Forward-looking statements are statements of future expectation and not facts. Words such as “expects,” “estimates,” “anticipates,” “intends,” “believes,” “plans,” “will” and similar expressions identify forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are based on information available 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 risks, including:

the failure to operate energy facilities safely and reliably could adversely affect the Companies;

the failure to properly complete construction projects could adversely affect the Companies;

the failure of processes and systems and the performance of employees and contractors could adversely affect the Companies;

the Companies are extensively regulated and are subject to penalties;

the Utilities’ rate plans may not provide a reasonable return;

the Companies may be adversely affected by changes to the Utilities’ rate plans;

the Companies are exposed to risks from the environmental consequences of their operations;

a disruption in the wholesale energy markets or failure by an energy supplier could adversely affect the Companies;

the Companies have substantial unfunded pension and other postretirement benefit liabilities;

Con Edison’s ability to pay dividends or interest depends on dividends from its subsidiaries;

the Companies require access to capital markets to satisfy funding requirements;

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

General

These combined notes accompany and form an integral part of the separate consolidated financial statements of each of the two separate registrants: Consolidated Edison, Inc. and its subsidiaries (Con Edison) and Consolidated Edison Company of New York, Inc. and its subsidiaries (CECONY). CECONY is a subsidiary of Con Edison and as such its financial condition and results of operations and cash flows, which are presented separately in the CECONY consolidated financial statements, are also consolidated, along with those of Con Edison’s other utility subsidiary, Orange and Rockland Utilities, Inc. (O&R), and Con Edison’s competitive energy businesses (discussed below) in Con Edison’s consolidated financial statements. The term “Utilities” is used in these notes to refer to CECONY and O&R.

As used in these notes, the term “Companies” refers to Con Edison and CECONY and, except as otherwise noted, the information in these combined notes relates to each of the Companies. However, CECONY makes no representation as to information relating to Con Edison or the subsidiaries of Con Edison other than itself.

The separate interim consolidated financial statements of each of the Companies are unaudited but, in the opinion of their respective managements, reflect all adjustments (which include only normally recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the interim periods presented. The Companies’ separate interim consolidated financial statements should be read together with their separate audited financial statements (including the combined notes thereto) included in Item 8 of their combined Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012. Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation.

Con Edison has two regulated utility subsidiaries: CECONY and O&R. CECONY provides electric service and gas service in New York City and Westchester County. The company also provides steam service in parts of Manhattan. O&R, along with its regulated utility subsidiaries, provides electric service in southeastern New York and adjacent areas of northern New Jersey and eastern Pennsylvania and gas service in southeastern New York and adjacent areas of eastern Pennsylvania. Con Edison has the following competitive energy businesses: Consolidated Edison Solutions, Inc. (Con Edison Solutions), a retail energy services company that sells electricity and also offers energy-related services; Consolidated Edison Energy, Inc. (Con Edison Energy), a wholesale energy supply and services company; and Consolidated Edison Development, Inc. (Con Edison Development), a company that develops and participates in infrastructure projects.

(b) Tax reclassified from accumulated OCI is reported in the income tax expense line item of the income statement.

Note B — Regulatory Matters

Other Regulatory Matters

In February 2009, the New York State Public Service Commission (NYSPSC) commenced a proceeding to examine the prudence of certain CECONY expenditures following the arrests of employees for accepting illegal payments from a construction contractor. Subsequently, additional employees were arrested for accepting illegal payments from materials suppliers and an engineering firm. The arrested employees were terminated by the company and have pled guilty or been convicted. Pursuant to NYSPSC orders, a portion of the company’s revenues (currently, $249 million, $32 million and $6 million on an annual basis for electric, gas and steam service, respectively) is being collected subject to potential refund to customers. The amount of electric revenues collected subject to refund, which was established in a different proceeding, and the amount of gas and steam revenues collected subject to refund were not established as indicative of the company’s potential liability in this proceeding. At March 31, 2013, the company had collected an estimated $1,174 million from customers subject to potential refund in connection with this proceeding. In January 2013, a NYSPSC consultant reported its estimate, with which the company does not agree, of $208 million of overcharges with respect to a substantial portion of the company’s construction expenditures from January 2000 to January 2009. The company is disputing the consultant’s estimate, including its determinations as to overcharges regarding specific construction expenditures it selected to review and its methodology of extrapolating such determinations over a substantial portion of the construction expenditures during this period. The NYSPSC’s consultant has not reviewed the company’s other expenditures. The company and NYSPSC staff anticipate exploring settlement negotiations in this proceeding, the schedule for which may be coordinated with the schedule for consideration of the

19


Table of Contents

company’s January 2013 request for new electric, gas and steam rate plans. At March 31, 2013, the company had a $15 million regulatory liability for refund to customers of amounts recovered from vendors, arrested employees and insurers relating to this matter. The company is unable to estimate the amount, if any, by which any refund required by the NYSPSC may exceed this regulatory liability.

In late October 2012, Superstorm Sandy caused extensive damage to the Utilities’ electric distribution system and interrupted service to approximately 1.4 million customers. Superstorm Sandy also damaged CECONY’s steam system and interrupted service to many of its steam customers. As of March 31, 2013, CECONY and O&R incurred response and restoration costs for Superstorm Sandy of $431 million and $90 million, respectively (including capital expenditures of $113 million and $15 million, respectively). Most of the costs that were not capitalized were deferred for recovery as a regulatory asset under the Utilities’ electric rate plans. See “Regulatory Assets and Liabilities” below. The Utilities’ New York electric rate plans include provisions for revenue decoupling, as a result of which delivery revenues generally are not affected by changes in delivery volumes from levels assumed when rates were approved. The provisions of the Utilities’ New York electric plans that impose penalties for operating performance provide for exceptions for major storms and catastrophic events beyond the control of the companies, including natural disasters such as hurricanes and floods. The NYSPSC, the New York State Attorney General and a commission appointed by the Governor of New York are investigating the preparation and performance of the Utilities in connection with Superstorm Sandy and other major storms.

In March 2013, the New Jersey Board of Public Utilities established a proceeding to review the prudency of costs incurred by New Jersey utilities, including Rockland Electric Company (RECO, an O&R subsidiary), in response to major storm events in 2011 and 2012. At March 31, 2013, RECO had $27 million of storm costs deferred for recovery as a regulatory asset and had incurred $6 million of capital expenditures related to the storms.

