CON EDISON REPORTS 2021 FIRST QUARTER EARNINGS
NEW YORK - Consolidated Edison, Inc. (Con Edison) (NYSE: ED) today reported 2021 first quarter net income for common stock of $419 million or $1.23 a share compared with $375 million or $1.13 a share in the 2020 first quarter. Adjusted earnings were $491 million or $1.44 a share in the 2021 period compared with $451 million or $1.35 a share in the 2020 period. Adjusted earnings and adjusted earnings per share in the 2021 period exclude the impact of the impairment loss related to Con Edison's investment in Stagecoach Gas Services, LLC (Stagecoach). Adjusted earnings and adjusted earnings per share in the 2021 and 2020 periods exclude the effects of hypothetical liquidation at book value (HLBV) accounting for tax equity investments in certain renewable and sustainable electric production projects of Con Edison Clean Energy Businesses, Inc. (the Clean Energy Businesses) and the net mark-to-market effects of the Clean Energy Businesses.
“Con Edison is leading the way to a clean energy future with its investments in renewable energy, electric vehicle infrastructure, and energy efficiency,” said Timothy P. Cawley, the company’s president and chief executive officer. “Delivering energy safely and reliably is always a top priority, and our workforce continues to provide value for shareholders and all New Yorkers during this challenging time.”
For the year of 2021, Con Edison reaffirmed its previous forecast of adjusted earnings per share to be in the range of $4.15 to $4.35 per share. Adjusted earnings per share exclude the impact of the impairment loss related to Con Edison's investment in Stagecoach (($0.35) a share after-tax), the effects of HLBV accounting for tax equity investments in certain renewable and sustainable electric production projects of the Clean Energy Businesses (approximately $0.23 a share after-tax) and the net mark-to-market effects of the Clean Energy Businesses, the amount of which will not be determinable until year end.
See Attachment A to this press release for a reconciliation of Con Edison’s reported earnings per share to adjusted earnings per share and reported net income for common stock to adjusted earnings for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020. See Attachment B for the estimated effect of major factors resulting in variations in earnings per share and net income for common stock for the three months ended March 31, 2021 compared to the 2020 period.
The company's 2021 First Quarter Form 10-Q is being filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. A first quarter 2021 earnings release presentation will be available at www.conedison.com. (Select "For Investors" and then select "Press Releases.")

This press release contains forward-looking statements that are intended to qualify for the safe-harbor provisions of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Forward-looking statements are statements of future expectations and not facts. Words such as "forecasts," "expects," "estimates," "anticipates," "intends," "believes," "plans," "will," "target," "guidance" and similar expressions identify forward-looking statements. The forward-looking statements reflect information available and assumptions at the time the statements are made, and accordingly speak only as of that time.
Actual results or developments might differ materially from those included in the forward-looking statements because of various factors such as those identified in reports Con Edison has filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including that Con Edison's subsidiaries are extensively regulated and are subject to penalties; its utility subsidiaries' rate plans may not provide a reasonable return; it may be adversely affected by changes to the utility subsidiaries' rate plans; the failure of, or damage to, its subsidiaries' facilities could adversely affect it; a cyber-attack could adversely affect it; the failure of processes and systems and the performance of employees and contractors could adversely affect it; it is exposed to risks from the environmental consequences of its subsidiaries' operations, including increased costs related to climate change; a disruption in the wholesale energy markets or failure by an energy supplier or customer could adversely affect it; it has substantial unfunded pension and other postretirement benefit liabilities; its ability to pay dividends or interest depends on dividends from its subsidiaries; it requires access to capital markets to satisfy funding requirements; changes to tax laws could adversely affect it; its strategies may not be effective to address changes in the external business environment; it faces risks related to health epidemics and other outbreaks, including the COVID-19 pandemic; and it also faces other risks that are beyond its control. Con Edison assumes no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by law.
This press release also contains financial measures, adjusted earnings and adjusted earnings per share, that are not determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (GAAP). These non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered as an alternative to net income for common stock or net income per share, respectively, each of which is an indicator of financial performance determined in accordance with GAAP. Adjusted earnings and adjusted earnings per share exclude from net income for common stock and net income per share, respectively, certain items that Con Edison does not consider indicative of its ongoing financial performance such as the impairment loss related to Con Edison's investment in Stagecoach, the effects of the Clean Energy Businesses' HLBV accounting for tax equity investors in certain renewable and sustainable electric production projects and mark-to-market accounting. Management uses these non-GAAP financial measures to facilitate the analysis of Con Edison's financial performance as compared to its internal budgets and previous financial results and to communicate to investors and others Con Edison's expectations regarding its future earnings and dividends on its common stock. Management believes that these non-GAAP financial measures are also useful and meaningful to investors to facilitate their analysis of Con Edison's financial performance.

