Information in any item of this report referred to in this discussion and analysis is incorporated by reference herein. The use of terms such as “see” or “refer to” shall be deemed to incorporate by reference into this discussion and analysis the information to which reference is made.

Corporate Overview

Con Edison’s principal business operations are those of the Utilities and Con Edison Transmission. CECONY is a regulated utility that provides electric service in New York City and New York's Westchester County, gas service in Manhattan, the Bronx, parts of Queens and parts of Westchester, and steam service in Manhattan. O&R is a regulated utility serving customers in a 1,300-square-mile-area in southeastern New York State and northern New Jersey. Con Edison Transmission, a regulated company primarily under the oversight of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC), develops and invests in electric transmission projects and owns, through joint ventures, both electric and gas assets. Con Edison Transmission and CECONY are considering strategic alternatives with respect to their investments in Honeoye. See “Con Edison Transmission” in Item 1.

In addition to the risks and uncertainties described in Item 1A and the Companies’ material contingencies described in Notes B, G and H to the financial statements in Item 8, the Companies’ management considers the following events, trends, and uncertainties to be important to understanding the Companies’ current and future financial condition.

Aged Accounts Receivable Balances

At December 31, 2025, CECONY’s and O&R’s customer accounts receivables balances of $2,970 million and $120 million, respectively, included aged accounts receivables (balances outstanding in excess of 60 days) of $1,427 million and $27 million, respectively. At December 31, 2024, CECONY’s and O&R’s customer accounts receivables balances of $2,947 million and $113 million, respectively, included aged accounts receivables (balances outstanding in excess of 60 days) of $1,652 million and $32 million, respectively. In comparison, CECONY’s and O&R’s customer accounts receivable balances at February 28, 2020 were $1,322 million and $89 million, respectively, including aged accounts receivables (balances outstanding in excess of 60 days) of $408 million and $15 million, respectively. Prior to the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Utilities’ practice was to write off customer accounts receivables as uncollectible 90 days after the account is disconnected for non-payment or the account is closed during the collection process. In general, the Utilities suspended collection activities and service disconnections during the COVID-19 pandemic and have since resumed such activities.

CECONY’s rate plans for the three-year period January 2023 through December 2025 included reconciliation of late payment charges (from January 1, 2023 through December 31, 2025 for electric and gas and from January 1, 2020 through October 31, 2026 for steam) and write-offs of customer accounts receivable balances (from January 1, 2020 through December 31, 2025 for electric and gas and from January 1, 2020 through October 31, 2026 for steam) to amounts reflected in rates, with recovery/refund from or to customers via surcharge/surcredit. CECONY's surcharge recoveries for late payment charges and write-offs of accounts receivable balances will, collectively, be subject to separate annual caps for electric and gas that produce no more than a half percent (0.5 percent) total customer bill impact per commodity (estimated for electric to be $57.3 million, $60.3 million, $62.6 million for 2023, 2024 and 2025, respectively, and for gas to be $14.8 million, $15.9 million and $16.8 million for 2023, 2024 and 2025, respectively). CECONY's surcharge recoveries for late payment charges and write-offs of accounts receivables for steam will each be subject to an annual cap that produces no more than a half percent (0.5 percent) total customer bill impact (estimated to be $2.5 million, $3.0 million and $3.5 million for 2024, 2025 and 2026, respectively). Amounts in excess of the surcharge caps will be deferred as a regulatory asset for recovery in CECONY’s next base rate cases.

CON EDISON ANNUAL REPORT 2025

53

CECONY’s electric and gas rate plans for the three-year period January 2026 through December 2028 includes reconciliation of uncollectible expenses and late payment charges during the rate plan pursuant to which CECONY will calculate the annual difference between (i) its actual uncollectible expenses and late payment charges and (ii) the levels of uncollectible expenses and late payment charges provided in rates. In the event the actual net expenses (uncollectible expenses plus late payment charges) are below the amounts in rates, CECONY will defer the full variance as a regulatory liability and refund to customers via surcredit. In the event the actual net expenses are above the amounts in rates, CECONY will defer the full annual variance above $10 million ($8.5 million for electric and $1.5 million for gas) in 2026; above $15 million ($12.75 million for electric and $2.25 million for gas) in 2027, and above $20 million ($17.0 million for electric and $3.0 million for gas) in 2028; as a regulatory asset for recovery via surcharge. Annual surcharge recovery is subject to a cap that produces no more than a 0.5 percent total customer bill impact per commodity. Amounts in excess of the surcharge caps will be deferred for future recovery.

O&R’s rate plan for the three-year period January 2025 through December 2027 includes reconciliation of uncollectible expenses and late payment charges that are subject to a combined annual threshold of $0.9 million and $0.5 million for electric and gas, respectively. Once the threshold is met, O&R will defer the variance between actual uncollectible expenses and late payment charges, and the level set forth in rates that is above the threshold. Recovery/refunds will be made via surcharge/surcredit. Surcharge recovery is subject to an annual cap that produces no more than a 0.5 percent total customer bill impact per commodity. Amounts in excess of the surcharge caps will be deferred as a regulatory asset for recovery in O&R’s next base rate cases.

Although these regulatory mechanisms are currently in place, the Utilities’ ability to effectively manage their customer accounts receivable balances and obtain recovery in rates for their respective carrying costs and any related write-offs could have a material impact on the Companies’ businesses. In addition, a continued slow recovery of accounts receivable balances has impacted and is expected to continue to impact the Companies’ liquidity. See “Liquidity and Capital Resources,” below, and Note B and Note N to the financial statements in Item 8.

