The following charts provide a clear, visual comparison, for each of 2024, 2023, 2022, 2021, and 2020, between SCT paid to our PEOs, CAP to our PEOs, the average SCT paid to our non-PEO NEOs, and CAP to our non-PEO NEOs, to PG&E’s TSR and the peer group’s TSR for each of those years. In addition, the charts illustrate how PG&E’s TSR compares to our PVP peer group’s TSR.

Compensation Actually Paid vs. Company Selected Measure
TSR is used as a performance measure in our LTIP program, applicable to PSUs, but the peer group of companies against which LTIP TSR performance is compared and the calculation for determining the LTIP TSR performance score are different than what is shown in the above charts. Additionally, TSR has a 35% weighting in our LTIP and, accordingly, it has limited impact on the CAP. However, as LTIP awards make up a large portion of total compensation, it is a factor that impacts the value of outstanding and vested awards and thereby the CAP.
Our company-selected measure is non-GAAP core EPS, which accounts for 20% of the outcome under our STIP. Given the relatively small weight of this measure in our incentive framework, non-GAAP core EPS has a very limited relationship with CAP. We do not use GAAP net income in our incentive plans, although it is a component of non-GAAP core EPS. Accordingly, net income, like non-GAAP core EPS, has a very limited relationship with CAP. While financial measures are not heavily weighted, PG&E emphasizes many quantifiable non-financial performance measures in our incentive plans, based on operational customer and safety metrics. Details of these can be found in the Compensation Discussion & Analysis.
       
Total Shareholder Return Vs Peer Group
The following charts provide a clear, visual comparison, for each of 2024, 2023, 2022, 2021, and 2020, between SCT paid to our PEOs, CAP to our PEOs, the average SCT paid to our non-PEO NEOs, and CAP to our non-PEO NEOs, to PG&E’s TSR and the peer group’s TSR for each of those years. In addition, the charts illustrate how PG&E’s TSR compares to our PVP peer group’s TSR.

Tabular List, Table
For the fiscal year ending December 31, 2024, non-GAAP core EPS is the most important financial performance measure in linking CAP to PG&E Corporate and Utility’s performance and is included in the PVP tables. The other two most important measures for PVP purposes consists of the remaining financial measures identified in our Compensation Discussion & Analysis for 2024. The following table lists the collective ‘most important’ financial measures alphabetically.

Non-GAAP Measure Description
(5)     Non-GAAP core EPS is identified as our company-selected measure and included in column (i) of both tables. Details of the reconciliation to our audited financial statements can be found in Exhibit A of the Proxy for each respective year.
(6)     Due to an administrative error in the 2022 Annual Proxy Statement, which omitted a portion of Ms. Poppe’s relocation costs, Ms. Poppe’s “All Other Compensation” was previously reported as $573,050. Ms. Poppe’s “All Other Compensation” total and SCT total and have been corrected to $609,579 and $51,235,000 respectively. As a result, the 2021 SCT and CAP totals for Ms. Poppe, Corporation PEO #1, were previously reported as 51,198,471 and 55,405,829 respectively and have been updated in the above table to $51,235,000 and $55,442,358 respectively.
(7)     Non-GAAP core EPS for the full year 2021 was $1.00 per share on a fully diluted basis and $1.08 using a basic share count. The impact of dilution was $(0.08) per share.