Fair values of long-term debt have been estimated primarily using available market information. For Con Edison, $12,327 million and $636 million of the fair value of long-term debt at March 31, 2013 are classified as Level 2 and Level 3, respectively. For CECONY, $11,156 million and $636 million of the fair value of long-term debt at March 31, 2013 are classified as Level 2 and Level 3, respectively (see Note L). The $636 million of long-term debt classified as Level 3 is CECONY’s tax-exempt, auction-rate securities for which the market is highly illiquid and there is a lack of observable inputs.

Note D — Short-Term Borrowing

At March 31, 2013, Con Edison had $1,021 million of commercial paper outstanding of which $313 million was outstanding under CECONY’s program. The weighted average interest rate was 0.3 percent for both Con Edison and CECONY. At December 31, 2012, Con Edison had $539 million of commercial paper outstanding of which $421 million was outstanding under CECONY’s program. The weighted average interest rate was 0.3 percent for both Con Edison and CECONY. At March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, no loans were outstanding under the Companies’ credit agreement and $186 million (including $171 million for CECONY) and $131 million (including $121 million for CECONY) of letters of credit were outstanding, respectively, under the credit agreement.

Note G — Environmental Matters

Superfund Sites

Hazardous substances, such as asbestos, polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) and coal tar, have been used or generated in the course of operations of the Utilities and their predecessors and are present at sites and in facilities and equipment they currently or previously owned, including sites at which gas was manufactured or stored.

The Federal Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act of 1980 and similar state statutes (Superfund) impose joint and several liability, regardless of fault, upon generators of hazardous substances for investigation and remediation costs (which include costs of demolition, removal, disposal, storage, replacement, containment, and monitoring) and natural resource damages. Liability under these laws can be material and may be imposed for contamination from past acts, even though such past acts may have been lawful at the time they occurred. The sites at which the Utilities have been asserted to have liability under these laws, including their manufactured gas plant sites and any neighboring areas to which contamination may have migrated, are referred to herein as “Superfund Sites.”

For Superfund Sites where there are other potentially responsible parties and the Utilities are not managing the site investigation and remediation, the accrued liability represents an estimate of the amount the Utilities will need to pay to investigate and, where determinable, discharge their related obligations. For Superfund Sites (including the manufactured gas plant sites) for which one of the Utilities is managing the investigation and remediation, the accrued liability represents an estimate of the company’s share of undiscounted cost to investigate the sites and, for sites that have been investigated in whole or in part, the cost to remediate the sites, if remediation is necessary and if a reasonable estimate of such cost can be made. Remediation costs are estimated in light of the information available, applicable remediation standards, and experience with similar sites.

23


Table of Contents

The accrued liabilities and regulatory assets related to Superfund Sites at March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012 were as follows:

Con Edison CECONY
(Millions of Dollars) 2013 2012 2013 2012

Accrued Liabilities:

Manufactured gas plant sites

$457 $462 $348 $351

Other Superfund Sites

79 83 77 82

Total

$536 $545 $425 $433

Regulatory assets

$721 $730 $607 $615

Most of the accrued Superfund Site liability relates to sites that have been investigated, in whole or in part. However, for some of the sites, the extent and associated cost of the required remediation has not yet been determined. As investigations progress and information pertaining to the required remediation becomes available, the Utilities expect that additional liability may be accrued, the amount of which is not presently determinable but may be material. Under their current rate agreements, the Utilities are permitted to recover or defer as regulatory assets (for subsequent recovery through rates) certain site investigation and remediation costs.

Environmental remediation costs incurred and insurance recoveries received related to Superfund Sites for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012 were as follows:

Con Edison CECONY
(Millions of Dollars) 2013 2012 2013 2012

Remediation costs incurred

$10 $7 $7 $7

Insurance recoveries received

In 2010, CECONY estimated that for its manufactured gas plant sites, its aggregate undiscounted potential liability for the investigation and remediation of coal tar and/or other manufactured gas plant-related environmental contaminants could range up to $1.9 billion. In 2010, O&R estimated that for its manufactured gas plant sites, each of which has been investigated, the aggregate undiscounted potential liability for the remediation of such contaminants could range up to $200 million. These estimates were based on the assumption that there is contamination at all sites, including those that have not yet been fully investigated and additional assumptions about the extent of the contamination and the type and extent of the remediation that may be required. Actual experience may be materially different.

Asbestos Proceedings

Suits have been brought in New York State and federal courts against the Utilities and many other defendants, wherein a large number of plaintiffs sought large amounts of compensatory and punitive damages for deaths and injuries allegedly caused by exposure to asbestos at various premises of the Utilities. The suits that have been resolved, which are many, have been resolved without any payment by the Utilities, or for amounts that were not, in the aggregate, material to them. The amounts specified in all the remaining thousands of suits total billions of dollars; however, the Utilities believe that these amounts are greatly exaggerated, based on the disposition of previous claims. In 2010, CECONY estimated that its aggregate undiscounted potential liability for these suits and additional suits that may be brought over the next 15 years is $10 million. The estimate was based upon a combination of modeling, historical data analysis and risk factor assessment. Actual experience may be materially different. In addition, certain current and former employees have claimed or are claiming workers’ compensation benefits based on alleged disability from exposure to asbestos. Under its current rate agreements, CECONY is permitted to defer as regulatory assets (for subsequent recovery through rates) costs incurred for its asbestos lawsuits and workers’ compensation claims. The accrued liability for asbestos suits and workers’ compensation proceedings (including those related to asbestos exposure) and the amounts deferred as regulatory assets for the Companies at March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012 were as follows:

Manhattan Steam Main Rupture

In July 2007, a CECONY steam main located in midtown Manhattan ruptured. It has been reported that one person died and others were injured as a result of the incident. Several buildings in the area were damaged. Debris from the incident included dirt and mud containing asbestos. The response to the incident required the closing of several buildings and streets for various periods. Approximately 93 suits are pending against the company seeking generally unspecified compensatory and, in some cases, punitive damages, for personal injury, property damage and business interruption. The company has not accrued a liability for the suits. The company has notified its insurers of the incident and believes that the policies in force at the time of the incident will cover most of the company’s costs, which the company is unable to estimate, but which could be substantial, to satisfy its liability to others in connection with the incident.