The Utilities, in an effort to reduce aged accounts receivables balances, continue to execute on their integrated collections strategy, which includes, among other things, implementation of flexible payment arrangement options, enhanced targeted digital and mail communications to customers regarding collections and an increased presence of field collectors to support in-person account resolution. The Utilities have also strengthened their credit and collection efforts to better manage incoming inquiries and have instituted additional measures to manage outbound collection calls.

Energy Affordability

There has been heightened legislative activity and public policy discussions regarding energy affordability. Substantial investments are needed to support an increasingly decarbonized electric grid that the Utilities, regulators and stakeholders must balance with the need for affordable rates. While the Companies continue to monitor energy affordability concerns, they are unable to predict additional legislative, executive, or regulatory measures that may result from energy affordability concerns. See “Energy Affordability Programs” in Item 1.

Clean Energy Goals

The success of the Companies’ efforts to meet clean energy policy goals and the impact of energy consumers' efforts to meet such goals on CECONY’s electric, gas and steam businesses and O&R’s electric and gas businesses may impact the Companies’ future financial condition. The Utilities expect electric usage to increase and gas and steam usage to decrease in their service territories as laws and policies are enacted and implemented that aim to reduce the carbon intensity of the energy that is consumed in their respective jurisdictions. The Utilities’ and their regulators’ efforts to maintain electric reliability in their service territories as electric usage increases may also impact the Companies’ future financial condition. The long-term future of the Utilities’ gas businesses depends upon the role that natural gas or other gaseous fuels will play in facilitating New York State’s and New York City’s climate goals. In addition, the impact and costs from climate change impacts on the Utilities’ systems and the success of the Utilities’ efforts to maintain system reliability and manage service interruptions resulting from severe weather may impact the Companies’ future financial condition, results of operations and liquidity. See “Federal Regulation,” "Environmental Matters - Clean Energy Future" and "Environmental Matters - Climate Change" in Item 1.

Con Edison Transmission

54

CON EDISON ANNUAL REPORT 2025

Con Edison Transmission, through its New York Transco partnership and jointly with the New York Power Authority (NYPA), is developing the Propel NY Energy transmission project, a 90-mile electric transmission project that is expected to increase high voltage transmission connections between Long Island and the rest of New York State. See the table under "Con Edison Transmission," below. Con Edison Transmission also participates in competitive solicitations to develop additional electric projects. The success of Con Edison Transmission’s efforts in these competitive solicitations and to grow its electric transmission portfolio may impact Con Edison’s future capital requirements

In January 2026, Con Edison Transmission completed the sale of approximately 40 percent of its approximately 6.6 percent interest in MVP to one of the founding members of MVP and expects to complete the sale of its remaining interest in MVP to another founding member during the first half of 2026 for total aggregate consideration of $357.5 million, subject to certain closing adjustments. Both Con Edison Transmission and CECONY are considering strategic alternatives with respect to their investments in Honeoye. See "Con Edison Transmission" in Item 1.

One Big Beautiful Bill Act

On July 4, 2025, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBBA) was signed into law, containing a broad range of tax reform provisions, including extending and modifying certain key provisions of the federal Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017, as enacted on December 22, 2017 (TCJA) and expanding certain incentives under the federal Inflation Reduction Act, as enacted on August 16, 2022 (IRA) while accelerating the phase-out of solar and wind credits. The Companies have assessed the potential impacts of the OBBBA and any such assessments may be impacted by future guidance to be issued by the Department of Treasury. However, based on management’s assessment, the provisions in the OBBBA are not expected to have a material impact on the Companies’ financial position, results of operations or liquidity.

Inflation Reduction Act

On August 16, 2022, the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) was signed into law and implemented a new corporate alternative minimum tax (CAMT) that imposes a 15 percent tax on modified GAAP net income. Pursuant to the IRA, corporations are entitled to a tax credit (minimum tax credit) to the extent the CAMT liability exceeds the regular tax liability. This amount can be carried forward indefinitely and used in future years when regular tax liability exceeds the CAMT liability.

Beginning in 2024, based on the existing statute, the Companies are subject to and report the CAMT in their Consolidated Income Statements, Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows and the Consolidated Balance Sheets. At December 31, 2025, Con Edison has a CAMT credit carryforward of $205 million ($213 million of which is for CECONY). For the year ended December 31, 2025, the Companies accrued a CAMT liability of $88 million ($109 million of which is for CECONY) before the application of general business credits, with an offsetting deferred tax asset representing the minimum tax credit carryforward. The deferred tax asset related to the minimum tax credit carryforward will be realized to the extent the Companies’ consolidated deferred tax liabilities exceed the minimum tax credit carryforward. The Companies’ deferred tax liabilities are expected to exceed the minimum tax credit carryforward for the foreseeable future and thus no valuation allowance is required. The Companies are continuing to assess the impacts of the IRA on their financial statements and will update estimates based on future guidance to be issued by the Department of the Treasury.

On February 18, 2026, the IRS and the Department of Treasury issued Notice 2026-7, that provides additional interim guidance regarding the application of the CAMT and allows the Companies to deduct certain repair expenditures as a reduction to the Companies’ modified GAAP net income. This interim guidance is retroactive to the beginning of the IRA provisions in calculating the Companies’ CAMT liability.

CON EDISON ANNUAL REPORT 2025

55

As a result of implementing these new guidelines, the Companies will file a quick refund claim by April 15, 2026 for the 2025 tax year and amend their federal tax return for the 2024 tax year. Con Edison expects to claim tax refunds from the IRS of approximately $45 million ($161 million for CECONY) and would reduce its CAMT credit carryover by approximately $181 million ($161 million for CECONY) and increase Con Edison’s general business credits carryforward by approximately $136 million. This guidance will significantly reduce the Companies’ CAMT liability going forward.