Accordingly, such costs do not generally affect Con Edison’s results of operations. | |||||||||||

Adjusted EBITDA for the CEBs refers to the CEBs' net income for common stock, excluding the effects of HLBV and mark-to-market accounting, before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization plus the pre-tax equivalent of production tax credits. Management uses adjusted earnings and adjusted EPS to facilitate the analysis of Con Edison's financial performance as compared to its internal budgets and previous financial results and to communicate to investors and others Con Edison's expectations regarding its future earnings and dividends on its common stock. Management uses the CEBs' adjusted EBITDA to evaluate the performance of the CEBs.

Under the revenue decoupling mechanisms in the Utilities’ New York electric and gas rate plans and the weather-normalization clause applicable to their gas businesses, revenues are generally not affected by changes in delivery volumes from levels assumed when rates were approved. In general, the Utilities recover on a current basis the fuel, gas purchased for resale and purchased power costs they incur in supplying energy to their full-service customers. Accordingly, such costs do not generally affect Con Edison’s results of operations.

1Q 2021 Developments(a) 12 CECONY & O&R • CECONY’s and O&R’s allowances for uncollectible customer accounts reserve increased from $138 million and $8.7 million at December 31, 2020 to $171 million and $9.6 million at March 31, 2021, respectively (page 49) • In March 2020, New York State Governor Cuomo declared a State Disaster Emergency for the State of New York due to the COVID-19 pandemic and signed the "New York State on PAUSE" executive order that closed all non-essential businesses statewide. In March 2020, the Utilities began suspending service disconnections, certain collection notices, final bill collection agency activity, new late payment charges and certain other fees for all customers. The Utilities also began providing payment extensions for all customers that were scheduled to be disconnected prior to the start of the COVID-19 pandemic. In June 2020, the state of New York enacted a law prohibiting New York utilities, including CECONY and O&R, from disconnecting residential customers during the COVID-19 state of emergency. In addition, such prohibition will apply for an additional 180 days after the state of emergency ends for residential customers who have experienced a change in financial circumstances due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The law expires on March 31, 2021, although legislation has been introduced to extend the expiration date until December 31, 2021 or later. For the three months ended March 31, 2021, the estimated fees that were not billed by the Utilities were approximately $17 million for CECONY and $1 million for O&R. These unbilled amounts have reduced and may continue to reduce liquidity at the Utilities. (page 50) • In April 2021, CECONY filed a petition with the NYSPSC to timely establish a surcharge recovery mechanism for $52 million of late payment charges and fees, offset for related savings, for the year ended December 31, 2020 to begin in September 2021 and end in December 2022. The petition also requests a surcharge recovery or surcredit mechanism for any fee deferrals for 2021 and 2022 starting in January of the subsequent year over a twelve-month period, respectively. (page 22) • Administrative law judges have been appointed and hearings have been scheduled for CECONY and O&R to commence in September 2021 regarding the show cause orders for Tropical Storm Isaias. The Utilities have not accrued a liability related to this matter and are unable to determine the outcome of this proceeding at this time. (page 25) • In April 2021, New York State passed a law that increases the corporate franchise tax rate on business income from 6.5% to 7.25%, retroactive to January 1, 2021, for taxpayers with taxable income greater than $5 million. The law also reinstated the business capital tax at 0.1875%, not to exceed a maximum tax liability of $5 million per taxpayer. The provisions are not expected to have a material impact on the Companies’ financial position, results of operations or liquidity. (page 35) a. Page references to 1Q 2021 Form 10-Q.
