Note:

For the purpose of computing PG&E Corporation’s ratios of earnings to fixed charges, “earnings” represent income from continuing operations adjusted for income taxes, fixed charges (excluding capitalized interest), and pre-tax earnings required to cover the preferred stock dividend of consolidated subsidiaries. “Fixed charges” include interest on long-term debt and short-term borrowings (including a representative portion of rental expense), amortization of bond premium, discount and expense, interest on capital leases, AFUDC debt, and earnings required to cover preferred stock dividends of consolidated subsidiaries. Fixed charges exclude interest on tax liabilities.
