PG&E Corporation Reports Full-Year and Fourth-Quarter 2014 Results

SAN FRANCISCO, Calif.PG&E Corporations (NYSE: PCG) full-year 2014 net income after dividends on preferred stock (also called income available for common shareholders) was $1,436 million or $3.06 per share, as reported in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). This compares with $814 million, or $1.83 per share, for the full year 2013. For the fourth quarter of 2014, GAAP results were $0.27 per share, compared to $0.19 per share for the same quarter in 2013.

GAAP results include items that management does not consider part of normal, ongoing operations (items impacting comparability), which totaled $349 million pre-tax, or $0.44 per share, for the year and $197 million pre-tax, or $0.26 per share, for the quarter. These items related almost entirely to natural gas matters, including costs to make safety improvements as well as legal and other items. They include a write-off of $116 million pre-tax for an increase in the forecast for outstanding Pipeline Safety Enhancement Plan capital expenditures. The cost to shareholders for natural gas pipeline safety-related work incurred since the San Bruno accident or committed over the next several years now totals about $2.8 billion, based on current forecasts.

We made tremendous progress in 2014 as we worked together to provide our customers with energy that is safe, reliable, affordable and clean. In our gas business, we completed our system-wide cast iron pipe replacement program and became one of the first utilities ever to achieve two of the most respected safety-focused asset management certifications�in the world. In our electric business, we set a company record for electric reliability for the sixth straight year and more than 50 percent of our electricity was greenhouse-gas-free. We also achieved a balanced outcome in our General Rate Case under which our customers continue to have bills that are below the national average. Im very pleased to report that customers recognized these efforts with 2014 satisfaction scores that were the highest since 2009, PG&E Chairman and CEO Tony Earley said.

With regard to the regulatory arena, we had a disappointing setback regarding ex parte communications that we sincerely regret. We took swift and decisive action to address this serious matter and to avoid ex parte violations in the future. As we look to 2015, we continue to believe that it is vital that state regulators resolve gas pipeline investigations that have been ongoing for more than four years, Earley added.

Earnings from Operations

On a non-GAAP basis, excluding items impacting comparability, PG&E Corporations earnings from operations in 2014 were $1,648 million, or $3.50 per share, compared with $1,210 million, or $2.72 per share, in 2013. For the fourth quarter of 2014, earnings from operations were $253 million, or $0.53 per share, up from $191 million, or $0.42 per share, during the same period in 2013. The largest factor contributing to this quarter-over-quarter increase was the impact of expense recovery authorized in the utilitys 2014 General Rate Case.

PG&E Corporation discloses historical financial results based on 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 that management believes do not reflect the normal course of operations. Earnings from operations are not a substitute or alternative for consolidated income available for common shareholders presented in accordance with GAAP. See the accompanying tables for a reconciliation of the differences between results based on earnings from operations and results based on consolidated income available for common shareholders.

2015 Earnings Guidance

As the utility is still awaiting a final decision in the gas penalty proceedings, PG&E Corporation is not at this time providing guidance for 2015 earnings per share from operations.��However, some of the assumptions, risks and uncertainties that are expected to have an impact on 2015 earnings from operations will be discussed during today's conference call with the financial community.

Cautionary Language Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

�

Management's statement regarding the cost to shareholders for natural gas pipeline safety-related work incurred since the San Bruno accident or committed over the next several years is a forward-looking statement that is based on assumptions about the estimated scope and timing of work and current cost forecasts. The statement and the underlying assumptions are necessarily subject to various risks and uncertainties. Some of the factors that could cause actual results to differ materially include:

�

��

the final outcomes of the pending CPUC investigations and enforcement matters, the federal criminal prosecution of the Utility, and the other investigations that have been or may be commenced relating to the Utilitys compliance with natural gas-related laws and regulations, including whether a monitor is appointed to oversee the Utilitys natural gas operations, and the ultimate amount of costs related to the Utilitys natural gas operations that is disallowed or unrecoverable;

