Results of Operations—ComEd

Year Ended December 31, 2025 Compared to Year Ended December 31, 2024. Net income increased by $81 million primarily due to higher distribution and transmission rate base driven by incremental investments to serve customers, higher return on regulatory assets due to an increase in asset balances, and higher AFUDC, partially offset by lower transmission peak load.

Revenue Decoupling. The demand for electricity is affected by weather and customer usage. Operating revenues are not intended to be impacted by abnormal weather, usage per customer, or number of customers as a result of revenue decoupling mechanisms.

Distribution Revenue. Starting in 2024, distribution revenues are under a MRP. The MRP requires an annual reconciliation of the revenue requirement in effect to the actual costs the ICC determines are prudently and reasonably incurred. Electric distribution revenue varies from year to year based upon fluctuations in the underlying costs, (e.g., severe weather and storm restoration), investments being recovered, and allowed ROE. Electric distribution revenue increased during the year ended December 31, 2025, compared to the same period in 2024, primarily due to higher fully recoverable costs, higher rate base, and higher return on regulatory assets.

ComEd

Transmission Revenue. Under a FERC-approved formula, transmission revenue varies from year to year based upon fluctuations in the underlying costs, capital investments being recov ered, and the highest daily peak load, which is updated annually in January based on the prior calendar year. Transmission revenue for the year ended December 31, 2025, compared to the same period in 2024, remained relatively consistent.

Energy Efficiency Revenue. Energy efficiency revenues are under a performance-based formula rate, which requires an annual reconciliation of the revenue requirement in effect to the actual costs the ICC determines are prudently and reasonably incurred in a given year. Energy efficiency revenue varies from year to year based upon fluctuations in the underlying costs, investments being recovered, and allowed ROE. Energy efficiency revenue increased during the year ended December 31, 2025, compared to the same period in 2024, primarily due to increased regulatory asset amortization, which is fully recoverable.

Other Revenue primarily includes assistance provided to other utili ties through mutual assistance programs. Other revenue decreased for the year ended December 31, 2025, compared to the same period in 2024, which primarily reflects decreased mutual assistance revenues associated with storm restoration efforts.

Regulatory Required Programs represents revenues collected under approved riders to recover costs incurred for regulatory programs such as recoveries under the credit loss expense tariff, environmental costs associated with MGP sites, ETAC, and costs related to electricity, ZEC, CMC, and REC procurement. ETAC is a retail customer surcharge collected and remitted to an Illinois state agency for programs to support clean energy jobs and training. The riders are designed to provide full and current cost recovery. The costs of these programs are included in Purchased power expense, Operating and maintenance expense, Depreciation and amortization expense, and Taxes other than income taxes. Customers have the choice to purchase electricity from competitive electric generation suppliers. Customer choice programs do not impact the volume of deliveries as ComEd remains the distribution service provider for all customers and charges a regulated rate for distribution service, which is recorded in Operating revenues. For customers that choose to purchase electric generation from competitive suppliers, ComEd either acts as the billing agent or the competitive supplier separately bills its own customers, and therefore does not record Operating revenues or Purchased power expense related to the electricity. For customers that choose to purchase electric generation from ComEd, ComEd is permitted to recover the electricity, ZEC, CMC, and REC procurement costs without mark-up and therefore records equal and offsetting amounts in Operating revenues and Purchased power expense related to the electricity, ZECs, CMCs, and RECs.

See Note 4 — Segment Information of the Combined Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for the presentation of ComEd's revenue disaggregation.

The $1,260 million decrease in Purchased power expense for the year ended December 31, 2025 compared to the same period in 2024, which includes the impacts of CMC nuclear production tax credits, is offset in Operating revenues as part of regulatory required programs. See Note 2 —Regulatory Matters for additional information.

Results of Operations—PECO

Year Ended December 31, 2025 Compared to Year Ended December 31, 2024. Net income increased by $263 million due to an increase in revenue as a result of electric and gas distribution rates, favorable weather relative to the same period last year, and tax repairs related to storms, partially offset by an increase in contracting, depreciation and interest expense.

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. For the year ended December 31, 2025, compared to the same period in 2024, Operating revenues related to weather increased due to favorable weather conditions in PECO's service territory.

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 year ended December 31, 2025, compared to the same period in 2024, and normal weather consisted of the following:
