1. Basis of Presentation
Description of Business
We are the nation's largest producer of clean and reliable energy and a leading supplier of energy products and services. Our fleet of generation assets includes nuclear, natural gas, oil, hydroelectric, geothermal, wind, and solar facilities. Through our integrated business operations, we sell electricity, natural gas, and other energy-related products and sustainable solutions to various types of customers, including distribution utilities, municipalities, cooperatives, and commercial, industrial, public sector, and residential customers in markets across multiple geographic regions. We have six reportable segments: Mid-Atlantic, Midwest, New York, ERCOT, Other Power Regions, and Calpine.
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements as of March 31, 2026 and for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025 are unaudited but, in our opinion, include all adjustments that are considered necessary for a fair statement of the results for the periods reported herein in accordance with GAAP. All adjustments are of a normal, recurring nature, unless otherwise disclosed. The Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of our subsidiaries and all intercompany transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Our December 31, 2025 Consolidated Balance Sheet was derived from audited financial statements. The interim financial statements are to be read in conjunction with prior annual financial statements and notes. Financial results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for any other interim period or for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2026. These Combined Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC for Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q. Certain information and note disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the presentation in the current period. Amounts disclosed relate to CEG Parent and Constellation unless specifically noted as relating to CEG Parent only. Unless otherwise indicated or the context otherwise requires, references herein to the terms “we,” “us,” and “our” refer collectively to CEG Parent and Constellation.
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
See Note 1 — Basis of Presentation of our 2025 Form 10-K for additional information on significant accounting policies.
2. Mergers, Acquisitions, and Dispositions
Acquisition of Calpine Corporation
On January 7, 2026 (the “Acquisition Date”), we acquired all of the outstanding equity interests in Calpine in a cash and stock transaction. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement and related transaction steps, Calpine was converted into a limited liability company, Calpine LLC, and became a wholly owned subsidiary of Constellation.
This acquisition is complementary to, and aligns strategically with, our existing business operations and provides both increased scale and meaningful market diversification. The merger couples the largest producer of clean, emissions-free energy with the reliable, dispatchable natural gas assets of Calpine, and also creates the nation’s leading competitive retail electric supplier, providing increased scale, diversification and complementary capabilities that enable us to meet growing demand with a broad array of energy and sustainability products. The addition of Calpine strengthens our essential role in providing clean, reliable energy as the nation seeks to transition to a more sustainable future, and will improve our position to pursue investments in new and existing technologies to meet growing demand.
The merger consideration consisted of 50 million newly issued shares of our common stock, no par value, and approximately $ 4.5 billion in cash. In connection with the merger, certain of the newly issued shares will be subject to a lock-up period, which expires on June 30, 2026, for 50 % of the shares and on June 30, 2027, for the remaining 50 %.

Note 2 — Mergers, Acquisitions, and Dispositions
Calpine operates a competitive retail electric supplier platform serving approximately 62 TWhs of load annually. Calpine also owns and operates a generation fleet of natural gas, oil, geothermal, battery storage, and solar assets with approximately 23 GWs of generation capacity, after considering divestitures required by certain regulatory approvals for the transaction. The final regulatory clearance for the merger was the DOJ resolution, which requires the divestiture of five generating assets located in PJM, one in ERCOT, and Calpine's minority interest in the Gregory Power Plant, also in ERCOT. The DOJ resolution requires us to enter into definitive agreement(s) to divest these assets within 240 days of closing the acquisition, by September 4, 2026.
The transaction was accounted for as a business combination using the acquisition method of accounting where we are considered the acquirer for accounting purposes. We recognized the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed at their estimated fair values as of January 7, 2026, with any excess of the consideration transferred over the fair value of net identifiable assets recognized as goodwill.
In January 2026, we completed the divestiture of Calpine's minority ownership interest in the Gregory Power Plant, as required under the terms of the DOJ resolution. In March 2026, we entered into an agreement with LS Power Equity Advisors, LLC ("LS Power") whereby we will sell five generation assets in PJM to LS Power, which comprise approximately 4.4 GW of predominantly natural gas-fired generation capacity located in Delaware and Pennsylvania, for aggregate consideration of $ 5.0 billion before closing adjustments. Closing of the sale is subject to receipt of applicable regulatory approvals, including review by the DOJ and FERC, and other customary closing conditions. We are taking steps to divest the ERCOT plant, the last asset sale required to satisfy our regulatory commitments under the merger. Certain of the generation assets being sold are currently secured under project financing arrangements, see Note 13 — Debt and Credit Agreements for additional information.
Consideration Transferred
The following table summarizes the components of the total merger consideration transferred. There was no contingent consideration associated with the acquisition.
Fair value of CEG Parent common stock issued (a)
$ 17,603
Cash consideration (b)
4,342
Fair value of common stock subject to vesting period attributable to post-combination expense (c)
( 96 )
Effective settlement of preexisting relationships ( 14 )
Total merger consideration $ 21,835
__________
(a) Represents the fair value of approximately 50 million shares of CEG Parent common stock issued in connection with the acquisition, calculated using CEG Parent’s closing stock price of $ 354.58 on January 6, 2026, the last trading day prior to the Acquisition Date. The fair value of the stock consideration is based on an observable market price and represents a Level 1 fair value measurement.
(b) Represents cash paid to Calpine shareholders in connection with the acquisition. The amount reflects the $ 4.5 billion base cash consideration per the Merger Agreement, reduced by certain adjustments based on contractual terms also specified in the Merger Agreement.
(c) Certain CEG Parent common stock issued to Calpine employees in exchange for their equity interests is subject to a vesting period of up to 26 months and has been excluded from merger consideration. These amounts will be recognized as stock-based compensation expense over the applicable vesting period in accordance with authoritative guidance.