New York Legislation

In May 2025, New York adopted the 2025-2026 budget bill into law that included increases in payroll tax rates from 0.6 percent to 0.895 percent for CECONY and from 0.34 percent to 0.635 percent for O&R, effective July 1, 2025.

In April 2021, New York passed a law that increased the corporate franchise tax rate on business income from 6.5 percent to 7.25 percent, retroactive to January 1, 2021, for taxpayers with taxable income greater than $5 million. The law also reinstated the business capital tax at 0.1875 percent, not to exceed a maximum tax liability of $5 million per taxpayer. New York requires a corporate franchise taxpayer to calculate and pay the highest amount of tax under the three alternative methods: a tax on business income; a tax on business capital; or a fixed dollar minimum. The provisions to increase the corporate franchise tax rate and reinstate a capital tax were scheduled to expire after 2023. In May 2023, New York passed a law that extended the increase in the corporate franchise tax rate from 6.5 percent to 7.25 percent for an additional three years, through tax year 2026 and extended the business capital tax through tax year 2026. New York also passed a law establishing a permanent rate of 30 percent for the metropolitan transportation business tax surcharge. Con Edison was not subject to the higher tax rate of 7.25 percent in 2025 and does not expect to be subject to the higher tax rate in 2026.

(a)Under the revenue decoupling mechanisms in the Utilities’ New York electric and gas rate plans revenues are generally not affected by changes in delivery volumes from levels assumed when rates were approved. The Utilities' gas and CECONY’s steam sales are subject to a weather normalization clause, as a result of which, delivery revenues reflect normal weather conditions during the heating season. In general, the Utilities recover on a current basis the fuel, gas purchased for resale and purchased power costs they incur in supplying energy to their full-service customers. Accordingly, such costs do not generally affect Con Edison’s results of operations.    

(b)Other includes the parent company, Con Edison's tax equity interests, consolidation adjustments and Broken Bow II, the deferred project that was classified as held for sale at December 31, 2024, with the sale and transfer completed in January 2025.

(a)Revenues from electric sales 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.

(b)“Residential/Religious” generally includes single-family dwellings, individual apartments in multi-family dwellings, religious organizations and certain other not-for-profit organizations.

(c)Other electric operating revenues generally reflect changes in the revenue decoupling mechanism current asset or regulatory liability and changes in regulatory assets and liabilities in accordance with other provisions of CECONY’s rate plan.

(d)After adjusting for variations, primarily weather and billing days, electric delivery volumes in CECONY’s service area increased 2.5 percent in 2025 compared with 2024.

Operating revenues increased $953 million in 2025 compared with 2024 primarily due to an increase in revenues from the electric rate plan ($584 million), higher purchased power expenses ($277 million) and higher fuel expenses ($47 million).

CON EDISON ANNUAL REPORT 2025

61

Purchased power expenses increased $277 million in 2025 compared with 2024 due to higher unit costs ($217 million) and higher purchased volume ($60 million).

Fuel expenses increased $47 million in 2025 compared with 2024 due to higher unit costs ($56 million), offset in part by lower purchased volumes from the company’s electric generating facilities ($9 million).

Other operations and maintenance expenses decreased $8 million in 2025 compared with 2024 primarily due to the impact of the May 2024 NYSPSC order denying CECONY's request to capitalize costs to implement its new customer billing and information system ($37 million), offset in part by higher costs for injuries and damages ($23 million) and an increase in municipal infrastructure support ($7 million).

Depreciation and amortization expenses increased $126 million in 2025 compared with 2024 primarily due to higher electric utility plant balances.

Taxes, other than income taxes increased $287 million in 2025 compared with 2024 primarily due to higher property taxes ($236 million), a lower deferral of under-collected property taxes ($31 million) and higher other taxes ($12 million).

Operating revenues increased $125 million in 2025 compared with 2024 primarily due to the benefit from the steam rate plan ($67 million), higher fuel expenses ($44 million) and higher purchased power expenses ($10 million).

Purchased power expenses increased $10 million in 2025 compared with 2024 due to higher unit costs ($14 million), offset in part by lower purchased volumes ($4 million).

Fuel expenses increased $44 million in 2025 compared with 2024 due to higher unit costs ($38 million) and higher purchased volumes used from the company’s steam generating facilities ($6 million).

Other operations and maintenance expenses increased $21 million in 2025 compared with 2024 primarily due to higher steam operations maintenance activities ($9 million), higher costs for pension and other postretirement benefits, reflecting reconciliation to the rate plan level ($8 million) and higher total surcharges for assessments and fees that are collected in revenues from customers ($3 million).

Depreciation and amortization expenses increased $6 million in 2025 compared with 2024 primarily due to higher steam utility plant balances.

(b)Including the deferral of under-collected property taxes in 2025 and 2024 of $88 million and $83 million, respectively.

Other Income

Other income increased $219 million in 2025 compared with 2024 primarily due to higher credits associated with components of pension and other postretirement benefits other than service cost ($204 million) and an increase in AFUDC ($31 million), offset in part by a decrease in the revenue decoupling mechanism interest accrual ($7 million).

Net Interest Expense

Net interest expense increased $50 million in 2025 compared with 2024 primarily due to higher interest expense for long-term debt ($82 million), primarily attributable to timing of long-term debt issuances issued in 2024, offset in part by lower interest on commercial paper ($30 million) and a decrease in the carrying charges and interest on regulatory liability balances ($6 million).

