Consolidated Financial Statements.\n\n88\n\nNOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS\n\nNOTE 1: ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION\n\nOrganization and Basis of Presentation\n\nPG&E Corporation is a holding company whose primary operating subsidiary is Pacific Gas and Electric Company, a public utility serving northern and central California.  The Utility generates revenues mainly through the sale and delivery of electricity and natural gas to customers.  The Utility is primarily regulated by the CPUC and the FERC.  In addition, the NRC oversees the licensing, construction, operation, and decommissioning of the Utility’s nuclear generation facilities.\n\nThis is a combined annual report of PG&E Corporation and the Utility.  PG&E Corporation’s Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of PG&E Corporation, the Utility, and other wholly owned and controlled subsidiaries.  The Utility’s Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of the Utility and its wholly owned and controlled subsidiaries.  All intercompany transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.  The Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements apply to both PG&E Corporation and the Utility.  PG&E Corporation and the Utility assess financial performance and allocate resources on a consolidated basis (i.e., the companies operate in one segment).\n\nThe accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in conformity with GAAP and in accordance with the reporting requirements of Form 10-K.\n\nThe preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires the use of estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. Some of the more significant estimates and assumptions relate to the Utility’s regulatory assets and liabilities, wildfire-related liabilities, legal and regulatory contingencies, the Wildfire Fund, environmental remediation liabilities, AROs, wildfire-related receivables, and pension and other post-retirement benefit plan obligations. Management believes that its estimates and assumptions reflected in the Consolidated Financial Statements are appropriate and reasonable. A change in management’s estimates or assumptions could result in an adjustment that would have a material impact on PG&E Corporation’s and the Utility’s financial condition, results of operations, liquidity, and cash flows during the period in which such change occurred.\n\nNOTE 2: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES\n\nRegulation and Regulated Operations\n\nThe Utility follows accounting principles for rate-regulated entities and collects rates from customers to recover “revenue requirements” that have been authorized by the CPUC or the FERC based on the Utility’s cost of providing service.  The Utility’s ability to recover a significant portion of its authorized revenue requirements through rates is generally independent, or “decoupled,” from the volume of the Utility’s electricity and natural gas sales.  The Utility records assets and liabilities that result from the regulated ratemaking process that would not be recorded under GAAP for nonregulated entities.  The Utility capitalizes and records as regulatory assets costs that would otherwise be charged to expense if it is probable that the incurred costs will be recovered through future rates. Regulatory assets are amortized over the future periods in which the costs are recovered. If costs expected to be incurred in the future are currently being recovered through rates, the Utility records those expected future costs as regulatory liabilities. Amounts that are probable of being credited or refunded to customers in the future are also recorded as regulatory liabilities.\n\nThe Utility also records a regulatory balancing account asset or liability for differences between customer billings and authorized revenue requirements that are probable of recovery or refund.  In addition, the Utility records a regulatory balancing account asset or liability for differences between incurred costs and customer billings or authorized revenue meant to recover those costs, to the extent that these differences are probable of recovery or refund.  These differences have no impact on net income.  See “Revenue Recognition” below.\n\nManagement continues to believe the use of regulatory accounting is applicable and that all regulatory assets and liabilities are recoverable or refundable.  To the extent that portions of the Utility’s operations cease to be subject to cost-of-service rate regulation, or recovery is no longer probable as a result of changes in regulation or other reasons, the related regulatory assets and liabilities are written off.\n\n89\n\nSegment Reporting\n\nPG&E Corporation and the Utility assess financial performance and allocate resources on a consolidated basis and operate as one reportable segment. PG&E Corporation’s and the Utility’s chief operating decision maker is the Chief Executive Officer of PG&E Corporation.\n\nNet income (loss) is the measure that the chief operating decision maker uses to assess performance and decide how to allocate resources and that is most consistent with GAAP principles. Net income is reported on PG&E Corporation’s Consolidated Statements of Income. Because PG&E Corporation and the Utility are a single reportable segment, all segment financial information can be found in PG&E Corporation’s Consolidated Financial Statements.\n\nPG&E Corporation and the Utility do not have any significant segment expenses because the chief operating decision maker is not regularly provided with information that is considered to be significant under ASC 280, Segment Reporting. Except for publicly available information, the information regularly provided to the chief operating decision maker consists of financial reports with metrics that combine year-to-date actual results with forecasts of the remainder of the year in order to provide a comprehensive view of the entire year. These metrics do not separate expenses already incurred from forecast information.\n\nCash, Cash Equivalents, Restricted Cash, and Restricted Cash Equivalents\n\nCash and cash equivalents consist of cash and short-term, highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less.  Cash equivalents are stated at fair value. As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Utility also held $258 million and $272 million of Restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents, respectively, that primarily consist of AB 1054 and SB 901 fixed recovery charge collections that are to be used to service the associated bonds.\n\nRevenue Recognition\n\nRevenue from Contracts with Customers\n\nThe Utility recognizes revenues when electricity and natural gas services are delivered.  The Utility records unbilled revenues for the estimated amount of energy delivered to customers but not yet billed at the end of the period.  Unbilled revenues are included in Accounts receivable on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.  Rates charged to customers are based on CPUC and FERC authorized revenue requirements. Revenues can vary significantly from period to period because of seasonality, weather, and customer usage patterns.\n\nRegulatory Balancing Account Revenue\n\nThe CPUC authorizes most of the Utility’s revenues in the Utility’s GRCs, which occur every four years. CPUC and FERC rates decouple authorized revenue from the volume of electricity and natural gas sales, so the Utility receives revenue equal to the amounts authorized by the relevant regulatory agencies. As a result, the volume of electricity and natural gas sold does not have a direct impact on PG&E Corporation’s and the Utility’s financial results. The Utility recognizes revenues that have been authorized for rate recovery, are objectively determinable and probable of recovery, and are expected to be collected within 24 months.  Generally, electric and natural gas operating revenue is recognized ratably over the year. The Utility records a balancing account asset or liability for differences between customer billings and authorized revenue requirements that are probable of recovery or refund.\n\nThe Utility also collects additional revenue requirements to recover costs that the CPUC has authorized the Utility to pass through to customers, including costs to purchase electricity and natural gas, and to fund public purpose, demand response, and customer energy efficiency programs.  In general, the revenue recognition criteria for pass-through costs billed to customers are met at the time the costs are incurred. The Utility records a regulatory balancing account asset or liability for differences between incurred costs and customer billings or authorized revenue meant to recover those costs, to the extent that these differences are probable of recovery or refund. As a result, these differences have no impact on net income.\n\n90\n\nThe following table presents the Utility’s revenues disaggregated by type of customer:\n\nYear Ended December 31,\n\n(in millions)202520242023\n\nElectric\n\nRevenue from contracts with customers\n\n   Residential$6,976 $7,504 $6,041 \n\n   Commercial7,022 7,201 5,643 \n\n   Industrial1,929 2,065 1,784 \n\n   Agricultural1,825 1,815 1,413 \n\n   Public street and highway lighting105 103 83 \n\n   Other, net (1)\n72 (47)136 \n\n      Total revenue from contracts with customers - electric17,929 18,641 15,100 \n\nRegulatory balancing accounts (2)\n389 (830)2,324 \n\nTotal electric operating revenue$18,318 $17,811 $17,424 \n\nNatural gas\n\nRevenue from contracts with customers\n\n   Residential$3,651 $3,089 $3,686 \n\n   Commercial1,074 984 1,052 \n\n   Transportation service only1,937 1,815 1,603 \n\n   Other, net (1)\n101 159 (145)\n\n      Total revenue from contracts with customers - gas6,763 6,047 6,196 \n\nRegulatory balancing accounts (2)\n(146)561 808 \n\nTotal natural gas operating revenue6,617 6,608 7,004 \n\nTotal operating revenues$24,935 $24,419 $24,428 \n\n(1) This activity is primarily related to the change in unbilled revenue and amounts subject to refund, partially offset by other miscellaneous revenue items.\n\n(2) These amounts represent alternative revenues authorized to be billed or refunded to customers.\n\nFinancial Assets Measured at Amortized Cost – Credit Losses\n\nPG&E Corporation and the Utility use the current expected credit loss model to estimate the expected lifetime credit loss on financial assets measured at amortized cost. PG&E Corporation and the Utility evaluate credit risk in their portfolio of financial assets quarterly. As of December 31, 2025, PG&E Corporation and the Utility have identified the following significant categories of financial assets.\n\nTrade Receivables\n\nTrade receivables are represented by customer accounts. PG&E Corporation and the Utility record an allowance for doubtful accounts to recognize an estimate of expected lifetime credit losses. The allowance is determined on a collective basis based on the historical amounts written-off and an assessment of customer collectability. Furthermore, economic conditions are evaluated as part of the estimate of expected lifetime credit losses using an analysis of regional unemployment rates.\n\nExpected credit losses of $402 million, $341 million, and $636 million were recorded in Operating and maintenance expense on the Consolidated Statements of Income for credit losses associated with trade and other receivables during the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024, and 2023, respectively. The portion of expected credit losses that are deemed probable of recovery are deferred to the RUBA and a FERC regulatory asset account. As of December 31, 2025, the RUBA current balancing accounts and FERC noncurrent regulatory asset balances were $278 million and $92 million, respectively. As of December 31, 2024, the RUBA current balancing accounts and FERC noncurrent regulatory asset balances were $260 million and $85 million, respectively.\n\n91\n\nOther Receivables and Available-For-Sale Debt Securities\n\nInsurance receivables are related to the liability insurance policies PG&E Corporation and the Utility carry. Insurance receivable risk is related to each insurance carrier’s risk of defaulting on their individual policies. Wildfire Fund receivables are the funds available from the statewide fund established under AB 1054 for payment of eligible claims related to the 2021 Dixie fire that exceed $1.0 billion. For more information, see Note 14 below. Wildfire Fund receivables risk is related to the Wildfire Fund’s durability, which is a measurement of its claim-paying capacity. For certain investments held by PG&E Corporation and the Utility, the companies are required to determine if the fair value is below the amortized cost basis for their available-for-sale debt securities (i.e., impairment). If such an impairment exists and does not otherwise result in a write-down, then PG&E Corporation and the Utility must determine whether a portion of the impairment is a result of expected credit loss.\n\nAs of December 31, 2025, expected credit losses for insurance receivables, Wildfire Fund receivables, and available-for-sale debt securities were immaterial.\n\nEmission Allowances\n\nThe Utility purchases GHG emission allowances to satisfy its compliance obligations. Associated costs are recorded as inventory and included in Current assets – Other and Other noncurrent assets – Other on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Costs are carried at weighted-average and are recoverable through rates.\n\nInventories\n\nInventories are carried at weighted-average cost and include gas stored underground, fuel oil, materials, and supplies.  Natural gas stored underground is recorded to inventory when injected and then expensed as the gas is withdrawn for distribution to customers or for use as fuel for electric generation.  Materials and supplies are recorded to inventory when purchased and expensed or capitalized to plant, as appropriate, when consumed or installed.\n\nProperty, Plant, and Equipment\n\nProperty, plant, and equipment are reported at the lower of their historical cost less accumulated depreciation or fair value.  Historical costs include labor and materials, construction overhead, and allowance for funds used during construction (“AFUDC”). See “Allowance for Funds Used During Construction” below.  The Utility’s estimated service lives of its property, plant, and equipment were as follows:\n\n Estimated ServiceBalance at December 31,\n\n(in millions, except estimated service lives)Lives (years)20252024\n\nElectricity generating facilities (1)\n\n1 to 75\n$11,986 $11,420 \n\nElectricity distribution facilities\n5 to 70\n57,174 49,821 \n\nElectricity transmission facilities\n5 to 80\n20,959 18,481 \n\nNatural gas distribution facilities\n15 to 60\n18,240 17,213 \n\nNatural gas transmission and storage facilities\n15 to 68\n11,315 11,117 \n\nGeneral plant and other\n5 to 50\n9,315 10,210 \n\nFinancing lease2 814 \n\nConstruction work in progress4,626 4,458 \n\nTotal property, plant, and equipment133,617 123,534 \n\nAccumulated depreciation(37,269)(35,304)\n\nNet property, plant, and equipment (2)\n$96,348 $88,230 \n\n(1) Balance includes nuclear fuel inventories, which are stated at weighted-average cost. See Note 15 below. Nuclear generating facilities have been fully depreciated by December 31, 2025.\n\n(2) Includes $2.9 billion of fire risk mitigation-related property, plant, and equipment securitized in accordance with AB 1054.\n\n92\n\nThe Utility depreciates property, plant, and equipment using the composite, or group, method of depreciation, in which a single depreciation rate is applied to the gross investment balance in a particular class of property, with the exception of its securitized property, plant and equipment, which is depreciated over the life of the bond and in a pattern consistent with principal payments.  This method approximates the straight-line method of depreciation over the useful lives of property, plant, and equipment.  The Utility’s composite depreciation rates were 3.77% in 2025 and 3.61% in 2024. The useful lives of the Utility’s property, plant, and equipment are authorized by the CPUC and the FERC, and the depreciation expense is recovered through rates charged to customers.  Depreciation expense includes a component for the original cost of assets and a component for estimated cost of future removal, net of any salvage value at retirement.  Upon retirement, the original cost of the retired asset is charged against accumulated depreciation.  The cost of repairs and maintenance, including planned major maintenance activities and minor replacements of property, is charged to Operating and maintenance expense as incurred.\n\nAllowance for Funds Used During Construction\n\nAFUDC represents the estimated cost of debt (i.e., interest) and equity funds used to finance regulated plant additions before they go into service and is capitalized as part of the cost of construction.  AFUDC is recoverable through rates over the life of the related property once the property is placed in service.  AFUDC related to the cost of debt is recorded as a reduction to interest expense.  AFUDC related to the cost of equity is recorded in other income.  The Utility recorded AFUDC related to debt and equity, respectively, of $88 million and $219 million during 2025, $111 million and $184 million during 2024, and $82 million and $179 million during 2023.\n\nAsset Retirement Obligations\n\nThe following table summarizes the changes in ARO during 2025 and 2024, including nuclear decommissioning obligations:\n\n(in millions)20252024\n\nARO liability at beginning of year$5,444 $5,512 \n\nRevision in estimated cash flows(274)(290)\n\nAccretion290 269 \n\nLiabilities settled(21)(47)\n\nARO liability at end of year$5,439 $5,444 \n\nPG&E Corporation and the Utility account for an ARO at fair value in the period during which the legal obligation is incurred if a reasonable estimate of fair value and its settlement date can be made. At the time of recording an ARO, the associated asset retirement costs are capitalized as part of the carrying amount of the related long-lived asset. The Utility recognizes a regulatory asset or liability for the timing differences between the recognition of expenses and costs recovered through the ratemaking process. For more information, see Note 3 below.\n\nThe Utility has not recorded a liability related to certain AROs for assets that are expected to operate in perpetuity.  As the Utility cannot estimate a settlement date or range of potential settlement dates for these assets, reasonable estimates of fair value cannot be made. As such, ARO liabilities are not recorded for retirement activities associated with substations, certain hydroelectric facilities; removal of lead-based paint in some facilities and certain communications equipment from leased property; removal of hazardous materials in some gas transmission assets and restoration of land to the conditions under certain agreements.\n\nThe total nuclear decommissioning obligation was $4.2 billion as of December 31, 2025 and $4.0 billion as of December 31, 2024 based on the cost study performed as part of the 2021 NDCTP. The Utility’s ARO assumes that DCPP operates until 2030. The ARO could be materially impacted if the Utility does not receive the required federal and state licenses, permits, and approvals.\n\nDisallowance of Plant Costs\n\nPG&E Corporation and the Utility recognizes a loss when it is both probable that costs incurred or projected to be incurred for recently completed plant will not be recoverable through rates charged to customers and the amount of disallowance can be reasonably estimated.\n\n93\n\nNuclear Decommissioning Trusts\n\nThe Utility’s nuclear generation facilities consist of two units at DCPP and the Humboldt Bay independent spent fuel storage installation.  Nuclear decommissioning requires the safe removal of a nuclear generation facility from service and the reduction of residual radioactivity to a level that permits termination of the NRC license and release of the property for unrestricted use.  The Utility’s nuclear decommissioning costs are recovered through rates and are held in trusts until authorized for release by the CPUC.\n\nThe cost of debt and equity securities sold by the trust is determined by specific identification. Gains on the nuclear decommissioning trust investments are refundable to customers through rates, and losses are recoverable through rates. Therefore, trust earnings are deferred and included in the regulatory liability for recoveries in excess of the ARO.  There is no impact on the Utility’s earnings or accumulated other comprehensive income.\n\nGovernment Assistance\n\nThe Utility participated in various government assistance programs during the year ended December 31, 2025, 2024, and 2023. The Utility accounts for government grants in accordance with ASU 2025-10, Government Grants (Topic 832).\n\nAssembly Bill 180\n\nOn June 30, 2022, AB 180 became law. AB 180 authorized the DWR to use up to $75 million to support contracts with the owners of electric generating facilities pending retirement, such as DCPP, to fund, reimburse or compensate the owner for any costs, expenses or financial commitments incurred to retain the future availability of such generating facilities pending further legislation. The resulting agreement between DWR and the Utility was effective beginning October 1, 2022, and will continue until full disbursement of funds or termination per the agreement. In the event of a termination, the Utility will take reasonable steps to end activities associated with this agreement and will return to DWR any unused funds. During the year ended December 31, 2025, the Consolidated Statements of Income reflected $13 million, as a deduction to Cost of electricity for income related to government grants for incurred eligible costs to purchase nuclear fuel. During the year ended December 31, 2024, the amount recorded as a reduction to Cost of electricity for income related to government grants for incurred eligible costs to purchase nuclear fuel was immaterial to the Consolidated Statements of Income. During the year ended December 31, 2023, the Consolidated Statements of Income reflected $56 million, as a deduction to Cost of electricity for income related to government grants for incurred eligible costs to purchase nuclear fuel.\n\nDWR Loan Agreement\n\nOn October 18, 2022, the DWR and the Utility entered into a $1.4 billion loan agreement to support the extension of DCPP, with up to $1.1 billion potentially repaid by DOE funds. Under the agreement, the Utility received monthly performance-based disbursements of $7 per MWh generated, capped at $300 million. The final proceeds were received in 2024, and no further disbursements will be made.\n\nThe Utility initially accounted for all disbursements from the DWR loan agreement pursuant to ASC 470, Debt. When the Utility has reasonable assurance that the DWR will forgive loan disbursements (such as when the Utility earns a performance-based disbursement or when funds expected to be received from the DOE are less than incurred eligible costs), the Utility recognizes those forgiven loans as income related to government grants. The Utility records the income related to government grants as a deduction to expense in the same period(s) that eligible costs are incurred.\n\n94\n\nThe following table summarizes where DWR loan activity is presented in PG&E Corporation’s and the Utility’s Consolidated Financial Statements:\n\n(in millions)\n202520242023\n\nLong-term debt:\n\nBeginning Balance - DWR loan outstanding\n$886 $98 $312 \n\nProceeds received\n— 980 — \n\nOperating Expenses:\n\nOperating and maintenance expense - Performance-based disbursements\n(21)(117)(124)\n\nOperating and maintenance expense - Loan forgiveness and other adjustments\n(127)(75)(90)\n\nLong-term debt:\n\nEnding Balance - DWR loan outstanding$738 $886 $98 \n\nU.S. DOE’s Civil Nuclear Credit Program\n\nOn January 11, 2024, the Utility and the DOE entered into a Credit Award and Payment Agreement for up to $1.1 billion related to DCPP as part of the DOE’s Civil Nuclear Credit Program. The Utility uses these funds to repay its loans outstanding under the DWR Loan Agreement (see “DWR Loan Agreement” above). Final award amounts are determined following completion of each year of the award period, and amounts awarded over a four-year award period ending in 2026 will be based on a number of factors, including actual costs incurred to extend the DCPP operations. When there is reasonable assurance that the Utility will receive funding and comply with the conditions of the DOE’s Civil Nuclear Credit Program, the Utility recognizes such funding as income and records a receivable related to government grants. During the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024, and 2023, the Consolidated Statements of Income reflected $65 million, $265 million, and $115 million, respectively, as a deduction to Operating and maintenance expense, for income related to government grants for incurred eligible costs to support the extension of DCPP. During the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024, and 2023, the Consolidated Statements of Income reflected $69 million, $138 million, and $76 million, respectively, as deductions to Cost of electricity, for income related to government grants for incurred fuel costs to support the extension of DCPP.\n\nVariable Interest Entities\n\nA VIE is an entity that does not have sufficient equity at risk to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support from other parties, or whose equity investors lack any characteristics of a controlling financial interest. An enterprise that has a controlling financial interest in a VIE is a primary beneficiary and is required to consolidate the VIE.\n\nConsolidated VIEs\n\nReceivables Securitization Program\n\nThe SPV was created in connection with the Receivables Securitization Program and is a bankruptcy remote, limited liability company wholly owned by the Utility, and its assets are not available to creditors of PG&E Corporation or the Utility. Pursuant to the Receivables Securitization Program, the Utility sells certain of its receivables and certain related rights to payment and obligations of the Utility with respect to such receivables, and certain other related rights to the SPV, which, in turn, obtains loans secured by the receivables from financial institutions. The pledged receivables and the corresponding debt are included in Accounts receivable, Accrued unbilled revenue, Other noncurrent assets, and Long-term debt on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.\n\n95\n\nThe SPV is considered a VIE because its equity capitalization is insufficient to support its activities. The most significant activities that impact the economic performance of the SPV are decisions made to manage receivables. The Utility is considered the primary beneficiary and consolidates the SPV as it makes these decisions. No additional financial support was provided to the SPV during the year ended December 31, 2025 or is expected to be provided in the future that was not previously contractually required. As of December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the SPV had net accounts receivable of $3.2 billion, and outstanding borrowings of $1.8 billion and $0 million, respectively, under the Receivables Securitization Program. For more information, see Note 4 below.\n\nAB 1054 Securitization\n\nPG&E Recovery Funding LLC is a bankruptcy remote, limited liability company wholly owned by the Utility, and its assets are not available to creditors of PG&E Corporation or the Utility. Pursuant to the financing orders for the AB 1054 securitization transactions, the Utility sold its right to receive revenues from non-bypassable fixed recovery charges (“Recovery Property”) to PG&E Recovery Funding LLC, which, in turn, issued three separate series of recovery bonds secured by separate Recovery Property.