Consolidated Financial Section
PART I
Item 1.Financial Statements
REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of
Berkshire Hathaway Energy Company
Results of Review of Interim Financial Information
We have reviewed the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Berkshire Hathaway Energy Company and subsidiaries (the "Company") as of March 31, 2025, the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive income, changes in equity, and cash flows for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the "interim financial information"). Based on our reviews, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to the accompanying interim financial information for it to be in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
We have previously audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the consolidated balance sheet of the Company as of December 31, 2024, and the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive income, changes in equity, and cash flows for the year then ended (not presented herein); and in our report dated February 21, 2025, we expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements. In our opinion, the information set forth in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2024, is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the consolidated balance sheet from which it has been derived.
Basis for Review Results
This interim financial information is the responsibility of the Company's management. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our reviews in accordance with standards of the PCAOB. A review of interim financial information consists principally of applying analytical procedures and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB, the objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.

The unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP") for interim financial information and the United States Securities and Exchange Commission's rules and regulations for Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the disclosures required by GAAP for annual financial statements. Management believes the unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements contain all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for the fair presentation of the unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements as of March 31, 2025, and for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2025 and 2024. The results of operations for the three-month period ended March 31, 2025, are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.
The preparation of the unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the period. Actual results may differ from the estimates used in preparing the unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements. Note 2 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024, describes the most significant accounting policies used in the preparation of the unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements. There have been no significant changes in the Company's accounting policies or its assumptions regarding significant accounting estimates during the three-month period ended March 31, 2025. Refer to Note 9 for discussion of loss contingencies related to the Oregon and Northern California 2020 wildfires (the "2020 Wildfires") and the wildfire that began in the Oak Knoll Ranger District of the Klamath National Forest in Siskiyou County, California in July 2022 (the "2022 McKinney Fire"), collectively referred to as the "Wildfires."
(2) New Accounting Pronouncements
In December 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2023-09, Income Taxes Topic 740, "Income Tax—Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures" which requires enhanced disclosures, including specific categories and disaggregation of information in the effective tax rate reconciliation, disaggregated information related to income taxes paid, income or loss from continuing operations before income tax expense or benefit, and income tax expense or benefit from continuing operations. This guidance is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted and should be applied on a prospective basis, however retrospective application is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this guidance on its Consolidated Financial Statements and disclosures included within Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU No. 2024-03, Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures Subtopic 220-40, "Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses" which addresses requests from investors for more detailed information about certain expenses and requires disclosure of the amounts of purchases of inventory, employee compensation, depreciation and intangible asset amortization included in each relevant expense caption presented on the income statement. This guidance is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026 and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption is permitted and should be applied on a prospective basis, however retrospective application is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this guidance on its Consolidated Financial Statements and disclosures included within Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.
In March 2024, the United States Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") adopted final rules requiring disclosure of certain climate-related information in registrations statements and Form 10-Ks. The final rules require certain disclosures related to, among other things, severe weather events and other natural conditions and climate-related risks that materially impacted or are reasonably likely to materially impact the business strategy, results of operations or financial condition of the registrant The final rules include phased-in compliance periods for all registrants, with the compliance date dependent on the registrant's filer status and the content of the disclosure. In April 2024, the SEC voluntarily stayed implementation of the final rules, pending the completion of judicial review of consolidated challenges by the Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit. In March 2025, the SEC voted to end its defense of the final rules.

(5) Recent Financing Transactions
Long-Term Debt
In April 2025, Northern Powergrid (Yorkshire) plc issued £250 million of its 6.125% Bonds due April 2050 and intends to use the net proceeds for general corporate purposes.
In March 2025, PacifiCorp issued $850 million of its 7.375% Fixed-to-Fixed Reset Rate Junior Subordinated Notes due September 2055. PacifiCorp will pay interest on the notes at a rate of 7.375% through September 2030, subject to a reset every five years, not to reset below 7.375%. PacifiCorp initially used a portion of the net proceeds to repay outstanding short-term debt and intends to use the remaining net proceeds to fund capital expenditures and for general corporate purposes.
In February 2025, Nevada Power issued $300 million of its 6.25% Fixed-to-Fixed Reset Rate Junior Subordinated Notes due May 2055. Nevada Power will pay interest on the notes at a rate of 6.25% through May 2030, subject to a reset every five years. Nevada Power intends to use the net proceeds from the sale of the notes to fund capital expenditures and for general corporate purposes.
In January 2025, Eastern Energy Gas issued $700 million of 5.80% Senior Notes due January 2035 and $500 million of 6.20% Senior Notes due January 2055.

Credit Facilities
In February 2025, BHE Canada amended its existing C$50 million unsecured revolving credit facility expiring December 2027. The amendment extended the expiration date to December 2028 and amended certain provisions of the existing credit agreement.
(6) Income Taxes

Income tax credits relate primarily to production tax credits ("PTCs") from wind- and solar-powered generating facilities owned by MidAmerican Energy, PacifiCorp, NV Energy and BHE Renewables. Federal renewable electricity PTCs are earned as energy from qualifying wind- and solar-powered generating facilities is produced and sold and are based on a per-kilowatt hour rate pursuant to the applicable federal income tax law. Wind- and solar-powered generating facilities are eligible for the credits for 10 years from the date the qualifying generating facilities are placed in-service. PTCs recognized for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2025 and 2024 totaled $563 million and $383 million, respectively.
The Company's provision for income taxes has been computed on a stand-alone basis. Berkshire Hathaway includes the Company in its consolidated U.S. federal and Iowa state income tax returns and the majority of the Company's U.S. federal income tax is remitted to or received from Berkshire Hathaway. The Company had no net cash payments for federal income taxes from Berkshire Hathaway for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2025 and 2024.

(8) Fair Value Measurements
The carrying value of the Company's cash, certain cash equivalents, receivables, payables, accrued liabilities and short-term borrowings approximates fair value because of the short-term maturity of these instruments. The Company has various financial assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on the Consolidated Financial Statements using inputs from the three levels of the fair value hierarchy. A financial asset or liability classification within the hierarchy is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The three levels are as follows:
•Level 1 — Inputs are unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access at the measurement date.
•Level 2 — Inputs include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability and inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means (market corroborated inputs).
•Level 3 — Unobservable inputs reflect the Company's judgments about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability since limited market data exists. The Company develops these inputs based on the best information available, including its own data.
The following table presents the Company's financial assets and liabilities recognized on the Consolidated Balance Sheets and measured at fair value on a recurring basis (in millions):
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |

Derivative contracts are recorded on the Consolidated Balance Sheets as either assets or liabilities and are stated at estimated fair value unless they are designated as normal purchases or normal sales and qualify for the exception afforded by GAAP. When available, the fair value of derivative contracts is estimated using unadjusted quoted prices for identical contracts in the market in which the Company transacts. When quoted prices for identical contracts are not available, the Company uses forward price curves. Forward price curves represent the Company's estimates of the prices at which a buyer or seller could contract today for delivery or settlement at future dates. The Company bases its forward price curves upon market price quotations, when available, or internally developed and commercial models, with internal and external fundamental data inputs. Market price quotations are obtained from independent brokers, exchanges, direct communication with market participants and actual transactions executed by the Company. Market price quotations are generally readily obtainable for the applicable term of the Company's outstanding derivative contracts; therefore, the Company's forward price curves reflect observable market quotes. Market price quotations for certain electricity and natural gas trading hubs are not as readily obtainable due to the length of the contract. Given that limited market data exists for these contracts, as well as for those contracts that are not actively traded, the Company uses forward price curves derived from internal models based on perceived pricing relationships to major trading hubs that are based on unobservable inputs. The estimated fair value of these derivative contracts is a function of the underlying forward commodity prices, interest rates, currency rates, related volatility, counterparty creditworthiness and duration of contracts.
The Company's mortgage loans held for sale are valued based on independent quoted market prices, where available, or the prices of other mortgage whole loans with similar characteristics. As necessary, these prices are adjusted for typical securitization activities, including servicing value, portfolio composition, market conditions and liquidity.
The Company's investments in money market mutual funds and debt and equity securities are stated at fair value. When available, a readily observable quoted market price or net asset value of an identical security in an active market is used to record the fair value. In the absence of a quoted market price or net asset value of an identical security, the fair value is determined using pricing models or net asset values based on observable market inputs and quoted market prices of securities with similar characteristics.
The following table reconciles the beginning and ending balances of the Company's financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis using significant Level 3 inputs (in millions). Transfers out of Level 3 occur primarily due to increased price observability.

The Company's long-term debt is carried at cost on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The fair value of the Company's long-term debt is a Level 2 fair value measurement and has been estimated based upon quoted market prices, where available, or at the present value of future cash flows discounted at rates consistent with comparable maturities with similar credit risks. The carrying value of the Company's variable-rate long-term debt approximates fair value because of the frequent repricing of these instruments at market rates. The following table presents the carrying value and estimated fair value of the Company's long-term debt (in millions):

(9) Commitments and Contingencies
Commitments
The Company has the following firm commitments that are not reflected on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.
Fuel Contracts
During the three-month period ended March 31, 2025, PacifiCorp received the full notice to proceed from a counterparty for four battery storage agreements with minimum obligations totaling approximately $1.0 billion through 2046. The facilities associated with these contracts have not yet achieved commercial operation. To the extent these facilities do not achieve commercial operation, PacifiCorp would no longer have an obligation to the counterparty.
During the three-month period ended March 31, 2025, MidAmerican Energy entered into firm construction commitments totaling $162 million for the remainder of 2025 related to the construction of wind-powered generating facilities in Iowa.
Environmental Laws and Regulations
The Company is subject to federal, state, local and foreign laws and regulations regarding air quality, climate change, emissions performance standards, water quality, coal ash disposal, hazardous and other environmental matters that have the potential to impact the Company's current and future operations. The Company believes it is in material compliance with all applicable laws and regulations.
Legal Matters
The Company is party to a variety of legal actions, including litigation, arising out of the normal course of business, some of which assert claims for damages in substantial amounts and are described below. For certain legal actions, parties at times may seek to impose fines, penalties and other costs.
Pursuant to ASC 450, "Contingencies," a provision for a loss contingency is recorded when it is probable a liability is likely to occur and the amount of loss can be reasonably estimated. The Company evaluates the related range of reasonably estimated losses and records a loss based on its best estimate within that range or the lower end of the range if there is no better estimate.
Wildfires
A significant number of complaints and demands alleging similar claims related to the Wildfires have been filed in Oregon and California, including a class action complaint in Oregon associated with 2020 Wildfires for which certain jury verdicts were issued as described below. The plaintiffs seek damages for economic losses, noneconomic losses, including mental suffering, emotional distress, personal injury and loss of life, punitive damages, other damages and attorneys' fees. Several insurance carriers have filed subrogation complaints in Oregon and California with allegations similar to those made in the aforementioned complaints. Additionally, PacifiCorp received correspondence from the U.S. and Oregon Departments of Justice regarding the potential recovery of certain costs and damages alleged to have occurred on federal and state lands in connection with certain of the 2020 Wildfires. In December 2024, the United States of America filed a complaint against PacifiCorp in conjunction with the correspondence from the U.S. Department of Justice. The civil cover sheet accompanying the complaint demands damages estimated to exceed $900 million. PacifiCorp is actively cooperating with the U.S. and Oregon Departments of Justice on resolving these alleged claims.
Amounts sought in outstanding complaints and demands filed in Oregon and in certain demands made in California totaled approximately $51 billion, excluding any doubling or trebling of damages or punitive damages included in the complaints. Generally, the complaints filed in California do not specify damages sought and are excluded from this amount. Of the $51 billion, $48 billion represents the economic and noneconomic damages sought in the James mass complaints described below. For class actions, amounts specified by the plaintiffs in the complaints include amounts based on estimates of the potential class size, which ultimately may be significantly greater than estimated. Additionally, damages are not limited to the amounts specified in the initially filed complaints as plaintiffs are frequently allowed to amend their complaints to add additional damages and amounts awarded in a court proceeding may be significantly greater than the damages specified. Oregon law provides for doubling of economic and property damages in the event the defendant is found to have acted with gross negligence, recklessness, willfulness or malice. Oregon law provides for trebling of damages associated with timber, shrubs and produce in the event the defendant is determined to have willfully and intentionally trespassed.
In California, under inverse condemnation, courts have held that investor-owned utilities can be liable for real and personal property damages from wildfires without the utility being found negligent and regardless of fault. California law also permits inverse condemnation plaintiffs to recover reasonable attorney fees and costs. In both Oregon and California, PacifiCorp has equipment in areas accessed through special use permits, easements or similar agreements that may contain provisions requiring it to pay for damages caused by its equipment regardless of fault. Even if inverse condemnation or other provisions do not apply, PacifiCorp could be found liable for all damage.
Based on available information to date, PacifiCorp believes it is probable that losses will be incurred associated with the Wildfires. Final determinations of liability will only be made following the completion of comprehensive investigations, litigation or similar processes, the outcome of which, if adverse, could, in the aggregate, have a material adverse effect on PacifiCorp's financial condition.
Investigations into the cause and origin of each wildfire are complex and ongoing and have been or are being conducted by various entities, including the U.S. Department of Agriculture Forest Service ("USFS"), the California Public Utilities Commission, the Oregon Department of Forestry ("ODF"), the Oregon Department of Justice, PacifiCorp and various experts engaged by PacifiCorp.
2020 Wildfires
In September 2020, a severe weather event with high winds, low humidity and warm temperatures contributed to several major wildfires, which resulted in real and personal property and natural resource damage, personal injuries and loss of life and widespread power outages in Oregon and Northern California. The wildfires spread across certain parts of PacifiCorp's service territory and surrounding areas across multiple counties in Oregon and California, including Siskiyou County, California; Jackson County, Oregon; Douglas County, Oregon; Marion County, Oregon; Lincoln County, Oregon; and Klamath County, Oregon, burning over 500,000 acres in aggregate and include the Santiam Canyon, Beachie Creek, South Obenchain, Echo Mountain Complex, 242, Archie Creek, Slater and other fires. The Slater fire occurred in both Oregon and California. Third-party reports for these wildfires indicate over 2,000 structures destroyed, including residences; several structures damaged; multiple individuals injured; and several fatalities.
In May 2022, the USFS issued its report of investigation into the Archie Creek fire concluding that the probable cause of the fire was power lines owned and operated by PacifiCorp. The report also states that evidence indicates failure of power line infrastructure. The USFS report of investigation into the Slater fire for the investigation period October 5, 2020 to December 8, 2020, concluded that the fire was caused by a downed power line owned and operated by PacifiCorp. The report states that evidence indicates a tree fell onto the power line and that wind blew over the 137-foot tree with internal rot that showed no outward signs of distress and would not have been classified or identified as a hazard tree.
Settlements have been reached with substantially all individual plaintiffs, timber companies and insurance subrogation plaintiffs in both the Archie Creek and Slater fires with government timber and suppression cost claims remaining.
In April 2023, the USFS issued its report of investigation into a wildland fire that began in the Opal Creek wilderness outside of the Santiam Canyon that was first reported on August 16, 2020 ("Beachie Creek Fire"), approximately three weeks prior to the September 2020 wind event described above. In March 2025, PacifiCorp received the ODF's final investigation report on the Santiam Canyon fires ("ODF's Report"), which concluded that embers from the pre-existing Beachie Creek Fire caused 12 fires within the Santiam Canyon. The ODF's Report also found that PacifiCorp's power lines did not contribute to the overall spread of fire into the Santiam Canyon even though its power lines ignited seven spot fires within the Santiam Canyon that were each suppressed.
The Beachie Creek fire that spread into the Santiam Canyon burned approximately 193,000 acres; the South Obenchain fire burned approximately 33,000 acres; the Echo Mountain Complex fire burned approximately 3,000 acres; and the 242 fire burned approximately 14,000 acres. The James cases described below are associated with the Beachie Creek (Santiam Canyon), South Obenchain, Echo Mountain Complex and 242 fires, which are four distinct fires located hundreds of miles apart.
The James Case
On September 30, 2020, a class action complaint against PacifiCorp was filed, captioned Jeanyne James et al. v. PacifiCorp, ("James") in Oregon Circuit Court in Multnomah County, Oregon ("Multnomah County Circuit Court Oregon"). The complaint was filed by Oregon residents and businesses who seek to represent a class of all Oregon citizens and entities whose real or personal property was harmed beginning on September 7, 2020, by wildfires in Oregon allegedly caused by PacifiCorp. In November 2021, the plaintiffs filed an amended complaint to limit the class to include Oregon citizens allegedly impacted by the Santiam Canyon, Echo Mountain Complex, South Obenchain and 242 wildfires, as well as to add claims for noneconomic damages. The amended complaint alleged that PacifiCorp's assets contributed to the Oregon wildfires occurring on or after September 7, 2020, and that PacifiCorp acted with gross negligence, among other things. The amended complaint seeks damages similar to those described above, including not less than $600 million of economic damages and in excess of $1 billion of noneconomic damages for the plaintiffs and the class. Numerous cases were consolidated into the original James complaint.
In April, May, July and September 2024, and January 2025, six separate mass complaints against PacifiCorp naming 1,591 individual class members were filed in Multnomah County Circuit Court Oregon referencing James as the lead case. Complaints for five of the plaintiffs in the mass complaints were subsequently dismissed. These James mass complaints make damages-only allegations seeking economic, noneconomic and punitive damages, as well as doubling of economic damages. In December 2024, two additional complaints were filed in Multnomah County Circuit Court Oregon on behalf of eight plaintiffs also referencing James as the lead case, bringing the total class plaintiffs in the James case to 1,594. PacifiCorp believes the magnitude of damages sought by the class members in the James mass complaints and additional two complaints to be of remote likelihood of being awarded based on the amounts awarded in the jury verdicts described below that are being appealed.
In January, April and June 2024, the Multnomah County Circuit Court Oregon entered limited judgments and money awards for the James jury verdicts issued in June 2023 for the first trial in which the jury found PacifiCorp's conduct grossly negligent, reckless and willful as to each of the 17 named plaintiffs and the entire class, and the first two damages phase trials for which the verdicts were issued in January and March 2024. The limited judgments award aggregate damages of $210 million, including $32 million of doubled economic damages, $147 million of noneconomic damages and $41 million of punitive damages based on a 0.25 multiplier applied to economic and noneconomic damages, partially offset by insurance proceeds received by plaintiffs. For each limited judgment entered in the court, PacifiCorp posted a supersedeas bond, which stays any effort to seek payment of the judgments pending final resolution of any appeals. Under Oregon Revised Statutes 82.010, interest at a rate of 9% per annum will accrue on the judgments commencing at the date the judgments were entered until the entire money award is paid, amended or reversed by an appellate court. In January 2024, PacifiCorp filed a notice of appeal associated with the June 2023 verdict in James, including whether the case can proceed as a class action and filed a motion to stay further damages phase trials. PacifiCorp amended its appeal of the June 2023 James verdict to include both the January and March 2024 jury verdicts. The appeals process and further actions could take several years.
In February 2025, the jury for the third James damages phase trial awarded seven plaintiffs $32 million of noneconomic damages in addition to $4 million of economic damages stipulated for eight plaintiffs prior to the trial. In accordance with Oregon law, plaintiffs asked the court to double the economic damages to $8 million after the verdict. PacifiCorp expects the court will award the doubling of economic damages and also increase the award for $9 million in punitive damages by applying the 0.25 multiplier of economic and noneconomic damages consistent with the June 2023 James verdict. PacifiCorp filed a motion with the Multnomah County Circuit Court Oregon requesting the court offset the damage awards by deducting insurance proceeds received by any of the eight plaintiffs. In April 2025, the Multnomah County Circuit Court entered a limited judgment that awards approximately $45 million, representing damages as discussed above, partially offset by insurance proceeds received by plaintiffs. PacifiCorp intends to appeal the jury's damage awards associated with the February 2025 jury verdict.
In March 2025, the jury for the fourth James damages phase trial awarded seven plaintiffs over $2 million of economic damages and five plaintiffs $34 million of noneconomic damages. PacifiCorp expects the court to award doubling of the economic damages to $5 million and also to increase the award for $9 million in punitive damages by applying the 0.25 multiplier of economic and noneconomic damages consistent with the June 2023 James verdict. As a result, PacifiCorp expects the total award for the seven plaintiffs to be approximately $48 million. PacifiCorp filed a motion with the Multnomah County Circuit Court Oregon requesting the court offset the damage awards by deducting insurance proceeds received by any of the plaintiffs. PacifiCorp intends to appeal the jury's damage awards associated with the March 2025 jury verdict once judgment is entered.
In April 2025, the jury for the fifth James damages phase trial awarded nine plaintiffs $11 million of noneconomic damages, in addition to over $2 million of economic damages that were stipulated prior to the trial. PacifiCorp expects the court to award doubling of the economic damages to $5 million and also to increase the award for $3 million in punitive damages by applying the 0.25 multiplier of economic and noneconomic damages consistent with the June 2023 James verdict. As a result, PacifiCorp expects the total award for the nine plaintiffs to be approximately $19 million. PacifiCorp filed a motion with the Multnomah County Circuit Court Oregon requesting the court offset the damage awards by deducting insurance proceeds received by any of the plaintiffs. PacifiCorp intends to appeal the jury's damage awards associated with the April 2025 jury verdict once judgment is entered.
In October 2024, the Multnomah County Circuit Court Oregon issued a case management order, setting forth nine additional damages phase trials with up to 10 plaintiffs per trial to be held in 2025. The first of these trials were held in February, March and April 2025, while the remaining are scheduled to begin May 12, June 2, July 7, September 9, October 6 and December 7, 2025. The jury verdicts for the first three of the damages phase trials were issued in February, March and April 2025, as described above. A hearing is scheduled for May 9, 2025, to evaluate scheduling additional damages phase trials in 2026. On March 20, 2025, PacifiCorp filed a motion to stay the remaining James damages phase trials in consideration of the ODF's Report. The motion was heard by the court and was denied on April 18, 2025.
On April 1, 2025, PacifiCorp filed its opening brief with the Oregon Court of Appeals in connection with its appeal of the June 2023 James verdict and the January and March 2024 verdicts for the first two James damages phase trials. In the opening brief, PacifiCorp addresses numerous procedural and legal issues, including that the class certification is improper due to the plaintiffs being impacted by distinct fires with independent ignition points that were hundreds of miles apart; awarding of non-economic damages is not allowed under Oregon law; plaintiffs failed to prove that PacifiCorp caused harm to every class member; and jury instructions applied incorrect legal standards in assessing class-wide evidence and individual claims. Additionally, PacifiCorp incorporated the ODF's Report into its opening appellate brief. Various parties who are not party to the James case have filed supportive amicus briefs with the court. Plaintiffs' reply brief and cross-appeal is due May 20, 2025.
2022 McKinney Fire
According to the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection, a wildfire began on July 29, 2022, in the Oak Knoll Ranger District of the Klamath National Forest in Siskiyou County, California located in PacifiCorp's service territory, burning over 60,000 acres. Third-party reports indicate that the 2022 McKinney Fire resulted in 11 structures damaged; 185 structures destroyed, including residences; 12 injuries; and four fatalities. The USFS issued a Wildland Fire Origin and Cause Supplemental Incident Report. The report concluded that a tree coming in contact with a power line is the probable cause of the 2022 McKinney Fire.
Estimated Losses for and Settlements Associated with the Wildfires
Based on the facts and circumstances available to PacifiCorp as of the date of this filing, including (i) ongoing cause and origin investigations; (ii) ongoing settlement and mediation discussions; (iii) other litigation matters and upcoming legal proceedings; and (iv) the status of the James case, PacifiCorp recorded cumulative estimated probable losses associated with the Wildfires of $2,753 million through March 31, 2025. PacifiCorp's cumulative accrual includes estimates of probable losses for fire suppression costs, real and personal property damages, natural resource damages and noneconomic damages such as personal injury damages and loss of life damages that it is reasonably able to estimate at this time and which is subject to change as additional relevant information becomes available.
Through March 31, 2025, PacifiCorp paid $1,331 million in settlements associated with the Wildfires. As a result of the settlements, various trials have been cancelled. In April 2025 and through the date of this filing, PacifiCorp made additional settlement payments related to the Wildfires totaling $2 million.
The following table presents changes in PacifiCorp's liability for estimated losses associated with the Wildfires (in millions):
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | | Three-Month Periods |
| | | Ended March 31, |
| | | | | 2025 | | 2024 |
| | | | | | | |

| | | | | | | |
Payments | | | | | (114) | | | (18) | |
Ending balance | | | | | $ | 1,422 | | | $ | 1,705 | |
As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, $134 million and $247 million of PacifiCorp's liability for estimated losses associated with the Wildfires was included in Other current liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The amounts reflected as current as of March 31, 2025 reflect amounts reasonably expected to be paid out within the next year based on settlements reached as well as ongoing settlement and mediation efforts. The remainder of PacifiCorp's liability for estimated losses associated with the Wildfires as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024 was included in Other long-term liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.
The following table presents changes in PacifiCorp's receivable for expected insurance recoveries associated with the Wildfires (in millions):
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | | Three-Month Periods |
| | | Ended March 31, |
| | | | | 2025 | | 2024 |

| | | | | | | |
Payments received | | | | | (98) | | | (350) | |
Ending balance | | | | | $ | — | | | $ | 149 | |
As of March 31, 2025, PacifiCorp had received all expected insurance recoveries. As of December 31, 2024, PacifiCorp's receivable for expected insurance recoveries was included in Other current assets on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. No additional insurance recoveries beyond those received to date are expected to be available.
It is reasonably possible PacifiCorp will incur material additional losses beyond the amounts accrued for the Wildfires that could have a material adverse effect on PacifiCorp's financial condition. PacifiCorp is currently unable to reasonably estimate a specific range of possible additional losses that could be incurred due to the number of properties and parties involved, including claimants in the class to the James case and the 2022 McKinney Fire, the variation in the types of properties and damages and the ultimate outcome of legal actions, including mediation, settlement negotiations, jury verdicts and the appeals process.
HomeServices Antitrust Cases
HomeServices is currently defending against several antitrust cases, all in federal district courts. In each case, plaintiffs claim HomeServices and certain of its subsidiaries (in one instance, HomeServices and BHE) conspired with co-defendants to artificially inflate real estate commissions by following and enforcing multiple listing service ("MLS") rules that require listing agents to offer a commission split to cooperating agents in order for the property to appear on the MLS ("Cooperative Compensation Rule"). None of the complaints specify damages sought. However, two cases allege Texas state law deceptive trade practices claims, for which plaintiffs have asserted damages totaling approximately $9 billion by separate written notice as required by Texas law.
In April 2019, the Burnett (formerly Sitzer) et al. v. HomeServices of America, Inc. et al. complaint was filed in the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Missouri (the "Burnett case"). This lawsuit, which was certified as a class in April 2022, was originally brought on behalf of named plaintiffs Joshua Sitzer and Amy Winger against the National Association of Realtors ("NAR"), Anywhere Real Estate, HomeServices of America, Inc., RE/MAX, LLC, and Keller Williams Realty, Inc. HSF Affiliates LLC and BHH Affiliates, LLC, each a subsidiary of HomeServices, were subsequently added as defendants. Rhonda Burnett became a lead class plaintiff in June 2021. The jury trial commenced on October 16, 2023, and the jury returned a verdict for the plaintiffs on October 31, 2023, finding that the named defendants participated in a conspiracy to follow and enforce the Cooperative Compensation Rule, which conspiracy had the purpose or effect of raising, inflating, or stabilizing broker commission rates paid by home sellers. The jury further found that the class plaintiffs had proved damages in the amount of $1.8 billion. Joint and several liability applies for the co-defendants. Federal law authorizes trebling of damages and the award of pre-judgment interest and attorney fees. Prior to the trial, Anywhere Real Estate and RE/MAX, LLC reached settlement agreements with the plaintiffs. Subsequent to the trial, settlements were reached by Keller Williams, NAR and HomeServices on February 1, 2024, March 15, 2024, and April 25, 2024, respectively. The Anywhere Real Estate, RE/MAX, LLC and Keller Williams settlements received final court approval on May 9, 2024, and the NAR and HomeServices settlements received final court approval on November 27, 2024. All settlements have been appealed to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit. The U.S. District Court for the Western District of Missouri entered final judgment on the NAR and HomeServices settlements on January 15, 2025.
The final HomeServices settlement agreement with the plaintiffs settles all claims asserted against HomeServices, HSF Affiliates LLC and BHH Affiliates, LLC in the Burnett case and effectuates a nationwide class settlement. The final settlement agreement includes scheduled payments over the next four years aggregating $250 million, with payments of $10 million in September 2024 and $57 million in February 2025. HomeServices recognized an after-tax charge of approximately $140 million in the first quarter of 2024, and the liability outstanding as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, was $142 million and $194 million, respectively. If the settlement is not affirmed by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit, HomeServices intends to vigorously appeal on multiple grounds the jury's findings and damage award in the Burnett case, including whether the case can proceed as a class action. The appeals process and further actions could take several years.
Guarantees
The Company has entered into guarantees as part of the normal course of business and the sale or transfer of certain assets. These guarantees are not expected to have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial results.

