AB 1054 did not specify a period of coverage; therefore, this accounting treatment is subject to significant accounting judgments and estimates. In estimating the period longevity of coverage, the fund, PG&E Corporation and the Utility use a dataset with historical, publicly available fire-loss data caused by electrical equipment to create Monte Carlo simulations of expected loss. The simulation that began with 12 years of historical, publicly available fire-loss data from wildfires caused by electrical equipment, data, and subsequently plan to PG&E Corporation and the Utility add an additional year of data each following subsequent year. The period In addition to historical data, significant assumptions also include the estimated amount of historic Wildfire Fund claim payments, the number of years of fire-loss data data, estimated costs of wildfire settlement claims from other participating utilities, CPUC’s determinations of whether costs were just and reasonable in cases of electric utility-caused wildfires and the effectiveness amounts required to be reimbursed to the Wildfire Fund, and the effects of mitigation efforts by climate change. Due to the California electric utility companies are significant assumptions used judgment required to estimate the useful life. These assumptions along with life of the other assumptions below create Wildfire Fund, there is a high degree of uncertainty related for many of these assumptions, and so subsequent changes to the available information could materially impact the remaining estimated useful life of the Wildfire Fund. The simulation creates annual distributions fund. Based upon the outcome of potential losses due newly run Monte Carlo simulations when known information becomes available, PG&E Corporation and the Utility may determine to fires that could be attributed to increase or decrease, as applicable, the participating electric utilities. Initial use estimated life of five years of historical data, with average annual statewide claims or settlements of approximately $6.5 billion versus 12 years of historical data, with average annual statewide claims or settlements of approximately $2.9 billion, would have the fund. For instance, in 2024, a re-evaluation in the estimate resulted in a six year amortization period. As of December 31, 2024, a 5% change the Wildfire Fund life increasing from 15 to the assumption around current and future mitigation effort effectiveness would increase the amortization period by five years assuming greater effectiveness and would decrease the amortization period by five years assuming less effectiveness. 20 years.

The Utility’s electricity and natural gas systems rely on a complex, interconnected network of generation, transmission, distribution, control, and communication technologies, which can be damaged by natural events such as severe weather or seismic events and by malicious events, such as physical and cyber attacks. Nationally, there has been an increase in physical attacks on substations. Physical attacks targeting the Utility’s physical assets or personnel could cause damage, disrupt operations, or cause injuries. Cyber attacks targeting utility systems are significant and are continuing to increase in sophistication, magnitude, and frequency. Any failure, interruption, or decrease in the functionality of the Utility’s operational networks could cause harm to the public or employees, significantly disrupt operations, negatively impact the Utility’s ability to safely generate, transport, deliver and store energy and gas or otherwise operate in a safe and efficient manner or at all, and damage the Utility’s assets or operations or those of third parties. parties, increase costs, and impact the Utility’s ability to track or collect revenues and to maintain effective internal controls over financial reporting. Such events could subject the Utility to significant expenses, claims by customers or third parties, government inquiries, penalties for violation of applicable privacy laws, investigations, lawsuits, and regulatory actions and could result in material fines, penalties, loss of customers, and harm to PG&E Corporation’s and the Utility’s reputation, any of which could have a material effect on PG&E Corporation’s and the Utility’s business strategy, financial condition, or results of operations.

AddedRisk Factors
The Utility relies on technology to operate its business, including complex operational, interconnected networks and information technology systems that support critical functions. The Utility also depends on information technology systems to help it monitor and operate the electric grid, detect ignitions and collect other wildfire-related information, process transactions, track and collect revenues, manage customer billing and energy usage data, maintain internal control over financial reporting, and produce accurate and timely financial statements and regulatory filings. These information technology systems allow the Utility to create, collect, use, disclose, store, and otherwise process sensitive information, including regarding customers, employees, and other individuals. These systems can be damaged or disrupted by malicious events such as cyber or physical attacks, or by technology failure.
