ONCOR ELECTRIC DELIVERY COMPANY LLC

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

1. BUSINESS AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Description of Business

References in this report to “we,” “our,” “us” and “the company” are to Oncor and/or its subsidiaries as apparent in the context. See “Glossary” for the definition of terms and abbreviations.

We are a regulated electricity transmission and distribution company that provides the essential service of delivering electricity safely, reliably and economically to end-use consumers through our electrical systems, as well as providing transmission grid connections to merchant generation facilities and interconnections to other transmission grids in Texas. Our transmission and distribution rates are regulated by the PUCT and certain cities, and in certain limited instances, by the FERC. We are not a seller of electricity, nor do we purchase electricity for resale. We are a direct, majority-owned subsidiary of Oncor Holdings, which is indirectly and wholly owned by Sempra. Oncor Holdings owns 80.25% of our membership interests and Texas Transmission owns 19.75% of our membership interests. We are managed as an integrated business; consequently, there are no separate reportable business segments.

Ring-Fencing Measures

Since 2007, various ring-fencing measures have been taken to enhance our credit quality and the separateness between the Oncor Ring-Fenced Entities and entities with ownership interests in Oncor or Oncor Holdings. These ring-fencing measures serve to mitigate the Oncor Ring-Fenced Entities’ credit exposure to owners of Oncor and Oncor Holdings, and to reduce the risk that the assets and liabilities of the Oncor Ring-Fenced Entities would be substantively consolidated with the assets and liabilities of any direct or indirect owners of Oncor and Oncor Holdings in connection with a bankruptcy of any such entities. These measures include the November 2008 sale of 19.75% of Oncor’s equity interests to Texas Transmission.

In March 2018, Sempra indirectly acquired Oncor Holdings after obtaining various approvals, including PUCT approval through the Sempra Order, which outlines certain ring-fencing measures, governance mechanisms and restrictions that apply after the Sempra Acquisition. As a result of these ring-fencing measures, Sempra does not control Oncor, and the ring-fencing measures limit Sempra’s ability to direct the management, policies and operations of Oncor, including the deployment or disposition of Oncor’s assets, declarations of dividends, strategic planning and other important corporate issues and actions. Our Limited Liability Company Agreement requires PUCT approval of certain revisions to the Limited Liability Company Agreement, including, among other things, governance structure and other various ring-fencing measures.

None of the assets of the Oncor Ring-Fenced Entities are available to satisfy the debt or obligations of any Sempra entity or any other direct or indirect owner of Oncor or Oncor Holdings. The assets and liabilities of the Oncor Ring-Fenced Entities are separate and distinct from those of any Sempra entities and any other direct or indirect owner of Oncor or Oncor Holdings. We do not bear any liability for debt or contractual obligations of Sempra and its affiliates or any other direct or indirect owner of Oncor or Oncor Holdings, and vice versa. Accordingly, our operations are conducted, and our cash flows are managed, independently from Sempra and its affiliates and any other direct or indirect owner of Oncor or Oncor Holdings.

Oncor is a limited liability company governed by a board of directors, not its members. The Sempra Order and our Limited Liability Company Agreement require that the board of directors of Oncor consist of 13 members, constituted as follows:

seven Disinterested Directors, who (i) shall be independent directors in all material respects under the rules of the New York Stock Exchange in relation to Sempra or its subsidiaries and affiliated entities and any entity with a direct or indirect ownership interest in Oncor or Oncor Holdings, and (ii) shall have no

9


material relationship with Sempra or its subsidiaries or affiliated entities or any entity with a direct or indirect ownership interest in Oncor or Oncor Holdings, currently or within the previous ten years;

two members designated by Sempra (through Oncor Holdings);

two members designated by Texas Transmission; and

two current or former officers of Oncor (each, an Oncor Officer Director), currently Robert S. Shapard and E. Allen Nye, Jr., who are our Chairman of our board of directors and Chief Executive, respectively.

Until March 9, 2028, in order for a current or former officer of Oncor to be eligible to serve as an Oncor Officer Director, the officer cannot have worked for Sempra or any of its subsidiaries or affiliated entities (excluding Oncor Holdings and Oncor) or any other entity with a direct or indirect ownership interest in Oncor or Oncor Holdings in the ten-year period prior to the date on which the officer first became employed by Oncor. Oncor Holdings, at the direction of STIH, has the right to nominate and/or seek the removal of the Oncor Officer Directors, subject to approval by a majority of the Oncor board of directors.

In addition, the Sempra Order provides that Oncor’s board of directors cannot be overruled by the board of directors of Sempra or any of its subsidiaries on dividend policy, the issuance of dividends or other distributions (except for contractual tax payments), debt issuance, capital expenditures, operation and maintenance expenditures, management and service fees, and appointment or removal of members of the board of directors, provided that certain actions may also require the additional approval of the Oncor Holdings board of directors. The Sempra Order also provides that any changes to the size, composition, structure or rights of the board of directors must first be approved by the PUCT. In addition, if Sempra acquires Texas Transmission’s interest in Oncor, the two board of director positions on Oncor’s board of directors that Texas Transmission is entitled to appoint will be eliminated and the size of Oncor’s board of directors will be reduced by two.

Additional regulatory commitments, governance mechanisms and restrictions provided in the Sempra Order and our Limited Liability Company Agreement to ring-fence Oncor from its owners include, among others:

A majority of the Disinterested Directors of Oncor and the directors designated by Texas Transmission that are present and voting (of which at least one must be present and voting) must approve any annual or multi-year budget if the aggregate amount of capital expenditures or operating and maintenance expenditures in such budget is more than a 10% increase or decrease from the corresponding amounts of such expenditures in the budget for the preceding fiscal year or multi-year period, as applicable;

Oncor may not pay any dividends or make any other distributions (except for contractual tax payments) if a majority of its Disinterested Directors or either of the two directors appointed by Texas Transmission determines that it is in the best interests of Oncor to retain such amounts to meet expected future requirements;

At all times, Oncor will remain in compliance with the debt-to-equity ratio established by the PUCT from time to time for ratemaking purposes, and Oncor will not pay dividends or other distributions (except for contractual tax payments) if such payment would cause its debt-to-equity ratio to exceed the debt-to-equity ratio approved by the PUCT;

If the credit rating on Oncor’s senior secured debt by any of the three major rating agencies falls below BBB (or the equivalent), Oncor will suspend dividends and other distributions (except for contractual tax payments), unless otherwise allowed by the PUCT;

Without the prior approval of the PUCT, neither Sempra nor any of its affiliates (excluding Oncor) will incur, guaranty or pledge assets in respect of any indebtedness that is dependent on the revenues of Oncor in more than a proportionate degree than the other revenues of Sempra or on the membership interests of Oncor, and there will be no debt at STH or STIH at any time following the closing of the Sempra Acquisition;

Neither Oncor nor Oncor Holdings will lend money to, borrow money from or share credit facilities with Sempra or any of its affiliates (other than Oncor subsidiaries), or any entity with a direct or indirect ownership interest in Oncor or Oncor Holdings; and

There must be maintained certain “separateness measures” that reinforce the legal and financial separation of Oncor from its owners, including a requirement that dealings between Oncor, Oncor Holdings and their subsidiaries with Sempra, any of Sempra’s other affiliates or any entity with a direct or indirect ownership interest in Oncor or Oncor Holdings, must be on an arm’s-length basis, limitations on affiliate

10


transactions, separate recordkeeping requirements and a prohibition on Sempra or its affiliates or any entity with a direct or indirect ownership interest in Oncor or Oncor Holdings pledging Oncor assets or membership interests for any entity other than Oncor.

Basis of Presentation

These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and related notes included in our 2022 Form 10-K. In the opinion of Oncor management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) necessary for a fair presentation of the results of operations and financial position have been made. We have evaluated all subsequent events through the date the financial statements were issued. All appropriate intercompany items and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The results of operations for an interim period may not give a true indication of results for a full year due to seasonality or other factors, such as changes in the rates we are authorized to charge customers. We also apply the guidance of ASC 810, Consolidations, or ASC 810, to determine when an entity that is insufficiently capitalized or not controlled through its voting interests, referred to as a VIE, should be consolidated.

Our consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with GAAP governing rate-regulated operations. All dollar amounts in the financial statements and tables in the notes are stated in millions of U.S. dollars unless otherwise indicated.

Use of Estimates

Preparation of our financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions about future events that affect the reporting of assets and liabilities at the balance sheet dates and the reported amounts of revenue and expense, including fair value measurements. In the event estimates and/or assumptions prove to be different from actual amounts, adjustments are made in subsequent periods to reflect more current information. No material adjustments were made to previous estimates or assumptions during the current period.

Revenue Recognition

Oncor’s revenue is billed under tariffs approved by the PUCT and the majority of revenues are related to providing electric delivery service to consumers. Tariff rates are designed to recover the cost of providing electric delivery service including a reasonable rate of return on invested capital. Revenues are generally recognized when the underlying service has been provided in an amount prescribed by the related tariff. See Note 3 for additional information regarding revenues.

Interest Rate Derivatives, Hedge Accounting and Mark-to-Market Accounting

We are exposed to interest rates primarily as a result of our current and expected use of financing. We may, from time to time, utilize interest rate derivative instruments typically designated as cash flow hedges, to lock in interest rates in anticipation of future financings. We may designate an interest rate derivative instrument as a cash flow hedge if it effectively converts anticipated cash flows associated with interest payments to a fixed dollar amount. Designating interest rate derivative instruments as cash flow hedges is dependent on the business context in which the instrument is being used, the effectiveness of the instrument in offsetting the risk that the future cash flows of interest payments may vary, and other criteria. In accounting for cash flow hedges, derivative assets and liabilities are recorded on the balance sheet at fair value with an offset to other comprehensive income (loss). Amounts remain in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) and are reclassified into net income as the interest expense on the related debt affects net income.

The fair value of an interest rate derivative instrument is recognized on the balance sheet as a derivative asset or liability and changes in the fair value are recognized in net income if the criteria for cash flow hedge accounting are not met or if the instrument is not designated as a cash flow hedge. This recognition is referred to as “mark-to-market” accounting.

11


Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and Goodwill

We evaluate long-lived assets (including intangible assets with finite lives) for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable.

We also evaluate goodwill for impairment annually on October 1 and whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that an impairment may exist. The determination of the existence of these and other indications of impairment involves judgments that are subjective in nature and may require the use of estimates in forecasting future results and cash flows.

