intra-month transactions. From time to time, DPL will enter into seasonal purchase or sale arrangements, however, there are none currently in the portfolio. Certain of DPL's full requirements contracts, which are considered derivatives, qualify for the NPNS scope exception under current derivative authoritative guidance. Other DPL full requirements contracts are not derivatives.
ACE has contracts to procure BGS electric supply that are executed through a competitive procurement process approved by the NJBPU. The BGS rates charged recover ACE's wholesale power supply costs. ACE does not make any profit or incur any loss on the supply component of the BGS it supplies to customers. ACE’s commodity price risk related to electric supply procurement is limited. ACE locks in fixed prices for all of its BGS requirements through full requirements contracts. Certain of ACE’s full requirements contracts, which are considered derivatives, qualify for the NPNS scope exception under current derivative authoritative guidance. Other ACE full requirements contracts are not derivatives.
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. Proprietary trading activities are subject to limits established by Exelon’s RMC. The proprietary trading portfolio is subject to a risk management policy that includes stringent risk management limits to manage exposure to market risk. Additionally, the Exelon risk management group and Exelon's RMC monitor the financial risks of the 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 revenue from energy marketing activities. 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. For the three months ended March 31, 20182019 and 20172018 Exelon and Generation recognized the following net pre-tax commodity mark-to-market gains (losses) which are also included in the "Net fair value changes related to derivatives" onin the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. The Utility Registrants do not execute derivatives for proprietary trading purposes.

Cash Flow Hedges (Interest Rate Risk)
For derivative instruments that qualify and are designated as cash flow hedges, the gain or loss on the effective portion of the derivative will be deferred in AOCI and reclassified into earnings when the underlying transaction occurs. To mitigate interest rate risk, Exelon and Generation enter into floating-to-fixed interest rate swaps to manage a portion of interest rate exposure associated with debt issuances.

Credit Risk, Collateral and Contingent-Related Features (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. 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.

(a)As of March 31, 2018,2019, credit collateral held from counterparties where Generation had credit exposure included $41$37 million of cash and $23$19 million of letters of credit. The credit collateral does not include non-liquid collateral.
ComEd’s power procurement contracts provide suppliers with a certain amount of unsecured credit. The credit position is based on daily, updated forward market prices compared to the benchmark prices. The benchmark prices are the forward prices of energy projected through the contract term and are set at the point of supplier bid submittals. If the forward market price of energy exceeds the benchmark price on a given day, the suppliers are required to post collateral for the secured credit portion after adjusting for any unpaid deliveries and unsecured credit allowed under the contract. The unsecured credit used by the suppliers represents ComEd’s net credit exposure. As of March 31, 2018,2019, ComEd’s net credit exposure to suppliers was less than $1$2 million.
ComEd is permitted to recover its costs of procuring energy through the Illinois Settlement Legislation. ComEd’s counterparty credit risk is mitigated by its ability to recover realized energy costs through customer rates. See Note 34 — Regulatory Matters of the Exelon 20172018 Form 10-K for additional information.
PECO’s unsecured credit used by the suppliers represents PECO’s net credit exposure. As of March 31, 2018,2019, PECO had no material net credit exposure to its electric suppliers.

PECO’s natural gas procurement plan is reviewed and approved annually on a prospective basis by the PAPUC. PECO’s counterparty credit risk under its natural gas supply and asset management agreements is mitigated by its ability to recover its natural gas costs through the PGC, which allows PECO to adjust rates quarterly to reflect realized natural gas prices. PECO does not obtain collateral from suppliers under its natural gas supply and asset management agreements. As of March 31, 2018,2019, PECO had no material credit exposure under its natural gas supply and asset management agreements with investment grade suppliers.

BGE’s full requirement wholesale electric power agreements that govern the terms of its electric supply procurement contracts, which define a supplier’s performance assurance requirements, allow a supplier, or its guarantor, to meet its credit requirements with a certain amount of unsecured credit. As of March 31, 2018,2019, BGE's net credit exposure to suppliers was immaterial.
BGE’s regulated gas business is exposed to market-price risk. At March 31, 2018, BGE had2019, BGE's credit exposure of approximately $12 million related to off-system sales, which is mitigated by parental guarantees, letters of credit or right to offset clauses within other contracts with those third-party suppliers.suppliers, was immaterial.
Pepco’s, DPL's and ACE's power procurement contracts provide suppliers with a certain amount of unsecured credit. The amount of unsecured credit is determined based on the supplier’s lowest credit rating from the major credit rating agencies and the supplier’s tangible net worth. The credit position is based on the initial market price, which is the forward price of energy on the day a transaction is executed, compared to the current forward price curve for energy. To the extent that the forward price curve for energy exceeds the initial market price, the supplier is required to post collateral to the extent the credit exposure is greater than the supplier’s unsecured credit limit. The unsecured credit used by the suppliers represents Pepco’s, DPL's and ACE's net credit exposure. As of March 31, 2018,2019, Pepco’s, DPL's and ACE's net credit exposures to suppliers were immaterial.
Pepco is permitted to recover its costs of procuring energy through the MDPSC-approved and DCPSC-approved procurement tariffs. DPL is permitted to recover its costs of procuring energy through the MDPSC-approved and DPSC-approved procurement tariffs. ACE is permitted to recover its costs of procuring energy through the NJBPU-approved procurement tariffs. Pepco’s, DPL's and ACE's counterparty credit risks are mitigated by their ability to recover realized energy costs through customer rates. See Note 32 — Regulatory Matters of the Exelon 20172018 Form 10-K for additional information.
DPL’s natural gas procurement plan is reviewed and approved annually on a prospective basis by the DPSC. DPL’s counterparty credit risk under its natural gas supply and asset management agreements is mitigated by its ability to recover its natural gas costs through the GCR, which allows DPL to adjust rates annually to reflect realized natural gas prices. To the extent that the fair value of the transactions in a net loss position exceeds the unsecured credit threshold, then collateral is required to be posted in an amount equal to the amount by which the unsecured credit threshold is exceeded. Exchange-traded contracts are required to be fully collateralized without regard to the credit rating of the holder.

Collateral (All Registrants)
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.

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:

(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.
Generation had cash collateral posted of $742$542 million and letters of credit posted of $493$289 million and cash collateral held of $66$56 million and letters of credit held of $46$26 million as of March 31, 20182019 for external counterparties with derivative positions. Generation had cash collateral posted of $497$418 million and letters of credit posted of $293$367 million and cash collateral held of $35$47 million and letters of credit held of $33$44 million at December 31, 20172018 for external counterparties with derivative positions. In the event of a credit downgrade below investment grade (i.e., to BB+ by S&P or Ba1 by Moody’s), Generation would have been required to post additional collateral of $1.9 billion and $1.8$2.1 billion as of March 31, 20182019 and December 31, 2017,2018, respectively. These amounts represent the potential additional collateral required after giving consideration to offsetting derivative and non-derivative positions under master netting agreements.
Generation’s and Exelon’sExelon's interest rate swaps contain provisions that, in the event of a merger, if Generation’sExelon’s debt ratings were to materially weaken, it would be in violation of these provisions, resulting in the ability of the counterparty to terminate the agreement prior to maturity. Collateralization would not be required under any circumstance. Termination of the agreement could result in a settlement payment by Exelon or the counterparty on any interest rate swap in a net liability position. The settlement amount would be equal to the fair value of the swap on the termination date. As of March 31, 2018, Generation's and2019, Exelon's swaps were in an asseta liability position of $13 million and $9 million, respectively.

See Note 2524 — Segment Information of the Exelon 20172018 Form 10-K for furtheradditional information regarding the letters of credit supporting the cash collateral.
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. Under the terms of ComEd’s standard block energy contracts, collateral postings are one-sided from suppliers, including Generation, should exposures between market prices and benchmark prices exceed established unsecured credit limits outlined in the contracts. As of March 31, 2018,2019, ComEd held approximately $9$11 million in collateral from suppliers in association with energy procurement contracts. Under the terms of ComEd's REC and ZEC contracts, collateral postings are required to cover a percentage of the REC and ZEC contract value. As of March 31, 2018,2019, ComEd held approximately $14$31 million in collateral from suppliers for REC and ZEC contract obligations. Under the terms of ComEd’s long-term renewable energy contracts, collateral postings are required from suppliers for both RECs and energy. The REC portion is a fixed value and the energy portion is one-sided from suppliers should the forward market prices exceed contract prices. As of March 31, 2018,2019, ComEd held approximately $19 million in collateral from suppliers for the long-term renewable energy contracts. If ComEd lost its investment grade credit rating as of March 31, 2018,2019, it would have been required to post approximately $10$8 million of collateral to its counterparties. See Note 34 — Regulatory Matters of the Exelon 20172018 Form 10-K for additional information.
PECO’s natural gas procurement contracts contain provisions that could require PECO to post collateral. This collateral may be posted in the form of cash or credit support with thresholds contingent upon PECO’s credit rating

from the major credit rating agencies. The collateral and credit support requirements vary by contract and by counterparty. As of March 31, 2018,2019, PECO was not required to post collateral for any of these agreements. If PECO lost its investment grade credit rating as of March 31, 2018,2019, PECO could have been required to post approximately $33$34 million of collateral to its counterparties.
PECO’s supplier master agreements that govern the terms of its DSP Program contracts do not contain provisions that would require PECO to post collateral.
BGE’s natural gas procurement contracts contain provisions that could require BGE to post collateral. This collateral may be posted in the form of cash or credit support with thresholds contingent upon BGE’s credit rating from the major credit rating agencies. The collateral and credit support requirements vary by contract and by counterparty. As of March 31, 2018,2019, BGE was not required to post collateral for any of these agreements. If BGE lost its investment grade credit rating as of March 31, 2018,2019, BGE could have been required to post approximately $49$46 million of collateral to its counterparties.
DPL's natural gas procurement contracts contain provisions that could require DPL to post collateral. To the extent that the fair value of the natural gas derivative transaction in a net loss position exceeds the unsecured credit threshold, then collateral is required to be posted in an amount equal to the amount by which the unsecured credit threshold is exceeded. The DPL obligations are standalone, without the guaranty of PHI. If DPL lost its investment grade credit rating as of March 31, 2018,2019, DPL could have been required to post an additional amount of approximately $14 million of collateral to its counterparties.

Corporate Tax Reform (All Registrants)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 March 31, 2019, $502 million was outstanding. 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 Pacific Gas and Electric Company (PG&E) through a PPA. On December 22, 2017, President Trump signed the TCJA into law. The TCJA makes many significant changes to the Internal Revenue Code, including, but not limited to, (1) reducingJanuary 29, 2019, PG&E filed for protection under Chapter 11 of the U.S. federal corporate tax rate from 35%Bankruptcy Code, which created an event of default for Antelope Valley’s nonrecourse debt that provides the lender with a right to 21%; (2) creatingaccelerate amounts outstanding under the loan such that they would become immediately due and payable. As a 30% limitation on deductible interest expense (not applicable to regulated utilities); (3) allowing 100% expensing for the cost of qualified property (not applicable to regulated utilities); (4) eliminating the domestic production activities deduction; (5) eliminating the corporate alternative minimum tax and changing how existing alternative minimum tax credits can be realized; and (6) changing rules related to uses and limitations of net operating loss carryforwards created in tax years beginning after December 31, 2017. The most significant change that impacts the Registrants is the reductionresult of the corporate federal income tax rateongoing event of default and the absence of a waiver from 35% to 21% beginning January 1, 2018.
Pursuant to the enactment oflender foregoing their acceleration rights, the TCJA, the Registrants remeasured their existing deferred income tax balancesdebt was reclassified as current in Exelon’s and Generation’s Consolidated Balance Sheets as of DecemberMarch 31, 2019. Further, distributions from Antelope Valley to EGR IV are currently suspended.
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 reflect the decreaseand are pledged as collateral for this financing. The loan is scheduled to mature on November 28, 2024. As of March 31, 2019, $834 million was outstanding.
Although Antelope Valley’s debt is in default, it is nonrecourse to EGR IV. However, if in the corporate income tax ratefuture Antelope Valley were to file for bankruptcy protection as a result of events culminating from 35% to 21%, which resulted in a material decrease to their net deferred income tax liability balances as shown in the table below. Generation recorded a corresponding net decrease to income tax expense, while the Utility Registrants recorded corresponding regulatory liabilities or assets to the extent such amounts are probable of settlement or recovery through customer rates and an adjustment to income tax expense for all other amounts. The amount and timing of potential settlements of the established net regulatory liabilities will be determined by the Utility Registrants’ respective rate regulators, subject to certain IRS “normalization” rules. See Note 6 — Regulatory Matters for further information.
The Registrants have completed their assessment of the majority of the applicable provisions in the TCJA and have recorded the associated impacts as of December 31, 2017. As discussed further below, under SAB 118 issued by the SEC in December 2017, the Registrants have recorded provisional income tax amounts as of December 31, 2017 for changes pursuant to the TCJA related to depreciation for which the impacts could not be finalized upon issuance of the Registrants’ financial statements, but for which reasonable estimates could be determined.PG&E’s bankruptcy proceedings this

For property acquiredwould represent an event of default for EGR IV’s debt that would provide the lender with an opportunity to accelerate EGR IV’s debt.
See Note 13— Debt and placed-in-service after September 27, 2017, the TCJA repeals 50% bonus depreciation for all taxpayers and in addition provides for 100% expensing for taxpayers other than regulated utilities. As a result, Generation will be required to evaluate the contractual terms of its fourth quarter 2017 capital additions and determine if they qualify for 100% expensing under the TCJA as compared to 50% bonus depreciation under prior tax law. Similarly, the Utility Registrants will be required to evaluate the contractual terms of their fourth quarter 2017 capital additions to determine whether they still qualify for the prior tax law’s 50% bonus depreciation as compared to no bonus depreciation pursuant to the TCJA.
At Generation, any required changes to the provisional estimates during the measurement period related to the above item would result in an adjustment to current income tax expense at 35% and a corresponding adjustment to deferred income tax expense at 21% and such changes could be material to Generation’s future results of operations. At the Utility Registrants, any required changes to the provisional estimates would result in the recording of regulatory assets or liabilities to the extent such amounts are probable of settlement or recovery through customer rates and a net change to income tax expense for any other amounts.
The Registrants expect any final adjustments to the provisional amounts to be recorded by the third quarter of 2018, which could be material to the Registrants’ future results of operations or financial positions.

While the Registrants have recorded the impacts of the TCJA based on their interpretation of the provisions as enacted, it is expected that technical corrections or other forms of guidance will be issued during 2018, which could result in material changes to previously finalized provisions. At this time, most states have not provided guidance regarding TCJA impacts and may issue guidance in 2018 which may impact estimates.

As a result, the amount of customer benefits resulting from the TCJA subject to the discretion of PECO's rate regulators are lower relative to the other Utility Registrants. Refer to Note 3 - Regulatory Matters for additional information.
The net regulatory liability amounts subject to the IRS normalization rules generally relate to property, plant and equipment with remaining useful lives ranging from 30 to 40 years across the Utility Registrants.  For the other amounts, rate regulators could require the passing back of amounts to customers over shorter time frames.

In 2016, the Tax Court held that Exelon was not entitled to defer a gain on its 1999 like-kind exchange transaction. In addition to the tax and interest related to the gain deferral, the Tax Court also ruled that Exelon was liable for penalties and interest on the penalties. Exelon had fully paid the amounts assessed resulting from the Tax Court decision in 2017. In September 2017, Exelon appealed the Tax Court decision to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit. In October 2018, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit affirmed the Tax Court’s decision. Exelon filed a petition seeking rehearing of the Seventh Circuit’s decision, but the Seventh Circuit denied that petition in December 2018.
In the first quarter of 2019, Exelon elected not to seek a further review by the U.S. Supreme Court. As a result, Exelon's and ComEd's unrecognized tax benefits decreased by approximately $33 million and $2 million, respectively, in the first quarter of 2019.
Reasonably possible the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits could significantly increase or decrease within 12 months after the reporting date
Like-Kind Exchange
As of March 31, 2018, Exelon and ComEd have approximately $33 million and $2 million, respectively, of unrecognized federal and state income tax benefits that could significantly decrease within the 12 months after the reporting date due to a final resolution of the like-kind exchange litigation described below. The recognition of these unrecognized tax benefits would decrease Exelon and ComEd's effective tax rate.

Settlement of Income Tax Audits, Refund Claims, and Litigation
As of March 31, 2018,2019, Exelon, Generation, BGE, PHI Pepco, DPL, and ACE have approximately $679$425 million, $465$411 million, $120 million, $94 million, $59 million, $21$14 million and $14 million of 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, and the outcomes of pending court cases. Of the above unrecognized tax benefits, Exelon and Generation have $458$411 million that, if recognized, would decrease the effective tax rate. The unrecognized tax benefits related to BGE, Pepco, DPL, and ACE, if recognized, may be included in future regulated base rates and that portion would have no impact to the effective tax rate.
Other Income Tax Matters
Like-Kind Exchange (Exelon and ComEd)
Exelon, through its ComEd subsidiary, took a position on its 1999 income tax return to defer approximately $1.2 billion of tax gain on the sale of ComEd’s fossil generating assets. The gain was deferred by reinvesting a portion of the proceeds from the sale in qualifying replacement property under the like-kind exchange provisions of the IRC. The like-kind exchange replacement property purchased by Exelon included interests in three municipal-owned electric generation facilities which were properly leased back to the municipalities. As previously disclosed, Exelon terminated its investment in one of the leases in 2014 and the remaining two leases were terminated in 2016.
The IRS asserted that the Exelon purchase and leaseback transaction was substantially similar to a leasing transaction, known as a SILO, which is a listed transaction that the IRS has identified as a potentially abusive tax shelter. Thus, they disagreed with Exelon's position and asserted that the entire gain of approximately $1.2 billion was taxable in 1999. In 2013, the IRS issued a notice of deficiency to Exelon and Exelon filed a petition to initiate litigation in the United States Tax Court. In 2016, the Tax Court held that Exelon was not entitled to defer gain on the transaction. In addition to the tax and interest related to the gain deferral, the Tax Court also ruled that Exelon was liable for $90 million in penalties and interest on the penalties. Exelon has fully paid the amounts assessed resulting from the Tax Court decision.
In September 2017, Exelon appealed the Tax Court decision to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit and a decision is expected in 2018.
State Income Tax Law Changes
On April 24, 2018, Maryland enacted companion bills, House Bill 1794 and Senate Bill 1090, providing for a phase in of a single sales factor apportionment formula from the current three factor formula for determining an entity's Maryland state income taxes. The single sales factor will be fully phased by 2022.
In the second quarter of 2018, Exelon, Generation, PHI, DPL, and Pepco expect to record an estimated one-time increase to deferred income taxes of approximately $17 million, $5 million, $18 million, $1 million and $17 million, respectively. At PHI, DPL and Pepco, the increase to the Maryland deferred income tax liability will be offset by regulatory assets. Further, the change in tax law is not expected to have a material ongoing impact to Exelon's, Generation's, PHI's, DPL's or Pepco's future results of operations.

13. Nuclear Decommissioning (Exelon and Generation)
Nuclear Decommissioning Asset Retirement Obligations (Exelon and Generation)
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 following table provides a rollforward of the nuclear decommissioning ARO reflected onin Exelon’s and Generation’s Consolidated Balance Sheets from December 31, 20172018 to March 31, 2018:2019:

(b)Includes $760 million and $772 million of ARO related to Oyster Creek which is classified as Liabilities held for sale in Exelon's and Generation's Consolidated Balance Sheets at March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively. See Note 3 — Mergers, Acquisitions and Dispositions for additional information.
During the three months ended March 31, 2018,2019, Exelon's and Generation’s total nuclear ARO increased by approximately $145$324 million, primarilyprimarily reflecting the impacts of ARO updates completed during first quarter 2019 and the accretion of the ARO liability due to the passage of timetime. The first quarter 2019 ARO update includes an increase of approximately $330 million for a change in the assumed retirement timing probabilities for certain economically challenged nuclear plants and a $110 million decrease for the impactimpacts of revised decommissioning cost estimates for TMI which incorporate site specific decommissioning planning activities in anticipation of its September 2019 shutdown date. Approximately $85 million of the February 2, 2018 announcement to retire Oyster Creek at the end of its current operating cycle by October 2018. Refer to Note 8 — Early Plant Retirements for additional information regarding the announced early retirement of Oyster Creek.
Nuclear Decommissioning Trust Fund Investments
NDT funds have been established for each generation station unit to satisfy Generation’s nuclear decommissioning obligations. Generally, NDT funds established forTMI ARO adjustment resulted in a particular unit may not be used to fund the decommissioning obligations of any other unit.
The NDT funds associated with Generation’s nuclear units have been funded with amounts collected from the previous ownersdecrease in Operating and their respective utility customers. PECO is authorized to collect funds, in revenues, for decommissioning the former PECO nuclear plants through regulated rates, and these collections are scheduled through the operating lives of the former PECO plants. The amounts collected from PECO customers are remitted to Generation and deposited into the NDT funds for the unit for which funds are collected. Every five years, PECO files a rate adjustment with the PAPUC that reflects PECO’s calculations of the estimated amount needed to decommission each of the former PECO units based on updated fund balances and estimated decommissioning costs. The rate adjustment is used to determine the amount collectible from PECO customers. The most recent rate adjustment occurred on January 1, 2018, and the effective rates currently yield annual collections of approximately $4 million. The next five-year adjustment is expected to be reflected in rates charged to PECO customers effective January 1, 2023. See Note 15 — Asset Retirement Obligations of Exelon's 2017 Form 10-K, for information regarding the amount collected from PECO ratepayers for decommissioning costs.
Exelon and Generation had NDT fund investments totaling $13,275 million and $13,349 million at March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively.

