Forward Looking Statements This slide presentation contains statements regarding managements expectations and objectives for future periods as well as forecasts and estimates regarding the impact of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017, 2018 IIC guidance, 2017-2019 capital expenditures, 2017-2019 weighted average ratebase, equity needs and sources, and general earnings sensitivities. It also includes assumptions regarding capital expenditures, authorized rate base, authorized cost of capital, and certain other factors. These statements and other statements that are not purely historical constitute forward-looking statements that are necessarily subject to various risks and uncertainties. Actual results may differ materially from current expectations. PG&E Corporation and the Utility are not able to predict all the factors that may affect future results. Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially include, but are not limited to: ï,· the impact of the Northern California wildfires, including the costs of restoration of service to customers and repairs to the Utilitys facilities, and whether the Utility is able to recover such costs through CEMA; the timing and outcome of the wildfire investigations; whether the Utility may have liability associated with these fires; if liable for one or more fires, whether the Utility would be able to recover all or part of such costs through insurance or through regulatory mechanisms, to the extent insurance is not available or exhausted; and potential liabilities in connection with fines or penalties that could be imposed on the Utility if the CPUC or any other law enforcement agency brought an enforcement action and determined that the Utility failed to comply with applicable laws and regulations;ï,· the impact of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017, and the timing and outcome of the CPUC decision related to the Utilitys future filings in connection with the impact of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 on the Utilitys rate cases and its implementation plan;ï,· the Utilitys ability to efficiently manage capital expenditures and its operating and maintenance expenses within the authorized levels of spending and timely recover its costs through rates, and the extent to which the Utility incurs unrecoverable costs that are higher than the forecasts of such costs; ï,· the timing and outcomes of the TO18 and TO19 rate cases and other ratemaking and regulatory proceedings; ï,· the timing and outcomes of the ex parte OII and the safety culture OII;ï,· the timing and outcome of the Butte fire litigation; the timing and outcome of any proceeding to recover costs in excess of insurance from customers, if any; the effect, if any, that the SEDs $8.3 million citations issued in connection with the Butte fire may have on the Butte fire litigation; and whether additional investigations and proceedings in connection with the Butte fire will be opened and any additional fines or penalties imposed on the Utility;ï,· whether the CPUC approves the Utilitys application to establish a WEMA to track wildfire expenses and to preserve the opportunity for the Utility to request recovery of wildfire costs in excess of insurance at a future date, and the outcome of any potential request to recover such costs; ï,· whether the Utility can continue to obtain insurance and whether insurance coverage is adequate for future losses or claims;ï,· the outcome of the probation and the monitorship, the timing and outcomes of the debarment proceeding, the SEDs unresolved enforcement matters relating to the Utilitys compliance with natural gas-related laws and regulations, and other investigations that have been or may be commenced, and the ultimate amount of fines, penalties, and remedial and other costs that the Utility may incur as a result;ï,· the ability of PG&E Corporation and the Utility to access capital markets and other sources of debt and equity financing in a timely manner on acceptable terms;ï,· changes in credit ratings which could, among other things, result in higher borrowing costs and fewer financing options, especially if PG&E Corporation or the Utility were to lose their investment grade credit ratings; andï,· the other factors disclosed in PG&E Corporation and the Utilitys joint annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017 and other reports filed with the SEC, which are available on PG&E Corporations website at www.pgecorp.com and on the SEC website at www.sec.gov.

Exhibit B: Key Drivers of PG&E Corporations Earnings per Common Share (EPS) from Operations 17 Fourth Quarter and Year to Date, 2017 vs. 2016 (in millions, except per share amounts) (1) See Exhibit A for a reconciliation of EPS on a GAAP basis to EPS from Operations. All amounts presented in the table above are tax adjusted at PG&E Corporations statutory tax rate of 40.75 percent, except for tax benefits on stock compensation. See Footnote 3 below. (2) Represents the impact in 2016 of the delay in the Utilitys 2015 GT&S rate case. The CPUC issued its final phase two decision on December 1, 2016, delaying recognition of the full 2016 revenue increase until the fourth quarter of 2016. (3) Represents the timing of taxes reportable in quarterly statements in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification 740 and results from variances in the percentage of quarterly earnings to annual earnings. (4) Represents the impact of lower tax repair benefits as a result of the CPUCs final decision in the 2017 GRC proceeding. (5) Represents timing of operational expense spending during the three months ended December 31, 2017 as compared to the same period in 2016. (6) Represents the Customer Energy Efficiency (CEE) incentive award received during the fourth quarter of 2016, with no similar amount in 2017. The 2017 award of $21.9 million was fully offset by the reduction approved by the CPUC related to the rehearing of the 2006 2008 CEE incentive awards. (7) Represents the excess tax benefit related to share-based compensation awards that vested during the twelve months ended December 31, 2017. Pursuant to ASU 2016-09, Compensation Stock Compensation (Topic 718), which PG&E Corporation and the Utility adopted in 2016, excess tax benefits associated with vested awards are reflected in net income. (8) Represents the impact of the increase in rate base authorized in various rate cases, including the 2017 General Rate Case (2017 GRC), during the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2017 as compared to the same periods in 2016.

