® 26 Slide titles are hyperlinks Slide 3: Reaffirming 2023 Guidance 1. Non-GAAP core EPS is not calculated in accordance with GAAP. See Appendix 9, Exhibit A for a reconciliation of EPS on a GAAP basis to non-GAAP core earnings per share and Appendix 9, Exhibit E regarding non-GAAP financial measures. Slide 4: 2023: Mitigating Risk 1. Non-GAAP core EPS is not calculated in accordance with GAAP. See Appendix 9, Exhibit A for a reconciliation of EPS on a GAAP basis to non-GAAP core earnings per share and Appendix 9, Exhibit E regarding non-GAAP financial measures. Slide 5: Adding Layers Of Protection 1. Based on a comparison in the Utility's GRC testimony of the wildfire risk score for a baseline risk level to a risk level reflecting the Utility’s mitigation work. Risk scores are calculated using the scoring methodology established by the CPUC in the Safety Model Assessment Proceeding, which reflects the frequency with which various risks are expected to occur and the potential safety, reliability, and financial impacts of varying degrees of wildfire severity. Slide 6: Simple, Affordable Model 1. These numbers are illustrative approximations. 2. The Utility’s cost reduction strategies include increased efficiency and waste elimination driven by implementing the Lean operating system, improving its work management, identifying additional opportunities to improve its capital-to-expense ratio, and an improved organizational design. Factors that may cause the Utility’s actual results to differ materially from its forecasts include whether the Utility can control its operating costs within the authorized levels of spending and timely recover its costs through rates; whether the Utility can achieve projected savings; the extent to which the Utility incurs unrecoverable costs that are higher than the forecasts of such costs; and changes in cost forecasts or the scope and timing of planned work resulting from changes in customer demand for electricity and natural gas or other reasons. 3. Expected drivers of forecasted electric load growth include electrification and electric vehicle adoption. 4. Factors that may cause the Utility’s actual results to differ materially from its forecasts include the ability of PG&E Corporation and the Utility to access capital markets and other sources of debt and equity financing in a timely manner on acceptable terms; their ability to raise financing through securitization transactions; actions by credit rating agencies to downgrade PG&E Corporation’s or the Utility’s credit ratings; the supply and price of electricity, natural gas, and nuclear fuel; its use of self-insurance for wildfire liability insurance; and the impact of any changes in federal or state tax laws, policies, regulations, or their interpretation, and PG&E Corporation’s and the Utility’s ability to obtain efficient tax treatment. Slide 8: 2023 Report Card 1. Defined by OEIS as a fire that caused at least one death, damaged over 500 structures, or burned over 5,000 acres. 2. 2% reduction calculated based on the prior year's operating and maintenance costs, excluding fuel costs. Reductions available for redeployment. 3. In accordance with AB 1054, $3.21 billion of fire risk mitigation capital expenditures will be excluded from the Utility's equity rate base. 4. Non-GAAP core EPS is not calculated in accordance with GAAP. See Appendix 9, Exhibit A for a reconciliation of EPS on a GAAP basis to non-GAAP core earnings per share and Appendix 9, Exhibit E regarding non-GAAP financial measures. 5. FFO/Debt is not calculated in accordance with GAAP. Because PG&E Corporation is not able to estimate the impact of specific line items, which have the potential to significantly impact the company’s FFO/Debt in future periods, it is not providing a reconciliation for the comparable future period FFO/Debt. Slide 9: Non-GAAP Core EPS Comparison 1. Non-GAAP core EPS is not calculated in accordance with GAAP. See Appendix 9, Exhibit A for a reconciliation of EPS on a GAAP basis to non-GAAP core earnings per share and Appendix 9, Exhibit E regarding non-GAAP financial measures. Slide 10: Customer Investment Supports Guidance 1. Non-GAAP core EPS is not calculated in accordance with GAAP.

