Basis of Presentation
Description of Business
We are a producer of clean energy and a supplier of energy products and services. Our generating capacity includes primarily nuclear, wind, solar, natural gas and hydroelectric assets. Through our integrated business operations, we sell electricity, natural gas, and other energy-related products and sustainable solutions to various types of customers, including distribution utilities, municipalities, cooperatives, and commercial, industrial, governmental, and residential customers in markets across multiple geographic regions. We have
five
reportable segments: Mid-Atlantic, Midwest, New York, ERCOT and Other Power Regions.
Basis of Presentation
On February 21, 2021, the board of directors of Exelon authorized management to pursue a plan to separate its competitive generation and customer-facing energy businesses (separation), conducted through Constellation Energy Generation, LLC (“Constellation”, formerly Exelon Generation Company, LLC) and its subsidiaries, into an independent, publicly-traded company. CEG Parent, a direct, wholly owned subsidiary of Exelon, was newly formed for the purpose of consummating the separation and had not engaged in any business activities nor had any assets or liabilities prior to the separation. On February 1, 2022, the separation was completed and CEG Parent holds all the interests in Constellation previously held by Exelon.
As an individual registrant, Constellation has historically filed consolidated financial statements to reflect its financial position and operating results as a stand-alone, wholly owned subsidiary of Exelon. The accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements as of September 30, 2023 and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022 are unaudited but, in our opinion include all adjustments that are considered necessary for a fair statement of the financial statements in accordance with GAAP. All adjustments are of a normal, recurring nature, except as otherwise disclosed. The Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of our subsidiaries and all intercompany transactions have been eliminated. CEG Parent's prior period financial statements have been adjusted to reflect the balances of Constellation in accordance with applicable guidance. Constellation's December 31, 2022 Consolidated Balance Sheet was derived from audited financial statements. The interim financial statements are to be read in conjunction with prior annual financial statements and notes. Financial results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for any other interim period or for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2023. These Combined Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC for Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q. Certain information and note disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. Amounts disclosed relate to CEG Parent and Constellation unless specifically noted as relating to CEG Parent only. Unless otherwise indicated or the context otherwise requires, references herein to the terms “we,” “us,” and “our” refer collectively to CEG Parent and Constellation.
Separation from Exelon
On February 1, 2022, Exelon completed the separation through a pro-rata distribution of all of the outstanding shares of CEG Parent's common stock, no par value, on the basis of one such share for every three shares of Exelon common stock held on January 20, 2022, the record date of the distribution. CEG Parent is an independent, publicly traded company listed on the Nasdaq Stock Market under the symbol “CEG”, and regular-way trading began on February 2, 2022. Exelon no longer retains any ownership interest in CEG Parent or Constellation.
Prior to completion of the separation, our financial statements include certain transactions with affiliates of Exelon, which are disclosed as related party transactions. After February 1, 2022, all transactions with Exelon or its affiliates are no longer related party transactions.

Table of Contents
Combined Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
(Dollars in millions, unless otherwise noted)
Note 1 — Basis of Presentation
In order to govern the ongoing relationships with Exelon after the separation, and to facilitate an orderly transition, we entered into several agreements with Exelon, including a Separation Agreement, TSA, EMA, and TMA.
Pursuant to the Separation Agreement, we received a cash contribution of $
1.75
billion from Exelon on January 31, 2022, the proceeds of which were used to settle $
258
million of an intercompany loan from Exelon and $
200
million of short-term debt outstanding prior to separation, in addition to a $
192
million contribution to our pension plans. We also entered into two new
five-year
facility agreements providing $
4.5
billion of capacity.
The amounts Exelon billed us for services pursuant to the TSA were $
33
million and $
68
million for the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, and were $
127
million and $
193
million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The amounts we billed Exelon for services pursuant to the TSA were $
4
million and $
12
million for the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, and were $
13
million and $
32
million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively.
See Note 1 — Basis of Presentation of our 2022 Form 10-K for additional information on the separation from Exelon.
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
See Note 1 — Basis of Presentation of our 2022 Form 10-K for additional information on significant accounting policies.

Mergers, Acquisitions, and Dispositions
Acquisition of Joint Ownership in South Texas Project
On November 1, 2023 we acquired NRG South Texas LP, which owns a
44
% undivided ownership interest in the jointly owned South Texas Project Nuclear Generating Station (STP), a
2,645
-megawatt, dual-unit nuclear plant located in Bay City, Texas, for a cash purchase price of $
1.75
billion. On September 29, 2023, we issued senior notes for net proceeds of approximately $
1.4
billion. The net proceeds from the offerings and cash on hand was used to fund the consideration, fees, and expenses related to the acquisition. The current renewed NRC licenses for the STP units expire in 2047/2048 and the NRC licensed operator is STP Nuclear Operating Company (STPNOC), acting on behalf of the joint owners. Other owners include City Public Service Board of San Antonio (CPS,
40
%) and the City of Austin, Texas (Austin Energy,
16
%). This acquisition is complementary to and aligned strategically with our existing clean energy business operations.
The transaction will be accounted for as a business combination and we will record the fair value of our proportionate share of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the acquisition date. To the extent that the purchase price is greater than the fair value of the net assets acquired, goodwill will be recorded. To the extent the fair value of the net assets acquired is greater than the purchase price, a bargain purchase gain will be recorded. Certain disclosures have been omitted given the initial accounting for the acquisition was not complete at the time these consolidated financial statements were issued. Disclosures related to the acquisition date fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, among other relevant disclosures, will be made in our 2023 Form 10-K.
As part of the transaction, we acquired ownership of two decommissioning trust funds established to provide funding for decontamination and decommissioning of STP. The trust funds have been funded with amounts collected from predecessor utilities. We expect to maintain these funds and the ability to collect additional funds if needed in the future from ratepayers and any excess of funds upon completion of decommissioning are required to be returned to ratepayers. As such, our accounting for the future decommissioning of our interest in STP will mirror that of our existing Regulatory Agreement Units. Refer to Note 1 — Basis of Presentation and Note 10 – Asset Retirement Obligations of our 2022 Form 10-K for additional information on our accounting policy for Regulatory Agreement Units.
On July 28, 2023 NRG accepted service of a lawsuit filed by the City of San Antonio, Texas, acting by and through CPS, in the 130th District Court of Matagorda County, Texas against NRG and certain of its subsidiaries, claiming the existence of a right of first refusal that applies to the transaction contemplated between us and NRG. On July 31, 2023 we intervened in the lawsuit and Austin Energy also intervened in the lawsuit claiming a similar
19
Table of Contents
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
(Dollars in millions, unless otherwise noted)
Note 2 — Mergers, Acquisitions, and Dispositions
right of first refusal. Per the terms of the Equity Purchase Agreement, NRG made representations that no right of first refusal applied to the transaction contemplated between us.
The ongoing legal proceeding did not prohibit NRG and CEG from consummating the transaction, and Constellation is working with all parties to reach a resolution to the matter. We cannot reasonably predict the outcome of this lawsuit, however, we do not expect it to have a material impact to our consolidated financial statements.

As discussed in Note 3 — Regulatory Matters of our 2022 Form 10-K, we are involved in various regulatory and legislative proceedings. The following discusses developments in 2023 and updates to the 2022 Form 10-K.
PJM Performance Bonuses
On December 23, 2022, and continuing through the morning of December 25, 2022, winter storm Elliott blanketed the entirety of PJM’s footprint with record low temperatures and extreme weather conditions. A significant portion of PJM's fossil generation fleet failed to perform as reserves were called. In accordance with PJM's tariff, funds collected from non-performance charges are redistributed as bonuses to generating resources that overperformed during the event, including our nuclear fleet. Our estimated receivable for performance bonuses (net of non-performance charges) requires the application of significant judgement and assumptions that include potential impacts of generator defaults and litigation. 15 complaints have been filed at FERC by underperforming generators alleging, among other things, that PJM’s tariff is unjust and unreasonable, and that PJM violated its tariff or otherwise acted negligently in operating the system during that period and seeking to reduce or eliminate any penalty. We are actively engaged in these proceedings. On June 5, 2023, FERC established settlement judge procedures to assist the parties to these proceedings in reaching a satisfactory resolution of the issues raised. On September 1, 2023, the FERC settlement judge issued a final status report stating that the majority of participants indicated that they reached a settlement in principle. On September 29, 2023, the proposed settlement was filed with FERC. Over 80 parties are signatories to the settlement, but the settlement is contested by one net bonus payment recipient. The settling parties have requested FERC approval by December 29, 2023.
We cannot reasonably predict the timing or nature of a FERC decision on the settlement, nor the outcome of the complaint proceedings if FERC rejects the settlement; however, it is reasonably possible that the ultimate impact to our consolidated financial statements could differ materially once these uncertainties are resolved.
New England Regulatory Matters
Mystic Units 8 and 9 Cost of Service Agreement.
The Mystic Cost of Service Agreement (Mystic COS) requires an annual process whereby we identify and support our projected costs under the agreement and/or true-up previous projections to the actual costs incurred. The first annual process resulted in a filing at FERC on September 15, 2021 and included our projection of capital expenditures to be recovered under the Mystic COS between June 1, 2022 and December 31, 2022. On April 28, 2022, FERC issued an order setting for settlement and/or hearing the issue of whether our projected 2022 capital expenditures can be recovered. On February 6, 2023, we reached a settlement in principle with certain parties to the proceeding, and an offer of settlement was filed at FERC on March 15, 2023. On August 1, 2023, FERC approved the settlement without modification. The settlement reduces the recovery we receive for capital projects over the term of the Mystic COS. The settlement also eliminates the possibility that we would need to refund certain costs recovered under the COS Agreement for the EMT facility if the EMT facility continues operating post-Cost-of-Service (EMT Clawback Issue), thus resolving an issue remanded to FERC by the D.C. Circuit in the August 2022 decision. The approval of this offer of settlement does not have a material financial statement impact. On September 15, 2022, we made our second annual filing at FERC, which included (1) our projection of capital expenditures to be recovered under the Mystic COS between January 1, 2023 and December 31, 2023, and (2) an updated projection of the Annual Fixed Revenue Requirement, the Maximum Monthly Fixed Cost Payment, and the Fixed Operating and Maintenance/Return on Investment component of the Monthly Fuel Cost Charge, including an update to rate base for the period between January 1, 2018 and December 31, 2021. That filing is currently pending at FERC. On September 15, 2023, we made our third annual filing at FERC, which included (1) our projection of capital expenditures to be recovered under the Mystic COS between January 1, 2024 and May 31, 2024, and (2) a “true-up” of previous projections for actual costs incurred in 2022. No formal challenges to the third annual filing have been filed. The true-up did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

Note 3 — Regulatory Matters
On March 28, 2023, FERC issued an order on remand from the D.C. Circuit’s August 2022 decision (FERC Remand Order). The D.C. Circuit’s August 2022 decision remanded back to FERC certain issues related to the Mystic COS. The FERC Remand Order affirmed that
91
% of EMT’s fixed costs will be recovered via the Mystic COS, subject to the reinstatement of a margin sharing mechanism on forward sales of vapor. It also granted our motion to hold in abeyance the EMT Clawback Issue, as that matter was resolved by the settlement agreement filed at FERC in March 2023. No party sought rehearing of the FERC Remand Order's holding regarding our recovery of
91
% of EMT's costs. We sought rehearing of other aspects of that March 2023 order pertaining to the scope of items subject to challenge in the true-up proceedings. On October 6, 2023, FERC granted our rehearing requests.
Operating License Renewals
Conowingo Hydroelectric Project (Conowingo).
On December 20, 2022, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit issued a decision vacating FERC’s decision to grant Conowingo its 50-year license renewal and sending the matter back to FERC for further proceedings. Upon issuance of the mandate from the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit, we began operating under an annual license, which renews automatically, containing the same terms as the license that was in effect prior to the March 19, 2021 FERC order.
We and MDE previously filed with FERC a Joint Offer of Settlement (Offer of Settlement) that would resolve all outstanding issues relating to the water quality certification pursuant to Section 401 of the Clean Water Act (401 Certification) for Conowingo. On June 1, 2023, MDE informed us that as a result of the U.S. Court of Appeals decision, they would be resuming their administrative reconsideration of the 401 Certification. On August 1, 2023, in response to the procedure outlined by the MDE, supplemental briefs on the 401 Certification were filed by the Lower Susquehanna Riverkeeper Association and Waterkeepers Chesapeake (jointly) and us.
We are unable to further predict the outcome of these proceedings at this time.

