EXELON CORP New Standards Disclosure
New Accounting Standards (All Registrants)
New Accounting Standards Adopted in 2025: In 2025, the Registrants adopted the following new FASB authoritative accounting guidance.
Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures (Issued December 2023). Provides additional disclosure requirements related to the effective tax rate reconciliation and income taxes paid. Under the revised guidance for the effective tax reconciliations, entities would be required to disclose: (1) eight specific categories in the effective tax rate reconciliation in both percentages and reporting currency amount, (2) additional information for reconciling items over a certain threshold, (3) explanation of individual reconciling items disclosed, and (4) provide a qualitative description of the state and local jurisdictions that contribute to the majority of the state income tax expense. For each annual period presented, the new standard requires disclosure of the year-to-date amount of income taxes paid (net of refunds received) disaggregated by federal, state, and foreign. It also requires additional disaggregated information on income taxes paid (net of refunds received) to an individual jurisdiction equal to or greater than 5% of total income taxes paid (net of refunds received). The standard is effective for annual periods beginning January 1, 2025. The Registrants' adoption of this guidance in the fourth quarter of 2025 resulted in an expanded effective tax rate reconciliation. The standard has been applied retrospectively. See Note 11 — Income Taxes for additional information.
New Accounting Standards Issued and Not Yet Adopted as of December 31, 2025: The following new authoritative accounting guidance issued by the FASB has not yet been adopted and reflected by the Registrants in their consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2025. Unless otherwise indicated, the Registrants are currently assessing the impacts such guidance may have (which could be material) in their Consolidated Balance Sheets, Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income, Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows and disclosures, as well as the potential to early adopt where applicable. The Registrants have assessed other FASB issuances of new standards which are not listed below given the current expectation that such standards will not significantly impact the Registrants' financial reporting.
Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses (Issued November 2024). Provides additional disclosure requirements related to relevant expense captions of income statement expense line items. The revised guidance requires a new tabular disclosure of disaggregated income statement expenses including a break out of (1) purchases of inventory, (2) employee compensation, (3) depreciation, (4) intangible asset amortization, (5) depreciation, depletion, and amortization recognized as part of oil and gas producing activities included in each relevant expense line item on the income statement. The tabular disaggregation should include certain amounts already required to be disclosed under GAAP elsewhere. Any remaining amounts not separately disaggregated quantitatively should include a qualitative description. Additionally, on an annual basis, the standard requires disclosure of management’s definition of selling expenses and the amount of expense. The standard is effective January 1, 2027, with early adoption permitted.
Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Internal Use Software (Issued September 2025). Modernizes the accounting for costs related to internal use software to align with the agile basis utilized to develop software. The revised guidance removes references to project stages, clarifies the capitalization threshold for software costs, and expands disclosure requirements for capitalized software. Cost capitalization will begin with (1) management
authorized and committed project funding and (2) it is 'probable' to complete the project and the software will be used in its intended function. The standard is effective for annual and interim periods beginning January 1, 2028. The standard can be implemented using a prospective, retrospective, or modified retrospective transition approach with early adoption permitted.
Accounting for Government Grants (Issued December 2025). Establishes accounting guidance for government grants received by defining (1) a grant related to an asset and (2) a grant related to income. Updates provide that a grant should not be recognized until it is probable the entity will comply with grant conditions and the grant will be received. A grant related to an asset is required to be recognized on the balance sheet either as (1) deferred income (deferred income approach) or (2) an adjustment to carrying value (cost accumulation approach). Grants related to income and grants related to assets for which the deferred income approach is elected should be recognized in earnings on a systematic basis over the periods in which an entity recognizes expenses for the costs the grant was intended to compensate. The standard is effective for annual and interim periods beginning January 1, 2029, with early adoption permitted.

About New Standards Disclosures
New accounting standards disclosures describe recently adopted pronouncements and those not yet effective, along with management's assessment of their expected impact. This section provides an early warning system for upcoming changes to how a company reports its financial results, often years before the new rules take effect.
Key signals: when management describes a not-yet-adopted standard's impact as "material" or "still being evaluated," it signals potential significant changes to reported metrics upon adoption. Watch for standards that affect a company's core operations — for example, revenue recognition changes for software companies or lease accounting changes for retailers with large store footprints. The transition method chosen (full retrospective versus modified retrospective) affects comparability with prior periods. Companies that delay adoption to the latest permitted date may be struggling with implementation complexity. Compare the disclosed impact assessments against peers in the same industry to gauge whether management's expectations are reasonable.
