Item 1A. RISK FACTORS
For information about the significant risks that could affect PG&E Corporation’s and the Utility’s financial condition, results of operations, liquidity, and cash flows, see Item 1A: “Risk Factors” in the 2025 Form 10-K, as supplemented in the section of this Form 10-Q entitled “Forward-Looking Statements.”
PART I. FINANCIAL INFORMATION
Item 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
OVERVIEW
This is a combined Form 10-Q of PG&E Corporation and the Utility and includes separate Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for each of these two entities. This combined MD&A should be read in conjunction with the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I, Item 1. It should also be read in conjunction with the 2025 Form 10-K.
Generally, PG&E Corporation’s and the Utility’s revenues vary based on the outcomes of ratemaking proceedings and the amount of pass-through costs incurred. See “Ratemaking Mechanisms” in Part I, Item 1: “Business” in the 2025 Form 10-K regarding how the Utility’s revenues are determined. Factors that cause costs to vary include the cost of purchased power and fuel; the costs of procurement, storage, and transportation of natural gas; weather; criminal, civil and regulatory charges for wildfires; the outcomes of ratemaking proceedings; and increases in interest expense as a result of additional debt issuances or changes in interest rates.
The discussions related to the results of operations and liquidity for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 compared to the same periods in 2024 are incorporated by reference to Part I, Item 2: “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in PG&E Corporation’s and the Utility’s combined Form 10-Q for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, which was filed with the SEC in July 2025.
Key Factors Affecting Financial Results
PG&E Corporation and the Utility believe that their financial condition, results of operations, liquidity, and cash flows may be materially affected by the following factors:
- The Uncertainties in Connection with Wildfires, Wildfire Mitigation, and Associated Cost Recovery. PG&E Corporation’s and the Utility’s financial condition, results of operations, liquidity, and cash flows may be materially affected by the costs and effectiveness of the Utility’s wildfire mitigation initiatives; the extent of damages from wildfires that do occur; the financial impacts of wildfires; and PG&E Corporation’s and the Utility’s ability to mitigate those financial impacts with insurance, self-insurance, the Wildfire Fund, the Continuation Account, and regulatory recovery.
In response to the wildfire threat facing California, PG&E Corporation and the Utility have taken aggressive steps designed to mitigate the threat of catastrophic wildfires. The Utility’s wildfire mitigation initiatives include Enhanced Powerline Safety Settings (“EPSS”), PSPS, vegetation management, asset inspections, system hardening, situational awareness tools, and ignition response. These initiatives reduce but do not eliminate the Utility’s wildfire risk.
Despite these extensive measures, the Utility’s equipment may still be involved in the ignition of future wildfires, including catastrophic wildfires. This risk is exacerbated by a variety of factors, including climate change and severe weather events (in particular, extended periods of seasonal dryness coupled with periods of high wind velocities and other storms), as well as infrastructure and vegetation conditions. Once an ignition has occurred, the Utility may be unable to control the extent of damages, which is determined primarily by environmental and vegetation conditions, third-party suppression efforts, and the location of the wildfire.
The financial impact of past wildfires has been significant. In addition to significant liabilities incurred for past wildfires, PG&E Corporation and the Utility have and will continue to incur substantial expenditures in connection with these initiatives. The extent to which the Utility will be able to recover these expenditures and other potential costs through rates is uncertain. The Utility could also face fines, penalties, enforcement action, or other adverse legal or regulatory consequences for noncompliance related to wildfire mitigation efforts.
PG&E Corporation and the Utility may be able to mitigate the financial impact of future wildfires in excess of insurance coverage or self-insurance through the Wildfire Fund, the Continuation Account, or cost recovery through rates. Each of these mitigations involves uncertainties, and liabilities could exceed available recoveries. Recorded liabilities in connection with the 2021 Dixie fire have exceeded potential amounts recoverable under applicable insurance policies.
If the eligible claims for liabilities arising from wildfires were to exceed $1.0 billion in any Wildfire Fund or Continuation Account coverage year (“Coverage Year”), the Wildfire Fund or the Continuation Account, as applicable, may be available to reimburse the Utility such excess amount. The Utility’s ability to recover wildfire costs depends on the Wildfire Fund or the Continuation Account having sufficient remaining funds, and the Wildfire Fund or the Continuation Account may also be depleted more quickly than expected as a result of claims made by California’s other participating electric utility companies. Whether the Utility will be required to reimburse the Wildfire Fund or the Continuation Account depends on its ability to demonstrate to the CPUC that paid wildfire-related costs were just and reasonable.
With respect to the Wildfire Fund, PG&E Corporation and the Utility expect to re-evaluate the reasonableness of the currently estimated 20-year life and recognize accelerated amortization of the Wildfire Fund asset based on reliable, publicly available information. SCE has disclosed that a liability for the wildfire that began on January 7, 2025, in Eaton Canyon in Los Angeles County, California (the “Eaton fire”) is probable, but a range of losses that may be incurred is not reasonably estimable. In the first quarter of 2026, SCE has also disclosed losses of $1.3 billion and a Wildfire Fund receivable of $295 million based on their recent settlement activity. As of June 30, 2026, PG&E Corporation and the Utility continue to use an estimated 20-year life and recognized accelerated amortization of $78 million.
With respect to the Continuation Account, additional uncertainties include whether the Wildfire Fund administrator determines that the Continuation Account is necessary, whether the CPUC authorizes extending the non-bypassable charge, whether the administrator determines that additional contributions are needed and, if so, the timing of those contingent contributions.
