Con Edison Transmission
•RECO
Con Edison’s principal business operations are those of the Utilities and Con Edison Transmission. CECONY’s principal business operations are its regulated electric, gas and steam delivery businesses. O&R’s principal business operations are its regulated electric and gas delivery businesses. Con Edison Transmission, a regulated company primarily under the oversight of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC), develops and invests in electric transmission projects and owns interests in electric assets. During the first quarter of 2026, Con Edison Transmission completed the sale of its approximately 6.6 percent equity interest in Mountain Valley Pipeline, LLC (MVP). In April 2026, CECONY and Con Edison Transmission entered into an agreement to sell their interests in Honeoye Storage Corporation (Honeoye) for $5 million in aggregate, of which approximately $1.5 million was attributed to CECONY, before certain closing adjustments and expenses. The closing is expected to occur following approval by the NYSPSC. See “Investments” in Note A to the Second Quarter Financial Statements and “Con Edison Transmission” below.
Con Edison seeks to provide shareholder value through continued dividend growth, supported by earnings growth in regulated utilities and electric transmission assets. Con Edison invests to provide reliable, resilient, safe and clean energy critical for its New York and New Jersey customers. Con Edison is a responsible neighbor, helping the communities it serves become more sustainable.
In addition to the risks and uncertainties described in Item 1A and the Companies’ material contingencies described in Notes B, G and H to the Second Quarter Financial Statements, the Companies’ management considers the following events, trends, and uncertainties to be important to understanding the Companies’ current and future financial condition.
47
Aged Accounts Receivable Balances
T1At June 30, 2026, CECONY’s and O&R’s customer accounts receivables balances of $2,898 million and $119 million, respectively, included aged accounts receivables (balances outstanding in excess of 60 days) of $1,385 million and $31 million, respectively. At December 31, 2025, CECONY’s and O&R’s customer accounts receivables balances of $2,970 million and $120 million, respectively, included aged accounts receivables (balances outstanding in excess of 60 days) of $1,427 million and $27 million, respectively. In comparison, CECONY’s and O&R’s customer accounts receivable balances at February 28, 2020 were $1,322 million and $89 million, respectively, including aged accounts receivables (balances outstanding in excess of 60 days) of $408 million and $15 million, respectively.
Prior to the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Utilities’ practice was to write off customer accounts receivables as uncollectible 90 days after the account is disconnected for non-payment or the account is closed during the collection process. In general, the Utilities suspended collection activities and service disconnections during the COVID-19 pandemic and have since resumed such activities.
CECONY’s rate plans include reconciliation of uncollectible expenses and late payment charges (from January 1, 2026 through December 31, 2028 for electric and gas and from January 1, 2020 through October 31, 2026 for steam), pursuant to which CECONY will calculate the annual difference between (i) its actual uncollectible expenses and late payment charges and (ii) the levels of uncollectible expenses and late payment charges provided in rates. In the event the actual net expenses (uncollectible expenses plus late payment charges) are below the amounts in rates, CECONY will defer the full variance as a regulatory liability and refund to customers via surcredit. In the event the actual net expenses are above the amounts in rates, CECONY will defer the full annual variance above $10 million ($8.5 million for electric and $1.5 million for gas) in 2026; above $15 million ($12.75 million for electric and $2.25 million for gas) in 2027; and above $20 million ($17.0 million for electric and $3.0 million for gas) in 2028; as a regulatory asset for recovery via surcharge.
Annual surcharge recovery is subject to a cap that produces no more than a 0.5 percent total customer bill impact per commodity. Amounts in excess of the surcharge caps will be deferred as a regulatory asset for future recovery in CECONY’s next base rate cases.
O&R’s rate plans for the three-year period January 2025 through December 2027 include reconciliation of uncollectible expenses and late payment charges that are subject to a combined annual threshold of $0.9 million and $0.5 million for electric and gas, respectively. Once the threshold is met, O&R will defer the variance between actual uncollectible expenses and late payment charges, and the level set forth in rates that is above the threshold. Recovery/refunds will be made via surcharge/surcredit. Surcharge recovery is subject to an annual cap that produces no more than a 0.5 percent total customer bill impact per commodity. Amounts in excess of the surcharge caps will be deferred as a regulatory asset for recovery in O&R’s next base rate cases.