�

��	the outcome of the Utilitys 2015 Gas Transmission and Storage (GT&S) rate case pending at the CPUC;

�

��

the timing and outcome of additional regulatory enforcement actions or criminal investigations that may be or have been commenced relating to communications between the Utility and the CPUC and whether such outcomes or investigations negatively affect the final decisions to be issued in the 2015 GT&S rate case, the pending CPUC investigations, or other ratemaking proceedings;

�

��	changes in cost forecasts and assumptions regarding the scope and timing of natural gas related work, including costs to comply with local ordinances and environmental and other permits; and

�

��	the other factors disclosed in PG&E Corporations and the Utilitys joint Annual Report on Form 10-Q for the year ended December 31, 2014.

(3) � � � �	The Utility incurred net costs of $197 million and $356 million pre-tax, during the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2014, respectively, in connection with natural gas matters. These amounts included pipeline-related costs to perform work under the Utilitys pipeline safety enhancement plan (PSEP) and other activities associated with safety improvements to the Utilitys natural gas system, as well as legal and other costs related to natural gas matters, including $7 million for legal costs related to regulatory communications. A charge of $116 million was also recorded for PSEP capital expenditures, reflecting forecasted capital expenditures in 2015 and beyond that are expected to exceed the amount authorized for recovery. Accrued fines includes a charge for violations related to the Carmel incident of $10.85 million and for violations of the rules governing ex parte communications of $1.05 million. These costs were partially offset by insurance recoveries and the resolution of all remaining third-party claims related to the San Bruno accident, which resulted in a reduction to the accrual for third-party liability claims.

After the State of California established a final drinking water standard for hexavalent chromium that became effective on July 1, 2014, the Utility discontinued its whole house water replacement program associated with remediation at the Utilitys natural gas compressor station located near Hinkley, California.��Accordingly, the Utility reduced its accrual related to the whole house water program by $7 million, pre-tax, in the third quarter of 2014. No additional amounts were recorded during the three months ended December 31, 2014.

* Safe Harbor Statements Management's statements and assumptions about PG&E Corporations 2015 earnings from operations (including estimates and forecasts of costs, capital expenditures, rate base, and equity issuances) are forward-looking statements that reflect managements judgment and opinions. These statements and assumptions are necessarily subject to various risks and uncertainties, the realization or resolution of which may be outside of managements control. PG&E Corporation and the Utility are not able to predict all the factors that may affect future results. Some of the factors that could cause actual results to differ materially include: the final outcomes of the pending CPUC investigations and enforcement matters, the federal criminal prosecution of the Utility, and the other investigations that have been or may be commenced relating to the Utilitys compliance with natural gas-related laws and regulations, including the ultimate amount of fines imposed, whether a monitor is appointed to oversee the Utilitys natural gas operations, and the ultimate amount of costs related to the Utilitys natural gas operations that is disallowed or unrecoverable; the timing and outcome of additional regulatory enforcement actions or criminal investigations that may be or have been commenced relating to communications between the Utility and the CPUC and whether such outcomes or investigations negatively affect the final decisions to be issued in the 2015 GT&S rate case, the pending CPUC investigations, or other ratemaking proceedings; whether PG&E Corporation and the Utility are able to repair the harm to their reputations caused by negative publicity about the San Bruno accident, the criminal prosecution, the citations issued by the SED against the Utility under the CPUCs gas safety citation program, the state and federal investigations, the CPUCs restrictions on the Utilitys communications with the CPUC, and the Utilitys ongoing work to remove encroachments from transmission pipeline rights-of-way; the amount and timing of additional common stock and debt issuances by PG&E Corporation; the ability of PG&E Corporation and the Utility to access capital markets and other sources of debt and equity financing in a timely manner on acceptable terms; changes in credit ratings that could result in increased borrowing costs especially if PG&E Corporation or the Utility were to lose its investment grade credit ratings; whether the ultimate outcome of investigations and enforcement proceedings affects the Utilitys ability to make distributions to PG&E Corporation, and, in turn, PG&E Corporations ability to pay dividends; the occurrence of events, including cyber-attacks, that cause unplanned outages, reduce generating output, disrupt service to customers, damage property owned by the Utility or third parties, subject the Utility to claims by third parties, or result in the imposition of civil, criminal, or regulatory penalties on the Utility; the impact of changes in GAAP, standards, rules, or policies, including those related to regulatory accounting, and the impact of changes in their interpretation or application; and the other factors disclosed in PG&E Corporations and the Utilitys joint Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014.

