Slide 2

Available Information On August 2, 2018, Consolidated Edison, Inc. issued a press release reporting its second quarter 2018 earnings and filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission the company’s second quarter 2018 Form 10-Q. This presentation should be read together with, and is qualified in its entirety by reference to, the second quarter earnings press release and the second quarter 2018 Form 10-Q. Copies of the earnings press release and the Form 10-Q are available at: www.conedison.com (select "For Investors" and then select "Press Releases“ and “SEC Filings”, respectively). Forward-Looking Statements This presentation 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" and similar expressions identify forward-looking statements. The forward-looking statements reflect information available and assumptions at the time the statements are made, and speak only as of that time. Actual results or developments may differ materially from those included in the forward-looking statements because of various factors such as when the acquisition by a subsidiary of Consolidated Edison, Inc. of Sempra Solar Holdings, LLC is completed, if at all, and those factors identified in reports the company has filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including that the company's subsidiaries are extensively regulated and are subject to 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 intentional misconduct of employees or contractors could adversely affect it; the failure of, or damage to, its subsidiaries' facilities could adversely affect it; a cyber-attack could adversely affect it; it is exposed to risks from the environmental consequences of its subsidiaries' operations; a disruption in the wholesale energy markets or failure by an energy supplier could adversely affect it; it has substantial unfunded pension and other postretirement benefit liabilities; its ability to pay dividends or interest depends on dividends from its subsidiaries; it requires access to capital markets to satisfy funding requirements; changes to tax laws could adversely affect it; its strategies may not be effective to address changes in the external business environment; and it also faces other risks that are beyond its control. Non-GAAP Financial Measure This presentation also contains a financial measure, forecasted Adjusted EBITDA of Con Edison Clean Energy Businesses, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Consolidated Edison, Inc., that is not determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (GAAP). Adjusted EBITDA refers to net income before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization and reflects the estimated full-year impact of the acquisition of Sempra Solar Holdings, LLC, as further adjusted for estimated cash distributions to third party tax equity partners in certain assets and estimated pre-tax equivalent for 2019 federal production tax credits. Management believes this information is useful to investors for their independent evaluation and understanding of the acquisition and its impact on Con Edison Clean Energy Businesses. This information is provided only on a non-GAAP basis without a reconciliation of this measure to the mostly directly comparable GAAP measure due to the inherent difficulty in forecasting and quantifying certain amounts that are necessary for such reconciliation, including adjustments that could be made for items such as the accounting for the impact of third party tax equity investments. These items depend on variable factors, many of which may not be in our control, and which could vary significantly from future GAAP financial results. This non-GAAP financial measure is in addition to, and not meant to be considered superior to, or a substitute for, financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP. In addition, the non-GAAP financial measure included in this presentation may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies.