(c) Long-term Debt (including amounts due within one year). We assumed total debt of $ 12,551 million at estimated fair value as of the Acquisition Date, comprising $ 279 million classified as Long-term debt due within one year and $ 12,272 million classified as Long-term debt, in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. See Note 13 — Debt and Credit Agreements for additional information.
(d) Goodwill. Represents the excess of the purchase price over the estimated fair value of the net assets acquired. Goodwill recognized primarily reflects the expected benefits from increased scale and meaningful market diversification, complementary generation and retail capabilities, and an enhanced ability to meet growing demand with a broader array of energy and sustainability products, to the extent such benefits are not separately recognizable as identifiable intangible assets. Goodwill will be assigned to the reporting units expected to benefit from the acquisition. The assignment of goodwill to the reporting units has not been completed as of the date of these financial statements due to the preliminary nature of the purchase price allocation. The goodwill recognized in connection with the acquisition is not expected to be deductible for income tax purposes.
Valuation of Significant Assets and Liabilities
The preliminary fair values assigned to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed were determined based on significant estimates and assumptions that are judgmental in nature, including projected future cash flows; discount rates reflecting the risks inherent in the future cash flows; and future market prices, among others. These estimates and assumptions were applied to the valuation of significant acquired assets and assumed liabilities, including property, plant and equipment, assets held for sale, and unamortized energy contracts, and required assessments of current and projected market conditions and operating strategies. Forecasting future cash flows requires assumptions regarding, among other things, forecasted commodity prices for the sale of power and purchases of fuel and the expected operations of the assets, and judgments are also made to determine the expected useful lives assigned to each class of assets acquired and the duration of liabilities assumed.
Other Key Accounting Impacts & Judgments
Identifiable intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed in connection with the acquisition include customer relationships, trade names, and energy contracts, recorded at estimated fair value. The weighted average amortization periods reflect weighted average useful lives of 15 years for customer relationships, five years for trade names, and six years for energy contracts.
We also recognized the fair value of acquired commodity and interest rate derivatives and related hedging relationships as of the Acquisition Date; related gains or losses subsequent to acquisition will be recognized in earnings consistent with our accounting policies. For additional information on derivative instruments, see Note 12 — Derivative Financial Instruments.
The amounts recognized for property, plant and equipment, identifiable intangible assets and liabilities (including customer relationships, trade names, and unamortized energy contracts) and their useful lives, lease assets and liabilities, asset retirement and environmental obligations, contingencies, and income taxes (including deferred taxes) are provisional and subject to revision during the measurement period.
Acquisition-related costs (e.g., advisory, legal, valuation, and other professional fees) are expensed as incurred and reflected within Operating and maintenance expenses in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income. These costs, which are not included in the consideration transferred, were not material for the three months ended March 31, 2026.

As discussed in Note 5 — Segment Information, Calpine is now presented as a reportable segment, and RNF is the segment performance metric, a component of which includes revenue. From the Acquisition Date through March 31, 2026, Operating revenues attributable to Calpine were $ 3,136 million . However, as a result of the commencement of integration activities for certain functions and the consolidation of financing activities (see Note 13 — Debt and Credit Agreements), it is impracticable to determine Calpine’s earnings since the Acquisition Date.
3. Regulatory Matters
As discussed in Note 3 — Regulatory Matters of our 2025 Form 10-K, we are involved in various regulatory and legislative proceedings. The following discusses developments in 2026 and updates to the 2025 Form 10-K.
Capacity Interconnection Rights for Crane Clean Energy Center
In 2024, we announced the restart of Three Mile Island Unit 1, renamed as the Crane Clean Energy Center. The restart is supported by a 20-year PPA with Microsoft to purchase the output generated from the renewed plant. The restart of the plant and delivery of electricity under the PPA is subject to certain regulatory approvals, including the NRC comprehensive safety and environmental review, as well as permits from relevant state and local agencies.
PJM's Phase I System Impact Study for Crane identified contingent transmission upgrades that would need to be completed for Crane to be fully deliverable to the grid, some of which suggested projected in-service dates extending as late as December 2030.
In March 2026, we filed a waiver request with FERC to allow the transfer of capacity interconnection rights (CIRs) from Eddystone to Crane with the aim of reducing the number of contingent upgrades that would need to be completed prior to Crane being fully deliverable to the grid. Eddystone Units 3 and 4 were previously announced as having a planned retirement date of May 31, 2025, but have been required to continue operating as energy-only resources under DOE emergency orders issued in 2025 and 2026 for grid reliability. Transferring the Eddystone CIRs to Crane will not affect PJM's ability to operate and dispatch Eddystone for reliability in compliance with the DOE's orders. We have requested that FERC grant the requested waiver no later than June 1, 2026.

4. Revenue from Contracts with Customers
We recognize revenue from contracts with customers to depict the transfer of goods or services to customers at an amount that we expect to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services. Our primary sources of revenue include competitive sales of power, natural gas, and other energy-related products and sustainable solutions.
See Note 4 — Revenue from Contracts with Customers of our 2025 Form 10-K for additional information regarding the performance obligations, revenue recognition, and payment terms associated with these sources of revenue.

5. Segment Information
Operating segments are determined based on information used by the CODM in deciding how to evaluate performance and allocate resources. We have six reportable segments consisting of the Mid-Atlantic, Midwest, New York, ERCOT, all other power regions referred to collectively as “Other Power Regions,” and Calpine.
Following the acquisition of Calpine on January 7, 2026, Calpine's operations are being reported as a new reportable segment given the results of its operations will be reviewed by the CODM separately from our historical reporting segments.
With the exception of Calpine, the basis for our reportable segments is the integrated management of our electricity business that is located in different geographic regions, and largely representative of the footprints of ISO/RTO and/or NERC regions, which utilize multiple supply sources to provide electricity through various distribution channels (wholesale and retail). Our hedging strategies and risk metrics are also aligned to these same geographic regions. Descriptions of each of our six reportable segments are as follows:
• Mid-Atlantic represents operations in the eastern half of PJM, which includes New Jersey, Maryland, Virginia, West Virginia, Delaware, the District of Columbia, and parts of Pennsylvania and North Carolina.
• Midwest represents operations in the western half of PJM and the United States footprint of MISO, excluding MISO’s Southern Region.
• New York represents operations within NYISO.
• ERCOT represents operations within Electric Reliability Council of Texas that covers a majority of the state of Texas.

Note 5 — Segment Information
• Other Power Regions:
• New England represents operations within ISO-NE.
• South represents operations in FRCC, MISO’s Southern Region, and the remaining portions of SERC not included within MISO or PJM.
• West represents operations in WECC, which includes CAISO.
• Canada represents operations across the entire country of Canada and includes AESO, OIESO, and the Canadian portion of MISO.
• Calpine represents operations acquired through the merger with Calpine on January 7, 2026, which are located throughout the country, including CAISO, ERCOT, PJM, ISO-NE, NYISO, MISO, SERC, Arizona, Oregon, and Canada.
Constellation's CEO is considered the CODM and evaluates the performance of our electric business activities and allocates resources based on segment RNF, primarily through review of budget-to-actual variance analyses. RNF is Operating revenues net of Purchased power and fuel expenses. We believe this is a useful measurement of operational performance, although it is not a presentation defined under GAAP and may not be comparable to other companies’ presentations nor deemed more useful than the GAAP information provided elsewhere in this report. In our evaluation of operating segments, we noted the CODM reviews a variety of performance and profitability measures at a consolidated level with a primary focus on RNF reporting at the geographic regional level, with the exception of Calpine which is reviewed on a standalone basis. Our operating revenues include all sales to third parties as well as government assistance. Purchased power and fuel expenses are considered the most significant segment expense. Purchased power costs include all costs associated with the procurement and supply of electricity including capacity, energy, and ancillary services. Fuel expense includes the fuel costs for our owned generation and fuel costs associated with tolling agreements. The results of our other business activities are not regularly reviewed by the CODM and are therefore not classified as operating segments nor included in the reportable segment amounts. These activities include wholesale and retail sales of natural gas, with the exception of Calpine's natural gas sales which are included in the Calpine segment, energy-related sales in the United Kingdom, as well as sales of other energy-related products and sustainable solutions that are not significant to our overall results of operations. Further, our unrealized gains and losses on economic hedging activities and our amortization of certain intangible assets and liabilities relating to commodity contracts recorded at fair value from mergers and acquisitions are also excluded from the reportable segment amounts. The CODM does not use a measure of total assets in making decisions regarding allocating resources to or assessing the performance of these reportable segments.
The following tables, which relate directly to our Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income, provide the reconciliation of operating revenues, purchased power and fuel expenses, and RNF for our reportable segments for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025.

