Forward-Looking Statements

This report, including Exhibit 99.1 hereto, contains certain statements that are considered forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The words "believes," "considering," "anticipates," "expects," "intends," "plans," "projecting" and other similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements, although not all forward-looking statements contain these identifying words. Constellation Energy also discloses non-historical information that represents management's expectations, which are based on numerous assumptions. These statements include statements in Exhibit 99.1 hereto. 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 for energy including coal, natural gas, oil, electricity, nuclear fuel, freight and emissions allowances and the impact of such changes on Constellation Energy's liquidity requirements; the timing and extent of deregulation of, and competition in, the energy markets, and the rules and regulations adopted on a transitional basis in those markets; the conditions of the capital markets, interest rates, availability of credit, liquidity and general economic conditions, as well as Constellation Energy's and Baltimore Gas and Electric Company's ability to maintain their current credit ratings; the ability to attract and retain customers in Constellation Energy's competitive supply activities and to adequately forecast their energy usage; the effectiveness of Constellation Energy's and Baltimore Gas and Electric Company's risk management policies and procedures and the ability and willingness of Constellation Energy's counterparties to satisfy their financial and other commitments; the liquidity and competitiveness of wholesale markets for energy commodities; uncertainties associated with estimating natural gas reserves, developing properties and extracting gas; operational factors affecting the operations of Constellation Energy's generating facilities (including nuclear facilities) and Baltimore Gas and Electric Company's transmission and distribution facilities, including catastrophic 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 Constellation Energy's control; the inability of Baltimore Gas and Electric Company to recover all its costs associated with providing customers service; the effect of weather and general economic and business conditions on energy supply, demand, and prices; regulatory or legislative developments that affect deregulation, transmission or


distribution rates, demand for energy, or that would increase costs, including costs related to nuclear power plants, safety, or environmental compliance; the ability of Constellation Energy's regulated and non-regulated businesses to comply with complex and/or changing market rules and regulations; the actual outcome of uncertainties associated with assumptions and estimates using judgment when applying critical accounting policies and preparing financial statements, including factors that are estimated in applying mark-to-market accounting, such as the ability to obtain market prices and in the absence of verifiable market prices, the appropriateness of models and model impacts (including, but not limited to, extreme contractual load obligations, unit availability, forward commodity prices, interest rates, correlation and volatility factors); changes in accounting principles or practices; 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; Constellation Energy's ability to successfully identify and complete acquisitions and sales of businesses and assets; cost and other effects of legal and administrative proceedings that may not be covered by insurance, including environmental liabilities; the likelihood and timing of the completion of the pending transaction with Électricité de France International, S.A. and the terms and conditions of any regulatory approvals; and the ability to complete Constellation Energy's strategic initiatives to improve Constellation Energy's liquidity. Given these uncertainties, you should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements. Please see Constellation Energy's 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 report, and no duty is undertaken to update them to reflect new information, events or circumstances.