(1)Includes the tax attributes of disregarded entities that are not required to pay income taxes and the earnings of which are taxable directly to BHE.
Earnings on common shares increased $531 million for the first quarter of 2025 compared to 2024. Included in these results was a pre-tax gain in the first quarter of 2025 of $110 million ($87 million after-tax) compared to a pre-tax loss in the first quarter of 2024 of $137 million ($108 million after-tax) related to the Company's investment in BYD Company Limited. Excluding the impact of this item, adjusted earnings on common shares for the first quarter of 2025 was $1,097 million, an increase of $336 million, or 44%, compared to adjusted earnings on common shares for the first quarter of 2024 of $761 million.
The increase in earnings on common shares for the first quarter of 2025 compared to 2024 was primarily due to the following:
•The Utilities' earnings increased $52 million, primarily due to higher electric utility margin and higher PTCs recognized, partially offset by higher depreciation and amortization expense, lower interest and dividend income, increased operations and maintenance expense, lower allowances for equity and borrowed funds used during construction and unfavorable changes in the cash surrender value of corporate-owned life insurance policies. Electric retail customer volumes increased 4.2% for the first quarter of 2025 compared to 2024, primarily due to the favorable impact of weather and an increase in the average number of customers;
•Northern Powergrid's earnings increased $59 million, primarily due to higher distribution revenue, partially offset by higher income tax expense from a charge related to the March 2025 enactment of a change in the Energy Profits Levy income tax and lower group relief tax claims. Units distributed increased 1.9% mainly due to higher customer usage;
•BHE Pipeline Group's earnings decreased $11 million, primarily due to higher interest expense from debt issuances in January 2025 and debt refinancings in the fourth quarter of 2024 at higher interest rates, lower margin on gas sales and lower equity earnings, partially offset by higher transportation and storage revenues at Northern Natural Gas and EGTS and higher variable revenue at Cove Point;
•BHE Renewables' earnings increased $39 million, primarily due to higher earnings from the wind tax equity investment portfolio, favorable derivative contract valuations and higher solar earnings from higher generation;
•HomeServices' earnings increased $144 million, primarily due to an after-tax charge of approximately $140 million recognized in the first quarter of 2024 associated with a settlement reached in the ongoing real estate industry litigation matters; and
•BHE and Other's earnings increased $252 million, primarily due to the $195 million favorable comparative change related to the Company's investment in BYD Company Limited and higher federal income tax credits recognized on a consolidated basis, partially offset by unfavorable changes in the cash surrender value of corporate-owned life insurance policies.
Reportable Segment Results
PacifiCorp
Operating revenue increased $220 million for the first quarter of 2025 compared to 2024, primarily due to higher retail revenue of $202 million and higher wholesale and other revenue of $18 million. Retail revenue increased primarily due to price impacts of $164 million from higher average rates, largely from tariff changes, and $38 million from higher retail volumes. Retail customer volumes increased 2.4% primarily due to the favorable impact of weather and an increase in the average number of customers. Wholesale and other revenue increased primarily due to higher wholesale volumes, partially offset by lower average wholesale prices.
Earnings increased $64 million for the first quarter of 2025 compared to 2024, primarily due to higher utility margin of $134 million and higher PTCs recognized of $22 million. These items were partially offset by lower interest and dividend income of $30 million, decreased allowances for equity and borrowed funds used during construction of $28 million, higher operations and maintenance expense of $8 million and increased depreciation and amortization expense of $7 million. Utility margin increased primarily due to higher retail rates and volumes, lower purchased electricity costs and higher wholesale volumes, partially offset by unfavorable deferred net power costs and higher thermal generation costs. Operations and maintenance expense increased due to increased amortization of demand-side management costs, higher insurance premiums and increased salary and benefit expenses, partially offset by lower vegetation management and other wildfire prevention costs and the timing of federal grant reimbursement accruals. Depreciation and amortization increased due to additional assets placed in-service, partially offset by the impacts of certain regulatory mechanisms.
MidAmerican Funding
Operating revenue increased $171 million for the first quarter of 2025 compared to 2024, primarily due to higher electric operating revenue of $102 million and higher natural gas operating revenue of $69 million. Electric operating revenue increased due to higher retail revenue of $64 million and higher wholesale and other revenue of $38 million. Electric retail revenue increased primarily due to higher recoveries through adjustment clauses of $27 million (fully offset in cost of sales, operations and maintenance expense and income tax benefit), higher retail volumes of $27 million and price impacts of $9 million from changes in sales mix. Electric retail customer volumes increased 11.3%, primarily due to higher customer usage, the favorable impact of weather and an increase in the average number of customers. Electric wholesale and other revenue increased mainly due to higher average wholesale prices of $39 million. Natural gas operating revenue increased primarily due to higher energy-related rates of $69 million (fully offset in cost of sales) from a higher average per-unit cost of natural gas sold and the favorable impact of weather of $7 million, partially offset by lower base rates of $7 million.
Earnings decreased $7 million for the first quarter of 2025 compared to 2024, primarily due to higher depreciation and amortization expense of $80 million, unfavorable changes in the cash surrender value of corporate-owned life insurance policies of $14 million and higher operations and maintenance expense of $9 million. These items were partially offset by higher electric utility margin of $81 million and higher PTCs recognized of $19 million. Depreciation and amortization expense increased primarily due to the impacts of certain regulatory mechanisms and additional assets placed in-service. Operations and maintenance expense increased primarily due to increased general and plant maintenance costs, partially offset by lower technology and other costs. Electric utility margin increased primarily due to higher retail and wholesale revenues, partially offset by higher thermal generation and purchased electricity costs.
NV Energy
Operating revenue decreased $190 million for the first quarter of 2025 compared to 2024, primarily due to lower electric operating revenue of $154 million and lower natural gas operating revenue of $37 million, largely due to lower energy-related rates (fully offset in cost of sales) from a lower average per-unit cost of natural gas sold. Electric operating revenue decreased primarily due to lower fully bundled energy rates (fully offset in cost of sales) of $164 million, partially offset by higher base rates of $11 million at Sierra Pacific. Electric retail customer volumes increased 0.8%, primarily due to an increase in the average number of customers, partially offset by lower customer usage.
Earnings decreased $5 million for the first quarter of 2025 compared to 2024, primarily due to higher operations and maintenance expense of $9 million, lower interest and dividend income of $7 million and higher interest expense of $6 million. These items were partially offset by higher electric utility margin of $10 million and higher allowances for equity and borrowed funds of $3 million. Operations and maintenance expense increased primarily due to higher insurance premiums and increased general and plant maintenance costs, partially offset by lower technology and other costs. Interest and dividend income decreased mainly from carrying charges on higher deferred energy balances in 2024. Interest expense increased due to higher debt outstanding. Electric utility margin increased primarily due to higher base rates at Sierra Pacific Power.
Northern Powergrid
Operating revenue increased $106 million for the first quarter of 2025 compared to 2024, primarily due to higher distribution revenue of $108 million. Distribution revenue increased primarily due to higher tariff rates of $114 million driven by the impacts of inflation and an increase in units distributed of 1.9% mainly due to higher customer usage, partially offset by lower recoveries of Supplier of Last Resort payments of $12 million (largely offset in cost of sales).
Earnings increased $59 million for the first quarter of 2025 compared to 2024, primarily due to higher distribution revenue, partially offset by higher income tax expense from a charge related to the March 2025 enactment of a change in the Energy Profits Levy income tax of $14 million and lower group relief tax claims of $6 million.
BHE Pipeline Group
Operating revenue increased $57 million for the first quarter of 2025 compared to 2024, primarily due to higher operating revenue of $51 million at BHE GT&S and higher non-regulated revenues of $9 million from additional compressor units placed in-service, partially offset by lower operating revenue of $3 million at Northern Natural Gas. The increase in operating revenue at BHE GT&S was primarily due to higher revenues at Cove Point of $31 million, largely from favorable variable revenue, increased non-regulated revenue of $9 million (largely offset in cost of sales) primarily from higher volumes, higher regulated gas transmission and storage services revenue of $7 million at EGTS largely due to higher volumes and increased regulated gas transmission services revenue of $6 million at Carolina Gas Transmission, LLC due to the impacts of a general rate case. The decrease in operating revenue at Northern Natural Gas was primarily due to lower gas sales of $18 million from system balancing activities, partially offset by higher transportation and storage revenues of $14 million due to higher volumes and rates.
Earnings decreased $11 million for the first quarter of 2025 compared to 2024, primarily due to lower earnings of $20 million at Northern Natural Gas, partially offset by higher earnings of $7 million at BHE GT&S. The decrease at Northern Natural Gas was primarily due to lower margin on gas sales of $19 million from system balancing activities, higher operations and maintenance expense of $7 million, largely from increased costs for operations projects, and decreased interest and dividend income of $5 million, partially offset by higher transportation and storage revenues. The increase at BHE GT&S was primarily due to higher earnings at Cove Point of $18 million, largely from favorable variable revenue, increased interest and dividend income of $14 million, higher regulated gas transmission and storage services revenue at EGTS and lower operations and maintenance expense of $6 million due to decreased general and plant maintenance costs and lower salary and benefit expenses, partially offset by higher interest expense of $27 million, primarily from debt issuances in January 2025 and debt refinancings in the fourth quarter of 2024 at higher interest rates, and lower equity earnings of $15 million.
BHE Transmission
Operating revenue decreased $12 million for the first quarter of 2025 compared to 2024, primarily due to $11 million from the stronger U.S. dollar.
Earnings decreased $4 million for the first quarter of 2025 compared to 2024, primarily due to $3 million from the stronger U.S. dollar.
BHE Renewables
Operating revenue decreased $90 million for the first quarter of 2025 compared to 2024, primarily due to lower electric and natural gas retail energy services revenue of $131 million from the sale of customer contracts in December 2024, partially offset by higher natural gas revenue of $17 million from higher pricing and higher generation, higher wind revenue of $13 million from favorable changes in the valuations of certain derivative contracts and higher solar revenue of $13 million from higher generation.
Earnings increased $39 million for the first quarter of 2025 compared to 2024, primarily due to higher wind earnings of $31 million and higher solar earnings of $10 million from higher generation. Wind earnings increased due to higher earnings from the wind tax equity investment portfolio of $19 million, primarily due to the addition of eight tax equity investments from a common control merger completed in December 2024, and higher earnings from owned wind projects of $12 million mainly due to favorable derivative contract valuations.
HomeServices
Operating revenue decreased $6 million for the first quarter of 2025 compared to 2024, primarily due to lower brokerage and settlement services revenue of $15 million, partially offset by higher mortgage revenue of $10 million. The decrease in brokerage and settlement services revenue resulted from a 7% decrease in closed brokerage units driven by the continued slowdown of overall market activity due to increased interest rates and low inventory. The increase in mortgage revenue was due to a 12% increase in funded volume and an 8% increase in average loan size.
Earnings increased $144 million for the first quarter of 2025 compared to 2024, primarily due to an after-tax charge of approximately $140 million recognized in the first quarter of 2024 associated with a settlement reached in the ongoing real estate industry litigation matters.
BHE and Other
Earnings increased $252 million for the first quarter of 2025 compared to 2024, primarily due to the $195 million favorable comparative change related to the Company's investment in BYD Company Limited and $70 million of higher federal income tax credits recognized on a consolidated basis, partially offset by unfavorable changes in the cash surrender value of corporate-owned life insurance policies of $14 million.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Each of BHE's direct and indirect subsidiaries is organized as a legal entity separate and apart from BHE and its other subsidiaries. It should not be assumed that the assets of any subsidiary will be available to satisfy BHE's obligations or the obligations of its other subsidiaries. However, unrestricted cash or other assets that are available for distribution may, subject to applicable law, regulatory commitments and the terms of financing and ring-fencing arrangements for such parties, be advanced, loaned, paid as dividends or otherwise distributed or contributed to BHE or affiliates thereof. The Company's long-term debt may include provisions that allow BHE or its subsidiaries to redeem such debt in whole or in part at any time. These provisions generally include make-whole premiums. Refer to Note 18 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 8 of the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024 for further discussion regarding the limitation of distributions from BHE's subsidiaries.

The Company's operating results and capital expenditures for certain projects may be affected in future periods by impacts of ongoing macroeconomic and geopolitical events. The pace of changes in these events, including international trade policies and tariffs, has accelerated in 2025. Considerable uncertainty remains as to the ultimate outcome of these events. The Company is unable to reliably predict the ultimate outcome or the potential impact on its business.
Operating Activities
Net cash flows from operating activities for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, were $2,021 million and $1,986 million, respectively. The increase was primarily due to favorable operating results, partially offset by higher wildfire liability settlement payments, higher cash paid for interest and changes in working capital, including lower receipts of insurance reimbursements related to wildfire liabilities.
The timing of the Company's income tax cash flows from period to period can be significantly affected by the estimated federal income tax payment methods selected and assumptions made for each payment date.
Investing Activities
Net cash flows from investing activities for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, were $(1.6) billion and $(2.1) billion, respectively. The change was primarily due to higher proceeds from sales, net of purchases of marketable securities of $565 million and lower capital expenditures of $25 million. Refer to "Future Uses of Cash" for a discussion of capital expenditures.
Financing Activities
Net cash flows from financing activities for the three-month period ended March 31, 2025, was $0.9 billion. Sources of cash totaled $2.4 billion and consisted of proceeds from subsidiary debt issuances. Uses of cash totaled $1.4 billion and consisted mainly of preferred stock redemptions of $481 million, net repayments of short-term debt totaling $441 million and repayments of BHE senior debt of $400 million.
For a discussion of recent financing transactions and BHE shareholder's equity transactions, refer to Notes 5 and 11 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in Part I, Item 1 of this Form 10-Q.
Net cash flows from financing activities for the three-month period ended March 31, 2024, was $2.3 billion. Sources of cash totaled $5.1 billion and consisted of proceeds from subsidiary debt issuances. Uses of cash totaled $2.8 billion and consisted mainly of net repayments of short-term debt totaling $2.6 billion and repayments of subsidiary debt totaling $103 million.
Future Uses of Cash
The Company has available a variety of sources of liquidity and capital resources, both internal and external, including net cash flows from operating activities, public and private debt offerings, the issuance of commercial paper, the use of unsecured revolving credit facilities, the issuance of equity and other sources. These sources are expected to provide funds required for current operations, capital expenditures, acquisitions, investments, debt retirements and other capital requirements. The availability and terms under which BHE and each subsidiary has access to external financing depends on a variety of factors, including regulatory approvals, its credit ratings, investors' judgment of risk and conditions in the overall capital markets, including the condition of the utility industry and project finance markets, among other items.
Capital Expenditures
The Company has significant future capital requirements. Capital expenditure needs are reviewed regularly by management and may change significantly as a result of these reviews, which may consider, among other factors, impacts to customer rates; changes in environmental and other rules and regulations; outcomes of regulatory proceedings; changes in income tax laws; general business conditions; load projections; system reliability standards; the cost and efficiency of construction labor, equipment and materials; commodity prices; and the cost and availability of capital.

Material Cash Requirements
As of March 31, 2025, there have been no material changes in cash requirements from the information provided in Item 7 of the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024, other than those disclosed in Notes 5 and 9 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in Part I, Item 1 of this Form 10-Q.
Regulatory Matters
BHE's regulated subsidiaries and certain affiliates are subject to comprehensive regulation. The discussion below contains material developments to those matters disclosed in Item 1 of each Registrant's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024, and new regulatory matters occurring in 2025.
PacifiCorp
Utah
In May 2024, PacifiCorp filed its EBA application to recover deferred net power costs from 2023. In June 2024, the UPSC approved an interim rate increase of $256 million, or 11.6%, effective July 1, 2024, allowing for recovery of a total $432 million of deferred net power costs. In February 2025, the UPSC issued a final order reducing the total final EBA recovery by $24 million, primarily for costs related to the Washington Cap and Invest program. The reductions from the final order will be reflected in the 2024 EBA filing made in May 2025. In March 2025, PacifiCorp filed a request for review or rehearing regarding the disallowed costs that was denied by the UPSC in April 2024.
In June 2024, PacifiCorp filed a general rate case requesting a rate increase over two years that included increased net power costs, capital investments in transmission and wind‑powered generating facilities and higher insurance premiums for third-party liability coverage. In August 2024, PacifiCorp filed an amended application that removed the second rate increase that was associated with net power costs and updated costs associated with insurance premiums. The amended filing requested a rate increase of $394 million, or 16.7%, effective February 23, 2025. In November and December 2024, PacifiCorp filed updated testimony that further revised the requested rate increase to $330 million, or 14.0%. In April 2025, the UPSC issued a final order approving a rate increase of $87 million, or 3.7%, effective April 25, 2025. Most significantly, the final order substantially limits PacifiCorp's recovery of costs associated with insurance premiums, lowers PacifiCorp's authorized return on equity and equity component of its capital structure, reduces forecast base net power costs and substantially limits recovery for amounts previously deferred under the wildland fire mitigation balancing account.
In May 2025, PacifiCorp filed its EBA application to recover deferred net power costs from 2024. The filing requests recovery of a total $472 million of deferred net power costs, effective on an interim basis July 1, 2025. The request would result in a rate increase of $40 million, or 1.6%.
Oregon
In February 2025, PacifiCorp filed an application for reconsideration or rehearing with the OPUC regarding the level of recovery provided for Oregon's share of wildfire mitigation investments and PacifiCorp's return on investment in its 416-mile, 500-kV high voltage transmission line set forth in the December 2024 general rate case order. In April 2025, the OPUC denied reconsideration, and PacifiCorp is pursuing review of this decision with the Oregon Court of Appeals.
In April 2025, PacifiCorp filed a renewable adjustment clause application with the OPUC to recover the full costs of certain wind‑powered generating facilities and associated transmission lines that are being only partially recovered as a result of the 2024 general rate case. The application seeks a rate increase of $51 million, or 2.5%, effective January 1, 2026.
Wyoming
In August 2024, PacifiCorp filed a general rate case requesting a rate increase of $124 million, or 14.7%, to become effective June 1, 2025. The request included new capital investments in transmission and wind-powered generating facilities, a new insurance cost adjustment mechanism and proposed adjustments to the ECAM. In January 2025, PacifiCorp filed updated testimony that reduced the requested rate increase to $110 million, or 13.1%. In March 2025, a multi‑party settlement stipulation was filed that requested a rate increase of $86 million, or 10.2%. In April 2025, the Wyoming Public Service Commission approved the stipulation as filed, with rates effective June 1, 2025.
In April 2025, PacifiCorp filed its ECAM and renewable revenue adjustment mechanism to recover deferred net power costs from 2024. The combined filing requests a rate decrease of $47 million, or 5.8%, to be effective on an interim basis on July 1, 2025.
Washington
In March 2023, PacifiCorp filed a general rate case requesting a two-year rate plan with a rate increase that included recovery of increases in net power costs and new major capital investments in transmission and wind-powered generating facilities. In March 2024, the WUTC accepted the multi-party settlement stipulation for which the first-year rate increase went into effect April 3, 2024. In March 2025, PacifiCorp submitted a compliance filing for the second year of the two-year rate plan, resulting in a rate increase of $16 million, or 3.8%, effective April 3, 2025. The compliance filing included updated net power cost forecasts that resulted in a $5 million decrease to the stipulated second year increase.
As part of the stipulation in the above two-year general rate case, PacifiCorp agreed to file a review and potential refund of provisional capital not placed in-service. After the determination of any refund under the capital review process, PacifiCorp's restated actual rate of return will be compared against the authorized rate of return to determine if any deferral is necessary under Washington's multiyear rate plan legislation. In July 2024, PacifiCorp submitted a provisional capital report for calendar year 2023. During review of the provisional capital report in February 2025, the WUTC ordered a refund of $64,000 related to specific wind‑powered generating facilities.
In April 2025, PacifiCorp filed a power cost only rate case, as directed by the WUTC in the 2023 general rate case, to reset the baseline net power costs to remove coal-fueled resources from rates. The filing requests a $34 million, or 7.9%, rate increase effective January 1, 2026.
Idaho
In March 2025, PacifiCorp filed its ECAM to recover deferred net power costs from 2024. The filing requested a rate increase of $8 million, or 2.2%, effective June 1, 2025. The filing excludes costs associated with the Washington Cap and Invest program, for which PacifiCorp filed a deferral application in March 2025, for $2 million in costs incurred in 2024, since recovery of such costs under the 2023 ECAM filing are under appeal in the Idaho Supreme Court.
California
In May 2022, PacifiCorp filed a general rate case requesting an overall rate change to become effective January 1, 2023. In November 2022, the CPUC granted the requested rate effective date and directed PacifiCorp to establish a memorandum account to track the change in rates beginning January 1, 2023 until the new rates become effective. In February 2023, the CPUC issued a ruling requesting additional information on PacifiCorp's wildfire and risk analyses and requested additional information regarding wildfire memorandum accounts and in March 2023, the CPUC split the general rate case into two tracks. The first track addressed the general rate case and the second track addresses the wildfire memorandum accounts. In December 2023, the CPUC issued an order for the first track approving a rate increase effective January 12, 2024 and recovery of the aforementioned memorandum account over three years. In the second track of the general rate case, PacifiCorp filed the independent audit of the wildfire memorandum accounts in January 2024, indicating no findings. In January 2025, the CPUC issued a proposed decision authorizing PacifiCorp to recover $36 million related to historic wildfire mitigation costs. In February 2025, the CPUC issued a final decision authorizing PacifiCorp to recover these costs over six years, effective April 15, 2025.
MidAmerican Energy
Iowa Transmission Legislation
In June 2020, Iowa enacted legislation that grants incumbent electric transmission owners the right to construct, own and maintain electric transmission lines that have been approved for construction in a federally registered planning authority's transmission plan and that connect to the incumbent electric transmission owner's facility. This Right of First Refusal ("ROFR") law gave MidAmerican Energy, as an incumbent electric transmission owner, the legal right to construct, own and maintain transmission lines in MidAmerican Energy's service territory that have been approved by the MISO (or another federally registered planning authority) and are eligible to receive regional cost allocation. In October 2020, national transmission interests filed a lawsuit that challenged the law on state constitutional grounds. After an appeal in which the Iowa Supreme Court held the national transmission interests had standing to challenge the law and remanded the case to the Iowa district court for a decision on the merits, the district court, in December 2023, found the legislature impermissibly "log-rolled" the ROFR law into a state appropriations bill in violation of the title and single-subject provisions of the Iowa Constitution and held that the law was unconstitutional and unenforceable. The district court issued an injunction that enjoins MidAmerican Energy and ITC Midwest from further developing the Long Range Transmission Projects ("LRTP") Tranche 1 projects to the extent authority to construct was claimed pursuant to, under, or in reliance on the invalid ROFR law, but allows either company to proceed with projects assigned in a manner not relying on the claimed existence of the law.
In April 2024, MidAmerican Energy and ITC Midwest filed an appeal to the Iowa Supreme Court that challenges the application of the injunction to the LRTP Tranche 1 projects; MISO filed an amicus brief that supports the positions taken by MidAmerican Energy and ITC Midwest. The Iowa Supreme Court retained the case for decision rather than sending it to the court of appeals. Oral arguments were held April 16, 2025. MidAmerican Energy expects a ruling on the appeal by the end of June, which is the conclusion of the court's term. The district court injunction remains in effect while the appeal is pending.
In May 2024, MISO issued a public notice that advised it was proceeding with a variance analysis under its tariff to assess actions that could be taken to mitigate the obstacle to construct posed by the district court injunction. The notice confirmed the injunction did not change ownership of the projects or cause any project facility classification to be modified to a competitive transmission facility under MISO's tariff. It also confirmed the injunction did not suspend either company's obligation to construct the projects under MISO's tariff. In August 2024, MISO issued notice of the outcome of its variance analysis, determining that a mitigation plan was the appropriate outcome under the MISO tariff. As part of the mitigation plan, MISO's Competitive Transmission Executive Committee determined the projects should be assigned to the incumbent transmission owners under the transmission owners agreement, which results in no change to the project assignments. MISO's notice reaffirmed that MidAmerican Energy and ITC Midwest remain obligated to construct the projects under MISO's tariff. In October 2024, the national transmission interests filed a motion with the district court that asks the court to enforce the injunction and enjoin MidAmerican Energy and ITC Midwest from proceeding with the projects under MISO's mitigation plan, arguing the injunction remains applicable because the mitigation plan relies on the continued existence of the ROFR law. MidAmerican Energy and ITC Midwest resisted, arguing that the motion is legally and factually erroneous and that the injunction would improperly interfere with MISO's exclusive authority under federally authorized tariffs. A hearing on the motion was held on February 20, 2025, where the district court denied the motion without prejudice on procedural grounds. The national transmission interests could refile as a contempt action.
The litigation regarding the ROFR law would only affect the manner in which MidAmerican Energy would secure the right to construct transmission lines that are eligible for regional cost allocation and are otherwise subject to competitive bidding under the MISO tariff; it does not negatively affect or implicate MidAmerican Energy's ongoing rights to construct any other transmission lines, including lines required to serve new or expanded retail load, connect new generators or meet reliability criteria.
NV Energy (Nevada Power and Sierra Pacific)
In February 2025, Nevada Power filed an electric regulatory rate review with the PUCN that requested an annual revenue increase of $215 million, or 9.0%. Nevada Power filed its certification filing in April 2025 that updated the requested annual revenue increase to $224 million, or 9.4%. Hearings in the cost of capital phase are scheduled for June 2025 and hearings for the revenue requirement and rate design phases are scheduled for July 2025. An order is expected by the third quarter of 2025 and, if approved, rates are proposed to be effective October 1, 2025.
Environmental Laws and Regulations
Each Registrant is subject to federal, state, local and foreign laws and regulations regarding air quality, climate change, emissions performance standards, water quality, coal ash disposal and other environmental matters that have the potential to impact each Registrant's current and future operations. In addition to imposing continuing compliance obligations, these laws and regulations provide regulators with the authority to levy substantial penalties for noncompliance, including fines, injunctive relief and other sanctions. These laws and regulations are administered by various federal, state, local and international agencies. Each Registrant believes it is in material compliance with all applicable laws and regulations, although many are subject to interpretation that may ultimately be resolved by the courts. There were no material developments to those matters disclosed in Item 1 of each Registrant's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024, or new environmental matters occurring in 2025.
Critical Accounting Estimates
Certain accounting measurements require management to make estimates and judgments concerning transactions that will be settled several years in the future. Amounts recognized on the Consolidated Financial Statements based on such estimates involve numerous assumptions subject to varying and potentially significant degrees of judgment and uncertainty and will likely change in the future as additional information becomes available. Estimates are used for, but not limited to, the accounting for the effects of certain types of regulation, impairment of goodwill and long-lived assets, pension and other postretirement benefits, income taxes and loss contingencies. For additional discussion of the Company's critical accounting estimates, see Item 7 of the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024. There have been no significant changes in the Company's assumptions regarding critical accounting estimates since December 31, 2024. Refer to Note 9 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in Part I, Item 1 of this Form 10-Q for discussion of loss contingencies related to the Wildfires.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors and Shareholder of
PacifiCorp
Results of Review of Interim Financial Information
We have reviewed the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of PacifiCorp and subsidiaries ("PacifiCorp") as of March 31, 2025, the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in shareholders' equity, and cash flows for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the "interim financial information"). Based on our reviews, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to the accompanying interim financial information for it to be in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
We have previously audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the consolidated balance sheet of PacifiCorp as of December 31, 2024, and the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive income (loss), changes in shareholders' equity, and cash flows for the year then ended (not presented herein); and in our report dated February 21, 2025, we expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements. In our opinion, the information set forth in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2024, is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the consolidated balance sheet from which it has been derived.
Basis for Review Results
This interim financial information is the responsibility of PacifiCorp's management. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to PacifiCorp in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our reviews in accordance with standards of the PCAOB. A review of interim financial information consists principally of applying analytical procedures and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB, the objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
(1) General
PacifiCorp, which includes PacifiCorp and its subsidiaries, is a U.S. regulated electric utility company serving retail customers, including residential, commercial, industrial, irrigation and other customers in portions of Utah, Oregon, Wyoming, Washington, Idaho and California. PacifiCorp owns, or has interests in, a number of thermal, hydroelectric, wind-powered and geothermal generating facilities, as well as electric transmission and distribution assets. PacifiCorp also buys and sells electricity on the wholesale market with other utilities, energy marketing companies, financial institutions and other market participants. PacifiCorp is subject to comprehensive state and federal regulation. PacifiCorp's subsidiaries support its electric utility operations by providing coal mining services. PacifiCorp is an indirect subsidiary of Berkshire Hathaway Energy Company ("BHE"), a holding company headquartered in Iowa that has investments in subsidiaries principally engaged in energy businesses. BHE is a wholly owned subsidiary of Berkshire Hathaway Inc. ("Berkshire Hathaway").
The unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP") for interim financial information and the United States Securities and Exchange Commission's rules and regulations for Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the disclosures required by GAAP for annual financial statements. Management believes the unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements contain all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for the fair presentation of the unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements as of March 31, 2025, and for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2025 and 2024. The Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income (Loss) have been omitted as net income (loss) materially equals comprehensive income (loss) for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2025 and 2024. The results of operations for the three-month period ended March 31, 2025, are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.
The preparation of the unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the period. Actual results may differ from the estimates used in preparing the unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements. Note 2 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in PacifiCorp's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024, describes the most significant accounting policies used in the preparation of the unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements. There have been no significant changes in PacifiCorp's accounting policies or its assumptions regarding significant accounting estimates during the three-month period ended March 31, 2025. Refer to Note 10 for discussion of loss contingencies related to the Oregon and Northern California 2020 wildfires (the "2020 Wildfires") and the wildfire that began in the Oak Knoll Ranger District of the Klamath National Forest in Siskiyou County, California in July 2022 (the "2022 McKinney Fire"), collectively referred to as the "Wildfires."
Segment Information
PacifiCorp currently has one reportable segment, its regulated electric utility operations, which derives its revenue from regulated retail sales of electricity to residential, commercial, industrial and irrigation customers and from wholesale sales. PacifiCorp's chief operating decision maker ("CODM") is its Chief Executive Officer. The CODM uses net income, as reported on the Consolidated Statements of Operations, and generally considers actual results versus historical results, budgets or forecasts, as well as unique risks and opportunities, when making decisions about the allocation of resources and capital. The segment expenses regularly provided to the CODM align with the captions presented on the Consolidated Statements of Operations. PacifiCorp's segment capital expenditures are reported on the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows as capital expenditures. PacifiCorp's segment assets are reported on the Consolidated Balance Sheet as total assets.
(2) New Accounting Pronouncements
In December 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2023-09, Income Taxes Topic 740, "Income Tax—Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures" which requires enhanced disclosures, including specific categories and disaggregation of information in the effective tax rate reconciliation, disaggregated information related to income taxes paid, income or loss from continuing operations before income tax expense or benefit, and income tax expense or benefit from continuing operations. This guidance is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted and should be applied on a prospective basis, however retrospective application is permitted. PacifiCorp is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this guidance on its Consolidated Financial Statements and disclosures included within Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU No. 2024-03, Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures Subtopic 220-40, "Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses" which addresses requests from investors for more detailed information about certain expenses and requires disclosure of the amounts of purchases of inventory, employee compensation, depreciation and intangible asset amortization included in each relevant expense caption presented on the income statement. This guidance is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026 and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption is permitted and should be applied on a prospective basis, however retrospective application is permitted. PacifiCorp is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this guidance on its Consolidated Financial Statements and disclosures included within Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.
(3) Cash and Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash equivalents consist of funds invested in money market mutual funds, U.S. Treasury Bills and other investments with a maturity of three months or less when purchased. Cash and cash equivalents exclude amounts where availability is restricted by legal requirements, loan agreements or other contractual provisions. Restricted cash and cash equivalents consist substantially of funds representing vendor retention, nuclear decommissioning and custodial funds. A reconciliation of cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash and cash equivalents as presented on the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows is outlined below and disaggregated by the line items in which they appear on the Consolidated Balance Sheets (in millions):
| | | | | | | | | | | |
| As of |

(4) Property, Plant and Equipment, Net
Property, plant and equipment, net consists of the following (in millions):
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | | As of |
| | | March 31, | | December 31, |
| Depreciable Life | | 2025 | | 2024 |

Construction work-in-progress | | | 3,797 | | | 3,550 | |
Property, plant and equipment, net | | | $ | 29,487 | | | $ | 29,120 | |
On January 1, 2025, PacifiCorp implemented the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission's ("FERC") Order 898, "Accounting and Reporting Treatment of Certain Renewable Energy Assets," which required certain plant balances to be reclassified to different functions. As a result of the implementation, $229 million, $42 million and $169 million was transferred to Transmission, Generation and Distribution plant, respectively, from Intangible plant and other primarily due to communications assets previously reported as other plant being functionalized to the noted categories.
Government Grants
On January 20, 2025, U.S. federal executive order entitled Unleashing American Energy was issued requiring federal agencies to immediately pause disbursement of federal funds appropriated under the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 and the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, subject to respective agency review within 90 days of the date of the order of the agency's processes, policies and programs for issuing grants consistent with the policies stated in the executive order. Based on discussions with the Department of Energy ("DOE") contracting officers, PacifiCorp does not believe the executive order will impact funding for PacifiCorp's contracted awards. PacifiCorp has been working closely with DOE contracting officers regarding submission of costs for reimbursement.
As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, approximately $22 million and $11 million, respectively, of federal grant funds reduced additions to Property, plant and equipment – net on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. During the three-month period ended March 31, 2025, approximately $13 million of federal grant funds reduced operating expenses on the Consolidated Statements of Operations. Federal grant funds received during the three-month period ended March 31, 2024 were insignificant.
(5) Recent Financing Transactions
Junior Subordinated Debt
In March 2025, PacifiCorp issued $850 million of its 7.375% Fixed-to-Fixed Reset Rate Junior Subordinated Notes due September 2055. PacifiCorp will pay interest on the notes at a rate of 7.375% through September 2030, subject to a reset every five years, not to reset below 7.375%. PacifiCorp initially used a portion of the net proceeds to repay outstanding short-term debt and intends to use the remaining net proceeds to fund capital expenditures and for general corporate purposes.
(6) Income Taxes
A reconciliation of the federal statutory income tax rate to the effective income tax rate applicable to income before income tax expense (benefit) is as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | | Three-Month Periods |

Income tax credits relate primarily to production tax credits ("PTC") from PacifiCorp's wind-powered generating facilities. Federal renewable electricity PTCs are earned as energy from qualifying wind-powered generating facilities is produced and sold and are based on a per-kilowatt hour rate pursuant to the applicable federal income tax law. Wind-powered generating facilities are eligible for the credits for 10 years from the date the qualifying generating facilities are placed in-service. PTCs recognized for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, totaled $47 million and $25 million, respectively.
Berkshire Hathaway includes BHE and its subsidiaries in its U.S. federal income tax return. Consistent with established regulatory practice, PacifiCorp's provision for federal and state income tax has been computed on a stand-alone basis, and substantially all of its currently payable or receivable income tax is remitted to or received from BHE. For the three-month period ended March 31, 2025, PacifiCorp made net cash payments for state income taxes to BHE totaling $2 million. For the three-month period ended March 31, 2024, PacifiCorp received net cash payments for federal and state income taxes from BHE totaling $189 million. As of March 31, 2025, federal income taxes receivable from BHE were $22 million and state income taxes payable to BHE were $17 million. As of December 31, 2024, federal income taxes receivable from BHE were $3 million and state income taxes payable to BHE were $11 million.