Purchased power and fuel expenses include unrealized losses of $ 254 million and $ 34 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively.
6. Government Assistance
Beginning in 2024, our nuclear units are eligible for a PTC extending through 2032. See Note 1 — Basis of Presentation and Note 6 — Government Assistance of our 2025 Form 10-K for additional information on nuclear PTCs.
For the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, we did not record a material nuclear PTC benefit as the estimate of full year gross receipts exceeded the phase-out for annual gross receipts per MWh for most units. As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, our Consolidated Balance Sheets reflect approximately $ 125 million and $ 120 million, respectively, of nuclear PTCs within Other deferred debits and other assets. For the three months ended March 31, 2026, we did not utilize any estimated nuclear PTCs as a credit against our current federal income taxes payable. For the year ended December 31, 2025, we recognized a reduction to Accounts payable and accrued expenses in our Consolidated Balance Sheets of $ 375 million for estimated nuclear PTCs that we have utilized as a credit against our current federal income taxes payable.
Many of the state-sponsored programs providing compensation for the emissions-free attributes of generation from certain of our nuclear units include contractual or other provisions that require us to refund that compensation up to the amount of the nuclear PTC received or pass through the entirety of the nuclear PTC received. As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, we have recognized approximately $ 740 million and $ 1,190 million, respectively, of estimated payables within Other deferred credits and other liabilities , Accounts payable and accrued expenses or as offsets to Accounts receivable, net in our Consolidated Balance Sheets associated with programs requiring refunds or pass through of the nuclear PTC. In general, we expect to remit refunds or pass-throughs of state-sponsored program compensation related to nuclear PTCs in the year following the filing of the related tax return. During the three months ended March 31, 2026, we refunded or offset against outstanding receivables approximately $ 450 million associated with state-sponsored program compensation relating to the nuclear PTCs recorded in 2024. During the three months ended March 31, 2026, we recognized a reduction to net operating revenue of approximately $ 285 million associated with these programs in our Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income, compared to an increase to net operating revenue (pre-tax) of approximately $ 110 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025.

We recorded $ 1,465 million and $ 1,305 million of unbilled customer revenues in Accounts receivable, net in the Consolidated Balance Sheets as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively.
Calpine Accounts Receivable Sales Program
Following the acquisition of Calpine on January 7, 2026, the Company has assumed Calpine's Accounts Receivable Sales Program (Calpine AR Facility). The Calpine AR Facility was established by Calpine in December 2016 and was last renewed in November 2025 with a current expiration of November 2026. The Calpine AR Facility is a receivables purchase agreement between Calpine Energy Solutions, LLC and Calpine Receivables, LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary that is accounted for as an unconsolidated VIE, along with an additional purchase and sale agreement between Calpine Receivables, LLC, and unaffiliated financial institutions, the combination of which allow for the revolving sale of up to $ 500 million in certain trade accounts receivables of Calpine Energy Solutions, LLC to third parties at a nominal discount.

(Dollars in millions, unless otherwise noted)
Note 7 — Accounts Receivable
Receivables sold under the Calpine AR Facility are accounted for as sales and excluded from Accounts receivable, net in the Consolidated Balance Sheets and reflected as Cash provided by operating activities in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. Any portion of the purchase price for the sold receivables which is not paid in cash is recorded as a short-term note receivable within Accounts receivable, net, which was not material as of March 31, 2026. Our risk of loss following the transfer of accounts receivable is limited to the note receivable outstanding. Payment of the note receivable is not subject to significant risks other than delinquencies and credit losses on accounts receivable transferred.
The Company has guaranteed the performance of Calpine Energy Solutions, LLC to Calpine Receivables, LLC under the Calpine AR Facility, see Note 15 — Commitments and Contingencies for additional information. Additionally, see Note 17 — Variable Interest Entities for additional information on Calpine Receivables, LLC and its status as an unconsolidated VIE.
There was $ 564 million in gross accounts receivable outstanding that were sold at a nominal discount under the Calpine AR Facility as of March 31, 2026 and the $ 500 million facility amount was fully utilized. The following table summarizes certain activity for the period under the Calpine AR Facility:

(b) Excludes assets held for sale related to acquisition of Calpine. See Note 2 — Mergers, Acquisitions, and Dispositions for additional information.
The estimated useful lives of our generating facilities are based on a combination of depreciation studies, historical retirements, site licenses and management estimates of operating costs and expected energy market conditions. As a result of the acquisition of Calpine, we added a fleet of natural gas, oil, geothermal, battery storage and solar assets. There were no material changes in the estimated useful lives of our combined oil and gas, battery storage, wind and solar facilities as a result. Geothermal facility depreciation provisions are based on an estimated useful life through 2066. For additional information about the useful lives of our generating facilities and depreciation provisions see Note 8 — Property, Plant, and Equipment of our 2025 Form 10-K.

Nuclear Decommissioning Asset Retirement Obligations
We have a legal obligation to decommission our nuclear power plants following the permanent cessation of operations. See Note 10 — Asset Retirement Obligations of our 2025 Form 10-K for additional information regarding AROs and the financial statement impact of changes in estimates.
The following table provides a rollforward of the nuclear decommissioning AROs reflected in the Consolidated Balance Sheets from December 31, 2025 to March 31, 2026:
Balance as of December 31, 2025

Net decrease due to changes in, and timing of, estimated future cash flows
( 1,277 )
Costs incurred related to decommissioning plants ( 4 )
Balance as of March 31, 2026
$ 11,792
During the three months ended March 31, 2026, the net $ 1,277 million decrease in the ARO for the changes in, and timing of, estimated future cash flows was driven primarily by c hanges in assumed retirement dates for various plants, including Calvert Cliffs, Fitzpatrick, Limerick, and Nine Mile Point.
The 2026 ARO update resulted in a decrease of $ 285 million in Operating and maintenance expense for the three months ended March 31, 2026 in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive income.
NDT Funds
We had NDT funds totaling $ 19,494 million and $ 19,396 million as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively. The current portions of the NDT funds, which are included in Other current assets in our Consolidated Balance Sheets, wer e not material as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025. See Note 18 — Supplemental Financial Information for additional information on activities of the NDT funds.