Zion Station Decommissioning
On September 1, 2010, Generation completed an Asset Sale Agreement (ASA) with EnergySolutions Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries, EnergySolutions, LLC (EnergySolutions) and ZionSolutions, under which ZionSolutions has assumed responsibility for decommissioning Zion Station, which is located in Zion, Illinois and ceased operation in 1998. See Note 15 — Asset Retirement Obligations of the Exelon 2017 Form 10-K foradditional information regarding the specific treatmentannounced pending sale of assets, includingOyster Creek. The NDT funds also include $163 million and decommissioning liabilities transferred in$144 million for the transaction.
ZionSolutions is subject to certain restrictions on its ability to request reimbursements fromcurrent portion of the Zion Station NDT funds as defined within the ASA. Therefore, the transfer of the Zion Stationat March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively, which are included in Other current assets did not qualify for asset sale accounting treatmentin Exelon's and as a result, the related NDT funds were reclassified to Pledged assets for Zion Station decommissioning within Generation’s and Exelon’s Consolidated Balance Sheets and will continue to be measured in the same manner as prior to the completion of the transaction. Additionally, the transferred ARO for decommissioning was replaced with a Payable for Zion Station decommissioning in Generation’s and Exelon’sGeneration's Consolidated Balance Sheets. Changes in the valueSee Note 17 — Supplemental Financial Information for additional information on activities of the Zion Station NDT assets, net of applicable taxes, are recorded as a change in the payable to ZionSolutions. At no point will the payable to ZionSolutions exceed the project budget of the costs remaining to decommission Zion Station. Generation has retained its obligation for the SNF. Following ZionSolutions’ completion of its contractual obligations and transfer of the NRC license to Generation, Generation will store the SNF at Zion Station until it is transferred to the DOE for ultimate disposal, and will complete all remaining decommissioning activities associated with the SNF dry storage facility. Generation has a liability of approximately $115 million which is included within the nuclearfunds.

Generation filed its biennial decommissioning funding status report with the NRC on March 30, 2017April 1, 2019 for all units except for Zion Station which is included in a separate report to the NRC submitted by ZionSolutions, (see Zion Station Decommissioning above).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. As a former PECO plant, financial assurance for decommissioning Peach Bottom Unit 1 is provided by the NDT fund, in addition to collections from PECO ratepayers. As discussed under Nuclear Decommissioning Trust Fund Investments above,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 15 — Asset Retirement Obligations of the Exelon 2018 Form 10-K for information regarding the amount collected from PECO ratepayers has been adjusted effective January 1, 2018.

or after January 1, 2001 participate in cash balance pension plans. Effective January 1, 2009, substantially all newly-hired union-represented employees participate in cash balance pension plans. Effective February 1, 2018, most newly-hired Generation and BSC non-represented employees are not eligible for pension benefits and will instead be eligible to receive an enhanced non-discretionary employer contribution in an Exelon defined contribution savings plan. Effective January 1, 2018, most newly-hired non-represented employees are not eligible for OPEB benefits and employees represented by Local 614 are not eligible for retiree health care benefits.
DuringEffective January 1, 2019, Exelon merged the first quarter of 2017, in connection withExelon Corporation Cash Balance Pension Plan (CBPP) into the acquisition of Fitzpatrick, Exelon established a new qualified pension plan and a new OPEB plan, and recorded a provisional obligation for Fitzpatrick employees based on information available at the merger date of $38 million and $11 million, respectively. As permitted by business combinations authoritative guidance, during the third quarter of 2017, Exelon updated those obligations based on a final valuation for Fitzpatrick employees asCorporation Retirement Program (ECRP). The merging of the merger date of March 31, 2017. The updated obligations forplans is not changing the benefits offered to the plan participants and, thus, has no impact on Exelon's pension obligation. However, beginning in 2019, actuarial losses and OPEB were $16 milliongains related to the CBPP and $17 million, respectively. Refer to Note 4 — Mergers, Acquisitions and Dispositions for additional discussionECRP are being amortized over participants’ average remaining service period of the acquisition of FitzPatrick.merged ECRP rather than each individual plan.
Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Benefits
During the first quarter of 2018,2019, Exelon received an updated valuation of its pension and OPEB to reflect actual census data as of January 1, 2018.2019. This valuation resulted in an increase to the pension and OPEB obligations of $23$75 million and $14$36 million, respectively.

16.    Earnings Per Share and Equity (Exelon)
Earnings per Share
Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income attributable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing net income attributable to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding, including the effect of issuing common stock assuming (i) stock options are exercised, and (ii) performance share awards and restricted stock awards are fully vested under the treasury stock method.
The following table sets forth the components of basic and diluted earnings per share and shows the effect of these stock options, performance share awards and restricted stock awards on the weighted average number of shares outstanding used in calculating diluted earnings per share:

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 $127 million, which will generate future earnings at Exelon and Generation. Investment costs, which are expected to be primarily capital in nature, will be recognized as incurred and recorded in Exelon's and Generation's financial statements. As of March 31, 2019, 27 MWs of new generation were developed and Exelon and Generation have incurred costs of $97 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 March 2019. The third and final 40 MW wind REC tranche will be conducted in 2022.
Pursuant to the various jurisdictions' merger approval conditions, over specified periods Pepco, DPL and ACE are not permitted to reduce employment levels due to involuntary attrition associated with the merger integration process and have made other commitments regarding hiring and relocation of positions.
Constellation Merger Commitments (Exelon and Generation)

As part of the MDPSC Order, Exelon agreed to develop or assist in the development of 285-300 MWs of new generation. Exelon and Generation have incurred $458 million towards satisfying the commitment for new generation development in the State of Maryland, with 220 MW of new generation in operations to date and 10 MW of this commitment satisfied through a liquidated damages payment made in the fourth quarter of 2016. The remaining 55MW is expected to be satisfied via payment of liquidated damages or execution of athird party PPA, rather than by Generation constructing renewable generating assets. As a result, as of March 31, 2018 Exelon’s and Generation’s Consolidated Balance Sheets include a $50 million liability within Deferred credits and other liabilities for this remaining commitment, to be paid on or before January 15, 2023 unless the period is extended by consent of Exelon and the State. Refer to Note 23 - Commitments and Contingencies of the Combined Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the Exelon 2017 Form 10-K for additional information regarding the Constellation Merger Commitments.

(a)Letters of credit (non-debt) - Exelon and certain of its subsidiaries maintain non-debt letters of credit to provide credit support for certain transactions as requested by third parties. Includes letters of credits issued under credit facility agreements arranged at minority and community banks and nonrecourse debt letters of credits.
(b)Surety bonds—Guarantees issued related to contract and commercial agreements, excluding bid bonds.
(c)(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 maximum lease term associated with these assets ranges from 3 to 8 years. The maximum potential obligation at the end of the minimum lease term would be $58$68 million, $17$22 million of which is a guarantee by Pepco, $24$28 million by DPL and $16$17 million by ACE. The minimum lease term associated with these assets ranges from 1 to 4 years. Historically, payments under the guarantees have not been made and PHI believes the likelihood of payments being required under the guarantees is remote.
Nuclear Insurance (Exelon and Generation)
. Generation is subject to liability, property damage and other risks associated with major incidents at any of its nuclear stations. Generation has mitigated its financial exposure to these risks through insurance and other industry risk-sharing provisions.
The Price-Anderson Act was enacted to ensure the availability of funds for public liability claims arising from an incident at any of the U.S. licensed nuclear facilities and also to limit the liability of nuclear

reactor owners for such claims from any single incident. As of March 31, 2018,2019, the current liability limit per incident is $13.2$14.1 billion and is subject to change to account for the effects of inflation and changes in the number of licensed reactorsreactors. Changes to account for the effects of inflation occur at least once every five years with the last adjustment effective September 10, 2013.November 1, 2018. In accordance with the Price-Anderson Act, Generation maintains financial protection at levels equal to the amount of liability insurance available from private sources through the purchase of private nuclear energy liability insurance for public liability claims that could arise in the event of an incident. Effective January 1, 2017, the required amount of nuclear energy liability insurance purchased is $450 million for each operating site. Claims exceeding that amount are covered through mandatory participation in a financial protection pool, as required by the Price Anderson-Act, which provides the additional $13.0$13.6 billion per incident in funds available for public liability claims. Participation in this secondary financial protection pool requires the operator of each reactor to fund its proportionate share of costs for any single incident that exceeds the primary layer of financial protection. Exelon’s share of this secondary layer would be approximately $2.8$3.1 billion, however any amounts payable under this secondary layer would be capped at $420$454 million per year.

In addition, the U.S. Congress could impose revenue-raising measures on the nuclear industry to pay public liability claims exceeding the $13.2$14.1 billion limit for a single incident.
As part of the execution of the NOSA on April 1, 2014, Generation executed an Indemnity Agreement pursuant to which Generation agreed to indemnify EDF and its affiliates 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. See Note 2 — Variable Interest Entities of the Exelon 20172018 Form 10-K for additional information on Generation’s operations relating to CENG.
Generation is required each year to report to the NRC the current levels and sources of property insurance that demonstrates Generation possesses sufficient financial resources to stabilize and decontaminate a reactor and reactor station site in the event of an accident. The property insurance maintained for each facility is currently provided through insurance policies purchased from NEIL, an industry mutual insurance company of which Generation is a member.
NEIL may declare distributions to its members as a result of favorable operating experience. In recent years NEIL has made distributions to its members, but Generation cannot predict the level of future distributions or if they will continue at all. In March 2018, NEIL declared a supplemental distribution. Generation's portion of the supplemental distribution declared by NEIL is estimated to be $31 million and was recorded as a reduction to Operating and maintenance expense within Exelon and Generation’s Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income for the three months ended March 31, 2018, with cash expected to be received during the second quarter 2018.
Premiums paid to NEIL by its members are also subject to a potential assessment for adverse loss experience in the form of a retrospective premium obligation. NEIL has never assessed this retrospective premium since its formation in 1973, and Generation cannot predict the level of future assessments if any. The current maximum aggregate annual retrospective premium obligation for Generation is approximately $360$335 million. NEIL requires its members to maintain an investment grade credit rating or to ensure collectability of their annual retrospective premium obligation by providing a financial guarantee, letter of credit, deposit premium, or some other means of assurance.
NEIL provides “all risk” property damage, decontamination and premature decommissioning insurance for each station for losses resulting from damage to its nuclear plants, either due to accidents or acts of terrorism. If the decision is made to decommission the facility, a portion of the insurance proceeds will be allocated to a fund, which Generation is required by the NRC to maintain, to provide for decommissioning the facility. In the event of an insured loss, Generation is unable to predict the timing of the availability of insurance proceeds to Generation and the amount of such proceeds that would be available. In the event that one or more acts of terrorism cause accidental property damage within a

twelve-month period from the first accidental property damage under one or more policies for all insured plants, the maximum recovery by Exelon will be an aggregate of $3.2 billion plus such additional amounts as the insurer may recover for all such losses from reinsurance, indemnity and any other source, applicable to such losses.
For its insured losses, Generation is self-insured to the extent that losses are within the policy deductible or exceed the amount of insurance maintained. Uninsured losses and other expenses, to the extent not recoverable from insurers or the nuclear industry, could also be borne by Generation. Any such losses could have a material adverse effect on Exelon’s and Generation’s financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
Environmental Remediation Matters
General.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 onin the Registrants' financial conditions, results of operations and cash flows.statements.

MGP Sites (Exelon, ComEd, PECO, BGE, PHI and DPL).
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 identified 42 sites, 2021 of which have been remediated and approved by the Illinois EPA or the U.S. EPA and 2221 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 2022.2023.
PECO has identified 26 sites, 17 of which have been remediated in accordance with applicable PA DEP regulatory requirements and 9 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 2022.
BGE has identified 13 former gas manufacturing or purification sites, 9 of which the remediation hashave been completedremediated and approved by the MDE and 4 that require some level of remediation and/or ongoing activity. BGE has determined that a loss associated withexpects the majority of the remediation at these sites is probable and has recorded an estimated liability, which is included in the table below. However, it is reasonably possible that BGE’s cost of remediation for one of its sites could be up to $13 million.continue through at least 2019.
DPL has identified 3 sites, for 2 of which remediation has been completed and approved by the MDE or the Delaware Department of Natural Resources and Environmental Control.

The remaining site is 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. See Note 6 — Regulatory Matters for additional information regarding the associated regulatory assets. 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.
As of March 31, 20182019 and December 31, 2017,2018, the Registrants had accrued the following undiscounted amounts for environmental liabilities in Other current liabilities and Other deferred credits and other liabilities within their respective Consolidated Balance Sheets:

Cotter Corporation.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. On May 29, 2008, the EPA issued a Record of Decision (ROD) approving a landfill cover remediation approach. Generation had previously recorded an estimated liability for its anticipated share of a landfill cover remedy that was estimated to cost approximately $90 million in total. By letter dated January 11, 2010, the EPA requested that the PRPs perform a supplemental feasibility study for a remediation alternative that would involve complete excavation of the radiological contamination. On September 30, 2011, the PRPs submitted the supplemental feasibility study to the EPA for review. Since June 2012, the EPA has requested that the PRPs perform a series of additional analyses and groundwater and soil sampling as part of the supplemental feasibility study. This further analysis was focused on a partial excavation remedial option. The PRPs provided the draft final Remedial Investigation and Feasibility Study (RI/FS) to the EPA in January 2018, which formed the basis for EPA’s proposed remedy selection, as further discussed below. ThereIncluding Cotter, there are currently 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.
On February 1,In September 2018 the EPA announcedissued its Record of Decision (ROD) Amendment for the selection of the final remedy. The ROD modified the EPA’s previously proposed remedy involvingplan for partial excavation of the site with an enhanced landfill cover.radiological materials by reducing the depths of the excavation. The proposedROD also allows for variation in depths of excavation depending on radiological concentrations. The EPA and the PRPs are negotiating Consent Agreements to design and implement the ROD remedy, was open for public comment through April 23, 2018 and Generation currently expects that a ROD willnegotiations are expected to be issued duringcompleted in the thirdfirst quarter of 2018. Thereafter, the EPA will seek to enter into a Consent Decree with the PRPs to effectuate the remedy, which Generation currently expects will occur in late 2018 or early 2019.2020. The estimated cost of the remedy, taking into account the current EPA technical requirements and the total costs expected to be incurred by the PRPs in fully executing the remedy, is approximately $340$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 for the entire remediation effort.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 ultimate required remediation 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 Generation’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 conditions, results of operations and cash flows.statements.
On January 16, 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. The PRPs have been provided with a draft statement of work that will form the basis of an Administrative Settlement Agreement and Order on Consent for the performance by the PRPs of the groundwater RI/FS and reimbursement of EPA’s oversight costs. The purposes of this new RI/FS are to define the nature and extent of any groundwater contamination from the West Lake Landfill site, determine the potential risk posed to human health and the environment, and evaluate remedial alternatives. Generation estimates the undiscounted cost for the groundwater RI/FS for West Lake to be approximately $20 million and Generation 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 will be required and 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 results of operations and cash flows.

During December 2015, the EPA took two actions related to the West Lake Landfill designed to abate what it termed as imminent and dangerous conditions at the landfill. The first involved installation by the PRPs of a non-combustible surface cover to protect against surface fires in areas where radiological materials are believed to have been disposed. Generation has accrued what it believes to be an adequate amount to cover its anticipated liability for this interim action, and the work is expected to be completed in 2018. The second action involved EPA's public statement that it will require the PRPs to construct a barrier wall in an adjacent landfill to prevent a subsurface fire from spreading to those areas of the West Lake Landfill where radiological materials are believed to have been disposed. At this time, Generation believes that the requirement to build a barrier wall is remote in light of other technologies that have been employed by the adjacent landfill owner. Finally, oneOne of the other PRPs the landfill owner and operator of the adjacent landfill, has indicated that 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 resultsat 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 operationsthe groundwater RI/FS. The purpose of this RI/FS is to define the nature and cash flows.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 $20 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, 8, 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 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. The DOJ has not yet formally advised the PRPs of the amount that it is seeking, but it is believed to be approximately $90 million from all PRPs. ThePursuant to a series of annual agreements since 2011, the DOJ and the PRPs agreed to tollhave tolled the statute of limitations until August 20182019 so that settlement discussions could proceed. 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.
Commencing in February 2012, a number of lawsuits have been filed in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Missouri. Among the defendants were Exelon, Generation and ComEd, all of which were subsequently dismissed from the case, as well as Cotter, which remains a defendant. The suits allege that individuals living in the North St. Louis area developed some form of cancer or other serious illness due to Cotter's negligent or reckless conduct in processing, transporting, storing, handling and/or disposing of radioactive materials. Plaintiffs are asserting public liability claims under the Price-Anderson Act. Their state law claims for negligence, strict liability, emotional distress, and medical monitoring have been dismissed. The complaints do not contain specific damage claims. In the event of a finding of liability against Cotter, it is reasonably possibleprobable that Generation would be financially responsible due to its indemnification responsibilities of Cotter described above. The court has dismissed a number of the lawsuits as untimely, and thatwhich has been upheld on appeal. The partiesCotter and the remaining plaintiffs have engaged in settlement discussions pursuant to court-ordered mediationmediation. During the second quarter of 2018, Generation determined a loss was probable based on the advancement of settlement proceedings and it is expected that resolution of this matter will not have a material, unfavorable impact on Exelon’s and Generation's financial conditions, results of operations and cash flows.recorded an immaterial liability.
Benning Road Site.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. That generating facility was deactivated in June 2012 and plant structure demolition was

completed in July 2015. 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 Remediation Investigation (RI)/ Feasibility Study (FS) for the Benning Road site and an approximately 10 to 15-acre portion of the adjacent Anacostia River. The RI/FS will form the basis for the remedial actions for the Benning Road site and for the Anacostia River sediment associated with the site. The Consent Decree does not obligate Pepco or Pepco Energy Services to pay for or perform any remediation work, but it is anticipated that DOEE will look to Pepco and Pepco Energy Services to assume responsibility for cleanup of any conditions in the river that are determined to be attributable to past activities at the Benning Road site. Pursuant to Exelon's March 23, 2016 acquisition of PHI, Pepco Energy Services was transferred to Generation.
Since 2013, Pepco and Pepco Energy Services (now Generation) have been performing RI work and have submitted multiple draft RI reports to the DOEE. Once the RI work is completed, Pepco and Generation will issue a draft “final” RI report for review and comment by DOEE and the public. Pepco and Generation will then proceed to develop an FS to evaluate possible remedial alternatives for submission to DOEE. The Court has established a schedule for completion of the RI and FS, and approval by the DOEE, by May 6, 2019.September 16, 2021.
Upon DOEE’s approval of the final RI and FS Reports, Pepco and Generation will have satisfied their obligations under the Consent Decree. At that point, DOEE will prepare a Proposed Plan regarding further response actions. After considering public comment on the Proposed Plan, DOEE will issue a Record of Decision identifying any further response actions determined to be necessary.
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 RI/FS being performed by Pepco and Generation, DOEE and certain federal agencies have been conducting a separate RI/FS focused on the entire tidal reach of the Anacostia River extending from just north of the Maryland-D.C. boundary line to the confluence of the Anacostia and Potomac Rivers. In March 2016, DOEE released a draft of the river-wideriver-

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

wide RI Report for public review and comment. 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 addressing the entire tidal reach of the river 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 RI/FS. Pepco responded that it will participate in the Consultative Working Group, but its participation is not an acceptance of any financial responsibility beyond the work that will be performed at the Benning Road site described above. In April 2018, DOEE has advised the Consultative Working Group that the federal and DOEE authorities conducted thereleased a draft remedial investigation report for public review and a draft of that report was releasedcomment. Pepco submitted written comments to the draft RI and participated in a public on April 1, 2018. Written comments will be accepted by the Agencies until May 14, 2018 and a Public Meeting to present the finding of the RI is scheduled for April 24, 2018.hearing. Pepco intends to submit comments, participate in the Public Hearing, and continue itscontinues outreach efforts as appropriate to the agencies, governmental officials, community organizations and other key stakeholders. A feasibility study of potential remedies is being prepared by the Agencies and is scheduled to be released in the late summer or early fall of this year. DOEE currently is working under a statutorily mandated date to complete the Record of Decision selecting the final remedy for the project by June 30, 2018. However, on January 11,In May 2018 the DOEE requested at a hearing of the District of Columbia Council Committeeextended the deadline for completion of the Environment that this statutory deadline be extendedRecord of Decision from June 30, 2018 until December 31, 2019 to reflect the time necessary to complete the investigation.