For our annual goodwill impairment testing, we generally have the option to directly perform a quantitative assessment or first make a qualitative assessment of whether it is more likely than not that our enterprise fair value is less than our enterprise carrying value before applying the quantitative assessment. If we elect to perform the qualitative assessment, we evaluate relevant events and circumstances, including but not limited to, macroeconomic conditions, industry and market considerations, cost factors and our overall financial performance. If, after assessing these qualitative factors, we determine that it is more-likely-than-not that our estimated enterprise fair value is less than our enterprise carrying book value, then we perform a quantitative assessment. If, after performing the quantitative assessment, we determine that goodwill is impaired, we record the amount of goodwill impairment as the excess of enterprise carrying book value over estimated enterprise fair value, not to exceed the carrying amount of goodwill.

Cash, Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash

For purposes of reporting cash and cash equivalents, highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less at the date of purchase are considered to be cash equivalents.

The following table provides a reconciliation of cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash reported on the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets to the sum of such amounts reported on the unaudited condensed statements of consolidated cash flows:

(a)Restricted cash represents amounts deposited with Oncor for customer advances for construction that are subject to probable return in accordance with PUCT rules, ERCOT requirements or our tariffs relating to generation interconnection and construction and/or extension of electric delivery system facilities. We maintain these amounts in a separate escrow account.

Contingencies

Our financial results may be affected by judgments and estimates related to contingencies. For loss contingencies, we accrue the loss if an event has occurred on or before the balance sheet date, and:

information available through the date we file our financial statements indicates it is probable that a loss has been incurred, given the likelihood of uncertain future events; and

the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated.

We do not accrue contingencies that might result in gains. We continuously assess contingencies for litigation claims, environmental remediation and other events. See Note 6 for a discussion of contingencies.

2. REGULATORY MATTERS

Rate Proceedings

Base Rate Review (PUCT Docket No. 53601)

On April 6, 2023, the PUCT issued a final order in our comprehensive base rate review filed in May 2022 with the PUCT and the cities in our service territory that have retained original jurisdiction over rates. New base rates implementing the final order went into effect on May 1, 2023. Key findings made by the PUCT in the final order include setting our authorized return on equity at 9.7% (a decrease from our prior authorized return on equity of 9.8%), maintaining our regulatory capital structure at 57.5% debt to 42.5% equity, approving our requested regulatory asset amortization period of five years, changing depreciation rates and lives of certain depreciable assets, and approving our requested increase for our annual self-insurance reserve accrual primarily associated with storm related costs. In addition, the final order excluded from rates an acquisition premium and its associated amortization costs relating to certain plant facilities acquired by Oncor in 2019, as well as $65 million of certain employee benefit and compensation related costs that we had previously capitalized primarily to property, plant and equipment during the period of 2017 through 2021. As a result, we recognized a charge against income in the three months ended March 31, 2023 for the effects of that $65 million disallowance, as well as an additional $4 million charge against income due to certain similar employee benefit and compensation related costs that were capitalized during 2022. The total $69 million ($54 million after-tax) write-off consists of a $55 million ($43 million after-tax) write-off of disallowed capitalized property, plant and equipment reflected in operating expenses and a $14 million ($11 million after-tax) write-off of non-operating cost disallowances related to these employee benefit and compensation related costs.

On May 1, 2023, we filed a motion for rehearing seeking reconsideration of certain of the exclusions from rates, as well as seeking certain technical corrections to the final order. Certain intervening parties in the proceeding also filed motions for rehearing seeking reconsideration of various provisions in the final order. On June 30, 2023, the PUCT issued an order on rehearing in response to the motions for rehearing. The order on rehearing made certain technical and typographical corrections to the final order, but otherwise affirmed the material provisions of the final order and did not require modification of the rates that went into effect on May 1, 2023. The order on rehearing is subject to motions for rehearing and appeals. We cannot predict the outcome of these matters.

Capital Trackers

DCRF and TCOS interim rate adjustments, also known as capital trackers, allow us to recover the cost of certain investments before the investments are deemed prudent in a base rate review. In June 2023, legislation was enacted that increased the number of DCRF rate adjustments that may be filed by utilities in a single year from one adjustment filing to up to two adjustment filings per year. Under PUCT rules, we can file up to two TCOS interim rate adjustment applications in a calendar year to reflect changes in our invested transmission capital. These interim rate applications are subject to a regulatory proceeding and PUCT approval.

In 2023, Oncor has filed the following interim rate update applications with the PUCT:

Regulatory Assets and Liabilities

We are subject to rate regulation and our financial statements reflect regulatory assets and liabilities in accordance with accounting standards related to the effect of certain types of regulation. Regulatory assets and liabilities represent probable future revenues that will be recovered from or refunded to customers through the ratemaking process based on PURA and/or the PUCT’s orders, precedents or substantive rules. Rate regulation is

13


premised on the full recovery of prudently incurred costs and a reasonable rate of return on invested capital subject to PUCT review for reasonableness. Regulatory decisions can have an impact on the recovery of costs, the rate earned on invested capital and the timing and amount of assets to be recovered by rates.

On May 1, 2023, as part of the implementation of new base rates reflecting the final order in our comprehensive base rate review (PUCT Docket No. 53601), we commenced a five-year amortization period for certain regulatory assets and liabilities accrued through the end of the December 31, 2021 test year.

The following table presents components of our regulatory assets and liabilities and their remaining recovery periods in effect at June 30, 2023.

3. REVENUES

General

Our revenue is billed monthly under tariffs approved by the PUCT and the majority of revenues are related to providing electric delivery service to consumers. Tariff rates are designed to recover the cost of providing electric delivery service to customers including a reasonable rate of return on invested capital. As the volumes delivered can be directly measured, our revenues are recognized when the underlying service has been provided in an amount prescribed by the related tariff. We recognize revenue in the amount that we have the right to invoice. Substantially all of our revenues are from contracts with customers except for alternative revenue program revenues discussed below.

Reconcilable Tariffs

The PUCT has designated certain tariffs (primarily TCRF and EECRF) as reconcilable, which means the differences between amounts billed under these tariffs and the related incurred costs are deferred as either regulatory assets or regulatory liabilities. Accordingly, at prescribed intervals, future tariffs are adjusted to either repay regulatory liabilities or collect regulatory assets.

Alternative Revenue Program

The PUCT has implemented an incentive program allowing us to earn energy efficiency program performance bonuses by exceeding PURA-mandated energy efficiency program targets. This incentive program and the related performance bonus revenues are considered an “alternative revenue program” under GAAP. Annual performance bonuses are recognized as revenue when approved by the PUCT, typically in the third or fourth quarter each year.

Customers

At June 30, 2023, our distribution business customers primarily consisted of over 100 REPs that sell the electricity we distribute to consumers in our certificated service area. The majority of consumers of the electricity we deliver are free to choose their electricity supplier from REPs who compete for their business. Our transmission base revenues are collected from load serving entities benefiting from our transmission system. Our transmission business customers consist of municipally-owned utilities, electric cooperatives and other distribution companies. Revenues from REP subsidiaries of our two largest customers collectively represented 21% and 18%, respectively, of our total operating revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 23% and 20%, respectively, of our total operating revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2023. No other customer represented more than 10% of our total operating revenues for such three-month and six-month periods.

Variability

Our revenues and cash flows are subject to seasonality, timing of customer billings, weather conditions and other electricity usage drivers, with revenues being highest in the summer. Payment of customer billings is due 35 days after invoicing. Under a PUCT rule relating to the Certification of Retail Electric Providers, write-offs of uncollectible amounts owed by REPs are recoverable as a regulatory asset.

Pass-through Expenses

Revenue equal to expenses that are allowed to be passed-through to customers (primarily third-party wholesale transmission service and energy efficiency program costs) are recognized at the time the expense is recognized. Franchise taxes are assessed by local governmental bodies, based on kWh delivered and are not a “pass-through” item. The rates we charge customers are intended to recover the franchise taxes, but we are not acting as an agent to collect the taxes from customers; therefore, franchise taxes are reported as a principal component of “taxes other than amounts related to income taxes” instead of a reduction to “revenues” in the income statement.

4. SHORT-TERM BORROWINGS

____________

(a)The weighted average interest rate for commercial paper was 4.58% at December 31, 2022. All outstanding CP Notes at December 31, 2022 had maturity dates of less than one year.

Credit Facility

Our $2.0 billion unsecured revolving Credit Facility, which was entered into in November 2021 and extended in November 2022 by amendment, has a maturity date of November 9, 2027. We have the option to request one additional one-year extension. We also have the option to request an increase in our borrowing capacity of up to $400 million in $100 million minimum increments, provided certain conditions set forth in the Credit Facility are met, including lender approvals. Borrowings under the Credit Facility, if any, are classified as short-term on the balance sheet.

Borrowings under the Credit Facility bear interest at a per annum rate equal to, at our option, (i) term SOFR for the interest period relevant to such borrowing, plus an adjustment of 0.10% (the SOFR Adjustment), plus an

17


applicable margin of between 0.875% and 1.50%, depending on certain credit ratings assigned to us, or (ii) an alternate base rate (equal to the greatest of (1) the prime rate as quoted by The Wall Street Journal on such date, (2) the greater of the federal funds effective rate or the overnight bank funding rate, plus 0.50%, and (3) term SOFR for a one-month interest period on such date, plus the SOFR Adjustment, plus 1.0%), plus, in each case, an applicable margin of between 0.00% and 0.50%, depending on certain credit ratings assigned to our debt. The Credit Facility also provides for an alternative rate of interest upon the occurrence of certain events related to the current benchmark.

A commitment fee is payable quarterly in arrears and upon termination or commitment reduction at a rate per annum equal to between 0.075% and 0.225%, depending on certain credit ratings assigned to us, of the commitments under the Credit Facility. Letter of credit fees under the Credit Facility are payable quarterly in arrears and upon termination at a rate per annum equal to the applicable margin for adjusted term SOFR under the Credit Facility. Fronting fees in an amount as separately agreed by Oncor and any fronting bank that issues a letter of credit are also payable quarterly in arrears and upon termination to each such fronting bank.

The Credit Facility includes sustainability-linked pricing metrics related to specific environmental and employee health and safety sustainability objectives. The Credit Facility provides that the applicable margin and commitment fee may be increased, decreased or have no change depending on our annual performance on the two sustainability-linked pricing metrics set forth in the Credit Facility. The maximum pricing adjustment in any given year is +/- 0.01% on the commitment fee and +/- 0.05% on the applicable margin.

The Credit Facility requires that we maintain a maximum consolidated senior debt to consolidated total capitalization ratio of 0.65 to 1.00 and observe certain customary reporting requirements and other affirmative covenants. At June 30, 2023, we were in compliance with these covenants.

The Credit Facility also contains customary events of default for facilities of this type, the occurrence of which would allow the lenders to accelerate all outstanding loans and terminate their commitments, including certain changes in control of Oncor that are not permitted transactions under the Credit Facility and cross-default provisions in the event Oncor or any of its subsidiaries defaults on indebtedness in a principal amount in excess of $100 million or receives judgments for the payment of money in excess of $100 million that are not discharged or stayed within 60 days.