NRC Minimum Funding Requirements
NRC regulations require that licensees of nuclear generating facilities demonstrate reasonable assurance that funds will be available in specified minimum amounts for radiological decommissioning of the facility at the end of its life.
We filed our annual decommissioning funding status report with the NRC for our shutdown units, and any units within five years of shutdown in March 2026. The status report demonstrated adequate decommissioning funding assurance as of December 31, 2025 for all units included in the report.

Note 10 — Income Taxes
Other Tax Matters
Tax Matters Agreement
In connection with the separation, we entered into a TMA with Exelon. The TMA governs the respective rights, responsibilities, and obligations between us and Exelon after the separation with respect to tax liabilities and benefits, tax attributes, tax returns, tax contests and other tax sharing regarding U.S. federal, state, local and foreign income taxes, other tax matters and related tax returns.
Responsibility and Indemnification for Taxes. As a former subsidiary of Exelon, we have joint and several liability with Exelon to the IRS and certain state jurisdictions relating to the taxable periods in which we were included in joint federal and state filings. However, the TMA specifies the portion of this tax liability for which we will bear contractual responsibility, and we and Exelon agreed to indemnify each other against any amounts for which such indemnified party is not responsible. Specifically, we will be liable for taxes due and payable in connection with tax returns that we are required to file. We will also be liable for our share of certain taxes required to be paid by Exelon with respect to taxable years or periods (or portions thereof) ending on or prior to the separation to the extent that we would have been responsible for such taxes under the Exelon tax sharing agreement then existing. As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively, our Consolidated Balance Sheets reflect $ 32 million and $ 43 million in Other deferred credits and other liabilities, for tax liabilities where we maintain contractual responsibility to Exelon.
Tax Refunds and Attributes. The TMA provides for the allocation of certain pre-closing tax attributes between us and Exelon. Tax attributes will be allocated in accordance with the principles set forth in the existing Exelon tax sharing agreement, unless otherwise required by law. Under the TMA, we will be entitled to refunds for taxes for which we are responsible. In addition, it is expected that Exelon will have tax attributes that may be used to offset Exelon’s future tax liabilities. A significant portion of such attributes were generated by our business. In February 2024, we executed an amendment to the TMA that modified the timing of Exelon's payment of amounts due to us. In March 2026, we adjusted our receivable under the TMA as a result of IRS Notice 2026-7, as discussed below. As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively, we had $ 58 million and $ 175 million in Accounts receivable, net and $ 373 million and $ 21 million in Other deferred debits and other assets for the reclassified tax attributes expected to be utilized by Exelon after separation in accordance with the terms of the TMA.
IRS Notice 2026-7. In February 2026, the IRS issued Notice 2026‑7 (the “Notice”), which provides guidance on the implementation of the corporate alternative minimum tax (CAMT). The Notice permits taxpayers to deduct repair and maintenance costs under tax law principles in determining adjusted financial statement income and applies retroactively to previously filed tax returns. As a result of this Notice, Exelon amended its 2023 and 2024 tax returns to reflect less CAMT and thus lower utilization of previously refunded tax attributes.
We received a demand letter from Exelon in February 2026, and as a result, in March 2026 we remitted $ 235 million to Exelon under the TMA related to prior periods. We increased our receivable for the $ 235 million in the first quarter of 2026, as reflected above, as we expect Exelon to pay us as it utilizes these tax attributes in future periods.

12. Derivative Financial Instruments
We use derivative instruments to manage commodity price risk and interest rate risk related to ongoing business operations.
Authoritative guidance requires that derivative instruments be recognized as either assets or liabilities at fair value, with changes in fair value of the derivative recognized in earnings immediately. Other accounting treatments, including NPNS, are available through special election and designation, provided they meet specific, restrictive criteria both at the time of designation and on an ongoing basis. All derivative instruments, excluding NPNS, are recorded at fair value through earnings. For all NPNS derivative instruments, accounts receivable or accounts payable are recorded when derivatives settle, and revenue or expense is recognized in earnings as the underlying physical commodity is delivered.
Authoritative guidance about offsetting assets and liabilities requires the fair value of derivative instruments to be shown in the Combined Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements on a gross basis, even when the derivative instruments are subject to legally enforceable master netting agreements and qualify for net presentation in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. A master netting agreement is an agreement between two counterparties that may have derivative and non-derivative contracts with each other providing for the net settlement of all referenced contracts via one payment stream, which takes place as the contracts deliver, when collateral is requested or in the event of default. In the tables below, which present fair value balances, our energy-related economic hedges are shown gross. The impact of the netting of fair value balances with the same counterparty that are subject to legally enforceable master netting agreements, as well as netting of cash collateral, including margin on exchange positions, is aggregated in the collateral and netting columns.
Our use of cash collateral is generally unrestricted unless we were downgraded below investment grade. As our senior unsecured debt rating is currently rated at BBB+ and Baa1 by S&P and Moody's, respectively, it would take a three-notch downgrade by S&P or Moody's for our rating to go below investment grade.

Note 12 — Derivative Financial Instruments
Commodity Price Risk
We employ established policies and procedures to manage our risks associated with market fluctuations in commodity prices by entering into physical and financial derivative contracts, including swaps, futures, forwards, options, and short-term and long-term commitments to purchase and sell energy and energy-related products. We believe these instruments, which are either determined to be non-derivative or classified as economic hedges, mitigate exposure to fluctuations in commodity prices.
In general, increases and decreases in forward market prices have a positive and negative impact, respectively, on owned and contracted generation positions that have not been hedged. Beginning in 2024, our existing nuclear fleet is eligible for a nuclear PTC, an important tool in managing commodity price risk for each nuclear unit not already receiving state support. The nuclear PTC provides increasing levels of support as unit revenues decline below levels established in the IRA and is further adjusted for inflation annually through the duration of the program based on the GDP price deflator for the preceding calendar year. See Note 6 — Government Assistance for additional information.
In locations and periods where our load serving activities do not naturally offset existing generation portfolio risk, remaining commodity price exposure is managed through portfolio hedging activities. Portfolio hedging activities are generally concentrated in the prompt three years, when customer demand and market liquidity enable effective price risk mitigation. During this prompt three-year period, we seek to mitigate the price risk associated with our load serving contracts, non-nuclear generation, and any residual price risk for our nuclear generation that the nuclear PTC and state programs may not fully mitigate. We also enter into transactions that further optimize the economic benefits of our overall portfolio.
To the extent the amount of energy we produce or procure differs from the amount of energy we have contracted to sell, we are exposed to market fluctuations in the prices of electricity, natural gas, and other commodities. We use a variety of derivative and non-derivative instruments to manage the commodity price risk of our electric generation facilities, including power and gas sales, fuel and power purchases, natural gas transportation and pipeline capacity agreements, and other energy-related products marketed and purchased. To manage these risks, we may enter into fixed-price derivative or non-derivative contracts to hedge the variability in future cash flows from expected sales of power and gas and purchases of power and fuel. The objectives for executing such hedges include fixing the price for a portion of anticipated future electricity sales at a level that provides an acceptable return. We are also exposed to differences between the locational settlement prices of certain economic hedges and the hedged generating units. This price difference is actively managed through other instruments which include derivative congestion products, whose changes in fair value are recognized in earnings each period, and auction revenue rights, which are accounted for on an accrual basis.