1Q 2021 Developments (cont'd)(a) 13 CECONY & O&R • The Utilities’ New York rate plans allow them to defer costs resulting from a change in legislation, regulation and related actions that have taken effect during the term of the rate plans once the costs exceed a specified threshold. As of March 31, 2021, the reserve increases to the allowance for uncollectible accounts associated with the COVID-19 pandemic for CECONY electric and gas operations and O&R electric and gas operations were $106 million and $4 million, respectively, and were deferred pursuant to the legislative, regulatory and related actions provisions of the rate plans as a result of the New York State on PAUSE and related executive orders. The Utilities’ New York rate plans also provide for an allowance for write-offs of customer accounts receivable balances. The above amounts deferred pursuant to the legislative, regulatory and related actions provisions were reduced by the amount that the actual write-offs of customer accounts receivable balances were below the allowance reflected in rates (due to the New York State on PAUSE and related executive orders), which differences were $18 million and $2 million for CECONY and O&R, respectively, as of March 31, 2021. (page 22) • In April 2021, New York State passed a law that creates a program that allows eligible residential renters in New York State who require assistance with rent and utility bills to have up to twelve months of electric and gas utility bill arrears forgiven, provided that such arrears were accrued on or after March 13, 2020. The program will be administered by the State Office of Temporary Disability Assistance in coordination with the New York State Department of Public Service and the NYSPSC. Under the program, CECONY and O&R would qualify for a refundable tax credit for New York State gross-receipts tax equal to the amount of arrears waived by the Utilities in the year that the arrears are waived and certified by the NYSPSC. (page 23) • Compliance with 2019 New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (NYSDEC) limits on nitrous oxides (NOx) emissions during the ozone season from May through September will require affected fossil-fueled generating units (approximately 1,400 MW in CECONY's service territory, of which 65 MW is owned by CECONY) to cease operation during the ozone season, install emission controls, repower, or retire by 2023 or 2025. In April 2021, the NYSPSC approved CECONY’s December 2020 petition to recover $780 million of costs to construct the Reliable Clean City (RCC) projects to solve the local reliability needs. (page 47) a. Page references to 1Q 2021 Form 10-Q.
1Q 2021 Developments (cont'd)(a) 14 Clean Energy Businesses • The Clean Energy Businesses have 3,240 MW (AC) of utility-scale renewable energy production projects in service (2,809 MW) or in construction (431 MW) and 66 MW (AC) of behind-the-meter renewable energy production projects in service (62 MW) or in construction (4 MW). (page 69) • 1,211 of kWh of electricity was generated from solar projects and 342 of kWh generated from wind projects for the three months ended March 31, 2021 (page 70) • In April 2021, a subsidiary of the Clean Energy Businesses entered into an agreement to sell substantially all of its membership interests in one operating project that it developed and all of its membership interests in a second operating project that it acquired in 2016. The combined carrying value of both projects is approximately $200 million as of March 31, 2021. The closing of the sales, which are expected to occur by the end of the second quarter of 2021, are subject to certain regulatory approvals by FERC and the satisfaction of other closing conditions, and are not expected to have a material impact on Con Edison’s results of operations. (page 45) Con Edison Transmission • Con Edison Transmission owns, through subsidiaries, a 50 percent interest in Stagecoach, a joint venture that owns and operates an existing gas pipeline and storage business located in northeastern Pennsylvania and the southern tier of New York. Con Edison is in the process of considering strategic alternatives regarding its 50 percent interest in Stagecoach. As a result of information made available to Stagecoach as part of that process, Stagecoach performed a goodwill impairment test that resulted in Stagecoach recording a goodwill impairment charge of $343 million at March 31, 2021. Accordingly, Con Edison recorded a pre-tax loss on its interest in Stagecoach of $172 million ($120 million after-tax) within "Investment income/ (loss)" on Con Edison's consolidated income statement at March 31, 2021 that reduced the carrying value of its investment in Stagecoach from $839 million to $667 million. (page 20) • In May 2021, the operator of the Mountain Valley Pipeline, which is being constructed by a joint venture in which CET Gas owns an 11.2 percent interest (that is expected to be reduced to 8.5 percent based on the current project cost estimate and CET Gas’ previous capping of its cash contributions to the joint venture) indicated that, subject to receipt of certain authorizations and resolution of certain challenges, it is now targeting an in-service date for the project of summer 2022 at an overall project cost of approximately $6,200 million excluding allowance for funds used during construction.