CP Program

We maintain the CP Program under which we may issue unsecured CP Notes (with a maturity date not exceeding 397 days from the date of issue) on a private placement basis up to a maximum aggregate face or principal amount outstanding at any time of $2.0 billion. The proceeds of CP Notes issued under the CP Program are used for working capital and general corporate purposes. The CP Program obtains liquidity support from our Credit Facility discussed above. We may utilize either the CP Program or the Credit Facility, at our option, to meet our funding needs.

5. LONG-TERM DEBT

At June 30, 2023, our long-term debt consisted of fixed rate senior secured notes and variable rate secured debt borrowed under our AR Facility. Our senior secured notes are secured equally and ratably by a first priority lien on certain transmission and distribution assets. See “Deed of Trust” below for additional information. Amounts borrowed under our AR Facility are secured by accounts receivable from REPs and certain related rights under our AR Facility. See “—Long-Term Debt-Related Activity in 2023—AR Facility” below for additional information. At June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, our long-term debt consisted of the following:

Deed of Trust

Our long-term senior secured notes are secured equally and ratably by a first priority lien on all property acquired or constructed by us for use in our electricity transmission and distribution business, subject to certain exceptions. The property is mortgaged under the Deed of Trust. The Deed of Trust permits us to secure indebtedness with the lien of the Deed of Trust up to the aggregate of (i) the amount of available bond credits, and (ii) 85% of the lower of the fair value or cost of certain property additions that could be certified to the Deed of Trust collateral agent.

Long-Term Debt-Related Activity in 2023

Senior Secured Notes

March 2023 Note Purchase Agreement

On March 29, 2023, we entered into a note purchase agreement (March 2023 NPA) with the purchasers named therein, which provided for the issuance by us of certain senior secured notes. Pursuant to the March 2023 NPA, on March 29, 2023, we sold $200 million aggregate principal amount of 5.50% Senior Secured Notes, Series C, due May 1, 2026 (Series C Notes), $72 million aggregate principal amount of 5.34% Senior Secured Notes, Series D, due May 1, 2031 (Initial Series D Notes) and $80 million aggregate principal amount of 5.45% Senior Secured Notes, Series E, due May 1, 2036 (Initial Series E Notes), and on April 26, 2023, we sold an additional $28 million aggregate principal amount of 5.34% Senior Secured Notes, Series D, due May 1, 2031 (Additional Series D Notes and, together with the Initial Series D Notes, the Series D Notes) and an additional $20 million aggregate principal amount of 5.45% Senior Secured Notes, Series E, due May 1, 2036 (Additional Series E Notes and together with the Initial Series E Notes, Series E Notes). The senior secured notes issued under the March 2023 NPA are secured pursuant to the Deed of Trust.

The March 2023 NPA provides for optional prepayment and make-whole payments with respect to any series of notes issued under the March 2023 NPA. The March 2023 NPA also contains customary covenants, restricting us, subject to certain exceptions, from among other things, entering into mergers and consolidations, and sales of substantial assets. In addition, the March 2023 NPA requires that we maintain a consolidated senior debt to consolidated total capitalization ratio of no greater than 0.65 to 1.00 and observe certain customary reporting requirements and other affirmative covenants.

The March 2023 NPA contains customary events of default, including the failure to pay principal or interest when due, among others. If any such event of default occurs and is continuing, among other remedies provided in the March 2023 NPA, the outstanding principal of the notes issued under the March 2023 NPA may be declared due and payable.

We used the proceeds from the sale of the senior secured notes under the March 2023 NPA for general corporate purposes, including repayment of outstanding CP Notes.

The Series C Notes bear interest at a rate of 5.50% per annum and mature on May 1, 2026. The Series D Notes bear interest at a rate of 5.34% per annum and mature on May 1, 2031. The Series E Notes bear interest at a rate of 5.45% per annum and mature on May 1, 2036. Interest on the senior secured notes issued on March 29, 2023 was accrued beginning from March 29, 2023. Interest on the senior secured notes issued on April 26, 2023 was accrued beginning from April 26, 2023. All interest will be payable semi-annually on May 1 and November 1 of each year, beginning on November 1, 2023.

Issuance of Senior Secured Notes Under Indenture

On May 11, 2023, we issued $600 million aggregate principal amount of 4.30% Senior Secured Notes due May 15, 2028 (2028 Notes) and $400 million aggregate principal amount of 4.95% Senior Secured Notes due September 15, 2052 (2052 Notes). The 2052 Notes constitute an additional issuance of our 4.95% Senior Secured Notes due 2052, $500 million of which we previously issued on September 8, 2022. The 2028 Notes and 2052 Notes were issued under one of our existing indentures and are secured pursuant to the Deed of Trust.

We used the proceeds (net of the initial purchasers’ discount fees, expenses, and accrued interest) of approximately $970 million from the sale of the 2028 Notes and 2052 Notes for general corporate purposes, including to repay on May 11, 2023, the full amount of $625 million outstanding under our unsecured term loan credit agreement, dated January 24, 2023, the full amount of $150 million outstanding under our unsecured term loan credit agreement, dated March 22, 2023, and the then-full amount of $100 million outstanding under our AR Facility.

The 2028 Notes bear interest at a rate of 4.30% per annum and mature on May 15, 2028. The 2052 Notes bear interest at a rate of 4.95% per annum and mature on September 15, 2052. Interest on the 2028 Notes accrued from May 11, 2023 and will be payable semi-annually on May 15 and November 15 of each year, beginning on November 15, 2023. Interest on the 2052 Notes accrued from March 15, 2023, and will be payable semi-annually on March 15 and September 15 of each year, beginning on September 15, 2023. Prior to April 15, 2028 in the case of the 2028 Notes and March 15, 2052 in the case of the 2052 Notes, we may redeem such notes at any time, in whole or in part, at a price equal to 100% of their principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest and a “make-whole” premium. On and after April 15, 2028 in the case of the 2028 Notes and March 15, 2052 in the case of the 2052 Notes, we may redeem them at any time, in whole or in part, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of such notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest.

AR Facility

On April 28, 2023, we and our bankruptcy-remote special purpose entity Receivables LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Oncor, established the AR Facility, a revolving accounts receivable securitization facility. Under the terms of the AR Facility, Oncor sells or contributes all of its existing and future accounts receivable from REPs and certain related rights to Receivables LLC as contemplated by the terms of the AR Facility. Receivables LLC then pledges those REP receivables and related rights to the lenders under the AR Facility as collateral for borrowings. Oncor serves as servicer of the AR Facility and receives a fee from Receivables LLC equal to 1.00% per annum of the aggregate unpaid balance of receivables as of the last day of each settlement period.

Receivables LLC’s sole business consists of the purchase or acceptance through capital contributions of the receivables and related rights from Oncor and the subsequent retransfer of or granting of a security interest in such receivables and related rights to the administrative agent for the benefit of the lenders pursuant to the receivables financing agreement. Receivables LLC is a separate legal entity with its own separate creditors who will be entitled, upon its liquidation, to have amounts owed to them be satisfied out of Receivables LLC’s assets prior to any assets or value in Receivables LLC becoming available to Receivables LLC’s equity holder. The assets of Receivables LLC are not available to pay creditors of Oncor or any affiliate thereof.

Receivables LLC is considered a VIE. See Note 10 for more information related to our consolidated VIE.

Oncor has access to the AR Facility, under which Receivables LLC may borrow at any one time an amount equal to the lesser of the facility limit of $500 million and the borrowing base amount calculated based on the outstanding balance of eligible receivables held as collateral, subject to certain reserves, concentration limits, and other limitations. The amounts available for borrowing may vary based on the amount of accounts receivable that Receivables LLC holds.

  

At June 30, 2023, the borrowing base for the AR Facility was $495 million. After taking into account the $325 million in aggregate borrowings outstanding, $170 million in borrowing capacity was available under the AR Facility at June 30, 2023. On July 28, 2023, we borrowed an additional $135 million under the AR Facility.

21


The agreements relating to the AR Facility contain customary representations and warranties, affirmative and negative covenants, and events of default, including but not limited to those providing for the acceleration of amounts owed under the AR Facility if, among other things, Receivables LLC fails to pay interest or other amounts due, Receivables LLC becomes insolvent or subject to bankruptcy proceedings or certain judicial judgments or breaches of certain representations and warranties and covenants. The AR Facility will terminate at the earlier of (i) April 28, 2026, (ii) the date on which the termination date is declared or deemed to have occurred upon the exercise of remedies by the administrative agent, or (iii) the date that is 30 days after notice by Receivables LLC. Subject to the consent of the administrative agent and the lenders, Receivables LLC may, 30 days prior to each anniversary date of the receivables financing agreement, extend the AR Facility in one-year increments.

Term Loan Credit Agreement Activity

On January 9, 2023, we repaid the remaining $100 million principal amount outstanding under a term loan credit agreement, dated July 6, 2022, that was due to mature on August 30, 2023. Following such repayment, no borrowings remained outstanding and the term loan credit agreement ceased to be in effect.

 On January 24, 2023, we entered into an unsecured term loan credit agreement with a commitment equal to an aggregate principal amount of $625 million. The term loan credit agreement had a maturity date of February 28, 2024. On January 27, 2023, we borrowed $500 million and on February 27, 2023, we borrowed the remaining $125 million under the term loan credit agreement. The proceeds from the borrowings were used for general corporate purposes, including repayment of outstanding CP Notes. Loans under the term loan credit agreement bore interest at a rate per annum equal to SOFR calculated based on term SOFR for a one-month interest period as of a specified date, plus the SOFR Adjustment, plus a spread of 0.85%. On May 11, 2023, we repaid the full $625 million aggregate principal amount outstanding under the term loan credit agreement. As a result of the repayment, no borrowings remained outstanding and the term loan credit agreement ceased to be in effect.

On March 22, 2023, we entered into an unsecured term loan credit agreement with a commitment equal to an aggregate principal amount of $150 million. The term loan credit agreement had a maturity date of April 30, 2024. On March 23, 2023, we borrowed $150 million under the term loan credit agreement. The proceeds from the borrowing were used for general corporate purposes, including repayment of outstanding CP Notes. Loans under the term loan credit agreement bore interest at a rate per annum equal to SOFR calculated based on term SOFR for a one-month interest period as of a specified date plus a spread of 0.95%. On May 11, 2023, we repaid the full $150 million aggregate principal amount outstanding under the term loan credit agreement. As a result of the repayment, no borrowings remained outstanding and the term loan credit agreement ceased to be in effect.

