Some of the statements contained in today’s presentation with respect to Pepco Holdings, Pepco, Delmarva Power and Atlantic City Electric, and each of their respective
subsidiaries, are forward-looking statements within the meaning of the U.S. federal securities laws and are subject to the safe harbor created thereby and by the Private
Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These statements include declarations regarding each reporting company’s intents, beliefs and current expectations. You can
generally identify forward-looking statements by terminology such as “may,” “might,” “will,” “should,” “could,” “expects,” “intends,” “assumes,” “seeks to,” “plans,” “anticipates,”
“believes,” “projects,” “estimates,” “predicts,” “potential,” “future,” “goal,” “objective,” or “continue”, the negative or other variations of such terms, or comparable terminology, or
by discussions of strategy that involve risks and uncertainties. Forward-looking statements involve estimates, assumptions, known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other
factors that may cause one or more reporting company’s actual results, levels of activity, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, levels
of activity, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Therefore, forward-looking statements are not guarantees or assurances of
future performance, and actual results could differ materially from those indicated by the forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements are qualified in their
entirety by, and should be read together with, the risk factors included in the “Risk Factors” section of each reporting company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended
December 31, 2011 (as amended) and other SEC filings, and investors should refer to this risk factor section. The forward-looking statements contained herein are also
qualified in their entirety by reference to, and should be read together with, the following important factors, which are difficult to predict, contain uncertainties, are beyond each
reporting company’s control and may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in forward-looking statements: changes in governmental policies and
regulatory actions affecting the energy industry, including allowed rates of return, industry and rate structure, acquisition and disposal of assets and facilities, operation and
construction of transmission and distribution facilities, and the recovery of purchased power expenses; the outcome of pending and future rate cases, including the possible
disallowance of costs and expenses; the expenditures necessary to comply with regulatory requirements, including regulatory orders, and to implement reliability enhancement,
emergency response and customer service improvement programs; possible fines, penalties or other sanctions assessed by regulatory authorities against Pepco Holdings’
regulated utilities; weather conditions affecting usage and emergency restoration costs; population growth rates and changes in demographic patterns; changes in customer
energy demand due to conservation measures and the use of more energy-efficient products; general economic conditions, including the impact of an economic downturn or
recession on energy usage; changes in and compliance with environmental and safety laws and policies; changes in tax rates or policies or in rates of inflation; changes in
accounting standards or practices; changes in project costs; unanticipated changes in operating expenses and capital expenditures; the ability to obtain funding in the capital
markets on favorable terms; rules and regulations imposed by, and decisions of, Federal and/or state regulatory commissions, PJM, the North American Electric Reliability
Corporation and other applicable electric reliability organizations; legal and administrative proceedings (whether civil or criminal) and settlements that influence each reporting
company’s business and profitability; pace of entry into new markets; volatility in customer demand for electricity and natural gas; interest rate fluctuations and the impact of
credit and capital market conditions on the ability of a reporting company to obtain funding on favorable terms; and effects of geopolitical events, including the threat of
domestic terrorism or cyber attacks. Any forward-looking statements speak only as to the date of this presentation and each reporting company undertakes no obligation to
update any forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date on which such statements are made or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated
events. New factors emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for a reporting company to predict all such factors, nor can any reporting company assess the impact of any
such factor on such reporting company’s business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause results to differ materially from those contained in any
forward-looking statement. The foregoing factors should not be construed as exhaustive.
PHI discloses net income from continuing operations and related per share data (both as historical information and earnings guidance) excluding certain items (non-GAAP
financial information) because management believes that these items are not representative of PHI’s ongoing business operations. Management uses this information, and
believes that such information is useful to investors, in evaluating PHI’s period-over-period performance. The inclusion of this disclosure is intended to complement, and should
not be considered as an alternative to, PHI’s reported net income from continuing operations and related per share data in accordance with accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States (GAAP).