An appropriate liability for Pepco’s share of investigation costs has been accrued and is included in the table above.

In July 2010, PHI sold the wholesale power generation business of Conectiv Energy Holdings, Inc. and substantially all of its subsidiaries (Conectiv Energy) to Calpine Corporation (Calpine). Under New Jersey’s Industrial Site Recovery Act (ISRA), the transfer of ownership triggered an obligation on the part of Conectiv Energy to remediate any environmental contamination at each of the nine Conectiv Energy generating facility sites located in New Jersey. Undercontaminants. The assessment of Natural Resource Damages (NRD) typically takes place following cleanup because cleanups sometimes also effectively restore habitat. During the termssecond quarter of 2018, Pepco became aware that the sale, Calpine has assumed responsibility for performing the ISRA-required remediation and for the payment of all related ISRA compliance costs up to $10 million. Predecessor PHI was obligated to indemnify Calpine for any ISRA compliance remediation costs in excess of $10 million. According to PHI’s estimates, the costs of ISRA-required remediation activities at the nine generating facility sites located in New JerseyTrustees are in the range of approximately $7 million to $18 million, and predecessor PHI recorded an estimated liability for its share of the estimated clean-up costs. Pursuant to Exelon’s March 2016 acquisition of PHI, the Conectiv Energy legal entity was transferred to Generation and the liability for Predecessor PHI's share of the estimated clean- up costs was also transferred to Generation and is included in the table above as a liability of Generation. The responsibility to indemnify Calpine is shared by PHI and Generation. 
Brandywine Fly Ash Disposal Site. In February 2013, Pepco received a letter from the MDE requesting that Pepco investigate the extent of waste on a Pepco right-of-way that traverses the Brandywine fly ash disposal site in Brandywine, Prince George’s County, Maryland, owned by NRG Energy, Inc. (as successor to GenOn MD Ash Management, LLC) (NRG). In July 2013, while reserving its rights and related defenses under a 2000 agreement covering the salebeginning stages of this site, Pepco indicated its willingnessprocess that often takes many years beyond the remedial decision to investigate the extent of, and propose an appropriate closure plan to address, ash on the right-of-way. Pepco submitted a schedule for development of a closure plan to MDE on September 30, 2013 and, by letter dated October 18, 2013, MDE approved the schedule.

Pepco has determinedconcluded that a loss associated with this matterthe eventual NRD assessment is probable and has recorded an estimated liability, which is included inreasonably possible.

Pepco believes thatvery early stage of the costs incurred in this matter may be recoverable from NRG underassessment process it cannot reasonably estimate the 2000 sale agreement, but has not recorded an associated receivable for any potential recovery.range of loss.
Litigation and Regulatory Matters
PHI Merger
In July 2015, the OPC, Public Citizen, Inc., the Sierra Club and the Chesapeake Climate Action Network (CCAN) filed motions to stay the MDPSC order approving the Exelon and PHI merger. The Circuit Court judge issued an order denying the motions for stay on August 12, 2015. On January 8, 2016, the Circuit Court judge affirmed the MDPSC’s order approving the merger and denied the petitions for judicial review filed by the OPC, the Sierra Club, CCAN and Public Citizen, Inc.  On January 19, 2016, the OPC filed a notice of appeal to the Maryland Court of Special Appeals, and on January 21, the Sierra Club and CCAN filed notices of appeal. On January 27, 2017, the Maryland Court of Special Appeals affirmed the Circuit Court's judgment that the MDPSC did not err in approving the merger. The OPC and Sierra Club filed petitions seeking further review in the Court of Appeals of Maryland, which is the highest court in Maryland. On June 21, 2017, the Court of Appeals granted discretionary review of the January 27, 2017 decision by the Maryland Court of Special Appeals. The Maryland Court of Appeals will review the OPC argument that the MDPSC did not properly consider the acquisition premium

paid to PHI shareholders under Maryland’s merger approval standard and the Sierra Club’s argument that the merger would harm the renewable and distributed generation markets. The two lower courts examining these issues rejected these arguments, which Exelon believes are without merit. All briefs have been filed and oral arguments were presented to the court on October 10, 2017.
Asbestos Personal Injury Claims
Exelon (Exelon and GenerationGeneration). 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 March 31, 20182019 and December 31, 2017,2018, Generation had recorded estimated liabilities of approximately $76$77 million and $78$79 million, respectively, in total for asbestos-related bodily injury claims. As of March 31, 2018,2019, approximately $21$25 million of this amount related to 232239 open claims presented to Generation, while the remaining $55$52 million is for estimated future asbestos-related bodily injury claims anticipated to arise through 2050, 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.
On November 22, 2013, the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania held that the Pennsylvania Workers Compensation Act does not apply to an employee’s disability or death resulting from occupational disease, such as diseases related to asbestos exposure, which manifests more than 300 weeks after the employee’s last employment-based exposure, and that therefore the exclusivity provision of the Act does not preclude such employee from suing his or her employer in court. The Supreme Court’s ruling reverses previous rulings by the Pennsylvania Superior Court precluding current and former employees from suing their employers in court, despite the fact that the same employee was not eligible for workers compensation benefits for diseases that manifest more than 300 weeks after the employee’s last employment-based exposure to asbestos. Since the Pennsylvania Supreme Court's ruling in November 2013, Exelon, Generation, and PECO have experienced an increase in asbestos-related personal injury claims brought by former PECO employees, all of which have been accrued for on a claim by claim basis. Those additional claims are taken into account in projecting estimated future asbestos-related bodily injury claims.
On November 4, 2015, the Illinois Supreme Court found that the provisions of the Illinois' Workers' Compensation Act and the Workers' Occupational Diseases Act barred an employee from bringing a direct civil action against an employer for latent diseases, including asbestos-related diseases that fall outside the 25-year limit of the statute of repose. The Illinois Supreme Court's ruling reversed previous rulings by the Illinois Court of Appeals, which initially ruled that the Illinois Worker's Compensation law should not apply in cases where the diagnosis of an asbestos related disease occurred after the 25-year maximum time period for filing a Worker's Compensation claim. As a result of this ruling, Exelon, Generation, and ComEd have not recorded an increase to the asbestos-related bodily injury liability as of March 31, 2018.
There is a reasonable possibility that Exelon may have additional exposure to estimated future asbestos-related bodily injury claims in excess of the amount accrued and the increases could have a material unfavorable impact on Exelon's and Generation's and PECO's financial conditions, results of operations and cash flows.statements.
City of Everett Tax Increment Financing Agreement (Exelon and Generation)

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

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, 2017, the tentative decision was adopted by the full EACC. On January 12, 2018, the City filed a complaint in Massachusetts

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

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. Generation vigorously contested the City’s claims before the EACC and will continue to do so in the Massachusetts Superior Court proceeding. Generation continues to believe that the City’s claim lacks merit. Accordingly, Generation has not recorded a liability for payment resulting from such a revocation, nor can Generation estimate a reasonably possible range of loss, if any, associated with any such revocation. Further, it is reasonably possible that property taxes assessed in future periods, including those following the expiration of the current TIF Agreement in 2019, could be material to Generation’s results of operations and cash flows.
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 a reasonable possibility,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.
Income Taxes
See Note 12 — Income Taxes for information regarding the Registrants’ income tax refund claims and certain tax positions, including the 1999 sale of fossil generating assets.

PECO Installment Plan Receivables (Exelon and PECO)
PECO enters into payment agreements with certain delinquent customers, primarily residential, seeking to restore their service, as required by the PAPUC. Customers with past due balances that meet certain income criteria are provided the option to enter into an installment payment plan, some of which have terms greater than one year. The receivable balance for these payment agreement receivables is recorded in accounts receivable for the current portion and other deferred debits and other assets for the noncurrent portion. The net receivable balance for installment plans with terms greater than one year was $8 million and $11 million as of March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively. The allowance for uncollectible accounts balance associated with these receivables at March 31, 2018 of $10 million consists of $3 million and $7 million for medium risk and high risk segments, respectively. The allowance for uncollectible accounts balance at December 31, 2017 of $11 million consists of $3 million and $8 million for medium risk and high risk segments, respectively. For further information regarding uncollectible accounts reserve methodology and assessment of the credit quality of the installment plan receivables, refer to Note 1 — Significant Accounting Policies of the Exelon 2017 Form 10-K. 
19.    Segment Information (All Registrants)
Operating segments for each of the Registrants are determined based on information used by the chief operating decision maker(s) (CODM) in deciding how to evaluate performance and allocate resources at each of the Registrants.
Exelon has twelve reportable segments, which include ComEd, PECO, BGE, PHI's three reportable segments consisting of Pepco, DPL, and ACE, and Generation’s sixreportable segments consisting of the Mid-Atlantic, Midwest, New England, New York, ERCOT and all other power regions referred to

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

The Utility Registrants are required, under separate legislation and regulations in Illinois, Pennsylvania, Maryland, District of Columbia and New Jersey, to purchase certain receivables from alternative retail electric and, as applicable, natural gas suppliers that participate in the utilities' consolidated billing. ComEd, BGE, Pepco and DPL purchase receivables at a discount to recover primarily uncollectible accounts expense from the suppliers. PECO and ACE purchase receivables at face value and recover uncollectible accounts expense, including those from alternative retail electric and natural gas supplies, through base distribution rates and a rate rider, respectively. Exelon and the Utility Registrants do not record unbilled commodity receivables under their POR programs. Purchased billed receivables are recorded on a net basis in Exelon’s and the Utility Registrant's Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income and are classified in Other accounts receivable, net in their Consolidated Balance Sheets. The following tables provide information about the purchased receivables of those companies as of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018.

For ComEd, the incremental uncollectible accounts expense is recovered through a rate rider. BGE, Pepco and DPL recover actual write-offs which are reflected in the POR discount rate.
18. 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”, which includes activities in the South, West and Canada.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 and return on equity.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 sixfive 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 which includes portions of Illinois, Pennsylvania, Indiana, Ohio, Michigan, Kentucky and Tennessee, and the United States footprint of MISO, excluding MISO’s Southern Region, which covers all or most of North Dakota, South Dakota, Nebraska, Minnesota, Iowa, Wisconsin, the remaining parts of Illinois, Indiana, Michigan and Ohio not covered by PJM, and parts of Montana, Missouri and Kentucky.
New England represents the operations within ISO-NE covering the states of Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Rhode Island and Vermont.Region.
New York represents operations within ISO-NY, which covers the state of New York in its entirety.ISO-NY.
ERCOT represents operations within Electric Reliability Council of Texas, covering most of the state of Texas.
Other Power RegionsRegions:
New England: represents the operations within ISO-NE.

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

South represents operations in the FRCC, MISO’s Southern Region, and the remaining portions of the SERC not included within MISO or PJM, which includes all or most of Florida, Arkansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia, Tennessee, North Carolina, South Carolina and parts of Missouri, Kentucky and Texas. Generation’s South region also includes operations in the SPP, covering Kansas, Oklahoma, most of Nebraska and parts of New Mexico, Texas, Louisiana, Missouri, Mississippi and Arkansas.PJM.
West represents operations in the WECC, which includes California ISO, and covers the states of California, Oregon, Washington, Arizona, Nevada, Utah, Idaho, Colorado and parts of New Mexico, Wyoming and South Dakota.ISO.
Canada represents operations across the entire country of Canada and includes AESO, OIESO and the Canadian portion of MISO.
The CODMs for Exelon and Generation evaluate the performance of Generation’s electric business activities and allocate resources based on revenues net of purchased power and fuel expense (RNF).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.
During the first quarter of 2019, due to a change in economics in our New England region, Generation changed the way that information is reviewed by the CODM. The New England region is no longer regularly reviewed as a separate region by the CODM nor is it presented separately in any external information presented to third parties. Information for the New England region is reviewed by the CODM as part of Other Power Regions. Exelon and Generation retrospectively applied this change.
An analysis and reconciliation of the Registrants’ reportable segment information to the respective information in the consolidated financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018 is as follows:

(a)The Registrants evaluate operating performance using the measure of revenues net of purchased power and fuel expense. The Registrants believe that revenues net of purchased power and fuel expense is a useful measurement because it provides information that can be used to evaluate their operational performance. Revenues net of purchased power and fuel expense 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.


Three Months Ended March 31, 2018 Compared to Three Months Ended March 31, 2017.Exelon’s Net income attributable to common shareholders was $585 million for the three months ended March 31, 2018 as compared to $990 million for the three months ended March 31, 2017, and diluted earnings per average common share were $0.60 for the three months ended March 31, 2018 as compared to $1.06for the three months ended March 31, 2017.
Revenue net of purchased power and fuel expense, which is a non-GAAP measure discussed below, increased by $118 million for the three months ended March 31, 2018 as compared to the same period in 2017. The quarter-over-quarter increase in Revenue net of purchased power and fuel expense was primarily due to the following favorable factors:
Increase of $390 million at Generation primarily due to impact of the New York CES and Illinois ZES (including the impact of zero emission credits generated in Illinois from June 1, 2017 through December 31, 2017), increased nuclear volumes primarily as a result of the acquisition of FitzPatrick, decreased nuclear outage days, increased capacity prices and the addition of two combined-cycle gas turbines in Texas, partially offset by the conclusion of the Ginna Reliability Support Services Agreement and lower realized energy prices;
Increase of $44 million at PECO, DPL and ACE primarily due to favorable weather conditions within their respective service territories; and
Increase of $33 million due to higher mutual assistance revenues across all Utility Registrants, primarily at ComEd.
The quarter-over-quarter increase in Revenue net of purchase power and fuel expense was partially offset by the following unfavorable factors:
Decrease of $217 million at Generation due to mark-to-market losses of $266 million in 2018 compared to $49 million in 2017; and
Decrease of $57 million at ComEd primarily due to lower revenues resulting from the change to defer and recover over time energy efficiency costs pursuant to FEJA;
Decrease of $85 million in electric and gas revenues across all Utility Registrants, primarily reflecting lower revenues resulting from the anticipated pass back of TCJA tax savings through customer rates, partially offset by higher utility earnings due to regulatory rate increases at ComEd, BGE and PHI.
Operating and maintenance expense decreased by $54 million for the three months ended March 31, 2018 as compared to the same period in 2017 primarily due to the following favorable factors:
Decrease of $57 million at ComEd primarily due to the change to defer and recover over time energy efficiency costs pursuant to FEJA;
Decrease of $38 million at Generation due to lower merger and integration costs primarily related to the FitzPatrick acquisition;
Decrease of $33 million at Generation due to lower nuclear refueling outage costs; and
Decrease of $32 million related to a supplemental NEIL insurance distribution at Generation in the first quarter of 2018.
The quarter-over-quarter decrease in Operating and maintenance expense was partially offset by the following unfavorable factors:


Increase of $86 million at PECO and BGE due to increased storm costs;
Increase of $33 million due to higher mutual assistance expenses across all Utility Registrants, primarily at ComEd; and
Increase of $22 million at PHI due to uncollectible accounts expense.
Depreciation and amortization expense increased by $195 million primarily due to Generation’s first quarter 2018 decision to early retire the Oyster Creek nuclear facility and Generation’s second quarter 2017 decision to early retire the Three Mile Island nuclear facility, as well increased depreciation expense as a result of ongoing capital expenditures across all operating companies for the three months ended March 31, 2018 as compared to the same period in 2017.
Taxes other than income remained relatively consistent for the three months ended March 31, 2018 as compared to the same period in 2017.
Gain on sales of assets and businesses increased by $52 million for the three months ended March 31, 2018 as compared to the same period in 2017 primarily due to Generation's first quarter 2018 sale of its electrical contracting business.
Bargain purchase gain decreased by $226 million due to the gain associated with the FitzPatrick acquisition in first quarter 2017.
Interest expense, net remained relatively consistent for the three months ended March 31, 2018 as compared to the same period in 2017.
Other, net decreased by $285 million primarily due to net unrealized and realized losses on NDT funds at Generation for the three months ended March 31, 2018 as compared to net unrealized and realized gains on NDT funds for the same period in 2017.
Exelon’s effective income tax rates for the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017 were 8.4% and 17.7%, respectively. The decrease in the effective income tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2018 as compared to the same period in 2017 is primarily related to tax savings due to the lower federal income tax rate as a result of the TCJA at all Registrants, which is offset in Operating revenues at the Utility Registrants for the anticipated pass back of the tax savings through customer rates.

Three Months Ended March 31, 2019 Compared to Three Months Ended March 31, 2018.Net income attributable to common shareholders increased by $322 million and diluted earnings per average common share increased to $0.93 in 2019 from $0.60 in 2018 primarily due to:
Net unrealized gains on NDT funds in 2019 compared to losses in 2018;
Decreased mark-to-market losses;
A benefit associated with the remeasurement of the TMI ARO;
Increased capacity prices;
Regulatory rate increases at PECO, BGE, Pepco and DPL; and
Lower storms costs at PECO and BGE.
The increases were partially offset by:
Lower realized energy prices and
The absence of the revenue recognized in the first quarter 2018 related to ZECs generated in Illinois from June through December 2017.
Adjusted (non-GAAP) Operating EarningsEarnings.
Exelon’s adjusted (non-GAAP) operating earnings for the three months ended March 31, 2018 were $925 million, or $0.96 per diluted share, compared with adjusted (non-GAAP) operating earnings of $600 million, or $0.64 per diluted share for the same period in 2017. In addition to net income, Exelon evaluates its operating performance using the measure of adjustedAdjusted (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 period-over-periodyear-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.

Regulatory Implications of the Tax CutsUtility Rates and Jobs Act (TCJA)Base Rate Proceedings
The Utility Registrants have made filingsfile base rate cases with their respective State regulatorsregulatory commissions seeking increases or decreases to begin passing backtheir electric transmission and distribution, and gas distribution rates to customersrecover their costs and earn a fair return on their investments. The outcomes of these regulatory proceedings impact the ongoing annual tax savings resulting fromUtility Registrants’ current and future financial statements.

The following tables show the TCJA. The amounts being proposed to be passed back to customers reflect the annual benefit of lower income tax ratesUtility Registrants’ completed and the settlement of a portion of deferred income tax regulatory liabilities established upon enactment of the TCJA. The Utility Registrants have identified over $500 millionpending distribution base rate case proceedings in ongoing annual savings to be returned to customers related to TCJA from their distribution utility operations.
ComEd and BGE have received orders approving the pass back of the ongoing annual tax savings of $201 million and $103 million, respectively, beginning February 1, 2018. DPL received an order from the MDPSC approving the pass back of $14 million of ongoing annual tax savings beginning April 20, 2018 and a one-time bill credit to customers of $2 million for TCJA tax savings from January 1, 2018 through March 31, 2018. Pepco has entered into settlement agreements with parties in both Maryland and the District of Columbia providing for the pass back of the ongoing annual tax savings beginning June 1, 2018 and July 1, 2018, respectively, and one-time bill credits to customers for TCJA tax savings from January 1, 2018 through the effective date of the rate changes. PECO’s, DPL Delaware’s and ACE’s filings are still pending and management cannot predict the amount or timing of the refunds their respective regulators will ultimately approve. For PECO, BGE, DPL Delaware and ACE, it is expected that the treatment of the TCJA tax savings through the effective date of any final customer rate adjustments will be addressed in future rate proceedings.
In addition, ComEd, BGE, Pepco, DPL, and ACE each filed with FERC to revise their transmission formula rate mechanisms to facilitate passing back to customers ongoing annual TCJA tax savings and to permit recovery of transmission-related income tax regulatory assets. PECO is currently in settlement discussions regarding its transmission formula rate and expects to pass back TCJA benefits to customers through its annual formula rate update.
PECO, BGE, Pepco, DPL and ACE recognized new regulatory liabilities in the first quarter 2018 reflecting the TCJA tax savings that are anticipated to be passed back to customers in the future.2019.

PECO Transmission Formula Rate
On May 1, 2017, PECO filed a request with FERC seeking approval to update its transmission rates and change the manner in which PECO’s transmission rate is determined from a fixed rate to a formula rate. The formula rate will be updated annually to ensure that under this rate customers pay the actual costs of providing transmission services. The formula rate filing includes a requested increase of $22 million to PECO’s annual transmission revenues and a requested rate of return on common equity of 11%, inclusive of a 50 basis point adder for being a member of a regional transmission organization. PECO requested that the new transmission rate be effective as of July 2017. On June 27, 2017, FERC issued an Order accepting the filing and suspending the proposed rates until December 1, 2017, subject to refund, and set the matter for hearing and settlement judge procedures. On May 4, 2018, the Chief Administrative Law Judge terminated settlement judge procedures and designated a new presiding judge. On February 8, 2019, PECO and the active parties reached an agreement in principle to settle this case. The presiding Administrative Law Judge has since suspended the procedural schedule in order for PECO and the active parties to continue working towards finalizing a settlement. On April 15, 2019, PECO and the active parties filed a status update with the presiding Administrative Law Judge requesting an additional 45 days to file a settlement. PECO cannot predict the outcome of this proceeding, or the transmission formula FERC may approve.
On May 11, 2018, pursuant to the transmission formula rate request discussed above, PECO made its first annual formula rate update, which included a revenue decrease of $6 million. The revenue decrease of $6 million included an approximately $20 million reduction as a result of the tax savings associated with the TCJA. The updated transmission rate was effective June 1, 2018, subject to refund.