Revenue from Contracts with Customers
We recognize revenue from contracts with customers to depict the transfer of goods or services to customers at an amount that we expect to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services. Our primary sources of revenue include competitive sales of power, natural gas, and other energy-related products and sustainable solutions.
See Note 4 — Revenue from Contracts with Customers of our 2022 Form 10-K for additional information regarding the primary sources of revenue.
Contract Balances
Contract Assets
We record contract assets for the revenue recognized on the construction and installation of energy efficiency assets and new power generating facilities before we have an unconditional right to bill for and receive the consideration from the customer. These contract assets are subsequently reclassified to receivables when the right to payment becomes unconditional. We record contract assets and contract receivables in Other current assets and Customer accounts receivable, net, respectively, in the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Contract Liabilities
We record contract liabilities when consideration is received or due prior to the satisfaction of the performance obligations. We record contract liabilities in Other current liabilities and Other deferred credits and other liabilities in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. These contract liabilities primarily relate to upfront consideration received or due for equipment service plans, the Mystic COS, and the Illinois ZEC program. The Mystic COS includes upfront consideration received or due that differs from the recognized earnings over the cost of the service period. The Illinois ZEC program introduces an annual cap on the total consideration to be received by us for each delivery period. The ZEC price is established on a per MWh of production basis with a maximum annual cap for total compensation to be received for each planning year, while requiring delivery of all ZECs produced by our participating facilities during each delivery period. ZECs delivered to Illinois utilities in excess of the annual cost cap may be paid in subsequent years if the payments do not exceed the prescribed annual cost cap for that year. As of September 30, 2023, there were no outstanding contract liabilities included in Other current liabilities and Other deferred credits and other liabilities in the Consolidated Balance Sheets for the Illinois ZEC program.

Our Clinton and Quad Cities units contract with certain utilities in Illinois which requires delivery of all ZECs produced during each planning year (June 1 to May 31), with total compensation limited by an annual cap for each planning year designed to limit the cost of ZECs to each utility's customers. ZECs delivered that, if paid, would result in the annual cap being exceeded may be paid in subsequent years at the vintage year price as long

Note 4 — Revenue from Contracts with Customers
as the payments would not exceed the annual cap in the year paid. In each planning year since the program commenced on June 1, 2017, we delivered ZECs to the utilities in excess of the annual compensation cap.
The ZEC price and annual compensation cap effective for each planning year are administratively determined by the IPA. For the June 1, 2023 to May 31, 2024 planning year the ZEC price has been established at $0.30 per ZEC, subject to an annual cap of $224 million. ZECs generated and delivered during this planning year will not exceed the annual cap, providing capacity to compensate for ZECs delivered in prior planning years in excess of the compensation cap. During the second quarter of 2023, we recognized $
218
million of revenue as a receivable for ZECs delivered in prior planning years, with payment expected in the third quarter of 2024. As of September 30, 2023, this receivable is included within Customer accounts receivable, net in the Consolidated Balance Sheets.
Revenue Disaggregation
We disaggregate the revenue recognized from contracts with customers into categories that depict how the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows are affected by economic factors. See Note 5 — Segment Information for the presentation of revenue disaggregation.
5.
Segment Information
Operating segments are determined based on information used by the CODM in deciding how to evaluate performance and allocate resources. We have
five
reportable segments consisting of the Mid-Atlantic, Midwest, New York, ERCOT, and all other power regions referred to collectively as “Other Power Regions.”
The basis for our reportable segments is the integrated management of our electricity business that is located in different geographic regions, and largely representative of the footprints of ISO/RTO and/or NERC regions, which utilize multiple supply sources to provide electricity through various distribution channels (wholesale and retail). Our hedging strategies and risk metrics are also aligned to these same geographic regions. Descriptions of each of our
five
reportable segments are as follows:
•
Mid-Atlantic
represents operations in the eastern half of PJM, which includes New Jersey, Maryland, Virginia, West Virginia, Delaware, the District of Columbia, and parts of Pennsylvania and North Carolina.
•
Midwest
represents operations in the western half of PJM and the United States footprint of MISO, excluding MISO’s Southern Region.
•
New York
represents operations within NYISO.
•
ERCOT
represents operations within Electric Reliability Council of Texas that covers a majority of the state of Texas.
•
Other Power Regions:
•
New England
represents operations within ISO-NE.
•
South
represents operations in FRCC, MISO’s Southern Region, and the remaining portions of SERC not included within MISO or PJM.
•
West
represents operations in WECC, which includes CAISO.
•
Canada
represents operations across the entire country of Canada and includes AESO, OIESO, and the Canadian portion of MISO.
The CODM evaluates the performance of our electric business activities and allocates resources based on Operating revenues net of Purchased power and fuel expense (RNF). We believe this is a useful measurement of operational performance, although it is not a presentation defined under GAAP and may not be comparable to other companies’ presentations of similarly titled measures or deemed more useful than the GAAP information provided elsewhere in these financial statements. Our operating revenues include all sales to third parties and affiliate sales to Exelon's utility subsidiaries prior to the separation. Purchased power costs include all costs associated with the procurement and supply of electricity including capacity, energy, and ancillary services. Fuel expense includes the fuel costs for our owned generation and fuel costs associated with tolling agreements. The

Note 5 — Segment Information
results of our other business activities are not regularly reviewed by the CODM and are therefore not classified as operating segments or included in the regional reportable segment amounts. These activities include wholesale and retail sales of natural gas, as well as other miscellaneous business activities that are not significant to our overall results of operations. Further, our unrealized mark-to-market gains and losses on economic hedging activities and our amortization of certain intangible assets and liabilities relating to commodity contracts recorded at fair value from mergers and acquisitions are also excluded from the regional reportable segment amounts. The CODM does not use a measure of total assets in making decisions regarding allocating resources to or assessing the performance of these reportable segments.
The following tables disaggregate the revenue recognized from contracts with customers into categories that depict how the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows are affected by economic factors. The disaggregation of revenues reflects our two primary products of power sales and natural gas sales, with further disaggregation of power sales provided by geographic region.
The following tables also show the reconciliation of reportable segment revenues and RNF to our total revenues and RNF for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022.

Accounts Receivable
Unbilled Customer Revenue
We recorded $
213
million and $
564
million of unbilled customer revenues in Customer accounts receivables, net in the Consolidated Balance Sheets as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively.
Sales of Customer Accounts Receivable
On April 8, 2020, NER, a bankruptcy remote, special purpose entity, which is wholly owned by us, entered into a revolving accounts receivable financing arrangement with a number of financial institutions and a commercial paper conduit (Purchasers) to sell certain customer accounts receivable (Facility). On August 16, 2022, we entered into an amendment on the Facility, which increased the maximum funding limit of the Facility from $
900
million to $
1.1
billion and extended the term of the Facility through August 15, 2025, unless renewed by the mutual consent of the parties in accordance with its terms. Under the Facility, NER may sell eligible short-term customer accounts receivable to the Purchasers in exchange for cash and subordinated interest. The transfers are reported as sales of receivables in the consolidated financial statements. The subordinated interest in collections upon the receivables sold to the Purchasers is referred to as the DPP, which is reflected in Other current assets in the Consolidated Balance Sheets.
The Facility requires the balance of eligible receivables to be maintained at or above the balance of cash proceeds received from the Purchasers. To the extent the eligible receivables decrease below such balance, we are required to repay cash to the Purchasers. When eligible receivables exceed cash proceeds, we have the ability to increase the cash received up to the maximum funding limit. These cash inflows and outflows impact the DPP.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, the net
$
677
million increase
in the ARO for the changes in the amounts and timing of estimated decommissioning cash flows was driven by multiple adjustments, including the following:
•
An increase of approximately $
720
million due to an increase in cost escalation rates, partially offset by an increase in discount rates
•
Net increase of approximately $
470
million due to updated cost assumptions for dry cask storage across the fleet and revised cost studies for Dresden, Limerick and Peach Bottom
•
Net decrease of approximately $
520
million due to changes in assumed retirement dates for Ginna and NMP Unit 1
The 2023 ARO update resulted in a
decrease of $
68
million in Operating and maintenance expense for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 in the Consolidated Statement of Operations and Comprehensive Income. The 2022 ARO updates resulted in a decrease of $
226
million in Operating and maintenance expense for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 in the Consolidated Statement of Operations and Comprehensive Income.
Ginna and NMP Unit 1 Retirement Assumptions
In the third quarter of 2023, we extended our retirement assumptions for Ginna and NMP Unit 1; while the current ZEC program in New York ends in 2029, the state has acknowledged our nuclear assets are vital to achieving its clean energy goals and we believe New York will continue to promote policies that support nuclear in the state beyond 2029.
NDT Funds
We had NDT funds totaling $
14,573

NRC Minimum Funding Requirements
NRC regulations require that licensees of nuclear generating facilities demonstrate reasonable assurance that funds will be available in specified minimum amounts for radiological decommissioning of the facility at the end of its life.
We filed our biennial decommissioning funding status report with the NRC on March 23, 2023 for all units, including our shutdown units, except for Zion Station which is included in a separate report to the NRC submitted by ZionSolutions, LLC. The status report demonstrated adequate decommissioning funding assurance as of December 31, 2022 for all units except for Peach Bottom Unit 1. As a former PECO plant, financial assurance for decommissioning Peach Bottom Unit 1 is provided by the NDT fund, collections from PECO customers, and the ability to adjust those collections in accordance with the approved PAPUC tariff. See Note 10 — Asset Retirement Obligations
of our 2022 Form 10-K for information regarding the amount collected from PECO customers for decommissioning costs.
Impact of Separation from Exelon
Satisfying a condition precedent, on December 16, 2021, the NYPSC authorized our separation from Exelon and accepted the terms of a Joint Proposal that became binding upon closing of the separation on February 1, 2022. As part of the Joint Proposal, among other items, we have projected completion of radiological decommissioning and site restoration activities necessary to achieve a partial site release from the NRC (release of the site for unrestricted use, except for any on-site dry cask storage) within 20 years from the end of licensed life for each of our Ginna and FitzPatrick units and from the end of licensed life for the last of the NMP operating units. While there is flexibility under the Joint Proposal, there was an increase to the AROs associated with our New York nuclear plants during the first quarter of 2022.
The Joint Proposal also required a contribution of $
15
million to the NDT for NMP Unit 2 in January 2022 and requires various financial assurance mechanisms through the duration of decommissioning and site restoration, including a minimum NDT balance for each unit, adjusted for specific stages of decommissioning, and a parent guaranty for site restoration costs updated annually as site restoration progresses, which must be replaced with a third-party surety bond or equivalent financial instrument in the event we fall below investment grade.

