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.

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.
