Item 2.02 Results of Operations and Financial Condition

On November 2, 2020, FirstEnergy Corp. (FirstEnergy or Company) issued two public documents which, among other things: provide results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020; update its full year 2020 GAAP guidance and affirm its operating (non-GAAP) earnings guidance for the full year 2020. FirstEnergy’s Press Release and 3Q 2020 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 2020 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 2020 Strategic and Financial Highlights contain references to non-GAAP financial measures including, among others, Operating earnings (loss); Operating earnings (loss) per share; Operating earnings (loss) per share on a segment basis. 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 also reflect the adjustment to include the full impact of share dilution from the $2.5 billion equity issuance in January 2018. 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 Operating earnings (loss) per share growth projections because these items, which could be significant, are difficult to predict and may be highly variable. Consequently, the Company is unable to reconcile Operating earnings (loss) per share growth projections to a GAAP measure without unreasonable effort. Operating earnings (loss) per share and Operating earnings (loss) per share for each segment is calculated by dividing Operating earnings (loss), which excludes specials items as discussed herein, for the periods presented in 2020 by 542 million shares, 540 million shares for the third quarter of 2019 and 539 million shares for the first nine months of 2019, which reflects the full impact of share dilution from the equity issuance in January 2018. Basic EPS (GAAP) is based on 542 million shares for the periods presented in 2020, and 538 million and 533 million shares for the third quarter and first nine months of 2019, respectively. 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 and Operating earnings (loss) per share by segment 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.

Item 8.01 Other Events

You should carefully consider the risk factors discussed in "Item 1A. Risk Factors" in FirstEnergy’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019, and its Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the quarters ended March 31, 2020 and June 30, 2020, which could materially affect FirstEnergy’s business, financial condition or future results. The risk factor presented below, updates and should be read in conjunction with, the risk factors and information disclosed in FirstEnergy’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019, and its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarters ended March 31, 2020 and June 30, 2020.

We Have Received Requests for Information Related to Government Investigations. The Investigations and Related Litigation, as well as any Related Potential Adverse Impacts on Federal or State Regulatory Matters, Could Have a Material Adverse Effect on our Reputation, Business, Financial Condition, Results of Operations, Liquidity or Cash Flows.

On July 21, 2020, we received subpoenas for records from the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of Ohio requesting the production of information concerning an investigation surrounding Ohio House Bill 6 involving the now former Ohio House Speaker Larry Householder and other individuals and entities allegedly affiliated with Mr. Householder. Following the

announcement of the investigation surrounding Ohio House Bill 6, certain of our stockholders and customers filed several lawsuits against us and certain current and former directors, officers and other employees. In addition, on August 10, 2020, the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), through its Division of Enforcement, issued an order directing an investigation of possible securities laws violations by FirstEnergy, and on September 1, 2020, issued subpoenas to FirstEnergy and certain of its officers. We are cooperating with the U.S. Attorney’s Office and the SEC in their investigations. See Note 10, “Commitments, Guarantees and Contingencies,” of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2020, for additional details on the government investigation and subsequent litigation surrounding the investigation of Ohio House Bill 6

The investigations and related litigation could divert management’s focus and result in substantial investigation expenses, or otherwise require the commitment of substantial corporate resources. Furthermore, the investigations have had, and are likely to continue to have, an adverse impact on the trading prices of our securities. The outcome of the government investigations and related litigation is inherently uncertain. If one or more legal matters were resolved against us, our reputation, business, financial condition, results of operations, liquidity or cash flows may be adversely affected. Further, such an outcome could result in significant compensatory or punitive monetary damages, remedial corporate measures or other relief against us that could adversely impact our operations.

Additionally, we are subject to comprehensive regulation by various federal, state and local regulatory agencies that significantly influence our operating environment. Any appearance of non-compliance with anti-corruption and anti-bribery laws could have an adverse impact on our reputation or relationships with regulatory authorities, result in a material inquiry or investigation by such federal, state and local regulatory agencies, and result in adverse rulings against us, which could have a material adverse impact on our financial condition and operating results. Specifically, the rates our utilities and transmission operating companies are allowed to charge may be decreased as a result of actions taken by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission or by a state regulatory commission in which the utility operates, whether as a result of the investigations by the U.S. Attorney’s Office and the SEC, the appearance of non-compliance with anti-corruption and anti-bribery laws, or otherwise.

We are unable to predict the outcome, duration, scope, result or related costs of the investigations and related litigation, or adverse impacts on federal or state regulatory matters, including with respect to rates, and, therefore, any of these risks could impact us significantly beyond expectations. Moreover, we are unable to predict the potential for any additional investigations, litigation or regulatory actions, any of which could exacerbate these risks or expose us to potential criminal or civil liabilities, sanctions or other remedial measures, and could have a material adverse effect on our reputation, business, financial condition, results of operations, liquidity or cash flows.

FirstEnergy Announces Third Quarter 2020 Financial Results

Affirms 2020 Guidance, Long-Term Growth Projections;

Leadership to Discuss Results and Management Transition

During Investor Call at 9 a.m. EST Today

Akron, Ohio – FirstEnergy Corp. (NYSE: FE) today reported third quarter 2020 GAAP earnings of $454 million, or $0.84 per basic and diluted share of common stock, on revenue of $3 billion. In the third quarter of 2019, FirstEnergy reported GAAP earnings of $391 million, or $0.73 per basic share of common stock ($0.72 diluted), on revenue of $3 billion. Third quarter 2019 results include the impact of special items listed below.