Lease In/Lease Out Transactions

In each of 1997 and 1999, Con Edison Development entered into transactions in which it leased property and then immediately subleased the properties back to the lessor (termed “Lease In/Lease Out,” or LILO transactions). The transactions respectively involve electric generating and gas distribution facilities in the Netherlands, with a total investment of $259 million. The transactions were financed with $93 million of equity and $166 million of non-recourse, long-term debt secured by the underlying assets. In accordance with the accounting rules for leases, Con Edison is accounting for the two LILO transactions as leveraged leases. Accordingly, the company’s investment in these leases, net of non-recourse debt, is carried as a single amount in Con Edison’s consolidated balance sheet and income is recognized pursuant to a method that incorporates a level rate of return for those years when net investment in the lease is positive.

On audit of Con Edison’s tax return for 1997, the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) disallowed tax losses in connection with the 1997 LILO transaction and assessed the company a $0.3 million income tax deficiency. On audits of Con Edison’s 1998 through 2011 tax returns, the IRS disallowed $574 million of tax losses taken with respect to both LILO transactions. In December 2005, Con Edison paid the $0.3 million deficiency asserted by the IRS for the tax year 1997 with respect to the 1997 LILO transaction. In April 2006, the company paid interest of $0.2 million associated with the deficiency and commenced an action in the United States Court of Federal Claims, entitled Consolidated Edison Company of New York, Inc. v. United States, to obtain a refund of tax and interest. A trial was completed in November 2007. In October 2009, the court issued a decision in favor of the company concluding that the 1997 LILO transaction was, in substance, a true lease that possessed economic substance, the loans relating to the lease constituted bona fide indebtedness, and the deductions for the 1997 LILO transactions claimed by the company in its 1997 federal income tax return are allowable. In January 2013, the United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit reversed the October 2009 trial court decision and disallowed the tax losses claimed by the company relating to the 1997 LILO transaction. In March 2013, the Court of Appeals denied the company’s request to grant rehearing en banc of the January 2013 decision. To appeal the January 2013 decision, the company would need to file a petition for a writ of certiorari with the Supreme Court of the United States by June 25, 2013.

As a result of the January 2013 Court of Appeals decision, in the three months ended March 31, 2013, Con Edison recorded an after-tax charge of $150 million to reflect, as required by the accounting rules for leveraged lease transactions, the recalculation of the accounting effect of the LILO transactions based on the revised after-tax cash flows projected from the inception of the leveraged leases as well as the interest on the potential tax liability resulting from the disallowance of federal and state income tax losses with respect to the LILO transactions (see “Uncertain Tax Positions” in Note I). The effect on Con Edison’s

The transactions did not impact earnings in 2012.

At March 31, 2013, the company’s net investment in these LILO transactions was $97 million, comprised of a $104 million gross investment less $7 million of deferred tax liabilities. At December 31, 2012, the company’s net investment in the LILO transactions was $(76) million, comprised of a $228 million gross investment less $304 million of deferred tax liabilities.

In January 2013, to defray interest charges, the company deposited $447 million with federal and state tax agencies relating primarily to the potential tax liability from these LILO transactions in past tax years and interest thereon. In April 2013, the company requested the IRS to return $95 million of the deposit. The company estimates that if it were to negotiate the termination of the transactions, it could receive cash proceeds of approximately $205 million (pre-tax), which amount could be higher or lower depending on the negotiations.

Other Contingencies

See “Other Regulatory Matters” in Note B and “Uncertain Tax Positions” in Note I.

Guarantees

Con Edison and its subsidiaries enter into various agreements providing financial or performance assurance primarily to third parties on behalf of their subsidiaries. Maximum amounts guaranteed by Con Edison totaled $878 million and $859 million at March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively.

A summary, by type and term, of Con Edison’s total guarantees at March 31, 2013 is as follows:

Energy Transactions — Con Edison guarantees payments on behalf of its competitive energy businesses in order to facilitate physical and financial transactions in gas, pipeline capacity, transportation, oil, electricity, renewable energy credits and energy services. To the extent that liabilities exist under the contracts subject to these guarantees, such liabilities are included in Con Edison’s consolidated balance sheet.

Intra-company Guarantees — Con Edison guarantees electricity sales made by Con Edison Energy and Con Edison Solutions to O&R and CECONY.

Other Guarantees — Con Edison and Con Edison Development also guarantee the following:

$2 million relates to guarantees issued by Con Edison to CECONY covering a former Con Edison subsidiary’s lease payment to use CECONY’s conduit system in accordance with a tariff approved by the NYSPSC and a guarantee issued by Con Edison to a landlord to guarantee the former subsidiary’s obligations under a building lease. The former subsidiary is obligated to reimburse Con Edison for any payments made under these guarantees. This obligation is fully secured by letters of credit;

$25 million for guarantees provided by Con Edison to Travelers Insurance Company for indemnity agreements for surety bonds in connection with energy service projects performed by Con Edison Solutions;

$9 million for guarantees provided by Con Edison Development to Travelers Insurance Company for indemnity agreements for surety bonds in connection with the construction and operation of solar facilities performed by its subsidiaries; and

Con Edison, on behalf of Con Edison Solutions, as a retail electric provider, issued a guarantee to the Public Utility Commission of Texas with no specified limitation on the amount guaranteed, covering the payment of all obligations of a retail electric provider. Con Edison’s estimate of the maximum potential obligation is $5 million as of March 31, 2013.

Note I — Income Tax

In the first quarter of 2013, the IRS accepted on audit Con Edison’s claim for manufacturing tax

deductions. Accordingly, this quarter, Con Edison’s effective tax rate was favorably impacted by $15 million. In addition, as a result of interest expense on the LILO disallowances and reduction to non-utility operating revenues (see “Lease In/Lease Out Transactions” in Note H), income before income tax expense for the first quarter of 2013 is significantly lower than the first quarter of 2012. Other recurring tax rate reconciling items in the first quarter of 2013 and 2012 are comparable; however, as a result of lower income before income tax expense in 2013, Con Edison’s effective tax rate was significantly lower than 2012.

Uncertain Tax Positions

During the first quarter of 2013, the IRS accepted Con Edison’s deductions for repair costs to utility plant (the “repair allowance deductions”). As a result of this settlement, Con Edison and CECONY reduced their estimated liabilities for prior year uncertain tax positions by $72 million and $66 million, respectively, with a corresponding increase to accumulated deferred income tax liabilities. In addition, as a result of the January 2013 Court of Appeals decision (see “Lease In/Lease Out Transactions” in Note H), Con Edison increased its estimated prior year liabilities for federal and state uncertain tax positions by $238 million in the first quarter of 2013, with a corresponding reduction to accumulated deferred income tax liabilities. These changes to the Companies’ estimated liabilities for uncertain tax positions had no impact on income tax expense in the first quarter of 2013. There were no material changes to the Companies’ estimated liabilities for uncertain tax positions during the first quarter of 2012. At March 31, 2013, the estimated liabilities for uncertain tax positions for Con Edison and CECONY were $251 million and $7 million, respectively.

