Exelon expects to create substantial incremental balance sheet capacity over the next
five years, based on planning assumptions
(1) Available Cash after Dividend = Cash Flow from Operations - CapEx - Dividends +/- Net Financings. Cash Flow from Operations = Net cash flows provided by operating
activities less net cash flows used in investing activities other than capital expenditures. Net Financing (excluding Dividends) = Net cash flows used in financing activities
excluding dividends paid on common stock. Assumes annualized dividend of $2.00 /share in 2008, growing 5% annually; actual amounts may vary, subject to board approval.
(2) Available Cash after Dividend excludes any benefit from potential carbon impact.
(3) See “FFO Calculation and Ratios” definitions slide in Appendix. FFO / Debt includes: debt equivalents for purchased power agreements, unfunded pension and other
postretirement benefits obligations, capital adequacy for energy trading, and related imputed interest.
(4) As presented at Exelon’s 12/19/07 Investor Conference. Provided solely to illustrate possible future outcomes that are based on a number of different assumptions, all of which
11
are subject to uncertainties and should not be relied upon as a forecast of future results.
