Forward Looking Statements Disclosure

Certain statements made in this presentation are forward-looking statements and may contain words such as “believes,” “anticipates,” “expects,” “intends,” “plans,” and other similar words. We also disclose non-historical information that represents management’s expectations, which are based on numerous assumptions. These statements are not guarantees of future performance and are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to be materially different from projected results. These risks include, but are not limited to: the timing and extent of changes in commodity prices and volatilities for energy and energy-related products including coal, natural gas, oil, electricity, nuclear fuel and emissions allowances and the impact of such changes on our liquidity requirements; the liquidity and competitiveness of wholesale and retail markets for energy commodities; the conditions of the capital markets, interest rates, foreign exchange rates, availability of credit facilities to support business requirements, liquidity and general economic conditions, as well as Constellation Energy’s and BGE’s ability to maintain their current credit ratings; the effectiveness of Constellation Energy’s and BGE’s risk management policies and procedures and the ability and willingness of our counterparties to satisfy their financial and performance commitments; losses on the sale or write-down of assets due to impairment events or changes in management intent with regard to either holding or selling certain assets; the ability to successfully identify, finance and complete acquisitions and sales of businesses and assets, including generating facilities, and new nuclear generation development projects; the effect of weather and general economic and business conditions on energy supply, demand, and prices, and customers' and counterparties' ability to perform their obligations or make payments; the ability to attract and retain customers in our customer supply activities and to adequately forecast their energy usage; the timing and extent of deregulation of, and competition in, the energy markets, and the rules and regulations adopted in those markets; regulatory or legislative developments federally, in Maryland, or in other states that affect energy regulation, the price of energy, transmission or distribution rates and revenues, demand for energy, or that would increase costs, including costs related to safety or environmental compliance; the ability of our regulated and non-regulated businesses to comply with complex and/or changing market rules and regulations; the ability of BGE to recover all its costs associated with providing customers service; operational factors affecting the operations of our generating facilities and BGE’s transmission and distribution facilities, including weather-related damages, unscheduled outages or repairs, unanticipated changes in fuel costs or availability, unavailability of coal or gas transportation or electric transmission services, workforce issues, terrorism, liabilities associated with catastrophic events, and other events beyond our control; the impact of industry consolidation; the impact of increased energy conservation and use of renewable energy; the actual outcome of uncertainties associated with assumptions and estimates requiring judgment when managing our business, applying critical accounting policies and preparing financial statements, including factors that are estimated in determining the fair value of energy contracts, such as the ability to obtain market prices and in the absence of verifiable market prices, the appropriateness of models and model inputs (including, but not limited to estimated contractual load obligations, unit availability, forward commodity prices, interest rates, correlation and volatility factors); changes in accounting principles or practices; and cost and other effects of legal and administrative proceedings that may not be covered by insurance, including environmental liabilities. Given these uncertainties, you should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements. Please see our periodic reports filed with the SEC for more information on these factors. These forward-looking statements represent estimates and assumptions only as of the date of this presentation, and no duty is undertaken to update them to reflect new information, events or circumstances.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Constellation Energy presents adjusted earnings per share (adjusted EPS) in addition to its reported earnings per share in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (reported GAAP EPS). Adjusted EPS is a non-GAAP financial measure that differs from reported GAAP EPS because it excludes the cumulative effects of changes in accounting principles, discontinued operations, special items (which we define as significant items that are not related to our ongoing, underlying business or which distort comparability of results) included in operations, the impact of certain economic, non-qualifying hedges and synfuel earnings. The mark-to-market impact of these hedges has been significant to reported results, but economically neutral to the company in that offsetting gains or losses on underlying accrual positions will be recognized in the future. Synfuel earnings have been excluded due to the potential for oil-price volatility to result in a difficult-to-forecast phase-out of tax credits. Effective in 2009, we are no longer adjusting our reported GAAP EPS for either synfuel earnings, due to the expiration of the tax credit, or non-qualifying hedges, which were related to activities conducted by our recently divested operations.

