FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This report contains forward-looking statements that are necessarily subject to various risks and uncertainties. These statements reflect management’s judgment and opinions that are based on current estimates, expectations, and projections about future events and assumptions regarding these events and management’s knowledge of facts as of the date of this report. These forward-looking statements relate to, among other matters, estimated liabilities; ratemaking and regulatory proceedings; capital expenditures; cost savings; load growth; customer rates; estimates and assumptions used in critical accounting estimates, including those relating to insurance receivables, regulatory assets and liabilities, environmental remediation, litigation, third-party claims, the Wildfire Fund, and other liabilities; and the level of future equity or debt issuances, and dividends. These statements are also identified by words such as “assume,” “expect,” “intend,” “forecast,” “plan,” “project,” “believe,” “estimate,” “predict,” “anticipate,” “commit,” “goal,” “target,” “will,” “may,” “should,” “would,” “could,” “potential,” “on track,” and similar expressions. 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 future results to differ materially from those expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements, or from historical results, include, but are not limited to:

  • the timing and outcomes of the Utility’s pending and future ratemaking and regulatory proceedings, including the extent to which PG&E Corporation and the Utility are able to recover their costs through rates as recorded in memorandum accounts or balancing accounts, or as otherwise requested; and the transfer of ownership of the Utility’s assets to municipalities or other public entities, including as a result of the City and County of San Francisco’s valuation petition;

  • the extent to which the Wildfire Fund, the Continuation Account, and the revised prudency standard under AB 1054 effectively mitigate the risk of liability for damages arising from catastrophic wildfires, including whether the Utility maintains an approved WMP and a valid safety certification and whether the Wildfire Fund or the Continuation Account has sufficient remaining funds (which will be reduced as claims are made by California’s other participating electric utility companies);

  • the risks and uncertainties associated with wildfires that have occurred or may occur in the Utility’s service area, including the wildfire that began on July 13, 2021 near the Cresta Dam in the Feather River Canyon in Plumas County, California (the “2021 Dixie fire”), the wildfire that began on September 6, 2022 near Oxbow Reservoir in Placer County, California (the “2022 Mosquito fire”), and any other wildfires for which the causes have yet to be determined; the damage caused by such wildfires; the extent of the Utility’s liability in connection with such wildfires (including the risk that the Utility may be found liable for damages regardless of fault); investigations into such wildfires, including those being conducted by the CPUC; potential liabilities in connection with fines or penalties that could be imposed on the Utility if the CPUC or any other enforcement agency were to bring an enforcement action in respect of any such fire; and the risk that the Utility is not able to recover costs from the Wildfire Fund, the Continuation Account, or other third parties or through rates;

  • the extent to which the Utility’s wildfire mitigation initiatives are effective, including the Utility’s ability to comply with the targets and metrics set forth in its WMP; the effectiveness of its system hardening, including undergrounding;

  • the Utility’s ability to safely, reliably, and efficiently construct, maintain, operate, protect, and decommission its facilities, and provide electricity and natural gas services safely and reliably;

  • significant changes to the electric power and natural gas industries, including technological advancements, electrification, and the transition to a decarbonized economy; the impact of reductions in Utility customer demand for natural gas; the impact of customer demand falling short of the Utility’s forecasts and whether the Utility is successful in addressing the impact of growing distributed and renewable generation resources, increasing demand for electric power due to data centers and electrification of the transportation, buildings, and other sectors of the economy, and the resulting changes in customer demand for its natural gas and electric services;

  • cyber or physical attacks, acts of terrorism, war, and vandalism, on the Utility or its third-party vendors, contractors, or customers (or others with whom they have shared data) which could result in operational disruption; the misappropriation or loss of confidential or proprietary assets, information or data, including customer, employee, financial, or operating system information, or intellectual property; corruption of data; or potential remediation, compliance and other costs, lost revenues, litigation, investigations, or reputational harm;