Although these regulatory mechanisms are currently in place, the Utilities’ ability to effectively manage their customer accounts receivable balances and obtain recovery in rates for their respective carrying costs and any related write-offs could have a material impact on the Companies’ businesses. In addition, a continued slow recovery of accounts receivable balances has impacted and is expected to continue to impact the Companies’ liquidity.
T2The Utilities, in an effort to reduce aged accounts receivables balances, continue to execute on their integrated collections strategy, which includes, among other things, implementation of flexible payment arrangement options, enhanced targeted digital and mail communications to customers regarding collections and an increased presence of field collectors to support in-person account resolution. The Utilities have also strengthened their credit and collection efforts to better manage incoming inquiries and have instituted additional measures to manage outbound collection calls.
Electric Supply
Most of the electricity sold by CECONY to its full-service customers in 2025 was purchased through the wholesale electricity market administered by the New York Independent System Operator (NYISO). The company expects that resources will again be adequate to meet the requirements of its customers in 2026. See "Electric Reliability Needs," below. While supply margins are narrow in New York City pending the demonstration of planned power capability by the Champlain Hudson Power Express transmission line that entered commercial operation in May 2026, the NYISO’s energy and capacity markets and existing resources are projected to be sufficient to cover the supply requirement. The company plans to meet its continuing obligation to supply electricity to its full-service customers through a combination of electricity purchased under contract, purchased through the NYISO’s wholesale electricity market, or generated from its electricity generating facilities.
Electric Reliability Needs
CECONY and O&R monitor the adequacy of the electric capacity resources and related developments in their service areas and work with other parties on long-term resource adequacy and transmission security within the framework of the NYISO reliability planning process.
48
In July 2026, the NYISO issued its 2026 Quarter 2 Short-Term Assessment of Reliability Report, that, among other things, continued to identify reliability needs in New York City over the near-term planning horizon (i.e., 2026 - 2030). The report stated that previously identified reliability needs in New York City remain dependent on the timely completion and energization of planned transmission and generation projects, as well as the demonstration of planned power capability by the Champlain Hudson Power Express project that entered commercial operation in May 2026. The report further indicated that NYISO has designated certain generating units to remain available through May 1, 2029 to address ongoing reliability needs while planned solutions are implemented.
NYISO also indicated that with demand growth and the risk of aging generation, absent additional supply resources, reliability needs are likely to emerge beyond the report's near-term study horizon. CECONY will continue to monitor reliability assessments, regulatory developments and the progress of planned transmission and generation projects.
T3In July 2026, CECONY filed with the NYSPSC its updated Reliability Needs Report, which projects electric reliability needs in New York City of 125 MW beginning in 2033 and increasing to 675 MW by 2036. This report reflects a deferral of the need by one year and a reduction in the size of the need relative to the company’s January 2026 Reliability Needs Report. CECONY continues to project increasing long-term capacity shortfalls in its New York City transmission system, driven by load growth and generation retirements without new replacement generation materializing.
Also in July 2026, CECONY filed a reliability contingency plan with the NYSPSC to address transmission reliability needs in New York City. The plan emphasizes competitive procurement of clean energy resources, including transmission- and distribution-connected battery storage, while preserving flexibility to implement transmission infrastructure solutions, if necessary. CECONY requested regulatory approvals to support the competitive procurement of battery storage, including cost recovery. CECONY expects its proposed solutions, if approved, would be sufficient to address the identified ten-year reliability need through 2036 and will continue to evaluate evolving reliability forecasts, market conditions, technological developments and policy changes and provide updates to the NYSPSC.
Energy Affordability
There has been heightened legislative activity and public policy discussions regarding energy affordability. Substantial investments are needed to support an increasingly decarbonized electric grid that the Utilities, regulators and stakeholders must balance with the need for affordable rates. While the Companies continue to monitor energy affordability concerns, they are unable to predict additional legislative, executive, or regulatory measures that may result from energy affordability concerns. See “State Utility Regulation,” below.