The Utility will be permitted to recover its wildfire-related claims in excess of available insurance and legal fees through rates unless the CPUC or the FERC, as applicable, determines that the Utility has not met the applicable prudency standard. The CPUC could interpret the revised prudency standard under AB 1054 or apply it to the relevant facts differently from how the Utility has interpreted and applied the standard, in which case the Utility may not be able to recover some or all of the expenses that it has recorded as receivables. As of June 30, 2026, the Utility has recorded receivables for regulatory recovery of $638 million for the 2021 Dixie fire and $61 million for the 2022 Mosquito fire. The Utility also received $128 million from the Wildfire Fund related to the wildfire that began on October 23, 2019 northeast of Geyserville in Sonoma County, California (the “2019 Kincade fire”). The Utility has recorded a deferred gain for this amount, which is included in Other noncurrent liabilities in PG&E Corporation’s and the Utility’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.
For more information, see Note 2 of the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in Part I, Item 1 regarding the Wildfire Fund asset, Note 3 regarding expenditures incurred for wildfire mitigation, “2021 Dixie Fire” and “2022 Mosquito Fire” in Note 10 regarding wildfire liabilities, “Loss Recoveries” in Note 10 regarding recoveries, and “Review and Recovery of Co

Item 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
PG&E Corporation’s and the Utility’s primary market risk results from changes in energy commodity prices. PG&E Corporation and the Utility engage in price risk management activities for non-trading purposes only. Both PG&E Corporation and the Utility may engage in these price risk management activities using forward contracts, futures, options, and swaps to hedge the impact of market fluctuations on energy commodity prices and interest rates. See the section above entitled “Risk Management Activities” in Part I, Item 2 and Notes 8 and 9 of the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in Part I, Item 1.
Item 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
As required by Rules 13a-15(b) or 15d-15(b) under the Exchange Act, management of PG&E Corporation and the Utility carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of their respective principal executive officers and principal financial officers, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of their disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) or 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this Form 10-Q. There are inherent limitations to the effectiveness of any system of disclosure controls and procedures. No matter how well designed and operated, disclosure controls and procedures can provide only reasonable, rather than absolute, assurance of achieving the desired control objectives. Based on the foregoing, PG&E Corporation’s and the Utility’s respective principal executive officers and principal financial officers concluded that such controls and procedures were effective as of the end of the period covered by this Form 10-Q.
There were no changes in internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the three months ended June 30, 2026, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, PG&E Corporation’s or the Utility’s internal control over financial reporting.
PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
In addition to the following proceedings, PG&E Corporation and the Utility are parties to various lawsuits and regulatory proceedings in the ordinary course of their business. For more information regarding material lawsuits and proceedings, including updates to information reported under Item 3: “Legal Proceedings” of the 2025 Form 10-K, see Notes 10 and 11 of the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in Part I, Item 1 and Part I, Item 2: “Litigation and Other Matters.”
Each of PG&E Corporation and the Utility has elected to disclose environmental proceedings described in Item 103(c)(3)(iii) of Regulation S-K unless it reasonably believes that such proceeding will result in no monetary sanctions, or in monetary sanctions, exclusive of interest and costs, of less than $1 million.
CZU Lightning Complex Fire Notices of Violation
Between November 2020 and January 2021, several governmental entities raised concerns regarding the Utility’s emergency response to the 2020 CZU Lightning Complex fire, including Cal Fire, the California Coastal Commission, the Central Coast Regional Water Quality Control Board, and the Santa Cruz County Board of Supervisors alleging environmental, vegetation management, and unpermitted work violations. The Utility continues to work with the California Coastal Commission and the Central Coast Regional Water Quality Control Board to resolve any outstanding issues. Violations can result in penalties, remediation, and other relief.
Based on the information available, PG&E Corporation and the Utility believe it is probable that a liability has been incurred. Accordingly, PG&E Corporation and the Utility have recorded charges for amounts that are not material. PG&E Corporation and the Utility do not believe that the resolution of these matters will have a material impact on their financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows.
Butte Canal Breach
On August 9, 2023, a canal in Butte County owned by the Utility breached. The Central Valley Regional Water Quality Control Board has alleged environmental violations in connection with the breach. Violations can result in penalties, remediation, and other relief.
Based on the information available, PG&E Corporation and the Utility believe it is probable that a liability has been incurred, but the amount of the liability is not reasonably estimable. PG&E Corporation and the Utility do not believe that the resolution of this matter will have a material impact on their financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows.
ITEM 2. UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS
None.
Item 5. OTHER INFORMATION
On June 5, 2026, W. Craig Fugate, who serves as a director of PG&E Corporation and the Utility, adopted a Rule 10b5-1 trading arrangement that is intended to satisfy the affirmative defense conditions of Rule 10b5-1(c), for the sale of 13,000 shares of PG&E Corporation common stock. The trading arrangement will terminate on May 26, 2027.
Certain officers have made elections to participate in, and are participating in, the PG&E Corporation Retirement Savings Plan, which includes a PG&E Corporation Common Stock Fund investment option, and non-qualified deferred compensation plans, which may have a similar option and are described in PG&E Corporation’s and the Utility’s joint proxy statement. Also, certain officers have made, and may from time to time make, elections to have shares withheld to cover withholding taxes upon the vesting of restricted stock units or performance share units, or to pay the exercise price and withholding taxes for stock options, which may be designed to satisfy the affirmative defense conditions of Rule 10b5-1 under the Exchange Act or may constitute “non-Rule 10b5-1 trading arrangements” (as defined in Item 408(c) of Regulation S-K).