\n\nPG&E Recovery Funding LLC is considered a VIE because its equity capitalization is insufficient to support its operations. The most significant activities that impact the economic performance of PG&E Recovery Funding LLC are decisions made by the servicer of the Recovery Property. The Utility is considered the primary beneficiary and consolidates PG&E Recovery Funding LLC as it acts in this role as servicer. No additional financial support was provided to PG&E Recovery Funding LLC during the year ended December 31, 2025 or is expected to be provided in the future that was not previously contractually required. Between 2021 and 2024, PG&E Recovery Funding LLC issued an aggregate of $3.26 billion of senior secured recovery bonds. As of December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, PG&E Recovery Funding LLC had outstanding borrowings of $3.1 billion and $3.2 billion, respectively, included in Long-term debt and Long-term debt, classified as current on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.\n\nSB 901 Securitization\n\nPG&E Wildfire Recovery Funding LLC is a bankruptcy remote, limited liability company wholly owned by the Utility, and its assets are not available to creditors of PG&E Corporation or the Utility. Pursuant to the financing order for the first and second SB 901 securitization transactions, the Utility sold its right to receive revenues from non-bypassable fixed recovery charges (“SB 901 Recovery Property”) to PG&E Wildfire Recovery Funding LLC, which, in turn, issued two separate series of recovery bonds secured by separate SB 901 Recovery Property.\n\nPG&E Wildfire Recovery Funding LLC is considered a VIE because its equity capitalization is insufficient to support its operations. The most significant activities that impact the economic performance of PG&E Wildfire Recovery Funding LLC are decisions made by the servicer of the SB 901 Recovery Property. The Utility is considered the primary beneficiary and consolidates PG&E Wildfire Recovery Funding LLC as it acts in this role as servicer. No additional financial support was provided to PG&E Wildfire Recovery Funding LLC during the year ended December 31, 2025 or is expected to be provided in the future that was not previously contractually required. In 2022, PG&E Wildfire Recovery Funding LLC issued an aggregate $7.5 billion of senior secured recovery bonds. As of December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, PG&E Wildfire Recovery Funding LLC had outstanding borrowings of $7.1 billion and $7.2 billion, respectively, included in Long-term debt and Long-term debt, classified as current on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. For more information, see Note 5 below.\n\nNon-Consolidated VIEs\n\nPower Purchase Agreements\n\nSome of the counterparties to the Utility’s power purchase agreements are considered VIEs.  Each of these VIEs was designed to own a power plant that would generate electricity for sale to the Utility.  To determine whether the Utility was the primary beneficiary of any of these VIEs as of December 31, 2025, the Utility assessed whether it absorbs any of the VIE’s expected losses or receives any portion of the VIE’s expected residual returns under the terms of the power purchase agreement, analyzed the variability in the VIE’s gross margin, and considered whether it had any decision-making rights associated with the activities that are most significant to the VIE’s performance, such as dispatch rights or operating and maintenance activities. The Utility’s financial obligation is limited to the amount the Utility pays for delivered electricity and capacity. The Utility did not have any decision-making rights associated with any of the activities that are most significant to the economic performance of any of these VIEs. Since the Utility was not the primary beneficiary of any of these VIEs as of December 31, 2025, it did not consolidate any of them.\n\n96\n\nContributions to the Wildfire Fund and the Continuation Account\n\nAB 1054 did not specify a period of coverage for the Wildfire Fund, and so the accounting treatment is subject to significant judgments and estimates. PG&E Corporation and the Utility account for shareholder contributions to the Wildfire Fund by recognizing an asset, amortizing the asset ratably over the life of the fund based on an estimated period of coverage, and accelerating amortization of the asset when it is determined probable and estimable that the Wildfire Fund longevity has declined, as further described below.\n\nIn estimating the life of the fund, PG&E Corporation and the Utility use a dataset of historical, publicly available fire-loss data caused by electrical equipment to create Monte Carlo simulations of expected loss. PG&E Corporation’s and the Utility’s initial estimated life of the fund was 15 years. In 2024, a re-evaluation resulted in the estimated life increasing from 15 to 20 years.\n\nThe number of years of historic fire-loss data, the estimated costs to settle wildfire claims for participating electric utilities (including the Utility), the estimated amount of Wildfire Fund claim payments, and the effectiveness of wildfire mitigation efforts by the California electric utility companies are significant assumptions used to estimate the life of the fund. Other assumptions include the CPUC’s determinations of whether costs were just and reasonable in cases of electric utility-caused wildfires and amounts required to be reimbursed to the Wildfire Fund, the impacts of climate change, the FERC-allocable portion of loss recovery, and the future transmission and distribution equity rate base growth of participating electric utilities. The estimated life of the fund has a high degree of uncertainty for many of these assumptions, and so subsequent changes could materially impact the remaining estimated life of the fund.\n\nPG&E Corporation and the Utility have an established process to re-evaluate the estimated life of the fund whenever they obtain new significant fire-loss data. PG&E Corporation and the Utility consider significant fire-loss data to include Cal Fire’s annual release of the prior year’s fire-loss data, internally developed data about wildfires and wildfire conditions in their own service area, and other participating electric utilities’ public disclosures of probable and estimable wildfire-related losses in their service area. PG&E Corporation and the Utility are not able to independently verify other utilities’ estimates. During each re-evaluation, PG&E Corporation and the Utility update their assumptions and the dataset of historical fire-losses for wildfires caused by electrical equipment, as applicable. Based upon the outcome of the newly run Monte Carlo simulations, PG&E Corporation and the Utility may determine to increase or decrease, as applicable, the estimated life of the fund. PG&E Corporation and the Utility apply adjustments to the estimated life of the fund on a prospective basis.\n\nIn addition to estimating the life of the fund, PG&E Corporation and the Utility also assess the Wildfire Fund asset for accelerated amortization when they record or increase a Wildfire Fund receivable or when reliable information becomes publicly available, including when another participating electric utility discloses a Wildfire Fund receivable.\n\nAs of December 31, 2025, PG&E Corporation and the Utility recorded $193 million in Other current liabilities, $377 million in Other noncurrent liabilities, $297 million in Current assets - Wildfire Fund asset, and $3.7 billion in Noncurrent assets - Wildfire Fund asset in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. During the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Utility recorded amortization and accretion expense of $352 million and $383 million, respectively. The amortization of the asset, accretion of the liability, and applicable acceleration of the amortization of the asset are reflected in Wildfire Fund expense in the Consolidated Statements of Income.\n\nPG&E Corporation and the Utility expect to begin accounting for the Continuation Account if the Wildfire Fund administrator determines that the Continuation Account is necessary and the CPUC approves the extension of non-bypassable charges to customers.\n\nFor more information, see “Wildfire Fund Recoveries under AB 1054 and SB 254” in Note 14 below.\n\nOakland Headquarters Purchase\n\nOn June 3, 2025, the Utility completed the purchase of the legal parcel that contains the Oakland General Office. The purchase price was $906 million, of which the Utility had prepaid a total of $400 million. At closing, the Utility assumed a $172 million noncurrent liability for a property assessment carried by the property and paid an additional $349 million, which was adjusted for closing costs. The cash payment is included within the Capital expenditures line item in PG&E Corporation’s and Utility’s Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows, and the property assessment and prepayments are included in Supplemental disclosures of noncash investing and financing activities.\n\n97\n\nOther Accounting Policies\n\nFor other accounting policies impacting PG&E Corporation’s and the Utility’s Consolidated Financial Statements, see “Income Taxes” in Note 9, “Derivatives” in Note 10, “Fair Value Measurements” in Note 11, “Wildfire-Related Contingencies” in Note 14, and “Other Contingencies and Commitments” in Note 15 below.\n\nReporting of Amounts Reclassified Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income\n\nThe changes, net of income tax, in PG&E Corporation’s Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) for the year ended December 31, 2025 consisted of the following:\n\n(in millions, net of income tax)Pension\nBenefitsOther\nBenefits\nAvailable-for-Sale Securities(2)\nTotal\n\nBeginning balance$(35)$18 $3 $(14)\n\nOther comprehensive income before reclassifications:\n\nUnrealized loss on investments (net of taxes of $0, $0 and $2, respectively)\n— — 5 5 \n\nUnrecognized net actuarial gain (loss) (net of taxes of $84, $25 and $0, respectively)\n215 (64)— 151 \n\nRegulatory account transfer (net of taxes of $89, $25 and $0, respectively)\n(228)64 — (164)\n\nAmounts reclassified from other comprehensive income:\n\nAmortization of prior service cost (credit) (net of taxes of $1, $1 and $0, respectively) (1)\n(2)2 — — \n\nAmortization of net actuarial (gain) loss (net of taxes of $1, $6 and $0, respectively) (1)\n1 (15)— (14)\n\nRegulatory account transfer (net of taxes of $1, $5 and $0, respectively) (1)\n2 14 — 16 \n\nNet current period other comprehensive income(12)1 5 (6)\n\nEnding balance$(47)$19 $8 $(20)\n\n(1) These components are included in the computation of net periodic pension and other postretirement benefit costs.  See Note 12 below for additional details.\n\n(2) Includes amounts related to the customer credit trust and self-insurance.\n\n98\n\nThe changes, net of income tax, in PG&E Corporation’s Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) for the year ended December 31, 2024 consisted of the following:\n\n(in millions, net of income tax)Pension\nBenefitsOther\nBenefits\nAvailable-for-Sale Securities(2)\nTotal\n\nBeginning balance$(28)$18 $2 $(8)\n\nOther comprehensive income before reclassifications:\n\nUnrealized gain on investments (net of taxes of $0, $0 and $0, respectively)\n— — 1 1 \n\nUnrecognized net actuarial gain (loss) (net of taxes of $104, $11 and $0, respectively)\n(268)29 — (239)\n\nRegulatory account transfer (net of taxes of $101, $11 and $0, respectively)\n260 (29)— 231 \n\nAmounts reclassified from other comprehensive income:\n\nAmortization of prior service cost (credit) (net of taxes of $1, $1 and $0, respectively) (1)\n(2)2 — — \n\nAmortization of net actuarial (gain) loss (net of taxes of $0, $6 and $0, respectively)(1)\n1 (16)— (15)\n\nRegulatory account transfer (net of taxes of $1, $5 and $0, respectively) (1)\n2 14 — 16 \n\nNet current period other comprehensive income (loss)(7)— 1 (6)\n\nEnding balance$(35)$18 $3 $(14)\n\n(1) These components are included in the computation of net periodic pension and other postretirement benefit costs.  See Note 12 below for additional details.\n\n(2) Includes amounts related to the customer credit trust and wildfire self-insurance.\n\nRecognition of Lease Assets and Liabilities\n\nA lease exists when an arrangement allows the lessee to control the use of an identified asset for a stated period in exchange for payments. This determination is made at inception of the arrangement. All leases must be recognized as a ROU asset and a lease liability on the balance sheet of the lessee. The ROU asset reflects the lessee’s right to use the underlying asset for the lease term, and the lease liability reflects the obligation to make the lease payments. PG&E Corporation and the Utility have elected not to separate lease and non-lease components.\n\nThe Utility estimates the ROU assets and lease liabilities at net present value using its incremental secured borrowing rates unless it can ascertain an implicit discount rate from the leasing arrangement. The incremental secured borrowing rate is based on observed market data and other information available at the lease commencement date. The ROU assets and lease liabilities only include the fixed lease payments for arrangements with terms greater than 12 months. These amounts are presented within the supplemental disclosures of noncash activities on the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows. Renewal and termination options only impact the lease term if it is reasonably certain that they will be exercised. PG&E Corporation recognizes lease expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term. The Utility recognizes lease expense as paid in conformity with ratemaking.\n\nFinancing Leases\n\nFinancing leases are included in financing lease ROU assets and current and noncurrent financing lease liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. For the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, the Utility made total fixed cash payments of $26 million, $315 million, and $142 million, respectively, for financing leases, which were included in the measurement of financing lease liabilities and are presented within financing activities on the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows. Any variable lease payments for financing leases are included in operating activities on the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows. The majority of the Utility’s financing lease ROU assets and lease liabilities related to the lease of the Oakland General Office, which the Utility purchased on June 3, 2025. See “Oakland Headquarters Purchase” above.\n\nAt December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Utility’s financing leases had a weighted average remaining lease term of 4.1 years and 0.5 years and a weighted average discount rate of 4.6% and 6.2%, respectively.\n\n99\n\nThe following table shows the lease cost recognized for the fixed and variable component of the Utility’s lease obligations:\n\nYear Ended December 31,\n\n(in millions)202520242023\n\nFinancing lease fixed cost:\n\nAmortization of ROU assets$583 $274 $115 \n\nInterest on lease liabilities16 42 27 \n\nFinancing lease variable cost(1)9 3 \n\nTotal financing lease costs$598 $325 $145 \n\nAs of December 31, 2025, the Utility’s future expected financing lease payments are not material.\n\nOperating Leases\n\nOperating leases are included in operating lease ROU assets and current and noncurrent Operating lease liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. For the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024, and 2023, the Utility made total cash payments, including fixed and variable, of $1.6 billion, $1.6 billion, and $1.9 billion, respectively, for operating leases which are presented within operating activities on the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows.\n\nThe majority of the Utility’s operating lease ROU assets and lease liabilities relate to various power purchase agreements. These power purchase agreements primarily consist of generation plants leased to meet customer demand plus applicable reserve margins. Operating lease variable costs include amounts from renewable energy power purchase agreements where payments are based on certain contingent external factors such as wind, hydro, solar, biogas, and biomass power generation. See “Third-Party Power Purchase Agreements” in Note 15 below.\n\nAt December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Utility’s operating leases had a weighted average remaining lease term of 7.1 years and 7.5 years and a weighted average discount rate of 6.6% and 6.5%, respectively.\n\nThe following table shows the lease cost recognized for the fixed and variable component of the Utility’s lease obligations:\n\nYear Ended December 31,\n\n(in millions)202520242023\n\nOperating lease fixed cost$115 $116 $269 \n\nOperating lease variable cost1,487 1,524 1,632 \n\nTotal operating lease costs$1,602 $1,640 $1,901 \n\nAt December 31, 2025, the Utility’s future expected operating lease payments were as follows:\n\n(in millions)December 31, 2025\n\n2026$115 \n\n2027112 \n\n202898 \n\n202964 \n\n203034 \n\nThereafter165 \n\nTotal lease payments588 \n\nLess imputed interest(143)\n\nTotal$445 \n\n100\n\nRecently Adopted Accounting Standards\n\nIncome Taxes\n\nIn December 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, which amended the existing guidance to enhance the transparency and decision usefulness of income tax disclosures. PG&E Corporation and the Utility have applied enhanced disclosure requirements, including, but not limited to, those with respect to PG&E Corporation and the Utility’s income tax rate reconciliation and income taxes paid. This ASU became effective for PG&E Corporation and the Utility on January 1, 2025 and PG&E Corporation and the Utility have applied the enhanced disclosure requirements of ASU 2023-09 on a retrospective basis.\n\nDerivatives and Hedging and Revenue from Contracts with Customers\n\nIn September 2025, the FASB issued ASU No. 2025-07, Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815) and Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), which amended the existing guidance to (a) reduce the cost and complexity of evaluating whether contracts with features based on the operations or activities of one of the parties to the contract are derivatives, (b) better portray the economics of those contracts in the financial statements, and (c) reduce diversity in practice resulting from the broad application of the current guidance and changing business environment. The amendments also are expected to reduce diversity in practice by clarifying the applicability of Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, to share-based noncash consideration from a customer for the transfer of goods or services. PG&E Corporation and the Utility early adopted the ASU as of December 31, 2025. The adoption of this ASU did not have a significant impact on PG&E Corporation and the Utility’s Consolidated Financial Statements and related disclosures.\n\nAccounting Standards Issued But Not Yet Adopted\n\nDisaggregation of Income Statement Expenses\n\nIn November 2024, the FASB issued ASU No. 2024-03, Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses, which amended the existing guidance to require disclosure, in the notes to the financial statements, of specified information about certain costs and expenses. This ASU will become effective for PG&E Corporation and the Utility for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted. PG&E Corporation and the Utility are currently evaluating the impact the guidance will have on their Consolidated Financial Statements and related disclosures.\n\nInduced Conversions of Convertible Debt Instruments\n\nIn November 2024, the FASB issued ASU No. 2024-04, Debt—Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20): Induced Conversions of Convertible Debt Instruments, which amended the existing guidance by clarifying the requirements for determining whether certain settlements of convertible debt instruments should be accounted for as induced conversions. Under this ASU, to account for a settlement of a convertible debt instrument as an induced conversion, an inducement offer is required to provide the debt holder with, at a minimum, the consideration (in form and amount) issuable under the conversion privileges provided in the terms of the instrument. An entity should assess whether this criterion is satisfied as of the date the inducement offer is accepted by the holder. This ASU will become effective for PG&E Corporation and the Utility for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2025, and interim reporting periods within those annual reporting periods, with early adoption permitted. PG&E Corporation and the Utility are currently evaluating the impact the guidance will have on their Consolidated Financial Statements and related disclosures.\n\n101\n\nIntangibles – Goodwill and Other – Internal Use Software\n\nIn September 2025, the FASB issued ASU No. 2025-06, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other— Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40), which amended the existing guidance to modernize the accounting for software costs that are accounted for under Subtopic 350-40, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other—Internal-Use Software. The amendments in this ASU remove all references to prescriptive and sequential software development stages throughout Subtopic 350-40. Therefore, an entity is required to start capitalizing software costs when both of the following occur: (1) management has authorized and committed to funding the software project, and (2) it is probable that the project will be completed, and the software will be used to perform the function. This ASU will become effective for PG&E Corporation and the Utility for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027, and interim reporting periods within those annual reporting periods, with early adoption permitted. PG&E Corporation and the Utility are currently evaluating the impact the guidance will have on their Consolidated Financial Statements and related disclosures.\n\nNOTE 3: REGULATORY ASSETS, LIABILITIES, AND BALANCING ACCOUNTS\n\nRegulatory Assets\n\nIn general, regulatory assets represent the cumulative differences between amounts recognized for ratemaking purposes and expense or accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) recognized in accordance with GAAP. The Utility does not earn a return on regulatory assets if the related costs do not accrue interest.\n\nNoncurrent regulatory assets are comprised of the following:\n\n Balance at December 31,Recovery\nPeriod\n\n(in millions)20252024\n\nPension benefits (1)\n$400 $673 Indefinitely\n\nEnvironmental compliance costs1,158 1,172 32 years\n\nPrice risk management100 167 \nup to 15.5 years\n\nCatastrophic event memorandum account (2)\n666 742 Various\n\nWildfire-related accounts (3)\n1,626 1,697 Various\n\nDeferred income taxes (4)\n6,157 4,771 Various\n\nFinancing costs (5)\n202 216 Various\n\nSB 901 securitization (6)\n5,089 5,194 27 years\n\nGeneral rate case memorandum accounts (7)\n— 95 Various\n\nOther (8)\n583 834 Various\n\nTotal noncurrent regulatory assets$15,981 $15,561  \n\n(1) Payments into the pension and other benefits plans are based on annual contribution requirements. As these annual requirements continue indefinitely into the future, the Utility expects to continuously recover pension benefits.\n\n(2) Includes costs of responding to catastrophic events that have been declared a disaster or state of emergency by competent federal or state authorities.\n\n(3) Represents costs associated with wildfire mitigation and prevention activities and includes the WEMA, FRMMA, WMPMA, WMBA, VMBA and MGMA.\n\n(4) Represents cumulative differences between amounts recognized for ratemaking purposes and expense recognized in accordance with GAAP.\n\n(5) Includes costs associated with long-term debt financing deemed recoverable under ASC 980, Regulated Operations more than twelve months from the current date. These costs and their amortization periods are reviewed and approved in the Utility’s cost of capital or other regulatory filings.\n\n(6) In connection with the SB 901 securitization, the CPUC authorized the issuance of recovery bonds to finance $7.5 billion of claims associated with the 2017 Northern California wildfires. The balance represents PG&E Wildfire Recovery Funding LLC’s right to recover $7.5 billion in wildfire claims costs associated with the 2017 Northern California wildfires, partially offset by the $2.0 billion in required upfront shareholder contributions to the customer credit trust, net of amortization since inception. The recovery bonds will be paid through fixed recovery charges, which are designed to recover the full scheduled principal amount of the recovery bonds along with any associated interest and financing costs. See Note 5 below.\n\n(7) The GRC memorandum accounts track the differences between the revenue requirements in effect on January 1, 2023 and the revenue requirements authorized by the CPUC in the 2023 GRC final decision in December 2023 to be collected over 24 months. The balance as of December 31, 2024 included revenue to be recognized related to gas transmission and storage capital expenditures incurred during the period from 2011 to 2014. This revenue is being recognized over 60 months, which began in August 2022.\n\n(8) The balance as of December 31, 2025 includes revenue to be recognized related to gas transmission and storage capital expenditures incurred during the period from 2011 to 2014.\n\n102\n\nRegulatory Liabilities\n\nCurrent Regulatory Liabilities\n\nAt December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Utility had current regulatory liabilities of $965 million and $1.2 billion respectively. At December 31, 2025, current regulatory liabilities consisted primarily of billed revenues exceeding FERC TO formula rate revenue requirements. Current regulatory liabilities are included within Current liabilities - Other in the Consolidated Balance Sheets.\n\nNoncurrent Regulatory Liabilities\n\nNoncurrent regulatory liabilities are comprised of the following:\n\n Balance at December 31,\n\n(in millions)20252024\n\nCost of removal obligations (1)\n$9,488 $8,943 \n\nPublic purpose programs (2)\n1,169 1,112 \n\nEmployee benefit plans (3)\n1,043 1,088 \n\nTransmission tower wireless licenses (4)\n257 306 \n\nSFGO sale (5)\n— 79 \n\nSB 901 securitization (6)\n6,010 6,295 \n\nWildfire self-insurance (7)\n1,035 804 \n\nOther (8)\n1,186 790 \n\nTotal noncurrent regulatory liabilities\n$20,188 $19,417 \n\n(1) Represents the cumulative differences between the recorded costs to remove assets and amounts collected through rates for expected costs to remove assets.\n\n(2) Represents amounts received from customers designated for public purpose program costs expected to be incurred beyond the next 12 months, primarily related to energy efficiency programs.\n\n(3) Represents cumulative differences between incurred costs and amounts collected through rates for post-retirement medical, post-retirement life, and long-term disability plans.\n\n(4) Represents the portion of the net proceeds received from the sale of transmission tower wireless licenses that will be returned to customers through 2042.\n\n(5) Represents the noncurrent portion of the net gain on the sale of the SFGO, which is being distributed to customers over a five-year period that began in 2022.\n\n(6) In connection with the SB 901 securitization, the Utility is required to return up to $7.59 billion of certain shareholder tax benefits to customers via periodic bill credits over the life of the recovery bonds. The balance reflects qualifying shareholder tax benefits that PG&E Corporation is obligated to contribute to the customer credit trust, net of amortization. See Note 5 below.\n\n(7) Represents amounts collected through rates designated for wildfire self-insurance, plus earnings on investments and less operating expenses of wildfire self-insurance.