Note 12 — Derivative Financial Instruments
Interest Rate Risk
We utilize interest rate swaps to manage our interest rate exposure, which are treated as economic hedges. The notional amounts for interest rate swaps were approximately $ 4.6 billion and $ 1.4 billion as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively.
The derivative assets and liabilities as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025 and the gains and losses associated with management of interest rate risk for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025 were not material. The gains and losses associated with management of interest rate risk are included in the Net fair value changes related to derivatives line in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.
Credit Risk
We would be exposed to credit-related losses in the event of non-performance by counterparties on executed derivative instruments. The credit exposure of derivative contracts, before collateral, is represented by the fair value of contracts as of the reporting date.
For commodity derivatives, we enter into enabling agreements that allow for payment netting with our counterparties, which reduces our exposure to counterparty risk by providing for the offset of amounts payable to the counterparty against amounts receivable from the counterparty. Typically, each enabling agreement is for a specific commodity and, with respect to each individual counterparty, netting is limited to t ransactions involving that specific commodity product, except where master netting agreements exist with a counterparty that allows for cross product netting. In addition to right of offset language in the enabling agreement, our credit department establishes credit limits, margining thresholds and collateral requirements for each counterparty, which are defined in the derivative contracts. Counterparty credit limits are based on an internal credit review process that considers a variety of factors, including the results of a scoring model, leverage, liquidity, profitability, credit ratings by credit rating agencies, and other risk management criteria. To the extent that a counterparty’s margining thresholds are exceeded, the counterparty is required to post collateral with us, as specified in each enabling agreement. Our credit department monitors current and forward credit exposure to counterparties and their affiliates, both on an individual and an aggregate basis.
The following tables provide information on the credit exposure for derivative instruments, inclusive of payables and receivables, net of collateral and instruments that are subject to master netting agreements, as of March 31, 2026. The amounts in the tables below exclude credit risk exposure from individual retail counterparties, NPNS contracts, forward values on non-derivative contracts and exposure through RTOs, ISOs, as well as commodity exchanges. The tables further delineate that exposure by credit rating of the counterparties and provide guidance on the concentration of credit risk to individual counterparties.

Credit-Risk-Related Contingent Features
As part of the normal course of business, we routinely enter into physically and financially settled contracts for the purchase and sale of capacity, electricity, fuels, emissions allowances, and other energy-related products. Certain of our derivative instruments contain provisions that require us to post collateral. We also enter into commodity transactions on exchanges where the exchanges act as the counterparty to each trade. Transactions on the exchanges must adhere to comprehensive collateral and margining requirements. This collateral may be posted in the form of cash or credit support with thresholds contingent upon our credit ratings from S&P and Moody's. The collateral and credit support requirements vary by contract and by counterparty. These credit-risk-related contingent features stipulate that if we were to be downgraded or lose our investment grade credit ratings (based on our senior unsecured debt rating), we would be required to provide additional collateral. This incremental collateral requirement allows for the offsetting of derivative instruments that are assets with the same counterparty, where the contractual right of offset exists under applicable master netting agreements. In the absence of expressly agreed-to provisions that specify the collateral that must be provided, collateral requested will be a function of the facts and circumstances of the situation at the time of the demand. In such cases, we believe an amount of several months of future payments (e.g., capacity payments) rather than a calculation of fair value is a reasonable estimate for the contingent collateral obligation, which has been factored into the disclosure below.
The aggregate fair value of all derivative instruments with credit-risk-related contingent features in a liability position that are not fully collateralized (excluding transactions on the exchanges that are fully collateralized) is detailed in the table below:

Additional collateral required in the event of a credit downgrade below investment grade (at BB+/Ba1) (a)(b)(c)
2,972 2,670
__________
(a) Certain of our contracts contain provisions that allow a counterparty to request additional collateral when there has been a subjective determination that our credit quality has deteriorated, generally termed “adequate assurance”. Due to the subjective nature of these provisions, we estimate the amount of collateral that we may ultimately be required to post in relation to the maximum exposure with the counterparty.
(b) The downgrade collateral is inclusive of all contracts in a liability position regardless of accounting treatment and excludes any contracts with individual retail counterparties.
(c) A loss of investment grade credit rating would require a three-notch downgrade from current levels of BBB+ and Baa1 at S&P and Moody's, respectively.
We routinely enter into supply forward contracts with certain utilities with one-sided collateral postings only from us. If market prices fall below the benchmark price levels in these contracts, the utilities are not required to post collateral. However, when market prices rise above the benchmark price levels, we are required to post collateral once certain unsecured credit limits are exceeded.
13. Debt and Credit Agreements
Long-Term Debt
Calpine Acquisition
Upon completion of the acquisition of Calpine in January 2026, we assumed approximately $ 12.6 billion of debt inclusive of approximately $ 7.6 billion of corporate long-term debt, including senior unsecured and secured notes and corporate term loans in addition to approximately $ 5.0 billion of various project financing arrangements. Pursuant to the Exchange Offers discussed below, we issued new notes in January 2026 effectively replacing $ 2.3 billion of Calpine's senior unsecured and secured notes with Constellation senior unsecured notes. Using the proceeds from our January 2026 bond issuance, as discussed below, along with cash on hand and short-term debt, we repaid $ 2.5 billion of Calpine corporate term loans immediately after the acquisition closing, $ 1.25 billion of Calpine senior secured first lien notes in February 2026, and $ 1.4 billion of Calpine senior unsecured notes in March 2026.
As discussed above, the following project financing arrangements were assumed as part of the acquisition:
Geysers Power Company, LLC. We acquired the GPC first lien senior secured term loan facility, which includes a term loan and $ 250 million letter of credit facility, up to $ 50 million of which may be used for loans to finance energy storage projects ("sub-facility"). At acquisition, outstanding borrowings under the term loan and sub-facility were approximately $ 1.35 billion and $ 45 million, respectively. The GPC facility is secured by substantially all of the real and personal property of GPC and subsidiaries, primarily consisting of the Geysers Assets. The facility matures May 2029 and bears interest at SOFR plus 1.625 %. As of March 31, 2026, there were $ 1.3 billion and $ 44 million of borrowings outstanding under the term loan and sub-facility, respectively.
Calpine Construction Finance Company, L.P. We acquired the CCFC first lien senior secured term loan facility with $ 2.1 billion outstanding borrowings at acquisition. The CCFC term loan facility is secured by certain real and personal property of CCFC, primarily seven natural gas-fired power plants. One plant secured under the facility, the Jack A. Fusco Energy Center (Fusco), is subject to sale in accordance with the DOJ resolution. See Note 2 — Mergers, Acquisitions, and Dispositions for additional information. Under the terms of the loan facility, CCFC may require the consent of certain lenders to release Fusco as guarantor depending on the application of