The Companies recognize interest on liabilities for uncertain tax positions in interest expense and would recognize penalties, if any, in operating expenses in the Companies’ consolidated income statements. In the first quarter of 2013, Con Edison recognized $126 million of interest expense ($131 million related to the LILO transactions, less a reduction of $5 million in accrued interest expense primarily associated with repair allowance deductions). Con Edison’s accrued interest on uncertain tax positions at March 31, 2013 was $137 million, compared with $11 million at December 31, 2012. Accrued interest on CECONY’s consolidated balance sheet was immaterial.

The Companies reasonably expect to resolve their uncertain tax positions with the IRS within the next twelve months, and accordingly have reflected their estimated liability for uncertain tax positions as current liabilities on their respective consolidated balance sheets. At March 31, 2013, the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits that, if recognized, would affect the Companies’ effective tax rate is $6 million for Con Edison and no impact to CECONY.

Note K — Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities

Under the accounting rules for derivatives and hedging, derivatives are recognized on the balance sheet at fair value, unless an exception is available under the accounting rules. Certain qualifying derivative contracts have been designated as normal purchases or normal sales contracts. These contracts are not reported at fair value under the accounting rules.

Energy Price Hedging

Con Edison’s subsidiaries hedge market price fluctuations associated with physical purchases and sales of electricity, natural gas, and steam by using derivative instruments including futures, forwards, basis swaps, options, transmission congestion contracts and financial transmission rights contracts.

Effective January 1, 2013, the Companies adopted Accounting Standards Updates (ASUs) No. 2011-11, “Balance Sheet (Topic 210): Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities” and No. 2013-01, “Balance Sheet (Topic 210): Clarifying the Scope of Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities”. The amendments require the Companies to disclose certain quantitative information concerning financial and derivative instruments that are offset in the balance sheet and a description of the rights of setoff, including the nature of such rights, associated with recognized assets and liabilities that are subject to an enforceable master netting arrangement or similar agreement.

The Companies’ enter into master agreements for their commodity derivatives. These agreements typically provide setoff in the event of contract termination. In such case, generally the non-defaulting or non-affected party’s payable will be set-off by the other party’s payable. The non-defaulting party will customarily notify the defaulting party within a specific time period and come to an agreement on the early termination amount.

As required by an exchange, a margin is collateral, typically cash, that the holder of a derivative instrument has to deposit in order to transact on an exchange and to cover its potential losses with its broker or the exchange.

Credit Exposure

The Companies are exposed to credit risk related to transactions entered into primarily for the various energy supply and hedging activities by the Utilities and the competitive energy businesses. The Companies use credit policies to manage this risk, including an established credit approval process, monitoring of counterparty limits, netting provisions within agreements, collateral or prepayment arrangements, credit insurance and credit default swaps.

At March 31, 2013, Con Edison and CECONY had $157 million and $21 million of credit exposure in connection with energy supply and hedging activities, net of collateral, respectively. Con Edison’s net credit exposure consisted of $55 million with investment-grade counterparties, $44 million with commodity exchange brokers, $55 million with independent system operators and $3 million with non-investment grade/non-rated counterparties. CECONY’s net credit exposure consisted of $6 million with investment-grade counterparties and $15 million with commodity exchange brokers.

Economic Hedges

The Companies enter into certain derivative instruments that do not qualify or are not designated as hedges under the accounting rules for derivatives and hedging. However, management believes these instruments represent economic hedges that mitigate exposure to fluctuations in commodity prices.

The Utilities generally recover all of their prudently incurred fuel, purchased power and gas cost, including hedging gains and losses, in accordance with rate provisions approved by the applicable state utility commissions. In accordance with the accounting rules for regulated operations, the Utilities record a regulatory asset or liability to defer recognition of unrealized gains and losses on their electric and gas derivatives. As gains and losses are realized in future periods, they will be recognized as purchased power, gas and fuel costs in the Companies’ consolidated income statements. Con Edison’s competitive energy businesses record realized and unrealized gains and losses on their derivative contracts in earnings in the reporting period in which they occur.

As of March 31, 2013, Con Edison had 1,096 contracts, including 553 CECONY contracts, which were considered to be derivatives under the accounting rules for derivatives and hedging (excluding qualifying derivative contracts, which have been designated as normal purchases or normal sales contracts).

(a) Qualifying derivative contracts, which have been designated as normal purchases or normal sales contracts, are not reported at fair value under the accounting rules for derivatives and hedging and, therefore, are excluded from the table.
(b) Volumes are reported net of long and short positions.

The Companies also enter into electric congestion and gas basis swap contracts to hedge the congestion and transportation charges which are associated with electric and gas contracts and hedged volumes.

The collateral requirements associated with, and settlement of, derivative transactions are included in net cash flows from operating activities in the Companies’ consolidated statement of cash flows. Most derivative instrument contracts contain provisions that may require the Companies to provide collateral on derivative instruments in net liability positions. The amount of collateral to be provided will depend on the fair value of the derivative instruments and the Companies’ credit ratings.

The aggregate fair value of all derivative instruments with credit-risk-related contingent features that are in a net liability position and collateral posted at March 31, 2013, and the additional collateral that would have been required to be posted had the lowest applicable credit rating been reduced one level and to below investment grade were:

(a) Non-derivative transactions for the purchase and sale of electricity and gas and qualifying derivative instruments, which have been designated as normal purchases or normal sales, are excluded from the table. These transactions primarily include purchases of electricity from independent system operators. In the event the Utilities and Con Edison’s competitive energy businesses were no longer extended unsecured credit for such purchases, the Companies would be required to post collateral, which at March 31, 2013, would have amounted to an estimated $32 million for Con Edison, including $15 million for CECONY. For certain other such non-derivative transactions, the Companies could be required to post collateral under certain circumstances, including in the event counterparties had reasonable grounds for insecurity.
(b) The Companies measure the collateral requirements by taking into consideration the fair value amounts of derivative instruments that contain credit-risk-related contingent features that are in a net liabilities position plus amounts owed to counterparties for settled transactions and amounts required by counterparties for minimum financial security. The fair value amounts represent unrealized losses, net of any unrealized gains where the Companies have a legally enforceable right of setoff.
(c) Derivative instruments that are net assets have been excluded from the table. At March 31, 2013, if Con Edison had been downgraded to below investment grade, it would have been required to post additional collateral for such derivative instruments of $38 million, including $1 million for CECONY.

