Key Factors Affecting Financial Results

  • The uncertainties around wildfires, wildfire mitigation efforts, and associated cost recovery. PG&E has taken aggressive steps to mitigate wildfire risk, but the potential for future wildfires remains significant. The financial impact of past wildfires is substantial, and PG&E’s ability to recover costs is uncertain.
  • The timing and outcome of ratemaking and other regulatory proceedings. PG&E’s revenues and earnings depend on the results of these proceedings, which can be affected by many factors.
  • PG&E’s ability to control operating and financing costs. PG&E aims to achieve cost savings through efficiency improvements, but increased volatility in capital markets and interest rates may impact its financing costs.

Tax Matters

  • PG&E Corporation had significant net operating loss carryforwards as of December 31, 2024, which are subject to potential limitations under Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code.

Results of Operations

  • PG&E Corporation’s consolidated results are primarily driven by the Utility’s performance.
  • The Utility’s operating revenues increased in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 compared to the same periods in 2024, primarily due to increased revenues to recover costs associated with extended operations at the Diablo Canyon Power Plant (DCPP) and interim rate relief.
  • The Utility’s operating expenses increased, primarily due to higher costs for electricity procurement, natural gas, and wildfire mitigation efforts, partially offset by lower interim rate relief and insurance costs.
  • The Utility’s net income increased in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 compared to the same periods in 2024.

Liquidity and Financial Resources

  • PG&E expects to be able to generate and obtain adequate cash to meet its cash requirements in the short and long term.
  • PG&E has access to various financing sources, including equity issuances, debt financings, credit facilities, and other arrangements, to fund its operations and capital expenditures.
  • PG&E’s future cash flows will be affected by factors such as the timing and amount of costs related to wildfires, the outcomes of regulatory proceedings, and changes in interest rates.

Regulatory Matters

  • PG&E is subject to extensive regulation by various agencies, and the outcomes of regulatory proceedings can materially affect its financial condition and results of operations.
  • PG&E has pending cost recovery applications related to wildfire mitigation and catastrophic events, as well as other forward-looking rate cases.
  • Recent regulatory developments include the CPUC’s approval of increased cost caps for the Utility’s energization efforts and the Utility’s filing of its 2027 General Rate Case application.

Overall, PG&E’s financial performance continues to be significantly impacted by the uncertainties around wildfires and the associated costs, as well as the outcomes of regulatory proceedings. The company’s ability to control costs and secure favorable regulatory outcomes will be critical to its future financial stability and growth.