We present adjusted EPS because we believe that it is appropriate for investors to consider results excluding these items in addition to our results in accordance with GAAP. We believe such a measure provides a picture of our results that is more comparable among periods since it excludes the impact of items such as impairment losses, workforce reduction costs or gains and losses on the sale of assets, which may recur occasionally, but tend to be irregular as to timing, thereby distorting comparisons between periods. However, investors should note that this non-GAAP measure involves judgment by management (in particular, judgment as to what is classified as a special item to be excluded from adjusted earnings). This non-GAAP measure is also used to evaluate management’s performance and for compensation purposes.

Constellation Energy also provides its earnings guidance in terms of adjusted EPS. Constellation Energy is unable to reconcile its guidance to GAAP earnings per share because we do not predict the future impact of special items due to the difficulty of doing so. In the past, the impact of special items has been material to our operating results computed in accordance with GAAP. Our earnings guidance excludes results of the UniStar joint venture and any impact from the operations and divestiture of our international commodities , Houston-based gas trading , international uranium marketing and west power trading operations, in addition to any other special items that may occur.

We note that non-GAAP measures should not be viewed as a substitute to GAAP information. A reconciliation of non-GAAP information to GAAP information is included either on the slide where the information appears or on one of the slides in the Non-GAAP Measures section provided at the end of the presentation, along with additional information on why and how Constellation Energy uses this information. Please see the Summary of Non-GAAP Measures to find the appropriate GAAP reconciliation and related slide(s). These slides are only intended to be reviewed in conjunction with the oral presentation to which they relate.

Economic Value at Risk (EVaR)

(1) Economic Value at Risk (EVaR) represents the maximum one day loss of economic value for our total portfolio assuming no new trades are executed.  It is estimated as a 1-in-20 day event, or with a 95% Confidence Interval. All generation, customer supply, commodities and businesses for sale portfolio positions are included in the Economic Value at Risk calculation. 

(2) Unit VaR is the Value at Risk per unit of the respective commodity and represents the cost of VaR

EVaR has declined 17% since the end of Q309, driven by the close of EDF JV transaction. Since last year, EVaR has declined 46% due to an overall decrease in unit VaR and the

successful completion of business transactions.

Wholesale Portfolio Credit Quality

Note: Based on internal credit ratings Subject to change pending filing of 2009 Form 10-K

During Q4’09, total wholesale exposure increased, largely due to the addition of exposure to Constellation Energy Nuclear Group. Non-investment grade counterparties now account for less than 13% of total exposure. Since last year, wholesale exposure has decreased 38%.

Adjusted EPS 2009, 2008 and Quarterly – Consolidated

We exclude special items and certain economic, non-qualifying hedges because we believe that it is appropriate for investors to consider results excluding these items, in addition to our results in accordance with GAAP. We have also adjusted earnings to exclude synfuel results due to the potential volatility and phase-out of the tax credits. We believe such a measure provides a picture of our results that is comparable among periods since it excludes the impact of items, which may recur occasionally, but tend to be irregular as to timing and magnitude, thereby distorting comparisons between periods. However, investors should note that this non-GAAP measure involves judgment by management (in particular, judgments as to what is or is not classified as a special item). We also use this measure to evaluate performance and for compensation purposes. Effective in 2009, we are no longer adjusting our Reported GAAP EPS for synfuel earnings, due to the expiration of the tax credit, and non-qualifying hedges, which were related to activities conducted by our recently divested operations.

We exclude special items and certain economic, non-qualifying hedges because we believe that it is appropriate for investors to consider results excluding these items, in addition to our results in accordance with GAAP. We have also adjusted earnings to exclude synfuel results due to the potential volatility and phase-out of the tax credits. We believe such a measure provides a picture of our results that is comparable among periods since it excludes the impact of items, which may recur occasionally, but tend to be irregular as to timing and magnitude, thereby distorting comparisons between periods. However, investors should note that this non-GAAP measure involves judgment by management (in particular, judgments as to what is or is not classified as a special item). We also use this measure to evaluate performance and for compensation purposes. Effective in 2009, we are no longer adjusting our Reported GAAP EPS for synfuel earnings, due to the expiration of the tax credit, and non-qualifying hedges, which were related to activities conducted by our recently divested operations.

Funds From Operations

The non-GAAP financial measure of Funds from Operations (FFO) is a non-GAAP measure that approximates recurring cash flows from operations exclusive of all non-cash items and working capital. We utilize this non-GAAP measure as it is helpful in understanding our recurring operating cash performance as earnings generally include large non-cash items.
