Common questions about this slide and the underlying presentation content.
It is PG&E Corporation's 40-slide deck for its 2026 third quarter earnings call, titled "Turning Point For PG&E And California" and dated October 22, 2026. It was filed with the SEC as Exhibit 99.2 to Form 8-K and covers results, guidance, wildfire protections, load growth, the capital plan, regulatory progress and non-GAAP reconciliations.
Non-GAAP core EPS was $0.41 for the quarter ($928 million) versus $0.50 in Q3 2025, and $1.24 for the first nine months versus $1.14. GAAP diluted EPS was $0.34 for the quarter and $1.06 year to date. PG&E reaffirmed 2026 core EPS guidance of $1.64-$1.66 and 2027 guidance of $1.78-$1.82.
On September 2, 2026 PG&E withdrew capital expenditure, rate base and earnings growth guidance beyond 2027 when it announced its Strategic Review. The deck keeps 2026-2027 figures (rate base of $75B and $81B, CapEx of $12.4B and $11.4B) and shows the earlier 2028-2030 numbers in gray as withdrawn guidance.
Yes. Besides the original PDF, there is a PPTX converted from the PDF. Because the SEC filing stores each slide as an image, the converted slides are mostly image-based. They are useful for reviewing and annotating, but text and charts may need to be rebuilt to be fully editable. It is not an original PG&E template file.
It was furnished to the SEC on October 22, 2026 as an exhibit to PG&E Corporation's and Pacific Gas and Electric Company's joint Current Report on Form 8-K, and it is also posted on pgecorp.com. The slides are rasterized images from that filing.
Every content slide uses a bright blue title bar, a small three-tier pyramid icon and a slanted blue footer banner that states the slide's conclusion, so the headlines read as one storyline. Other reusable devices include yellow starburst callouts for growth rates, a waterfall EPS bridge, stacked rate base bars with withdrawn years shown in gray and a regulatory docket table that marks changes in blue text.
It explains the AB 1054 Wildfire Fund (over $21B) and the new SB 254 Continuation Account ($18B), with PG&E's share lowered to 47.85% from 64.20%. Other topics are the $1B customer-funded self-insurance layer, the presumption of prudency with an annual safety certificate, the 20% of T&D equity rate base maximum disallowance and a step-by-step flowchart of fund claims and reimbursement.
The pipeline was 12,870 MW in September 2026, up from 12,710 MW in June. It includes 8,350 MW in application and preliminary engineering, 3,880 MW in final engineering, 400 MW under interconnection construction agreements and 240 MW in construction, with 174 MW online since 2024. PG&E estimates each 1 GW can reduce electric bills by 1% or more.