Fair Value of Long-Term Debt

At June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the estimated fair value of our long-term debt (including current maturities) totaled $12.085 billion and $10.398 billion, respectively, and the carrying amount totaled $12.822 billion and $11.228 billion, respectively. The fair value is estimated using observable market data, representing Level 2 valuations under accounting standards related to the determination of fair value.

6. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Legal/Regulatory Proceedings

See Note 2 for information regarding our base rate review and pending capital trackers. We are also involved in other legal and administrative proceedings in the normal course of business, the ultimate resolution of which, in the opinion of management, should not have a material effect upon our financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. See Notes 1 and 2 above and Note 7 to Financial Statements in our 2022 Form 10-K for additional information regarding our regulatory and legal proceedings, respectively.

Leases

As lessee, our leased assets primarily consist of our vehicle fleet and real estate leased for company offices and service centers. Our leases are accounted for as operating leases for GAAP purposes. At June 30, 2023, we had $4

22


million in GAAP operating leases that are treated as capital leases (referred to as finance leases under current accounting literature) solely for rate-making purposes. We generally recognize operating lease costs on a straight-line basis over the lease term in operating expenses. We are not a lessor to any material lease contracts. See Note 7 to Financial Statements in our 2022 Form 10-K for additional information on leases.

Sales and Use Tax Audits

We are subject to sales and use tax audits in the normal course of business. Currently, the Texas State Comptroller’s office is conducting sales and use tax audits for audit periods January 2010 through June 2013, July 2013 through December 2017, and January 2018 through December 2022, respectively. No audit reports have been issued for these audits. While the outcome is uncertain, based on our analysis, we do not expect the ultimate resolution of these audits will have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

7. MEMBERSHIP INTERESTS

Contributions

We received cash capital contributions from our members of $115 million on July 27, 2023. In the six months ended June 30, 2023, we received the following cash capital contributions from our members:

Distributions

The Sempra Order and our Limited Liability Company Agreement set forth various restrictions on distributions to our members. Among those restrictions is the commitment that we will make no distributions (other than contractual tax payments) to our members that would cause us to exceed the PUCT’s authorized debt-to-equity ratio. Our current authorized regulatory capital structure is 57.5% debt to 42.5% equity. The distribution restrictions also include the ability of a majority of our Disinterested Directors, or either of the two member directors designated by Texas Transmission, to limit distributions to the extent each determines it is necessary to meet expected future requirements of Oncor (including continuing compliance with the PUCT debt-to-equity ratio commitment). In addition, the distribution restrictions also require us to suspend dividends and other distributions (except for contractual tax payments) if the credit rating on our senior secured debt by any of the three major rating agencies falls below BBB (or the equivalent), unless otherwise allowed by the PUCT. At June 30, 2023, our regulatory capitalization was 56.1% debt to 43.9% equity and as a result we had $569 million available to distribute to our members.

The PUCT has the authority to determine what types of debt and equity are included in a utility’s regulatory debt-to-equity ratio. For purposes of this ratio, debt is calculated as long-term debt including any finance leases plus unamortized gains on reacquired debt less unamortized issuance expenses, premiums and losses on reacquired debt. Equity is calculated as membership interests determined in accordance with GAAP, excluding accumulated other comprehensive loss and the effects of acquisition accounting from a 2007 transaction.

On July 25, 2023, our board of directors declared a cash distribution of $149 million, which was paid to our members on July 26, 2023. In the six months ended June 30, 2023, our board of directors declared, and we paid, the following cash distributions to our members:

8. PENSION AND OPEB PLANS

Pension Plans

We sponsor the Oncor Retirement Plan and also have liabilities related to the Vistra Retirement Plan, both of which are qualified pension plans under Section 401(a) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and are subject to the provisions of ERISA. Employees do not contribute to either plan. We also have a supplemental retirement plan for certain employees whose retirement benefits cannot be fully earned under the qualified retirement plans. See Note 9 to Financial Statements in our 2022 Form 10-K for additional information regarding pension plans.

OPEB Plans

We currently sponsor two OPEB plans. One plan covers our eligible current and future retirees whose services are 100% attributed to the regulated business. The second plan covers retirees and eligible current and future retirees whose employment services were assigned to both Oncor (or a predecessor regulated utility business) and the non-regulated business of certain formerly affiliated companies, including Vistra. Vistra is solely responsible for its portion of the liability for retiree benefits related to those retirees. See Note 9 to Financial Statements in our 2022 Form 10-K for additional information.

Pension and OPEB Costs

Our net costs related to pension plans and the OPEB Plans for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, were comprised of the following:

The discount rates reflected in net pension and OPEB costs in 2023 are 5.19%, 5.19% and 5.11% for the Oncor Retirement Plan, the Vistra Retirement Plan and the OPEB Plans, respectively. The expected return on pension and OPEB plan assets reflected in the 2023 cost amounts are 6.05%, 6.47% and 6.94% for the Oncor Retirement Plan, the Vistra Retirement Plan and the OPEB Plans, respectively.

Pension Plans and OPEB Plans Cash Contributions

We made cash contributions to the pension plans and OPEB Plans of $2 million and $14 million, respectively, during the six months ended June 30, 2023. Based on applicable minimum funding requirements and the latest actuarial projections, our future fundings for the pension plans and the OPEB Plans are expected to total $3 million and $10 million, respectively, during the remainder of 2023 and approximately $466 million and $128 million, respectively, in the five-year period from 2023 to 2027. We may also elect to make additional discretionary contributions based on market and/or business conditions.

9. RELATED-PARTY TRANSACTIONS

The following represents our significant related-party transactions and related matters.

We are not a member of another entity’s consolidated tax group, but our owners’ federal income tax returns include their portion of our results. Under the terms of a tax sharing agreement among us, Oncor Holdings, Texas Transmission and STH, we are generally obligated to make payments to our owners, pro rata in accordance with their respective membership interests, in an aggregate amount that is substantially equal to the amount of federal income taxes that we would have been required to pay if we were filing our own corporate income tax return. STH will file a combined Texas margin tax return which includes our results and our share of Texas margin tax payments, which are accounted for as income taxes and calculated as if we were filing our own return. See discussion in Note 1 to Financial Statements in our 2022 Form 10-K under “Provision in Lieu of Income Taxes.” Under the “in lieu of” tax concept, all in lieu of tax assets and tax liabilities represent amounts that will eventually be settled with our members. In the event such amounts are not paid under the tax sharing agreement, it is probable that these regulatory amounts will continue to be included in Oncor’s rate setting processes.

Amounts payable to (receivable from) members related to income taxes under the tax sharing agreement and reported on our balance sheet consisted of the following:

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 should be read in conjunction with the condensed consolidated financial statements (Financial Statements) and the notes to those statements herein, as well as the consolidated financial statements, the notes to those statements and “Item 1A. Risk Factors” contained in our 2022 Form 10-K.

All dollar amounts in the tables in the following discussion and analysis are stated in millions of U.S. dollars unless otherwise indicated.

BUSINESS

We are a regulated electricity transmission and distribution company that provides the essential service of delivering electricity safely, reliably and economically to end-use consumers through our electrical systems, as well as providing transmission grid connections to merchant generation facilities and interconnections to other transmission grids in Texas. Our transmission and distribution rates are regulated by the PUCT and certain cities, and in certain limited instances, by the FERC. We are not a seller of electricity, nor do we purchase electricity for resale. We are a direct, majority-owned subsidiary of Oncor Holdings, which is indirectly and wholly owned by Sempra. Oncor Holdings owns 80.25% of our membership interests and Texas Transmission owns 19.75% of our membership interests. Since 2007, various ring-fencing measures have been taken to enhance our credit quality and the separateness between the Oncor Ring-Fenced Entities and entities with ownership interests in Oncor or Oncor Holdings. See “—Ring Fencing Measures” below and Note 1 to Financial Statements for a discussion of those measures. We are managed as an integrated business; consequently, there are no separate reportable business segments.

Ring-Fencing Measures

Various ring-fencing measures have been taken to enhance our credit quality and the separateness between the Oncor Ring-Fenced Entities, Sempra and its affiliates (other than the Oncor Ring-Fenced Entities), and any other entities with a direct or indirect ownership interest in Oncor or Oncor Holdings. These ring-fencing measures serve to mitigate the Oncor Ring-Fenced Entities’ credit exposure to Sempra and its affiliates and any other direct or indirect owners of Oncor and Oncor Holdings, and to reduce the risk that the assets and liabilities of the Oncor Ring-Fenced Entities would be substantively consolidated with the assets and liabilities of any Sempra entity or any other direct or indirect owners of Oncor and Oncor Holdings in connection with a bankruptcy of any such entities. Such measures include, among other things: the 19.75% equity interest held by Texas Transmission; maintenance of separate books and records for the Oncor Ring-Fenced Entities; and our board of directors being comprised of a majority of Disinterested Directors. As a result, none of the assets of the Oncor Ring-Fenced Entities are available to satisfy the debt or obligations of any Sempra entity or any other direct or indirect owner of Oncor or Oncor Holdings. The assets and liabilities of the Oncor Ring-Fenced Entities are separate and distinct from those of any Sempra entities and any other direct or indirect owner of Oncor or Oncor Holdings. We do not bear any liability for debt or contractual obligations of Sempra and its affiliates or any other direct or indirect owner of Oncor or Oncor Holdings, and vice versa. Accordingly, our operations are conducted, and our cash flows are managed, independently from Sempra and its affiliates and any other direct or indirect owner of Oncor or Oncor Holdings. For more information on the ring-fencing measures, see Note 1 to Financial Statements.

Significant Activities and Events

Base Rate Review (PUCT Docket No. 53601) On April 6, 2023, the PUCT issued a final order in our comprehensive base rate review proceeding. New base rates implementing the terms of the final order went into effect on May 1, 2023. We and other parties in the proceeding filed motions for rehearing with respect to various provisions of the final order, and on June 30, 2023, the PUCT issued an order on rehearing in response to those motions for rehearing. The order on rehearing made certain technical and typographical corrections to the final order but otherwise affirmed the material provisions of the final order and did not require modification of the rates that

33


went into effect on May 1, 2023. The order on rehearing is subject to motions for rehearing and appeals. See “—Regulation and Rates” below and Note 2 to Financial Statements for further discussion of the base rate review.

Capital Tracker Proceedings — See Note 2 to Financial Statements for a discussion of other significant PUCT matters, including applications for interim DCRF and TCOS rate updates.

State Legislation — See “—Regulation and Rates—State Legislation” below for a discussion of state legislation enacted into law that we believe could significantly impact our business, financial condition, and results of operations, including legislation expected to decrease regulatory lag on recovery of certain distribution-related investments, legislation providing greater regulatory certainty on recovery of certain employee compensation and benefit expenses, and legislation permitting utilities to file, subject to rules to be established by the PUCT, plans to enhance the resiliency of their transmission and distribution systems, and providing cost recovery mechanisms for such plans.

