PG&E Corporation has reported its financial results for the second quarter of 2025, indicating that it remains on track to meet its full-year targets. The company continues to focus on operational safety and providing reliable energy services.

“PG&E’s story of progress continues to unfold with another solid quarter of performance. We’re delivering energy safely to our customers every day. We’ve stabilized bills over the past year and expect them to be down in 2026,” said PG&E Corporation CEO Patti Poppe.

For the full year 2025, PG&E updated its GAAP earnings guidance to a range of $1.26 to $1.32 per share, slightly lower than the previous range of $1.29 to $1.35 per share announced last quarter. The company reaffirmed its non-GAAP core earnings guidance at $1.48 to $1.52 per share.

The company attributed changes in earnings expectations to factors such as customer capital investment, unrecoverable interest expenses estimated between $350 million and $400 million after tax, as well as other elements including allowance for funds used during construction, incentive revenues, tax benefits, cost savings, amortization related to wildfire liabilities, impacts from state legislation SB 901, costs tied to reorganization under Chapter 11 bankruptcy proceedings, wildfire-related expenses and investigation remedies.

For the second quarter of 2025, PG&E recorded income available for common shareholders of $521 million ($0.24 per share) under generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), which is nearly unchanged from the same period in 2024 when it reported $520 million ($0.24 per share). Non-GAAP core earnings were also flat compared with last year at $674 million ($0.31 per share).

The company noted that an increase in customer capital investment was offset by a lower return on equity following a recent cost of capital decision that reduced the rate from 10.7% to 10.28%. There was also a dilutive effect from PG&E’s equity offering in 2024 and increased wildfire-related claims net of recoveries.

Non-core items totaled $154 million after tax ($0.07 per share) for both the second quarters of 2025 and 2024.