Pacific Gas & Electric Bankruptcy
Generation’s Antelope Valley, a 242 MW solar facility in Lancaster, CA, 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. As of March 31, 2019, Generation had approximately $750 million and $500 million of net long-lived assets and nonrecourse debt outstanding, respectively, related to Antelope Valley. PG&E’s bankruptcy created an event of default for Antelope Valley’s nonrecourse debt that provides 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 ongoing event of default and 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 as of March 31, 2019.
Generation assessed and determined that Antelope Valley’s long-lived assets were not impaired as of March 31, 2019. Significant changes in assumptions such as the likelihood of the PPA being rejected as part of the bankruptcy proceedings could potentially result in future impairments of Antelope Valley's net long-lived assets, which could be material. Generation is monitoring the bankruptcy proceedings for any changes in circumstances that would indicate the carrying amount of the net long-lived assets of Antelope Valley may not be recoverable.
See Note 7 — Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and Note 11 — Debt and Credit Agreements of the Combined Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information on the PG&E bankruptcy.

On May 30, 2017, Generation announced it will permanently cease generation operations at Three Mile Island Generating Station (TMI) on or about September 30, 2019. The plant is currently committed to operate through May 2019.
As a result of the early nuclear plant retirement decisions at Oyster Creek and TMI, Exelon and Generation will also recognize annual incremental non-cash charges to earnings stemming from shortening the expected economic useful lives primarily related to accelerated depreciation of plant assets (including any ARC), accelerated amortization of nuclear fuel, and additional ARO accretion expense associated with the changes in decommissioning timing and cost assumptions were also recorded. The following table summarizestables show the actual incremental non-cash expense item incurredUtility Registrants’ completed and pending distribution base rate case proceedings in 2018 and the estimated amount of incremental non-cash expense items expected to be incurred in 2018 and 2019 due to the early retirement decisions.

On March 29, 2018, based on ISO-NE capacity auction results for the 2021 - 2022 planning year in which Mystic Unit 9 did not clear, Generation announced it had formally notified grid operator ISO-NE of its plans to early retire its Mystic Generating Station assets on June 1, 2022 absent any interim and long-term solutions for reliability and regional fuel security. The ISO-NE recently announced that it would take a three-step approach to fuel security. First, ISO-NE will make a filing soon to obtain tariff waivers to allow it to retain Mystic 8 and 9 for fuel security for the 2022 - 2024 planning years.  Second, ISO-NE will file tariff revisions to allow it to retain other resources for fuel security in the capacity market if necessary in the future.  Third, ISO-NE will work with stakeholders to develop long-term market rule changes to address system resiliency considering significant reliability risks identified in ISO-NE’s January 2018 fuel security report. Changes to market rules are necessary because critical units to the region, such as Mystic Units 8 and 9, cannot recover future operating costs including the cost of procuring fuel. As a result of these developments, Generation completed a comprehensive review of the estimated undiscounted future cash flows of the New England asset group during the first quarter of 2018 and no impairment charge was required. Further developments such as the failure of ISO-NE to adopt interim and long-term solutions for reliability and fuel security could potentially result in future impairments of the New England asset group, which could be material.

PECO Transmission Formula Rate
On May 1, 2017, PECO filed a request with FERC seeking approval to FEJA,update its transmission rates and change the manner in which PECO’s transmission rate is determined from a fixed rate to a formula rate. The formula rate will be updated annually to ensure that under this rate customers pay the actual costs of providing transmission services. The formula rate filing includes a requested increase of $22 million to PECO’s annual transmission revenues and a requested rate of return on January 25,common equity of 11%, inclusive of a 50 basis point adder for being a member of a regional transmission organization. PECO requested that the new transmission rate be effective as of July 2017. On June 27, 2017, FERC issued an Order accepting the filing and suspending the proposed rates until December 1, 2017, subject to refund, and set the matter for hearing and settlement judge procedures. On May 4, 2018, the ICC announced that Generation’s Clinton Unit 1, Quad Cities Unit 1Chief Administrative Law Judge terminated settlement judge procedures and Quad Cities Unit 2 nuclear plants were selected asdesignated a new presiding judge. On February 8, 2019, PECO and the winning bidders throughactive parties reached an agreement in principle to settle this case. The presiding Administrative Law Judge has since suspended the IPA's ZEC procurement event.

The program provides transparency and includes robust customer protections.  The New Jersey Governor has up topresiding Administrative Law Judge requesting an additional 45 days to signfile a settlement. PECO cannot predict the bill,outcome of this proceeding, or the transmission formula FERC may approve.
On May 11, 2018, pursuant to the transmission formula rate request discussed above, PECO made its first annual formula rate update, which included a revenue decrease of $6 million. The revenue decrease of $6 million included an approximately $20 million reduction as a result of the tax savings associated with the bill becomingTCJA. The updated transmission rate was effective immediately upon signing. The NJBPU then has 180 days from the effective date to establish procedures for implementation of the ZEC program and 330 days from the effective date to determine which nuclear power plants are selected to receive ZECs under the program. Selected nuclear plants will receive ZEC payments for each energy year (12-month period from June 1, through May 31) within 90 days after the completion of such energy year.

PECO Transmission Formula Rate
On May 1, 2017, PECO filed a request with FERC seeking approval to update its transmission rates and change the manner in which PECO’s transmission rate is determined from a fixed rate to a formula rate. The formula rate will be updated annually to ensure that under this rate customers pay the actual costs of providing transmission services. The formula rate filing includes a requested increase of $22 million to PECO’s annual transmission revenues and a requested rate of return on common equity of 11%, inclusive of a 50 basis point adder for being a member of a regional transmission organization. PECO requested that the new transmission rate be effective as of July 2017. On June 27, 2017, FERC issued an Order accepting the filing and suspending the proposed rates until December 1, 2017, subject to refund, and set the matter for hearing and settlement judge procedures. On May 4, 2018, the Chief Administrative Law Judge terminated settlement judge procedures and designated a new presiding judge. On February 8, 2019, PECO and the active parties reached an agreement in principle to settle this case. The presiding Administrative Law Judge has since suspended the procedural schedule in order for PECO and the active parties to continue working towards finalizing a settlement. On April 15, 2019, PECO and the active parties filed a status update with the presiding Administrative Law Judge requesting an additional 45 days to file a settlement. PECO cannot predict the outcome of this proceeding, or the transmission formula FERC may approve.
On May 11, 2018, pursuant to the transmission formula rate request discussed above, PECO made its first annual formula rate update, which included a revenue decrease of $6 million. The revenue decrease of $6 million included an approximately $20 million reduction as a result of the tax savings associated with the TCJA. The updated transmission rate was effective June 1, 2018, subject to refund.

Pacific Gas & Electric Bankruptcy
Generation’s Antelope Valley, a 242 MW solar facility in Lancaster, CA, 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. As of March 31, 2019, Generation had approximately $750 million and $500 million of net long-lived assets and nonrecourse debt outstanding, respectively, related to Antelope Valley. PG&E’s bankruptcy created an event of default for Antelope Valley’s nonrecourse debt that provides 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 ongoing event of default and 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 as of March 31, 2019.
Generation assessed and determined that Antelope Valley’s long-lived assets were not impaired as of March 31, 2019. Significant changes in assumptions such as the likelihood of the PPA being rejected as part of the bankruptcy proceedings could potentially result in future impairments of Antelope Valley's net long-lived assets, which could be material. Generation is monitoring the bankruptcy proceedings for any changes in circumstances that would indicate the carrying amount of the net long-lived assets of Antelope Valley may not be recoverable.

Winter Storm-Related CostsEarly Plant Retirements
DuringOyster Creek. Generation permanently ceased generation operations at Oyster Creek in September 2018. On July 31, 2018 Generation entered into an agreement with Holtec International and its wholly owned subsidiary, Oyster Creek Environmental Protection, LLC, for the sale and decommissioning of Oyster Creek. Generation currently anticipates satisfaction of the closing conditions for the transaction to occur in the second half of 2019. See Note 3 — Mergers, Acquisitions and Dispositions of the Combined Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.
Three Mile Island. On May 30, 2017, Generation announced it will permanently cease generation operations at TMI on or about September 30, 2019. The plant is currently committed to operate through May 2019. As a result of the previous decision to early retire TMI, Exelon and Generation recorded a $4 million incremental pre-tax net benefit for the three months ended March 31, 2019 primarily due to a benefit associated with the remeasurement of the TMI ARO, partially offset by accelerated depreciation of the plant assets. For the full year ended December 31, 2019, Exelon and Generation estimate approximately $155 million of incremental pre-tax net non-cash charges associated with the early retirement of TMI, primarily due to accelerated depreciation of the plant assets.
Salem. In 2017, PSEG announced that its New Jersey nuclear plants, including Salem, of which Generation owns a 42.59% ownership interest, were showing increased signs of economic distress, which could lead to an early retirement. PSEG is the operator of Salem and also has the decision making authority to retire Salem. In 2018, there were powerful nor'easter stormsNew Jersey enacted legislation that broughtestablished a mix of heavy snow, ice and high sustained winds and gustsZEC program that provides compensation for nuclear plants that demonstrate to the regionNJBPU that interrupted electric service deliverythey meet certain requirements, including that they make a significant contribution to customersair quality in PECO's, BGE's, Pepco's, DPL'sthe state and ACE's service territories.

On April 18, 2019, the NJBPU approved the award of ZECs to Salem 1 and supplies,Salem 2. Assuming the New Jersey ZEC program operates as expected, Generation no longer considers Salem to be at heightened risk for early retirement.
Dresden, Byron and Braidwood. Generation’s Dresden, Byron and Braidwood nuclear plants in Illinois are also showing increased signs of economic distress, which could lead to an early retirement, 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 incremental operating and maintenance expense and incremental capital expendituresthe largest volume of nuclear capacity ever not selected in the first quarterauction, including all of 2018Dresden, and portions of Byron and Braidwood.

Exelon’s Strategy and Outlook for 20182019 and Beyond
Exelon’s value proposition and competitive advantage come from its scope and its core strengths of operational excellence and financial discipline. Exelon leverages its integrated business model to create value. Exelon’s regulated and competitive businesses feature a mix of attributes that, when combined, offer shareholders and customers a unique value proposition:
The Utility Registrants provide a foundation for steadily growing earnings, which translates to a stable currency in our stock.
Generation’s competitive businesses provide free cash flow to invest primarily in the utilities and in long-term, contracted assets and to reduce debt.
Exelon believes its strategy provides a platform for optimal success in an energy industry experiencing fundamental and sweeping change.
Exelon’s utility strategy is to improve reliability and operations and enhance the customer experience, while ensuring ratemaking mechanisms provide the utilities fair financial returns. The Utility Registrants only invest in rate base where it provides a benefit to customers and the community by improving reliability and the service experience or otherwise meeting customer needs. The Utility Registrants make these investments at the lowest reasonable cost to customers. Exelon seeks to leverage its scale and expertise across the utilities platform through enhanced standardization and sharing of resources and best practices to achieve improved operational and financial results. Additionally, the Utility Registrants anticipate making significant future investments in smart grid and smart meter technology, transmission projects, gas infrastructure, and electric system improvement projects, providing greater reliability and improved service for our customers and a stable return for the company.
Generation’s competitive businesses create value for customers by providing innovative energy solutions and reliable, clean and affordable energy. Generation’s electricity generation strategy is to pursue opportunities that provide stable revenues and generation to load matching to reduce earnings volatility. Generation leverages its energy generation portfolio to deliver energy to both wholesale and retail customers. Generation’s customer-facing activities foster development and delivery of other innovative energy-related products and services for its customers. Generation operates in well-developed energy markets and employs an integrated hedging strategy to manage commodity price volatility. Its generation fleet, including its nuclear plants which consistently operate at high capacity factors, also


provide geographic and supply source diversity. These factors help Generation mitigate the current challenging conditions in competitive energy markets.
Exelon’s financial priorities are to maintain investment grade credit metrics at each of the Registrants, to maintain optimal capital structure and to return value to Exelon’s shareholders with an attractive dividend throughout the energy commodity market cycle and through stable earnings growth. Exelon's Board of Directors has approved a dividend policy providing a raise of 5% each year for the period covering 2018 through 2020, beginning with the March 2018 dividend.
Various market, financial, regulatory, legislative and operational factors could affect the Registrants' success in pursuing their strategies. Exelon continues to assess infrastructure, operational, commercial, policy, and legal solutions to these issues. One key issue is ensuring the ability to properly value nuclear generation assets in the market, solutions to which Exelon is actively pursuing in a variety of jurisdictions and venues. See ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS of the Exelon 20172018 Form 10-K for additional information regarding market and financial factors.
Continually optimizing the cost structure is a key component of Exelon’s financial strategy.  In August 2015, Exelon announced a cost management program focused on cost savings of approximately $400 million at BSC and Generation, of which approximately 60% of run-rate savings was achieved by the end of 2017 with the remainder to be fully realized in 2018.  At leastApproximately 75% of the savings are expected to bewere related to Generation, with the remaining amount related to the Utility Registrants. Additionally, inIn November 2017, Exelon announced a new commitment for an additional $250 million of cost savings, primarily at Generation, to be achieved by 2020. In November 2018, Exelon announced the elimination of an approximately additional $200 million of annual ongoing costs, through initiatives primarily at Generation and BSC, by 2021. Approximately $150 million is expected to be related to Generation, with the remaining amount related to the Utility Registrants. These actions are in response to the continuing economic challenges confronting all parts of Exelon’s business and industry, necessitating continued focus on cost management through enhanced efficiency and productivity.

Growth Opportunities
Management continually evaluates growth opportunities aligned with Exelon’s businesses, assets and markets, leveraging Exelon’s expertise in those areas and offering sustainable returns.
Regulated Energy Businesses.The PHI merger provides an opportunity to accelerate Exelon’s regulated growth to provide stable cash flows, earnings accretion, and dividend support.  Additionally, the Utility Registrants anticipate investing approximately $26$29 billion over the next five years in electric and natural gas infrastructure improvements and modernization projects, including smart meter and smart grid initiatives, storm hardening, advanced reliability technologies, and transmission projects, which is projected to result in an increase to current rate base of approximately $11$13 billion by the end of 2022.2023. The Utility Registrants invest in rate base where beneficial to customers and the community by increasing reliability and the service experience or otherwise meeting customer needs. These investments are made at the lowest reasonable cost to customers.
See Note 34 — Regulatory Matters of the Combined Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements Exelon 20172018 Form 10-K for additional information on the Smart Meter and Smart Grid Initiatives and infrastructure development and enhancement programs.
Competitive Energy Businesses.Generation continually assesses the optimal structure and composition of its generation assets as well as explores wholesale and retail opportunities within the power and gas sectors. Generation’s long-term growth strategy is to ensure appropriate valuation of its generation assets, in part through public policy efforts, identify and capitalize on opportunities that provide generation to load matching as a means to provide stable earnings, and identify emerging technologies where strategic investments provide the option for significant future growth or influence in market development.


Liquidity Considerations
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.). The Registrants expect cash flows to be sufficient to meet operating expenses, financing costs and capital expenditure requirements.
Exelon Corporate, Generation, ComEd, PECO, BGE, Pepco, DPL and ACE have unsecured syndicated revolving credit facilities with aggregate bank commitments of $0.6 billion, $5.3 billion, $1 billion, $0.6 billion, $0.6 billion, $0.3 billion, $0.3 billion and $0.3 billion, respectively.facilities. Generation also has bilateral credit facilities with aggregate maximum availabilityfacilities. Refer to Note 13 — Debt and Credit Agreements of $0.5 billion. See Liquidity and Capital Resources - Credit Matters -the Exelon Credit Facilities below.2018 Form 10-K for additional information on credit facilities.
For further detailadditional information regarding the Registrants' liquidity for the three months ended March 31, 2018,2019, see Liquidity and Capital Resources discussion below.
Project Financing
Generation utilizes individual project financings as a meansProject financing is used to finance the constructionhelp mitigate risk of variousspecific generating asset projects.assets. Project financing is based upon a nonrecourse financial structure, in which project debt and equity used to finance the project areis paid back from the cash generated by the newly constructedspecific asset once operational.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.

Other Key Business Drivers and Management Strategies
Power Markets
Price of Fuels
The use of new technologies to recover natural gas from shale deposits is increasing natural gas supply and reserves, which places downward pressure on natural gas prices and, therefore, on wholesale and retail power prices, which results in a reduction in Exelon’s revenues. Forward natural gas prices have declined significantly over the last several years; in part reflecting an increase in supply due to strong natural gas production (due to shale gas development).
DOE Notice of Proposed RulemakingComplaints and PJM Filing at FERC Seeking to Mitigate ZEC Programs
PJM and NYISO capacity markets include a Minimum Offer Price Rule (MOPR) that is intended to preclude buyers from exercising buyer market power. If a resource is subjected to a MOPR, its offer is adjusted to effectively remove the revenues it receives through a government-provided financial support program - resulting in a higher offer that may not clear the capacity market. Currently, the MOPRs in PJM and NYISO apply only to certain new gas-fired resources.
On January 9, 2017, EPSA filed two requests with FERC: one seeking to amend a prior complaint against PJM and another seeking expedited action on a pending NYISO compliance filing in an existing proceeding. A similar complaint also against PJM was filed at FERC on May 31, 2018. These complaints generally allege that the relevant MOPR should be expanded to also apply to existing resources including those receiving ZEC compensation under the New Jersey ZEC, New York CES and Illinois ZES programs. Exelon filed protests at FERC in response to each filing, arguing generally that ZEC payments provide compensation for an environmental attribute that is distinct from the energy and capacity sold in the FERC-jurisdictional markets, and therefore, are no different than other renewable support programs like the PTC and RPS programs that have generally not been subject to a MOPR. However, if successful, for Generation’s facilities in PJM and NYISO that are currently receiving ZEC compensation (Quad Cities, Ginna, Fitzpatrick, Nine Mile Point and Salem, of which Generation owns a 42.59% interest), an expanded MOPR could require exclusion of ZEC compensation when bidding into future capacity auctions such that these facilities would have an increased risk of not clearing in future capacity auctions and thus no longer receiving capacity revenues during the respective ZEC programs. Any mitigation of these generating resources could have a material effect on Exelon’s and Generation’s future cash flows and results of operations.
In June 2018, FERC addressed one of the MOPR complaints involving PJM and concluded based on that complaint and a related PJM filing that PJM’s existing tariff allows resources receiving out-of-market support to affect capacity prices in a manner that will cause unjust and unreasonable and unduly discriminatory rates in PJM regardless of the intent motivating the support. FERC suggested that modifying two elements of PJM’s existing tariff could produce a just and reasonable replacement and asked for initial comments on its proposal by August 23, 2017,28, 2018, later extended to October 2, 2018. First, FERC found that an expansion of the DOE staff releasedcurrent MOPR mechanism to cover all existing generating resources, regardless of resource type, including those receiving either ZEC or REC compensation, could protect the capacity markets from unwanted price suppression. Second, FERC preliminarily found that a modified version of PJM’s existing Fixed Resource Requirement (FRR) option could enable state subsidized resources and a corresponding amount of load to be removed from the capacity market, thereby alleviating their price suppressive effects on capacity clearing prices. Under this alternative, state supported generating resources would potentially be compensated through mechanisms other than through PJM’s existing market mechanism. FERC established March 21, 2016 as the refund effective date and also allowed PJM to delay its reportnext capacity auction from May 2019 to August 2019 to allow parties time to develop and file proposals in the FERC proceeding, FERC time to determine the appropriate solution and PJM time to implement FERC's solution. On October 2, 2018, Exelon, along with several ratepayer advocates, environmental organizations and other nuclear generators, submitted shared principles supporting a workable new FRR mechanism (as suggested by FERC) and detailing how such a mechanism should be implemented. Exelon also submitted individual comments covering matters not addressed in the shared principles. FERC has not yet issued a decision on the reliabilitysecond MOPR complaint involving PJM or the MOPR complaint involving NYISO. On April 10, 2019, PJM notified FERC of its intent to proceed with the electric grid. One aspect ofnext capacity auction in August 2019 under the wide-ranging report isexisting market rules and asked FERC to clarify that it would not require PJM to re-run the DOE’s recognition that the electricity markets do not currently value the resiliency provided by baseload generation, such as nuclear plants. On September 28, 2017,