(a)SAIDI is the average number of minutes electric service is interrupted per consumer in 12 months. SAIFI is the average number of electric service interruptions per consumer in 12 months. CAIDI is the average duration in minutes per electric service interruption in 12 months. Our non-storm reliability performance reflects electric service interruptions of one minute or more per customer. Each of these results excludes outages during significant storm events.

(b)Degree days are measures of how warm or cold it is throughout our service territory. A degree day compares the average of the hourly outdoor temperatures during each day to a 65° Fahrenheit standard temperature. The more extreme the outside temperature, the higher the number of degree days. A high number of degree days generally results in higher levels of energy use for space cooling or heating.

Financial Results — Three Months Ended June 30, 2023 Compared to Three Months Ended June 30, 2022

Total operating revenues increased $50 million, or 4%, to $1.343 billion during the three months ended June 30, 2023. Revenue is billed under tariffs approved by the PUCT.

Revenues contributing to earnings increased $19 million to $1.010 billion during the three months ended June 30, 2023. The increase reflected the following components:

An Increase in Distribution Base Revenues — Distribution base rate revenues increased $14 million to $614 million during the three months ended June 30, 2023. The increase in distribution base rate revenues primarily reflects:

o$32 million increase due to a higher distribution component in the new base rates implemented May 1, 2023 following the PUCT’s issuance of a final order in our comprehensive base rate review, and

o$9 million increase due to growth in points of delivery,

partially offset by

o$26 million decrease due to lower consumption attributable primarily to milder weather.

Distribution base rates are set periodically in a base rate review docket initiated by either us or the PUCT, and effective May 1, 2023, new base rates implementing the final order in PUCT Docket No. 53601 went into effect. The PUCT rules allow utilities to file, under certain circumstances, interim DCRF rate adjustment applications between comprehensive base rate reviews to recover distribution investments and certain other related costs. In June 2023, state legislation was enacted that increased the number of DCRF rate adjustments that may be filed by utilities in a single year from one adjustment filing to up to two adjustment filings per year. For additional information on this legislation and its impacts on interim DCRF rate adjustment applications, see “—Regulation and Rates—State Legislation” below.

See the interim DCRF Filings Table below for a listing of recent interim DCRF rate adjustment applications anticipated to impact revenues for 2023. No interim DCRF application was filed in 2022 due to our comprehensive base rate review.

An Increase in Transmission Base Revenues — TCOS revenues increased $2 million to $371 million during the three months ended June 30, 2023. The increase reflected the following components:

o$21 million higher revenues from update of the annual billing factors,

partially offset by

o$19 million lower revenues from the effects of a lower transmission component included in the new base rates implemented May 1, 2023 following the PUCT’s issuance of a final order in our comprehensive rate review.

TCOS revenues are collected from load serving entities benefitting from our transmission system. REPs serving customers in our service territory are billed through the TCRF mechanism discussed below, while other load serving entities are billed directly. The PUCT rules allow utilities to file up to two interim TCOS rate adjustments in a calendar year to reflect changes in our invested transmission capital.

See the Interim TCOS Filings Table below for a listing of recent interim TCOS filings impacting revenues in 2023 and 2022. We did not file an interim TCOS rate adjustment while our comprehensive base rate

36


review was pending. However, the base rates that went into effect on May 1, 2023 pursuant to the final order in PUCT Docket No. 53601 also updated the transmission component of our rates, resulting in lower transmission base rates than prior to implementation of the new base rates. The transmission base rate component of those rates is effective until our next effective interim TCOS rate adjustment or base rate adjustment.

An Increase in Other Miscellaneous Revenues — Other miscellaneous revenues increased $3 million to $25 million during the three months ended June 30, 2023. The increase was primarily due to higher revenues from discretionary services, including increased facilities studies related to connecting customer facilities to the electric grid, provided in connection with our electricity delivery services pursuant to our tariffs.

Revenues collected for pass-through expenses increased $31 million to $333 million during the three months ended June 30, 2023. While changes in these pass-through tariffs affect revenues and the timing of cash flows, they do not impact operating income and do not contribute to earnings. The net increase reflected the following components:

 

An Increase in TCRF – third-party wholesale transmission service (TCRF Third-Party) — TCRF revenues increased $32 million to $322 million during the three months ended June 30, 2023 due to an increase in TCRF Third-Party provider billings.

TCRF is a reconcilable distribution rate charged to REPs to recover fees we pay to TCRF Third-Party providers under their TCOS rates and the retail portion of our own TCOS rate described above. Changes in our TCRF Third-Party revenue are to pass through changes in TCRF Third-Party expense. PUCT rules require us to update the TCRF component of our retail delivery rates on March 1 and September 1 each year, as well as upon implementation of new base rates resulting from a comprehensive base rate review.

(a)The TCRF effective March 1, 2023 in Docket No. 54388 was updated as a result of Oncor’s comprehensive base rate review (PUCT Docket No. 53601 and Compliance Docket No. 54817) on May 1, 2023. The base rate case update included a reduction of the revenue requirement by $20 million to be collected over the six-month period beginning March 2023.

A Decrease in EECRF and Other Revenues — EECRF and other revenues decreased $1 million to $11 million during the three months ended June 30, 2023. EECRF revenues were generally offset in operation and maintenance expense.

EECRF is a reconcilable rate designed to recover current energy efficiency program costs and annual performance bonuses earned by exceeding PUCT targets in prior years and to refund or recover any over/under recovery of our costs in prior years. We recognize the annual performance bonuses in other miscellaneous revenues upon approval by the PUCT. PUCT rules require us to file an annual EECRF tariff update by the first business day in June of each year for implementation on March 1 of the next calendar year.

(a) Pending PUCT approval.

Wholesale transmission service expense increased $32 million to $322 million during the three months ended June 30, 2023. The increase is due to higher fees paid to third-party transmission entities. Wholesale transmission service expense is a reconcilable expense that is offset with TCRF Third-Party revenues as discussed above.

Operation and maintenance expense increased $16 million to $271 million during the three months ended June 30, 2023. The increase is primarily due to $13 million in higher regulatory assets amortization and a $7 million increased accrual recovery amount for our self-insurance reserve as a result of the new base rates that went into effect on May 1, 2023 (which new rates implemented a five-year regulatory asset amortization period for certain regulatory assets and an increased annual accrual recovery amount for our self-insurance reserve pursuant to the PUCT’s final order in our comprehensive base rate review) and $5 million in higher labor and contractor related costs, partially offset by $6 million in lower vegetation management costs, $2 million in lower material and transportation costs, and $1 million in lower energy efficiency program expenses. We expect to continue to experience higher operation and maintenance expenses, including related to labor and contractor costs.

Depreciation and amortization increased $19 million to $242 million during the three months ended June 30, 2023. The increase is primarily attributable to ongoing investments in property, plant and equipment.

Provision in lieu of income taxes netted to $39 million (including a $2 million benefit related to non-operating income) during the three months ended June 30, 2023 compared to $49 million (including a $1 million benefit related to non-operating income) during the three months ended June 30, 2022.

The effective income tax rate was 16.3% and 17.6% for the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The effective tax rate on pretax income differs from the U.S. federal statutory rate of 21% primarily due to the amortization of the regulatory liability for excess deferred taxes as a result of the U.S. Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017, partially offset by the effects of the Texas margin tax.

38


Taxes other than amounts related to income taxes increased $1 million to $141 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023. The increase is primarily due to increases in local franchise taxes payable by us to municipalities, offset by lower property taxes attributable to lower property tax rates.

Other deductions and (income) net was $4 million favorable for the three months ended June 30, 2023 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2022. See Note 10 to Financial Statements for more information.

Interest expense and related charges increased $25 million to $133 million during the three months ended June 30, 2023. The increase is primarily due to higher average borrowings attributable to ongoing investments in property, plant and equipment, and higher average interest rates on the borrowings.

Net income decreased by $29 million to $200 million during the three months ended June 30, 2023. The decrease was driven by:

lower revenues from decreased customer consumption attributable primarily to milder weather,

lower revenues from the transmission component of the new base rates that went into effect on May 1, 2023,

higher costs associated with additional investments (primarily depreciation and borrowing costs), and

higher operation and maintenance expense,

partially offset by

higher revenues from the distribution component of the new base rates that went into effect on May 1, 2023,

higher revenues from updates to transmission billing factors, and

higher revenues from customer growth.

Financial Results — Six Months Ended June 30, 2023 Compared to Six Months Ended June 30, 2022

Total operating revenues increased $93 million, or 4%, to $2.635 billion during the six months ended June 30, 2023.

Revenues contributing to earnings increased $19 million to $1.969 billion during the six months ended June 30, 2023. The net increase reflected the following components:

A Decrease in Distribution Base Revenues — Distribution base rate revenues decreased $13 million to $1.165 billion during the six months ended June 30, 2023. The decrease in distribution base rate revenues primarily reflects:

o$61 million decrease due to lower consumption attributable primarily to milder weather

partially offset by

o$32 million increase due to a higher distribution component included in the new base rate implementation in May 2023 following the PUCT’s issuance of a final order in our comprehensive base rate review (PUCT Docket No. 53601), and

o$17 million increase due to growth in points of delivery.

An Increase in Transmission Base Revenues —TCOS revenues increased $30 million to $762 million during the six months ended June 30, 2023. The increase reflected the following components:

o$43 million higher revenues from update of the annual billing factors,

partially offset by

o$13 million lower revenues from the effects of a lower transmission component included in the new base rates taking effect May 1, 2023 following the PUCT’s issuance of a final order in our comprehensive rate review (PUCT Docket No. 53601).

An Increase in Other Miscellaneous Revenues — Other miscellaneous revenues increased $2 million to $42 million during the six months ended June 30, 2023. The increase was primarily due to higher revenues from discretionary services, including increased facilities studies related to connecting customer facilities to the electric grid, provided in connection with our electricity delivery services pursuant to our tariffs.

Revenues collected for pass-through expenses increased $74 million to $666 million during the six months ended June 30, 2023. The net increase reflected the following components:

An Increase in TCRF Third-Party — TCRF Third-Party revenues increased $72 million to $643 million during the six months ended June 30, 2023 due to higher TCRF Third-Party provider billings.

An Increase in EECRF and Other Revenues — EECRF and other revenues increased $2 million to $23 million during the six months ended June 30, 2023. EECRF revenues were generally offset in operation and maintenance expense.

Wholesale transmission service expense increased $72 million to $643 million during the six months ended June 30, 2023 due to higher fees paid to third-party transmission entities.