Income Tax Expense

Income taxes increased $230 million in 2025 compared with 2024 primarily due to lower amortization of excess deferred federal income taxes ($153 million) and higher income before income tax expense ($102 million), offset in part by higher write-offs of uncollectible accounts ($19 million).

(a)O&R’s New York electric delivery revenues are subject to a revenue decoupling mechanism, as a result of which delivery revenues are generally not affected by changes in delivery volumes from levels assumed when rates were approved. The majority of O&R’s electric distribution revenues in New Jersey are subject to a conservation incentive program, as a result of which distribution revenues are generally not affected by changes in delivery volumes from levels assumed when rates were approved. O&R’s electric transmission revenues in New Jersey are not subject to a conservation incentive program, and as a result, changes in such volumes do impact revenues.

(b)“Residential/Religious” generally includes single-family dwellings, individual apartments in multi-family dwellings, religious organizations and certain other not-for-profit organizations.

(c)Other electric operating revenues generally reflect changes in regulatory assets and liabilities in accordance with O&R’s electric rate plan.

(d)After adjusting for weather and other variations, electric delivery volumes in O&R’s service area increased 2.2 percent in 2025 compared with 2024.

Operating revenues increased $82 million in 2025 compared with 2024 primarily due to higher purchased power expenses ($89 million), offset in part by lower revenues from the New York electric rate plan ($7 million).

Purchased power expenses increased $89 million in 2025 compared with 2024 due to higher unit costs ($56 million) and higher purchased volumes ($33 million).

Other operations and maintenance expenses decreased $9 million in 2025 compared with 2024 primarily due to lower non-deferred storm costs.

Depreciation and amortization expenses increased $5 million in 2025 compared with 2024 primarily due to higher electric utility plant balances.

(a)Revenues from New York gas sales are subject to a weather normalization clause and 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.

(b)After adjusting for weather and other variations, firm sales and transportation volumes in O&R’s service area increased 1.9 percent in 2025 compared with 2024.

Operating revenues increased $58 million in 2025 compared with 2024 primarily due to higher gas purchased for resale ($54 million) and higher revenues from the New York gas rate plan ($1 million).

Gas purchased for resale increased $54 million in 2025 compared with 2024 due to higher unit costs ($33 million) and higher purchased volumes ($21 million).

Depreciation and amortization expenses increased $5 million in 2025 compared with 2024 primarily due to higher gas utility plant balances.

Taxes, Other Than Income Taxes

Taxes, other than income taxes, remained consistent in 2025 compared with 2024. The principal components of taxes, other than income taxes, were:

Other Income (Deductions)

Other income increased $22 million in 2025 compared with 2024 primarily due to the 2024 accrued commitment to the Consolidated Edison Foundation, Inc. ($12 million) and the effects of HLBV accounting for tax equity interests in certain renewable electric projects ($5 million).

Income Tax Expense

Income taxes increased $27 million in 2025 compared with 2024 primarily due to higher income before income tax expense ($21 million) and the absence of production tax credits in 2025 related to the Broken Bow II wind project ($6 million).

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Companies monitor the financial markets closely, including borrowing rates and daily cash collections. Increases in aged accounts receivable balances, inflationary pressure and higher interest rates have increased the amount of capital needed by the Utilities and the costs of such capital. See "Interest Rate Risk," below, "Aged Accounts Receivable Balances," above and "Capital Resources," below.

Con Edison and the Utilities have a $2,500 million revolving credit agreement (the Credit Agreement) in place under which banks are committed to provide loans on a revolving credit basis until March 2029, unless extended for an additional one-year term, subject to certain conditions. CECONY has a $500 million 364-day revolving credit agreement (the CECONY Credit Agreement) in place under which banks are committed to provide loans on a revolving credit basis until March 2026, subject to certain conditions. Con Edison and the Utilities have not entered into any loans under the Credit Agreement and CECONY has not entered into any loans under the CECONY Credit Agreement.

In November 2025, CECONY repaid at maturity $700 million pursuant to a 364-Day Senior Unsecured Delayed Draw Term Loan Credit Agreement entered into by the company in November 2024.

Also in November 2025, CECONY borrowed $500 million at a variable rate under a 364-Day Senior Unsecured Term Loan Credit Agreement entered into by the company in November 2025 (the CECONY Term Loan Credit Agreement). The term loan matures in November 2026. CECONY has the option to prepay the term loan issued under the CECONY Term Loan Credit Agreement prior to maturity.

The FERC has authorized CECONY through April 30, 2026 and O&R through July 31, 2026 to issue short-term borrowings for a period of not more than 12 months, in an amount not to exceed $4,000 million and $250 million, respectively, at prevailing market rates.

The Companies’ liquidity reflects cash flows from operating, investing and financing activities, as shown on their respective consolidated statements of cash flows and as discussed below.

The principal factors affecting Con Edison’s liquidity are its investments in the Utilities and Con Edison Transmission, the dividends it pays to its shareholders and the dividends it receives from its subsidiaries and cash flows from financing activities discussed below.

The principal factors affecting CECONY’s liquidity are its cash flows from operating activities, cash used in investing activities (including capital expenditures), the dividends it pays to Con Edison and cash flows from financing activities discussed below.

The Companies generally maintain minimal cash balances and use short-term borrowings to meet their working capital needs and other cash requirements. The Companies repay their short-term borrowings using funds from long-term financings and operating activities. The Utilities’ cost of capital, including working capital, is reflected in the rates they charge to their customers.

