Today's presentation also includes references to adjusted operating earnings and other non-GAAP measures. Please refer to the information contained in the appendix of our presentation and our earnings release for reconciliations between the non-GAAP measures and the nearest equivalent GAAP measures. We've scheduled 45 minutes for today's call. I'll now turn the call over to Chris Crane, Exxon's CEO.

Thanks, and good morning to everybody, and thanks for joining us. We're pleased to host our first post separation earnings call as the nation's premier T&D utility company. We closed, as you all know, on the separation on February 1st, delivering on our commitment to close within the first quarter of 2022. The transition has really unlocked significant value for our shareholders. In the time of announcing a year ago through mid-April this year, the total shareholder return was 76%, far exceeding the UTY index in the S&P. At the same time, we continue to demonstrate our reliability, focused on operational and financial excellence. We earned 49 cents per share on a GAAP basis and 64 cents a share on non-GAAP basis. We also completed a successful bond deal for our holding company with attractive pricing showing the value of our strong balance sheet, even in a challenging market. Joe will cover the financial highlights in his presentation shortly. On the regulatory front, it is quite a year, but we've made progress in several jurisdictions to support our investment plans on behalf of our customers. This includes a settlement in Delmarva, Maryland, in the electric case, the gas filing for Delmarva, Delaware, and PECO, and our last distribution filing under the ComEd distribution formula rate. In addition, ComEd continues to work with the stakeholders on the CEJA last year landmark clean energy legislation. They continue to support what our customers and our stakeholders want. It's a clear path for Illinois' electric utilities to transition into a rate-sending process. While we're ensuring the state can support its ambitious climate goals and its social equity goals, we feel comfortable in our process going forward. Comment has proposed a performance metrics plan before the ICC, which includes eight performance metrics and 13 tracking metrics. As we adjust our proposal, for stakeholder feedback. We're optimistic that the metrics approved by the commission will support continued improvement in our top tier service for customers. We expect the final order by the end of the third quarter. There's a lot of work to be done between here and there. ComEd's also participating in the stakeholder process in a multi-year integrated grid plan workshop. The plan will help ComEd's long-term investment planning process and priorities with the exception of the regulators and CEG pay. This is in preparation for our filing in early 2023. for rates effective in 2024. Joe will cover that case in a little bit more detail. Beyond the financial performance and operational performance, we continue to focus on our communities and the transition to a cleaner grid. We joined the DOE's Better Climate Challenge in February, reinforcing our path to clean commitment to reduce scope one and scope two greenhouse gases by 50% by 2030. As part of the HBCU corporate scholars program announced last fall, we have 24 students were awarded $2.4 million in scholarships. This program will support the next generation to lead our clean energy future. It's astounding to sit with these young students and see their passion on where they want to go in the future. We are funding support for small business development and underserved communities in our service territory for more than 65 workforce type programs. where we train and make individuals capable of coming into our areas ready for work. And our fifth annual STEM Academy will be held this summer in Philadelphia, Chicago, D.C., Baltimore area with approximately the goal now is 60 women, young women to be involved. Moving to our operations on slide five, we're delivering safe, reliable service across the jurisdictions. Performances remain solid and outage durations and frequency remain our top priority. Our utilities are working together to improve in specific areas. As you saw this weekend on the Mid-Atlantic utilities, the storms continue to intensify and the duration continues to be lengthened, but our operations teams are really focused on that and continuing to drive standards of construction reliability up. ComEd's reliability performance was top decile in both KD and safety, delivering on the highest first quarter reliability to customers for any year on record. We made improvements in OSHA performance, bringing PECO up to top quartile, but we're not satisfied with anything but the safest experience for our employees and our communities. And we still have work to go on that. There's no shunning that away. It's a top priority of all our operations, folks. UGE and ComEd and PECO all achieved top quartile and customer satisfaction for the quarter. And all three of our utilities that distribute gas were in top decile on odor response. PHI had perfect execution responding to all its gas odors in less than one hour. And that's a very large service territory acreage-wise. So being able to roll the trucks and the employees out is a good feat that they've achieved. Joe will highlight some of our investments we're making to help deliver this performance. And with that, I'll turn it over to Joe and for you to hear the financial update and some of the strategic actions we're taking.