Slide 14: Value Proposition 1. Non-GAAP core EPS is not calculated in accordance with GAAP. See Appendix 9, Exhibit A for a reconciliation of EPS on a GAAP basis to non-GAAP core earnings per share and Appendix 9, Exhibit E regarding non-GAAP financial measures. 2. Pursuant to the Confirmation Order, PG&E Corporation agreed to not pay common dividends until it has recognized $6.2 billion in non-GAAP core earnings as described in the Plan of Reorganization after the Plan of Reorganization effective date. Subject to the foregoing restriction, any decision to declare and pay dividends in the future will be made at the discretion of the Board of Directors and will depend on, among other things, PG&E Corporation’s results of operations, financial condition, cash requirements, contractual restrictions, and other factors that the Board of Directors may deem relevant. 3. In accordance with AB 1054, $3.21 billion of fire risk mitigation capital expenditures will be excluded from the Utility's equity rate base. CAGR is from 2022 through 2027. 4. 2% reduction calculated based on the prior year's operating and maintenance costs, excluding fuel costs. Reductions available for redeployment. The Utility’s cost reduction strategies include increased efficiency driven by implementing the Lean operating system, improving its work management, identifying additional opportunities to convert expenses to capital expenditures, and an improved organizational design. Factors that may cause the Utility’s actual results to differ materially from its forecasts include whether the Utility can control its operating costs within the authorized levels of spending and timely recover its costs through rates; whether the Utility can achieve projected savings; the extent to which the Utility incurs unrecoverable costs that are higher than the forecasts of such costs; and changes in cost forecasts or the scope and timing of planned work resulting from changes in customer demand for electricity and natural gas or other reasons. 5. FFO/Debt is not calculated in accordance with GAAP. Because PG&E Corporation is not able to estimate the impact of specific line items, which have the potential to significantly impact the company’s FFO/Debt in future periods, it is not providing a reconciliation for the comparable future period FFO/Debt. Slide 15: 2023: Mitigating Risk 1. Non-GAAP core EPS is not calculated in accordance with GAAP.

See Appendix 9, Exhibit A for a reconciliation of EPS on a GAAP basis to non-GAAP core earnings per share, Appendix 9, Exhibit C for PG&E Corporation’s 2023 Earnings Guidance, and Appendix 9, Exhibit E regarding non-GAAP financial measures. 2. 2023 equity earning rate base reflects 2020 GRC Final Decision, 2019 GT&S Final Decision, the April 15, 2021 FERC order denying the Utility's request for rehearing related to TO18, and TO20 Formula Rate, and 2023 GRC application including the September 2022 inflation update. 3. The capital structure of an investor-owned utility is the proportional authorization of shareholders’ equity and debt that comprise a company’s long-range financing or its capitalization. The CPUC currently authorized capital structure is comprised of 47.5% long-term debt, 0.5% preferred equity, and 52% common equity. Base earnings plan assumes CPUC currently authorized return on equity and capital structure across the enterprise. 4. Refer to Appendix 9, Exhibit C: PG&E Corporation's 2023 Earnings Guidance. 5. Cash amounts for non-core items are after tax, directional, and subject to change. 6. Non-GAAP Core Earnings assumptions include: • No 2023 impacts from changes in the federal tax code; and • All potentially dilutive securities were included in the calculation of Non-GAAP Core EPS. 7. Unrecoverable interest expense includes PG&E Corporation long-term debt, Wildfire Fund contribution debt financing, and other interest above authorized. Appendix 8: Presentation Endnotes

® 41 Exhibit E: Non-GAAP Financial Measures Non-GAAP Core Earnings and Non-GAAP Core EPS “Non-GAAP core earnings” and “Non-GAAP core EPS,” also referred to as “non-GAAP core earnings per share,” are non-GAAP financial measures. Non-GAAP core earnings is calculated as income available for common shareholders less non-core items. “Non-core items” include items that management does not consider representative of ongoing earnings and affect comparability of financial results between periods, consisting of the items listed in Exhibit A. Non-GAAP core EPS is calculated as non-GAAP core earnings divided by common shares outstanding (taken on a basic basis in the event of a GAAP loss and a diluted basis in the event of a GAAP gain). PG&E Corporation discloses historical financial results and provides guidance based on “non-GAAP core earnings” and “non-GAAP core EPS” 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. PG&E Corporation and the Utility use non-GAAP core earnings and non-GAAP core EPS to understand and compare operating results across reporting periods for various purposes including internal budgeting and forecasting, short- and long-term operating planning, and employee incentive compensation. PG&E Corporation and the Utility believe that non-GAAP core earnings and non- GAAP core EPS provide additional insight into the underlying trends of the business, allowing for a better comparison against historical results and expectations for future performance. With respect to our projection of non-GAAP core EPS for the years 2024-2026, PG&E Corporation is unable to predict with reasonable certainty the reconciling items that may affect GAAP net income without unreasonable effort. The reconciling items are primarily due to the future impact of wildfire-related costs, timing of regulatory recoveries, special tax items, and investigation remedies. These reconciling items are uncertain, depend on various factors and could significantly impact, either individually or in the aggregate, the GAAP measures. Non-GAAP core earnings and non-GAAP core EPS are not substitutes or alternatives for GAAP measures such as consolidated income available for common shareholders and may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies.