Each of the Companies believes that it will be able to meet its reasonably likely short-term and long-term cash requirements. See “The Companies Require Access To Capital Markets To Satisfy Funding Requirements,” "Changes To Tax Laws Could Adversely Affect the Companies," “The Companies May be Adversely Affected by Changes to the Utilities’ Rate Plans,” “The Companies Face Risks Related to Health Epidemic And Other Outbreaks,” and “The Companies Also Face Other Risks That Are Beyond Their Control” in Item 1A, and “Capital Requirements and Resources” in Item 1.

Cash Flows from Operating Activities

The Utilities’ cash flows from operating activities primarily reflect their energy sales and deliveries and cost of operations. The volume of energy sales and deliveries is primarily affected by factors external to the Utilities, such as customer demand, weather, market prices for energy and economic conditions. Measures that promote distributed energy resources, such as distributed generation, demand reduction and energy efficiency, also affect the volume of energy sales and deliveries. See "Competition" and "Environmental Matters – Clean Energy Future" and “Environmental Matters – Climate Change” in Item 1.

Pursuant to their rate plans, the Utilities have recovered from customers a portion of the tax liability they will pay in the future as a result of temporary differences between the book and tax basis of assets and liabilities. These temporary differences affect the timing of cash flows, but not net income, as the Companies are required to record deferred tax assets and liabilities at the current corporate tax rate for the temporary differences. For the Utilities, credits to their customers of the net benefits of the TCJA, including the reduction of the corporate tax rate to 21 percent, decrease cash flows from operating activities. Pursuant to their rate plans, the Utilities also recover from customers the amount of property taxes they will pay. The payment of property taxes by the Utilities affects the timing of cash flows and increases the amount of short-term borrowings issued by the Utilities when property taxes are due and as property taxes increase, but generally does not impact net income. See “Changes To Tax Laws Could Adversely Affect the Companies” in Item 1A, “Federal Income Tax” in Note A, “Rate Plans” in Note B, “Other Regulatory Matters” in Note B and Note L to the financial statements in Item 8.

In general, the Utilities suspended service disconnections during the COVID-19 pandemic and have since resumed such activities in accordance with applicable law. At December 31, 2025, CECONY’s and O&R’s customer accounts receivables balances of $2,970 million and $120 million, respectively, included aged accounts receivables (balances outstanding in excess of 60 days) of $1,427 million and $27 million, respectively. A continued slow recovery of accounts receivable balances has impacted and is expected to continue to impact the Companies’ liquidity. See “Aged Accounts Receivable Balances,” above.

Net income is the result of cash and non-cash (or accrual) transactions. Only cash transactions affect the Companies’ cash flows from operating activities. Principal non-cash charges or credits include depreciation, deferred income tax expense, amortizations of certain regulatory assets and liabilities and accrued unbilled revenue. Non-cash charges or credits may also be accrued under the revenue decoupling and cost reconciliation mechanisms in the Utilities’ New York electric and gas rate plans. See “Rate Plans – CECONY– Electric and Gas" and "Rate Plans – O&R New York – Electric and Gas” in Note B to the financial statements in Item 8.

Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified within the Companies' cash flows from operating activities to conform with current period presentation.

Net cash flows from operating activities in 2025 for Con Edison were $1,186 million higher than in 2024. The changes in net cash flows for Con Edison primarily reflect:

•a decrease in taxes receivable of $278 million;

•an increase in other current liabilities of $264 million;

•lower accounts receivable – customers, net of $233 million;

•an increase in accounts payable of $162 million;

•lower net deferred charges, noncurrent assets, leases, net and other regulatory assets balances of $49 million;

•a decrease in prepayments of $39 million;

•an increase in accrued taxes of $38 million; and

•a change in distribution from equity investments $35 million.

Net cash flows from operating activities in 2025 for CECONY were $1,171 million higher than in 2024. The changes in net cash flows for CECONY primarily reflect:

•a decrease in accounts receivable from (to) affiliated companies of $552 million;

•an increase in other current liabilities of $275 million;

•lower accounts receivable – customers, net of $241 million; and

•an increase in accounts payable of $143 million.

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 and refundable energy costs within other regulatory assets and liabilities and accounts payable balances.

CECONY

Current assets at December 31, 2025 were $135 million higher than at December 31, 2024. The change in current assets primarily reflects an increase in cash and temporary cash investments ($327 million), customer accounts receivable, net of allowance for uncollectible accounts ($128 million) (see "Aged Accounts Receivable Balances,” above), offset in part by a decrease in accounts receivable from affiliated companies ($314 million).

Net plant at December 31, 2025 was $2,878 million higher than at December 31, 2024. The change in net plant primarily reflects an increase in electric ($3,106 million), gas ($917 million) and steam ($73 million) plant balances and an increase in construction work in progress ($79 million), offset in part by an increase in accumulated depreciation ($1,002 million) and a decrease in general ($294 million) plant balances.

Other noncurrent assets at December 31, 2025 were $612 million higher than at December 31, 2024. The change in other noncurrent assets primarily reflects an increase in the pensions and retiree benefits ($414 million), revenue taxes ($94 million) and environmental investigation and remediation costs ($35 million). See Notes B, E, and F to the financial statements in Item 8.

CON EDISON ANNUAL REPORT 2025

73

Current liabilities at December 31, 2025 were $385 million higher than at December 31, 2024. The change in current liabilities primarily reflects an increase in long-term debt due within a year ($250 million), deferred derivative gains ($130 million) and refundable energy costs ($35 million). See Note B to the financial statements in Item 8.

Other noncurrent liabilities at December 31, 2025 were $564 million higher than at December 31, 2024. The change in other noncurrent liabilities primarily reflects an increase in the deferred income taxes and unamortized investment tax credits ($581 million), offset in part by a decrease in net unbilled revenue deferrals ($39 million). See Note B to the financial statements in Item 8.

