PG&E CORPORATION REPORTS 2007 RESULTS,
 
REAFFIRMS GUIDANCE FOR 2008, 2009
 
CORPORATION INCREASES COMMON STOCK DIVIDEND,
 
 UTILITY DECLARES PREFERRED STOCK DIVIDENDS
 
§  
PG&E Corporation’s consolidated net income reported under GAAP was $1,006 million, or $2.78 per share, for the year ended December 31, 2007, compared with $991 million, or $2.76 per share, in 2006. All per-share amounts are presented on a diluted basis.
 
§  
Consolidated net income reported under GAAP for the fourth quarter was $203 million, or $0.56 per share, compared with $152 million, or $0.43 per share, in the same quarter of 2006.
 
§  
Guidance for 2008 earnings from operations is reaffirmed at $2.90 to $3.00 per share. Guidance for 2009 earnings from operations is reaffirmed at $3.15 to $3.25 per share.
 
§  
PG&E Corporation is raising its quarterly common stock dividend to $0.39 per share from $0.36 per share, beginning with the first quarter 2008 payment.  Its utility subsidiary, Pacific Gas and Electric Company (Utility), declared preferred stock dividends for the three-month period ending April 30, 2008.

(San Francisco) – PG&E Corporation’s (NYSE:PCG) consolidated net income for the year ended December 31, 2007, reported in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) was $1,006 million, or $2.78 per share, compared with $991 million, or $2.76 per share, in 2006.
For the fourth quarter of 2007, PG&E Corporation’s consolidated net income was $203 million, or $0.56 cents per share, compared with $152 million, or $0.43 per share, in the same quarter of 2006.  On a non-GAAP earnings from operations basis, PG&E Corporation’s results in the fourth quarter of 2007 were $0.56 per share, compared with $0.48 per share in the fourth quarter of 2006.

The quarter-over-quarter difference in earnings from operations primarily reflects earnings on a higher capital investment in the Utility’s energy infrastructure, consistent with regulatory approvals.
On a year-to-year basis, the difference between 2006 and 2007 net income did not fully reflect the earnings on higher capital investment because certain events that increased 2006 net income did not recur in 2007. For 2006, these items impacting comparability primarily reflect the authorized recovery of costs associated with electric transmission scheduling services provided by the Utility dating back to 1998 (see “Reconciliation of Earnings from Operations to Consolidated Net Income in Accordance with GAAP” in the accompanying financial tables).  There were no items impacting comparability during 2007; earnings from operations and GAAP earnings were the same.
“PG&E Corporation delivered solid 2007 earnings in the upper half of our guidance range,” said Peter A. Darbee, Chairman, CEO and President of PG&E Corporation.  “In 2008 we will continue to focus our attention on infrastructure investment and providing our customers with clean and reliable power, safely and cost effectively.
“We will also continue to exert a leadership role to address climate change. We believe that our leadership in this area is not only the right thing to do, but also what our customers, regulators and policymakers want us to do. Therefore, it is in the best interest of our shareholders,” Darbee added.

EARNINGS GUIDANCE
 

PG&E Corporation reaffirms guidance for 2008 earnings from operations in the $2.90 to $3.00 per share range and reaffirms guidance for 2009 earnings from operations in the $3.15 to $3.25 per share range.
Guidance assumes that the Utility earns at least its authorized return on equity while growing its asset base and controlling its costs in line with regulatory approvals, and that the ratemaking capital structure is maintained at 52 percent equity.
PG&E Corporation discloses historical results and bases guidance on “earnings from operations” in order to provide a measure that allows investors to compare the
Page 2 of 5
 

underlying financial performance of the business from one period to another, exclusive of items that management believes do not reflect the normal course of operations. Earnings from operations are not a substitute or alternative for consolidated net income presented in accordance with GAAP (see the accompanying financial tables for a reconciliation of earnings from operations to consolidated net income in accordance with GAAP- historical results and EPS guidance)

COMMON STOCK AND PREFERRED STOCK DIVIDENDS
 
PG&E Corporation is raising its quarterly common stock dividend to $0.39 per share from $0.36 per share, beginning with the first quarter 2008 dividend.  The dividend is payable on April 15, 2008, to shareholders of record on March 31, 2008.
“We intend to consider further increases in the common stock dividend when justified by further growth in earnings,” Darbee said.
In addition, the Utility declared dividends on all outstanding series of its preferred stock for the three months ending April 30, 2008.  The dividends will be payable on May 15, 2008, to shareholders of record on April 30, 2008.
In order to be considered a shareholder of record for the common and preferred dividend payments, you must have purchased the stock at least three trading days before the applicable record date.
The Utility will pay dividends on its eight series of preferred stock as follows:
First Preferred Stock, $25 Par Value