Thank you, Chris. And good morning, everyone. Today, I'll cover our first quarter results, as Chris mentioned, our quarterly financial updates, and as he noted, highlight several areas in which our utilities are making investments for the benefits of our customers. If I start on slide six, we show our quarter over quarter adjusted operating earnings walk. Exelon's continuing operations earned 64 cents in Q1 of 2022, versus 55 cents in Q1 of 21. Let me start by reminding you of the impacts to Exelon's financials following the separation. As disclosed in our 8K issued on February 25th, beginning with the 10Q to be filed today for the first quarter of 2022, we are presenting our former generation segment as discontinued operations for the one-month period in 2022 prior to the separation and for the three months ended March 31st, 2021. Financial results for the utilities and the holding company are reported as continuing operations. As a reminder, accounting rules require that certain corporate overhead costs previously allocated to generation be presented as part of the Exelon's continuing operations. I want to note that these costs were paid for by generation and they are not indicative of our corporate overhead post separation. The impact of this business services company allocation adjustment to Exelon's continuing operations is $0.09 for the first quarter of 21 and $0.02 for the one month in 2022 on an after-tax basis. You will continue to see this adjustment for 21 as we present prior year quarters. However, this adjustment only impacts Q1 for 2022. Excluding the $0.07 quarter-over-quarter impact of the discontinued operations accounting adjustment for BSC allocations, Exelon's first quarter results were $0.02 higher than the first quarter of 2021. The improvement from 2021 was primarily driven by higher transmission and distribution rates associated with completed rate cases, partially offset by depreciation and amortization, and storms at the utilities, and the impact of rising interest rates on debt at the holding company. Our operating earning results of $0.64 for the first quarter were in line with the percentage of full-year earnings we shared with you in the January 2022 Analyst Day presentation. Turning to our full year outlook, we reaffirm our 2022 earnings guidance range of $2.18 to $2.32 per share. While we have benefited from rising treasury rates on comments, distribution, return on equity, like most companies, we are also impacted by higher interest expense in our debt, in particular at our holding company. As we normally do, we will update guidance on our Q3 call. As a reminder, we have committed to a long-term operating earnings growth target of 68% through 2025 off the midpoint of guidance for 21 communicated on analyst day. Moving to slide seven, looking at our utility returns on a consolidated basis, we expect to be in our consolidated 9% to 10% targeted range by year end. As of the first quarter, our trailing 12-month return on equity of 8.9% dipped slightly below our range. Despite higher earnings driven primarily by distribution and transmission rates, the earnings were outpaced by timing of equity infusions across all our utilities to support capital investments. We remain focused on delivering stronger returns at the utilities, which sustain the investment we make on behalf of our customers. Turning to slide eight, there were some important developments on the regulatory front since the beginning of the year. First, on January 14th, Delmarva Power filed an application with the Delaware Public Service Commission seeking a $14.5 million increase in gas distribution base rates, reflecting an ROE of 10.3%. Delmarva Power customers continue to benefit from the major enhancements that are being made to the local natural gas system. Key projects to strengthen and create additional capacity in the company's natural gas delivery system have also been critical to meet growing loads. As permitted by Delaware law, Delmarva Power will implement full allowable rates on August 14, subject to refund. Second, Delmarva, Maryland received a final order for its distribution electric rate case on March 2. The Maryland Commission approved the proposed settlement order by the Chief Public Utility Law Judge that recommended a $12.5 million increase in annual electric distribution rates, reflecting an ROE of 9.6%. Third, on March 31st, PECO filed a gas distribution rate case with the Pennsylvania Public Utility Commission. PECO is seeking a revenue increase of $82 million to support significant investments in critical infrastructure, which will modernize and enhance the natural gas system and allow us to continue delivering safe and reliable natural gas service and reduce methane emissions. In addition, the filing proposes enhanced energy efficiency and customer safety programs, increased customer assistance with additional low-income funding, and the continuation of small business grant programs. We expect an order in the fourth quarter of 2022. Finally, ComEd filed its annual distribution formula rate update with the Illinois Commerce Commission on April 15th, seeking a $199 million increase to electric distribution base rates that results in a $2.20 increase in the average monthly residential bill starting January 2023. While ComEd is requesting a delivery charge increase, there will be offsets. Specifically, when taking into account higher energy prices based on the recent procurement auction and forwards, offset by lowered capacity prices, the carbon mitigation credits, and accelerated tax benefits, we currently estimate a net reduction to the average monthly residential bill. ComEd's residential customer rates next January are expected to be at least 10% below the average of rates in the 10 largest U.S. metropolitan areas. In its final formula rate filing, ComEd's request supports investments needed to sustain the record-level reliability performance for residential and commercial customers and helps advance the goals of the Climate and Equitable Jobs Act passed in Illinois to address climate change, create