net sales proceeds. The term loan matures July 2030 and bears interest at SOFR plus 1.75 %. As of March 31, 2026, there was $ 2.1 billion of borrowings outstanding under the term loan.
CDHI Intermediate Holdco, LLC. We acquired the CDHI facility (CDHI Revolver), a $ 1.20 billion letter of credit facility, up to $ 400 million of which can be used for revolving loans to finance construction of renewable energy projects. At acquisition, outstanding borrowings under the CDHI Revolver were $ 319 million. The CDHI Revolver is secured by substantially all of the assets of CDHI's subsidiaries in accordance with the terms of the agreement. The York Energy Centers that partially secure the CDHI Revolver are subject to sale in accordance with the DOJ resolution. Under the terms of the CDHI revolver, consent of certain lenders is required to release these plants as collateral. See Note 2 — Mergers, Acquisitions, and Dispositions for additional information. Redemptions prior to March 2026 were based on SOFR plus 2.25 %, and effective March 2026, redemptions bear interest at SOFR plus 2.375 %. The CDHI Revolver matures March 2028. In March 2026 and April 2026, the CDHI revolver's total capacity was reduced by $ 250 million and $ 568 million, respectively. As of March 31, 2026, there was $ 309 million of borrowings outstanding under the credit facility.
Nova Power, LLC. We acquired the Nova Power, LLC credit agreement, which is comprised of a term loan, with $ 591 million of outstanding borrowings at acquisition, and a $ 80 million letter of credit facility. The agreement finances a portion of the cost of the development, construction, maintenance, and operation of the Nova Power battery storage project, and is secured by Nova Power's real and personal property. The credit agreement matures September 2031 and bears interest at SOFR plus 1.75 %. As of March 31, 2026, there was $ 581 million of borrowings outstanding under the credit agreement.
Greenfield L.P. We acquired the Greenfield L.P. credit facility, which includes a term loan, with $ 342 million of outstanding borrowings at acquisition, and several letters of credit facilities, with issuing capacity of approximately $ 75 million. The Greenfield L.P. credit facility is secured by certain real and personal property, primarily the Greenfield Energy Center in Ontario, Canada. The credit facility matures November 2030 and bears interest at CORRA plus 1.875 %. As of March 31, 2026, there was $ 330 million of borrowings outstanding under the facility.
Pin Oak Creek Energy Center LLC. We acquired Pin Oak Creek Energy Center's credit agreement pursuant with Texas Energy Fund (TEF), as lender, as administered by the Public Utility of Texas (PUCT). The loan proceeds are being used to finance eligible costs for the development (as defined in the agreement), construction, and installation of Pin Oak Creek Energy Center in Fairfield, Texas. The loan had outstanding borrowings of $ 230 million at acquisition. The loan matures October 2045 and bears interest at 3 %. As of March 31, 2026, there was $ 246 million of borrowings outstanding under the loan.
Calpine Credit Agreements
As a result of the acquisition, we acquired Calpine's corporate secured and unsecured letters of credit facilities with capacity totaling $ 525 million and $ 200 million, respectively, at the time of acquisition.
The total capacity of assumed project and corporate credit facilities discussed above was approximately $ 2.3 billion at the time of acquisition, which is reduced by outstanding borrowings under the GPC facility and CDHI Revolver. At the time of acquisition, there were outstanding letters of credit on the assumed facilities of approximately $ 1.7 billion. See the Credit Facilities table below for additional information on credit facilities associated with these project financing arrangements.
Debt Exchange Offering
In December 2025, we announced that, in connection with the planned acquisition of Calpine by CEG Parent, we commenced private exchange offers and related consent solicitations with respect to certain outstanding debt of Calpine ("Exchange Offers"). Under the Exchange Offers, we solicited consents to holders of certain Calpine debt to amend the notes and the related indentures under which they were issued to eliminate substantially all of the restrictive covenants, restrictive provisions and events of default, other than payment-related and bankruptcy-related events of default. In January 2026, we completed the exchange offering, effectively replacing $ 2.3 billion of Calpine senior secured and unsecured notes with Constellation senior unsecured notes.

DOE Loan Guarantee
In November 2025, the DOE Office of Energy Dominance Financing issued a guarantee for up to $ 1.0 billion for an unsecured loan from the Federal Financing Bank to support the restart of the Crane Clean Energy Center. The loan matures November 2055. Interest rates on the loan is fixed upon each advance at a spread of 0.375 % above U.S. Treasuries of comparable maturity. There have been no borrowings on this loan as of the date of this filing.
Short-Term Borrowings
We meet our short-term liquidity requirements primarily through the issuance of commercial paper. We may use our credit facility for general corporate purposes, including meeting short-term funding requirements and the issuance of letters of credit.
Credit Agreements
In September 2025, we amended our existing revolving credit facility (RCF) to increase the available aggregate commitment from $ 4.5 billion to $ 7.0 billion, which included incremental revolving credit commitments of $ 2.5 billion and extension of the maturity date to September 2030. The incremental commitments became available upon the closing of the Calpine acquisition in January 2026. The RCF may be drawn down in the form of loans and/or to support commercial paper and letter of credit issuances.
The RCF fixed facility fee rate is 0.175 % and borrowings under the RCF bear interest at a rate based upon either the Daily Simple SOFR rate or a Term SOFR rate, plus an adder based upon our credit rating. The adders for the