Interest Rate Swap

O&R has an interest rate swap pursuant to which it pays a fixed-rate of 6.09 percent and receives a LIBOR-based variable rate. The fair value of this interest rate swap at March 31, 2013 was an unrealized loss of $5 million, which has been included in Con Edison’s consolidated balance sheet as a noncurrent liability/fair value of derivative liabilities and a regulatory asset. The increase in the fair value of the swap for the three months ended March 31, 2013 was $1 million. In the event O&R’s credit rating was downgraded to BBB- or lower by S&P or Baa3 or lower by Moody’s, the swap counterparty could elect to terminate the agreement and, if it did so, the parties would then be required to settle the transaction.

Note L — Fair Value Measurements

The accounting rules for fair value measurements and disclosures define fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date in a principal or most advantageous market. Fair value is a market-based measurement that is determined based on inputs, which refer broadly to assumptions that market participants use in pricing assets or liabilities. These inputs can be readily observable, market corroborated, or generally unobservable firm inputs. The Companies often make certain assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, including assumptions about risk, and the risks inherent in the inputs to valuation techniques. The Companies use valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs.

The accounting rules for fair value measurements and disclosures established a fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value in three broad levels. The rules require that assets and liabilities be classified in their entirety based on the level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Assessing the significance of a particular input may require judgment considering factors specific to the asset or liability, and may affect the valuation of the asset or liability and their placement within the fair value hierarchy. The Companies classify fair value balances based on the fair value hierarchy defined by the accounting rules for fair value measurements and disclosures as follows:

Level 1 – Consists of assets or liabilities whose value is based on unadjusted quoted prices in active markets at the measurement date. An active market is one in which transactions for assets or liabilities occur with sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis. This category includes contracts traded on active exchange markets valued using unadjusted prices quoted directly from the exchange.

Level 2 – Consists of assets or liabilities valued using industry standard models and based on prices, other than quoted prices within Level 1, that are either directly or indirectly observable as of the measurement date. The industry standard models consider observable assumptions including time value, volatility factors, and current market and contractual prices for the underlying commodities, in addition to other economic measures. This category includes contracts traded on active exchanges or in over-the-counter markets priced with industry standard models.

Level 3 – Consists of assets or liabilities whose fair value is estimated based on internally developed models or methodologies using inputs that are generally less readily observable and supported by little, if any, market activity at the measurement date. Unobservable inputs are developed based on the best available information and subject to cost benefit constraints. This category includes contracts priced using models that are internally developed and contracts placed in illiquid markets. It also includes contracts that expire after the period of time for which quoted prices are available and internal models are used to determine a significant portion of the value.

The employees in the risk management groups of the Utilities and the competitive energy businesses develop and maintain the Companies’ valuation policies and procedures for, and verify pricing and fair value valuation of, commodity derivatives. Under the Companies’ policies and procedures, multiple independent sources of information are obtained for forward price curves used to value commodity derivatives. Fair value and changes in fair value of commodity derivatives are reported on a monthly basis to the Companies’ risk committees, comprised of officers and employees of the Companies that oversee energy hedging at the Utilities and the competitive energy businesses. The managers of the risk management groups report to the Companies’ Vice President and Treasurer.

(a) Amounts included in earnings are reported in investment and other income on the consolidated income statement.

For the Utilities, realized gains and losses on Level 3 commodity derivative assets and liabilities are reported as part of purchased power, gas and fuel costs. The Utilities generally recover these costs in accordance with rate provisions approved by the applicable state public utilities commissions. See Note A. Unrealized gains and losses for commodity derivatives are generally deferred on the consolidated balance sheet in accordance with the accounting rules for regulated operations.

For the competitive energy businesses, realized and unrealized gains and losses on Level 3 commodity derivative assets and liabilities are reported in non-utility revenues (immaterial and $3 million loss) and purchased power costs ($19 million gain and $43 million loss) on the consolidated income statement for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. The change in fair value relating to Level 3 commodity derivative assets held at March 31, 2013 and 2012 is included in non-utility revenues (immaterial and $3 million loss), and purchased power costs ($16 million gain and $7 million loss) on the consolidated income statement for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

The accounting rules for fair value measurements and disclosures require consideration of the impact of nonperformance risk (including credit risk) from a market participant perspective in the measurement of the fair value of assets and liabilities. At March 31, 2013, the Companies determined that nonperformance risk would have no material impact on their financial position or results of operations. To assess nonperformance risk, the Companies considered information such as collateral requirements, master netting arrangements, letters of credit and parent company guarantees, and applied a market-based method by using the counterparty (for an asset) or the Companies’ (for a liability) credit default swaps rates.

Note M — New Financial Accounting Standards

In December 2011 and January 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued amendments to address and clarify the scope of the balance sheet off-setting disclosure guidance within Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 210, “Balance Sheet.” ASU No. 2011-11 and ASU No. 2013-01, “Balance Sheet (Topic 210): Clarifying the Scope of Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities,” provide guidance that requires a reporting entity to disclose certain quantitative information concerning financial and derivative instruments that are offset in the balance sheet and a description of the rights of setoff, including the nature of such rights, associated with recognized assets and liabilities that are subject to an enforceable master netting arrangement or similar agreement. ASU No. 2013-01 clarifies that financial instruments subject to the disclosure guidance are (1) derivatives accounted for in accordance with

36


Table of Contents

ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging, (2) repurchase agreements and reverse purchase agreements and (3) securities borrowing and securities lending transactions that are either offset in accordance with ASC Section 210-20-45 or Section 815-10-45 or subject to an enforceable master netting arrangement or similar agreement. A reporting entity electing gross presentation of such assets and liabilities in its balance sheet will still be subject to the same disclosure requirements. Both ASUs are applicable for fiscal years beginning on or after January 1, 2013, interim periods within those fiscal years, and retrospectively for all comparative periods presented. The application of this guidance does not have a material impact on the Companies’ financial position, results of operations and liquidity. See Note K.

In February 2013, the FASB issued amendments to improve the reporting of reclassifications out of accumulated OCI through ASU No. 2013-02, “Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Reporting of Amounts Reclassified Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income.” The amendments require an entity to provide information either on the face of the financial statements or in a single footnote on significant amounts reclassified out of accumulated OCI and the related income statement line items to the extent an amount is reclassified in its entirety to net income under U.S. GAAP. For significant items not reclassified to net income in their entirety, an entity is required to cross-reference to other disclosures that provide additional information. For public entities, the amendments are effective prospectively for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2012. The application of this guidance does not have a material impact on the Companies’ financial position, results of operations and liquidity. See Note A.

