Item 2.02 Results of Operations and Financial Condition

On October 25, 2022, FirstEnergy Corp. (“FirstEnergy” or the “Company”) issued two public documents which, among other things: provide results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022; update its full year 2022 GAAP earnings forecast; and affirm the Company’s operating (non-GAAP) earnings guidance for the full year 2022. FirstEnergy’s Press Release and 3Q 2022 Strategic and Financial Highlights, which are attached as Exhibits 99.1 and 99.2, respectively, hereto and incorporated herein by reference, contain non-GAAP financial measures. Pursuant to the requirements of Regulation G and Item 10(e)(i) of Regulation S-K, FirstEnergy has provided quantitative reconciliations within the Press Release and 3Q 2022 Strategic and Financial Highlights of the non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable financial measures calculated and presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (GAAP). The information set forth in and incorporated into this Item 2.02 of this Current Report on Form 8-K is being furnished pursuant to Item 2.02 of Form 8-K and shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section, nor shall it be deemed incorporated by reference into any of the Company’s filings under the Securities Act of 1933 or the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, whether made before or after the date hereof and regardless of any general incorporation language in such filings, except to the extent expressly set forth by specific reference in such a filing.

The attached Press Release and 3Q 2022 Strategic and Financial Highlights contain references to non-GAAP financial measures including, among others, Operating earnings (loss), Operating earnings (loss) per share (“EPS”), and Operating earnings (loss) per share by segment. Generally, a non-GAAP financial measure is a numerical measure of a company’s historical or future financial performance, financial position, or cash flows that either excludes or includes amounts that are not normally excluded or included in the most directly comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP. Operating earnings (loss), Operating earnings (loss) per share, and Operating earnings (loss) per share by segment are not calculated in accordance with GAAP to the extent they exclude the impact of “special items.” Special items represent charges incurred or benefits realized that management believes are not indicative of, or may obscure, trends useful in evaluating the Company’s ongoing core activities and results of operations or otherwise warrant separate classification. Special items are not necessarily non-recurring. The Company’s management cannot estimate on a forward-looking basis the impact of these items in the context of long-term annual operating EPS growth rate projections because these items, which could be significant, are difficult to predict and may be highly variable. Consequently, the Company is unable to reconcile long-term annual Operating EPS growth projections to a GAAP measure without unreasonable effort. Basic (GAAP) EPS and Operating EPS and Basic (GAAP) EPS and Operating EPS for each segment are calculated by dividing Operating earnings (loss), which excludes special items as discussed above, for the periods presented by 544 million shares for third quarter and first nine months of 2021, 545 million shares for the full year 2021, and 571 million shares for the third quarter, first nine months and full year 2022. Furthermore, pro forma earnings per share are also a non-GAAP financial measure and adjust the operating earnings (loss) per share for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 for certain accounting policy changes, rate credits and equity financing transactions that began to impact or took effect in 2022, which management believes provides for a more consistent and comparable measure of performance of its businesses period-over-period. Management uses non-GAAP financial measures such as Operating earnings (loss), and Operating earnings (loss) per share to evaluate the Company’s performance and manage its operations and frequently references these non-GAAP financial measures in its decision-making, using them to facilitate historical and ongoing performance comparisons. Additionally, management uses Operating earnings (loss) per share by segment to further evaluate FirstEnergy’s performance by segment and references this non-GAAP financial measure in its decision-making. Management believes that the non-GAAP financial measures of Operating earnings (loss), Operating earnings (loss) per share, Operating earnings (loss) per share by segment, and pro forma earnings per share, provide consistent and comparable measures of performance of its businesses on an ongoing basis. Management also believes that such measures are useful to shareholders and other interested parties to understand performance trends and evaluate the Company against its peer group by presenting period-over-period operating results without the effect of certain charges or benefits that may not be consistent or comparable across periods or across the Company’s peer group. All of these non-GAAP financial measures are intended to complement, and are not considered as alternatives to, the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures. Also, the non-GAAP financial measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other entities.

FirstEnergy Announces Third Quarter 2022 Financial Results

Reports third quarter 2022 GAAP earnings of $0.58 per share and

operating (non-GAAP) earnings of $0.79 per share, at top end of guidance range

Updates full-year GAAP guidance; affirms 2022 operating guidance with expected performance in the upper half of the range

Akron, Ohio – FirstEnergy Corp. (NYSE: FE) today reported third quarter 2022 GAAP earnings of $334 million, or $0.58 per basic and diluted share, on revenue of $3.5 billion. In the third quarter of 2021, the company reported GAAP earnings of $463 million, or $0.85 per basic and diluted share, on revenue of $3.1 billion. GAAP results include special items listed below.