Combined Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
(Dollars in millions, unless otherwise noted)
Note 13 — Debt and Credit Agreements
Daily Simple SOFR-based borrowings and Term SOFR borrowings are 0.075 % and 1.075 %, respectively. The letters of credit bear interest at a rate of 1.075 %.
If we were to lose our investment grade credit rating, the maximum adders for Daily Simple SOFR rate borrowings and Term SOFR rate borrowings would be 1.00 % and 2.00 %, respectively. The credit agreements also require us to pay facility fees based upon the aggregate commitments. The fees vary depending upon our credit rating.
Accounts Receivable Facility
The Accounts Receivable Facility (the Facility) provides NER access to revolving loans from a number of financial institutions (Lenders) secured by certain customer accounts receivable. The maximum funding limit of the Facility is $ 1.5 billion and matures December 2027. Draws and repayments related to the Facility will be reflected as Proceeds from short-term borrowings and Repayments of short-term borrowings, respectively, in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. Draws on the Facility bear interest at a commercial paper rate or a Daily One Month Term SOFR or Term SOFR rate, plus an adder of 0.10 % per annum. Interest is payable monthly. In January 2026, we drew on and repaid the full amount of the Facility. Subsequently, in February and March 2026, we drew on the Facility in the amounts of $ 600 million and $ 900 million, respectively. The Facility was fully drawn on and outstanding as of March 31, 2026. In April 2026, we issued a $ 1.5 billion term loan, as discussed below, and used the proceeds to repay $ 400 million of the Facility.
The Facility requires the balance of eligible receivables to be maintained at or above the balance of cash proceeds received from the Lenders. To the extent the eligible receivables decrease below such balance, we are required to repay cash to the Lenders. When eligible receivables exceed cash proceeds, we have the ability to increase the cash proceeds received up to the maximum funding limit. As of March 31, 2026, the balance of our eligible receivables exceeded the cash proceeds outstanding from the Lenders.
Credit Facilities Summary
As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, we had the following aggregate bank commitments, credit facility borrowings and available capacity under our respective credit facilities:

(a) Excludes an additional outstanding letter of credit which was not issued under these facilities of $ 15 million as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025. See Note 15 — Commitments and Contingencies for additional information.
(b) Our commercial paper program is supported by the revolving credit agreement. In order to maintain our commercial paper program in the amounts indicated above, we must have a credit facility in place, at least equal to the amount of our commercial paper program. As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the maximum program size of our commercial paper program was $ 7.0 billion and $ 4.5 billion, respectively. We do not issue commercial paper in an aggregate amount exceeding the then available capacity under our credit facility. The weighted average interest rate on commercial paper borrowings was 3.98 % as of March 31, 2026. There were no commercial paper borrowings outstanding as of December 31, 2025.
(c) In February 2026, we increased the capacity to issue letters of credit by an additional $ 100 million each for two existing uncommitted bilateral facilities, and an additional $ 200 million for a third uncommitted bilateral facility. In February 2026, we initiated a new bilateral credit agreement for $ 400 million, with no maturity date. In February 2026, we entered into a $ 75 million uncommitted bilateral credit agreement. In March 2026, we increased the capacity to issue letters of credit for one committed bilateral facility by an additional $ 300 million and converted it to an uncommitted facility. In March 2026, a bilateral credit agreement initiated in March 2025 was extended for an additional two years to mature March 2028.
(d) Includes corporate and project-related facilities assumed in connection with Calpine acquisition in January 2026.
(e) The maximum amount of the bank commitment is not to exceed $ 971 million. The aggregate available capacity of the facility is subject to market fluctuations based on the value of U.S. Treasury Securities which determines the amount of collateral held in the trust. We may post additional collateral to borrow up to the maximum bank commitment. As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, without posting additional collateral, the actual availability of facility, prior to outstanding letters of credit was $ 957 million and $ 959 million, respectively.
Short-Term Loan Agreements

Note 14 — Fair Value of Financial Assets and Liabilities
14. Fair Value of Financial Assets and Liabilities
We measure and classify fair value measurements in accordance with the hierarchy as defined by GAAP. The hierarchy prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three levels as follows:
• Level 1 — quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that we have the ability to liquidate as of the reporting date.
• Level 2 — inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are directly observable for the asset or liability or indirectly observable through corroboration with observable market data.
• Level 3 — unobservable inputs, such as internally developed pricing models or third-party valuations for the asset or liability due to little or no market activity for the asset or liability.
Fair Value of Financial Liabilities Recorded at Amortized Cost
The following table presents the carrying amounts and fair values of our long-term debt and SNF obligation as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025. We have no financial liabilities classified as Level 1. The carrying amounts of the short-term liabilities as presented in the Consolidated Balance Sheets are representative of their fair value (Level 2) because of the short-term nature of these instruments.

(a) SNF Obligation is included in Other deferred credits and other liabilities in the Consolidated Balance Sheets.
Valuation Techniques Used to Determine Fair Value and Net Asset Value
Our valuation techniques used to measure the fair value and net asset value of the assets and liabilities are in accordance with the policies discussed in Note 17 — Fair Value of Financial Assets and Liabilities of our 2025 Form 10-K except for certain assumed variable rate project financings which are valued using a model that estimates pricing using an internal rate of return calculation and benchmark indices, which may be adjusted for company or security specific risks, resulting in these being classified as Level 3.

(a) The valuation techniques, unobservable inputs, ranges, and arithmetic averages are the same for the asset and liability positions.
(b) The fair values do not include cash collateral posted (received) on Level 3 positions of $ 479 million and $ 372 million as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively.
The inputs listed above, which are as of the balance sheet date, would have a direct impact on the fair values of the above instruments if they were adjusted. The significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of our commodity derivatives are forward commodity prices and for options is price volatility. Increases (decreases) in the forward commodity price in isolation would result in significantly higher (lower) fair values for long positions (contracts that give us the obligation or option to purchase a commodity), with offsetting impacts to short positions (contracts that give us the obligation or right to sell a commodity). Increases (decreases) in volatility would increase (decrease) the value for the holder of the option (writer of the option). Generally, a change in the estimate of forward commodity prices is unrelated to a change in the estimate of volatility of prices. An increase to the heat rate or renewable factors would increase the fair value accordingly. Generally, interrelationships exist between market prices of natural gas and power. As such, an increase in natural gas pricing would potentially have a similar impact on forward power markets.

