 on electric IOUs through the establishment of the Wildfire Fund. We discuss the 2019 Wildfire Legislation and related Wildfire Fund further in Note 1 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the Annual Report.SDG&E expects to submit its request to the OEIS for its annual wildfire safety certification in December 2025. OEIS will have until March 2026 to issue the certification or provide written notice explaining why additional time is needed. SDG&E’s existing certification remains valid until this pending request is resolved.

Wildfire Fund AssetAt September 30, 2025, the carrying value of SDG&E’s Wildfire Fund asset totaled $264 million.SDG&E recognizes a reduction of its Wildfire Fund asset and records a charge against earnings in the period when there is a reduction of the available coverage due to recoverable claims from any of the participating IOUs. Wildfire claims that are recoverable from the Wildfire Fund, net of anticipated or actual reimbursement to the Wildfire Fund by the responsible IOU, decrease the Wildfire Fund asset and remaining available coverage. SDG&E periodically evaluates the estimated period of benefit of the Wildfire Fund asset based on actual experience and changes in assumptions, including relying on publicly disclosed wildfire-related losses incurred by the other participating IOUs. In October 2025, a participating IOU publicly disclosed that it has received, or expects to receive, approximately $1.2 billion in aggregate reimbursements from the Wildfire Fund for eligible claims related to wildfires that occurred in 2019 and 2021. In the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2025, SDG&E reduced its Wildfire Fund asset by recording $2 million of accelerated amortization in O&M on Sempra’s and SDG&E’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.Also in October 2025, another participating IOU publicly disclosed its intent to seek reimbursement from the Wildfire Fund for losses incurred and expected to be incurred in connection with a wildfire that remains under investigation, and for which the cause has not yet been conclusively determined. The administrator of the Wildfire Fund has confirmed that this wildfire qualifies as a “covered wildfire” for purposes of accessing the fund. The participating IOU has stated that it is currently unable to reasonably estimate a range of potential losses associated with this event. Accordingly, SDG&E is unable to estimate a range of potential loss resulting from any reduction in available coverage from the Wildfire Fund. 2025 Wildfire LegislationIn September 202