* Exhibit A: Reconciliation of PG&E Corporation Earnings from Operations to Consolidated Income Available for Common Shareholders in Accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) Fourth Quarter and full year, 2014 vs. 2013 (in millions, except per share amounts) Earnings from operations is not calculated in accordance with GAAP and excludes items impacting comparability as described in Note (2) below. Items impacting comparability reconcile earnings from operations with Consolidated Income Available for Common Shareholders as reported in accordance with GAAP. The Utility incurred net costs of $197 million and $356 million pre-tax, during the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2014, respectively, in connection with natural gas matters. These amounts included pipeline-related costs to perform work under the Utilitys pipeline safety enhancement plan (PSEP) and other activities associated with safety improvements to the Utilitys natural gas system, as well as legal and other costs related to natural gas matters, including $7 million for legal costs related to regulatory communications. A charge of $116 million was also recorded for PSEP capital expenditures, reflecting forecasted capital expenditures in 2015 and beyond that are expected to exceed the amount authorized for recovery. Accrued fines includes a charge for violations related to the Carmel incident of $10.85 million and for violations of the rules governing ex parte communications of $1.05 million. These costs were partially offset by insurance recoveries and the resolution of all remaining third-party claims related to the San Bruno accident, which resulted in a reduction to the accrual for third-party liability claims. After the State of California established a final drinking water standard for hexavalent chromium that became effective on July 1, 2014, the Utility discontinued its whole house water replacement program associated with remediation at the Utilitys natural gas compressor station located near Hinkley, California. Accordingly, the Utility reduced its accrual related to the whole house water program by $7 million, pre-tax, in the third quarter of 2014. No additional amounts were recorded during the three months ended December 31, 2014.

* Exhibit B: Key Drivers of PG&E Corporation Earnings per Common Share (EPS) from Operations Fourth Quarter and full year, 2014 vs. 2013 ($/Share, Diluted) See Exhibit A for a reconciliation of EPS from Operations to EPS on a GAAP basis. In 2013, the Utility incurred approximately $200 million of expense and $1 billion of capital costs above authorized levels. The 2014 GRC decision authorized revenues that support this higher level of spending in 2014 and throughout the GRC period. The amounts in the table represent the after-tax higher authorized revenue recognized during the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2014, for the recovery of these expenses and costs. Represents the favorable impact of recent IRS guidance and forecast changes based on flow-through ratemaking treatment for federal tax deductions resulting from temporary differences attributable to repairs and certain other property-related costs as reflected in the revenue requirements authorized in the 2014 GRC decision. Includes customer energy efficiency incentive awards. Represents the timing of taxes reportable in quarterly statements, nuclear refueling, and other expenses.

* Exhibit C: Operational Performance Metrics The 2014 target for earnings from operations is not publicly reported. See following page for definitions of the operational performance metrics.