Long-term debt at December 31, 2025 was $651 million higher than at December 31, 2024. The change in long-term debt primarily reflects the 2025 issuances of debentures ($900 million), offset in part by reclassification of long-term debt to long term debt due within a year ($250 million). See "Liquidity and Capital Resources - Cash Flows From Financing Activities" above and Note C to the financial statements in Item 8.

Equity at December 31, 2025 was $2,066 million higher than at December 31, 2024. The change in equity primarily reflects net income for the year ended December 31, 2025 ($1,906 million), capital contributions from Con Edison ($1,300 million) in 2025 and a change in stock awards ($7 million), offset in part by common stock dividends to Con Edison ($1,134 million) in 2025 and an other comprehensive loss ($13 million).

O&R

Current assets at December 31, 2025 were $48 million lower than at December 31, 2024. The change in current assets primarily reflects a decrease in regulatory assets ($28 million) and accounts receivable from affiliated companies ($22 million).

Net plant at December 31, 2025 was $374 million higher than at December 31, 2024. The change in net plant primarily reflects an increase in electric ($176 million), gas ($86 million) and general ($19 million) plant balances and construction work in progress ($171 million), offset in part by an increase in accumulated depreciation ($78 million).

Other noncurrent assets at December 31, 2025 were $35 million higher than at December 31, 2024. The change in other noncurrent assets primarily reflects an increase in pension and retiree benefits ($24 million), fair value of derivative assets ($7 million) and other deferred charges and noncurrent assets ($4 million).

Current liabilities at December 31, 2025 were $71 million lower than at December 31, 2024. The change in current liabilities primarily reflects a decrease in notes payable ($108 million) and regulatory liabilities ($18 million), offset in part by an increase in accounts payable ($50 million) and accrued taxes to affiliated companies ($5 million).

Noncurrent liabilities at December 31, 2025 were $33 million higher than at December 31, 2024. The change in noncurrent liabilities primarily reflects an increase in deferred income taxes and unamortized investment tax credits ($29 million) and other deferred credits and noncurrent liabilities ($22 million), offset in part by an decrease in regulatory liabilities ($11 million) and fair value of derivative liabilities ($10 million).

Long-term debt at December 31, 2025 was $249 million higher than at December 31, 2024. The change in long-term debt primarily reflects the 2025 issuance of debentures ($250 million). See "Liquidity and Capital Resources - Cash Flows From Financing Activities" above and Note C to the financial statements in Item 8.

Equity at December 31, 2025 was $149 million higher than at December 31, 2024. The change in equity primarily reflects net income for the year ended December 31, 2025 ($108 million) and capital contributions from Con Edison ($110 million) in 2025, offset in part by common stock dividends to Con Edison ($68 million) in 2025 and an other comprehensive loss ($1 million).

Con Edison Transmission

Investments at December 31, 2025 were $43 million higher than at December 31, 2024. The increase in investments reflects additional investment in New York Transco ($45 million).

Net Plant at December 31, 2025 were $14 million lower than at December 31, 2024. The decrease in net plant reflects the impairment loss related to investment in Honeoye ($13 million).

Current Liabilities at December 31, 2025 were $11 million higher than at December 31, 2024. The change in current liabilities primarily reflects transaction costs associated with the strategic alternatives review of Con Edison's equity investments in MVP and Honeoye ($17 million).

Regulatory Matters

For information about the Utilities’ rate plans and other regulatory matters affecting the Companies, see “Utility Regulation” in Item 1 and Note B to the financial statements in Item 8.

Risk Factors

The Companies’ businesses are influenced by many factors that are difficult to predict, that may be beyond their control and that involve uncertainties that may materially affect actual operating results, cash flows and financial condition. See “Risk Factors” in Item 1A.

Critical Accounting Estimates

The Companies’ financial statements reflect the application of certain critical accounting estimates, which conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The Companies’ critical accounting estimates include assumptions applied to accounting for: pensions and other postretirement benefits, contingencies, derivative instruments, allowance for uncollectible accounts receivable, asset retirement obligations and income taxes. Also, see “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies and Other Matters” in Note A to the financial statements in Item 8.

Accounting for Pensions and Other Postretirement Benefits

The Utilities provide pensions and other postretirement benefits to substantially all of their employees and retirees. Con Edison Transmission also provides such benefits to transferred employees who previously worked for the Utilities. The Companies account for these benefits in accordance with the accounting rules for retirement benefits. In addition, the Utilities apply the accounting rules for regulated operations to account for the regulatory treatment of these obligations (which, as described in Note B to the financial statements in Item 8, reconciles the amounts reflected in rates for the costs of the benefit to the costs actually incurred). In applying these accounting policies, the Companies have made critical estimates related to actuarial assumptions, including assumptions of expected returns on plan assets, discount rates, health care cost trends and future compensation. See Notes A, E and F to the financial statements in Item 8 for information about the Companies’ pension and other postretirement benefits, the actuarial assumptions, actual performance, amortization of investment and other actuarial gains and losses and calculated plan costs for 2025, 2024 and 2023.

The discount rate for determining the present value of future period benefit payments is determined using a model to match the durations of Aa rated (by either Moody’s or S&P) corporate bonds with the projected stream of benefit payments.

In determining the health care cost trend rate, the Companies review actual recent cost trends and projected future trends.

The cost of pension and other postretirement benefits in future periods will depend on actual returns on plan assets, assumptions for future periods, contributions and benefit experience. Con Edison’s and CECONY’s current estimates for 2026 are decreases, compared with 2025, in their pension and other postretirement benefits credits of $256 million and $243 million, respectively, largely driven by decreases in the discount rates used to determine plan liabilities. See Notes E and F to the financial statements in Item 8.

