Item 2.02 Results of Operations and Financial Condition

On February 26, 2025, FirstEnergy Corp. (“FirstEnergy” or the “Company”) issued a press release (the “Release”) announcing its financial results for the three months and full year ended December 31, 2024, providing earnings guidance for full year ended December 31, 2025, and introducing a compound annual growth rate through the Company’s five-year planning period. A copy of the Release is included as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.

The Company has presented certain financial information in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) and also on a non-GAAP basis. Management uses these non-GAAP financial measures to evaluate the Company’s and its segments’ performance and manage its operations and frequently references these non-GAAP financial measures in its decision-making, using them to facilitate historical and ongoing performance comparisons. Management believes that the non-GAAP financial measures included in Exhibit 99.1, as well as Exhibits 99.2 and 99.3, referenced below, provide consistent and comparable measures of performance of its businesses on an ongoing basis. Management also believes that such measures are useful to other interested parties to understand performance trends and evaluate the Company against its peer group by presenting period-over-period operating results without the effect of certain adjustments that may not be consistent or comparable across periods or across the Company’s peer group. The Company has provided, where possible without unreasonable effort, quantitative reconciliations of the non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures in the tables on page 5 of the Release.

The information set forth in and incorporated into this Item 2.02 of this Current Report on Form 8-K is being furnished pursuant to Item 2.02 of Form 8-K and shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section, nor shall it be deemed incorporated by reference into any of the Company’s filings under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) or the Exchange Act, whether made before or after the date hereof and regardless of any general incorporation language in such filings, except to the extent expressly set forth by specific reference in such a filing.

Item 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure

In connection with the Release, the Company also made available FirstEnergy’s 4Q 2024 Strategic and Financial Highlights (the “Highlights”) and latest annual investor FactBook (the “FactBook”), which are attached as Exhibit 99.2 and Exhibit 99.3, respectively, to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated herein by reference. The Highlights and FactBook are available on the Company’s website, located at investors.firstenergycorp.com. Website addresses are included as inactive textual references only. Information on the Company’s website is not, and will not be deemed to be, a part of this Current Report on Form 8-K or incorporated into any other filings the Company may make with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Important information may be disseminated initially or exclusively via the Company’s Investor Relations website; investors should consult the site to access this information.

The information set forth in and incorporated into this Item 7.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K is being furnished pursuant to Item 7.01 of Form 8-K and shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Exchange Act, or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section, nor shall it be deemed incorporated by reference into any of the Company’s filings under the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, whether made before or after the date hereof and regardless of any general incorporation language in such filings, except to the extent expressly set forth by specific reference in such a filing. The furnishing of this Item 7.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K shall not be deemed an admission as to the materiality of any information herein that is required to be disclosed solely by reason of Regulation FD.

FirstEnergy Announces Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2024 Financial Results

Reports full year 2024 GAAP earnings of $1.70 per share and Operating (non-GAAP) earnings of $2.63 per share, within guidance range

Customer-focused capital investments of $4.5 billion in 2024 to improve grid reliability and resiliency and support the energy transition represent a 20% increase over 2023

Expands Energize365 capital investment program through 2029 with planned capital investments of $28 billion, an 8% increase from previous five-year plan, resulting in anticipated 9% rate base growth

Introduces 2025 Core (non-GAAP) earnings guidance and a targeted 6-8% compound annual Core earnings growth rate through the five-year planning period

AKRON, Ohio – FirstEnergy Corp. (NYSE: FE) today reported full year 2024 GAAP earnings from continuing operations of $978 million, or $1.70 per basic and diluted share, on revenue of $13.5 billion. This compares to 2023 GAAP earnings from continuing operations of $1,123 million, or $1.96 per basic and diluted share, on revenue of $12.9 billion. GAAP results for both periods reflect the impact of special items listed below. Operating (non-GAAP) earnings* were $2.63 per share in 2024, within the company’s guidance range. In 2023, Operating (non-GAAP) earnings were $2.56 per share.

“In 2024, we implemented tremendous structural change to position FirstEnergy for long-term success as a premier electric company,” said Brian X. Tierney, FirstEnergy Board Chair, President and Chief Executive Officer. “We redesigned our operating model to better support the impactful work we do at the local level and assembled a strong and experienced leadership team charged with delivering superior service to our 6 million customers. We also


2
put the power of our stronger financial position behind a comprehensive capital plan that can capture the immense opportunities to address customers’ needs, now and in the future.

