Summary
Summary of the 10-Q filed April 24, 2025. Cited figures are marked; the original filing is the authoritative source.
PG&E Corporation and the Utility (Pacific Gas and Electric Company) filed a combined Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2025.
Consolidated net income for PG&E Corporation was $634 million, compared to $735 milliona in the prior-year quarter, and income available for common shareholders was $607 million versus $732 million. Diluted EPS was $0.28 compared to $0.34. The Utility's revenues rose to $5.98 billion, while its net income fell to $695 million from $781 million, driven by higher depreciation and wildfire-related claims charges of $50 million tied to the 2019 Kincade fire.
Cash from operations rose to $2.95 billionb for the Utility. Wildfire exposure remains the dominant investor concern. The filing records aggregate liabilities of $1.275 billion for the 2019 Kincade fire, $1.925 billion for the 2021 Dixie fire, and $100 million for the 2022 Mosquito fire, each before insurance.
Recorded Wildfire Fund receivables, regulatory recovery receivables, and insurance receivables are substantial, but the filing notes that the CPUC has not yet interpreted the revised AB 1054 prudency standard and recovery is not assured. The Utility also had about $8.0 billionc of total liquidity at quarter-end and is planning $12.9 billion of capital expenditures in 2025.
Financing activity included $1.0 billiond and $750 million of first mortgage bonds issued in February 2025, and the Utility has not yet borrowed under the $15 billion DOE loan guarantee facility. The company also filed a 2026 cost of capital request seeking an 11.30% return on common equity and submitted its 2026-2028 wildfire mitigation plan to the OEIS in April 2025.

05—Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
Why did net income decline year over year?
The Utility's net income fell to $695 million from $781 million. Operating income declined to $1.228 billion from $1.281 billion, with depreciation, amortization, and decommissioning rising $75 million, and wildfire-related claims, net of recoveries, increasing by $50 million due to a Kincade fire charge. Interest income also fell by $20 million.
How much wildfire liability and recovery is recorded, and how secure is it?
The Utility has recorded aggregate liabilities of $1.275 billion, $1.925 billion, and $100 million for the Kincade, Dixie, and Mosquito fires before insurance. Recoveries include insurance, Wildfire Fund receivables, and regulatory recovery. The filing cautions that the CPUC has not yet interpreted the revised AB 1054 prudency standard, so it may not allow recovery of all recorded receivables, and that liabilities could exceed available recoveries.
What is the status of the Utility's cost recovery applications?
The 2022 WMCE application has a statutory deadline extended to September 30, 2025, and the 2023 WMCE application has a proposed decision that would extend its deadline to December 1, 2025. The WGSC application has a schedule that would produce a proposed decision on wildfire mitigation costs in the first half of 2025. Interim rate relief has been granted in each case but remains subject to refund.
What financing and liquidity steps did the company take?
In February 2025 the Utility sold $1.75 billion of first mortgage bonds in total, with proceeds to repay $1.05 billion of bonds maturing in June 2025. On April 11, 2025, it extended a $525 million term loan to April 10, 2026. PG&E Corporation completed the planned equity financing for its $63 billion capital expenditure plan for 2024 through 2028.