Operating (non-GAAP) earnings* were $0.79 per share for the third quarter of 2022, at the top end of the company’s guidance range. In the third quarter of 2021, operating (non-GAAP) earnings were $0.82 per share and $0.68 per share on a pro forma basis when adjusting for accounting policy changes, Ohio rate credits and equity financing transactions for comparability purposes.

“Our continued solid results, together with the ongoing efforts to strengthen our culture, accelerate improvement in our balance sheet and achieve operational excellence, are creating positive momentum at FirstEnergy and positioning us to capitalize on significant opportunities for growth through long-term, customer-focused investments,” said John W. Somerhalder II, FirstEnergy Board Chair, interim president and chief executive officer. “I’m confident our leadership team and committed employees will continue to drive these strategies to transform the company into a best-in-class utility.”

FirstEnergy updated its full-year GAAP earnings forecast range to $1,145 million to $1,260 million, or $2.01 to $2.21 per share based on 571 million shares outstanding. It also affirmed its full-year 2022 operating (non-GAAP) earnings guidance range of $1,315 million to

2

$1,430 million, or $2.30 to $2.50 per share based on 571 million shares outstanding and expects results in the upper half of that range, assuming normal weather.

Third Quarter Results

Third quarter and year-to-date 2022 results reflect the impacts of certain accounting policy changes, rate credits that were provided to Ohio customers under the company’s previously approved stipulation, and dilution related to the common equity financing transaction that closed at the end of 2021 and the sale of a minority interest in FirstEnergy Transmission, LLC that closed on May 31, 2022.

Excluding the impact of these items, third quarter operating results in the Regulated Distribution business were flat as higher revenue related to capital investment programs primarily in Pennsylvania, along with impacts from weather, offset higher planned operating expenses, including accelerating maintenance work into 2022.

Total distribution deliveries were flat compared to the third quarter of 2021, with lower sales in the residential and commercial sectors offset by a 2% increase in industrial sales.

In the Regulated Transmission business, third quarter 2022 operating results benefited primarily from the company’s ongoing Energizing the Future capital investment program.

In the Corporate/Other segment, third quarter 2022 operating results improved as compared to the third quarter of 2021, primarily due to higher returns on legacy, commodity-based investments and lower interest expense from holding company debt redemptions during 2022.

First Nine Months

For the first nine months of 2022, FirstEnergy reported GAAP earnings of $809 million,

or $1.42 per basic share ($1.41 per diluted share), on revenue of $9.3 billion. This compares to GAAP earnings of $856 million, or $1.57 per basic and diluted share, on revenue of $8.5 billion in the first nine months of 2021. Results for both periods reflect the impact of special items listed below.

Operating (non-GAAP) earnings* for the first nine months of 2022 were $1.91 per share, compared to $2.10 per share in the first nine months of 2021 and $1.74 per share on a pro forma basis in the first nine months of 2021, when adjusting for the impacts of accounting policy changes, Ohio rate credits and equity financing transactions described above.

Results for the first nine months of 2022, as compared to the same period last year, primarily reflect the strength of FirstEnergy’s customer-focused investments, investment income and lower interest expense, partially offset by higher planned operating expenses.

Basic EPS (GAAP) and Operating EPS (Non-GAAP) is based on 571 million shares for the third quarter, first nine months and full year of 2022 and 544 million shares for the third quarter and first nine months of 2021.

Non-GAAP financial measures

* Operating earnings (loss) excludes “special items” as described below, and is a non-GAAP financial measure. Special items represent charges incurred or benefits realized that management believes are not indicative of, or may obscure trends useful in evaluating the Company’s ongoing core activities and results of operations or otherwise warrant separate classification. Special items are not necessarily non-recurring. Management uses Operating earnings (loss) and Operating earnings (loss) per share to evaluate the Company’s performance and manage its operations and frequently references these non-GAAP financial measures in its decision making, using them to facilitate historical and ongoing performance comparisons. Additionally, management uses Operating earnings (loss) per share by segment to further evaluate the Company's performance by segment and references this non-GAAP financial measure in its decision making. Operating earnings (loss) per share and Operating earnings (loss) per share for each segment is calculated by dividing Operating earnings (loss), which excludes special items as discussed herein, for the periods presented by the number of shares outstanding. Basic EPS (GAAP) and Operating EPS (Non-GAAP), as well as Basic EPS (GAAP) and Operating EPS (Non-GAAP) for each segment, are based on 571 million shares for the third quarter, first nine months and full year of 2022 and 544 million for the third quarter and first nine months of 2021. Furthermore, pro forma earnings per share are also a non-GAAP financial measure and adjust the 2021 operating earnings (loss) per share for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, for certain accounting policy changes, rate credits and equity financing transactions that took effect or began to impact in 2022, which management believes provides for a more consistent and comparable measure of performance of its businesses period-over-period. Management believes that the non-GAAP financial measures of Operating earnings (loss) and Operating earnings (loss) per share, Operating earnings (loss) per share by segment, and pro forma earnings per share provide consistent and comparable measures of performance of its

