Structure of transaction PGE’s Proposed Corporate Structure Update Transaction Description Illustrative Pro Forma Structure(1) PacifiCorp, a subsidiary of Berkshire Hathaway Energy, is a regulated electric utility serving customers in portions of UT, OR, WY, WA, ID and CA PGE has agreed to acquire select PacifiCorp utility assets serving in WA Regulatory approvals required in all Portland General and PacifiCorp jurisdictions and from FERC Upon closing, PGE and Manulife IM will form a joint venture to own the regulated utility in WA, which PGE will operate Closing expected to occur following an approximately 12 month regulatory approval process In July 2025, PGE proposed a corporate structure update that would form a Holding Company and create Portland General Transmission(2) If the Holding Company is approved, the Washington Utility will become a subsidiary of HoldCo(3) at closing PGE HoldCo (2) Manulife IM PGE Shareholders 100% 100% 49% PGE Oregon WA Utility PGE Transmission Co 51% Structure shown for illustrative purposes, actual corporate structure may differ upon closing of the transaction. PGE’s proposed corporate structure update (docket UM 2385) includes a target final order date of June 25, 2026. Management cannot predict the outcome of the proceeding and all items are subject to OPUC approval. The successful completion of the transaction is not dependent on the establishment of a Holding Company. Without Holding Company formation, transaction would result in the creation of an operating subsidiary that consolidates to the Portland General Electric operating company

Management cannot predict the outcome of the proceeding and all items are subject to OPUC approval. The successful completion of the transaction is not dependent on the establishment of a Holding Company. Without Holding Company formation, necessary financing would occur at the PGE Oregon Operating Company utilizing a combination of debt, equity or equity content securities.

Washington regulatory construct Multiyear rate plans (MYRP): 2021 legislation drove reform of the regulatory framework to incorporate MYRPs of 2-4 years, and performance-based ratemaking; the reforms enhance earnings stability and reduce filing frequency Fuel cost recovery: power cost adjustment mechanisms allow utilities to true-up actual fuel and market costs, limiting exposure to price volatility Purchased power cost recovery: ensures utilities can recover market purchases and PPA costs needed to meet load, supporting stable margins (includes deadband + sharing mechanisms) Return adders for distributed generation investments and energy efficiency: financial incentive for utilities to invest in local energy projects or help customers use energy more efficiently Securitization for early thermal retirements: enables low-cost financing of undepreciated coal/thermal plant balances, lowering stranded-cost risk and customer impacts Securitization for costs related to disasters or emergencies: helps utilities appropriately manage costs from unexpected natural disasters 24 Washington Utilities and Transportation Commission (WUTC) is a three-member commission appointed by Washington’s Governor and confirmed by the state senate for 6-year terms General rate cases utilize historical test year Washington regulatory framework for utilities has been modernized in recent years and includes a number of supportive provisions      


Slide 25

This presentation contains certain non-GAAP measures, such as adjusted earnings, adjusted EPS and adjusted earnings guidance. These non-GAAP financial measures exclude significant items that are generally not related to our ongoing business activities, are infrequent in nature, or both. PGE believes that excluding the effects of these items provides an alternative measure of the Company’s comparative earnings per share and enables investors to evaluate the Company’s operating financial performance trends, exclusive of items that are not normally associated with ongoing operations. Management utilizes non-GAAP measures to assess the Company’s current and forecasted performance, and for communications with shareholders, analysts and investors. Non-GAAP financial measures are supplementary information that should be considered in addition to, but not as a substitute for, the information prepared in accordance with GAAP. Items in the periods presented, which PGE believes impact the comparability of comparative earnings and do not represent ongoing operating financial performance, include the following: 2025: Business transformation and optimization expenses, including strategic advisory, workforce realignment and corporate structure update costs 2024: Non-deferrable Reliability Contingency Event (RCE) costs resulting from the January 2024 winter storm Due to the forward-looking nature of PGE’s non-GAAP adjusted earnings guidance, and the inherently unpredictable nature of items and events which could lead to the recognition of non-GAAP adjustments (such as, but not limited to, regulatory disallowances or extreme weather events), management is unable to estimate the occurrence or value of specific items requiring adjustment for future periods, which could potentially impact the Company’s GAAP earnings. Therefore, management cannot provide a reconciliation of non-GAAP adjusted earnings per share guidance to the most comparable GAAP financial measure without unreasonable effort. For the same reasons, management is unable to address the probable significance of unavailable information. PGE’s reconciliation of non-GAAP earnings for the three months ended June 30, 2025, the three months ended September 30, 2025, the three months ended December 31, 2025, the year ended December 31, 2025, the three months ended March 31, 2024 and the year ended December 31, 2024 are on the following slide.