clean energy jobs, ensure equity, and prioritize a just transition to a green economy. We expect to receive an order by early December. We continue to have constructive regulatory relationships across our jurisdictions and are working with our regulators, our states, and our communities to support their clean energy and climate goals. As a reminder, we expect nearly 100% of our rate-based growth will be covered by alternative recovery mechanisms by the end of our planning period. More details on these rate cases can be found on slides 17 through 20 of the appendix. Slide nine provides an update on how Exelon's utilities are working with key stakeholders to help our customers and jurisdictions achieve their decarbonization goals reliably, affordably, and equitably. Electric vehicle adoption is unquestionably a key enabler for reducing emissions, as the transportation sector currently represents about a third of total U.S. greenhouse gas emissions. Our jurisdictions alone are targeting 4.2 million electric vehicles on the road over the next 25 years, a 20-fold increase relative to the number of EVs in our service territories as of the end of 2021. Given our competitive rates, electric vehicles also provide our customers the ability to save money. Using the Department of Energy's e-gallon calculations, The annual cost of an electric vehicle is approximately $1.30 per gallon compared to the price of gasoline at $4.30 per gallon. On average, customers in Exelon service territories could save more than $1,000 per year in fuel costs by switching to an EV. Utilizing Exelon's EV time of use rates could offer an additional 11% savings per year. And while we recognize there are adoption costs and other barriers to entry, we value the role we play in bridging social equity gaps. Working with our jurisdictions, we bridge those gaps through programs like those authorized in the Climate Solutions Now Act in Maryland, which allows utilities to partner with local school boards and offer up to $50 million in rebates to incentivize the purchase and operations of electric school buses. And the benefits are not inclusive to EV buyers. As more energy use applications leverage the grid, fixed costs will naturally be lower for customers who have not yet made the switch to electric vehicles. As our states make this transition over the coming decades, Exelon is poised to support our customers through investments such as upgraded distribution circuitry, substation, and ultimately transmission. Transforming the grid over this period to meet the increased standards required by EVs, along with other expanded and innovative uses of the grid, will require significant investment. Our path to clean encourages customers and communities to reduce their emissions through access to clean energy solutions. When establishing our goals, The focus was not solely on the environment, but also on equity, affordability, reliability, and sustaining our communities. The role we are playing in the transformation of the transportation sector is a great example of this commitment. Moving to slide 10, during the first quarter, we continued to invest capital for the benefit of our customers, and are on track to meet our $6.9 billion commitment for 2022. These investments will improve reliability and resiliency, enhance service for our customers, and prepare the grid for a clean energy future. As we have done on past earnings calls, I'd like to feature two projects within our portfolio of utility investments. The first is PEPCO's Harvard substation rebuild. This substation is part of a larger capital grid project and is currently under construction with expected completion in 2023. This $220 million project will renovate aging infrastructure originally installed over a century ago to improve grid reliability and resiliency. The rebuild also expands regional transmission capacity supporting future load growth in Washington, D.C. The second project is ComEd's $39 million project goal frame. ComEd completed its last fall three months ahead of schedule to meet the customer's accelerated project timeline. To service new load obligations at the data center and the surrounding area, ComEd installed a new 138 AV substation and associated equipment, including an indoor control building, 15 138 AV circuit breakers, four capacitor banks, and transmission line extensions to the DeKalb area in Illinois. This was the first large-scale project resulting from the passage of Illinois' data center tax incentive program in 2019. It also likely create additional renewable energy projects in the state as 100% of customer usage will be offset by wind and solar contracts. Both projects are great examples of how we are connecting our customers and communities to affordable, clean, and resilient solutions while enabling economic growth and local job creation through these modernization investments. These projects in their own right have significant economic and social benefits to our customers and community served. However, combined, they represent less than 1% of Exelon's projected capital spend from 2022 to 25. This puts in perspective the scale and the impact of our investments. Moving on to slide 11, as you've heard us say at Analyst Day, Our consolidated corporate credit metrics are anticipated to average 13 to 14% at S&P and Moody's over the 2022 to 24 time period. And overall, maintaining a strong balance sheet to firmly support investment grade credit ratings remains core to our strategy and who we are. From a financing perspective, we successfully completed a $2 billion corporate debt offering in the first quarter, which completes our long-term debt financing needs at corporate for the year. This inaugural offering as a new company garnered significant interest from investors, enabling a very strong execution that was a true testament to the strength of our balance sheet and our new platform. And finally, there has been no change in our guidance to issue $1 billion of equity at the holding company by 2025. Thank you, and I'll now turn the call back to Chris for his closing remarks.