Table of Contents

The Companies’ results of operations for three months ended March 31, 2013, as compared with 2012 period, reflect changes in the rate plans of Con Edison’s utility subsidiaries and the effects of the normal winter weather compared to the milder weather in 2012 on steam revenues. The rate plans provide for additional revenues to cover expected increases in certain operations and maintenance expenses, and depreciation and property taxes. The results of operations include the operating results of the competitive energy businesses.

Operations and maintenance expenses were higher primarily due to pension costs, surcharges for assessments and fees that are collected in revenues from customers and higher operating costs attributable to winter storm related emergency response. Depreciation and property taxes were higher in 2013 period, reflecting primarily the impact from higher utility plant balances.

The following table presents the estimated effect on earnings per share and net income for common stock for 2013 period compared with 2012 period, resulting from these and other major factors:

(a) Under the revenue decoupling mechanisms in CECONY’s electric and gas rate plans and the weather-normalization clause applicable to the gas business, revenues are generally not affected by changes in delivery volumes from levels assumed when rates were approved. Under CECONY’s rate plans, pension and other postretirement costs and certain other costs are reconciled to amounts reflected in rates for such costs.
(b) These variations include, in the first quarter of 2013, an after-tax charge of $150 million or $0.51 a share relating to the LILO transactions and a tax benefit of $15 million or $0.05 a share resulting from the acceptance by the IRS of the company’s claim for manufacturing tax deductions (see Notes H and I to the First Quarter Financial Statement). The variations also include after-tax net mark-to-market gains of $26 million or $0.09 a share in the first quarter of 2013 and after-tax net mark-to-market losses of $18 million or $0.06 a share in the first quarter of 2012.

Cash Flows from Operating Activities

The Utilities’ cash flows from operating activities reflect principally their energy sales and deliveries and cost of operations. The volume of energy sales and deliveries is dependent primarily on factors external to the Utilities, such as growth of customer demand, weather, market prices for energy, economic conditions and measures that promote energy efficiency. Under the revenue decoupling mechanisms in CECONY’s electric and gas rate plans and O&R’s New York electric and gas rate plans, changes in delivery volumes from levels assumed when rates were approved may affect the timing of cash flows but not net income. The prices at which the Utilities provide energy to their customers are determined in accordance with their rate agreements. In general, changes in the Utilities’ cost of purchased power, fuel and gas may affect the timing of cash flows but not net income because the costs are recovered in accordance with rate agreements.

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 include depreciation and deferred income tax expense. Principal non-cash credits include amortizations of certain net regulatory liabilities. Non-cash charges or credits may also be accrued under the revenue decoupling and cost reconciliation mechanisms in the Utilities’ electric and gas rate plans in New York.

Net cash flows from operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2013 for Con Edison and CECONY were $486 million and $18 million lower, respectively, than in 2012. The decreases in net cash flows for Con Edison reflects a special deposit for $447 million the company made in January 2013, with federal and state tax agencies relating primarily to the potential tax liability from the LILO transactions in past tax years and interest thereon.

The change in net cash flows for CECONY primarily associated with higher pension contribution ($51 million) offset in part by lower collateral paid to brokers and counterparties in the 2013 period ($37 million). CECONY contributed $235 million and $184 million to the pension plan during the 2013 and 2012 periods, respectively.

The change in net cash flows also reflects the timing of payments for and recovery of energy costs. This timing is reflected within changes to accounts receivable – customers, recoverable energy costs and accounts payable balances.

The changes in regulatory assets principally reflect changes in deferred pension costs in accordance with the accounting rules for retirement benefits.

Cash Flows Used in Investing Activities

Net cash flows used in investing activities for Con Edison and CECONY were $173 million and $75 million higher, respectively, for the three months ended March 31, 2013 compared with the 2012 period. The changes for Con Edison and CECONY reflect primarily increased utility construction expenditures in 2013. In addition, for Con Edison, the change reflects the construction relating to solar energy projects, offset in part by the receipt of government grant proceeds for these projects.

Cash Flows from Financing Activities

Net cash flows from financing activities for Con Edison and CECONY were $276 million higher and $324 million lower, respectively, in the three months ended March 31, 2013 compared with the 2012 period.

Table of Contents

In February 2013, CECONY issued $700 million of 3.95 percent 30-year debentures, the net proceeds from the sale of which were used to repay short-term borrowings and for other general corporate purposes. In February 2013, CECONY redeemed at maturity $500 million of 4.875 percent 10-year debentures.

In March 2012, CECONY issued $400 million 4.20 percent 30-year debentures, $239 million of the net proceeds from the sale of which were used to redeem all outstanding shares of its $5 Cumulative Preferred Stock and Cumulative Preferred Stock ($100 par value).

Cash flows from financing activities of the Companies also reflect commercial paper issuance. The commercial paper amounts outstanding at March 31, 2013 and 2012 and the average daily balances for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012 for Con Edison and CECONY were as follows:

At April 29, 2013, Con Edison had $746 million of commercial paper outstanding (including $387 million outstanding at CECONY). The decrease in Con Edison’s outstanding commercial paper from March 31, 2013 reflects, among other things, the use of proceeds from the April 2013 issuance by a Con Edison Development subsidiary of $219 million aggregate principal amount of 4.78 percent senior notes secured by the company’s California solar projects. The notes have a weighted average life of 15 years and final maturity of 2037.

The increases in Con Edison’s special deposits, notes payable, accrued interest and uncertain income tax liabilities primarily relates to the impact of the LILO transactions. See Notes H and I to the First Quarter Financial Statements.

Prepayments

The increase in prepayments for Con Edison and CECONY reflects primarily CECONY’s January 2013 payment of its New York City semi-annual property taxes, offset by three months of amortization, while the December 2012 balance reflects the full amortization of the previous semi-annual prepayment.

Regulatory Asset for Unrecognized Pension and Other Postretirement Costs and Noncurrent Liability for Pension and Retiree Benefits

The decrease in the regulatory asset for unrecognized pension and other postretirement costs and the noncurrent liability for pension and retiree benefits reflects the final actuarial valuation of the pension and other retiree benefit plans as measured at December 31, 2012, in accordance with the accounting rules for retirement benefits. The change in the regulatory asset also reflects the year’s amortization of accounting costs. The decrease in the noncurrent liability for pension and retiree benefits reflects in part contributions to the plans made by the Utilities in 2013. See Notes B, E and F to the First Quarter Financial Statements.