Clean Energy Goals
The success of the Companies’ efforts to meet clean energy policy goals and the impact of energy consumers' efforts to meet such goals on CECONY’s electric, gas and steam businesses and O&R’s electric and gas businesses may impact the Companies’ future financial condition. T4The Utilities expect electric usage to increase and gas and steam usage to decrease in their service territories as laws and policies are enacted and implemented that aim to reduce the carbon intensity of the energy that is consumed in their respective jurisdictions. The Utilities’ and their regulators’ efforts to maintain electric reliability in their service territories as electric usage increases may also impact the Companies’ future financial condition.
The long-term future of the Utilities’ gas businesses depends upon the role that natural gas or other gaseous fuels will play in facilitating New York State’s and New York City’s climate goals. In addition, the impact and costs from climate change impacts on the Utilities’ systems and the success of the Utilities’ efforts to maintain system reliability and manage service interruptions resulting from severe weather may impact the Companies’ future financial condition, results of operations and liquidity.
State Utility Regulation
In May 2026, as part of New York State’s Fiscal Year 2026-2027 Enacted Budget, the state enacted Chapter 58 of
the Laws of 2026, which, among other things, amends and adds provisions to the Public Service Law governing
utility rate cases and addressing affordability. T5Effective for base rate filings submitted by the Utilities after January 1, 2027, Chapter 58: (i) requires the Utilities to submit, in addition to their recommended proposal, a budget-constrained rate plan that limits aggregate revenue increases to the average Consumer Price Index growth over the prior three years; (ii) directs the Utilities to return revenues above the authorized return on equity (ROE), with retention of up to 0.25% over the authorized ROE if certain criteria are met; (iii) further defines non-recoverable lobbying expenses and formalizes non-recoverability of public relations and goodwill advertising expenses; (iv) extends the NYSPSC’s authority to suspend a rate case to 14 months; and (v) authorizes approval of multi-year litigated rate plans. Chapter 58 further: (i) directs the NYSPSC to develop performance-based employee compensation targets and authorizes consideration of adjustments to ROE based on affordability performance; (ii)
49
directs the NYSPSC to establish rules limiting recovery of rate case expenses, including legal, consultant, expert and employee costs; (iii) requires affordability analyses in rate cases; and (iv) directs the NYSPSC to adopt rules for calculating a newly created Energy Affordability Index and to issue annual affordability reports. Chapter 58 also creates a temporary and independent commission to study rising utility rates, affordability and generation, including utility-owned renewable generation. The Utilities are continuing to assess the impact of the new law and the timing of their upcoming rate case filings. See “Energy Affordability,” above.
Federal Regulation
In February 2026, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that U.S. tariffs imposed under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA) on goods imported into the U.S. were unauthorized, but the ruling did not address the potential recovery of duties previously collected under the invalidated IEEPA tariffs. The Utilities are evaluating whether refunds of IEEPA tariffs paid through their third-party vendors are available to them.
T6Although tariffs have not had a significant impact on the Companies' operations or financial condition to date, the cost of materials has increased across various supply chain contract portfolios. If tariffs (other than the IEEPA tariffs) remain in place, the cost of materials is anticipated to continue to increase and also may lead to supply chain disruptions.
The Companies continue to assess tariffs and are unable to predict the impact on their operations or financial condition. In addition, the Companies continue to monitor the evolving legal and policy landscape related to tariffs and are unable to predict changes in laws, regulations, regulatory guidance, legal interpretations, policy positions or implementation actions that may result from these developments.
Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC)
In March 2026, the FERC issued an order regarding CECONY’s and other parties’ longstanding dispute with PJM Interconnection LLC (PJM) regarding PJM’s cost-allocation methodology that assigned disproportionate costs from regional transmission expansion plan projects to CECONY and other New York-connected entities. The FERC directed PJM to change one element of the cost allocation methodology that would result in refunds to CECONY that would ultimately be credited to CECONY’s electric customers and initiated a proceeding to review the applicability of the methodology generally. PJM and the PJM transmission owners have sought rehearing of the order and filed a petition for its review at the D.C. Circuit Court. In addition, FERC has extended the deadline for PJM to recalculate the cost allocations until further FERC order. CECONY is unable to estimate the amount of any refund it could receive.
