Full Release

Operational progress during the second quarter of 2026 continued to focus on delivering safe, reliable, affordable, and clean energy to customers. Pacific Gas and Electric Company (PG&E or the Utility):

• Unveiled its new electric system Continuous Monitoring Center, a centralized hub bringing together people, data, and advanced machine learning to help detect risk early, prevent wildfires, and strengthen reliability for customers. From January 2025 through June 2026, PG&E's continuous monitoring capabilities have avoided 28 potential ignitions in high fire-risk areas and 19.6 million outage minutes as well as provided $11.2 million in savings through lower-cost repairs.
• Constructed 37 miles of underground powerlines and installed 100 miles of strengthened poles and covered powerlines in high fire-risk areas. By the end of 2027, PG&E plans to complete more than 1,900 total miles of undergrounding and more than 2,000 miles of strengthened poles and covered powerlines, along with other wildfire safety system upgrades.
• Submitted a report to California regulators, which calculated a 60% reduction in methane emissions from the Utility's natural gas system in 2025 compared to a 2015 baseline, exceeding its 2030 target five years early.
• Connected over 3,930 electric customers and over 2,460 new electric vehicle charging ports to the Utility's grid.
• Delivered $15 million to over 47,000 low- and moderate-income customers through PG&E's Relief for Energy Assistance through Community Help (REACH) and Match My Payment programs.
• Advanced new data center projects in PG&E's service area with an overall pipeline of over 12 gigawatts (GWs). With appropriate pricing, every one GW of new data center load could help customers save 1% or more on their monthly electric bill.

"Our PG&E team continues to make meaningful progress delivering safe, affordable, reliable, and clean energy to our customers. We're encouraged by the engagement around California wildfire liability reform and are advocating for a durable solution that delivers for customers and investors," said PG&E Corporation CEO Patti Poppe.

2026 Guidance

PG&E Corporation is reaffirming its full year 2026 non-GAAP core earnings guidance range of $1.64 to $1.66 per share. Factors expected to drive non-GAAP core earnings include return on customer capital investment and costs related to unrecoverable interest expense and other earnings factors, including allowance for funds used during construction, incentive revenues, tax benefits, and cost savings, net of below-the-line costs.

PG&E Corporation uses "non-GAAP core earnings," which is a non-GAAP financial measure that excludes non-core items, in order to provide a measure that allows investors to compare the underlying financial performance of the business from one period to another, exclusive of non-core items. See the accompanying tables for a reconciliation of consolidated income available for common shareholders to non-GAAP core earnings (including non-GAAP core EPS).

Financial Results

PG&E Corporation recorded second-quarter 2026 income available for common shareholders of $733 million, and $0.33 per diluted share, as reported in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). This compares with income available for common shareholders of $521 million, and $0.24 per diluted share, for the second quarter of 2025.

The increase in GAAP earnings was primarily driven by customer capital investment due to the earnings impact of higher rate base and net O&M savings, partially offset by a lower CPUC return on equity in effect during 2026 as compared to 2025 and increased Wildfire Fund expense.  

Non-GAAP Core Earnings 

PG&E Corporation's non-GAAP core earnings were $920 million, and $0.40 per diluted share, for the second quarter of 2026, compared to $674 million, and $0.31 per diluted share, for the second quarter of 2025.

The increase in Non-GAAP core earnings was driven by similar factors to our GAAP earnings except for Wildfire Fund expense.

Non-core items, which management does not consider representative of ongoing earnings, totaled $164 million after tax, and $0.07 per share, for the second quarter of 2026, compared with $154 million after tax, and $0.07 per share, for the second quarter of 2025.