Other Tax Matters
Tax Matters Agreement
In connection with the separation, we entered into a TMA with Exelon. The TMA governs the respective rights, responsibilities, and obligations between us and Exelon after the separation with respect to tax liabilities and benefits, tax attributes, tax returns, tax contests and other tax sharing regarding U.S. federal, state, local and foreign income taxes, other tax matters and related tax returns.
Responsibility and Indemnification for Taxes
.
As a former subsidiary of Exelon, we have joint and several liability with Exelon to the IRS and certain state jurisdictions relating to federal and state tax filings we were included in prior to the separation.
The TMA specifies the portion of this tax liability for which we bear contractual responsibility. Specifically, we are liable for our share of certain taxes required to be paid by Exelon with respect to taxable years or periods (or portions thereof) ending on or prior to the separation to the extent that we would have been responsible for such taxes under the Exelon tax sharing agreement then existing. As of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, our Consolidated Balance Sheets reflect a payable of
$
35
million
31
Table of Contents
Combined Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
(Dollars in millions, unless otherwise noted)
Note 8 — Income Taxes
and $
32
million, respectively, for tax liabilities where we maintain contractual responsibility to Exelon, with $
15
million and $
18
million in Other accounts receivable, respectively, and $
50
million in Noncurrent other liabilities.
Tax Refunds and Attributes
.
The TMA provides for the allocation of certain pre-closing tax attributes between us and Exelon, along with our share of refunds for taxes claimed by Exelon for periods prior to separation. Upon separation, certain attributes that were generated by our business were allocated to Exelon, and under the TMA, Exelon will reimburse Constellation when those attributes are utilized.
As of September 30, 2023
, our Consolidated Balance Sheet reflects receivables of $
307
million and $
222
million in Other accounts receivable and Other deferred debits and other assets, respectively. As of December 31, 2022
,
our Consolidated Balance Sheet reflected receivables of
$
168
million
and
$
362
million in Other accounts receivable and Other deferred debits and other assets, respectively.
9.
Retirement Benefits
Defined Benefit Pension and OPEB
During the first quarter of 2023, we received an updated valuation of our pension and OPEB obligations to reflect actual census data as of January 1, 2023. This valuation resulted in increases to the pension and OPEB obligations totaling $
48
million and $
21
million, respectively, with an offset to accumulated other comprehensive loss of $
53
million (after-tax). The key assumptions used in the updated valuation of our pension and OPEB obligations, such as discount rate and expected long-term rate of return on plan assets, were unchanged from those used as of December 31, 2022.
Components of Net Periodic Benefit Costs (Credits)
We report the service cost and other non-service cost (credit) components of net periodic benefit costs (credits) for all plans separately in our Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income. Effective February 1, 2022, the service cost component is included in Operating and maintenance expense and Property, plant, and equipment, net (where criteria for capitalization of direct labor has been met) while the non-service cost (credit) components are included in Other, net, in accordance with single employer plan accounting.
Prior to separation, we were allocated our portion of pension and OPEB service and non-service costs (credits) from Exelon, which was included in Operating and maintenance expense. Our portion of the total net periodic benefit costs allocated to us from Exelon in 2022 prior to separation was not material and remains in total Operating and maintenance expense.

Note 10 — Derivative Financial Instruments
10.
Derivative Financial Instruments
We use derivative instruments to manage commodity price risk, interest rate risk, and foreign exchange risk related to ongoing business operations.
Authoritative guidance requires that derivative instruments be recognized as either assets or liabilities at fair value, with changes in fair value of the derivative recognized in earnings immediately. Other accounting treatments are available through special election and designation, provided they meet specific, restrictive criteria both at the time of designation and on an ongoing basis. These alternative permissible accounting treatments include NPNS, cash flow hedges, and fair value hedges. All derivative economic hedges related to commodities, referred to as economic hedges, are recorded at fair value through earnings. For all NPNS derivative instruments, accounts receivable or accounts payable are recorded when derivatives settle and revenue or expense is recognized in earnings as the underlying physical commodity is sold or delivered.
Authoritative guidance about offsetting assets and liabilities requires the fair value of derivative instruments to be shown in the Combined Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements on a gross basis, even when the derivative instruments are subject to legally enforceable master netting agreements and qualify for net presentation in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. A master netting agreement is an agreement between two counterparties that may have derivative and non-derivative contracts with each other providing for the net settlement of all referenced contracts via one payment stream, which takes place as the contracts deliver, when collateral is requested or in the event of default. In the tables below, which present fair value balances, our energy-related economic hedges and proprietary trading derivatives are shown gross. The impact of the netting of fair value balances with the same counterparty that are subject to legally enforceable master netting agreements, as well as netting of cash collateral, including margin on exchange positions, is aggregated in the collateral and netting columns.
Our use of cash collateral is generally unrestricted unless we are downgraded below investment grade.
Commodity Price Risk
We employ established policies and procedures to manage our risks associated with market fluctuations in commodity prices by entering into physical and financial derivative contracts, including swaps, futures, forwards, options, and short-term and long-term commitments to purchase and sell energy and commodity products. We believe these instruments, which are either determined to be non-derivative or classified as economic hedges, mitigate exposure to fluctuations in commodity prices.
To the extent the amount of energy we produce or procure differs from the amount of energy we have contracted to sell, we are exposed to market fluctuations in the prices of electricity, natural gas, and other commodities. We use a variety of derivative and non-derivative instruments to manage the commodity price risk of our electric generation facilities, including power and gas sales, fuel and power purchases, natural gas transportation and pipeline capacity agreements, and other energy-related products marketed and purchased. To manage these risks, we may enter into fixed-price derivative or non-derivative contracts to hedge the variability in future cash flows from expected sales of power and gas and purchases of power and fuel. The objectives for executing such hedges include fixing the price for a portion of anticipated future electricity sales at a level that provides an acceptable return. We are also exposed to differences between the locational settlement prices of certain economic hedges and the hedged generating units. This price difference is actively managed through other instruments which include derivative congestion products, whose changes in fair value are recognized in earnings each period, and auction revenue rights, which are accounted for on an accrual basis.
Additionally, we are exposed to certain market risks through our proprietary trading activities. The proprietary trading activities are a complement to our energy marketing portfolio but represent a small portion of our overall energy marketing activities and are subject to limits established by our RMC.

In general, increases and decreases in forward market prices have a positive and negative impact, respectively, on owned and contracted generation positions that have not been hedged. For merchant revenues not already hedged via comprehensive state programs, such as the CMC in Illinois, historically we have used a three-year ratable sales plan to align our hedging strategy with our financial objectives. As a result, our prompt three-year merchant revenues have been hedged on an approximate rolling 90%/60%/30% basis. We may also enter into transactions that are outside of this ratable hedging program. As of September 30, 2023, the percentage of expected generation hedged for the Mid-Atlantic, Midwest, New York, and ERCOT reportable segments is
97
%-
100
% and
80
%-
83
% for 2023 and 2024, respectively. Going forward, we will continue to be proactive in managing our overall portfolio exposure to commodity risk, but will also manage our generation portfolio through the nuclear PTC, which, starting in 2024, provides downside commodity price protection for our nuclear units. Like our traditional hedging program, the nuclear PTC is an important tool in managing commodity risk.

Note 10 — Derivative Financial Instruments
Interest Rate and Foreign Exchange Risk
We utilize interest rate swaps to manage our interest rate exposure and foreign currency derivatives to manage foreign exchange rate exposure associated with international commodity purchases in currencies other than U.S. dollars, both of which are treated as economic hedges. The notional amounts were $
434
million and $
524
million as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively.
The following table provides the mark-to-market derivative assets and liabilities as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022:

_________
(a)
We net all available amounts in our Consolidated Balance Sheets in accordance with authoritative guidance for derivatives. These amounts include unrealized derivative transactions with the same counterparty under legally enforceable master netting agreements.
The mark-to-market gains and losses associated with management of interest rate and foreign currency exchange rate risk for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022 were not material.
Credit Risk
We would be exposed to credit-related losses in the event of non-performance by counterparties on executed derivative instruments. The credit exposure of derivative contracts, before collateral, is represented by the fair value of contracts as of the reporting date.
For commodity derivatives, we enter into enabling agreements that allow for payment netting with our counterparties, which reduces our exposure to counterparty risk by providing for the offset of amounts payable to the counterparty against amounts receivable from the counterparty. Typically, each enabling agreement is for a specific commodity and, with respect to each individual counterparty, netting is limited
to t
ransactions involving that specific commodity product, except where master netting agreements exist with a counterparty that allows for cross product netting. In addition to payment netting language in the enabling agreement, our credit department establishes credit limits, margining thresholds and collateral requirements for each counterparty, which are defined in the derivative contracts. Counterparty credit limits are based on an internal credit review process that considers a variety of factors, including the results of a scoring model, leverage, liquidity, profitability, credit ratings by credit rating agencies, and risk management capabilities. To the extent that a counterparty’s margining thresholds are exceeded, the counterparty is required to post collateral with us as specified in each enabling agreement. Our credit department monitors current and forward credit exposure to counterparties and their affiliates, both on an individual and an aggregate basis.
The following tables provide information on the credit exposure for all derivative instruments, NPNS and payables and receivables, net of collateral and instruments that are subject to master netting agreements, as of September 30, 2023. The tables further delineate that exposure by credit rating of the counterparties and provide guidance on the concentration of credit risk to individual counterparties. The amounts in the tables below exclude credit risk exposure from individual retail counterparties, nuclear fuel procurement contracts, and exposure through RTOs, ISOs, NYMEX, ICE, NASDAQ, NGX, and Nodal commodity exchanges.

Credit-Risk-Related Contingent Features
As part of the normal course of business, we routinely enter into physically or financially settled contracts for the purchase and sale of electric capacity, electricity, fuels, emissions allowances, and other energy-related products. Certain of our derivative instruments contain provisions that require us to post collateral. We also enter into commodity transactions on exchanges where the exchanges act as the counterparty to each trade. Transactions on the exchanges must adhere to comprehensive collateral and margining requirements. This collateral may be posted in the form of cash or credit support with thresholds contingent upon our credit rating from each of the major credit rating agencies. The collateral and credit support requirements vary by contract and by counterparty. These credit-risk-related contingent features stipulate that if we were to be downgraded or lose our investment grade credit rating (based on our senior unsecured debt rating), we would be required to provide additional collateral. This incremental collateral requirement allows for the offsetting of derivative instruments that are assets with the same counterparty, where the contractual right of offset exists under applicable master netting agreements. In the absence of expressly agreed-to provisions that specify the collateral that must be provided, collateral requested will be a function of the facts and circumstances of the situation at the time of the demand. In this case, we believe an amount of several months of future payments (i.e. capacity payments) rather than a calculation of fair value is the best estimate for the contingent collateral obligation, which has been factored into the disclosure below.
The aggregate fair value of all derivative instruments with credit-risk-related contingent features in a liability position that are not fully collateralized (excluding transactions on the exchanges that are fully collateralized) is detailed in the table below:

__________
(a)
The cash collateral and letters of credit amounts are inclusive of NPNS contracts.
(b)
Certain of our contracts contain provisions that allow a counterparty to request additional collateral when there has been a subjective determination that our credit quality has deteriorated, generally termed “adequate assurance”. Due to the subjective nature of these provisions, we estimate the amount of collateral that we may ultimately be required to post in relation to the maximum exposure with the counterparty.
(c)
The downgrade collateral is inclusive of all contracts in a liability position regardless of accounting treatment.
(d)
A loss of investment grade credit rating would require a significant reduction in credit ratings from their current levels of BBB and Baa2 at S&P and Moody's, respectively.
We entered into supply forward contracts with certain utilities with one-sided collateral postings only from us. If market prices fall below the benchmark price levels in these contracts, the utilities are not required to post collateral. However, when market prices rise above the benchmark price levels, counterparty suppliers, including us, are required to post collateral once certain unsecured credit limits are exceeded.