Operation and maintenance expense increased $30 million to $534 million during the six months ended June 30, 2023. The increase is primarily due to $13 million in higher regulatory assets amortization and a $7 million increased accrual recovery amount for our self-insurance reserve as a result of the new base rates that went into effect on May 1, 2023 (which new rates implemented a five-year regulatory asset amortization period for certain regulatory assets and an increased annual accrual recovery amount for our self-insurance reserve pursuant to the PUCT’s final order in our comprehensive base rate review), $9 million in higher labor and contractor related costs and $2 million in higher energy efficiency program expenses partially offset by $1 million in lower material and transportation costs.

40


Depreciation and amortization increased $37 million to $482 million during the six months ended June 30, 2023. The increase is attributable to ongoing investments in property, plant and equipment.

Provision in lieu of income taxes netted to $60 million (including a $8 million benefit related to nonoperating income) during the six months ended June 30, 2023 compared to $88 million (including a $4 million benefit related to nonoperating income) during the six months ended June 30, 2022. The decrease is primarily due to the tax benefits associated with the write-off of rate base disallowances in the first quarter of 2023.

The effective income tax rate was 16.5% and 17.2% for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The effective tax rate on pretax income differs from the U.S. federal statutory rate of 21% primarily due to the amortization of the regulatory liability for excess deferred taxes as a result of the U.S. Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017, partially offset by the effects of the Texas margin tax.

Taxes other than income taxes increased $1 million to $286 million during the six months ended June 30, 2023. The increase is primarily due to increases in local franchise taxes payable by us to municipalities, offset by lower property taxes attributable to lower property tax rates.

Other deductions and (income) - net was $8 million favorable for the six months ended June 30, 2023 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2022. See Note 10 to Financial Statements for more information.

Interest expense and related charges increased $40 million to $256 million during the six months ended June 30, 2023. The increase is primarily due to higher average borrowings attributable to ongoing investments in property, plant and equipment and higher average interest rates on the borrowings.

Write-off of rate base disallowances was recorded in the amount of $69 million in the first quarter of 2023, as a result of the final order issued by the PUCT in April 2023 in our comprehensive base rate review, which excluded from rate base certain employee benefit and compensation related costs incurred through the end of December 31, 2021. The write-off includes a $55 million ($43 million after-tax) write-off of disallowed capitalized property, plant and equipment reflected in operating expenses and a $14 million ($11 million after-tax) write-off of non-operating disallowances related to these disallowed employee benefit and compensation related costs.

Net income decreased $120 million to $303 million during the six months ended June 30, 2023. The decrease was driven by

the write-off of rate base disallowances recorded in the first quarter of 2023 resulting from the PUCT’s final order in our comprehensive base rate review,

lower revenues from decreased customer consumption attributable primarily to milder weather,

lower revenues from the transmission component of the new base rates that went into effect on May 1, 2023,

higher costs associated with additional investments (primarily depreciation and borrowing costs), and

higher operation and maintenance expense,

partially offset by

higher revenues from updates to transmission billing factors,

higher revenues from the distribution component of the new base rates that went into effect on May 1, 2023, and

higher revenues from customer growth

41


OTHER COMPREHENSIVE INCOME (LOSS)

During the first quarter of 2023, we reclassified $20 million related to employee retirement liabilities previously recorded in regulatory assets to other comprehensive income, as a result of the final order in our comprehensive base rate review disallowing rate recovery of those costs.

We also expect that net after-tax losses of approximately $3 million that are currently reported in accumulated other comprehensive loss at June 30, 2023 related to cash flow interest rate hedges will be reclassified into net income as an increase to interest expense within the next 12 months as the hedged items affect earnings.

FINANCIAL CONDITION

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Cash Flows — Six Months Ended June 30, 2023 Compared to Six Months Ended June 30, 2022

Cash provided by operating activities totaled $531 million and $645 million during the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The $114 million net decrease is primarily the result of a $70 million decrease in accounts payable due to timing of payments to vendors, a $60 million increase in storm-related costs, a $47 million increase in inventory purchases, a $37 million decrease in customer deposits and a $35 million increase in interest payments, partially offset by an $80 million increase in transmission and distribution receipts and a $54 million increase in net third-party transmission service billings.

Depreciation and amortization expense reported in operating activities in the condensed statements of consolidated cash flows was $54 million and $41 million more than the amounts reported in the condensed statements of consolidated income in the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The differences are due to certain regulatory asset amortization being reported as operation and maintenance expense in the condensed statements of consolidated income in accordance with GAAP.

Cash provided by financing activities totaled $1.360 billion and $822 million during the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The $538 million net increase is the result of a $572 million increase in debt financing activity and a $9 million increase in capital contributions from members, partially offset by a $43 million increase in cash distributions to members. For more information, see Notes 4 and 5 to Financial Statements regarding short-term borrowings and long-term debt activities, respectively, and Note 7 to Financial Statements regarding capital contributions from and cash distributions to our members.

Cash used in investing activities totaled $1.873 billion and $1.378 billion during the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The $495 million net increase is primarily the result of an increase in capital expenditures.

Long-Term Debt

At June 30, 2023, our long-term debt totaled an aggregate principal amount of $12.970 billion, consisting of fixed rate senior secured notes and variable rate secured debt borrowed under our AR Facility. See Note 5 to Financial Statements for more information on our long-term debt. For more information on our regulatory capital structure and limitations on our ability to incur additional long-term debt, see “—Capitalization and Return on Equity” and “—Material Debt Credit Rating, Financial, and Cross-Default Covenants” below.

Long-term debt activity in the six months ended June 30, 2023 consisted of senior secured notes issuances, AR Facility borrowings and repayments, and term loan credit agreement borrowings and repayments, each as discussed in more detail below.

Our fixed rate senior secured notes are secured equally and ratably by a first priority lien on all property acquired or constructed by Oncor for use in our electricity transmission and distribution business, subject to certain exceptions. The property is mortgaged under the Deed of Trust. The Deed of Trust permits us to secure indebtedness with the lien of the Deed of Trust up to the aggregate of (i) the amount of available bond credits, and (ii) 85% of the lower of the fair value or cost of certain property additions that could be certified to the Deed of Trust collateral agent. At June 30, 2023, the amount of available bond credits was $2.587 billion and the amount of future debt we could secure with property additions, subject to those property additions being certified to the Deed of Trust collateral agent, was $4.452 billion. See Note 5 to Financial Statements for a listing of all of our fixed rate senior notes secured by the Deed of Trust.

AR Facility On April 28, 2023, Oncor and Receivables LLC established the AR Facility, a three-year $500 million revolving accounts receivable securitization facility secured by accounts receivable from REPs and related rights. Oncor has access to the AR Facility, under which Receivables LLC may borrow at any one time an amount equal to the lesser of the facility limit of $500 million and the borrowing base amount calculated based on the outstanding balance of eligible REP receivables held as collateral, subject to certain reserves, concentration limits, and other limitations.

The following table summarizes the borrowings and repayments activity of our AR facility from its April 28, 2023 inception date through June 30, 2023:

(a)Borrowings under the AR Facility as of June 30, 2023 bore interest at the daily cost of asset-backed commercial paper issued by the conduit lenders to fund the loans, plus related dealer commissions and note issuance costs. Additional borrowings under the AR Facility could bear interest, if funded by the committed lenders, a rate per annum equal to SOFR calculated based on term SOFR for a one-month interest period, plus an adjustment of 0.10% (the SOFR Adjustment). Receivables LLC also pays a used and unused fee in connection with the AR Facility.

At June 30, 2023, the borrowing base for the AR Facility was $495 million. After taking into account the $325 million in aggregate borrowings outstanding, $170 million in borrowing capacity was available under the AR Facility at June 30, 2023. On July 28, 2023, we borrowed an additional $135 million under the AR Facility.

(a)Borrowings under this unsecured term loan credit agreement, which was entered into January 24, 2023, bore interest at a rate per annum equal to SOFR calculated based on term SOFR for a one-month interest period as of a specified date, plus the SOFR Adjustment, plus a spread of 0.85%.

(b)Borrowings under this unsecured term loan credit agreement, which was entered into March 22, 2023, bore interest at a rate per annum equal to SOFR calculated based on term SOFR for a one-month interest period as of a specified date, plus a spread of 0.95%.

(c)Borrowings under this unsecured term loan credit agreement, which was entered into July 6, 2022, bore interest at a rate per annum equal to SOFR calculated based on term SOFR for a one-month interest period as of a specified date, plus the SOFR Adjustment plus a spread of 0.60%.

Short-Term Debt

Our unsecured revolving Credit Facility has a borrowing capacity of $2.0 billion. The Credit Facility has a maturity date of November 9, 2027, and we have the option to request one additional one-year extension. We also have the option to request an increase in our borrowing capacity of up to $400 million in $100 million minimum increments, provided certain conditions set forth in the Credit Facility are met, including lender approvals. The Credit Facility includes sustainability-linked pricing metrics related to specific environmental and employee health and safety sustainability objectives.

We have also established a CP Program, under which we may issue unsecured CP Notes on a private placement basis up to a maximum aggregate amount outstanding at any time of $2.0 billion and with maturity dates not exceeding 397 days from the date of issuance. To the extent any CP Notes are issued with maturity dates of over one year, we anticipate those would be classified as long-term debt. The CP Program obtains liquidity support from the Credit Facility. As a result, the aggregate principal amount outstanding under both the CP Program and the Credit Facility cannot exceed $2.0 billion.

Available Liquidity and Liquidity Needs, Including Capital Expenditures

Capital Expenditures — In April 2023, our board of directors approved a capital expenditure budget of $3.4 billion for 2023 and reviewed a long-term plan that contemplated annual capital expenditure budgets of approximately $3.6 billion in 2024, $3.8 billion in 2025, $3.9 billion in 2026, and $4.3 billion in 2027, for an aggregate five-year capital spend of approximately $19 billion. In July 2023, our board of directors increased the 2023 capital expenditure budget to $3.6 billion. This increase was due primarily to continued projected growth in our service territory, increases in the cost of materials and increased labor and contractor costs. We expect those trends to continue to impact capital expenditures for 2023 and beyond.

Pension Plans and OPEB Plans Funding — Based on applicable minimum funding requirements and the latest actuarial projections, our future funding for the pension plans and the OPEB Plans is expected to total $5 million and $24 million, respectively, in 2023 and approximately $466 million and $128 million, respectively, in the five-year period from 2023 to 2027. We may also elect to make additional discretionary contributions based on market and/or business conditions. During the six months ended June 30, 2023, we made cash contributions to the pension plans and OPEB Plans of $2 million and $14 million, respectively. See Note 8 to Financial Statements for additional information regarding pension plans and OPEB Plans.