Cyber Regulation
T7In April 2026, the NYSPSC adopted cybersecurity regulations for New York utilities, including CECONY and O&R, effective June 1, 2026. The regulations require the Utilities to, among other things, implement and maintain a risk‑based cybersecurity program aligned with the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Cybersecurity Framework, including governance oversight, periodic risk assessments and audits, continuous monitoring, security controls, incident response and recovery planning. The regulations also require prompt reporting of cybersecurity incidents to the NYSDPS (including cybersecurity data breaches experienced by third-party vendors), investigations following incidents and credit monitoring to customers following certain data breaches. Compliance will be phased in over specified periods set forth in the order, with incremental costs (including capital expenditures incurred to comply with the order) subject to deferral and review in future rate proceedings.
The Utilities already comply with many of the requirements prescribed in the regulations, including alignment with the NIST framework, and expect to comply with all of the requirements of the regulations within the prescribed timeframe.
Con Edison Transmission
Con Edison Transmission, through its New York Transco partnership and jointly with the New York Power Authority (NYPA), is developing the Propel NY Energy transmission project, a 90-mile electric transmission project that is expected to increase high voltage transmission connections between Long Island and the rest of New York State. See the table under "Con Edison Transmission," below. Con Edison Transmission also participates in competitive solicitations to develop additional electric projects. The success of Con Edison Transmission’s efforts in these competitive solicitations and to grow its electric transmission portfolio may impact Con Edison’s future capital requirements.
In April 2026, CECONY and Con Edison Transmission entered into an agreement to sell their interests in Honeoye for $5 million in aggregate, of which approximately $1.5 million was attributed to CECONY, before certain closing adjustments and expenses. The closing is expected to occur following approval from the NYSPSC.

One Big Beautiful Bill Act
On July 4, 2025, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBBA) was signed into law, containing a broad range of tax reform provisions, including extending and modifying certain key provisions of the federal Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017, as enacted on December 22, 2017 and expanding certain incentives under the federal Inflation Reduction Act (IRA), as enacted on August 16, 2022 while accelerating the phase-out of solar and wind credits. The Companies have assessed the potential impacts of the OBBBA and any such assessments may be impacted by future guidance to be issued by the Department of Treasury. However, based on management’s assessment, the provisions in the OBBBA have not had, and are not expected to have, a material impact on the Companies’ financial position, results of operations or liquidity.
51
Inflation Reduction Act
On August 16, 2022, the IRA was signed into law and implemented a new corporate alternative minimum tax (CAMT) that imposes a 15 percent tax on modified GAAP net income. Pursuant to the IRA, corporations are entitled to a tax credit (minimum tax credit) to the extent the CAMT liability exceeds the regular tax liability. This amount can be carried forward indefinitely and used in future years when regular tax liability exceeds the CAMT liability.
T8Beginning in 2024, based on the existing statute, the Companies are subject to and report the CAMT in their Consolidated Income Statements, Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows and the Consolidated Balance Sheets.
At June 30, 2026, Con Edison accrued a CAMT liability of $72 million ($68 million of which is for CECONY) before the application of general business credits, with an offsetting deferred tax asset representing the minimum tax credit carryforward. The deferred tax asset related to the minimum tax credit carryforward will be realized to the extent the Companies’ consolidated deferred tax liabilities exceed the minimum tax credit carryforward. The Companies’ deferred tax liabilities are expected to exceed the minimum tax credit carryforward for the foreseeable future and thus no valuation allowance is required.
On February 18, 2026, the Internal Revenue Service and the Department of Treasury issued Notice 2026-7, which provides additional interim guidance regarding the application of the CAMT and allows the Companies to deduct certain repair expenditures as a reduction to the Companies’ modified GAAP net income. This interim guidance is retroactive to the beginning of the IRA provisions in calculating the Companies’ CAMT liability. In the six months ended June 30, 2026, Con Edison reduced its CAMT credit carryforward by $205 million ($213 million of which is for CECONY) and increased its general business tax credit carryforward by approximately $154 million as a result of adopting the interim guidance for the 2024 and 2025 tax years.
This guidance will also reduce the Companies’ CAMT liability going forward. The Companies are continuing to assess the impacts of the IRA on their financial statements and will update estimates based on future guidance to be issued by the Department of the Treasury.