  • the impact of severe weather events and other natural disasters, including wildfires and other fires, storms, tornadoes, floods, extreme heat events, drought, earthquakes, lightning, tsunamis, rising sea levels, mudslides, pandemics, solar events, electromagnetic events, wind events or other weather-related conditions, climate change, or natural disasters, and other events that can cause unplanned outages, reduce generating output, disrupt the Utility’s service to customers, or damage or disrupt the facilities, operations, or information technology and systems owned by the Utility, its customers, or third parties on which the Utility relies, and the effectiveness of the Utility’s efforts to prevent, mitigate, or respond to such conditions or events; the reparation and other costs that the Utility may incur in connection with such conditions or events; the impact of the adequacy of the Utility’s emergency preparedness; whether the Utility incurs liability to third parties for property damage or personal injury caused by such events; whether the Utility is able to procure replacement power; and whether the Utility is subject to civil, criminal, or regulatory penalties in connection with such events;

  • existing and future regulation and federal, state or local legislation, their implementation, and their interpretation; the cost to comply with such regulation and legislation; and the extent to which the Utility recovers its associated compliance and investment costs and the extent to which such costs are borne by PG&E Corporation, including those regarding:

◦wildfires, including inverse condemnation reform, wildfire self-insurance, the Wildfire Fund, the Continuation Account, and additional wildfire mitigation measures or other reforms targeted at the Utility or its industry;

◦the environment, including the costs incurred to discharge the Utility’s remediation obligations or the costs to comply with standards for greenhouse gas (“GHG”) emissions, renewable energy targets, energy efficiency standards, distributed energy resources, and electric vehicles;

◦the nuclear industry, including operations, seismic design, security, safety, relicensing, the storage of spent nuclear fuel, decommissioning, and cooling water intake, whether DCPP operations are extended beyond 2030, and the Utility’s ability to continue operating DCPP until its planned retirement;

◦the regulation of utilities and their affiliates, including the conditions that apply to PG&E Corporation as the Utility’s holding company;

◦privacy and cybersecurity; and

◦taxes and tax audits;

  • the amounts of fines, penalties, remediation or other obligations resulting from current and future self-reports, investigations or other enforcement actions, agency compliance reports, or notices of violation that could be issued related to the Utility’s compliance with laws, rules, regulations, or orders;

  • whether the Utility can control its operating costs within the authorized levels of spending; whether the Utility can continue implementing the Lean operating system and achieve projected savings; the extent to which the Utility incurs unrecoverable costs that are higher than the forecasts of such costs; the risks and uncertainties associated with inflation (including with respect to raw materials), import tariffs, and trade wars; and changes in cost forecasts or the scope and timing of planned work resulting from changes in customer demand for electricity and natural gas or other reasons;

  • the risks and uncertainties associated with PG&E Corporation’s and the Utility’s substantial indebtedness and the limitations on their operating flexibility in the documents governing that indebtedness, including the extent to which the Utility draws on the DOE loan facility;

  • the risks and uncertainties associated with the resolution of the matters described in Note 10 of the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements under the headings “Wildfire-Related Securities Litigation” and “Indemnification Obligations”;

  • the risks and uncertainties associated with PG&E Corporation’s and the Utility’s other ongoing or future litigation, including the extent to which related costs can be recovered through insurance, rates, or from other third parties;

  • the ultimate amount of unrecoverable environmental costs the Utility incurs associated with the Utility’s natural gas compressor station site located near Hinkley, California and the Utility’s fossil fuel-fired generation sites;

  • the supply and price of electricity, natural gas, and nuclear fuel; the extent to which the Utility can manage and respond to the volatility of energy commodity prices; the ability of the Utility and its counterparties to post or return collateral in connection with price risk management activities; and whether the Utility is able to recover timely its electric generation and energy commodity procurement costs through rates;

  • 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, volatility in such capital markets, and changes in interest rates;

  • the risks and uncertainties associated with high rates for the Utility’s customers, including reduced customer demand and approved amounts in the Utility’s ratemaking or cost recovery proceedings;

  • actions by credit rating agencies to downgrade PG&E Corporation’s or the Utility’s credit ratings; and