See Note 14 below.\n\n(8) Includes amounts collected through FERC rates designated for wildfire self-insurance at December 31, 2024. See Note 14 below.\n\nRegulatory Balancing Accounts\n\nThe Utility tracks (1) differences between the Utility’s authorized revenue requirement and customer billings, and (2) differences between incurred costs and customer billings.  To the extent these differences are probable of recovery or refund over the next 12 months, the Utility records a current regulatory balancing account receivable or payable.  Regulatory balancing accounts that the Utility expects to collect or refund over a period exceeding 12 months are recorded as other noncurrent assets – regulatory assets or noncurrent liabilities – regulatory liabilities, respectively, in the Consolidated Balance Sheets.  These differences do not have an impact on net income.  Balancing accounts fluctuate during the year based on seasonal electric and gas usage and timing differences between when costs are incurred and customer revenues are collected.\n\nSome regulatory balancing accounts receivable earn interest which is reflected in Interest income in the Consolidated Statements of Income. Some regulatory balancing accounts payable accrue interest which is reflected in Interest expense in the Consolidated Statements of Income. Interest income from balancing accounts receivable was $419 million, $537 million, and $547 million for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024, and 2023, respectively. Interest expense from balancing accounts payable was $223 million, $323 million, and $257 million for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024, and 2023, respectively.\n\n103\n\nCurrent regulatory balancing accounts receivable and payable are comprised of the following:\n\nReceivable\nBalance at December 31,\n\n(in millions)20252024\n\nElectric distribution (1)\n$1,465 $1,591 \n\nElectric transmission (2)\n122 117 \n\nGas distribution and transmission (3)\n142 387 \n\nEnergy procurement (4)\n2,711 1,066 \n\nPublic purpose programs (5)\n151 162 \n\nWildfire-related accounts (6)\n84 979 \n\nInsurance premium costs (7)\n— 38 \n\nResidential uncollectibles balancing accounts (8)\n278 260 \n\nCatastrophic event memorandum account (9)\n181 500 \n\nGeneral rate case memorandum accounts (10)\n— 1,113 \n\nOther1,166 1,014 \n\nTotal regulatory balancing accounts receivable$6,300 $7,227 \n\nPayable\nBalance at December 31,\n\n(in millions)20252024\n\nElectric transmission (2)\n$37 $883 \n\nGas distribution and transmission (3)\n78 72 \n\nEnergy procurement (4)\n1,502 329 \n\nPublic purpose programs (5)\n472 882 \n\nSFGO sale83 93 \n\nWildfire-related accounts (6)\n338 337 \n\nNuclear decommissioning adjustment mechanism (11)\n1 23 \n\nOther608 550 \n\nTotal regulatory balancing accounts payable$3,119 $3,169 \n\n(1) The electric distribution accounts track the collection of revenue requirements approved in the GRC and other proceedings.\n\n(2) The electric transmission accounts track recovery of costs related to the transmission of electricity approved in FERC TO rate cases.\n\n(3) The gas distribution and transmission accounts track the collection of revenue requirements approved in the GRC and other proceedings.\n\n(4) Energy procurement balancing accounts track recovery of costs related to the procurement of electricity and other revenue requirements approved by the CPUC for recovery in procurement-related balancing accounts, including any environmental compliance-related activities.\n\n(5) The Public purpose programs balancing accounts are primarily used to record and recover authorized revenue requirements for CPUC-mandated programs such as energy efficiency.\n\n(6) The wildfire-related accounts track costs associated with wildfire mitigation and prevention activities and includes the FHPMA, WMPMA, WMBA and VMBA.\n\n(7) The insurance premium costs accounts track the current portion of incremental excess liability insurance costs recorded to the Risk Transfer Balancing Account, as authorized in the 2023 GRC.\n\n(8) The RUBA tracks costs associated with customer protections, including higher uncollectible costs related to limits on electric and gas service disconnections for residential customers.\n\n(9) The CEMA tracks costs associated with responding to catastrophic events that have been declared a disaster or state of emergency by competent federal or state authorities which were approved for cost recovery in the 2020 WMCE final decision, 2021 WMCE final decision, 2022 WMCE final decision, and 2023 WMCE final decision.\n\n(10) The GRC memorandum accounts track the difference between the revenue requirements in effect on January 1, 2023 and the revenue requirements authorized by the CPUC in the 2023 GRC final decision in December 2023.\n\n(11) The Nuclear decommissioning adjustment mechanism account tracks the collection of revenue requirements associated with the decommissioning of the Utility’s nuclear facilities which were approved in the 2021 NDCTP final decision.\n\n104\n\nNOTE 4: DEBT\n\nCredit Facilities and Term Loans\n\nThe following table summarizes PG&E Corporation’s and the Utility’s outstanding borrowings and availability under their credit facilities as of December 31, 2025:\n\n(in millions)Termination\nDateMaximum Facility LimitLoans OutstandingLetters of Credit OutstandingFacility\nAvailability\n\nUtility revolving credit facilityJune 2030$5,400 \n(1)\n$(1,575)$(639)$3,186 \n\nUtility Receivables Securitization Program (2)\nJune 20271,750 \n(3)\n(1,750)— — \n(3)\n\nPG&E Corporation revolving credit facilityJune 2028650 — — 650 \n\nTotal credit facilities$7,800 $(3,325)$(639)$3,836 \n\n(1)Includes a $2.0 billion letter of credit sublimit.\n\n(2) For more information on the Receivables Securitization Program, see “Variable Interest Entities” in Note 2 above.\n\n(3) The amount the Utility may borrow under the Receivables Securitization Program is limited to the lesser of the facility limit and the facility availability. Further, the facility availability may vary based on the amount of accounts receivable that the Utility owns that are eligible for sale to the SPV and the portion of those accounts receivable that are sold to the SPV that are eligible for advances by the lenders under the Receivables Securitization Program.\n\nUtility\n\nOn April 11, 2025, the Utility amended its existing $525 million term loan agreement to extend the maturity date to April 10, 2026. The loan bears interest based on the Utility’s election of either (1) Term SOFR (plus a 0.10% credit spread adjustment) plus an applicable margin of 1.375% or (2) the alternative base rate plus an applicable margin of 0.375%.\n\nOn June 23, 2025, the Utility amended its existing revolving credit agreement to, among other things, (i) extend the maturity date of such agreement to June 21, 2030, (ii) increase the aggregate commitments from $4.4 billion to $5.4 billion and (iii) modify both the interest rate pricing grid and commitment fee pricing grid.\n\nOn June 26, 2025, the Utility and the SPV amended the existing $1.5 billion Receivables Securitization Program to, among other things, (i) extend the scheduled termination date from June 26, 2026 to June 25, 2027 and (ii) allow the Utility and the SPV to request an increase to the commitments by an additional aggregate amount of up to $250 million, subject to the satisfaction of certain terms and conditions.\n\nOn September 24, 2025, the Utility entered into a Term Loan Credit Agreement, pursuant to which the lenders made available to the Utility term loans in the aggregate principal amount equal to $500 million (the “Term Loan”). The Term Loan bears interest based on the Utility’s election of either (1) Term SOFR plus an applicable margin of 1.250% or (2) the alternative base rate plus an applicable margin of 0.250%. The Utility borrowed the entire amount of the Term Loan on September 24, 2025. The Term Loan has a maturity date of September 23, 2026.\n\nOn December 19, 2025, the Utility amended its existing $525 million term loan agreement to, among other things, (i) increase the borrowing capacity to $600 million, (ii) extend the maturity date to December 18, 2026 and (iii) revise the interest rate based on the Utility’s election of either (1) the Term SOFR plus an applicable margin of 1.250% or (2) the alternative base rate plus an applicable margin of 0.250%.\n\nPG&E Corporation\n\nOn June 23, 2025, PG&E Corporation amended its existing revolving credit agreement to, among other things, (i) extend the maturity date of such agreement to June 22, 2028, (ii) increase the aggregate commitments from $500 million to $650 million and (iii) modify both the interest rate pricing grid and commitment fee pricing grid.\n\n105\n\nLong-Term Debt Issuances and Redemptions\n\nUtility\n\nOn February 24, 2025, the Utility completed the sale of (i) $1.0 billion aggregate principal amount of 5.700% First Mortgage Bonds due 2035 and (ii) $750 million aggregate principal amount of 6.150% First Mortgage Bonds due 2055. The Utility used the net proceeds of such issuances for (i) the repayment of all of its $600 million aggregate principal amount of 3.500% First Mortgage Bonds due June 15, 2025, and (ii) the repayment of all of its $450 million aggregate principal amount of 4.950% First Mortgage Bonds due June 8, 2025. The Utility used the remaining net proceeds from the offerings for general corporate purposes.\n\nOn June 4, 2025, the Utility completed the sale of (i) $400 million aggregate principal amount of 5.000% First Mortgage Bonds due 2028, and (ii) $850 million aggregate principal amount of 6.000% First Mortgage Bonds due 2035.

The Utility used the net proceeds of such issuances for repayment of a portion of its $1.9 billion aggregate principal amount of 3.15% First Mortgage Bonds due January 1, 2026. The Utility used the remaining net proceeds from the offerings for general corporate purposes.\n\nConvertible Notes\n\nOn December 4, 2023, PG&E Corporation completed the sale of $2.15 billion aggregate principal amount of 4.25% convertible senior secured notes due December 1, 2027 (the “Convertible Notes”). The Convertible Notes bear interest at an annual rate of 4.25% with interest payable semiannually in arrears on June 1 and December 1 of each year, beginning on June 1, 2024. The net proceeds from these offerings were approximately $2.12 billion, after deducting the initial purchasers’ discounts and commissions and PG&E Corporation’s offering expenses. PG&E Corporation used the net proceeds to prepay $2.15 billion outstanding under its term loan agreement.\n\nThe Convertible Notes are governed by an indenture (the “Convertible Notes Indenture”). The Convertible Notes Indenture contains limited covenants, including those restricting PG&E Corporation’s ability and certain of PG&E Corporation’s subsidiaries’ ability to create liens, engage in sale and leaseback transactions or merge or consolidate with another entity.\n\nPrior to the close of business on the business day immediately preceding September 1, 2027, the Convertible Notes will be convertible by means of Combination Settlement (as described below) when the following conditions are met:\n\n•during any calendar quarter commencing after the calendar quarter ending on March 31, 2024, if the last reported sale price of PG&E Corporation’s common stock for at least 20 trading days during the period of 30 consecutive trading days ending on, and including the last trading day of the immediately preceding calendar quarter is greater than or equal to 130% of the conversion price on each applicable trading day;\n\n•during the five consecutive business day period immediately after any 10 consecutive trading day period (“measurement period”) in which the trading price per $1,000 principal amount of Convertible Notes, as determined following a request by a holder of Convertible Notes in accordance with the procedures described in the Convertible Notes Indenture, for each trading day of the measurement period was less than 90% of the product of the last reported sale price of PG&E Corporation’s common stock and the conversion rate on each such trading day; or\n\n•upon specified distributions and corporate events described in the Convertible Notes Indenture.\n\nOn or after September 1, 2027, the Convertible Notes are convertible by means of Combination Settlement (as described below) by holders at any time in whole or in part until the close of business on the business day immediately preceding the maturity date.\n\n106\n\nOn December 8, 2023, PG&E Corporation delivered an irrevocable notice (the “Irrevocable Notice”) to the Trustee under the Convertible Notes Indenture to irrevocably fix the Settlement Method upon conversion to Combination Settlement with a Specified Dollar Amount (each as defined in the Convertible Notes Indenture) per $1,000 principal amount of Convertible Notes at or above $1,000 for any conversions of the Convertible Notes occurring subsequent to the delivery of such Irrevocable Notice on December 8, 2023; provided that in no event shall the Specified Dollar Amount per $1,000 principal amount of Convertible Notes be less than $1,000.\n\nThe conversion rate for the Convertible Notes is initially 43.146 shares of common stock per $1,000 principal amount of the Convertible Notes (equivalent to an initial conversion price of approximately $23.18 per share of PG&E Corporation common stock). The conversion rate and the corresponding conversion price are subject to adjustment in connection with some events but will not be adjusted for any accrued and unpaid interest. PG&E Corporation may not redeem the Convertible Notes prior to the maturity date.\n\nIf PG&E Corporation undergoes a Fundamental Change (other than an Exempted Fundamental Change, each as defined in the Convertible Notes Indenture), subject to certain conditions, holders may require PG&E Corporation to repurchase for cash all or any portion of their Convertible Notes at a repurchase price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Convertible Notes to be repurchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date (as defined in the Convertible Notes Indenture). As of December 31, 2025, none of the conditions allowing holders of the Convertible Notes to convert had been met.\n\nThe Convertible Notes are accounted for in accordance with ASC Subtopic 470-20, Debt with Conversion and Other Options. Pursuant to ASC Subtopic 470-20, debt with an embedded conversion feature should be accounted for in its entirety as a liability, and no portion of the proceeds from the issuance of the convertible debt instrument should be accounted for as attributable to the conversion feature unless the conversion feature is required to be accounted for separately as an embedded derivative or the conversion feature results in a premium that is subject to the guidance in ASC 470. The Convertible Notes issued are accounted for as a liability with no portion of the proceeds attributable to the conversion options as the conversion feature did not require separate accounting as a derivative, and the Convertible Notes did not involve a premium subject to the guidance in ASC 470.\n\nAs of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Consolidated Financial Statements reflected the net carrying amount of the Convertible Notes of $2.14 billion and $2.13 billion, with unamortized debt issuance costs of $13 million and $20 million, respectively, in Long-term debt. For the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024, and 2023, the Consolidated Statements of Income reflected the total interest expense of approximately $91 million, $98 million, and $7 million, respectively.\n\n107\n\nThe following table summarizes PG&E Corporation’s and the Utility’s Long-term debt:\n\nBalance at\n\n(in millions)Contractual Interest RatesDecember 31, 2025December 31, 2024\n\nPG&E Corporation\n\nConvertible Notes due 20274.25%$2,150 $2,150 \n\nSenior Secured Notes due 20285.00%1,000 1,000 \n\nSenior Secured Notes due 20305.25%1,000 1,000 \n\nJunior Subordinated Notes due 20557.38%1,500 1,500 \n\nUnamortized discount, premium and debt issuance costs, net(29)(39)\n\nTotal PG&E Corporation Long-Term Debt5,621 5,611 \n\nUtility\n\nFirst Mortgage Bonds - Stated Maturity:\n\n2025\n3.45% - 4.95%\n— 1,925 \n\n2026\n 2.95%\n600 2,551 \n\n2027\n2.10% - 5.45%\n3,000 3,000 \n\n2028\n3.00% - 5.00%\n2,775 1,975 \n\n2029\n4.20% - 6.10%\n2,100 2,100 \n\n2030\n 4.55%\n3,100 3,100 \n\n2031\n2.50% - 3.25%\n3,000 3,000 \n\n2032\n4.40% - 5.90%\n1,900 1,050 \n\n2033\n6.15% - 6.40%\n1,900 1,900 \n\n2034\n5.80% - 6.95%\n1,900 1,900 \n\n2035\n5.70% - 6.00%\n1,850 — \n\n2040\n3.30% - 4.50%\n2,951 2,951 \n\n2041\n4.20% - 4.50%\n700 700 \n\n2042\n3.75% - 4.45%\n750 750 \n\n2043\n4.60%\n375 375 \n\n2044\n4.75%\n675 675 \n\n2045\n4.30%\n600 600 \n\n2046\n4.00% - 4.25%\n1,050 1,050 \n\n2047\n3.95%\n850 850 \n\n2050\n3.50% - 4.95%\n5,025 5,025 \n\n2052\n5.25%\n550 550 \n\n2053\n6.70% - 6.75%\n2,300 2,300 \n\n20545.90%750 750 \n\n2055\n6.10% - 6.15%\n1,500 — \n\nLess: current portion, net of unamortized discount and debt issuance costs(600)(1,924)\n\nUnamortized discount, premium and debt issuance costs, net(247)(226)\n\nTotal Utility First Mortgage Bonds39,354 36,927 \n\nRecovery Bonds (1)\n10,145 10,367 \n\n         Less: current portion(221)(222)\n\nDWR Loan (2)\n738 886 \n\nCredit Facilities\n\nReceivables Securitization Program - Stated Maturity: 2027\nvariable rate (3)\n1,750 — \n\nTotal Utility Long-Term Debt51,766 47,958 \n\nTotal PG&E Corporation Consolidated Long-Term Debt$57,387 $53,569 \n\n(1) The amount includes bonds related to AB 1054 and SB 901 securitization transactions.