On January 20, 2023, a bilateral credit agreement initiated on August 24, 2022 decreased from $
100
million to $
10
million. On March 29, 2023, we initiated a new bilateral credit agreement for $
100
million, with a maturity date of March 29, 2025. On January 31, 2023, a bilateral credit agreement initiated on May 15, 2020 increased from $
200

(b)
The maximum amount of the bank commitment is not to exceed $
971
million. The aggregate available capacity of the facility is subject to market fluctuations based on the value of U.S. Treasury Securities which determines the amount of collateral held in the trust. We may post additional collateral to borrow up to the maximum bank commitment. As of September 30, 2023, without posting additional collateral, the actual availability of facility, prior to outstanding letters of credit was $
879
million.
Short-Term Loan Agreements

300
million. We repaid $
100
million of the term loan on March 29, 2022. The remaining $
200
million from the loan agreement was renewed on March 29, 2022 and repaid on March 29, 2023. Pursuant to the loan agreement, loans made thereunder bore interest at a variable rate equal to SOFR plus
0.80
% and all indebtedness thereunder was unsecured. The loan was reflected in Short-term borrowings in the Consolidated Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2022.
On January 26, 2023, we entered into a term loan agreement for $
100
million. The loan agreement has an expiration of January 25, 2024. Pursuant to the loan agreement, loans made thereunder bear interest at a variable rate equal to SOFR plus
0.80
% and all indebtedness thereunder is unsecured. The loan was reflected in Short-term borrowings in the Consolidated Balance Sheet as of September 30, 2023.
On February 9, 2023, we entered into a term loan agreement for $
400
million. The loan agreement has an expiration of February 8, 2024. Pursuant to the loan agreement, loans made thereunder bear interest at a variable rate equal to SOFR plus
1.05
% and all indebtedness thereunder is unsecured. The loan was reflected in Short-term borrowings in the Consolidated Balance Sheet as of September 30, 2023.

Fair Value of Financial Assets and Liabilities
We measure and classify fair value measurements in accordance with the hierarchy as defined by GAAP. The hierarchy prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three levels as follows:
40
Table of Contents
Combined Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
(Dollars in millions, unless otherwise noted)
Note 12 — Fair Value of Financial Assets and Liabilities
•
Level 1 — quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that we have the ability to liquidate as of the reporting date.
•
Level 2 — inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are directly observable for the asset or liability or indirectly observable through corroboration with observable market data.
•
Level 3 — unobservable inputs, such as internally developed pricing models or third-party valuations for the asset or liability due to little or no market activity for the asset or liability.
Fair Value of Financial Liabilities Recorded at Amortized Cost
The following table presents the carrying amounts and fair values of the short-term liabilities, long-term debt, and the SNF obligation as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022. We have no financial liabilities classified as Level 1.
The carrying amounts of the short-term liabilities as presented in the Consolidated Balance Sheets are representative of their fair value (Level 2) because of the short-term nature of these instruments.

Valuation Techniques Used to Determine Fair Value
Our valuation techniques used to measure the fair value of the assets and liabilities are in accordance with the policies discussed in Note 18 — Fair Value of Financial Assets and Liabilities of our 2022 Form 10-K.
Valuation Techniques Used to Determine Net Asset Value
Certain NDT Fund Investments are not classified within the fair value hierarchy and are included under the heading “Not subject to leveling” in the table below. These investments are measured at fair value using NAV per share as a practical expedient and include commingled funds, mutual funds which are not publicly quoted, managed private credit funds, private equity and real estate funds.
For commingled funds and mutual funds, which are not publicly quoted, the fair value is primarily derived from the quoted prices in active markets on the underlying securities and can typically be redeemed monthly with 30 or less days of notice and without further restrictions. For managed private credit funds, the fair value is determined using a combination of valuation models including cost models, market models, and income models and typically cannot be redeemed until maturity of the term loan. Private equity and real estate investments include those in limited partnerships that invest in operating companies and real estate holding companies that are not publicly traded on a stock exchange, such as, leveraged buyouts, growth capital, venture capital, distressed investments, investments in natural resources, and direct investments in pools of real estate properties. These investments typically cannot be redeemed and are generally liquidated over a period of 8 to 10 years from the initial investment date, which is based on our understanding of the investment funds. Private equity and real estate valuations are reported by the fund manager and are based on the valuation of the underlying investments, which include inputs such as cost, operating results, discounted future cash flows, market based comparable data, and independent appraisals from sources with professional qualifications. These valuation inputs are unobservable.
Recurring Fair Value Measurements
The following tables present assets and liabilities measured and recorded at fair value in the Consolidated Balance Sheets on a recurring basis and their level within the fair value hierarchy as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022:

(a)
CEG Parent has $
51
million and $
49
million of Level 1 cash equivalents as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. We exclude cash of $
1,877
million and $
390
million as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively, and restricted cash of $
49
million and $
70
million as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. CEG Parent does not exclude any additional cash as of September 30, 2023 and excludes $
19
million of cash as of December 31, 2022.
(b)
Includes $
116
million and $
99
million of cash received from outstanding repurchase agreements as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively, and is offset by an obligation to repay upon settlement of the agreement as discussed in (e) below.
(c)
Includes investments in equities sold short of ($
52
) million and ($
45
) million as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively, held in an investment vehicle primarily to hedge the equity option component of convertible debt.
(d)
Includes net derivative assets of $
1
million and net derivative liabilities of $
1
million, which have total notional amounts of $
580
million and $
494
million as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. The notional principal amounts for these instruments provide one measure of the transaction volume outstanding as of the periods ended and do not represent the amount of our exposure to credit or market loss.
(e)
Excludes net liabilities of $
92
million and $
168
million as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively, which include certain derivative assets that have notional amounts of $
154
million and $
59
million as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. These items consist of receivables related to pending securities sales, interest and dividend receivables, repurchase agreement obligations, and payables related to pending securities purchases. The repurchase agreements are generally short-term in nature with durations generally of 30 days or less.
(f)
Includes an equity investment that became publicly traded in the second quarter of 2023 and now has a readily determinable fair value (and no longer is accounted for as an equity method investment due to lack of significant influence). We recorded the fair value of this investment in Investments on the Consolidated Balance Sheets based on the quoted market price of the stock, which resulted in an unrealized gain of $
493
million within Other, net in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income for the nine months ended September 30, 2023.
(g)
Net collateral posted to counterparties totaled $
334
million, $
486
million, and $
316
million allocated to Level 1, Level 2, and Level 3 mark-to-market derivatives, respectively, as of September 30, 2023. Net collateral posted to counterparties totaled $
328

million allocated to Level 1, Level 2, and Level 3 mark-to-market derivatives, respectively, as of December 31, 2022.
(h)
Includes $
616
million of variation margin posted and $
836
million of variation margin held with the exchanges as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively.

(a)
The valuation techniques, unobservable inputs, ranges, and arithmetic averages are the same for the asset and liability positions.
(b)
The fair values do not include cash collateral posted on level 3 positions of $
316
million and $
218
million as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively.
The inputs listed above, which are as of the balance sheet date, would have a direct impact on the fair values of the above instruments if they were adjusted. The significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of our commodity derivatives are forward commodity prices and price volatility for options. Increases (decreases) in the forward commodity price in isolation would result in significantly higher (lower) fair values for long positions (contracts that give us the obligation or option to purchase a commodity), with offsetting impacts to short positions (contracts that give us the obligation or right to sell a commodity). Increases (decreases) in volatility would increase (decrease) the value for the holder of the option (writer of the option). Generally, a change in the estimate of forward commodity prices is unrelated to a change in the estimate of volatility of prices. An increase to the heat rate or renewable factors would increase the fair value accordingly. Generally, interrelationships exist between market prices of natural gas and power; i.e. an increase in natural gas pricing would have a similar impact on forward power markets. See Note 10 — Derivative Financial Instruments for additional information on mark-to-market derivatives.

