4 Q2 2015 Earnings Release Slides Forward Market Outlook Q2 2015 Lower Volatility and Lower Prices Forward Markets Reacted To Spot Prices Impacts on Forward Markets • While forward natural gas prices stayed relatively flat during the quarter, we saw a significant decrease in power prices and subsequently heat rates in 2016 and 2017 • The lack of liquidity in the forward power markets has exacerbated the drops in forward power prices and heat rates Spot Market Update • The spot power market in 2015 has been less volatile compared to 2014 • Spot market conditions are driving weaker prices: • Cooling degree days this summer have been below the 30-year average in Chicago and near normal on the East Coast • NYMEX gas prices averaged $2.72 in Q2 2015, while gas prices in Q2 2014 averaged $4.64, a $1.92 MMBtu difference year over year • TETCo M3 basis prices continue to stay weak with Q2 2015 averaging a $1.05 discount to NYMEX Cool weather in the Midwest has pressured power prices across the region. Our fundamental view is that gas and power prices will be stronger in the forward years. 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 PJMW_HR_2016 PJMW_HR_2017 PJMNiHub_HR_2016 PJMNiHub_HR_2017 Cooling Degree Days - Chicago 0 2 4 6 8 10 12 30-yr Average 2015 Week Number |

Expected generation assumes 14 refueling outages in 2015, 12 in 2016, and 15 in 2017 at Exelon-operated nuclear plants, and Salem. Expected generation assumes capacity factors of 93.3%, 94.1% and 93.4% in 2015 , 2016 and 2017 respectively at Exelon-operated nuclear plants, at ownership. These estimates of expected generation in 2016 and 2017 do not represent guidance or a forecast of future results as Exelon has not completed its planning or optimization processes for those years. (2) Excludes EDF’s equity ownership share of CENG Joint Venture. (3) Percent of expected generation hedged is the amount of equivalent sales divided by expected generation. Includes all hedging products, such as wholesale and retail sales of power, options and swaps. (4) Effective realized energy price is representative of an all-in hedged price, on a per MWh basis, at which expected generation has been hedged. It is developed by considering the energy revenues and costs associated with our hedges and by considering the fossil fuel that has been purchased to lock in margin. It excludes uranium costs and RPM capacity revenue, but includes the mark-to-market value of capacity contracted at prices other than RPM clearing prices including our load obligations. It can be compared with the reference prices used to calculate open gross margin in order to determine the mark-to-market value of Exelon Generation's energy hedges.

For 2015 and 2016, the actual allowed ROE reflected in net income will ultimately be based on the average of the 30-year Treasury Yield during the respective years plus 580 basis point spread, absent any metric penalties Requested Rate of Return ~ 7% for both the filing and reconciliation years $8,277 million–Filing year (represents projected year-end rate base using 2014 actual plus 2015 projected capital additions). 2015 and 2016 earnings will reflect 2015 and 2016 year-end rate base respectively. $7,082 million - Reconciliation year (represents year-end rate base for 2014) $54M decrease ($145M decrease due to the 2014 reconciliation offset by a $91M increase related to the filing year). The 2014 reconciliation impact on net income was recorded in 2014 as a regulatory asset. Timeline • 04/15/15 Filing Date • 240 Day Proceeding • ICC order expected to be issued by December 11, 2015 The 2015 distribution formula rate filing establishes the net revenue requirement used to set the rates that will take effect in January 2016 after the Illinois Commerce Commission's (ICC’s) review. There are two components to the annual distribution formula rate filing: • Filing Year: Based on prior year costs (2014) and current year (2015) projected plant additions. • Annual Reconciliation: For the prior calendar year (2014), this amount reconciles the revenue requirement reflected in rates during the prior year (2014) in effect to the actual costs for that year. The annual reconciliation impacts cash flow in the following year (2016) but the earnings impact has been recorded in the prior year (2014) as a regulatory asset.