The following table illustrates the effect on 2026 pension and other postretirement costs of changing the critical actuarial assumptions, while holding all other actuarial assumptions constant:

A 5 percentage point variation in the actual annual return in 2026, as compared with the expected annual asset return for pension and other postretirement benefits of 6.45 percent and 6.25 percent, respectively, would change pension and other postretirement benefit costs for Con Edison and CECONY by approximately $27 million and $26 million, respectively, in 2027.

Pension benefits are provided through a pension plan maintained by Con Edison to which CECONY, O&R and Con Edison Transmission may make contributions for their participating employees. Pension accounting by the Utilities includes an allocation of plan assets.

The Companies’ policy is to fund their pension and other postretirement benefit accounting costs to the extent tax deductible, and for the Utilities, to the extent these costs are recovered under their rate plans. The Companies were not required to make cash contributions to the pension plan in 2025 under funding regulations and tax laws. However, CECONY and O&R made discretionary contributions to the pension plan in 2025 of $53 million and $3 million, respectively. In 2026, CECONY and O&R expect to make contributions to the pension plan of $4 million each. See “Expected Contributions” in Notes E and F to the financial statements in Item 8.

Accounting for Contingencies

The accounting rules for contingencies apply to an existing condition, situation or set of circumstances involving uncertainty as to possible loss that will ultimately be resolved when one or more future events occur or fail to occur. Known material contingencies, which are described in the notes to the financial statements, include certain regulatory matters (Note B), the Utilities’ responsibility for hazardous substances, such as asbestos, PCBs and coal tar that have been used or generated in the course of operations (Note G) and other contingencies (Note H). Inputs to the estimation of the liability for such environmental remediation include the possible selected remedy for each site where investigation is ongoing, the inflation rate related to the cost of inputs to the remediation process, and for those sites where there are other potentially responsible parties, the allocation of costs to the Companies. Inputs to the estimation of the liability for certain regulatory matters include facts specific to each item and the status and progress of discussions with the applicable state regulator. Inputs to the estimation of the liability for other contingencies may include liabilities incurred for similar circumstances and the outcome of legal proceedings. In accordance with the accounting rules, the Companies have accrued estimates of losses relating to the contingencies as to which loss is probable and can be reasonably estimated, and no liability has been accrued for contingencies as to which loss is not probable or cannot be reasonably estimated.

76

CON EDISON ANNUAL REPORT 2025

The Utilities recover costs for asbestos lawsuits, workers’ compensation and environmental remediation pursuant to their rate plans. Generally, changes during the terms of the rate plans to the amounts accrued for these contingencies would not impact earnings.

Accounting for Derivative Instruments

The Companies apply the accounting rules for derivatives and hedging to their derivative financial instruments. The Companies use derivative financial instruments to hedge market price fluctuations in related underlying transactions for the physical purchase and sale of electricity and gas. The Utilities are permitted by their respective regulators to reflect in rates all reasonably incurred gains and losses on these instruments. See “Financial and Commodity Market Risks,” below and Note Q to the financial statements in Item 8.

Where the Companies are required to make mark-to-market estimates pursuant to the accounting rules, the estimates of gains and losses at a particular period end do not reflect the end results of particular transactions and will most likely not reflect the actual gain or loss at the conclusion of a transaction. Substantially all of the estimated gains or losses are based on prices supplied by external sources such as the fair value of exchange-traded futures and options and the fair value of positions for which price quotations are available through or derived from brokers or other market sources. See Note Q to the financial statements in Item 8.

Allowance for Uncollectible Accounts

The Companies develop expected loss estimates using past events data and consider current conditions and future reasonable and supportable forecasts. For the Utilities’ allowance for uncollectible accounts for customer accounts receivable, which includes accrued unbilled revenue, past events considered include write-offs relative to customer accounts receivable; current conditions include macro-and micro-economic conditions related to trends in the local economy, reconnection rates and current and aged customer accounts receivable balances, including final balances, among other factors; and forecasts about the future include assumptions related to the level of write-offs and recoveries. The historical write-off rate was determined based on post-pandemic collections and write-off experience. From 2020 through 2025, Con Edison's and CECONY's allowances for uncollectible accounts increased from $70 million and $65 million, respectively, to $507 million and $500 million, respectively. See “The Companies May Be Adversely Affected By Changes To The Utilities’ Rate Plans” in Item 1A, “Aged Accounts Receivable Balances” in Item 7 and “Allowance for Uncollectible Accounts" in Note N to the financial statements in Item 8.

Asset Retirement Obligations (AROs)

AROs are computed as the present value of the estimated costs for an asset's future retirement and are recorded in the period in which the liability is incurred. The estimated costs are capitalized as part of the related long-lived asset and depreciated over the asset's useful life. CECONY and O&R, as rate-regulated entities, recognize Regulatory Assets or Liabilities as a result of timing differences between the recording of costs and costs recovered through the ratemaking process. Because quoted market prices are not available for AROs, the Companies estimate the fair value of AROs by calculating discounted cash flows that are dependent upon various assumptions including estimated retirement dates, discount rates, inflation rates, the timing and amount of future cash outlays, and currently available technologies.

The Companies recorded asset retirement obligations associated with the removal of asbestos and asbestos-containing material in their buildings (other than the structures enclosing generating stations and substations), electric equipment and steam and gas distribution systems. The Companies also recorded asset retirement obligations relating to gas and oil pipelines abandoned in place and municipal infrastructure support. See Note T to the financial statements in Item 8.