Prior Merger Commitment.
Consistent with a 2012 MDPSC order approving a prior merger, certain commitments were made for the development of new generation in Maryland, 55 MW of which remains unsatisfied to date. In 2016, we terminated rights to a development project intended to satisfy the remaining commitment and recorded a pre-tax $
50
million loss contingency within Operating and maintenance expense in our Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income, representing the potential liquidated damages payment due for the shortfall, consistent with the terms of the original MDPSC order. In September 2022, a previously executed PPA with a third party became effective upon satisfaction of all conditions precedent (including an extension of time to complete the merger commitment from the MDPSC) and will result in the construction of a wind farm project with an expected commercial operation date of December 31, 2024. The satisfaction of the conditions precedent to the PPA, coupled with the milestones contained in the PPA to ensure the facility is constructed, demonstrate that the merger commitment is likely to be met through support of a PPA enabling the project to be constructed rather than a liquidated damages payment. As a result, we have reversed the previously recognized loss contingency and recorded a pre-tax gain of $
50
million within Operating and maintenance expense in our Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022.
Environmental Remediation Matters
General.
Our operations have in the past, and may in the future, require substantial expenditures to comply with environmental laws. Additionally, under Federal and state environmental laws, we are generally liable for the costs of remediating environmental contamination of property now or formerly owned by us and of property contaminated by hazardous substances generated by us. We own or lease several real estate parcels, including parcels on which our operations or the operations of others may have resulted in contamination by substances that are considered hazardous under environmental laws. In addition, we are currently involved in proceedings relating to sites where hazardous substances have been deposited and may be subject to additional proceedings in the future. Unless otherwise disclosed, we cannot reasonably estimate whether we will incur significant liabilities for additional investigation and remediation costs at these or additional sites identified by us, environmental agencies, or others. Additional costs could have a material, unfavorable impact on our financial statements.
We had accrued undiscounted amounts for environmental liabilities of $
137
million and $
119
million as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively, in Accrued expenses and Other deferred credits and other liabilities in the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Combined Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
(Dollars in millions, unless otherwise noted)
Note 13 — Commitments and Contingencies
Cotter Corporation.
The EPA has advised Cotter Corporation (N.S.L.) (Cotter), a former ComEd subsidiary, that it is potentially liable in connection with radiological contamination at two sites in Missouri. In 2000, ComEd sold Cotter to an unaffiliated third-party. As part of the sale, ComEd agreed to indemnify Cotter for any liability arising from these two Missouri superfund sites, West Lake Landfill and Latty Avenue. In connection with Exelon’s 2001 corporate restructuring, this responsibility to indemnify Cotter was transferred to us, and ultimately retained by us per the terms of our separation from Exelon. See Note 1 — Basis of Presentation for additional information on the separation and Note 19 - Commitments and Contingencies of our 2022 Form 10-K for additional information on the West Lake Landfill.
Latty Avenue and Vicinity Properties.
In August 2011, Cotter was notified by the DOJ that Cotter is considered a PRP with respect to the government’s clean-up costs for contamination attributable to low level radioactive residues at a former storage and reprocessing facility named Latty Avenue near St. Louis, Missouri.
Latty Avenue was investigated and remediated by the United States Army Corps of Engineers pursuant to funding under the Formerly Utilized Sites Remedial Action Program. On August 3, 2020, the DOJ advised Cotter that it is seeking approximately $
90
million from all the PRPs. In December 2021, a good faith offer was submitted to the government. After subsequent communications with DOJ, Cotter proposed, and DOJ agreed to consider mediation to facilitate a settlement. Pursuant to a series of agreements since 2011, the DOJ and Cotter have extended the Statute of Limitations through February 29, 2024. In April 2023, Cotter was informed by the DOJ about potential additional liability for all PRPs of approximately $
90
million associated with the Latty Avenue site as well as certain allegedly contaminated properties in the vicinity of Latty Avenue, for which the government claims that Cotter is a PRP.
We have determined that a loss associated with these claims are probable and have recorded an estimated liability, included in the total amount as discussed above, that reflects management's best estimate of Cotter's allocable share of the cost. It is reasonably possible that Cotter's allocable share could differ significantly, which could have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
Litigation and Regulatory Matters
Asbestos Personal Injury Claims.
We maintain a reserve for claims associated with asbestos-related personal injury actions at certain facilities that are currently owned by us or were previously owned by ComEd, PECO, or BGE. The estimated liabilities are recorded on an undiscounted basis and exclude the estimated legal costs associated with handling these matters, which could be material.
At September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, we recorded estimated liabilities of approximately $
103
million and $
95
million, respectively, in total for asbestos-related bodily injury claims. As of September 30, 2023, approximately $
27
million of this amount related to
247
open claims presented to us, while the remaining $
76
million is for estimated future asbestos-related bodily injury claims anticipated to arise through 2055, based on actuarial assumptions and analyses, which are updated on an annual basis. On a quarterly basis, we monitor actual experience against the number of forecasted claims to be received and expected claim payments and evaluate whether adjustments to the estimated liabilities are necessary.
Impacts of the February 2021 Extreme Cold Weather Event and Texas-based Generating Assets Outages.
Beginning on February 15, 2021, our Texas-based generating assets within the ERCOT market, specifically Colorado Bend II, Wolf Hollow II, and Handley, experienced outages as a result of extreme cold weather conditions. In addition, those weather conditions drove increased demand for service, dramatically increased wholesale power prices, and also increased gas prices in certain regions. See Note 3 — Regulatory Matters of our 2022 Form 10-K for additional information.
Various lawsuits have been filed against us since March 2021 related to these events, including:
•
On March 5, 2021, we, along with more than 150 power generators and transmission and distribution companies, were sued by approximately 160 individually named plaintiffs, purportedly on behalf of all Texans who allegedly suffered loss of life or sustained personal injury, property damage or other losses as a result of the weather events. The plaintiffs alleged that the defendants failed to properly prepare for the cold weather and failed to properly conduct their operations, seeking compensatory as well as punitive damages. Thereafter, numerous other plaintiffs filed multiple lawsuits against more than 300 defendants, including us, involving similar allegations of liability and claims of personal injury and property damage all arising out of the February weather events. These additional lawsuits allege

(Dollars in millions, unless otherwise noted)
Note 13 — Commitments and Contingencies
wrongful death, property damage, or other losses. Co-defendants in these lawsuits include ERCOT, transmission and distribution utilities and other generators.
•
On December 28, 2021, approximately 130 insurance companies which insured Texas homeowners and businesses filed a subrogation lawsuit against multiple defendants alleging that defendants were at fault for the energy failure that resulted from the winter storm, causing significant property damage to the insureds. Subsequently, several hundred other insurance companies filed similar claims. All of these cases were combined in a Multi-District-Litigation (MDL) pending in Texas state court, which established a bellwether process to consider initial motions to dismiss by the different industry groups of defendants. Defendants filed motions to dismiss the amended complaints in five bellwether cases in July 2022. On February 3, 2023, the court granted the motions to dismiss pertaining to us in part and denied them in part, leaving the plaintiffs' negligence and nuisance claims to proceed. As a result, we remain a defendant in the lawsuits, although we, along with the other generators, have sought relief from the court of appeals in Texas. Since the motions to dismiss were partially denied, thousands of new claimants, many in multiple mass tort actions, have filed lawsuits in various Texas state courts naming us, among hundreds of other defendants. The majority of these cases have been transferred to the MDL, and the expectation is the remainder will be transferred. The MDL now involves over 200 cases brought by approximately 30,000 plaintiffs, including more than 1,300 insurance companies, and we are defendants in the majority of them. We also are named in an alleged class action that seeks to assert claims on behalf of over 4.1 million Texans within ERCOT who lost power during Winter Storm Uri.
We dispute liability and deny that we are responsible for any of plaintiffs’ alleged claims and are vigorously contesting them. No loss contingencies have been reflected in the consolidated financial statements with respect to these matters, nor can we currently estimate a range of loss. It is reasonably possible, however, that resolution of these matters could have a material, unfavorable impact on our consolidated financial statements.
General.
We are involved in various other litigation matters that are being defended and handled in the ordinary course of business. The assessment of whether a loss is probable or reasonably possible, and whether the loss or a range of loss is estimable, often involves a series of complex judgments about future events. We maintain accruals for such losses that are probable of being incurred and subject to reasonable estimation. Management is sometimes unable to estimate an amount or range of reasonably possible loss, particularly where (1) the damages sought are indeterminate, (2) the proceedings are in the early stages, or (3) the matters involve novel or unsettled legal theories. In such cases, there is considerable uncertainty regarding the timing or ultimate resolution of such matters, including a possible eventual loss.
14.
Shareholders' Equity
Share Repurchase Program (CEG Parent)
On February 16, 2023, as part of our capital allocation plan, our Board of Directors announced a share repurchase program with a $
1
billion authority without expiration. Share repurchases may be made through a variety of methods, which may include open market or privately negotiated transactions, provided that the amounts spent do not exceed what is authorized. Any repurchased shares are constructively retired and cancelled. The program does not obligate us to acquire a minimum number of shares during any period and our repurchase of CEG's common stock may be limited, suspended, or discounted at any time at our discretion and without prior notice. Repurchases under this program commenced in March 2023.
During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, we repurchased from the open market
2.3
million and
8.5
million shares of our common stock for a total cost, inclusive of taxes and transaction costs, of $
253
million and $
756
million, respectively. As of September 30, 2023, there was $
244
million of remaining authority to repurchase shares. No other repurchase plans or programs have been authorized by our Board of Directors.

Variable Interest Entities
At September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, we consolidated several VIEs or VIE groups for which we are the primary beneficiary (see
Consolidated VIEs
below) and had significant interests in several other VIEs for which we do not have the power to direct the entities’ activities and, accordingly, we were not the primary beneficiary (see
Unconsolidated VIEs
below). Consolidated and unconsolidated VIEs are aggregated to the extent that the entities have similar risk profiles.
Consolidated VIEs
The table below shows the carrying amounts and classification of the consolidated VIEs’ assets and liabilities included in the consolidated financial statements as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022. The assets, except as noted in the footnotes to the table below, can only be used to settle obligations of the VIEs. The liabilities, except as noted in the footnotes to the table below, are such that creditors, or beneficiaries, do not have recourse to our general credit.

Note 15 — Variable Interest Entities
__________
(a)
Our balances include unrestricted assets for current unamortized energy contract assets of
$
23
million and $
23
million, disclosed within other current assets in the table above, noncurrent unamortized energy contract assets of $
161
million and $
178
million, disclosed within other noncurrent assets in the table above as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively.
(b)
As of September 30, 2023, our balance does not include any liabilities with recourse. Our balance includes liabilities with recourse of $
1
million as of December 31, 2022.
As of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, our consolidated VIEs included the following:
Consolidated VIE or VIE groups:
Reason entity is a VIE:
Reason we are the primary beneficiary:
CRP - A collection of wind and solar project entities. We have a
51
% equity ownership in CRP. See additional discussion below.
Similar structure to a limited partnership and the limited partners do not have kick out rights with respect to the general partner.
We conduct the operational activities.
Bluestem Wind Energy Holdings, LLC - A Tax Equity structure which is consolidated by CRP.
Similar structure to a limited partnership and the limited partners do not have kick out rights with respect to the general partner.
We conduct the operational activities.
Antelope Valley - A solar generating facility, which is
100
% owned by us. Antelope Valley sells all of its output to PG&E through a PPA.
The PPA contract absorbs variability through a performance guarantee.
We conduct all activities.
NER - A bankruptcy remote, special purpose entity which is
100
% owned by us, which purchases certain of our customer accounts receivable arising from the sale of retail electricity.
NER’s assets will be available first and foremost to satisfy the claims of the creditors of NER. Refer to Note 6 —Accounts Receivable for additional information on the sale of receivables.
Equity capitalization is insufficient to support its operations.
We conduct all activities.
CRP
- CRP is a collection of wind and solar project entities and some of these project entities are VIEs that are consolidated by CRP. While we or CRP own
100
% of the solar entities and
100
% of the majority of the wind entities, it has been determined that the wholly owned solar and wind entities are VIEs because the entities' customers absorb price variability from the entities through fixed price power and/or REC purchase agreements. Additionally, for the wind entities that have minority interests, it has been determined that these entities are VIEs because the governance rights of some investors are not proportional to their financial rights. We are the primary beneficiary of these solar and wind entities that qualify as VIEs because we control operations and direct all activities of the facilities. There is limited recourse to us related to certain solar and wind entities.
In 2017, our interests in CRP were contributed to and are pledged for the CR non-recourse debt project financing structure. Refer to Note 17 — Debt and Credit Agreements of our 2022 Form 10-K for additional information.
Unconsolidated VIEs
Our variable interests in unconsolidated VIEs generally include equity investments and energy purchase and sale contracts. For the equity investments, the carrying amount of the investments is reflected in the Consolidated Balance Sheets in Investments. For the energy purchase and sale contracts (commercial agreements), the carrying amount of assets and liabilities in the Consolidated Balance Sheets that relate to our involvement with the VIEs are predominantly related to working capital accounts and generally represent the amounts owed by, or owed to, us for the deliveries associated with the current billing cycles under the commercial agreements.