This press release contains forward-looking statements regarding management’s guidance for PG&E Corporation’s 2008 and 2009 earnings per share from operations. These statements are based on current expectations and various assumptions which management believes are reasonable, including that the Utility’s rate base averages $18.4 billion in 2008 and $20.8 billion in 2009, that the Utility earns at least its authorized rate of return on equity, that the Utility’s ratemaking capital structure is maintained at 52 percent equity, and that the Utility is successful in implementing its initiatives to become more efficient and reduce costs. These statements and assumptions are necessarily subject to various risks and uncertainties, the realization or resolution of which are outside of management's control. Actual results may differ materially. Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially include:

·  
the Utility’s ability to manage capital expenditures and operating costs within authorized levels and recover costs through rates in a timely manner;

·  
the outcome of regulatory proceedings, including pending and future ratemaking proceedings at the California Public Utilities Commission and the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission;

·  
the adequacy and price of electricity and natural gas supplies, and the ability of the Utility to manage and respond to the volatility of the electricity and natural gas markets;

·  
the effect of weather, storms, earthquakes, fires, floods, disease, other natural disasters, explosions, accidents, mechanical breakdowns, acts of terrorism, and other events or hazards on the Utility’s facilities and operations, its customers, and third parties on which the Utility relies;

·  
the potential impacts of climate change on the Utility’s electricity and natural gas businesses;

·  
changes in customer demand for electricity and natural gas resulting from unanticipated population growth or decline, general economic and financial market conditions, changes in technology, including the development of alternative energy sources, or other reasons;


Page 4 of 5
 
 

 
·  
operating performance of the Utility’s Diablo Canyon nuclear generating facilities (Diablo Canyon), the occurrence of unplanned outages at Diablo Canyon, or the temporary or permanent cessation of operations at Diablo Canyon;

·  
whether the Utility can maintain the cost efficiencies it has recognized from its completed initiatives to improve business processes and customer service, improve its performance following the October 2007 implementation of new work processes and systems, and identify and successfully implement additional cost-saving measures;

·  
whether the Utility incurs substantial unanticipated expense to improve the safety and reliability of its electric and natural gas distribution systems;

·  
whether the Utility achieves the CPUC's energy efficiency targets and recognizes any incentives the Utility may earn in a timely manner;

·  
the impact of changes in federal or state laws, or their interpretation, on energy policy and the regulation of utilities and their holding companies;

·  
the impact of changing wholesale electric or gas market rules, including new rules of the California Independent System Operator (CAISO) to restructure the California wholesale electricity market;

·  
how the CPUC administers the conditions imposed on PG&E Corporation when it became the Utility’s holding company;

·  
the extent to which PG&E Corporation or the Utility incurs costs and liabilities in connection with litigation that are not recoverable through rates, from insurance, or from other third parties;

·  
the impact of environmental laws and regulations and the costs of compliance and remediation;

·

Management's statements regarding 2008 and 2009 guidance for earnings from operations per common share for PG&E Corporation, estimated rate base for 2008 and 2009, and general sensitivities for 2008 and 2009 earnings, constitute forward-looking statements that are based on current expectations and assumptions which management believes are reasonable, including that the Utility earns its authorized rate of return. These statements and assumptions are necessarily subject to various risks and uncertainties.  Actual results may differ materially.  Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially include:

·
the Utility’s ability to manage capital expenditures and operating costs within authorized levels and recover costs through rates in a timely manner;
   
·
the outcome of regulatory proceedings, including pending and future ratemaking proceedings at the CPUC and the FERC;
   
·
the adequacy and price of electricity and natural gas supplies, and the ability of the Utility to manage and respond to the volatility of the electricity and natural gas markets;
   
·
the effect of weather, storms, earthquakes, fires, floods, disease, other natural disasters, explosions, accidents, mechanical breakdowns, acts of terrorism, and other events or hazards on the Utility’s facilities and operations, its customers, and third parties on which the Utility relies;
   
·
the potential impacts of climate change on the Utility’s electricity and natural gas businesses;
   
·
changes in customer demand for electricity and natural gas resulting from unanticipated population growth or decline, general economic and financial market conditions, changes in technology, including the development of alternative energy sources, or other reasons;
   
·
operating performance of the Utility’s Diablo Canyon nuclear generating facilities (“Diablo Canyon”), the occurrence of unplanned outages at Diablo Canyon, or the temporary or permanent cessation of operations at Diablo Canyon;
   
