Trust fund earnings (based on specific identification) increase the trust fund balance and the ARO regulatory liability. Unrealized holding gains, net of losses, were $1.7 billion and $1.8 billion at December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

The following table summarizes the gains and losses for the trust investments:


	Years ended December 31,

Gross realized gains	$	326	$	323	$	150
Gross realized losses	(24)		(73)		(127)
Net unrealized (losses) gains for equity securities	(19)		103		(369)

Due to regulatory mechanisms, changes in the assets of the trusts from income or loss items do not materially affect earnings.