These items represent amounts on the unconsolidated VIE balance sheets, not in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. These items are included to provide information regarding the relative size of the unconsolidated VIEs. We do not have any exposure to loss as we do not have a carrying amount in the equity investment VIEs as o
f September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022.
As of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 the unconsolidated VIEs consist of:
Unconsolidated VIE groups:
Reason entity is a VIE:
Reason we are not the primary beneficiary:
Equity investments in distributed energy companies.
We sold this investment in the fourth quarter of 2022 resulting in it no longer being classified as an unconsolidated VIE.
Similar structures to a limited partnership and the limited partners do not have kick-out rights with respect to the general partner.
We do not conduct the operational activities.
Energy Purchase and Sale agreements - We have several energy purchase and sale agreements with generating facilities.
PPA contracts that absorb variability through fixed pricing.
We do not conduct the operational activities.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
(Dollars in millions, unless otherwise noted)
Executive Overview
We are a supplier of clean energy. Our generating capacity includes primarily nuclear, wind, solar, natural gas and hydroelectric assets. Through our integrated business operations, we sell electricity, natural gas, and other energy-related products and sustainable solutions to various types of customers, including distribution utilities, municipalities, cooperatives, and commercial, industrial, governmental, and residential customers in markets across multiple geographic regions. We have five reportable segments: Mid-Atlantic, Midwest, New York, ERCOT and Other Power Regions.
Significant Transactions and Developments
Separation from Exelon
On February 21, 2021, Exelon’s Board of Directors approved a plan to separate its competitive generation and customer-facing energy businesses into a stand-alone publicly traded company (separation). Exelon completed the separation on February 1, 2022. We incurred separation costs of $18 million and $30 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, and $84 million and $99 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, which are primarily recorded in Operating and maintenance expense. The separation costs are primarily comprised of system-related costs, third-party costs paid to advisors, consultants, lawyers, and other experts assisting in the separation. See Note 1 — Basis of Presentation of the Combined Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.
Share Repurchase Program
On February 16, 2023, our Board of Directors announced a share repurchase program with a $1 billion authority without expiration. Repurchases under this program commenced in March 2023. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, we repurchased from the open market 2.3 million and 8.5 million shares of our common stock for a total cost, inclusive of taxes and transaction costs, of $253 million and $756 million, respectively. See Note 14 — Shareholders' Equity of the Combined Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.
Acquisition of Joint Ownership in South Texas Project
On November 1, 2023, we acquired NRG South Texas LP, which owns a 44% undivided ownership interest in the jointly owned South Texas Project Nuclear Generating Station (STP), a 2,645-megawatt, dual-unit nuclear plant located in Bay City, Texas, for a cash purchase price of $1.75 billion. This acquisition is complementary to and aligned strategically with our existing clean energy business operations. See Note 2 — Mergers, Acquisitions, and Dispositions of the Combined notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information on this acquisition.
Revenue Recognized for Illinois ZECs Delivered in Prior Planning Years
Our Clinton and Quad Cities units contract with certain utilities in Illinois which requires delivery of all ZECs produced during each planning year (June 1 to May 31), with total compensation limited by an annual cap for each planning year designed to limit the cost of ZECs to each utility's customers. ZECs delivered that, if paid, would result in the annual cap being exceeded may be paid in subsequent years at the vintage year price as long as the payments would not exceed the annual cap in the year paid. In each planning year since the program commenced on June 1, 2017, we delivered ZECs to the utilities in excess of the annual compensation cap.
The ZEC price and annual compensation cap effective for each planning year are administratively determined by the IPA. For the June 1, 2023 to May 31, 2024 planning year, the ZEC price has been established at $0.30 per ZEC, subject to an annual cap of $224 million. ZECs generated and delivered during this planning year will not exceed the annual cap, providing capacity to compensate for ZECs delivered in prior planning years in excess of the compensation cap. During the second quarter of 2023, we recognized $218 million of revenue as a
58
Table of Contents
receivable for ZECs delivered in prior planning years, with payment expected in the third quarter of 2024. As of September 30, 2023, this receivable is included within Customer accounts receivable, net in the Consolidated Balance Sheets.
Other Key Business Drivers
Russia and Ukraine Conflict
We are closely monitoring developments of the Russia and Ukraine conflict including United States, United Kingdom, European Union, and Canadian sanctions that may impact exports and imports of Russian nuclear fuel supply and enrichment activities, as well as the potential for Russia to limit energy deliveries. To-date, our nuclear fuel deliveries have not been affected by the Russia and Ukraine conflict. Our nuclear fuel is obtained predominantly through long-term uranium supply and service contracts. We work with a diverse set of domestic and international suppliers years in advance to procure our nuclear fuel and generally have enough nuclear fuel to support all our refueling needs for multiple years regardless of sanctions. Recognizing the potential for the continuing conflict to impact our longer-term security and cost of supply, we have entered into contracts to increase the size of our nuclear fuel inventory. We are taking this affirmative action by working with our diverse set of suppliers to ensure we can secure the nuclear fuel needed to continue to operate our nuclear fleet long-term and provide the necessary fuel to bridge potential Russian supply disruption through 2028, which is the date multiple suppliers are expected to have incremental additional capacity online. We are also continuing to work with federal policymakers and other stakeholders to facilitate the expansion of the domestic nuclear fuel cycle within the United States to improve carbon-free energy security.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Management makes a number of significant estimates, assumptions, and judgements in the preparation of our financial statements. At September 30, 2023, the Registrants’ critical accounting policies and estimates had not changed significantly from December 31, 2022. See ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS — Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates in our 2022 Form 10-K for further information.

Adjusted EBITDA (non-GAAP).
In analyzing and planning for our business, we supplement our use of GAAP Net Income (Loss) Attributable to Common Shareholders with Adjusted EBITDA (non-GAAP) as a performance measure. Adjusted EBITDA (non-GAAP) reflects an additional way of viewing our business that, when viewed with our GAAP results and the accompanying reconciliation to GAAP Net Income (Loss) Attributable to Common Shareholders included in the table below, may provide a more complete understanding of factors and trends affecting our core business. Adjusted EBITDA (non-GAAP) should not be relied upon to the exclusion of GAAP financial measures and is, by definition, an incomplete understanding of our business, and must be considered in conjunction with GAAP measures. In addition, Adjusted EBITDA (non-GAAP) is neither a standardized financial measure, nor a presentation defined under GAAP and may not be comparable to other companies’ presentations of similarly titled financial measures or deemed more useful than the GAAP information provided elsewhere in this report.

Three Months Ended September 30, 2023 Compared to Three Months Ended September 30, 2022.
The variance in
Net income (loss) attributable to common shareholders
was favorable by $919 million primarily due to:
•
Favorable market and portfolio conditions primarily driven by higher realized margins on load contracts and generation-to-load optimization;
•
Favorable mark-to-market activity and other fair value adjustments;
•
Favorable net realized and unrealized NDT activity; and
•
Favorable impact of net realized and unrealized equity investment activity.
The favorable items were partially offset by:
•
Impact of our annual update to the nuclear ARO for Non-Regulatory Agreement Units;
•
Higher labor, contracting and materials; and
•
Lower ZEC revenues primarily driven by lower Illinois ZEC prices in the current planning year.

Nine Months Ended September 30, 2023 Compared to Nine Months Ended September 30, 2022.
The variance in
Net income (loss) attributable to common shareholders
was favorable by $1,854 million primarily due to:
•
Favorable net realized and unrealized NDT activity;
•
Favorable market and portfolio conditions primarily driven by higher realized margins on load contracts and generation-to-load optimization;
•
Unrealized gains resulting from an investment that became a publicly traded company in the second quarter of 2023;
•
Favorable mark-to-market activity and other fair value adjustments; and
•
Higher ZEC revenues primarily driven by revenue recognized for ZECs delivered under the Illinois ZEC program in prior planning years.
The favorable items were partially offset by:
•
Higher labor, contracting and materials;
•
Lower capacity revenues;
•
Impact of our annual update to the nuclear ARO for Non-Regulatory Agreement Units;
•
Unfavorable impacts of nuclear outages; and
•
Higher interest expense.
Operating revenues.
The basis for our reportable segments is the integrated management of our electricity business that is located in different geographic regions, and largely representative of the footprints of ISO/RTO and/or NERC regions, which utilize multiple supply sources to provide electricity through various distribution channels (wholesale and retail). Our hedging strategies and risk metrics are also aligned with these same geographic regions. Our five reportable segments are Mid-Atlantic, Midwest, New York, ERCOT, and Other Power Regions. See Note 5
—
Segment Information of the Combined Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information on these reportable segments.
The following business activities are not allocated to a region and are reported under Other: wholesale and retail sales of natural gas, as well as other miscellaneous business activities that are not significant to overall results of operations.

Nuclear Fleet Capacity Factor.
The following table presents nuclear fleet operating data for our plants, which reflects ownership percentage of stations operated by us, excluding Salem, which is operated by PSEG. The nuclear fleet capacity factor presented in the table is defined as the ratio of the actual output of a plant over a period of time to its output if the plant had operated at its net monthly mean capacity for that time period. We consider capacity factor to be a useful measure to analyze the nuclear fleet performance between periods. We have included the analysis below as a complement to the financial information provided in accordance with GAAP. However, these measures are not a presentation defined under GAAP and may not be comparable to other companies’ presentations of similarly titled measures or be more useful than the GAAP information provided elsewhere in this report.

The ZEC price is expected to be $10.00/MWh for each delivery period and is subject to an annual update once full year generation is known. Following the latest annual update, on August 16, 2023 the ZEC price for the delivery period beginning June 1, 2022 through May 31, 2023 was calculated to be $9.88.
(c)
See Note 4 — Revenue from Contracts with Customers of the Combined Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information on the Illinois ZEC program.
Illinois CMC Price.
The price received (paid) for each CMC is determined by the IPA monthly and is based on the accepted CMC bid, less the sum of (a) monthly weighted average PJM Busbar price, (b) ComEd zone capacity price and (c) any federal tax credit or subsidy received and is subject to a customer protection cap ($30.30 per MWh for initial delivery period June 1, 2022 through May 31, 2023 and $32.50 per MWh for the period June 1, 2023 through May 31, 2024). If the monthly CMC price per MWh calculation results in a net positive value, ComEd will multiply that value by the delivered quantity and pay the total to us. If the CMC price per MWh calculation results in a net negative value, we will multiply this value by the delivered quantity and pay the net value to ComEd. The average CMC prices per MWh were $2.12 and ($51.70) for the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively and $3.54 and ($51.85) for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. See Note 3 - Regulatory Matters of our 2022 Form 10-K for additional information on the Illinois CMC program.
Capacity Prices
. We participate in capacity auctions in each of our major regions, except ERCOT which does not have a capacity market. We also incur capacity costs associated with load served, which are factored into customer sales prices. Capacity prices have a significant impact on our operating revenues and purchased power and fuel expense. We report capacity on a net monthly basis within each region in either Operating revenues or Purchased power and fuel, depending on our net monthly position. The following table presents the average capacity reference prices ($/MW Day) for each of our major regions. Prices reflect the weighted average prices for the various auction periods within the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022.

Electricity Prices.
As a producer and supplier of electricity, the price of electricity has a significant impact on our operating revenues and purchased power cost. We report the sale and purchase of electricity in the spot market on a net hourly basis in either Operating revenues or Purchased power and fuel expense within each region, depending on our net hourly position. The price of electricity is impacted by several variables, including but not limited to, the price of fuels, generation resources in the region, weather, on-going competition, emerging technologies, as well as macroeconomic and regulatory factors. The following table presents an average day-ahead around-the-clock reference price ($/MWh) for the periods presented for each of our major regions and does not necessarily reflect prices we ultimately realized.

Prior to separation, we were allocated our portion of pension and OPEB non-service credits (costs) from Exelon, which was included in Operating and maintenance expense. Effective February 1, 2022, the non-service credit (cost) components are included in Other, net, in accordance with single employer plan accounting. See Note 9 — Retirement Benefits of the Combined Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.
(c)
For 2023, includes unrealized gain resulting from equity investment that became publicly traded in the second quarter of 2023 and now has a readily determinable fair value (and no longer is accounted for as an equity method investment due to lack of significant influence). We recorded the fair value of this investment in Investments on the Consolidated Balance Sheets based on quoted market price of the stock. See Note 12 — Fair Value of Financial Assets and Liabilities of the Combined Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.
(d)
This reflects amounts contractually owed to Exelon under the TMA, which is offset in Income taxes.