Employer contributions to the pension and other postretirement benefit plans are expected to be $4 million and $— million, respectively, during 2025. As of March 31, 2025, $1 million of contributions had been made to the pension plans.
(8) Risk Management and Hedging Activities
PacifiCorp is exposed to the impact of market fluctuations in commodity prices and interest rates. PacifiCorp is principally exposed to electricity, natural gas, coal and fuel oil commodity price risk as it has an obligation to serve retail customer load in its service territories. PacifiCorp's load and generating facilities represent substantial underlying commodity positions. Exposures to commodity prices consist mainly of variations in the price of fuel required to generate electricity and wholesale electricity that is purchased and sold. Commodity prices are subject to wide price swings as supply and demand are impacted by, among many other unpredictable items, weather, market liquidity, generating facility availability, customer usage, storage, and transmission and transportation constraints. Interest rate risk exists on variable-rate debt and future debt issuances. PacifiCorp does not engage in a material amount of proprietary trading activities.
PacifiCorp has established a risk management process that is designed to identify, assess, manage and report on each of the various types of risk involved in its business. To mitigate a portion of its commodity price risk, PacifiCorp uses commodity derivative contracts, which may include forwards, futures, options, swaps and other agreements, to effectively secure future supply or sell future production generally at fixed prices. PacifiCorp manages its interest rate risk by limiting its exposure to variable interest rates primarily through the issuance of fixed-rate long-term debt and by monitoring market changes in interest rates. Additionally, PacifiCorp may from time to time enter into interest rate derivative contracts, such as interest rate swaps or locks, to mitigate PacifiCorp's exposure to interest rate risk. No interest rate derivatives were in place during the periods presented. PacifiCorp does not hedge all of its commodity price and interest rate risks, thereby exposing the unhedged portion to changes in market prices. Refer to Note 9 for additional information related to the fair value measurements associated with derivative contracts.
The following table, which reflects master netting arrangements and excludes contracts that have been designated as normal under the normal purchases or normal sales exception afforded by GAAP, summarizes the fair value of PacifiCorp's derivative contracts, on a gross basis, and reconciles those amounts to the amounts presented on a net basis on the Consolidated Balance Sheets (in millions):

Credit Risk
PacifiCorp is exposed to counterparty credit risk associated with wholesale energy supply and marketing activities with other utilities, energy marketing companies, financial institutions and other market participants. Credit risk may be concentrated to the extent PacifiCorp's counterparties have similar economic, industry or other characteristics and due to direct or indirect relationships among the counterparties. Before entering into a transaction, PacifiCorp analyzes the financial condition of each significant wholesale counterparty, establishes limits on the amount of unsecured credit to be extended to each counterparty and evaluates the appropriateness of unsecured credit limits on an ongoing basis. To further mitigate wholesale counterparty credit risk, PacifiCorp enters into netting and collateral arrangements that may include margining and cross-product netting agreements and obtains third‑party guarantees, letters of credit and cash deposits. If required, PacifiCorp exercises rights under these arrangements, including calling on the counterparty's credit support arrangement.
Collateral and Contingent Features
In accordance with industry practice, certain wholesale agreements, including derivative contracts, contain credit support provisions that in part base certain collateral requirements on credit ratings for senior unsecured debt as reported by one or more of the recognized credit rating agencies. These agreements may provide bilateral rights to demand cash or other security if credit exposures on a net basis exceed specified rating-dependent threshold levels ("credit-risk-related contingent features"). These agreements and other agreements that do not refer to specified rating-dependent thresholds may provide the right for counterparties to demand "adequate assurance" if there is a material adverse change in PacifiCorp's creditworthiness. These rights can vary by contract and by counterparty. As of March 31, 2025, PacifiCorp's issuer credit ratings for its senior secured debt and its issuer credit ratings for senior unsecured debt from the recognized credit rating agencies were investment grade.
The aggregate fair value of PacifiCorp's derivative contracts in liability positions with objective credit-risk-related contingent features totaled $97 million and $123 million as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively, for which PacifiCorp had posted collateral of $1 million and $6 million, respectively, in the form of cash deposits. If all credit-risk-related contingent features for derivative contracts in liability positions had been triggered as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, PacifiCorp would have been required to post $83 million and $100 million, respectively, of additional collateral. PacifiCorp's collateral requirements could fluctuate considerably due to market price volatility, changes in credit ratings, changes in legislation or regulation or other factors.
(9) Fair Value Measurements
The carrying value of PacifiCorp's cash, certain cash equivalents, receivables, payables, accrued liabilities and short-term borrowings approximates fair value because of the short-term maturity of these instruments. PacifiCorp has various financial assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on the Consolidated Financial Statements using inputs from the three levels of the fair value hierarchy. A financial asset or liability classification within the hierarchy is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The three levels are as follows:
•Level 1 — Inputs are unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that PacifiCorp has the ability to access at the measurement date.
•Level 2 — Inputs include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability and inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means (market corroborated inputs).
•Level 3 — Unobservable inputs reflect PacifiCorp's judgments about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability since limited market data exists. PacifiCorp develops these inputs based on the best information available, including its own data.
The following table presents PacifiCorp's financial assets and liabilities recognized on the Consolidated Balance Sheets and measured at fair value on a recurring basis (in millions):

Derivative contracts are recorded on the Consolidated Balance Sheets as either assets or liabilities and are stated at estimated fair value unless they are designated as normal purchases or normal sales and qualify for the exception afforded by GAAP. A discounted cash flow valuation method was used to estimate fair value. When available, the fair value of derivative contracts is estimated using unadjusted quoted prices for identical contracts in the market in which PacifiCorp transacts. When quoted prices for identical contracts are not available, PacifiCorp uses forward price curves. Forward price curves represent PacifiCorp's estimates of the prices at which a buyer or seller could contract today for delivery or settlement at future dates. PacifiCorp bases its forward price curves upon market price quotations, when available, or internally developed and commercial models, with internal and external fundamental data inputs. Market price quotations are obtained from independent energy brokers, exchanges, direct communication with market participants and actual transactions executed by PacifiCorp. Market price quotations for certain major electricity and natural gas trading hubs are generally readily obtainable for the first three years; therefore, PacifiCorp's forward price curves for those locations and periods reflect observable market quotes. Market price quotations for other electricity and natural gas trading hubs are not as readily obtainable for the first three years. Given that limited market data exists for these contracts, as well as for those contracts that are not actively traded, PacifiCorp uses forward price curves derived from internal models based on perceived pricing relationships to major trading hubs that are based on unobservable inputs. The estimated fair value of these derivative contracts is a function of underlying forward commodity prices, interest rates, currency rates, related volatility, counterparty creditworthiness and duration of contracts. Refer to Note 8 for further discussion regarding PacifiCorp's risk management and hedging activities.
PacifiCorp's investments in money market mutual funds and investment funds are stated at fair value. When available, PacifiCorp uses a readily observable quoted market price or net asset value of an identical security in an active market to record the fair value. In the absence of a quoted market price or net asset value of an identical security, the fair value is determined using pricing models or net asset values based on observable market inputs and quoted market prices of securities with similar characteristics.
PacifiCorp's long-term debt is carried at cost on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The fair value of PacifiCorp's long-term debt is a Level 2 fair value measurement and has been estimated based upon quoted market prices, where available, or at the present value of future cash flows discounted at rates consistent with comparable maturities with similar credit risks. The carrying value of PacifiCorp's variable-rate long-term debt approximates fair value because of the frequent repricing of these instruments at market rates. The following table presents the carrying value and estimated fair value of PacifiCorp's long-term debt (in millions):

(10) Commitments and Contingencies
Commitments
PacifiCorp has the following firm commitments that are not reflected on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.
Purchased Electricity Contracts - Non-Commercially Operable
During the three-month period ended March 31, 2025, PacifiCorp received the full notice to proceed from a counterparty for four battery storage agreements with minimum obligations totaling approximately $1.0 billion through 2046. The facilities associated with these contracts have not yet achieved commercial operation. To the extent these facilities do not achieve commercial operation, PacifiCorp would no longer have an obligation to the counterparty.
Environmental Laws and Regulations
PacifiCorp is subject to federal, state and local laws and regulations regarding air quality, climate change, emissions performance standards, water quality, coal ash disposal, wildfire prevention and mitigation and other environmental matters that have the potential to impact its current and future operations. PacifiCorp believes it is in material compliance with all applicable laws and regulations.
Lower Klamath Hydroelectric Project
In November 2022, the FERC issued a license surrender order for the Lower Klamath Project, which was accepted by the Klamath River Renewal Corporation ("KRRC") and the states of Oregon and California ("States") in December 2022, along with the transfer of the Lower Klamath Project dams. The KRRC has $450 million in funding available for dam removal and restoration; $200 million collected from PacifiCorp's Oregon and California customers and $250 million in California bond funds. PacifiCorp and the States have also agreed to equally share cost overruns that may occur above the initial $450 million in funding. Specifically, PacifiCorp and the States have agreed to equally fund an initial $45 million supplemental fund and equally share any additional costs above that amount to ensure dam removal and restoration is complete. In May 2024, the KRRC communicated to PacifiCorp and the States that it expects to require the $45 million of supplemental funds. In October 2024, PacifiCorp provided approximately $11 million in supplemental funding to the KRRC. As of October 2024, removal of the Lower Klamath Project dams was complete.
Legal Matters
PacifiCorp is party to a variety of legal actions, including litigation, arising out of the normal course of business, some of which assert claims for damages in substantial amounts and are described below. For certain legal actions, parties at times may seek to impose fines, penalties and other costs.
Pursuant to ASC 450, "Contingencies," a provision for a loss contingency is recorded when it is probable a liability is likely to occur and the amount of loss can be reasonably estimated. PacifiCorp evaluates the related range of reasonably estimated losses and records a loss based on its best estimate within that range or the lower end of the range if there is no better estimate.
Wildfires
A significant number of complaints and demands alleging similar claims related to the Wildfires have been filed in Oregon and California, including a class action complaint in Oregon associated with 2020 Wildfires for which certain jury verdicts were issued as described below. The plaintiffs seek damages for economic losses, noneconomic losses, including mental suffering, emotional distress, personal injury and loss of life, punitive damages, other damages and attorneys' fees. Several insurance carriers have filed subrogation complaints in Oregon and California with allegations similar to those made in the aforementioned complaints. Additionally, PacifiCorp received correspondence from the U.S. and Oregon Departments of Justice regarding the potential recovery of certain costs and damages alleged to have occurred on federal and state lands in connection with certain of the 2020 Wildfires. In December 2024, the United States of America filed a complaint against PacifiCorp in conjunction with the correspondence from the U.S. Department of Justice. The civil cover sheet accompanying the complaint demands damages estimated to exceed $900 million. PacifiCorp is actively cooperating with the U.S. and Oregon Departments of Justice on resolving these alleged claims.
Amounts sought in outstanding complaints and demands filed in Oregon and in certain demands made in California totaled approximately $51 billion, excluding any doubling or trebling of damages or punitive damages included in the complaints. Generally, the complaints filed in California do not specify damages sought and are excluded from this amount. Of the $51 billion, $48 billion represents the economic and noneconomic damages sought in the James mass complaints described below. For class actions, amounts specified by the plaintiffs in the complaints include amounts based on estimates of the potential class size, which ultimately may be significantly greater than estimated. Additionally, damages are not limited to the amounts specified in the initially filed complaints as plaintiffs are frequently allowed to amend their complaints to add additional damages and amounts awarded in a court proceeding may be significantly greater than the damages specified. Oregon law provides for doubling of economic and property damages in the event the defendant is found to have acted with gross negligence, recklessness, willfulness or malice. Oregon law provides for trebling of damages associated with timber, shrubs and produce in the event the defendant is determined to have willfully and intentionally trespassed.
In California, under inverse condemnation, courts have held that investor-owned utilities can be liable for real and personal property damages from wildfires without the utility being found negligent and regardless of fault. California law also permits inverse condemnation plaintiffs to recover reasonable attorney fees and costs. In both Oregon and California, PacifiCorp has equipment in areas accessed through special use permits, easements or similar agreements that may contain provisions requiring it to pay for damages caused by its equipment regardless of fault. Even if inverse condemnation or other provisions do not apply, PacifiCorp could be found liable for all damage.
Based on available information to date, PacifiCorp believes it is probable that losses will be incurred associated with the Wildfires. Final determinations of liability will only be made following the completion of comprehensive investigations, litigation or similar processes, the outcome of which, if adverse, could, in the aggregate, have a material adverse effect on PacifiCorp's financial condition.
Investigations into the cause and origin of each wildfire are complex and ongoing and have been or are being conducted by various entities, including the U.S. Department of Agriculture Forest Service ("USFS"), the California Public Utilities Commission, the Oregon Department of Forestry ("ODF"), the Oregon Department of Justice, PacifiCorp and various experts engaged by PacifiCorp.
2020 Wildfires
In September 2020, a severe weather event with high winds, low humidity and warm temperatures contributed to several major wildfires, which resulted in real and personal property and natural resource damage, personal injuries and loss of life and widespread power outages in Oregon and Northern California. The wildfires spread across certain parts of PacifiCorp's service territory and surrounding areas across multiple counties in Oregon and California, including Siskiyou County, California; Jackson County, Oregon; Douglas County, Oregon; Marion County, Oregon; Lincoln County, Oregon; and Klamath County, Oregon, burning over 500,000 acres in aggregate and include the Santiam Canyon, Beachie Creek, South Obenchain, Echo Mountain Complex, 242, Archie Creek, Slater and other fires. The Slater fire occurred in both Oregon and California. Third-party reports for these wildfires indicate over 2,000 structures destroyed, including residences; several structures damaged; multiple individuals injured; and several fatalities.
In May 2022, the USFS issued its report of investigation into the Archie Creek fire concluding that the probable cause of the fire was power lines owned and operated by PacifiCorp. The report also states that evidence indicates failure of power line infrastructure. The USFS report of investigation into the Slater fire for the investigation period October 5, 2020 to December 8, 2020, concluded that the fire was caused by a downed power line owned and operated by PacifiCorp. The report states that evidence indicates a tree fell onto the power line and that wind blew over the 137-foot tree with internal rot that showed no outward signs of distress and would not have been classified or identified as a hazard tree.
Settlements have been reached with substantially all individual plaintiffs, timber companies and insurance subrogation plaintiffs in both the Archie Creek and Slater fires with government timber and suppression cost claims remaining.
In April 2023, the USFS issued its report of investigation into a wildland fire that began in the Opal Creek wilderness outside of the Santiam Canyon that was first reported on August 16, 2020 ("Beachie Creek Fire"), approximately three weeks prior to the September 2020 wind event described above. In March 2025, PacifiCorp received the ODF's final investigation report on the Santiam Canyon fires ("ODF's Report"), which concluded that embers from the pre-existing Beachie Creek Fire caused 12 fires within the Santiam Canyon. The ODF's Report also found that PacifiCorp's power lines did not contribute to the overall spread of fire into the Santiam Canyon even though its power lines ignited seven spot fires within the Santiam Canyon that were each suppressed.
The Beachie Creek fire that spread into the Santiam Canyon burned approximately 193,000 acres; the South Obenchain fire burned approximately 33,000 acres; the Echo Mountain Complex fire burned approximately 3,000 acres; and the 242 fire burned approximately 14,000 acres. The James cases described below are associated with the Beachie Creek (Santiam Canyon), South Obenchain, Echo Mountain Complex and 242 fires, which are four distinct fires located hundreds of miles apart.
The James Case
On September 30, 2020, a class action complaint against PacifiCorp was filed, captioned Jeanyne James et al. v. PacifiCorp, ("James") in Oregon Circuit Court in Multnomah County, Oregon ("Multnomah County Circuit Court Oregon"). The complaint was filed by Oregon residents and businesses who seek to represent a class of all Oregon citizens and entities whose real or personal property was harmed beginning on September 7, 2020, by wildfires in Oregon allegedly caused by PacifiCorp. In November 2021, the plaintiffs filed an amended complaint to limit the class to include Oregon citizens allegedly impacted by the Santiam Canyon, Echo Mountain Complex, South Obenchain and 242 wildfires, as well as to add claims for noneconomic damages. The amended complaint alleged that PacifiCorp's assets contributed to the Oregon wildfires occurring on or after September 7, 2020, and that PacifiCorp acted with gross negligence, among other things. The amended complaint seeks damages similar to those described above, including not less than $600 million of economic damages and in excess of $1 billion of noneconomic damages for the plaintiffs and the class. Numerous cases were consolidated into the original James complaint.
In April, May, July and September 2024, and January 2025, six separate mass complaints against PacifiCorp naming 1,591 individual class members were filed in Multnomah County Circuit Court Oregon referencing James as the lead case. Complaints for five of the plaintiffs in the mass complaints were subsequently dismissed. These James mass complaints make damages-only allegations seeking economic, noneconomic and punitive damages, as well as doubling of economic damages. In December 2024, two additional complaints were filed in Multnomah County Circuit Court Oregon on behalf of eight plaintiffs also referencing James as the lead case, bringing the total class plaintiffs in the James case to 1,594. PacifiCorp believes the magnitude of damages sought by the class members in the James mass complaints and additional two complaints to be of remote likelihood of being awarded based on the amounts awarded in the jury verdicts described below that are being appealed.
In January, April and June 2024, the Multnomah County Circuit Court Oregon entered limited judgments and money awards for the James jury verdicts issued in June 2023 for the first trial in which the jury found PacifiCorp's conduct grossly negligent, reckless and willful as to each of the 17 named plaintiffs and the entire class, and the first two damages phase trials for which the verdicts were issued in January and March 2024. The limited judgments award aggregate damages of $210 million, including $32 million of doubled economic damages, $147 million of noneconomic damages and $41 million of punitive damages based on a 0.25 multiplier applied to economic and noneconomic damages, partially offset by insurance proceeds received by plaintiffs. For each limited judgment entered in the court, PacifiCorp posted a supersedeas bond, which stays any effort to seek payment of the judgments pending final resolution of any appeals. Under Oregon Revised Statutes 82.010, interest at a rate of 9% per annum will accrue on the judgments commencing at the date the judgments were entered until the entire money award is paid, amended or reversed by an appellate court. In January 2024, PacifiCorp filed a notice of appeal associated with the June 2023 verdict in James, including whether the case can proceed as a class action and filed a motion to stay further damages phase trials. PacifiCorp amended its appeal of the June 2023 James verdict to include both the January and March 2024 jury verdicts. The appeals process and further actions could take several years.
In February 2025, the jury for the third James damages phase trial awarded seven plaintiffs $32 million of noneconomic damages in addition to $4 million of economic damages stipulated for eight plaintiffs prior to the trial. In accordance with Oregon law, plaintiffs asked the court to double the economic damages to $8 million after the verdict. PacifiCorp expects the court will award the doubling of economic damages and also increase the award for $9 million in punitive damages by applying the 0.25 multiplier of economic and noneconomic damages consistent with the June 2023 James verdict. PacifiCorp filed a motion with the Multnomah County Circuit Court Oregon requesting the court offset the damage awards by deducting insurance proceeds received by any of the eight plaintiffs. In April 2025, the Multnomah County Circuit Court entered a limited judgment that awards approximately $45 million, representing damages as discussed above, partially offset by insurance proceeds received by plaintiffs. PacifiCorp intends to appeal the jury's damage awards associated with the February 2025 jury verdict.
In March 2025, the jury for the fourth James damages phase trial awarded seven plaintiffs over $2 million of economic damages and five plaintiffs $34 million of noneconomic damages. PacifiCorp expects the court to award doubling of the economic damages to $5 million and also to increase the award for $9 million in punitive damages by applying the 0.25 multiplier of economic and noneconomic damages consistent with the June 2023 James verdict. As a result, PacifiCorp expects the total award for the seven plaintiffs to be approximately $48 million. PacifiCorp filed a motion with the Multnomah County Circuit Court Oregon requesting the court offset the damage awards by deducting insurance proceeds received by any of the plaintiffs. PacifiCorp intends to appeal the jury's damage awards associated with the March 2025 jury verdict once judgment is entered.
In April 2025, the jury for the fifth James damages phase trial awarded nine plaintiffs $11 million of noneconomic damages, in addition to over $2 million of economic damages that were stipulated prior to the trial. PacifiCorp expects the court to award doubling of the economic damages to $5 million and also to increase the award for $3 million in punitive damages by applying the 0.25 multiplier of economic and noneconomic damages consistent with the June 2023 James verdict. As a result, PacifiCorp expects the total award for the nine plaintiffs to be approximately $19 million. PacifiCorp filed a motion with the Multnomah County Circuit Court Oregon requesting the court offset the damage awards by deducting insurance proceeds received by any of the plaintiffs. PacifiCorp intends to appeal the jury's damage awards associated with the April 2025 jury verdict once judgment is entered.
In October 2024, the Multnomah County Circuit Court Oregon issued a case management order, setting forth nine additional damages phase trials with up to 10 plaintiffs per trial to be held in 2025. The first of these trials were held in February, March and April 2025, while the remaining are scheduled to begin May 12, June 2, July 7, September 9, October 6 and December 7, 2025. The jury verdicts for the first three of the damages phase trials were issued in February, March and April 2025, as described above. A hearing is scheduled for May 9, 2025, to evaluate scheduling additional damages phase trials in 2026. On March 20, 2025, PacifiCorp filed a motion to stay the remaining James damages phase trials in consideration of the ODF's Report. The motion was heard by the court and was denied on April 18, 2025.
On April 1, 2025, PacifiCorp filed its opening brief with the Oregon Court of Appeals in connection with its appeal of the June 2023 James verdict and the January and March 2024 verdicts for the first two James damages phase trials. In the opening brief, PacifiCorp addresses numerous procedural and legal issues, including that the class certification is improper due to the plaintiffs being impacted by distinct fires with independent ignition points that were hundreds of miles apart; awarding of non-economic damages is not allowed under Oregon law; plaintiffs failed to prove that PacifiCorp caused harm to every class member; and jury instructions applied incorrect legal standards in assessing class-wide evidence and individual claims. Additionally, PacifiCorp incorporated the ODF's Report into its opening appellate brief. Various parties who are not party to the James case have filed supportive amicus briefs with the court. Plaintiffs' reply brief and cross-appeal is due May 20, 2025.
2022 McKinney Fire
According to the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection, a wildfire began on July 29, 2022, in the Oak Knoll Ranger District of the Klamath National Forest in Siskiyou County, California located in PacifiCorp's service territory, burning over 60,000 acres. Third-party reports indicate that the 2022 McKinney Fire resulted in 11 structures damaged; 185 structures destroyed, including residences; 12 injuries; and four fatalities. The USFS issued a Wildland Fire Origin and Cause Supplemental Incident Report. The report concluded that a tree coming in contact with a power line is the probable cause of the 2022 McKinney Fire.
Estimated Losses for and Settlements Associated with the Wildfires
Based on the facts and circumstances available to PacifiCorp as of the date of this filing, including (i) ongoing cause and origin investigations; (ii) ongoing settlement and mediation discussions; (iii) other litigation matters and upcoming legal proceedings; and (iv) the status of the James case, PacifiCorp recorded cumulative estimated probable losses associated with the Wildfires of $2,753 million through March 31, 2025. PacifiCorp's cumulative accrual includes estimates of probable losses for fire suppression costs, real and personal property damages, natural resource damages and noneconomic damages such as personal injury damages and loss of life damages that it is reasonably able to estimate at this time and which is subject to change as additional relevant information becomes available.
Through March 31, 2025, PacifiCorp paid $1,331 million in settlements associated with the Wildfires. As a result of the settlements, various trials have been cancelled. In April 2025 and through the date of this filing, PacifiCorp made additional settlement payments related to the Wildfires totaling $2 million.
The following table presents changes in PacifiCorp's liability for estimated losses associated with the Wildfires (in millions):

As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, $134 million and $247 million of PacifiCorp's liability for estimated losses associated with the Wildfires was classified as a current liability captioned Wildfires liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The amounts reflected as current as of March 31, 2025 reflect amounts reasonably expected to be paid out within the next year based on settlements reached as well as ongoing settlement and mediation efforts. The remainder of PacifiCorp's liability for estimated losses associated with the Wildfires as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024 was classified as a noncurrent liability captioned Wildfires liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.
The following table presents changes in PacifiCorp's receivable for expected insurance recoveries associated with the Wildfires (in millions):

As of March 31, 2025, PacifiCorp had received all expected insurance recoveries. As of December 31, 2024, PacifiCorp's receivable for expected insurance recoveries was included in Other receivables, net on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. No additional insurance recoveries beyond those received to date are expected to be available.
It is reasonably possible PacifiCorp will incur material additional losses beyond the amounts accrued for the Wildfires that could have a material adverse effect on PacifiCorp's financial condition. PacifiCorp is currently unable to reasonably estimate a specific range of possible additional losses that could be incurred due to the number of properties and parties involved, including claimants in the class to the James case and the 2022 McKinney Fire, the variation in the types of properties and damages and the ultimate outcome of legal actions, including mediation, settlement negotiations, jury verdicts and the appeals process.
Guarantees
PacifiCorp has entered into guarantees as part of the normal course of business and the sale or transfer of certain assets. These guarantees are not expected to have a material impact on PacifiCorp's consolidated financial results.