New York Legislation
In April 2021, New York passed a law that increased the corporate franchise tax rate on business income from 6.5 percent to 7.25 percent, 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 percent, not to exceed a maximum tax liability of $5 million per taxpayer. New York requires a corporate franchise taxpayer to calculate and pay the highest amount of tax under the three alternative methods: a tax on business income; a tax on business capital; or a fixed dollar minimum. The provisions to increase the corporate franchise tax rate and reinstate a capital tax were scheduled to expire after 2023.
In May 2023, New York passed a law that extended the increase in the corporate franchise tax rate from 6.5 percent to 7.25 percent for an additional three years, through tax year 2026 and extended the business capital tax through tax year 2026. New York also passed a law establishing a permanent rate of 30 percent for the metropolitan transportation business tax surcharge. In May 2026, New York passed a law that extended the increase in the corporate franchise tax rate from 6.5 percent to 7.25 percent for an additional three years, through tax year 2029 and extended the business capital tax through tax year 2029. Con Edison does not expect to be subject to the higher tax rate of 7.25 percent in 2026.
In May 2025, New York adopted the 2025-2026 budget bill into law that included increases in payroll tax rates from 0.6 percent to 0.895 percent for CECONY and from 0.34 percent to 0.635 percent for O&R, effective July 1, 2025.

(a)Under the revenue decoupling mechanisms in the Utilities’ New York electric and gas rate plans, revenues are generally not affected by changes in delivery volumes from levels assumed when rates were approved. The Utilities' gas and CECONY’s steam sales are subject to a weather normalization clause, as a result of which, delivery revenues reflect normal weather conditions during the heating season. 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.

(a)Under the revenue decoupling mechanisms in the Utilities’ New York electric and gas rate plans, revenues are generally not affected by changes in delivery volumes from levels assumed when rates were approved. The Utilities' gas and CECONY’s steam sales are subject to a weather normalization clause, as a result of which, delivery revenues reflect normal weather conditions during the heating season. 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.
(b)Other includes the parent company, Con Edison's tax equity investments, consolidation adjustments and Broken Bow II, the deferred project that was classified as held for sale at December 31, 2024, with the sale and transfer completed in January 2025. See Note Q to the Second Quarter Financial Statements.

(a)Revenues from electric sales are subject to a revenue decoupling mechanism, as a result of which delivery revenues generally are not affected by changes in delivery volumes from levels assumed when rates were approved.
(b)“Residential/Religious” generally includes single-family dwellings, individual apartments in multi-family dwellings, religious organizations and certain other not-for-profit organizations.
(c)Other electric operating revenues generally reflect changes in the revenue decoupling mechanism current asset or regulatory liability and changes in regulatory assets and liabilities in accordance with other provisions of CECONY's rate plan.
(d)After adjusting for variations, primarily weather and billing days, electric delivery volumes in CECONY’s service area increased 0.9 percent in the three months ended June 30, 2026 compared with the 2025 period.
Operating revenues increased $353 million in the three months ended June 30, 2026 compared with the 2025 period primarily due to higher purchased power expenses ($185 million), amortization of deferred costs ($45 million), higher unbilled revenue ($44 million), an increase in revenues from the electric rate plan ($34 million), and higher fuel expenses ($26 million).
58
Purchased power expenses increased $185 million in the three months ended June 30, 2026 compared with the 2025 period due to higher unit costs ($139 million), and higher purchased volumes ($46 million).
Fuel costs increased $26 million in the three months ended June 30, 2026 compared with the 2025 period due to higher unit costs ($16 million) and higher purchased volumes from the company's electric generating facilities ($10 million).

Other Income (Deductions)
Other income decreased $60 million in the three months ended June 30, 2026 compared with the 2025 period primarily due to lower credits associated with components of pension and other postretirement benefits other than service cost ($60 million).
Net Interest Expense
Net interest expense increased $8 million in the three months ended June 30, 2026 compared with the 2025 period primarily due to higher interest on long-term debt resulting from increased debt balances ($17 million), offset in part by a decrease in interest expense on regulatory deferrals ($5 million) and lower other interest expense ($4 million).
Income Tax Expense
Income taxes increased $50 million in the three months ended June 30, 2026 compared with the 2025 period primarily due to higher income before income tax expense ($32 million), lower benefit from the amortization of MTA tax surcredit ($8 million), lower write-offs of uncollectible accounts ($8 million) and higher cost of removal ($3 million), offset in part by higher amortization of excess deferred federal income taxes ($6 million).

