NEW YORK, Aug. 6, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Consolidated Edison, Inc. (Con Edison) (NYSE:ED) today reported 2026 second quarter net income for common stock of $308 million or $0.83 a share compared with $246 million or $0.68 a share in the 2025 second quarter. Adjusted earnings (non-GAAP) were $308 million or $0.83 a share in the 2026 period compared with $240 million or $0.67 a share in the 2025 period. Adjusted earnings and adjusted earnings per share in the 2026 period exclude transaction costs associated with the strategic alternatives review of Con Edison's equity interests in Mountain Valley Pipeline, LLC (MVP) and Honeoye Storage Corporation (Honeoye). Adjusted earnings and adjusted earnings per share in the 2026 and 2025 periods exclude the effects of hypothetical liquidation at book value (HLBV) accounting for tax equity investments. Adjusted earnings and adjusted earnings per share in the 2025 period exclude accretion of the basis difference of Con Edison's equity interest in MVP, adjustments to the gain and other impacts related to the sale of all of the stock of its former subsidiary, Con Edison Clean Energy Businesses, Inc. (the Clean Energy Businesses) in 2023.

For the first six months of 2026, net income for common stock was $1,232 million or $3.37 a share compared with $1,038 million or $2.93 a share in the first six months of 2025. Adjusted earnings were $1,098 million or $3.00 a share in the 2026 period compared with $1,032 million or $2.91 a share in the 2025 period. Adjusted earnings and adjusted earnings per share in the 2026 period exclude transaction costs associated with the strategic alternatives review of Con Edison's equity interests in MVP and Honeoye, the gain on the sale of Con Edison's equity interest in MVP and the effects of HLBV accounting for tax equity investments. Adjusted earnings and adjusted earnings per share in the 2026 and 2025 periods exclude accretion of the basis difference of Con Edison's equity interest in MVP. Adjusted earnings and adjusted earnings per share in the 2025 period exclude adjustments to the gain and other impacts related to the sale of all of the stock of the Clean Energy Businesses in 2023.

"Con Edison continues to deliver nation-leading electric service reliability, reflecting the strength of our business model, disciplined infrastructure investments, and the dedication and expertise of our workforce," said Tim Cawley, Chairman and CEO of Con Edison. "We are investing to further strengthen reliability and system resilience, including preparing our network for periods of extreme heat, and redoubling our efforts to keep our service affordable for all customers while continuing to support New York's clean energy transition. Our targeted investments benefit our customers, support economic growth, and provide a foundation for stable, long-term returns for investors."

"Our second-quarter results reflect the strength and resilience of our business and reinforce confidence in our long-term strategy," said Kirk Andrews, Senior Vice President and CFO of Con Edison. "Year-to-date results continue to be in line with expectations. Our vibrant market and the growing momentum for the electrification of buildings and transportation support our confidence that we will provide solid shareholder value for years to come. We expect to have 28 new substations in service by 2035, along with tens of billions of dollars in other capital investments we plan to make to meet our customers' need for energy."

For the year of 2026, Con Edison reaffirmed its adjusted earnings per share (non-GAAP) to be in the range of $6.00 to $6.20 per share. Adjusted earnings per share excludes the gain on the sale of Con Edison's equity interest in MVP ($(0.37) a share after-tax), accretion of the basis difference of Con Edison's equity interest in MVP ($(0.01) a share after-tax), transaction costs associated with the strategic alternatives review of Con Edison's equity interests in MVP and Honeoye and the effects of HLBV accounting for tax equity investments, the amounts of which will not be determinable until year-end. Accordingly, the company is unable to provide equivalent measures determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (GAAP).

See Attachment A to this press release for a reconciliation of Con Edison's reported earnings per share to adjusted earnings per share and reported net income for common stock to adjusted earnings for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025. See Attachments B and C for the estimated effect of major factors resulting in variations in earnings per share and net income for common stock for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 compared to the respective 2025 periods.

The company's 2026 Second Quarter Form 10-Q is being filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. A second quarter 2026 earnings release presentation will be available at www.conedison.com. (Select "For Investors" and then select "Press Releases.")

This press release contains forward-looking statements that are intended to qualify for the safe-harbor provisions of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Forward-looking statements are statements of future expectations and not facts. Words such as "forecasts," "expects," "estimates," "anticipates," "intends," "believes," "plans," "will," "target," "guidance," "potential," "goal," "consider" and similar expressions identify forward-looking statements. The forward-looking statements reflect information available and assumptions at the time the statements are made, and accordingly speak only as of that time.

Actual results or developments might differ materially from those included in the forward-looking statements because of various factors such as those identified in reports Con Edison has filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including that Con Edison's subsidiaries are extensively regulated and may be subject to substantial penalties; its utility subsidiaries' rate plans may not provide a reasonable return; it may be adversely affected by changes to the utility subsidiaries' rate plans; the failure of, or damage to, its subsidiaries' facilities could adversely affect it; a cyber attack could adversely affect it; artificial intelligence is an emerging area of technology that has the potential to impact various aspects of its and its subsidiaries' business operations and customer interactions; the failure of processes and systems, the failure to retain and attract employees and contractors, and their negative performance could adversely affect it; it is exposed to risks from the environmental consequences of its subsidiaries' operations, including increased costs related to climate change; its ability to pay dividends or interest depends on dividends from its subsidiaries; changes to tax laws could adversely affect it; it requires access to capital markets to satisfy funding requirements; a disruption in the wholesale energy markets, increased commodity costs or failure by an energy supplier or customer could adversely affect it; it faces risks related to health epidemics and other outbreaks; its strategies may not be effective to address changes in the external business environment; it faces risks related to supply chain disruptions, inflation and the imposition of tariffs (or subsequent changes to tariffs once announced or implemented); and it also faces other risks that are beyond its control. This list of factors is not all-inclusive because it is not possible to predict all factors that could cause actual results or developments to differ from the forward-looking statements. Con Edison assumes no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by law.

This press release also contains financial measures, adjusted earnings and adjusted earnings per share, that are not determined in accordance with GAAP. These non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered as an alternative to net income for common stock or net income per share, respectively, each of which is an indicator of financial performance determined in accordance with GAAP. Adjusted earnings and adjusted earnings per share exclude from net income for common stock and net income per share, respectively, certain items that Con Edison does not consider indicative of its ongoing financial performance such as the gain on the sale of Con Edison's equity interest in MVP, accretion of the basis difference of Con Edison's equity interest in MVP, transaction costs associated with the strategic alternatives review of Con Edison's equity interests in MVP and Honeoye and the effects of HLBV accounting for tax equity investments. Management uses these non-GAAP financial measures to facilitate the analysis of Con Edison's financial performance as compared to its internal budgets and previous financial results and to communicate to investors and others Con Edison's expectations regarding its future earnings and dividends on its common stock. Management believes that these non-GAAP financial measures are also useful and meaningful to investors to facilitate their analysis of Con Edison's financial performance.

(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 investments and consolidation adjustments.