Item 2.Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
The following is management's discussion and analysis of certain significant factors that have affected the consolidated financial condition and results of operations of PacifiCorp during the periods included herein. Explanations include management's best estimate of the impact of weather, customer growth, usage trends and other factors. This discussion should be read in conjunction with PacifiCorp's historical unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in Part I, Item 1 of this Form 10‑Q. PacifiCorp's actual results in the future could differ significantly from the historical results.
Results of Operations for the First Quarter of 2025 and 2024
Overview
Net income for the first quarter of 2025 was $177 million, an increase of $56 million, or 46% compared to 2024. The increase in net income was primarily due to higher utility margin and higher income tax benefit, partially offset by lower allowances for equity and borrowed funds used during construction and higher net interest expense, operations and maintenance expense, depreciation expense and property taxes. Utility margin increased primarily due to higher retail revenue from higher prices and volumes, lower purchased electricity volumes and average market prices, higher wholesale revenue volumes and lower natural gas-fueled generation costs, partially offset by lower net power cost deferrals, driven by higher amortization of prior deferrals and lower current year deferrals, higher coal-fueled generation costs and lower wholesale average market prices. Retail customer volumes increased 2.4%, primarily due to the favorable impact of weather and an increase in the average number of customers. Energy generated volumes increased 16% for the first quarter of 2025 compared to 2024 primarily due to higher coal‑fueled and wind-powered generation, partially offset by lower natural gas‑fueled and hydroelectric-fueled generation. Wholesale electricity sales volumes increased 75% and energy purchased volumes decreased 19%.
Non-GAAP Financial Measure
Management utilizes various key financial measures that are prepared in accordance with GAAP, as well as non-GAAP financial measures such as utility margin, to help evaluate results of operations. Utility margin is calculated as operating revenue less cost of fuel and energy, which are captions presented on the Consolidated Statements of Operations.
PacifiCorp's cost of fuel and energy is generally recovered from its retail customers through regulatory recovery mechanisms and as a result, changes in PacifiCorp's expenses included in regulatory recovery mechanisms result in comparable changes to revenue. As such, management believes utility margin more appropriately and concisely explains results of operations rather than a discussion of revenue and cost of fuel and energy separately. Management believes the presentation of utility margin provides meaningful and valuable insight into the information management considers important to understanding the business and a measure of comparability to others in the industry.
Utility margin is not a measure calculated in accordance with GAAP and should be viewed as a supplement to and not a substitute for operating income which is the most comparable financial measure prepared in accordance with GAAP. The following table provides a reconciliation of utility margin to operating income (in millions):

Quarter Ended March 31, 2025 compared to Quarter Ended March 31, 2024
Utility margin increased $134 million for the first quarter of 2025 compared to 2024 primarily due to:
•$202 million increase in retail revenue due to higher average prices and higher volumes. Retail customer volumes increased 2.4%, primarily due to higher Utah and Oregon commercial customer usage, favorable weather-related impacts and increase in the average number of commercial and residential customers across the service territory, mainly in Utah and Oregon, partially offset by decrease in residential customer usage across the service territory, except in Idaho and decrease in industrial customer usage across the service territory;
•$182 million of lower purchased electricity costs from lower volumes and lower average market prices;
•$11 million increase in wholesale revenue due to higher volumes, partially offset by lower average market prices; and
•$10 million of lower natural gas-fueled generation costs from lower prices and volumes.
The increases above were partially offset by:
•$215 million of lower net power costs deferrals in accordance with established adjustment mechanisms; and
•$57 million of higher coal-fueled generation costs from higher volumes and higher average market prices.
Operations and maintenance increased $17 million, or 4%, for the first quarter of 2025 compared to 2024 primarily due to:
•$21 million increase in demand side management amortization driven by higher spend (offset in retail revenue);
•$20 million of higher insurance expense due to higher premiums associated with third-party liability coverage;
•$7 million of higher salary and benefit expenses; and
•$4 million of higher legal expenses.
The increases above were partially offset by:
•$24 million decrease in vegetation management and other wildfire prevention costs primarily from higher current quarter cost deferrals in California and lower amortization of prior deferrals; and
•$12 million due to timing of federal grant reimbursement accruals.
Depreciation and amortization increased $7 million, or 2%, for the first quarter of 2025 compared to 2024 primarily due to higher plant-in-service balances in the current year, partially offset by cessation of accelerated depreciation in Washington and deceleration of depreciation in Oregon as a result of the December 2024 general rate case order.
Property and other taxes increased $7 million, or 13%, for the first quarter of 2025 compared to 2024 primarily due to higher property taxes in Utah and Washington and higher franchise taxes primarily in Oregon.
Interest expense decreased $5 million, or 3%, for the first quarter of 2025 compared to 2024 primarily due to lower net interest on regulatory assets and liabilities.
Allowance for borrowed and equity funds decreased $28 million, or 36%, for the first quarter of 2025 compared to 2024 primarily due to lower qualified construction work-in-progress balances and lower rates.
Interest and dividend income decreased $30 million, or 52%, for the first quarter of 2025 compared to 2024 primarily due to lower current year investment balances and lower interest rates.
Income tax benefit increased $10 million for the first quarter of 2025 compared to 2024 and the effective tax rate was (12)% for 2025 and (8)% for 2024. The $10 million increase is primarily due to higher recognized PTCs from PacifiCorp's wind-powered generating facilities, partially offset by higher income tax expense from higher pre-tax book income.

(1)Refer to "Credit Facilities and Letters of Credit" below for further discussion regarding PacifiCorp's credit facilities.
PacifiCorp's operating results and capital expenditures for certain projects may be affected in future periods by impacts of ongoing macroeconomic and geopolitical events. The pace of changes in these events, including international trade policies and tariffs, has accelerated in 2025. Considerable uncertainty remains as to the ultimate outcome of these events. PacifiCorp is unable to reliably predict the ultimate outcome or the potential impact on its business.
Operating Activities
Net cash flows from operating activities for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2025 and 2024 were $488 million and $683 million, respectively. The decrease is primarily due to lower insurance reimbursements related to wildfire liabilities and higher cash paid for income taxes, interest and wildfire liability settlement payments, partially offset by lower wholesale purchases and higher collections from retail customers.
The timing of PacifiCorp's income tax cash flows from period to period can be significantly affected by the estimated federal income tax payment methods and assumptions made for each payment date.
Investing Activities
Net cash flows from investing activities for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2025 and 2024 were $(683) million and $(768) million, respectively. The change is primarily due to a decrease in capital expenditures of $86 million. Refer to "Future Uses of Cash" for discussion of capital expenditures.
Financing Activities
Net cash flows from financing activities for the three-month period ended March 31, 2025 were $598 million. Sources of cash consisted of net proceeds from the issuance of junior subordinated debt of $842 million. Uses of cash consisted primarily of $240 million for the repayment of short-term debt.
For a discussion of recent financing transactions, refer to Note 5 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in Part I, Item 1 of this Form 10-Q.
Net cash flows from financing activities for the three-month period ended March 31, 2024 were $2.16 billion. Sources of cash consisted of net proceeds from the issuance of long‑term debt of $3.76 billion. Uses of cash consisted primarily of $1.60 billion for the repayment of short-term debt.
Short-term Debt
Regulatory authorities limit PacifiCorp to $3.0 billion of short-term debt. As of March 31, 2025, PacifiCorp had no short‑term debt outstanding. As of December 31, 2024, PacifiCorp had $240 million of short-term debt outstanding at a weighted average rate of 4.65%.
Debt Authorizations
PacifiCorp currently has regulatory authority from the OPUC and the IPUC to issue an additional $4.15 billion of long-term debt. PacifiCorp's authorization from the IPUC is through April 2029. PacifiCorp must make a notice filing with the WUTC prior to any future issuance. PacifiCorp currently has an effective shelf registration statement filed with the SEC to issue an indeterminate amount of first mortgage bonds and unsecured debt securities through July 2027.
Credit Facilities and Letters of Credit
As of March 31, 2025, PacifiCorp had no letters of credit outstanding under its $2.0 billion revolving credit facility and had an additional $14 million of letters of credit outstanding in support of certain transactions required by third parties.
As of March 31, 2025, PacifiCorp had a fully available $900 million 364-day unsecured credit facility expiring June 2025.
Future Uses of Cash
PacifiCorp has available a variety of sources of liquidity and capital resources, both internal and external, including net cash flows from operating activities, public and private debt offerings, the issuance of commercial paper, the use of unsecured revolving credit facilities, bank loans, capital contributions and other sources. These sources are expected to provide funds required for current operations, capital expenditures, debt retirements and other capital requirements. The availability and terms under which PacifiCorp has access to external financing depends on a variety of factors, including PacifiCorp's credit ratings, investors' judgment of risk associated with PacifiCorp and conditions in the overall capital markets, including the condition of the utility industry.
Capital Expenditures
PacifiCorp has significant future capital requirements. Capital expenditure needs are reviewed regularly by management and may change significantly as a result of these reviews, which may consider, among other factors, impacts to customer rates; changes in environmental and other rules and regulations; outcomes of regulatory proceedings, including regulatory filings for Certificates of Public Convenience and Necessity; outcomes of legal actions associated with the Wildfires; changes in income tax laws; general business conditions; new customer requests; load projections; system reliability standards; the cost and efficiency of construction labor, equipment and materials; commodity prices; and the cost and availability of capital.
PacifiCorp's historical and forecast capital expenditures, each of which exclude amounts for non-cash equity AFUDC and other non-cash items, are as follows (in millions):

PacifiCorp's IRP is a roadmap for PacifiCorp's energy transition to renewable and carbon free generation resources, coal-to-natural gas conversion of certain coal-fueled units, renewable generation, associated transmission, load forecast and resource adequacy. PacifiCorp anticipates that the additional new renewable and carbon free generation will be a mixture of owned and contracted resources. PacifiCorp has included estimates for these new renewable and carbon free generation resources, conversion of certain coal-fueled units to natural gas-fueled units and associated transmission assets in its forecast capital expenditures. These estimates are likely to change as a result of the IRP update and RFP process. PacifiCorp's historical and forecast capital expenditures include the following:
•Electric distribution includes both growth projects and operating expenditures. Growth expenditures include spending on new customer connections totaling $83 million and $87 million for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. Planned spending for new customer connections totals $353 million for the remainder of 2025. The remaining investments primarily relate to expenditures for distribution operations.
•Electric transmission includes both growth projects and operating expenditures. Transmission growth primarily reflects costs associated with major transmission projects totaling $49 million and $126 million for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. Planned spending for major transmission projects that are expected to be placed in‑service through 2034 totals $287 million for the remainder of 2025.
•Wildfire prevention includes operating expenditures totaling $170 million and $56 million for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. Planned spending for wildfire prevention totals $460 million for the remainder of 2025.
•Wind generation includes both growth projects and operating expenditures. Growth projects include construction of new wind-powered generating facilities and construction at existing wind-powered generating facility sites acquired from third parties totaling $6 million and $51 million for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. Planned spending for the construction of additional wind‑powered generating facilities and those at acquired sites totals $210 million for the remainder of 2025 and is primarily for the Rock Creek I and Rock Creek II wind‑powered generating facilities totaling approximately 529 MWs that are expected to be placed in‑service in 2025.
•Other includes both growth projects and operating expenditures. Expenditures for information technology totaled $41 million and $54 million for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. Planned information technology spending totals $137 million for the remainder of 2025. The remaining investments relate to operating projects that consist of routine expenditures for generation and other infrastructure needed to serve existing and expected demand.
Energy Supply Planning
As required by certain state regulations, PacifiCorp uses an IRP to develop a long-term resource plan to ensure that PacifiCorp can continue to provide reliable and cost-effective electric service to its customers while maintaining compliance with existing and evolving environmental laws and regulations. PacifiCorp files its IRP biennially with the state commissions in each of the six states where PacifiCorp operates. Five states indicate whether the IRP meets the state commission's IRP standards and guidelines, a process referred to as "acknowledgment" in some states. Acknowledgment by a state commission does not address cost recovery or prudency of resources ultimately selected.
In March 2025, PacifiCorp filed its 2025 IRP in Utah, Oregon, Wyoming, Washington, Idaho and California. The 2025 IRP highlights a need for investment in transmission infrastructure, renewable solar and wind resources, new energy storage, conversion of coal-fueled generating units to natural gas, demand response and energy efficiency programs and carbon capture technology.
Requests for Proposals
PacifiCorp issues individual RFPs to procure resources identified in the IRP or resources driven by customer demands and regulatory policy changes. The IRP and the RFPs provide for the identification and staged procurement of resources to meet load or state-specific compliance obligations. Depending upon the specific RFP, applicable laws and regulations may require PacifiCorp to file draft RFPs with the UPSC, the OPUC and the WUTC. Approval by the UPSC, the OPUC or the WUTC may be required depending on the nature of the RFPs.
In April 2025, PacifiCorp filed an expedited application with the OPUC seeking approval to issue to market an RFP for new generating and energy storage resources that will serve Oregon customers and be recovered via Oregon retail rates. The filing seeks approval of the RFP that will enable it to be issued to the market by June 1, 2025, as directed by an OPUC order.
Material Cash Requirements
As of March 31, 2025, there have been no material changes in cash requirements from the information provided in Item 7 of PacifiCorp's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024, other than those disclosed in Notes 5 and 10 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in Part I, Item 1 of this Form 10-Q.
Regulatory Matters
PacifiCorp is subject to comprehensive regulation. Refer to "Regulatory Matters" in Berkshire Hathaway Energy's Part I, Item 2 of this Form 10-Q for discussion regarding PacifiCorp's current regulatory matters.
Environmental Laws and Regulations
PacifiCorp is subject to federal, state and local laws and regulations regarding air quality, climate change, emissions performance standards, water quality, coal ash disposal and other environmental matters that have the potential to impact PacifiCorp's current and future operations. In addition to imposing continuing compliance obligations, these laws and regulations provide regulators with the authority to levy substantial penalties for noncompliance, including fines, injunctive relief and other sanctions. These laws and regulations are administered by various federal, state and local agencies. PacifiCorp believes it is in material compliance with all applicable laws and regulations, although many are subject to interpretation that may ultimately be resolved by the courts. Environmental laws and regulations continue to evolve, and PacifiCorp is unable to predict the impact of the changing laws and regulations on its operations and financial results.
Refer to "Environmental Laws and Regulations" in Berkshire Hathaway Energy's Part I, Item 2 of this Form 10-Q for additional information regarding environmental laws and regulations.
Critical Accounting Estimates
Certain accounting measurements require management to make estimates and judgments concerning transactions that will be settled several years in the future. Amounts recognized on the Consolidated Financial Statements based on such estimates involve numerous assumptions subject to varying and potentially significant degrees of judgment and uncertainty and will likely change in the future as additional information becomes available. Estimates are used for, but not limited to, the accounting for the effects of certain types of regulation, pension and other postretirement benefits, income taxes and wildfire loss contingencies. For additional discussion of PacifiCorp's critical accounting estimates, see Item 7 of PacifiCorp's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024. There have been no significant changes in PacifiCorp's assumptions regarding critical accounting estimates since December 31, 2024. Refer to Note 10 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in Part I, Item 1 of this Form 10-Q for discussion of loss contingencies related to the Wildfires.

MidAmerican Energy Company
Results of Review of Interim Financial Information
We have reviewed the accompanying balance sheet of MidAmerican Energy Company ("MidAmerican Energy") as of March 31, 2025, the related statements of operations, changes in shareholder's equity, and cash flows for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the "interim financial information"). Based on our reviews, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to the accompanying interim financial information for it to be in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
We have previously audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the balance sheet of MidAmerican Energy as of December 31, 2024, and the related statements of operations, changes in shareholder's equity, and cash flows for the year then ended (not presented herein); and in our report dated February 21, 2025, we expressed an unqualified opinion on those financial statements. In our opinion, the information set forth in the accompanying balance sheet as of December 31, 2024, is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the balance sheet from which it has been derived.
Basis for Review Results
This interim financial information is the responsibility of MidAmerican Energy's management. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to MidAmerican Energy in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our reviews in accordance with standards of the PCAOB. A review of interim financial information consists principally of applying analytical procedures and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB, the objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.

MIDAMERICAN ENERGY COMPANY
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
(1) General
MidAmerican Energy Company ("MidAmerican Energy") is a public utility with electric and natural gas operations and is the principal subsidiary of MHC Inc. ("MHC"). MHC is a holding company that conducts no business other than the ownership of its subsidiaries. MHC's nonregulated subsidiary is Midwest Capital Group, Inc. MHC is the direct wholly owned subsidiary of MidAmerican Funding, LLC ("MidAmerican Funding"), which is an Iowa limited liability company with Berkshire Hathaway Energy Company ("BHE") as its sole member. BHE is a holding company headquartered in Iowa, that has investments in subsidiaries principally engaged in energy businesses. BHE is a wholly owned subsidiary of Berkshire Hathaway Inc. ("Berkshire Hathaway").
The unaudited Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP") for interim financial information and the United States Securities and Exchange Commission's rules and regulations for Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the disclosures required by GAAP for annual financial statements. Management believes the unaudited Financial Statements contain all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for the fair presentation of the unaudited Financial Statements as of March 31, 2025, and for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2025 and 2024. The results of operations for the three-month period ended March 31, 2025, are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.
The preparation of the unaudited Financial Statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the unaudited Financial Statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the period. Actual results may differ from the estimates used in preparing the unaudited Financial Statements. Note 2 of Notes to Financial Statements included in MidAmerican Energy's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024, describes the most significant accounting policies used in the preparation of the unaudited Financial Statements. There have been no significant changes in MidAmerican Energy's accounting policies or its assumptions regarding significant accounting estimates during the three-month period ended March 31, 2025.
(2) New Accounting Pronouncements
In December 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2023-09, Income Taxes Topic 740, "Income Tax—Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures" which requires enhanced disclosures, including specific categories and disaggregation of information in the effective tax rate reconciliation, disaggregated information related to income taxes paid, income or loss from continuing operations before income tax expense or benefit, and income tax expense or benefit from continuing operations. This guidance is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted and should be applied on a prospective basis, however retrospective application is permitted. MidAmerican Energy is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this guidance on its Financial Statements and disclosures included within Notes to Financial Statements.
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU No. 2024-03, Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures Subtopic 220-40, "Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses" which addresses requests from investors for more detailed information about certain expenses and requires disclosure of the amounts of purchases of inventory, employee compensation, depreciation and intangible asset amortization included in each relevant expense caption presented on the income statement. This guidance is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026 and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption is permitted and should be applied on a prospective basis, however retrospective application is permitted. MidAmerican Energy is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this guidance on its Financial Statements and disclosures included within Notes to Financial Statements.
(3) Cash and Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash equivalents consist of funds invested in money market mutual funds, U.S. Treasury Bills and other investments with a maturity of three months or less when purchased. Cash and cash equivalents exclude amounts where availability is restricted by legal requirements, loan agreements or other contractual provisions. Restricted cash and cash equivalents consist substantially of funds restricted for wildlife preservation. A reconciliation of cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash and cash equivalents as presented on the Statements of Cash Flows is outlined below and disaggregated by the line items in which they appear on the Balance Sheets (in millions):
| | | | | | | | | | | |

(4) Property, Plant and Equipment, Net
Property, plant and equipment, net consists of the following (in millions):
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |

Under a revenue sharing arrangement in Iowa, MidAmerican Energy accrues throughout the year a regulatory liability based on the extent to which its anticipated annual equity return exceeds specified thresholds, with an equal amount recorded in depreciation and amortization expense. The annual regulatory liability accrual reduces utility plant upon final determination of the amount. For the three-month periods ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, $61 million and $— million, respectively, is reflected in depreciation and amortization expense on the Statements of Operations.
(5) Income Taxes
The effective income tax rate for the three-month period ended March 31, 2025, of 5,900% resulted from a $236 million income tax benefit from federal income tax credits associated with a $4 million pre-tax loss.
A reconciliation of the federal statutory income tax rate to MidAmerican Energy's effective income tax rate applicable to (loss) income before income tax expense (benefit) is as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | | Three-Month Periods |
| | | Ended March 31, |
| | | | | 2025 | | 2024 |
| | | | | | | |
Federal statutory income tax rate | | | | | 21 | % | | 21 | % |
Income tax credits | | | | | 5,900 | | | (1,158) | |
State income tax, net of federal income tax impacts | | | | | — | | | (11) | |
Effects of ratemaking | | | | | (25) | | | — | |
Other, net | | | | | 4 | | | (5) | |
Effective income tax rate | | | | | 5,900 | % | | (1,153) | % |
Income tax credits relate primarily to production tax credits ("PTC") earned by MidAmerican Energy's wind- and solar-powered generating facilities. Federal renewable electricity PTCs are earned as energy from qualifying wind- and solar-powered generating facilities is produced and sold and are based on a per-kilowatt hour rate pursuant to the applicable federal income tax law. MidAmerican Energy recognizes its renewable electricity PTCs throughout the year based on when the credits are earned and excludes them from the annual effective tax rate that is the basis for the interim recognition of the remaining income tax expense. Wind- and solar-powered generating facilities are eligible for the credits for 10 years from the date the qualifying generating facilities are placed in-service. PTCs recognized for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, totaled $236 million and $220 million, respectively.
Berkshire Hathaway includes BHE and subsidiaries in its U.S. federal and Iowa state income tax returns. Consistent with established regulatory practice, MidAmerican Energy's provision for income tax has been computed on a stand-alone basis, and substantially all of its currently payable or receivable income tax is remitted to or received from BHE. MidAmerican Energy received net cash payments for income tax from BHE totaling $— million and $179 million for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.
(6) Employee Benefit Plans
MidAmerican Energy sponsors a noncontributory defined benefit pension plan covering a majority of all employees of BHE and its domestic energy subsidiaries other than PacifiCorp and NV Energy, Inc. MidAmerican Energy also sponsors certain postretirement healthcare and life insurance benefits covering substantially all retired employees of BHE and its domestic energy subsidiaries other than PacifiCorp and NV Energy, Inc.
Net periodic benefit cost (credit) for the plans of MidAmerican Energy and the aforementioned affiliates included the following components (in millions):
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | | Three-Month Periods |
| | | Ended March 31, |

Amounts other than the service cost for pension and other postretirement benefit plans are recorded in other, net on the Statements of Operations. Employer contributions to the pension and other postretirement benefit plans during 2025 are expected to be $7 million and $1 million, respectively. As of March 31, 2025, $2 million and $— million of contributions had been made to the pension and other postretirement benefit plans, respectively.
(7) Fair Value Measurements
The carrying value of MidAmerican Energy's cash, certain cash equivalents, receivables, payables, accrued liabilities and short-term borrowings approximates fair value because of the short-term maturity of these instruments. MidAmerican Energy has various financial assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on the Financial Statements using inputs from the three levels of the fair value hierarchy. A financial asset or liability classification within the hierarchy is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The three levels are as follows:
•Level 1 — Inputs are unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that MidAmerican Energy has the ability to access at the measurement date.
•Level 2 — Inputs include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability and inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means (market corroborated inputs).
•Level 3 — Unobservable inputs reflect MidAmerican Energy's judgments about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability since limited market data exists. MidAmerican Energy develops these inputs based on the best information available, including its own data.
The following table presents MidAmerican Energy's financial assets and liabilities recognized on the Balance Sheets and measured at fair value on a recurring basis (in millions):
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |

MidAmerican Energy's investments in money market mutual funds and debt and equity securities are stated at fair value, with debt securities accounted for as available-for-sale securities. When available, a readily observable quoted market price or net asset value of an identical security in an active market is used to record the fair value. In the absence of a quoted market price or net asset value of an identical security, the fair value is determined using pricing models or net asset values based on observable market inputs and quoted market prices of securities with similar characteristics.
The following table reconciles the beginning and ending balances of MidAmerican Energy's commodity derivative assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis using significant Level 3 inputs (in millions):

MidAmerican Energy's long-term debt is carried at cost on the Balance Sheets. The fair value of MidAmerican Energy's long-term debt is a Level 2 fair value measurement and has been estimated based upon quoted market prices, where available, or at the present value of future cash flows discounted at rates consistent with comparable maturities with similar credit risks. The carrying value of MidAmerican Energy's variable-rate long-term debt approximates fair value because of the frequent repricing of these instruments at market rates. The following table presents the carrying value and estimated fair value of MidAmerican Energy's long-term debt (in millions):
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |

(10) Segment Information
MidAmerican Energy's chief operating decision maker ("CODM") is its President and Chief Executive Officer. Net income for each reportable segment is considered by the CODM in allocating resources and capital. The CODM generally considers actual results versus historical results, budgets or forecasts, as well as unique risks and opportunities, when making decisions about the allocation of resources and capital to each reportable segment.
MidAmerican Energy has identified two reportable operating segments: regulated electric and regulated natural gas. The regulated electric segment derives most of its revenue from regulated retail sales of electricity to residential, commercial, and industrial customers and from wholesale sales. The regulated natural gas segment derives most of its revenue from regulated retail sales of natural gas to residential, commercial, and industrial customers and also obtains revenue by transporting natural gas owned by others through its distribution system. Pricing for regulated electric and regulated natural gas sales are established separately by regulatory agencies; therefore, management also reviews each segment separately to make decisions regarding allocation of resources and in evaluating performance. Common operating costs are allocated to each segment based on certain factors, which primarily relate to the nature of the cost.
The following tables provide information on a reportable segment basis (in millions):

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Managers and Member of
MidAmerican Funding, LLC
Results of Review of Interim Financial Information
We have reviewed the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of MidAmerican Funding, LLC and subsidiaries ("MidAmerican Funding") as of March 31, 2025, the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in member's equity, and cash flows for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the "interim financial information"). Based on our reviews, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to the accompanying interim financial information for it to be in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
We have previously audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America, the consolidated balance sheet of MidAmerican Funding as of December 31, 2024, and the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in member's equity, and cash flows for the year then ended (not presented herein); and in our report dated February 21, 2025, we expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements. In our opinion, the information set forth in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2024, is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the consolidated balance sheet from which it has been derived.
Basis for Review Results
This interim financial information is the responsibility of MidAmerican Funding's management. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to MidAmerican Funding in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our reviews in accordance with standards of the PCAOB and with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America applicable to reviews of interim financial information. A review of interim financial information consists principally of applying analytical procedures and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB and with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America, the objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.

Management believes the unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements contain all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for the fair presentation of the unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements as of March 31, 2025, and for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2025 and 2024. The results of operations for the three-month period ended March 31, 2025, are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.
The preparation of the unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the period. Actual results may differ from the estimates used in preparing the unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements. Note 2 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in MidAmerican Funding's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024, describes the most significant accounting policies used in the preparation of the unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements. There have been no significant changes in MidAmerican Funding's accounting policies or its assumptions regarding significant accounting estimates during the three-month period ended March 31, 2025.

