RE: EXC Exelon provides forward dividend guidance .. ===== Exelon reports EPS in-line; guides FY13 EPS in-line; plans lower dividend starting in Q2 ( EXC) 30.98 : Reports Q4 (Dec) earnings of $0.64 per share, in-line with the Capital IQ Consensus Estimate consensus of $0.64. Co issues in-line guidance for FY13, sees EPS of $2.35-2.65 vs. $2.54 Capital IQ Consensus Estimate. Exelon's Board of Directors declared the first quarter 2013 dividend of $0.525 per share and approved a revised dividend policy going forward. The first quarter dividend is payable on March 8, 2013, to shareholders of record at 5 p.m. EST on Feb. 19, 2013. The first quarter dividend is based on our previous level of $2.10 per share on an annualized basis, while the new dividend contemplates a regular $0.31 per share quarterly dividend beginning in the second quarter of 2013 (or $1.24 per share on an annualized basis). Exelon intends to maintain the normal cadence of quarterly dividend declarations by the Board, so the Board will take formal action to declare the next dividend in the second quarter. ===== Triff ..