Thanks, Joe. Turning to slide 12, I'll close by reminding you all of Excellence Value Proposition as the premier T&D-only company in the nation. a great deal of value in scale, size and scale, which is particularly beneficial given the challenges posed in today's microeconomic environment and the storm intensity, as I mentioned earlier over the weekend. We continue to be able to move resources and continue to be able to procure required resources needs in the right environment. Our best in class operations that have led us to a world class customer experience in constructive regulatory environments, which is key if your customers are not satisfied, the regulators aren't satisfied, and that's a major focus of us. Our commitment to ESG principles, by driving to a cleaner energy economy and advancing social equity, as Joe mentioned, and a strong balance sheet that will ensure our ability to invest on behalf of all of our stakeholders, not only the customers, but those that want to see a stronger, cleaner environment. All of these factors support our opportunity to invest $29 billion of capital over the next four years in response to our customer needs, which will lead to an annualized 6% to 8% operating earnings growth through 2025. And we've targeted the payout of 60% of those operating earnings each year back to the shareholders. Thank you very much for joining us. And now we'll open it up for questions. that you may have.

Ladies and gentlemen, if you'd like to ask a question, simply press star, then the number one on your telephone keypad. If you'd like to withdraw your question, press the pound key. Please stand by while we compile the Q&A roster. And our first question, coming from the lineup, Paul Zimbardo from Bank of America. Your line is open.

Hi, good morning. Thank you. Good morning. I'm going to kick it off. If you could give a little bit more quantification of the net impact between the higher interest rate environment on the formula ROE in Illinois offset by the corporate costs. And it seems like a net positive mixing those two together. So just want to check if there's any other factors to be cognizant of as well. Joe, you want to take that?

Yeah, I will, Chris. Good morning, Paul, and thanks for the question. When you look at the sensitivities we've shown you in the table, a 50 basis point move in Treasury rates is worth about 4 cents to come in, which is what we saw at the end of the first quarter. And that was about a penny of that was realized the way the formula prices is over the course of the year. So we've subsequently seen those rates move higher here in the second quarter. On the flip side to that is when you look at our corporate debt, we show you a sensitivity to a 50 basis point move is about a penny impact. And so that move of about roughly 100 basis points or so in the third year over the year to date is down about two cents. And those are the two big drivers of each of those variables.

Okay, great. That's helpful. Thank you. It does seem positive. And then the other, I know you said no changes to the equity issuance expectations. Just if you could discuss the approach to the timing and methodology, maybe a block or ATM, just given the appreciation of not just X1, but the utility sector broadly. Thanks.

Yeah, I think, you know, as we've said, we're expecting to issue up to a billion dollars. We haven't said necessarily when we're going to issue that, and the timing will be dependent on market conditions as well as the need for the cash itself, obviously. I mean, there's a lot of things changing in the macro environment when you look at interest rates and obviously what the equity market's doing. And we'll work with our banking partners to make a determination at the time we need the equity or the cash as to what type of product. final determination.

Yeah, and I think the key, Joe, on that is watching the solid balance sheet metrics and ensuring that we continue to focus on that.