Additional Liquidity Needs — In addition to the items discussed above, other material contractual obligations and commitments arising in the normal course of business primarily consist of purchase obligations under outsourcing agreements and operating lease obligations. See Note 6 to Financial Statements for information regarding leases. As of June 30, 2023, our purchase obligations under outsourcing agreements total $142 million in the five-year period from 2023 to 2027. In addition, we regularly evaluate opportunities to make selective strategic acquisitions involving regulated assets, which could potentially impact our liquidity and capital expenditures. See “Item 1A. Risk FactorsWe regularly evaluate opportunities to make selective strategic acquisitions involving regulated assets. Acquisitions involve various risks, and we may not be able to realize the anticipated benefits of any such acquisitions” in our 2022 Form 10-K.

Available Liquidity — Our primary source of liquidity, aside from operating cash flows, is our ability to issue CP Notes, borrow under our Credit Facility and borrow under our AR Facility. Because the CP Program is supported by the Credit Facility, CP Notes outstanding effectively reduce the available borrowing capacity under the Credit Facility. Cash and cash equivalents totaled $28 million and $10 million at June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. Considering any CP Notes and letters of credit outstanding and borrowings under our AR Facility, available liquidity (cash, cash equivalents and available borrowing capacity under the Credit Facility, CP Program, and AR Facility) at June 30, 2023 totaled $2.198 billion, reflecting an increase of $386 million as compared to December 31, 2022. On July 28, 2023, we borrowed an additional $135 million under the AR Facility.

46


We expect cash flows from operations combined with long-term debt issuances and term loan credit agreements as well as availability under the Credit Facility, the CP Program and the AR Facility to be sufficient to fund current obligations, projected working capital requirements, maturities of long-term debt, capital expenditures, minimum funding requirements for pension plans and OPEB Plans, operating lease obligations and purchase obligations under outsourcing agreements for at least the next twelve months. Should additional liquidity or capital requirements arise, we may need to seek member capital contributions or preserve equity through reductions or suspension of distributions to members. In addition, we may also consider repurchases, exchange offers, accounts receivables financing arrangements, and other transactions in order to refinance or manage our debt and manage our liquidity and capital requirements.

Over both the short term and the long term, we expect to rely on access to financial markets as a significant source of funding not satisfied by cash-on-hand, operating cash flows, or our Credit Facility, CP Program and AR Facility. The inability to raise capital on favorable terms or failure of counterparties to perform under credit or other financial agreements, particularly during any uncertainty in the financial markets, could impact our ability to sustain and grow the business and would likely increase capital costs that may not be fully recoverable through rates.

Recent bank failures have caused instability in the banking industry and financial markets. While we have not been directly materially impacted to date by recent bank failures, we cannot predict the extent to which bank failures will impact the banking industry and financial markets in the future. Disruptions in the banking sector could increase the cost of capital and reduce our access to capital, lines of credit, and financing arrangements and also impact the ability of our customers, suppliers, and service providers to meet their obligations to us, it could also have a material adverse impact on our business.

Member Contributions and Distributions

Contributions — We received cash capital contributions from our members of $115 million on July 27, 2023. In the six months ended June 30, 2023, we received the following cash capital contributions from our members:

Distributions The Sempra Order and our Limited Liability Company Agreement set forth various restrictions on distributions to our members. Among those restrictions is the commitment that we will make no distributions (other than contractual tax payments) to our members that would cause us to exceed the PUCT’s authorized debt-to-equity ratio. Our current authorized regulatory capital structure is 57.5% debt to 42.5% equity. The distribution restrictions also include the ability of a majority of our Disinterested Directors, or either of the two member directors designated by Texas Transmission, to limit distributions to the extent each determines it is necessary to meet expected future requirements of Oncor (including continuing compliance with the PUCT debt-to-equity ratio commitment). At June 30, 2023, our regulatory capitalization was 56.1% debt to 43.9% equity and as a result we had $569 million available to distribute to our members.

The PUCT has the authority to determine what types of debt and equity are included in a utility’s debt-to-equity ratio. For purposes of this ratio, debt is calculated as long-term debt including any finance leases plus unamortized gains on reacquired debt less unamortized issuance expenses, premiums and losses on reacquired debt. Equity is calculated as membership interests determined in accordance with GAAP, excluding accumulated other comprehensive loss and the effects of acquisition accounting from a 2007 transaction.

On July 25, 2023, our board of directors declared a cash distribution of $149 million, which was paid to our members on July 26, 2023. In the six months ended June 30, 2023, our board of directors declared, and we paid, the following cash distributions to our members:

Capitalization and Return on Equity — We have committed to the PUCT to maintain a regulatory capital structure at or below the debt-to-equity ratio established periodically by the PUCT for ratemaking purposes. Our current authorized regulatory capital structure is 57.5% debt to 42.5% equity. Our authorized return on equity is 9.7%, which went into effect on May 1, 2023 in connection with the effectiveness of new base rates implementing the terms of the PUCT’s final order in PUCT Docket No. 53601. Prior to May 1, 2023, our authorized return on equity was 9.8%. Our ability to incur additional long-term debt is limited by our authorized regulatory capital structure, as we are able to issue future long-term debt only to the extent that the issuance of such debt would not cause us to exceed the authorized regulatory debt-to-equity ratio.

Our GAAP capitalization ratio was 47.3% debt to 52.7% equity at June 30, 2023.

Credit Rating Provisions and Material Debt Covenants

Impact on Liquidity of Credit Ratings — The rating agencies assign credit ratings to certain of our debt securities. Our access to capital markets and cost of debt could be directly affected by our credit ratings. Any adverse action with respect to our credit ratings could generally cause borrowing costs to increase and the potential pool of investors and funding sources to decrease. In particular, a decline in credit ratings would increase the cost of our Credit Facility (as discussed below). In the event any adverse action with respect to our credit ratings takes place and causes borrowing costs to increase, we may not be able to recover such increased costs if they exceed our PUCT-approved cost of debt determined in our most recent comprehensive base rate review or subsequent base rate reviews.

Most of our large suppliers and counterparties require an expected level of creditworthiness in order for them to enter into transactions with us. If our credit ratings decline, the costs to operate our business could increase because counterparties could require the posting of collateral in the form of cash-related instruments, or counterparties could decline to do business with us.

Presented below are the credit ratings assigned for our debt securities at August 3, 2023.

A rating reflects only the view of a rating agency, and is not a recommendation to buy, sell or hold securities. Ratings can be revised upward or downward at any time by a rating agency, if such rating agency decides that circumstances warrant such a change.

Material Debt Credit Rating, Financial and Cross-Default Covenants — The Credit Facility contains terms pursuant to which the interest rates and commitment fee charged under the agreement may be adjusted depending on our credit ratings. A decline in our credit ratings would increase the cost of borrowings under the Credit Facility and likely increase the cost of our CP Program and any future debt issuances and additional credit facilities. Based on our current debt ratings as of August 3, 2023, the commitment fee will be 0.10% and the applicable margin for SOFR-based borrowings would be 1.00% and alternate base rate borrowings would be 0.00%. The CP Program requires prompt notice to the dealers of any notice of intended or potential downgrade of our credit ratings. See Note 4 to Financial Statements for additional information regarding our Credit Facility and CP Program.

The Credit Facility includes sustainability-linked pricing metrics related to specific environmental and employee health and safety sustainability objectives. The Credit Facility provides that the applicable margin and

48


commitment fee may be increased, decreased or have no change depending on our annual performance on the two sustainability-linked pricing metrics set forth in the Credit Facility. The maximum pricing adjustment in any given year is +/- 0.01% on the commitment fee and +/- 0.05% on the applicable margin.

Our Credit Facility, AR Facility, and note purchase agreements each contain a financial covenant that requires maintenance of a consolidated senior debt-to-capitalization ratio of no greater than 0.65 to 1.00. For purposes of this ratio, senior debt is calculated as indebtedness defined in the applicable agreement (principally, the sum of long-term debt, any capital leases (referred to as finance leases under current accounting literature), short-term debt and debt due currently in accordance with GAAP). Capitalization for each of our Credit Facility, AR Facility and the March 2023 NPA is calculated as membership interests determined in accordance with GAAP plus debt described above. Capitalization under our note purchase agreement dated May 6, 2019 (May 2019 NPA) is calculated as membership interests plus liabilities for indebtedness maturing more than 12 months from the date of determination, with capitalization determined in accordance with GAAP and practices applicable to our type of business. The ratio under the May 2019 NPA is calculated as total debt (all debt of Oncor and its subsidiaries on a consolidated basis) divided by the sum of total debt plus capitalization. At June 30, 2023, we were in compliance with this covenant and all other covenants under our Credit Facility, AR Facility, and note purchase agreements.

Certain of our financing arrangements contain provisions that may result in an event of default if there was a failure under other financing arrangements to meet payment terms or to observe other covenants that could result in an acceleration of payments due. Such provisions are referred to as “cross default” provisions.

Under the Credit Facility, May 2019 NPA and the AR Facility, a default by us or any subsidiary in respect of indebtedness in a principal amount in excess of $100 million or any judgments for the payment of money in excess of $100 million that are not discharged or stayed within 60 days may cause the maturity of outstanding balances under those facilities to be accelerated or, in the case of the May 2019 NPA, may cause the notes issued thereunder to be declared due and payable.

Under the Deed of Trust, an event of default under our indentures or, after all applicable notices have been given and all applicable grace periods have expired, under the note purchase agreements, would permit the holders of our secured debt under the indentures or the note purchase agreements to exercise their remedies under the Deed of Trust.

Guarantees

At June 30, 2023, we did not have any material guarantees.

COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

See Note 6 to Financial Statements for discussion of commitments and contingencies.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES

We prepare our Financial Statements in accordance with GAAP governing rate-regulated operations. Application of these accounting policies in the preparation of our Financial Statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions about future events that affect the reporting of assets and liabilities at the balance sheet dates and revenues and expenses during the periods covered. We believe that there have been no significant changes in our critical accounting estimates during the six months ended June 30, 2023, as compared to the critical policies and estimates disclosed in “Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in our 2022 Form 10-K.

REGULATION AND RATES

Matters with the PUCT

Base Rate Review (PUCT Docket No. 53601) On April 6, 2023, the PUCT issued a final order in our comprehensive base rate review filed in May 2022 with the PUCT and the cities in our service territory that have retained original jurisdiction over rates. New base rates implementing the final order went into effect on May 1, 2023. The base rate review used a test year based on calendar year 2021 results with certain adjustments. We estimate that the final order results in an average increase over 2021 test year adjusted annualized revenue of 1.4%, and would result in an aggregate annualized revenue increase over the 2021 test year of approximately $79 million. Key findings made by the PUCT in the final order include setting our authorized return on equity at 9.7% (a decrease from our prior authorized return on equity of 9.8%), maintaining our regulatory capital structure at 57.5% debt to 42.5% equity, approving our requested regulatory asset amortization period of five years, changing depreciation rates and lives of certain depreciable assets, and approving our requested increase for our annual self-insurance reserve accrual primarily associated with storm related costs. In addition, the final order excluded from rates an acquisition premium and its associated amortization costs relating to certain plant facilities acquired by Oncor in 2019, as well as certain employee benefit and compensation related costs that we had previously capitalized during the period of 2017 through 2021. As a result, we recognized a $69 million ($54 million after-tax) write-off in the three months ended March 31, 2023 for the effects of that disallowance, as well as an additional charge against income due to certain similar employee benefit and compensation related costs that were capitalized during 2022.

