PG&E Corporation Reports Third-Quarter 2018 Financial Results

◾ GAAP earnings were $1.09 per share for the third quarter of 2018, compared to $1.07 per share for the same period in 2017.

◾ Non-GAAP earnings from operations were $1.13 per share for the third quarter of 2018, compared to $1.12 per share for the same period in 2017.

San Francisco, Calif. — PG&E Corporation’s (NYSE: PCG) recorded third-quarter 2018 net income available to common shareholders was $564 million, or $1.09 per share, as reported in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). This compares with net income available to common shareholders of $550 million, or $1.07 per share, for the third quarter of 2017.

GAAP results include items that management does not consider part of normal, ongoing operations (items impacting comparability), which totaled $18 millionafter-tax, or $0.04 per share, for the quarter. This was primarily driven by legal and other costs, net of probable insurance recoveries, related to the Northern California wildfires. This was partially offset by a reduction ingas-related capital disallowance estimates. Items impacting comparability for the quarter also include legal costs related to the Butte fire and costs to clear pipelinerights-of-way.

“Driven by the growing threat posed by extreme weather, PG&E is making critical investments and further enhancing our operations so that our communities are safer and more resilient. We are committed to helping meet California’s climate challenges while continuing to invest in a sustainable energy future for all of our customers,” said PG&E Corporation CEO and President Geisha Williams.

In recent months, PG&E’s work to further reduce the risk of wildfires and address public safety has included the following actions:

● Creating even greater safety clearances between trees and power lines in neighborhoods that face the most extreme wildfire threat to reduce the risk of vegetation coming into contact with lines;

● Continued installation of additional weather stations and early fire detection cameras to have better situational awareness of where extreme wildfire danger could occur; and

● Proactively turning off power for safety in certain communities in the North Bay and Sierra Foothills before forecasted extreme weather in October.

Among recent legislative and regulatory developments:

● California lawmakers passed important wildfire policy reforms as outlined in Senate Bill 901. A series of upcoming regulatory filings, including PG&E’s 2020 General Rate Case, will lay out the company’s wildfire risk management programs in detail.

● The California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) approved a revised Power Charge Indifference Adjustment for customers who choose Community Choice Aggregation programs, reducing the cost-shift to remaining bundled utility customers.

Non-GAAP Earnings from Operations

PG&E Corporation’s non-GAAP earnings from operations, which exclude items impacting comparability (IIC), were $582 million, or $1.13 per share, in the third quarter of 2018, compared with $578 million, or $1.12 per share, during the same period in 2017.

The increase in quarter-over-quarter non-GAAP earnings from operations was primarily driven by growth in rate base earnings and probable cost recoveries of insurance premiums incurred in 2018 above amounts included in authorized revenue requirements, partially offset by the timing of operational spend in 2017.

PG&E Corporation discloses historical financial results based on “non-GAAP earnings from operations,” which is a non-GAAP financial measure, in order to provide a measure that allows investors to compare the underlying financial performance of the business from one period to another, exclusive of items impacting comparability. See the accompanying tables for a reconciliation of non-GAAP earnings from operations to consolidated income available for common shareholders.

IIC Guidance

PG&E Corporation is not providing at this time guidance for 2018 GAAP earnings and non-GAAP earnings from operations due to the uncertainty related to the Northern California wildfires. The company is providing 2018 IIC guidance of $1.65 billion to $1.82 billion after-tax for costs related to 14 of the Northern California wildfires, net of insurance, costs related to the Butte fire, net of contractor insurance, costs to clear pipelinerights-of-way, a reduction togas-related capital disallowance estimates, and probable cost recoveries of insurance premiums incurred in 2017 above amounts included in authorized revenue requirements.

IIC guidance is based on various assumptions and forecasts related to future expenses and certain other factors.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

PG&E Corporation and Pacific Gas and Electric Company

PG&E Corporation discloses historical financial results and provides guidance based on “non-GAAP earnings from operations” in order to provide a measure that allows investors to compare the underlying financial performance of the business from one period to another, exclusive of items impacting comparability.

“Non-GAAP earnings from operations” is a non-GAAP financial measure and is calculated as income available for common shareholders less items impacting comparability. “Items impacting comparability” represent items that management does not consider part of the normal course of operations and affect comparability of financial results between periods, including Northern California wildfire- and Butte fire-related costs, net of insurance, pipeline-related expenses, reduction ingas-related capital disallowances, 2017 insurance premium cost recoveries, fines and penalties, Diablo Canyon settlement-related disallowance, legal and regulatory-related expenses, GT&S revenue timing impact, and net benefit from derivative litigation settlement. PG&E Corporation uses non-GAAP earnings from operations to understand and compare operating results across reporting periods for various purposes including internal budgeting and forecasting, short- and long-term operating planning, and employee incentive compensation. PG&E Corporation believes that non-GAAP earnings from operations provide additional insight into the underlying trends of the business, allowing for a better comparison against historical results and expectations for future performance.

Non-GAAP earnings from operations are not a substitute or alternative for GAAP measures such as consolidated income available for common shareholders and may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies.