For SB 901 interest rates, see the 2022 Form 10-K.\n\nNOTE 5: SB 901 SECURITIZATION AND CUSTOMER CREDIT TRUST\n\nPursuant to the financing order for the SB 901 securitization transactions, the Utility sold its right to receive revenues from the SB 901 Recovery Property to PG&E Wildfire Recovery Funding LLC, which, in turn, issued the recovery bonds secured by separate fixed recovery charges and separate SB 901 Recovery Property. The fixed recovery charges are designed to recover the full scheduled principal amount of the applicable series of recovery bonds along with any associated interest and financing costs. The customer credit trust (see Note 11 below) funds a customer credit to ratepayers, designed to equal the recovery bond principal, interest, and financing costs over the life of the recovery bonds to offset the fixed recovery charge. The fixed recovery charges and customer credits are presented on a net basis in Operating revenues in the Consolidated Statements of Income and had no net impact on Operating revenues for the year ended December 31, 2025.\n\nUpon issuance of senior secured recovery bonds in May 2022 (“inception”), the Utility recorded a $5.5 billion SB 901 securitization regulatory asset reflecting PG&E Wildfire Recovery Funding LLC’s right to recover $7.5 billion in wildfire claims costs associated with the 2017 Northern California wildfires, partially offset by the $2.0 billion in required upfront shareholder contributions to the customer credit trust. As of December 31, 2025, the Utility had made all required upfront contributions. The Utility also recorded a $5.54 billion SB 901 securitization regulatory liability at inception, which represents certain shareholder tax benefits the Utility had previously recognized that will be returned to customers. As tax benefits are monetized, contributions will be made to the customer credit trust, up to $7.59 billion. The Utility expects to amortize the SB 901 securitization regulatory asset and liability over the life of the recovery bonds, with such amortization reflected in Operating and maintenance expense in the Consolidated Statements of Income. During the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Utility recorded $302 million and $328 million, respectively, for amortization of the regulatory asset and liability in the Consolidated Statements of Income.\n\nThe following tables illustrate the changes in the SB 901 securitization’s impact on the Utility’s regulatory assets and liabilities:\n\nSB 901 securitization regulatory asset\n\n(in millions)\n20252024\n\nBalance at January 1\n$5,194 $5,249 \n\nAmortization\n(105)(55)\n\nBalance at December 31\n$5,089 $5,194 \n\n109\n\nSB 901 securitization regulatory liability\n\n(in millions)\n20252024\n\nBalance at January 1\n$(6,295)$(6,628)\n\nAmortization\n407 383 \n\nAdditions(1)\n(122)(50)\n\nBalance at December 31\n$(6,010)$(6,295)\n\n(1) Includes $87 million and $16 million of returns on investments in the customer credit trust expected to be credited to customers for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.\n\nNOTE 6: COMMON STOCK AND SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION\n\nPG&E Corporation had 2,197,942,874 shares of common stock outstanding at December 31, 2025, excluding 477,743,590 shares of common stock owned by the Utility. PG&E Corporation held all of the Utility’s outstanding common stock at December 31, 2025.\n\nOn December 4, 2024, PG&E Corporation issued 55,961,070 shares of common stock, no par value, for cash proceeds of approximately $1.13 billion. The proceeds from this issuance are intended to be used for general corporate purposes, which may include, among other things, to fund its five-year capital investment plan.\n\nDividends\n\nCPUC holding company rules require that the Utility’s dividend policy be established by the Utility’s Board of Directors on the same basis as if the Utility were a stand-alone utility company, and that the capital requirements of Utility, as deemed to be necessary to meet the Utility’s electricity service obligations, receive first priority from the Boards of Directors of both PG&E Corporation and the Utility. The CPUC requires the Utility to maintain a capital structure composed of at least 52% equity on average.\n\nCalifornia law requires that a corporation must pass either a retained earnings test or an asset to liabilities ratio test to declare a dividend, ensuring it can meet its liabilities as they mature.\n\nAdditionally, neither PG&E Corporation nor the Utility may pay common stock dividends unless all cumulative preferred dividends on PG&E Corporation’s Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock and the Utility’s preferred stock, respectively, have been paid.\n\nSubject to the foregoing restrictions, any decision to declare and pay dividends in the future will be made at the discretion of PG&E Corporation’s and the Utility’s Boards of Directors and will depend on, among other things, results of operations, financial condition, cash requirements, contractual restrictions and other factors that the Boards of Directors may deem relevant.\n\nThe following table summarizes the dividends on common stock paid or declared by PG&E Corporation and the Utility in 2025:\n\nSecurityAmount per ShareAggregate amount (in millions)Date of DeclarationRecord DatePayment Date\n\nPG&E Corporation common stock$0.025 $55 November 29, 2024December 31, 2024January 15, 2025\n\n0.02555 February 20, 2025March 31, 2025April 15, 2025\n\n0.02555 May 22, 2025June 30, 2025July 15, 2025\n\n0.02555 September 18, 2025September 30, 2025October 15, 2025\n\n0.05110 December 11, 2025December 31, 2025January 15, 2026\n\nUtility common stock\n(1)\n575 February 20, 2025\n(1)\nMarch 18, 2025\n\n(1)\n575 May 22, 2025\n(1)\nMay 30, 2025\n\n(1)\n575 September 18, 2025\n(1)\nSeptember 26, 2025\n\n(1)\n625 December 11, 2025\n(1)\nDecember 18, 2025\n\n(1) PG&E Corporation owns all of the outstanding shares of Utility common stock.\n\n110\n\nLong-Term Incentive Plans\n\nThe LTIP (i.e., the PG&E Corporation 2014 LTIP or the PG&E Corporation 2021 LTIP, as applicable) permits various forms of share-based incentive awards, including stock options, restricted stock units, performance shares, and other share-based awards, to eligible employees of PG&E Corporation and its subsidiaries.  Non-employee directors of PG&E Corporation are also eligible to receive certain share-based awards.  A maximum of 91 million shares of PG&E Corporation common stock (subject to certain adjustments) has been reserved for issuance under the LTIP, of which 51,401,320 shares were available for future awards at December 31, 2025.\n\nThe following table provides a summary of total share-based compensation expense recognized by PG&E Corporation for share-based incentive awards:\n\n(in millions)\n202520242023\n\nRestricted stock units80 67 64 \n\nPerformance shares54 31 27 \n\nTotal compensation expense (pre-tax)$134 $98 $91 \n\nTotal compensation expense (after-tax)$97 $71 $65 \n\nShare-based compensation costs are generally not capitalized.  There was no material difference between PG&E Corporation and the Utility for the information disclosed above.\n\nStock Options\n\nThe exercise price of stock options granted under the LTIP and all other outstanding stock options is equal to the market price of PG&E Corporation’s common stock on the grant date.  Stock options generally have a 10-year term and vest over three years of continuous service, subject to accelerated vesting in certain circumstances. As of December 31, 2025, there were no unrecognized compensation costs related to nonvested stock options for PG&E Corporation.\n\nThe fair value of each stock option on the grant date is estimated using the Black-Scholes valuation method. No stock options were granted in 2025 or 2024.\n\nExpected volatilities are based on historical volatility of PG&E Corporation’s common stock.  The expected dividend payment is the dividend yield at the grant date.  The risk-free interest rate for periods within the contractual term of the stock option is based on the U.S. Treasury rates in effect at the grant date.  The expected life of stock options is derived from historical data that estimates stock option exercises and employee departure behavior.\n\nThere was no tax benefit recognized from stock options for the year ended December 31, 2025.\n\nThe following table summarizes stock option activity for PG&E Corporation and the Utility for 2025:\n\nNumber of\nStock OptionsWeighted Average Grant-\nDate Fair ValueWeighted Average Remaining Contractual Term (Years)\n\nOutstanding at January 1743,963 $10.23 \n\nGranted (1)\n— — \n\nExercised— — \n\nForfeited or expired(111,495)10.23 \n\nOutstanding at December 31632,468 10.23 1.91\n\nVested or expected to vest at December 31632,468 10.23 1.91\n\nExercisable at December 31632,468 $10.23 1.91\n\n(1) Represents additional payout of existing stock option grants.\n\n111\n\nRestricted Stock Units\n\nRestricted stock units generally vest equally over three years. Vested restricted stock units are settled in shares of PG&E Corporation common stock accompanied by cash payments to settle any dividend equivalents associated with the vested restricted stock units.  Compensation expense is generally recognized ratably over the vesting period based on grant-date fair value.  The weighted average grant-date fair value for restricted stock units granted during 2025, 2024, and 2023 was $16.43, $16.74, and $15.70, respectively.  The total fair value of restricted stock units that vested during 2025, 2024, and 2023 was $70 million, $62 million, and $64 million, respectively.  The tax benefit from restricted stock units that vested in 2025 was $8 million.  In general, forfeitures are recorded ratably over the vesting period, using historical averages and adjusted to actuals when vesting occurs.  As of December 31, 2025, $108 million of total unrecognized compensation costs related to nonvested restricted stock units was expected to be recognized over the remaining weighted average period of 1.60 years.\n\nThe following table summarizes restricted stock unit activity for 2025:\n\nNumber of\nRestricted Stock UnitsWeighted Average Grant-\nDate Fair Value\n\nNonvested at January 19,423,582 $15.52 \n\nGranted6,252,871 16.43 \n\nVested(4,744,176)14.66 \n\nForfeited(254,623)16.21 \n\nNonvested at December 3110,677,654 $16.42 \n\nPerformance Shares\n\nPerformance shares generally vest three years after the grant date.  Following vesting, performance shares are settled in shares of common stock based on either PG&E Corporation’s total shareholder return relative to a specified group of industry peer companies over a three-year performance period (“TSR”) or an internal PG&E Corporation metric (subject in some instances to a multiplier based on TSR).  Dividend equivalents, if any, are paid in cash based on the amount of common stock to which the recipients are entitled.\n\nCompensation expense attributable to performance shares is generally recognized ratably over the applicable three-year period based on the grant-date fair value determined using a Monte Carlo simulation valuation model for the TSR-based awards or the grant-date market value of PG&E Corporation common stock for awards based on internal metrics.  The weighted average grant-date fair value for performance shares granted during 2025, 2024, and 2023 was $15.10, $16.94, and $13.39 respectively.  In general, forfeitures are recorded ratably over the vesting period, using historical averages and adjusted to actuals when vesting occurs.  As of December 31, 2025, $39 million of total unrecognized compensation costs related to nonvested performance shares was expected to be recognized over the remaining weighted average period of 1.14 years.\n\nThe following table summarizes activity for performance shares in 2025:\n\nNumber of\nPerformance SharesWeighted Average Grant-\nDate Fair Value\n\nNonvested at January 17,180,206 $15.52 \n\nGranted2,445,690 15.10 \n\nVested(2,831,269)11.21 \n\nForfeited\n(332,132)16.39 \n\nNonvested at December 316,462,495 $16.40 \n\nNOTE 7: PREFERRED STOCK\n\nPG&E Corporation\n\nPG&E Corporation has authorized 400 million shares of preferred stock.\n\nOn December 5, 2024, PG&E Corporation issued 32,200,000 shares of 6.000% Series A Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock, at $50.00 per share, for cash proceeds of approximately $1.6 billion. The proceeds from this issuance are intended to be used for general corporate purposes, which may include, among other things, to fund its five-year capital investment plan.\n\n112\n\nEach share of the Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock will automatically convert on December 1, 2027. The number of shares of common stock issuable on conversion of Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock will not be more than 2.4331 shares of common stock and not less than 1.9465 shares of common stock.\n\nOther than during a Fundamental Change Conversion Period (as defined in the PG&E Corporation Preferred Stock Certificate of Designation), at any time prior to December 1, 2027, holders of Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock have the option to elect to convert their shares of the Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock, in whole or in part (but in no event in increments of less than one share of the Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock), into shares of common stock at the Minimum Conversion Rate of 1.9465 shares of common stock per share of Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock, subject to adjustment as described in the Preferred Stock Preliminary Prospectus Supplement.\n\nUtility\n\nThe Utility has authorized 75 million shares of first preferred stock, with a par value of $25 per share, and 10 million shares of $100 first preferred stock, with a par value of $100 per share.  At December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Utility’s preferred stock outstanding included $145 million of shares with interest rates between 5% and 6% designated as nonredeemable preferred stock and $113 million of shares with interest rates between 4.36% and 5% that are redeemable between $25.75 and $27.25 per share. The Utility’s preferred stock outstanding are not subject to mandatory redemption. No shares of $100 first preferred stock are outstanding.\n\nDividends\n\nPG&E Corporation\n\nAll shares of the Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock have voting rights and an equal preference in dividend and liquidation rights. Upon liquidation or dissolution of the Utility, holders of the Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock would be entitled to the par value of such shares plus all accumulated and unpaid dividends, as specified for the class and series.\n\nDividends on the Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock are cumulative. The Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock ranks senior to PG&E Corporation’s common stock with respect to the payment of dividends. Accordingly, unless accumulated dividends have been paid on all of the Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock through the most recently completed dividend period, no dividends may be declared or paid on PG&E Corporation’s common stock and PG&E Corporation will not be permitted to repurchase any of its common stock, subject to limited exceptions.\n\nUtility\n\nAt December 31, 2025, annual dividends on the Utility’s nonredeemable preferred stock ranged from $1.25 to $1.50 per share.  The Utility’s redeemable preferred stock is subject to redemption at the Utility’s option, in whole or in part, if the Utility pays the specified redemption price plus accumulated and unpaid dividends through the redemption date.  At December 31, 2025, annual dividends on the Utility’s redeemable preferred stock ranged from $1.09 to $1.25 per share.\n\nDividends on all Utility preferred stock are cumulative.  All shares of preferred stock have voting rights and an equal preference in dividend and liquidation rights.  Upon liquidation or dissolution of the Utility, holders of preferred stock would be entitled to the par value of such shares plus all accumulated and unpaid dividends, as specified for the class and series.  \n\n113\n\nThe following table summarizes the dividends on preferred stock paid or declared by PG&E Corporation and the Utility in 2025:\n\nSecurityAmount per ShareAggregate amount (in millions)Date of DeclarationRecord DatePayment Date\n\nPG&E Corporation mandatory convertible preferred stock$0.7167 $23 December 12, 2024February 14, 2025February 27, 2025\n\n0.75 24 February 20, 2025May 15, 2025May 29, 2025\n\n0.75 24 May 22, 2025August 15, 2025August 28, 2025\n\n0.75 24 September 18, 2025November 14, 2025December 1, 2025\n\n0.75 24 December 11, 2025February 13, 2026March 1, 2026\n\nUtility preferred stockvaries by series3.5 November 29, 2024January 31, 2025February 15, 2025\n\nvaries by series3.5 February 20, 2025April 30, 2025May 15, 2025\n\nvaries by series3.5 May 22, 2025July 31, 2025August 15, 2025\n\nvaries by series3.5 September 18, 2025October 31, 2025November 15, 2025\n\nvaries by series3.5 December 11, 2025January 30, 2026February 15, 2026\n\nFor more information on dividend policy, see Note 6 above.\n\nNOTE 8: EARNINGS PER SHARE\n\nPG&E Corporation’s basic EPS is calculated by dividing the income available for common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding.  PG&E Corporation applies the treasury stock method of reflecting the dilutive effect of outstanding share-based compensation in the calculation of diluted EPS.  The following is a reconciliation of PG&E Corporation’s income (loss) available for common shareholders and weighted average common shares outstanding for calculating diluted EPS for 2025, 2024, and 2023.\n\n Year Ended December 31,\n\n(in millions, except per share amounts)202520242023\n\nIncome available for common shareholders$2,593 $2,475 $2,242 \n\nWeighted average common shares outstanding, basic (1)\n2,197 2,141 2,064 \n\nAdd incremental shares from assumed conversions:\n\nEmployee share-based compensation\n5 6 6 \n\nEquity Units— — 68 \n\nWeighted average common shares outstanding, diluted2,202 2,147 2,138 \n\nTotal earnings per common share, diluted$1.18 $1.15 $1.05 \n\n(1) Excludes 477,743,590 shares of PG&E Corporation common stock held by the Utility.\n\nFor each of the periods presented above, the calculation of outstanding common shares on a diluted basis excluded an insignificant number of options and securities that were antidilutive. For the year ended December 31, 2025, the calculation of outstanding common shares on a diluted basis excluded the impacts of the Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock (see Note 7 above), which were antidilutive. In addition, as a result of an irrevocable election made on December 8, 2023 to fix the settlement method to Combination Settlement, the Convertible Notes (as defined in Note 4) did not have a material impact on the calculation of diluted EPS.\n\nNOTE 9: INCOME TAXES\n\nPG&E Corporation and the Utility use the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes.  The income tax provision includes current and deferred income taxes resulting from operations during the year. PG&E Corporation and the Utility estimate current period tax expense in addition to calculating deferred tax assets and liabilities.  Deferred tax assets and liabilities result from temporary tax and accounting timing differences, such as those arising from depreciation expense or tax carryforwards.\n\n114\n\nPG&E Corporation and the Utility recognize a tax benefit if it is more likely than not that a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return will be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities based on the technical merits of the position.  The tax benefit recognized in the financial statements is measured based on the largest amount of benefit that is greater than 50% likely of being realized upon settlement.  As such, the difference between a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return in future periods and the benefit recognized and measured pursuant to this guidance in the financial statements represents an unrecognized tax benefit.\n\nIn general, investment tax credits are deferred and amortized to income over time.  PG&E Corporation amortizes its investment tax credits over the projected investment recovery period.  The Utility amortizes its investment tax credits over the life of the related property in accordance with regulatory treatment.\n\nPG&E Corporation files a consolidated U.S. federal income tax return that includes the Utility and domestic subsidiaries in which its ownership is 80% or more.  PG&E Corporation files a combined state income tax return in California.  PG&E Corporation and the Utility are parties to a tax-sharing agreement under which the Utility determines its income tax provision (benefit) on a stand-alone basis.\n\nThe significant components of income tax expense (benefit) were as

expense on the Consolidated Statements of Income.  For the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024, and 2023, these amounts were immaterial.\n\n117\n\nTax Audits\n\nPG&E Corporation’s tax returns have been accepted through 2015 for federal income tax purposes. The IRS is auditing PG&E Corporation’s tax returns for 2015 through 2018. The most significant unresolved matter relates to the deductibility of approximately $850 million in costs for San Bruno related safety spend, which the CPUC did not allow the Utility to recover through rates, and $400 million in customer bill credits. PG&E Corporation records an income tax benefit related to a deduction for an uncertain tax position when it determines it is more likely than not that the uncertain tax position will ultimately be sustained. On June 4, 2024, the Office of Chief Counsel of the IRS issued a technical advice memorandum taking the position that the costs the Utility incurred for San Bruno related to safety spend and customer bill credits are nondeductible fines or penalties. PG&E Corporation decreased its Income tax benefit by $70 million related to state and federal income taxes in 2024. PG&E Corporation intends to defend itself vigorously as to all costs in this matter.\n\nCarryforwards\n\nThe following table describes PG&E Corporation’s operating loss and tax credit carryforward balances:\n\n(in millions)December 31, 2025Expiration\nYear\n\nFederal:  \n\nNet operating loss carryforward - Pre-2018$3,307 2031 - 2036\n\nNet operating loss carryforward - Post-201734,957 N/A\n\nTax credit carryforward226 Various\n\nState:\n\nNet operating loss carryforward$34,143 2039 - 2041\n\nTax credit carryforward167 Various\n\nPG&E Corporation does not believe that the Chapter 11 Cases resulted in loss of or limitation on the utilization of any of the tax carryforwards. PG&E Corporation will continue to monitor the status of tax carryforwards.\n\nNOTE 10: DERIVATIVES\n\nUse of Derivative Instruments\n\nThe Utility is exposed to commodity price risk as a result of its electricity and natural gas procurement activities. Procurement costs are recovered through rates. The Utility uses both derivative and non-derivative contracts to manage volatility in customer rates due to fluctuating commodity prices. Derivatives include contracts, such as power purchase agreements, forwards, futures, swaps, options, and CRRs that are traded either on an exchange or over-the-counter.\n\nDerivatives are presented in the Utility’s Consolidated Balance Sheets and recorded at fair value and on a net basis in accordance with master netting arrangements for each counterparty. The fair value of derivative instruments is further offset by cash collateral paid or received where the right of offset and the intention to offset exist.\n\nPrice risk management activities that meet the definition of derivatives are recorded at fair value on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. These instruments are not held for speculative purposes and are subject to certain regulatory requirements. The Utility expects to fully recover through rates all costs related to derivatives under the applicable ratemaking mechanism in place as long as the Utility’s price risk management activities are carried out in accordance with CPUC directives. Therefore, all unrealized gains and losses associated with the change in fair value of these derivatives are deferred and recorded within the Utility’s regulatory assets and liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Net realized gains or losses on commodity derivatives are recorded in the Cost of electricity or the Cost of natural gas with corresponding increases or decreases to regulatory balancing accounts for recovery from or refund to customers.\n\nThe Utility elects the normal purchase and sale exception for eligible derivatives. Eligible derivatives are those that require physical delivery in quantities that are expected to be used by the Utility over a reasonable period in the normal course of business and do not contain pricing provisions unrelated to the commodity delivered.  These items are not reflected in the Consolidated Balance Sheets at fair value.\n\n118\n\nVolume of Derivative Activity\n\nThe volumes of the Utility’s outstanding derivatives were as follows:\n\n  Contract Volume at\n\nUnderlying ProductInstrumentsDecember 31, 2025December 31, 2024\n\nNatural Gas (1) (MMBtus (2))\nForwards, futures, and swaps232,825,834 179,257,247 \n\n Options48,215,000 37,717,500 \n\nElectricity (MWh)Forwards, futures, and swaps7,196,942 8,576,078 \n\nOptions1,650,800 1,663,200 \n\n \nCongestion Revenue Rights (3)\n93,712,644 123,040,895 \n\n(1) Amounts shown are for the combined positions of the electric fuels and core gas supply portfolios.\n\n(2) Million British Thermal Units.\n\n(3) CRRs are financial instruments that enable the holders to manage variability in electric energy congestion charges due to transmission grid limitations.\n\nPresentation of Derivative Instruments in the Financial Statements\n\nAs of December 31, 2025, the Utility’s outstanding derivative balances were as follows:\n\n Commodity Risk\n\n(in millions)Gross Derivative\nBalanceNettingTotal Derivative\nBalance\n\nCurrent assets – other$165 $(46)$119 \n\nNoncurrent assets – other170 (6)164 \n\nCurrent liabilities – other(169)46 (123)\n\nNoncurrent liabilities – other(106)6 (100)\n\nTotal commodity risk$60 $— $60 \n\nAs of December 31, 2024, the Utility’s outstanding derivative balances were as follows:\n\n Commodity Risk\n\n(in millions)Gross Derivative\nBalanceNettingTotal Derivative\nBalance\n\nCurrent assets – other$186 $(16)$170 \n\nNoncurrent assets – other233 — 233 \n\nCurrent liabilities – other(152)16 (136)\n\nNoncurrent liabilities – other(167)— (167)\n\nTotal commodity risk$100 $— $100 \n\nCash inflows and outflows associated with derivatives are included in operating cash flows on the Utility’s Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.\n\nSome of the Utility’s derivative instruments, including power purchase agreements, contain collateral posting provisions tied to the Utility’s credit rating from each of the major credit rating agencies, also known as a credit-risk-related contingent feature. Multiple credit agencies continue to rate the Utility below investment grade, which results in the Utility posting additional collateral. As of December 31, 2025, the Utility satisfied or has otherwise addressed its obligations related to the credit-risk related contingency features.\n\nNOTE 11: FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS\n\nPG&E Corporation and the Utility measure their cash equivalents, self-insurance assets, trust assets, and price risk management instruments at fair value.  A three-tier fair value hierarchy is established that prioritizes the inputs to valuation methodologies used to measure fair value:\n\n•Level 1 – Observable inputs that reflect quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.\n\n•Level 2 – Other inputs that are directly or indirectly observable in the marketplace.\n\n119\n\n•Level 3 – Unobservable inputs which are supported by little or no market activities.\n\nThe fair value hierarchy requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value.\n\nAssets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis for PG&E Corporation and the Utility are summarized below.  Assets held in rabbi trusts are held by PG&E Corporation and not the Utility.