Yeah, that's right, Chris. I mean, you and I both said in our scripts, right, we're investing $29 billion here over the next four years. And what we said at Analyst Day is You know, $14 billion of that will become off of internal generated cash flows of the utilities, $14 billion of debt we raise across the enterprise, and then about, you know, the need for the billion dollars. We just haven't made a determination as to when we need it.

Okay, I appreciate that. Thank you both.

Our next question coming from the line of Steve Flashman from Wolf Research. Your line is open.

Yeah, hi. Good morning, everybody. So just to want to clarify some of the adjustments, not looking backward, but maybe looking more forward, the $0.64 in the quarter I think includes $0.02 related to that last month of constellation. So if we look to 23 in the future, would $0.66 essentially be the right base? to kind of forecast from other drivers in the future?

Yes, Steve. Thanks for the question, and good morning. You're right. I mean, if you're talking about the performance of the business in the first quarter and removing the impact of discontinued operations, it was $0.66. When you compare that to Q1 for 21, the equivalent number would be $0.64. You're also right. The impact in Q1, because we have to recast the whole quarter, was $0.09, but because we closed the separation February 1st, it's only a one-month impact. In 2022, we would expect that one month to effectively drag into the comparisons that you see in 2023 next year because of the month of January this year.

Okay, great. And then just the ROE improvement that you're expecting over the course of the year, is that just kind of the normal rate relief flowing through and things like that? There's no other kind of key new drivers required to get the earned returns up?

It's a little lumpy, but as the rate cases go through, we expect the improvement to go within our, our range of nine to 10%. Um, and we just have to execute on the plan. So, you know, 8.9 right now should come up Joe, um, within a few quarters and we'll, we'll be within our range of desire.

That's correct. Chris, we're, we'll be in that nine to 10% range by year end. Steve, we, we, um, infused equity into the utilities in the first quarter. The earnings were up, but they weren't up enough to offset that equity infusion, and it just takes some time to reverse that effectively.

Great. Got it. Thank you.

And our next question coming from the line of Jeremy Tunnett from JP Morgan. Your line is open.

Hi. Good morning. Good morning. Good morning.

Good morning.

Just want to go over to Illinois here real quick and wonder if you could update us a bit how the Illinois rate-making process is progressing in the transition to its new multi-year framework. Any color you could share there would be helpful.

Joe, you're going to cover that.

Please repeat the question for me. I'm sorry. I didn't hear it.

Just as far as Illinois rate-making process progressing, you know, in the transition to its new multi-year framework. Any color you could share there on the progress?

Hey, good morning, Jeremy. Chris, this is at Calvin. I'll take that one. ComEd, as Chris outlined, ComEd filed its last rate case under the formula rate this year, and they are preparing a meeting with stakeholders, including the Illinois Commerce Commission, for their first filing of whether it's a traditional future test year, or whether they go into a four-year multi-plan, your plan is outlined by the new energy law. The meetings with the stakeholders is critical in that, as ComEd lays out its options. And as Chris outlined, they will be making that filing the first part, January, first quarter of 2023, with an expected ruling from the commission by the end of the year. So to your direct question, the transition is going smoothly. All the meetings are being done and met, and the team is lining up on what is the appropriate course moving forward.

Got it. That's very helpful. Thank you for that. And just, you know, with the new look, Exelon here, just wondering how do corporate cost efforts currently stand since the separation? Are they tracking your expectations at this point? Do you have any sense for our upside opportunities and potential magnitude of cost savings over time now post-separation here?

Yeah, I wouldn't commit to upside yet. We've got to get through this transition. There's a lot of work being done by the business services company to execute on plan. We're on plan right now, and we feel comfortable. We watch the IT transition quite closely. That's one that... can't get away from us, you know, separating the financial, separating the operational, separating the common databases is it's crucial to making our targets. And right now we're on track and we hope to improve on it, but I wouldn't commit to any significant improvement at this point. we have to continue to work through the process of the separation. It's astounding how much work has got to be done. And it is on track, but there's a lot of people focused on it. Look at the financials itself, you know, separating that, looking at the operational costs, uh, integration, um, separating that it's, it's, it's quite extensive. So we have the right leadership with Bridget Reedy. Um, and, um, we continue to focus on it. Uh, some areas might be a little bit, um, faster than, um, than we anticipated, um, based on the push from constellation and Exelon, but, um, Yeah, too early to predict an upside.