On May 1, 2023, we filed a motion for rehearing seeking reconsideration of certain of the exclusions from rates, as well as seeking certain technical corrections to the final order. Certain intervening parties in the proceeding also filed motions for rehearing seeking reconsideration of various provisions in the final order. On June 30, 2023, the PUCT issued an order on rehearing in response to the motions for rehearing. The order on rehearing made certain technical and typographical corrections to the final order, but otherwise affirmed the material provisions of the final order and did not require modification of the rates that went into effect on May 1, 2023. The order on rehearing is subject to motions for rehearing and appeals. We cannot predict the outcome of these matters.

Capital Trackers— See Note 2 to Financial Statements for a discussion of interim DCRF and TCOS rate adjustment requests.

State Legislation

The Texas Legislature operates under a biennial system and meets in regular session in every odd-numbered year. The Texas Legislature convened its regular session in January 2023, which concluded May 29, 2023.

At any time, the Governor of Texas may convene a special session of the Texas Legislature, and in 2023 the Governor of Texas has so far called two special sessions following the end of the regular session. During any regular or special session, the Texas Legislature may hold hearings relevant to our business and bills may be introduced that, if adopted, could materially and adversely affect our business and our business prospects.

The Texas Legislature passed various legislation impacting the electric industry during its 2023 regular session, including the following bills that have now been enacted into law that we anticipate could have a significant impact on our business, financial condition, and results of operations, particularly through reduction of regulatory lag and increased regulatory certainty regarding recovery of certain costs:

Senate Bill 1015 allows utilities to file up to two DCRF interim rate update applications each year at any time during the year (with certain exceptions if a base rate proceeding is pending), and shortens the administrative process for the proceedings to 60 days. Prior to this legislation taking effect, utilities were only permitted to file one DCRF application per year, and were required to make that filing during the first eight days of April (unless otherwise extended by the PUCT). In addition, utilities were previously not permitted to file a DCRF interim rate update application during, or within a certain number of days before, a base rate proceeding. The legislation permits filing an application during a base rate proceeding, provided that filing is made at least 185 days after the commencement of the base rate proceeding.

50


 

Senate Bill 1016 creates a presumption that employee compensation and benefit expenses (other than pension, OPEBs, or certain incentive compensation for officers) that are reasonable and necessary if the expenses are consistent with market compensation studies issued within three years of the rate proceeding.

House Bill 2555 authorizes an electric utility, following rulemaking proceedings by the PUCT, to file for approval of a plan to increase the resiliency of its transmission and distribution system and provides recovery options for certain of those costs, including through deferral to regulatory assets.

Other state legislation enacted recently that could impact our business and operations include legislation reducing property taxes, legislation shortening the time period for certain approvals relating to transmission projects, legislation expanding and clarifying the uses of mobile generation leased by utilities during power outages, and legislation directing ERCOT and the PUCT to develop plans for transmission projects to serve certain high growth areas of the state, including the Permian Basin.

Summary

We cannot predict future regulatory or legislative actions or any changes in economic and securities market conditions. Such actions or changes could significantly alter our financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Interest Rate Risk

Market risk is the risk that we may experience a loss in value as a result of changes in market conditions such as interest rates that occur in the ordinary course of business. From time to time we transact in financial instruments to hedge interest rate risk related to our forecasted issuances of debt. There were no such hedges in place at June 30, 2023.

At June 30, 2023, all of our long-term debt, other than the borrowings under AR Facility, carried fixed interest rates. Borrowings under the AR Facility at June 30, 2023 bore interest at the daily cost of asset-backed commercial paper issued by the conduit lenders to fund the loans, plus related dealer commissions and note issuance costs. Additional borrowings under the AR Facility could bear interest, if funded by the committed lenders, at a rate per annum equal to SOFR calculated based on term SOFR for a one-month interest period, plus the SOFR Adjustment. Receivables LLC also pays a used and unused fee in connection with the AR Facility. At June 30, 2023, $325 million aggregate principal amount was outstanding under the AR Facility. The borrowing base for the AR Facility at June 30, 2023 was $495 million. On July 28, 2023, we borrowed an additional $135 million under the AR Facility.

In addition, borrowings of short-term debt under the Credit Facility bear interest on a floating rate basis. At June 30, 2023, there were no borrowings under the Credit Facility. Based on the amount of floating rate debt outstanding as of June 30, 2023, a hypothetical 100 basis point change (up or down) in the weighted average interest rates would not have a material impact on our results of operations or financial condition. For more information on our borrowings and interest rates charged, see Notes 4 and 5 to Financial Statements.

Credit Risk

Credit risk relates to the risk of loss associated with nonperformance by counterparties. Our distribution customers consist primarily of REPs. As a prerequisite for obtaining and maintaining certification, a REP must meet the financial resource standards established by the PUCT. Meeting these standards does not guarantee that a REP will be able to perform its obligations. REP certificates granted by the PUCT are subject to suspension and revocation for significant violation of PURA and PUCT rules. Significant violations include failure to timely remit payments for invoiced charges to a transmission and distribution utility pursuant to the terms of tariffs approved by the PUCT. We believe PUCT rules that allow for the recovery of uncollectible amounts due from REPs through rates significantly reduce our credit risk.

51


Our exposure to credit risk associated with trade accounts receivable totaled $978 million at June 30, 2023. The receivable balance is before the allowance for uncollectible accounts, which totaled $13 million at June 30, 2023. The exposure includes trade accounts receivable from REPs totaling $588 million, which are generally noninvestment grade and from transmission customers totaling $245 million, which primarily include investment grade distribution companies as well as cooperatives and municipally-owned utilities, which are generally considered low credit risk. At June 30, 2023, REP subsidiaries of Vistra and NRG Energy, Inc., our two largest customers collectively represented 21% and 19%, respectively, of the trade accounts receivable balance. No other customers represented 10% or more of the total trade accounts receivable balance. We view our exposure to these customers to be within an acceptable level of risk tolerance considering PUCT rules and regulations; however, this concentration increases the risk that a default could have a material effect on cash flows, liquidity, financial position and/or results of operation.

Our net exposure to credit risk associated with trade accounts and other receivables from affiliates was zero at June 30, 2023.

In the ordinary course of our business, we may also mitigate risk by requiring counterparties to provide us with security. For instance, we require customers who do not meet certain credit quality thresholds to provide security before we commence construction on certain customer-requested construction projects for generation interconnection or new/expanded electricity delivery system facilities. This process helps us to mitigate the risk of our expending funds on construction projects that are not put into service due to customer cancellation of the project. Customers may provide the required security in the form of cash, letters of credit, or, at Oncor’s discretion, through a parent/affiliate guaranty. Such customer-provided security is subject to return in accordance with PUCT rules, ERCOT requirements or our tariffs, and any cash received as such security is held in an escrow account and classified as restricted cash.

Except as discussed herein, the information required in this Item 3 is not significantly different from the information set forth in “Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk” in our 2022 Form 10-K and is therefore not presented herein.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This report and other presentations made by us contain “forward-looking statements.” All statements, other than statements of historical facts, that are included in this report, as well as statements made in presentations, in response to questions or otherwise, that address activities, events or developments that we expect or anticipate to occur in the future, including such matters as projections, capital allocation, future capital expenditures, business strategy, competitive strengths, goals, future acquisitions or dispositions, development or operation of facilities, market and industry developments and the growth of our business and operations (often, but not always, through the use of words or phrases such as “intends,” “plans,” “will likely result,” “are expected to,” “will continue,” “is anticipated,” “estimated,” “should,” “projection,” “target,” “goal,” “objective” and “outlook”), are forward-looking statements. Although we believe that in making any such forward-looking statement our expectations are based on reasonable assumptions, any such forward-looking statement involves risks, uncertainties and assumptions and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the discussion of risk factors under “Item 1A. Risk Factors” and “Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in our 2022 Form 10-K, “Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in this report and the following important factors, among others, that could cause our actual results to differ materially from those projected in such forward-looking statements:

legislation, governmental policies and orders, and regulatory actions, including those of the U.S. Congress, the President of the U.S., the Texas Legislature, the Governor of Texas, the FERC, the PUCT, ERCOT, NERC, the Texas RE, the U.S. Department of Energy, the EPA, and the TCEQ, and including with respect to:

significant changes in our relationship with our employees, including the availability of qualified personnel, and the potential adverse effects if labor disputes or grievances were to occur;

changes in assumptions used to estimate costs of providing employee benefits, including pension and OPEB, and future funding requirements related thereto;

significant changes in accounting policies or critical accounting estimates material to us;

commercial bank and financial market conditions, macroeconomic conditions, access to capital, the cost of such capital, and the results of financing and refinancing efforts, including availability of funds and the potential impact of any disruptions in U.S. capital and credit markets;

circumstances which may contribute to future impairment of goodwill, intangible or other long-lived assets;

financial and other restrictions under our debt agreements;

our ability to generate sufficient cash flow to make interest payments on our debt instruments; and

our ability to effectively execute our operational strategy.

Any forward-looking statement speaks only as of the date on which it is made, and, except as may be required by law, we undertake no obligation to update any forward-looking statement to reflect events or circumstances after the date on which it is made or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events. New factors emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for us to predict all of them; nor can we assess the impact of each such factor or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statement. As such, you should not unduly rely on such forward-looking statements.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

An evaluation was performed under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including the principal executive officer and principal financial officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the disclosure controls and procedures in effect at the end of the current period included in this quarterly report. Based on the evaluation performed, our management, including the principal executive officer and principal financial officer, concluded that the disclosure controls and procedures were effective.

There has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting during the most recently completed fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

For a discussion of material regulatory proceedings, see “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Regulation and Rates—Matters with the PUCT”. We are also involved in other legal and administrative proceedings in the normal course of business, the ultimate resolution of which, in the opinion of management, should not have a material effect on our financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. For a discussion of certain of these proceedings, see Notes 2 and 6 to the Financial Statements.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

There are numerous factors that affect our business and results of operations, many of which are beyond our control. In addition to the other information set forth in this report, including “Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations”, you should carefully consider the factors discussed in “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in our 2022 Form 10-K, which could materially affect our business, financial condition or future results. The risks described in such reports are not the only risks we face.