·
whether the Utility can maintain the cost efficiencies it has recognized from its completed initiatives to improve its business processes and customer service, improve its performance following the October 2007 implementation of new work processes and systems, and identify and successfully implement additional cost-savings measures;

 
 


 
 
 
(continued): PG&E Corporation Earnings per Common Share Guidance

DEFINITIONS OF 2007 OPERATIONAL PERFORMANCE METRICS FROM TABLE 6:

1.
Earnings from Operations:
 
 
Earnings from operations measures PG&E Corporation’s earnings power from ongoing core operations.  It allows investors to compare the underlying financial performance of the business from one period to another, exclusive of items that management believes do not reflect the normal course of operations (items impacting comparability).  The measurement is not in accordance with GAAP.  For a reconciliation of earnings from operations to consolidated net income in accordance with GAAP, see Tables 2 and 3 above.
 
The 2007 target for earnings from operations is based on the Utility’s 2007 authorized return on equity.  This target is not publicly reported but is consistent with PG&E Corporation’s publicly disclosed guidance range provided for 2007 EPS from operations of $2.70-$2.80.
   
2.
J.D. Power Customer Satisfaction Index:
 
 
Pacific Gas and Electric Company measures residential and business customer satisfaction with annual industry-wide surveys conducted by J.D. Power and Associates, as well as with proprietary studies using the same survey methodology in interim periods.  The overall customer satisfaction metric represents the year-to-date average of the residential and business overall customer satisfaction scores from both the J.D. Power-administered and proprietary surveys. The metric is calculated by first combining the available residential and business satisfaction scores (weighted 60% and 40%, respectively) in each period surveyed and then averaging all available composite scores for the year-to-date metric value.
   
3.
Business Transformation Performance:
 
 
The Business Transformation (BT) index is comprised of five measurement points that define success in achieving key BT operational, financial, and post-BT implementation objectives.  These five measurement points are:
 
a.             Overall BT cost performance in comparison to budgeted amounts;
 
b.             Overall BT benefit performance in comparison to planned/budgeted amounts;
 
c.             New business customer connection performance improvement for cycle time and number of customer commitments met;
 
d.             SmartMeterTM project performance for number of meters installed and activated; and
 
e.             BT Foundational release schedule and scope success.
 
The measurement points are individually scored on an index scaled from 0 to 2.  These scores then are averaged with equal weighting to calculate the overall BT performance index score.
   
4.
Employee Engagement Premier Survey:
 
 
The employee engagement premier survey is designed around 15 key drivers of employee engagement.  The average overall employee engagement score provides a comprehensive metric that is derived by averaging the percent favorable responses from all 40 core survey items (all fall into one of the 15 key drivers).
   
5.
Safety Performance:
 
 
The OSHA Recordable Rate measures the number of OSHA Recordable injuries, illnesses, or exposures that (1) satisfy OSHA requirements for recordability, and (2) occur in the current year.  In general, an injury must result in medical treatment beyond first aid or result in work restrictions, death, or loss of consciousness to be OSHA Recordable.  The rate measures how frequently OSHA Recordable cases occur for every 200,000 hours worked, or for approximately every 100 employees.

Management's statements regarding 2008 and 2009 guidance for earnings from operations per common share for PG&E Corporation, estimated rate base for 2008 and 2009, and general sensitivities for 2008 and 2009 earnings, constitute forward-looking statements that are based on current expectations and assumptions which management believes are reasonable, including that the Utility earns its authorized rate of return. These statements and assumptions are necessarily subject to various risks and uncertainties. Actual results may differ materially. Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially include:
 

·
the Utility’s ability to manage capital expenditures and operating costs within authorized levels and recover costs through rates in a timely manner;
   
·
the outcome of regulatory proceedings, including pending and future ratemaking proceedings at the CPUC and the FERC;
   
·
the adequacy and price of electricity and natural gas supplies, and the ability of the Utility to manage and respond to the volatility of the electricity and natural gas markets;
   
·
the effect of weather, storms, earthquakes, fires, floods, disease, other natural disasters, explosions, accidents, mechanical breakdowns, acts of terrorism, and other events or hazards on the Utility’s facilities and operations, its customers, and third parties on which the Utility relies;
   
·
the potential impacts of climate change on the Utility’s electricity and natural gas businesses;
   
·
changes in customer demand for electricity and natural gas resulting from unanticipated population growth or decline, general economic and financial market conditions, changes in technology, including the development of alternative energy sources, or other reasons;
   