“In addition, we completed rate reviews and formula rate filings for 83% of our rate base since 2023 and resolved several legacy issues,” Tierney continued. “Together, these milestones represent a multi-year transformation that strengthened FirstEnergy’s foundation, improved our financial profile and significantly derisked our business.

“During this time, the underlying fundamentals of our core business have improved significantly. We believe, however, that investors have not fully appreciated our success because of the volatility in our unregulated legacy investment in Signal Peak, which has experienced sharp declines, and the mark-to-market impacts from the company’s pension plan,” he said.

“To provide investors with more information about the performance of our regulated operations, this year we will begin measuring our annual growth rate based on Core earnings,” Tierney said. “This non-GAAP metric includes our four business segments: Distribution, Integrated, Stand-Alone Transmission and Corporate, but excludes special items and the income from our non-core, legacy investment in the Signal Peak coal mine and net periodic pension income.”

Core (non-GAAP) earnings* were $2.37 per share in 2024, an 8% increase from $2.20 per share in 2023. In 2022, Core (non-GAAP) earnings were $1.78 per share. A reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP earnings is noted in the table below and is also available in the company’s Strategic and Financial Highlights document, available online at www.firstenergycorp.com/ir.

FirstEnergy is introducing a 2025 Core earnings guidance range of $1.4 billion to $1.5 billion, or $2.40 to $2.60 per share, representing 5.5% growth (at the midpoint) compared to 2024 Core earnings, and is introducing a targeted 6-8% compounded annual growth rate for Core earnings through the five-year planning period.

FirstEnergy’s growth is supported by Energize365, a systemwide capital investment program introduced one year ago that is focused on enhancing system reliability and resilience,


3
preparing for demand growth and improving the customer experience while maintaining a strong affordability position. In 2024, FirstEnergy invested $4.5 billion in its system through Energize365, surpassing its 2023 investment level by 20%. The company expects to invest $5.0 billion on behalf of its customers in 2025 through the Energize365 program.

Today, FirstEnergy is extending Energize365 through 2029 with a base investment plan of $28 billion, an increase of 8% compared to the 2024-2028 program. This base plan is not expected to require the issuance of incremental equity beyond the company’s employee benefits programs. The company is committed to its investment-grade credit ratings and will consider a broad range of financing options should the base plan grow.

Fourth Quarter Results

Fourth quarter 2024 GAAP earnings from continuing operations were $261 million, or $0.45 per basic and diluted share, on revenue of $3.2 billion. This compares to fourth quarter 2023 GAAP earnings from continuing operations of $175 million, or $0.30 per basic and diluted share, on revenue of $3.2 billion. Results for both periods include the special items listed below. Operating (non-GAAP) earnings* were $0.67 per share in the fourth quarter of 2024, within the company’s guidance range. Operating (non-GAAP) earnings in the fourth quarter of 2023 were $0.62 per share.

Core (non-GAAP) earnings were $0.61 per share in the fourth quarter of 2024, compared to $0.52 per share in the fourth quarter of 2023.

Fourth quarter 2024 earnings benefited from rate base growth in the company’s distribution and transmission formula rate programs, higher revenue resulting from base rate case orders and lower operating expenses. These were partially offset by a higher effective tax rate and lower Ohio distribution revenues resulting from the ESP V order.

Total distribution deliveries were essentially unchanged compared to the fourth quarter of 2023. The impact of weather was relatively flat compared to the fourth quarter of 2023 but heating degree days were 10% below normal, which negatively impacted results in the fourth quarter of 2024.


4

Fourth quarter 2024 earnings in the Distribution segment increased compared to the fourth quarter of 2023. Lower operating expenses were partially offset by lower revenues resulting from the impact of Ohio ESP V, which was effective June 1, 2024.

In the Integrated segment, fourth quarter earnings increased compared to the fourth quarter of 2023, primarily reflecting the implementation of new distribution base rates, distribution and formula-rate transmission investment programs, and lower operating expenses and financing costs.

In the Stand-Alone Transmission segment, fourth quarter 2024 earnings increased by 12% resulting from rate base growth of 10%, but this was more than offset by the dilution from the incremental 30% interest sale of FirstEnergy Transmission (FET) to Brookfield, which closed in March of 2024.

Fourth quarter 2024 results decreased in Corporate/Other as lower income tax benefits were partially offset by lower interest costs associated with holding company debt redemptions.

