2016 Earnings Guidance

PG&E Corporation is adjusting the previously issued guidance range for projected GAAP earnings to $2.83 to $3.15 per share to reflect the timing impacts of Gas Transmission and Storage revenues, estimates for probable capital disallowance in the 2015 GT&S rate case, and estimates of Butte fire costs net of insurance. The GAAP range also includes forecasts for expected pipeline-related costs related to transmission rights-of-way, legal and regulatory expenses related to natural gas matters and regulatory communications, and fines and penalties. PG&E Corporation is maintaining its previously issued 2016 guidance for non-GAAP earnings from operations in the range of $3.65 to $3.85 per share. Guidance is based on various assumptions and forecasts, including those relating to expenses, authorized revenues, capital expenditures, rate base, and equity issuances.