Capital Requirements and Resources

Con Edison has increased its estimate of capital expenditures in 2013 by its competitive energy businesses from $253 million to $375 million to reflect potential investments in renewable generation.

For each of the Companies, the ratio of earnings to fixed charges (Securities and Exchange Commission basis) for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012 and the twelve months ended December 31, 2012 was:

Regulatory Matters

In November 2012, the Governor of New York established a commission to review actions taken by New York utilities relating to emergency weather events, including Superstorm Sandy and other major storms, and to make recommendations regarding, among other things, the oversight, management and legal framework governing power delivery services in New York. See “Other Regulatory Matters” in Note B to the financial statements in Item 8. In March 2013, following the issuance of recommendations by the commission and submission by the Governor of a bill to the State legislature, the New York Public Service Law was amended to, among other things, authorize the NYSPSC to (i) levy expanded penalties against combination gas and electric utilities; (ii) review, at least every five years, an electric utility’s capability to provide safe, adequate and reliable service, order the utility to comply with additional and more stringent terms of service than existed prior to the review, assess the continued operation of the utility as the provider of electric service in its service territory and propose, and act upon, such measures as are necessary to ensure safe and adequate service; and (iii) based on findings of repeated violations of the New York Public Service Law or rules or regulations adopted thereto that demonstrate a failure of a combination gas and electric utility to continue to provide safe and adequate service, revoke or modify an operating certificate issued to the utility by the NYSPSC (following consideration of certain factors, including public interest and standards deemed necessary by the NYSPSC to ensure continuity of service, and due process).

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, credit risk and investment risk.

Interest Rate Risk

The interest rate risk relates primarily to variable rate debt and to new debt financing needed to fund capital

Table of Contents

requirements, including the construction expenditures of the Utilities and maturing debt securities. Con Edison and its businesses 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 March 31, 2013, a 10 percent increase in interest rates applicable to its variable rate debt would result in an increase in annual interest expense of $1 million. Under CECONY’s current gas, steam and electric rate plans, variations in actual long-term debt interest rates are reconciled to levels reflected in rates. Under O&R’s current New York rate plans, variations in actual tax-exempt (and under the gas rate plan, taxable) long-term debt interest expense are reconciled to the level set in rates.

In addition, from time to time, Con Edison and its businesses enter into derivative financial instruments to hedge interest rate risk on certain debt securities. See “Interest Rate Swap” in Note K to the First Quarter Financial Statements.

Commodity Price Risk

Con Edison’s commodity price risk relates primarily to the purchase and sale of electricity, gas and related derivative instruments. The Utilities and Con Edison’s competitive energy businesses apply risk management strategies to mitigate their related exposures. See Note K to the First Quarter Financial Statements.

Con Edison estimates that, as of March 31, 2013, a 10 percent decline in market prices would result in a decline in fair value of $56 million for the derivative instruments used by the Utilities to hedge purchases of electricity and gas, of which $47 million is for CECONY and $9 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. In accordance with provisions approved by state regulators, the Utilities generally recover from customers the costs they incur for energy purchased for their customers, including gains and losses on certain derivative instruments used to hedge energy purchased and related costs.

Con Edison’s competitive energy businesses use a value-at-risk (VaR) model to assess the market risk of their electricity and gas commodity fixed-price purchase and sales commitments, physical forward contracts and commodity derivative instruments. VaR represents the potential change in fair value of instruments or the portfolio due to changes in market factors, for a specified time period and confidence level. These businesses estimate VaR across their electricity and natural gas commodity businesses using a delta-normal variance/covariance model with a 95 percent confidence level. Since the VaR calculation involves complex methodologies and estimates and assumptions that are based on past experience, it is not necessarily indicative of future results. VaR for transactions associated with hedges and commodity contracts, assuming a one-day holding period, for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and the year ended December 31, 2012, respectively, was as follows:

Credit Risk

The Companies are exposed to credit risk related to transactions entered into primarily for the various energy supply and hedging activities by the Utilities and the competitive energy businesses. Credit risk relates to the loss that may result from a counterparty’s nonperformance. The Companies use credit policies to manage this risk, including an established credit approval process, monitoring of counterparty limits, netting provisions within agreements and collateral or prepayment arrangements, credit insurance and credit default swaps. The Companies measure credit risk exposure as the replacement cost for open energy commodity and derivative positions plus amounts owed from counterparties for settled transactions. The replacement cost of open positions represents unrealized gains, net of any unrealized losses where the Companies have a legally enforceable right of setoff. See “Credit Exposure” in Note K to the First Quarter Financial Statements.

44


Table of Contents

The Utilities had $25 million of credit exposure in connection with energy supply and hedging activities, net of collateral, at March 31, 2013, of which $17 million was with commodity exchange brokers and $8 million was with investment grade counterparties.

Con Edison’s competitive energy businesses had $133 million of credit exposure in connection with energy supply and hedging activities, net of collateral, at March 31, 2013, of which $48 million was with investment grade counterparties, $27 million was with commodity exchange brokers, $55 million was with independent system operators and $3 million was with non-investment grade or not rated counterparties.

Investment Risk

The Companies’ investment risk relates to the investment of plan assets for their pension and other postretirement benefit plans. The Companies’ current investment policy for pension plan assets includes investment targets of 60 percent equities and 40 percent fixed income and other securities. At March 31, 2013, the pension plan investments consisted of 61 percent equity and 39 percent fixed income and other securities.

Material Contingencies

For information concerning potential liabilities arising from the Companies’ material contingencies, see Notes B, G, and H to the First Quarter Financial Statements.

Results of Operations

See “Results of Operations – Summary,” above.

Results of operations reflect, among other things, the Companies’ accounting policies and rate plans that limit the rates the Utilities can charge their customers. Under the revenue decoupling mechanisms currently applicable to CECONY’s electric and gas businesses and O&R’s electric and gas businesses in New York, the Utilities’ delivery revenues generally will not be affected by changes in delivery volumes from levels assumed when rates were approved. Revenues for CECONY’s steam business and O&R’s businesses in New Jersey and Pennsylvania are affected by changes in delivery volumes resulting from weather, economic conditions and other factors.