(a)O&R’s New York electric delivery revenues are subject to a revenue decoupling mechanism, as a result of which delivery revenues are generally not affected by changes in delivery volumes from levels assumed when rates were approved. The majority of O&R’s electric distribution revenues in New Jersey are subject to a conservation incentive program, as a result of which distribution revenues are generally not affected by changes in delivery volumes from levels assumed when rates were approved. O&R’s electric transmission revenues in New Jersey are not subject to a conservation incentive program, and as a result, changes in such volumes do impact revenues.
(b)“Residential/Religious” generally includes single-family dwellings, individual apartments in multi-family dwellings, religious organizations and certain other not-for-profit organizations.
(c)Other electric operating revenues generally reflect changes in regulatory assets and liabilities in accordance with O&R’s electric rate plan.
(d)After adjusting for weather and other variations, electric delivery volumes in O&R’s service area increased 3.9 percent in the six months ended June 30, 2026 compared with the 2025 period.

Other income decreased $7 million in the six months ended June 30, 2026 compared with the 2025 period primarily due to lower investment income from MVP ($8 million) and transaction expenses associated with the sale of MVP ($4 million), offset in part by higher investment income from NY Transco ($4 million).
Income Tax Expense
Income taxes increased $54 million in the six months ended June 30, 2026 compared with the 2025 period primarily due to higher income before income tax expense from the sale of its interest in MVP.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Companies monitor the financial markets closely, including borrowing rates and daily cash collections. Increases in aged accounts receivable balances, inflationary pressure and higher interest rates have increased the amount of capital needed by the Utilities and the costs of such capital. See "Interest Rate Risk," below, "Aged Accounts Receivable Balances," above and "Capital Resources," below.
70
Con Edison and the Utilities have a $3,500 million revolving credit agreement (the Credit Agreement) in place under which banks are committed to provide loans on a revolving credit basis until March 2031, which may be extended for two additional one-year terms, subject to certain conditions. Con Edison and the Utilities have not entered into any loans under the Credit Agreement and CECONY has not entered into any loans under the CECONY Credit Agreement. See Note D to the Second Quarter Financial Statements.
The FERC has authorized CECONY through April 30, 2028 and O&R through July 31, 2028 to issue short-term borrowings for a period of not more than 12 months, in an amount not to exceed $5,000 million and $250 million, respectively, at prevailing market rates.
The Companies’ liquidity reflects cash flows from operating, investing and financing activities, as shown on their respective consolidated statements of cash flows and as discussed below.

Cash Flows from Operating Activities
The Utilities’ cash flows from operating activities primarily reflect their energy sales and deliveries and cost of operations. The volume of energy sales and deliveries is primarily affected by factors external to the Utilities, such as customer demand, weather, market prices for energy and economic conditions. Measures that promote distributed energy resources, such as distributed generation, demand reduction and energy efficiency, also affect the volume of energy sales and deliveries.
Pursuant to their rate plans, the Utilities have recovered from customers a portion of the tax liability they will pay in the future as a result of temporary differences between the book and tax basis of assets and liabilities. These temporary differences affect the timing of cash flows, but not net income, as the Companies are required to record deferred tax assets and liabilities at the current corporate tax rate for the temporary differences. Pursuant to their rate plans, the Utilities recover from customers the amount of property taxes they will pay. The payment of property taxes by the Utilities affects the timing of cash flows and increases the amount of short-term borrowings issued by the Utilities when property taxes are due and as property taxes increase, but generally does not impact net income. See Note J to the Second Quarter Financial Statements.
In general, the Utilities suspended service disconnections during the COVID-19 pandemic and have since resumed such activities in accordance with applicable law. At June 30, 2026, CECONY's and O&R's customer accounts receivables balances of $2,898 million and $119 million, respectively, included aged accounts receivables (balances outstanding in excess of 60 days) of $1,385 million and $31 million, respectively. A continued slow recovery of accounts receivable balances has impacted and is expected to continue to impact the Companies' liquidity. See “Aged Accounts Receivable Balances,” above.