the DOE issued a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NOPR) that would entitle certain eligible resilient generating units (i.e., those located in organized markets, with a 90-day supply of fuel on site, not already subject to state cost of service regulation and satisfying certain other requirements) to recover fully allocated costs and earn a fair return on equity on their investment. The DOE's NOPR recommended that the FERC take comments for 45 days after publicationauction in the Federal Register and issue a final order 60-days after such publication.  On January 8, 2018,event FERC alters those market rules in its decision on the FERC issued an order terminating the rulemaking docket that was initiatedMOPR complaint. It is too early to address the proposed rule in the DOE NOPR, concluding the proposed rule did not sufficiently demonstrate there is a resiliency issue and that it proposed a remedy that did not appear to be just, reasonable and nondiscriminatory as required under the Federal Power Act. At the same time, the FERC initiated a new proceeding to consider resiliency challenges to the bulk power system and evaluate whether additional FERC action to address resiliency would be appropriate. The FERC directed each RTO and ISO to respond within 60 days to 24 specific questions about how they assess and mitigate threats to resiliency. Interested parties may submit reply comments through May 9, 2018. Exelon has been and will continue to be an active participant in these proceedings, but cannot predict the final outcome of each of these proceedings or itstheir potential financial impact, if any, on Exelon or Generation.
PJM Minimum
Complaint at FERC Seeking to Alter Capacity Market Default Offer Price Rule Expanded and Repricing FilingCaps
On April 9, 2018, PJMFebruary 21, 2019, PJM’s Independent Market Monitor (IMM) filed a request at FERC seekingcomplaint alleging that the number of performance assessment intervals used to calculate the default offer cap for bids to supply capacity in PJM is too high, resulting in an overstated default offer cap that obviates the need for most sellers to seek unit-specific approval of its proposed capacity repricing mechanism or, in the alternative, the Minimum Offer Price Rule Expanded (MOPREx) proposal. PJM arguestheir offers. The IMM claims that both proposed approaches are just and reasonable means of resolving the conflict between state policy support for certain resources and the need to provide reasonable prices for non-supported resources because both prevent state-supported resources from suppressing market clearing prices.  PJM expresses a preferencethis allows for the repricing approach as it “honors the state’s legitimate policy choice to promote resources with certain attributes not otherwise valued in the current wholesaleexercise of market rules; MOPREx does not. Thus, PJMpower. The IMM asks FERC to sequentially considerrequire PJM to reduce the two proposals; first consideringnumber of performance assessment intervals used to calculate the repricing approachopportunity costs of a capacity supplier assuming a capacity obligation. This would, in turn, lower the default offer cap and then consideringallow the MOPREx approach only if FERC cannot accept repricing.  The MOPREx alternative, if selected by FERC, could impact Exelon and Generation as this mechanism could undermine the benefit of Illinois’ ZEC program and similar programs that could be developed in other states.  Specifically, under PJM’s MOPREx alternative, the MOPR mitigation mechanism would applyIMM to all resources (not just new resources, as is currently done) including ZEC-supported resources, thereby mitigating the effect of state support inreview more offers and rendering it unlikely that ZEC-supported resources will clear the capacity auction.  While numerous exceptions would be available under MOPREx, none would be available to ZEC programs.  PJM asks foron a FERC order by June 29, 2018 and an effective date of June 30, 2018.unit-specific basis. It is too early to predict the final outcome of this proceeding or its potential financial impact, if any, on Exelon or Generation.
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, (as amended)as amended, (the Act) from imports of uranium products, alleging that these imports threaten national security (the Petition). The Trade Expansion Act of 1962 (the Act) was promulgated by Congress to protect essential national security industries whose survival is threatened by imports. As such, the Act authorizes the Secretary of Commerce (the Secretary) to conduct investigations to evaluate the effects of imports of any item on the national security of the U.S. The Petition alleges that the loss of a viable U.S. uranium mining industry would have a significant detrimental impact on the national, energy, and economic security of the U.S. and the ability of the country to sustain an independent nuclear fuel cycle.
On July 18, 2018, the Secretary announced that the DOC had initiated an investigation in response to the petition. The Secretary submitted a report to President Trump on April 14, 2019. The President now has 90 days to decide whether and how to act on the Secretary's recommendations. The relief sought by the petitioners would require U.S. nuclear reactors to purchase at least 25% of their uranium needs from domestic mines overfor the next 10 years. Ifyears or more, although the President could choose this remedy or any other remedy, whether recommended by the DOC initiates an investigation, the Secretary has 270 daysor not, or could choose to prepare and submit a report to President Trump, who then has 90 days to act on the Secretary's recommendations.take no action. Exelon and Generation cannot currently predict the outcome of this petition.investigation. It is reasonably possible that if this


petition wereis successful the resulting increase in nuclear fuel costs in future periods could have a material, unfavorable impact on Exelon’s and Generation’s results of operations, cash flows and financial positions.statements.
Energy Demand
Modest economic growth partially offset by energy efficiency initiatives is resulting in relatively flat to declining load growth in electricity for the Utility Registrants. There is an increase in projected load for electricity for PECO, BGE, Pepco and ACE, and a decrease in projected load for electricity at ComEd and DPL. ComEd, PECO, BGE, Pepco, DPL and ACE are projecting load volumes to increase (decrease) by (0.1)(0.2)%, 0.3%(0.3)%, 1.1%1.3%, 2.1%, (1.9)(0.7)% and 2.9%(1.9)% respectively, in 20182019 compared to 2017.2018. Pepco is projecting load volumes to be flat in 2019 compared to 2018.
Retail Competition
Generation’s retail operations compete for customers in a competitive environment, which affect the margins that Generation can earn and the volumes that it is able to serve. The market experienced high price volatility in the first quarter of 2014 which contributed to bankruptcies and consolidations within the industry during the year. However, forwardForward natural gas and power prices are expected to remain low and thus we expect retail competitors to stay aggressive in their pursuit of market share, and that wholesale generators (including Generation) will continue to use their retail operations to hedge generation output.
Strategic Policy Alignment
As part of its strategic business planning process, Exelon routinely reviews its hedging policy, dividend policy, operating and capital costs, capital spending plans, strength of its balance sheet and credit metrics, and sufficiency of its liquidity position, by performing various stress tests with differing variables, such as commodity price movements, increases in margin-related transactions, changes in hedging practices and the impacts of hypothetical credit downgrades.
Exelon's board of directors declared first quarter 20182019 dividends of $0.345$0.3625 per share on Exelon's common stock. The first quarter 20182019 dividend was paid on March 9, 2018. The8, 2019.
Exelon's board of directors declared second quarter 2019 dividends of $0.3625 per share on Exelon's common stock and is payable on June 10, 2019.

Exelon's Board of Directors approved an updated dividend increased from the fourth quarter 2017 amount to reflect the Board's decision to raise Exelon's dividendpolicy providing an increase of 5% each year for the period covering 2018 through 2020, beginning with the March 2018 dividend.
Exelon's board of directors declared second quarter 2018 dividends of $0.345 per share on Exelon's common stock and is payable on June 8, 2018.
All future quarterly dividends require approval by Exelon's Board of Directors.
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. Generation has hedges in place that significantly mitigate this risk for 20182019 and 2019.2020. However, Generation is exposed to relatively greater commodity price risk in the subsequent years with respect to which a larger portion of its electricity portfolio is currently unhedged. As of March 31, 2018,2019, the percentage of expected generation hedged is 91%-94%90%-93%, 63%-66%64%-67% and 33%-36%38%-41% for 2018, 2019, 2020, and 20202021 respectively. The percentage of expected generation hedged is the amount of equivalent sales divided by the expected generation. Expected generation is the volume of energy that best represents our commodity position in energy markets from owned or contracted generating facilities based upon a simulated dispatch model that makes assumptions regarding future market conditions, which are calibrated to market quotes for power, fuel, load following products, and options. Equivalent


sales represent all hedging products, such as wholesale and retail sales of power, options and swaps. Generation has been and will continue to be proactive in using hedging strategies to mitigate commodity price risk in subsequent years as well.
Generation procures oil and natural gas through long-term and short-term contracts and spot-market purchases. Nuclear fuel is 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, coal, oil and natural gas are subject to price fluctuations and availability restrictions. Supply market conditions may make Generation’s procurement contracts subject to credit risk related to the potential non-performance of counterparties to deliver the contracted commodity or service at the contracted prices. Approximately 58%62% of Generation’s uranium concentrate requirements from 20182019 through 20222023 are supplied by three producers. In the event of non-performance by these or other suppliers, Generation believes that replacement uranium concentrate 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 results of operations, cash flows and financial positions.statements.
The Utility Registrants mitigate commodity price risk through regulatory mechanisms that allow them to recover procurement costs from retail customers.

Exelon was actively involved in the Obama Administration’s development and implementation of environmental regulations for the electric industry, in pursuit of its business strategy to provide reliable, clean, affordable and innovative energy products. These efforts have most frequently involved air, water and waste controls for fossil-fueled electric generating units, as set forth in the discussion below. These regulations have had a disproportionate adverse impact on coal-fired power plants, requiring significant expenditures of capital and variable operating and maintenance expense, and have resulted in the retirement of older, marginal facilities. Due to its low emission generation portfolio, Generation has not been significantly affected by these regulations, representing a competitive advantage relative to electric generators that are more reliant on fossil fuel plants.
Through the issuance of a series of Executive Orders (EO), President Trump has initiated review of a number of EPA and other regulations issued during the Obama Administration, with the expectation that the Administration will seek repeal or significant revision of these rules. Under these EOs, each executive agency is required to evaluate existing regulations and make recommendations regarding repeal, replacement, or modification. The Administration’s actions are intended to result in less stringent compliance requirements under air, water, and waste regulations. The exact nature, extent, and timing of the regulatory changes are unknown, as well as the ultimate impact on Exelon’s and its subsidiaries results of operations and cash flows.
In particular, the Administration has targeted certain existing EPA regulations for repeal, including notably the Clean Power Plan, as well as revoking many Executive Orders, reports, and guidance issued by the Obama Administration

on the topic of climate change or the regulation of greenhouse gases. The Executive Order also disbanded the Interagency Working Group that developed the social cost of carbon used in rulemakings and withdrew all technical support documents supporting the calculation. Other regulations that have been specifically identified forare under review areinclude the Clean Water Act rule relating to jurisdictional waters of the U.S., the Steam Electric Effluent Guidelines relating to waste water discharges from coal-fired power plants, and the 2015 National Ambient Air Quality Standard (NAAQS) for ozone. The review of final rules could extend over several years as formal notice and comment rulemaking process proceeds.


Air Quality
Mercury and Air Toxics Standard Rule (MATS). On December 16, 2011, the EPA signed a final rule to reduce emissions of toxic air pollutants from power plants and signed revisions to the NSPS for electric generating units. The final rule, known as MATS, requires coal-fired electric generation 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. The initial compliance deadline to meet the new standards was April 16, 2015; however, facilities may have been granted an additional one or two-year extension in limited cases. Numerous entities challenged MATS in the D.C. Circuit Court, and Exelon intervened in support of the rule. In April 2014, the D.C. Circuit Court issued an opinion 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 hazardous air pollutants emitted by electric utilities. The U.S. Supreme Court, however, did not vacate the rule; rather, it was remanded to the D.C. Circuit Court to take further action consistent with the U.S. Supreme Court’s opinion on this single issue. On April 27, 2017, the D.C. Circuit granted EPA’s motion to hold the litigation in abeyance, pending EPA’s review of the MATS rule pursuant to President Trump’s EO discussed above. Following EPA’s review and determination of its course of action for the MATS rule, the parties will have 30 days to file motions on future proceedings. Notwithstanding the Court’s order to hold the litigation in abeyance, the MATS rule remains in effect. Exelon will continue to participate in the remanded proceedings before the D.C. Circuit Court as an intervenor in support of the rule. On December 28, 2018, the EPA proposed to revoke the "appropriate and necessary" finding underpinning the MATS rule. While the proposal would leave the rule in place, it would leave it vulnerable to future legal challenge.
Clean Power Plan.Plan. On April 28, 2017, the D.C. Circuit Court issued orders in separate litigation related to the EPA’s actions under the Clean Power Plan (CPP) to amend Clean Air Act Section 111(d) regulation of existing fossil-fired electric generating units and Section 111(b) regulation of new fossil-fired electric generating units. In both cases, the Court has determined to hold the litigation in abeyance pending a determination whether the rule should be remanded to the EPA. On October 10, 2017, EPA issued a proposed rule to repeal the CPP in its entirety, based on a proposed change in the Agency’s legal interpretation of Clean Air Act Section 111(d) regarding actions that the Agency can consider when establishing the Best System of Emission Reduction (“BSER”) for existing power plants. Under the proposed interpretation, the Agency exceeded its authority under the Clean Air Act by regulating beyond individual sources of GHG emissions. TheSubsequently, on August 31, 2018, EPA has also indicatedproposed its intent to issue an advance noticeAffordable Clean Energy Rule, which would replace the CPP with revised emission guidelines based on heat rate improvement measures that could be achieved within the fence line of proposed rulemaking to solicit information on systems of emission reduction that are in accord with the Agency’s proposed revised legal interpretation; namely, only by regulating emission reductions that can be implemented at and to individual sources.existing power plants.
2015 Ozone National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS). On April 11, 2017, the D.C. Circuit ordered that the consolidated 2015 ozone NAAQS litigation be held in abeyance pending EPA’s further review of the 2015 Rule. EPA did not meetConcurrent with its review, the October 1, 2017 deadline to promulgate initialAgency issued several rounds of final ozone designations for areasthe 2015 ozone NAAQS in attainmentDecember 2017 and April 2018. On August 1, 2018, EPA filed a status report to the Court that indicated Agency does not intend to revise or non-attainment ofrepeal the standard. A number of states and environmental organizations have notified2015 ozone standard at this time. Subsequently the Court ordered the case reactivated.

Climate Change.Exelon supports comprehensive climate change legislation or regulation, including a cap-and-trade program for GHG emissions, which balances the need to protect consumers, business and the economy with the urgent need to reduce national GHG emissions. In the absence of Federal legislation, the EPA is moving forward with the regulation of GHG emissions under the Clean Air Act. In addition, there have been recent developments in the international regulation of GHG emissions pursuant to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (“UNFCCC” or “Convention”). See ITEM 1. BUSINESS, "Water"Air Quality" of the Exelon 20172018 Form 10-K for further discussion.additional information.

Water Quality
Section 316(b) requires that the cooling water intake structures at electric power plants reflect the best technology available to minimize adverse environmental impacts, and is implemented through state-


levelstate-level NPDES permit programs. All of Generation’s power generation facilities with cooling water systems are subject to the regulations. Facilities without closed-cycle recirculating systems (e.g., cooling towers) are potentially most affected by recent changes to the regulations. For Generation, those facilities are Calvert Cliffs, Clinton, Dresden, Eddystone, Fairless Hills, FitzPatrick, Ginna, Gould Street, Mountain Creek, Handley, Mystic Unit 7, Nine Mile Point Unit 1, Peach Bottom, Quad Cities, and Salem.See ITEM 1. BUSINESS, "Water Quality" of the Exelon 2018 Form 10-K for further discussion.additional information.
Solid and Hazardous Waste
In October 2015, the first federal regulation for the disposal of coal combustion residuals (CCR) from power plants became effective. The rule classifiesclassified CCR as non-hazardous waste under RCRA. Under the regulation,RCRA, and CCR will continuecontinued to be regulated by most states subject to coordination with the federal regulations. In July 2018, the EPA issued a final rule amending the 2015 rule that provides more compliance flexibility to the states and owners and operators of coal ash disposal sites. Generation hascurrently does not own or operate any such sites subject to the CCR rule. Generation previously recorded accruals consistent with state regulation for its owned coal ash sites, and as such, the regulationCCR rule is not expected to impact Exelon’s and Generation’s financial results. Generation does not have sufficient information to reasonably assess the potential likelihood or magnitude of any remediation requirements that may be asserted under the new federal regulationsCCR rule for coal ash disposal sites formerly owned by Generation. For these reasons, Generation is unable to predict whether and to what extent it may ultimately be held responsible for remediation and other costs relating to formerly owned coal ash disposal sites under the new regulations.
See Note 1716 — Commitments and Contingencies of the Combined Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for further detailadditional information related to environmental matters, including the impact of environmental regulation.
Other Legislative and Regulatory Developments
Illinois Clean Energy Progress Act
On March 14, 2019, the Clean Energy Progress Act was introduced in the Illinois General Assembly to preserve Illinois’ clean energy choices arising from FEJA and empower the IPA to conduct capacity procurements outside of PJM’s base residual auction process, while utilizing the fixed resource requirement provisions in PJM's tariffs which are still subject to penalties and other obligations under the PJM tariffs. The most significant provisions of the proposed legislation are as follows: (1) it allows the IPA to procure capacity directly from clean energy resources that have previously sold ZECs or RECs, including certain of Generation’s nuclear plants in Illinois, or from new clean energy resources, (2) it establishes a goal of achieving 100% carbon-free power in the ComEd service territory by 2032, and (3) it implements reforms to enhance consumer protections in the state’s competitive retail electricity and natural gas markets, including Generation’s retail customers. Energy legislation has also been proposed by other stakeholders, including renewable resource developers, environmental advocates, and coal-fueled generators. Exelon and Generation are working with legislators and stakeholders and cannot predict the outcome or the potential financial impact, if any, on Exelon or Generation.
Keep Powering Pennsylvania Act
On March 11, 2019, the Keep Powering Pennsylvania Act was introduced in the Pennsylvania General Assembly to amend the Alternative Energy Portfolio Standards Act of 2004. The proposed legislation recognizes the value that all zero-emission electric generation resources provide to Pennsylvania by adding nuclear plants and certain other renewable generation resources (Tier III resources) to the zero-emission electric generation resources that currently receive alternative energy credits in Pennsylvania. Further, the proposed legislation would allow for these Tier III resources to continue to receive capacity payments at the same level as the PJM capacity auction clearing price. In order to initially qualify as a Tier III resource, a resource must make a commitment to operate for at least six years. The price of the alternative energy credits for Tier III resources is tied to the value of existing Tier I resources, with a price cap. Regulated utilities, including PECO, would be required to purchase alternative energy credits for all retail customers and allowed to recover those costs from customers. Exelon and Generation are working with legislators and stakeholders and cannot predict the outcome or the potential financial impact, if any, on Exelon or Generation.

Nuclear Powers Act of 2019
On April 12, 2019, the Nuclear Powers America Act of 2019 was introduced to the United States Congress, which expands the current investment tax credit to existing nuclear power plants. The proposed legislation would provide a credit equal to 30% of continued capital investment in certain nuclear energy-related expenditures, including capital expenses and nuclear fuel, starting from tax years 2019 through 2023. Thereafter, the credit rate would be reduced to 26% in 2024, 22% in 2025, and 10% in 2026 and beyond. To qualify for the credit, the plant must be currently operational and must have applied for an operating license renewal before 2026.  Exelon and Generation are working with legislators and stakeholders and cannot predict the outcome or the potential financial impact, if any, on Exelon or Generation.
Employees
In January 2017, anDuring 2018, Generation finalized its CBA with the Security Officer’s union at Braidwood which will expire in 2021. Exelon Utilities finalized its two ACE Local 210 contracts and both will expire in 2023. Additionally, the CBA between Exelon Nuclear Security at Clinton and the SEIU Local 1 was extended so that the matter between two rival union organizations can be resolved. An election was held, at BGE which resulted inand the new union representationnamed "LEOSU" prevailed. Negotiations will begin for approximately 1,394 employees. BGE and IBEW Local 410 are negotiating an initial agreement with LEOSU which could result in some modifications to wages, hours and other terms and conditions of employment. Negotiations have been productive and continue. No agreement has been finalized to date and managementManagement cannot predict the outcome of such negotiations. Additionally, prior to commencing negotiations at Braidwood Generating Station with its Security Union, SPFPA Local 228, a rival Union petitioned the NLRB to represent the Security Officers in lieu of the incumbent Union. AnThere was an organizing effort over approximately 18 ACE control room System Operators. While an election was held with an outcome favorable to Local 210, collective bargaining over this small segment of employees will not commence until the issue of whether the System Operators are NLRA statutory supervisors is determined, and that matter is currently before the incumbent Union prevailed. The rival union sought to overturnNLRB. Negotiations continue between BGE and IBEW Local 410 for a first contract and it is not certain when negotiations will conclude but we anticipate a favorable outcome. In April 2019, the electionCBAs with IBEW Local 15 covering employees at BSC, ComEd and filed unfair labor practice charges against the incumbent which were denied following an NLRB Regional Hearing. Due to the legal proceedings between the Unions, the existing CBAGeneration, was extended priorthrough 2024.