Operating (non-GAAP) earnings* for the third quarter of 2020 were also $0.84 per share, one cent per share above the company’s guidance range. In the third quarter of 2019, operating (non-GAAP) earnings were $0.76 per share.

“Our strong third quarter results reflect the hard work, resiliency and attention to safety demonstrated by our employees during this year of unprecedented challenges,” said Steven E. Strah, FirstEnergy’s acting chief executive officer.

“While our Board initiated changes to our leadership team last week, our company’s primary focus remains the same: providing reliable service to our customers and executing our growth initiatives,” he said.

FirstEnergy updated its full-year 2020 GAAP earnings forecast range to $700 million to $1.16 billion, or $1.29 to $2.14 per share based on 542 million shares outstanding, and affirmed its full-year operating (non-GAAP) earnings guidance of $2.40 to $2.60 per share.

The company also affirmed its long-term growth rate projections. FirstEnergy remains on track to achieve 6% to 8% compound annual operating (non-GAAP) earnings growth (CAGR)** from 2018 to 2021, as well as its extended CAGR of 5% to 7% through 2023. That projection includes plans to issue up to $600 million of equity annually starting in 2022 to fund the company’s regulated growth initiatives.

Third Quarter Results

In FirstEnergy’s Regulated Distribution business, third quarter 2020 operating results benefited from higher residential volume, incremental rider revenues in Ohio and Pennsylvania, and weather-related usage. These drivers were partially offset by higher depreciation expense compared to the third quarter of 2019.

Total distribution deliveries decreased 1.7% compared to the third quarter of 2019, primarily due to the impact of the pandemic on commercial and industrial sales.Residential sales increased 5.1% as many people continue to work and attend school from home. Commercial deliveries decreased 5.5%, while sales to industrial customers decreased 6.3%.

In the Regulated Transmission business, third quarter 2020 operating results were flat compared to the same period in 2019 as higher rate base associated with the company’s ongoing investments in its Energizing the Future transmission program were offset by higher net financing costs and taxes.

In the Corporate/Other segment, third quarter 2020 operating results reflect higher tax benefits compared to the same quarter of 2019, partially offset by higher expenses.

For the first nine months of 2020, FirstEnergy reported GAAP earnings of $837 million, or $1.54 per basic and diluted share of common stock, on revenue of $8.3 billion. This compares to GAAP earnings of $1 billion, or $1.90 per basic share of common stock ($1.89 diluted), on revenue of $8.4 billion in the first nine months of 2019. Results for both periods reflect the impact of special items listed below.

Operating (non-GAAP) earnings* for the first nine months of 2020 were $2.07 per share, compared to $2.04 per share in the first nine months of 2019.

Operating EPS (non-GAAP)		$0.84	$0.76	$2.07	$2.04	$2.40 - $2.60
Per share amounts for the special items and earnings drivers above and throughout this report are based on the after-tax effect of each item divided by the number of shares outstanding for the period assuming full impact of dilution from the $2.5 billion equity issuance in January 2018. The current and deferred income tax effect, which ranges from 21% to 29% in all periods, was calculated by applying the subsidiaries' statutory tax rate to the pre-tax amount if deductible/taxable. *** Based on current discount rates ranging from 2.7% - 3.0% for the pension and OPEB plans, and actual gains since the last remeasurement date of February 27, 2020, through September 30, 2020, of 6.1% and 5.0% for the Pension and OPEB plan assets, respectively. Pension and OPEB plan assets have gained approximately 9.2% and 5.7%, respectively, for the nine months ended September 30, 2020.

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 also reflect the adjustment to include the full impact of share dilution from the $2.5 billion equity issuance in January 2018. 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 in 2020 by 542 million shares, 540 million shares for the third quarter of 2019 and 539 million shares in the first nine months of 2019, which reflects the full impact of share dilution from the equity issuance in January 2018. Basic EPS (GAAP) is based on 542 million shares for the periods presented in 2020, and 538 million and 533 million shares for the third quarter and first nine months of 2019, respectively. Management believes that the non-GAAP financial measures of Operating earnings (loss) and Operating earnings (loss) per share and Operating earnings (loss) per share by segment 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. 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.

** The Company’s management team cannot estimate on a forward-looking basis the impact of special items in the context of Operating earnings (loss) per share growth projections because special items, which could be significant, are difficult to predict and may be highly variable. Consequently, the Company is unable to reconcile Operating earnings (loss) per share growth projections to a GAAP measure without unreasonable effort.

Non-GAAP Financial Matters This presentation contains references to non-GAAP financial measures including, among others, Operating earnings (loss), Operating earnings (loss) per share and Operating earnings (loss) per share by segment.

(FE or the Company) management cannot estimate on a forward-looking basis the impact of these items in the context of Operating earnings (loss) per share growth projections because these items, which could be significant, are difficult to predict and may be highly variable. Consequently, the Company is unable to reconcile Operating earnings (loss) per share growth projections (i.e. CAGR) to a GAAP measure without unreasonable effort. Operating earnings (loss) per share and Operating earnings (loss) per share for each segment are calculated by dividing Operating earnings (loss), which excludes special items as discussed above, for the periods presented in 2020 by 542 million shares, 540 million shares for the third quarter of 2019 and 539 million shares in the first nine months of 2019, which reflects the full impact of share dilution from the equity issuance in January 2018. Basic EPS (GAAP) is based on 542 million shares for the periods presented in 2020, and 538 million and 533 million shares for the third quarter and first nine months of 2019, respectively. 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 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 earnings (loss) per share and Operating earnings (loss) per share by segment provide consistent and comparable measures of performance of the Company’s 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. 2 November 2, 2020