Effective income tax rate | | | | | 2,950 | % | | (1,467) | % |
Income tax credits relate primarily to production tax credits ("PTC") earned by MidAmerican Energy's wind- and solar-powered generating facilities. Federal renewable electricity PTCs are earned as energy from qualifying wind- and solar-powered generating facilities is produced and sold and are based on a per-kilowatt hour rate pursuant to the applicable federal income tax law. MidAmerican Funding recognizes its renewable electricity PTCs throughout the year based on when the credits are earned and excludes them from the annual effective tax rate that is the basis for the interim recognition of the remaining income tax expense. Wind- and solar-powered generating facilities are eligible for the credits for 10 years from the date the qualifying generating facilities are placed in-service. PTCs recognized for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, totaled $236 million and $220 million, respectively.
Berkshire Hathaway includes BHE and subsidiaries in its U.S. federal and Iowa state income tax returns. Consistent with established regulatory practice, MidAmerican Funding's and MidAmerican Energy's provisions for income tax have been computed on a stand-alone basis, and substantially all of their currently payable or receivable income tax is remitted to or received from BHE. MidAmerican Funding received net cash payments for income tax from BHE totaling $— million and $180 million for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

(10) Segment Information
MidAmerican Funding's chief operating decision maker ("CODM") is its President. Net income for each reportable segment is considered by the CODM in allocating resources and capital. The CODM generally considers actual results versus historical results, budgets or forecasts, as well as unique risks and opportunities, when making decisions about the allocation of resources and capital to each reportable segment.
MidAmerican Funding has identified two reportable operating segments: regulated electric and regulated natural gas. The regulated electric segment derives most of its revenue from regulated retail sales of electricity to residential, commercial, and industrial customers and from wholesale sales. The regulated natural gas segment derives most of its revenue from regulated retail sales of natural gas to residential, commercial, and industrial customers and also obtains revenue by transporting natural gas owned by others through its distribution system. Pricing for regulated electric and regulated natural gas sales are established separately by regulatory agencies; therefore, management also reviews each segment separately to make decisions regarding allocation of resources and in evaluating performance. Common operating costs are allocated to each segment based on certain factors, which primarily relate to the nature of the cost.
The following tables provide information on a reportable segment basis (in millions):

Item 2.Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
The following is management's discussion and analysis of certain significant factors that have affected the consolidated financial condition and results of operations of MidAmerican Funding and its subsidiaries and MidAmerican Energy during the periods included herein. Information in Management's Discussion and Analysis related to MidAmerican Energy, whether or not segregated, also relates to MidAmerican Funding. Information related to other subsidiaries of MidAmerican Funding pertains only to the discussion of the financial condition and results of operations of MidAmerican Funding. Where necessary, discussions have been segregated under the heading "MidAmerican Funding" to allow the reader to identify information applicable only to MidAmerican Funding. Explanations include management's best estimate of the impact of weather, customer growth, usage trends and other factors. This discussion should be read in conjunction with MidAmerican Funding's historical unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements and MidAmerican Energy's historical unaudited Financial Statements and Notes to Financial Statements in Part I, Item 1 of this Form 10-Q. MidAmerican Funding's and MidAmerican Energy's actual results in the future could differ significantly from the historical results.
Results of Operations for the First Quarter of 2025 and 2024
Overview
MidAmerican Energy -
MidAmerican Energy's net income for the first quarter of 2025 was $232 million, a decrease of $6 million, or 3%, compared to 2024, primarily due to higher depreciation and amortization expense, unfavorable changes in the cash surrender value of corporate-owned life insurance policies, higher operations and maintenance expense, lower interest income and higher property and other taxes. These items were partially offset by higher electric utility margin, a favorable income tax benefit, higher AFUDC and lower interest expense. Electric utility margin increased primarily due to higher wholesale margin, higher electric retail customer usage and the favorable impact of weather. Electric retail customer volumes increased 11.3% primarily due to the favorable impact of weather and higher customer usage. Wholesale electricity sales volumes increased 4% due to favorable market conditions. Energy generated increased 8% primarily due to 9% higher renewable-powered generation. Energy purchased volumes increased 1%. Natural gas retail customer volumes increased 18% due to the favorable impact of weather.
MidAmerican Funding -
MidAmerican Funding's net income for the first quarter of 2025 was $228 million, a decrease of $7 million, or 3%, compared to 2024. The variance in net income was primarily due to the changes in MidAmerican Energy's earnings discussed above.
Non-GAAP Financial Measure
Management utilizes various key financial measures that are prepared in accordance with GAAP, as well as non-GAAP financial measures such as electric utility margin and natural gas utility margin, to help evaluate results of operations. Electric utility margin is calculated as regulated electric operating revenue less cost of fuel and energy, which are captions presented on the Statements of Operations. Natural gas utility margin is calculated as regulated natural gas operating revenue less regulated cost of natural gas purchased for resale, which are included in regulated natural gas and other and cost of natural gas purchased for resale and other, respectively, on the Statements of Operations.
MidAmerican Energy's cost of fuel and energy and cost of natural gas purchased for resale are generally recovered from its retail customers through regulatory recovery mechanisms, and as a result, changes in MidAmerican Energy's expenses included in regulatory recovery mechanisms result in comparable changes to revenue. As such, management believes electric utility margin and natural gas utility margin more appropriately and concisely explain results of operations rather than a discussion of revenue and cost of sales separately. Management believes the presentation of electric utility margin and natural gas utility margin provides meaningful and valuable insight into the information management considers important to understanding the business and a measure of comparability to others in the industry.
Electric utility margin and natural gas utility margin are not measures calculated in accordance with GAAP and should be viewed as a supplement to, and not a substitute for, operating income, which is the most comparable financial measure prepared in accordance with GAAP. The following table provides a reconciliation of utility margin to MidAmerican Energy's operating income (in millions):

Quarter Ended March 31, 2025 Compared to Quarter Ended March 31, 2024
MidAmerican Energy -
Electric utility margin increased $81 million, or 18%, for the first quarter of 2025 compared to 2024 primarily due to:
•a $44 million increase in wholesale utility margin due to higher margin per unit of $42 million, reflecting higher market prices, and higher volumes of $2 million or 3.9%; and
•a $37 million increase in retail utility margin primarily due to $20 million from higher customer usage, $9 million due to price impacts from changes in sales mix, $7 million from the favorable impact of weather and $5 million, net of energy costs, from higher recoveries through bill riders (partially offset in operations and maintenance expense and income tax benefit), partially offset by $2 million from lower wind-turbine performance settlements. Retail customer volumes increased 11.3%.
Natural gas utility margin increased $1 million, or 1%, for the first quarter of 2025 compared to 2024 primarily due to:
•a $7 million increase due to the favorable impact of weather; and
•a $1 million increase from higher natural gas transportation margin; partially offset by
•a $7 million decrease from lower base rates.
Operations and maintenance increased $9 million, or 4%, for the first quarter of 2025 compared to 2024 primarily due to higher electric distribution costs of $6 million, higher steam power generation costs of $6 million, higher gas distribution costs of $3 million and higher energy efficiency costs of $3 million, partially offset by lower technology and other costs of $9 million.
Depreciation and amortization increased $80 million, or 35%, for the first quarter of 2025 compared to 2024 primarily due to $61 million from higher Iowa revenue sharing accruals, $11 million from a regulatory mechanism that provides customers the retail energy benefits of certain wind-powered generation projects and $8 million related to additional assets placed in-service.
Property and other taxes increased $2 million, or 5%, for the first quarter of 2025 compared to 2024 due to $2 million from higher replacement and wind turbine property taxes.
Interest expense decreased $3 million, or 3%, for the first quarter of 2025 compared to 2024 due to lower long-term debt balances.
Allowance for borrowed and equity funds increased $3 million, or 14%, for the first quarter of 2025 compared to 2024 primarily due to higher construction work-in-progress balances related to wind- and solar-powered generation projects.
Other, net decreased $20 million, or 80%, for the first quarter of 2025 compared to 2024 primarily due to unfavorable investment earnings, largely attributable to lower cash surrender values of corporate-owned life insurance policies from unfavorable market performance and lower interest income.
Income tax benefit increased $17 million, or 8%, for the first quarter of 2025 compared to 2024 primarily due to $16 million of higher PTCs due to higher wind generation. PTCs for the first quarter of 2025 and 2024 totaled $236 million and $220 million, respectively.

Income tax benefit increased $16 million, or 7%, for the first quarter of 2025 compared to 2024 primarily due to the changes in MidAmerican Energy's income tax benefit discussed above.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of March 31, 2025, the total net liquidity for MidAmerican Energy and MidAmerican Funding was as follows (in millions):
| | | | | | | | |
MidAmerican Energy: | | |
Cash and cash equivalents | | $ | 403 | |
| | |
Credit facilities, maturing 2025 and 2027 | | 1,505 | |
Less: | | |
| | |
Tax-exempt bond support | | (258) | |
Net credit facilities | | 1,247 | |

MidAmerican Energy's operating results and capital expenditures for certain projects may be affected in future periods by impacts of ongoing macroeconomic and geopolitical events. The pace of changes in these events, including international trade policies and tariffs, has accelerated in 2025. Considerable uncertainty remains as to the ultimate outcome of these events. MidAmerican Energy is unable to reliably predict the ultimate outcome or the potential impact on its business.
Operating Activities
MidAmerican Energy's net cash flows from operating activities for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, were $268 million and $268 million, respectively. MidAmerican Funding's net cash flows from operating activities for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, were $259 million and $260 million, respectively. Cash flows from operating activities reflect lower income tax receipts, higher payments related to fuel and energy costs, higher interest payments and higher property tax payments, partially offset by lower payments to vendors and higher collections from electric and natural gas customers.
The timing of MidAmerican Energy's income tax cash flows from period to period can be significantly affected by the estimated federal income tax payment methods selected and assumptions made for each payment date.
Investing Activities
MidAmerican Energy's net cash flows from investing activities for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, were $(401) million and $(425) million, respectively. MidAmerican Funding's net cash flows from investing activities for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, were $(401) million and $(425) million, respectively. Net cash flows from investing activities consist almost entirely of capital expenditures. Refer to "Future Uses of Cash" for further discussion of capital expenditures. Purchases and proceeds related to marketable securities substantially consist of activity within the Quad Cities Generating Station nuclear decommissioning trust and other trust investments.
Financing Activities
MidAmerican Energy's net cash flows from financing activities for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2025 and 2024 were $(14) million and $180 million, respectively. MidAmerican Funding's net cash flows from financing activities for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, were $(7) million and $188 million, respectively. In February 2024, MidAmerican Funding paid $425 million in cash distributions to its sole member, BHE. Proceeds from long-term debt reflect MidAmerican Energy's issuance in January 2024 of $600 million of its 5.30% First Mortgage Bonds due February 2055. In 2025 and 2024, MidAmerican Energy repaid $14 million and $1 million of long-term debt, respectively. In 2025 and 2024, MidAmerican Funding received $7 million and $8 million, respectively, through its note payable with BHE. In 2024, through its credit facilities, MidAmerican Energy received net proceeds from short-term borrowings of $15 million.
Debt Authorizations and Related Matters
Short-term Debt
MidAmerican Energy has authority from the FERC to issue, through April 2, 2026, commercial paper and bank notes aggregating $1.5 billion. MidAmerican Energy has a $1.5 billion unsecured credit facility expiring in June 2027. The credit facility, which supports MidAmerican Energy's commercial paper program and its variable-rate tax-exempt bond obligations and provides for the issuance of letters of credit, has a variable interest rate based on the Secured Overnight Financing Rate, plus a spread that varies based on MidAmerican Energy's credit ratings for senior unsecured long-term debt securities. Additionally, MidAmerican Energy has a $5 million unsecured credit facility for general corporate purposes.
Long-term Debt and Preferred Stock
MidAmerican Energy currently has an effective shelf registration statement with the SEC to issue an additional $1.3 billion of long-term debt securities and preferred stock through March 10, 2026. MidAmerican Energy has authorization from the FERC to issue, through June 30, 2025, long-term debt securities up to an aggregate of $1.05 billion and preferred stock up to an aggregate of $500 million. MidAmerican Energy has authorization from the Illinois Commerce Commission through April 24, 2028, to issue long-term debt securities up to an aggregate of $3.15 billion and preferred stock up to an aggregate of $500 million. In April 2025, MidAmerican Energy filed an application with the FERC requesting $2.5 billion of long-term debt authorization and preferred stock up to an aggregate of $500 million for two years from the date of approval.
Future Uses of Cash
MidAmerican Energy and MidAmerican Funding have available a variety of sources of liquidity and capital resources, both internal and external, including net cash flows from operating activities, public and private debt offerings, the issuance of commercial paper, the use of unsecured revolving credit facilities and other sources. These sources are expected to provide funds required for current operations, capital expenditures, debt retirements and other capital requirements. The availability and terms under which MidAmerican Energy and MidAmerican Funding have access to external financing depends on a variety of factors, including their credit ratings, investors' judgment of risk and conditions in the overall capital markets, including the condition of the utility industry.
Capital Expenditures
MidAmerican Energy has significant future capital requirements. Capital expenditure needs are reviewed regularly by management and may change significantly as a result of these reviews, which may consider, among other factors, impacts to customer rates; changes in environmental and other rules and regulations; outcomes of regulatory proceedings; changes in income tax laws; general business conditions; load projections; system reliability standards; the cost and efficiency of construction labor, equipment and materials; commodity prices; and the cost and availability of capital.
MidAmerican Energy's historical and forecast capital expenditures, each of which exclude amounts for non-cash equity AFUDC and other non-cash items, are as follows (in millions):
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| Three-Month Periods | | Annual |
| Ended March 31, | | Forecast |
| 2024 | | 2025 | | 2025 |
| | | | | |
Wind generation | $ | 65 | | | $ | 77 | | | $ | 783 | |
Electric distribution | 74 | | | 81 | | | 304 | |
Electric transmission | 54 | | | 51 | | | 239 | |
Solar generation | — | | | — | | | 14 | |
Other | 235 | | | 196 | | | 570 | |
Total | $ | 428 | | | $ | 405 | | | $ | 1,910 | |
MidAmerican Energy's capital expenditures provided above consist of the following:
•Wind generation includes the construction, acquisition, repowering and operation of wind-powered generating facilities in Iowa.
◦Construction of wind-powered generating facilities totaling $54 million and $31 million for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. Planned spending for the construction of additional wind-powered generating facilities totals $218 million for the remainder of 2025.
◦Repowering of wind-powered generating facilities totaling $14 million and $21 million for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. Planned spending for the repowering of wind-powered generating facilities totals $430 million for the remainder of 2025. MidAmerican Energy expects its repowered facilities to meet Internal Revenue Service guidelines for the re-establishment of PTCs under the prevailing wage and apprenticeship guidelines for 10 years from the date the facilities are placed in-service.
•Electric distribution includes expenditures for new facilities to meet retail demand growth and for replacement of existing facilities to maintain system reliability.
•Electric transmission includes expenditures to meet retail demand growth, upgrades to accommodate third-party generator requirements and replacement of existing facilities to maintain system reliability.
•Solar generation includes the construction and operation of solar-powered generating facilities. Planned spending totals $14 million for the remainder of 2025.
•Remaining expenditures primarily relate to routine projects for other generation, natural gas distribution, technology, facilities and other operational needs to serve existing and expected demand.
Material Cash Requirements
As of March 31, 2025, there have been no material changes in MidAmerican Energy's and MidAmerican Funding's cash requirements from the information provided in Item 7 of their Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024, other than those disclosed in Note 8 of the Notes to Financial Statements in Part I, Item 1 of this Form 10-Q.
Regulatory Matters
MidAmerican Energy is subject to comprehensive regulation. Refer to "Regulatory Matters" in Berkshire Hathaway Energy's Part I, Item 2 of this Form 10-Q for discussion regarding MidAmerican Energy's current regulatory matters.
Environmental Laws and Regulations
MidAmerican Energy is subject to federal, state and local laws and regulations regarding air quality, climate change, emissions performance standards, water quality, coal ash disposal and other environmental matters that have the potential to impact MidAmerican Energy's current and future operations. In addition to imposing continuing compliance obligations, these laws and regulations provide regulators with the authority to levy substantial penalties for noncompliance including fines, injunctive relief and other sanctions. These laws and regulations are administered by various federal, state and local agencies. MidAmerican Energy believes it is in material compliance with all applicable laws and regulations, although many are subject to interpretation that may ultimately be resolved by the courts. Environmental laws and regulations continue to evolve, and MidAmerican Energy is unable to predict the impact of the changing laws and regulations on its operations and financial results.
Refer to "Environmental Laws and Regulations" in Berkshire Hathaway Energy's Part I, Item 2 of this Form 10-Q for additional information regarding environmental laws and regulations.
Critical Accounting Estimates
Certain accounting measurements require management to make estimates and judgments concerning transactions that will be settled several years in the future. Amounts recognized on the Financial Statements based on such estimates involve numerous assumptions subject to varying and potentially significant degrees of judgment and uncertainty and will likely change in the future as additional information becomes available. Estimates are used for, but not limited to, the accounting for the effects of certain types of regulation, impairment of goodwill, pension and other postretirement benefits and income taxes. For additional discussion of MidAmerican Energy's and MidAmerican Funding's critical accounting estimates, see Item 7 of their Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024. There have been no significant changes in MidAmerican Energy's and MidAmerican Funding's assumptions regarding critical accounting estimates since December 31, 2024.

Item 1.Financial Statements
REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors and Shareholder of
Nevada Power Company
Results of Review of Interim Financial Information
We have reviewed the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Nevada Power Company and subsidiaries ("Nevada Power") as of March 31, 2025, the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in shareholder's equity, and cash flows for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the "interim financial information"). Based on our reviews, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to the accompanying interim financial information for it to be in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
We have previously audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the consolidated balance sheet of Nevada Power as of December 31, 2024, and the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in shareholder's equity, and cash flows for the year then ended (not presented herein); and in our report dated February 21, 2025, we expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements. In our opinion, the information set forth in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2024, is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the consolidated balance sheet from which it has been derived.
Basis for Review Results
This interim financial information is the responsibility of Nevada Power's management. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to Nevada Power in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our reviews in accordance with standards of the PCAOB. A review of interim financial information consists principally of applying analytical procedures and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB, the objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.

NEVADA POWER COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
(1) General
Nevada Power Company, together with its subsidiaries ("Nevada Power"), is a wholly owned subsidiary of NV Energy, Inc. ("NV Energy"), a holding company that also owns Sierra Pacific Power Company and its subsidiaries ("Sierra Pacific") and certain other subsidiaries. Nevada Power is a U.S. regulated electric utility company serving retail customers, including residential, commercial and industrial customers, primarily in the Las Vegas, North Las Vegas, Henderson and adjoining areas. NV Energy is an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Berkshire Hathaway Energy Company ("BHE"). BHE is a holding company headquartered in Iowa that has investments in subsidiaries principally engaged in energy businesses. BHE is a wholly owned subsidiary of Berkshire Hathaway Inc. ("Berkshire Hathaway").
The unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP") for interim financial information and the United States Securities and Exchange Commission's rules and regulations for Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the disclosures required by GAAP for annual financial statements. Management believes the unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements contain all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for the fair presentation of the unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements as of March 31, 2025, and for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2025 and 2024. The Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income have been omitted as net income equals comprehensive income for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2025 and 2024. The results of operations for the three-month period ended March 31, 2025, are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.
The preparation of the unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the period. Actual results may differ from the estimates used in preparing the unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements. Note 2 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in Nevada Power's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024, describes the most significant accounting policies used in the preparation of the unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements. There have been no significant changes in Nevada Power's accounting policies or its assumptions regarding significant accounting estimates during the three-month period ended March 31, 2025.
Segment Information
Nevada Power currently has one reportable segment, its regulated electric utility operations, which derives its revenue from regulated retail sales of electricity to residential, commercial, and industrial customers and from wholesale sales. Nevada Power's chief operating decision maker ("CODM") is its President and Chief Executive Officer. The CODM uses net income, as reported on the Consolidated Statements of Operations, and generally considers actual results versus historical results, budgets or forecasts, and state regulatory ratemaking results as well as unique risks and opportunities, when making decisions about the allocation of resources and capital. The significant segment expenses regularly provided to the CODM align with the captions presented on the Consolidated Statements of Operations. Nevada Power's segment capital expenditures are reported on the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows as capital expenditures. Nevada Power's segment assets are reported on the Consolidated Balance Sheets as total assets.
(2) New Accounting Pronouncements
In December 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2023-09, Income Taxes Topic 740, "Income Tax—Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures" which requires enhanced disclosures, including specific categories and disaggregation of information in the effective tax rate reconciliation, disaggregated information related to income taxes paid, income or loss from continuing operations before income tax expense or benefit, and income tax expense or benefit from continuing operations. This guidance is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted and should be applied on a prospective basis, however retrospective application is permitted. Nevada Power is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this guidance on its Consolidated Financial Statements and disclosures included within Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU No. 2024-03, Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures Subtopic 220-40, "Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses" which addresses requests from investors for more detailed information about certain expenses and requires disclosure of the amounts of purchases of inventory, employee compensation, depreciation and intangible asset amortization included in each relevant expense caption presented on the income statement. This guidance is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026 and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption is permitted and should be applied on a prospective basis, however retrospective application is permitted. Nevada Power is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this guidance on its Consolidated Financial Statements and disclosures included within Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.
(3) Cash and Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash equivalents consist of funds invested in money market mutual funds, U.S. Treasury Bills and other investments with a maturity of three months or less when purchased. Cash and cash equivalents exclude amounts where availability is restricted by legal requirements, loan agreements or other contractual provisions. Restricted cash and cash equivalents consist of funds restricted by the Public Utilities Commission of Nevada ("PUCN") for a certain renewable energy contract. A reconciliation of cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash and cash equivalents as presented on the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows is outlined below and disaggregated by the line items in which they appear on the Consolidated Balance Sheets (in millions):

(5) Recent Financing Transactions
Junior Subordinated Debt
In February 2025, Nevada Power issued $300 million of its 6.25% Fixed-to-Fixed Reset Rate Junior Subordinated Notes due May 2055. Nevada Power will pay interest on the notes at a rate of 6.25% through May 2030, subject to a reset every five years. Nevada Power intends to use the net proceeds from the sale of the notes to fund capital expenditures and for general corporate purposes.
(6) Income Taxes
A reconciliation of the federal statutory income tax rate to the effective income tax rate applicable to (loss) income before income tax expense (benefit) is as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| Three-Month Periods | | |
| Ended March 31, | | |
| 2025 | | 2024 | | | | |
| | | | | | | |
Federal statutory income tax rate | 21 | % | | 21 | % | | | | |

Income tax credits | 4 | | | (8) | | | | | |
| | | | | | | |
Other | 1 | | | 5 | | | | | |
Effective income tax rate | 11 | % | | 17 | % | | | | |
(1)Effects of ratemaking is primarily attributable to activity associated with excess deferred income taxes.
Income tax credits relate to production tax credits ("PTCs") and investment tax credits ("ITCs") from Nevada Power's solar-powered generating facilities and energy storage properties. Federal renewable electricity PTCs are earned as energy from qualifying solar-powered generating facilities is produced and sold and are based on a per-kilowatt hour rate pursuant to the applicable federal income tax law. Solar-powered generating facilities are eligible for the credits for 10 years from the date the qualifying generating facilities are placed in-service. Federal renewable electricity ITCs are tax credits that reduce the income tax liability by a percentage of the cost from certain qualifying solar-powered generating facilities or energy storage properties over their useful lives. The percentage of the credit varies depending on attributes of the project up to a maximum of 50 percent.
Berkshire Hathaway includes BHE and its subsidiaries in its U.S. federal income tax return. Consistent with established regulatory practice, Nevada Power's provision for federal income tax has been computed on a stand-alone basis, and substantially all of its currently payable or receivable income tax is remitted to or received from BHE. Nevada Power made cash payments for federal income tax to BHE of $— million and $33 million for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2025 and 2024
(7) Employee Benefit Plans
Nevada Power is a participant in benefit plans sponsored by NV Energy. The NV Energy Retirement Plan includes a qualified pension plan ("Qualified Pension Plan") and a supplemental executive retirement plan and a restoration plan (collectively, "Non‑Qualified Pension Plans") that provide pension benefits for eligible employees. The NV Energy Comprehensive Welfare Benefit and Cafeteria Plan provides certain postretirement health care and life insurance benefits for eligible retirees ("Other Postretirement Plans") on behalf of Nevada Power. Amounts attributable to Nevada Power were allocated from NV Energy based upon the current, or in the case of retirees, previous, employment location. Offsetting regulatory assets and liabilities have been recorded related to the amounts not yet recognized as a component of net periodic benefit costs that will be included in regulated rates. Net periodic benefit costs not included in regulated rates are included in accumulated other comprehensive loss, net.

(8) Risk Management and Hedging Activities
Nevada Power is exposed to the impact of market fluctuations in commodity prices and interest rates. Nevada Power is principally exposed to electricity and natural gas market fluctuations primarily through Nevada Power's obligation to serve retail customer load in its regulated service territory. Nevada Power's load and generating facilities represent substantial underlying commodity positions. Exposures to commodity prices consist mainly of variations in the price of fuel required to generate electricity and wholesale electricity that is purchased and sold. Commodity prices are subject to wide price swings as supply and demand are impacted by, among many other unpredictable items, weather, market liquidity, generating facility availability, customer usage, storage, and transmission and transportation constraints. The actual cost of fuel and purchased power is recoverable through the deferred energy mechanism. Interest rate risk exists on variable-rate debt and future debt issuances. Nevada Power does not engage in proprietary trading activities.
Nevada Power has established a risk management process that is designed to identify, assess, manage and report on each of the various types of risk involved in its business. To mitigate a portion of its commodity price risk, Nevada Power uses commodity derivative contracts, which may include forwards, futures, options, swaps and other agreements, to effectively secure future supply or sell future production generally at fixed prices. Nevada Power manages its interest rate risk by limiting its exposure to variable interest rates primarily through the issuance of fixed-rate long-term debt and by monitoring market changes in interest rates. Additionally, Nevada Power may from time to time enter into interest rate derivative contracts, such as interest rate swaps or locks, to mitigate Nevada Power's exposure to interest rate risk. Nevada Power does not hedge all of its commodity price and interest rate risks, thereby exposing the unhedged portion to changes in market prices. There have been no significant changes in Nevada Power's accounting policies related to derivatives. Refer to Note 9 for additional information related to the fair value measurements associated with derivative contracts.
The following table, which excludes contracts that have been designated as normal under the normal purchases and normal sales exception afforded by GAAP, summarizes the fair value of Nevada Power's derivative contracts, on a gross basis, and reconciles those amounts presented on a net basis on the Consolidated Balance Sheets (in millions):

| | | | | |
Credit Risk
Nevada Power is exposed to counterparty credit risk associated with wholesale energy supply and marketing activities with other utilities, energy marketing companies, financial institutions and other market participants. Credit risk may be concentrated to the extent Nevada Power's counterparties have similar economic, industry or other characteristics and due to direct and indirect relationships among the counterparties. Before entering into a transaction, Nevada Power analyzes the financial condition of each significant wholesale counterparty, establishes limits on the amount of unsecured credit to be extended to each counterparty and evaluates the appropriateness of unsecured credit limits on an ongoing basis. To further mitigate wholesale counterparty credit risk, Nevada Power enters into netting and collateral arrangements that may include margining and cross-product netting agreements and obtain third-party guarantees, letters of credit and cash deposits. If required, Nevada Power exercises rights under these arrangements, including calling on the counterparty's credit support arrangement.
Collateral and Contingent Features
In accordance with industry practice, certain wholesale agreements, including derivative contracts, contain credit support provisions that in part base certain collateral requirements on credit ratings for senior unsecured debt as reported by one or more of the recognized credit rating agencies. These agreements may either specifically provide bilateral rights to demand cash or other security if credit exposures on a net basis exceed specified rating-dependent threshold levels ("credit-risk-related contingent features") or provide the right for counterparties to demand "adequate assurance" if there is a material adverse change in Nevada Power's creditworthiness. These rights can vary by contract and by counterparty. As of March 31, 2025, Nevada Power's credit ratings for its senior secured debt and its issuer credit ratings for senior unsecured debt from the recognized credit rating agencies were investment grade.
The aggregate fair value of Nevada Power's derivative contracts in liability positions with specific credit-risk-related contingent features totaled $9 million and $13 million as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively, which represents the amount of collateral to be posted if all credit risk related contingent features for derivative contracts in liability positions had been triggered. Nevada Power's collateral requirements could fluctuate considerably due to market price volatility, changes in credit ratings, changes in legislation or regulation or other factors.
(9) Fair Value Measurements
The carrying value of Nevada Power's cash, certain cash equivalents, receivables, payables, accrued liabilities and short-term borrowings approximates fair value because of the short-term maturity of these instruments. Nevada Power has various financial assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on the Consolidated Financial Statements using inputs from the three levels of the fair value hierarchy. A financial asset or liability classification within the hierarchy is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The three levels are as follows:
•Level 1 — Inputs are unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that Nevada Power has the ability to access at the measurement date.
•Level 2 — Inputs include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability and inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means (market corroborated inputs).
•Level 3 — Unobservable inputs reflect Nevada Power's judgments about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability since limited market data exists. Nevada Power develops these inputs based on the best information available, including its own data.
The following table presents Nevada Power's financial assets and liabilities recognized on the Consolidated Balance Sheets and measured at fair value on a recurring basis (in millions):

Derivative contracts are recorded on the Consolidated Balance Sheets as either assets or liabilities and are stated at estimated fair value unless they are designated as normal purchases or normal sales and qualify for the exception afforded by GAAP. When available, the fair value of derivative contracts is estimated using unadjusted quoted prices for identical contracts in the market in which Nevada Power transacts. When quoted prices for identical contracts are not available, Nevada Power uses forward price curves. Forward price curves represent Nevada Power's estimates of the prices at which a buyer or seller could contract today for delivery or settlement at future dates. Nevada Power bases its forward price curves upon internally developed models, with internal and external fundamental data inputs. Market price quotations for certain electricity and natural gas trading hubs are not as readily obtainable due to markets that are not active. Given that limited market data exists for these contracts, Nevada Power uses forward price curves derived from internal models based on perceived pricing relationships to major trading hubs that are based on unobservable inputs. The model incorporates a mid-market pricing convention (the mid‑point price between bid and ask prices) as a practical expedient for valuing its assets and liabilities measured and reported at fair value. The determination of the fair value for derivative contracts not only includes counterparty risk, but also the impact of Nevada Power's nonperformance risk on its liabilities, which as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, had an immaterial impact to the fair value of its derivative contracts. As such, Nevada Power considers its derivative contracts to be valued using Level 3 inputs.
Nevada Power's investments in money market mutual funds and investment funds are stated at fair value. When available, a readily observable quoted market price or net asset value of an identical security in an active market is used to record the fair value.