Got it. That's helpful. I'll leave it there. Thanks.

Thanks.

Our last question coming from the line-up, their guest, Chopra, with Evercore ISI. Your line is open.

Hey, good morning, team. I have a quick clarification and then a big-picture question on EVs. Just, Chris, I think you mentioned, if I heard it correctly, an order in the third quarter on the – Illinois, I believe the multi-year rate framework, and I believe that relates to the discussions on metrics, operational metrics that are sort of adders to the ROE. Did I hear that correctly?

I wouldn't say it's the third quarter, Kelvin. It's at the end of 2023 that would be finalized. But we did put in our input for the metrics, the operational metrics to ensure the customer satisfaction. But your timeline, Calvin.

Chris, you're right. We did put something in on metrics, and we would expect to get a response back on that in the timeline that

metrics as we've outlined, as you hit, Chris, the eight performance metrics that they're looking for. And it's outlined by the statute, by the law, and Gil and his team are working to drive what those are and get an agreement and alignment to how we move forward. But yes, we think within that, we know within the filing, those will all be locked down and our filing will take place in the first quarter of 2023.

Got it. But just to be clear, the sort of the stance or the commission order as to what those metrics might look like and, you know, what those, like, both qualitatively and quantitatively, that comes in later in 2023? By 930...

Right. By 9.30 this year, we will have outlines, therefore allowing the team to prepare for the rate case filing in the first quarter of 2023. We will know exactly what they are and how they will impact the business positively and or negatively if those metrics aren't met.

Perfect. Thank you, guys. I appreciate you clarifying that. So in the third quarter, we'll know what those metrics are, and that will dictate your filing in the first quarter of 2023. Correct.

Correct.

Okay, thanks. And then just a quick follow-up on EVs. Thank you guys for sharing sort of the illustrative, you know, EV charging costs versus gas fueling costs, tremendously helpful. Maybe just very high level, and I appreciate this is a long-dated opportunity. Is there a way to kind of think about the CapEx opportunity associated with this increased, lowest demand? And I appreciate it's over sort of our 20, 30-year period.

Each one of our jurisdictions have a different focus on And we're trying to work through those. But we do see, and I'll let Calvin speak to it, we do see potential upside in the demand required to support the EVs. And for us, it's the infrastructure costs that we have to put in. We're changing voltage levels up from 4160 to 13-8 to ensure that you've got not only the distributed generation, but you can service the EV demand in working in the different jurisdictions on how that is framed is important. Calvin, I don't know if you want to add anything there.

I'll provide you some specific numbers. Chris is exactly right that each of our jurisdictions has approached this some more aggressive and others just taking a staggered approach. Let's put it in terms of this. Right now, across our territories, we have approximately 215,000 EVs on the road out of the roughly 17 million vehicle registrants. Here, under current statute, the laws that have been passed, so let me just tell you about the degrees of pace. In Maryland, they have said they want 300,000 EVs on the road by 2025. New Jersey, 330 by 2025, and 2 million by 2035. Illinois' law requires or says 1 million by 2030, and then in Delaware, 20%. of the state registered vehicles by 2025, D.C. 25% by 2030, and 100% by 2045. And Pennsylvania is looking to replace 25% of its vehicles into transitioning to EVs. That just goes to show you the opportunity. And when you look at the infrastructure that is going to be required to meet that and all of our capital plan, we see the opportunity across the Exelon utilities. So to Chris's point, all different, but significant opportunity for us to be partners in building out that infrastructure and preparing the grid.

Got it. Thank you, guys, for taking time to answer my question. Sounds like a significant infrastructure opportunity for you guys, as it is for the utilities and some of the states here moving faster than others in your territory. Thank you again.

Yeah, and for the customers also, that's our major focus is continuing to look forward to service the customer needs. But I thank you for joining the call today. We're looking forward to our continuing consistent performance we've delivered across our utilities. And with that, Jean, unless there's anything else, I'll close the call.

Thanks, Chris.

Thanks, everybody. Bye.

Ladies and gentlemen, thanks to all our participants for joining us today. This concludes our presentation. You may now disconnect. Have a good day.