Net income is the result of cash and non-cash (or accrual) transactions. Only cash transactions affect the Companies’ cash flows from operating activities. Principal non-cash charges or credits include depreciation, deferred income tax expense, amortizations of certain regulatory assets and liabilities and accrued unbilled revenue. Non-cash charges or credits may also be accrued under the revenue decoupling and cost reconciliation mechanisms in the Utilities’ New York electric and gas rate plans.
Net cash flows from operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2026 for Con Edison were $845 million lower than in the 2025 period. The change in net cash flows for Con Edison primarily reflects:
•a decrease in accounts payable of $264 million;
•an increase in other receivables, net and other current assets of $262 million;
•higher taxes receivable of $197 million; and
•an increase in prepayments of $130 million.
Net cash flows from operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2026 for CECONY were $934 million lower than in the 2025 period. The change in net cash flows for CECONY primarily reflects:
•higher accounts receivable from affiliated companies of $488 million;
•a decrease in accounts payable of $249 million; and
•an increase in other receivables, net and other current assets of $188 million.

Investments at June 30, 2026 were $136 million lower than at December 31, 2025. The decrease in investments primarily reflects the sale of the equity interest in MVP ($168 million) offset in part by additional investment in and earnings from New York Transco ($32 million).
Current liabilities at June 30, 2026 were $16 million lower than at December 31, 2025. The decrease in current liabilities primarily reflects transaction costs associated with the sale of the equity interest in MVP that were settled in January 2026 ($16 million).
Noncurrent liabilities at June 30, 2026 were $91 million higher than at December 31, 2025. The change in noncurrent liabilities primarily reflects the increase in accumulated deferred income taxes ($81 million) and reversal of the regulatory asset for future income taxes ($11 million) related to the sale of the equity interest in MVP.
Equity at June 30, 2026 was $182 million lower than at December 31, 2025. The change in equity primarily reflects common stock dividends to Con Edison ($332 million), offset in part by net income for the six months ended June 30, 2026 ($150 million).

(a)TOTS is a group of three electric power bulk transmission projects ($217 million total cost) constructed on the New York bulk transmission system to increase transfer capability between upstate and downstate New York.
(b)The NYES project was constructed to relieve transmission congestion between upstate and downstate (estimated cost of approximately $800 million).
(c)Includes a cost containment reduction.
(d)Propel NY Energy, a project that is under development jointly with the NYPA, is a 90-mile electric transmission project that is expected to increase high voltage transmission connections between Long Island and the rest of New York State. New York Transco’s share of the estimated cost of the Propel NY Energy project is $2,200 million, excluding interconnection costs and the cost of projects expected to be built by local transmission owners, including CECONY. The siting, construction and operation of the project will require approvals and permits from the appropriate governmental agencies and authorities, including the NYSPSC.
Con Edison Transmission owns an interest of approximately 71.2 percent in Honeoye, a company that operates a gas storage facility in upstate New York and in which CECONY owns the remaining interest. In April 2026, CECONY and Con Edison Transmission entered into an agreement to sell their interests in Honeoye for $5 million in aggregate, of which approximately $1.5 million was attributed to CECONY, before certain closing adjustments and expenses. The closing is expected to occur following approval from the NYSPSC.
During the first quarter of 2026, Con Edison Transmission completed the sale of its approximately 6.6 percent equity interest in MVP to the two founding members of MVP for total aggregate consideration of $357.5 million, before certain closing adjustments and expenses.

Environmental Matters
New York State's Clean Energy Goals
In May 2026, New York State enacted amendments to the Climate Leadership and Community Protection Act
(CLCPA) as part of the state’s fiscal year 2026–2027 budget. The amendments modify the CLCPA’s implementation
framework by, among other things, extending to December 31, 2028 the deadline for the New York State
Department of Environmental Conservation (NYSDEC) to promulgate implementing regulations and directs the NYSDEC to consider factors such as feasibility, affordability, economic competitiveness and reliability in developing any such regulations. The amendments also revise the state’s interim greenhouse gas emissions reduction framework by eliminating the emission reductions for 2030 and replacing them with emission reductions of 60 percent from 1990 levels by 2040. The amendments maintain the statutory requirement for the NYSDEC to promulgate rules establishing a statewide greenhouse gas emissions limit of an 85 percent reduction below 1990 levels by 2050, to the maximum extent feasible and cost-effective, and did not change the renewable energy targets. The Utilities are unable to predict the impact that the implementation of this law will have on them.