\n\n Fair Value Measurements\n\n \nAt December 31, 2025\n\n(in millions)Level 1Level 2Level 3\nNetting (1)\nTotal\n\nAssets:     \n\nShort-term investments\n$634 $— $— $— $634 \n\nFixed-income securities— — — — — \n\nSelf-insurance investments\n\n   Short-term investments1,120 — — — 1,120 \n\nTotal Self-insurance investments (2)\n1,120 — — — 1,120 \n\nNuclear decommissioning trusts\n\nShort-term investments94 — — — 94 \n\nGlobal equity securities2,433 — — — 2,433 \n\nFixed-income securities1,445 1,113 — — 2,558 \n\nAssets measured at NAV— — — — 26 \n\nTotal nuclear decommissioning trusts (3)\n3,972 1,113 — — 5,111 \n\nCustomer credit trust\n\nShort-term investments111 — — — 111 \n\nGlobal equity securities— — — — — \n\nFixed-income securities367 326 — — 693 \n\nTotal customer credit trust\n478 326 — — 804 \n\nPrice risk management instruments (Note 10)\n     \n\nElectricity— 19 283 (6)296 \n\nGas— 33 — (46)(13)\n\nTotal price risk management instruments— 52 283 (52)283 \n\nRabbi trusts     \n\nShort-term investments115 — — — 115 \n\nGlobal equity securities5 — — — 5 \n\nLife insurance contracts— 65 — — 65 \n\nTotal rabbi trusts120 65 — — 185 \n\nLong-term disability trust     \n\nShort-term investments10 — — — 10 \n\nAssets measured at NAV— — — — 127 \n\nTotal long-term disability trust10 — — — 137 \n\nTOTAL ASSETS$6,334 $1,556 $283 $(52)$8,274 \n\nLiabilities:     \n\nPrice risk management instruments (Note 10)\n     \n\nElectricity$— $80 $130 $(6)$204 \n\nGas— 65 — (46)19 \n\nTOTAL LIABILITIES$— $145 $130 $(52)$223 \n\n(1) Includes the effect of the contractual ability to settle contracts under master netting agreements.\n\n(2) Includes $1 billion and $77 million held in the entities for wildfire and non-wildfire self-insurance, respectively.\n\n120\n\n(3) Represents amount before deducting $881 million primarily related to deferred taxes on appreciation of investment value.\n\n Fair Value Measurements\n\n \nAt December 31, 2024\n\n(in millions)Level 1Level 2Level 3\nNetting (1)\nTotal\n\nAssets:     \n\nShort-term investments$826 $— $— $— $826 \n\nPacific Energy Risk Solutions, LLC\n\n  Short-term investments905 — — — 905 \n\nTotal Pacific Energy Risk Solutions, LLC905 — — — 905 \n\nNuclear decommissioning trusts\n\nShort-term investments53 — — — 53 \n\nGlobal equity securities2,228 — — — 2,228 \n\nFixed-income securities1,250 1,027 — — 2,277 \n\nAssets measured at NAV— — — — 22 \n\nTotal nuclear decommissioning trusts (2)\n3,531 1,027 — — 4,580 \n\nCustomer credit trust\n\nShort-term investments1 — — — 1 \n\nGlobal equity securities186 — — — 186 \n\nFixed-income securities46 144 — — 190 \n\nTotal customer credit trust\n233 144 — — 377 \n\nPrice risk management instruments (Note 10)\n    \n\nElectricity— 26 383 (6)403 \n\nGas— 10 — (10)— \n\nTotal price risk management instruments— 36 383 (16)403 \n\nRabbi trusts    \n\nShort-term investments107 — — — 107 \n\nGlobal equity securities6 — — — 6 \n\nLife insurance contracts— 66 — — 66 \n\nTotal rabbi trusts113 66 — — 179 \n\nLong-term disability trust    \n\nShort-term investments4 — — — 4 \n\nAssets measured at NAV— — — — 130 \n\nTotal long-term disability trust4 — — — 134 \n\nTOTAL ASSETS$5,612 $1,273 $383 $(16)$7,404 \n\nLiabilities:    \n\nPrice risk management instruments (Note 10)\n    \n\nElectricity$— $37 $248 $(6)$279 \n\nGas— 34 — (10)24 \n\nTOTAL LIABILITIES$— $71 $248 $(16)$303 \n\n(1) Includes the effect of the contractual ability to settle contracts under master netting agreements.\n\n(2) Represents amount before deducting $747 million primarily related to deferred taxes on appreciation of investment value.\n\nValuation Techniques\n\nThe following describes the valuation techniques used to measure the fair value of the assets and liabilities shown in the tables above. There are no restrictions on the terms and conditions upon which the investments may be redeemed. There were no material transfers between any levels for the years ended December 31, 2025 or 2024.\n\n121\n\nTrust Assets\n\nAssets Measured at Fair Value\n\nIn general, investments held in the trusts are exposed to various risks, such as interest rate, credit, and market volatility risks. Nuclear decommissioning trust assets, customer credit trust assets and other trust assets are composed primarily of equity and fixed-income securities and also include short-term investments that are money market funds classified as Level 1.\n\nGlobal equity securities primarily include investments in common stock that are valued based on quoted prices in active markets and are classified as Level 1.\n\nFixed-income securities are primarily composed of U.S. government and agency securities, municipal securities, and other fixed-income securities, including corporate debt securities.  U.S. government and agency securities primarily consist of U.S. Treasury securities that are classified as Level 1 because the fair value is determined by observable market prices in active markets. A market approach is generally used to estimate the fair value of fixed-income securities classified as Level 2 using evaluated pricing data such as broker quotes, for similar securities adjusted for observable differences.  Significant inputs used in the valuation model generally include benchmark yield curves and issuer spreads.  The external credit ratings, coupon rate, and maturity of each security are considered in the valuation model, as applicable.\n\nAssets Measured at NAV Using Practical Expedient\n\nInvestments in the nuclear decommissioning trusts and the long-term disability trust that are measured at fair value using the NAV per share practical expedient have not been classified in the fair value hierarchy tables above.  The fair value amounts are included in the tables above in order to reconcile to the amounts presented in the Consolidated Balance Sheets.  These investments include commingled funds that are composed of equity securities traded publicly on exchanges as well as fixed-income securities that are composed primarily of U.S. government securities, credit securities, and asset-backed securities.\n\nSelf-insurance investments\n\nInvestments held in Pacific Energy Risk Solutions, LLC and Pacific Casualty Insurance Company, LLC primarily include short-term investments that are U.S. government securities classified as Level 1.\n\nPrice Risk Management Instruments\n\nPrice risk management instruments include physical and financial derivative contracts, such as power purchase agreements, forwards, futures, swaps, options, and CRRs that are traded either on an exchange or over-the-counter.\n\nPower purchase agreements, forwards, and swaps are valued using a discounted cash flow model.  Exchange-traded futures that are valued using observable market forward prices for the underlying commodity are classified as Level 1.  Over-the-counter forwards and swaps that are identical to exchange-traded futures or are valued using forward prices from broker quotes that are corroborated with market data are classified as Level 2.  Exchange-traded options are valued using observable market data and market-corroborated data and are classified as Level 2.\n\nLong-dated power purchase agreements that are valued using significant unobservable data are classified as Level 3. These Level 3 contracts are valued using either estimated basis adjustments from liquid trading points or techniques, including extrapolation from observable prices, when a contract term extends beyond a period for which market data is available.  The Utility utilizes models to derive pricing inputs for the valuation of the Utility’s Level 3 instruments using pricing inputs from brokers and historical data.\n\nThe Utility holds CRRs to hedge the financial risk of CAISO-imposed congestion charges in the day-ahead market.  Limited market data is available in the CAISO auction and between auction dates; therefore, the Utility utilizes historical prices to forecast forward prices. CRRs are classified as Level 3.\n\nLevel 3 Measurements and Uncertainty Analysis\n\nInputs used and the fair value of Level 3 instruments are reviewed period-over-period and compared with market conditions to determine reasonableness.\n\n122\n\nSignificant increases or decreases in any of those inputs would result in a significantly higher or lower fair value, respectively.  All reasonable costs related to Level 3 instruments are expected to be recoverable through rates; therefore, there is no impact on net income resulting from changes in the fair value of these instruments.  See Note 10 above.\n\n Fair Value\n(in millions)   \n\nAt December 31, 2025Valuation\nTechniqueUnobservable\nInput \n\nFair Value MeasurementAssetsLiabilities\n Range (1)/Weighted-Average Price (2)\n\nCongestion revenue rights$252 $83 Market approachCRR auction prices\n$ (74) - 74 / 2\n\nPower purchase agreements$31 $47 Discounted cash flowForward prices\n$ 11 - 106 / 53\n\n(1) Represents price per MWh.\n\n(2) Unobservable inputs were weighted by the relative fair value of the instruments.\n\n Fair Value\n(in millions)   \n\nAt December 31, 2024Valuation\nTechniqueUnobservable\nInput \n\nFair Value MeasurementAssetsLiabilities\n Range (1)/Weighted-Average Price (2)\n\nCongestion revenue rights$366 $121 Market approachCRR auction prices\n$ (951) - 50,044 / 2\n\nPower purchase agreements$17 $127 Discounted cash flowForward prices\n$ 0 - 126 / 47\n\n(1) Represents price per MWh.\n\n(2) Unobservable inputs were weighted by the relative fair value of the instruments.\n\nLevel 3 Reconciliation\n\nThe following table presents the reconciliation for Level 3 price risk management instruments for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024:\n\n Price Risk Management Instruments\n\n(in millions)20252024\n\nAsset balance as of January 1$127 $191 \n\nNet realized and unrealized gains (losses):\n\nIncluded in regulatory assets and liabilities or balancing accounts (1)\n26 (64)\n\nAsset balance as of December 31$153 $127 \n\n(1) The costs related to price risk management activities are recovered through rates. Accordingly, unrealized gains and losses are deferred in regulatory liabilities and assets, and net income is not impacted.\n\nFinancial Instruments\n\nPG&E Corporation and the Utility use the following methods and assumptions in estimating fair value for financial instruments: the fair values of cash, net accounts receivable, short-term borrowings, accounts payable, and customer deposits approximate their carrying values as of December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, as they are short-term in nature.\n\nThe carrying amount and fair value of PG&E Corporation’s and the Utility’s long-term debt instruments were as follows (the table below excludes financial instruments with carrying values that approximate their fair values):\n\n \nAt December 31, 2025\n\nAt December 31,

BENEFIT PLANS\n\nPension Plan and Postretirement Benefits Other than Pensions (“PBOP”)\n\nPG&E Corporation and the Utility sponsor a non-contributory defined benefit pension plan for eligible employees hired before December 31, 2012 and a cash balance plan for those eligible employees hired after this date or who made a one-time election to participate (“Pension Plan”).  Certain trusts underlying these plans are qualified trusts under the IRC.  If certain conditions are met, PG&E Corporation and the Utility can deduct payments made to the qualified trusts, subject to certain limitations.  PG&E Corporation’s and the Utility’s funding policy is to contribute tax-deductible amounts, consistent with applicable regulatory decisions and federal minimum funding requirements.  On an annual basis, the Utility funds the pension plan up to the amount it is authorized to recover through rates.\n\nPG&E Corporation and the Utility also sponsor contributory postretirement medical plans for retirees and their eligible dependents, and non-contributory postretirement life insurance plans for eligible employees and retirees.  PG&E Corporation and the Utility use a fiscal year-end measurement date for all plans.\n\n125\n\nChange in Plan Assets, Benefit Obligations, and Funded Status\n\nThe following tables show the reconciliation of changes in plan assets, benefit obligations, and the plans’ aggregate funded status for pension benefits and other benefits for PG&E Corporation during 2025 and 2024:\n\nPension Plan\n\n(in millions)20252024\n\nChange in plan assets:\n\nFair

rate used to measure the projected benefit obligation and unfavorable changes in demographic assumptions; the actuarial gain for the year ended December 31, 2024 was due to an increase in the discount rate used to measure the projected benefit obligation, offset by an unfavorable return on plan assets and unfavorable changes in the demographic assumptions.\n\n(2) PG&E Corporation’s accumulated benefit obligation was $16.5 billion and $15.8 billion at December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.\n\n126\n\nPostretirement Benefits Other than Pensions\n\n(in millions)20252024\n\nChange in plan

unfavorable changes in claims cost, medical trends, and demographic assumptions. The actuarial gain for the year ended December 31, 2024 was primarily due to an increase in the discount rate used to measure the accumulated benefit obligations and favorable changes in demographic assumptions, offset by an unfavorable return on plan assets.\n\n(2) At December 31, 2025 and 2024, the postretirement medical plan and the postretirement life insurance plan were in overfunded positions. The projected benefit obligation and the fair value of plan assets for the postretirement life insurance plan were $274 million and $322 million as of December 31, 2025, and $261 million and $296 million as of December 31, 2024, respectively.\n\nThere was no material difference between PG&E Corporation and the Utility for the information disclosed above.\n\nComponents of Net Periodic Benefit Cost\n\nPG&E Corporation and the Utility sponsor a non-contributory defined benefit pension plan and cash balance plan.  Both plans are included in “Pension Plan” below.  Post-retirement medical and life insurance plans are included in “Postretirement Benefits Other than Pensions” below.\n\n127\n\nNet periodic benefit costs as reflected in PG&E Corporation’s Consolidated Statements of Income were as follows:\n\nPension Plan\n\n(in millions)202520242023\n\nService cost for benefits earned (1)\n$424 $396 $379 \n\nInterest cost1,007 916 913 \n\nExpected return on plan assets(1,053)(1,014)(981)\n\nAmortization of prior service cost(3)(3)(4)\n\nAmortization of net actuarial loss2 1 1 \n\nNet periodic benefit cost377 296 308 \n\nLess: transfer to regulatory account (2)\n(40)39 25 \n\nTotal expense recognized$337 $335 $333 \n\n(1) A portion of service costs are capitalized pursuant to ASC 715, Compensation - Retirement Benefits.\n\n(2) The Utility recorded these amounts to a regulatory account as they are probable of recovery through future rates.\n\nPostretirement Benefits Other than Pensions\n\n(in millions)202520242023\n\nService cost for benefits earned (1)\n$38 $41 $38 \n\nInterest cost73 71 73 \n\nExpected return on plan assets(150)(139)(132)\n\nAmortization of prior service cost3 3 3 \n\nAmortization of net actuarial gain(23)(23)(19)\n\nNet periodic benefit cost$(59)$(47)$(37)\n\n(1) A portion of service costs are capitalized pursuant to ASC 715, Compensation - Retirement Benefits.\n\nNon-service costs are reflected in Other income, net on the Consolidated Statements of Income. Service costs are reflected in Operating and maintenance on the Consolidated Statements of Income.\n\nThere was no material difference between PG&E Corporation and the Utility for the information disclosed above.\n\nComponents of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income\n\nPG&E Corporation and the Utility record unrecognized prior service costs and unrecognized gains and losses related to pension and post-retirement benefits other than pension as components of Accumulated other comprehensive income, net of tax.  In addition, regulatory adjustments are recorded in the Consolidated Statements of Income and Consolidated Balance Sheets to reflect the difference between expense or income calculated in accordance with GAAP for accounting purposes and expense or income for ratemaking purposes, which is based on authorized plan contributions.  For pension benefits, a regulatory asset or liability is recorded for amounts that would otherwise be recorded to Accumulated other comprehensive income.  For post-retirement benefits other than pension, the Utility generally records a regulatory liability for amounts that would otherwise be recorded to Accumulated other comprehensive income.  As the Utility is unable to record a regulatory asset for these other benefits, the charge remains in Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss).\n\n128\n\nValuation Assumptions\n\nThe following weighted average year-end actuarial assumptions were used in determining the plans’ projected benefit obligations and net benefit costs.\n\n Pension PlanPBOP Plans\n\n December 31,December 31,\n\n 202520242023202520242023\n\nDiscount rate5.58 %5.76 %5.21 %\n5.51 - 5.60%\n\n5.71 - 5.76%\n\n5.18 - 5.22%\n\nRate of future compensation increases4.80 %4.80 %3.80 %N/AN/AN/A\n\nExpected return on plan assets7.00 %6.40 %6.00 %\n4.30 - 7.20%\n\n3.90 - 7.20%\n\n3.70 - 7.00%\n\nInterest crediting rate for cash balance plan4.23 %4.41 %3.86 %N/AN/AN/A\n\nThe assumed health care cost trend rate as of December 31, 2025 was 7.00%, gradually decreasing to the ultimate trend rate of approximately 4.5% in 2036 and beyond.\n\nExpected rates of return on plan assets were developed by estimating future asset class returns and then applying these returns to the target asset allocations of the employee benefit plan trusts, resulting in a weighted average rate of return on plan assets.  Returns on fixed-income debt investments were projected based on maturity and credit spreads added to a long-term inflation rate.  Returns on equity investments were projected based on estimates of dividend yield and real earnings growth added to a long-term inflation rate.  For the pension plan, the assumed return of 7.0% compares to a ten-year actual return of 5.7%.  The rate used to discount pension benefits and other benefits was based on a yield curve developed from market data of over approximately 831 Aa-grade non-callable bonds at December 31, 2025.  This yield curve has discount rates that vary based on the duration of the obligations.  The estimated future cash flows for the pension benefits and other benefit obligations were matched to the corresponding rates on the yield curve to derive a weighted average discount rate.\n\nInvestment Policies and Strategies\n\nThe financial position of PG&E Corporation’s and the Utility’s funded status is the difference between the fair value of plan assets and projected benefit obligations.  Volatility in funded status occurs when asset values change differently from liability values and can result in fluctuations in costs in financial reporting, as well as the amount of minimum contributions required under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended.  PG&E Corporation’s and the Utility’s investment policies and strategies are designed to increase the ratio of trust assets to plan liabilities at an acceptable level of funded status volatility.\n\nThe trusts’ asset allocations are meant to manage volatility, reduce costs, and diversify its holdings.  Interest rate, credit, and equity risk are the key determinants of PG&E Corporation’s and the Utility’s funded status volatility.  In addition to affecting the trusts’ fixed income portfolio market values, interest rate changes also influence liability valuations as discount rates move with current bond yields.  To manage volatility, PG&E Corporation’s and the Utility’s trusts hold significant allocations in long maturity fixed-income investments. Although they contribute to funded status volatility, equity investments are held to reduce long-term funding costs due to their higher expected return.  Real assets and absolute return investments are held to diversify the trust’s holdings in equity and fixed-income investments by exhibiting returns with low correlation to the direction of these markets. Real assets include private real estate funds. Absolute return investments include hedge fund portfolios.\n\nDerivative instruments such as equity index futures are used to meet target equity exposure. Derivative instruments, such as equity index futures and U.S. treasury futures, are also used to rebalance the allocation between fixed income and equity of the pension’s portfolio. Foreign currency exchange contracts are used to hedge a portion of the non-U.S. dollar exposure of global equity investments.\n\n129\n\nThe target asset allocation percentages for major categories of trust assets for pension and other benefit plans are as follows:\n\n Pension PlanPBOP Plans\n\n 202620252024202620252024\n\nGlobal equity securities28 %26 %26 %14 %30 %29 %\n\nAbsolute return1 1 1 — — — \n\nReal assets6 8 8 3 3 3 \n\nFixed-income securities65 65 65 83 67 68 \n\nTotal100 %100 %100 %100 %100 %100 %\n\nPG&E Corporation and the Utility apply a risk management framework for managing the risks associated with employee benefit plan trust assets.  The guiding principles of this risk management framework are the clear articulation of roles and responsibilities, appropriate delegation of authority, and proper accountability and documentation.  Trust investment policies and investment manager guidelines include provisions designed to ensure prudent diversification, manage risk through appropriate use of physical direct asset holdings and derivative securities, and identify permitted and prohibited investments.\n\nFair Value Measurements\n\nThe following tables present the fair value of plan assets for pension and other benefits plans by major asset category at December 31, 2025 and 2024.\n\n Fair Value Measurements\n\n At December 31,\n\n 20252024\n\n(in millions)Level 1Level 2Level 3TotalLevel 1Level 2Level 3Total\n\nPension Plan:        \n\nShort-term investments$452 $30 $— $482 $126 $47 $— $173 \n\nGlobal equity securities1,445 — — 1,445 1,310 — — 1,310 \n\nReal assets2 — — 2 437 — — 437 \n\nFixed-income securities1,990 6,880 12 8,882 2,180 6,367 16 8,563 \n\nAssets measured at NAV— — — 7,052 — — — 6,284 \n\nTotal$3,889 $6,910 $12 $17,863 $4,053 $6,414 $16 $16,767 \n\nPBOP Plans:        \n\nShort-term investments$546 $— $— $546 $27 $— $— $27 \n\nGlobal equity securities2 — — 2 60 — — 60 \n\nReal assets— — — — 20 — — 20 \n\nFixed-income securities518 561 — 1,079 431 751 1 1,183 \n\nAssets measured at NAV— — — 946 — — — 1,181 \n\nTotal$1,066 $561 $— $2,573 $538 $751 $1 $2,471 \n\nTotal plan assets at fair value   $20,436    $19,238 \n\nValuation Techniques\n\nThe following describes the valuation techniques used to measure the fair value of the assets and liabilities shown in the table above.  All investments that are valued using a NAV per share can be redeemed quarterly with a notice not to exceed 90 days.\n\nShort-Term Investments\n\nShort-term investments consist primarily of commingled funds across government, credit, and asset-backed sectors. These securities are categorized as Level 1 and Level 2 assets.\n\n130\n\nGlobal Equity Securities\n\nThe global equity category includes investments in common stock and equity-index futures.  Equity investments in common stock are actively traded on public exchanges and are therefore considered Level 1 assets.  These equity investments are generally valued based on unadjusted prices in active markets for identical securities.  Equity-index futures are valued based on unadjusted prices in active markets and are Level 1 assets.\n\nReal Assets\n\nThe real asset category includes portfolios of private real estate funds. These funds are measured at NAV as a practical expedient.\n\nFixed-Income Securities\n\nFixed-income securities are primarily composed of U.S. government and agency securities, municipal securities, and other fixed-income securities, including corporate debt securities.  U.S. government and agency securities primarily consist of U.S. Treasury securities that are classified as Level 1 because the fair value is determined by observable market prices in active markets.  A market approach is generally used to estimate the fair value of debt securities classified as Level 2 using evaluated pricing data such as broker quotes, for similar securities adjusted for observable differences.  Significant inputs used in the valuation model generally include benchmark yield curves and issuer spreads.  The external credit ratings, coupon rate, and maturity of each security are considered in the valuation model, as applicable.\n\nAssets Measured at NAV Using Practical Expedient\n\nInvestments in the trusts that are measured at fair value using the NAV per share practical expedient have not been classified in the fair value hierarchy tables above. The fair value amounts are included in the tables above in order to reconcile to the amounts presented in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. These investments include commingled funds that are composed of equity securities traded publicly on exchanges, fixed-income securities that are composed primarily of U.S. government securities, credit securities and asset-backed securities, and real assets and absolute return investments that are held to diversify the trust’s holdings in equity and fixed-income securities.\n\nTransfers Between Levels\n\nNo material transfers between levels occurred in the years ended December 31, 2025 or 2024.\n\n131\n\nLevel 3 Reconciliation\n\nThe following table is a reconciliation of changes in the fair value of instruments for the pension plan that have been classified as Level 3 for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024:\n\n(in millions)\n\nFor the year ended December 31, 2025\nFixed-Income\n\nBalance at beginning of year$16 \n\nActual return on plan assets:\n\nRelating to assets still held at the reporting date7 \n\nRelating to assets sold during the period(7)\n\nPurchases, issuances, sales, and settlements:\n\nPurchases6 \n\nSettlements(10)\n\nBalance at end of year$12 \n\n  \n\n(in millions)\n\nFor the year ended December 31, 2024\nFixed-Income\n\nBalance at beginning of year$13 \n\nActual return on plan assets:\n\nRelating to assets still held at the reporting date9 \n\nRelating to assets sold during the period(9)\n\nPurchases, issuances, sales, and settlements:\n\nPurchases14 \n\nSettlements(11)\n\nBalance at end of year$16 \n\nThere were no material transfers out of Level 3 in 2025 or 2024.\n\nCash Flow Information\n\nEmployer Contributions\n\nPG&E Corporation and the Utility contributed $337 million to the pension benefit plans, $31 million to the long-term disability trusts, and $7 million to the other postretirement benefit plans in 2025.  These contributions are consistent with PG&E Corporation’s and the Utility’s funding policy, which is to contribute amounts that are tax-deductible and consistent with applicable regulatory decisions and federal minimum funding requirements. The Utility’s pension benefits met all funding requirements under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended.  PG&E Corporation and the Utility expect to make total contributions of approximately $327 million to the qualified pension plan in 2026. PG&E Corporation and the Utility plan to contribute $31 million to the long-term disability trusts in 2026, as authorized in the 2023 GRC.\n\nBenefits Payments and Receipts\n\nAs of December 31, 2025, the estimated benefits expected to be paid and the estimated federal subsidies expected to be received in each of the next five fiscal years, and in aggregate for the five fiscal years thereafter, are as follows:\n\n(in millions)Pension\nPlanPBOP\nPlansFederal\nSubsidy\n\n2026993 84 (1)\n\n20271,082 86 (1)\n\n20281,110 90 (1)\n\n20291,136 93 (1)\n\n20301,161 96 (1)\n\n2031-20356,159 523 (6)\n\n132\n\nThere were no material differences between the estimated benefits expected to be paid by PG&E Corporation and the Utility for the years presented above.  There were also no material differences between the estimated subsidies expected to be received by PG&E Corporation and the Utility for the years presented above.\n\nRetirement Savings Plan\n\nPG&E Corporation sponsors a retirement savings plan, which qualifies as a 401(k) defined contribution benefit plan under the IRC. This plan permits eligible employees to make pre-tax and after-tax contributions into the plan and provides for employer contributions to be made to eligible participants.  