We do not expect the effective tax rate to deviate from the statutory tax rate with the exception of realized and unrealized gains and losses of the nuclear decommissioning trust funds. In 2022, the rate was also impacted by one-time adjustments

Liquidity and Capital Resources
All results included throughout the liquidity and capital resources section are presented on a GAAP basis.
Our operating and capital expenditures requirements are provided by internally generated cash flows from operations, the sale of certain receivables, as well as funds from external sources in the capital markets and through bank borrowings. Our business is capital intensive and requires considerable capital resources. We annually evaluate our financing plan and credit line sizing, focusing on maintaining our investment grade ratings while meeting our cash needs to fund capital requirements, including construction expenditures, retire debt, pay dividends, fund pension and OPEB obligations, and invest in new and existing ventures. A broad spectrum of financing alternatives beyond the core financing options can be used to meet our needs and fund growth, including monetizing assets in the portfolio via project financing, asset sales, and the use of other financing structures (e.g. joint ventures, minority partners, etc.). Our access to external financing on reasonable terms depends on our credit ratings and current overall capital market business conditions. If these conditions deteriorate to the extent that we no longer have access to the capital markets at reasonable terms, we have access to credit facilities with aggregate bank commitments of $5.9 billion. We utilize our credit facilities to support our commercial paper programs, provide for other short-term borrowings and to issue letters of credit.
See the “Credit Matters and Cash Requirements” section below for additional information.
We expect cash flows to be sufficient to meet operating expenses, financing costs, and capital expenditure requirements. See Note 11 — Debt and Credit Agreements of the Combined Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information on our debt and credit agreements.
Pursuant to the Separation Agreement between us and Exelon, we received a cash payment of $1.75 billion from Exelon on January 31, 2022. See Note 1 — Basis of Presentation of the Combined Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information on the separation.
NRC Minimum Funding Requirements
NRC regulations require that licensees of nuclear generating facilities demonstrate reasonable assurance that sufficient funds will be available in certain minimum amounts for radiological decommissioning of the facility. These NRC minimum funding levels are typically based upon the assumption that decommissioning activities will commence after the end of the current licensed life of each unit. If a unit fails the NRC minimum funding test, then the plant’s owners or parent companies would be required to take steps, such as providing financial guarantees through surety bonds, letters of credit, or parent company guarantees or making additional cash contributions to the NDT fund to ensure sufficient funds are available. See Note 7 — Nuclear Decommissioning of the Combined Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information regarding the latest funding status report filed with the NRC.
As of September 30, 2023, the TMI Unit 1 NDT is fully funded under the SAFSTOR scenario that is the planned decommissioning option, as described in the TMI Unit 1 PSDAR filed with the NRC on April 5, 2019. See Liquidity and Capital Resources — NRC Minimum Funding Requirements of our 2022 Form 10-K for information regarding the risk of additional financial assurance for shutdown units.
Cash Flows from Operating Activities
Our cash flows from operating activities primarily result from the sale of electric energy and energy-related products and sustainable solutions to customers. Our future cash flows from operating activities may be affected by future demand for, and market prices of, energy and our ability to continue to produce and supply power at competitive costs, as well as to obtain collections from customers and the sale of certain receivables.
See Note 3 — Regulatory Matters and Note 13 — Commitments and Contingencies of the Combined Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information on regulatory and legal proceedings and proposed legislation.

See Note 16 — Supplemental Financial Information of the Combined Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information on the Other non-cash operating activities line.
Changes in our cash flows from operations were generally consistent with changes in results of operations, as adjusted by changes in working capital in the normal course of business, except as discussed below. In addition, significant operating cash flow impacts for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022 were as follows:
•
A net increase in cash outflows for
changes in working capital and other noncurrent assets and liabilities
primarily relates to a decrease in Accounts payable and accrued expenses, primarily driven by lower gas prices and a decrease in ComEd CMC program activity for the current year. This was partially offset by a decrease in Accounts receivable, mainly driven by higher contracted prices and volumes at year end 2022 including the impact of the December 2022 weather event. Additionally, there was a decrease in Other assets and liabilities, primarily driven by an increase in cash collections applied to DPP due to a decrease in the drawn Facility balance in 2023 compared to 2022. See Note 6 — Accounts Receivable of the Combined Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information on accounts receivable.
•
Depending upon whether we are in a net mark-to-market liability or asset position,
collateral
may be required to be posted with or collected from our counterparties. In addition, the collateral posting and collection requirements differ depending on whether the transactions are on an exchange or in the over-the-counter markets. See Note 10 — Derivative Financial Instruments of the Combined Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information on collateral.
•
Option premiums paid, net
relates to options contracts that we purchase and sell as part of our established policies and procedures to manage risks associated with market fluctuations in commodity prices. See Note 10 — Derivative Financial Instruments of the Combined Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information on derivative contracts.
•
Decrease in cash outflows for
pension and non-pension postretirement benefit contributions
is primarily due to our annual qualified pension contribution of $21 million and $192 million made in July 2023 and February 2022, respectively. See Note 9 — Retirement Benefits of the Combined Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information on pension and non-pension postretirement benefit plans.

Significant investing cash flow impacts for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022 were as follows:
•
Collection of DPP, net
increased primarily due to the increased cash collections applied to DPP as a result of a decrease in the drawn Facility balance in 2023 compared to 2022. In addition, more cash collections were reinvested in the Facility in 2023. See Note 6 — Accounts Receivable of the Combined Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.
•
Increase in
capital expenditures
are primarily due to the timing of cash expenditures for capital projects. See Liquidity and Capital Resources — Credit Matters and Cash Requirements of our 2022 Form 10-K for information for additional information on projected capital expenditure spending.

Credit Matters and Cash Requirements
We fund liquidity needs for capital expenditures, working capital, energy hedging and other financial commitments through cash flows from operations, public debt offerings, commercial paper markets and large, diversified credit facilities. As of September 30, 2023, we have access to facilities with aggregate bank commitments of $5.9 billion. We had access to the commercial paper markets and had availability under our revolving credit facilities during the third quarter of 2023 to fund our short-term liquidity needs, when necessary. We routinely review the sufficiency of our liquidity position, including appropriate sizing of credit facility commitments, by performing various stress test scenarios, such as commodity price movements, increases in margin-related transactions, changes in hedging levels, and the impacts of hypothetical credit downgrades. We closely monitor events in the financial markets and the financial institutions associated with the credit facilities, including monitoring credit ratings and outlooks, credit default swap levels, capital raising, and merger activity. See PART I, ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS of our 2022 Form 10-K for additional information regarding the effects of uncertainty in the capital and credit markets.
We believe our cash flow from operating activities, access to credit markets and our credit facilities provide sufficient liquidity to support the estimated future cash requirements discussed below.
If we had lost our investment grade credit rating as of September 30, 2023, we would have been required to provide incremental collateral estimated to be approximately $1.9 billion to meet collateral obligations for derivatives, non-derivatives, NPNS, and applicable payables and receivables, net of the contractual right of offset under master netting agreements. A loss of investment grade credit rating would have required a significant reduction in credit ratings from their current levels of BBB and Baa2 at S&P and Moody's, respectively, to BB+ and Ba1 or below. As of September 30, 2023, we had $4.1 billion of available capacity and $1.9 billion of cash on hand. In the event of a credit downgrade below investment grade and a resulting requirement to provide incremental collateral exceeding our available capacity and cash on hand, we could be required to access additional liquidity through the capital markets. See Note 10 — Derivative Financial Instruments and Note 11 — Debt and Credit Agreements of the Combined Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.
Pension and Other Postretirement Benefits
We consider various factors when making pension funding decisions, including actuarially-determined minimum contribution requirements under ERISA, contributions required to avoid benefit restrictions and at-risk status as defined by the Pension Protection Act of 2006 (Pension Protection Act), and management of the pension obligation. The Pension Protection Act requires the attainment of certain funding levels to avoid benefit restrictions (such as an inability to pay lump sums or to accrue benefits prospectively), and at-risk status (which triggers higher minimum contribution requirements and participant notification). The contributions below reflect a funding strategy to make levelized annual contributions with the objective of achieving 100% funded status over

time. This level funding strategy helps minimize volatility of future period required pension contributions. Based on this funding strategy and current market conditions, which are both subject to change, our annual qualified pension contribution was made in July 2023 for $21 million. Unlike the qualified pension plans, our non-qualified pension plans are not funded, given that they are not subject to statutory minimum contribution requirements.
OPEB plans are also not subject to statutory minimum contribution requirements, though we have funded certain parts of our plans. For our funded OPEB plans, we consider several factors in determining the level of our contributions, including liabilities management and levels of benefit claims paid. The estimated benefit payments to the non-qualified pension plans in 2023 are approximately $10 million and the planned contributions to the OPEB plans, including estimated benefit payments to unfunded plans, is $30 million. Refer to ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - Liquidity and Capital Resources of our 2022 Form 10-K for additional information on pension and other postretirement benefits.
Cash Requirements for Other Financial Commitments
On November 1, 2023, we acquired NRG South Texas LP for a cash purchase price of $1.75 billion. We used the proceeds from the third quarter 2023 senior note issuances in the aggregate principal amount of $1.4 billion, together with available cash balances, to fund the acquisition. See Note 2 — Mergers, Acquisitions, and Dispositions and Note 11 — Debt and Credit Agreements of the Combined notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information on this acquisition.
Refer to ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - Liquidity and Capital Resources of our 2022 Form 10-K for additional information on our cash requirements for financial commitments.
Sales of Customer Accounts Receivable
We have an accounts receivable financing facility with a number of financial institutions and a commercial paper conduit to sell certain receivables, which expires on August 15, 2025 unless renewed by the mutual consent of the parties in accordance with its terms. See Note 6 — Accounts Receivable of the Combined Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.
Project Financing
Project financing is based upon a nonrecourse financial structure, in which project debt is paid back from the cash generated by a specific asset or portfolio of assets. Borrowings under these agreements are secured by the assets and equity of each respective project. Lenders do not have recourse against us in the event of a default. If a project financing entity does not maintain compliance with its specific debt covenants, there could be a requirement to accelerate repayment of the associated debt or other project-related borrowings earlier than the stated maturity dates. In these instances, if such repayment were not satisfied, or restructured, the lenders or security holders would generally have rights to foreclose against the project-specific assets and related collateral. The potential requirement to repay the debt or other borrowings earlier than otherwise anticipated could lead to impairments due to a higher likelihood of disposing of the respective project-specific assets significantly before the end of their useful lives. See Note 17 — Debt and Credit Agreements of our 2022 Form 10-K for additional information on project finance credit facilities and nonrecourse debt.
Credit Facilities
We meet our short-term liquidity requirements primarily through the issuance of commercial paper. We may use our credit facilities for general corporate purposes, including meeting short-term funding requirements and the issuance of letters of credit. See Note 11 — Debt and Credit Agreements of the Combined Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information on our credit facilities.
Security Ratings
Our access to the capital markets, including the commercial paper market, and our financing costs in those markets, may depend on our securities ratings.
77
Table of
Contents
Our borrowings are not subject to default or prepayment as a result of a downgrade of our securities, although such a downgrade could increase fees and interest charges under our credit agreements.
As part of the normal course of business, we enter into contracts that contain express provisions or otherwise permit us and our counterparties to demand adequate assurance of future performance when there are reasonable grounds for doing so. In accordance with the contracts and applicable contracts law, if we are downgraded by a credit rating agency, it is possible that a counterparty would attempt to rely on such a downgrade as a basis for making a demand for adequate assurance of future performance, which could include the posting of additional collateral. See Note 10 — Derivative Financial Instruments of the Combined Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information on collateral provisions.
Our credit ratings from S&P and Moody's are BBB and Baa2, respectively, as of September 30, 2023 and have not changed during the nine months ended September 30, 2023.
ITEM 3.
QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
We are exposed to market risks associated with adverse changes in commodity prices, counterparty credit, interest rates, and equity prices. We manage these risks through risk management policies and objectives for risk assessment, control and valuation, counterparty credit approval, and the monitoring and reporting of risk exposures. After the separation on February 1, 2022, reporting on risk management issues is to the Executive Committee, the Risk Management Committees of our generation and customer-facing businesses, and the Audit and Risk Committee of the Board of Directors. The following discussion serves as an update to ITEM 7A - QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK of our 2022 Annual Report on Form 10-K incorporated herein by reference.
Commodity Price Risk
Commodity price risk is associated with price movements resulting from changes in supply and demand, fuel costs, market liquidity, weather conditions, governmental, regulatory and environmental policies, and other factors. To the extent the total amount of energy we generate and purchase differs from the amount of energy we have contracted to sell, we are exposed to market fluctuations in commodity prices. We seek to mitigate our commodity price risk through the sale and purchase of electricity, natural gas and oil, and other commodities.
Electricity available from our owned or contracted generation supply in excess of our obligations to customers is sold into the wholesale markets. To reduce commodity price risk caused by market fluctuations, we enter into non-derivative contracts as well as derivative contracts, including swaps, futures, forwards, and options, with approved counterparties to hedge anticipated exposures. We use derivative instruments as economic hedges to mitigate exposure to fluctuations in commodity prices. We expect the settlement of the majority of our economic hedges will occur during 2023 through 2026.
In general, increases and decreases in forward market prices have a positive and negative impact, respectively, on owned and contracted generation positions that have not been hedged. For merchant revenues not already hedged via comprehensive state programs, such as the CMC in Illinois, historically we have used a three-year ratable sales plan to align our hedging strategy with our financial objectives. As a result, our prompt three-year merchant revenues have been hedged on an approximate rolling 90%/60%/30% basis. We may also enter into transactions that are outside of this ratable hedging program. As of September 30, 2023, the percentage of expected generation hedged for the Mid-Atlantic, Midwest, New York, and ERCOT reportable segments is 97%-100% and 80%-83% for 2023 and 2024, respectively. Going forward, we will continue to be proactive in managing our overall portfolio exposure to commodity risk, but will also manage our generation portfolio through the nuclear PTC, which, starting in 2024, provides downside commodity price protection for our nuclear units. Like our traditional hedging program, the nuclear PTC is an important tool in managing commodity risk.
Market price risk exposure is the risk of a change in the value of unhedged positions. The forecasted market price risk exposure for our entire economic hedge portfolio associated with a $5.00/MWh reduction in the annual average around-the-clock energy price based on September 30, 2023 market conditions and hedged position would have no change on the pre-tax net income for 2023 and a decrease in pre-tax net income of approximately $153 million for 2024.