Energy Storage
In April 2026, the NYSPSC issued an order that approved modifications to New York utilities’ portfolio of Dynamic Load Management (DLM) programs and updated reporting requirements. The order authorized CECONY to expand its portfolio of DLM programs to include a Bring Your Own Battery (BYOB) program that enables customer-sited energy storage of less than 50 kW to participate in demand response and receive incentives for supporting the energy system during periods of high demand. The program is intended to reduce demand on the distribution system and improve reliability on high-demand days. CECONY will implement the BYOB program and file the associated tariff changes in accordance with the NYSPSC’s order.
Financial and Commodity Market Risks
The Companies are subject to various risks and uncertainties associated with financial and commodity markets. The most significant market risks include interest rate risk, commodity price risk and investment risk.
Interest Rate Risk
The Companies' interest rate risk primarily relates to new debt financing needed to fund capital requirements, including the capital expenditures of the Utilities and maturing debt securities, and variable-rate debt. Con Edison and its subsidiaries manage interest rate risk through the issuance of mostly fixed-rate debt with varying maturities and through opportunistic refinancing of debt. Con Edison and CECONY estimate that at June 30, 2026, a 10 percent increase in interest rates applicable to its variable rate debt would result in an increase in annual interest expense of $5 million and $4 million, respectively. Under CECONY’s current electric, gas and steam rate plans, variations in actual variable rate tax-exempt debt interest expense, including costs associated with the refinancing of the variable rate tax-exempt debt, are reconciled to levels reflected in rates.
Higher interest rates have resulted in increased interest expense on commercial paper, variable-rate debt and long-term debt issuances.
Commodity Price Risk
Con Edison’s commodity price risk primarily relates to the purchase and sale of electricity, gas and related derivative instruments. The Utilities apply risk management strategies to mitigate their related exposures. See Note N to the Second Quarter Financial Statements.
Con Edison estimates that, as of June 30, 2026, a 10 percent decline in market prices would result in a decline in fair value of $200 million for the derivative instruments used by the Utilities to hedge purchases of electricity and gas, of which $183 million is for CECONY and $17 million is for O&R. As of June 30, 2025, Con Edison estimated that a 10 percent decline in market prices would result in a decline in fair value of $153 million for the derivative instruments used by the Utilities to hedge purchases of electricity and gas, of which $141 million is for CECONY and $12 million is for O&R. Con Edison expects that any such change in fair value would be largely offset by directionally opposite changes in the cost of the electricity and gas purchased.
The Utilities do not make any margin or profit on the electricity or gas they sell. In accordance with provisions approved by state regulators, the Utilities generally recover from full-service customers the costs they incur for energy purchased for those customers, including gains and losses on certain derivative instruments used to hedge energy purchased and related costs. However, increases in electric and gas commodity prices may contribute to a
79
slower recovery of cash from outstanding customer accounts receivable balances. See “Electric Supply” and “Aged Accounts Receivable Balances,” above.
Investment Risk
The Companies’ investment risk relates to the investment of plan assets for their pension and other postretirement benefit plans. Con Edison's investment risk also relates to the investments of Con Edison Transmission that are accounted for under the equity method. See "Investments" in Note A to the Second Quarter Financial Statements.
The Companies’ current investment policy for pension plan assets includes investment targets of 20 to 24 percent equity securities, 55 to 65 percent debt securities and 14 to 22 percent alternatives. At June 30, 2026, the pension plan investments consisted of 22 percent equity securities, 59 percent debt securities and 19 percent alternatives.
For the Utilities’ pension and other postretirement benefit plans, regulatory accounting treatment is generally applied in accordance with the accounting rules for regulated operations. In accordance with the Statement of Policy issued by the NYSPSC and its current electric, gas and steam rate plans, CECONY defers for payment to or recovery from customers the difference between the pension and other postretirement benefit expenses and the amounts for such expenses reflected in rates. O&R also defers such difference pursuant to its New York rate plans.
Material Contingencies
For information concerning potential liabilities arising from the Companies’ material contingencies, see "Other Regulatory Matters" in Note B and Notes G and H to the Second Quarter Financial Statements.