Total expenses recognized for defined contribution benefit plans reflected in PG&E Corporation’s Consolidated Statements of Income were $194 million, $175 million, and $158 million in 2025, 2024, and 2023, respectively. PG&E Corporation’s default matching contributions under its 401(k) plan are in cash.\n\nThere were no material differences between the employer contribution expense for PG&E Corporation and the Utility for the years presented above.\n\nNOTE 13: RELATED PARTY AGREEMENTS AND TRANSACTIONS\n\nThe Utility and other subsidiaries provide and receive various services to and from their parent, PG&E Corporation, and among themselves. The Utility and PG&E Corporation exchange administrative and professional services in support of operations.  Services provided directly to PG&E Corporation by the Utility are priced at the higher of fully loaded cost (i.e., direct cost of good or service and allocation of overhead costs) plus five percent of direct labor costs or fair market value, depending on the nature of the services.  Services provided directly to the Utility by PG&E Corporation are priced at the lower of fully loaded cost or fair market value. PG&E Corporation also allocates various corporate administrative and general costs to the Utility and other subsidiaries using agreed-upon allocation factors, including the number of employees, operating and maintenance expenses, total assets, and other cost allocation methodologies. Management believes that the methods used to allocate expenses are reasonable and meet the reporting and accounting requirements of its regulatory agencies.\n\nNOTE 14: WILDFIRE-RELATED CONTINGENCIES\n\nLiability Overview\n\nPG&E Corporation and the Utility have significant contingencies arising from their operations, including contingencies related to wildfires. PG&E Corporation and the Utility record a provision for a loss contingency when they determine that it is both probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the liability can be reasonably estimated. PG&E Corporation and the Utility record a wildfire-related liability when they determine that a loss is probable, and they can reasonably estimate the loss or a range of losses. The provision is based on the lower end of the range, unless an amount within the range is a better estimate than any other amount.\n\nAssessing whether a loss is probable or reasonably possible, whether the loss or a range of losses is estimable, and the amount of the accrual often requires management to exercise significant judgment about future events. Management makes these assessments based on a number of assumptions and subjective factors, including negotiations (including those during mediations with claimants), discovery, settlements and payments, rulings, advice of legal counsel, and other information and events pertaining to a particular matter, and estimates based on currently available information and prior experience with wildfires. Unless expressly noted otherwise, the estimated liabilities in this Note reflect the lower end of the range of the reasonably estimable range of losses. PG&E Corporation and the Utility believe that it is reasonably possible that the amount of loss could be greater than the accrued estimated amounts but are unable to reasonably estimate the additional loss or the upper end of the range because, as described below, there are a number of unknown facts and legal considerations that may impact the amount of any potential liability, including the total scope and nature of claims that may be asserted against PG&E Corporation and the Utility.\n\nLoss contingencies are reviewed quarterly, and estimates are adjusted to reflect the impact of all known information. As more information becomes available, including from potential claimants as litigation or resolution efforts progress, management estimates and assumptions regarding the potential financial impacts of wildfire events may change. For instance, PG&E Corporation and the Utility receive additional information with respect to damages claimed as the claims mediation and trial processes progress. PG&E Corporation’s and the Utility’s provision for loss and expense excludes anticipated outside counsel costs, which are expensed as incurred. PG&E Corporation’s and the Utility’s financial condition, results of operations, liquidity, and cash flows may be materially affected by the outcome of the following matters.\n\n133\n\nPotential liabilities related to wildfires depend on various factors, including the cause of the fire, contributing causes of the fire (including alternative potential origins, weather- and climate-related issues, and forest management and fire suppression practices), the number, size and type of structures damaged or destroyed, the contents of such structures and other personal property damage, the number and types of trees damaged or destroyed, attorneys’ fees for claimants, the nature and extent of any personal injuries, including the loss of lives, the amount of fire suppression and clean-up costs, other damages the Utility may be responsible for if found negligent, and the amount of any penalties, fines, or restitution that may be imposed by courts or other governmental entities.\n\nThe complaints include claims based on multiple theories of liability, including inverse condemnation, negligence, violations of the Public Utilities Code, violations of the Health & Safety Code, premises liability, trespass, public nuisance, and private nuisance. The plaintiffs in each action principally assert that PG&E Corporation’s and the Utility’s alleged failure to properly maintain, inspect, and de-energize their power lines and equipment was the cause of the relevant wildfire. The timing and outcome for resolution of any such claims or investigations are uncertain. The Utility believes it will continue to receive additional information from potential claimants in connection with these wildfire events as litigation or resolution efforts progress. Although PG&E Corporation and the Utility may receive further complaints, the applicable statutes of limitations have expired, except for the statutes of limitations applicable to federal fire suppression claims for the 2021 Dixie fire and the 2022 Mosquito fire, which expire in 2027 and 2028, respectively. Any such additional information may potentially allow PG&E Corporation and the Utility to refine the estimates of their accrued losses and may result in changes to the accrual depending on the information received. PG&E Corporation and the Utility intend to vigorously defend themselves against both criminal charges and civil complaints.\n\nIf the Utility’s facilities, such as its electric distribution and transmission lines, are judicially determined to be the substantial cause of the following matters, and the doctrine of inverse condemnation applies, the Utility could be liable for property damage, business interruption, interest, and attorneys’ fees without having been found negligent. California courts have imposed liability under the doctrine of inverse condemnation in legal actions brought by property holders against utilities on the grounds that losses borne by the person whose property was damaged through a public use undertaking should be spread across the community that benefited from such undertaking, and based on the assumption that utilities have the ability to recover these costs through rates. Further, California courts have determined that the doctrine of inverse condemnation is applicable regardless of whether the CPUC ultimately allows recovery by the utility for any such costs. The CPUC may decide not to authorize cost recovery even if a court decision were to determine that the Utility is liable as a result of the application of the doctrine of inverse condemnation. In addition to claims for property damage, business interruption, interest, and attorneys’ fees under inverse condemnation, PG&E Corporation and the Utility could be liable for fire suppression costs, evacuation costs, medical expenses, personal injury damages, punitive damages and other damages under other theories of liability in connection with the following wildfire events, including if PG&E Corporation or the Utility were found to have been negligent.\n\nThe Utility has made claims to the Wildfire Fund for claims paid in excess of $1.0 billion. Claims related to the 2019 Kincade fire are subject to the 40% limitation on the allowed amount of claims arising before emergence from bankruptcy. PG&E Corporation and the Utility intend to continue to review the available information and other information as it becomes available, including evidence in the possession of Cal Fire, USFS, or the relevant district attorney’s office, evidence from or held by other parties, claims that have not yet been submitted, and additional information about the nature and extent of personal and business property damages and losses, the nature, number and severity of personal injuries, and information made available through the discovery process.\n\nThe following table presents the cumulative amounts PG&E Corporation and the Utility have paid through December 31, 2025.\n\nPayments (in millions)\n\n2019 Kincade Fire\n$1,287 \n\n2021 Dixie Fire1,908 \n\n2022 Mosquito Fire107 \n\nTotal at December 31, 2025\n$3,302 \n\n134\n\n2019 Kincade Fire\n\nAccording to Cal Fire, on October 23, 2019 at approximately 9:27 p.m. Pacific Time, a wildfire began northeast of Geyserville in Sonoma County, California (the “2019 Kincade fire”), located in the service area of the Utility. According to a Cal Fire incident update dated March 3, 2020, 3:35 p.m. Pacific Time, the 2019 Kincade fire consumed 77,758 acres and resulted in no fatalities, four first responder injuries, 374 structures destroyed, and 60 structures damaged. In connection with the 2019 Kincade fire, state and local officials issued numerous mandatory evacuation orders and evacuation warnings. Based on County of Sonoma information, PG&E Corporation and the Utility understand that the geographic zones subject to either a mandatory evacuation order or an evacuation warning between October 23, 2019 and November 4, 2019 included approximately 200,000 persons.\n\nOn July 16, 2020, Cal Fire issued a press release with its determination that the Utility’s equipment caused the 2019 Kincade fire.\n\nAs of February 4, 2026, PG&E Corporation and the Utility are aware of approximately 135 complaints on behalf of at least 3,014 plaintiffs related to the 2019 Kincade fire. The plaintiffs filed master complaints on July 16, 2021; PG&E Corporation’s and the Utility’s response was filed on August 16, 2021; and PG&E Corporation and the Utility filed a demurrer with respect to the plaintiffs’ inverse condemnation claims. On December 10, 2021, the court overruled the demurrer. On July 20, 2022, PG&E Corporation and the Utility filed a motion for summary adjudication on individual plaintiffs’ claims for punitive damages. On July 14, 2024, the court vacated the bellwether trial date that had been scheduled for August 26, 2024, as well as the hearing on the motion for summary adjudication.\n\nOn October 11, 2022, the Utility entered into a tolling agreement with Cal OES, extending their time to file a complaint.\n\nBased on the current state of the law concerning inverse condemnation in California and the facts and circumstances available to PG&E Corporation and the Utility as of the date of this filing, including Cal Fire’s determination of the cause and the information gathered as part of PG&E Corporation’s and the Utility’s investigation, PG&E Corporation and the Utility believe it is probable that they will incur a loss in connection with the 2019 Kincade fire. PG&E Corporation and the Utility recorded a liability in the aggregate amount of $1.225 billion as of December 31, 2024 (before available insurance). In each of the first and second quarters of 2025, PG&E Corporation and the Utility recorded additional charges of $50 million, for an aggregate liability of $1.325 billion (before available insurance).\n\nPG&E Corporation’s and the Utility’s accrued estimated losses represent the best estimate of the liability and do not include any claims related to Cal OES or any punitive damages.\n\nThe following table presents changes in the best estimate of PG&E Corporation’s and the Utility’s reasonably estimable losses, net of payments, for claims arising from the 2019 Kincade fire since December 31, 2024.\n\nLoss Accrual (in millions)\n\nBalance at December 31, 2024\n$267 \n\nAccrued Losses100 \n\nPayments(329)\n\nBalance at December 31, 2025\n$38 \n\nThe Utility has fully collected its liability insurance coverage for third-party liability attributable to the 2019 Kincade fire, which was for an aggregate amount of $430 million.\n\nAs of December 31, 2025, the Utility received $111 million from the Wildfire Fund related to 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 Consolidated Balance Sheets. See “Wildfire Fund Recoveries under AB 1054 and SB 254” below.\n\n135\n\n2021 Dixie Fire\n\nAccording to the Cal Fire Investigation Report on the 2021 Dixie fire (the “Cal Fire Investigation Report”), on July 13, 2021, at approximately 5:07 p.m. Pacific Time, a wildfire began in the Feather River Canyon near Cresta Dam (the “2021 Dixie fire”), located in the service area of the Utility. According to the Cal Fire Investigation Report, the 2021 Dixie fire consumed 963,309 acres and resulted in 1,311 structures destroyed and 94 structures damaged (including 763 residential homes, 12 multi-family homes, 8 commercial residential homes, 148 nonresidential commercial structures, and 466 detached structures), and four first-responder injuries. The Cal Fire Investigation Report does not attribute a fatality that was previously published in an October 25, 2021 Cal Fire incident report to the 2021 Dixie fire.\n\nOn January 4, 2022, Cal Fire issued a press release with its determination that the 2021 Dixie fire was caused by a tree contacting electrical distribution lines owned and operated by the Utility. On June 7, 2022, the Utility received a copy of the Cal Fire Investigation Report, which states that the fire ignited when a tree fell and contacted electrical distribution lines owned and operated by the Utility, and the Cal Fire Investigation Report has been made publicly available. The Cal Fire Investigation Report alleges that the Utility acted negligently in its response to the initial outage and fault that caused the 2021 Dixie fire. The Cal Fire Investigation Report also alleges that the subject tree had visible outward signs of damage and decay which would have been noticeable at the ground level, and that a brief visual inspection should have discovered the decay. Based on the information currently available to the Utility, through its ongoing investigation, including its inspection records, operating and inspection protocols and procedures, implementation of those protocols and procedures, and day-of-event response, the Utility believes its personnel acted reasonably (within the meaning of the applicable prudency standard discussed under “Regulatory Recovery” below) given the information available at the time and followed applicable policies and protocols both before ignition and in the day-of-event response. While an intervenor in a future cost recovery proceeding may argue the Cal Fire Investigation Report itself creates serious doubt with respect to the reasonableness of the Utility’s conduct, PG&E Corporation and the Utility do not believe the report identifies sufficient facts to shift the burden of proof applicable in a proceeding for cost recovery to the Utility. (See “Regulatory Recovery” and “Wildfire Fund Recoveries under AB 1054 and SB 254” below.) PG&E Corporation and the Utility disagree with many allegations in the Cal Fire Investigation Report and plan to vigorously contest them. However, if the CPUC or the FERC were to reach conclusions similar to those of the Cal Fire Investigation Report, it may determine that the Utility had been imprudent, in which case some or all of its costs recorded to the WEMA would not be recoverable, the Utility would not be able to recover costs through FERC TO rates, or the Utility would be required to reimburse the Wildfire Fund for the costs and expenses that are allocated to it.\n\nAs of February 4, 2026, PG&E Corporation and the Utility are aware of approximately 189 complaints on behalf of at least 9,034 individual plaintiffs related to the 2021 Dixie fire. The plaintiffs seek damages that include wrongful death, property damage, economic loss, medical monitoring, punitive damages, exemplary damages, attorneys’ fees and other damages. A trial with respect to one plaintiff has been scheduled for December 2, 2026. The court has scheduled and vacated numerous bellwether trial dates, including the previously scheduled bellwether trial date of June 23, 2025. No bellwether trial is scheduled. Pursuant to an agreed-upon alternative dispute resolution protocol, a voluntary process for plaintiffs to mediate their cases, when a mediation does not resolve a plaintiff’s case, the plaintiff can opt to pursue a “damages-only” trial. One request for the court to set a damages-only trial is pending; the court has vacated all other previously scheduled damages-only trial dates.\n\nCal Fire filed a complaint against the Utility to recover suppression and investigation costs on June 30, 2023. The Utility filed an amended answer to the complaint on September 30, 2024. On October 10, 2024, Cal Fire filed a demurrer and motion to strike portions of the amended answer. On February 7, 2025, the court issued a ruling sustaining Cal Fire’s demurrer and striking portions of the Utility’s amended answer. On April 7, 2025, the Utility filed a petition for writ of mandate in the California First District Court of Appeal, seeking an order directing the trial court to reverse the ruling on Cal Fire’s demurrer and motion to strike. On April 30, 2025, in response to the Court of Appeal’s request, Cal Fire filed an opposition to the Utility’s writ. The Utility filed a reply to the opposition on May 9, 2025. As of February 4, 2026, the writ remains pending with the Court of Appeal.\n\nOn February 7, 2023, the Utility entered into a tolling agreement with Cal OES, extending the agency’s time to file a complaint. That tolling agreement remains in effect.\n\nPG&E Corporation and the Utility are aware of a separate putative class complaint, primarily seeking relief in the form of medical monitoring. On January 28, 2026, plaintiffs filed their fifth amended complaint in that case. On December 12, 2025, plaintiffs filed their motion for class certification, and the hearing date on the motion is scheduled for June 18, 2026.\n\n136\n\nBased on the current state of the law concerning inverse condemnation in California and the facts and circumstances available to PG&E Corporation and the Utility as of the date of this filing, including Cal Fire’s determination of the cause and the information gathered as part of PG&E Corporation’s and the Utility’s investigation, PG&E Corporation and the Utility believe it is probable that they will incur a loss in connection with the 2021 Dixie fire. PG&E Corporation and the Utility recorded a liability in the aggregate amount of $1.925 billion as of December 31, 2024 (before available recoveries). Based on the facts and circumstances available to PG&E Corporation and the Utility as of the date of this filing, including their experience with settlements, PG&E Corporation and the Utility recorded additional charges during 2025 of $225 million, of which $25 million was recorded in the fourth quarter, for an aggregate liability of $2.150 billion (before available recoveries).\n\nPG&E Corporation’s and the Utility’s accrued estimated losses of $2.150 billion do not include, among other things: (i) any amounts for potential penalties or fines that may be imposed by courts or other governmental entities on PG&E Corporation or the Utility, (ii) any punitive damages, (iii) any amounts in respect of compensation claims by federal or state agencies other than Cal Fire, including for fire suppression costs and damages related to federal land, (iv) class action medical monitoring costs, or (v) any other amounts that are not reasonably estimable.\n\nAs noted above, the aggregate estimated liability for claims in connection with the 2021 Dixie fire does not include potential claims for fire suppression costs, other than Cal Fire, or damage to land and vegetation in national parks or national forests. As to these damages, PG&E Corporation and the Utility have not concluded that a loss is probable. PG&E Corporation and the Utility are unable to reasonably estimate the range of possible losses for any such claims due to, among other factors, incomplete information as to facts pertinent to potential claims and defenses, as well as facts that would bear on the amount, type, and valuation of vegetation loss, potential reforestation, habitat loss, and other resources damaged or destroyed by the 2021 Dixie fire. PG&E Corporation and the Utility believe, however, that such losses could be significant with respect to fire suppression costs due to the size and duration of the 2021 Dixie fire and corresponding magnitude of fire suppression resources dedicated to fighting the 2021 Dixie fire and with respect to claims for damage to land and vegetation in national parks or national forests due to the very large number of acres of national parks and national forests that were affected by the 2021 Dixie fire. According to the Cal Fire Investigation Report, over $650 million of costs had been incurred in suppressing the 2021 Dixie fire. The Utility estimates that the fire burned approximately 70,000 acres of national parks and approximately 685,000 acres of national forests.\n\nThe following table presents changes in PG&E Corporation’s and the Utility’s reasonably estimable losses, net of payments, for claims arising from the 2021 Dixie fire since December 31, 2024.\n\nLoss Accrual (in millions)\n\nBalance at December 31, 2024\n$567 \n\nAccrued Losses225 \n\nPayments(549)\n\nBalance at December 31, 2025\n$243 \n\nAs of December 31, 2025, the Utility recorded an insurance receivable of $521 million for probable insurance recoveries in connection with the 2021 Dixie fire.\n\nThe Utility recorded an aggregate Wildfire Fund receivable of $1.150 billion for probable recoveries in connection with the 2021 Dixie fire, of which it had received $851 million as of December 31, 2025. AB 1054 provides that the CPUC may allocate costs and expenses in the application for cost recovery in full or in part taking into account factors both within and beyond the utility’s control that may have exacerbated the costs and expenses, including humidity, temperature, and winds. PG&E Corporation and the Utility believe that, even if it found that the Utility acted unreasonably, the CPUC would nevertheless authorize recovery in part. See “Wildfire Fund Recoveries under AB 1054 and SB 254” below. As of December 31, 2025, the Utility also recorded a $97 million reduction to its regulatory liability for wildfire-related claims costs that were determined to be probable of recovery through the FERC TO formula rate and a $535 million regulatory asset for costs that were determined to be probable of recovery through the WEMA. See “Regulatory Recovery” below. Decreases in the amount of the insurance receivable for the 2021 Dixie fire may also increase the amount that is probable of recovery through the FERC TO formula rate and the WEMA.\n\n137\n\n2022 Mosquito Fire\n\nOn September 6, 2022, at approximately 6:17 p.m. Pacific Time, the Utility was notified that a wildfire had ignited near Oxbow Reservoir in Placer County, California (the “2022 Mosquito fire”), located in the service area of the Utility. The National Wildfire Coordinating Group’s InciWeb incident overview dated November 4, 2022 at 6:30 p.m. Pacific Time indicated that the 2022 Mosquito fire had consumed approximately 76,788 acres at that time. It also indicated no fatalities, no injuries, 78 structures destroyed, and 13 structures damaged (including 44 residential homes and 40 detached structures) and that the fire was 100% contained.\n\nThe USFS has indicated to the Utility an initial assessment that the fire started in the area of the Utility’s power line on National Forest System lands and that the USFS is conducting a criminal investigation into the 2022 Mosquito fire. On September 24, 2022, the USFS removed and took possession of one of the Utility’s transmission poles and attached equipment. The USFS has not issued a determination as to the cause.\n\nThe cause of the 2022 Mosquito fire remains under investigation by the USFS, the United States Department of Justice, and the CPUC. PG&E Corporation and the Utility are cooperating with the investigations. It is uncertain when any such investigations will be complete. PG&E Corporation and the Utility are also conducting their own investigation into the cause of the 2022 Mosquito fire. This investigation is ongoing.\n\nAs of February 4, 2026, PG&E Corporation and the Utility are aware of approximately 35 complaints on behalf of at least 2,939 individual plaintiffs related to the 2022 Mosquito fire. Placer County Water Agency (“PCWA”), Middle Fork Project Finance Authority, and a group of six public entities have each filed complaints. The plaintiffs seek damages that include property damage, economic loss, punitive damages, exemplary damages, attorneys’ fees, and other damages. In January 2026, PG&E Corporation and the Utility entered into settlement agreements with five public entities. The court has set individual claimant bellwether trial dates for April 13, 2026.\n\nOn May 28, 2025, the Utility executed an amendment to a tolling agreement with Cal OES, extending the agency’s time to file a complaint. That tolling agreement remains in effect.\n\nOn August 21, 2025, Cal Fire filed a complaint against the Utility for fire suppression and investigation costs.\n\nBased on the current state of the law concerning inverse condemnation in California and the facts and circumstances available to PG&E Corporation and the Utility as of the date of this filing, including the information gathered as part of PG&E Corporation’s and the Utility’s investigation, PG&E Corporation and the Utility believe it is probable that they will incur a loss in connection with the 2022 Mosquito fire. PG&E Corporation and the Utility recorded a liability in the aggregate amount of $100 million as of December 31, 2024 (before available recoveries). During 2025, PG&E Corporation and the Utility recorded additional charges of $250 million, of which $100 million was recorded in the fourth quarter, for an aggregate liability of $350 million (before available recoveries).\n\nPG&E Corporation’s and the Utility’s accrued estimated losses do not include, among other things: (i) any amounts for potential penalties or fines that may be imposed by courts or other governmental entities on PG&E Corporation or the Utility, (ii) any punitive damages, (iii) amounts in respect of compensation claims by federal agencies for federal fire suppression costs and damages related to federal land, other than claims by PCWA or (iv) any other amounts that are not reasonably estimable.\n\nAs noted above, the aggregate estimated liability for claims in connection with the 2022 Mosquito fire does not include potential claims for fire suppression costs from federal agencies or damage to land and vegetation in national parks or national forests. As to these damages, PG&E Corporation and the Utility have not concluded that a loss is probable. PG&E Corporation and the Utility are unable to reasonably estimate the range of possible losses for any such claims due to, among other factors, incomplete information as to facts pertinent to potential claims and defenses, as well as facts that would bear on the amount, type, and valuation of vegetation loss, potential reforestation, habitat loss, and other resources damaged or destroyed by the 2022 Mosquito fire.\n\n138\n\nThe following table presents changes in PG&E Corporation’s and the Utility’s reasonably estimable losses, net of payments, for claims arising from the 2022 Mosquito fire since December 31, 2024.