4

businesses on an ongoing basis. Management also believes that such measures are useful to shareholders and other interested parties to understand performance trends and evaluate the Company against its peer group by presenting period-over-period operating results without the effect of certain charges or benefits that may not be consistent or comparable across periods or across the Company’s peer group. Generally, a non-GAAP financial measure is a numerical measure of a company's historical or future financial performance, financial position, or cash flows that either excludes or includes amounts that are not normally excluded or included in the most directly comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (GAAP). These non-GAAP financial measures are intended to complement, and are not considered as alternatives to, the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures. Also, the non-GAAP financial measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other entities. Pursuant to the requirements of Regulation G, FirstEnergy has provided, where possible without unreasonable effort, quantitative reconciliations within this presentation of the non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures.

Non-GAAP Financial Matters This presentation contains references to non-GAAP financial measures including, among others, Operating earnings (loss), Operating earnings (loss) per share (“EPS”), and Operating EPS by segment. Generally, a non-GAAP financial measure is a numerical measure of a company’s historical or future financial performance, financial position, or cash flows that either excludes or includes amounts that are not normally excluded or included in the most directly comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”). Operating earnings (loss), Operating EPS, and Operating EPS by segment are not calculated in accordance with GAAP to the extent they exclude the impact of “special items.” Special items represent charges incurred or benefits realized that management believes are not indicative of, or may obscure trends useful in evaluating the Company’s ongoing core activities and results of operations or otherwise warrant separate classification. Special items are not necessarily non-recurring. Management cannot estimate on a forward-looking basis the impact of these items in the context of long-term annual operating EPS growth rate projections because these items, which could be significant, are difficult to predict and may be highly variable. Consequently, the Company is unable to reconcile long- term annual operating EPS growth projections to a GAAP measure without unreasonable effort. Basic (GAAP) EPS and Operating EPS and Basic (GAAP) EPS and Operating EPS for each segment are calculated by dividing Operating earnings (loss), which excludes special items as discussed above, for the periods presented by 544 million shares for third quarter and first nine months of 2021, 545 million shares for the full year 2021, and 571 million shares for the third quarter, first nine months and full year 2022. Furthermore, pro forma earnings per share are also a non-GAAP financial measure and adjust the operating earnings (loss) per share for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 for certain accounting policy changes, rate credits and equity financing transactions that began to impact or took effect in 2022, which management believes provides for a more consistent and comparable measure of performance of its businesses period-over-period. Management uses non-GAAP financial measures such as Operating earnings (loss), and Operating EPS to evaluate the Company’s performance and manage its operations and frequently references these non-GAAP financial measures in its decision-making, using them to facilitate historical and ongoing performance comparisons. Additionally, management uses Operating EPS by segment to further evaluate the Company’s performance by segment and references this non-GAAP financial measure in its decision-making. Management believes that the non-GAAP financial measures of Operating earnings (loss), Operating EPS, Operating EPS by segment, and pro forma earnings per share, provide consistent and comparable measures of performance of its businesses on an ongoing basis. Management also believes that such measures are useful to shareholders and other interested parties to understand performance trends and evaluate the Company against its peer group by presenting period-over-period operating results without the effect of certain charges or benefits that may not be consistent or comparable across periods or across the Company’s peer group. All of these non-GAAP financial measures are intended to complement, and are not considered as alternatives to, the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures. Also, the non-GAAP financial measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other entities. Pursuant to the requirements of Regulation G, FE has provided, where possible without unreasonable effort, quantitative reconciliations within this presentation of the non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures.

Credit Profile As of October 24, 2022 Strategic & Financial Highlights – Published October 25, 2022 (1) S&P could raise the ratings on FE and its subsidiaries over the next 12-24 months if FE maintains FFO to debt of consistently above 12% or improves its management and governance. This could occur if FE reduces its leverage and demonstrates it can effectively manage its regulatory risk on a consistent basis. (6/24/22 Credit Opinion) (2) Moody’s rating upgrade could be considered if the regulatory environments in all of FE’s jurisdictions remain stable and FE demonstrates more of a track record of implementing corporate governance and internal control changes and continues to improve its risk profile, both from a financial and corporate governance standpoint. Also, if FE’s financial metrics improve, including CFO pre-WC to debt above 12%, a rating upgrade could be possible.