Lastly, negotiations forwe anticipate a collective bargaining agreement with Local 501 of Operating Engineers are ongoing with a small unit of employees at Exelon's Hyperion Solutions facility.positive outcome.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Revenue Recognition (All Registrants)
Sources of Revenue and Determination of Accounting Treatment
The Registrants earn revenues from various business activities including: the sale of power and energy-related products, such as natural gas, capacity, and other commodities in non-regulated markets (wholesale and retail); the sale and delivery of power and natural gas in regulated markets; and the provision of other energy-related non-regulated products and services.
The accounting treatment for revenue recognition is based on the nature of the underlying transaction and applicable authoritative guidance. The Registrants primarily apply the Revenue from


Contracts with Customers, Derivative, and Alternative Revenue Program (ARP) guidance to recognize revenue as discussed in more detail below.
Revenue from Contracts with Customers
Under the Revenue from Contracts with Customers guidance, the Registrants recognize revenues in the period in which the performance obligations within contracts with customers are satisfied, which generally occurs when power, natural gas, and other energy-related commodities are physically delivered to the customer. Transactions of the Registrants within the scope of Revenue from Contracts with Customers generally include non-derivative agreements, contracts that are designated as normal purchases and normal sales (NPNS), sales to utility customers under regulated service tariffs, and spot-market energy commodity sales, including settlements with independent system operators.
The determination of Generation’s and the Utility Registrants' retail power and natural gas sales to individual customers is based on systematic readings of customer meters, generally on a monthly basis. At the end of each month, amounts of energy delivered to customers since the date of the last meter reading are estimated, and corresponding unbilled revenue is recorded. The measurement of unbilled revenue is affected by the following factors: daily customer usage measured by generation or gas throughput volume, customer usage by class, losses of energy during delivery to customers and applicable customer rates. Increases or decreases in volumes delivered to the utilities’ customers and favorable or unfavorable rate mix due to changes in usage patterns in customer classes in the period could be significant to the calculation of unbilled revenue. In addition, revenues may fluctuate monthly as a result of customers electing to use an alternate supplier, since unbilled commodity revenues are not recorded for these customers. Changes in the timing of meter reading schedules and the number and type of customers scheduled for each meter reading date also impact the measurement of unbilled revenue; however, total operating revenues would remain materially unchanged
See Note 5 — Accounts Receivable of the Exelon 2017 Form 10-K for additional information on unbilled revenue.
See Note 1 — Significant Accounting Policies and Note 5 — Revenue from Contracts with Customers of the Combined Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for more information on the impacts of the new revenue accounting standard effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after December 15, 2017.
Derivative Revenues
The Registrants record revenues and expenses using the mark-to-market method of accounting for transactions that are accounted for as derivatives. These derivative transactions primarily relate to commodity price risk management activities. Mark-to-market revenues and expenses include: inception gains or losses on new transactions where the fair value is observable, unrealized gains and losses from changes in the fair value of open contracts, and realized gains and losses.
Alternative Revenue Program Revenues
Certain of the Utility Registrants’ ratemaking mechanisms qualify as Alternative Revenue Programs (ARPs) if they (i) are established by a regulatory order and allow for automatic adjustment to future rates, (ii) provide for additional revenues (above those amounts currently reflected in the price of utility service) that are objectively determinable and probable of recovery, and (iii) allow for the collection of those additional revenues within 24 months following the end of the period in which they were recognized. For mechanisms that meet these criteria, which include the Utility Registrants’ formula rate and revenue decoupling mechanisms, the Utility Registrants adjust revenue and record an offsetting regulatory asset or liability once the condition or event allowing additional billing or refund has occurred. The ARP revenues presented in the Utility Registrants’ Consolidated Statements of Operations and


Comprehensive Income include both: (i) the recognition of “originating” ARP revenues (when the regulator-specified condition or event allowing for additional billing or refund has occurred) and (ii) an equal and offsetting reversal of the “originating” ARP revenues as those amounts are reflected in the price of utility service and recognized as Revenue from Contracts with Customers.
ComEd records ARP revenue for its best estimate of the electric distribution, energy efficiency, and transmission revenue impacts resulting from future changes in rates that ComEd believes are probable of approval by the ICC and FERC in accordance with its formula rate mechanisms. BGE, Pepco, and DPL record ARP revenue for their best estimate of the electric and natural gas distribution revenue impacts resulting from future changes in rates that they believe are probable of approval by the MDPSC and/or DCPSC in accordance with their revenue decoupling mechanisms. PECO, BGE, Pepco, DPL and ACE record ARP revenue for their best estimate of the transmission revenue impacts resulting from future changes in rates that they believe are probable of approval by FERC in accordance with their formula rate mechanisms. Estimates of the current year revenue requirement are based on actual and/or forecasted costs and investments in rate base for the period and the rates of return on common equity and associated regulatory capital structure allowed under the applicable tariff. The estimated reconciliation can be affected by, among other things, variances in costs incurred, investments made, allowed ROE, and actions by regulators or courts.
See Note 6Regulatory Matters of the Combined Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for further information.
Management of each of the Registrants makes a number of significant estimates, assumptions and judgments in the preparation of its financial statements. See ITEM 7.

The Registrants' Results of Operations includes discussion of RNF, which is a financial measure not defined under GAAP and may not be comparable to other companies' presentations or deemed more useful than the GAAP information provided elsewhere in this report. The 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 measure because it provides information that can be used to evaluate its operational performance. For the Utility Registrants, their Operating revenues reflect the full and current recovery of commodity procurement costs given the rider mechanisms approved by their respective state regulators. The commodity procurement costs, which are recorded in Purchased power and fuel expense, and the associated revenues can be volatile. Therefore, the Utility Registrants believe that RNF is a useful measure because it excludes the effect on Operating revenues caused by the volatility in these expenses.

Three Months Ended March 31, 20182019 Compared to Three Months Ended March 31, 2017.2018. Generation’s Net income attributable to membership interest for the three months ended March 31, 2018 decreased increased by $227 million primarily due to:
Net unrealized gains on NDT funds in 2019 compared to losses in 2018;
Decreased mark-to-market losses;
A benefit associated with the same period in 2017, primarily due to higher Depreciationremeasurement of the TMI ARO; and amortization expenses, a Bargain purchase gain in 2017, and lower Other income,
Increased capacity prices.
The increases were partially offset by higher Revenue netby:
Lower realized energy prices and
The absence of purchased power and fuel expense, lower Operating and maintenance expenses, higher Gain on sales of assets and businesses and lower Income taxes. The increasethe revenues recognized in Depreciation and amortization is primarily due to accelerated depreciation and amortization expenses associated with Generation'sthe first quarter 2018 decisionrelated to early retire the Oyster Creek nuclear facility and Generation's second quarter 2017 decision to early retire TMI. The Bargain purchase gain is due to the acquisition of the FitzPatrick nuclear facility in 2017. The decrease in Other income is primarily due to the change in realized and unrealized gains and losses on NDT funds. The increase in Revenue net of purchased power and fuel expense primarily relates to the impacts of the New York CES and Illinois Zero Emission Standards (including the impact of zero emission creditsZECs generated in Illinois from June 1, 2017 through December 2017.


December 31, 2017), the acquisition of the FitzPatrick nuclear facility and decreased nuclear outage days, and higher capacity prices, partially offset by increased Mark-to-market losses in 2018 compared to 2017, the conclusion of the Ginna Reliability Support Services Agreement and lower realized energy prices, partially offset by the addition of two combined-cycle gas turbines in Texas. The decrease in Operating and maintenance is primarily due to certain costs associated with mergers and acquisitions related to the PHI and FitzPatrick acquisitions, decreased nuclear outage days in 2018, and the impact of a supplemental NEIL distribution, partially offset by increased operating expenses related to the 2017 acquisition of FitzPatrick. The increase in Gain on sales of assets and businesses is primarily due Generation's 2018 sale of its electrical contracting business. The decrease in income taxes is primarily due to tax savings related to TCJA.

(a)ComEd evaluates its operating performance using the measure of Revenue net of purchased power expense. ComEd believes that Revenue net of purchased power expense is a useful measurement because it provides information that can be used to evaluate its operational performance. In general, ComEd only earns margin based on the delivery and transmission of electricity. ComEd has included its discussion of Revenue net of purchased power expense below as a complement to the financial information provided in accordance with GAAP. However, Revenue net of purchased power expense 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.
(b)For regulatory recovery mechanisms, including ComEd’s electric distribution and transmission formula rates, and riders, revenues increase and decrease i) as fully recoverable costs fluctuate (with no impact on net earnings), and ii) pursuant to changes in rate base, capital structure and ROE (which impact net earnings).

ComEd’s Net income remained relatively consistent for the three months ended March 31, 2018 was higher than2019 as compared to the same period in 2017 primarily due to higher electric distribution, transmission and energy efficiency formula rate earnings. The TCJA did not impact ComEd's net income for the three months ended March 31, 2018 as the favorable income tax impacts were fully offset by lower revenues resulting from the pass back of the tax savings through customer rates.2018.
Revenues Net of Purchased Power Expense

There are certain drivers of Operating revenues that are fully offset by their impact on Purchased power expense, such as commodity, REC, and ZEC procurement costs and participation in customer choice programs. ComEd is permitted to recoverrecovers electricity, REC, and ZEC procurement costs from retail customers without mark-up. Therefore, fluctuations in these costs have no impact on Revenue net of purchased power expense.

Electric 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, investments being recovered, and allowed ROE. ComEd’s allowed ROE is the annual average rate on 30-year treasury notes plus 580 basis points. In addition, ComEd's allowed ROE is subject to reduction if ComEd does not deliver the reliability and customer service benefits to which it has committed over the ten-year life of the investment program. Electric distribution revenue decreasedincreased during the three months ended March 31, 2019 as compared to the same period in 2018, primarily due to the impact of the lower federal income tax rate, partially offset by increased revenues due to higher rate base and increased Depreciation expense as compared to the same period in 2017.operating and maintenance and depreciation expenses. See Operating and maintenance and Depreciation and amortization expense discussions below and Note 6 — Regulatory Matters and Note 12 — Income Taxes of the Combined Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.Matters.
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. ForTransmission revenue increased for the three months ended March 31, 2018, ComEd recorded decreased transmission revenue primarily due to the decreased peak load, partially offset by increased revenues due to higher rate base and increased Depreciation expense2019 as compared to the same period in 2017.2018, primarily due to the increased peak load and higher rate base. See Operating and maintenance expense below and Note 6 — Regulatory Matters and Note 12 — Income Taxes of the Combined Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.
Energy Efficiency Revenue. Beginning June 1, 2017, 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. ComEd’s allowed ROE isEnergy efficiency revenue increased during the annual averagethree months ended March 31, 2019 as compared to the same period in 2018, primarily due to the impact of higher rate on 30-year treasury notes plus 580 basis points. Beginning January 1, 2018, ComEd’s allowed ROE is subject to a maximum downward or upward adjustment of 200 basis points if ComEd’s cumulative persisting annual MWh savings falls short of or exceeds specified percentage benchmarks of its annual incremental savings goal.base. See Depreciation and amortization expense discussions below and Note 6 — Regulatory Matters of the Combined Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.
Regulatory Required Programs.This represents the change in Operating revenues collected under approved rate riders to recover costs incurred for regulatory programs such as ComEd’s purchased power administrative costs and energy efficiency and demand response through June 1, 2017 pursuant


to FEJA. The riders are designed to provide full and current cost recovery. An equal and offsetting amount has been included in Operating and maintenance expense. See Operating and maintenance expense discussion below for additional information on included programs.

Three Months Ended March 31, 20182019 Compared to Three Months Ended March 31, 2017.2018. PECO's Net income decreased from the same period in 2017, increased by $55 million primarily due to lower storm costs, higher Operating and maintenance expense attributable to increased storm restoration costs as a result of winter storms in March 2018, partially offset by higher Operating revenues net of purchase power and fuel expense attributable to favorable weather. The TCJA did not impact PECO's Net income for the three months ended March 31, 2018 as the favorable income tax impacts were fully offset by lower revenues resulting from the pass back of the tax savings through customer rates.
Revenues Net of Purchased Power and Fuel Expense
Electric and natural gas revenue and purchased power and fuel expense are affected by fluctuations in commodity procurement costs. PECO's electric supply and natural gas costdistribution rates charged to customers are subject to adjustments as specifies in the PAPUC-approved tariffs that are designed to recover or refund the difference between the actual cost of electric supply and natural gas and the amount included in rates in accordance with PECO's GSA and PGC, respectively. Therefore, fluctuations in electric supply and natural gas procurement costs have no impact on electric and natural gas revenue net of purchased power and fuel expense.


Electric and natural gas revenue and purchased power and fuel expense are also affected by fluctuations in participation in the Customer Choice Program. All PECO customers have the choice to purchase electricity and natural gas from competitive electric generation and natural gas suppliers, respectively. The customer's Choice of suppliers does not impact the volume of deliveries, but affects revenue collected from customers related to supplied energy and natural gas service. Customer choice program activity has no impact on electric and natural gas revenues net of purchased power and fuel expense.
Retail deliveries purchased from competitive electric generation and natural gas suppliers (as a percentage of kWh and mmcf sales, respectively) for the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, consisted of the following:

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 March 31, 2018 compared to the same period in 2017, Operating revenue net of purchased power and fuel increased due to favorable weather conditions.


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 30-year period in PECO's service territory. The changes in heating and cooling degree days in PECO’s service territory for the three months ended March 31, 2018 compared to the same periods in 2017 and normal weather consisted of the following:

Volume. Operating revenue net of purchased power related to delivery volume, exclusive of the effects of weather, for the three months ended March 31, 2018 compared to the same period in 2017, remained relatively consistent. Operating revenue net of fuel expense for the three months ended March 31, 2018 compared to the same period in 2017 increased due to strong customer growth and moderate economic growth.
Pricing. Operating revenues net of purchased power as a result of pricing for the three months ended March 31, 2018 compared to the same period in 2017 decreased primarily due to the pass back through customers rates the tax savings associated with the lower federal income tax rate. See Note 6 — Regulatory Matters of the Combined Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.
Regulatory Required Programs. This represents the change in Operating revenues collected under approved riders to recover costs incurred for regulatory programs such as smart meter, energy efficiency 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 Operating and maintenance expense, Depreciation and amortization expense and Income taxes. Refer to the Operating and maintenance expense discussion below for additional information on included programs.
Other. Other revenue, which can vary period to period, primarily includes wholesale transmission revenue, rental revenue, revenue related to late payment charges and assistance provided to other utilities through mutual assistance programs.

BGE believes revenues net of purchased power and fuel expense are useful measurements of its performance because they provide information that can be used to evaluate its net revenue from operations. BGE has included the analysis below as a complement to the financial information provided in accordance with GAAP. However, revenues net of purchased power and fuel expense figures are not a presentation defined under GAAP and may not be comparable to other companies’ presentations or more useful than the GAAP information provided elsewhere in this report.
Net Income
Three Months Ended March 31, 2018 Compared to Three Months Ended March 31, 2017. BGE’s Net income for the three months ended March 31, 2018 was higher than the same period in 2017, primarily due to higher transmission revenues, which were partially offset by an increase in Operating and maintenance expense attributable to increased storm restoration costs as a result of winter storms in March 2018. The TCJA did not impact BGE's net income for the three months ended March 31, 2018 as the favorable income tax impacts were predominantly offset by lower revenues resulting from the pass back of the tax savings through customer rates.
Revenues Net of Purchased Power and Fuel Expense
There are certain drivers toof Operating revenues that are fully offset by their impact on Purchased power and fuel expense such as commodity and REC procurement costs and programs allowing customers to select a competitive electric or natural gas supplier. Operating revenues and Purchased power and fuel expense are affected by fluctuationsparticipation in commodity procurement costs. BGE’s electric and natural gas rates charged to customers are subject to periodic adjustments that are designed to recover or refund the difference between the actual cost of purchased electric power and purchasedcustomer choice programs. PECO recovers electricity, natural gas and the amount included in rates in accordance with the MDPSC’s market-based SOS and gas commodity programs, respectively.REC procurement costs from customers without mark-up. Therefore, fluctuations in electric supply and natural gas procurementthese costs have no impact on Revenues net of purchased power and fuel expense.RNF.


Electric and natural gas revenue and purchased power and fuel expense are also affected by fluctuations in the number of customers electing to use a competitive supplier for electricity and/or natural gas. All BGE customers have the choice to purchase electricity and natural gas from competitive suppliers. The customers' choice of suppliers does not impact the volume of deliveries, but does affect revenue collected from customers related to supplied electricity and natural gas.
Retail deliveries purchased from competitive electricity and natural gas suppliers (as a percentage of kWh and mmcf sales, respectively) for the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017 consisted of the following:

Distribution Revenue. The decrease in distribution revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2018, compared to the same period in 2017, was primarily due to the impact of reduced distribution rates to reflect the lower federal income tax rate. See Note 6 — Regulatory Matters of the Combined Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.
Revenue Decoupling. The demand for electricity and natural gas is affected by weather and usage conditions. The MDPSC allows BGE to record a monthly adjustment to its electric and natural gas distribution revenue from all residential customers, commercial electric customers, the majority of large industrial electric customers, and all firm service natural gas customers to eliminate the effect of abnormal weather and usage patterns per customer on BGE's electric and natural gas distribution volumes, thereby recovering a specified dollar amount of distribution revenue per customer, by customer


class, regardless of fluctuations in actual consumption levels. This allows BGE to recognize revenue at MDPSC-approved distribution charges per customer, regardless of what BGE's actual distribution volumes were for a billing period. Therefore, while this revenue is affected by customer growth (i.e., increase in the number of customers), it will not be affected by volatility in actual weather or usage conditions (i.e., changes in consumption per customer). BGE bills or credits customers in subsequent months for the difference between approved revenue levels under revenue decoupling and actual customer billings.
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 30-year period in BGE's service territory. The changes in heating and cooling degree days in BGE's service territory for the three months ended March 31, 2018 compared to the same period in 2017 consisted of the following:

Regulatory Required Programs. Revenue from regulatory required programs are billings for the costs of various legislative and/or regulatory programs that are recoverable from customers on a full and current basis. These programs are designed to provide full cost recovery, as well as a return in certain instances. The costs of these programs are included in Operating and maintenance expense, Depreciation and amortization expense and Taxes other than income in BGE's Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income.
Transmission Revenue. Under a FERC approved formula, transmission revenue varies from year to year based upon rate adjustments to reflect fluctuations in the underlying costs, capital investments being recovered and other billing determinants. The increase in transmission revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2018, compared to the same period in 2017, was primarily due to increases in capital investment and operating and maintenance expense recoveries. See Operating and Maintenance Expense below and Note 6 — Regulatory Matters of the Combined Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.
Other, Net. Other net revenue, which can vary from period to period, primarily includes late payment fees and other miscellaneous revenue such as service application fees, assistance provided to other utilities through BGE's mutual assistance program and recoveries of electric supply and natural gas procurement costs.

(a)PHI evaluates its operating performance using the measure of revenue net of purchased power and fuel expense for electric and natural gas sales. PHI believes revenue net of purchased power and fuel expense is a useful measurement because it provides information that can be used to evaluate its operational performance. PHI has included the analysis below as a complement to the financial information provided in accordance with GAAP. However, Revenue net of purchased power and fuel expense 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.
Net Income
Three Months Ended March 31, 2018 Compared to Three Months Ended March 31, 2017.PHI's Net income for the three months ended March 31, 2018 was $65 million compared to $140 million for of three months ended March 31, 2017. The decrease in Net income reflects an increase in Operating and maintenance expense and an increase in the Depreciation and amortization expense partially offset by the impact of increases in electric distribution base rates and natural gas rates within Revenues net of purchased power and fuel expense. The TCJA did not impact PHI’s Net income for the three months ended March 31, 2018 as the favorable income tax impacts were fully offset by lower revenues resulting from the pass back of the tax savings through customer rates.


Revenues Net of Purchased Power and Fuel Expense
Operating revenue net of purchased power and fuel expense, which is a non-GAAP measure discussed above, increased by $17 million for the three months ended March 31, 2018 compared to the same period in 2017. The increase is primarily attributable to the following factors:
Increase of $11 million at Pepco primarily related to the impact of the new electric distribution base rates charged to customers in Maryland that became effective in October 2017, the impact of new electric distribution base rates charged to customers in the District of Columbia effective August 2017, and the impact of an increase in the Maryland surcharge rate (which is substantially offset in Taxes other than income), partially offset by the impact of reduced distribution rates to reflect the lower federal income tax rate;
Increase of $11 million at ACE primarily related to higher average residential and commercial customer usage, favorable weather related sales, and the impact of the new electric distribution base rate charged to customers that became effective in October 2017, partially offset by the impact of reduced distribution rates to reflect the lower federal income tax rate;
Increase of $2 million at DPL primarily related to favorable weather related sales, partially offset by the impact of reduced distribution base rates to reflect the lower federal income tax rate; and
Decrease of $8 million at PHI Corporate primarily related to lower affiliate revenues at PHISCO as a result of the completion of integration transition activities.
Operating and Maintenance Expense
Operating and maintenance expense increased by $53 million for the three months ended March 31, 2018 compared to the same period in 2017. The increase is attributable to the following factors:
Increase of $25 million at DPL primarily due to a write-off of construction work-in-progress, higher uncollectible accounts expense as a result of higher accounts receivable, and the absence of integration cost deferrals from 2017;
Increase of $17 million at Pepco primarily due to higher uncollectible accounts expense as a result of higher accounts receivable;
Increase of $14 million at ACE primarily due to an increase in labor and contracting expense; and
Decrease of $5 million at PHI Corporate primarily related to lower labor expense at PHISCO as a result of the completion of integration transition activities.
Depreciation and Amortization Expense
Depreciation and amortization expense increased by $16 million primarily due to ongoing capital expenditures at Pepco, DPL, and ACE.
Taxes Other Than Income
Taxes other than income for the three months ended March 31, 2018 compared to the same period in 2017, remained relatively consistent.
Interest Expense, Net
Interest expense, net for the three months ended March 31, 2018 compared to the same period in 2017, remained relatively consistent.