Full Year Results

Full-year 2024 earnings reflect continued growth from the company’s regulated investment strategy including the impact of new base rates and formula investment programs. Results also benefited from increased customer demand, primarily due to higher weather-related deliveries. These factors more than offset the impact of higher storm restoration and planned operating expenses, the dilutive effect of the FET equity interest sale and lower revenues in Ohio resulting from the ESP V order.

Heating degree days in 2024 were 15% below normal and slightly below 2023, while cooling degree days were 15% above normal and 37% above 2023. This contributed to a 2.8% increase in total distribution deliveries in 2024 as compared to 2023. On a weather-adjusted basis, load was flat compared to 2023, comprising slight decreases in residential and commercial sales, and stronger industrial demand.

Per share amounts for the special items, Signal Peak and Net Pension/OPEB credits adjustments above are based on the after-tax effect of each item divided by the number of shares outstanding for the period. The current and deferred income tax effect was calculated by applying the subsidiaries' statutory tax rate to the pre-tax amount if deductible/taxable. The income tax rate ranges from 21% to 29%. Basic EPS from Continuing Operations (GAAP), Operating EPS (non-GAAP) and Core EPS (non-GAAP) are based on 576 million shares for the fourth quarter of 2024, 575 million shares for the full year 2024, 574 million shares for the fourth quarter of 2023, 573 million shares for the full year 2023 and 571 million for the full year 2022.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

*We refer to certain financial measures, including Core earnings (non-GAAP) per share (“Core EPS”) and Operating earnings (non-GAAP) per share (“Operating EPS”), as “non-GAAP financial measures,” which are not calculated in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”) and exclude the impact of “special items” from earnings attributable to FirstEnergy Corp. from continuing operations for Operating EPS, as reflected in the table above. Core EPS further excludes from Operating EPS the earnings contribution of Signal Peak and net periodic pension and other postemployment benefits (“OPEB”) credits, other than the mark-to-market adjustment and other related charges, which are already excluded as special items. Operating EPS and Core EPS also exclude the impact of Discontinued Operations. Operating EPS and Core EPS are based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding in the respective period.

Management uses these non-GAAP financial measures to evaluate the company’s and its segments’ performance and manage its operations and frequently references these non-GAAP financial measures in its decision-making, using them to facilitate historical and ongoing performance comparisons. Management believes that the non-GAAP financial measures of Operating earnings (loss), Operating EPS, including by segment, and Core EPS, provide consistent and comparable measures of performance of its businesses on an ongoing basis. Management also believes that such measures are useful to shareholders and other interested parties to understand performance


6
trends and evaluate the company against its peer group by presenting period-over-period operating results without the effect of certain special items, the earnings contribution of Signal Peak and Net Pension/OPEB credits, that may not be consistent or comparable across periods or across the company’s peer group. These non-GAAP financial measures are intended to complement, and are not considered as alternatives to, the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures, which for Operating EPS and Core EPS is EPS attributable to FirstEnergy Corp. from Continuing Operations (GAAP), as reconciled in the above table. Also, such non-GAAP financial measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other entities.

Special items represent charges incurred or benefits realized that management believes are not indicative of, or may obscure trends useful in evaluating the company’s ongoing core activities and results of operations or otherwise warrant separate classification. Special Items for the period can be found in more detail in the Company’s Strategic and Financial Highlights, available at www.firstenergycorp.com/ir.

Forward-Looking Non-GAAP Measures
A quantitative reconciliation of forward-looking non-GAAP measures, including 2025 Core earnings and compound annual Core earnings growth projections, to the most directly comparable GAAP measures is not provided because comparable GAAP measures for such measures are not available without unreasonable efforts due to the inherent difficulty in forecasting and quantifying measures that would be necessary for such reconciliation. Specifically, management cannot, without unreasonable effort, predict the impact of these special items in the context of Core earnings guidance and compound annual Core EPS growth rate projections because these items, which could be significant, are difficult to predict and may be highly variable. In addition, the company believes such a reconciliation would imply a degree of precision and certainty that could be confusing to investors. Forward-looking statements, including these special items, are based upon current expectations and are subject to factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those suggested here, including those factors set forth under “Forward-Looking Statements,” below.

