PG&E Corporation Reports Second-Quarter 2018 Financial Results
| ◾ | Recorded GAAP losses were $1.91 per share for the second quarter of 2018, compared with income of $0.79 per share for the same period in 2017. |
| ◾ | Non-GAAP earnings from operations were $1.16 per share for the second quarter of 2018, compared with $0.86 per share for the same period in 2017. |
San Francisco, Calif. — PG&E Corporation’s (NYSE: PCG) recorded second-quarter 2018 net losses attributable to common shareholders were $984 million or $1.91 per share, as reported in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). This compares with net income available to common shareholders of $406 million, or $0.79 per share, for the second quarter of 2017.
GAAP results include items that management does not consider part of normal, ongoing operations (items impacting comparability), which totaled $1.6 billion after-tax, or $3.07 per share, for the quarter. This was primarily driven by a $2.5 billion pre-tax charge for estimated third-party claims related to 14 of the Northern California wildfires, partially offset by probable insurance recoveries. Items impacting comparability for the quarter also include Utility clean-up and repair costs, legal and other costs related to the Northern California wildfires, as well as legal costs related to the Butte fire, costs to clear pipeline rights-of-way, and probable cost recoveries of insurance premiums incurred in 2017 above amounts included in authorized revenue requirements.
“With an intense wildfire season already upon us, PG&E is taking additional precautionary steps in response to last year’s wildfires through our Community Wildfire Safety Program. This includes new technologies and practices intended to improve fire prevention and response to help keep our customers and communities safe. At the same time, we continue to advocate for comprehensive policy reforms, including reforming the flawed legal doctrine of inverse condemnation, that are essential to our state achieving its important climate and clean energy goals,” said PG&E Corporation CEO and President Geisha Williams.
Operational highlights from the second quarter related to wildfire preparedness and response include:
| ● | Began daily aerial fire detection patrols across thousands of miles of PG&E’s service area to assist forest and fire agencies with early fire detection and response. Seven planes will fly daily routes over the next several months. |
| ● | Secured and deployed two new heavy-lift helicopters to support critical utility work and assist with wildfire response efforts, as requested by fire agencies. |
| ● | Installed additional weather stations to capture real-time data to improve awareness of fire danger conditions. A total of 200 new weather stations are set to be installed in 2018. |
| ● | Began new vegetation work to expand clearances and create fire defense zones around power lines. |
| ● | Informed more than 570,000 homes and businesses served by electric lines in extreme-fire threat areas that PG&E may have to shut off power for public safety if extreme fire danger conditions occur, as a last resort. |
Beyond a heightened focus on wildfire prevention and response, PG&E is moving forward with initiatives that continue to build California’s clean energy future. For example:
| ● | Requested approval from the California Public Utilities Commission for four energy storage projects, totaling approximately 567 megawatts, including a proposed PG&E-owned 182.5 MW lithium-ion battery energy storage system in Moss Landing, Calif., which would be PG&E’s largest utility-owned storage facility. |
| ● | Signed the first community solar project to be included in PG&E’s Regional Renewable Choice Program, which allows all customers, including renters and those who can’t install solar power, the option of purchasing up to 100 percent local solar energy. |
| ● | Announced a new goal to reduce 1 million tons of greenhouse-gas emissions from company operations through 2022. |
Non-GAAP Earnings from Operations
PG&E Corporation’s non-GAAP earnings from operations, which exclude items impacting comparability (IIC), were $601 million, or $1.16 per share, in the second quarter of 2018, compared with $440 million, or $0.86 per share, during the same period in 2017.
The increase in quarter-over-quarter non-GAAP earnings from operations was primarily driven by the timing and duration of nuclear refueling outages, the impact of miscellaneous regulatory decisions, probable cost recoveries of insurance premiums incurred in 2018 above amounts included in authorized revenue requirements, and the timing of taxes resulting from the percentage of quarterly earnings to annual earnings.
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 $1.6 billion to $1.8 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 pipeline rights-of-way, 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-related costs, net of insurance, pipeline-related expenses, Butte fire-related costs, net of insurance, 2017 insurance premium cost recovery, Diablo Canyon settlement-related disallowance, legal and regulatory-related expenses, fines and penalties, and 2015 GT&S rate case revenue timing impact. 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.

All amounts presented in the table above are tax adjusted at PG&E Corporation’s statutory tax rate of 27.98 percent for 2018 and 40.75 percent for 2017, except for the tax impact of stock compensation. See Footnote 8 below. (2) Represents the impact of various regulatory outcomes during the three and six months ended June 30, 2018. (3) Represents insurance premium costs incurred during the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, above amounts included in authorized revenue requirements, that are probable of recovery as a result of the CPUC’s June 2018 decision authorizing a WEMA. (4) Represents the timing of taxes reportable in quarterly statements in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification 740, Income Taxes, and results from variances in the percentage of quarterly earnings to annual earnings. (5) Represents the impact of the increase in rate base authorized in various rate cases, including the 2017 General Rate Case (“GRC”), during the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, as compared to the same period in 2017. The CPUC’s May 2017 final decision in the 2017 GRC delayed recognition of the 2017 revenue increase until the second quarter of 2017, resulting in a smaller revenue increase in the second quarter of 2018 as compared to the first quarter of 2018. (6) Represents incremental revenue recorded in the second quarter of 2017 to recover GRC-related capital costs (depreciation and interest) incurred in the first quarter of 2017.