A 1 percent increase in the assumed inflation rate used to value the ARO liability as of December 31, 2025 would increase the liability by $29 million for Con Edison and CECONY.

Accounting for Income Taxes

The Companies record provisions for income taxes, deferred tax assets and liabilities, valuation allowances against net deferred tax assets, if any, and reserves for uncertain tax positions. The reporting of tax-related assets and liabilities requires the use of estimates and significant judgments by management. Deferred federal and state tax assets and liabilities are recorded to represent future effects on income taxes for temporary differences between the basis of assets for financial reporting and tax purposes. Although management believes that current estimates for deferred tax assets and liabilities are reasonable, actual results could differ from these estimates for several reasons, including, but not limited to: a change in forecasted financial condition and/or results of operations; changes in income tax laws, enacted tax rates or amounts subject to income tax or state apportionments; the form,

CON EDISON ANNUAL REPORT 2025

77

structure, and timing of asset or stock sales or dispositions; changes in the regulatory treatment of any tax reform benefits; and changes resulting from audits and examinations by taxing authorities. Valuation allowances against deferred tax assets are recorded when management concludes it is more likely than not such tax benefit will not be realized in future periods. Accounting for income taxes also requires that only tax benefits for positions taken or expected to be taken on tax returns that meet the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold can be recognized or continue to be recognized. Management evaluates each position solely on the technical merits and facts and circumstances of the position, assuming that the position will be examined by a taxing authority that has full knowledge of all relevant information. Significant judgment is required to determine recognition thresholds and the related amount of tax benefits to be recognized. At each period end, and as new developments occur, management reevaluates its tax positions. Additional interpretations, regulations, amendments, or technical corrections related to the federal income tax code as a result of the Inflation Reduction Act, may impact the estimates for income taxes discussed above. See “Changes To Tax Laws Could Adversely Affect the Companies” in Item 1A, “Inflation Reduction Act” above, “Federal Income Tax” and “State Income Tax” in Note A and Note L to the financial statements in Item 8.

Financial and Commodity Market Risks

The Companies are subject to various risks and uncertainties associated with financial and commodity markets. The most significant market risks include interest rate risk, commodity price risk and investment risk.

Interest Rate Risk

The Companies' interest rate risk primarily relates to new debt financing needed to fund capital requirements, including the capital expenditures of the Utilities and maturing debt securities, and variable-rate debt. Con Edison and its subsidiaries manage interest rate risk through the issuance of mostly fixed-rate debt with varying maturities and through opportunistic refinancing of debt. Con Edison and CECONY estimate that at December 31, 2025, a 10 percent increase in interest rates applicable to its variable rate debt would result in an increase in annual interest expense of $10 million and $9 million, respectively. At December 31, 2024, Con Edison and CECONY estimated that a 10 percent increase in interest rates applicable to its variable rate debt would result in an increase in annual interest expense of $15 million and $12 million, respectively. Under CECONY’s electric, gas and steam rate plans, variations in actual variable rate tax-exempt debt interest expense, including costs associated with the refinancing of the variable rate tax-exempt debt, are reconciled to levels reflected in rates.

Higher interest rates have resulted in increased interest expense on commercial paper, variable-rate debt and long-term debt issuances.

Commodity Price Risk

Con Edison’s commodity price risk primarily relates to the purchase and sale of electricity, gas and related derivative instruments. The Utilities apply risk management strategies to mitigate their related exposures. See Note Q to the financial statements in Item 8.

Con Edison estimates that, as of December 31, 2025, a 10 percent decline in market prices would result in a decline in fair value of $191 million for the derivative instruments used by the Utilities to hedge purchases of electricity and gas, of which $175 million is for CECONY and $16 million is for O&R. As of December 31, 2024, Con Edison estimated that a 10 percent decline in market prices would result in a decline in fair value of $150 million for the derivative instruments used by the Utilities to hedge purchases of electricity and gas, of which $137 million is for CECONY and $13 million is for O&R. Con Edison expects that any such change in fair value would be largely offset by directionally opposite changes in the cost of the electricity and gas purchased.

The Utilities do not make any margin or profit on the electricity or gas they sell. In accordance with provisions

approved by state regulators, the Utilities generally recover from full-service customers the costs they incur for energy purchased for those customers, including gains and losses on certain derivative instruments used to hedge energy purchased and related costs. See “Recoverable Energy Costs” in Note A to the financial statements in Item 8. However, increases in electric and gas commodity prices may contribute to a slower recovery of cash from outstanding customer accounts receivable balances.

Investment Risk

The Companies’ investment risk relates to the investment of plan assets for their pension and other postretirement benefit plans. Con Edison's investment risk also relates to the investments of Con Edison Transmission that are accounted for under the equity method. See “Critical Accounting Estimates – Accounting for Pensions and Other Postretirement Benefits,” above and “Investments” in Note A and Notes E and F to the financial statements in Item 8.

78

CON EDISON ANNUAL REPORT 2025

The Companies’ current investment policy for pension plan assets includes investment targets of 20 to 34 percent equity securities, 55 to 65 percent debt securities, 14 to 22 percent alternatives. At December 31, 2025, the pension plan investments consisted of 24 percent equity securities, 57 percent debt securities and 19 percent alternatives.

For the Utilities’ pension and other postretirement benefit plans, regulatory accounting treatment is generally applied in accordance with the accounting rules for regulated operations. In accordance with the Statement of Policy issued by the NYSPSC and its electric, gas and steam rate plans, CECONY defers for payment to or recovery from customers the difference between the pension and other postretirement benefit expenses and the amounts for such expenses reflected in rates. O&R also defers such difference pursuant to its New York rate plans.