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 the Companies’ results of operations. Management uses the term “net revenues” (operating revenues less such costs) to identify changes in operating revenues that may affect the Companies’ results of operations. Management believes that, although “net revenues” may not be a measure determined in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, the measure facilitates the analysis by management and investors of the Companies’ results of operations.

Con Edison’s principal business segments are CECONY’s regulated utility activities, O&R’s regulated utility activities and Con Edison’s competitive energy businesses. CECONY’s principal business segments are its regulated electric, gas and steam utility activities. A discussion of the results of operations by principal business segment for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012 follows. For additional business segment financial information, see Note J to the First Quarter Financial Statements.

CECONY’s electric operating revenues increased $79 million in the three months ended March 31, 2013 compared with the 2012 period due primarily to higher revenues from the electric rate plan ($59 million), higher purchased power ($9 million) and fuel costs ($15 million). CECONY’s 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. Other electric operating revenues generally reflect changes in regulatory assets and liabilities in accordance with the revenue decoupling mechanism and other provisions of the company’s rate plans.

Electric delivery volumes in CECONY’s service area increased 1.3 percent in the three months ended March 31, 2013 compared with the 2012 period. After adjusting for variations, principally weather and billing days, electric delivery volumes in CECONY’s service area decreased 0.8 percent in the three months ended March 31, 2013 compared with the 2012 period.

CECONY’s electric purchased power costs increased $9 million in the three months ended March 31, 2013 compared with the 2012 period due to an increase in unit costs ($19 million), offset by a decrease in purchased volumes ($10 million). Electric fuel costs increased $15 million in the three months ended March 31, 2013 compared with the 2012 period due to higher unit costs ($12 million) and higher sendout volumes from the company’s electric generating facilities ($3 million).

CECONY’s electric operating income decreased $35 million in the three months ended March 31, 2013 compared with the 2012 period. The decrease reflects primarily higher operations and maintenance costs ($62 million, due primarily to higher pension expense ($38 million), operating costs attributable to winter storm

CECONY’s steam operating revenues increased $69 million in the three months ended March 31, 2013 compared with the 2012 period due primarily to the higher fuel costs ($24 million), the net change in rates under the steam rate plans ($9 million) and normal winter weather in 2013 compared to the milder weather in 2012 period ($36 million). Other steam operating revenues generally reflect changes in regulatory assets and liabilities in accordance with the company’s rate plans.

Steam sales and delivery volumes increased 20.0 percent in the three months ended March 31, 2013 compared with the 2012 period. After adjusting for variations, principally weather and billing days, steam sales and deliveries decreased 3.1 percent in the three months ended March 31, 2013, reflecting lower average normalized use per customer.

CECONY’s steam fuel costs increased $24 million in the three months ended March 31, 2013 compared with the 2012 period due to higher unit costs ($10 million) and sendout volumes ($14 million). Steam purchased power costs decreased $1 million in the three months ended March 31, 2013 compared with the 2012 period due to a decrease in unit costs ($2 million), offset by higher purchased volumes ($1 million).

Steam operating income increased $30 million in the three months ended March 31, 2013 compared with the 2012 period. The increase reflects primarily higher net revenues ($46 million), offset in part by higher operations and maintenance expense ($16 million, due primarily to higher pension expense ($10 million) and higher surcharges that are collected in revenues from customers ($3 million)).

O&R’s electric operating revenues increased $17 million in the three months ended March 31, 2013 compared with the 2012 period due primarily to higher purchased power costs ($10 million), and higher revenues from the New York electric rate plan ($3 million). 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. O&R’s electric sales in New Jersey and Pennsylvania are not subject to a decoupling mechanism, and as a result, changes in such volumes do impact revenues. Other electric operating revenues generally reflect changes in regulatory assets and liabilities in accordance with the company’s electric rate plan.

Electric delivery volumes in O&R’s service area were the same as the 2012 period. After adjusting for weather and other variations, electric delivery volumes in O&R’s service area decreased 2.1 percent in the three months ended March 31, 2013 compared with the 2012 period.

Electric operating income increased $12 million in the three months ended March 31, 2013 compared with the 2012 period. The increase reflects primarily higher net revenues ($7 million) and lower operations and maintenance expense ($6 million, due primarily to lower pension expense), offset by higher depreciation and amortization expenses ($1 million).

Gas operating income decreased $3 million in the three months ended March 31, 2013 compared with the 2012 period. The decrease reflects primarily lower net revenues ($2 million) and higher taxes other than income taxes ($2 million), offset by lower operating and maintenance expenses ($1 million).

Income Taxes

Income taxes decreased $4 million in the three months ended March 31, 2013 compared with the 2012 period due primarily to changes in estimates relating to accumulated deferred income taxes.

The competitive energy businesses’ operating revenues decreased $158 million in the three months ended March 31, 2013 compared with the 2012 period, due primarily to the impact of the LILO transactions ($121 million, see Note H to the First Quarter Financial Statements) and lower electric retail and wholesale revenues. Electric retail revenues decreased $23 million, due to lower sales volume ($36 million), offset by higher unit prices ($13 million). Electric wholesale revenues decreased $17 million in the three months ended March 31, 2013 as compared with the 2012 period, due to lower sales volumes ($13 million) and unit prices ($4 million). Net mark-to-market values increased $77 million in the three months ended March 31, 2013 as compared with the 2012 period, of which $72 million in gains are reflected in purchased power costs and $5 million in gains are reflected in revenues. Other revenues decreased $2 million in the three months ended March 31, 2013 as compared with the 2012 period.

Purchased power costs decreased $93 million in the three months ended March 31, 2013 compared with the 2012 period, due primarily to changes in mark-to-market values ($72 million) and lower volumes ($51 million), offset by higher unit prices ($30 million). Operating income decreased $62 million in 2013 compared with 2012 due primarily to the impact of the LILO transactions ($121 million) and lower margins ($13 million), offset by net mark-to-market effects ($77 million).

Net Interest Expense

Net interest expense increased $128 million in the three months ended March 31, 2013 compared with the 2012 period, due primarily to the impact of the LILO transactions. See Note H to the First Quarter Financial Statements.

Income Taxes

Income taxes decreased $91 million in the three months ended March 31, 2013 compared with the 2012 period, due primarily to the impact of the LILO transactions and a tax benefit resulting from the acceptance by the IRS of the company’s claim for manufacturing tax deductions (see Notes H and I to the First Quarter Financial Statements).

Other

For Con Edison, “Other” also includes inter-company eliminations relating to operating revenues and operating expenses.
