2 Forward-Looking Statements This presentation contains statements regarding PG&E Corporation’s and Pacific Gas and Electric Company’s (the “Utility”) future performance, including expectations, objectives, and forecasts about operating results (including 2024 non-GAAP core earnings), equity needs, rate base growth, capital expenditures, cash flow, cost reductions, customer bills, wildfire risk mitigation, future dividends, and regulatory developments. These statements and other statements that are not purely historical constitute forward-looking statements that are necessarily subject to various risks and uncertainties. Actual results may differ materially from those described in forward-looking statements. PG&E Corporation and the Utility are not able to predict all the factors that may affect future results. Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially include, but are not limited to, risks and uncertainties associated with: • wildfires that have occurred in the Utility’s territory, including the extent of the Utility’s liability in connection with the 2019 Kincade fire, the 2020 Zogg fire, the 2021 Dixie fire, the 2022 Mosquito fire, and future wildfires; • the Utility’s ability to recover wildfire-related costs, including costs for the 2021 Dixie fire, from the Wildfire Fund (including the Utility’s maintenance of a valid safety certificate and whether the Wildfire Fund has sufficient remaining funds) and through the WEMA and FERC TO rate cases; • the Utility’s implementation of its wildfire mitigation programs, including PSPS, EPSS, situational awareness and response, the undergrounding initiative, and the programs’ effectiveness; • the Utility’s ability to safely and reliably operate, maintain, construct, and decommission its facilities; • changes in the electric power and natural gas industries driven by technological advancements and a decarbonized economy; • a cyber incident, cybersecurity breach, or physical attack; • severe weather events, extended drought, and climate change, particularly their impact on the likelihood and severity of wildfires; • the impact of legislative and regulatory developments, including those regarding wildfires, the environment, California’s clean energy goals, the nuclear industry, extended operations at Diablo Canyon nuclear power plant, regulation of utilities’ transactions with their affiliates, municipalization, privacy, and taxes; • the timing and outcome of FERC and CPUC proceedings, including regarding ratemaking, cost recovery, and the application to transfer non-nuclear generation assets; • the outcome of self-reports, investigations, or other enforcement actions; • PG&E Corporation and the Utility’s substantial indebtedness, which may adversely affect their financial health and limit their operating flexibility; • the ability of PG&E Corporation and the Utility to finance through securitization up to $1.385 billion of remaining fire risk mitigation capital expenditures that were or will be incurred by the Utility; • the timing and outcome of PG&E Corporation’s and the Utility’s litigation, including securities class action claims, and wildfire-related litigation; • the Utility’s ability to manage its costs effectively, timely recover costs through rates, and achieve projected savings and the extent of excess unrecoverable costs; • the tax treatment of certain assets and liabilities, including whether PG&E Corporation or the Utility undergoes an “ownership change” that limits certain tax attributes; • the impact of growing distributed and renewable generation resources, and changing customer demand for its natural gas and electric services; and • the other factors disclosed in PG&E Corporation’s and the Utility’s joint Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023 (the “Form 10-K”) and other reports filed with the SEC, which are available on PG&E Corporation’s website at www.pgecorp.com and on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov. Undefined, capitalized terms have the meanings set forth in the Form 10-K. Unless otherwise indicated, the statements in this presentation are made as of February 22, 2024. PG&E Corporation and the Utility undertake no obligation to update information contained herein.

See Appendix 12, Exhibits A and C for reconciliations of EPS results and guidance, respectively, on a GAAP basis to non-GAAP core earnings per share and Appendix 12, Exhibit E regarding non-GAAP financial measures. Slide 4: Simple, Affordable Model In Action 1. Gray line illustrates headwinds and tailwinds to delivering on annual non-GAAP core EPS guidance, as well as the impact of PG&E Corporation's and the Utility's responses to such developments. For instance, headwinds may include cost productivity below budget; unfavorable regulatory, legislative, or tax outcomes; interest expense; or assumptions or planning regarding the foregoing. Tailwinds may include cost productivity above budget; favorable regulatory, legislative, or tax outcomes; interest income; or assumptions or planning regarding the foregoing. Redeployment may include accelerating work; timing of adoption of tax or accounting standards; timing of regulatory settlements; additional safety inspections; and contributions to The PG&E Corporation Foundation. 2. Non-GAAP core EPS for the full year 2020 was $1.61 based on weighted average of approximately 1.257 billion shares outstanding. For illustrative purposes, 2020 non-GAAP core EPS has been recast using common shares outstanding on a fully diluted basis as of December 31, 2020 of approximately 2.124 billion shares. Non-GAAP core EPS for the full year 2021 was $1.00 per share on a fully diluted basis and $1.08 using a basic share count. The impact of dilution was $(0.08) per share. See Appendix 9, Exhibit A of the earnings presentation for the fourth quarter and full year 2021, available here, for a reconciliation of EPS results on a GAAP basis to non-GAAP core earnings per share and Appendix 9, Exhibit H regarding non-GAAP financial measures. 3.

Slide 6: Affordable Business Model 1. Factors that may cause customer bills to differ from forecast include risks and uncertainties associated with energy supply costs, emergency response costs, the timing and outcomes of regulatory proceedings, and customer energy usage. This forecast assumes procurement costs remain constant. Slide 7: Physical Risk Mitigations 1. Based on a comparison in the Utility's GRC testimony of the wildfire risk score for a baseline risk level to a risk level reflecting the Utility’s mitigation work. Risk scores are calculated using the scoring methodology established by the CPUC in the Safety Model Assessment Proceeding, which reflects the frequency with which various risks are expected to occur and the potential safety, reliability, and financial impacts of varying degrees of wildfire severity. 2. A reportable fire incident per Decision 14-02-015 is a fire event that meets the following criteria: 1) ignition is associated with the Utility's power lines (either transmission or distribution), 2) something other than the Utility's facilities burned, and 3) the resulting fire travelled more than one meter from the ignition point.

45 Non-GAAP Core Earnings and Non-GAAP Core EPS “Non-GAAP core earnings” and “Non-GAAP core EPS,” also referred to as “non-GAAP core earnings per share,” are non-GAAP financial measures. Non-GAAP core earnings is calculated as income available for common shareholders less non-core items. “Non-core items” include items that management does not consider representative of ongoing earnings and affect comparability of financial results between periods, consisting of the items listed in Exhibit A. Non-GAAP core EPS is calculated as non-GAAP core earnings divided by common shares outstanding on a diluted basis. PG&E Corporation discloses historical financial results and provides guidance based on “non-GAAP core earnings” and “non-GAAP core EPS” 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 non-core items. PG&E Corporation and the Utility use non-GAAP core earnings and non-GAAP core EPS 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 and the Utility believe that non-GAAP core earnings and non-GAAP core EPS provide additional insight into the underlying trends of the business, allowing for a better comparison against historical results and expectations for future performance. With respect to our projection of non-GAAP core EPS for the years 2024-2026, PG&E Corporation is unable to predict with reasonable certainty the reconciling items that may affect GAAP net income without unreasonable effort. The reconciling items are primarily due to the future impact of wildfire-related costs, timing of regulatory recoveries, special tax items, and investigation remedies. These reconciling items are uncertain, depend on various factors and could significantly impact, either individually or in the aggregate, the GAAP measures. Non-GAAP core earnings and non-GAAP core EPS are not substitutes or alternatives for GAAP measures such as consolidated income available for common shareholders and may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies.