Nevada Power's senior debt and junior subordinated debt is carried at cost on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The fair value of Nevada Power's debts is a Level 2 fair value measurement and has been estimated based upon quoted market prices, where available, or at the present value of future cash flows discounted at rates consistent with comparable maturities with similar credit risks. The carrying value of Nevada Power's variable-rate debts approximates fair value because of the frequent repricing of these instruments at market rates.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
The following is management's discussion and analysis of certain significant factors that have affected the consolidated financial condition and results of operations of Nevada Power during the periods included herein. Explanations include management's best estimate of the impact of weather, customer growth, usage trends and other factors. This discussion should be read in conjunction with Nevada Power's historical unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in Part I, Item 1 of this Form 10-Q. Nevada Power's actual results in the future could differ significantly from the historical results.
Results of Operations for the First Quarter of 2025 and 2024
Overview
Net loss for the first quarter of 2025 was $8 million, a decrease of $23 million compared to 2024 primarily due to higher operations and maintenance expense, lower interest and dividend income, increased depreciation and amortization expense, lower capitalized interest and allowance for equity funds and lower electric utility margin. These items were partially offset by a favorable income tax benefit. Utility margin decreased primarily due to lower energy efficiency implementation revenue, lower transmission and wholesale revenue and price impacts from changes in sales mix, partially offset by higher power purchase agreement sales from the Dry Lake renewable generation facility. Retail customer volumes, including distribution only service customers, increased 0.6% primarily due to an increase in the average number of customers, offset by the unfavorable impact of weather and lower customer usage. Energy generated volumes decreased 3% for the first quarter of 2025 compared to 2024 primarily due to lower natural-gas fueled generation. Wholesale electricity sales volumes decreased 4% and energy purchased volumes increased 42%.
Non-GAAP Financial Measure
Management utilizes various key financial measures that are prepared in accordance with GAAP, as well as non-GAAP financial measures such as, utility margin, to help evaluate results of operations. Utility margin is calculated as electric operating revenue less cost of fuel and energy, which are captions presented on the Consolidated Statements of Operations.
Nevada Power's cost of fuel and energy is generally recovered from its retail customers through regulatory recovery mechanisms and as a result, changes in Nevada Power's expenses included in regulatory recovery mechanisms result in comparable changes to revenue. As such, management believes utility margin more appropriately and concisely explains results of operations rather than a discussion of revenue and cost of fuel and energy separately. Management believes the presentation of utility margin provides meaningful and valuable insight into the information management considers important to understanding the business and a measure of comparability to others in the industry.
Utility margin is not a measure calculated in accordance with GAAP and should be viewed as a supplement to, and not a substitute for, operating income which is the most directly comparable financial measure prepared in accordance with GAAP. The following table provides a reconciliation of utility margin to operating income (in millions):

Quarter Ended March 31, 2025 Compared to Quarter Ended March 31, 2024
Utility margin decreased $2 million, or 1%, for the first quarter of 2025 compared to 2024 primarily due to:
•$4 million of lower energy efficiency implementation revenue,
•$2 million of lower transmission and wholesale revenue and
•$1 million of lower electric retail utility margin primarily due to price impacts from changes in sales mix. Retail customer volumes, including distribution only service customers, increased 0.6% primarily due to an increase in the average number of customers, offset by unfavorable changes in weather and customer usage patterns.
The decrease in utility margin was partially offset by:
•$4 million of higher power purchase agreement sales from the Dry Lake renewable generation facility and
•$2 million of higher energy efficiency program revenue (offset in operations and maintenance expense).
Operations and maintenance increased $7 million, or 10%, for the first quarter of 2025 compared to 2024 primarily due to higher plant operations and maintenance costs, higher energy efficiency program costs (offset in operating revenue), higher technology costs and higher insurance premiums due to additional wildfire and general excess liability coverage, partially offset by lower administrative and general costs.
Depreciation and amortization increased $6 million, or 7%, for the first quarter of 2025 compared to 2024 primarily due to higher plant placed in-service, partially offset by lower amortizations due to a portion of intangible plant being fully amortized prior to the current quarter.
Interest expense increased $2 million, or 4%, for the first quarter of 2025 compared to 2024 primarily due to higher long-term debt outstanding.
Capitalized interest and allowance for equity funds decreased $4 million, or 25%, for the first quarter of 2025 compared to 2024 primarily due to lower construction work-in-progress.
Interest and dividend income decreased $6 million, or 67%, for the first quarter of 2025 compared to 2024 primarily due to lower interest income, mainly from lower carrying charges on regulatory balances.
Other, net was unfavorable by $1 million, or 25%, for the first quarter of 2025 compared to 2024 primarily due to higher pension expense.
Income tax expense decreased $4 million for the first quarter of 2025 compared to 2024 primarily due to lower pretax income. The effective tax rate was 11% in 2025 and 17% in 2024 and decreased primarily due to the effects of ratemaking and higher tax credits.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of March 31, 2025, Nevada Power's total net liquidity was as follows (in millions):
| | | | | | | | |
Cash and cash equivalents | | $ | 16 | |
| | |
Credit facility | | 600 | |
| | |
| | |
| | |

Total net liquidity | | $ | 616 | |
Credit facility: | | |
Maturity date | | 2027 |
Nevada Power's operating results and capital expenditures for certain projects may be affected in future periods by impacts of ongoing macroeconomic and geopolitical events. The pace of changes in these events, including international trade policies and tariffs, has accelerated in 2025. Considerable uncertainty remains as to the ultimate outcome of these events. Nevada Power is unable to reliably predict the ultimate outcome or the potential impact on its business.
Operating Activities
Net cash flows from operating activities for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, were $170 million and $296 million, respectively. The change was primarily due to lower collections from customers, decreased customer deposits and higher payments related to fuel and energy costs, partially offset by the timing of payments for operating costs and lower income tax payments.
The timing of Nevada Power's income tax cash flows from period to period can be significantly affected by the estimated federal income tax payment methods and assumptions made for each payment date.
Investing Activities
Net cash flows from investing activities for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, were $(283) million and $(346) million, respectively. The change was primarily due to decreased capital expenditures. Refer to "Future Uses of Cash" for further discussion of capital expenditures.
Financing Activities
Net cash flows from financing activities for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, were $106 million and $95 million, respectively. The change was primarily due to higher net proceeds from the issuance of junior subordinated debt, partially offset by higher dividends paid to NV Energy, Inc. and lower contributions from NV Energy, Inc.
For a discussion of recent financing transactions, refer to Note 5 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in Part I, Item 1 of this From 10-Q.
Debt Authorizations
Nevada Power currently has financing authority from the PUCN consisting of the ability to: (1) establish debt issuances limited to a debt ceiling of $5.5 billion (excluding borrowings under Nevada Power's $600 million secured credit facility); and (2) maintain a revolving credit facility of up to $1.3 billion. Nevada Power currently has an effective shelf registration statement with the SEC to issue an additional $1.8 billion of general and refunding mortgage securities through December 19, 2027.
Future Uses of Cash
Nevada Power has available a variety of sources of liquidity and capital resources, both internal and external, including net cash flows from operating activities, public and private debt offerings, the use of its secured revolving credit facility, capital contributions and other sources. These sources are expected to provide funds required for current operations, capital expenditures, debt retirements and other capital requirements. The availability and terms under which Nevada Power has access to external financing depends on a variety of factors, including regulatory approvals, Nevada Power's credit ratings, investors' judgment of risk and conditions in the overall capital markets, including the condition of the utility industry.
Capital Expenditures
Capital expenditure needs are reviewed regularly by management and may change significantly as a result of these reviews, which may consider, among other factors, changes in environmental and other rules and regulations; impacts to customer rates; outcomes of regulatory proceedings; changes in income tax laws; general business conditions; load projections; system reliability standards; the cost and efficiency of construction labor, equipment and materials; commodity prices; and the cost and availability of capital. Prudently incurred expenditures for compliance-related items such as pollution control technologies, replacement generation and associated operating costs are generally incorporated into Nevada Power's regulated retail rates. Expenditures for certain assets may ultimately include acquisition of existing assets.
Nevada Power's historical and forecast capital expenditures, each of which exclude amounts for non-cash equity AFUDC and other non-cash items are as follows (in millions):
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| Three-Month Periods | | Annual |
| Ended March 31, | | Forecast |
| 2024 | | 2025 | | 2025 |
| | | | | |
Electric transmission | $ | 24 | | | $ | 83 | | | $ | 437 | |
Electric distribution | 80 | | | 82 | | | 371 | |
Electric battery storage | 1 | | | 2 | | | 46 | |
Wildfire prevention | 6 | | | 2 | | | 32 | |
Solar generation | 5 | | | 2 | | | 29 | |
Other | 230 | | | 112 | | | 169 | |
Total | $ | 346 | | | $ | 283 | | | $ | 1,084 | |
Nevada Power receives PUCN approval through its IRP filings for various projects. Nevada Power has included estimates from these IRP filings in its forecast capital expenditures for 2025. These estimates can change as a result of the RFP process, continued evaluation and future IRP filing refinements. Nevada Power's capital expenditures include the following:
•Electric transmission includes both growth projects and operating expenditures. Growth projects primarily relate to the Nevada Utilities' Greenlink Nevada transmission expansion program. Operating expenditures consist of routine expenditures for transmission and other infrastructure needed to serve existing and expected demand.
•Electric distribution includes both growth projects and operating expenditures consisting of routine expenditures for distribution needed to serve existing and expected demand.
•Solar generation and electric battery storage primarily consist of a 150-MW solar photovoltaic facility with an additional 100 MWs of co-located battery storage that was developed in Clark County, Nevada which commenced commercial operation in May 2024 and a 400-MW solar photovoltaic facility with an additional 400 MWs of co-located battery storage that is being developed in Churchill County, Nevada with ownership share approved by the PUCN of 10% Nevada Power and 90% Sierra Pacific. Commercial operation of the solar facility is expected by early 2027 and commercial operation of the co-located battery storage is expected by mid-2026.
•Wildfire prevention includes both growth and operating capital that include expenditures contained in a comprehensive natural disaster protection plan filed and approved by the PUCN. These projects include, but are not limited to, rebuilding distribution lines with covered conductor, converting overhead distribution lines to underground and copper wire and pole replacement projects.
•Other includes both growth projects and operating expenditures. Growth projects primarily consist of additional completion costs for the peaking combustion turbines developed at the Silverhawk generating facility in Clark County, Nevada. Operating expenditures consist of turbine upgrades at several generating facilities, information technology expenditures, routine expenditures for generation, other operating projects and other infrastructure needed to serve existing and expected demand.
Material Cash Requirements
As of March 31, 2025, there have been no material changes in cash requirements from the information provided in Item 7 of Nevada Power's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024.
Regulatory Matters
Nevada Power is subject to comprehensive regulation. Refer to "Regulatory Matters" in Berkshire Hathaway Energy's Part I, Item 2 of this Form 10-Q for discussion regarding Nevada Power's current regulatory matters.
Environmental Laws and Regulations
Nevada Power is subject to federal, state and local laws and regulations regarding air quality, climate change, emissions performance standards, water quality, coal ash disposal and other environmental matters that have the potential to impact Nevada Power's current and future operations. In addition to imposing continuing compliance obligations, these laws and regulations provide regulators with the authority to levy substantial penalties for noncompliance including fines, injunctive relief and other sanctions. These laws and regulations are administered by various federal, state and local agencies. Nevada Power believes it is in material compliance with all applicable laws and regulations, although many are subject to interpretation that may ultimately be resolved by the courts. Environmental laws and regulations continue to evolve, and Nevada Power is unable to predict the impact of the changing laws and regulations on its operations and financial results.
Refer to "Environmental Laws and Regulations" in Berkshire Hathaway Energy's Part I, Item 2 of this Form 10-Q for additional information regarding environmental laws and regulations.
Critical Accounting Estimates
Certain accounting measurements require management to make estimates and judgments concerning transactions that will be settled several years in the future. Amounts recognized on the Consolidated Financial Statements based on such estimates involve numerous assumptions subject to varying and potentially significant degrees of judgment and uncertainty and will likely change in the future as additional information becomes available. Estimates are used for, but not limited to, the accounting for the effects of certain types of regulation, impairment of long-lived assets and income taxes. For additional discussion of Nevada Power's critical accounting estimates, see Item 7 of Nevada Power's Annual Report on Form 10‑K for the year ended December 31, 2024. There have been no significant changes in Nevada Power's assumptions regarding critical accounting estimates since December 31, 2024.

Item 1.Financial Statements
REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors and Shareholder of
Sierra Pacific Power Company
Results of Review of Interim Financial Information
We have reviewed the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Sierra Pacific Power Company and subsidiaries ("Sierra Pacific") as of March 31, 2025, the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in shareholder's equity, and cash flows for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the "interim financial information"). Based on our reviews, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to the accompanying interim financial information for it to be in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
We have previously audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the consolidated balance sheet of Sierra Pacific as of December 31, 2024, and the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in shareholder's equity, and cash flows for the year then ended (not presented herein); and in our report dated February 21, 2025, we expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements. In our opinion, the information set forth in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2024, is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the consolidated balance sheet from which it has been derived.
Basis for Review Results
This interim financial information is the responsibility of Sierra Pacific's management. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to Sierra Pacific in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our reviews in accordance with standards of the PCAOB. A review of interim financial information consists principally of applying analytical procedures and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB, the objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
(1) General
Sierra Pacific Power Company, together with its subsidiaries ("Sierra Pacific"), is a wholly owned subsidiary of NV Energy, Inc. ("NV Energy"), a holding company that also owns Nevada Power Company and its subsidiaries ("Nevada Power") and certain other subsidiaries. Sierra Pacific is a U.S. regulated electric utility company serving retail customers, including residential, commercial and industrial customers and regulated retail natural gas customers primarily in northern Nevada. NV Energy is an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Berkshire Hathaway Energy Company ("BHE"). BHE is a holding company headquartered in Iowa that has investments in subsidiaries principally engaged in energy businesses. BHE is a wholly owned subsidiary of Berkshire Hathaway Inc. ("Berkshire Hathaway").
The unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP") for interim financial information and the United States Securities and Exchange Commission's rules and regulations for Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the disclosures required by GAAP for annual financial statements. Management believes the unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements contain all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for the fair presentation of the unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements as of March 31, 2025, and for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2025 and 2024. The Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income have been omitted as net income equals comprehensive income for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2025 and 2024. The results of operations for the three-month period ended March 31, 2025, are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.
The preparation of the unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the period. Actual results may differ from the estimates used in preparing the unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements. Note 2 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in Sierra Pacific's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024, describes the most significant accounting policies used in the preparation of the unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements. There have been no significant changes in Sierra Pacific's accounting policies or its assumptions regarding significant accounting estimates during the three-month period ended March 31, 2025.
(2) New Accounting Pronouncements
In December 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2023-09, Income Taxes Topic 740, "Income Tax—Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures" which requires enhanced disclosures, including specific categories and disaggregation of information in the effective tax rate reconciliation, disaggregated information related to income taxes paid, income or loss from continuing operations before income tax expense or benefit, and income tax expense or benefit from continuing operations. This guidance is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted and should be applied on a prospective basis, however retrospective application is permitted. Sierra Pacific is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this guidance on its Consolidated Financial Statements and disclosures included within Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU No. 2024-03, Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures Subtopic 220-40, "Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses" which addresses requests from investors for more detailed information about certain expenses and requires disclosure of the amounts of purchases of inventory, employee compensation, depreciation and intangible asset amortization included in each relevant expense caption presented on the income statement. This guidance is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026 and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption is permitted and should be applied on a prospective basis, however retrospective application is permitted. Sierra Pacific is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this guidance on its Consolidated Financial Statements and disclosures included within Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.
(3) Cash and Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash equivalents consist of funds invested in money market mutual funds, U.S. Treasury Bills and other investments with a maturity of three months or less when purchased. Cash and cash equivalents exclude amounts where availability is restricted by legal requirements, loan agreements or other contractual provisions. Restricted cash and cash equivalents consist of funds restricted by the Public Utilities Commission of Nevada ("PUCN") for a certain renewable energy contract. A reconciliation of cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash and cash equivalents as presented on the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows is outlined below and disaggregated by the line items in which they appear on the Consolidated Balance Sheets (in millions):

Berkshire Hathaway includes BHE and its subsidiaries in its U.S. federal income tax return. Consistent with established regulatory practice, Sierra Pacific's provision for federal income tax has been computed on a stand-alone basis, and substantially all of its currently payable or receivable income tax is remitted to or received from BHE. Sierra Pacific made cash payments for federal income tax to BHE of $— million and $22 million for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.
(6) Employee Benefit Plans
Sierra Pacific is a participant in benefit plans sponsored by NV Energy. The NV Energy Retirement Plan includes a qualified pension plan ("Qualified Pension Plan") and a supplemental executive retirement plan and a restoration plan (collectively, "Non‑Qualified Pension Plans") that provide pension benefits for eligible employees. The NV Energy Comprehensive Welfare Benefit and Cafeteria Plan provides certain postretirement health care and life insurance benefits for eligible retirees ("Other Postretirement Plans") on behalf of Sierra Pacific. Amounts attributable to Sierra Pacific were allocated from NV Energy based upon the current, or in the case of retirees, previous, employment location. Offsetting regulatory assets and liabilities have been recorded related to the amounts not yet recognized as a component of net periodic benefit costs that will be included in regulated rates. Net periodic benefit costs not included in regulated rates are included in accumulated other comprehensive loss, net.
Amounts receivable from (payable to) NV Energy are included on the Consolidated Balance Sheets and consist of the following (in millions):

(7) Risk Management and Hedging Activities
Sierra Pacific is exposed to the impact of market fluctuations in commodity prices and interest rates. Sierra Pacific is principally exposed to electricity, natural gas and coal market fluctuations primarily through Sierra Pacific's obligation to serve retail customer load in its regulated service territory. Sierra Pacific's load and generating facilities represent substantial underlying commodity positions. Exposures to commodity prices consist mainly of variations in the price of fuel required to generate electricity and wholesale electricity that is purchased and sold. Commodity prices are subject to wide price swings as supply and demand are impacted by, among many other unpredictable items, weather, market liquidity, generating facility availability, customer usage, storage, and transmission and transportation constraints. The actual cost of fuel and purchased power is recoverable through the deferred energy mechanism. Interest rate risk exists on variable-rate debt and future debt issuances. Sierra Pacific does not engage in proprietary trading activities.
Sierra Pacific has established a risk management process that is designed to identify, assess, manage and report on each of the various types of risk involved in its business. To mitigate a portion of its commodity price risk, Sierra Pacific uses commodity derivative contracts, which may include forwards, futures, options, swaps and other agreements, to effectively secure future supply or sell future production generally at fixed prices. Sierra Pacific manages its interest rate risk by limiting its exposure to variable interest rates primarily through the issuance of fixed-rate long-term debt and by monitoring market changes in interest rates. Additionally, Sierra Pacific may from time to time enter into interest rate derivative contracts, such as interest rate swaps or locks, to mitigate Sierra Pacific's exposure to interest rate risk. Sierra Pacific does not hedge all of its commodity price and interest rate risks, thereby exposing the unhedged portion to changes in market prices. There have been no significant changes in Sierra Pacific's accounting policies related to derivatives. Refer to Note 8 for additional information on derivative contracts.
The following table, which excludes contracts that have been designated as normal under the normal purchases and normal sales exception afforded by GAAP, summarizes the fair value of Sierra Pacific's derivative contracts, on a gross basis, and reconciles those amounts presented on a net basis on the Consolidated Balance Sheets (in millions):

Credit Risk
Sierra Pacific is exposed to counterparty credit risk associated with wholesale energy supply and marketing activities with other utilities, energy marketing companies, financial institutions and other market participants. Credit risk may be concentrated to the extent Sierra Pacific's counterparties have similar economic, industry or other characteristics and due to direct and indirect relationships among the counterparties. Before entering into a transaction, Sierra Pacific analyzes the financial condition of each significant wholesale counterparty, establishes limits on the amount of unsecured credit to be extended to each counterparty and evaluates the appropriateness of unsecured credit limits on an ongoing basis. To further mitigate wholesale counterparty credit risk, Sierra Pacific enters into netting and collateral arrangements that may include margining and cross-product netting agreements and obtain third-party guarantees, letters of credit and cash deposits. If required, Sierra Pacific exercises rights under these arrangements, including calling on the counterparty's credit support arrangement.
Collateral and Contingent Features
In accordance with industry practice, certain wholesale agreements, including derivative contracts, contain credit support provisions that in part base certain collateral requirements on credit ratings for senior unsecured debt as reported by one or more of the recognized credit rating agencies. These agreements may either specifically provide bilateral rights to demand cash or other security if credit exposures on a net basis exceed specified rating-dependent threshold levels ("credit-risk-related contingent features") or provide the right for counterparties to demand "adequate assurance" if there is a material adverse change in Sierra Pacific's creditworthiness. These rights can vary by contract and by counterparty. As of March 31, 2025, Sierra Pacific's credit ratings for its senior secured debt and its issuer credit ratings for senior unsecured debt from the recognized credit rating agencies were investment grade.
The aggregate fair value of Sierra Pacific's derivative contracts in liability positions with specific credit-risk-related contingent features totaled $— million as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, which represents the amount of collateral to be posted if all credit risk related contingent features for derivative contracts in liability positions had been triggered. Sierra Pacific's collateral requirements could fluctuate considerably due to market price volatility, changes in credit ratings, changes in legislation or regulation or other factors.
(8) Fair Value Measurements
The carrying value of Sierra Pacific's cash, certain cash equivalents, receivables, payables, accrued liabilities and short-term borrowings approximates fair value because of the short-term maturity of these instruments. Sierra Pacific has various financial assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on the Consolidated Financial Statements using inputs from the three levels of the fair value hierarchy. A financial asset or liability classification within the hierarchy is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The three levels are as follows:
•Level 1 — Inputs are unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that Sierra Pacific has the ability to access at the measurement date.
•Level 2 — Inputs include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability and inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means (market corroborated inputs).
•Level 3 — Unobservable inputs reflect Sierra Pacific's judgments about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability since limited market data exists. Sierra Pacific develops these inputs based on the best information available, including its own data.
The following table presents Sierra Pacific's financial assets and liabilities recognized on the Consolidated Balance Sheets and measured at fair value on a recurring basis (in millions):

Derivative contracts are recorded on the Consolidated Balance Sheets as either assets or liabilities and are stated at estimated fair value unless they are designated as normal purchases or normal sales and qualify for the exception afforded by GAAP. When available, the fair value of derivative contracts is estimated using unadjusted quoted prices for identical contracts in the market in which Sierra Pacific transacts. When quoted prices for identical contracts are not available, Sierra Pacific uses forward price curves. Forward price curves represent Sierra Pacific's estimates of the prices at which a buyer or seller could contract today for delivery or settlement at future dates. Sierra Pacific bases its forward price curves upon internally developed models, with internal and external fundamental data inputs. Market price quotations for certain electricity and natural gas trading hubs are not as readily obtainable due to markets that are not active. Given that limited market data exists for these contracts, Sierra Pacific uses forward price curves derived from internal models based on perceived pricing relationships to major trading hubs that are based on unobservable inputs. The model incorporates a mid-market pricing convention (the mid‑point price between bid and ask prices) as a practical expedient for valuing its assets and liabilities measured and reported at fair value. The determination of the fair value for derivative contracts not only includes counterparty risk, but also the impact of Sierra Pacific's nonperformance risk on its liabilities, which as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, had an immaterial impact to the fair value of its derivative contracts. As such, Sierra Pacific considers its derivative contracts to be valued using Level 3 inputs.
Sierra Pacific's investments in money market mutual funds and investment funds are stated at fair value. When available, a readily observable quoted market price or net asset value of an identical security in an active market is used to record the fair value.
The following table reconciles the beginning and ending balances of Sierra Pacific's commodity derivative assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis using significant Level 3 inputs (in millions):

Sierra Pacific's long-term debt is carried at cost on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The fair value of Sierra Pacific's long-term debt is a Level 2 fair value measurement and has been estimated based upon quoted market prices, where available, or at the present value of future cash flows discounted at rates consistent with comparable maturities with similar credit risks. The carrying value of Sierra Pacific's variable-rate long-term debt approximates fair value because of the frequent repricing of these instruments at market rates. The following table presents the carrying value and estimated fair value of Sierra Pacific's long-term debt (in millions):

(11) Segment Information
Sierra Pacific has identified two reportable operating segments: regulated electric and regulated natural gas. The regulated electric segment derives most of its revenue from regulated retail sales of electricity to residential, commercial, and industrial customers and from wholesale sales. The regulated natural gas segment derives most of its revenue from regulated retail sales of natural gas to residential, commercial, and industrial customers and also obtains revenue by transporting natural gas owned by others through its distribution system. Pricing for regulated electric and regulated natural gas sales are established separately by the PUCN; therefore, management also reviews each segment separately to make decisions regarding allocation of resources and in evaluating performance.
The following tables provide information on a reportable segment basis (in millions):

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
The following is management's discussion and analysis of certain significant factors that have affected the consolidated financial condition and results of operations of Sierra Pacific during the periods included herein. Explanations include management's best estimate of the impact of weather, customer growth, usage trends and other factors. This discussion should be read in conjunction with Sierra Pacific's historical unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in Part I, Item 1 of this Form 10-Q. Sierra Pacific's actual results in the future could differ significantly from the historical results.
Results of Operations for the First Quarter of 2025 and 2024
Overview
Net income for the first quarter of 2025 was $27 million, an increase of $17 million compared to 2024 primarily due to higher utility margin, higher allowance for borrowed funds and capitalized interest and lower depreciation and amortization expense, partially offset by higher interest expense, higher operations and maintenance expense and unfavorable income tax expense. Electric utility margin increased primarily due to higher retail rates from the 2024 regulatory rate review with new rates effective October 2024. Electric retail customer volumes, including distribution only service customers, increased by 1.1% primarily due to the favorable impact of weather. Natural gas utility margin increased primarily due to higher customer volumes from an increase in the average number of customers. Energy generated volumes decreased 9% for the first quarter of 2025 compared to 2024. Wholesale electricity sales volumes decreased 16% and energy purchased volumes decreased 2%.
Non-GAAP Financial Measure
Management utilizes various key financial measures that are prepared in accordance with GAAP, as well as non-GAAP financial measures such as electric utility margin and natural gas utility margin, to help evaluate results of operations. Electric utility margin is calculated as electric operating revenue less cost of fuel and energy while natural gas utility margin is calculated as natural gas operating revenue less cost of natural gas purchased for resale, which are captions presented on the Consolidated Statements of Operations.
Sierra Pacific's cost of fuel and energy and cost of natural gas purchased for resale are generally recovered from its retail customers through regulatory recovery mechanisms and as a result, changes in Sierra Pacific's expenses included in recovery mechanisms result in comparable changes to revenue. As such, management believes electric utility margin and natural gas utility margin more appropriately and concisely explain results of operations rather than a discussion of revenue and cost of sales separately. Management believes the presentation of electric utility margin and natural gas utility margin provides meaningful and valuable insight into the information management considers important to understanding the business and a measure of comparability to others in the industry.
Electric utility margin and natural gas utility margin are not measures calculated in accordance with GAAP and should be viewed as a supplement to, and not a substitute for, operating income which is the most directly comparable financial measure prepared in accordance with GAAP. The following table provides a reconciliation of utility margin to operating income (in millions):

Quarter Ended March 31, 2025 Compared to Quarter Ended March 31, 2024
Electric utility margin increased $12 million, or 11%, for the first quarter of 2025 compared to 2024 primarily due to:
•$14 million of higher electric retail utility margin primarily due to higher retail rates from the 2024 regulatory rate review with new rates effective October 2024. Retail customer volumes, including distribution only service customers, increased 1.1% primarily due to the favorable impact of weather.
The increase in electric utility margin was partially offset by:
•$2 million of lower transmission and wholesale revenue.
Natural gas utility margin increased $2 million, or 11%, for the first quarter of 2025 compared to 2024 primarily due to higher customer volumes from an increase in the average number of customers.
Operations and maintenance increased $4 million, or 7%, for the first quarter of 2025 compared to 2024 primarily due to higher insurance premiums from additional wildfire and general excess liability coverage and higher plant operations and maintenance expenses, partially offset by lower technology costs and lower administrative and general costs.
Interest expense increased $4 million, or 20%, for the first quarter of 2025 compared to 2024 primarily due to higher carrying charges on regulatory balances and higher long-term debt.
Allowance for borrowed and equity funds increased $8 million, or 160%, for the first quarter of 2025 compared to 2024 primarily due to higher construction work-in-progress.
Income tax expense increased $2 million for the first quarter of 2025 compared to 2024 primarily due to higher pretax income. The effective tax rate was 10% in 2025 and 9% in 2024 and decreased primarily due to the effects of ratemaking.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of March 31, 2025, Sierra Pacific's total net liquidity was as follows (in millions):
| | | | | | | | |
Cash and cash equivalents | | $ | 144 | |
| | |
Credit facility | | 400 | |
| | |
| | |
| | |

Total net liquidity | | $ | 544 | |
Credit facility: | | |
Maturity date | | 2027 |
Sierra Pacific's operating results and capital expenditures for certain projects may be affected in future periods by impacts of ongoing macroeconomic and geopolitical events. The pace of changes in these events, including international trade policies and tariffs, has accelerated in 2025. Considerable uncertainty remains as to the ultimate outcome of these events. Sierra Pacific is unable to reliably predict the ultimate outcome or the potential impact on its business.
Operating Activities
Net cash flows from operating activities for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, were $27 million and $133 million, respectively. The change was primarily due to the timing of payments for operating costs and lower collections from customers, partially offset by lower payments related to fuel and energy costs and lower income tax payments.
The timing of Sierra Pacific's income tax cash flows from period to period can be significantly affected by the estimated federal income tax payment methods and assumptions made for each payment date.
Investing Activities
Net cash flows from investing activities for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, were $(173) million and $(113) million, respectively. The change was primarily due to increased capital expenditures. Refer to "Future Uses of Cash" for further discussion of capital expenditures.
Financing Activities
Net cash flows from financing activities for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, were $273 million and $32 million, respectively. The change was primarily due to higher contributions from NV Energy, Inc. and lower dividends paid to NV Energy, Inc., partially offset by a decrease in proceeds from long-term debt.
Debt Authorizations
Sierra Pacific currently has financing authority from the PUCN consisting of the ability to: (1) establish debt issuances limited to a debt ceiling of $4.0 billion (excluding borrowings under Sierra Pacific's $400 million secured credit facility); and (2) maintain a revolving credit facility of up to $600 million. Sierra Pacific currently has an effective shelf registration statement with the SEC to issue an additional $2.5 billion of general and refunding mortgage securities through April 1, 2028.
Future Uses of Cash
Sierra Pacific has available a variety of sources of liquidity and capital resources, both internal and external, including net cash flows from operating activities, public and private debt offerings, the use of its secured revolving credit facility, capital contributions and other sources. These sources are expected to provide funds required for current operations, capital expenditures, debt retirements and other capital requirements. The availability and terms under which Sierra Pacific has access to external financing depends on a variety of factors, including regulatory approvals, Sierra Pacific's credit ratings, investors' judgment of risk and conditions in the overall capital markets, including the condition of the utility industry.
Capital Expenditures
Capital expenditure needs are reviewed regularly by management and may change significantly as a result of these reviews, which may consider, among other factors, changes in environmental and other rules and regulations; impacts to customer rates; outcomes of regulatory proceedings; changes in income tax laws; general business conditions; load projections; system reliability standards; the cost and efficiency of construction labor, equipment and materials; commodity prices; and the cost and availability of capital. Prudently incurred expenditures for compliance-related items such as pollution-control technologies, replacement generation and associated operating costs are generally incorporated into Sierra Pacific's regulated retail rates. Expenditures for certain assets may ultimately include acquisition of existing assets.
Sierra Pacific's historical and forecast capital expenditures, each of which exclude amounts for non-cash equity AFUDC and other non-cash items are as follows (in millions):
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| Three-Month Periods | | Annual |
| Ended March 31, | | Forecast |
| 2024 | | 2025 | | 2025 |
| | | | | |
| | | | | |
Electric battery storage | $ | 4 | | | $ | 3 | | | $ | 389 | |
Electric transmission | 17 | | | 48 | | | 385 | |
Solar generation | — | | | 59 | | | 217 | |
Electric distribution | 48 | | | 45 | | | 194 | |

Other | 43 | | | 14 | | | 69 | |
Total | $ | 113 | | | $ | 173 | | | $ | 1,341 | |
Sierra Pacific receives PUCN approval through its IRP filings for various projects. Sierra Pacific has included estimates from these IRP filings in its forecast capital expenditures for 2025. These estimates can change as a result of the RFP process, continued evaluation and future IRP filing refinements. Sierra Pacific's capital expenditures include the following:
•Solar generation and electric battery storage primarily consist of a 400-MW solar photovoltaic facility with an additional 400 MWs of co-located battery storage that is being developed in Churchill County, Nevada with ownership share approved by the PUCN of 90% Sierra Pacific and 10% Nevada Power. Commercial operation of the solar facility is expected by early 2027 and commercial operation of the co-located battery storage is expected by mid-2026.
•Electric transmission includes both growth projects and operating expenditures. Growth projects primarily relate to the Nevada Utilities' Greenlink Nevada transmission expansion program. Operating expenditures consist of routine expenditures for transmission and other infrastructure needed to serve existing and expected demand.
•Electric distribution includes both growth projects and operating expenditures consisting of routine expenditures for distribution needed to serve existing and expected demand.
•Wildfire prevention includes both growth and operating capital that include expenditures contained in a comprehensive natural disaster protection plan filed and approved by the PUCN. These projects include, but are not limited to, rebuilding distribution lines with covered conductor, converting overhead distribution lines to underground and copper wire and pole replacement projects.
•Other includes both growth projects and operating expenditures. Growth projects primarily consist of a repower project at the Valmy generating facility to convert existing coal-fired combustion to natural gas-fired combustion that was approved by the PUCN and a hydrogen-capable natural gas simple cycle combustion turbine peakers project at the Valmy generating facility. Operating expenditures consist of information technology expenditures, routine expenditures for generation, other operating projects and other infrastructure needed to serve existing and expected demand.
Material Cash Requirements
As of March 31, 2025, there have been no material changes outside the normal course of business in material cash requirements from the information provided in Item 7 of Sierra Pacific's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024.
Regulatory Matters
Sierra Pacific is subject to comprehensive regulation. Refer to "Regulatory Matters" in Berkshire Hathaway Energy's Part I, Item 2 of this Form 10-Q for discussion regarding Sierra Pacific's current regulatory matters.
Environmental Laws and Regulations
Sierra Pacific is subject to federal, state and local laws and regulations regarding air quality, climate change, emissions performance standards, water quality, coal ash disposal and other environmental matters that have the potential to impact Sierra Pacific's current and future operations. In addition to imposing continuing compliance obligations, these laws and regulations provide regulators with the authority to levy substantial penalties for noncompliance including fines, injunctive relief and other sanctions. These laws and regulations are administered by various federal, state and local agencies. Sierra Pacific believes it is in material compliance with all applicable laws and regulations, although many are subject to interpretation that may ultimately be resolved by the courts. Environmental laws and regulations continue to evolve, and Sierra Pacific is unable to predict the impact of the changing laws and regulations on its operations and financial results.
Refer to "Environmental Laws and Regulations" in Berkshire Hathaway Energy's Part I, Item 2 of this Form 10-Q for additional information regarding environmental laws and regulations.
Critical Accounting Estimates
Certain accounting measurements require management to make estimates and judgments concerning transactions that will be settled several years in the future. Amounts recognized on the Consolidated Financial Statements based on such estimates involve numerous assumptions subject to varying and potentially significant degrees of judgment and uncertainty and will likely change in the future as additional information becomes available. Estimates are used for, but not limited to, the accounting for the effects of certain types of regulation, impairment of long-lived assets and income taxes. For additional discussion of Sierra Pacific's critical accounting estimates, see Item 7 of Sierra Pacific's Annual Report on Form 10‑K for the year ended December 31, 2024. There have been no significant changes in Sierra Pacific's assumptions regarding critical accounting estimates since December 31, 2024.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors of
Eastern Energy Gas Holdings, LLC
Results of Review of Interim Financial Information
We have reviewed the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Eastern Energy Gas Holdings, LLC and subsidiaries ("Eastern Energy Gas") as of March 31, 2025, the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive income, changes in equity, and cash flows for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the "interim financial information"). Based on our reviews, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to the accompanying interim financial information for it to be in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
We have previously audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the consolidated balance sheet of Eastern Energy Gas as of December 31, 2024, and the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive income, changes in equity, and cash flows for the year then ended (not presented herein); and in our report dated February 21, 2025, we expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements. In our opinion, the information set forth in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2024, is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the consolidated balance sheet from which it has been derived.
Basis for Review Results
This interim financial information is the responsibility of Eastern Energy Gas' management. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to Eastern Energy Gas in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our reviews in accordance with standards of the PCAOB. A review of interim financial information consists principally of applying analytical procedures and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB, the objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.

