Guidance does not include amounts for other potential future fines and penalties, including probable disallowances that will be imposed by the CPUC in its phase two decision of the 2015 GT&S rate case for prohibited ex parte communications. The pre-tax range of estimated costs is shown below. The offsetting tax impact for the low and high EPS guidance range is $12 million.  APPENDIX 2 – 2017 SUPPLEMENTAL EARNINGS MATERIALSPG&E Corporation’s 2017 Earnings per Share Guidance 
 

 APPENDIX 2 – 2017 SUPPLEMENTAL EARNINGS MATERIALSPG&E Corporation’s 2017 Earnings per Share Guidance   46  “Butte fire related costs, net of insurance” refers to estimated third-party claims and legal costs associated with the Butte fire, and any related insurance recovery. The Utility currently is unable to estimate the low and high end of the range for 2017.“GT&S revenue timing impact” refers to the revenues that are expected to be recorded in excess of the 2017 authorized revenue requirements after the CPUC issues a final phase two decision in the 2015 GT&S rate case to address the allocation of the $850 million disallowance for safety-related work adopted in the San Bruno Penalty Decision. Due to the uncertainty regarding the revenue requirement the CPUC will ultimately adopt in the final phase two decision, the Utility will not be able to record a true-up of revenues under-collected since January 1, 2015 until after the final phase two decision is issued. In addition, accounting rules allow the Utility to recognize revenues in a given year only if they will be collected from customers within 24 months of the end of that year. Because the phase one decision directs the Utility to collect the difference between the adopted “interim” revenue requirements and the amounts previously collected in rates, retroactive to January 1, 2015, over a 36-month period, the Utility will complete recording the full true-up of under-collected revenues in 2017. The pre-tax range of estimated revenues is shown below. The offsetting tax impact for the low and high EPS guidance range is $65 million.Actual financial results for 2017 may differ materially from the guidance provided. For a discussion of the factors that may affect future results, see the Forward-Looking Statements. 
 

 APPENDIX 2 – 2017 SUPPLEMENTAL EARNINGS MATERIALS2017 General Earnings Sensitivities  47  PG&E Corporation and Pacific Gas and Electric Company  These general earnings sensitivities on factors that may affect 2017 earnings are forward-looking statements that are based on various assumptions. Actual results may differ materially. For a discussion of the factors that may affect future results, see the Forward-Looking Statements. 
 

 APPENDIX 2 – 2017 SUPPLEMENTAL EARNINGS MATERIALSUse of Non-GAAP Financial Measures  48  PG&E Corporation and Pacific Gas and Electric Company  PG&E Corporation discloses historical financial results and provides guidance based on “earnings from operations” 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 items impacting comparability. “Earnings from operations” is a non-GAAP financial measure and is calculated as income available for common shareholders less items impacting comparability. “Items impacting comparability” represent items that management does not consider part of the normal course of operations and affect comparability of financial results between periods, including certain pipeline related expenses, certain legal and regulatory related expenses, fines and penalties, Butte fire related costs, impacts of the 2015 GT&S rate case, and insurance recoveries for natural gas matters. PG&E Corporation uses earnings from operations 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 believes that earnings from operations provide additional insight into the underlying trends of the business allowing for a better comparison against historical results and expectations for future performance. Earnings from operations are not a substitute or alternative for GAAP measures such as consolidated income available for common shareholders and may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies.

 APPENDIX 5Description of Gas System Safety Recognition  59  ISO 55001  API 1173  ISO (International Organization for Standardization) 55001 enables the development of an effective asset management system so that an organization can achieve its objectives consistently and sustainably over time. ISO consists of members from the national standards bodies of 162 countries and has published more than 19,500 international standards.   API RP (American Petroleum Institute Recommended Practice) 1173 outlines specific best practices for safe and effective pipeline operations underpinned by a healthy safety culture. PG&E joined other gas pipeline organizations, along with the National Transportation Safety Board and the Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration to help co-author the standard.  PAS 55  PAS (Publicly Available Specification) 55 is a rigorous specification for optimized management of physical assets with widespread recognition among utilities, transport, mining, process and manufacturing industries worldwide. PAS 55 was developed by the Institute for Asset Management and published by the British Standards Institution.   RC 14001  RC (Responsible Care) 14001 is the chemical industry standard issued through the American Chemistry Council (ACC) for process and product safety; community communications; security and safety, health, environmental (SHE) practices. A third party audit reviewed end-to-end safety processes at the company, ultimately approving PG&E as the first utility to secure the certification.