See Note 10 — Derivative Financial Instruments of the Combined Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.
Fuel Procurement
We procure natural gas through long-term and short-term contracts and spot-market purchases. Nuclear fuel assemblies are obtained predominantly through long-term uranium concentrate supply contracts, contracted conversion services, contracted enrichment services, or a combination thereof, including contracts sourced from Russia, and contracted fuel fabrication services. The supply markets for uranium concentrates and certain nuclear fuel services are subject to price fluctuations and availability restrictions. Supply market conditions may make our procurement contracts subject to credit risk related to the potential non-performance of counterparties to deliver the contracted commodity or service at the contracted prices. We engage a diverse set of suppliers to ensure we can secure the nuclear fuel needed to continue to operate our nuclear fleet long-term. Approximately 55% of our uranium concentrate requirements for the remainder of 2023 through 2028 are supplied by three suppliers. To-date, we have not experienced any counterparty credit risk associated with these suppliers stemming from the Russia and Ukraine conflict. In the event of non-performance by these or other suppliers, we believe that replacement uranium concentrate can be obtained, although at prices that may be unfavorable when compared to the prices under the current supply agreements. Geopolitical developments, including the Russia and Ukraine conflict and United States, United Kingdom, European Union, and Canadian sanctions against Russia, have the potential to impact delivery from multiple suppliers in the international uranium processing industry. Non-performance by these counterparties could have a material adverse impact on our consolidated financial statements. To-date, we have not experienced any delivery or non-performance issues from our suppliers, nor any degradation in the quality of fuel we have received, and we are closely monitoring developments from the conflict. See ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS — Other Key Business Drivers for more information on the Russia and Ukraine conflict.
Trading and Non-Trading Marketing Activities
The following table detailing our trading and non-trading marketing activities is included to address the recommended disclosures by the energy industry’s Committee of Chief Risk Officers.
The following table provides detail on changes in our commodity mark-to-market net asset or liability balance sheet position from December 31, 2022 to September 30, 2023. It indicates the drivers behind changes in the balance sheet amounts. This table incorporates the mark-to-market activities that are immediately recorded in earnings. This table excludes all NPNS contracts and does not segregate proprietary trading activity. See Note 10 — Derivative Financial Instruments of the Combined Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information on the balance sheet classification of the mark-to-market energy contract net assets recorded as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022.

Credit Risk
We would be exposed to credit-related losses in the event of non-performance by counterparties that execute derivative instruments. The credit exposure of derivative contracts, before collateral, is represented by the fair value of contracts at the reporting date. See Note 10 — Derivative Financial Instruments of the Combined Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for a detailed discussion of credit risk.
Credit-Risk-Related Contingent Features
As part of the normal course of business, we routinely enter into physically or financially settled contracts for the purchase and sale of electric capacity, electricity, fuels, emissions allowances, and other energy-related products. In accordance with the contracts and applicable law, if we are downgraded by a credit rating agency, especially if such downgrade is to a level below investment grade, it is possible that a counterparty would attempt to rely on such a downgrade as a basis for making a demand for adequate assurance of future performance. Depending on our net position with a counterparty, the demand could be for the posting of collateral. In the absence of expressly agreed-to provisions that specify the collateral that must be provided, collateral requested will be a function of the facts and circumstances of the situation at the time of the demand. See Note 10 — Derivative Financial Instruments of the Combined Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information regarding collateral requirements and Note 13 — Commitments and Contingencies of the Combined Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information regarding the letters of credit supporting the cash collateral.
We transact output through bilateral contracts. The bilateral contracts are subject to credit risk, which relates to the ability of counterparties to meet their contractual payment obligations. Any failure to collect these payments from counterparties could have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements. As market prices rise above or fall below contracted price levels, we are required to post collateral with purchasers; as market prices fall below contracted price levels, counterparties are required to post collateral with us. To post collateral, we depend on access to bank credit facilities, which serve as liquidity sources to fund collateral requirements. See ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS, Liquidity and Capital Resources —
Credit Matters and Cash Requirements — Credit Facilities
for additional information.

RTOs and ISOs
We participate in all, or some, of the established, wholesale spot energy markets that are administered by PJM, ISO-NE, NYISO, CAISO, MISO, SPP, AESO, OIESO, and ERCOT. ERCOT is not subject to regulation by FERC but performs a similar function in Texas to that performed by RTOs in markets regulated by FERC. In these areas, power is traded through bilateral agreements between buyers and sellers and on the spot energy markets that are administered by the RTOs or ISOs, as applicable. In areas where there is no spot energy market, electricity is purchased and sold solely through bilateral agreements. For sales into the spot markets administered by an RTO or ISO, the RTO or ISO maintains financial assurance policies that are established and enforced by those administrators. The credit policies of the RTOs and ISOs may, under certain circumstances, require that losses arising from the default of one member on spot energy market transactions be shared by the remaining participants. Non-performance or non-payment by a major member of the ISO could result in a material adverse impact on our consolidated financial statements.
Exchange Traded Transactions
We enter into commodity transactions on NYMEX, ICE, NASDAQ, NGX, and Nodal Exchange (each an Exchange and, collectively, Exchanges). The Exchange clearinghouses act as the counterparty to each trade. Transactions on the Exchanges must adhere to comprehensive collateral and margining requirements. As a result, transactions on Exchanges are significantly collateralized and have limited counterparty credit risk.
Interest Rate and Foreign Exchange Risk
We use a combination of fixed-rate and variable-rate debt to manage interest rate exposure. We may also utilize interest rate swaps to manage our interest rate exposure. A hypothetical 50 basis point increase in the interest rates associated with unhedged variable-rate debt (excluding Commercial Paper) and fixed-to-floating swaps would not result in a material decrease in our
pre-tax
income for the nine months ended September 30, 2023. To manage foreign exchange rate exposure associated with international energy purchases in currencies other than U.S. dollars, we utilize foreign currency derivatives, which are typically designated as economic hedges. See Note 10 — Derivative Financial Instruments of the Combined Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.
Equity Price Risk
We maintain trust funds, as required by the NRC, to fund the costs of decommissioning our nuclear plants. Our NDT funds are reflected at fair value in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The mix of securities in the trust funds is designed to provide returns to be used to fund decommissioning and to compensate us for inflationary increases in decommissioning costs; however, the equity securities in the trust funds are exposed to price fluctuations in equity markets, and the value of fixed-rate, fixed-income securities are exposed to changes in interest rates. We actively monitor the investment performance of the trust funds and periodically review asset allocations in accordance with our NDT fund investment policy. A hypothetical 25 basis points increase in interest rates and 10% decrease in equity prices would result in a $695 million reduction in the fair value of the trust assets as of September 30, 2023. This calculation holds all other variables constant and assumes only the discussed changes in interest rates and equity prices. See Liquidity and Capital Resources section of ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS for additional information.
ITEM 4.
CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
During the third quarter of 2023, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures related to the recording, processing, summarizing, and reporting of information in periodic reports that we file or submit with the SEC. These disclosure controls and procedures have been designed to ensure that (a) information relating to our consolidated subsidiaries, is accumulated and made known to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, by other employees as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure, and
81
Table of Contents
(b) this information is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported, as applicable, within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms. Due to the inherent limitations of control systems, not all misstatements may be detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls could be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons or by collusion of two or more people.
Accordingly, as of September 30, 2023, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective to accomplish their objectives.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
We continually strive to improve our disclosure controls and procedures to enhance the quality of our financial reporting and to maintain dynamic systems that change as conditions warrant. There have been no changes in internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the third quarter of 2023 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, any of our internal control over financial reporting.

Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities (CEG Parent)
On February 16, 2023, as part of our capital allocation plan, our Board of Directors announced a share repurchase program with a $1 billion authority without expiration. Share repurchases may be made through a variety of methods, which may include open market transactions, privately negotiated transactions, or purchases pursuant to a Rule 10b5-1 trading plan, provided that the amounts spent do not exceed what is authorized
.
Any repurchased shares are constructively retired and cancelled. The program does not obligate us to acquire a minimum number of shares during any period and our repurchase of CEG's common stock may be limited, suspended, or discontinued at any time at our discretion and without prior notice. Repurchases under this program commenced in March 2023.
On August 7, 2023, we entered into a stock purchase plan for the purchase of shares of our common stock (August 2023 Stock Purchase Plan), designed to comply with Rule 10b5-1 under the Exchange Act. Under its terms, the August 2023 Stock Purchase Plan would expire at the later of the completion of the maximum purchase amount of $250 million of shares of our common stock, or September 30, 2023.
