Recorded GAAP earnings were $0.04 per share for the third quarter of 2020, compared to losses of $3.06 per share for the same period in 2019.
Non-GAAP core earnings were $0.22 per share for the third quarter of 2020, compared to $1.11 per share for the same period in 2019.
2020 EPS guidance adjusted for GAAP losses in the range of $1.00 to $1.06 and reaffirmed for non-GAAP core earnings of $1.60 to $1.63 per share.
2021 EPS guidance adjusted for GAAP earnings in the range of $0.14 to $0.26 and reaffirmed non-GAAP core earnings of $0.95 to $1.05 per share.
PG&E Corporation (NYSE: PCG) recorded third-quarter 2020 income available for common shareholders of $83 million, or $0.04 per share, as reported in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). This compares with losses attributable to common shareholders of $1.6 billion, or $3.06 per share, for the third quarter of 2019.
GAAP results include non-core items that management does not consider representative of ongoing earnings, which totaled $378 million after-tax, or $0.18 per share, for the quarter. These results were primarily driven by costs related to PG&E Corporation’s and Pacific Gas and Electric Company’s (Utility) reorganization cases under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code (Chapter 11). Other non-core items include the amortization of wildfire insurance fund contributions under Assembly Bill (AB) 1054, investigation remedies and delayed cost recovery, Kincade-fire related costs, and prior period net regulatory recoveries.
PG&E Corporation and Pacific Gas and Electric Company emerged from Chapter 11 on July 1, 2020 after successfully completing the restructuring process and achieving approval for its Plan of Reorganization confirmed by the United States Bankruptcy Court.
“We are focused on building a new PG&E that will deliver on our commitments to operate safely, reduce risk, and put our customers at the center of everything we do,” said Bill Smith, Interim Chief Executive Officer, PG&E Corporation. “Given the many challenges facing California, from wildfires to COVID-19, we know that being a trustworthy partner is more important than ever. We will do that by continuing our important wildfire mitigation work, leveraging innovative technologies to help California meet its clean energy goals, and achieving our performance targets in all areas of our business.”
Wildfire Mitigation Update
To further reduce the potential for wildfires associated with its electrical equipment in high fire-threat areas, PG&E is executing its 2020 Wildfire Mitigation Plan as submitted to the CPUC on February 7, 2020. The company is on track to meet its goals for each of the four categories of the 2020 Plan, which builds on the significant work completed in 2019. Wildfire Mitigation work during 2020 includes:
System hardening, where we have exceeded our 2020 target, with 257 circuit miles either relocated underground or replaced with stronger poles and covered conductor, making PG&E’s system more resilient.
Enhanced vegetation management work, which is at 90% of our 2020 target. PG&E has reviewed more than 1,624 miles of distribution and lower-voltage transmission lines and taken necessary action to trim or remove hazards and expand rights-of-way.
Situational awareness work, which is at 65% of our 2020 target, with 309 weather stations and 132 high definition cameras installed, despite some initial supply chain issues due to COVID-19 disruptions.
Enhanced inspections are at more than 96% of our 2020 target. PG&E continues to inspect all assets in Tier Three miles and a third of the Tier Two miles annually, which gives greater insight into the health of the company’s assets and information to act on for equipment requiring maintenance.
Improved PSPS implementation. For two of the three events for which an analysis is available, PG&E’s data shows that the number of customers affected was reduced by 56% when compared to the same set of conditions in 2019. For all three, service was restored for 94% of customers within 12 hours.
Asset Sale
In addition, PG&E filed an application with the CPUC for approval to sell its San Francisco office complex. This fulfills the first step of its commitment set out in the Plan of Reorganization to sell its San Francisco office complex and to distribute the gain on sale to customers.