Accordingly, they do not include all of the disclosures required by GAAP for annual financial statements. Management believes the unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements contain all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for the fair presentation of the unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements as of March 31, 2025, and for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2025 and 2024. The results of operations for the three-month period ended March 31, 2025 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.
The preparation of the unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the period. Actual results may differ from the estimates used in preparing the unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements. Note 2 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in Eastern Energy Gas' Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024 describes the most significant accounting policies used in the preparation of the unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements.

(8) Fair Value Measurements
The carrying value of Eastern Energy Gas' cash, certain cash equivalents, receivables, payables, accrued liabilities and short-term borrowings approximates fair value because of the short-term maturity of these instruments. Eastern Energy Gas has various financial assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on the Consolidated Financial Statements using inputs from the three levels of the fair value hierarchy. A financial asset or liability classification within the hierarchy is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The three levels are as follows:
•Level 1 - Inputs are unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that Eastern Energy Gas has the ability to access at the measurement date.
•Level 2 - Inputs include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability and inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means (market corroborated inputs).
•Level 3 - Unobservable inputs reflect Eastern Energy Gas' judgments about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability since limited market data exists. Eastern Energy Gas develops these inputs based on the best information available, including its own data.
The following table presents Eastern Energy Gas' financial assets and liabilities recognized on the Consolidated Balance Sheets and measured at fair value on a recurring basis (in millions):

| | $ | — | | | $ | (23) | | | $ | — | | | $ | (23) | |
Eastern Energy Gas' investments in money market mutual funds and investment funds are stated at fair value. When available, a readily observable quoted market price or net asset value of an identical security in an active market is used to record the fair value.
Derivative contracts are recorded on the Consolidated Balance Sheets as either assets or liabilities and are stated at estimated fair value unless they are designated as normal purchase or normal sales and qualify for the exception afforded by GAAP. When available, the fair value of derivative contracts is estimated using unadjusted quoted prices for identical contracts in the market in which Eastern Energy Gas transacts. When quoted prices for identical contracts are not available, Eastern Energy Gas uses forward price curves. Forward price curves represent Eastern Energy Gas' estimates of the prices at which a buyer or seller could contract today for delivery or settlement at future dates. Eastern Energy Gas bases its forward price curves upon market price quotations, when available, or internally developed and commercial models, with internal and external fundamental data inputs. Market price quotations are obtained from independent brokers, exchanges, direct communication with market participants and actual transactions executed by Eastern Energy Gas. Market price quotations are generally readily obtainable for the applicable term of Eastern Energy Gas' outstanding derivative contracts; therefore, Eastern Energy Gas' forward price curves reflect observable market quotes. Market price quotations for certain natural gas trading hubs are not as readily obtainable due to the length of the contracts. Given that limited market data exists for these contracts, as well as for those contracts that are not actively traded, Eastern Energy Gas uses forward price curves derived from internal models based on perceived pricing relationships to major trading hubs that are based on unobservable inputs. The estimated fair value of these derivative contracts is a function of underlying forward commodity prices, interest rates, currency rates, related volatility, counterparty creditworthiness and duration of contracts.
Eastern Energy Gas' long-term debt is carried at cost on the Consolidated Financial Statements. The fair value of Eastern Energy Gas' long-term debt is a Level 2 fair value measurement and has been estimated based upon quoted market prices, where available, or at the present value of future cash flows discounted at rates consistent with comparable maturities with similar credit risks. The following table presents the carrying value and estimated fair value of Eastern Energy Gas' long-term debt (in millions):
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |

Item 2.Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
The following is management's discussion and analysis of certain significant factors that have affected the consolidated financial condition and results of operations of Eastern Energy Gas during the periods included herein. This discussion should be read in conjunction with Eastern Energy Gas' historical Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in Part I, Item 1 of this Form 10-Q. Eastern Energy Gas' actual results in the future could differ significantly from the historical results.
Results of Operations for the First Quarter of 2025 and 2024
Overview
Net income attributable to Eastern Energy Gas was flat for the first quarter of 2025 compared to 2024, primarily due to higher earnings from Cove Point of $18 million, largely due to an increase in variable revenue and higher margin from regulated gas transmission and storage operations of $10 million, partially offset by a decrease in equity income primarily due to lower variable revenues at Iroquois and an increase in interest expense.
Quarter Ended March 31, 2025 Compared to Quarter Ended March 31, 2024
Operating revenue increased $45 million, or 8%, for the first quarter of 2025 compared to 2024, primarily due to an increase in Cove Point LNG variable revenue of $38 million, an increase in EGTS' regulated gas transmission and storage services revenues primarily due to higher volumes of $7 million and an increase in Carolina Gas Transmission, LLC's ("CGT's") regulated gas transmission service revenues of $7 million primarily due to the settlement of its general rates case, partially offset by a decrease in Cove Point's storage-related service revenues of $6 million and a decrease in variable revenue related to park and loan activity of $4 million.
Operations and maintenance decreased $2 million, or 2%, for the first quarter of 2025 compared to 2024, primarily due to a decrease in materials and supplies of $4 million, partially offset by an increase in services provided to affiliates of $2 million and an increase in charges from affiliates of $2 million.
Depreciation and amortization increased $5 million, or 6%, for the first quarter of 2025 compared to 2024, primarily due to higher plant placed in service of $3 million and the settlement of deprecation rates in CGT's general rate case of $2 million.
Interest expense increased $16 million, or 44%, for the first quarter of 2025 compared to 2024, primarily due to the issuances of $1.2 billion of long-term debt in the first quarter of 2025 of $15 million and higher interest rates on $1.0 billion of long-term debt refinanced during 2024 of $7 million, partially offset by lower lending activity under BHE GT&S' intercompany revolving credit agreement of $6 million.
Income tax expense decreased $7 million, or 11%, for the first quarter of 2025 compared to 2024 and the effective tax rate was 21% for 2025 and 26% for 2024. The effective tax rate decreased primarily due to various changes in the state effective rate and lower equity earnings from Iroquois.
Equity income decreased $19 million, or 42%, for the first quarter of 2025 compared to 2024, primarily due to lower variable revenues at Iroquois, largely from unfavorable pricing.
Net income attributable to noncontrolling interests increased $9 million, or 25%, for the first quarter of 2025 compared to 2024, primarily due to an increase in Cove Point LNG variable revenue.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of March 31, 2025, Eastern Energy Gas' total net liquidity was as follows (in millions):
| | | | | | | | |
Cash and cash equivalents | | $ | 301 | |
| | |
Intercompany revolving credit agreement | | 400 | |
| | |
| | |
| | |
| | |
Total net liquidity | | $ | 701 | |
| | |
Intercompany revolving credit agreement: | | |
Maturity date | | 2026 |
Eastern Energy Gas' operating results and capital expenditures for certain projects may be affected in future periods by impacts of ongoing macroeconomic and geopolitical events. The pace of changes in these events, including international trade policies and tariffs, has accelerated in 2025. Considerable uncertainty remains as to the ultimate outcome of these events. Eastern Energy Gas is unable to reliably predict the ultimate outcome or the potential impact on its business.
Operating Activities
Net cash flows from operating activities for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2025 and 2024 were $397 million and $356 million, respectively. The change is primarily due to favorable operating results, the timing of payments for operating costs and other working capital adjustments, partially offset by lower distributions from Iroquois and lower collections from customers.
Investing Activities
Net cash flows from investing activities for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2025 and 2024 were $(85) million and $(60) million, respectively. The change is primarily due to an increase in notes issued to its parent under an intercompany revolving credit agreement of $37 million, partially offset by a decrease in capital expenditures of $9 million and an increase in proceeds from sales of marketable securities of $4 million.
Financing Activities
Net cash flows from financing activities for the three-month period ended March 31, 2025 were $(45) million. Sources of cash totaled $1.2 billion and consisted of proceeds from the issuance of long-term debt. Uses of cash totaled $1.2 billion and consisted of distributions to its indirect parent, BHE, of $1.2 billion and distributions to noncontrolling interests from Cove Point of $43 million.
Net cash flows from financing activities for the three-month period ended March 31, 2024 were $(283) million and consisted of net repayment of notes payable to affiliates of $192 million, distributions to its indirect parent, BHE, of $52 million and distributions to noncontrolling interests from Cove Point of $39 million.
Long-term debt
Eastern Energy Gas currently has an effective shelf registration statement with the SEC to issue an additional $400 million of long-term debt securities through January 11, 2027.
Future Uses of Cash
Eastern Energy Gas has available a variety of sources of liquidity and capital resources, both internal and external, including net cash flows from operating activities, public and private debt offerings, intercompany revolving credit agreements, capital contributions and other sources. These sources are expected to provide funds required for current operations, capital expenditures, investments, debt retirements and other capital requirements. The availability and terms under which Eastern Energy Gas and each subsidiary has access to external financing depends on a variety of factors, including regulatory approvals, Eastern Energy Gas' credit ratings, investors' judgment of risk and conditions in the overall capital markets, including the condition of the natural gas transmission and storage and LNG export, import and storage industries.
Capital Expenditures
Capital expenditure needs are reviewed regularly by management and may change significantly as a result of these reviews, which may consider, among other factors, new growth projects and the timing of growth projects; changes in environmental and other rules and regulations; impacts to customer rates; outcomes of regulatory proceedings; changes in income tax laws; general business conditions; system reliability standards; the cost and efficiency of construction labor, equipment and materials; commodity prices; and the cost and availability of capital.
Eastern Energy Gas' historical and forecasted capital expenditures, each of which exclude amounts for non-cash equity AFUDC and other non-cash items, are as follows (in millions):

Natural gas transmission and storage primarily includes growth capital expenditures related to planned regulated projects. Other includes primarily nonregulated and routine capital expenditures for natural gas transmission, storage and LNG terminalling infrastructure needed to serve existing and expected demand.
Material Cash Requirements
As of March 31, 2025, there have been no material changes in cash requirements from the information provided in Item 7 of Eastern Energy Gas' Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024, other than those disclosed in Note 5 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in Part I, Item 1 of this Form 10-Q.
Regulatory Matters
Eastern Energy Gas is subject to comprehensive regulation. Refer to "Regulatory Matters" in Berkshire Hathaway Energy's Part I, Item 2 of this Form 10-Q for discussion regarding Eastern Energy Gas' current regulatory matters.
Environmental Laws and Regulations
Eastern Energy Gas is subject to federal, state and local laws and regulations regarding air quality, climate change, emissions performance standards, water quality and other environmental matters that have the potential to impact its current and future operations. In addition to imposing continuing compliance obligations, these laws and regulations provide regulators with the authority to levy substantial penalties for noncompliance, including fines, injunctive relief and other sanctions. These laws and regulations are administered by various federal, state and local agencies. Eastern Energy Gas believes it is in material compliance with all applicable laws and regulations, although many are subject to interpretation that may ultimately be resolved by the courts. Environmental laws and regulations continue to evolve, and Eastern Energy Gas is unable to predict the impact of the changing laws and regulations on its operations and financial results.
Refer to "Environmental Laws and Regulations" in Berkshire Hathaway Energy's Part I, Item 2 of this Form 10-Q for additional information regarding environmental laws and regulations.
Critical Accounting Estimates
Certain accounting measurements require management to make estimates and judgments concerning transactions that will be settled several years in the future. Amounts recognized on the Consolidated Financial Statements based on such estimates involve numerous assumptions subject to varying and potentially significant degrees of judgment and uncertainty and will likely change in the future as additional information becomes available. Estimates are used for, but not limited to, the accounting for the effects of certain types of regulation, impairment of goodwill and long-lived assets and income taxes. For additional discussion of Eastern Energy Gas' critical accounting estimates, see Item 7 of Eastern Energy Gas' Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024. There have been no significant changes in Eastern Energy Gas' assumptions regarding critical accounting estimates since December 31, 2024.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors of
Eastern Gas Transmission and Storage, Inc.
Results of Review of Interim Financial Information
We have reviewed the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Eastern Gas Transmission and Storage, Inc. and subsidiaries ("EGTS") as of March 31, 2025, the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in shareholder's equity, and cash flows for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the "interim financial information"). Based on our reviews, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to the accompanying interim financial information for it to be in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
We have previously audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the consolidated balance sheet of EGTS as of December 31, 2024 and the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive income, changes in shareholder's equity, and cash flows for the year then ended (not presented herein); and in our report dated February 21, 2025 we expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements. In our opinion, the information set forth in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2024, is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the consolidated balance sheet from which it has been derived.
Basis for Review Results
This interim financial information is the responsibility of EGTS' management. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to EGTS in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our reviews in accordance with standards of the PCAOB. A review of interim financial information consists principally of applying analytical procedures and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB, the objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.

EASTERN GAS TRANSMISSION AND STORAGE, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
(1) General
Eastern Gas Transmission and Storage, Inc. and its subsidiaries ("EGTS") conduct business activities consisting of Federal Energy Regulatory Commission ("FERC")-regulated interstate natural gas transmission systems and underground storage. EGTS' operations include transmission assets located in Maryland, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Virginia and West Virginia. EGTS also operates one of the nation's largest underground natural gas storage systems located in New York, Pennsylvania and West Virginia. EGTS is a wholly owned subsidiary of Eastern Energy Gas Holdings, LLC ("Eastern Energy Gas"), which is an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Berkshire Hathaway Energy Company ("BHE"). BHE is a holding company headquartered in Iowa that has investments in subsidiaries principally engaged in energy businesses. BHE is a wholly owned subsidiary of Berkshire Hathaway Inc.
The unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP") for interim financial information and the United States Securities and Exchange Commission's rules and regulations for Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the disclosures required by GAAP for annual financial statements. Management believes the unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements contain all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for the fair presentation of the unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements as of March 31, 2025, and for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2025 and 2024. The Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income (Loss) have been omitted as net income (loss) materially equals comprehensive income (loss) for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2025 and 2024. The results of operations for the three-month period ended March 31, 2025 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.
The preparation of the unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the period. Actual results may differ from the estimates used in preparing the unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements. Note 2 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in EGTS' Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024 describes the most significant accounting policies used in the preparation of the unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements. There have been no significant changes in EGTS' accounting policies or its assumptions regarding significant accounting estimates during the three-month period ended March 31, 2025.
Segment Information
EGTS currently has one reportable segment, which includes its natural gas transmission and storage operations. EGTS' chief operating decision maker ("CODM") is the BHE Pipeline Group (which consists primarily of BHE GT&S, LLC, Northern Natural Gas Company and Kern River Gas Transmission Company) President and Chief Executive Officer. The CODM uses net income, as reported on the Consolidated Statements of Operations, and generally considers actual results versus historical results, budgets or forecast, as well as unique risks and opportunities, when making decisions about the allocation of resources and capital. The segment expenses regularly provided to the CODM align with the captions presented on the Consolidated Statements of Operations. The measure of segment assets is reported on the Consolidated Balance Sheets as total assets.
(2) New Accounting Pronouncements
In December 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2023-09, Income Taxes Topic 740, "Income Tax—Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures" which requires enhanced disclosures, including specific categories and disaggregation of information in the effective tax rate reconciliation, disaggregated information related to income taxes paid, income or loss from continuing operations before income tax expense or benefit, and income tax expense or benefit from continuing operations. This guidance is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted and should be applied on a prospective basis, however retrospective application is permitted. EGTS is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this guidance on its Consolidated Financial Statements and disclosures included within Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU No. 2024-03, Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures Subtopic 220-40, "Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses" which addresses requests from investors for more detailed information about certain expenses and requires disclosure of the amounts of purchases of inventory, employee compensation, depreciation and intangible asset amortization included in each relevant expense caption presented on the income statement. This guidance is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026 and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption is permitted and should be applied on a prospective basis, however retrospective application is permitted. EGTS is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this guidance on its Consolidated Financial Statements and disclosures included within Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

(6) Employee Benefit Plans
EGTS is a participant in benefit plans sponsored by MidAmerican Energy Company ("MidAmerican Energy"), an affiliate. The MidAmerican Energy Company Retirement Plan includes a qualified pension plan that provides pension benefits for eligible employees. The MidAmerican Energy Company Welfare Benefit Plan provides certain postretirement health care and life insurance benefits for eligible retirees on behalf of EGTS. EGTS contributed $1 million and $2 million to the MidAmerican Energy Company Retirement Plan for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. Contributions related to these plans are reflected as net periodic benefit cost in operations and maintenance expense on the Consolidated Statements of Operations. Amounts attributable to EGTS were allocated from MidAmerican Energy in accordance with the intercompany administrative service agreement. Offsetting regulatory assets and liabilities have been recorded related to the amounts not yet recognized as a component of net periodic benefit costs that will be included in regulated rates. As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, EGTS' amount due to MidAmerican Energy associated with these plans and included in other long-term liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets was $35 million.
(7) Fair Value Measurements
The carrying value of EGTS' cash, certain cash equivalents, receivables, payables, accrued liabilities and short-term borrowings approximates fair value because of the short-term maturity of these instruments. EGTS has various financial assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on the Consolidated Financial Statements using inputs from the three levels of the fair value hierarchy. A financial asset or liability classification within the hierarchy is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The three levels are as follows:
•Level 1 - Inputs are unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that EGTS has the ability to access at the measurement date.
•Level 2 - Inputs include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability and inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means (market corroborated inputs).
•Level 3 - Unobservable inputs reflect EGTS' judgments about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability since limited market data exists. EGTS develops these inputs based on the best information available, including its own data.
The following table presents EGTS' financial assets and liabilities recognized on the Consolidated Balance Sheets and measured at fair value on a recurring basis (in millions):

EGTS' investments in money market mutual funds and investment funds are stated at fair value. When available, a readily observable quoted market price or net asset value of an identical security in an active market is used to record the fair value.
Derivative contracts are recorded on the Consolidated Balance Sheets as either assets or liabilities and are stated at estimated fair value unless they are designated as normal purchase or normal sales and qualify for the exception afforded by GAAP. When available, the fair value of derivative contracts is estimated using unadjusted quoted prices for identical contracts in the market in which EGTS transacts. When quoted prices for identical contracts are not available, EGTS uses forward price curves. Forward price curves represent EGTS' estimates of the prices at which a buyer or seller could contract today for delivery or settlement at future dates. EGTS bases its forward price curves upon market price quotations, when available, or internally developed and commercial models, with internal and external fundamental data inputs. Market price quotations are obtained from independent brokers, exchanges, direct communication with market participants and actual transactions executed by EGTS. Market price quotations are generally readily obtainable for the applicable term of EGTS' outstanding derivative contracts; therefore, EGTS' forward price curves reflect observable market quotes. Market price quotations for certain natural gas trading hubs are not as readily obtainable due to the length of the contracts. Given that limited market data exists for these contracts, as well as for those contracts that are not actively traded, EGTS uses forward price curves derived from internal models based on perceived pricing relationships to major trading hubs that are based on unobservable inputs. The estimated fair value of these derivative contracts is a function of underlying forward commodity prices, related volatility, counterparty creditworthiness and duration of contracts.
EGTS' long-term debt is carried at cost on the Consolidated Financial Statements. The fair value of EGTS' long-term debt is a Level 2 fair value measurement and has been estimated based upon quoted market prices, where available, or at the present value of future cash flows discounted at rates consistent with comparable maturities with similar credit risks. The following table presents the carrying value and estimated fair value of EGTS' long-term debt (in millions):
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| As of March 31, 2025 | | As of December 31, 2024 |

Item 2.Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
The following is management's discussion and analysis of certain significant factors that have affected the consolidated financial condition and results of operations of EGTS during the periods included herein. This discussion should be read in conjunction with EGTS' historical Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in Part I, Item 1 of this Form 10-Q. EGTS' actual results in the future could differ significantly from the historical results.
Results of Operations for the First Quarter of 2025 and 2024
Overview
Net income for the first quarter of 2025 was $88 million, an increase of $1 million, compared to 2024. Net income increased primarily due to higher margin from regulated gas transmission and storage operations of $3 million.
Quarter Ended March 31, 2025 Compared to Quarter Ended March 31, 2024
Operating revenue increased $5 million, or 2%, for the first quarter of 2025 compared to 2024, primarily due to an increase in regulated gas transmission and storage services revenues primarily due to higher volumes of $7 million, partially offset by a decrease in variable revenue related to park and loan activity of $4 million.
Operations and maintenance increased $1 million, or 1%, for the first quarter of 2025 compared to 2024, primarily due to an increase in charges from affiliates of $2 million and an increase in services provided to affiliates of $1 million, partially offset by a decrease in materials and supplies of $3 million.
Income tax expense decreased $2 million, or 6%, for the first quarter of 2025 compared to 2024 and the effective tax rate was 25% for 2025 and 26% 2024.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of March 31, 2025, EGTS' total net liquidity was as follows (in millions):
| | | | | | | | |
Cash and cash equivalents | | $ | 124 | |
| | |
Intercompany revolving credit agreement | | 400 | |
| | |
| | |
| | |
| | |
| | |
Total net liquidity | | $ | 524 | |
| | |
Intercompany revolving credit agreement: | | |
Maturity date | | 2026 |
EGTS' operating results and capital expenditures for certain projects may be affected in future periods by impacts of ongoing macroeconomic and geopolitical events. The pace of changes in these events, including international trade policies and tariffs, has accelerated in 2025. Considerable uncertainty remains as to the ultimate outcome of these events. EGTS is unable to reliably predict the ultimate outcome or the potential impact on its business.
Operating Activities
Net cash flows from operating activities for each of the three-month periods ended March 31, 2025 and 2024 were $149 million, primarily due to the timing of payments for operating costs and other working capital adjustments, offset by lower collections from customers.
Investing Activities
Net cash flows from investing activities for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2025 and 2024 were $(34) million and $(35) million, respectively. The change is primarily due to an increase in proceeds from sales of marketable securities of $4 million, partially offset by an increase in capital expenditures of $2 million.
Financing Activities
Net cash flows from financing activities for the three-month period ended March 31, 2024 were $(93) million. Sources of cash totaled $3 million and consisted of net issuance of notes payable to Eastern Energy Gas. Uses of cash totaled $96 million and consisted of dividends paid to Eastern Energy Gas.
Future Uses of Cash
EGTS has available a variety of sources of liquidity and capital resources, both internal and external, including net cash flows from operating activities, public and private debt offerings, intercompany revolving credit agreements, capital contributions and other sources. These sources are expected to provide funds required for current operations, capital expenditures, investments, debt retirements and other capital requirements. The availability and terms under which EGTS has access to external financing depends on a variety of factors, including regulatory approvals, EGTS' credit ratings, investors' judgment of risk and conditions in the overall capital markets, including the condition of the natural gas transmission and storage industry.
Capital Expenditures
Capital expenditure needs are reviewed regularly by management and may change significantly as a result of these reviews, which may consider, among other factors, new growth projects and the timing of growth projects; changes in environmental and other rules and regulations; impacts to customer rates; outcomes of regulatory proceedings; changes in income tax laws; general business conditions; system reliability standards; the cost and efficiency of construction labor, equipment and materials; commodity prices; and the cost and availability of capital.
EGTS' historical and forecasted capital expenditures, each of which exclude amounts for non-cash equity AFUDC and other non-cash items, are as follows (in millions):
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| Three-Month Periods | | Annual |
| Ended March 31, | | Forecast |
| 2024 | | 2025 | | 2025 |
| | | | | |
Natural gas transmission and storage | $ | 2 | | | $ | 8 | | | $ | 53 | |
Other | 37 | | | 33 | | | 223 | |
Total | $ | 39 | | | $ | 41 | | | $ | 276 | |
Natural gas transmission and storage includes primarily growth capital expenditures related to planned regulated projects. Other includes primarily pipeline integrity work, automation and controls upgrades, underground storage, corrosion control, unit exchanges, compressor modifications and projects related to Pipeline Hazardous Materials Safety Administration natural gas storage rules. The amounts also include EGTS' asset modernization program, which includes projects for vintage pipeline replacement, compression replacement, pipeline assessment and underground storage integrity.
Material Cash Requirements
As of March 31, 2025, there have been no material changes in cash requirements from the information provided in Item 7 of EGTS' Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024.
Regulatory Matters
EGTS is subject to comprehensive regulation. Refer to "Regulatory Matters" in Berkshire Hathaway Energy's Part I, Item 2 of this Form 10-Q for discussion regarding EGTS' current regulatory matters.
Environmental Laws and Regulations
EGTS is subject to federal, state and local laws and regulations regarding air quality, climate change, emissions performance standards, water quality and other environmental matters that have the potential to impact its current and future operations. In addition to imposing continuing compliance obligations, these laws and regulations provide regulators with the authority to levy substantial penalties for noncompliance, including fines, injunctive relief and other sanctions. These laws and regulations are administered by various federal, state and local agencies. EGTS believes it is in material compliance with all applicable laws and regulations, although many are subject to interpretation that may ultimately be resolved by the courts. Environmental laws and regulations continue to evolve, and EGTS is unable to predict the impact of the changing laws and regulations on its operations and financial results.
Refer to "Environmental Laws and Regulations" in Berkshire Hathaway Energy's Part I, Item 2 of this Form 10-Q for additional information regarding environmental laws and regulations.
Critical Accounting Estimates
Certain accounting measurements require management to make estimates and judgments concerning transactions that will be settled several years in the future. Amounts recognized on the Consolidated Financial Statements based on such estimates involve numerous assumptions subject to varying and potentially significant degrees of judgment and uncertainty and will likely change in the future as additional information becomes available. Estimates are used for, but not limited to, the accounting for the effects of certain types of regulation, impairment of long-lived assets and income taxes. For additional discussion of EGTS' critical accounting estimates, see Item 7 of EGTS' Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024. There have been no significant changes in EGTS' assumptions regarding critical accounting estimates since December 31, 2024.
Item 3.Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
For quantitative and qualitative disclosures about market risk affecting the Registrants, see Item 7A of each Registrant's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024. Each Registrant's exposure to market risk and its management of such risk has not changed materially since December 31, 2024, except as noted below. Refer to Note 8 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements of PacifiCorp, Note 8 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements of Nevada Power and Note 7 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements of Sierra Pacific in Part I, Item 1 of this Form 10-Q for disclosure of the respective Registrant's derivative positions as of March 31, 2025.