�

* Definitions of 2014 Operational Performance Metrics from Exhibit C Safety Public and employee safety are measured in four areas: (1) Nuclear Operations Safety, (2) Gas Operations Safety, (3) Electric Operations Safety, and (4) Employee Safety. The safety of the Utilitys nuclear power operations, Unit 1 and Unit 2, is an index comprised of 12 performance indicators for nuclear power generation that are regularly benchmarked against other nuclear power generators. The safety of the Utilitys natural gas operations is represented by (a) the number of third party dig-ins (i.e., damage resulting in repair or replacement of underground facility) to Utility gas assets per 1,000 Underground Service Alert tickets; and (b) the timeliness (measured in minutes) of on-site response to gas emergency service calls. The safety of the Utilitys electric operations is represented by (a) the percentage improvement in the number of wire down events with resulting sustained unplanned outages compared to the same report period of the previous year, and (b) the percentage of time that Utility personnel are on site within 60 minutes after receiving a 911 call of a potential PG&E electric hazard. The safety of the Utilitys employees is represented by (a) the number of lost workday cases incurred per 200,000 hours worked (or for approximately every 100 employees), and (b) the number of serious preventable motor vehicle incidents that the driver could have reasonably avoided, per one million miles driven. Customer Customer satisfaction and service reliability are measured by: The overall satisfaction (measured as a score of zero to 100) of customers with the products and services offered by the Utility, as measured through a quarterly survey performed by an independent third-party research firm. The Utilitys ability to complete planned in-line inspections and pipeline retrofit projects, measured by two equally weighted components of (a) In-Line Inspections and (b) In-Line Upgrades. The timeliness (measured in days) of gas asset information being entered into the Utilitys gas mapping system after a gas project is completed. The efficient completion of certain committed work for gas operations-related programs. The index is comprised of three components related to the completion of committed work and the cost of completing the work. The total time (measured in minutes) the average customer is without electric power during a given time period. Financial Earnings from operations measures PG&E Corporations earnings power from ongoing core operations. It allows investors to compare the underlying financial performance of the business from one period to another, exclusive of items that management believes do not reflect the normal course of operations (items impacting comparability). Earnings from operations is not calculated in accordance with GAAP. For a reconciliation of earnings from operations to earnings in accordance with GAAP, see Exhibit A.

* (1) Includes other sources of electric energy totaling 2,004 kWh and 1,958 kWh for the three months ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively, and 5,501 kWh and 5,132 kWh for the twelve months ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. Exhibit D: Pacific Gas and Electric Company Sales and Sources Summary Fourth Quarter and full year, 2014 vs. 2013 Please see the 2014 Annual Report on Form 10-K for additional information about operating statistics.

�

* Exhibit E: PG&E Corporation Guidance for Items Impacting Comparability (IIC) Items impacting comparability are those items that management believes do not reflect the normal course of operations. These items are excluded when calculating earnings from operations which is a non-GAAP measure that allows investors to compare the underlying financial performance of the business from one period to another. These items are included in calculating Consolidated Income Available for Common Shareholders in accordance with GAAP. Pipeline related expenses includes costs to perform remaining work associated with the Utilitys Pipeline Safety Enhancement Plan and costs related to the Utilitys multi-year effort to identify and remove encroachments from transmission pipeline rights-of-way. The pre-tax range of estimated costs is shown below. (3) Legal and regulatory related expenses includes legal and other costs incurred in connection with various enforcement, regulatory, and litigation activities regarding natural gas matters and regulatory communications. The pre-tax range of estimated costs is shown below. Actual financial results for 2015 may differ materially from the guidance provided. For a discussion of the factors that may affect future results, see the Safe Harbor Statements. (4) Fines and penalties includes future fines or penalties resulting from various enforcement, regulatory and litigation activities regarding natural gas matters and regulatory communications. Guidance does not include amounts for such fines or penalties, which could have a material impact on PG&E Corporation and the Utilitys financial results. (5) The guidance provided does not include any additional insurance recoveries for third-party liability claims related to the San Bruno accident. The Utility recognizes insurance recoveries when they are deemed probable under applicable accounting standards. Guidance also does not include potential environmental-related costs that the Utility could incur if the final order for remediation at Hinkley is more onerous than the Utilitys proposal.