The operational performance goals set under the PG&E Corporation 2017 Short Term Incentive Plan (STIP) are based on the same operational metrics and targets. (1) The 2017 target for earnings from operations is not publicly reported but is consistent with the guidance range provided for 2017 EPS from operations of $3.55 to $3.75. 18
Definitions of 2017 Operational Performance Metrics from Exhibit C Safety Public and employee safety are measured in four areas: (1) Nuclear Operations Safety, (2) Electric Operations Safety, (3) Gas Operations Safety, and (4) Employee Safety. 1. The safety of the Utilitys nuclear power operations, Unit 1 and Unit 2, is an index comprised of 11 performance indicators for nuclear power generation that are regularly benchmarked against other nuclear power generators. 2. The safety of the Utilitys electric operations is represented by (a) work that supports the safe reliable operations of the overhead electric system, and (b) the percentage of time that Utility personnel are on site within 60 minutes after receiving a 911 call of a potential Utility electric hazard. 3. The safety of the Utilitys natural gas operations is represented by (a) the ability to complete planned in-line inspections and pipeline retrofit projects, measured by two equally weighted components of In-Line Inspections and In-Line Upgrades; (b) the number of third party dig-ins (i.e., damage resulting in repair or replacement of underground facility) to Utility gas assets per 1,000 Underground Service Alert tickets; and (c) the timeliness (measured in minutes) of on-site response to gas emergency service calls. 4. The safety of the Utilitys employees is represented by (a) measuring the timely and quality completion of planned actions in response to Serious Injuries and Fatalities (SIF), (b) the number of serious preventable motor vehicle incidents that the driver could have reasonably avoided, per one million miles driven, and (c) the percentage of work-related injuries reported to the 24/7 Nurse Report Line within one day of the incident. Customer Customer satisfaction and service reliability are measured by: 1. The overall satisfaction (measured as a score of zero to 100) of customers with the products and services offered by the Utility, as measured through a quarterly survey performed by an independent third-party research firm. 2. The total time (measured in minutes) the average customer is without electric power during a given time period. Financial Earnings from Operations (shown in millions of dollars) measures PG&E Corporations earnings power from ongoing core operations. This allows investors to compare the underlying financial performance of the business from one period to another, exclusive of items that management believes do not reflect the normal course of operations (items impacting comparability). Earnings from Operations are not calculated in accordance with GAAP. For a reconciliation of Consolidated Income Available for Common Shareholders as reported in accordance with GAAP to Earnings from Operations, see Exhibit A. 19

Exhibit G: Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures PG&E Corporation and Pacific Gas and Electric Company: Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures PG&E Corporation discloses historical financial results and provides guidance based on earnings from operations in order to provide a measure that allows investors to compare the underlying financial performance of the business from one period to another, exclusive of items impacting comparability. Earnings from operations is a non-GAAP financial measure and is calculated as income available for common shareholders less items impacting comparability. Items impacting comparability represent items that management does not consider part of the normal course of operations and affect comparability of financial results between periods, including certain pipeline related expenses, certain legal and regulatory related expenses, fines and penalties, Butte fire-related costs and insurance recoveries, net benefits from the derivative litigation settlement, impacts of the 2015 GT&S rate case, the Diablo Canyon settlement-related disallowance, costs and insurance recoveries related to the Northern California wildfires, and the transition impact of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act. PG&E Corporation uses earnings from operations to understand and compare operating results across reporting periods for various purposes including internal budgeting and forecasting, short- and long-term operating planning, and employee incentive compensation. PG&E Corporation believes that earnings from operations provide additional insight into the underlying trends of the business allowing for a better comparison against historical results and expectations for future performance. Earnings from operations are not a substitute or alternative for GAAP measures such as consolidated income available for common shareholders and may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies. 23