Each such entity hereby states that there has been no change in its internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended March 31, 2025 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, its internal control over financial reporting.
PART II
Item 1.Legal Proceedings
The following disclosures reflect material updates to legal proceedings and should be read in conjunction with Item 3 of Berkshire Hathaway Energy's and PacifiCorp's Annual Reports on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024.
BERKSHIRE HATHAWAY ENERGY AND PACIFICORP
In September 2020, a severe weather event with high winds, low humidity and warm temperatures contributed to several major wildfires, including the 2020 Wildfires, which resulted in real and personal property and natural resource damage, personal injuries and loss of life and widespread power outages in Oregon and Northern California. The wildfires spread across certain parts of PacifiCorp's service territory and surrounding areas across multiple counties in Oregon and California, including Siskiyou County, California; Jackson County, Oregon; Douglas County, Oregon; Marion County, Oregon; Lincoln County, Oregon; and Klamath County, Oregon, burning over 500,000 acres in aggregate. Third-party reports for these wildfires indicate over 2,000 structures destroyed, including residences; several structures damaged; multiple individuals injured; and several fatalities.
In July 2022, the 2022 McKinney Fire began in the Oak Knoll Ranger District of the Klamath National Forest in Siskiyou County, California located in PacifiCorp's service territory, burning over 60,000 acres. Third-party reports indicate that the 2022 McKinney Fire resulted in 11 structures damaged; 185 structures destroyed, including residences; 12 injuries; and four fatalities.
As described below, a significant number of complaints and demands alleging similar claims have been filed in Oregon and California related to the Wildfires. Amounts sought in outstanding complaints and demands filed in Oregon and in certain demands made in California totaled approximately $51 billion, excluding any doubling or trebling of damages or punitive damages included in the complaints. Generally, the complaints filed in California do not specify damages sought and are excluded from this amount. Of the $51 billion, $48 billion represents the economic and noneconomic damages sought in the James mass complaints described below. For class actions, amounts specified by the plaintiffs in the complaints include amounts based on estimates of the potential class size, which ultimately may be significantly greater than estimated. Additionally, damages are not limited to the amounts specified in the initially filed complaints as plaintiffs are frequently allowed to amend their complaints to add additional damages and amounts awarded in a court proceeding may be significantly greater than the damages specified. Oregon law provides for doubling of economic and property damages in the event the defendant is found to have acted with gross negligence, recklessness, willfulness or malice. Oregon law provides for trebling of damages associated with timber, shrubs and produce in the event the defendant is determined to have willfully and intentionally trespassed.
The following map illustrates the general vicinity of the Wildfires.
Investigations
In April 2023, the U.S. Department of Agriculture Forest Service ("USFS") issued its report of investigation into a wildland fire that began in the Opal Creek wilderness outside of the Santiam Canyon that was first reported on August 16, 2020 ("Beachie Creek Fire"), approximately three weeks prior to the September 2020 wind event described above. In March 2025, PacifiCorp received the Oregon Department of Forestry's final investigation report on the Santiam Canyon fires ("ODF's Report"), which concluded that embers from the pre-existing Beachie Creek Fire caused 12 fires within the Santiam Canyon. The ODF's Report also found that PacifiCorp's power lines did not contribute to the overall spread of fire into the Santiam Canyon even though its power lines ignited seven spot fires within the Santiam Canyon that were each suppressed.
The Beachie Creek fire that spread into the Santiam Canyon burned approximately 193,000 acres; the South Obenchain fire burned approximately 33,000 acres; the Echo Mountain Complex fire burned approximately 3,000 acres; and the 242 fire burned approximately 14,000 acres. The James cases described below are associated with the Beachie Creek (Santiam Canyon), South Obenchain, Echo Mountain Complex and 242 fires, which are four distinct fires located hundreds of miles apart.
Investigations into the causes and origins of the Wildfires are ongoing. For more information regarding certain investigative reports from the USFS and the Oregon Department of Forestry ("ODF") and certain legal proceedings affecting Berkshire Hathaway Energy, refer to Note 9 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements of Berkshire Hathaway Energy in Part I, Item 1 of this Form 10-Q, and PacifiCorp, refer to Note 10 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements of PacifiCorp in Part I, Item 1 of this Form 10-Q.

2020 Wildfires
As of the date of this filing, PacifiCorp has made settlement payments associated with individual plaintiffs, wrongful death claims, insurance subrogation claims, commercial timber claims and certain government claims associated with the 2020 Wildfires totaling $1,183 million. The $1,183 million in settlements were comprised of $324 million associated with the James related fires for plaintiffs who opted out of the James class, insurance subrogation claims and for plaintiffs to certain of the consolidated cases; $252 million associated with the Slater fire; $605 million associated with the Archie Creek fire; and $2 million associated with other fires. For more information, refer to description of the 2020 Wildfires complaints and specific wildfires below.
2022 McKinney Fire
As of the date of this filing, PacifiCorp has made settlement payments associated with individual plaintiffs, wrongful death claims, insurance subrogation claims, commercial timber claims, private timber claims and certain government claims associated with the 2022 McKinney Fire totaling $150 million. For more information, refer to description of the 2022 McKinney Fire complaints below.
2020 Oregon Wildfires, Excluding the Northern California and Southern Oregon Slater Fire ("Slater Fire")
As described below, a significant number of complaints on behalf of plaintiffs associated with the 2020 Wildfires have been filed in Oregon in addition to those described below for the Slater Fire. The plaintiffs generally allege: (i) negligence due in part to alleged failure to comply with certain Oregon statutes and administrative rules, including those issued by the OPUC; (ii) gross negligence alleged in the form of willful, wanton and reckless disregard of known risks to the public; (iii) trespass; (iv) nuisance; (v) inverse condemnation; (vi) pre- and post-judgment interest; and (vii) reasonable attorney fees, investigation costs and expert witness fees. The complaints generally assert claims for: (i) noneconomic damages, including mental suffering, emotional distress, inconvenience and interference with normal and usual activities; (ii) damages for real and personal property and other economic losses; (iii) double the amount of property and economic damages; (iv) treble damages for specific costs associated with loss of forestry, trees and shrubbery; and (v) double the amount of damages for the costs of litigation and reforestation. Certain complaints include wrongful death claims as described below. The plaintiffs generally demand a trial by jury and reserve their right to further amend their complaints to allege claims for punitive damages.
James Cases
On September 30, 2020, the original James class action complaint against PacifiCorp was filed by Oregon residents and businesses who sought to represent a class of all Oregon citizens and entities whose real or personal property was harmed beginning on September 7, 2020, by wildfires in Oregon allegedly caused by PacifiCorp. On November 3, 2021, the plaintiffs filed an amended complaint to limit the class to include Oregon citizens allegedly impacted by the Echo Mountain Complex, South Obenchain, 242 and Santiam Canyon fires, as well as to add claims for noneconomic damages. The amended complaint alleged that PacifiCorp's assets contributed to the Oregon wildfires occurring on or after September 7, 2020, and that PacifiCorp acted with gross negligence, among other things. The amended complaint seeks damages similar to those described above, including not less than $600 million of economic damages and in excess of $1 billion of noneconomic damages for the plaintiffs and the class. Numerous cases were consolidated into the original James complaint as described below.
On April 29, May 16, May 31, July 31 and September 11, 2024, and January 14, 2025, six separate mass complaints against PacifiCorp naming 1,000, 100, 265, 78, 93 and 55 individual class members, respectively, were filed in Multnomah County Circuit Court Oregon captioned Shane A Henson et al. v. PacifiCorp, Karen Andersen et al. v. PacifiCorp, Vanessa Alexander et al. v. PacifiCorp, Emily Broderick et al. v. PacifiCorp, Sergio Garcia Montes et al. v. PacifiCorp and Butte Falls Family Ranch, LLC, respectively, each referencing the original James case as the lead case. Complaints for five of the plaintiffs in the mass complaints were subsequently dismissed. The James mass complaints make damages only allegations seeking for each individual class member $5 million of economic damages, $25 million of noneconomic damages and punitive damages equal to 0.25 times the amount of economic and noneconomic damages. The James mass complaints also assert doubling of economic damages for each individual class member. The class members demand a trial by jury. Refer to "James Court Activity" section below for information regarding additional damages phase trials.
On December 31, 2024, a complaint against PacifiCorp was filed, captioned Frank Timber Resources, Inc. et al. v. PacifiCorp, referencing the original James case number as the lead case, ("Frank Timber") in Multnomah County Circuit Court Oregon by four plaintiffs. Similar to the mass complaints described above, the complaint makes damages-only allegations seeking approximately $12 million of economic damages, doubling of economic damages and punitive damages equal to 0.25 times the amount of economic damages. The plaintiffs demand a trial by jury.
On December 31, 2024, a complaint against PacifiCorp was filed, captioned Theodore and Deana Freres et al. v. PacifiCorp, referencing the original James case number as the lead case, ("Theodore and Deana Freres") in Multnomah County Circuit Court Oregon by four plaintiffs. Similar to the mass complaints described above, the complaint makes damages-only allegations seeking approximately $1 million of economic damages, doubling of economic damages and punitive damages equal to 0.25 times the amount of economic damages. The plaintiffs demand a trial by jury.
As a result of the six mass complaints, subsequent dismissals and the two additional complaints filed in December 2024 with respect to the original James case described above, active class plaintiffs in James total 1,594 for which per plaintiff damages sought vary. As described below under "James Court Activity," class plaintiffs selected for trial are required to amend their complaints to address facts specific to their complaints, generally resulting in updates to the amount of economic and noneconomic damages sought. Damages specified in the original mass complaints remain applicable to substantially all of the class plaintiffs.
As described above under "Investigations," in March 2025, PacifiCorp received the ODF's Report, which concluded that while PacifiCorp's power lines ignited various spot fires within the Santiam Canyon, every such ignition was suppressed and did not contribute to the overall spread of the Beachie Creek Fire into the Santiam Canyon. Approximately 60% of the named plaintiffs in the James mass complaints are associated with the Santiam Canyon fires. On March 20, 2025, PacifiCorp filed a motion to stay the remaining James damages phase trials described below in consideration of the ODF's Report described above under "Investigations." The motion was heard by the court and was denied on April 18, 2025.
James Trial Activity
In June 2023, a jury verdict was issued in the first James trial finding PacifiCorp's conduct grossly negligent, reckless and willful as to each of the 17 named plaintiffs and the entire class. In January 2024, March 2024, February 2025, March 2025 and April 2025, jury verdicts were issued in five separate damages phase trials, awarding damages to additional trial plaintiffs in the James class. Limited judgments and money awards were entered into the court for the June 2023, January 2024 and March 2024 verdicts, awarding in aggregate $210 million of damages, including $32 million of doubled economic damages, $147 million of noneconomic damages and $41 million of punitive damages based on a 0.25 multiplier applied to economic and noneconomic damages, partially offset by insurance proceeds received by plaintiffs. Limited judgments and money awards for the February 2025 verdict were entered in April 2025, totaling $45 million of damages, including $8 million of doubled economic damages, $32 million of noneconomic damages and $9 million of punitive damages based on a 0.25 multiplier applied to economic and noneconomic damages, partially offset by insurance proceeds received by plaintiffs. Limited judgments and money awards for the March 2025 and April 2025 verdicts described below have not yet been entered into the court and are expected to result in an additional $67 million of damages, including $10 million of doubled economic damages, $45 million of noneconomic damages and $12 million of punitive damages based on a 0.25 multiplier of the economic and noneconomic damages. PacifiCorp expects the money awards for the March 2025 and April 2025 verdicts to also be partially offset by insurance proceeds received by plaintiffs.
In January 2024, PacifiCorp filed a notice of appeal associated with the June 2023 verdict in James, including whether the case can proceed as a class action. PacifiCorp amended its January 2024 appeal of the June 2023 James verdict to include the January 2024 and March 2024 jury verdicts. The appeals process and further actions could take several years. Refer to "James Court Activity" below regarding the filing of PacifiCorp's opening appellate brief.
In February 2025, the jury for the third James damages phase trial described below under "James Court Activity" awarded seven plaintiffs $32 million of noneconomic damages in addition to $4 million of economic damages stipulated for eight plaintiffs prior to the trial. In accordance with Oregon law, plaintiffs asked the court to double the economic damages to $8 million after the verdict. PacifiCorp expects the court will award the doubling of economic damages and also increase the award for $9 million in punitive damages by applying the 0.25 multiplier of economic and noneconomic damages consistent with the June 2023 James verdict. PacifiCorp filed a motion with the Multnomah County Circuit Court Oregon requesting the court offset the damage awards by deducting insurance proceeds received by any of the eight plaintiffs. In April 2025, the Multnomah County Circuit Court entered a limited judgment that awards approximately $45 million, representing damages as discussed above, partially offset by insurance proceeds received by plaintiffs. PacifiCorp intends to appeal the jury's damage awards associated with the February 2025 jury verdict.
In March 2025, the jury for the fourth James damages phase trial described below under "James Court Activity" seven plaintiffs over $2 million of economic damages and five plaintiffs $34 million of noneconomic damages. PacifiCorp expects the court to award doubling of the economic damages to $5 million and also to increase the award for $9 million in punitive damages by applying the 0.25 multiplier of economic and noneconomic damages consistent with the June 2023 James verdict. As a result, PacifiCorp expects the total award for the seven plaintiffs to be approximately $48 million. PacifiCorp filed a motion with the Multnomah County Circuit Court Oregon requesting the court offset the damage awards by deducting insurance proceeds received by any of the plaintiffs. PacifiCorp intends to appeal the jury's damage awards associated with the March 2025 jury verdict once judgment is entered.
In April 2025, the jury for the fifth James damages phase trial described below under "James Court activity" awarded nine plaintiffs $11 million of noneconomic damages, in addition to over $2 million of economic damages that were stipulated prior to the trial. PacifiCorp expects the court to award doubling of the economic damages to $5 million and also to increase the award for $3 million in punitive damages by applying the 0.25 multiplier of economic and noneconomic damages consistent with the June 2023 James verdict. As a result, PacifiCorp expects the total award for the nine plaintiffs to be approximately $19 million. PacifiCorp filed a motion with the Multnomah County Circuit Court Oregon requesting the court offset the damage awards by deducting insurance proceeds received by any of the plaintiffs. PacifiCorp intends to appeal the jury's damage awards associated with the April 2025 jury verdict once judgment is entered.
Additional damages phase trials have been scheduled in 2025 as described below.
James Court Activity
In accordance with the Multnomah County Circuit Court Oregon's October 2024 case management order, nine damages phase trials will be held in 2025. The trials will adjudicate the damages of up to 10 plaintiffs per trial. The first of these trials were held in February, March and April 2025, while the remaining are scheduled to begin May 12, June 2, July 7, September 9, October 6 and December 7, 2025. As of March 2025, plaintiffs have been selected for all nine trials. A hearing is scheduled for May 9, 2025, to evaluate scheduling additional damages phase trials in 2026. The jury verdicts for the first three of the damages phase trials were issued in February, March and April 2025, as described above. Within 10 days after the verdict is rendered in the April 21, 2025 trial, and within 30 days after the verdict is rendered in the July 7 and December 7, 2025 trials, respectively, the parties are required to engage in global mediation with the objective of resolving the claims of the remaining absent class members. As described above under "James Cases," in March 2025, PacifiCorp filed a motion to stay the additional scheduled damages phase trials in consideration of the ODF's Report. This motion was denied on April 18, 2025.
From October 2024 through March 2025, various plaintiffs' counsel filed motions with the Multnomah County Circuit Court Oregon for substitution of lead counsel for nearly 1,500 James class members, including a minor number of plaintiffs included in the 1,594 plaintiffs in the James mass complaints described above. To date, substitution motions covering substantially all of the nearly 1,500 plaintiffs have been granted.
On September 13, 2024, PacifiCorp filed a motion to make the James mass complaints more definite and certain. On October 4, 2024, in response to PacifiCorp's motion, the Multnomah County Circuit Court Oregon issued an order granting, in part, the motion. The order requires the plaintiffs selected for the nine damages phase trials scheduled in 2025 to file amended complaints alleging the specific facts that support their claims for economic and noneconomic damages. To date, no amended complaints seek damages in excess of the amounts sought in the original mass complaints.
On April 1, 2025, PacifiCorp filed its opening brief with the Oregon Court of Appeals in connection with its appeal of the June 2023 James verdict and the January and March 2024 verdicts for the first two James damages phase trials. In the opening brief, PacifiCorp addresses numerous procedural and legal issues, including that the class certification is improper due to the plaintiffs being impacted by distinct fires with independent ignition points that were hundreds of miles apart; awarding of non-economic damages is not allowed under Oregon law; plaintiffs failed to prove that PacifiCorp caused harm to every class member; and jury instructions applied incorrect legal standards in assessing class-wide evidence and individual claims. Additionally, PacifiCorp incorporated the ODF's Report into its opening appellate brief. Various parties who are not party to the James case have filed supportive amicus briefs with the court. Plaintiffs' reply brief and cross-appeal is due May 20, 2025.
James Consolidated Cases
The following cases were consolidated into the original James case:
Amended Salter filed August 20, 2021, in Multnomah County Circuit Court Oregon by approximately 97 individuals. The complaint seeks damages similar to those described above, including economic damages not to exceed $150 million and noneconomic damages not to exceed $500 million.
Amended Allen filed September 2, 2021, in Multnomah County Circuit Court Oregon by approximately five individuals. The Allen case seeks damages similar to those described above, including $8 million in economic damages and $24 million in noneconomic damages related to the Beachie Creek Fire.
Amended Dietrich filed September 6, 2022, in Multnomah County Circuit Court Oregon by six Oregon residents individually and on behalf of a class defined to include residents of, business owners in, real or personal property owners in and any other individuals physically present in specified Oregon counties as of September 7, 2020 who experienced any harm, damage or loss as a result of the Santiam Canyon, Echo Mountain Complex, 242 or South Obenchain fires. The amended complaint seeks $400 million in economic damages and $500 million in noneconomic damages. The Dietrich case is currently stayed due to plaintiffs' motion to consolidate the case into James.
Bell filed September 7, 2022, in Multnomah County Circuit Court Oregon by 59 plaintiffs seeking $35 million in damages, including economic and noneconomic damages.
Ashley Andersen et al. v. PacifiCorp and Judith O'Keefe v. PacifiCorp and Consolidated Cases
As a result of settlements reached in 2024 for the Andersen et al. v. PacifiCorp consolidated cases and the Judith O'Keefe v. PacifiCorp consolidated cases, the complaints have been resolved but for one remaining plaintiff in Andersen and two remaining plaintiffs in O'Keefe in the complaints described below.
The Weathers complaint was filed in Multnomah County Circuit Court Oregon by approximately 46 plaintiffs and consolidated into the Andersen case with allegations and damages similar to those described above for the Andersen case, seeking economic damages of approximately $83 million and noneconomic damages of approximately $83 million. As described above, settlement was reached for all but one plaintiff in Weathers.
The Bogle complaint was filed September 1, 2022, in Multnomah County Circuit Court Oregon by approximately 39 plaintiffs seeking economic damages of approximately $83 million and noneconomic damages of approximately $83 million and consolidated into the O'Keefe case. As described above, settlement was reached for all but two of the plaintiffs in Bogle.
Other Cases
Several other complaints were filed against PacifiCorp associated with the 2020 Wildfires for which several settlements were reached as described above. However, certain complaints remain outstanding as described below.
On September 1, 2022, a complaint against PacifiCorp associated with the Archie Creek Fire was filed, captioned Leonard Mitchell Lee et al. v. PacifiCorp, ("Lee") in Multnomah County Circuit Court Oregon by approximately five plaintiffs, seeking approximately $25 million in economic and noneconomic damages and makes allegations similar to those described above. No trial date has been set. In June 2024, PacifiCorp reached an agreement in principle with three of the Lee plaintiffs. In 2025, the court dismissed the complaints for the remaining two plaintiffs.
A group of subrogation insurers that filed complaints against PacifiCorp associated with the Archie Creek Fire agreed to a mediator's proposal under which PacifiCorp will pay 51.75% of the total claims paid and to be paid by the carriers related to the Archie Creek Fire. During 2022, PacifiCorp paid $24 million to the subrogation insurers. During 2023 and January 2024, PacifiCorp paid additional amounts to the subrogation insurers and ultimately expects to pay a total of $28 million to the subrogation insurers. While some of the subrogation complaints have been fully dismissed, the following remain active:
The Lexington complaint was filed against PacifiCorp by two insurers in Douglas County Circuit Court Oregon seeking $14 million in damages for negligence and, as amended on February 3, 2022, makes allegations similar to those described above. The Lexington case was partially dismissed following settlement, but general judgment of dismissal has not yet been entered because certain plaintiffs remain active.
The Ace American Insurance Co. complaint was filed against PacifiCorp by 15 insurers in Douglas County Circuit Court Oregon on August 25, 2022, seeking approximately $24 million in damages for negligence. The Ace American Insurance Co. case was partially dismissed following settlement, but general judgment of dismissal has not yet been entered because certain plaintiffs remain active.
Winery Cases
Certain Oregon vineyards have filed lawsuits alleging economic damages associated with the 2020 Wildfires. See Elk Cove Vineyards, Inc. v. PacifiCorp; Willamette Valley Vineyards Inc v. PacifiCorp; Sokol Blosser, Ltd. et. al v. PacifiCorp; and Lange Winery LLC, et al. v. PacifiCorp. All of the cases are in the initial stages of discovery. Additional details are provided below.
On July 14, 2023, a complaint against PacifiCorp was filed, captioned Elk Cove Vineyards, Inc. v. PacifiCorp, in Oregon Circuit Court in Yamhill County, Oregon, by one plaintiff, seeking approximately $3 million in economic damages associated with the Santiam Canyon, South Obenchain, Echo Mountain Complex, 242 and Archie Creek fires and makes allegations similar to those described above. On March 13, 2024, the complaint was amended to add 12 plaintiffs, with all plaintiffs collectively seeking approximately $25 million in economic damages. The Elk Cove Vineyards, Inc. case is set for trial March 2, 2026 through March 31, 2026.
On July 24, 2023, a complaint against PacifiCorp was filed, captioned Willamette Valley Vineyards Inc v. PacifiCorp, in Oregon Circuit Court in Marion County, Oregon, ("Marion County Circuit Court Oregon") seeking approximately $3 million in economic damages associated with the Santiam Canyon, South Obenchain, Echo Mountain Complex, 242 and Archie Creek fires and makes allegations similar to those described above. On March 29, 2024, the complaint was amended to add four plaintiffs, with all plaintiffs collectively seeking approximately $4 million in economic damages. On February 3, 2025, the complaint was further amended to add an unspecified amount of punitive damages. The Marion County Circuit Court Oregon denied plaintiffs' motion to apply the negligence finding from the June 2023 James verdict to the Willamette Valley Vineyards Inc case but provided plaintiffs the option to refile the motion in the future. The Willamette Valley Vineyards Inc case is set for trial January 12, 2026 through February 6, 2026.
On January 18, 2024, a complaint against PacifiCorp was filed, captioned Sokol Blosser, Ltd. et al. v. PacifiCorp, ("Sokol Blosser") in Multnomah County Circuit Court Oregon by approximately nine plaintiffs, seeking approximately $20 million in economic damages associated with the Santiam Canyon, South Obenchain, Echo Mountain Complex, 242 and Archie Creek fires and makes allegations similar to those described above. On October 1, 2024, the complaint was amended to add 25 plaintiffs with all plaintiffs collectively seeking approximately $90 million in economic damages. On April 7, 2025, the complaint was further amended to add punitive damages in an unspecified amount. On April 4, 2025, the Multnomah County Circuit Court Oregon denied plaintiffs' motion to apply the negligence finding from the June 2023 James verdict to the Sokol Blosser case, indicating that plaintiffs have the burden of proof to demonstrate causation. The Sokol Blosser case is set for trial November 3, 2025 through December 9, 2025.
On May 24, 2024, a complaint against PacifiCorp was filed, captioned Lange Winery LLC et al. v. PacifiCorp, ("Lange Winery") in Multnomah County Circuit Court Oregon by approximately 36 plaintiffs, seeking approximately $51 million in economic damages associated with the Santiam Canyon, South Obenchain, Echo Mountain Complex, 242 and Archie Creek fires and makes allegations similar to those described above. On April 10, 2025 the Multnomah County Circuit Court Oregon denied plaintiffs' motion to apply the negligence finding from the June 2023 James verdict to the Lange Winery case. While the court did not rule on the admissibility of the ODF's Report, it acknowledged that inconsistent findings exist as to the causation of the Santiam Canyon fires as a result of the report. The court also noted that the plaintiffs are wineries located many miles away from the wildfires who allege that their grape harvests were damaged or destroyed by the traveling smoke, far outside the wildfire boundaries at issue in James. The Lange Winery case is set for trial May 4, 2026, through June 12, 2026.
On October 31, 2024, a complaint against PacifiCorp was filed, captioned The Lumos Wine Co. et al. v. PacifiCorp, ("Lumos") in Multnomah County Circuit Court Oregon by approximately six plaintiffs, seeking approximately $2 million in economic damages associated with the Santiam Canyon, South Obenchain, Echo Mountain Complex, 242 and Archie Creek fires and makes allegations similar to those described above.
United States and State of Oregon – Loss and Damages to Federal and State Lands – Oregon Fires
In 2023, PacifiCorp received correspondence from the U.S. Department of Justice ("USDOJ"), representing the U.S. Department of the Interior, Bureau of Land Management, Bureau of Indian Affairs and USFS, regarding the potential recovery of certain costs and damages alleged to have occurred to federal lands from the Archie Creek and Susan Creek fires. The USDOJ provided a damages estimate of approximately $625 million for mediation purposes only, which included costs and damages relating to damaged timber and improvements; reforestation; coordination with hydropower license, suppression costs and other assessment costs; and cleanup and rehabilitation costs. The amounts alleged for natural resource damage from these fires do not include intangible environmental and natural resource damages that the U.S. could potentially seek to recover if this matter was fully litigated, nor do they include multipliers which the agencies are allegedly entitled to collect under pertinent federal regulations, under which, for example, minimum damages for trespass to timber managed by the U.S. Department of Interior are twice the fair market value of the resource at the time of the trespass, or three times if the violation was willful. While PacifiCorp participated in mediation with the USDOJ and continues to seek resolution of the dispute, the USDOJ filed a formal complaint against PacifiCorp as described below.
In 2023, PacifiCorp also received correspondence from the Oregon Department of Justice ("ODOJ"), representing the State of Oregon, regarding the potential recovery of losses and damages to state lands from the Archie Creek and Susan Creek fires. The ODOJ provided a damage estimate of approximately $109 million for mediation purposes only, which included losses and damages relating to the sheltering of, and assistance to, affected Oregonians; fire control and extinguishment costs; timber damage across 39 acres of Oregon forestland; losses and damages at the Rock Creek Fish Hatchery; road and highway damages; and other costs.
In 2023, the ODF sent demand notices for fire suppression costs totaling $2 million for three separate ignition points associated with the 2020 Wildfires. On May 30, 2024, PacifiCorp reached settlement with the ODF for suppression costs associated with one of these ignition points for less than $1 million.
In December 2024, in conjunction with the USDOJ correspondence for the Archie Creek fire described above, a complaint against PacifiCorp was filed, captioned the United States of America v. PacifiCorp, in U.S. District Court, District of Oregon, Portland Division, seeking various unquantified damages and a jury trial. The civil cover sheet accompanying the complaint demands damages estimated to exceed $900 million, which is greater than the damages included in the original correspondence from the USDOJ due to the addition of estimates for intangible environmental and natural resource damages. PacifiCorp responded to the complaint on February 18, 2025.
On February 19, 2025, PacifiCorp received a demand from the ODF for $2 million in fire suppression costs associated with the Oregon portion of the Slater Fire.
On April 4, 2025, PacifiCorp received a demand from the ODF for $11 million in fire suppression costs associated with the South Obenchain fire.
On April 21, 2025, PacifiCorp received a demand from the ODF for $4 million in fire suppression costs associated with the Echo Mountain and Kimberling Mountain fires.
PacifiCorp is actively cooperating with both the USDOJ and ODOJ on resolving these alleged claims.
2020 Slater Fire California and Oregon Complaints and Demands
A significant number of complaints on behalf of plaintiffs associated with the Slater Fire were filed in Oregon and California. The complaints generally allege: (i) inverse condemnation; (ii) negligence; (iii) trespass; (iv) nuisance; and (v) violation of certain sections of the California Public Utilities Code and the California Health & Safety Code and request a jury trial and seek various damages. The damages sought generally include: (i) economic damages; (ii) noneconomic damages; (iii) doubling of economic damages; (iv) punitive damages; (v) pre- and post-judgment interest; and (vi) attorneys' fees and other costs. Substantially all of the complaints have been resolved.
Claims with one plaintiff in the Hillman complaint filed January 29, 2021, and with one plaintiff in the Nixon complaint filed August 31, 2022, against PacifiCorp in California Superior Court, Sacramento County, California ("Sacramento County Superior Court California") and previously part of the resolved consolidated Hitchcock et al. v. PacifiCorp cases remain outstanding.
United States – Loss and Damages to Federal Lands – Slater Fire
PacifiCorp received a notice of indebtedness from the USFS indicating that PacifiCorp owes $356 million for fire suppression costs, natural resource damages and burned area emergency response costs incurred by the USFS associated with the Slater Fire in California. The notice further indicates that the alleged amounts owed may not include all environmental damages to which the USFS may be entitled and which the U.S. may seek to recover if further action is taken to resolve the debt. Additional charges for interest, penalties and administrative costs may also be sought associated with amounts considered overdue. In January 2024, PacifiCorp received correspondence from the USDOJ indicating its intent to litigate the matter because PacifiCorp has not paid the $356 million demand. PacifiCorp is actively cooperating with the USDOJ on resolving these alleged claims, including through the pursuit of alternative dispute resolution.
2022 McKinney Fire
Numerous complaints associated with the 2022 McKinney Fire have been filed in Sacramento County Superior Court California on behalf of over 300 plaintiffs, including multiple insurers, as described below.