Non-GAAP Financial Matters Strategic & Financial Highlights - Published Feb. 26, 20253 This presentation contains references to certain financial measures including Baseline O&M, Core earnings per share (“Core EPS”) and Operating earnings per share (“Operating EPS”), as “non-GAAP financial measures,” which are not calculated in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”) and exclude the impact of “special items,” from earnings attributable to FirstEnergy Corp. from continuing operations for Operating EPS. Core EPS further excludes from Operating EPS the earnings contribution of Signal Peak and net periodic pension and other post- employment benefits (“OPEB”) credits, other than the mark-to-market adjustment and other related charges, which are already excluded as special items. Core EPS and Operating EPS also exclude the impact of Discontinued Operations. Management uses these non-GAAP financial measures to evaluate the company’s and its segments’ performance and manage its operations and references these non-GAAP financial measures in its decision-making, using them to facilitate historical and ongoing performance comparisons. Management believes that the non-GAAP financial measures of Core EPS and Operating EPS, including by segment, provide consistent and comparable measures of performance of its businesses on an ongoing basis. Management also believes that such measures are useful to shareholders and other interested parties to understand performance trends and evaluate the company against its peer group by presenting period-over-period operating results, excluding the impacts described above, that may not be consistent or comparable across periods or across the company’s peer group. These non-GAAP financial measures are intended to complement, and are not considered as alternatives to, the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures, which for Operating EPS and Core EPS is EPS attributable to FirstEnergy Corp. from Continuing Operations (GAAP), as reconciled. Also, such non-GAAP financial measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other entities. Special items represent charges incurred or benefits realized that management believes are not indicative of, or may obscure trends useful in evaluating the company’s ongoing core activities and results of operations or otherwise warrant separate classification. Operating EPS and Core EPS are calculated based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding in the respective period. A reconciliation of forward-looking non-GAAP measures, including 2025 Core EPS and Core EPS compound annual growth rate projections, to the most directly comparable GAAP measures is not provided because comparable GAAP measures are not available without unreasonable efforts due to the inherent difficulty in forecasting and quantifying measures that would be necessary for such reconciliation. Specifically, management cannot, without unreasonable effort, predict the impact of these special items in the context of Core EPS guidance, or Core EPS growth rate projections forecasts because these items, which could be significant, are difficult to predict and may be highly variable. In addition, the Company believes such a reconciliation would imply a degree of precision and certainty that could be confusing to investors. These special items are uncertain, depend on various factors and may have a material impact on our future GAAP results.

Non-GAAP Financial Matters 54 This presentation contains references to certain financial measures including Baseline O&M, Core earnings per share (“Core EPS”) and Operating earnings per share (“Operating EPS”), as “non-GAAP financial measures,” which are not calculated in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”) and exclude the impact of “special items,” from earnings attributable to FirstEnergy Corp. from continuing operations for Operating EPS. Core EPS further excludes from Operating EPS the earnings contribution of Signal Peak and net periodic pension and other post- employment benefits (“OPEB”) credits, other than the mark-to-market adjustment and other related charges, which are already excluded as special items. Core EPS and Operating EPS also exclude the impact of Discontinued Operations. Management uses these non-GAAP financial measures to evaluate the company’s and its segments’ performance and manage its operations and references these non-GAAP financial measures in its decision-making, using them to facilitate historical and ongoing performance comparisons. Management believes that the non-GAAP financial measures of Core EPS and Operating EPS, including by segment, provide consistent and comparable measures of performance of its businesses on an ongoing basis. Management also believes that such measures are useful to shareholders and other interested parties to understand performance trends and evaluate the company against its peer group by presenting period-over-period operating results, excluding the impacts described above, that may not be consistent or comparable across periods or across the company’s peer group. These non-GAAP financial measures are intended to complement, and are not considered as alternatives to, the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures, which for Operating EPS and Core EPS is EPS attributable to FirstEnergy Corp. from Continuing Operations (GAAP), as reconciled. Also, such non-GAAP financial measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other entities. Special items represent charges incurred or benefits realized that management believes are not indicative of, or may obscure trends useful in evaluating the company’s ongoing core activities and results of operations or otherwise warrant separate classification. Operating EPS and Core EPS are calculated based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding in the respective period. A reconciliation of forward-looking non-GAAP measures, including 2025 Core EPS and Core EPS compound annual growth rate projections, to the most directly comparable GAAP measures is not provided because comparable GAAP measures are not available without unreasonable efforts due to the inherent difficulty in forecasting and quantifying measures that would be necessary for such reconciliation. Specifically, management cannot, without unreasonable effort, predict the impact of these special items in the context of Core EPS guidance, or Core EPS growth rate projections forecasts because these items, which could be significant, are difficult to predict and may be highly variable. In addition, the Company believes such a reconciliation would imply a degree of precision and certainty that could be confusing to investors. These special items are uncertain, depend on various factors and may have a material impact on our future GAAP results. Investor FactBook - Published Feb. 26, 2025