\n\nLoss Accrual (in millions)\n\nBalance at December 31, 2024\n$82 \n\nAccrued Losses250 \n\nPayments(89)\n\nBalance at December 31, 2025\n$243 \n\nAs of December 31, 2025, the Utility recorded an insurance receivable of $363 million for probable insurance recoveries in connection with the 2022 Mosquito fire, including claims and legal fees. As of December 31, 2025, the Utility also recorded a $7 million reduction to its regulatory liability for wildfire-related claims costs that were determined to be probable of recovery through the FERC TO formula rate and a $54 million regulatory asset for costs that were determined to be probable of recovery through the WEMA. See “Regulatory Recovery” below.\n\nLoss Recoveries\n\nPG&E Corporation and the Utility have recovery mechanisms available for wildfire liabilities including from insurance, through rates, and from the Wildfire Fund. PG&E Corporation and the Utility record a receivable for a recovery when it is deemed probable that recovery of a recorded loss will occur, and the Utility can reasonably estimate the amount or its range. While the Utility plans to seek recovery of all insured losses, it is unable to predict the ultimate amount and timing of such recoveries. For more information on the applicable facts and circumstances of the corresponding wildfires, see “2019 Kincade Fire,” “2021 Dixie Fire,” and “2022 Mosquito Fire.”\n\nTotal probable recoveries for the 2021 Dixie fire and the 2022 Mosquito fire as of December 31, 2025 are:\n\nPotential Recovery Source (in millions)2021 Dixie fire2022 Mosquito fire\n\nInsurance$521 $363 \n\nFERC TO rates\n97 7 \n\nWEMA\n535 54 \n\nWildfire Fund\n1,150 — \n\nProbable recoveries at December 31, 2025 (1)\n$2,303 $424 \n\n(1) Includes legal costs of $148 million and $73 million related to the 2021 Dixie fire and 2022 Mosquito fire, respectively, as of December 31, 2025.\n\nThe Utility could be subject to significant liability in connection with these wildfire events. If such liability is not recoverable from insurance or the other mechanisms described in this section, it could have a material impact on PG&E Corporation’s and the Utility’s financial condition, results of operations, liquidity, and cash flows.\n\nInsurance\n\nSelf-Insurance\n\nSince August 2023, the Utility’s wildfire liability insurance for amounts up to $1.0 billion has been entirely based on self-insurance and will remain as such through at least 2026. The self-insurance program includes a 5% deductible, capped at a maximum of $50 million, on claims that are incurred each year.\n\nInsurance Receivable\n\nAs of December 31, 2025, PG&E Corporation and the Utility have recorded total probable insurance recoveries of $521 million and $363 million in connection with the 2021 Dixie fire and the 2022 Mosquito fire, respectively. PG&E Corporation and the Utility intend to seek full recovery for all insured losses.\n\n139\n\nThe balances for insurance receivables with respect to wildfires are included in Other accounts receivable in PG&E Corporation’s and the Utility’s Consolidated Balance Sheets. The following table presents changes in accrued insurance recoveries, net of reimbursements received, for the 2021 Dixie fire and 2022 Mosquito fire since December 31, 2024:\n\nInsurance Receivable (in millions)2021 Dixie fire2022 Mosquito fireTotal\n\nBalance at December 31, 2024\n$27 $90 $117 \n\nAccrued insurance recoveries\n(6)273 267 \n\nReimbursements\n(20)(82)(102)\n\nBalance at December 31, 2025\n$1 $281 $282 \n\nRegulatory Recovery\n\nSection 451.1 of the Public Utilities Code provides that when determining an application to recover costs and expenses arising from a covered wildfire, the CPUC shall allow cost recovery if the costs and expenses are just and reasonable (i.e., the “prudency standard”). AB 1054 states that a utility with a valid safety certification for the time period in which a covered wildfire ignited “shall be deemed to have been reasonable” unless “a party to the proceeding creates a serious doubt as to the reasonableness of the electrical corporation’s conduct,” in which case the burden shifts to the utility to prove its conduct was reasonable. The Utility had a valid safety certification at the time of the 2021 Dixie fire and the 2022 Mosquito fire, so any analysis of cost recovery starts with this reasonableness presumption. AB 1054 also allows the CPUC to allocate costs and expenses “in full or in part taking into account factors both within and beyond the Utility’s control that may have exacerbated the costs and expenses, including humidity, temperature, and winds.”\n\nThe Utility’s recorded receivables under the WEMA and with respect to the Wildfire Fund take into account this revised prudency standard and the presumption of reasonableness of the Utility’s conduct, based on the Utility’s interpretation of AB 1054 and the information currently available to the Utility. Although the concept of “serious doubt” has been applied in other regulatory proceedings, such as FERC proceedings, the revised prudency standard under AB 1054 has not been interpreted or applied by the CPUC and it is possible that the CPUC could interpret or apply the standard differently, in which case the Utility may not be able to recover all or a portion of expenses that it has recorded as a receivable.\n\nFERC TO Rates\n\nThe Utility recognizes income and reduces its regulatory liability for potential refund through future FERC TO formula rates for a portion of the third-party wildfire-related claims in excess of insurance coverage. The FERC presumes that a utility’s expenditures are prudent and permits cost recovery unless a party raises a serious doubt regarding the prudency of such costs. The allocation to transmission customers was based on a FERC-approved allocation factor as determined in the formula rate. Based on information currently available to the Utility regarding the 2021 Dixie fire and the 2022 Mosquito fire, as of December 31, 2025, the Utility recorded reductions of $97 million and $7 million, respectively, to its regulatory liability for wildfire-related claims costs that were determined to be probable of recovery through the FERC TO formula rate.\n\nWEMA\n\nThe WEMA provides for tracking of incremental wildfire claims, outside legal costs, and insurance premiums above those authorized in rates. With respect to wildfire claims and outside legal costs, the Utility expects that the same prudency standard as applies to the Wildfire Fund would also be applied in any CPUC review of an application filed by the Utility seeking recovery of such costs recorded to the WEMA. See “Wildfire Fund Recoveries under AB 1054 and SB 254” below. As of December 31, 2025, based on information currently available to the Utility, incremental wildfire claims-related costs for the 2021 Dixie fire and the 2022 Mosquito fire were determined to be probable of recovery, and the Utility recorded $535 million and $54 million, respectively, as regulatory assets in the WEMA.\n\n140\n\nWildfire Fund Recoveries under AB 1054 and SB 254\n\nAB 1054 became law on July 12, 2019, and SB 254 became law on September 19, 2025. AB 1054 provides for the establishment of a statewide fund that will be available for eligible electric utility companies to pay eligible claims for liabilities arising from wildfires occurring after July 12, 2019 that are caused by the applicable electric utility company’s equipment, subject to the terms and conditions of AB 1054. SB 254 provides for a Continuation Account which is designed to provide additional liquidity to reimburse catastrophic wildfire-related claims that occur after September 19, 2025, subject to the terms and conditions of SB 254. Each of California’s large electric IOUs has elected to participate in the Wildfire Fund and the Continuation Account. Eligible claims are claims for third-party damages resulting from any such wildfires, limited to the portion of such claims that exceeds the greater of (i) $1.0 billion in the aggregate arising from wildfires in any coverage year and (ii) the amount of insurance coverage required to be in place for the electric utility company pursuant to Section 3293 of the Public Utilities Code, added by AB 1054. The accrued Wildfire Fund receivable as of December 31, 2025 reflects an expectation that the coverage year will be based on the calendar year.\n\nUtilities that draw from the Wildfire Fund or the Continuation Account will only be required to reimburse amounts that are determined by the CPUC in a proceeding for cost recovery not to be just and reasonable, applying the prudency standard in AB 1054 and after allocating costs and expenses for cost recovery based on relevant factors both within and outside of a utility’s control that may have exacerbated the costs and expenses. As amended by SB 254, the reimbursement requirement is subject to a disallowance cap equal to 20% of the equity portion of the utility’s electric transmission and distribution rate base in the year of the ignition. A utility would not be required to reimburse the Wildfire Fund or the Continuation Account for disallowances that exceed the disallowance cap in the aggregate in a three calendar-year period. For the Continuation Account, the amount of reimbursement would also be reduced by the amount of contributions for which the utility has not claimed a reduction. For the Utility, the disallowance cap would be approximately $4.7 billion for 2025. This disallowance cap is based on the equity portion of the Utility’s forecasted weighted-average 2025 electric transmission and distribution rate base, which is subject to adjustment based on changes in the Utility’s electric transmission and distribution rate base. The disallowance cap is inapplicable in certain circumstances, including if the Wildfire Fund administrator determines that the electric utility company’s actions or inactions that resulted in the applicable wildfire constituted “conscious or willful disregard for the rights and safety of others,” or the electric utility company failed to maintain a valid safety certification. Costs that the CPUC determines to be just and reasonable in accordance with the prudency standard in AB 1054 will not be reimbursed to the Wildfire Fund or the Continuation Account, resulting in a draw-down of the Wildfire Fund or Continuation Account, as applicable.\n\nBefore the expiration of any current safety certification, the Utility must request a new safety certification from the OEIS, which the Utility expects to be issued within 90 days if the Utility has provided documentation that it has satisfied the requirements for the safety certification pursuant to Section 8389(e) of the Public Utilities Code, added by AB 1054. An issued safety certification is valid for 12 months or until a timely request for a new safety certification is acted upon, whichever occurs later. The safety certification is separate from the CPUC’s enforcement authority and does not preclude the CPUC from pursuing remedies for safety or other applicable violations.\n\nThe Wildfire Fund is expected to be capitalized with at least $21 billion through (i) a 15-year non-bypassable charge to customers, (ii) $7.5 billion in initial contributions from California’s three large electric IOUs and (iii) $300 million in annual contributions paid by the participating utilities for a 10-year period. If the administrator determines that additional annual contributions are necessary, the Continuation Account would be capitalized with up to $18 billion, of which $9 billion would be contributed through a non-bypassable charge from customers, $5.1 billion would be contributed by the utilities, and an additional $3.9 billion would be contributed by the utilities if the administrator determines that additional contributions are needed.\n\nThe Wildfire Fund and Continuation Account will only be available for payment of eligible claims so long as they have sufficient funds remaining. Such funds could be depleted more quickly than PG&E Corporation’s and the Utility’s 20-year estimate for the life of the Wildfire Fund, including as a result of claims made by California’s other participating utilities. The Wildfire Fund is available to pay for the Utility’s eligible claims arising between July 12, 2019, the effective date of AB 1054, and September 19, 2025, the effective date of SB 254. Payments for eligible claims arising between the effective date of AB 1054 and the Utility’s emergence from Chapter 11 are subject to a limit of 40% of the allowed amount of such claims. The 40% limit does not apply to eligible claims that arise after the Utility’s emergence from Chapter 11.\n\nAB 1054 authorizes the payment of funds to a participating utility where that utility has demonstrated that it exercised reasonable business judgment in the valuation and payment of third-party claims.\n\n141\n\nPG&E Corporation and the Utility’s Wildfire Fund recoveries are reflected in Wildfire-related claims, net of recoveries in the Consolidated Statements of Income to the extent PG&E Corporation and the Utility determine that it is probable the CPUC will conclude that the Utility’s conduct was just and reasonable or when the Utility is not otherwise required to reimburse the Wildfire Fund.\n\nAs of December 31, 2025, PG&E Corporation and the Utility recorded $295 million and $4 million in Accounts receivable - Other and Other noncurrent assets, respectively, for Wildfire Fund receivables related to the 2021 Dixie fire. The following table presents changes in accrued Wildfire Fund recoveries, net of claim payments received from the Wildfire Fund, for the 2021 Dixie fire since December 31, 2024:\n\nWildfire Fund Receivable (in millions)2021 Dixie fire\n\nBalance at December 31, 2024\n$756 \n\nAccrued Wildfire Fund recoveries225 \n\nClaims paid by Wildfire Fund(682)\n\nBalance at December 31, 2025\n$299 \n\nFor more information, see Note 2 above.\n\nWildfire-Related Securities Litigation\n\nAs further described under the headings “Wildfire-Related Securities Claims in District Court” and “Wildfire-Related Securities Claims—Claims in the Bankruptcy Court Process,” PG&E Corporation and the Utility face certain wildfire-related securities claims related to the 2017 Northern California wildfires and other claims related to the 2018 Camp fire and the PSPS program in the Chapter 11 Cases (i.e., the Subordinated Claims), and certain former directors, former officers, and underwriters of certain note offerings face wildfire-related securities claims in the District Court action. The claims described under the heading “Wildfire-Related Securities Claims in District Court” are referred to as the “Wildfire-Related Non-Bankruptcy Securities Claims” and collectively with the claims described under the heading “Wildfire-Related Securities Claims—Claims in the Bankruptcy Court Process” are referred to in this section as the “Wildfire-Related Securities Claims.”\n\nBased on the facts and circumstances available to PG&E Corporation and the Utility as of the date of this filing, PG&E Corporation believes it is probable that it will incur a loss in connection with these matters. PG&E Corporation has recorded a liability in the aggregate amount of $300 million, which represents its best estimate of probable losses for the Wildfire-Related Securities Claims. PG&E Corporation believes that it is reasonably possible that the amount of loss could be greater or less than the accrued estimated amount due to the number of plaintiffs and the complexity of the litigation.\n\nWildfire-Related Securities Claims in District Court\n\nIn June 2018, two purported securities class actions were filed in the District Court, naming PG&E Corporation and certain of its former officers as defendants, entitled David C. Weston v. PG&E Corporation, et al. and Jon Paul Moretti v. PG&E Corporation, et al. The complaints alleged material misrepresentations and omissions in various PG&E Corporation public disclosures related to, among other things, vegetation management and other issues connected to the 2017 Northern California wildfires. The complaints asserted claims under Section 10(b) and Section 20(a) of the Exchange Act and Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder, and sought unspecified monetary relief, interest, attorneys’ fees and other costs. Both complaints identified a proposed class period of April 29, 2015 to June 8, 2018. On September 10, 2018, the court consolidated both cases, and the litigation is now denominated In re PG&E Corporation Securities Litigation, U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California, Case No. 18-03509. The court also appointed the Public Employee Retirement Association of New Mexico (“PERA”) as lead plaintiff. PERA filed a consolidated amended complaint on November 9, 2018. On December 14, 2018, PERA filed a second amended consolidated complaint to add allegations regarding the 2018 Camp fire, including allegations regarding transmission line safety and the PSPS program.\n\nOn February 22, 2019, a third purported securities class action was filed in the District Court, entitled York County on behalf of the York County Retirement Fund, et al. v. Rambo, et al. (the “York County Action”). The complaint named as defendants certain former officers and directors, as well as the underwriters of four public offerings of notes from 2016 to 2018. Neither PG&E Corporation nor the Utility was named as a defendant. The complaint asserted claims under Section 11 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, based on alleged material misrepresentations and omissions in connection with the note offerings related to, among other things, PG&E Corporation’s and the Utility’s vegetation management and wildfire safety measures. On May 7, 2019, the York County Action was consolidated with In re PG&E Corporation Securities Litigation.\n\n142\n\nOn May 28, 2019, the plaintiffs in the consolidated securities actions filed a third amended consolidated class action complaint, which includes the claims asserted in the previously filed actions and names as defendants certain former officers and directors and the underwriters. While PG&E Corporation and the Utility are also named as defendants, the claims against PG&E Corporation and the Utility may only be pursued in Bankruptcy Court. On October 24, 2024, the officer, director, and underwriter defendants filed renewed motions to dismiss the third amended complaint. On September 30, 2025, the District Court granted the motions to dismiss with leave to amend. On November 14, 2025, the plaintiffs filed a fourth amended consolidated class action complaint. On December 22, 2025, the officer, director, and underwriter defendants filed motions to dismiss the fourth amended complaint.\n\nOn January 10, 2026, PERA filed a motion for preliminary approval of a $100 million proposed settlement among PERA, the defendants, PG&E Corporation, and the Utility, to resolve the consolidated securities actions. The proposed settlement is subject to District Court approval. A hearing on the motion for preliminary approval in the District Court is scheduled for February 26, 2026. Putative class members would have the right to opt out of the proposed settlement.\n\nOn March 21, 2023, another group of shareholders filed a separate action in the District Court against certain former officers and directors, entitled Orbis Capital Limited et al., v. Williams et al., alleging similar claims to those alleged in In re PG&E Corporation Securities Litigation.\n\nWildfire-Related Securities Claims—Claims in the Bankruptcy Court Process\n\nPG&E Corporation and the Utility intend to resolve securities claims filed in the bankruptcy consistent with the Plan. These claims consist of pre-petition claims against PG&E Corporation or the Utility under the federal securities laws related to, among other things, allegedly misleading statements or omissions with respect to vegetation management and wildfire safety disclosures, and are classified into separate categories under the Plan, each of which is subject to subordination under the United States Bankruptcy Code. The first category of claims consists of pre-petition claims arising from or related to the trading of common stock of PG&E Corporation (such claims, with certain other similar claims against PG&E Corporation, the “HoldCo Rescission or Damage Claims”). The second category of pre-petition claims, which comprises two separate classes under the Plan, consists of claims arising from the trading of debt securities issued by PG&E Corporation and the Utility (such claims, with certain other similar claims against PG&E Corporation and the Utility, the “Subordinated Debt Claims,” and together with the HoldCo Rescission or Damage Claims, the “Subordinated Claims”).\n\nWhile PG&E Corporation and the Utility believe they have defenses to the Subordinated Claims, these defenses may not prevail and proceeds from any insurance may not be adequate to cover the full amount of the allowed claims. In that case, PG&E Corporation and the Utility will be required, pursuant to the Plan, to satisfy any such allowed claims as follows:\n\n•each holder of an allowed HoldCo Rescission or Damage Claim will receive a number of shares of common stock of PG&E Corporation equal to such holder’s HoldCo Rescission or Damage Claim Share (as such term is defined in the Plan); and\n\n•each holder of an allowed Subordinated Debt Claim will receive payment in full, in cash.\n\nPG&E Corporation and the Utility have engaged in settlement efforts with respect to the Subordinated Claims. All such settlements have been conditioned upon, among other things, resolution of that claimant’s Wildfire-Related Non-Bankruptcy Securities Claims. If any of the Subordinated Claims are ultimately not settled, PG&E Corporation and the Utility expect that those Subordinated Claims will be resolved by the Bankruptcy Court in the claims reconciliation process and treated as described above under the Plan. Under the Plan, after the Emergence Date, PG&E Corporation and the Utility have the authority to compromise, settle, object to, or otherwise resolve proofs of claim, and the Bankruptcy Court retains jurisdiction to hear disputes arising in connection with disputed claims. With respect to the Subordinated Claims, the claims reconciliation process may include litigation of the merits of such claims, including the filing of motions, fact discovery, and expert discovery. The total number and amount of allowed Subordinated Claims, if any, was not determined at the Emergence Date. To the extent any such claims are allowed, the total amount of such claims could be material, and therefore could result in (a) the issuance of a material number of shares of common stock of PG&E Corporation with respect to allowed HoldCo Rescission or Damage Claims, or (b) the payment of a material amount of cash with respect to allowed Subordinated Debt Claims. Such claims could have a material adverse impact on PG&E Corporation’s and the Utility’s financial condition, results of operations, liquidity, and cash flows.\n\n143\n\nFurther, if shares are issued in respect of allowed HoldCo Rescission or Damage Claims, it may be determined that, under the Plan, the Fire Victim Trust should receive additional shares of common stock of PG&E Corporation such that it would have owned 22.19% of the outstanding common stock of reorganized PG&E Corporation on the Emergence Date, assuming that such issuance of shares in satisfaction of the HoldCo Rescission or Damage Claims had occurred on the Emergence Date.\n\nOn January 25, 2021, the Bankruptcy Court issued an order to approve procedures to help facilitate the resolution of the Subordinated Claims. The order, among other things, established procedures allowing PG&E Corporation and the Utility to collect trading information with respect to the Subordinated Claims, to engage in an alternative dispute resolution process for resolving disputed Subordinated Claims, and to file certain omnibus claim objections with respect to the Subordinated Claims.\n\nPG&E Corporation and the Utility have worked to resolve the Subordinated Claims in accordance with procedures approved by the Bankruptcy Court, including by collecting trading information from holders of Subordinated Claims. Also, pursuant to those procedures, PG&E Corporation and the Utility have filed numerous omnibus objections in the Bankruptcy Court to certain of the Subordinated Claims. The Bankruptcy Court has entered several orders disallowing and expunging Subordinated Claims that were subject to these omnibus objections, and certain Subordinated Claims subject to these omnibus objections remain pending. PG&E Corporation and the Utility expect to continue to prosecute omnibus objections with respect to certain of the Subordinated Claims and act under the procedures approved by the Bankruptcy Court to resolve the Subordinated Claims.\n\nIndemnification Obligations\n\nTo the extent permitted by law, PG&E Corporation and the Utility have obligations to indemnify directors and officers for certain events or occurrences while a director or officer is or was serving in such capacity, which indemnification obligations may extend to the claims asserted against certain directors and officers in the securities class actions.\n\nPG&E Corporation and the Utility additionally may have indemnification obligations to the underwriters for the Utility’s note offerings, pursuant to the underwriting agreements associated with those offerings. PG&E Corporation’s and the Utility’s indemnification obligations to the officers, directors and underwriters may be limited or affected by the Chapter 11 Cases, among other things.\n\nNOTE 15: OTHER CONTINGENCIES AND COMMITMENTS\n\nPG&E Corporation and the Utility have significant contingencies arising from their operations, including contingencies related to enforcement and litigation matters and environmental remediation.  A provision for a loss contingency is recorded when it is both probable that a loss has been incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated.  PG&E Corporation and the Utility evaluate the range of reasonably estimated losses and record a provision based on the lower end of the range, unless an amount within the range is a better estimate than any other amount.  The assessments of whether a loss is probable or reasonably possible, and whether the loss or a range of loss is estimable, often involve a series of complex judgments about future events.  Loss contingencies are reviewed quarterly, and estimates are adjusted to reflect the impact of all known information, such as negotiations, discovery, settlements and payments, rulings, penalties related to regulatory compliance, advice of legal counsel, and other information and events pertaining to a particular matter.  PG&E Corporation and the Utility exclude anticipated legal costs from the provision for loss and expense these costs as incurred. The Utility also has substantial financial commitments in connection with agreements entered into to support its operating activities.  See “Purchase Commitments” below.  PG&E Corporation’s and the Utility’s financial condition, results of operations, liquidity, and cash flows may be materially affected by the outcome of the following matters.\n\nCPUC Matters\n\nWildfire and Gas Safety Costs Interim Rate Relief Subject to Refund\n\nOn June 15, 2023, the Utility filed a WGSC application with the CPUC requesting cost recovery of approximately $2.5 billion of recorded expenditures related to wildfire mitigation costs and gas safety and electric modernization costs.\n\nThe recorded expenditures for wildfire mitigation consist of $726 million in expenses and $1.5 billion in capital expenditures and cover activities during the years 2020 to 2022. The recorded expenditures for gas safety and electric modernization consist of $120 million in expenses and $118 million in capital expenditures and cover activities during the years 2017 to 2022. If approved, the requested cost recovery would result in an aggregate revenue requirement of $688 million. The costs addressed in the WGSC application are incremental to those previously authorized in the Utility’s 2020 GRC and other proceedings.\n\n144\n\nOn March 7, 2024, the CPUC approved a final decision authorizing the Utility to recover $516 million in interim rates to be recovered over at least 12 months starting April 1, 2024. The remaining $172 million will be recovered to the extent it is approved after the CPUC issues a final decision. Cost recovery requested in this application is subject to the CPUC’s reasonableness review, which could result in some or all of the interim rate relief being subject to refund.