First Priority Liens for Commodity Procurement and Risk Management Activities
Following the acquisition of Calpine in January 2026, the Company has assumed additional first-priority liens on Calpine assets, which are currently subject to first priority liens under various debt agreements, as collateral under certain of our power and natural gas agreements and certain of the interest rate swaps in order to reduce the cash collateral and letters of credit that would otherwise be provided to the counterparties under such agreements. The counterparties under such agreements share the benefits of the collateral subject to such first priority liens pro rata with the lenders under various debt agreements. As of March 31, 2026, the exposure was $ 220 million under these first priority liens for power and natural gas agreements and no exposure for the interest rate swaps.
Environmental Remediation Matters
General. Our operations have in the past, and may in the future, require substantial expenditures to comply with environmental laws. Additionally, under Federal and state environmental laws, we are generally liable for the costs of remediating environmental contamination of property currently or formerly owned by us and of property contaminated by hazardous substances generated by us. We own or lease several real estate parcels, including parcels on which our operations or the operations of others may have resulted in contamination by substances that are considered hazardous under environmental laws. In addition, we are currently involved in proceedings relating to sites where hazardous substances have been deposited and may be subject to additional proceedings in the future. Unless otherwise disclosed, we cannot reasonably estimate whether we will incur significant liabilities for additional investigation and remediation costs at these or additional sites identified by us, environmental agencies, or others. Additional costs could have a material, unfavorable impact on our consolidated financial statements.
As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, we had accrued undiscounted amounts for environmental liabilities of $ 9 million in Accounts payable and accrued expenses and $ 169 million in Other deferred credits and other liabilities in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. See Note 18 — Commitments and Contingencies of our 2025 Form 10-K for additional information on environmental remediation matters. As of March 31, 2026, and through the date of filing, there have been no material changes in amounts recognized for the matters discussed in our 2025 Form 10-K.
Litigation
We are involved in various litigation matters that are being defended and handled in the ordinary course of business. The assessment of whether a loss is probable or reasonably possible, and whether the loss or a range of loss is estimable, often involves a series of complex judgments about future events. We maintain accruals for such losses that are probable of being incurred and subject to reasonable estimation. Management is sometimes unable to estimate an amount or range of reasonably possible loss, particularly where (1) the damages sought are indeterminate, (2) the proceedings are in the early stages, or (3) the matters involve novel or unsettled legal theories. In such cases, there is considerable uncertainty regarding the timing or ultimate resolution of such matters, including a possible eventual loss.
As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, we had accrued $ 28 million and $ 15 million, respectively, in Accounts payable and accrued expenses and $ 108 million and $ 113 million, respectively, in Other deferred credits and other liabilities in the Consolidated Balance Sheets for liabilities related to litigation matters, including asbestos personal injury claims. See Note 18 — Commitments and Contingencies of our 2025 Form 10-K for additional information on asbestos personal injury claims
Impacts of the February 2021 Extreme Cold Weather Event and Texas-based Generating Assets Outages. Calpine was acquired on January 7, 2026, and is party to the same ongoing litigation proceedings as Constellation. See Note 18 — Commitments and Contingencies of our 2025 Form 10-K for additional information on this matter, which is likewise representative of the ongoing proceedings as it pertains to Calpine.
In March 2026, the Supreme Court of Texas denied plaintiffs’ petitions for a writ of mandamus in all five bellwether appeals. Plaintiffs have stated that they intend to seek rehearing before the Court. If the rehearing petitions in the bellwether cases are denied, the parties would return to the Multi-District-Litigation court to dispose of all of the remaining Winter Storm Uri tort claims pending against the power generator defendants.

Note 16 — Shareholders' Equity
16. Shareholders' Equity
Share Repurchase Program (CEG Parent)
During 2026, our Board of Directors approved a $ 4.4 billion increase relative to the remaining authorized amount to repurchase our outstanding common stock. No other repurchase plans or programs have been authorized. As of the date of this filing, we have approximately $ 4.7 billion of remaining authority for repurchases, which includes the impact of the open market repurchases, as discussed below. See Note 19 — Shareholders' Equity of our 2025 Form 10-K for additional information on our share repurchase program.
During the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, no open market repurchases occurred. During April and May 2026, prior to this filing, we repurchased from the open market approximately 1.2 million shares of our common stock for a total cost, inclusive of taxes and transaction costs, of $ 338 million.
Capped Call Options. During the first quarter of 2025, we entered into two structured share repurchase agreements. Under these agreements, we made up-front cash payments of $ 150 million in the first quarter of 2025 in exchange for the right to receive a predetermined amount of shares of our common stock or cash at expiration. Neither option was exercised during the second and third quarter of 2025, therefore we did not receive any shares at expiration. As a result, we received our initial up-front cash payments of $ 150 million plus a nominal cash premium during the second and third quarters of 2025. The cash received restored the remaining authority available for repurchases.

At March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, we consolidated several VIEs or VIE groups for which we are the primary beneficiary (see Consolidated VIEs below) and had significant interests in several other VIEs for which we do not have the power to direct the entities’ activities and, accordingly, we were not the primary beneficiary (see Unconsolidated VIEs below). Consolidated and unconsolidated VIEs are aggregated to the extent that the entities have similar risk profiles.
Consolidated VIEs
The table below shows the carrying amounts and classification of the consolidated VIEs’ assets and liabilities included in the consolidated financial statements as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025. The assets, except as noted in the footnotes to the table below, can only be used to settle obligations of the VIEs. The liabilities, except as noted in the footnotes to the table below, are such that creditors, or beneficiaries, do not have recourse to our general credit.

Note 17 — Variable Interest Entities
As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, our consolidated VIEs included the following:
Consolidated VIE or VIE groups: Reason entity is a VIE: Reason we are the primary beneficiary:
CRP - A collection of wind and solar project entities. We have a 51 % equity ownership in CRP. See additional discussion below.
Similar structure to a limited partnership and the limited partners do not have kick-out rights with respect to the general partner.
We conduct the operational activities.
Bluestem Wind Energy Holdings, LLC - A Tax Equity structure which is consolidated by CRP. Similar structure to a limited partnership and the limited partners do not have kick-out rights with respect to the general partner.
We conduct the operational activities.
Antelope Valley - A solar generating facility, which is 100 % owned by us. Antelope Valley sells all of its output to PG&E through a PPA.
The PPA contract absorbs variability through a performance guarantee. We conduct all activities.
NER - A bankruptcy remote, special purpose entity which is 100 % owned by us, which purchases certain of our customer accounts receivable arising from the sale of retail electricity and gas.
NER’s assets will be available first and foremost to satisfy the claims of the creditors of NER. Refer to Note 7 —Accounts Receivable for additional information on the sale of receivables.
Equity capitalization is insufficient to support its operations. We conduct all activities.
Unconsolidated VIEs
Our variable interests in unconsolidated VIEs generally include an equity method investment and energy purchase and sale contracts. For the equity investment, the carrying amount of the investment is reflected in the Consolidated Balance Sheets in Other deferred debits and other assets, see Note 18 — Supplemental Financial Information for additional information . For the energy purchase and sale contracts (commercial agreements), the carrying amount of assets and liabilities in the Consolidated Balance Sheets that relate to our involvement with the VIEs are predominantly related to working capital accounts and generally represent the amounts owed by, or owed to, us for the deliveries associated with the current billing cycles under the commercial agreements.
As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, we had significant unconsolidated variable interests in several VIEs for which we were not the primary beneficiary. These interests include certain commercial and securitization agreements.
The following table presents summary information about our significant unconsolidated VIE entities:
