Quarterly Performance Overview

  • GAAP EPS: $0.60; Non-GAAP EPS: $0.87. Slightly below the midpoint of guidance.
  • Warm winter significantly impacted results. Mid-Atlantic temperatures were 5–7 degrees above normal, reducing earnings by $0.14 per share. Heating degree days were down 18%–22% across non-decoupled utilities.
  • Exelon Utilities delivered $0.55 EPS (net of holding company expenses). Non-decoupled utilities experienced weather‑driven load reduction.
  • Exelon Generation (ExGen) earned $0.32 EPS, impacted by mild weather and unplanned outages, partially offset by lower O&M and nuclear decommissioning trust gains.
  • Completed 7 of 8 nuclear refueling outages ahead of plan with world-class timing (16–18 days).

Guidance Updates & COVID-19 Impacts

  • Revised full-year 2020 EPS guidance to $2.80–$3.10 from $3.00–$3.30 due to COVID-19, weather, and lower ROEs at ComEd.
  • Q2 adjusted EPS guidance: $0.35–$0.45, expected to be the most negatively impacted quarter.
  • Load expectations for Q2: C&I down 9%–15%; residential up 4%–7%. Load impacts expected to moderate over the year.
  • $250 million in cost savings identified to offset pandemic-driven headwinds (viewed largely as one-time reductions).