\n\nOther Matters\n\nPG&E Corporation and the Utility are subject to various claims and lawsuits that separately are not considered material.  Estimated liabilities for contingencies related to such matters totaled $151 million and $74 million as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. These amounts were included in Other current liabilities on the Consolidated Financial Statements. Included among these claims and lawsuits are the proofs of claim filed in the Chapter 11 Cases, except for proofs of claim discussed under “Wildfire-Related Securities Claims—Claims in the Bankruptcy Court Process” in Note 14 above. PG&E Corporation and the Utility have resolved a significant majority of the proofs of claim. PG&E Corporation and the Utility continue their review and analysis of certain remaining claims. PG&E Corporation and the Utility do not believe it is reasonably possible that the resolution of these matters will have a material impact on their financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows.\n\nEnvironmental Remediation Contingencies\n\nEnvironmental remediation contingencies are contingent liabilities that arise from federal, state, or local regulations requiring the remediation of contamination in soil, sediment, groundwater, and surface water. Given the complexities of the legal and regulatory environment and the inherent uncertainties involved in the early stages of a remediation project, the process for estimating remediation liabilities requires significant judgment. The Utility records an environmental remediation liability when the site assessments indicate that remediation is probable, and the Utility can reasonably estimate the loss or a range of probable amounts. The Utility records an environmental remediation liability based on the lower end of the range of estimated probable costs, unless an amount within the range is a better estimate than any other amount. Key factors that inform the development of estimated costs include the extent and types of hazardous substances at a potential site, the range of technologies that can be used for remediation, the determination of the Utility’s liability in proportion to other responsible parties, and the extent to which such costs are recoverable from third parties. Where possible, the Utility estimates costs using site-specific information but also considers historical experience for costs incurred at similar sites depending on the level of information available. Amounts recorded are not discounted to their present value. The Utility’s environmental remediation liability is primarily included in Noncurrent liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets and is comprised of the following:\n\n Balance at\n\n(in millions)December 31, 2025December 31, 2024\n\nTopock natural gas compressor station$315 $294 \n\nHinkley natural gas compressor station99 97 \n\nFormer MGP sites owned by the Utility or third parties (1)\n715 782 \n\nUtility-owned generation facilities (other than fossil fuel-fired), other facilities, and third-party disposal sites (2)\n71 76 \n\nFossil fuel-fired generation facilities and sites (3)\n17 18 \n\nTotal environmental remediation liability$1,217 $1,267 \n\n(1) Primarily driven by the following sites: San Francisco Beach Street, San Francisco Outside East Harbor, San Francisco East Harbor, San Francisco North Beach and San Francisco Fillmore Street.\n\n(2) Primarily driven by Geothermal Landfill and Shell Pond site.\n\n(3) Primarily driven by the San Francisco Potrero Power Plant.\n\nThe Utility’s gas compressor stations, former MGP sites, power plant sites, gas gathering sites, and sites used by the Utility for the storage, recycling, and disposal of potentially hazardous substances are subject to requirements issued by the EPA under the Federal Resource Conservation and Recovery Act in addition to other state laws relating to hazardous substances.  The Utility has a comprehensive program to comply with federal, state, and local laws and regulations related to hazardous materials, waste, remediation activities, and other environmental requirements.\n\n145\n\nThe Utility’s environmental remediation liability as of December 31, 2025, reflects its best estimate of probable future costs for remediation based on the current assessment data and regulatory obligations, but the Utility’s actual costs could materially exceed its estimates. Future costs will depend on many factors, including the extent of work necessary to implement final remediation plans, the Utility’s time frame for remediation, and unanticipated claims filed against the Utility.  As of December 31, 2025, the Utility expected to recover $1.0 billion of its environmental remediation liability for certain sites through various ratemaking mechanisms authorized by the CPUC.\n\nThe table below presents the high end of the range for the Utility's potential losses and whether HSMA recovery is available.\n\n \nBalance at December 31, 2025\n\n(in millions)Low end of the rangeHigh end of the range\nHSMA Recovery (1)\n\nTopock natural gas compressor station (2)\n$315 $518 Available\n\nHinkley natural gas compressor station (2)\n99 221 Unavailable\n\nFormer MGP sites owned by the Utility or third parties (3)\n715 1,292 Available\n\nUtility-owned generation facilities (other than fossil fuel-fired), other facilities, and third-party disposal sites (4)\n71 146 Available\n\nFossil fuel-fired generation facilities and sites (5)\n17 32 Unavailable\n\n(1) For sites where HSMA recovery is available, the Utility expects to recover 90% of the costs associated with environmental remediation through rates.\n\n(2) The Utility is legally responsible for remediating groundwater contamination caused by hexavalent chromium used in the past at the Utility’s natural gas compressor stations. The Utility is also required to take measures to abate the effects of the contamination on the environment. At the Topock site, the Utility completed the initial phase of construction on an in-situ groundwater treatment system in 2021, and additional construction will continue for several years.\n\n(3) Former MGPs used coal and oil to produce gas for use by the Utility’s customers before natural gas became available. The by-products and residues of this process were often disposed of at the MGPs themselves. The Utility has a program to manage the residues left behind as a result of the manufacturing process; many of the sites in the program have been addressed.\n\n(4) Utility-owned generation facilities and third-party disposal sites often involve long-term remediation.\n\n(5) The Utility sold its fossil-fueled generation power plants in 1998 but retains the environmental remediation liability associated with each site.\n\nNuclear Insurance\n\nThe Utility maintains multiple insurance policies through NEIL, a mutual insurer owned by utilities with nuclear facilities, and European Mutual Association for Nuclear Insurance (“EMANI”), covering nuclear or non-nuclear events at the Utility’s two nuclear generating units at DCPP and the Humboldt Bay independent spent fuel storage installation.\n\nNEIL provides insurance coverage for property damages and business interruption losses incurred by the Utility if a nuclear or non-nuclear event were to occur at the Utility’s two nuclear generating units at DCPP. NEIL provides property damage and business interruption coverage of up to $3.2 billion per nuclear incident and $2.5 billion per non-nuclear incident for DCPP. For Humboldt Bay independent spent fuel storage installation, NEIL provides up to $50 million of coverage for nuclear and non-nuclear property damages. NEIL also provides coverage for damages caused by acts of terrorism and cyberattacks at nuclear power plants. Through NEIL, there is up to $3.2 billion available to the membership to cover this exposure. These coverage amounts are shared by all NEIL members and all nuclear and non-nuclear property insurance policies issued by NEIL. EMANI shares losses with NEIL as part of the first $400 million of coverage within the current nuclear insurance program. EMANI also provides an additional $200 million in excess insurance for property damage and business interruption losses incurred by the Utility if a nuclear or non-nuclear event were to occur at DCPP. If NEIL losses in any policy year exceed accumulated funds, the Utility could be subject to a retrospective assessment.  If NEIL were to exercise this assessment, the maximum aggregate annual retrospective premium obligation for the Utility would be approximately $43 million. \n\nUnder the Price-Anderson Act, public liability claims that arise from nuclear incidents that occur at DCPP, and that occur during the transportation of material to and from DCPP are limited to approximately $16.3 billion. The Utility purchases the maximum available public liability insurance of $500 million for DCPP. The balance of the $16.3 billion of liability protection is provided under a loss-sharing program among nuclear reactor owners. The Utility may be assessed up to $332 million per nuclear incident under this loss sharing program, with payments in each year limited to a maximum of $49 million per incident. Both the maximum assessment and the maximum yearly assessment are adjusted for inflation at least every five years.\n\n146\n\nThe Price-Anderson Act does not apply to claims that arise from nuclear incidents that occur during shipping of nuclear material from the nuclear fuel enricher to a fuel fabricator or that occur at the fuel fabricator’s facility. The Utility has a separate policy that provides coverage for claims arising from some of these incidents up to a maximum of $500 million per incident. In addition, the Utility has approximately $53 million of liability insurance for the Humboldt Bay independent spent fuel storage installation and has a $500 million indemnification from the NRC for public liability arising from nuclear incidents for the Humboldt Bay independent spent fuel storage installation, covering liabilities in excess of the $53 million in liability insurance.\n\nPurchase Commitments\n\nThe following table shows the undiscounted future expected obligations under power purchase agreements that have been approved by the CPUC and have met specified construction milestones as well as undiscounted future expected payment obligations for natural gas supplies, natural gas transportation, natural gas storage, and nuclear fuel as of December 31, 2025:\n\n Power Purchase Agreements   \n\n(in millions)Renewable\nEnergyConventional\nEnergyNatural\nGas\nOther (1)\nTotal\n\n2026$1,937 $1,058 $544 $278 $3,817 \n\n20271,921 1,035 193 134 3,283 \n\n20281,903 989 106 47 3,045 \n\n20291,858 905 98 6 2,867 \n\n20301,852 510 42 2 2,406 \n\nThereafter12,828 4,315 34 5 17,182 \n\nTotal purchase commitments$22,299 $8,812 $1,017 $472 $32,600 \n\n(1) Includes other power purchase agreements and nuclear fuel agreements.\n\nThird-Party Power Purchase Agreements\n\nIn the ordinary course of business, the Utility enters into various agreements, including renewable energy agreements, qualifying facilities (“QF”) agreements, and other power purchase agreements to purchase power and electric capacity.  The price of purchased power may be fixed or variable.  Variable pricing is generally based on the current market price of either natural gas or electricity at the date of delivery.\n\nRenewable Energy Power Purchase Agreements\n\nIn order to comply with California’s RPS requirements, the Utility is required to deliver renewable energy to its customers at a gradually increasing rate.  The Utility has entered into various agreements to purchase renewable energy to help meet California’s requirement. The Utility’s obligations under a significant portion of these agreements are contingent on the third party’s construction of new generation facilities, which are expected to grow.  These renewable energy contracts expire at various dates between 2026 and 2047.\n\nConventional Energy Power Purchase Agreements\n\nThe Utility has entered into many power purchase agreements for conventional generation resources, which include a tolling agreement and RA agreements.  The Utility’s obligations under a portion of these agreements are contingent on the third parties’ development of new generation facilities to provide capacity and energy products to the Utility. These power purchase agreements expire at various dates between 2026 and 2044.\n\nOther Power Purchase Agreements\n\nThe Utility has entered into agreements to purchase energy and capacity with independent power producers that own generation facilities that meet the definition of a QF under federal law. As of December 31, 2025, QF contracts in operation expire at various dates between 2026 and 2049.  In addition, the Utility has agreements with various irrigation districts and water agencies to purchase hydroelectric power.\n\nThe net costs incurred for all power purchases and electric capacity were $2.0 billion in 2025, $2.1 billion in 2024, and $2.4 billion in 2023.\n\n147\n\nNatural Gas Supply, Transportation, and Storage Commitments\n\nThe Utility purchases natural gas directly from producers and marketers in both Canada and the United States to serve its core customers, and to fuel its owned-generation facilities along with a facility associated with a third party tolling agreement.  The Utility also contracts for natural gas transportation from the points at which the Utility takes delivery (typically in Canada, the United States Rocky Mountain supply area, and the southwestern United States) to the points at which the Utility’s natural gas transportation system begins.  These agreements expire at various dates between 2026 and 2035.  In addition, the Utility has contracted for natural gas storage services in Northern California and Canada to more reliably meet customers’ loads.\n\nCosts incurred for natural gas purchases, natural gas transportation services, and natural gas storage, which include contracts with terms of less than 1 year, were $1.0 billion in 2025, $0.8 billion in 2024, and $2.5 billion in 2023.\n\nNuclear Fuel Agreements\n\nThe Utility has entered into several purchase agreements for nuclear fuel.  These agreements expire at various dates between 2026 and 2030 and are intended to ensure long-term nuclear fuel supply.  The Utility relies on a number of international producers of nuclear fuel in order to diversify its sources and provide security of supply.  Pricing terms are also diversified, ranging from market-based prices to base prices that are escalated using published indices.\n\nPayments for nuclear fuel were $134 million in 2025, $294 million in 2024, and $180 million in 2023.\n\nOther Commitments\n\nPG&E Corporation and the Utility have other commitments primarily related to office facilities leases and land leases which expire at various dates between 2026 and 2054, as well as other multi-year agreements.  At December 31, 2025, the future minimum payments related to these commitments were as follows:\n\n(in millions)Other Commitments\n\n2026$82 \n\n202751 \n\n202841 \n\n202939 \n\n203013 \n\nThereafter65 \n\nTotal minimum payments$291 \n\nPayments for other commitments were $63 million in 2025, $105 million in 2024, and $106 million in 2023.  Certain office facility leases contain escalation clauses requiring annual increases in rent.  The rents may increase by a fixed amount each year, a percentage of the base rent, or the consumer price index.  There are options to extend these leases for one to five years.\n\nIn addition to the commitments in the table above, if the CPUC determines that it is needed, the Utility will make a supplemental shareholder contribution to the customer credit trust of up to $775 million in 2040. The Utility also will share with customers 25% of any surplus of shareholder assets in the customer credit trust at the end of the life of the trust.\n\nMANAGEMENT’S REPORT ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING\n\nManagement of PG&E Corporation and the Utility is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act).  PG&E Corporation’s and the Utility’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP.  Internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of PG&E Corporation and the Utility, (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP and that receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of PG&E Corporation and the Utility, and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.\n\n148\n\nBecause of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements.  Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.\n\nManagement assessed the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2025, based on the criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission.  Based on its assessment and those criteria, management has concluded that PG&E Corporation and the Utility maintained effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2025.\n\nDeloitte & Touche LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm, has audited PG&E Corporation’s and the Utility’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2025, based on criteria established in Internal Control — Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission.\n\n149\n\nREPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM\n\nTo the shareholders and the Board of Directors of PG&E Corporation\n\nOpinion on the Financial Statements\n\nWe have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of PG&E Corporation and subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the related consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income, equity, and cash flows, for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2025, and the related notes and the schedules listed in the Index at Item 15 (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2025, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP).\n\nWe have also audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2025, based on criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission, and our report dated February 11, 2026, expressed an unqualified opinion on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.\n\nBasis for Opinion\n\nThese financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.\n\nWe conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.\n\nCritical Audit Matter\n\nThe critical audit matter communicated below is a matter arising from the current-period audit of the financial statements that was communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that (1) relates to accounts or disclosures that are material to the financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matter below, providing a separate opinion on the critical audit matter or on the accounts or disclosures to which it relates.\n\nRegulation and Regulated Operations—Refer to Notes 2, 3 and 14 to the financial statements\n\nCritical Audit Matter Description\n\nThe Company’s subsidiary, Pacific Gas and Electric Company, follows accounting principles for rate-regulated entities and collects rates from customers to recover “revenue requirements” that have been authorized by the California Public Utility Commission (the “CPUC”) or the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (the “FERC”) based on its cost of providing service. Pacific Gas and Electric Company records assets and liabilities that result from the regulated ratemaking process that would not be recorded under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for nonregulated entities. Pacific Gas and Electric Company capitalizes and records, as regulatory assets, costs that would otherwise be charged to expense if it is probable that the incurred costs will be recovered in future rates.\n\n150\n\nWe identified the impact of rate regulation, specifically costs subject to cost recovery proceedings that have not yet been approved, as a critical audit matter due to the significant judgments made by management to support its assertions about impacted account balances and disclosures and the significant degree of subjectivity involved in assessing the likelihood of recovery of incurred costs in current or future rates due in part to the uncertainty related to future decisions by the rate regulators. This required specialized knowledge of accounting for rate regulation and the rate setting process due to its inherent complexities and a significant degree of auditor judgment when performing audit procedures to evaluate the reasonableness of management’s conclusions.\n\nHow the Critical Audit Matter Was Addressed in the Audit\n\nOur audit procedures related to the application of specialized rules to account for the effects of cost-based rate regulation related to the uncertainty of future decisions by the rate regulators included the following, among others:\n\n•We tested the effectiveness of controls over (1) the evaluation of the likelihood of (a) the recovery of costs deferred as regulatory assets in future rates; and (b) regulatory developments that may affect the likelihood of recovering costs in future rates or of a future reduction in rates; (2) management’s determination that costs subject to cost recovery proceedings that have not yet been approved for recovery, meet the definition of a regulatory asset and are recorded at the appropriate amount; and (3) the review of disclosures related to these matters.\n\n•We read relevant regulatory orders issued by the CPUC and FERC for Pacific Gas and Electric Company and other public utilities in California, procedural filings, filings made by intervenors, and other publicly available information to assess the likelihood of recovery in future rates based on precedents of the CPUC and FERC’s treatment of similar costs under similar circumstances. We evaluated the external information and compared to management’s recorded regulatory asset balances for completeness.\n\n•We inspected Pacific Gas and Electric Company’s filings with the CPUC and FERC and the filings with the CPUC and FERC by intervenors that may impact Pacific Gas and Electric Company’s future rates, for any evidence that might contradict management’s assertions.\n\n•For regulatory assets approved by a CPUC decision for tracking purposes, we selected samples of costs and evaluated whether they met the definition of a regulatory asset by comparing the costs to the description of the costs approved by a CPUC decision and were recorded at the appropriate amount.\n\n•We evaluated whether the Company’s disclosures were appropriate and consistent with the information obtained from our procedures performed.\n\n/s/ DELOITTE & TOUCHE LLP\n\nSan Francisco, California\n\nFebruary 11, 2026\n\nWe have served as the Company’s auditor since 1999.\n\n151\n\nREPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM\n\nTo the shareholders and the Board of Directors of Pacific Gas and Electric Company\n\nOpinion on the Financial Statements\n\nWe have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Pacific Gas and Electric Company and subsidiaries (the “Utility”) as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the related consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income, shareholders’ equity and cash flows, for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2025, and the related notes and the schedules listed in the Index at Item 15 (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Utility as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2025, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP).\n\nWe have also audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the Utility’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2025, based on criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission and our report dated February 11, 2026, expressed an unqualified opinion on the Utility’s internal control over financial reporting.\n\nBasis for Opinion\n\nThese financial statements are the responsibility of the Utility’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Utility’s financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Utility in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.\n\nWe conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB.

This required specialized knowledge of accounting for rate regulation and the rate setting process due to its inherent complexities and a significant degree of auditor judgment when performing audit procedures to evaluate the reasonableness of management’s conclusions.\n\nHow the Critical Audit Matter Was Addressed in the Audit\n\nOur audit procedures related to the application of specialized rules to account for the effects of cost‐based rate regulation related to the uncertainty of future decisions by the rate regulators included the following, among others:\n\n•We tested the effectiveness of controls over (1) the evaluation of the likelihood of (a) the recovery of costs deferred as regulatory assets in future rates; and (b) regulatory developments that may affect the likelihood of recovering costs in future rates or of a future reduction in rates; (2) management’s determination that costs subject to cost recovery proceedings that have not yet been approved for recovery, meet the definition of a regulatory asset and are recorded at the appropriate amount; and (3) the review of disclosures related to these matters.\n\n•We read relevant regulatory orders issued by the CPUC and FERC for the Utility and other public utilities in California, procedural filings, filings made by intervenors, and other publicly available information to assess the likelihood of recovery in future rates based on precedents of the CPUC and FERC’s treatment of similar costs under similar circumstances. We evaluated the external information and compared to management’s recorded regulatory asset balances for completeness.\n\n•We inspected the Utility’s filings with the CPUC and FERC and the filings with the CPUC and FERC by intervenors that may impact the Utility’s future rates, for any evidence that might contradict management’s assertions.\n\n•For regulatory assets approved by a CPUC decision for tracking purposes, we selected samples of costs and evaluated whether they met the definition of a regulatory asset by comparing the costs to the description of the costs approved by a CPUC decision and were recorded at the appropriate amount.\n\n•We evaluated whether the Utility’s disclosures were appropriate and consistent with the information obtained from our procedures performed.\n\n/s/ DELOITTE & TOUCHE LLP\n\nSan Francisco, California\n\nFebruary 11, 2026\n\nWe have served as the Utility’s auditor since 1999.\n\n153\n\nREPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM\n\nTo the shareholders and the Board of Directors of PG&E Corporation\n\nOpinion on Internal Control over Financial Reporting\n\nWe have audited the internal control over financial reporting of PG&E Corporation and subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2025, based on criteria established in Internal Control — Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). In our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2025, based on criteria established in Internal Control — Integrated Framework (2013) issued by COSO.\n\nWe have also audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2025, of the Company and our report dated February 11, 2026, expressed an unqualified opinion on those financial statements.\n\nBasis for Opinion\n\nThe Company’s management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in the accompanying Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.\n\nWe conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk, and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.\n\nDefinition and Limitations of Internal Control over Financial Reporting\n\nA company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.\n\nBecause of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.\n\n/s/ DELOITTE & TOUCHE LLP\n\nSan Francisco, California\n\nFebruary 11, 2026\n\n154\n\nREPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM\n\nTo the shareholders and the Board of Directors of Pacific Gas and Electric Company\n\nOpinion on Internal Control over Financial Reporting\n\nWe have audited the internal control over financial reporting of Pacific Gas and Electric Company and subsidiaries (the “Utility”) as of December 31, 2025, based on criteria established in Internal Control— Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO).