·
operating performance of the Utility’s Diablo Canyon nuclear generating facilities (“Diablo Canyon”), the occurrence of unplanned outages at Diablo Canyon, or the temporary or permanent cessation of operations at Diablo Canyon;
   
·
whether the Utility can maintain the cost efficiencies it has recognized from its completed initiatives to improve its business processes and customer service, improve its performance following the October 2007 implementation of new work processes and systems, and identify and successfully implement additional cost-savings measures;

·
whether the Utility incurs substantial unanticipated expense to improve the safety and reliability of its electric and natural gas distribution systems;
   
·
whether the Utility achieves the CPUC’s energy efficiency targets and recognizes any incentives the Utility may earn in a timely manner;
   
·
the impact of changes in federal or state laws, or their interpretation, on energy policy and the regulation of utilities and their holding companies;
   
·
the impact of changing wholesale electric or gas market rules, including new rules of the California Independent System Operator (“CAISO”) to restructure the California wholesale electricity market;
   
·
how the CPUC administers the conditions imposed on PG&E Corporation when it became the Utility’s holding company;
   
·
the extent to which PG&E Corporation or the Utility incurs costs and liabilities in connection with litigation that are not recoverable through rates, from insurance, or from other third parties;
   
·
the ability of PG&E Corporation and/or the Utility to access capital markets and other sources of credit in a timely manner on favorable terms;
   
·
the impact of environmental laws and regulations and the costs of compliance and remediation;
   
·
the effect of municipalization, direct access, community choice aggregation, or other forms of bypass;

Docket Numbers of Selected Regulatory Cases

 

Name
Brief Description
Docket Number
     
Cost of Capital 2008
CPUC proceeding to establish capital structure and increase the currently authorized rate of return on equity and rate base for 2008.  CPUC issued a final decision on December 20, 2007, maintaining the Utility’s authorized ROE at 11.35% and its common equity ratio at 52%.
In a second phase of the proceeding, the Utility also has proposed to replace the annual cost of capital proceeding with an annual cost of capital adjustment mechanism for the five-year period 2009 to 2013.  A final decision in the second phase is scheduled to be issued by April 24, 2008.  PG&E Corporation and the Utility are unable to predict the outcome of this phase of the proceeding.

Transmission Owner 10 Rate Case
(TO10)
Primary FERC rate-making proceeding to determine electric transmission revenues and wholesale and retail transmission rates.  Application filed on July 30, 2007.  Order issued September 28, 2007, accepting proposed revenue requirement subject to hearing and refund effective March 1, 2008.
 
ER07-1213-000
Energy Efficiency Order Instituting Rulemaking (OIR) Post-2005
On September 20, 2007, and modified on January 30, 2008, the CPUC established incentive ratemaking mechanisms applicable to the California investor-owned utilities’ implementation of their 2006-2008 and 2009-2011 energy efficiency program cycles.  To earn incentives, the utilities must (1) achieve at least 85% of the CPUC’s overall savings goal over the three-year program cycle and (2) achieve at least 80% of the individual kWh, kW, and therm savings metric goals over the three-year program cycle. If the utilities achieve less than 65% of any one of the individual savings metric goals, then the utilities must reimburse customers.  The maximum amount that the Utility could earn, and the maximum amount that the Utility could be required to reimburse customers, over the 2006-2008 program cycle is $180 million. The utilities can submit 2 interim claims but 35% of the incentives or reimbursement obligations calculated for each interim claim be “held back” until completion of measurement studies verifying the actual energy savings for the entire three-year program cycle. The final true up claim may result in an adjustment to the interim claims but as long as the final measured energy savings are at least 65% of the CPUC savings goals, the utilities will not be required to pay back any incentives earned on an interim basis.

Colusa Power Project CPCN
 
CPUC proceeding requesting a Certificate of Public Convenience and Necessity (“CPCN”) to allow the Utility to begin the construction of a 657 MW power plant in Colusa County (“Colusa Project”).  The Colusa Project was approved by the CPUC in the 2004 Long Term Request for Offer to be developed by a third party (E&L Westcoast) and purchased by PG&E upon completion.  E&L Westcoast has decided not to proceed with the project.  PG&E has purchased the development assets from E&L and requests the CPCN to allow it to step in as developer.  PG&E will retain the previously approved ratemaking (cost of service based on the previously adopted cost cap of $673 million).
 
A.07-11-009
Smart Meter Program Upgrade Application
 
CPUC proceeding requesting approval to upgrade elements of the SmartMeter™ program. The Utility seeks approval to install upgraded electric meters that would offer an expanded range of service features for customers and increased operational efficiencies for the Utility.  These upgraded electric meters would provide energy conservation and demand response options for electric customers.