Other, Net
Other, net for the three months ended March 31, 2018 compared to the same period in 2017, remained relatively consistent.
Effective Income Tax Rate
PHI's effective income tax rate was 12.2% and (6.9)% for the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively. The increase in the effective income tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2018 as compared to the same period in 2017 is primarily due to the absence of unrecognized tax benefits for Pepco, DPL, and ACE from 2017, partially offset by the lower federal income tax rate as a result of the TCJA. See Note 12 — Income Taxes of the Combined Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information regarding the components of the effective income tax rates.

(a)Pepco evaluates its operating performance using the measure of revenue net of purchased power expense for electric sales. Pepco believes revenue net of purchased power expense is a useful measurement because it provides information that can be used to evaluate its operational performance. Pepco has included the analysis below as a complement to the financial information provided in accordance with GAAP. However, Revenue net of purchased power expense 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.
Net Income
Three Months Ended March 31, 2018 Compared to Three Months Ended March 31, 2017.Pepco's Net income for the three months ended March 31, 2018, was lower than the same period in 2017, primarily due to higher Operating and maintenance expense attributable to an increase in Uncollectible accounts expense as a result of higher accounts receivable and higher Depreciation and amortization expense attributable to ongoing capital expenditures, partially offset by higher electric distribution base rates charged to customers in Maryland that became effective in October 2017 and higher electric distribution base rates charged to customers in the District of Columbia that became effective August 2017. The TCJA did not impact Pepco's Net income for the three months ended March 31, 2018 as the favorable tax impacts were fully offset by lower revenues resulting from the pass back of the tax savings through customer rates.
Revenues Net of Purchased Power Expense
Operating revenues include revenue from the distribution and supply of electricity to Pepco’s customers within its service territories at regulated rates. Operating revenues also include transmission service revenue that Pepco receives as a transmission owner from PJM at rates regulated by FERC. Transmission rates are updated annually based on a FERC-approved formula methodology. Operating revenues also include work and services performed on behalf of customers, including other utilities,


which is generally not subject to price regulation. Work and services includes mutual assistance to other utilities, highway relocation, rentals of pole attachments, late payment fees and collection fees.
Electric revenues and purchased power expense are also affected by fluctuations in participation in the Customer Choice Program. All Pepco customers have the choice to purchase electricity from competitive electric generation suppliers. The customers' choice of supplier does not impact the volume of deliveries, but affects revenue collected from customers related to supplied energy service.
Retail deliveries purchased from competitive electric generation suppliers (as a percentage of kWh sales) for the three months ended March 31, 2018 compared to the same period in 2017, consisted of the following:

Volume. The increase in operating revenue net of purchased power and fuel expense related to delivery volume, exclusive of the effects of weather, for the three months ended March 31, 2018 compared to the same period in 2017, primarily reflects the impact of residential customer growth.
Distribution Revenue.   The decrease in distribution revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2018 compared to the same period in 2017 was primarily due to the impact of reduced distribution


rates to reflect the lower federal income tax rate partially offset by higher electric distribution base rates charged to customers in Maryland that became effective in October 2017 and higher electric distribution base rates charged to customers in the District of Columbia that became effective August 2017. See Note 6—Regulatory Matters of the Combined Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.
Revenue Decoupling. Pepco’s results historically have been seasonal, generally producing higher revenue and income in the warmest and coldest periods of the year. For retail customers of Pepco in Maryland and in the District of Columbia, revenues are not affected by unseasonably warmer or colder weather because a bill stabilization adjustment (BSA) for retail customers was implemented that provides for a fixed distribution charge per customer. The BSA has the effect of decoupling the distribution revenue recognized in a reporting period from the amount of power delivered during the period. As a result, the only factors that will cause distribution revenue from customers in Maryland and the District of Columbia to fluctuate from period to period are changes in the number of customers and changes in the approved distribution charge per customer. Changes in customer usage (due to weather conditions, energy prices, energy efficiency programs or other reasons) from period to period have no impact on reported distribution revenue for customers to whom the BSA applies.
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 Pepco's service territory. The changes in heating and cooling degree days in Pepco’s service territory for the three months ended March 31, 2018 compared to the same period in 2017 and normal weather consisted of the following:

Regulatory Required Programs.This represents the change in Operating revenues collected under approved riders to recover costs incurred for regulatory programs such as energy efficiency programs. The riders are designed to provide full and current cost recovery as well as a return. The costs of these programs are included in Operating and maintenance expense, Depreciation and amortization expense and Taxes other than income in Pepco's Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income. Refer to the Operating and maintenance expense and Depreciation and amortization expense discussion below for additional information on included programs. Revenue from regulatory required programs increased for the three months ended March 31, 2018, compared to the same period in 2017, due to increases in the Maryland and District of Columbia surcharge rates and sales due to higher volumes (which are substantially offset in Taxes other than income and Depreciation and amortization expense).
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, the highest daily peak load and other billing adjustments. The decrease in transmission revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2018 compared to the same period in 2017 is a result of a decrease in network transmission service peak loads.
Other.Other revenue, which can vary period to period, includes rental revenue, revenue related to late payment charges, assistance provided to other utilities through mutual assistance programs, and recoveries of other taxes.

(a)DPL evaluates its operating performance using the measure of revenue net of purchased power expense for electric sales and revenue net of fuel expense for natural gas sales. DPL believes revenue net of purchased power expense and revenue net of fuel expense are useful measurements because they provide information that can be used to evaluate its operational performance. DPL has included the analysis below as a complement to the financial information provided in accordance with GAAP. However, Revenue net of purchased power expense and Revenue net of fuel expense 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.
Net Income
Three Months Ended March 31, 2018 Compared to Three Months Ended March 31, 2017. DPL's Net income for the three months ended March 31, 2018, was lower than the same period in 2017 primarily due to higher Operating and maintenance expense attributable to an increase in Uncollectible accounts expense as a result of higher accounts receivable, an absence of integration cost deferrals from 2017 and a write-off of construction work in progress. The TCJA did not impact DPL's Net income for the three months ended March 31, 2018 as the favorable tax impacts were fully offset by lower revenues resulting from the pass back of the tax savings through customer rates.
Revenues Net of Purchased Power and Fuel Expense
Operating revenues include revenue from the distribution and supply of electricity and natural gas to DPL’s customers within its service territories at regulated rates. Operating revenues also include transmission service revenue that DPL receives as a transmission owner from PJM at rates regulated by FERC. Transmission rates are updated annually based on a FERC-approved formula methodology. Operating revenues also include work and services performed on behalf of customers, including other utilities, which is generally not subject to price regulation. Work and services includes mutual assistance to other utilities, highway relocation, rentals of pole attachments, late payment fees and collection fees.
Natural gas operating revenue includes sources that are subject to price regulation (Regulated Gas Revenue) and those that generally are not subject to price regulation (Other Gas Revenue). Regulated


gas revenue includes the revenue DPL receives from on-system natural gas delivered sales and the transportation of natural gas for customers within its service territory at regulated rates. Other gas revenue consists of off-system natural gas sales and the short-term release of interstate pipeline transportation and storage capacity not needed to serve customers. Off-system sales are made possible when low demand for natural gas by regulated customers creates excess pipeline capacity.

Revenue Decoupling. DPL’s results historically have been seasonal, generally producing higher revenue and income in the warmest and coldest periods of the year. For retail customers of DPL in Maryland, revenues are not affected by unseasonably warmer or colder weather because a bill stabilization adjustment (BSA) for retail customers was implemented that provides for a fixed distribution charge per customer. The BSA has the effect of decoupling the distribution revenue recognized in a reporting period from the amount of power delivered during the period. As a result, the only factors that will cause distribution revenue from customers in Maryland to fluctuate from period to period are changes in the number of customers and changes in the approved distribution charge per customer. A modified fixed variable rate design, which would provide for a charge not tied to a customer’s volumetric consumption of electricity or natural gas, has been proposed for DPL electricity and natural gas customers in Delaware. Changes in customer usage (due to weather conditions, energy prices, energy efficiency programs or other reasons) from period to period have no impact on reported distribution revenue for customers to whom the BSA applies.
Weather. The demand for electricity and natural gas in areas not subject to the BSA 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 March 31, 20182019 compared to the same period in 2017, operating2018, RNF increased slightly due to favorable weather conditions.
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 30-year period in PECO's service territory. The changes in heating and cooling degree-days in PECO’s service territory for the three months ended March 31, 2019 compared to the same period in 2018 and normal weather consisted of the following:

Volume. Electric volume, exclusive of the effects of weather, for the three months ended March 31, 2019 compared to the same period in 2018, increased due to a shift in the volume profile across classes from the commercial and industrial classes to the residential class.  Natural gas volume for the three months ended March 31, 2019, compared to the same period in 2018, increased due to strong customer growth and moderate economic growth.

Distribution Revenue increased for the three months ended March 31, 2019 compared to the same period in 2018 primarily due to higher electric distribution base rates and higher gas distribution interim base rates charged to customers in Maryland and Delaware that were put into effect throughout 2018. See Note 6 — Regulatory Matters of the Combined Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.
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 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 Operating and maintenance expense, Depreciation and amortization expense and Taxes other than income.
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 increased for the three months ended March 31, 2019 compared to the same period in 2018 primarily due to higher rates effective June 2018 and an increase in the highest daily peak load.
Other revenue includes rental revenue, revenue related to late payment charges, mutual assistance revenues, and recoveries of other taxes.

ACE's Net income for the three months ended March 31, 2018, was lower than the same period in 2017,increased by $3 million primarily due to higher Income tax expense as a result of a decrease in unrecognized tax liabilities during 2017increased transmission base rates that became effective June 2018 and an increase in Operating and maintenance expenses attributable to higher labor and contracting expenses,the highest daily peak loads, partially offset by an increase in Revenues net of purchased power expense resulting from higher distribution revenues due to higherlower average residential and commercial customer usage, favorable weather related sales, and the impact of electric distribution base rate increases approved by the NJBPU effective October 2017. The TCJA did not impact ACE’s Net income for the three months ended March 31, 2018 as the favorable income tax impacts were fully offset by lower revenues resulting from the pass back of the tax savings through customer rates. usage.
Revenues Net of Purchased Power Expense
and Fuel Expense. There are certain drivers to Operating revenues include revenuethat are fully offset by their impact on Purchased power and fuel expense, such as commodity and REC procurement costs and participation in customer choice programs. ACE recovers electricity and REC procurement costs from the distribution and supply of electricity to ACE’s customers within its service territories at regulated rates. Operating revenues also include transmission service revenue that ACE receives as a transmission owner from PJM at rates regulated by FERC. Transmission rates are updated annually based on a FERC-approved formula methodology. Operating revenues also include revenue from Transition Bond Charges that ACE receives, and pays to ACE Funding, to fund the principal and interest payments on Transition Bonds, revenue from the resale in


the PJM wholesale markets for energy and capacity purchased under contacts with unaffiliated NUGs, and revenue from transmission enhancement credits. Operating revenues also include work and services performed on behalf of customers, including other utilities, which is generally not subject to price regulation. Work and services includes mutual assistance to other utilities, highway relocation, rentals of pole attachments, late payment fees and collection fees.

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. DuringThere was no change in RNF related to weather for the three months ended March 31, 20182019 compared to the same period in 2017, operating revenue net2018.

For retail customers of ACE distribution revenues are not decoupled from the distribution of electricity by ACE, and thus are subject to variability due to changes in customer consumption. Therefore, changes in customer usage (due to weather conditions, energy prices, energy savings programs or other reasons) from period to period have a direct impact on reported distribution revenue for customers in ACE's service territory.

Regulatory Required Programs represent revenues collected under approved riders to recover costs incurred for regulatory programs such as energy efficiency programs, Societal Benefits Charge, Transition Bonds and BGS administrative 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 Operating and maintenance expense, Depreciation and amortization expense and Taxes other than income.
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 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 March 31, 2019 compared to the same period in 2018 primarily due to a rate increase effective June 2018 and an increase in the highest daily peak loads.

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 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 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 unsecured revolving credit facilities with aggregate bank commitments of $9 billion. In addition, Generation has $545$645 millionin bilateral facilities with banks which have various expirations between JanuaryOctober 2019 and December 2019.April 2021 and $159 million in credit facilities for project finance. The Registrants 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 further discussion.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, ComEd, PECO, BGE, Pepco, DPL and ACE 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 11 — Debt and Credit Agreements of the Combined Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion ofadditional information on the Registrants’ debt and credit agreements.
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 are available. See Note 13 — Nuclear Decommissioning of the Combined Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information on the NRC minimum funding requirements.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 fund investments could appreciate in value. A shortfall could require Exelon to postthat Generation address the shortfall by, among other things, obtaining a parental guaranteesguarantee for Generation’s share of the obligations.funding assurance. However, the amount of any required guarantees or other assurance will ultimately depend on the decommissioning approach, adopted at each site, the associated level of costs, and the decommissioning trustNDT fund investment performance going forward. Within two years after shutting down a plant, Generation must submit a post-shutdown decommissioning activities report (PSDAR) to the NRC that includes the planned option for decommissioning the site. As discussed inof March 31, 2019, across the alternative decommissioning approaches available, Exelon would not be required to post a parental guarantee for TMI or Oyster Creek. See Note 13 — Nuclear Decommissioning of the Combined Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements Generation filed its annual decommissioning funding status report with the NRC on March 28, 2018 for shutdown reactors and reactors within five years of shut down. As of March 31, 2018, across the alternative decommissioning approaches available, Exelon would not be required to post a


parental guarantee for TMI or Oyster Creek. In the event PSEG decides to early retire Salem, Generation estimates a parental guarantee of up to $55 million from Exelon could be required for Salem, dependent upon the ultimate decommissioning approach selected.additional information.
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, the NRC must approve an additional exemption in order for the plant’s owner(s) to utilize the NDT fund to pay for non-radiological decommissioning costs (i.e., spent fuel management and site restoration costs). If a unit does not receive this exemption, the costs would be borne by the owner(s). While the ultimate amounts may vary greatly and could be reduced by alternate decommissioning scenarios and/or reimbursement of certain costs under the DOE reimbursement agreements or future litigation, across the four alternative decommissioning approaches available, if TMI or Oyster Creek were to fail to obtain the exemption, Generation estimates it could incur spent fuel management and site restoration costs over the next ten years of up to $235 million and $205 million net of taxes, respectively, dependent upon the ultimate decommissioning approach selected. In the event PSEG decides to early retire Salem and Salem were to fail to obtain the exemption, Generation estimates it could incur spent fuel management and site restoration costs over the next ten years of up to $90 million net of taxes.taxes under SAFSTOR. On April 5, 2019, Generation filed with the NRC the TMI PSDAR which details the selection of the SAFSTOR option for

decommissioning the plant. On October 19, 2018, the NRC granted Generation's exemption request to use the Oyster Creek NDT funds for non-radiological decommissioning costs.
On July 31, 2018, Generation entered into an agreement for the sale of Oyster Creek which is expected to occur in the second half of 2019. See Note 3 - Mergers, Acquisitions and Dispositions for additional information on the sale of Oyster Creek to Holtec.
Cash Flows from Operating Activities
General
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.
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, competitive suppliers, and their ability to achieve operating cost reductions.

See Note 18 — Supplemental Financial Information of the Combined Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for further detail on non-cash operating activity.
(b)Changes in working capital and other noncurrent assets and liabilities exclude the changes in commercial paper, income taxes and the current portion of long-term debt.
Pension and Other Postretirement Benefits
Management considers various factors when making pension funding decisions, including actuarially determined minimum contribution requirements under ERISA, contributions required to avoid benefit restrictions and at-risk status as defined by the Pension Protection Act of 2006 (the Act), management of the pension obligation and regulatory implications. The Act requires the attainment of certain funding levels to avoid benefit restrictions (such as an inability to pay lump sums or to accrue benefits prospectively), and at-risk status (which triggers higher minimum contribution requirements and participant notification).
To the extent interest rates decline significantly or the pension and OPEB plans earn less than the expected asset returns, annual pension contribution requirements in future years could increase. Conversely, to the extent interest rates increase significantly or the pension and OPEB plans earn greater than the expected asset returns, annual pension and OPEB contribution requirements in future years could decrease. Additionally, expected contributions could change if Exelon changes its pension or OPEB funding strategy.
On October 3, 2017, the US Department of Treasury and IRS released final regulations updating the mortality tables to be used for defined benefit pension plan funding, as well as the valuation of lump sum and other accelerated distribution options, effective for plan years beginning in 2018. The new mortality tables reflect improved projected life expectancy as compared to the existing table, which is generally expected to increase minimum pension funding requirements, Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation premiums and the value of lump sum distributions. The IRS permits plan sponsors the option of delaying use of the new mortality tables for determining minimum funding requirements until 2019, which Exelon has utilized. The one-year delay does not apply for use of the mortality tables to determine the present value of lump sum distributions.


The EMA requires CENG to fund the obligation related to pre-transfer service of employees, including the underfunded balance of the pension and other postretirement welfare benefit plans measured as of July 14, 2014 by making periodic payments to Generation. These payments will be made on an agreed payment schedule or upon the occurrence of certain specified events, such as EDF’s disposition of a majority of its interest in CENG. However, in the event that EDF exercises its rights under the Put Option, all payments not made as of the put closing date shall accelerate to be paid immediately prior to such closing date. See Note 2 — Variable Interest Entities of the Combined Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information regarding the investment in CENG.
Tax Matters
The Registrants’ future cash flows from operating activities may be affected by the following tax matters:
Pursuant to the TCJA, beginning in 2018 Generation is expected to have higher operating cash flows in the range of approximately $1.2 billion to $1.6 billion for the period from 2018 to 2021, reflecting the reduction in the corporate federal income tax rate and full expensing of capital investments.
The TCJA is generally expected to result in lower operating cash flows for the Utility Registrants as a result of the elimination of bonus depreciation and lower customer rates. Increased operating cash flows for the Utility Registrants from lower corporate federal income tax rates is expected to be more than offset over time by lower customer rates resulting from lower income tax expense recoveries and the settlement of deferred income tax net regulatory liabilities established pursuant to the TCJA, partially offset by the impacts of higher rate base. The amount and timing of settlement of the net regulatory liabilities will be determined by the Utility Registrants’ respective rate regulators, subject to certain IRS “normalization” rules. The table below sets forth the Registrants’ estimated categorization of their net regulatory liabilities as of December 31, 2017. The amounts in the table below are shown on an after-tax basis reflecting future net cash outflows after taking into consideration the income tax benefits associated with the ultimate settlement with customers.
 Exelon ComEd 
PECO(a)
 BGE PHI PEPCO DPL ACE
Subject to IRS Normalization Rules$3,040 $1,400 $533 $459 $648 $299 $195 $153
Subject to Rate Regulator Determination1,694 573 43 324 754 391 194 170
Net Regulatory Liabilities$4,734 $1,973 $576 $783 $1,402 $690 $389 $323
__________
(a)Given the regulatory treatment of income tax benefits related to electric and gas distribution repairs, PECO remains in an overall net regulatory asset position as of December 31, 2017 after recording the impacts related to the TCJA. As a result, the amount of customer benefits resulting from the TCJA subject to the discretion of PECO's rate regulators are lower relative to the other Utility Registrants. Refer to Note 3 - Regulatory Matters for additional information.
Net regulatory liability amounts subject to normalization rules generally may not be passed back to customers any faster than over the remaining useful lives of the underlying assets giving rise to the associated deferred income taxes. Such deferred income taxes generally relate to property, plant and equipment with remaining useful lives ranging from 30 to 40 years across the Utility Registrants. For the remaining amounts, rate regulators could require the passing back of amounts to customers over shorter time frames, which could materially decrease operating cash outflows at each of the Utility Registrants in the near term.
The Utility Registrants expect to fund any such required incremental operating cash outflows using a combination of third party debt financings and equity funding from Exelon in combinations generally consistent with existing capitalization ratio structures. To fund any


additional equity contributions to the Utility Registrants, Exelon would have available to it its typical sources, including, but not limited to, the increased operating cash flows at Generation referenced above, which over time are expected to exceed the incremental equity needs at the Utility Registrants.
The Utility Registrants continue to work with their state regulatory commissions to determine the amount and timing of the passing back of TCJA income tax savings benefits to customers; with filings either made, or expected to be made, at PECO, Pepco, DPL Delaware and ACE, and approved filings at ComEd, BGE and DPL Maryland. The amounts being passed back or proposed to be passed back to customers reflect the benefit of lower income tax expense beginning January 1, 2018 (February 1, 2018 for DPL Delaware), and the settlement of a portion of deferred income tax regulatory liabilities established upon enactment of the TCJA. Refer to Note 3 - Regulatory Matters of the Combined Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information on their filings.
In general, most states use federal taxable income as the starting point for computing state corporate income tax. Now that the TCJA has been enacted, state governments are beginning to analyze the impact of the TCJA on their state revenues. Exelon is uncertain regarding what the state governments will do, and there is a possibility that state corporate income taxes could change due to the enactment of the TCJA. In 2018, Exelon will be closely monitoring the states’ responses to the TCJA as these could have an impact on Exelon’s future cash flows.
See Note 12 — Income Taxes of the Combined Notes to Consolidated Financial Information for further information on the amounts of the net regulatory liabilities subject to determinations by rate regulators.
State and local governments continue to face increasing financial challenges, which may increase the risk of additional income tax, property taxes and other taxes or the imposition, extension or permanence of temporary tax increases.
Cash flows from operations for the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017 by Registrant were as follows:

Changes in the Registrants'cash flows from operations were generally consistent with changes in each Registrant’s respective results of operations, as adjusted by changes in working capital in the


normal course of business, except as discussed below. In addition, significant operating cash flow impacts for the Registrants for the three months ended March 31, 20182019 and 20172018 were as follows:
Generation
See Note 17 — Supplemental Financial Information of the Combined Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements and the Registrants’ Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows for additional information on non-cash operating activity.
Depending upon whether Generation is in a net mark-to-market liability or asset position, collateral may be required to be posted with or collected from its counterparties. In addition, the collateral posting and collection requirements differ depending on whether the transactions are on an exchange or in the OTC markets. During the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, Generation had net payments of counterparty cash collateral of $214 million and $102 million, respectively, primarily due to market conditions that resulted in changes to Generation’s net mark-to-market position.
During the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, Generation had net payments of approximately $27 million and $6 million, respectively, related to purchases and sales of options. The level of option activity in a given period may vary due to several factors, including changes in market conditions as well as changes in hedging strategy.
ComEd
During each of the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, ComEd posted approximately $8 million of cash collateral with PJM, respectively.  As of March 31, 2018 and 2017, ComEd had approximately $59 million and $32 million cash collateral posted with PJM, respectively. ComEd’s total collateral posted with PJM has increased year over year primarily due to an increase in ComEd’s RPM credit requirements and peak market activity with PJM.

