Constellation Energy Group Releases
Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2003 Results
Financial Results Exceed Company Forecasts
BALTIMORE - - Jan. 30, 2004 - Constellation Energy Group (NYSE: CEG) today reported 2003 earnings per share of $2.76 excluding special items, up 9.5 percent from 2002 earnings per share excluding special items. Including the implementation of new accounting standards and special items of ($1.10) per share, reported earnings per share were $1.66. A detailed addendum of special items is attached. These results exceed the company’s earnings guidance excluding special items of $2.63 - $2.73 per share provided in October 2003. Excluding $0.12 per share of expenses associated with Hurricane Isabel, Constellation earned $2.88 per share. This result compares favorably to the consensus forecast of equity analysts of $2.78 per share, in which the majority of contributing analysts excluded Hurricane Isabel expenses as non-recurring.
For the fourth quarter, Constellation earned $113.1 million, equivalent to $0.67 per share excluding special items, which compares to earnings per share excluding special items of $0.41 in the fourth quarter of 2002. Including special items primarily associated with gains on the sale of non-core assets of $5.9 million after-tax, or $0.04 per share, the company reported net income of $119.0 million, or $0.71 per share for the fourth quarter of 2003 compared to $0.39 in the fourth quarter of 2002.
“Our performance in 2003 is the strongest affirmation yet that the Constellation Energy business model is, in fact, positioned for success in an evolving energy market,” said Mayo A. Shattuck III, chairman, president and chief executive officer. “Through the right mix of intellectual capital, technology, market understanding and disciplined risk management, Constellation Energy is delivering strong financial and operating results. We’ve assembled a company that is the leader in wholesale and commercial and industrial competitive supply with almost $10 billion in revenues. This is a direct result of the customer-centric focus which drives our efforts in all of our operations. We’re bullish on our future and fully expect to deliver strong results in 2004 as we continue to strengthen our position and extend our leadership in competitive energy markets.”

Merchant
The merchant energy business reported earnings per share of $0.52 in the fourth quarter of 2003, compared to $0.22 per share excluding special items in the fourth quarter of 2002. Earnings increased compared to the same quarter last year primarily due to the realization of wholesale contracts originated in prior periods and realized in the fourth quarter, partially offset by lower mark-to-market origination. Improved operational performance at Nine Mile Point Nuclear Station, the addition of earnings from our High Desert facility and favorable market conditions also drove higher merchant earnings.

“Our wholesale competitive supply business created substantial 2003 earnings growth for the company while continuing to grow the backlog of transactions to be recognized in the future,” said Shattuck. “In its first full year under Constellation ownership, our commercial and industrial competitive supply business, NewEnergy, far exceeded our expectations, extending its market reach and leadership to serve more than 8,000 peak megawatts and 53 of the Fortune 100 companies. Collectively, in wholesale and retail markets, we have built the largest competitive supply business in North America.”
“The acquisition of the R.E. Ginna Nuclear Station, which we announced in late 2003 and expect to close in mid-2004 will be a terrific addition to our generation fleet,” said Shattuck, adding, “one that will allow us to better leverage our nuclear expertise. The acquisition of this plant will add nearly 500 megawatts of safe, reliable base load power to our generation fleet.”
Baltimore Gas and Electric
Baltimore Gas and Electric Company’s regulated electric and gas businesses reported earnings per share of $0.17 in the fourth quarter of 2003 in line with guidance but down compared to $0.22 per share excluding special items in the fourth quarter of 2002. The utility’s earnings declined primarily due to normal weather during the quarter relative to colder than normal 2002 weather in its Central Maryland service territory.
Shattuck said, “Notably, in 2003, BGE demonstrated crisp execution and operational excellence during its response to Hurricane Isabel. For its efforts, BGE was recognized with the Edison Electric Institute’s prestigious “Emergency Response of the Year” award.”
Other Non-regulated Businesses
Excluding special items, Constellation Energy Group’s other non-regulated businesses reported a loss of ($0.02) per share compared with a loss of ($0.03) per share in the fourth quarter of 2002.

Earnings Excluding Special Items and Hurricane Isabel Restoration Expense
Constellation Energy presents earnings excluding special items in addition to its reported earnings per share in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (reported GAAP EPS). Earnings excluding special items is a non-GAAP financial measure that differs from reported GAAP EPS because it excludes the cumulative effects of changes in accounting principles and other special items (which we define as items that are not related to our ongoing, underlying business or which distort comparability of results) included in operations. We present earnings excluding special items because we believe that it is appropriate for investors to consider results excluding these items in addition to our results in accordance with GAAP. We believe such a measure provides a picture of our results that is comparable among periods since it excludes the impact of items such as gains or losses on sales of non-core investments and workforce reduction costs, which may recur occasionally, but tend to be irregular as to timing, thereby distorting comparisons between periods. This non-GAAP measure is also used to evaluate management’s performance and for compensation purposes. At Dec. 31, 2003, Constellation also provided a measure of earnings which adjusted its reported GAAP EPS to eliminate the cost of Hurricane Isabel related transmission and distribution service restoration, based on its magnitude and distortive impact on earnings comparisons between periods. However, investors should note that these non-GAAP measures involve judgments by management (in particular, judgments as to what is or is not classified as a special item).
Constellation Energy also provides its earnings guidance in terms of earnings excluding special items. Constellation Energy is unable to reconcile its 2003 earnings guidance excluding special items to GAAP earnings per share because we do not predict the future impact of special items due to the difficulty of doing so. The impact of special items could be material to our operating results computed in accordance with GAAP.

Cumulative Effects of Changes in Accounting Principles – net pre-tax charge of ($317.9) million, or ($1.19) per share in 2003
In 2003, Constellation Energy recognized a net charge to earnings of ($1.19) per share from the cumulative effects of changes in accounting principles. This consisted of a ($430.0) million pre-tax charge to earnings or ($1.60) per share relating to the Jan. 1, 2003 implementation of Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) consensus on Issue 02-3, Issues Involved in Accounting for Derivative Contracts Held for Trading Purposes and Contracts Involved in Energy Trading and Risk Management Activities, and a $112.1 million pre-tax gain or $0.41 per share relating to the Jan. 1, 2003 implementation of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 143, Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations.
Net Gains on Sales of Investments and Other Assets – $26.2 million pre-tax or $0.10 per share for the calendar year and $9.6 million pre-tax or $0.04 per share for the fourth quarter
In the fourth quarter of 2001, we announced our decision to focus efforts and capital on core domestic energy businesses and undertook a plan to sell a number of non-core businesses and investments. In 2003, we recognized approximately $26.2 million in pre-tax gains relating to the monetization of several non-core assets including:
6
• A $13.1 million total pre-tax gain on sales of certain real estate in 2003, with $10.1 million of this in the fourth quarter;
• A $7.2 million pre-tax gain on the sale of an oil tanker to the U. S. Navy;
• A $5.3 million pre-tax gain on the favorable settlement of a contingent obligation we had previously reserved relating to the sale of our Guatemalan power plant operation in the fourth quarter of 2001; and
• A $0.6 million net pre-tax gain on the sale of financial investments, which included a ($0.5) million pre-tax loss in the fourth quarter.
Workforce Reduction Costs – ($2.1) million pre-tax or ($0.01) per share
In 2003, we incurred ($2.1) million in expense associated with deferred payments to employees eligible for the 2001 Voluntary Special Early Retirement Programs.
Impairment Losses and Other Costs – ($0.6) million pre-tax or ($0.00) per share
In the fourth quarter of 2003, we incurred a ($0.6) million impairment relating to the decline in value of our investment in an airplane that we subsequently sold in January 2004.
