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 revenues increased for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026 as compared to the same periods in 2025, primarily due to higher rate base and higher fully recoverable costs.
ComEd
Transmission Revenue. Under a FERC-approved formula, transmission revenue varies from year to year based upon fluctuations in the underlying costs and capital investments being recovered. Transmission revenues increased for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026 compared to the same periods in 2025, primarily due to higher rate base and higher fully recoverable costs.
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 revenues increased for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026 as compared to the same periods in 2025, primarily due to higher fully recoverable costs.
Other Revenue primarily includes assistance provided to other utilities through mutual assistance programs. Other revenues increased for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026 as compared to the same periods in 2025, which primarily reflects increased mutual assistance revenues associated with storm restoration efforts.
Regulatory Required Programs represent revenues collected under approved riders to recover costs incurred for regulatory programs. 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 Purchased power expense, Operating and maintenance expense, Depreciation and amortization expense, and Taxes other than income taxes. One of our larger regulatory required programs is our customer choice program where 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. For customers that choose to purchase electric generation from competitive suppliers, this is treated as a pass through for ComEd and therefore, financial results are not impacted if customers purchase electricity supply from these alternative suppliers. For customers that choose to purchase electric generation from ComEd, ComEd is permitted to recover costs from customers.

Three Months Ended September 30, 2026 Compared to Three Months Ended September 30, 2025. Net Income decreased by $85 million due to higher storm costs, tax repairs, some of which is timing, contracting, depreciation, and interest expense. The higher storm costs reflect the absence of extraordinary February and June storm cost deferrals recognized in the third quarter of 2025 and increased storm costs in the third quarter of 2026. These unfavorable impacts were partially offset by higher revenues, primarily due to the absence of surcharge credits to customers and favorable weather.
Nine Months Ended September 30, 2026 Compared to Nine Months Ended September 30, 2025. Net income decreased by $90 million due to higher storm costs, tax repairs, some of which is timing, contracting, depreciation, interest, and severance costs related to the cost management program. The higher storm costs reflect the absence of extraordinary storm cost deferrals recognized in the third quarter of 2025, partially offset by lower storm costs in 2026. These unfavorable impacts were partially offset by higher revenues, primarily due to the absence of surcharge credits to customers and favorable weather.

PECO
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 and nine months ended September 30, 2026, compared to the same period in 2025, 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 three and nine months ended September 30, 2026, compared to the same period in 2025, and normal weather consisted of the following:

Revenue Decoupling. The demand for electricity and natural gas is affected by weather and customer usage. However, Operating revenues are not impacted by abnormal weather or usage per customer as a result of a monthly rate adjustment that provides for fixed distribution revenue per customer by customer class. While Operating revenues are not impacted by abnormal weather or usage per customer, they are impacted by changes in the number of customers.

For customers that choose to purchase electric generation or natural gas from competitive suppliers, this is treated as a pass through for BGE and therefore, financial results are not impacted if customers purchase electricity or natural gas supply from these alternative suppliers. For customers that choose to purchase electric generation or natural gas from BGE, BGE is permitted to recover costs from customers.
See Note 4 — Segment Information of the Combined Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for the presentation of BGE's revenue disaggregation.
The increase of $82 million and $418 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026, compared to the same period in 2025, in Purchased power and fuel expense is fully offset in Operating revenues as part of regulatory required programs.

Revenue Decoupling. The demand for electricity is affected by weather and customer usage. However, Operating revenues from electric distribution in both Maryland and the District of Columbia are not intended to be impacted by abnormal weather or usage per customer as a result of a BSA that provides for a fixed distribution charge per customer class in the District of Columbia and per customer by customer class in Maryland. Therefore, changes in the number of customers only impacts Operating revenues in Maryland.

Revenue Decoupling. The demand for electricity is affected by weather and customer usage. However, Operating revenues from electric distribution in Maryland are not impacted by abnormal weather or usage per customer as a result of a BSA that provides for a fixed distribution charge per customer by customer class. While Operating revenues from electric distribution customers in Maryland are not intended to be impacted by abnormal weather or usage per customer, they are impacted by changes in the number of customers.
Weather. The demand for electricity and natural gas in Delaware 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
DPL
weather conditions result in increased deliveries of electricity and natural gas. Conversely, mild weather reduces demand. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026 compared to the same period in 2025, Operating revenues related to weather increased due to favorable weather conditions in DPL's Delaware electric and natural gas service territories.
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 DPL's Delaware electric service territory and a 30-year period in DPL's Delaware natural gas service territory. The changes in heating and cooling degree days in DPL's Delaware service territory for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026, compared to same periods in 2025 and normal weather consisted of the following:

Revenue Decoupling. The demand for electricity is affected by weather and customer usage. However, Operating revenues from electric distribution in New Jersey are not intended to be impacted by abnormal weather or usage per customer as a result of the CIP which compares current distribution revenues by customer class to approved target revenues established in ACE’s most recent distribution base rate case. The CIP is calculated annually, and recovery is subject to certain conditions, including an earnings test and ceilings on customer rate increases. While Operating revenues are not impacted by abnormal weather or usage per customer, they are impacted by changes in the number of customers.

Distribution Revenue increased for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026 compared to the same periods in 2025 due to approved distribution rates that became effective in December 2025 as well as an increase in customer growth.
Transmission Revenues Under a FERC-approved formula, transmission revenue varies from year to year based upon fluctuations in the underlying costs and capital investments being recovered. Transmission revenue increased for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026 compared to the same periods in 2025 primarily due to increases in underlying costs and capital investment.
Other Revenue includes rental revenue, revenue related to late payment charges, mutual assistance revenues, and recoveries of other taxes.
Regulatory Required Programs represent revenues collected under approved riders to recover costs incurred for regulatory programs. The riders are designed to provide full and current cost recovery as well as a return in certain instances. One of our larger regulatory required programs is our customer choice program where customers have the choice to purchase electricity from competitive electric generation suppliers. Customer choice programs do not impact the volume of deliveries as ACE remains the distribution service provider for all customers and charges a regulated rate for distribution service. For customers that choose to purchase electric generation from competitive suppliers, this is treated as a pass through for ACE and therefore, financial results are not impacted if customers purchase electricity supply from these alternative suppliers. For customers that choose to purchase electric generation from ACE, ACE is permitted to recover costs from customers.