(d)Includes PHISCO rounded to the nearest $25 million.
Projected capital expenditures and other investments are subject to periodic review and revision to reflect changes in economic conditions and other factors.
Generation
Approximately 39% and 11% of the projected 2018 capital expenditures at Generation are for the acquisition of nuclear fuel, and the construction of new natural gas plant and solar facilities, respectively,


with the remaining amounts reflecting investment in renewable energy and additions and upgrades to existing facilities (including material condition improvements during nuclear refueling outages). Generation anticipates that they will fund capital expenditures with internally generated funds and borrowings.
ComEd, PECO, BGE, Pepco, DPL and ACE
Projected 2018 capital expenditures at the Utility Registrants are for continuing projects to maintain and improve operations, including enhancing reliability and adding capacity to the transmission and distribution systems such as ComEd’s reliability related investments required under EIMA, and the Utility Registrants' construction commitments under PJM’s RTEP.
The Utility Registrants as transmission owners are subject to NERC compliance requirements. NERC provides guidance to transmission owners regarding assessments of transmission lines. The results of these assessments could require the Utility Registrants to incur incremental capital or operating and maintenance expenditures to ensure their transmission lines meet NERC standards. In 2010, NERC provided guidance to transmission owners that recommended the Utility Registrants perform assessments of their transmission lines. ComEd, PECO and BGE submitted their final bi-annual reports to NERC in January 2014. ComEd and PECO will be incurring incremental capital expenditures associated with this guidance following the completion of the assessments. Specific projects and expenditures are identified as the assessments are completed. ComEd’s and PECO’s forecasted 2018 capital expenditures above reflect capital spending for remediation to be completed through 2019. BGE, Pepco, DPL and ACE have substantially completed their assessments and thus do not expect significant capital expenditures related to this guidance in 2018.
The Utility Registrants anticipate that they will fund their capital expenditures with a combination of internally generated funds and borrowings and additional capital contributions from parent.

Credit Matters
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 $9.5$9.8 billion in aggregate total commitments of which $8.0 billion was available as of March 31, 2018, 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 market during the first quarter of 20182019 to fund their short-term liquidity needs, when necessary. 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. ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS of the Exelon 20172018 Form 10-K for furtheradditional 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 March 31, 2018,2019, it would have been required to provide incremental collateral of $1.9 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 its currentthe $4.4 billion of available credit facility capacitiescapacity of $4.4 billion.

Exelon Credit Facilities
Exelon Corporate, ComEd, BGE, Pepco, DPL and ACE 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 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.

(d)Excludes $545 million bilateral credit facilities that do not back Generation’s commercial paper program.
As of March 31, 2018, there were no borrowings under Generation's bilateralRegistrants’ credit facilities.


Borrowings under Exelon Corporate’s, Generation’s, ComEd’s, PECO’s, BGE's, Pepco's, DPL's and ACE's revolving credit agreements bear interest at a rate based upon either the prime rate or a LIBOR-based rate, plus an adder based upon the particular Registrant’s credit rating. The adders for the prime based borrowings and LIBOR-based borrowings are presented in the following table:
 Exelon Corporate Generation ComEd PECO BGE Pepco DPL ACE
Prime based borrowings27.5 27.5 7.5 0.0 0.0 7.5

 107.5
The maximum adders for prime rate borrowings and LIBOR-based rate borrowings are 90 basis points and 165 basis points, respectively. The credit agreements also require the borrower to pay a facility fee based upon the aggregate commitments. The fee varies depending upon the respective credit ratings of the borrower.
Each revolving credit agreement for Exelon Corporate, Generation, ComEd, PECO, BGE, Pepco, DPL and ACE requires the affected borrower to maintain a minimum cash from operations to interest expense ratio for the twelve-month period ended on the last day of any quarter. The following table summarizes the minimum thresholds reflected in the credit agreements for the three months ended March 31, 2018:

An event of default under Exelon, Generation, ComEd, PECO or BGE's indebtedness will not constitute an event of default under any of the others’ credit facilities, except that a bankruptcy or other event of default in the payment of principal, premium or indebtedness in principal amount in excess of $100 million in the aggregate by Generation will constitute an event of default under the Exelon Corporate credit facility. An event of default under Pepco, DPL or ACE's indebtedness will not constitute an event of default with respect to the other PHI Utilities under the PHI Utilities' combined credit facility.
The absence of a material adverse change in Exelon's or PHI’s business, property, results of operations or financial condition is not a condition to the availability of credit under any of the borrowers' credit agreement. None of the credit agreements include any rating triggers.
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 10 — Derivative Financial Instruments of the Combined Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information on collateral provisions.
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 March 31, 2018,2019, are presented in the following table:

Investments in Nuclear Decommissioning Trust Funds
Exelon, Generation and CENG maintain trust funds, as required by the NRC, to fund certain costs of decommissioning nuclear plants. The mix of securities in the trust funds is designed to provide returns to be used to fund decommissioning and to offset inflationary increases in decommissioning costs. Generation actively monitors the investment performance of the trust funds and periodically reviews asset allocations in accordance with Generation’s NDT fund investment policy. Generation’s and CENG’s investment policies establish limits on the concentration of holdings in any one company and also in any one industry. See Note 13 —Nuclear Decommissioning of the Combined Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for further information regarding the trust funds, the NRC’s minimum funding requirements and related liquidity ramifications.

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 2322 — Commitments and Contingencies of the Combined Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the Exelon 20172018 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 for furtheradditional 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 20172018 Form 10-K.


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 20172018 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 20182019 through 2020.2021.
In general, increases and decreases in forward market prices have a positive and negative impact, respectively, on Generation’s owned and contracted generation positions which have not been hedged. Exelon's hedging program involves the hedging of commodity price risk for Exelon's expected generation, typically on a ratable basis over three-year periods. As of March 31, 2018,2019, the percentage of expected generation hedged is 91%-94%90%-93%, 63%-66%64%-67% and 33%-36%38%-41% for 2018, 2019, 2020 and 2020,2021, respectively. The percentage of expected generation hedged is the amount of equivalent sales divided by the expected generation. Expected generation is the volume of energy that best represents our commodity position in energy markets from owned or contracted generating facilitiesgeneration based upon a simulated dispatch model that makes assumptions regarding future market conditions, which are calibrated to market quotes for power, fuel, load following products and options. Equivalent sales represent all hedging products, which include economic hedges and certain non-derivative contracts including Generation’s sales to the ComEd, PECO and BGE to serve their retail load.
A portion of Generation’s hedging strategy may be accomplished with fuel products based on assumed correlations between power and fuel prices, which routinely change in the market. 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 March 31, 20182019 market conditions and hedged position would be ana decrease in pre-tax net income of approximatelyapproximate $44ly $25 million $336, $279 million and $608$551 million, resrespectively, for 2019pectively, for 2018, 2019, 2020 and 2020.2021. Power price sensitivities are derived by adjusting power price assumptions while keeping all other price inputs constant. Generation actively manages its portfolio


to mitigate market price risk exposure for its unhedged position. Actual results could differ depending on the specific timing of, and markets affected by, price changes, as well as future changes in Generation’s portfolio. See Note 10 — Derivative Financial Instruments of the Combined Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.
Proprietary Trading Activities
Proprietary trading portfolio activity for the three months ended March 31, 20182019 resulted in $6$4 million of pre-tax gains due to net mark-to-market gains of $2 million and realized gains of $4$2 million. Generation has not segregated proprietary trading activity within the following discussion because of the relative size of the proprietary trading

portfolio in comparison to Generation’s total Revenue net of purchasepurchased power and fuel expense. See Note 10 — Derivative Financial Instruments of the Combined Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.
Fuel Procurement
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. Supply market conditions may make Generation’s procurement contracts subject to credit risk related to the potential non-performance of counterparties to deliver the contracted commodity or service at the contracted prices. Approximately 58%62% of Generation’s uranium concentrate requirements from 20182019 through 20222023 are supplied by three producers. 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 results of operations, cash flows and financial positions.statements.
ComEd
ComEd entered into 20-year contracts for renewable energy and RECs beginning in June 2012. ComEd is permitted to recover its renewable energy and REC costs from retail customers with no mark-up. The annual commitments represent the maximum settlements with suppliers for renewable energy and RECs under the existing contract terms. Pursuant to the ICC’s Order on December 19, 2012, ComEd’s commitments under the existing long-term contracts were reduced for the June 2013 through May 2014 procurement period. In addition, the ICC’s December 18, 2013 Order approved the reduction of ComEd’s commitments under those contracts for the June 2014 through May 2015 procurement period, and the amount of the reduction was approved by the ICC in March 2014.
ComEd has block energy contracts to procure electric supply that are executed through a competitive procurement process, which is further discussed in Note 6 — Regulatory Matters of the Combined Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. The block energy contracts are considered derivatives and qualify for the normal purchases and normal sales scope exception under current derivative authoritative guidance, and as a result are accounted for on an accrual basis of accounting. ComEd does not enter into derivatives for speculative or proprietary trading purposes. For additional information on these contracts, see Note 10 — Derivative Financial Instruments of the Combined Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.
PECO, BGE, Pepco, DPL and ACE
PECO, BGE, Pepco, DPL and ACE have contracts to procure electric supply that are executed through a competitive procurement process, which are further discussed in Note 6 — Regulatory Matters of the Combined Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. BGE, Pepco, DPL and ACE have certain full requirements contracts, which are considered derivatives and qualify for the normal purchases and normal sales scope exception under current


derivative authoritative guidance, and as a result are accounted for on an accrual basis of accounting. Other full requirements contracts are not derivatives.
PECO, BGE and DPL have also executed derivative natural gas contracts, which either qualify for the normal purchases and normal sales exception or have no mark-to-market balances because the derivatives are index priced, to hedge their long-term price risk in the natural gas market. The hedging programs for natural gas procurement have no direct impact on their results of operations or financial position.statements.
PECO, BGE, Pepco, DPL and ACE do not enter intoexecute derivatives for speculative or proprietary trading purposes. For additional information on these contracts, see Note 10 — Derivative Financial Instruments of the Combined Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

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 9 — 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, Collateral and Contingent-Related Features (All Registrants)
The Registrants would be exposed to credit-related losses in the event of non-performance by counterparties that execute derivative instruments. The credit exposure of derivative contracts, before collateral, is represented by the

fair value of contracts at the reporting date. See Note 10 — Derivative Financial Instruments of the Combined Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for a detailed discussion of credit risk, collateral and contingent-relatedcontingent related features.
Generation
The following tables provide information on Generation’s credit exposure for all derivative instruments, normal purchases and normal sales agreements, and applicable payables and receivables, net of collateral and instruments that are subject to master netting agreements, as of March 31, 2018.2019. The tables further delineate that exposure by credit rating of the counterparties and provide guidance on the concentration of credit risk to individual counterparties and an indication of the duration of a company’s credit risk by credit rating of the counterparties. The figures in the tables below exclude credit risk exposure from individual retail customers, uranium procurement contracts, and exposure through RTOs, ISOs and commodity exchanges, which are discussed below. Additionally, the figures in the tables below exclude exposures with affiliates, including net receivables with ComEd, PECO, BGE, Pepco, DPL and ACE of $36 million, $31 million, $21$27 million,, $25 $37 million, $34 million, $9$5 million and $5$4 million as of March 31, 2018,2019, respectively.

The Utility Registrants
There have been no significant changes or additions to the Utility Registrants exposures to credit risk that are described in ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS of Exelon’s 20172018 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
See Note 10 — Derivative Financial Instruments of the Combined Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information regarding credit exposure to suppliers.
Collateral (All Registrants)
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 10 — Derivative Financial Instruments of the Combined Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information regarding collateral requirements. See Note 1716 — 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 results of operations, cash flows and financial positions.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 ITEM 2. Liquidity and Capital Resources — Credit Matters — Exelon Credit Facilities for additional information.
The Utility Registrants
As of March 31, 2018,2019, ComEd held approximately $9$11 million in collateral from suppliers in association with energy procurement contracts, approximately $14$31 million in collateral from suppliers for REC and ZEC contract obligations and approximately $19 million in collateral from suppliers for long-term renewable energy contracts. BGE is not required to post collateral under its electric supply contracts but was holding an immaterial amount of collateral under its electric supply procurement contracts. BGE was not required to post collateral under its natural gas procurement contracts but was holding an immaterial amount of collateral under its natural gas procurement contracts. PECO, Pepco and DPL were not required to post collateral under their energy and/or natural gas procurement contracts, but were holding an immaterial amount of collateral under their respective electric supply procurement contracts. PECO and ACE were not required to post collateral under their energy and/or natural gas procurement contracts. 
See Note 6 — Regulatory Matters and Note 10 — Derivative Financial Instruments of the Combined Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.
RTOs andand ISOs (All Registrants)
All Registrants participate in all, or some, of the established wholesale spot energy markets that are administered by PJM, ISO-NE, ISO-NY, CAISO, MISO, SPP, AESO, OIESO and ERCOT. ERCOT is not subject to regulation by FERC but performs a similar function in Texas to that performed by RTOs in markets regulated by FERC. In these areas, power is traded through bilateral agreements between buyers and sellers and on the spot energy markets that are administered by the RTOs or ISOs, as applicable. In areas where there areis no spot energy markets,market, electricity is purchased and sold solely through bilateral agreements. For sales into the spot energy markets administered by an RTO or ISO, the RTO or ISO maintains financial assurance policies that are established and enforced by those administrators. The credit policies of the RTOs and ISOs may, under certain circumstances, require that losses arising from the default of one member on spot energy market transactions be shared by the remaining participants.

Non-performance or non-payment by a major counterparty could result in a material adverse impact on the Registrants’ results of operations, cash flows and financial positions.statements.
Exchange Traded Transactions (Exelon, Generation, PHI and DPL)
Generation enters into commodity transactions on NYMEX, ICE, NASDAQ, NGX and the Nodal exchange ("the Exchanges"). DPL enters into commodity transactions on ICE. The Exchange clearinghouses act as the counterparty to each trade. Transactions on the Exchanges must adhere to comprehensive collateral and margining requirements. As a result, transactions on the Exchanges are significantly collateralized and have limited counterparty credit risk.
Interest Rate and Foreign Exchange Risk (All Registrants)
The Registrants use a combination of fixed-rate and variable-rate debt to manage interest rate exposure. The Registrants may also utilize fixed-to-floating interest rate swaps which are typically designated as fair value hedges, to manage their interest rate exposure. In addition, the Registrants may utilize interest rate derivatives to lock in rate levels, which are typically designated as cash flow hedges. These strategies are employed to manage interest rate risks. At March 31, 2018,2019, Exelon had $800 million of notional amounts of fixed-to-floating hedges outstanding and Exelon and Generation had $636$619 million of notional amounts of floating-to-fixed hedges outstanding. Assuming the fair value and interest rate hedges are 100% effective, aA hypothetical 50 basis point increase in the interest rates associated with unhedged variable-rate debt (excluding Commercial Paper) and fixed-to-floating swaps would result in approximately a $1 million decrease in Exelon Consolidated pre-tax income for the three


months ended March 31, 2018.2019. 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 10 — 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 March 31, 2018,2019, Generation’s decommissioning trustNDT funds are reflected at fair value onin 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 10% increase in interest rates and decrease in equity prices would result in a $652$587 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. See ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS for further discussionadditional information of equity price risk as a result of the current capital and credit market conditions.
Item 4.    Controls and Procedures
During the first quarter of 2018,2019, each of Exelon’s, Generation’s, ComEd’s, PECO’s, BGE’s, PHI's, Pepco's, DPL's and ACE's 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 disclosure controls and procedures have been designed by all 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 March 31, 2018,2019, the principal executive officer and principal financial officer of each of Exelon, Generation, ComEd, PECO, BGE, PHI, Pepco, DPL and ACE concluded that such Registrant’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective to accomplish its objectives. All 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.

Beginning January 1, 2018,2019, the Registrants adopted the Revenue from Contracts with CustomersLeases standard.  Although theAs a result of guidance had an immaterial impact onimplementation, the Registrants’ Consolidated Statements of OperationsOperating lease ROU assets are now included in Other deferred debits and Comprehensive Income, Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows,other assets and operating lease liabilities are included in Other current liabilities and Other deferred credits and other liabilities in the Consolidated Balance Sheets and Consolidated Statements of Changes in Shareholders' Equity, they did performSheets. The Registrants performed implementation controls, including contractlease reviews, to adopt the new standard, and implemented certain changes to their ongoing revenue recognitionlease processes and control activities, which included enhancements to contractlease review and valuation processes, new training, and gathering of information for disclosures.


With the exception of the above there, there have been no changes in internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the first quarter of 20182019 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, any of Exelon’s, Generation’s, ComEd’s, PECO’s, BGE’s, PHI’s, Pepco’s, DPL’s and ACE’s internal control over financial reporting.


PART II — OTHER INFORMATION

Item 5.    Other Information
Amendments to BGE, PECO and PHI Governing Documents
On May 1, 2019, BGE and PECO each adopted Amended and Restated Bylaws, and PHI entered into an Amended and Restated Limited Liability Company Agreement. The amendments are primarily intended to align certain administrative provisions, subject to differences required by each Company’s jurisdiction of incorporation or formation. The sole material change effected by BGE’s Amended and Restated Bylaws and PHI’s Amended and Restated Limited Liability Company Agreement is the implementation of a provision whereby effective following the annual election of Directors in 2020, each independent director of the respective company must retire from the Board of Directors at or before the next annual meeting of shareholders following the director’s 75th birthday. The provision further provides that the Board of Directors has full discretion to decline a tendered resignation if it determines, based on the recommendation of the Corporate Governance Committee of the Exelon Board of Directors, that it is in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders to extend the director's continued service for an additional period of time. In addition to the implementation of the same provision, PECO’s Amended and Restated Bylaws also implements a provision declassifying the PECO Board of Directors effective from and after the annual election of directors in 2019, provided that any PECO director who was elected prior to the 2019 annual meeting of shareholders for a term that extends until after the 2019 annual meeting of shareholders shall not be required to stand for election, and shall continue as a director until the annual meeting at which the director’s term expires or until his or her earlier death, resignation or removal.

This summary is qualified by reference to the complete text of the BGE and PECO Amended and Restated Bylaws, and the PHI Amended and Restated Limited Liability Company Agreement, attached as Exhibits 3.1, 3.2 and 3.3, respectively, to this Report.
Appointment of New ComEd Director
On April 26, 2019, the Board of Directors of ComEd appointed Mr. Juan Ochoa to the Board to fill a vacancy created by an expansion of the size of the Board. Mr. Ochoa is not being appointed to any committees and will receive the standard compensation paid by ComEd to its outside directors, as disclosed in ComEd’s most recent Information Statement in Schedule 14C.