Definitions of 2018 Operational Performance Metrics from Exhibit C Safety Public and employee safety are measured in four areas: Nuclear Operations Safety, Electric Operations Safety, Gas Operations Safety, and Employee Safety. The safety of the Utility’s nuclear power operations, DCPP Unit 1 and Unit 2, is based on 11 performance indicators for nuclear power generation, including unit capability, on-line reliability, safety system unavailability, radiation exposure, and safety accident rate, as reported to the Institute of Nuclear Power Operations. The safety of the Utility’s electric and gas operations is represented by: • Public Safety Index – Measure consisting of a weighted index of three electric programs that evaluate the effectiveness of compliance activities in the Fire Index Areas: (1) Vegetation Non-Exempt Pole Clearing (25%), (2) Routine Line Vegetation Management (50%), and (3) Tree Mortality Mitigation Program (25%). • Gas and Electric Asset Records Duration Indices (equally weighed) – Measure consisting of a weighted index tracking the average number of days to complete the as-built process in the system of record for electric and gas capital and expense jobs from the time construction is completed in the field or released to operations: (1) Gas: Transmission (30%), (2) Gas: Station (5%), (3) Gas: Distribution (15%), (4) Electric: Transmission Line (12.5%), (5) Electric: Substation (12.5%) and (6) Electric: Distribution (25%). • Gas In-Line Inspections and Upgrades Index – Index measuring the Utility’s ability to complete planned in-line inspections and pipeline retrofit projects. • Gas Dig-Ins Reduction – Number of third-party dig-ins to the Utility’s gas assets per 1,000 Underground Service Alert tickets. A dig-in refers to any damage (impact or exposure) that result in a repair or replacement of an underground facility as a result of an excavation. The safety of the Utility’s employees is represented by: • Serious Injuries and Fatalities (SIF) Corrective Action Index – Index measuring (1) percentage of SIF corrective actions completed on time, and (2) quality of corrective actions as measured against an externally derived framework. • Safe Driving Rate – Measure tracking the total number of alerts for hard braking and hard acceleration per thousand miles driven in company vehicles equipped with in-vehicle performance monitors. Customer Customer satisfaction and service cycle time are measured by: • Customer Satisfaction Score – Overall satisfaction of customers with the products and services offered by the Utility, as measured through an ongoing survey. • Customer Connection Cycle Time – Measure tracking the 12-month average design and construction cycle time for electric residential disconnect/reconnect work requested by the Utility’s customers and performed through Express Connections (the Utility’s new customer gateway), measured in business days. Financial Non-GAAP Earnings from Operations (shown in millions of dollars) represents the non-GAAP financial measure 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. 20

(1) “Items impacting comparability” represent items that management does not consider part of the normal course of operations andaffect comparability of financial results between periods. See Exhibit G: Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures. (2) “Pipeline-related expenses” includes costs to identify and remove encroachments from transmission pipeline rights-of-way. The pre-tax range of estimated costs is shown below. The offsetting tax impact for the low and high IIC guidance range is $17 million and $10 million, respectively. 2018 (in millions, pre-tax) guidance Low IIC range guidance High IIC range Pipeline-related expenses $ 60 $ 35 (3) “Butte fire-related costs, net of insurance” refers to legal costs and estimated third-party claims associated with the Butte fire, net of contractor insurance recoveries. The pre-tax range of estimated costs shown below includes $7 million of contractor insurance recoveries. Based on the cumulative charges recorded through 2017 of $1.1 billion, the cumulative range for third-party claims is $1.1 billion to $1.3 billion. The total offsetting tax impact for the low and high IIC guidance range is $73 million and $8 million, respectively. 2018 (in millions, pre-tax) guidance Low IIC range guidance High IIC range Legal costs, net of insurance $ 60 $ 30 Third-party claims 200—Butte fire-related costs, net of insurance $ 260 $ 30 (4) “Northern California wildfire-related costs, net of insurance” refers to estimated third-party claims, Utility clean-up and repair costs, and legal and other costs associated with the Northern California wildfires, net of probable insurance recoveries. The pre-tax range of estimated costs shown below includes accrued charges through June 30, 2018 for estimated third-party claims in connection with 14 of the Northern California wildfires. Guidance is consistent with the low end of the estimated range of costs related to such third-party claims. The Utility is currently unable to estimate the high end of the range of costs related to third-party claims. The insurance recoveries estimate is based on an accounting assessment, but the actual timing and amount of insurance recoveries may vary. The total offsetting tax impact for the low and high IIC guidance range is $627 million and $623 million, respectively. 2018 (in millions, pre-tax) guidance Low IIC range guidance High IIC range Third-party claims $ 2,500 $ 2,500 Legal and other costs 160 110 Utility clean up and repair costs 40 40 Insurance recoveries (460) (425) Northern California wildfire-related costs, net of insurance $ 2,240 $ 2,225 22

Exhibit G: Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures PG&E Corporation and Pacific Gas and Electric Company: Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures 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-related costs, net of insurance, pipeline-related expenses, Butte fire-related costs, net of insurance, 2017 insurance premium cost recovery, Diablo Canyon settlement-related disallowance, legal and regulatory-related expenses, fines and penalties, and 2015 GT&S rate case revenue timing impact. 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. 25
