PG&E Q4 2019 Earnings Report

PG&E Corporation reported a net loss and non-GAAP core earnings for Q4 2019, with significant charges related to wildfire claims and costs, alongside progress in Chapter 11 reorganization.

Key Takeaways

PG&E Corporation reported a GAAP net loss of $3.6 billion, or $6.84 per share, for the fourth quarter of 2019. Non-GAAP core earnings were $360 million, or $0.68 per share, excluding non-core items primarily driven by charges for estimated third-party wildfire claims. The company is progressing with its Chapter 11 reorganization, aiming for confirmation by June 30, 2020.

PG&E recorded GAAP losses of $6.84 per share for Q4 2019, compared to losses of $13.24 per share for the same period in 2018.

Non-GAAP core earnings for Q4 2019 were $0.68 per share, down from $0.80 per share in Q4 2018, mainly due to the absence of 2018 short-term incentive compensation, 2019 interest on pre-petition payables and short-term debt, and 2019 vegetation management costs.

The company is filing a five-year financial forecast in anticipation of its emergence from Chapter 11 reorganization.

PG&E remains on track to have its Chapter 11 Plan confirmed by June 30, 2020.
